A Spark's Life That Shines Book 1 (TFP Fanfiction) [Slow Updates/Haitus]

Lost memories Part 8

"I should've done more. Why couldn't I find a solution? I feel so… useless..." Ratchet said as he hung his head sadly and covered his optics.

"I can't believe Emily is gone. And so is Arcee and Cliffjumper." Miko said sadly as she sat down on the couch with Bolty letting out a sad sound.

"We won't ever see them again." Raf said as he sniffed while trying to dry his tears.

"Arcee thought of me as a friend. And I didn't even say anything." Jack said as he gritted his teeth and shut his eyes. He should have said something!

"I never thought that I would say this but I'm really gonna miss those three. Cliffjumper was wilder than a Texas bull but he was a good soldier. Arcee wasn't very talkative but deep down she was very good. And deep down, she had a good heart too. And Emily, that girl had a bright future. But she gave up on that to save us." Agent Fowler said as he lowered his head. Those three had bright futures ahead of them but now...

Everyone had said something about all of this except Optimus who felt like the words of a Prime wouldn't help the others feel better as he hung his helm sadly. He should have gone and gone back to the others but it's too late now.

Suddenly, a weird static sound was heard through the comm-link as everyone perked up and looked at the screens.

"What's that sound?" Wheeljack asked in confusion. Bumblebee shrugged and shook his head since he didn't know.

"It sounds like… a message… like an incoming transmission." Raf said as he looked at it closely. They started to feel hope in them.

"You think it's…?" Smokescreen asked hopefully.

"It could be. Let's see if I can boost the signal." Ratchet said as he quickly started to boost on the signal to try and see who's contacting the base and hoping that it might be Arcee, Emily and Cliffjumper.

"Come on, come on." Ratchet muttered.

At first the signal was a bit weak but Ratchet was able to boost the signal and heard what it was. He heard a voice, it was faint but recognizable to them all.

"Cliffjumper to base. Does anyone read me? Hey, can someone pick up? I'm freezing here." It was Cliffjumper and he's alive!

"Cliffjumper! You're alive!" Ratchet exclaimed in joy as Miko jumped to her feet when she heard this.

"Cliffjumper is alive! Sweet!" Miko cheered.

"If he's alive, then that means..." Raf said hopefully as he looked at Jack who nodded.

"Arcee is alive too. And so is Emily." Jack said happily.

"Alright! See I told you that girl was tough." Fowler cheered.

"Hahaha. You see that they're alive!" Bulkhead cheered in joy.

Out of the excitement Bulkhead hit Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Smokescreen on the back at the same time as they all laughed happily. Optimus let out a smile, knowing that his friends were okay and alive made him feel better as he let out a small sigh of relief.

"I can't believe you're still alive. How is it possible?" Ratchet said in disbelief yet in joy. He was glad that they were alive.
