Transformers: New Beginning Book 1

Chapter 1 - Little Pax

For the hundreth time Ratchet sighed. Now don't get him wrong he loved sparklings they always melted his spark but it was to early after Optimus Prime's death to be handling new sparks. At least that's how Ratchet saw it.

Since the return of many Cybertronians new sparks had begun appearing out of The Well of Allsparks. As the top Medic it was his job to go through sparklings from the Well and save their spark signatures into the Cybertronian database.

He continued down the rows bored out of his professor. He heard a soft mewling behind him. Ratchet laughed at the sparking behined him who looked lile it was a miniature Optimus. He walked over and checked the pad on the crib. The little femme had just been brought in and was not yet in the database.

He grabed the scanner from his waist and scaned her spark. If it flashed RED then she wasn't in the database if it flashes GREEN then she was but if it flashed BLUE then it meant that she had been scanned but the sparkling was a reincarnation of a dead Cybertronian which had only happened 16 times in the past, that they knew of.

The screen on the scanner flashed blue. Ratchets optics widened. Blue?!

"By the allspark!!!" Ratchet then plugged the scanner into the mainframe and had the computer search for a Spark signature match.

A match came up.

Signature Match___
___Designations:
- Optimus Prime
Formally
- Orion Pax

Ratchet had to read it 20 times to make sure that he wasn't glitching but he wasn't.

Ratchet then comlinked Arcee.

"Arcee!!!"

"Ratchet? You ok?"

"NO! Get down here now! We have a situation."

Arcee laughed. "Oh Ratchet they're just sparklings. They're harmless."

"Arcee... ...One of them has Optimus's spark signature."

Pause....

"...Wha? I.. I'll be there just give me a couple minutes."

Ratchet walked back to the little femme and picked her up. "Hello little femme. We need to give you a name." Ratchet paused and smiled. "How about Orian Pax? You're still Optimus and it's a feminine sound of Orion." At the sound of Ratchet's voice she smiled and kaighrd at him almost like she was agreeing with the old mech.

"RATCHET!" Ratchet turned and glared at Arcee. Why did she feel the need to yell in a room full of sleeping sparklings? That was foolish. Thankfully none of them woke up and cried.

Arcee walked over and Ratchet sat down so she could get a better look.

"The sparkling is a femme. Her designation is going to be Orian Pax. It's a play off of Orion Optimus's name before he became a Prime."

Arcee smiled. "I like it. She's Optimus but yet not."

"Haha so who's Optimus but not?" Arcee and Ratchet turned to see Alpha Trion.

Upon Apha Trion's appearance Ratchet began explain explaining his finding to Alpha Trion who was now holding the little femme.

"Well now would you look at that? If you don't mine Ratchet I wish to take her. I raised Optimus and I think that it would be fitting for me to raise her. Think I did a good job, after all Orion did become a great prime." Alpha Trion asked the old medic.

"Go on then, I'll make the arrangements." Ratchet smiled he looked at Arcee who had energon tears. Neither of them ever thought that they'd see their old friend again.

Just then Orian Pax woke opening her optics for the first time since her emergence from the well. The first person she saw was Ratchet and she giggled out "ol fied" All three adult Cybertronian's optics widened and they laughed.

"It would seem that she knows you medic." Alpha Trion then left not long after with the little femme leaving behined two very peaceful Cybertronians in a room full of sleeping new sparks.

Ratchet looked back at the scanner. Odd Orian's spark signature should have been 100% the exact same as Optimus's spark signature. It wasn't. Something had changed. It was only 50 percent the same. His optics widened. "Arcee look at this!"

"Rach? What does it mean?" Arcee couldn't believe that Ratchet had missed this.

"I cannot be fully certain. However I suspect and I may be wrong, that Primus has merge Optimus's spark with another. This is only half Prime's spark. We need to keep this quiet Arcee. Optimus and this other spark needs to be protected. I'll look at the ancient database in Kaon. The most ancient spark signatures are there."

Arcwe? frowned."Then should we tell Alpha Trion?"

"NO! Absolutely not. I never trusted Alpha Trion. I fear that he has some sort of ulterior motive for wanting Optimus.  He was far to quick in wanting Optimus."

"Ratchet that's insanity!" Arcee was shocked at the accusation.

Ratchet laughed bitterly. "Then tell me this. Do you know who ordered the attack on the very first Decepticon protesters? How did Alpha Trion even survive the bombing of Iacon when the only survivors were on a Decepticon warship and were ALL killed but Smokescreen? He is one of the LAST council members of the golden age to survive Megatron's onslaught.

Arcee looked away and down to her peds. Ratchet knew more than anyone about why the war started. " Then what do we do?"

Ratchet look her in the optics. "We find Megatron and re-intwine their fates again. Megatron opened Orion up to the truth. Only Megatron can teach her to fight and to be a Prime again."

"That's INSANE!"

Ratchet smiled. "I know but when they lay optic on one another Megatron won't leave Cybertorn he'll stay for her. His spark will recognise Orion Pax. He loved Orion. He won't abandon Optimus or make the same mistakes twice.

"This is crazy." Arcee grumbled.

Ok jusy letting you know that Bold is for comlinks.
