I am NOT going insane!\u201d Optimus said to himself once he got a psych eval from Ratchet. He was deemed unfit for duty again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTalking to people that aren\u2019t really there,\u201d countered Nemesis Prime\u2019s voice from behind him, \u201cis a pretty good sign of insanity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomeone is trying to TRICK me!\u201d insisted Optimus. \u201cMake me think I\u2019m going insane!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cParanoia is another sign of insanity,\u201d Nemesis pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am NOT listening to you!\u201d hissed Optimus. \u201cYou\u2019re not really there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course not,\u201d agreed Nemesis. \u201cDelusions! See where I\u2019m going with this?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to get help on this matter,\u201d resolved Optimus. \u201cMaybe this is a psychic attack.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou know, you should really kill Tails,\u201d suggested Nemesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Shut up!\u201d snarled Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe could become me at any moment,\u201d taunted Nemesis. \u201cOops, there\u2019s that paranoia again!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI said shut up!\u201d growled Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKill him!\u201d said Nemesis. \u201cJust like you killed them!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI SAID SHUT UP!\u201d roared Optimus as he swung his axe while Nemesis vanished. Optimus tried to steady his breathing as he sat at his table. He then activated his monitor. \u201cConnect personal call to Outpost Amazon in the Sea of Rust,\u201d he ordered. \u201cClearance Code: Prime Omega.\u201d The call was transmitting. \u201cThis is Optimus Prime, calling any of the Rust Renegades available. Come in, please.\u201d A small femme in rusty green and red appeared. She appeared to have a motorcycle appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is Rust Dust,\u201d she introduced. \u201cFar away, never roam. What\u2019s up, Prime? It\u2019s been a while since you called us. How\u2019s your magic practice?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI need a message delivered to Pyra Magna,\u201d responded Optimus. \u201cI think I need her help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d asked Rust Dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I\u2019m suffering from a psychic attack,\u201d replied Optimus. He then described what went on in his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUh oh,\u201d gulped Rust Dust. \u201cYou need help. I\u2019ll tell Pyra Magna about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks,\u201d said a grateful Optimus. The call ended and he slumped into his chair. \u201cI just hope magic isn\u2019t involved.\u201d The instant he wished that; an image painfully flashed into his mind about a family of three. \u201cThe frack was that?!\u201d he yelped when he recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ratchet decided to give him another check-up when he heard about an image painfully flashing into his head. He still got nothing. \u201cMaybe this is a chronic condition sprouting out of nowhere,\u201d guessed Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot likely,\u201d countered Ratchet. \u201cYou\u2019re usually born with a chronic condition. Maybe your magic is acting against you again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hope not,\u201d gulped Optimus. He then noticed something, or rather, someone. \u201cRatchet, do you see anyone to your left? My cousin, Mirage, for instance?\u201d Ratchet checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, Sir,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s up, you fracking murderous waste of trash?\u201d asked the illusion of Mirage, a white mech with a blue helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Okay, this isn\u2019t happening!\u201d snapped Optimus. \u201cYou\u2019re not really there! I know you\u2019re not really there!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course not,\u201d responded Illusion-Mirage. \u201cWhy would I be in the same room with my evil cousin?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Your father\u2019s chin is the size of Jupiter!\u201d remarked Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOkay, that\u2019s just immature,\u201d hissed Illusion-Mirage. \u201cMY FATHER\u2019S CHIN IS FINE!!\u201d He then vanished, firing his gun and ranting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is starting to affect you in a negative way,\u201d remarked Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSTARTING to?!\u201d Optimus responded. The family\u2019s image then flashed painfully into his head again. He fell off the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrime!\u201d yelped Ratchet. He helped him up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s\u2026DOING that?!\u201d strained Optimus as he tried to clear the headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is some Silent Hill<\/em> scrap here,\u201d sighed Ratchet. Optimus blinked, then stared at Ratchet. \u201c\u2026What?\u201d asked Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou know the Silent Hill<\/em> franchise?\u201d inquired Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust because I\u2019m an old mech,\u201d countered Ratchet, \u201cdoes NOT mean I don\u2019t play the occasional video game!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI just\u2026never took you as a gamer,\u201d said Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJust go back to your quarters and rest!\u201d snapped Ratchet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOptimus is WHAT?!\u201d yelped Pyra Magna when the news reached her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot good!\u201d gulped a helicopter femme with a visor over her optics, Stormclash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot good at all!\u201d confirmed her helicopter twin, Skyburst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOrders, Ma\u2019am?\u201d inquired a car femme, Jumpstream. The last of the team, another car femme named Dust Up, said nothing. She just rolled her optics at the apparent sucking up Jumpstream was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have to go to Earth,\u201d said Pyra Magna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLeave the base unguarded?!\u201d yelped Rust Dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can\u2019t do that!\u201d protested Skyburst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can, and we will,\u201d declared Pyra Magna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cExcellent choice, Ma\u2019am,\u201d affirmed Jumpstream. Dust Up snorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou follow the 33rd<\/sup> Femaxian Point of Profit too easily,\u201d she snarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSays the cynic!\u201d retorted Jumpstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLadies, enough!\u201d said Pyra Magna. \u201cOptimus has called us for help and we need to respond. Now, come on. To our Space Bridge!\u201d The Rust Renegades approached the Space Bridge platform and set the coordinates. They arrived a few miles outside the city to get vehicle modes to suit them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Rust Renegades?\u201d asked Ultra Magnus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf this IS a psychic attack,\u201d explained Optimus, \u201cI need their help. I\u2019m not skilled in fending off psychic attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI see,\u201d remarked Ultra Magnus. \u201cWhen can I expect them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProbably in an hour, if not earlier,\u201d replied Optimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, thanks for that!\u201d hissed Ultra Magnus, displeased with the sudden plans. \u201cI\u2019ll welcome them as soon as they arrive.\u201d He left Optimus\u2019 quarters. No sooner had he done so; laughter rang throughout the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, for Pit\u2019s sake!\u201d snapped Optimus. He then blasted some Heavy Metal until the laughter died. He then made a broadcast to the base. \u201cTo all Autobots that heard the Heavy Metal, I must apologize,\u201d he announced. \u201cI was trying to get rid of evil laughter in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nemesis Prime was covering his ears back at the Decepticon base. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d demanded Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat idiot blasted Heavy Metal!\u201d snapped Nemesis. He then drew in a breath. \u201cBut, I can overcome this.\u201d He went back into his meditative position and his optics turned into purple lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBack to the old grind,\u201d muttered Megatron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLord Megatron,\u201d called Starscream as he and his Seeker Trine approached, \u201cthe Metarex Five, Eggman, and me and my Trine are ready.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSplendid,\u201d replied Megatron. \u201cNemesis, you\u2019re in command until my return.\u201d Nemesis blinked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYour return from where, Megatron?\u201d he quizzed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMy summit with Zarak of Nebulos,\u201d answered Megatron as he and the Seekers left Nemesis alone. Nemesis shrugged and went back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am NOT going insane!\u201d Optimus said to himself once he got a psych eval from Ratchet.
