Author's note: In the original version,
Nebula was the femme in it. Another TransFan said I should use an
official Femme, so I changed her to Arcee, BUT THEN WHO’S STORY IS IT?!!! So Nebula is back! Featured
in Overlord II, issue 11, 1993. - Please note "Tanya Dean" was
Seawave's old human name ;) ... Overlord II features the
Arcee version.

NARROW ESCAPE
Optimus Prime stood on a cliff's edge,
looking down on the sparkling blue sea. He gazed up into the blue sky and saw
some birds fly by, chirping as they went. He believed Earth was one of the most
beautiful planets in the Universe, so different from his home planet,
Cybertron. She was like a second home to him. He loved Earth, its creatures and
never wanted any harm to come to them. He felt it was his duty to protect them
all.
All of a sudden, a blast hit him. He crashed
on his stomach on a lower part of the cliff, quite far down. The impact was
extremely painful. He was bleeding and couldn't stand. Megatron flew down to
him, and stood on the ledge. He looked at Optimus and laughed. "Now, Optimus
Prime...There is no escape --"
Optimus knew it. There was no way he could
escape this time. Megatron kicked him hard in his stomach, intensifying the
pain. Megatron aimed his fusion cannon at Optimus Prime. The Autobot leader hid
his fear.
A blast hit Megatron's fusion cannon, which
went hurtling into the ocean below. Megatron almost slipped. He angrily glared
into the sky, and saw Nebula land in front of Optimus, shielding him.
"You'll pay for that" Megatron
cursed angrily.
"How much?"
Nebula observed Megatron was getting
angrier. She tried to shoot him, but he grabbed her wrist. Optimus hoped she
hadn't gone out of her league.
Megatron grabbed her gun and tried to shoot
Optimus Prime.
"No!" she exclaimed, pushing
Megatron's arm away, and the laser fired harmlessly upwards.
"You foolish girl!" he said
angrily grabbing her.
"Who're you callin' a girl?!"
Nebula snapped, trying to struggle away. Megatron tried to push her off the
cliff. He forced her onto her knees and pushed her. Nebula hung onto the edge
of the cliff. Megatron looked down at her.
"You are no threat to me," he
said. "You couldn't be a threat to anyone."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that,
Megabum," she said, somersaulting up and landing behind him.
Momentarily surprised, Megatron was off guard
for a moment, which gave Nebula the advantage. She savagely pushed him off the
cliff.
"Bye, bye, Mega baby" she teased.
"Happy landing ....."
Megatron crashed into a large rock on the
way down, then splashed into the shallow ocean. Hurt, he fumbled around for his
fusion cannon and put it placed onto his arm. He was low on energy and couldn't
use it, but he could still fly. He knew he couldn't win this one.
Nebula gently picked up Optimus Prime, who
was now unconscious. She managed to fly with him to the top of the cliff, then
gently lay him onto the ground. He was too heavy for her to fly all the way
back to Autobot headquarters. She radioed home base.
"Hey, Skyfire, we need a taxi."
Within minutes, Skyfire landed and took them
home.
After Ratchet and First Aid had repaired
Optimus Prime, he
thanked them, walked out of the repair bay
and found Nebula.
"Thank you" he said, in his deep,
gentle voice.
She smiled and gently kissed him.
"Don't mention it. Did you see the look
on Megatron's face when I beat him!"
Optimus smiled. "There aren't many of
those moments... C'mon, let's go for a drive."
Optimus transformed into his truck mode,
Nebula into her bleu and white sports car.
Optimus drove with her to the same cliff.
They transformed into their robot modes and held hands. The sky was darkening.
They looked at the glistening water, then at the setting sun. The light
shimmered over them, as the sun disappeared over the horizon.
