Chapter 11
He's Back

They all turned to see a fully grown Prowl. He had gotten told by Nightshocker and Jazz on what had happened and he blamed himself for not being able to help so he asked Nightshocker to make him fully grown so he can be more useful to them in the future.
"Prowl!" Everyone said happily. Bee set Arcana down on a chair.
"I'll be right back." Bee said with a smile.
Arcana nodded. She had a confused look on her face. "Prowl had sacrificed his life to save this planet for Megatron and from the other deceptive cons." Optimus explained.
"Then Phoenix brought him back." Bulkhead added.
"And after listening to Jazz and Nightshocker's report I decided to have Nightshocker to make me fully grown, so I can be more useful to the others." Prowl said.
"Gotcha." She said with a smile. Bumble Bee then went over to Prowl and hugged him along with Bulkhead. Optimus shook his head.
"It's really good to have you back." Optimus said with a smile.
"How you feeling, kid?" Ratchet asked with a smile.
"I feel better." Prowl said with a smile. "It feels good to be independent again. How is Phoenix?" Prowl asked.
"She's recharging peacefully but we are going to have another sparkling running around here sooner or later." Ratchet said with a smile. Optimus quickly looked at Ratchet.
"You mean?" He asked in shock.
Ratchet nodded. "Yep on your first bonding you turned her into a carrier." He said. Optimus ran to the old med bot and hugged him. He was so happy.
"That's great." He said. Arcana smiled.
"Have you guys found Mother Bear yet?" She asked.
"Yes we have." Bumble Bee said.
"Optimus you should call Mother Bear and Magnus and let them know the great news." Prowl suggested. Optimus nodded and ran to the control room. Ratchet left and followed Optimus.
"Bumble Bee take Arcana to the med bay, I'll be there shortly." Ratchet said. Bumble Bee nodded and did as he was told. He then left to let Arcana get some rest. Arcana changed into her wolf form and curled up next to Phoenix.
"Don't worry I'm going to protect both of you with my life." Arcana said softly while nuzzling and licking Phoenix's face.
Phoenix just grunted but let Arcana lick her to clean her while she slept. It actually comforted Phoenix knowing that Arcana were there.

Prowl walked up to Sari who was crying and holding a pillow to her. "Sari?" He asked softly while walking up to her. She squeaked and looked up at him.
"Prowl?" She asked in shock. She then got up and ran to him. She'd been hugged him. "I missed you." She said between sobs.
"I have missed you as well. Now tell me what's wrong?" Prowl asked.
She sighed. "Everyone is going to leave me for someone else." She said while ducking her head.
Prowl smiled down at her. "Sari, we can never leave you. You see you are a sparkling that we all love and will always cherish, but Optimus, Jazz and the others including me, have other needs like the humans do. We want and need to find our other half, including myself, our spark mates. But when we do we will always be there for you as well. You are our friend and we will never abandon you. We will want you and our mates to get along otherwise it will put more strain on us because we want both you, and our spark mates to be happy. Do you understand?" He asked while picking her up.
She took a deep breath and then nodded. "I think so." She said.
"Then why don't you go apologize to Bumble Bee, Arcana, Phoenix, and Optimus? Since Phoenix is pregnant so we are going to need you more than ever. You are going to be our last defense in protecting her and trying not to let her get too stressed." Prowl said with a smile. Sari nodded now getting more serious.
Now she understood she had a very important role to play now. She would have to protect Phoenix and the baby with her life if needed. Prowl took her to Arcana and Phoenix first.
"Arcana, Sari has something she wishes to tell you." Prowl said softly.
"And Phoenix once she wakes up." Sari said.
"She can hear you, she just doesn't have the energy to respond." Arcana said.
Sari nodded. "I wanted to say that I'm sorry for the way I've been acting. I was scared because you see Prowl, Bumble Bee, and the others are my first real friends. I don't have any organic friends except Capt. Fanzone and my father." She said while ducking her head.
Phoenix listed in hand trying to find Sari to pat her on the head. Arcana stuck she snout under Phoenix's arm and pattered gently pat Sari on the head. Then she put Phoenix's arm back to the spot it was in before. "That's Phoenix's tired way of saying its okay and don't worry about it. And I can understand, but don't worry we will become great friends and you can help me protect Phoenix and the sparkling." Arcana said with a smile.
Sari nodded and then Prowl set her down. Sari went over and laid on Arcana's side. "Has anyone told you that you have soft fur?" Sari asked.
Arcana smiled. "Nope but come here." She said while using her paw to drag Sari to the front of her then began to bathe Sari wolf style.
Prowl watched in awe. He has never been able to watch the canine species before. Sari was laughing with each lick Arcana gave her. She would fall over and it tickled her. With each time she tried to escape Arcana would just bring her right back, until she was clean by Arcana's standards.
"What was that for?" Sari asked while trying to catch her breath and wiping the slobber off of her.
"You needed to be cleaned." Arcana said with a smile. Sari laughed and soon Arcana joined.
"What's going on?" Ratchet's voice asked.
They all looked at the door to see Ratchet and Arcee. "Arcana gave Sari a bath." Prowl said.
"I see, now then if you won't mind I need to look over Arcana." Ratchet said. Prowl nodded and picked up Sari and took her to Bumble Bee and Optimus. Optimus was still talking with Cliffjumper because he was trying to get a hold of Ultra Magnus and Mother Bear.
"Come on Cliffjumper. Just patch Boss bot through. It's really important." Bumble Bee yelled into the screen.
"Ultra Magnus said he didn't want to be disturbed. I can't patch you through." Cliffjumper said.
"Then patch us through to Mother Bear. We need to tell her something about Phoenix and see if its normal or not." Prowl said.
"Why don't you ask Nightshocker?" Cliffjumper asked.
"Because Mother Bear is like the medic of their group so either patch them through or so help me I will make sure you catch some organic disease." Sari said while glaring at Cliffjumper who began to panic a little.
"Okay I'll patch you through." Cliffjumper said as he hit a few buttons and then they were patched into Ultra Magnus' estate.
"It better be important." Ultra Magnus said. Then realized it was Optimus.
"It is sir. We found Arcana and we have other good news." Optimus said with a serious face.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Phoenix is now my bondmate and is carrying." Optimus reported.
Ultra Magnus was stunned, but then smiled. "Congratulations Optimus Prime. I hope you are planning on having a ceremony soon." Ultra Magnus said as Mother Bear came over.
"Yes, but Phoenix wishes to find the rest of her team before we have the ceremony." Optimus said.
"Yeah, if it wasn't for the 'Cons, they would have done things in the right order." Jazz said while patting Optimus on the back.
"What happened?" Mother Bear asked.
"We got ambushed by the Decepticons and I had to bond with her or Megatron would have." Optimus reported.
"Then it's a good thing you did. You have our blessings." Mother Bear said with a smile. Optimus smiled as well.
"Thank you Mother Bear." Optimus said.
"Now you contact us if there is any trouble or anything. I will let Cliffjumper know that if you contact us to send you right through." Ultra Magnus said.
"Thank you sir and we will keep in touch." Optimus said.
"Hey Magnus is Sentinel still alive?" Jazz asked teasingly.
"Yes, he still is serving his punishment." Ultra Magnus said.
"Oh? I thought Mother Bear would have ripped out his spark already." Jazz said.
"She is going to do that after he is finished serving his punishment." Ultra Magnus said.
"Gotcha." Jazz said with a smile. "Now you two have fun and catch up." He added before cutting the line.
"Let's go check on Phoenix and Arcana." Bumble Bee said.
