AN:Hello Mechs and Femmes reading, I'm making a new story for transformers, so more BlackwolfXArcee! :D I'm gonna try to make this story a little longer, but if I can't, I apologize. Now I've been away for too long, I know that's the death of new writers, not being there to write much, but my problems are personal, now sorry if this is AN is a little longer than usual, but I wanted to share something that really bummed me out, someone sent me a message saying that my stories are terrible, they are unoriginal, and are horribly written.
:( Wow… That was my reaction to that, I know I'm still kinda new to fanfic, but people like that don't have to send me messages that discourage me about my stories. But I'll stop talking about the recent past, now on to the story. Please Review. Disclaimer, I own nothing except for Blackwolf and Nitalia.
The fires of war sucked all Cybertronians' in, both Autobot and Decepticon, close to the end of the war, the Autobots' faced only defeat due to the Decepticons' great numbers, their more advanced weaponry, and the limited numbers of Autobots' to send to the front lines, not even the elite guard could be spared. But during a possible turning point of the war, to the Autobots' favor, the Decepticons' began experimenting and making new advanced soldiers to mass produce, for they were desperate to push the Autobots' back to being the losing side of their long and bloody civil war. But they left one of these experiment soldiers, one that was proven to be too deadly amongst the ranks of Decepticons' was left unchecked, and is now long forgotten, but far from dead, and is allied with a long thought dead ally to the Autobots' who seeks revenge. And Team Prime is unaware of what's nearly at their doorstep.
The base was quiet, the Autobots' were powered down, while their human allies were at home, Grimlock lay in the command center, quietly snoozing, and all was peaceful. But outside, a pair of orange-red optics used infrared vision to look inside the base, and locked onto a certain mech with a femme laying at his side, on their berth, and inside their quarters.
"Yes...she's here." a feminine voice spoke quietly, but it was slightly a rough voice, she stood up, and in the dark, when she moved, her pedes slightly burnt the ground which they stepped. But then another dark shape moved in the dark. The figure was larger than the female Cybertronian, but his optics were royal blue.
"Is he there?" he asked in a somewhat deep voice, the pair of scarlet optics turned to face him, and moved closer.
"Why do you care if he's there, Arcee's our target before we think of the others." she hissed. "And besides, he left you to die remember, in your ship crash, he barely looked for you, and left you there to die, if not for me, you'd be dead." his optics lowered when he remembered the day.
"Yes, but it's just that…" he mustered, but she was looking at him again in the blink of an eye.
"But what?!" she growled, but he didn't move back in fear. Instead of that, he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against a large rock, using enough force to crush her neck in moments.
"He was once my best friend!" he dropped her, she grabbed her neck, feeling the dents he had made. "But, I don't think he is my enemy, even if you're here, but I want answers from him, I want to know why he didn't look better through the remnants of my ship." his calm voice returned, she looked up to meet his optics, and a servo held close to pull her up, which she took.
"You're lucky that I owe you my life, or else I would have killed you long ago." but to his surprise, she only laughed at his threat.
"Not likely, I saw that coming the moment I said that, but believe me, you will get your answers from Blackwolf...eventually." she smirked, in a very evil way.
(Five Hours Later, Omega Three)
The base was busy, the Autobots' were all enjoying their time with the humans there, but Optimus and Blackwolf were talking together, and Optimus's faceplate held a disappointed look, not to his family, but to himself.
"Blackwolf, after the battle in the tower, I feel that my place as leader is faltering, after I failed to face Galvatron, and after the battle for Earth, this was revealed to me." Blackwolf was shocked at the Prime's words.
"Optimus, your a great leader, you've led us through the front lines for centuries now, no one could replace your leadership, ever." the other Prime smiled at his leader, but he could sense that Optimus had his mind set on a choice he'd already made.
"I thank you for your kind words, but for the good of our family, I think it is best that I left temporarily, to recover myself." Blackwolf was even more shocked now.
"But Optimus, just because you couldn't fight Galvatron, and when you were prisoner during the battle for Earth, neither were your fault. We were all fairly exhausted when you faced Galvatron, and if you didn't give yourself up, Bumblebee would have died, that takes the strength of a true leader to do." Blackwolf attempted to cheer the Prime up, but he knew there was no stopping the decision Optimus had made.
"Team Prime won't go leaderless however, in my absence, there shall be a temporary in command." he looked to his fellow Prime who looked confused now.
"Who will be temporary in command while you're gone?" he asked the older Prime, who looked at him, as if saying, 'I think you know who', his optics widened.
"Blackwolf, you've shown me many times that you have the courage of a true leader. You look out for our family, and you would stop at nothing to keep them safe. During the battle for Earth, you lead the Autobots' on the front lines, and fearlessly stood against the Decepticons, you almost gave your life to save Arcee, when we thought you were a danger to Team Prime, and I watched as you faced Galvatron, and bested him. You have the spark of a leader, and while I am away, on Cybertron, you will be in command until I return." Blacwolf was shocked that Optimus trusted him this much to lead Team Prime.
"I'm not worthy...but I'll do it nevertheless, I do think you could use time away from the war to rest, after all, I doubt the cons' or MECH are gonna try anything soon." he stood and bowed to the wise Prime, who placed his servo upon his shoulder, and looked him in the optics.
"Lead them well, I don't know when I shall return, but until then, I'm entrusting you as the leader of our family, defend them well." he activated his jet pack and flew high, and opened his communicator.
"Ultra Magnus, I'm awaiting the spacebridge." minutes later, the large green vortex opened, giving him access to Cybertron. He flew inside, and almost immediately, the spacebridge closed behind him, leaving Blackwolf in silence, until he turned to the elevator shaft to enter the base.
The door of the elevator opened, he stepped out, and his head was nearly taken off by a lob ball, missing him my inches, it flew into Smokescreen, who was not prepared for it, sending him back and against a machine Ratchet was using, crushing it. The medic was shocked, as he looked to see that his machine wasn't working, he looked to them, and his faceplate showed only one expression, anger.
"Grimlock and Bulkhead, I NEEDED THAT!" he yelled, both of them quickly turned and ran down the hall, avoiding Ratchet's wrath. Blackwolf however didn't laugh at the medic's struggle, he only walked to the front of the command center, and the look he gave the crowd of Autobots and humans told them that they needed to listen. They all gave him their attention, and he prepared to give them the news.
"Team Prime...Optimus has left me in command, and has left to go to Cybertron, I don't know when he'll return." he stopped a moment to let them all take the information in before continuing.
"Until then, I'm temporary in command, continue what you were all doing, dismissed." he ordered, after a few minutes, they all dispatched, but the mood was now gloomy, the team was discouraged, knowing that their beloved leader had left them, because he thought he was a failure.
Hours had passed, Blackwolf and Nitalia had finished her training for the day, but the young femme looked very discouraged. Arcee was resting in their quarters, for she had worked hard earlier.
"I'm never gonna get it right! Why do you keep pushing me to perform that fragging technique?" she asked frustratedly with her father, who looked surprised at her sudden language.
"Nitalia, language, I raised you better than that, and I only push you because I want you to be safe." She felt a little better, but was still convinced that she couldn't use their advanced defense techniques. Blackwolf, realizing the troubles she was having, placed one of his large servos upon her shoulder.
"I know it's hard learning how to fight, how to defend yourself...but it's all too necessary to learn, the cons won't show mercy to anyone who can't fight." she knew he was right, but she still looked down due to how she still failed her training.
"Hey, I know what'll make you feel a little better, c'mon we're going for a drive." he smiled and walked to the large entrance, she was confused, but still followed in tow behind him. They drove out of the large door, letting it close behind them.
She didn't know where he was leading her, but she trusted her father and kept in tow behind him. She eventually melted into the drive, enjoying the breeze flowing off her smooth, metal polymer chassis. But suddenly, returning her to reality, Blackwolf came to a stop, and slowly veered to the right, she mimicked his turn and followed behind him.
He transformed and stretched his mechanical limbs, she changed forms and walked behind him. She noticed how the sun was getting low, she didn't realize how late it was, he stopped at a clearing of trees, and stopped at a cliff overlooking the canyon. She admired the view, but then he pointed to the sun.
"This is what I brought you here to see." he grinned, she looked to see the setting sun, the vibrant rays of orange, the soothing streaks of red, blue and purple. She stared at it in aw, it was truly magnificent.
"Wow..." she was lost for words, she had never seen such a sunset, she admired the beauty of it, but suddenly Blackwolf's grin changed to a serious expression when his comm link opened.
"Blackwolf here, wha-" he was interrupted when-
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK! W-WE NEED HEL-AHHH!" Bulkhead's voice came over the link, and cut off, and all that was heard, was static.
"Bulkhead? Bulkhead?!" he received no response, he looked to Nitalia, who looked shocked at what they had just heard.
"Come on Nitalia!" he changed into his helicopter alt mode, allowing her to grab the bars on the bottom sides, and flew towards the base.
So how was that so far, hope you enjoyed, hope you guys enjoy the rest of the story.
