Captured Spark

Hello

So recently I've been watching Transformers Prime with my sister who's never seen it,(I know right, crazy!) and this idea just popped into my head. It wouldn't leave until I wrote it out and I decided to post it for fun.

SeaFare grabbed her friends servo and pulled her through the bustling crowd of Cybertronians who cheered and sent roaring messages to the mechs fighting below. StoneBlaze was her friends name and she was of the Higher Cast, never once seeing a fight before in the pits of Kaon, but always wishing to once.

SeaFare sat down in a large gap and StoneBlaze followed, slightly turned off by the others who took up much of the already cramped space.

"Come ON! Beat the EVER living SCRAP out of him!" SeaFare shouted, leaning over the edge of the arena. The crowd erupted into a audio receptor piercing roar as one of the gladiators below won the fight with the swipe of his sword. He raised his arms in victory and the roaring grew louder, enough to make StoneBlaze cover her audio receptors and clench her optics shut. "Come one, Blaze, you're missin' it! They're bringing out another." She popped open an optic and sighed. She had wanted to come here, and for all it was worth, she might as well enjoy it. Standing up, she joined her friend and watched as one of Cybertrons most feared vermin came out from behind the raised cage.

"So, who's the one who just won?" SeaFare looked to her friend bewildered and then laughed.

"The one that just came out is what we here call an Insecticon. He's the champion though," She pointed out the other in the arena. "He goes by the name of, Megatronus. . Named himself after one of the thirteen primes."

"Ya, I kinda go-"

"KILL IT!" SeaFare shouted, leaning even more over the edge and StoneBlaze held onto her so that she didn't fall over. "WHOO YA!" Her voice was lost among the others as Megatronus shot the Insecticon and sent it smashing into the wall opposite of him. The vermin twitched before its optics faded away. Megatonus turned around, his optics scanning the crowd as he did so, watching to see whom his loyal followers of the gladiatorial pits were. As he did, his optics stopped upon StoneBlaze and they locked gazes for mere seconds before his back turned against her.

The crowds roar died down and soon he began to speak. "Fellow brothers and sisters of Cybertron!" The two femme's sat in their seats. "I have won again this day, a sign that I fight for not only myself but for all of you!" The cheering came back and then faded out again. "I will always fight for us, until the day I see fit that my reign shall be no more." The crowd went silently still. "But that day shall never come! For I, Megatronus, will never stop fighting until the day my spark itself dies!"

"Megatronus! Megatronus! Megatronus!" The crowed yelled in unison, their voices melding together as if they were meant to be one, all calling out to him, adoring him, waiting for him to come back once again. He stepped away from the bodies of his assailants and disappeared through one of the gates, a metal wall falling down upon it as he faded into the darkness.

"Let's go!" SeaFare said, grabbing her friends servo once again.

"But we just got here, Fare. Don't you wanna watch the other fights?"

"Nah, they're not as good as, Megatronus's fights. Come on!" Tugging her alone, SeaFare guided them through the crowd once more until they were out and back onto the less crowded foyer of the gladiatorial pit. SeaFare led them down a hallway that seemed not to familiar than the one they had travelled to get inside the arena. StoneBlaze chewed her bottom lip as she watched the corridor get darker as the deeper they got. Lights flickered above them and she stuck close to her friend.

"Where are we going, Fare?" She asked, slightly jumping as something sparked beside her.

"A friend of a friend mi-ight of gotten me some back passes to the gladiator rooms."

"How?" SeaFare hummed as an answer and StoneBlaze dared not to ask more, knowing she wouldn't like the worded answer. More sparks popped and StoneBlaze moved to the other side of her friend. "Fare, are we almost there?"

"Hey hey, someone made a rhyme."

"I'm serious, SeaFare."

"Ok, yes, almost." They stopped before a closed door and SeaFare almost jumped out of her exterior from excitement. She went to knock, but stopped when they heard two voices conversing on the other side.

"What do you mean, you can't pay me!?" Megtronus yelled, his voice booming through the door and down the hall. "We had a tight deal that if I fight and if I win, you will give me enough to sustain me!"

"I know, I know. Calm your fusion cannon down, Megatron."

"It. Is. Megatronus to you."

"Alright, Megatronus. . . Look, the system really hasn't been kind to us lately and I've been cut back on my selling, not much as been coming in since the new law."

"What new law!?"

"The-the one that prohibits Lower Cast cybertronians to sell to Upper Cast unless they come here."

"But Upper Cast's do not come here."

"Exactly." The two heard a fist punching into a wall and they jumped back. "I-I'm sorry, Megatronus, but I simply can't change the law."

"Get. Out."

"Hey, StoneBlaze, wasn't your sire one of the members who signed that law?" StoneBlaze looked from side to side, as if she was to get killed for the wrong answer. Before she could answer, the door slid open and a mech about their size came walking out. He scooted past them with a few words and then carried on as if they weren't there. Megatronus had his back to them, but soon turned and faced the two, his expression both of anger and sadness.

"How long have you two been standing there?" He asked, stepping closer.

SeaFare went to answer, but Blaze kicked her in the pede knowing what she would say and answered herself. "Not too long. We recently arrived." SeaFare nodded in agreeance. "My friend here only wished to meet you in person, and not from the stands of the arena."

"I see, an admirer I presume."

"Ver much so, Megatronus. . I've come to most of your fights and have cheered for no one else." He raised a brow at her words and turned his helm to StoneBlaze.

"And you? You do not seem as the type to come to the arena, here in Kaon."

"In truth, this is my first fight, and have not heard too much about them as my sire likes to keep me more than sheltered."

"Whom is your sire?" He asked, leaning closer and she stepped back.

"Of whom one of my creators are is none of your concern now or ever."

"StoneBlaze?" SeaFare stated a bit offended and fearful to which Megatronus held up a servo.

"You have courage to speak to me that way, I admire courage."

"It is better to be courages than brave and foolish."

"Wise words coming from a femme of your stature."

"My stature?" She asked with her own raised optic ridge.

"Yes, no femme looks as beautiful as you do and comes from the likes of Kaon." She looked to the ground and shifted her pede, pushing back a blushed smile at his words. SeaFare nudged her and giggled silently. Megatronus stood up to his full height with a smile. "Tell me, how did you two get down here without being apprehended."

"My brother personally knows one of the gladiators here, he got us down here without a hassle." SeaFare said and StoneBlaze looked to her.

"Don't tell me that sparking was the guards."

"He said he'd do what he could. I didn't know what it would entail."

"What my sire would do if I found out I even came here." Blaze facepalmed and sighed.

Megatronus stepped out in front of the girls. "Then it is best we get you home."

"We?" Blaze asked, looking to SeaFare and then him.

"The nightly streets of, Kaon are no place for femme's. I will personally see to your safety."

"But I live far off."

"Then we best get going, no?"

As SeaFare lived in the Middle Cast, her home wasn't too fare off from Kaon, just enough so that where she lived was safe from its destructive ways. Blaze said her goodbye's to her friend and then found herself walking alone with Megatronus, the two heading to where she lived. They kept up small conversations, but StoneBlaze couldn't hide the fact that she felt uncomfortable around the mech, even if he seemed safer in public than in the arena. She kept a small distance between them, and thankfully she knew that the mech had gotten her message as he stayed his place.

"If I am to escort you, I find it best that I know where I am going."

"It's near, Iacon. Just outside actually."

"In one of the many villa's I presume."

"Yes." She said hushed.

He sensed her uneasiness and spoke up. "If it makes you feel better. ."

"StoneBlaze."

"A beautiful name that fist you well, StoneBlaze." She pushed back another blushed smile. "Though if it makes you feel better, I will escort you just outside of Iacon."

"Thank you." Her voice was still inaudible to most, but he heard it enough to break a smile. "It's not that I think you're bad or anything, but. . My sire is one who's tried to keep me safe for all my life. If he even heard one bit that I left the realms of Iacon, he'd detain me for life."

"He sounds. . . Overbearing."

She huffed a laugh and looked at Megatronus, then the ground. "That's not even the half of it. . But I don't want to trouble you with any of my minute worries, it seems that you have enough going on back in Kaon to last you a lifetime."

"Sadly that is the case." She stopped as did he. Megatronus looked forwards and saw that a large house rested before him, larger than he could ever imagine. In fact, it seemed that it could fit all of Kaon inside of it. He turned to face StoneBlaze and she did the same. Not allowing the stillness of silence to burry them, he spoke up. "Shall I see you again?"

"I cannot give you any reassurance on if you will. . But maybe."

"I'll take that as a yes."

"But I-"

"What one says is not always what another one hears."

"Nor means." He smirked and she let her smile finally come into play. "Thank you for taking me home safely, Megatronus. I am indebted to you."

"Please, StoneBlaze, you owe me nothing."

"You must want something."

"Only to see you again once more."

"I will try." He kissed her hand and smiled.

"As Cybertornians, trying is the best we can do. . I will only hope that you try your best." Her hand slipped out of his and she unlocked the gate.

"That I will." Shutting it behind her, she walked off and then stopped mid-way to the house, watching as the mech transformed and shot off back to Kaon. Sighing happily, she entered the house and made her way to her room. Before lying on her berth, she smelled something almost rotten. Walking out the smell was still there, it wasn't until later that she realized it was her whom carried the disgusting odor. Vying on the side of taking a shower, she headed to the cleansing room, the last thing she needed was her sire finding out just where she had been.

Stepping out, she dried off and went back out into the hall. Ramming into another as she did so. Stumbling back, a servo caught her before she could fall onto her tailpipe. "Wouldn't want you messing up that pretty exterior." She looked up and slid her servo out of the mechs servo.

"SharpShoot. What are you doing here?" She asked, surprised by his appearance.

"Your father summoned me here."

"This late?"

"He said he had important things to talk about." The mech smiled at her and she back away. Most who knew the two, knew that he more than enough found interest in her while she didn't find much to admire about him. His perceiving about himself was narcissistic and unruly, but to those of the High Cast, it was overlooked for how he looked and acted in public. "If I may, I don't want to keep your sire waiting."

"Please, be my guest." She moved out of the way and watched as he disappeared around a corner. What the two were going to talk about was none of her business, and quite frankly, she didn't care to know. Though she couldn't drop the feeling that it was something pertaining to her life. She shrugged and walked off, if it was, then she would come to know of it soon enough.

Yay! Chapter One! I hope you guys liked it, I found it quite fun to write, though I say that about most of the stories. Eh, oh well. Thanks for reading, and don't forget to leave a review to tell me what you think ;D. SofC out!
