TRANSFORMERS

Time of the Twins

Writers Comments:

This story is based off my main Transformers RPG. All characters aside from those created by me are property of their orrginal creators etc.

I do NOT own the Transformers, I just enjoy watching it, reading it, an role playing it.

Chapter 1: Life

"War is hell; it doesn't matter who's side your on. All that matters is who wins and who looses. I supose thats why I did what I felt I had to do. I only hope that they can one day forgive me for throwing their lives in amidst a war that they should have never had to of had a part in." The old woman would speak softly, slightly leaning forward to better gaze at the holo's that flickered on an showed random bits of imagery from the war that had raged for what seemed like eternity between the Autobots and the Decepticons, however after a moment the images stopped on a pair of twin girls locked in the midist of battle...

After a moment, she began to speak once more.

Cybertron was not a place where one would have expected to have found organic life when the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons began, but then again no one expected to find the last remiant of a long thought extinct race hiding amongst the machines either. Tarrot considered herself a neutral party when asked who's side she was on, she cared neither to be called one or . She was not a large woman, in fact she only stood around five foot an perhaps one hundred and twenty five pounds, but like many of her race she poessed special gifts. Gifts which made her race desirable and unique to many of the would be rulers of the universe had hunted her kind to extinction. Time was growing short for her, an she could feel the internal changes that told her that soon new life would come to this world.

The Quintessons had been gone for some time now, driven away by their own creations. Tarrot moved across the bridge that lead between the dual laboratories, one hand resting on her abdomen, though it seemed that the original masters where not what the Decepticons and the Autobots needed to fear, but rather they needed to fear each other; only because they would be their own destruction. Pausing half way across the bridge she would turn an gaze out over the city for a moment. Below life continued as normal, it seemed almost peaceful. A sharp pain drew her attention back to herself, time was running out. Turning she would hasten her pace an make her way into the secondary lab an glance around for a moment before moving to a empty computer terminal. Taking in a deep breath, her body altered, shifting in size an density until she herself resembled one of the robots which not inhabited this world freely. Her hands would slide across the keys, entering her password an she would enter a message, coding it she would send it out.. Now all she had to do was wait. Turning she would walk over to an empty exam table an take a seat on it before shifting back down her hand again going to her abdomen, she could feel movement beneath her own skin. She hoped only that they would hurray...

It didn't take long however before the first of the transformers she had messaged would arrive, accompanied by a slender humanoid figure wearing a stabilizer suit, which hid his features. Unlike her, he could not survive without some sort of atmosphere, and at this point an time, Cybertron was just not stable enough to support organic life on its own. Optimus Prime watched her for a moment before he spoke "I received your message Tarrot an came as soon as I could, are you alright?" She offered him a smile of reassurance as Doc moved to examine her an prepare her for what was to come. "Yes I'm fine, or least I will be.. Its almost time. Has.." she clenched her jaw, her words cut off before her question could be asked. Prime frowned and moved to her side to be near his friend in this great time of need.

Time seemed to creep buy, and Prime found himself deep in worry for his friend, however a more imminent threat would soon arrive, as one of his beloved autobots whom had been on guard outside the doors, found himself flung threw them an landed in a heap against the far wall. All optic sensors shifted toward the open doorway, as Megatron stepped forward, his optics flashed slightly a sadistic smirk touching his sculpted mouth plates. " Well well if it isn't Optimus Prime" his deep vocalizations where a bit scratchy from past damage that had been irreparable without fully replacing his vocalizer. The older transformer would walk forward toward the gathered group, an Prime would step forward, before he could say anything Tarrots cry halted him, "Let him be Argh! I.. I asked him here..." Prime frowned, but would step back from Megatrons path. Megatron smirked an considered commenting on how a fleash creature could make such orders, but for the moment he held his vocalizer an moved to the opposite side of the creature.

It was as though the life she was to bring forth had senced when Megatron had entered, with both he an Prime present her labor started in full, an less then a parsec she had given birth to a pair of twin girls. Prime seemed almost in awe at such an event, fascinated by the new tiny lives, while Megatron stood back, observing with a slight scowl. Doc cleaned up both girls and frowned as he wraped them in dual soft cloths an handed them to their mother. "I asked you both here.. for a reason. One I hope you will both consider.. Despite it all I can not, nor will I ask that because of this day your war end. It would be foolish." Shifting her weight slightly she would sit up, Doc would move around an lift the back of the table to help suport her. "Instead, I asked you here because they will need you."

Megatron frowned "They?". His optics gained a slight thoughtful look to them that onlys erved to deepen their red hued color. " Yes Megatron, they, as in my daughters whom I just brought into this world."
Prime inclined his head a bit " Tarrot I don't understand?" She sighed a bit, "My daughters will fulfill their destiny's with the two of you... Each bare.." Megatron snorted " If you think for a moment that I am going to take care of a pathetic flesh creat.." He was cut off when his optics settled on something on one of the infants shoulders. A slight darkened mark that resembled the one on his chest plate. "Wha..." Tarrot gazed down at her daughters, an carefully moved the swaddling blankets so that both could see. On the left shoulder close to the collarbone, both infant girls seemed to bare a faint mark, one resembled the autobots, the other, the decepticons. "Shanna.. She shall go with you Prime... Sharra, she shall go with you Megatron..." She would carefully hand off the tiny bundels to the large machines. "Raise them so that they know love, loyalty, and honor. And when the time is right, they will be the key to end this war once and for all." She would lay back an take in a slow shuddering breath. " I can not take care of them myself, My time, is up an soon I will join my people." Megatron said nothing only stared down at the tiny pathetic mewling creature which rested in his palm, he could have easily crushed her like a bug, but something stayed his hand. He said nothing, an simply walked out of the room, taking flight the moment he was clear of the doorway to return to his own headquarters in the city state of Tarn.

Prime watched Tarrot for a moment, his head tilting slightly. "Are you sure you have done the right thing?" He would ask, more because he doubted himself then her choice. "Yes Prime, I am sure. Leave me now... Please take care of her.." Prime would nod an turn leaving the room with the infant carefuly cradeled in his hand.

Doc would glance to Tarrot for a moment " we need to get going now" she would say weakly an carefully rise. He would nod, an help her to leave the lab..

"That was the last day I held my daughters, but not the last day that I would see them. It has taken great pains for me to stay from their lives and not interfere.. but those chapters in their life's story will come soon enough..." The old woman would smile a bit an lean back in her chair, the hologram flickering before her of the twin girls she spoke of.
