Redemption Of The Spark

Chapter 1: His Little Angel

Optimus Prime left the Autobot base early that morning after leaving orders for the others with Ratchet and headed out for Dinobot Island. Captain Fanzone had told the Autobots that the lab on the island needed cleaning up after the whole incident with the Predacons they had told him about. Optimus had promised he'd go clean it up, as he felt responsible for it. He thought about Blackarachnia as he drove over to the island. Arriving there, he looked for the Dinobots, but they weren't around. They had been really quiet since Prowl had passed on the year before. He knew they missed him. His team still missed their teammate too.

Now, he entered the abandoned lab and began moving boxes, watching carefully for toxic sludge or cyberwebbing, as it had once been Meltdown's lab and Blackarachnia's lab too. He had just moved away some more boxes when he happened to stumble upon one of the computers that was still online. And it had something written on the screen. Curious, he accessed it and found a series of notes by Blackarachnia. Now very curious, he decided to download the data to look at later at base when he suddenly saw one note that caught his interest. He began browsing through it.

It was a description of a series of experiment, one being an experiment of trying to bring an inanimate body of both metal and organic factors to life and a solution to reverse the organic factors and the other was an experiment that involved the process of something called "Gestation." He continued reading the letter and found out that an Autobot was part of this experiment, but the identity was unknown. At the end of the document, he read that the experiment was a failure and the prototype had shown both features of Blackarachnia's techno organic half as well as Cybertronian. She had labeled it a 'freak', like her.

Just then, Prime heard a beeping noise coming from the room he was in and he did a quick search, finding a capsule with a bright red light beeping profusely. Then, the capsule split in half, revealing the prototype to Optimus, which was a tiny, light blue, yellow, red robot with features that are very similar to him and Blackarachnia. However, the helmet that the thing is wearing revealed the face rather than hiding it like the former Decepticon. Just then, the little bot then moved and yawned, and stared up at Optimus with its big blue optics for a few seconds before…it giggled and squealed at him, reaching its arms up to him.

Optimus was extremely puzzled; what was this thing? Curious, he lifted it up and looked it over. He saw that this little thing was somewhat similar to Blackarachnia, but also saw that this robot was hardly like her. It had a much more friendlier, cute look, and that it didn't have red optics. It had blue optics, like him.

Suddenly, the little one sneezed a big web and it splattered Prime's face plate, taking him by surprise, but he cleaned it off. As he did so, the robot started to climb over to his chest, using its spider-like abilities to crawl on his body without falling, and nuzzled against him.

He was startled for one second, but then he looked at it again, and looked rather closely at its behavior. He saw that this thing was acting like a human infant, and in some way, it saw him as a parental unit. But, there was something else he saw in it. A loving smile…a smile that he had once knew…a smile that had once been Elita One's smile before she became Blackarachnia. Seeing the similarities, he couldn't help but feel happy inside as he wrapped his arms around the sparkling, holding the little one close.

All of a sudden, there was a clicking sound, one that alerted Optimus that he wasn't alone here. He quickly got out his battle axe, just as a large, serpentine-like creature with robotic appendages, eyes and organic skin jumped out at him and hissed at him before snarling ferociously at him. Feeling the little one cling to him, Prime held the sparkling protectively and dropped into a battle stance, knowing he had to not only save himself, but the prototype as well.

The creature lunged at him and he dodged it, striking one of its appendages with his axe, making the monster snarl at him and charge again. Quickly falling back on his Academy training, he dodged the attacks and kept striking at the robotic appendages, making the creature very angry.

It wasn't long before he found himself loosing strength as this creature was very strong. He swung his arm and landed a blow on its head to distract it for a bit and quickly activated his jet pack, making sure the prototype was secure in his arms before taking off, flying off the island and returning to the Autobot base.

Bumblebee saw him coming. "Hey, Prime!" he greeted. "What's up?"

Wordlessly, Optimus revealed the prototype to them. The gathered Autobots gasped in surprise when they saw the half-Cybertronian, half organic sparkling.

"Uh, why does that sparkling look like Blackarachnia?" asked Bulkhead worriedly.

"It also looks a bit like an Autobot," said Bumblebee. "But, why is that?"

Even Sari was looking a little worried. "Not to be rude, Optimus, but do you think it's safe to be around this sparkling?" he asked.

Optimus didn't take offense as he knew he team was simply exercising caution and this little one was apparently half-Decepticon. "It's just a sparkling," he said as he watched the little one yawn and gaze at the others wonderingly. Her curious face made Bumblebee smile.

"Well, it's a cute little one, that's for sure," he said.

Prime nodded and saw Ratchet come in. "Ratchet, I found some documents and data at Dinobot Island that were written by Blackarachnia. Could you help me go over them?" he asked.

The medic nodded and Optimus saw the sparkling was reaching for Bumblebee. "Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Sari, would you three watch over this little one for a bit while Ratchet and I look over the data?" he asked.

Although the three were a tad unsure, they nodded. "Sure, Bossbot," said Bulkhead as Bumblebee accepted the little one from his leader and let it crawl up his chest to his face, looking at him curiously. Sari chuckled.

"You're right, Bee," she said. "This little one is cute."

While the three watched over the sparkling, Ratchet entered the data Prime found and gasped. "Extraordinary," he said and motioned Prime to read the data with him.

According to the data, during her stay on Dinobot Island, Blackarachnia had been conducting a series of experiments that could blend both robotic and organic matters together, and maybe find a way to reverse the effects in hopes that it would work for her. The first of her experiments was when she constructed a creature combined with robotic parts and organic properties, and was hoping that after it was brought to life by electricity and that it could undergo a metamorphosis as it is given a raw form of Earth's energy called Wondallion. This type of energy in its raw form could be located in organic layers of dirt and rocks that could quicken the growth and age of a certain being, but was unaffected by robotic beings like Cybertronians, but could affect slightly to techno organics. This experiment was brought to life, but when it was given the energy, it had a negative effect. The prototype became feral and wild and had managed to escape and hide somewhere on the island. "That must have been the thing I encountered and fought, that serpent creature," said Optimus.

The second experiment, they read on, was a rather astonishing one. Blackarachnia typed that as she had been examining her organic half's internal abilities, she had discovered that she had a similar reproductive system of a human female, and could reproduce since Cybertronians were incapable of doing so. So, after she read through human's reproductive systems and heredity, she decided that she was going to give birth to a duplicated half-organic, one that would possibly inherit a pure Cybertronian body, and would use it to transfer its design to her and free herself from her organic half. But, she needed one mech in order to do it.

The notes read onward, documenting that Blackarachnia did find a target, but the name was unknown, but there were clues in the notes. A certain mech that she blamed for her fate. She wrote down that when she subdued the target with her venom, she managed to inject half of her organic data into the target…this would then make the target half organic. Her plan did work on making the target half-organic; the bot in question somehow managed to evolve an appendage below the groin. However, the organic half of the target only lasted for an hour and broke off, but it was enough. After nine months of this gestation period, Blackarachnia finally gave birth, but was angered by the result. The child was not pure Cybertronian, but was a techno organic just like her...and its face was not hideous like her...and it had blue optics. Seeing her efforts were in vain, she placed the baby into a capsule that would put it into suspended animation.

The notes ended there and Optimus was shocked by the news. "The prototype," he whispered to himself. "It's my…biological child."

He was so stunned that he had to sit down, but then watched as Ratchet went over to the other three and gently took the baby from Bumblebee. The little one didn't protest once as he did a quick, discrete scan to determine its gender. "It's a femme," he said in astonishment before looking at Prime. "Prime, what were you doing, or what do you remember before or after these…events written in these notes?"

Optimus tried to remember when that might have happened. "I…I do remember going over to Dinobot Island at one point for a routine check on the Dinobots, but I don't remember a whole lot about it," he admitted.

"Then the target mentioned… that must have been you."

Just then, the little femme in Ratchet's arms began crying and the medic handed her to Optimus, who looked uncertain. "What do I do to calm her down?" he asked as he held her gently and tried to shush her.

"I think she might be hungry," said the medic. "I've got some Energon with me. Let's see if she'll drink from it."

With that, Ratchet took out the cube and held it out for the sparkling, who smelled the Energon and opened her mouth to accept it, drinking heartily. Satisfied to see the little one calmed down, Optimus took the cube from Ratchet and held it as he continued to feed his daughter.

A sudden thought came to him. How would the Elite Guard react if he presented the little one to them? Would they accept her? Would she be destroyed? The Elite Guard was unpredictable, unlike his team.

Looking at his daughter, who was still drinking her Energon, he saw her look up at him with innocent optics filled with love. The love and innocence he saw in her optics made him feel a strong sense of love and fatherly protectiveness of her, despite the fact that she was both his and Blackarachnia's child. He then looked at Ratchet.

"Ratchet, I will be the guardian and father of this child," he stated firmly.

Ratchet was a little surprised and looked uncertain. "Are you sure, Prime?" he asked. "She might have some of her mother's Decepticon personality, even though she's a sparkling."

"But how could a sparkling be a like a Decepticon?" asked Bumblebee. "She probably had no idea what a Decepticon is."

Sari and Bulkhead echoed their agreement with Bumblebee on that one and Optimus nodded his agreement before looking at Ratchet. "She won't, because I'll teach her the ways of good," he said firmly.

"What will you call her?" asked Sari curiously.

At that question, Prime looked at his daughter again, and the perfect name came to his mind.

"Her name will be: Angel."
