12 Years Later…
~*~ Rose's POV ~*~
I patched up another mech. He would be on medical rest for a while.
I had gotten better at being a field medic, but as well a soldier…
That was hard on me for a while…
But I had to be able to fight in case I'm ever attacked again.
Magnus had Sentinel locked away after what happened with little Blueflame…
I haven't thought about her since all those years ago…
Wonder how she's fairing in this horrible war…
"Go on now. I have work to finish." I shoo the mech out.
We had to clean up the medical bay for tomorrow's round of wounded soldiers…
I sighed and walked to my little room. Collapsing on my bed, all I could think about was what tomorrow would bright.
"I'm exhausted…"
I closed my eyes and curled up on my pillow.
I could only hear the bombs around me…
My feet hitting the ground as I ran…
Where was I? I don't know this place!
I ran until I fell on rubble from a destroyed building.
I slowly lifted myself up, only to come face to face with a femme… Only…
She wasn't alive any more…
I fell back, in horror.
She was half buried in the rubble, energon pouring from her wounds…
Her graying form still fading… I met her eyes, and I felt like I was looking in a mirror…
She looked like me…
I jumped up and panted.
My spark was pulsing madly, making me feel like I was going to puke.
I had walked into the bathroom and stood over my sink. I splashed water in my face, hoping to wake myself up from the nightmare I had just seen.
It was just a dream… Right?
I reported for duty the next morning. I couldn't let last night keep me from working. I was running into the line again. We got a call saying there was a mech lost over the enemy line and was in need of serious medical help. I was going to take care of him and bring him home.
I packed up my medical kits and med up with the rescue team. I took a deep breath and we all ran into the battle field…
I dropped down as it started raining bullets. I pulled out my pistol and fired up at the seekers above. I hated "Shoot-the-Grounders" game the seekers made. I was stupid.
"I see him! Cover me!" I shouted.
I ran straight to the mech that was on the ground. He had fired a flare and was trying to fire at the Decepticons heading straight for him.
I skid to the mech and pulled him to cover.
"Alright, relax mech…" I forced a smile.
"You're covered now." I started working as fast as my finger would allow me to.
"Rose! Work faster! We got the Elites coming our way!" I hear someone on my team shout.
"Scrap." I dragged the wounded mech deeper into cover, even pulled out my pistol ready to use it if needed.
I had his side open, trying to fix the gapping wound pouring energon. He gasped as I patched the line.
"Easy." I say as he jolted.
"Behind you!" He shouted.
I twisted the pistol right into the face of a femme seeker…
Why does she look so familiar?
~*~ Blueflame's POV~*~
I giggled as Starscream falls on his aft.
"Face it Screamer, I'm a better fighter and a better seeker than you." I gloated.
He only grumbles as he halls himself back up.
"I fondly remember the days when I could make you cry during our training." He hissed.
I crack my neck before leaving the room.
Better not make the SIC angry or he would go ramble to my father and it would not end well for me…
Probably another whipping or some sort of other painful punishment…
I sighed.
The life of a Decepticon was hard to say the least. But it was worth it.
I proudly bore my Decepticon symbols. Anything to make my father proud and hopefully make my mother smile while she rested in the Well of Sparks.
I sigh once more as I walk down the hall to my room.
'Why did she have to die?' I think as I open my door.
Daddy went crazy when she died, but he got better again when he was raising me.
When I was taken from him all those years ago, he snapped.
Even when I came home to him, he just… Never got better.
The next morning I was woken up by a call to work. I was briefed over my mission.
I was to capture an Autobot in our territory, keep him call for help until back up from the Autobots came, then kill him.
Sounds simple enough.
"Do not fail me Blueflame…" My father says warningly.
"I won't my lord…" I say hesitantly.
"Get going before I have Knockout take you for… Encouragement…" He says.
I quickly ran our and took a deep breath, 'Another day as a Decepticon.' I think as I ran down the winding halls.
As soon as I had exited the base I take off. I loved flying.
The wind rushing over my wings felt like heaven…
"Focus!" I tell myself.
As I near my coordinates I notice Autobots had already arrived. I fired at the Autobots as I tried to get close to the mech.
I scowl as I land a few feet away from my target. I pulled out my cannon and slowly snuck up to the mech and femme.
"Give him to me." I ordered holding the cannon to her face.
"No one else will get hurt." I power up the cannon and glared at her.
~*~ Third Person ~*~
"He's dying." The medic says to the seeker.
"If I give him up he won't live to make it to where ever your base it. Giving him up would be pointless. I hissed back.
"Let me treat him. Send him back to our base. Please he will die!" The medic pleaded.
The seeker only chuckled. "That's the point dumbass!"
She shoves the medic down and fires her cannon at her arm with the pistol.
"Stay down!" She ordered kicking her away from the dying mech.
The medic cried out in pain, she looked at her wound. It was burning and bleeding heavily.
"Leave her alone-"
"Oh shut up…" The seeker kicked the down mech across the face.
"Rose? Can ya heat me? What's your stasis?" She hears her comrades calling her over the com-link.
The young seeker femme walked up to the mech and grabbed him up.
"Take me! Take me instead!" She tried to save the mech.
"You're not worth anything. My Lord wants this mech dead… So he must die!" She raised her cannon to the mech's head and fired.
"I'm sorry it had to be that way…" The seeker hissed as she dropped the body and stepped around it.
She only looked away from the damage she had done.
The medic could only close her eyes as the mech was killed right in front her.
"He didn't have to die… He was just a soldier doing as he was told… Following orders like you and me." She said.
"So am I…" The seeker said.
"A soldier following the orders of a wicked mech! Megatron will only lead you into more darkness!" The medic hissed at the younger mech.
In rage, the seeker grabbed the medic's neck and raised her up from the ground.
"My father is not a wicked mech!" She roared in the other's face.
She then punched the older femme in her rage.
The medic grunted after getting punched. 'Father?' She thinks in confusion.
'No, it couldn't be… Flame?' The medic sits up and looks at the seeker, who was still looking at the medic with rage.
All the medic could think of was the femling that she saved all those years ago. How now she was standing before her with a cannon in her face ready to kill her.
She had grown beautifully, but the was had given her many scars
What happened to the young child she once knew?
"Any last words you Glitch?" Blueflame grabbed her again and lifted her up by her neck, ready to kill her.
"I'm… Sorry… I'm not… Who you hoped… I was…" She strained to say to the younger femme.
Only the real Blueflame would know why the medic would say that… Right?
Blueflame did understand… Right away.
"What?" She looked at the red medic more.
"Rose?" She whispered, almost letting the femme go.
It was the same femme who had saved her from Sentinel Prime's hands.
The very one who she thought was her…
She shakes her head and raises her off the ground again.
"No room for weakness…" She growled.
"Stop… Flame… This is… Not you!" Rose gasped in pain.
"War changes us all… I'm sorry this ends the way it does…" She raised her claws and readied for the last blow.
"So… Am… I…" Rose says weakly.
"What?"
Right at that moment, Ironhide whacks Blueflame's head and threw her into a wall.
Rose was dropped and left gasping for air.
"Breathe rookie, You alright?" Hide rested his hand on her back.
She coughed rougly and nodded.
"Let's get ya home, and looks like we got ourselves a little friend to bring along." He sighs looking the seeker who was now starting to get up again.
He aims his cannon at her head and growls.
She raised her own cannon, that was 3x's smaller than his.
"I will take you down!" She roared at him.
"Heh, you're funny kid." He whacks the crumbling wall to his right.
To both the femme's surprise, there were other Autobots, weapons aimed at the youngling, ready to fire when the other was given.
"Starscream called a retreat, guess he forgot to do a head count. You're all that's left in the area." Ironhide smirked.
She growled and cursed Starscream's name.
"Come quietly, make it easier for yourself kid." Ironhide tells her.
"Flame… Please…" Rose found herself begging the youngling.
"No! I will fight all of you until my spark does offline!" She shouted at all of them. She powered up her cannon and prepared to fight to the death.
She suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Enough. It's over Blueflame."
She looked up, only to see Optimus Prime, grown and now the leader of the Autobot army.
He looked at her, his eyes were filled with sorrow looking down at her.
"Oh my friend… What happened to you?" He whispered.
She hissed at him and rips his hand away from her shoulder.
"I will fight even you until my last breath for the sake of my father!" She cried out.
He grabbed her arm and holds it firmly.
"I said enough! What would your mother think of your father doing this to you?" He roared at her.
"Don't you dare bring her into this! Your kind killed her!" She roared back at him.
"And you think a gentle spark like your mother would want you killing? Your father becoming a monster?" He shouted more.
She looked ready to scream at him again, but Rose could see the tears brimming in her eyes.
"Shut up! Just shut up!" She started hitting his chest with her free hand.
"Let me go! You bots are horrible! I will kill all of you if it's the last thing I do!" She roared.
Optimus glared at her with hard eyes, almost like he made a horrible choice.
He rips her cannon away from her hold.
"Ironhide, take all her weapons… And then have her locked in the brig." Optimus ordered.
"Rose, report to medical bay…" He looked to the older femme.
"Don't fucking touch me you filthy autoscum!" She screamed.
She struggled against Ironhide's hold as he roughly starts to rip away weapons.
"Help!" Blueflame shouted.
"You're hurting me!" She screamed.
Rose tried to reach out to help the young femme, but Optimus stops her.
"Sir! He's hurting her!"
"If she wants to be the enemy, then she will be treated as such…" He said gravely.
He didn't like it either, but even a young Prime can do so much.
Rose struggled, listening to the younger femme scream.
Iornhide was less than kind, he eventually started ripping off armor to make sure she wasn't hiding any more weapons, causing the femme to bleed all over her arms and legs.
"Ironhide enough damn it!" Rose shoved the older warrior away from the screaming youngling.
"Rose-" He growled.
"Don't. You. Dare!" She hissed with venom dripping down in her voice.
"She's had enough! We're suppose to be better than them! And look how you make us look!" She roared pointing at the wounded seeker.
She had curled up into a ball, trying desperately to cover herself from further attacks and trying to keep what little dignity she had left.
Tears thick as they dripped down her cheeks and on to the soiled ground.
"Who are we if we act as the enemy?!" She roared.
Ironhide winced as her voice grew louder.
She knelt down to the seeker and tried to calm her.
"Shhh, it's okay now… I won't let anyone touch you again…" She cooed.
Blueflame tried to move away.
"I don't need you…" She cried heavily.
Rose reached out to her again and held her close in her arms. "It's okay…" She cooed.
"I know you're angry, and that is your right. But please… Let me be here for you… Where your mother cannot…" She tried to reason with youngling.
At first Blueflame tried to fight her, but she grew weak and collapsed in the older femme's hold.
"It hurts… Please make it stop…" She sobbed heavily.
"I know… And I am so sorry…" Rose cooed softly offer all the comfort she could.
"Let me fix you up Flame… I won't let anyone touch you, not even Prime." Rose promised the seeker.
The seeker sniffled and looked to red medic, who was making all these promises she surely would not keep… Could she?
"Okay…" She found herself saying.
Rose helped the weak femme to her feet, she pulled her arm around her neck and helped her toward the Autobot base for medical treatment.
"Rose-" Optimus started.
Rose turned and violently hissed at him, her eyes dark blue with anger and disappointment. He quickly backed away, knowing better than to test her anger.
Rose was not happy with any of them… And she would not forgive any time soon…
Okay, so this chapter is up!
