Ironhide was sat outisde of Elita and Prime's quaters cleaning his cannons, Chromia walked over to him and sat down next to him. Some of the soldiers walked down the corridor and smiled at them before exiting out to the airfield, it wasn't unusual for Chromia and Ironhide to be in the corridor as their quarters were next to Elita and Optimus'. She placed her hand on top of his, he looked at her and smiled

"When they come out we will have to support them more than ever Mia" he pulled her over onto his lap and stroked her back, she relaxed in his grip and held his other hand

"I know, I just wonder what ever happened to poor Marina she was such a pretty little thing" he picked her up and then walked back to their quarters

Marina was sat with Depth Charge and Airblade waiting for their new leader to arrive, Megatron they were to become Decepticons and help in the fight against the Autobots

Marina's POV

I could've killed all of the Cons who were in the room with me, who did they think they were staring at me as if I was a prize to be one, newsflash I'm not and anyone who tried would soon regret it. Airblade told me before our ship landed that we were going to join the Decepticons to help in the war against the Autobots, how was I meant to fight them I was originally an Autobot my parents were Autobots.

Depth Charge put his hand on my shoulder and smiled at me, I smiled back at him and took his hand off of my shoulder. If we were to join the Cons then Depth Charge and Airblade would be fantastic because they were Terracons and possessed incredible speed pure horror if you weren't there friends. Airblade was standing behind him arms folded completely expressionless, miserable fragger we were about to sign our lives to the Cons and he was expressionless.

The door slid open and Depth Charge wrapped an arm around me to try and keep me hidden from Megatron, he looked over at me and smiled before turning to Airblade. He walked forward and greeted Airblade before turning to Depth Charge, Airblade nodded at him slowly he removed his arm from around me and moved to my side so that Megatron could see me. His red optics felt like they were reading my CPU, it also felt like they were piercing my spark, he smiled at me.

"Welcome to the Decepticons your name would be?" Shit his voice was evil

"My name is Marina" I turned to the Cons who were staring at me, he looked at them

"Don't you have work to be getting on with?" he snarled at them, the only mechs I've ever heard snarl were Airblade and Depth Charge only when they were really pissed off though. He turned back to me and held out his hand for me to take it, for some Pit-forsaken reason I took it and he led me down the corridor. Depth Charge wouldn't stay more than 2 feet away from me, I could see that he did not trust Megatron and Airblade was walking silently next to him his face was still bloody expresionless.

Megatron was droning on about some frag or another, honestly I couldn't give a fuck what he was talking about all I wanted was my spark ache to stop and for my spark day to be over. We stopped and he showed Airblade and Depth Charge their quarters before walking with me down another corridor. We stopped ourside of a room and he said to me that it was my quarters and it was on a safe corridor where none of the mechs could get to me without him knowing, he then walked off down the corridor where he stopped outside another door and walked in I walked in mine and locked the door.

It was a dull room with a recharge berth a few shelves and 2 windows, there was a side room which contained a wash rack. You don't usually get a wash rack unless you're a high rank but Megatron said something about me being a femme and that it would be fine for me to have my own wash rack. I walked over to the window and looked out, the view was red sand miles and miles of it, dust flying everywhere I made a guess that we were not on Earth but probably a planet nearby.

I sat on the berth, it was bloody huge the Con mechs must be huge. My spark was still aching and I really wasn't going to tell anyone I never had and it wasn't going to change. There was a thermal blanket on the berth aswell as a few spares on a shelf, I layed down and put it under my head usually the pain from my spark helped me sleep, but for once it wasn't. I stared up at the ceiling and put my hand above my spark, a new life, I would soon be a killer no longer a neutral but a Decepticon one of those purple logos, everything my parents tried to protect me from.

I got up from the berth and grabbed a spare blanket before laying back down on my side, I wrapped it around me and closed my optics. Everytime I fall into recharge I see them, my father's red and blue colours my mother's pink and white, sometimes when I had been upset I would see the Quintesson picking me up from my room and taking me back to the ship my parents lying on the floor. Slowly I let my systems take over and I fell into recharge.

Optimus held Elita close to her and stroked the back of her helm, he kissed her forehead and stroked her back. Prowl had tried to see them earlier but Chromia and Ironhide had chased him off using some very choice words

Elita's POV

Optimus' spark was beating in a regular pattern it helped keep me calm, just being with him helped calm me as much as I missed my daughter he always managed to cheer me up. I tried reaching out to my daughter again but I didn't get a response, he sent me a wave of love through our bond which made me smile.

"Do you think she's still out there Optimus?"

"Of course I do, I can feel her" I smiled at him and pulled myself up equal with his optics and kissed him on the lips before settling back down in his lap

"I hope that she remembers us"

"Of course she will remember us, we are her creators" I purred as he got his hand under my back armour and caressed a few of my back wires. I did the same to him, he groaned and kissed the top of my forehead, I loved him more than anything and even without my daughter my spark still felt whole because of him. Without him my life would be empty, he pulled me forward and we locked optics he lifted his hand up and stroked the side of my helm.

Even though we were upset, the day had been relaxing I had been in his arms the whole day while he made me feel safe. Without him I would've spent the day engulfed in my work like I did back on Cybertron but this year I had him to look after me and I would never change it. I looked up at him, his optics were offline and he was still stroking my back, I raised my hand and put it on the side of his face he looked at me and smiled.

Carefully he picked me up and sat me next to him on the berth, he then got up and walked over to the energon dispensor and filled up two cubes of energon and walked back over to me. I took one from him and he sat next to me, for a while we sat in silence sipping at the energon his spare arm was wrapped around me. I could hear Ironhide and Chromia talking they were obviously guarding our room still, it sounded like they were talking about guns as usuall.

"Don't they ever recharge or refuel" I smiled at his comment

"Yes they recharge but only after fragging and they refuel before that" he laughed at me and kissed the top of my helm. "What it's true, they do" he took my empty cube and placed it on the table with his, he flipped me underneath him and held my arms above my head with one hand and stroked my body with his other hand "We should recharge Optimus"

"Obviously, why don't we do what Ironhide and Chromia usually do. We've already had our energon" a smirk appeared on his faceplates and he leant in closer to me, I purred as he managed to fet one hand under my chest armour and began playing with a few of my wires "This is a nice way of taking your mind off of everything" he began taking my armour off, I struggled in his grip but he just held onto me with his hand.

Ironhide's POV

I was sat with Chromia outside of Prime and Elita's quarters, we were sitting on a few crates it had been a busy day, humans and Autobots alike had tried getting to see them. The best part had been when the twins showed up and refused to leave so Chromia activated her cannons and pointed them at the pain in the afts.

They were grieving over their daughter and needed peace why didn't anyone apart from us seem to get that, today would've been the worst day for them as Marina would've gotten her full armour. Chromia was drifting in and out of recharge, her head was on my chest and I had my arms wrapped around her and I was gently massaging her back, she held one of my hands in hers.

Laughing came from inside of their quarters followed by crashing sound, I looked down out Chromia who was trying to hide her laughter but not doing a very good job at it. I chuckled and smiled down at her, more crashing came from inside, she slipped out of my lap and walked over to the hanger door and pulled it shut locking it to make sure no one would interupt the two of them. I stood up from the crate and took her hand in mine before we walked into our quarters, we could still hear a bit of crashing but honestly I didn't care.

It was late evening and Chromia was sat on our berth unwrapping the thermal blanket, I sat down next to her and unwrapped it for her when I looked back to her she had fallen into recharge and was half on the berth and half off. I put the thermal blanket next to me and carefully I moved her so that she would be more comfortable, I picked the blanket up and layed down next to her before wrapping the blanket around her, I put one arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me.

The crashing in Prime's quarters had stopped and all I could hear was the sound of them talking, slowly I let my recharge systems take over and I shut my optics off. I couldn't help but think about their daughter and what ever happened to her.
