Fire and Ice

Steam left the pods as the latch came un-done. Optimus felt his spark lift at the sight of his two daughters. "Sunlight." His oldest. She was a bright golden femmen with side head fins. Her optics were dark but when she was awake they were a bright sky blue. The red mecks gaze drifted to his second daughter. "Skychaser." His little girl. She was a dark blue with auteo horns. Her optics were deep ocean blue. Ratchet patted Optimus's shoulder. "Lets lay them down." Optimus nodded and gently picked up Skychaser. His little girl. Sunlight was also his little girl. But Skychaser was mainly his little one. He had a bigger bond with the dark blue sister. Sunlight was closer to her mother then Optimus. So he wasn't surprised when she was the first out of the sisters to say she wanted to join the war. Ratchet laid Sunlight down and Optimus laid Skychaser down next to her sister. "They should be fully functional by later then three days." Optimus nodded and looked at the medic. "Thank you Ratchet. I couldn't do this with out you." The medic nodded. "Every one thinks you unstoppable." The white Autobot smiled. "But everyone needs a hand now and then. Even you." Optimus nodded and looked at the sisters. He remembered that night when they lost their mother. Skychaser just sat. Hugging Prime close. Sunlight was crying up in her dorm. She didn't come out for days until Skychaser finally was able to get her out of her room. Optimus felt his tanks turn when he remembered what the golden sister looked like coming down thoughts steps. Her optics that used to shine with pride were dull and seamed life less. Her paint was worn and faded. She just looked at the ground. Then she came home one day and said she was tiered of not fighting back. "Optimus?" The red meck looked at Ratchet to see he was frowning. "Just... Thinking is all Ratchet." The medic nodded. "Go get some energon. Some rest." Optimus looked back up at the medic. "That is an order. I will call you if anything happiness." Optimus nodded and turned to leave. "Daddy?"The red meck turned back around to see the dim ocean blue optics of Skychaser. Optimus crouched down next to the head of the berth and gently ran his thumb along her forehead. "Shhhh. Its going to be all right, little one." The dark blue sister smiled tiredly then drifted back into recharge. Optimus stayed crouched down for a few more seconds then stood back and Skychaser had pulled each other into a tight embrace. "You have another." Optimus looked at Ratchet. "You have a youngest daughter. Moonlight. Where is she?" "She is training at the academie." Optimus replied, looking back down at the two sisters. "Off of Megatrons grid."
