"Any sign of the fem?" Optimus asked over the radio to Ironhide's team.
"No not yet, but we are close. I can feel it." Ironhide reported.
"Just find her quick. I don't know how much longer we can hold their attention." Optimus said.
"Right." Ironhide said as he turned off his radio. He then saw a little red sparkling coming out of a building.
"Mister! Miss Chormia is hurt!" The little sparkling yelled.
"Ratchet, I found her! Lead the way little one." Ironhide said as the rest of the team began to follow him.
The sparkling led them inside a busted school building. There laid a blue fem, with a leg missing and was bleeding heavily. Ratchet went to stop the bleeding. "About time you guys showed up. I ran out of bullets." The fem said.
"Don't worry we are here now. You and the sparklings are safe. How many sparklings are there?" Ironhide asked
"There are 6. This one is Hot Rod, the others are hiding." Chormia said while patting Hot Rod on the head.
"What are their names?" Jazz asked.
"Ultra Magnus, Arcee, Blurr, Springer, and Cliffjumper." Chormia said and as she said their names the sparklings popped their heads out of their hiding places.
"Come on out little ones, we are going to get you out of here." Mirage said while helping Blurr out of his hiding place.
"WhataboutMissChormia?She'shurtbadwy." Blurr said.
"She's going to be just fine. We have our best doctor taking care of her." Mirage said while holding Blurr to him.
Sunstreaker grabbed Arcee out of her hiding spot. "Come here cuty. Don't worry we are going to get you out of here." Sunstreaker said.
"Yeah, you don't have to be afraid of us." Sideswipe said while getting Springer out of his hiding spot.
Bulkhead grabbed out Cliffjumper, Blaster grabbed Ultra Magnus, and Jazz grabbed up Hot Rod. "Okay, she's stable. We can move her back to base." Ratchet said as he picked up Chormia.
"In coming!" Jazz yelled as they all took cover among the rubble, as a missile hit near them.
"Bulkhead transform, and everyone load the sparklings into Bulkhead, Blaster you ride with them. Ratchet you transform and take Chormia." Ironhide ordered. Everyone nodded and did as they were told. "Mirage you, Jazz, and the twins take them back to base. I'll cause a distraction." Ironhide said.
"Be careful, 'Hide." Sideswipe said. Ironhide patted the younger mech on the head.
"It's going to take more than anything these guys can dish out to take me down." Ironhide said with a smile.
"Then you better come back in one piece." Sunstreaker said.
"I will." Ironhide said with a smile. Ironhide had saved and raised the Lambo twins. They always respected him as their father figure.
"Sunstreaker, Sideswipe you two will bring up the rear." Mirage said as Ironhide left.
"Right." The twins said in unison. They waited for Ironhide to draw the Decepticons away, and then they left. Chormia couldn't believe how brave that black mech.
He alone was facing those Decepticons while his friends got her and the sparklings away to safety. "Is something wrong?" Ratchet asked Chormia.
"Who is that mech?" She asked as she watched him until he was out of sight.
"That's Ironhide, our second in command and our weapons specialist. He may act tough but he is a true gentle bot. He respects fems and sparklings. You see the red and yellow Autobots behind us?" Ratchet asked.
"Yes." Chormia said.
"Ironhide saved them and raised them on his own. That is one of the reasons why he joined the Autobots. He saw how the Decepticons mistreated fems and sparklings and he wants to put a stop to that." Ratchet said. Chormia couldn't help but fall in love with this Ironhide.
He was the mech she had always dreamed of being with. She always wanted a big family, but could never find the right mech. Now that she has she was going to try and win his love, and attention. "He sounds sweet. May I meet him when he returns?" She asked.
"If you are awake." Ratchet said. Once they made it to Autobot territory Mirage radioed Optimus and Ironhide.
"We are 30 minutes from Autobot base Alpha Iacon." Mirage said.
"Right." Optimus radioed back. He then ordered the retreat. Ironhide remained in radio silence but Mirage knew he heard because he opened and closed a comm. link.
Once everyone got out safely, including Ironhide, Optimus left, but he didn't know that he had a Decepticon video and listening device on him.
Optimus smiled as he was greeted by Bumble Bee and Crimson Rose. "Daddy!" Bumble Bee cried out as he ran to Optimus. Optimus bent down and picked him up.
"Hey, Bumble Bee, where you good for your mother, while I was away?" Optimus asked.
"Yeah, and look at what Uncle Aide made me." Bumble Bee said, while holding up a doll, that looked like Optimus.
"That's cool." Optimus said while kissing Bumble Bee his helm, which caused Bumble Bee to giggle, and hug him.
"He has been very good." Rose said while walking up to Optimus and then kissed his cheek.
"Good, we have more sparklings and another fem to look after." He said.
"Yeah!" Bumble Bee said while bouncing in Optimus' arms. "Where are they?" He asked as Optimus chuckled softly at the bouncing sparkling in his arms.
"They are getting checkups from Uncle Ratchet." Optimus said with a smile. He then pulled Rose to him and headed towards med bay.
"Lord Megatron, I think we may have some interesting information. Optimus Prime has a sparkmate and already had a sparkling." Shockwave reported as he showed Megatron images of Rose and Bumble Bee.
Megatron got an evil smile. "Well done Shockwave. Soundwave send Ravage and Laserbeak to capture these two immediately." Megatron ordered.
"Yes sir. Ravage, Laserbeak, operation; Capture." Soundwave said as he pressed a button on his shoulder causing his chest plate to open and ejected 2 cassettes. One changed into a bird and the other changed into a cat. They then took off to go capture the fem and the sparkling.
Optimus was on the ground and had sparklings crawling, climbing and bouncing on him. Rose was standing off to the side and was laughing at him. "Optimus, why aren't-," Jazz began to ask why he wasn't done with his reports for Prowl and now he knew why.
"Uncle Jazz!" Bumble Bee cheered while bouncing on Optimus' stomach and reached towards Jazz. Jazz smiled and went over to the sparkling and picked him up.
"Hey there little guy. Are you getting your daddy?" He asked.
"Yeah, Momma told us we should give daddy a hug and den he fell ovew and we started cwimbing on him, except Uwtwa Magnus went seepy on daddy's arm, and Awcee fell sweepy on daddy's tummy. Hot Wod is attacking daddy's other hand, and Bwurr is hiding behind mommy. Spwingew and Cwiffjumpew are having nummies." Bumble Bee reported to Jazz.
Jazz smiled. "Good." He said with a small nod. "So Optimud do you want Rose to take over your paper work since she is your bondmate?" Jazz asked.
Rose blushed a little. Optimus smiled and looked at Rose then to Jazz. "We haven't bonded yet. We can't find anyone to watch the sparklings for a while." Optimus said.
"What about Ironhide?" Jazz asked.
"He's still in med bay." Optimus said.
"Well I am ahead on my work. I guess I can take them for a while." Jazz said.
"Are you sure Jazz?" Rose asked. Both her and Optimus gave him a concerned look.
"Yeah, I can start teaching them a few things like math, reading and writing until someone can take over for me." Jazz said.
"That is a very good idea." Optimus said.
"But first you might want to put everyone down for a nap first." Rose said. Bumble Bee fell asleep in Jazz's arms. Hot Rod fell asleep chewing on Optimus' fingers, and Rose was now holding, Blurr who passed out. Springer and Cliffjumper had crawled up to Optimus and curled up next to him.
"That may be a good idea." Jazz said while a smile. He then picked up Ultra Magnus, and Rose picked up Arcee. Then Sideswipe came in looking for Jazz.
"Do you need help?" He asked softly to not wake the sparklings.
"Yes please." Jazz said. Sideswipe went over and helped Optimus up, then he grabbed up Springer while Optimus grabbed Hot Rod and Cliffjumper. Then Sideswipe led them to the nursery.
"Sideswipe would you mind helping me watch over them so Optimus and Rose can go rest?" Jazz asked.
"Sure, just let me call my brother and he can come help us too." Sideswipe said with a smile.
While Sideswipe called his brother, Jazz turned to Optimus and Rose. "Go get some rest." Jazz said to Optimus and Rose. Optimus nodded and then led her to his room.
"Did you want to bond tonight?" She asked.
"Yes I do." He said while holding her to him.
"Then I'm all yours. I-I never bonded or interfaced before." She said while blushing. He smiled and removed his mask.
"Then I will be as gentle as I can with you." He said.
After bonding, followed by a lot of interfacing, Optimus and Rose got a rude awakening by their security alarm going off. They both shot out of their berth and ran in different directions. Rose ran towards the nursery while Optimus ran towards the command room.
Ravage was causing a distraction while Laserbeak kidnapped the sparkling and lured the fem away from the base so Megatron could capture her himself. So far the plan was working. Rose was following Laserbeak who had a crying Bumble Bee, because he was scared.
Rose chased Laserbeak out of the base and right into Megatron's arms. "Hello, Mrs. Prime." Megatron said as he captured her from behind, causing her to freeze with fear.
"H-how did you know?" She asked.
"We planted a small camera on Optimus. Now you will become my sex slave, or I will kill your precious sparkling right in front of you." Megatron said as he began to feel up her body.
"Just let Bumble Bee go. He hasn't done you any harm. He is just a baby." She begged.
"And what will I gain in return?" He asked while kissing her neck.
"My obedience," She said while hoping he would release Bumble Bee. Megatron thought about it.
"Alright, Laserbeak let the brat go." Megatron ordered.
Laserbeak then dropped Bumble Bee. "Bee, listen to me. I want you to go south, you should make it home. Okay?" Rose asked while wanting to run and hold the sparkling to her.
Bumble Bee ran to her and reached up to her crying. "I guess he wants come with us. Pick him up." Megatron ordered Rose.
Rose quickly picked up the sparkling. "Don't worry Bee, daddy will save us." Rose said. She was scared for the sparkling, but to the Decepticons surprise Ironhide and Optimus came and attacked them from behind.
"Get away from the fem and the sparkling." Ironhide ordered as he killed a few Decepticons.
"Never, she is now my fem." Megatron said while holding Rose to him and aimed his cannon at Bumble Bee. "But if you come any closer, I will kill the sparkling." Megatron added.
Optimus glared at Megatron along with Ironhide. "Put down your weapons." Starscream ordered. Optimus then tossed down his weapon without a moment's hesitation. Ironhide hesitated but then tossed down his weapon when Megatron moved his cannon closer to Bumble Bee, scaring the poor babe.
"Megatron let them go your fight is with me." Optimus said.
"Heroic as ever, Prime; I thought you didn't have a special fem." Megatron said while turning Rose's head so he could lick at her neck. Optimus clenched his fists.
"Megatron, if you let them go I will take their place." Optimus said. This completely shocked Rose.
"No Optimus." She begged.
"I'll make a deal with you. You can take one of their places. Now choose who you want to go back with your second-in-command; the fem or the sparkling." Megatron said.
"Let the sparkling go." Optimus said. Megatron grabbed Bee from Rose and threw him at Ironhide, who caught the poor sparkling.
"Let me take the fem's place!" Ironhide yelled as the Decepticons restrained Optimus.
"Sorry the fem isn't negotiable." Megatron said with an evil smile as he led the other Decepticons away. Thundercracker and Skywarp had a hold of Optimus and took to the air. Megatron still held onto Rose.
Once they were back to Koan, Megatron ordered the Decepticons to chain Optimus up. So Optimus can watch him pleasure Optimus' bondmate. After Optimus was chained up and forced to his knees in front of Megatron's thrown, Megatron had a hold of a chain that was attached to shackles that were attached to Rose's wrist. "Now Optimus, why didn't you tell me you had such a brave, strong, beautiful sparkmate?" Megatron asked while pulling on the chain, which caused Rose to move closer to him.
"Leave her along, Megatron." Optimus snarled as he had to watch his greatest enemy touch his most beloved fem.
"Why should I? She is extremely beautiful." Megatron said while cupping her chin in his hand and making her look at him.
Rose was trembling in fear. She didn't want to be raped in front of Optimus. She actually began to tear up.
"Megatron, I beg of you. Just let her go, you have me now. She has done nothing to you." Optimus pleaded. Megatron smiled evilly.
"You must really care, for this fem. But I am surprised on how quickly you replaced Elita. It was fun breaking her and turning her into a Decepticon slut." Megatron said with a smile. Rose looked to Optimus confused. Optimus looked away in shame.
"What's this? You haven't told your new mate about Elita? Maybe you should tell her now." Megatron said still smiling evilly.
Optimus remained silent. Then Starscream kicked Optimus. Rose tried to run to Optimus but Megatron held on tightly to the chain. "Leave him alone!" She yelled as she tried to get to Optimus.
