The Last Sparkling

Chapter 7

"Bumblebee we don't have time for this!" Prime said angrily as the young bot tried to contact the Elite Guard.

"Look, I'm not letting anyone hurt her till I find out why she's a Decepticon!" Bumblebee said angrily, glaring coldly at the Autobot leader. Prime looked shocked by the younglings glare.

Soon Ultra Magnus appeared on one of the screens. "What do you need?" he asked. He looked at the youngling's face, which was filled anger and fear.

"Okay I know you knew a femme named Neon Night! I want to know why she's here and why she's a Decepticon!" Bumblebee said in an angry tone.

Ultra Magnus's optics widened slightly. He glanced at Ratchet. The old medic nodded with a sigh. He then looked at the youngling "Um…Neon Night. Yes, she was…brainwashed by Decepticons awhile after we lost contact with you all."

Bumblebee's optics widened slightly "W-what?" "There's…no way we can reverse the effects on her." The young bot felt his spark sink at what Ultra Magnus had said. "N-no…"

The Elite Guard Commander turned to Prime "If you don't mind. I'd like to talk to Ratchet alone." He said in a slightly angry tone.

Optimus nodded. He looked at the youngest member of the team. Prowl and Bulkhead had already started heading for the door. Bumblebee wasn't moving though. Prime sighed and lifted the young bot off the ground and took the speechless bot out of the room.

Once he was sure the others were a good distance away the old medic turned to the angry optics of the Elite Guard Commander. "He had a right to know."

"Not now he didn't! What does he know?" Magnus asked, trying to keep his cool but he wasn't succeeding.

"Everything. Well…almost. He still doesn't know what great force he has to fight yet and he hasn't discovered his power yet so calm down. But he knows Blue Sun and I are his creators and that you're his um…what are they called on Earth…oh yeah, uncle. Magnus…he needed to know." Ratchet said sighing.

Ultra Magnus simply sighed "Your right…but are we sure we can afford having him know all this?" Ratchet nodded "It's going to take him awhile to get all this. But I'm going to act like a real…father…and help him through it. Now," the old medic looked up from the ground and at his commander. "What's the story with Neon Night?"

"I told you she was brain-" "Bull! I know when you lie Magnus! She wasn't brainwashed! What the spark really happened to her?" the medic demanded to know.

The Elite Guard Commander looked at the ground. He slowly lifted his head and looked back at the angry medic "If I tell you…you may not be able to tell Bumblebee. His sparks already going through so much right now. Let's not let him know the truth."

"I won't…" Ratchet said and found a large metal chair in the room and sat on it. He crossed his arms and looked at Magnus "Now…tell me what happened."

The young pink and green femme held the sparkling close to her chassis. The sparkling was wrapped in a baby blue colored blanket.

"Geez Shining you created one ugly kid." The orange and slightly grey mech joked as he stood next to the femme.

"Hey hey hey! Not cool Rattrap! Not cool!" Shining Night said angrily, glaring at the taller mech.

"I was only jokin' chill." Rattrap said grinning. "Well then don't poke fun at our sparkling!"

"I still don't get why you put both our programmings into him! He only needed one! And I thought we decided that he was going to have my programming." The orange mech said annoyed.

"A few reasons for that Ratty. One; because I wanted him to be like both of us. Two; if he had just your looks he really would be one ugly sparkling. And three; I don't want him having just your personality. He needed a mix of both of ours." Shining Night said smiling and tickled the sparkling.

"Oh ha ha. You are such a jerk." Rattrap said annoyed. "Yeah, but I'm your jerk." The femme said grinning. "Alright, he needs some sleep now. I'll go put him in recharge. You get some energon ready for later when he wakes up." Shining Night said and started to walk away from Rattrap with the sparkling.

"Alright," Rattrap said and headed in the other direction "But be careful with him. Magnus, is kind of fragile."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Ratchet's optics widened "So wait, this…Neon Night and um…" "Rattrap." "Right…Rattrap. They were your creators?"

Ultra Magnus nodded. "It was when Neon Night had still been an Autobot and went by the name 'Shining Night'; she had given me both her and Rattrap's programming for another reason. She believed in giving sparklings more…potential. So she gave me two programmings."

"But wait, with how your explaining this Rattrap guy…he doesn't even seem like your real creator. I mean…he seemed like the kidding type. No offense Magnus but that's not like you. You're more of the honorable type then the kidding type." The Elite Guard Commander sighed.

"In due time Ratchet. You'll find out more. Shining Night was a horrible femme. She tricked everyone around her. Even the ones she'd bonded with."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"What!?" Rattrap yelled looking at the younger bot. "What do you mean she's gone!?" the mech yelled.

The young yellow mech flinched slightly from the older bots yelling. "I went to go check on her and Magnus like you said but she was gone."

"Where's Magnus then?" Rattrap asked angrily, trying to keep his calm but he wasn't succeeding.

"H-he's still in there. He's in recharge. But there's no sign of Shining Night, I couldn't even find her energy signature." The young mech said.

"Slag! Cheetor, go get Airazor and see if she knows where Shining Night might have gone." The older mech instructed. Cheetor nodded and ran off to find the black and gold femme known as Airazor.

Rattrap ran to his son's room. He walked in and looked at the recharging sparkling. He gently picked him up and ran out of the room holding him close to his chassis "Don't worry kid…we're gonna find your mother."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"I'm really really really sorry Airazor. But I can't let you tell Rattrap or anyone else about this." Shining Night said with a small smirk as her blaster was aimed at the stasis locked femme.

Shining Night's blaster slowly went back into her arm. She walked up next to the femme she had just blasted and took the disk that was in the femme's hand. "Thank you. I'll just make sure no one gets a hold of this."

Shining Night rose up off the ground and stepped over the younger femme and started walking down the metallic hallway.

"SHINING NIGHT!" the femme stopped right in her tracks and turned at the sound of the familiar voice. "Rattrap?" she said as her optics got wide. She saw the sparkling in his arms. Their sparkling "W-what are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you the same!" he said angrily. He looked down at his fallen femme friend. She needed medical attention and fast! He glared up at his so called 'bond-mate' "Why? Why did you do this? Airazor and you were great friends! Then you try to kill her?"

Shining Night just looked into her mate's optics. "She knew too much. Had to do it. I have no concern for her. Nor do I…for you." She said grinning as her blaster yet again came out of her arm and she aimed it at the mech. "Or for the sparkling."

Rattrap's optics widened slightly. Was this really Shining Night? His best friend? His bond-mate? The mother of his sparkling? "Shining…you…you can't be serious…"

"Oh but I am." She said as her smile got wider. "The Autobots mean nothing to me anymore. No one here does! You Autobots are weak and defenseless." Shining Night said angrily.

"So wait…your…your going to be-" "That's right…she's going to be…a Decepticon." A voice only familiar to Rattrap said.

The orange mech's optics narrowed "Dinobot…"

A slight chuckle was heard as an orange and slightly brown mech stepped out of the shadows of the hallway. His face plate was a dark blue like some parts of his body and his optics…red like a Decepticon. "Correct. Good to know you remember your old friend."

Rattrap just rolled his optics "Old friend? More like worst enemy." "That hurts. But not as much as this will!" Dinobot said angrily as he pulled out the laser cannon that was attached to his back. He aimed it at the shocked Autobot and fired.

Rattrap quickly tried to dodge but was hit right in the leg and fell to the ground. As he fell, the sparkling flew out of his hands and hit the metallic wall, causing the child to wake up and cry out in pain.

Rattrap winced slightly at the pain coming from his leg as he tried to get up. "Oh, no need to stand." Dinobot said with a smirk as he stood in front of the fallen Autobot, cannon yet again aimed at him.

The orange mech just stared at the cannon and then looked over at the femme he once called his friend with sad optics "Shining…why?"

Shining Night just stood there, arms crossed and with a smirk on her face, she was completely ignored the screaming baby and had her attention on Dinobot and Rattrap. Her smirk grew as Rattrap asked the question that so many had already asked. "Because…I wanted to."

Rattrap's optics just widened again. He then sighed and closed his optics as he turned back to Dinobot "Fine…then go ahead and shot me."

Dinobot frowned "You're not even going to fight back?" "What's the point? The person I love is a Decepticon now…doesn't care about me, her friends...her child. Just go ahead and shot me Chopper-Face. Don't do your honor crap on me just do it. I surrender."

Dinobot raised and optic ridge but then grinned at the smaller bot "Alright then." His cannon fired up and soon the large amount of energy shot out from it and hit Rattrap dead on.

Smoke surrounded the area the shot had come from. Shining Night waited patiently for the smoke to clear up. The femme was able to make out two figures. One stand there proud and the other…lying on the ground.

The smoke soon cleared up. Dinobot was of course the one standing there proud of himself. His optics turned from the possibly offline mech to the femme. He slowly walked over to her but stopped as he passed the cry mech. "Shall I terminate the child?"

Shining Night just looked at the sparkling. She opened her mouth but then looked into the sparklings saddened optics. "No…leave it be. Lets just go." She said turning away from the child and Dinobot.

The Decepticon mech just stared at the femme as she walked off. He then turned to the sparkling who continued to cry. "As you wish…" he mumbled and started to follow behind the femme.

Shining Night looked at the golden disc in her hands. Then to Dinobot was walking behind her. She took his hand and placed the gold disk in his hand. "This is what Megatron wanted. Consider this as me pledging my allegiance…to the Decepticons."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Who? What? Where?" Rattrap quickly sat up on the medical berth with a shocked expression on his face plate. A stinging pain ran through his body, causing him to lay back down. He soon realized he was in a med-bay.

"It's good to see your awake Rattrap." A giant green and brown Autobot said. The Autobot stood next to the medical berth looking at the smaller bot.

"Rhinox? What…what happened?" Rattrap asked, trying to remember how all this damage was caused to him.

Rhinox looked into the bots optics and sighed "Dinobot nearly slagged you. Your lucky Inferno saw what happened on the security tapes or we would have never known about you being hurt or…Shining Nights betrayal."

"Oh yeah…" Rattrap said remembering all that had happened just a few cycles ago. His bond-mate was now a Decepticon…just like all the other friends he had made in his life. His optics widened slightly and he turned to Rhinox in panic "Where…where's Magnus!?"

"Relax, he's fine. He only got some damage to the head. He's in recharge right now. Chromia is watching him for me." "Oh…that's good. That's good." Rattrap said calming down slightly. "At least I still have my son."

Rhinox frowned slightly at his. Could he really tell Rattrap the truth? His friend had already been hurt so much today. Could he take knowing the horrible truth?

The giant Autobot was about to back down and walk away for a few nano clicks. But stopped and sighed. He looked Rattrap in the optics and said "I got…some bad news."

"What? I already know Night's a Decepticon now. That's the bad news right?" by the look on Rhinox's face plate, Rattrap knew he had guessed wrong "Right?"

"Magnus…isn't really your son." Rhinox said sighing faintly. "W-what?" the younger mech asked, optics wide with fear. "He's not your son. Shining Night lied to you…he's…he's Dinobot's son. Shining downloaded hers and Dinobot's programming into him. Inferno and I found this out after we brought you here."

"How?" Rattrap asked still in shock. "Quickstrike told us." "How did he know!?" "Quickstrike was our double agent! Remember? After Shining Night and Dinobot left the Autobot base, Quickstrike came back and told us that while he was in the Decepticon base that Dinobot had been acting suspicious. He said he followed Dinobot around and started to dig up some dirt on him. He soon found some of Dinobot's computer journals. It reveled everything. Shining was the Decepticons secret agent. She's been working for them for awhile now. Even before Magnus was created."

"Even before she met me?" the young mech asked sadly. "No…she was still one of us at the time. Something happened as time passed. No one knows how. Quickstrike couldn't even find out why Shining betrayed us. Though once he found out about all this he tried to get back here before anything happened. Sadly he was too late." Rhinox explained with a sigh. "I'm sorry Rattrap" he said as he placed a large hand on the smaller bots shoulder.

Rattrap just pushed the giant hand away. He slowly got off the medical berth and ignored the pain that ran through his entire body. "Rattrap get back on the berth. You're hurt." "No!" Rattrap yelled angrily. He turned away from his friend "Get rid of this kid."

"What!?" "You heard me! Get rid of him! I never want to see that kid! EVER! Do you hear me!? EVER!" Rattrap yelled and ran out of the med-bay as fast as could, yet again ignoring the pain.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"She…betrayed the Autobots. I see now why you didn't want to tell Bumblebee. Knowing his caretaker had been a Decepticon all along? That'd be brutal on the kid." Ratchet said with a faint sigh. "So…your really a-"

"Decepticon child? Yes…but my records still say that Neon Night and Rattrap are my creators. Only four Autobots knew about my Decepticon heritage. Rhinox, Inferno, Quickstrike…and Rattrap. No one else knows and possibly might not ever know. All four of those Autobots are probably long gone by now…at least I think so." Ultra Magnus said sighing himself.

"But what about Blue Sun? She's your sister. So how-" "Neon Night created her soon after she became a Decepticon. Maybe three thousand years after I was created. I don't know how she did it but she some how got Megatron's programming and downloaded both hers and Megatron's into Blue Sun. She's only my half sister."

"What about that Dinobot fellow? Wasn't she bond-mates with him? Or did she betray him too?" "Surprisingly no. Dinobot was killed in a battle. I'm guessing Neon Night found refuge in loving Megatron." Magnus explained.

"So you and her and both Decepticon children." Ratchet stated. Ultra Magnus nodded. "Blue Sun was found one day on the battle field. Some tests were run on her. Rhinox was the one checking her. He found out that she was my sister. He only told Rodimus, the leader at the time, that Blue Sun was another child on Shining Night. But said nothing about being Megatron's daughter."

"How did you find all this out?" Ratchet questioned.

"She told me. While she was trying to escape the base I went after her. She gave me…this golden disc. That explained everything. About her being my mother and that Blue Sun and I came from Decepticon heritage. What had happen during her time as a Decepticon…and many other things." Ultra Magnus explained further.

"So…does she know about Bumblebee?" Ultra Magnus nodded "Though before she left…she told me she wouldn't tell anyone about Bumblebee being the last sparkling until she knew what Megatron would do to him if he found out. She really cared for Bumblebee."

"Figures…she's his grandmother. At least that's what the humans call it. He's related to her in some way…and to Megatron…that would really break the kids spark if he found out he was related to Megatron." Ratchet said looking at the ground, almost picturing Bumblebee's reaction if he told him.

"Which is why you will not tell him. At least…not yet. He has an important job that needs to be done…possibly soon. Let him get used to knowing you are his creator and knowing that he is the last sparkling…and our only hope of winning the war."

Ratchet nodded slightly "There's so many more questions…that I want to ask."

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Bumblebee just sat there on his berth. He wondered what Ultra Magnus and Ratchet were talking about. He wondered if Magnus would now send somebody to come and get him and take him away. The Autobot commander probably knew now that Bumblebee had learned about his true past and what he really was.

But the most important question that was on his mind was 'Why Neon Night?' why did she have to get brainwashed? Why her? What had she ever done wrong? Nothing! She hadn't done one single bad thing in her life!

"Then why her…" Bumblebee asked sadly. Fluid started to leak from his optics. He quickly wiped the fluid away as some one knocked on the door. "Uh…um…come in…" Bumblebee said nervously as he wiped the last of the fluid away.

The door swished open and Prowl stood there. He slowly walked in and the door shut behind him. "Prime says that we need to stop her."

Bumblebee frowned "Why? This isn't her fault! She's being forced to do this!" he said. He felt like 'crying' again. But he didn't want to…not in front of Prowl.

Prowl also frowned. He walked over to the younger mech and sat next to him "I know this is hard on you. But you have to understand we need to stop her."

"How could you possibly know what this feels like? You've never lost some one before!" Bumblebee said angrily.

"Actually…I have." Prowl said with a sigh. He looked away as Bumblebee looked at him with wide optics. "You did?"

Prowl slowly turned to the yellow mech and nodded. "Yes. It was when I was just about your age. I was training in the art of Circuit-Su. Along with a good friend of mine known as Jazz."

"Wait! You mean the Elite Guard Jazz?" Prowl nodded at the youngling's question. "Everything was going fine at first. We trained everyday and had as normal a life as a Circuit-Su bot in training can have. But one day we met this femme…named Dimension. She had been in the med-bay almost all her life. She was going through something called Stasis Depression."

"They say she'd had it since she was five thousand. At that time she was about thirteen thousand like me and Jazz. She was in the care of a medic bot known as First Aid. One day we took her out into the city, a place she wasn't allowed to go. Even though nothing happened, Rodimus the Autobot leader wouldn't let us see her anymore. You forbid us from ever talking to her or even being near her."

"Did you listen to him?" "No…we snuck Dimension out. We wanted her to open up. We wanted to help her with her depression. Though during this time…I found out that I was slowly starting to love her. All the struggle we went through, the fights, the pain and suffering…we stood through it all and the thing I wanted the most…was to see her smile."

Bumblebee listened to Prowl's story. This had really happened to him? Was Prowl really THAT old? He said Rodimus was in power at the time. How old was Prowl? "What happened to her?"

The ninja-bot just stared at the youngling then turned away "She died…" Bumblebee's optics widened "W-what?"

"A Decepticon fleet attacked the part of the base her and I were in. She was hit by one of them. Help came too late. She didn't live." "Do you ever miss her?" Bumblebee asked. Prowl just nodded "But somewhere out there…back on Cybertron…I have someone up there that reminds me of her. It's not another femme…it's not Jazz…it's something…her and I created…together."

Prowl slowly got up off the berth and walked over to the door. It swished open again and he slightly turned his head to the confused bot "Prime says you don't have to come if you don't want to." And with that he left the room and started to walked down the hallway, leaving the young yellow bot there speechless.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The two young teen bots laid there on the berth. Panting heavily, their chassis slightly open. Enough that you could see a glimpse of their sparks.

"Did…did we really just-" "Bond?" the ninja in training finished the femme's question "Yeah…we did."

"It…was more then I expected it to ever be" Dimension said with a slight sigh. Prowl smiled faintly and pulled the femme closer to him. He held onto her gently and kissed the top of her helm "I'm glad I shared this moment with you." He said.

The femme looked into the ninja-bots optics. Prowl was still smiling, he hoped she would smile back but sadly…no emotion came from her. She turned away from him and faintly said "Yeah…"

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

"Dimension…" Prowl mumbled as he headed back to the main room where Optimus, Bulkhead and Sari were waiting for him.

'I wonder…if you were still alive now…would you have stayed with me…and our sparkling…?'

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

What?! Prowl and Dimension had a sparkling!? But how!? Well you might find out and you might not. But you'll find out who the sparkling was in the next chapter. If you want to take guesses out who you think it is go ahead. Bet you won't get it though! Heh, anyway again sorry it took so long to update. I had trouble explaining some parts of this story. Oh and yeah….I brought in Beast Wars characters. Thought it would be fun and it was. Hopefully you understood what I was trying to explain. If you didn't…don't be afraid to ask. Till next chapter!
