Author's Note: Hey guys, here's chapter 8. This will probably be the last chapter for now until I start writing more. I like to have a couple of chapters already written before I post it, so savor it! Oh yes, sorry for forgetting about putting the end Author's Note on the last chapter. I'll remember this time -. And lets see anything else? Oh yes! This is kinda emotional/ heated between Max and Star so enjoy the quarrel-iness!
Disclaimer:I do not own Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro and the movie is under DreamWorks (even though I wish it was mine T-T)
Chapter 8- Lovers Quarrel
Maxima revved up her engine to the limit trying not to over heat her systems. She transformed aiming her cannon at Starscream. Maxima shot and hit his wing causing him to circle down and transform before he crashed.
"Ah, I forgot how good you were with that" said Starscream, wincing grabbing his wing
"Even when faced with ultimate death you still keep your wit" snarled Maxima
She changed her right arm to a blaster aiming dead at his head. Starscream looked at the weapon then moved it away from him.
"Before we head into this 'lovers quarrel', I want to apologize for what our former leader did to you" said Starscream
"It's too late to apologize" she muttered, the hum of her blaster getting louder
"Wait!" he pleaded, "Maxima, I am really sorry for what he done to you. You were and still are in my spark. I never wanted anything bad to happen to you. I was young and stupid- Megatron blinded me"
"He blinded us all!" spat Maxima, "you have no excuse. You knew the only way you were going to seem valuable in my brother's eyes was that you had something to offer. And that was me"
"No, it wasn't't like-"
"Your lust for power was stronger than your love for me" said Maxima on the verge of tears, "I'll never forgive you for that"
Maxima shot at him, hitting his arm. Starscream roared in pain as he leaped on her, punched her in her face then shot her in her leg. She hollered at the top of vocal processor in anguish.
"Yes, scream for me" he growled, "just like old times"
"You'll never have the pleasure again" hissed Maxima
She grabbed his foot and threw him across the desert. Starscream struggled to get up but Maxima was already running toward him, ax at hand. She slashed through his chest plate and cut his leg. He fell down again gripping his new wombs looking at her with hate in his eyes.
" So this is the way it must be?" he asked still wincing
Maxima sighed, " your no longer the mech I knew"
" You'll regret this decision" said Starscream before he blasted away.
She turned around and started walking back to the base. She would get there faster if she just drove, but she was tired- both emotionally and physically. Even her spark ached. Not because of the battle, but for Starscream. She would have done anything for him. Anything. But now everything had changed. Former lovers now enemies, but there's one thing she cannot deny: She saw a piece of the mech she loved today when he said he was sorry for everything.
"Maxima! Come in!" yelled a frantic Arenbe
" Yes, Aren?" said Maxima coming out of her musing
" We really need you over here! These new Decepticons are brutal!"
"Alright I'll be on my way"
"Oh yea, did you cream Starscream?" asked Arenbe. Maxima could tell she had a smirk on her face.
" No, but I know he will be back" said Maxima
The battle raged on through the ion charged air. Many were injured but still fighting. Arenbe raced across the battle field on the back wheels on her feet towards Soundwave. She shot many rounds into him but it hardly effected him. Soundwave grabbed her by her neck and started to squeeze.
" I will break you like your brother" he said in his mono tone. His grip became tighter and tighter until a cannon blast shot his hand off.
" Hands off the lady ya fragger!" roared Ironhide. He caught her in one arm and smiled at her. She tried to return it but she took out her shoulder cannon and shot at a decepticon who tried to attack him from the back.
" Repayment" Aren said as she ran to attack another.
" Are these guys rougher than usual?" asked Vespa
" I wouldn't know!" shrieked Starhealer, " this is really different from the training sessions at the academy!"
" The young ones need help!" yelled Steala over her shoulder
" I'm a little preoccupied at the moment!" yelled Arenbe back through her link, " can you get Bumblebee or Ratchet?"
" Our links aren't connected to theirs" said Steala
" Then where in Vector Sigma is Maxima?" screamed Arenbe, " Primus! She should be here already!"
"Maxima! Maxima! We need you!" called Vespa, " Me and Star cant hold on much longer"
Suddenly the decepticon that was advancing to the two had an ax go through his spark. Maxima leaped over him as he exploded.
" Are you okay?" asked Maxima as her mask retracted.
" Yea, but Star's a lil' shaken up" said Vespa with a hand on her shoulder
" It'll be alright" said Maxima, " this was your first battle"
Star nodded.
" Vespa get her to Ratchet and-"
There was an explosion sending the three of them into the air. They fell rough on the ground causing their bright optics go dark.
Author's Note: DUN DUN DUN!!!!! Maxima still has feelings for Starscream? POR WHY?! Is he still good deep inside? Will he come back for another attack? (most likely yes... its Starscream. lol) What happened to Maxima, Vespa, and Starhealer? Are they okay? Will they awake? Find out next chapter! Please READ and REVIEW! Thanks!
P.S: Did any one geek out when Maxima axed that decepticon and leaped over him, then like asked if everyone was alright? That was such an Optimusy move right there. Yea, I said it... Optimusy lol
