PLEASE READ BEGINNING AND ENDING AUTHOR NOTE, IT'S IMPORTANT!
Alright, you guys have been waiting WAY too long for this so here it is. The chapter of the Autobots meeting the kids, all grow up…literally. So I guys hope you enjoy and REVIEW! (Hint hint)
And a special, thanks to every single person who read my fic, added it to your guys watch list, added ME to your guys watch list, and REVIEWED! Thanks! You guys have no idea how happy it makes me! And when I am happy, I find it easier to write when I am happy then when I am sad and depressed…which is often, especially since it's pretty much winter were I am and I kinda get moody during the beginning of winter, so sorry in advance if this affects my fics in anyway.
I have the alt. modes pretty much figured out and will start writing the next chapter after this one is done which you guys will know since…well, you guys are reading this so I should be doing well on the other one.
And a MAJOR SPECIAL THANKS TO DragonCrazed who send me the most unbelievable review. Thank you and I hope you will review again.
Definitions if you get confused with the Cybertronian version of certain body parts and all that:
-Optics- eyes
-Faceplate- face
-Servo- hand
-Berth- bed
-Digit- finger
-Intake- breathe in (sharply, depending how used in a sentence)
-Femme- girl\woman
-Bot- person
-Spark chamber- Equivalent to where the heart is on a Cybertronian. It also protects the spark and also has a safety mechanism know as a 'Spark Bite' (I DO NOT own this idea) which forced the spark chamber to remain closed if the bot who is trying to bond with another who is already bonded
Bonded- It's like marriage except it's more…extreme in a way. When a bot is bonded, it means that he or she has merged his or hers spark with another. This bind is very precious and very special. Whatever one bonded member feels, the other feels the same. For example: If the femme, BlackSpirit (I just came up with this, if its belongs to anyone. Sorry in advance so please don't hate me) is feeling hatred towards another femme, LightGlow (again, came up with this on the fly). Then her bonded RadarGun (came up with on the fly once again) will feel it and return emotions back to her through the bond to try and ease her. You can also share thoughts, memories, ideas and etc. through the bond, not just feelings
-Helm- head
-Well of Allspark- heaven
-Sweetspark- sweetheart
-processor\CPU- mind
-Processor ache- head ache
-Astro-cycle- second
-Breem- hour
-Chassis- body
-Glossa- tongue
-Audio receptor- ear
-Younglings- children
-Creators- parents
ALL GRAMMAR AND/OR SPELLING ERRORS ARE THE FAULT OF MEGATRON, SOUNDWAVE, KNOCKOUT, BREAKDOWN, AIRACHNID AND STARSCEAM. I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS, HASBRO DOES. CAUSE IF I DID, I WOULD BE STINKY MILLIONAIRE RIGHT NOW!

"I…understand" said Jack before he vanished into mist.
"JACK!" Arcee screamed, running towards where he had been.
"Goodbye Arcee" saluted Tailgate, before vanishing into mist as well.
"I hope to not see you soon Cee" teased Cliffjumper as he did the same.
"TAILGATE! CLIFFJUMPER! COME BACK!" screamed Arcee before the darkness claimed her and she became mist as well.
"NO!" Arcee shrieked as she sat up straight, her hand reaching out to Jack to stop him from disappearing, "JACK! COME BACK!"
Arcee cried out in pain as bright light hit her optics, causing the world to spin before her. She slowly opened and blinked her optics and took in her surroundings. She was back at the base, in one of the ones that they never used. She looked to her right, she saw the door; she looked to the left, she saw a blank wall.
"What…what happened?" she asked herself, placing her faceplate into her servos.
"Don't know, but they seemed like interesting people, Tailgate and Cliffjumper" replied a voice behind her, causing her to jump from the berth and onlining her weapons.
"Hey come on Arcee, I am a friendly so…please don't shoot?" pleaded the large figure before her, causing her to gasp.
It was Jack, in all his glory as a triple-changer. His silver optics looked at her with the same amusement and joking manner she had come to enjoy. His silver armor with black trim shining healthy under the lights; not a speck of dirt or ash on him anywhere. His wings looking big and strong like they should on a triple-changer of his size and mass. Arcee couldn't stop looking, this was Jack; this was her partner that she owed so much too.
"Ah…Arcee? Is…is something wrong?" he asked, his optics filled with worry and concern as he lowered his arms.
"Huh? What? No…no, nothing is wrong. Everything…everything is alright" she replied.
"Then…why are your weapons still online and…pointed at me?" he asked, pointed a clawed digit at her blasters that were still trained in him.
"Huh? Oh…OH! Oh geez. I am so sorry Jack" apologized Arcee as she offline them and took some unsure steps towards him.
He smiled and she couldn't help but feel herself intake a breathe. He was…breathe-taking, 'drop dead gorgeous' as the humans say. It wouldn't have surprised Arcee if back on Cybertron; he would have femmes falling for him left and right.
"Arcee? Why are you staring at like that?" he asked, chucking as Arcee realized that she had been staring at him and felt her cheeks go warm.
"No reason, it's just…hard to believe that…the bot that is standing right now in front of me…is the same human who I am glad to call my partner only hours ago"
Jack smiled as his optics became soft as he stepped towards Arcee and grabbed one of her servos.
"I am the same person Arcee, so you don't have to worry. And nothing will change, I will still be your partner from now till the end" he said as he placed her servo over his spark chamber. Arcee felt the warm of his spark as it pulsed beneath her digits in his armor, proving that he was online and well.
She felt her spark swell at the thought and felt something being return, the safe feeling but…from someone else.
"Jack…is that…you?" she asked slowly, unsure of what was going on.
"Oh geez. I'm sorry Arcee. I forgot we are bonded and that what I feel you feel too so…Arcee are you OK?" he asked, seeing that her optics had grown to the size of dinner plates for giants.
"Bonded? Did…you just say we are bonded?" she asked as she began to shake.
"Yeah…why?" he asked, "Is there something wrong with us being bonded. I mean I know it's too soon for us but it was the only way to save me…according to Ratchet anyway"
"W-What? The only way to save you? How-"began Arcee but she stopped as the memories from early came rushing back. Finding Jack alive, Airachnid showing up, her and Airachnid trading blows, Jack beating her into a bloody energon mess, returning to base with the others and going under the scalpel to save Jack.
"Ratchet, he…he split my spark" she said quietly, placing a servo over her spark chamber.
"And he gave me the piece he got from you, and because of that we are now official bonded and a couple, like it would be back on Cybertron" said Jack shrugging, rubbing the back on his neck nervously.
Arcee looked up and locked optics with Jack as he returned her gaze. She could feel his uncertainty and how unsure he was right now; not knowing what to do or what to say. She smiled as she placed a servo on his faceplate as he did the same. He lowered his helm as she raised hers; and as his lips brushed against hers, she felt like she was in the Well of Allspark.
"Arcee? Are you sure…are you sure you want to?" he asked softly, his breathe tickling her.
She smiled against his lips and made the small distance between them disappeared as she kissed him. She felt his stiffen but relax as he began to deepen the kiss; his servos pulling her closer to him. She smiled as she placed her servos on his chest, stroking it.
Arcee chuckled as she felt his spark hum through their bond and he smiled as she returned the same feeling.
"Ahem" coughed someone loudly, causing Jack and Arcee to freeze before separating.
"Glad to see that you two are already up and getting along…well with each other" smirked Ratchet, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh…hey Ratchet" grinned Jack, his cheeks a bright red as he grinned, scratching the back of his helm.
"You're blushing" Arcee said amazed.
"It seems that certain traits that Jack had as a human transformed as well when he became Cybertronian, as you can see" said Ratchet with a scientist tone of voice that reminded Jack and Arcee both of a nerdy geek; the image that Jack send through the bond had Arcee smile and snort in laughter. Causing Ratchet to glare and growl as he made a motion towards the door and said, "Come on, you two sweetsparks. It's time we all got together and figured out how in the Allspark this all happened"
Jack smiled as he held out his servo to Arcee who smiled in return and took his servo.
"Always the gentleman, hm Jack?" she asked as they began to walk.
"Hm, I try" he replied back jokingly, his optics shining.
"Oh please, get a room you two. And do me a favour, don't snog each other while I am present, I don't think my poor park, much less, my optics could take!"
(((((((((((((((((+++++++++++++++))))))))))))))))
"Hm…well, I think you too have overstayed our visit, now beat it" scowled Brawn as the lights flickered
"Huh? What do you mean Brawn? The party has just started" said Miko, throwing back her arms to emphasize it
"Yeah, well, I am ending it. Watch out Bulkhead, this one is a wild card and wild cards aren't always great to have in war" warned Brawn s the lights continued to flicker
"What's with the lights Brawn, forget to pay the electric bill or something" joked Miko, staring at the ceiling
"Ha ha, leave" growled Brawn as the lights flickered once before turning off, plunging the room into total darkness
Bulkhead felt his CPU swim as he came too; the world just a large blurry mass of colors that made him dizzy. He groaned out loud as he brought a servo to his helm, hoping to massage the processor ache that he felt coming on.
"You won't be able to make yourself feel better like that Bulk. Here, let me help you" said a female voice as Bulkhead felt small and nimble servo touch his helm; giving him a massage that he happily accepted.
"Wow Bulk, if I knew a small massage would get you purring like a cat, I would have done this sooner and save myself all the trouble" grinned a voice, her voice full of life and sounding…very familiar.
"Hm is that right?" he asked.
"Yup, and do you know what?"
"What?"
"I thought for sure you would be standing right, crushing the life out of me with a Cybertron version of a bear hug and scratching your head, trying to figure out how I am here right now?"
Bulkhead opened one optic and then closed it before snapping both of his optics open; there standing with her trademark grin and brown optics filled with mischief, was Miko.
"Miko!" Bulkhead cried, jumping from the berth and grabbing Miko; pulling her indeed into a Cybertron version of a bear hug.
"Easy Bulkhead, what are you trying to do you big lug? Send me back to visit Brawn?" Miko cried, but you could tell that she was joking as there was a big grin on her faceplate and by her tone.
"Miko, how is this possible? What's going on? I-you-Ratchet…I….I think I need to lie down before I hurt myself and Ratchet welds my aft to the ceiling"
Miko laughed as Bulkhead sat down on the berth; his CPU spinning so fast that it made him dizzy.
"I…I saw you…and….and Brawn. Both of us were offline, dead. How are we here now?"
"I think it's because of that Spark Splitting surgery thing that doc bot did. I guess I have to give him credit, I never thought the old guy had it still in him to do that kind of surgery when he explained, or tried to anyway, how the surgery went and what it was supposed to do. But you should have seen the look Jack had when Ratchet said because of the surgery that we were all bonded or 'a couple' and that we were in a way, 'married'. It was hilarious!"
"…WHAT!" howled Bulkhead, standing up and grabbing Miko's arms and locked optics with her.
"What? So we're bonded, big deal. I see you as a friend, a big brother even. I don't see why you are so upset. And yes Bulkhead, Ratchet explained what being bonded means but he also said that friends can be bonded, so…" said Miko, shrugging her shoulders like it was no big deal.
"Miko, I…you see…"
Miko smiled and patted one of Bulkhead's servos as Bulkhead felt her send him feelings of comfort and acceptance through the bond; startling him that she figured out how to use it so well and so soon.
"It's OK, Bulk. I get what you are trying to say and its fine. We may start out as friends but we might become more and if not, then we don't. It's nothing to be so worked up about in my opinion. And for the record, I see you as part of my family, part of my 'nakama' and I couldn't have wished for anyone better"
Bulkhead stared in amazement at the level of maturity that Miko was displaying. She was indeed full of surprises and he couldn't ask for anything less for someone who he was happy to be bonded with.
"Hey Bulk, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what?"
"How long do you think it's going to take KnockOut to buff out that super-sized dent I gave Breakdown for being a jerk?" grinned Miko, her optics filled with mischief that made Bulkhead grin.
"Maybe several breems and I think they are going to be painful ones too" joked Bulkhead, his blue optics twinkling with laughter.
Miko and Bulkhead burst out laughing, enjoying each other's company when a loud coughing interrupted them. They turned and standing in his grumpy glory was Ratchet.
"I can see that both of you are up and already planning something"
"Oh come on, doc bot; don't you trust us?" asked Miko, giving him the puppy dog look which he ignored.
"No" he replied bluntly, "Now if you two would follow me, it's time we meet up with the others"
"Others? Like who?" asked Miko as she and Bulkhead followed Ratchet out of the room and down the hall.
Ratchet smirked and Bulkhead could feel his chassis go cold. Whenever Ratchet smirked like that; it was always a bad sign.
"You have to wait and see" was the reply, to which Miko groaned, "What, that sucks Ratchet! I hate waiting!"
"And you hate being left waiting"
"...Touché"
(((((((((+++++++++++)))))))))))
"I am not asking you to replace me, I am asking you to find a place in his spark so that he wouldn't have to alone anymore" was Elita's answer as everything around them became blurry
"But!" Optimus and Mrs. Darby exclaimed at the same time
"No buts and besides…" said Elita smiling as she shrugged her shoulders, "Optimus always wanted to have sparklings of his own; so you can give them to him, he wanted three by the way June"
"Elita!" Optimus yelled, his entire faceplate as red, or maybe even redder, than his paintjob as Mrs. Darby blushed as well.
And as soon as it started, it was over. Everything around them became blurry before turning into darkness and engulfing the 'blessed' couple.
"Optimus…Optimus….please, wake up" begged a voice from far away as the darkness that kept the Prime in a dreamless sleep began to move away; letting him to re-enter the world of the awake and living.
Optimus slowly onlined his optics as a face began to emerged. It was blurry but it began to become solid and before the long, the blurry image was replaced with the figure of Mrs. June Darby looking at him with her gray and blue-tinted optics.
"Optimus, you are awake. Oh, I am so happy that you are finally up. I thought…I thought that you wouldn't" she sobbed, tears beginning to run down her faceplate and splashing down in his faceplate.
"Mrs. Darby…" began Optimus but was silenced by a digit.
"Call me June, Optimus. You deserve that much" she said, smiling with optics filled with tears.
"June" he said slowly, the word strange and foreign on his glossa.
"How…how are you feeling" she asked, as she helped him to sit up straight on the berth that he had been lying on.
"I feel fine, thank you for asking" he replied and he gave him a tired smile back as she turned from him and looked at the door.
Optimus could tell that something was bothering her and it didn't take a genius to know what it was.
"It bothers you, that I was with someone before I meet you, doesn't it?" he said, stating more than asking and he saw her flinch, trying not to make contact.
"It's that and also…it feels like I am cheating…"
"Like you are cheating on?"
"On Jack's father, and my husband or my bonded" she replied, the answer making the air seem chilly, cold and unforgiving.
Optimus sighed as he gazed at the sad form of a woman whom he had come to respect so much.
"Mrs.….June, if you want my opinion. I do not think you are cheating on your husband by being with me and being my bonded. And I do not think you are causing me to cheat on Elita-1. I loved her, I still love her but she is no longer part of my world and the world of the living…and neither is your husband, even if he is still alive and out there somewhere. I know I cannot take his place in your spark and I know that you know you can't take Elita-1's place in my spark. But let us try to comfort each other since we know that we no longer can be with our beloved" said Optimus, his optics locked onto the still figure.
June slowly turned and faced Optimus; her optics filled with tears as she opened her mouth but no sounds came out, only a gurgle.
Optimus smiled a small, sad smile as he pulled June closer to him; letting her helm rest on his chest. He felt her stiffen, unsure of what to do.
"It is alright, just relax. I will never hurt you and I will never do anything to you that you don't want me to do. I promise on my honor as an Autobot" he murmured into her audio receptors, causing her to shiver.
She didn't respond, but began to stroke the Autobot insignia that was on his chest as he stroked her back.
"Optimus, what was she like?"
"Who?"
"Elita-1, what was she like?"
"Elita, she was…a wonderful bot. She was kind, patience, understanding, had a kind spark. She was also a strong believer of justice and that those who committed wrong should be punished, no matter if they were a Senator or a member of the Council; all had to judged. She was also stubborn, hot headed and had a fiery wrath that no one wanted to be on the other end of. But she cared about others and would do anything to help those that were less fortunate than herself"
"She…sounds like an amazing person. I wish…I could have met her"
"I believe that the two of you would have been fast friends"
A loud knocking was heard as the door slide open and revealed the figure of Ratchet.
"Ratchet…" said June softly
"Hello there, old friend. How are you?"
Ratchet sighed as he pinched the bridge of where his nose would. "I would be better if I didn't have to deal with younglings wherever I go"
Optimus smiled as he stood up, June in his arms; causing her to blush.
"I think it's time that we all got together, what do you think Ratchet?"
"I think it's a good idea, why didn't I think of that" said Ratchet sarcastically, rolling his optics.
Optimus chuckled as he followed Ratchet, still carrying June in his arms.
"Um…Optimus, could you put me down?" she asked
"Why?" he asked
"Save Jack the trouble of having a spark attack and/or heaving what's in his tank for seeing a Prime goggling his mother" snapped Ratchet
"Wait…what?"
(((((((((((((((((+++++++++++++)))))))))))))))))))))
"You will see, but not now. It is not your time, neither is it Bee's. I hope that one day, in the distant future that we will meet again and talk and tell one another what happens and what happened between now till then" was Wasp's reply as the crystals began to hum and grow with a blinding light that soon covered everything
"Take good care of him Raf. BumbleBee sometimes needs someone to be with him, and I couldn't have picked a better person than you to be with him Rafael. Take care and enjoy what life has to offer" were the last thing that Raf and BumbleBee heard before the blinding light became engulfing darkness.
BumbleBee stirred when he heard crying. Someone was crying and by the sounds of it; that person or bot was very upset about something…but what?
Bee slowly opened his optics and saw that it was dim in the room; almost completely dark because the lights were set so low.
Bee listened carefully as he slowly got up, trying to pinpoint where the crying was coming from.
"Bee?" asked a small voice and Bee turned in the direction where he had heard the voice come from. There sitting on the floor, curled in a ball with tears running down his face, was Raf.
"Raf" BumbleBee beeped softly as he walked towards him, "What's wrong"
"My family…they…they…they didn't survive, did they Bee?" he sobbed, more tears running down his faceplate.
"Raf…I…I don't know. Maybe they did survive and-"
"And what! How can I live with them even if they did survive! How will my mom still treat me like her son, or my dad, or my brothers and sisters! Huh? What will they do? What will I do!" snapped Raf, his brown optics overflowing with anger and sadness,
"Raf…" Bee chirped sadly as he bent down and pulled him into a hug as Raf began to cry loudly, "You have every right to be upset and anger. But…I will look after you, I promise. If your family did survive, then I will protect them and you"
"And….fi they didn't?" asked Raf, the question that was on their minds now hanged in the air like a noose
"Then…I will do everything to help you cope. You aren't the only one to lose family; I did too. I lost my entire family; my creators, my brother, I lost them too so I know the pain you are in. And I will help you cope; I will be there for you because you are my family Raf and right now; you need all the family you can get"
Raf sobbed into Bee's chest as he whispered "Thank-you" over and over again as Bee held him close to his chest, vowing that he would do everything for Raf; everything and anything to help him and protect him since they were family and family were forever.
A loud knocking interrupted them as light flooded into the room from the hallway as Ratchet stepped.
His optics fell upon the shapes of Bee hugging and Raf crying and his hard blue optics became soft as he walked towards them and bended down.
"How is he?" he whispered softly to BumbleBee, placing a servo on Raf's helm
"Not good" Bee responded
"Hm...Not surprised. He has been through much for someone for his age; for both species. Can you carry him to the control room; I think I might know something that might help in way"
Bee nodded, getting Ratchet's drift as he slowly picked up Raf and followed Ratchet.
"Where…where are we going" he hiccupped, the tears now slowing down
"You aren't as alone as you think Rafael" said Ratchet softly, turning his helm so his gaze would fall upon Raf.
"Huh? What…what do you mean?"
"Just…trust me, alright?"
Raf looked at Raf confused and then at Bee before looking back at Ratchet and responding. "Alright Ratchet, I trust you"
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((+++++++++++++++++++++++++)))))))))))))))))))))))))
