Chapter 9: Together As One
Optimus began to stand up when I felt an evil presence approach us from the distance. The air got suddenly heavy by static and the Fallen appeared out of nowhere and shoved Optimus back to the ground. Optimus held me protectively when he fell down on his back.
The Fallen slammed his pedes on Optimus's chassis and snatched the Matrix. "My Matrix!"
I was about to poke out my head from Optimus's protective grip when I heard StarDivine let out a battle cry and shoved off the Fallen of Optimus. The sound of metal colliding and human cries filled the air when StarDivine tried to hold down the former Prime, but it was useless since she was smaller than the Fallen and less powerful.
The Fallen pinned down StarDivine with his big arms and spear and growled in her face plates. "You should feel lucky since I did not offline you, femme."
I looked ahead and saw the Matrix lie in the sand out of reach for the Fallen. "Get the Matrix, one of you!" I told the Autobots quickly.
Barricade was the closest one to the Matrix, so he grabbed it before the Fallen could notice he had dropped it. But it didn't last for long. He saw the former Decepticon hold the Matrix in his servo and let out a darker growl than before. He got off StarDivine and hit Barricade's right shoulder with his spear. Barricade let out a roar of pain as he dropped on his knees and let the Matrix fall to the sand.
"Barricade!" Elita One cried out worriedly when she and her two sisters had reached our location.
The Fallen picked up the Matrix before growling to Barricade. "You are a betrayer among us Decepticons." After that, he warped himself back to the pyramid where a big Decepticon had dug out the top of the Star Harvester. That explained the strange vibrations I felt before.
I climbed off from Optimus's grip and got on the sand before running over to StarDivine to see if she was all right. Meanwhile, everyone panicked for the threat coming from the Star Harvester. "Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!" Sam scrambled to Optimus. William cried out orders to hit the top of the pyramid as quickly as the soldiers and the Air Force could.
"Get up, Prime!" Ironhide called.
It didn't go so well for Optimus. He might be back, but he was still weak after being in stasis lock for a while.
"He's turning on the machine! You gotta stop him! Get up!" Sam's voice raised even louder into a distressed scream. "OPTIMUS!"
"Don't yell at Optimus like that!" I shouted angrily at Sam after I had gone through StarDivine to see she had no fatal injuries.
"But this is serious! Our world is doomed!" the boy retorted.
I was still holding the damaged Raising Heart in my hand until I felt something warm coming from her. I held her up and saw the magenta jewel was glowing, but in a stronger light than usual. A cherry blossom magic circle appeared beneath me as my whole body started to glow. Everyone turned their attention to me to see what was happening.
"Raising Heart… What's going on?" I asked her.
"I have copied some of the power of the Matrix of Leadership for an upgrading."
"An upgrading?"
"Call out the command 'Exceed Drive'."
With a raised eyebrow, I held up Raising Heart in the air. "Exceed Drive!"
"Ignition."
A light enveloped my body as I felt the warm feeling surround my body, healing my wounds and injures before I received my new Barrier Jacket.
"Barrier Jacket; Exceed Mode."
The new Barrier Jacket was white like the old one, but it was now a long skirt down to above my ankles, the shoes were sharper, short black socks, the bolero had no ribbon attached on it and was open, and the two white ribbons in my hair were a bit larger than the old ones.
Raising Heart had a new Mode; Exceed Mode. The head looked similarly to Shooting Mode, but it was widened and extended away from the body and the prongs moved closer together. The end result resembled a golden spearhead set with a jewel. The butt of Exceed Mode was equipped with a rocket engine. I noticed Raising Heart had a Cartridge System resembling a rifle magazine. Was it supposed to be a boost-up for the spells?
"Exceed Mode. Stand by. Ready."
I heard everyone around me gasp at my new look, but decided to ignore it. Optimus was still struggling to get up when Jetfire spoke up.
"All my Decepticon life, I never did a thing worth doing until now." His voice sounded almost sad. "Optimus, take my parts and you will have a power you've never known. Fulfill your destiny." The former Decepticon dug his servo into his chassis and tore out his own Spark before collapsing to the ground.
I closed my eyes for a second. *Rest in peace, Jetfire. And thank you for all your help.*
Ratchet was instantly on it. "Jolt! Electrify!" The blue Autobot shot out electrical whips and attached one to Optimus and the other to the fallen seeker. "Transplant those afterburners."
Jetfire's plating started latching onto Optimus, who was now kneeling, including massive weapons and the seeker's wings. Optimus got up slowly as the plating still latched onto him and made sure they sat onto him properly. When the process was done, he activated the jets while looking down at me. "Let's roll."
I nodded and stood ready to receive the wings on my shoes.
"Axel Fin."
Two pair of big cherry blossom wings appeared on the shoes while cherry blossom feathers flew out of them. Together we flew up into the air and headed towards the pyramid and the two Decepticon leaders.
I flew higher up into the air to launch a new spell while Optimus distracted the Decepticons. He flew through the barrier of rocks around the pyramid with ease and tackled the Fallen off the pyramid, making Megatron follow them and ignoring the Star Harvester.
A cherry blossom magic circle appeared beneath me as Raising Heart loaded four cartridges into her system. A few energy wings sprouted from the gaps on her before I took aim at the Star Harvester. "Exelion Buster!"
Several pink loops circled around Raising Heart as she collected energy for the spell. Four spheres of energy appeared in front of my Device. "Break…" The four spheres unleashed four beams, joining together into one while heading towards the Star Harvester. "…Shoot!" The beam blasted through the alien machine, making it explode in a colorful dust that pieced both the machine and pyramid where it had been hidden.
Raising Heart opened the two exhaust valves and blew out hot steam when I turned my head towards the ancient ruins where Sam, Mikaela and I had run through before. Optimus was fighting both the Fallen and Megatron there. I was about to go and help him when I heard him speak in my mind.
"Stay away from here, Stella!"
I stopped in my tracks with confusion. "But Optimus-"
"It's too dangerous for you! Let me handle it!"
I didn't want to argue more, so I ended the discussion. "You better come back this time! Don't you dare leave me again!"
"I promise with my entire Spark, I will return to you."
I turned around and flew back to the ruins of the Star Harvester. I used Raising Heart as a tracking device to find the Matrix among the clutter. Within a minute, Raising Heart found the Matrix several meters buried in the clutter. But that was not a problem. The jewel on Raising Heart glowed as a small pillar of cherry blossom light appeared at the clutter. The junk moved aside before the Matrix floated up in the middle of the pillar of light. I walked up and grabbed gently the Matrix, the pillar of light slowly disappearing after I had the Matrix in my hand. With a slightly nod to myself, I flew back to the destroyed village and met up with Sam, Mikaela, the NEST soldiers and the Autobots. When I reached the group, Sam and Mikaela ran over to me with worried expressions.
"You're okay, Stella?" Sam asked.
I nodded, "I'm all fine." I held up the Matrix. "The Star Harvester is destroyed, but the Matrix is safe and sound."
"How did it manage to survive that strong beam you shot?" Mikaela questioned.
"The Matrix of Leadership has a protective shield around to prevent any magic spells destroy it."
"Okay. That answers my question", Mikaela laughed nervously.
StarDivine walked over to us and knelt down. "Carrier, where is Sire?"
"He's fighting Megatron and the Fallen somewhere over there", I pointed at the direction where the sphinx was. "He told me to stay away from the battle."
"I can imagine it's a rough battle going on there", Sam nodded in understatement.
The soldiers and Autobots used the time to catch their breaths now after the other Decepticons had retreated or been offlined. We waited for Optimus's return while everyone began to take care of the injured ones. Ratchet examined the Autobots and gave them each a small report of what he had to repair when we would return to Diego Garcia.
Sam, Mikaela and I stared towards the sphinx the whole time and waited for Optimus to come back. I could feel his presence so I knew he was still alive. Raising Heart was back in her Standby Mode, but I remained in my Barrier Jacket and had my hair down, letting it ruffle in the wind.
After a while, which felt like hours, I felt Optimus's presence coming closer to us. I took a few steps forward and saw him appear beside the sphinx as he shook off Jetfire's body parts. An outburst of cheers and whistles emerged when everyone saw the mighty Prime. I got tears in my eyes of joy and happiness when I saw him safe and alive. *He kept the promise…*
I turned slowly towards Sam who hugged Mikaela for comfort as she caressed his hair lovingly before Ron and Judy approached them. Sam turned to them and melted into the two parents' arms. I looked up at the distance and saw two figures of humans and two figures of Cybertronians approach the soldiers and Autobots. They were Simmons, Leo and the twins. They were safe too, but we had yet again lost many brave soldiers in this violent battle.
The next thing I knew, Sam pulled Mikaela closer to him and began kissing her. They kissed fiercely yet gently. I chuckled lightly at the scene when I heard large footsteps approach me from behind. I looked up and locked eyes/optics with Optimus. I turned around as he transformed into his Alt mode and activated his Holoform. I ran straight to his open arms and hugged him tightly to me. He placed his arms around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder.
"You came back…", I whispered.
Optimus brushed away the hair from my face before he placed a kiss on my lips. "I promised you, didn't I?" he whispered in my ear.
I nodded, "Yes. I knew you would return, no matter what."
Optimus chuckled and leant in for a deep kiss. I really missed his warmth, his touch, his kisses… I felt so uncompleted without him. Now I finally felt whole. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him for a few seconds before we got interrupted by William who wanted to retreat from Egypt and get away from the terrible climate.
XXXXXXXXXX
We were all on the deck of an aircraft carrier on our way to Diego Garcia with the Autobots in their Alt modes, except Optimus. I told him to bring with us Jetfire's parts as equipment for the future battles. He deserved an upgrade too.
I sat on Optimus's left shoulder as he approached Sam who stood at the edge of the carrier and looked at the horizon. Mikaela, Leo, Simmons and Sam's parents stood several meters from us and watched how Optimus stood beside the young adult.
"Thank you, Sam, for saving my life", the Prime spoke.
"You're welcome", Sam smiled. "Thank you for believing in me."
I smiled down at Sam before I glanced up at Optimus. He turned his helm to me and gave me a warm smile before he looked up at the sky, sending a new message among the Autobots in our team and the ones who were still roaming among the stars.
"Our races united by a history long forgotten and a future we shall face together. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our past will always be remembered, for in those memories, we live on."
XXXXXXXXXX
When we arrived to Diego Garcia, the Autobots went to the medical bay while I and a few soldiers led Sam, his parents, Mikaela, Leo and Simmons to some barracks in the base where they could stay for a few days before they could return to America. Ron and Judy had to go back to Paris to fetch their suitcases from the hotel they were staying in before they got kidnapped.
I went back to my office/apartment and felt relieved to be back home. I put Raising Heart on the nightstand gently before I made my way to the bathroom for a long nice bath. I pulled off my dirty clothes and grabbed some soap to clean my body from the dirt and sand. Then I washed my hair and afterwards relaxed in the bathtub for a while.
I dried myself with a towel and then pulled on me a bathrobe before I put my dirty clothes in the washing machine and used a quick program to wash them. I walked back to my office and sat down on the bed. I let out a sigh and rubbed my forehead.
I glanced at Raising Heart and smiled weakly before I heard a knock from the door. Feeling it was Optimus behind the door; I smiled and walked over to the door. I unlocked it and opened it and, indeed, it was Optimus in his Holoform.
"Come in", I moved out of the way and Optimus walked into my office. I closed the door and locked it before I turned back to Optimus, only to be shoved back to the door. Optimus held my shoulders firmly yet gently and looked deeply into my eyes. I felt the heat rush through my face and smiled as I cupped his face with my hands.
"What's the matter, my Prime?" I whispered as I traced his lips with my thumb.
He smiled as he snuck his arms around my waist and embraced me. "I'm sorry I left you."
I hugged him back and laid my head on his chest with a sigh. "Please, stop with that. It wasn't your fault. Blame Megatron."
"Next time I encounter him, I will make him pay", Optimus growled.
I chuckled lightly. "Then count me in. I'll make sure he will not mess with my mech again."
Optimus pulled me away lightly so he could look in my eyes. "Your mech, you say?"
"Yes, my mech. Who else would be my special mech and favorite Cybertronian?" I asked.
Optimus smirked before scooping me up in his arms and carried me to the bed. He laid me down gently before he crawled at the top of me. We continued kissing for a while until I felt Optimus's hands tug on my bathrobe, but I felt my heart yearning for something else. I pulled away from the kiss for a moment. "Optimus…"
"Yes?" he asked with a confused expression.
I didn't know if I should ask this, but I needed to say it. "Optimus… I…I want to…make love with…your…bipedal Holoform…"
Optimus stared at me with widened eyes. I turned slightly away and blushed a little. I knew he was going to reject my small request, but I really wanted to make love with his true form for my first time. I loved him for the real him, not for his human Holoform.
Optimus coughed loudly and gained my attention. He looked straight in my eyes and seemed hesitant. "I…I am not sure if we can interface with the bipedal Holoform."
I tilted my head in confusion. "Because we are two different species?"
"Yes, and I'm afraid I might hurt you during interfa-"
I placed a point finger on his lips to silent him with a small smile on my lips. "Optimus, I love you and I want the real you. You know we can stop anytime when I feel it hurts too much." I caressed his face lovingly. "Please, Optimus. I want the real you."
Optimus sighed through his nose, but looked at me with a smile. "All right… If you insist."
I nodded as answer. Optimus sat up on his knees and closed his eyes before his Holoform got enveloped with a bright blue color and changed shape. In the next few seconds, the bipedal Holoform of Optimus Prime sat in front of me. He onlined his optics and adjusted them for a moment before he glanced down and leant over me, placing his servos on the bed either side of my head.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw him in his bipedal Holoform. I reached out my hand and placed it gently on his cheek plates. I heard him purr by the touch and leaned his face on my hand.
"My Spark…", Optimus murmured before he captured my lips with his lips plates in a fiery kiss. I placed my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss with passion while I felt him play with my bathrobe. He took it off gently of me and stared at my naked body for a moment. It made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable for a few seconds, but his smile made me relax. He began to kiss down my neck to my collarbone and my right shoulder. He nibbled my neck and sucked on the small bite marks as his servos caressed my sides, making me shiver and moan in delight.
I led my hands to his neck and caressed the wires gently, receiving groans from Optimus. His mouth suddenly went down to my left breast and felt his glossa tease my nipple. I moaned loudly and grabbed his helm. I could feel myself getting hot already.
"O…Optimus…", I panted lightly. He let go of my breast and looked at me with love and lust in his optics, the color of his optics slowly turning into lavender. I heard a strange sound from him, like a metal portal opening before I felt something poke my leg. Curiously, I glanced downwards to see his…cable?
His "penis" was a thick silicon cable and the head of it was shaped as an aero plane's nose and had the color of Energon. Then I remembered one of Ratchet's lessons about Cybertronian anatomy and learned the mechs' penises were called interface cable or spike.
I felt Optimus's servos slide down to my thighs and caressed them while I moved my hands to his chassis and scratched them lightly.
"S-Stella…", he panted in arousal.
I knew he couldn't hold himself back, so I nodded. I was ready for my first time, with Optimus in his bipedal Holoform.
I felt the head of his spike slide inside me slowly and I grunted a bit in pain while I grabbed the bed sheets. He was larger than I thought. I felt the tip of his spike poke my hymen before it ripped my innocence apart, making me cry out a bit. Optimus hushed me and comforted me by placing soft kisses on my neck. I let a few tears escape my eyelids as I felt the pain in my lower region, but it turned slowly into something warm and aching. I sighed in relief when I felt Optimus push the rest of him inside me. I looked up at Optimus with a smile and pulled his helm down to kiss him. He replied the kiss and slowly began to thrust inside me.
It was the most incredible feeling ever. I just couldn't describe it. I held Optimus close to my body as we moved in a perfect rhythm. His metal frame felt uncomfortable against my skin at first, but I got used to it.
Our moans and pants echoed around us and I felt the sweat run down my body. Optimus's lips plates kissed my neck when I felt I couldn't hold back anymore. Optimus seemed to notice it because he increased his pace a little.
When we reached orgasm, we screamed each other's name and collapsed on the bed. The feeling of Optimus's warm transfluid inside me was a bit strange, but comfortable. Said mech laid beside me so he wouldn't crush me by his weight. He sneaked an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I sighed happily and laid my head on his shoulder. "Optimus… that was…incredible…", I breathed.
I heard him chuckle and place a kiss on my forehead. "Indeed, it was… I just hope I didn't hurt you."
I shook my head slightly while I felt the sleep taking over me. "No, not at all. It felt…even better than…I thought…" I fell asleep and enjoyed the moment I had with Optimus. He was back and the Fallen was defeated, but Megatron was still somewhere out there preparing for a new attack anytime.
We had to stay alert and protect Earth with the Autobots and the future mages I planned to recruit soon, very soon.
