Sorry bout the long wait... i had tons of other crap on my mind

Chapter 10

Silence erupted inside the cell... Streak stared at the hopeful gaze of his mate, utterly astonished.

"W-what?" he asked, his optics wide.

"Neverneededmetorepeatanythingbefore..." Blurr replied softly, his head lowering slightly in despair. Streak smiled slightly, using two of his fingers to lift the pale blue face of the mech he loved in order to press his lips gently onto Blurrs, who blinked once before wrapping his arms around the younger mechs waist.

"You know... i'm glad you asked me that," Streak smiled as he rested his forehead against Blurrs.

"Why?" Blurr asked with a small smile

"... Cause now i have something to look forward to... for when we get outta here," he grinned then tackled his mate in a crushing hug, the torturous pain which had filled his body prior, immediately disappearing from his processor and spark as his mate let out a brief 'oof'.

Blackarachnia watched the interaction with a small smile as she sneakily made her way towards the control panels, having freed herself from being held in isolation for her compassionate act. Reaching the controls she explored the panels before starting to type out commands, trying to find the right one to do what she wanted.

"And what do you think YOU'RE doing?" came a sneer from behind her, a scowl etched its way onto her faceplates as she turned to face the purple and blue femme clone.

"What's it to you?" Blackarachnia asked, narrowing her four optics.

"Looks like you're trying to free them..." she let out a quiet 'tut' before lunging. Blackarachnia dodged the attack with speed and grace, grabbing Overlords arm and swinging her around into the wall.

"You're useless, utterly just plain useless," Blackarachnia rolled her optics before slamming the femme down onto the control panel "now unlock the cell before i rip that ugly head of yours out of its socket," she hissed angrily.

"You traitor," Overlord struggled

"...I was always an Autobot... i just needed to see it," Blackarachnia growled and pressed her claws into the clones arm, ensuing a yelp of pain from her throat. "Now type in the command!" she ordered. Reluctantly, the clone typed in the command, as soon as the sound of energy bars powering down filled the base. "Now..." Blackarachnia smirked before shooting her pincers at the femme. A pained scream flowed through the base before silence once again succumbed. Blackarachnia ran down to the cells to find Blurr and Streak staring at the once energy bar covered opening in shock.

"C'mon you two, no time to catch flies!" Blackarachnia hissed as she made a 'move it' motion with her hand. Blurrs face cracked into a grin as he picked his bond-mate to be up and sped out the cavern, Blackarachnia running out the base after them.

"Why'dyouhelp?!" Blurr asked, stopping for a moment to let her catch up

"The kid promised to help me... besides, the way they treat younglings is terrible," she growled slightly before walking closer to Streak. The young bot had been through so much... in so little time, he'd passed out completely in the larger mechs arms. "He really is young... isn't he...?" Blackarachnia sighed

"Yeah...yeahheis... andilovehim," Blurr smiled, pressing a soft kiss to the younger mechs helm.

"Well, let's not stand here all day, Autobot... let's get outta here," Blackarachnia smiled and continued to run; Blurr shrugged and followed her with ease.

-------------------

"Prime!! Blurr and Streak have re-appeared on my scanners!" Ratchet yelled as he magnetized Cyclonus's head into a wall... repeatedly, hearing the repeated 'ouch' was enough to set the twins into a hysterical laughing fit.

"Where?!" Optimus growled; his voice strained from holding Megatron's arms just away from bludgeoning his head.

"Due north!" Ratchet replied as Megatron growled and looked towards the forests and sure enough, a blue blurr was getting closer and closer by the passing second. Megatron looked up to see the seekers quickly losing the battle of 'distract the seekers' with the Twins (the game they played with the Dinobots!), looking around at the scene once again he snarled and knocked Optimus out the way, and they were so close to....

"DECEPTICONS, RETREAT!!" he yelled, all Decepticons present immediately scat, leaving everyone kinda confused, that was until Blurr shot past them with Streak in his arms.

".... Was he unconscious?" Ratchet asked with narrowed optics

"Yeah," Blackarachnia panted as she followed him, immediately all guns and other various weapons were aimed at her ('cept for Optimus who was just shockered).

"LeaveheraloneshesavedbothmeandStreak," Blurr grumbled as she smiled slightly in thankfulness, getting a nod from Blurr. Optimus walked closer to the purple and black femme, she instantly went on the defensive and hissed at him. Blurr instantaneously moved in front of her quicker than anyone could react to and put his hands up in defence for the femme.

"Let'sjustgetinside. RatchetStreakwon'twakeup," Blurr spoke urgently. Instantly Ratchet ran inside the plant, Blurr following.

"Blackarachnia..." Optimus sighed as she lowered her head "come on," he sighed, taking her hand cautiously, not wanting a repeat of the last time he got close to her.

"... You're gonna let me?" she asked, her four optics widening

"Well i'm not leaving you out here, that's for sure," he smiled slightly and led her inside the plant, which the Cons had come VERY close too.

"What happened while you were captured?!" Ratchet asked as he scanned Streaks frame.

"I-idontknow!" Blurr cried frantically

"The youngling was introduced to high levels of electricity, continuously fired through his circuits until Megatron said to stop... that took about 10 minutes to get him to do... the voltage was at least 3000," Blackarachnia explained "i tried to re-do the dials down to 1000 where it wouldn't do much, but that little slaggin femme clone of Starscream's noticed the changes and altered them again... i'm sorry," she finished, her hands down in front, clasped together in a sign of regret.

"... At least you tried," Ratchet grumbled as he removed the young mechs chest armour and scanned the damages "... primus half the wiring is melted!" he yelped

"Heseemedfinewhileweweregettingoutofthere!!" Blurr gasped, clutching his young mates' limp hand.

"Well he isn't!" Ratchet growled back and went to work, trying to fix the young mech before his spark permanently... faded. "His spark is fluctuating at erratic levels. Ok i want everyone out IMMEDIATELY!" Ratchet ordered, pushing everyone out with his magnets, even Blurr was launched out the room, even as he tried to get back in the door slammed shut before he could.

"LEMMEIN!!" Blurr yelled, pounding at the door.

"Mr Blurr sir, please be stopping" Jetfire pleaded, pulling him away from the door

"It wouldn't be helping him," Jetstorm placed a hand on the recon officers' shoulder in comfort.

"GUYS!" Bumblebee yelled as he drove back into the plant, opening his doors letting the 3 human females inside, out and transforming.

"We saw everything, it was so cool what you did; I mean with the guns and the fighting and the-.... what's wrong?" Meg asked, immediately noticing the depressed look Blurr was supporting, and the saddened expression of most the bots present.

"...Streak... he's been hurt" Optimus sighed and picked up the two normal human females "maybe it's best if you two went home for today," he spoke softly, obviously impacted on the news of what had happened to the second youngest of the team.

"W-wait, what happened to him?!" Chel asked in shock, panic practically written across her face.

"He... he was tortured by the Cons," Optimus explained before putting them down on the ground outside the plant "Jazz, could you take them home please?" he asked, getting a nod from the Elite Cyber ninja as he walked over

"Sure thing, OP..." he replied before executing his transformation sequence

"Wait, we wanna stay, we've made friends with Blurr and Streak too you know, shouldn't we be able to decide if we wanna stay to see if he's ok or not?!" Meg asked defiantly, finally showing an anger streak which she'd expertly hid since she'd arrived there. Jazz transformed back into his bot mode and looked down at the young brunette in shock, as did Optimus.

"... You're right yes... but we cannot keep you away from your families," Optimus finally replied slowly, his optics locked on her defiant eyes.

"We're old enough and dumb enough to be out for longer than this, besides, we have phones" Chel grumbled and flipped out her mobile and dialled a number, Meg followed suit and phoned their parents.

"Hmm... dumb enough alright," Optimus grumbled under his breath as he walked back over to the frantic recon officer. Prowl and Jazz nodded to each other in understanding

"It's best you come with us you two," Prowl sighed as he knelt down next to the two girls and held out his hand, they eagerly climbed on and held onto his fingers as he lifted them up. Prowl then proceeded to take the young females into Prowl's room, Jazz following to keep them company.

"We'll tell you when he wakes up..." Bumblebee sighed as he walked closer to Blurr.

"Please be coming Sari," Jetfire sighed and picked the techno organic up, he then proceeded to walk to the couch and curl up on it, holding her close; almost protectively.

"... Are you ok Jetfire?" Sari asked concerned, placing a hand on the young mechs cheek, instantly realizing he didn't want anything to happen to her... ever. "Aww... it's ok, everything'll be ok" she sighed and hugged him, Jetstorm watched the interaction with a small smile... at least there was some innocence in the world.

"Blurr..." Ratchet spoke as he walked out of the med bay, a cleaning cloth in his hands as he wiped away dried energon.

"... Yes?" Blurr asked, hope rising in his tone of voice.

"Streak's spark is stable... but yours being frantic is putting it out of whack, get your aft in there before i question WHY it's doing that," Ratchet grumbled irritatedly. Almost instantly the blue mech was in the med-bay, curled up next to Streak and holding him close to his own body, nuzzling against the young mechs neck lovingly.

"... Their sparks are linked," Blackarachnia sighed "hence why the cons took Streak... they needed Blurr out of the picture to actually get close, their sparks feel each other's pain, sadness, happiness, fear... pleasure, they're conjoined," she explained, softly, watching Blurr huggle his unconscious mate.

"Well, didn't know that still happened..." Ratchet frowned

"These two must have been the last of the conjoiners... but they are, they're meant for each other, it's obvious," Blackarachnia smiled slightly, leaning against the wall.

"So what inspired your change of faction?" Bumblebee asked curiously, her only answer was a nod in Streak's direction. "Streak?" Bee asked curiously

"... He offered to try and help me... i realized Cons were heartless... i mean they could do that to him... he's just a kid," she mumbled the last bit, Optimus frowned and moved closer.

"How will he help you?" Optimus asked

"He said he could get Wheeljack and Perceptor to help re-build my old body, and he'd perform a spark transfer... to get my body back" She explained simply, shrugging her shoulders as if it was obvious.

"And you're going to let two scientists get near you?" Optimus questioned, shocked by the new idea she had, as she was dead set against any scientist getting near her!

"He promised they wouldn't harm me," she replied curtly "and when a youngling promises... you know they tell the truth." She finished.

"Optimus?" Blurr asked, slowly walking out of the med-bay

"Yes Blurr?" Optimus responded, looking towards the blue speedster curiously.

"... Whenhewakes, iwannatakehimhome... Earthwasneveraplaceforhim" Blurr explained softly before walking back over to the unconscious mech and entwining their hands as he sat beside him.

"... Ok Blurr." Optimus sighed then walked off to make the call.
