I do not own any of the Transformers, I just love to write about them. Enjoy!
This part of the chapter may have references back to my first story . It can stand on its own, but for better understanding, you may need to read the first story.
Allie, Stargazer, Raynie and Mia arrived at the Decepticon base. Allie was surprised that as barren as it was, they had actually turned it into a half way decent place that would accommodate the femmes with some ease. Granted, it was not the hangar and it did not have the comforts that Optimus and the Autobots liked, but at least they weren't going to be tortured by harsh heat or freeze in the cold. She could see that Starscream had set up a main computer to maintain communications, and Soundwave had established a contact center for the remaining Decepticons. Allie and the femmes took all this in and recorded it in their CPU's although outwardly they tried to remain as emotionally air headed as possible to prevent any suspicion. Allie made sure to touch each con so that she could get a reading from them. It was a special talent of hers and although at times to much sensation or information caused her to short circuit at times, such as finding out about Jazz and all her memories coming in at once, she was very good at deciphering it and picking out the important information. Right now, she knew that she could get Starscream drunk on energon, Thundercracker's CPU was scary even on a good day, and Skywarp only had his berth and Raynie in his CPU. This was a good sign as she commed her info to the femmes and they acknowledged. The only one that would be a problem would be Soundwave. She could not get a reading off him, and even wondered if the large silent mech has a sixth sense of his own. Regardless of the challenge, Allie was up to it.
Star batted her lashes at Skywarp and pouted up to him. "Can a femme get something to drink? Pretty please?" Skywarp looked at Starscream for confirmation. He nodded his head and Skywarp poured Star a small energon cube. She took it smiling coyly at him and thanked him for his kindness. Raynie cuddled up to Skywarp and Allie thought that he was going to blow a circuit. His hands went to her aft and Allie had to smile at how predictable interfaced starved mechs were. She felt Starscream walk up to her back and she turned and smiled. She never realized just how hard this was going to be, but she kept as much emotions out of her eyes and face as she could.
"It is a shame that you true form is covered by this hideous fleshy covering." He took her hand in his talons and stretched her arm. Allie watched, careful not to give in to the nervousness that she felt. She knew that he would scan her spark, and she trained herself to feel nothing so that he would not be suspicious. He smelled the perfume that she had adorned that morning, and he felt her arm, touching the flesh, and pressing. Allie remembered that Starscream's profession before the war had been of science, and she wondered if she could appeal to his calculating mind.
"You know, Starscream, I would be happy to let you examine me later." She smiled at him as he looked at her face, trying to detect any deceit or betrayal. His face went to her throat and he inhaled her scent into his vents to scan. She was very striking for a femme cloaked in human flesh. Although he did not hold humans in very high regards, he did find the femmes interesting to study. Humans were small and easily squished. These femmes were not. He pulled her closer until he heard a oops and an explosion and turned to see that the smaller dark haired one had tripped and her energon drink had spilt into the main computer. Her look of horror was due to the circuits frying from contact with the drink.
"I'm so sorry, my lord. I didn't mean it. I am so clumsy. Here let me help clean it up." The more Star tried to clean it, the more it spread until the entire unit was completely fried. Soundwave pushed her out of the way ignoring Star's "How rude," remark and shut the computer down before the cons completely lost the unit. "Score a point for the femmes" Allie thought to herself. Allie looked at Raynie to see that she was wasting no time in setting Skywarp up. Mia was flirting with Thundercracker, although Allie had warned her of his mean streak, and pretending to enjoy his lewd remarks. When Mia tripped him up and he landed hard on his aft, it took all Allie could do to hold it in. Star seemed a bit lost due to her lack of experience, but Soundwave took her under his wing and sat her down with him. Star looked at Allie but Allie gave her the thumbs up which Soundwave took as an okay. He started to touch her face and arms, but was content to just watch and touch her. Allie turned back to Starscream. "Is this all going to be a gang bang kind of thing, or do you keep private quarters?" She slyly asked. Allie wanted to get the layout of their base so that if the need for escape were to come they would have a chance.
"We do have quarters, but there are so few of us right now. Maybe that can change now that you have joined us." Starscream remarked.
"When do we eat? I am so hungry." Star was so good at wining out the so hungry part, and Mia winced at her shrilling tone. Allie thought Soundwave was going to curl up in a fetal position, and even Thundercracker jumped at her words. Mia chimed in, "Yes when do we eat? Ironhide was so angry that I wanted to leave that he didn't even feed me. Please, my stomach is just rumbling." In truth Allie's and the femmes makeup could go days, even weeks without food, but the cons didn't know that. The femmes joined in with gusto wining and crying that they had not been properly fed until Starscream ordered Skywarp and Thundercracker to find them something to eat. Grumbling, the mechs left to fetch food while the femmes kept wining and crying until Starscream thought he was going to lose his CPU. Soundwave had left to hide in his quarters. He terribly missed ravage and frenzy and having the femmes here only reminded him of his lost love, Cassie.
When Skywarp and Thundercracker returned the femmes squealed so loud that Starscream thought about turning his audial receptors off and Skywarp wondered if they had made the right decision about bringing them here. The femmes tore into the food until Allie cried in horror about having an allergy to peanuts, and Mia started crying that she couldn't eat nuts at all, then Star started fretting because she didn't know if she had allergies, and even Raynie started to cry. By the end of the night, Starscream had put the femmes in his quarters and he bunked with Skywarp just to get away from them.
Optimus could not recharge. He lay on his berth trying to connect with Allie, but she was not receiving and her worried that she was hurt. He would destroy any mech, con or not, that decided to take liberties with her, and it was driving his CPU crazy to think that she was spending a night on earth away from him. He was angry that she willingly chose to put herself in danger, never mind that she was a warrior and was in danger in the Realm, but it still did not sit well with his spark that she would choose to do this. He knew that Ironhide was angry with him for allowing them to leave, and even Sunstreaker tried to take a swing at him when Jolt had patched him up. Bumblebee didn't say anything, he just went to his quarters, and the entire base was quiet, waiting for word concerning the femmes.
"Any word through your bond?" It was Ironhide.
"No, nothing." Optimus was angry with himself. He should have never done this.
The next morning, Allie woke up in cramped quarters and remembered where she was. Day two. Wondering what was on the agenda, she quietly got dressed wrinkling her nose due to lack of a shower, and peeked he head out the door. Everything was quiet. Allie tipped toed out into the small hallway and walked into the main area. Thundercracker must have been on duty because he was recharging in the corner. Allie looked carefully, trying to memorize anything that could assist the Autobots. She sent images through the bond to Optimus. The layout of the small base, any schematics to plans that the cons had, and she even found the data pad that told where they were getting their energon. Allie quickly processed all of this and sent it to Optimus. She went back to Starscream's quarters to get the others up and ready for another day of trouble for the cons.
Optimus received the information through the bond early in the morning. He sent it to Colonel Lennox so that they could begin tracking the oil barren that was assisting the cons. As much as Optimus worried about the femmes, the information that Allie sent was indeed valuable. She also sent word that they were fine, although she wondered about the con's sanity, and even Optimus laughed at the images that Allie sent of their failed computer and the wining fit the femmes had displayed to dispel the mechs amorous attentions. He imparted the news to Sunstreaker and Ironhide that Allie had contacted him and that they were in good health.
Soundwave had just managed to get their defense computer working again when Raynie walked in. Skywarp was sitting in the corner, watching for any movement on the screen, and monitoring base activity. Raynie said good morning to both mechs, and skipped over to Skywarp, but then tripped over his feet and slammed into the computer. She hit it so hard that she jammed two of the keys causing the screen to go crazy. Soundwave looked like he was going to kill Raynie, but she began to cry and Skywarp took her in his arms to comfort her and protect her from the large dark mech. Allie just inwardly rolled her eyes at the display. Maybe Raynie would make it to Skywarp's berth by nightfall.
Starscream chose that moment to walk in and see what the commotion was about. When he saw that the computer was down again he just shook his head. Thundercracker had gone and brought back melons for the femmes. It seemed that he had made himself the unofficial food bearer. Allie thought it was to keep them from wining and fighting again. Soundwave was the only anomaly in the group of cons that concerned Allie although last night she sensed something in him, but she couldn't put her finger on it yet. Each time she would try to get close, but he never allowed her to touch him. It was frustrating for Allie, but she sense that he held back. What would it take to crack his armor? Allie was determined to try. All in all, they had been treated well. The mechs had a goal, but were content to play along with the femmes pace. Maybe they wanted to court the Autobots claimed.
About midmorning, the femmes got into a fight about who was the best mech and Allie had to commend her girls for being so loud and lavish. They pretended to be upset and pair off into the corners of the base while the mechs looked on disbelievingly. Starscream could not believe how much drama went on with femmes on base, Thundercracker just held his hands to his audial receptors, and Skywarp hid away from the femmes all together.
When the second night fell, Raynie cuddled up to Skywarp again hoping that he would take her to his quarters. She had her bag ready and she knew that the only thing that they needed was the technology that Skywarp had and the femme's mission would be complete. Raynie did everything in her wiles that she could think of. She touched him all around his chest and arms. She rubbed up against him. She used every tactic she could think of. When he stood and pulled her in his arms, Raynie smiled at Allie as he carried her off to his quarters. Allie was well on her way to getting Starscream drunk. Thunder cracker was not far behind Starscream, and even Soundwave was enjoying some energon. It was at that moment that Allie crouched down next to him and looked him in the optics.
"I can figure everyone out except you. What is it you want from us?" Allie asked.
" I know who you are, and who you are bonded to. If Megatron were here, you would be offlined."
"Well then, why don't you do it?"
"Because I want one thing from you." Allie watched him watch her. "Is Cassie alive?"
Allie pondered his question. If she said yes he would look for Cassie, but to say no would have repercussions too. Allie decided for the truth. "Soundwave, she is with us. She heads the orphanage in the Realm." Soundwave looked down and was very still and quiet. Finally Allie heard a quiet, "thank you." She reached out and touched the mech and then she knew that although species came in many different forms, biologic or not, telekinesis can transcend any species. Soundwave could read her, but chose not to; just as Allie could read him, but chose not to.
Allie commed Raynie to check on her. Raynie commed that she was fine. She sent an image of Skywarp chained to the berth with Raynie on top teasing him mercilessly. She was nipping at his armor, and teasing him at his neck when Allie saw her reach down and cut his vocal sensor off. Raynie left Skywarp chained with no way of yelling out, and she was working on blocking his internal com. Once she had him incapacitated, she went to work on finding his warp unit. Once she found it, Raynie took a knife and cut it out. Skywarp was left in terror of Raynie as she kissed him sweetly on the lip plates, caressed his crotch plate, made her a bed on the floor, turned the lights out, and went to sleep. She left Skywarp chained helpless to his berth, and did not give him a second thought.
Mia and Allie had made sure that Starscream and Thundercracker were incapacitated, they were too drunk, even as Starscream led all of them to his quarters, and as the mechs passed out, Allie and Mia laid down to recharge on the berth as the mechs were too drunk to make it to the berth. Star laid her head on Soundwave's lap and fell into recharge. He didn't mind because she reminded him of Ravage, and he let her stay with him.
Once again, Optimus found that he could not recharge. Ironhide had not even come in from the night, and Sunstreaker, who had just been discharged from medbay, did not speak to Optimus. Lennox was impressed with the information that Allie had sent, and even Optimus had to acknowledge that the femmes had done well. Now he wondered how they were going to escape. He worried that Allie did not make contact or at least tell him she was okay so he wouldn't worry. It made him angry that he couldn't control how he felt about the entire situation, never mind that he had given his word to Alpha Trion. Optimus lay on his berth stewing and feeling helpless.
Allie woke up to a hand touching her leg. She looked over to see Mia in recharge. "Good morning." Starscream had gotten up during the night and lay down between the femmes. At least nothing had happened, but Allie played along. "Good morning yourself." She smiled at him, and he slowly trailed his talon up her leg. Allie was wracking her CPU on how to get out of this one as she felt him caress her aft. "Don't panic or Optimus will know." Was the only thought she could process.
"Mia, Mia wake up!
"Raynie, get up! I need a distraction quick!"
"Star, are you up?"
Damn, that energon should have kept him down and out, but Allie must have misjudged the potency. She felt his talon slide up to her back and she shivered. She touched him lightly to keep him from suspecting that she did not want this, but it was getting harder to keep up the pretense.
"Raynie, come on get up!"
"Allie? What time is it?"
"Forget the time, I need a distraction as in a bomb or explosion!" Allie sent her an image of what was going on, and Raynie immediately went into action. She took one of Skywarp's cannons and snuck out, pointed it at the main computer that Soundwave just fixed and fired.
"Thank you Raynie. Now get out of there. He's running out the door now!" But Raynie was already nowhere to be found.
Later that morning…
"Starscream, we cannot find Skywarp anywhere, and he's not answering his internal com."
"Soundwave reporting, the computer is completely down, and we are out of parts for repair."
"Thundercracker reporting, there has been an explosion at the oil field and production has slowed down. They believe that N.E.S.T. has found out about our secret alliance and have given rebels money and supplies to fight against our human allies."
Starscream looked at his options. Since the femmes had come to stay, they had had one disaster after another. He still couldn't believe that the master computer was permanently down, and no one saw what caused the explosion. Thundercracker had found leaks in other areas of the base, the femmes complained daily about food, and he couldn't take it anymore. With one last disgusted look at the fried computer Starscream made a decision.
It was after the human's lunchtime that the call came in. Optimus was finishing his reports from the morning patrol when Hound commed him. Optimus walked to the main hangar and stopped at the command center as Lennox patched the communications over the speaker.
"Optimus Prime, this is Starscream. We would like to offer a trade."
