Chapter 10.- Betrayed

Recap-

They didn't say much, but my dad walked over to me and I stepped onto his hand. He did the closest thing he could to a hug in this form. Bringing me up to his chest, with both hands and curling his fingers around me.

"It will be okay sweetspark."

I could tell they were all sad. Why, I didn't know. I was back now, wasn't I?

They all looked at eachother.

"We have somethin' to tell ya' Shorty..."

I looked down at Rose. We were highly confused.

"What Crimson Rose meant by saying that "You ruined her life"... She was talking about us. Me in particular." Optimus said.

"What do you mean?" I had a bad feeling about this...

He sighed.

"What your sire means, is that she caused a lot of havoc on Cybertron. Lets just say, you can't trust history." Ironhide grunted. Obviously frustrated.

Chapter song Kiss - Betrayed

"Many Vorns ago, Crimson Rose had a different designation. Shadebite was her name. She was on the side of good, an Autobot. Shadebite and I were sparkmates... And eventually, had a sparkling together. Many Stellar cycle's (years) later, we, Jazz, Ratchet and I noticed something was off.

She kept disapearing at the oddest of times. We eventually discovered that she turned on us and decided to join Megatron.

My sparkling was no longer safe. So I sent her off to Earth with one of my closest friends and comrades, Mercy. Mercy would keep my Sparkling SpiritBlaze safe. Of that I was certain." Optimus explained.

"Sparkling.. Mercy, Shadebite.. Deceptions." I was muttering under my breath.

"So, wait. Who's SpiritBlaze and Mercy?" Rose asked.

"SpiritBlaze would be you, my dear Elianna. And Mercy... Is Kiera." Optimus my dad explained.

My head snapped up. "No. Way. So, you're saying.. That Mercy adopted me? That... I'm the daughter of... of... Her!?

Then If that's true. Aren't I Cybertronian like you guys? And if I am, why am I human?" I said, gestering to my body.

I was in shock.

I refused to believe I was a daughter of a villian, one that tried to kill me no less!

"We were able to make it so that you and Mercy would be able to survive on Earth, Elianna, to look human.

And not become Cybertronian until we all met again. A very complicated process." Explained Ratchet.

I was still sitting on my dad's hand- "Put me down." I ordered.

Once I was in the ground, I ran. Out of the room. Where I don't know - didn't care at this point.

'I'm a Cybertronian.. Adopted, and a daughter of a villian. My life has been a lie.'

I heard footsteps coming up behind me. "Please, go away." I said through tears.

"It'll be oka' Anna, I promise." Jazz hugged me in his holoform.

I cried into his shirt.

"How? My life has turned completely upside down!"

"A'm gon' be here with yah every step of tha way, shorty. Don' worry."

"I can't believe that Kiera didn't say something.. What do I even call her now!?"

"She's still your mom, ya' grew up with 'er!" Jazz said.

He led me to the rec. room.

"What was Crimson like when she was an Autobot?" I couldn't help but ask.

"She... Was different. A warrior, ya' inherrited 'er warrior trait. She liked tah wander off alo', for joors at a time... Eh, I mean hours. Tha's how we noticed something was off. ShadeBite spent three Orbital Cycle's... Three day's away from your sire an' you. We tracked 'er down. She was plannin' somethin', tha's the most she ever spent away from ya' two. It wasn't natural. Tha's when we we decided to send ya' off with one of our most trusted Autobots, Mercy, you'r mom." Jazz explained.

"I just don't get it, how could any parent do that, Jazz? Abandon their child?" I asked as we reached the rec room.

"Tha' I don't know, Anna. But, I do know is tha' it killed Optimus to be away from yah."

My eyebrows furrowed. "Well, at least one parent cares..." I muttered.

"You'll never be alone, Anna remember tha'." Jazz replied.

"We best get you back to the Hatchet soon, I suspect he'll want to run some tests." Jazz thought.

"Do I have to, Jazz? I really don't wanna go back in their!"

"Yah may not be Cybertronian yet, so luckily no wrenches for you! But if you don' come soon the Hatchet will think of something to do tah yah!"

That, confused me. 'Wrenches?'

"What do you mean by 'wrenches', Jazz?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The Hatchet likes to throw wrenches when he's...displeased, or grumpy." Jazz explained.

"Ah. Now that makes sense...?" I questioned.

"Are yah ready to head back, Elianna?"

I grumbled. "No..." But got on his hand anyway.

A few minutes later, we reached the doors to the Med Bay, much to my dislike. Don't get me wrong I like Ratchet, especially for keeping me alive. Its just... What transpired in here awhile ago, and over the past three months. Had me uneasy. - And the thought of running tests, that sent a wave of shivers down my spine.

"Yah oka' shorty?" Jazz asked.

"Mmm, I 'spose...Just a bit uneasy on what the doc bot will find." I answered.

"Whatever it is, we'll deal with it tahgether, got it? Remember what I said, you'll never be alone."

I nodded. "Right, lets get this over with then, shall we?"

And so, we entered the Med Bay...To find it nearly empty...

'Where is everyone?' I thought.

Ratchet cleared his voice, "If you're wondering where everyone is...they decided to give you some space."

"Ah..."

"Now then, would you be so kind to put Elianna on a berth for me, Jazz?" Ratchet asked.

I gulped. I detested doctors, of any kind. Bad experiences.

"Uhm, before you begin...Ratchet, what exactly are you going to be doing?" I asked hesitantly.

"Just the usual scans to see how your body is functioning, possibly a few other things - depending on how your body reacts to those. Nothing major. You'll most likely start the process of turning into one of us soon, Elianna." He explained.

"Okay then... That doesn't sound too bad." I replied.

"It sounds as if you've had a bad experience with a doctor in the past...?" Ratchet asked.

"Yes, quite a few actually. That's a story for another time, however."

So, after Jazz was kicked out of the Med Bay, Ratchet started the scans.

A few things were discovered, I should start my transformation within the month, "it'll be extremely painful.", Ratchet informed me, and I'd most likely gain a few more powers - how he got that information from his scans? I have no idea whatsoever.

So, as expected I was held up in Ratchet's Med Bay for most of the month. He was being the ever 'over protective Ratchet' And he was right - it was extremely painful. My heart was now a spark, my limbs were slowly turning into metal, and at points my screams could be heard throughout the base, and it had people - and bots alike running in to see what had happened, out of concern.

At one point, I finally had enough of the pain and all but snapped at Ratchet "If you can, give me some kind of bloody anesthesia to put me out!"

I was nearly positive that I could still continue my transformation while I was 'out'.

He sighed, irritated. "Alright, but it may slow the process.."

"Just do it, Ratchet, please." I begged.

"I'll inform the others of your decision, so they may visit."

I nodded.

A few moments later, a IV was being inserted into my arm, with the said anesthesia. 'Thank God...Hopefully when I wake up, there will be no more pain!'

A month later, (according to the calendar on the wall) I had woken up - stiff as could be. I was now a full Cybertronian, no longer of the human race.

I slowly opened my optics, looking around for the Doc Bot. He was filling a shelf in the corner of the room with viles and other equipment.

A devious grin spread on my face... "Hey Ratch'!" I nearly yelled.

He jumped, spilling, and breaking several things - all the while cursing in our native language.

I laughed my now sounding metallic laughter. 'Wow, thats odd...'

"So, I see you're finally awake." He stated.

I started to sit up, only to have this annoying red warning blink across my optics, in the shape of a cube. I tried to foolishly shake my head free of it.

"Ratch' why am I getting a really annoying red warning symbol in my vision?"

"That, would be your HUD. What does it look like?"

"A cube."

He chuckled. "Well, it's a warning that you're low on Energon."

"So I can't eat human food now?" I asked, curious.

"Well, once I get your holo-form set up you can, but it'll be tasteless. Otherwise it's only energon, Elianna."

"Great..." I grumbled.

He proceeded to get this 'energon' for me, out of storage.

"Thanks, Ratchet."

"Fair warning, it will take some time to get use to."

So, how do yah like the story so far?
