Hi! Thanks for sticking with me so far!
Also, I have to give a huge thanks to Psionic Star for her help with this chapter. Even though she doesn't know it. She helped me with a character name and that saved me a lot of trouble! Thank you Psionic Star!
And you reading this should be thanking her too, because if she didn't help my laziness to look up names, I'd still be writing this chapter. She just hurried up the rest of the story!
Arcee's POV continued...
Jasper's mouth dropped open. "Are you the last?" he asked.
"No, there is one other that I know of. Her name is Thunderblast, but she's a Decepticon. When the war broke out, Cybertronians- that's the lingo for what we are- only focused on making soldiers, so they forgot that they had to make femmes too." I quickly rolled my eyes while grimacing about my ancestor's stupidity.
"So let me see if I know the rest," he said. I imagined the pieces were falling into place for him now, "There is no more All-Spark, meaning no more robots."
I nodded. "Yes, but we do have hope that maybe if a female and male join sparks momentarily, that it will be enough of a jump start for a life source. Our sparks are the blue glowy thing in our chassis. It's equivalent to our hearts."
"So why haven't you tried it with Sunny? You two look like a match, or was that just another scheme?" he pondered.
I opened and closed my mouth. "Well, there is a dangerously high chance that we can kill each other in the process. Implode each other actually. Also, there are... other personal reasons. We are together Sunstreaker and I, but Sunny has a knack for getting me upset a lot." I pursed my lips. I was lost in my own thoughts for a second as I remembered some things about Sunstreaker, so I continued speaking accidentally. "But femmes and males can 'spark-zap' [which is slang] for...uh pleasure."
Hm, that was embarrassing. Why stop now. "But we only quickly tap sparks together, not do what would be needed for a new life." Once again, I caught myself too late. I said 'we' which meant I included myself. Slag. Didn't exaclty want that tid-bit to slip. Too late now idiot. Akward.
"Anyhow, yeah. At least we live really long. Since I'm the only girl, I'm barely ever out of this house, they want to keep me safe. As long as no one extinguishes our sparks, we can live forever. You saw me do that with the grey-bot." I finished, keeping my mouth shut. (Whoo, one in a row!)
He smirked, not really meaning to, "Hey, what did that thing say to you?"
The liquid that acted as my blood flowed down to my 'toes' then flowed back up again to my face. I gently grit my teeth. "He said that they found a new leader. He said that the attack will begin within 96 hours." That only gave us four days. Then I clenched my hands on the sides of my chair and let out a calming breath which turned shaky. "Then he said we were all going to die... except me."
Jasper's eyebrows raised, confused and astonished.
"He went onto say that he liked where he was sitting...he appraised my chassis, and said what he wanted to do to me when everyone was dead." I didn't dare recite the exact words of what that pig said to me, I desperately wanted to keep our conversation 'T for Teen' as the commercials would say.
Jasper looked uncomfortable and a bit confused. I aided him with some answers, "Almost none of the Decepticons get to be with, and much less 'touch' Thunderblast. Only her main guards see her on a daily basis. She is their 'Queen' since Megatron was killed. Blast and Megatron were sort of spark mates." I rolled my eyes, "She only visits other Decepticons when she's uh..." I stopped, searching for appropriate words, "Er, lonely?" that was in simplest terms. She was always 'lonely.' *whore* (Whoops! Remember Arcee: 'T for Teen')
"I can't believe he had the nerve to complement your...chassis." Jasper inserted.
I scoffed, trying to lighten the mood, "Well, maybe I'll give 'em that. You don't know any other femmes than me, but compared to others, I have a very large chassis." I crossed my arms over my chest self-consciously. I waited and let my story sink in for Jasper.
"Later, your gonna have to tell me more about you Jasper. Not now because the boys should be here any moment but sometime."
He opened his mouth to speak, but then suddenly a blood-curdling high pitched , "JASPER!" echoed through my demolished house. We listened to the crash of the front door splinter against the stairs. A woman emerged from the hallway, a golden fire within her eyes. "Where were you? Who is she!?"
The woman who appeared was a breathtakingly beautiful and petite.
"I leave you alone for one hour, and when I come home, oh, your gone! And I have a headache, which makes me deduce that you're with her!" she shrilled, thrusting a finger at me. She talked faster than I thought possible.
What is this girl's problem?
"Alice , honey, I-" he inserted.
"Don't you, 'Alice Honey' me! Why are you here?! Why did you lie!?"
"Alice, this is Arcee, the one I told you about."
The one Jasper called Alice glared at me. I was sitting down, and I was still a bit taller than her. Jasper continued, "Alice, Arcee has these huge cannons and-"
"WHAT!?!?!" she screamed, "She showed you her what now?! Her cannons?"
I stifled a giggle as I understood her mistake. "No, no, no Alice." I tried. "Alice, hi, um, so how do you know Jasper?"
"I'm his soul mate." she said with empathizing the last word. "I see I come up in conversation a lot."
"Okay," I offered calmly, panic rising in my voice because she looked as if she was going to rip my to shreds then make confetti out of the pieces. "Are you like him also?"
"How, do you mean being a vampire? Then yes." she replied, acid in all her words.
"Perfect," I answered cheerfully trying to ease the mood," Then I guess I have to let you in on the secret too."
"What secret?"
Suddenly, her mouth dropped, and her eyes bugged out as Bumblebee climbed halfway into my broken house, (I would have to fix that) in his Autobot form. "Hey guys!"
Alice turned to Jasper.
"Remember the robots I saw the other day, well that was Arcee and her family. I'll update you later."
Alice bobbed her head.
Since you probably didn't read this last chapter:
IMPORTANT!!! I really don't know how transformers are created or the meaning for males and females. I just made it up, but it might be true, who knows, I have to wait for the next movie to find out. And I don't know how long Transformers can live... I'm guessing a long time though.
Finally, I don't know if Thunderblast was the girlfriend of Megatron.
*mirandamaddness- you know where a bit of my inspiration came from...*winks* (inside joke)*
