Chapter 21

Death

Megatron started laughing seeing Optimus Prime unconscious. Of course he would have to wait until he was awake to kill him. He looked over at Blackarachnia and said, "Don't kill her yet…kill her when he's away so he can watch his love die in front of his optics."

Blackarachnia looked at him and sighed. Her pulled her fangs back away from Veronica's flesh and scooted her aside so that she wouldn't be tempted. She wanted to take away the human female's life so bad for taking away her only love from her. She growled in her throat when she thought of that and looked at Megatron. Megatron had Optimus wrapped up in his alternate mode and laughed. Blackarachnia didn't see anything funny so she just looked at him.

Veronica slowly became conscious and started to move a little, but realized she couldn't move her arms or legs. She quickly opened her eyes and saw nothing but a white web wrapped around her body. She let out a scream which both startled Megatron and Blackarachnia. Megatron chuckled and walked over and grabbed Veronica. Veronica felt something metal pick her up and held her tightly then a voice she prayed she wouldn't hear spoke, "Optimus Prime. Wake up. I have your little human mate who is dying to see you."

Optimus barely heard it in his unconsciousness, but quickly awoke and transformed breaking the restraints. Megatron was startled by this and took a step back. Optimus glared at him and said, "Hand her over."

"Of course Prime." he replied with a smirk all over his face. He threw Veronica over Optimus's head who turned around and saw Blackarachnia catch her.

"About time. I'm starving!" Blackarachnia exclaimed. She extended her fangs and was about to pierce Veronica's skin when she was stopped. Optimus quickly stopped her and yanked Veronica out of Blackarachnia's arms…which he ended up taking one afterwards. Blackarachnia shrieked in pain and Megatron ran over to stop Optimus only to get a fist in the face. Megatron fell back, but Blackarachnia transformed into her beast mode and ran over to Optimus and bit his leg. Optimus felt all his energy leave him and he soon fell. He still saw everything perfectly clear, but he couldn't move…paralyzed.

"So Optimus Prime…are you ready to see your love disappear from your life?" Blackarachnia asked and gently picked up the mummified girl and bared her fangs. "Anything you want to say Optimus?"

Optimus tried to yell at her, but he couldn't move his mouth or activate his vocal processor. He couldn't do anything. "Well that's okay Optimus. I know she knows you loved her and you tried saving her, but she only died at the end."

Veronica heard this and exclaimed, "Optimus!"

Optimus felt his body fight off the venom in his flowing wires and soon he was able to speak and he spoke hoarsely, "You harm her Elita and I will kill you."

"Really Prime? You shouldn't be making anything threats. You're in no position too." Blackarachnia replied.

Optimus suddenly felt his body being lifted and in the corner of his optic he saw Megatron holding him and said, "Now watch as all your love's liquids flow out of her body. If you're good enough we'll let you live and keep her shell."
The two Decepticons were pushing the limit. Optimus watched as the two fangs pricked Veronica's skin and that's when all hell broke loose. Optimus grabbed a hold of Megatron's hands and threw him to the side and had his arm transform into his gun and fired at him. He then charged at Blackarachnia and started firing his gun at her missing Veronica by a hair. Blackarachnia fell to the ground and Optimus quickly took Veronica and unwrapped her.

He saw on her body blood started to run down her body. Her breathing was getting shallow. He quickly blocked the flow of the blood and contacted the other Autobots. But he mostly spoke to Ratchet and told him what was going on. "Optimus…" croaked Veronica.

"Veronica please you're in no state to talk. Save your energy." Optimus pleaded."

Veronica looked up at him and gave him a gentle smile but then she cried out in pain. Optimus looked at her worriedly and looked up and saw the Autobots coming. Ratchet rushing to their aid while the rest of them went to finish off Megatron and Blackarachnia.

"What happened sir?" Ratchet questioned.

"Blackarachnia bit her." Optimus replied worried sick about his love.

Ratchet quickly and gently took her into his hands and said, "We've got to act quickly before she dies from the venom!"

Ratchet quickly ran to the base while Optimus stayed behind. Ironhide saw Optimus walking towards them to Blackarachnia and moved out of the way. The other Autobots couldn't hold Megatron and were wounded, but he flew off. "Hey you forgot someone!" yelled Blackarachnia, but Megatron never looked back he kept on flying. Blackarachnia was face to face with Optimus Prime. When she looked into his optics she saw hatred towards her.

"If Veronica dies I'll be sure to kill you." He picked her up with one hand around her throat. She started gasping for air and Optimus actually smiled an evil smile and said, "Oh yeah…you're half organic now so you really do need air."

He threw her aside and watched as she landed in the dirt. Ironhide watched as Optimus walked over to her. No one had ever seen Optimus this angry before. They were actually afraid of their leader for once in their lives. Blackarachnia stood up and faced Optimus and transformed into her beast mode and jumped at him taking him down. With one leg missing she was still crafty. Ironhide ran over to the two, but was shot back by Blackarachnia.

"Which Autobot should go first? Optimus? Arcee? Ironhide? Bumblebee? So hard to decide." Blackarachnia sighed.

"Elita One! Look what you have become! You have become a monster!" exclaimed Arcee.

Blackarachnia quickly faced Arcee and said, "Elita One is dead and Blackarachnia is now alive. Don't ever relate me to Elita One. Elita One was foolish and fell for the Autobot leader, but ended up being thrown aside for a human female!"

Optimus looked at Blackarachnia and exclaimed, "For the last time Elita I thought you were dead! You never contacted me in any way!"

Blackarachnia looked down at him and said, "I'm really getting tired of you." With that said she bit his neck and sucked hard at his fluids. Optimus felt his body start shutting down. But he couldn't. He couldn't leave Veronica vulnerable to the world. Especially the Decepticons and with a crazy Decepticon femme. But soon his systems shut down. The Autobots saw this and started shooting at Blackarachnia. She quickly ran off into the trees and was out of sight. The Autobots surrounded their fallen leader and picked him up and carried him to the base.

When they had arrived they set Optimus down in the med bay on a bed. Ratchet was working on Veronica and he saw Optimus and sighed. Bumblebee walked over to Ratchet and asked, "How is she?"
Ratchet looked over at him and said, "Not good….half of her body is liquefied…I don't know if she'll survive this or not."

Bumblebee felt hurt in his throat. He was not going to cry. Ratchet moved to Optimus and started working fast on him. Bumblebee stayed with Veronica and stroked her skin and whispered, "Hang in there Veronica…you've got to stay….we all need you, but most of all Optimus."

Veronica felt pain throughout her whole body, but she slowly opened her eyes and saw a scared Bumblebee bending down to her. She tried, to smile, but could not. Her strength was gone and her body was trying to fight off the infection inside. Bumblebee gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Hang in there bud."

Suddenly Sam and Mikaela ran in the room and found Optimus and Veronica on beds and being treated, "What happened!?" exclaimed Sam.

Ironhide and the rest of the Autobots looked at him and said, "They were attacked by Blackarachnia."

Mikaela put her hand to her mouth and ran to the bed where Veronica was lying upon. Bumblebee bent down and picked her up and set her down next to Veronica. "Oh Veronica!"

Veronica looked at him and saw her bend down to her and felt her kiss her forehead. She then felt her fingers touch her face and whispered, "Hang in there please. Oh god please don't give up."

"I'm…not." Veronica croaked.

Sam was lifted on to the bed next and he sat next to Mikaela. But the two had to move when Ratchet came back and checked on her. He did many scans and started gathering chemicals and started mixing it. He then stuck a little utensil in one of Veronica's wounds and took part of the venom. Veronica had cried out when this happened. But Ratchet mixed with the chemicals. He then put it in a vile and injected it into her body. Veronica started to shake when this happened. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head.

"What did you do!?" exclaimed Mikaela and Sam.

Ratchet looked down at them and said, "I've made an antidote so that she will be healed." Soon Veronica stopped shaking and went still. Mikaela checked her pulse and found a faint pulse.

"Her pulse is weak." whispered Mikaela.

"And it will be for a little bit…let her rest." Ratchet replied.

He then walked back over to Optimus and started treating his wounds again. His wounds were not as bad, but still pretty deadly. The venom had gotten into his circuitry and made his body immobile giving enemies the perfect time to kill him off. As Ratchet worked on getting his leader's body fixed he saw Optimus's optics open. "Is Veronica okay?"

This startled Ratchet, but he quickly focused back on his work. "She's doing better…I have her a serum, so hopefully she'll be up soon."

Optimus slowly started to sit up, but Ratchet quickly held him down and said, "Sir, I need to make sure you're okay."

"I want to see Veronica!" he yelled.

"Veronica is sleeping right now and so should you. She knows she needs the rest so her body can heal. Optimus you're nearly done just wait." Ratchet pleaded.

Optimus laid down without any trouble and Ratchet continued his work on him. When he was finally finished Optimus could move and he quickly got up and walked over to Veronica. He saw her resting peacefully and saw the bite marks where Blackarachnia had bit her. He felt another rush of anger inside him, but quickly moved it aside and gently touched her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Optimus. She smiled a little and whispered, "Optimus…you're okay."

Optimus smiled back at her and said, "Yes and so are you."

Veronica felt tears behind her eyes. She didn't want to cry. She was so scared…she couldn't go anywhere….she couldn't go home without letting Blackarachnia where her family was located at. Optimus smelt her sadness and said, "Its going to be okay Veronica."

"Optimus…I don't know if I can keep doing this." she whispered. The tears were running down her cheeks now.

Optimus gently wiped away the tears and said, "Veronica…we'll make it."

"Optimus…think in my position. I can't go home without giving Blackarachnia their location…I can't go anywhere without being attacked or risking your life…"

Optimus felt his spark aching. He should have known being with a human was a wrong thing to do, but yet he fell for her in a heart beat. He looked down at her and got up. He left the room and left the base and went looking for Blackarachnia. Veronica was left on the bed with nothing to do, but stare up at the ceiling.

Optimus traveled through forests trying to find Blackarachnia until he heard crying. He looked around, but couldn't see anything. He turned on his night vision and found her up in a tree. "Blackarachnia…"

Suddenly there was silence and he watched has she jumped down to meet him and asked, "What do you want Prime? Haven't you had enough?"

"I came to talk to you." he whispered.

Blackarachnia looked at him and walked forward. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I've made a terrible mistake Elita…" he whispered.

Blackarachnia couldn't believe she was hearing this. The Autobot leader groveling to her feet. She had actually knocked some since into him. "You're sure you're through with that retched human?"

"Positive." he replied.

Blackarachnia smiled and walked over to him and put her arms around his shoulders and leaned in to kiss her when she suddenly felt something go through her. She looked down and saw Optimus's sword through her chest. Optimus looked at he and said, "I can't risk you killing Veronica again or any human."

"You mean you didn't mean it?" she asked her lip quivering.

"Nothing…my feelings have moved on Elita…and since you can't face the fact then…I have no other choice." He dug the sword deeper within her. He then yanked it out and cut off her head. He watched as her head came to a stop and her optics slowly went dim. He let out a huge sigh and turned back towards the base.

Everyone was sleeping including Ratchet, but Veronica wasn't…she loved Optimus and he had died once for her and nearly died again and so did she. It was just too dangerous to be dating a giant robot who was also the leader of the Autobots. She started tying her sheets together until they hit the floor. She carefully lowered herself to the ground and started walking around. The place was so difficult to find the way out of there, but she let her eyes start adjusting to the darkness and with her hands out stretched she started walking.

After around half an hour she found the exit to the base and made it outside. The moon was bright that night. She took in the fresh air and started walking away. "Believe me Optimus this was harder for me to do than to hurt you." she whispered.

Optimus came back to the base and went in to find Veronica missing. "Not again!" he exclaimed he ran back out of the base and sniffed the air…he was going to be like a dog tonight wasn't he? He sighed and followed the scent. Luckily it wasn't hard to follow. It was quite fresh she hadn't been gone that long and finally he found her. "Veronica."

Veronica suddenly stopped. Her heart started beating really fast….he had found her. He had found her yet again. "Optimus."
"Why are you running off again?" he questioned.

"Because…I can't stand seeing you get hurt Optimus…I can't stand you trying to risk your life for mine when you know I hate it."

"I do it because I care for you Veronica. I would sacrifice my self a million times just to know you're okay." he replied walking towards her a little more. She suddenly turned around to look at him in the optics. He bent down to her and said, "Don't think that you're a nuisance…because you're not. You keep me going you brighten up everyone's day. Sure we'll have arguments…but its not something to run away from."

"But what about Blackarachnia?" she questioned. Optimus looked at her and took a deep breath.

"She won't be bothering you any more." he replied.

"How?" she asked.

Optimus looked at her and said, "Because….I killed her. After what you said about not being able to go home at all and endangering everyone else's lives…I realized that she had to be gone…out of the world forever."

Veronica looked at him and walked towards him. She gently put her hand on Optimus's face and traced all the metal flaps that helped move his face. She then touched his nose and moved all the way up to the bottom part of his optic. She was surprised she reached that far on him…his head was huge. She gently kissed him on his lips and she felt him return the kiss very gently to make sure he didn't harm her in anyway.

Veronica then wrapped her arms around his face giving him a hug and letting tears slowly run down her cheeks. "I love you Optimus."

"I love you too Veronica…now…do you want to go home like we had planned before what all had happened or…do you want to stay with us for tonight since its way too late."

Veronica smiled and said, "I think I'll choose the second option." she replied.

"I was thinking you were going to choose that." he smiled and pulled away. He scooped her up in his hand and held her close to his chest so that she would keep warm. When they got back to the base Optimus was shocked everyone was still asleep after he had exclaimed in the base. He walked to his room and laid down on the bed and set Veronica on his chest. She slowly scooted a little bit down his body and to his stomach and started rubbing her hands back and forth but doing that caused Optimus to jolt.

"What happened?" asked Veronica.

"Don't do that." he replied.

"Why?" she asked intrigued.

"Because I said so." he replied.

"There has to be a reason."

"There is none."

Veronica didn't believe him so she started doing it again and Optimus actually started laughing. She laughed and exclaimed, "You're ticklish!"

"No I'm not!"

"Really? Then why are you laughing?" she asked.

"Because that's a sensitive area."

"Sure." After that was said she continued tickling her love until he reached under the covers and grabbed her. "Party pooper."

"Stop it you need rest."

"So do you." she replied.

"Well I can't get it when you're tickling me."

Veronica smiled and stroked Optimus's chest and she had her hand squeeze between his chest plate and started stroking Optimus's spark. This caused him to start shuddering and he started talking in an alien language. But soon he stopped when he realized what she was doing. "You've got to stop." he whispered.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because that's what mated transformers do…its like sexual intercourse." he replied.

"So it would be like me playing with a human male's…"

Optimus just shook his head up and down. She quickly pulled her hand away and all Optimus could do was laugh. He took a hand and started stroking her back and she let out a moan and laid down on his chest listening to his inner workings. She started feeling her eye lids fall down under the pleasure of Optimus's magic fingers.

Optimus saw Veronica falling asleep under his touch and he gently rested his hand over top of her to keep her warm and went to sleep himself.

Megatron was at the Decepticon base and noticed that Blackarachnia had never came back to the base. The Autobots must had killed her off, but no…she had contacted her when she escaped…but he had never heard from her since. He let out a huge sigh and transformed into his alien jet form and flew across the state until he found something that looked like Blackarachnia.

"Slag." he whispered when he landed. He found her body and her head severed. Only Optimus Prime could have done this since he was the only one with a sword. He looked at her body and looked away….there went one of the newest greatest warriors he had. He stood up from the spot and transformed and went back to the base. He knew Optimus's weakness and he was going to use it against him. He laughed at the thought and went back to his base. Of course…the Decepticons could find her parents….they knew where they were located at. The night lasted long that night…but when the sun rose….it was going to be a new battleground.
