Hey guys guess what!
You get to meet the sparklings this chapter! The names and armor color ideas come from VectorPrime155! Dang you're helpful haha!
Oh and one more thing...THIS IS THE SECOND TO THE LAST CHAPTER! :D Enjoy!
Optimus felt fear grip his spark at Arcee's words. He sent a quick comm. link to Ratchet, who luckily worked at the nearest hospital, and help Anastasia stand. Bithor and Neceron were surprised and angry at the same time. Optimus ignored them and rushed Anastasia to the nearest hospital while Jaston, Jenalise, Arcee, and Megatronus distracted Bithor and Neceron. When Anastasia was taken by the medics Optimus began to pace the lobby while waiting for them to let him in. He suddenly got a comm. link from Prowl saying that they've found all the dragons in hiding.
"Go do your job, Prime. I'll comm. you when you can come back and see your sparklings." The receptionist stated when she saw the leaders' optics darken. Optimus sent her a thankful smile and nod before running out of the hospital. He transformed and drove back to where the others were waiting, along with Prowl and Jazz. When he made it there was quite a commotion.
"How dare you arrest our people! You can't do that!" Neceron yelled at the enforcers. Prowl and Jazz just glared at her and remained silent. They didn't need to say anything to them until Optimus showed up. When they saw the other Prime things lightened up for the Cybertronians, but it only angered the dragons more. "Is this some kind of joke?"
"I can assure you, it's not a joke. Jazz and Prowl are in charge of keeping Cybertron and all who live on it safe. They were threatening the fragile peace that we just so recently gained. Bithor and Neceron, Anastasia and Jaston are needed here for political and personal reasons. I promise to you that I'd do anything for you to allow them to stay." Optimus informed. Everyone stared at him in shock. He was one of the leaders of Cybertron and a Prime, yet here he was practically begging to Bithor and Neceron.
"Please don't make them leave…" Arcee added quietly. Jaston was speechless to say the least. He didn't expect Arcee and Optimus to resort to almost begging to keep them on Cybertron. His optics, however, showed his fear of having to leave them. His arm around Arcee tightened slightly, comforting them both at the same time. Bithor glared at the Cybertronians, or dragon in Jenalise's case, but sincerely thought about it. Their children were happy and even had a family here, but they were to be the rulers of Ythunha.
"Who will rule Ythunha once we are gone? You two were to be the rulers." Bithor growled. It gave a small relief to everyone, at least they were starting to think about the idea. But Jaston knew that they were right to worry about the future of their planet. Even though he was no longer a shape-shifter it didn't mean he wasn't worried about his old home. Jenalise hesitated before nervously stepping forward.
"I will. I was trained alongside the twins on how to rule Ythunha. I'll return in their stead." Jenalise offered. That got everyone surprised, especially Bithor and Neceron. They thought for sure Jenalise would rather remain on Cybertron than return to Ythunha. "Let the twins stay here with Arcee and Optimus and I will return to take their place so long as I may visit from time to time. Unlike the twins, Ythunha is my real home and not Cybertron."
"You…you're serious? You want to want to return just so the twins can stay?" Neceron asked quietly in surprise. They knew Jenalise had never taking a liking to them, yet she was willing to put up with them to switch places with the twins. Bithor and Neceron shared a look, trying to figure out what to do. Finally they sighed and looked at the bots in front of them. "Very well…"
"Thank you Jenalise! By the All Spark, thank you!" Jaston exclaimed joyously. He hugged his friend happily, a renewed gleam in his optics. Jazz and Prowl smiled and turned to Optimus for orders on what to do with the dragons in their custody. It wouldn't be right to keep them there now that the problem was resolved. Optimus glanced over at Bithor and Neceron with a relieved and thankful look before shifting his gaze to the law enforcers.
"Take Bithor and Neceron to free the dragons in captivity. They are allowed to leave and go home so long as they do not try to harm anyone anymore. Thank you for your help. Bithor and Neceron, thank you for allowing the twins to stay." He ordered. He turned to the dragons/Cybertronians when they were spoken to. His voice was serious but everyone could see his relief and happiness through his bright blue optics.
"Yes sir," both mechs exclaimed before leading the now-guests away. Jenalise was happy, not even worried about the future. She knew she didn't belong on Cybertron and now that there were more dragons on Ythunha she could return happily. She could also visit Cybertron every now and then to see the twins and their mates. Optimus got a comm. link telling him that the sparklings were healthy and he could visit them anytime he wanted now.
"What are you waiting for, Optimus? Go see your sparklings. We'll finish up here." Megatronus shooed off his brother. Optimus transformed and drove off back towards the hospital. Nervousness sunk into his spark when he transformed in front of the building. He was now a Creator and the twins along with his sparkmate were through the doors. He walked in hesitantly, relieved that the only one in the lobby was Ratchet.
"Congratulations, Optimus. They're perfectly healthy and asleep, Anastasia included." Ratchet said quietly. Optimus nodded silently and followed the medic down the halls to the room that held his newly-expanded family. Ratchet smirked at the realization at how anxious Optimus really was about meeting his sparklings. They stopped in front of a door in the far corner of the hospital. "This is it, be quiet when you enter so you don't wake them."
"Thank you, old friend." Optimus said softly. Ratchet nodded and left, probably to check on another patient. Optimus vented softly and gently opened the door to see Anastasia asleep on a berth. He walked up and sat down in the chair next to her and rubbed her cheekplate slightly. Her optics slowly opened and she smiled at the sight of her sparkmate. "How are you feeling?"
"Like I just gave birth to twins." she teased. Optimus chuckled and kissed her forehelm. She sat up as he stood and hugged him. Optimus couldn't believe he was a Creator. Slag, he couldn't believe he was lucky enough to have Anastasia as a mate. She pointed to a corner where there were two small sleeping figures on cradle-like berths. "They're over there in recharge."
"Our…sparklings." Optimus responded in disbelief. Anastasia smiled as he walked over and held his two sons in his arms. He walked over and handed one of them to Anastasia. The one he was holding had the same colorings as he did: red and blue. The other was black and gray, taking after their Carrier and uncle. Optimus' spark was beating so hard he thought it might burst. Anastasia chuckled lightly and leaned against Optimus as he sat down on the berth next to her. The one he was holding opened his optics and the color surprised both sparkparents. They were blue and rimmed with red, probably the same as his brothers'. "What shall we name them?"
"I was thinking Ironspear for this one," Anastasia answered warmly while slightly lifting up the sparkling in her servos. He also stirred and woke up with a chirp. His optics were the opposite of his brothers', red rimmed with blue. Optimus hummed in agreement and looked down at the red and blue one who was making similar chirps, but they were much faster. "What do you want to name him?"
"Quickswipe, it matches how fast he can talk." Optimus joked. Anastasia elbowed him with a light giggle. Now that they had named the twins Optimus explained the compromise to Anastasia. She was utterly surprised but relieved at Jenalise's sacrifice. The door opened and in ran Jaston and Arcee, holding Electroblade, and behind them walked, a little more calmly, Tailgate, Breakdown, Megatronus, Bithor, and Neceron.
"Guys, meet Ironspear and Quickswipe." Anastasia introduced. Everyone crowded around the couple to get a good first look at the twins. Megatronus couldn't help but notice how they were in a way like how he and Optimus were as sparklings: one red and blue with blue optics and the other gray with red optics. Ratchet stood in the doorway with a warm smile. This had to be the happiest he's ever seen Optimus. At least now they didn't have to worry about the twins' parents anymore. And speaking of the parents…
June was going to freak.
Yes Jenalise is leaving but the twins get to stay!
Next chapter will the be the epilogue: the final one!
