Chapter 24: Inside SkyFighter
As SkyFighter flew through the air, Tali quietly stared out of one of the windows to the scenery below. She was still on an emotional high from her engagement to Ops, the mech of her dreams, but it was now being slowly tempered by the seriousness of their predicament. Paradox was the prisoner of the Insidious who had just sent out a worldwide message, threatening the lives of everyone, including her family and friends. She could pretty much imagine how her teammates had reacted. She just prayed that Diego had not blown up any of the TVs. The same goes for Amber, Alyan and Iris. Out of the whole team, those four could really take the extra mile in expressing just how protective they were of the people they care about.
Ops sat on the right side of his fiancé, looking worriedly outside another window as he thought about the battle that was sure to come. From what he knew already, the Insidious was the second in command of the Makutacons. If he was second, Ops could only imagine how many soldiers were under his command. Nine Makutacons back in that old town was bad enough. What if this time, they were to face hundreds? And what if those said Makutacons showed as they were entering the Mayan ruins? Seeing as there were only two Toabots with them at the moment, they would have no possible chance of surviving that kind of attack.
But Ops decided to push away those thoughts for now as he looked over at the beautiful Toa Rahayu of water, whom he had asked to marry him earlier. Because they had both known each other for what felt like forever, he knew she would say yes. How could she not? She loved him as much as he loved her, and Tali had even given Ops the necklace her brother Gahu had given her. That was more than enough to prove how much she truly loved him.
Then with a loving smile, Ops stretched out his right hand and wrapper in around Tali's left hand as he told her: "Hey Tal Tal, I love you".
Startled out of her thoughts by his comforting voice, Tali turned to smile happily at him. "I love you too, Opi."
Ops smiled brightly and gently wrapped Tali in a hug, holding her close to his chest as he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead ("Or is it foremask"? #Z). "You know the life we're gonna have together, what you just said yes to"? Ops asked her. "It's not gonna suck. I'll try to make as good out of it as I can". He promised. And indeed he would. Tali was the most beautiful and most caring femme in the world to Ops, and he wasn't going to take her for granted in any way, shape, or form.
"I know you will." Tali kissed his cheek happily as she hugged Ops back.
She shifted her upper body a bit to get a more secure grip around him and winced, biting back a yelp as a sharp jolt of pain that she had not felt in a long time ran through her shoulder. Ops saw this and comfortingly rested a comforting hand on the hurting shoulder, rubbing it comfortably in the way Optimus had taught him how.
Tali tensed slightly as the pain momentarily intensified before it eased down, allowing her to relax. "Thanks."
Ops smiled kindly at his fiancé. "Always".
Happily relaxing against her fiancé, Tali took the opportunity to look around at their friends, her gaze landing on Ava and Robert. They were asleep, with Ava leaning against Robert who had his arm around her, holding her close. The adorable sight made Tali smile.
"They look so cute, so peaceful, together." She commented.
Ops noticed where Tali was looking and snickered at the two lovebirds. "Yeah. But if I were them, Id kind of hope Ketongu wasn't a super observant soldier". Then rolling his optics. "Ah, who am I kidding"? He looked lovingly into Tali's eyes: "I'd gladly get embarrassed by that guy for you".
Blushing, Tali quickly covered her mouth with her hand so as to hide the laugh that was tickling her throat. She did not want to wake the others up. Calming down but still smiling brightly, she leaned against Ops, nuzzling him a bit, and Ops wrapped his arms around Tali, keeping her as warm as he possibly could in his arms.
Unbeknownst to them, Ketongu had awoken minutes earlier, and had been listening as closely as he possibly could, waiting for the chance to use his radio in an effort to both humiliate them (in a kind way), and make everyone else laugh should they be awake as well. Luckily for them, Angela had also woken up a few minutes ago, and had been watching Ketongu closely, which she was able to do just fine since she had decided to sleep right next to him. Just as Ketongu was preparing to play another song on the radio in his chest, Angela leaned as close as she possibly could to Ketongu's left ear and warned him in the form of a whisper: "Don't you dare".
Ketongu jokingly jumped as if his nose had been grabbed by a lobster, only to smirk a few seconds later as if saying: "You can't tell me what to do MOM"!
Tali rolled her eyes with a smile, having heard them clearly in the silence. She always enjoyed seeing Angela go after Ketongu for something he did. It was funny. Sighing happily, she shifted her body a bit to get in a more comfortable position against Ops and tensed again as the pain returned to her shoulder. 'I must have aggravated it more than I thought.' she mused sadly. She had felt a slight tinge of pain in her shoulder during her performance with Ava but had just ignored it, thinking it would get better and be fine. But clearly, the jolts and sudden grabs she had done in her aerial performance had agitated her would more than she had first considered. After all, it had been years since the incident, she had figured that her shoulder would have been up for such a rigorous event after all that time.
Ops noticed the shift in his fiancé, and asked her kindly: "Hey Tali, can I ask you to try something"?
"Sure. What is it?" Tali looked up at him, curious as to what he was going to ask her to do.
Ops immediately opened the window parts on his chest, both opening like doors to reveal his beating spark as he instructed: "Now just, gently place your ? hand on it".
Tali prevented herself from recoiling at the sight of his spark and quickly looked up at him with wide eyes to avoid looking at it. "Are...are you sure it's okay?"
She had always heard that the spark of a Cybertronian was the most important part of their anatomy. For a stranger to even look at one's spark, much less even touch it, without their consent was equal to human r***. Which was why Cybertronians only exposed their sparks to their sparkmates. Which Tali was kinda on her way to being. Right now, she was Ops' intended if we were using the technical terms. But she still felt nervous about being this close physically to Ops' spark. What if she touched it and it ended up with them being sparkmated or something identical to it?
Ops smiled in confirmation. "Of course it is. And it won't hurt or kill me either. I promise".
"Okay." Tali said hesitantly as she rested her hand gently on his spark. She gasped in shock as she felt his spark begin to beat faster as a blue energy began to wrap around her arm in response to her touch. She watched as it traveled up her arm and engulf her shoulder, her old wound glowing bright enough to illuminate the room as though the sun had fully risen. As she watched, she felt the pain in her shoulder ease and fade away as the wound was healed. Having completed its task, the tendril unwrapped and removed itself from her arm, fading into the air. Still unable to get over her surprise of what had just happened, Tali rolled her shoulder to test it out. No pain. The wound was gone! Like it had never happened!
"Wha..." was all she could say as she looked up at Ops.
Ops simply smiled at her as he replied: "It's a theory that was first tested out by Alpha Trion on Prima after their battle against Unicron. It's believed that if someone of another race touches your spark that person becomes healed from almost any kind of injury. But as Grandfather also found out, it only happens that quick if the one with the spark, loves the one from the other race". He smiled brighter at his fiancé. "So that... Kinda proves both of those". Then with an informing look: "But it won't heal diseases".
Tali nodded in understand and relief that nothing bad had happened. "Thank you, Opi." She smiled. "I've been dealing with that injury for several years now."
"Well you won't have to anymore". Ops told her with his loving smile as he closed the doors to his spark chamber.
Ketongu immediately touched a button on the radio in his chest, which made the "Awww"! sound from every sitcom known to humanity.
Angela narrowed her eyes at the One-eyed Toabot of light, a bit upset at how he always managed to ruin a private moment. "Ketongu, you're LUCKY I'm just a Matoran". If it were otherwise, she would've knocked him through one of the curved walls.
Suddenly a large water ball hit Ketongu square in the face. Tali gave a satisfied smirk before nuzzling Ops again.
"Agh"! Ketongu shouted in surprise, then looking over at Tali as he shook his head like a dog. Then smiling innocently: "Hey, I was just trying to lighten the mood".
Angela glared a bit at Ketongu. "You're rotten"!
At Angela's shout, Ava woke up, a bit groggy as she looked around, trying to remember where she was. That's when she caught sight of the dark green arm around her shoulder. Knowing exactly to whom it belonged to, she blushed as she became aware of the position she was in. Ops smiled and fought back a fit of chuckles when he saw this. Instead, he poked Tali's right shoulder with his left elbow gently and continued annoyingly after he had gotten her attention, earning a giggle and a smile from his fiancé. After a few more seconds of elbow poking, he nodded in Ava's direction, motioning for her to look.
Glancing over at her now wide awake friend, Tali grinned. "Morning, Sleeping Beauty." She teased. Ava had always liked that fairy tale when they were kids and ever since, Tali had made it her goal to tease her about it whenever she could. And as always, Ava shot a playful glare her way. "Very funny, Tali." She said, a small smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
Ketongu snickered loudly at this, loud enough to wake up Green, who snorted a bit and then looked around before asking curiously: "What did I miss"? Judging from the humor-filled smile on Ketongu's face, something had happened as he was sleeping.
"Nothing much, Green." Tali smiled at the Matoran.
Green was about to ask humorously if the Toa Rahayu was sure, before hearing a screeching sound over the speaker, waking seemingly everyone up except Golden before SkyFighters voice spoke: "This is SkyFighter speaking. We are nearing close to the Mayan ruins, so if there's anybody on the plane who hasn't woken up yet, please... Wake them up. I don't want to transform with someone inside of me".
With that being said, Golden had instantly jumped to his feet with a scared look covering his powerless yellow Hau. This was followed by light laughter from SkyFighter.
"Thought that'd get him to finally wake up". SkyFighter said.
Tali giggled at the look on Golden's face when she heard Ava laugh.
"Wow, Golden. I thought we'd have to peel you off from the ceiling."
Tali's laughter grew stronger as she got a clear mental image of Golden plastered on the ceiling.
Golden's eyes widened visibly in fear at the thought. "WHAT"?!
Green rolled his eyes and chuckled at his younger brothers reactions as he walked up to him and rested a left hand on his right shoulder. "It's ok little bro, they're just messing with you". He told him with a reassuring smile.
"Yep." Ava reassured him as she nudged Robert awake.
"Sorry for giving you a scare, Golden." Tali apologized after her giggles had calmed down enough for her to talk.
Golden simply gave Tali a nod to indicate that he had accepted her apology.
Robert had awoken almost instantly, widening his eyes as he realized he had fallen asleep with his arm around Ava. Not that he didn't like it, he just felt like a creep for not asking her first. "Uhh, sorry"?
"Good morning to you too, sleepy head." Ava giggled, a bit confused to what he was apologizing for.
Robert smiled lovingly at Ava then, a blush covering part of his cheeks. Ketongu smirked as he saw this and instantly took this opportunity to play a "special song" on the radio in his chest:
"Through the jungle, the mighty jungle
The (static) Robert (static) sleeps tonight"!
This caused the blush from earlier to grow bigger, covering almost all of Roberts face.
Tali bursted out laughing at the song choice. "Oh no, not the Lion King again!"
To which, Ava giggled, remembering clearly the day they had all first met.
Green rolled his eyes at the one-eyed Toabot and asked him: "Key, why can't you just pick on somebody who's single"?
Ketongu smiled mischievously at Green. "Because that'd make it too boring for me".
"Oh, brother." Tali facepalmed as Ava's snickers reverberated in her ears. 'This is going to be a long day.' she thought to herself. Unaware of Tali's musings, Ava did her best to hide her giggles behind her hand. She didn't now what the day had in store for the group but she knew that they will face it together and win.
