Chapter 36

Sentinel Grunted as another fist connected to his tank area. He had no idea how long he had been a prisoner but for some reason every couples of days he found himself with a full tank. Another fist hit him in the face and the punches stopped at least for now. Sentinel sunk down to his knees and let out an sigh. He really couldn't take much more of the punishment that he was being given. Maybe Starlight had really succumbed to the virus and was now a Decepticon. He shook that thought off as he remembered Starlight's past and that she was a survivor and would never betray the Autobots.

Sentinel looked up when he heard the door slide open. Standing in the doorway was the grey femme that looked like Megatron. He knew that this was Starlight's twin sister.

"So you're the mech that made my sister's life hell when she was disguised as a mech. What on earth did she ever see in you? Shockwave is more of mech than you will ever be and a lot nicer. At least he was nice to her in boot camp while you just punished her and kicked her out for being what an Autobot should be. A bot that would do anything for a friend even take the blame for something they didn't do. But you don't even know what it means to be a Autobot as all you think about is yourself. Starlight is better off with us. At least she is treated with the respect she deserves." Nebula taunted and laughed at Sentinel struggling to get out of the chains that bound him.

"I made mistakes in the past." Sentinel roared at the femme in front of him. "But Starlight means more to me than anything in the world. I would even give up my position and rank just to be with her. If the spy so much as touches her I'll kill him."

Nebula looked at the Blue Prime with confusion at what he had said. This was not the mech that her father had told her about as he was willing to give up a rank that was hard to get. Did he really care about her sister as much as he said.

"To bad that she will never hear those words coming from you as soon as were in Metroplex and have Yoketron's weapon we will have no need for you." Nebula told Sentinel before giving him a punch in the Stomach and left the room. Sentinel coughed up a little bit of energon from the punch.

A short time later the door to the cell opened and in walked Starlight. Her optics were a mix of red and blue. Sentinel knew that she was fighting the virus that was trying to take control of her systems.

"I'm doing my best in trying to keep you alive and keep the Deceipticons off my case from thinking that I'm still an Autobot." Starlight said as she placed one of her hands on Sentinel's cheek which Sentinel leaned into the hand.

"How far as the virus gotten?" Sentinel asked enjoying the comfort of Starlight's touch.

"I don't how far it taken over my system but I do know that it hasn't taken over my processor as I'm still an Autobot but a part of me wants to stay a Decepticon as I'm being treated the way I've always wanted to be treated with respect. But a part of me wants to still stay an Autobot as it was what I was raised as. I just don't know what to do or what to think." Starlight told Sentinel.

"Never thought that I would say this but do what your spark tells you what to do. If it tells you to be an Autobot than be an Autobot if it tells you to be an Decepticon than be a Decepticon. What every you choose I will always be there for you no matter what." Sentinel told the confused femme. "I told you before that I loved you and I meant it. I'll stand by you even if it means becoming a Decepticon." Sentinel told Starlight his optics telling her that he was speaking the truth.

Starlight let a smile come to her face and she brought herself closer to Sentinel and in a flash crashed her lips on his. Sentinel optics went wide as he felt Starlight kiss him with such force that he was sure that it was the Decepticon coding in her not that he minded. He offlined his optics and leaned into the kiss. Sentinel couldn't do much being chained up but he could slid his glossa over Starlight's lips asking for permission to enter which she gave. Both their glossa's battle with each others as Starlight wrapped her arms around Sentinel's neck still kissing him. The two stayed in that position for what seemed like an lifetimen until Starlight broke the kiss and removed her arms from Sentinel neck. She touched her forehead to his and let out a sigh.

"Just hang in there for a little while longer Sentinel." Starlight said to Sentinel as he place a soft kiss on Sentinel's and left the room unaware that someone had watched the entire scene.

Could she be trying to turn Sentinel into a Decepticon? Nebula thought as she watch the display of affections from her sister and the Autobot 2nd in command. He was willing to change sides just to be with the femme he loved. Maybe there was more to her sister than she really thought. She was the one that made the move on Sentinel.

Nebula walked to Blitzwing's room so that she could talk with her boyfriend. Sure he had kissed her a few times but nothing like what Starlight and Sentinel did. The kiss was so full of passion and love that she wanted to feel what that felt like.

When she arrive at Blitzwing's room she found that the door was open and the triple changer was laying in his back reading a data pad.

"What's the matter Nebula? Are you alright?" Blitzwing asked getting up from his berth as he saw the distressed look on his girlfriend' face. He was caught off guard when Nebula grabbed him and slammed him on his berth and she straddled him and was kissing him with so much vigor that Blitzwing just melted into the kiss. He wanted to take things slow with Nebula but by the way she was kissing him he knew what she wanted. While still kissing her he flipped her so that he was on top of her. They broke the kiss and one look in Nebula's optics told the crazy triple changer just what she wanted. He leaned down and kissed her again and trailed one of his hands to her waist earning a moan from her. He pressed a button and heard something slid back from both of them. The two lover melted into each other as the night turned to day.

Meanwhile Starlight was in her room with her hands on her head in pain. What Sentinel had said was doing something to her processor. Her body was fighting the virus at a faster level that it was almost completely gone. She remembered something that Sari had something to her. Something about the power of love overcoming any odds and it looked like Sari was right. Sentinel telling her that he loved her and would do anything for her was making the Virus weak to a point she it wouldn't control her anymore that she could make her own choices.

Starlight had finally chose who she wanted to be.

Sentinel told Starlight that he would do anything for her even become a Decepticon and it looks like Nebula took her relationship to the next level with Blitzwing. Due to Sentinel's words Starlight knows who she is and wants to be. But who and what does she want to be? Find out in the next chapter as The autobots arrive on Cybertron and the war takes a new turn.
