~Chapter Forty Two~

That New Car Smell


Pure white.

That was all she saw when she opened her eyes. She saw just pure, blinding, excruciating white. It mostly confused her. She didn't know where she was. Nor did she...

She paused, frowning. There was something wrong. She was drawing up a blank on everything. She tried to think of how she came to be in this white room she saw around her. She tried to think. But the more she tried, the worse she felt. She didn't know anything. Her mind was completely blank.

'Where am I?! Why am I here?! And most of all...who am I?!' She thought frantically.

She couldn't even figure out her own name.

"Ah, I see you have came out of recharge. Sooner than I thought then." Came a gentle but booming voice.

Nearly jumping out of her...what, skin? She didn't even know the term or word for it. She turned sharply to see a massive being made out of metal before her and she shrank back. No, there were two of them. Though why the strange yellowish orange one was looking at her with shock, it was beyond her. She didn't understand what was going on, however. She didn't know them. She didn't even know herself. What was going on? What was happening?

"Who...who are you? Where am I? What's happening?" She asked timidly before biting her lip nervously and cowering. "Wh-who am I?"

Again, the yellowish-orange being looked shocked and horrified by that question. "Wh-what? You don't even know who you are?!" He spun to face the older mech. "Alpha Trion! What has happened to her?!"

The girl shrank back nervously but the old mech waved him away, dismissively. "Calm down, Groundhog. She is fine. It is because her spirit is out of her body that she is disoriented. As of now, she is a ghost. But we will fix that." He told him.

"I...I am a wh-what?!" She asked fearfully. "I am dead?!"


Moments before, Alpha Trion and Groundhog had entered the brilliant white light that was within the All Spark. It was too bright for the Decepticon to see at the moment but once he adjusted his optics, he blinked in surprise.

Within the All Spark, it looked like a white room. A way too bright white room.

But inside it, there were two medical berths, along with strange looking blue lights floating about the enormous room. It took him a moment to even realize what they were. He realized they were sparks. There were so many floating around him, perhaps hundreds. They were small but larger than fireflies. Each was swooping towards the two, causing him to tense up.

"It's all right, Groundhog. They won't harm you." Alpha Trion reassured him as he stepped towards the berths.

Groundhog watched as the sparks flew around him, looking as if curious. They were prodding at him and even at his wounds, causing him to hiss in pain. The sparks drew back as if alarmed but then gently setting against the gashes in his chassis, glowing brightly.

And surprising, the ruined metal began to meld back together, as if repairing. Groundhog felt the pain melting away as he was repaired immediately. He stared in wonder at what was happening. "How did they...!" He was asking in alarm.

Alpha Trion made a sound as if amused. "The mysteries of sparks and the All Spark. Think of it this way, these sparks was once a part of a greater being that we all know and cherish." He said as he gently laid Dawn down on the berth before him.

Curious, Groundhog walked forward, looking down at her. "How are we going to help Dawn? Can they," he motioned to the many sparks. "Heal her too?" He asked carefully and full of hope.

There was a heavy sigh as Alpha Trion shook his head, gently running a large finger down Dawn's side. "No. They cannot. She is not Cybertronian. The genetic makeup of humans is too complex for our technology and spirituality to repair wounds such as hers. At least...not without nanobots." He said as he opened a compartment in his arm and millions of small beads began pouring out, covering Dawn. "However, it is already too late to save her body. She has already begun to shut down."

Groundhog's spark seized with dread and sorrow. He should have seen this coming. He and Ratchet had known this might happen. "Then...what are we going to do? We cannot go back out there to tell Sideswipe she has died. It will kill him if not kill Ratchet. And Optimus Prime. To them, she is their sparkling." He said painfully. "Not to mention Starscream! He has grown too fond of her."

"When we leave the All Spark, we will not be leaving with Dawn Jade Adams, Groundhog." Alpha Trion said gently before he looked up towards the vast ceiling of the room. "She is in your power now, my dear Lord Primus."

Groundhog frowned in confusion. He didn't understand. What did...?

"Begin the procedure, my child. The All Spark is yours to create." Came a gentle, but powerful voice echoing all around them and even through them.

Groundhog had froze in surprise at the heavenly sound. He looked frantically for who the voice belonged to but did not see any one else but himself, Alpha Trion, Dawn and the sparks. "Pri-Primus?" He murmured weakly.

Alpha Trion nodded, ignoring the stunned medic beside him. He just raised his hands, spreading them wide as if he was about to preach. "All Sparks, you know what must be done. So let it be done." He said in a strong proud voice.

Suddenly, there was a gentle thrumming as all of the sparks stopped floating all at once. They began to glow brightly before suddenly moving as one. They began swirling and spinning in the air like a cyclone directly above the young human on the berth. It was a wondrous sight for Groundhog.

The tip of the spark cyclone slowly descended until it touched Dawn's chest where a brilliant white light formed like a portal.

And from the strange mystical portal came a golden aura, trailing upwards. It looked like a golden spark.

"Wh-what is happening?" Groundhog asked in horror as he watched the golden spark begin to float around, mixing with the blue sparks.

The sparks floated with the wavering golden one, which looked quite disoriented. It seemed confused as it flew around the room until stopping in the corner where it cowered. Even with the blue ones looking like they were trying to comfort its fears.

Alpha Trion looked sadly at the golden spark before turning back to the body of the now inactive body of Dawn. "She is dead. That is her spark. Humans have sparks too, my young mech. They call them souls while we call them sparks. Whether the humans believe in them or not, it is their choice. But this is the truth." He said gently.

Groundhog felt his spark sink. "Can...can Sideswipe feel her...death?" He asked horrified.

Alpha Trion shook his head as he gently caressed the deceased. "No. The All Spark is blocking their connection so he will not feel it." He then turned when he heard a squeak. "Ah, I see you came out of recharge sooner than I thought."

Groundhog looked and started in horror to see the small shape and form of Dawn, yet she still looked golden colored and quite transparent. He couldn't believe this.

A few words were exchanged and it was revealed that she couldn't remember anything. She was completely confused of everything. It was incredibly sad and it made Groundhog's spark weep for her. She couldn't remember that she had a sparkmate who would be devastated by her death.

"I...I am a what?! I am dead?!" Dawn gasped in horror.

"Temporarily, my dear." Alpha Trion said gently before he looked back around the room. "Begin the process, my All Sparks. We shall rebuild her." He stated, confusing both Dawn and Groundhog.

Again, the sparks moved as one, yet it seemed the room had dimmed with a brilliant blue light as they moved. They began settling upon the second berth, along with the nanobots, twisting and forming. It was amazing to say the least.

First, the nanobots began forming a frame. They began building into their selves, solidifying into a protoform of a femme.

"Wh-what...what is that?"

Alpha Trion looked down to see that Dawn had moved closer o watch in interest. He smiled before settling a hand onto her transparent head. "That is Sunriser, my little one. She is being reborn, recreated." He told her softly. "And she will be magnificent. A Technorganic, however."

Both Dawn and Groundhog looked at him in surprise. They didn't understand but it was starting to dawn on the Decepticon.

"You mean...?!"

Alpha Trion smiled at Groundhog and nodded. "Half human, half Cybertronian. A Transformer that will be perfectly capable of human emotions and feelings." Then he turned his optics back onto the nanobots as they began forming the rest of the body. "Dawn, you will return to the world in a strange way. People you will love will not forget what will happen. You will the first Technoranic of your race. Humans will want what you have but they can only be granted this gift if they are pure in heart and deserve such as this."

"Dawn...?!" The little human ghost asked frowning in confusion before her eyes snapped wide open as it all came to her. She was rushed with so many memories that it caused her to choke in alarm. She slapped a hand over her mouth and if she could, she would be sobbing. "Oh, my god! Sides! My husband! My family! The Autobots! I died! My fath-father shot me! He killed me!"

Alpha Trion frowned down at her before he carefully lift her up into his hands, bringing her close to his face plates. "Shhhh. Calm down, my little one. It will be all right." He told her soothingly.

Dawn trembled, curling up in his hand into a tight ball. "Ho-how will it be all right?! I am dead! Sideswipe...!" She cried.

Alpha Trion gently ran a finger down her see through back, rubbing it softly. "You will see him again through new eyes, my dear. I swear it." He promised.

Trembling, Dawn leaned back against his finger before looking down and frowning as she watched the nanobots began moving over her empty shell of a body. They covered it, connecting with the ones forming the somewhat larger body on the other berth. "What are they doing to me?" She asked in unease.

"They are mixing human biology with Cybertronian technology. Taking you apart and rebuilding your new body, Sunriser." Alpha Trion said gently.

"That...that is kind of disturbing to think about." Dawn said frowning shuddering at the thought. And then her eyes snapped wide open a she looked sharply up at Alpha Trion. "Wait! What?! My new what?!" She yelped.

Chuckling, Alpha Trion shook his head and patted her gently on the head. "You will see, Sunriser." He told her.


Outside the All Spark, Elita One was running down as she fought Blackarchnia. She was fighting with all she had and her enemy was still not even breaking energon. She hissed as a sharp blade cut into her leg, causing her to crash down to one knee and pant from exhaustion.

"Oh, poor little Ariel. I think you are getting old." Blackarchnia hissed in delight as she circled her former sister of arms.

Elita One growled as she lift a head to glare at Blackarchnia. She was not impressed with her insults at all. "You are older than I am, Blackarchnia. So I would not be talking. In fact, are those creases in your brow?"

Yelping, Blackarchnia slapped a servo to her forehead to feel for the creases before growling. "You, glitch. Trying to ruffle my legs, are you? Well, it will not work. I know more insults than you can dish out. Remember what you found on Axtell One? What was left of your precious femmes after what I was done with them?" She pried.

Elita One froze as the memory hit her. She could never forget what had happened to her femmes. To Nightshade, to Firewar, to Solus. She remembered what she had found.

All of those body parts, lying around, drained of energon. They had been ripped apart when the mission they had been sent on was suppose to be a simple extraction mission of energon. They were only sent to retrieve energon cubes that had been accidentally shipped out to the wrong area.

But they had never returned or reported anything when they were supposed to.

Elita One remembered how she, Chromia, Arcee, Moonracer and a femme named Echo had gone to coordinates that Solus had last sent and found what horrors waited for them. She remembered how Echo, the youngest of their group had broke down and cried. How Chromia and Moonracer both broke down and purged the energon from their tanks from the massacre.

The memory struck through Elita One with a rage building. She had never been one to express such anger and hatred but she felt it rising out of her.

Growling in anger, Elita One leapt to her feet and lunged at Blackarchnia. She could not stop herself as she swung her blade at the suddenly startled evil femme. She ducked under swinging bladed legs, lunged and plunged her blade deep into Blackarchnia's thorax.

Blackarchnia screamed in pain as she leapt backwards, cupping a servos around the blade still stuck in her. She stilled for a moment as she felt something on the hilt. She looked down and swore when she saw an energon grenerade.

Jerking her head up, the femme froze to see Elita One raise her hand revealing the controller. "No! Don't, Elita One! Please don't kill me!" She pleaded.

Narrowing her optics, Elita One shook her head as she cupped her hand around the controller. "Isn't that what my sweet Nightshade said when you stood over her, after draining the others? Did she not beg for her life like you are doing?"

"I am so sorry! I didn't...I mean...! I am sorry for killing her! And the others!" Blackarchnia cried, trying to rip the blade out of her thorax but hissing in pain.

Elita One shook her head as she held it up high. "Lucky for you, I am not like you." She said easing her grip on the controller. And shook her head again when Blackarchnia relaxed. "Unlucky for you, Barricade is." She added before looking towards Barricade, who was swinging at Sweeps nearby. "Barricade!" She called getting his attention. "Catch!"

Barricade frowned but caught whatever she was tossing to him he looked right at it and slowly grinned as he looked cruelly up at Blackarchnia. "Ooh, lookie what I have." He sneered.

"No! You glitch!" Blackarchnia shouted before lunging towards Elita One with thrusting blades. A crazed fury in her burning optics as she went.

"This is for my sister, bitch." Barricade growled before jamming his servo down on the red button.

And Blackarchnia exploded, sending body parts and energon flying out in flames and smoke.

For a moment, both Elita One and Barricade watched as Blackarchnia fell down in pieces, completely off line. They watched with no mercy or sympathy for her. They were only too glad it was over for her.

Then the shock trooper looked at the pink and black femme. "Ya think Nightshade would be mad at me for that?" He asked.

Elita One shook her head as she looked softly at him. "No. She died a horrible, terrifying death that was too cruel for words, Barricade. Your sister, Nightshade would have been proud of you for extracting justice for what Blackarchnia did to her femmes. I am only sorry that I sent her to that place without mechs to protect her. Please forgive me." She told him.

Barricade shook his head as he looked grateful for her words. "Nightshade would kick me in the aft if I hated you, One. She always did look up to you when you were little. Thank you for letting me do that." He stated.

Smiling, Elita One placed a hand on his shoulder. "You are welcome, Barricade." She said softly.

"No!"

Both jerked around when they heard Sideswipe shout suddenly and they looked to see him on his hands and knees, chasing after Sideways, who had the All Spark in his filthy servos.

It looked as if the battle between Sideways and the twins had gone sour. He must have distracted Sideswipe by slashing open Sunstreaker across the chassis, and quite deep too. And during the moment of pain between their link, Sideways had ripped open Sideswipe's chassis to retrieve the All Spark.

Now he was running for it, towards The Fallen.

"No! We must stop him!" Elita One cried as she and Barricade raced forward to help Sideswipe.

Suddenly, Sideways stopped, looking confused and alarmed as the All Spark began to shake in his servos. It was vibrating viciously before starting to shift and transform.

It was unfolding itself, growing larger!

Sideways had no choice but to drop it and leap backwards to avoid getting smashed. He back peddled until he collided into one of his fellow Decepticons, earning a snarl of protest. But even that died to see what was happening.

The All Spark grew large until it was its normal size, towering over many. It caught much attention, even The Fallen's, who hissed and started forward to take it. His path was quickly cut by Optimus but even so more to when the symbols in it began to glow brightly. Everyone watched in surprise as it opened up, emitting brilliant white light again.

Then Alpha Trion and Groundhog stepped out, looking mighty pleased about something. "Ah, you are still fighting out here. I suppose time did pass pretty quickly in there, though in truth we have been inside for orns, if not many cycles." The old mech stated before shrugging innocently. "Then again, time was always funny when it comes to the All Spark."

Sideswipe pushed himself up, his spark spiking rapidly. He could feel it stretching out, searching for its other half. It couldn't find it, however and it made him stiffen with fear and dread. "Al-Alpha Trion...Dawn...is she...?" He was dreading to even ask.

Smiling over at him, Alpha Trion slowly stepped to the side, looking down.

Eyes and optics followed and breaths caught to see quite a bashful looking Dawn standing there. She did look different, however. Almost...taller than she used to be. But it was her. Her deep brown hair falling in waves and curls to below her shoulder, her scars on her arms, though they looked rather strange. Like...glyphs and markings. She wore different clothing, which was strange as it was. She had entered the All Spark in a hospital gown. But now she wore blue jeans and a sunrise colored top of yellow, orange, and pink.

But nonetheless, it was her.

"Sunrise..." Sideswipe spoke ventlessly as he stretched his spark for her.

Smiling faintly, Dawn waved at him before she stretched out hers, barely touching his. She felt his spark enclose hers and it felt so warm. She smiled even more as she watched him sigh in relief as he felt her link to him touch his. "Hi, Sides. Miss me?" She asked as she looked at him with deep morning blue eyes.

Sideswipe smiled back at her, nodding as he caressed her through their link...and then did a double take, his optics widening in realization. "Since when were your eyes blue?" He suddenly asked, making everyone blink in surprise.

Dawn just smiled sheepishly, folding her arms behind her back as she walked towards him. "Oh, that. Well...it is really hard to explain but...eeeep!" She yelped when she was suddenly seized from behind.

"Got you!" Sideways snarled in triumph.
