MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY MANY WONDERFUL READERS!
Optimus Prime/OC
The Christmas Wish
(In a deserted parking lot)
A lone police car was parked and waiting for someone, that would be helping him with a very important problem. The cop car waited for what seemed liked hours, until what looked like a small toy remote controlled truck raced toward the police cruiser.
"You're late Wheelie…." Snarled the cruiser as it suddenly broke apart forming the deadly Decepticon hunter LunaStar.
"Don't flatten me okay, I am here ain't I?" Wheelie remarked.
"Do you have the information I needed?" she demanded.
"Yeah Optimus will be heading down this deserted road; so, you can do what you want on this road and talk to him." Wheelie remarked as Lunastar nodded.
"Thanks Wheelie…" she replied.
Wheelie was silent, and then asked an important question.
"You're gonna defect ain't you?" Wheelie asked.
"I have to if I am ever going to win him…" Lunastar replied.
Wheelie smiled then.
"I hope you can pull it off, Star; though this is the time of year to do it." Wheelie said.
LunaStar glanced at the little minibot and frowned.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"It's Christmas and this is the time of year when humans say miracles happen." Wheelie said as LunaStar just merely looked at the little minibot.
"Then I guess I need all the help I can get, don't I?" she said.
"Yeah, you do…." Wheelie replied.
However, neither Wheelie nor Lunastar were aware of a third party listening in and plotting a devastating plan to destroy the Autobot leader; while he was traveling down said deserted roadway.
::::…. Logical move now, destroy Autobot leader once and for all…:::: Soundwave said more to himself than anyone else.
(Several hours later on the deserted road)
Optimus who was unsuspecting of the attack drove down the road listening to Christmas music. Sam had talked to Optimus about the meaning of Christmas, and why humans celebrate it. It was quite interesting to Optimus the different holidays that humans celebrating.
Ironhide however couldn't grasp the whole Santa Claus concept and wanted to blow him up. It made Optimus chuckle to say the least, Ironhide always put a smile on his face.
Optimus was listening to a Christmas song 'Do you hear what I hear'; when he was suddenly ambushed by both Shockwave and Soundwave taking the Autobot leader completely by surprise.
The fight was brutal and the snow on the ground didn't help matters either. Soundwave sent Laserbeak after Optimus as well, but when Optimus destroyed Laserbeak slicing his energon blade right through the treacherous Cybertronian bird; Soundwave was furious.
Soundwave and Shockwave advanced their attack; until the Autobot leader finally collapsed onto the ground. The ground shook as the Autobot leader landed on the ground fighting stasis lock. They knew his wounds would offline him, if the freezing cold didn't do it first. Shockwave and Soundwave as much as they wanted to watch Optimus perish; but were finding that their own systems were not liking the snow and ice either. They ended up retreating when their own systems started to malfunction from the bitter cold.
"He will not survive, the logical thing to do now is retreat and be able to finish off the other Autobots without their leader they will be defenseless." Soundwave replied as they left a defeated Optimus Prime on the ground.
Optimus groaned, and tried to desperately crawl to shelter and conceal his badly broken body. Energon seeped onto the pure white snow, while the severely injured Autobot leader desperately tried to drag his body to shelter.
Optimus was no fool; he knew his odds were pretty slim of survival. He knew no one knew his position, and as weak as he was he would never survive. He was cold his systems were shutting down, this time when he went offline he wouldn't be returning. He prayed that his men could carry on without him, because right now he knew by morning he would be offline.
He allowed his radio to play the comforting Christmas music, he listened to the words of the Christmas song 'Oh Holy night'. He didn't want to die, he really didn't he wanted to live.
(Where LunaStar and Wheelie were)
LunaStar had revved her engine and started down the strip of deserted road, she figured Optimus should have been there by now. So, she decided to investigate and it was then he happened onto the spot where the battle had taken place.
She suddenly picked up Optimus' signature, but it was very weak.
"What is it…?" Wheelie asked.
"It's Optimus and his energy signatures are low, he is close by." she replied.
LunaStar transformed, and walked until she found the flamed Autobot leader huddled in the snow shivering. She reached Optimus noticing how his optics were dim; he never looked up just groaned and shivered.
"Will he be okay?" Wheelie asked.
"Not if we don't stop his energon from seeping out of those wounds, plus we need to get his systems warm." LunaStar replied as she opened Optimus' chest plates finding the Prime's spark flickering. "No, I will not allow him to offline." she snarled.
She allowed her own chest plates to open up exposing her own spark. The Shock trooper moved closer to the Autobot leader wanting him to sense the safety of another spark close by.
"…C….o….l…d…" was all Optimus could say.
Wheelie watched as Optimus' spark sensing the warmth and safety of another spark nearby moved toward it. It wrapped possessively around the spark accepting what she was giving.
"He's low on energon, but I can't feed him until I patch up these wounds first." she replied.
"Okay, do you need me to do anything?" Wheelie asked.
She thought for a moment, he was no Ratchet or Hook for that matter. Optimus needed a medic, but he needed to get someone who could talk to the other Autobots without having them slag her at the same time.
"Ladiesman217 and his femme can you contact them?" she asked.
"Okay I can send a commlink to his guardian while you patch him up." Wheelie said as he did just that.
LunaStar knew her brother Barricade and Bumblebee had a terrible past; she also prayed he scout wouldn't slag her for being Barricade's sister. She glanced down at the gaping hole in Optimus' chest, and then her optics traveled down to the way his one servo hung useless at his side. Her anger flared at the punishment Optimus suffered obviously at the hands of several Decepticons.
"Optimus…?" she said.
Silence…
"Can you hear me….?" LunaStar asked.
The only response he received from Optimus were moans of agony. She touched Optimus' face plates, while she continued to feed Prime's spark with her own.
"I know you hurt, I'm trying to stabilize your spark first alright?" she replied as Wheelie rolled over.
The look on Wheelie's face bothered her slightly, she didn't like things to complicate her plans not one bit.
"What's wrong…?" LunaStar asked.
"Bumblebee said he couldn't get through to anyone at the base, because of the storm. I gave him our location he, Sam and the warrior goddess are coming." Wheelie said as she growled.
She ran her clawed hand over the Prime's face.
"Don't you dare give up, do you hear me! Don't be a slagging flaming brat, this is nothing do you hear me!" Luna roared as Optimus moaned; but jumped at the sound of her voice.
Luna's spark strengthened around Optimus' spark; Optimus onlined his optics slightly but whether he truly knew what and who he was seeing was unclear.
"I am not going to let you just perish out here, Optimus." Luna replied.
It was clear to Luna that Optimus was severely incoherent, but what bothered her was the severe cold which could damage Optimus' systems.
However, Luna needed somewhere to take Optimus away from the bitter cold and snow. It was then he heard a vehicle pull up and saw Bumblebee approaching with his two human charges.
Bumblebee transformed as soon as Sam and Mikaela climbed out of his vehicle form. Bumblebee hurried over to Optimus who was like a mech creator to him.
"Is he alright?" Bumblebee asked as Sam and Mikaela ran up.
"Who attacked him…?" Sam asked.
"I am not sure we found him like this, we didn't see the battle." Luna said.
Sam looked at Optimus and then at Bumblebee, his eyes watering.
"Will he be okay?" Sam asked.
"We need some place to take him. It has to be warm the cold is not good for his systems not at all." Luna replied.
Mikaela snapped her fingers, and then hit Sam in his arm making him growl at her.
"Owww…...!" Sam exclaimed.
"Oh, don't be such a baby that didn't hurt." She snapped.
"Okay look enough, we need to hurry or he won't survive." Luna snarled as she and Bumblebee took hold of Optimus and carried him following Mikaela to a deserted warehouse.
Once there, Luna was able to concentrate on patching Optimus up as best she could. Sam and Mikaela sat watching Luna both wondering why Luna had a change in heart.
"Why are you saving him?" Sam asked in a weird tone.
Silence….
"I want to defect…" was all she said.
"It's more than that…..." Bumblebee remarked. "What about your brother Barricade?" Bee asked her suspiciously.
She never moved, she couldn't her attention needed to be on Optimus not Bumblebee or the humans.
"If you must know I care about him, I would like for us to be…..." she stopped in mid-sentence then. "Barricade is not a part of this; he does not matter." Luna remarked sourly.
Silence….
"Sparkmates…?" Bumblebee asked suddenly understanding.
Silence….
"Yes sparkmates…..." she said.
Sam, Mikaela and Bumblebee glanced at Luna and then at Optimus.
"You really care about him, don't you?" Sam asked.
Luna never missed a beat, she answered without shame without faltering.
"Yes, I do…." He replied. "I wouldn't be trying to save his life if I didn't care what happened to him." she snapped.
"Who did this to him, these are nasty wounds." Mikaela asked.
"It was Decepticons and when I learn exactly who it was, they will wish I didn't." she snapped.
Luna worked on Optimus' wounds never stopping once, He had Bumblebee hold down Optimus a few times when he knew the flamed bot would move.
Sam and Mikaela still couldn't believe the femme was risking everything to save Optimus. Wheelie however explained the real reason shocking the two humans completely with his words.
"She cares for Optimus and wants a relationship with him." Wheelie explained as both humans sat there dumbfounded by the turn of events now.
"What…?" Sam asked shocked.
"Is that so hard for you to understand, ladiesman217?" Luna finally asked.
Sam lowered his gaze, but then looked up once more.
"It's just…." Sam started to say, until Optimus' moans cut him short. "Will he be okay?" Sam asked.
"He needs a medic, I can only do so much for him but this slagging storm will only make matters worse for him." Luna replied softly.
Optimus looked warily toward Luna, he winced and moved his good hand toward the shock trooper.
"…...Thank ...You for trying to …save me…" Optimus whispered.
Luna looked at the hand, which was outstretched but trembling with pain.
"I am not letting you offline save your words, Prime." she snarled.
Optimus smiled sadly and let his hand fall back down. He wanted to purge his tanks, he was feeling so rotten.
"I am not letting you die, do you hear me Optimus." she remarked as she leaned in once more going to work trying to patch the Autobot leader up.
Optimus offlined his optics, while Luna continued to patch him up. Optimus was tired, in agony, and he was cold. Bumblebee stayed by his leader's side as well, he watched as the female shock trooper continued to patch and clean out wounds.
(Several hours later)
Optimus was recharging along with Wheelie, Bumblebee and his charges. Luna however was online and doing of all things…praying.
"I know I am the last Cybertronian you would expect to talk to you, but I need one of your miracles. Wheelie said the humans here on this planet at this time of year pray for miracles. Well I am asking for one, it's not for me it's for Optimus. He is really badly injured and I am afraid he will offline. He means so much to his Autobots, NEST and these two humans younglings and …... he means everything to me. I am not sure what else to do for him please if you can help bring a miracle, I would be rather grateful." Luna prayed as she looked down at Optimus and leaned down to kiss the Prime's lip plates. "You've got to pull through this…" Luna whispered.
"You just sent the prayer request buster give it time, have some faith will ya…." A new voice replied as the femme spun around ready to do battle.
She stared at the human looking at her, he showed absolutely no fear; which struck her as odd to say the least.
"Who are you…?" she asked.
"I am here to talk to you, your trying to change and make amends for your past sins not just Primus can see that." The man replied.
"That doesn't answer my question, who are you?" she asked.
He smiled confusing Luna slightly.
"If you must know my name is Gabriel I am an Arch Angel to the Lord of this world and universe. The Allspark created you and your race, but it was my Lord that created everything else. I believe you asked for a miracle for Optimus Prime, you shall get your miracle and then some." Gabriel said as a bright light flashed causing Luna to cover his optics.
When she uncovered them Gabriel was gone, but in his place standing there was Frenzy looking quite dazzled.
"Frenzy….?" Luna asked softly as Frenzy looked up and then back down at the severely injured Prime and seeing his partner's sister as well.
"…Prime hurt badly…" Frenzy said moving closer.
"Yeah, he is, Frenzy; how are you online you were offline?" she asked in a bewildered tone of voice.
"…...Primus brought me back to help…." Frenzy said as he saw the way Luna tended to the injured Autobot leader. "Luna…...cares for Autobot leader?" asked Frenzy tilting his head to the side.
"Yes Frenzy, I do…." She replied.
"Okay, Frenzy help…."
Luna was definitely shocked Frenzy used to be a dangerous little minibot, but now he was so much different than she remembered.
But then again, she had done her fair share of killing Autobots in the past as well. She looked down at Optimus, and prayed the Autobot leader could find it in his spark to forgive her.
"I hope you can forgive me Optimus…" she replied running her claw over the Prime's face.
She sighed. and then turned to see Bumblebee walking up.
"The commlink is working now I gave them our location, so NEST is on its way with a C-17 to fly Optimus back home to the base…" Bumblebee started to say until they heard a noise.
"That is not acceptable Optimus Prime must be eliminated at once…..."
Everyone turned to see Soundwave and Shockwave in the doorway.
Luna's main weapon was activated; Frenzy also took a fighting stance to protect the downed Prime. Bumblebee also took his canons out, while his battle mask went into place.
"Resisting will be pointless and illogical…." Soundwave sounded to say until he was attacked by Luna who was furious.
"You were the slaggers who hurt him…!" Luna exclaimed as she laid once more into Soundwave.
Luna had a job to do and that was keeping Optimus alive and online, she wouldn't allow Soundwave or Shockwave to win. Luna's fighting became more aggressive and more dangerous. There was a reason Megatron had Luna and her brother on his team in the beginning they were focused and both were deadly.
"This is illogical why are you protecting him?" Soundwave demanded.
"I care about him and you will not offline him not while I still have a spark inside of me." she snarled slamming Soundwave against the wall.
Silence…...
"Say goodnight Soundwave!" Luna snarled as she slammed her fist into Soundwave's chest and ripped his spark out of his chest killing Soundwave instantly.
She smirked at the one optic Con, and then she tackled him bringing him down and slaying him as well. After the battle, she collapsed near Optimus and curled up near the battered Prime.
"No one messes with my Autobot leader…..." she snarled.
"Your Autobot leader…...?" Bee asked.
"MY Autobot leader…" she repeated as they heard sounds behind them and found shocked Autobots and humans standing there.
Everyone looked wide eyed at the two mangled corpses of Soundwave and Shockwave, Lennox glanced at Bumblebee who shrugged and pointed toward Luna.
"She protected Optimus the whole time…" Bumblebee said.
"I'll be damned…." Lennox replied.
"Wait a sec!" Sam finally exclaimed.
Silence…
"What is it….?" Luna asked.
"How did Frenzy come, he wasn't there before?" Sam asked as Wheelie watched Luna.
"I made a special prayer for Optimus to survive, and an arch angel came he said his name was Gabriel." Luna answered as everyone's mouth hung open in shock not wanting to believe, but having to believe something had happened to change Luna and Frenzy that night.
"Christmas miracle…..." Mikaela said.
"I think there were several tonight you saved his life Luna." Ratchet replied.
Ironhide walked up toward the ex- con femme and extended his servo toward her.
"You're alright Luna…" Ironhide said as she accepted the gesture from the older bot.
"Thanks…" she said as Ironhide nodded.
"You're welcome…..." Ironhide said punching Luna in her servo. " You done good…" Ironhide replied using off kilter grammar as always, but you don't correct Ironhide not if you wanted to live.
(Several weeks later and Christmas eve)
Optimus was waiting for his official release from the medical bay, when Luna walked in to check on him.
"Hey, how are you?" she asked.
"Much better thank you…" he said.
"I'm glad…..." Luna said.
Silence…
"You saved my life, thank you…" Optimus replied.
"Your life is worth saving…" Luna said.
Optimus' optics dimmed, and then brightened.
"Why…...?" Optimus asked as she looked up and smiled.
"Because I care about you more than you realize…" Luna said. "I know I have done evil things in the past; but I want to leave my past and start over with you and the Autobots." she said.
"So, you want to defect…?" Optimus asked smirking slightly.
Silence…
"Well yes, but there is more to it than that…" she said.
Optimus put one long leg over the other still smirking.
"Really such as…...?" Optimus replied.
"You're going to make me say it, aren't you?" Luna asked.
"Oh yes, Luna, I am it's not every day I get such a hot femme hitting on me." Optimus said with a sly wink.
Silence…
"Alright…..."
Silence….
"I am crazy about you alright there I said it…." Luna said.
"See, that wasn't that hard, was it?" Optimus asked as Luna growled and pounced on Optimus kissing him.
"Merry Christmas, Optimus…." she said after their lip plates parted.
"Merry Christmas Luna, thank you for saving me…" Optimus said as Luna started to kiss him once more proving to her leader, prime and future mate Christmas really was the season for miracles….
The end
