Chapter 4 – Quintessa learns about Starblossom
Quintessa watched as Optimus stared out at Earth; she could see something was amiss with him. She narrowed her optics and floated closer toward him; she knew she couldn't have any problems not now when she was so closer to winning.
"Optimus, come here." She instructed as the Prime turned toward her; but didn't move.
Quintessa narrowed her optics; and gave her order once more as Infernocus moved closer toward Optimus.
"I gave you a direct order Optimus I will not do so again." Quintessa growled as Optimus glanced at her; but obeyed her.
The second he got close enough she slapped him once more her optics flaring with fury.
"Do not ever do that again, is that clear?" she snapped.
"Yes," he replied.
Quintessa moved her hand over Optimus' face; and he cringed at first half expecting her to slap him once more.
"I will not punish you for no reason, Optimus, do not be afraid." Quintessa replied as Optimus relaxed.
Quintessa once more reached her hand toward his face; and she placed her hand on his forehead and she saw for herself her creation was in love. But not just any Cybertronian femme but one who had been human at one time; she smiled as she realized her luck.
"You're in love, aren't you, Optimus?" she asked him softly.
"Yes, my maker; please do not take her from me." Optimus begged.
Quintessa smiled then.
"I would not do that to you, Optimus; would you like for her to with us?" Quintessa asked.
Optimus looked up at his maker then.
"Yes, would you allow it?" he asked.
Silence...
"But of course, I will." Quintessa answered. "I am not cruel Optimus; I can see and feel for myself that you love her deeply." Quintessa replied. "She must be very special to capture my creation's spark." Quintessa mused.
Optimus looked up at his maker then.
"She was human once. S-She treated me as an equal. We started out as friends; but then it grew into something very special. I never felt anything like it before; she made me feel wanted and needed. She also made me feel at home on Earth; when I felt so lost and... Alone." Optimus replied.
Quintessa had to admit she saw everything through Optimus' processors and optics; and this femme even as a human truly did love her creation. It amazed her. She held a hatred for the human race; but this girl treated her creation like an equal.
"I am anxious to meet her, Optimus; I believe I will like her very much." Quintessa said. "Would you like to go get her; and bring her back here with you?" Quintessa asked.
"Yes, my maker; I would." Optimus said his voice becoming excited at the mention of that; which Quintessa couldn't help but smile at.
"Very well, you may go back to Earth and bring her back; and then I will meet her and I will allow you some time with her. So then after, we can prepare for our mission of bringing your home back to its former glory." Quintessa replied.
"Thank you, my maker." He replied as he got ready to go back to Earth and bring Starblossom back.
Back on Earth...
Starblossom nearly came undone when Hound confirmed what she already knew; she was sparked with Optimus Prime's sparkling and she was giddy as can be by that news. If only Optimus Prime was safely back home with her now; it would be perfect.
