Chapter 8 – Starblossom meets Quintessa
After Jack explained who had hit Stripes everyone looked shocked; especially Cade who knew Optimus would not just out right strike someone without reason to.
"That doesn't seem like something Optimus would do, guys." Cade remarked.
"Well, if Optimus Prime is the flamed Autobot he is the one who did it I saw him; and he took off with the girl Autobot." Jack explained.
"Starblossom? Well, she is his mate he must have come back for her; but why would he hit Stripes for?" Hound asked.
"I might know," Bee replied slowly. "Just not sure I should say anything right now."
"Care to enlighten me then?" Stripes asked in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Starblossom doesn't trust you she is concerned that you'll try to hurt Optimus; and she will not hesitate to protect him." Bee said.
"Didn't know he needed protecting from me but it could be the other way around after this last little stunt he just pulled!" Stripes snapped.
Silence…...
"Look all of you, Starblossom is sparked and that will make Optimus and her equally as easy to anger especially Optimus because he loves her and will protect her at any cost. You throw in a sparkling and he will be deadly; so, I suggest you behave Stripes and don't cause any problems with the boss or his mate." Hound said firmly.
"But still begs the question where did they go; and why?" Drift asked.
"Or why he socked me," Stripes mumbled. "I owe him one." Stripes remarked as Bumblebee heard the comment and narrowed his optics as he realized he had to watch Stripes very carefully.
Xxx
Optimus and Starblossom got to what was left of Cybertron; and Star looked around. Her optics looked so sad.
"I am so sorry this happened to your home." She whispered as she turned toward Optimus; and ran her hand over his face making him make a sound that always drove her nuts.
"Do you have any idea what you do to me, Optimus?" she asked with a smirk.
"Why don't you tell me or… We could find our way into a private area and take some time alone together." Optimus said nipping at her neck cables making her smile.
"I'd like that but first I am excited to meet your creator; can I meet her first?" Star asked as
Optimus looked so honored by her words.
"Of course, come with me, my dear." Optimus took her by the hand and led her to where Quintessa was.
Optimus walked up toward where Quintessa was; and Star watched everything Optimus did and when he knelt in front of Quintessa was Star followed suit shocking Quintessa at first.
"You are Starblossom I presume, correct?" she asked.
"Yes mame, I am." Starblossom said.
"I am very glad to finally meet you, Optimus loves you very much." Quintessa replied.
Star smiled; and glanced at Optimus with so much love in her spark for him.
"The feeling is quite mutual he's my whole world; and now he will have the family he's always wanted." Star replied as Star's words hit Quintessa oddly.
"You are sparked?" Quintessa asked.
"Yes, I am." Star said as Quintessa glanced briefly at Infernocus her mind working overtime on the possibilities now.
