11 – Open your Spark
The portal was like a vortex, spinning down to Unicron…
"Who are you?!" Alexis screamed as her captor soared down the bright tunnel made of blue light.
"My name is Sideblast, and I am part of Unicron!" She said and smirked at the struggling human in her hand. Alexis suddenly glowed and her clothes were replaced with a spacesuit…
***
Starscream transformed as he zoomed town the vortex. He had to save her!
'But why?' He continued to ask himself.
But the answer was something he could not find. His emotions had grown for the woman as he had spent time with her. And been human too…
Primus, these are nothing but forbidden feelings! But…
There was no denying it any longer. He was falling for her.
His dark side continued to argue, saying that there was no way a Transformer could ever fall for a human, and that she would never feel the same towards him. But he didn't take heed of it. His mind was whacked in turmoil and pain so strong he actually felt it. If only there was a way to solve this…
His feet touched the ground inside Unicron. He knew he was just by looking around. Even if he hadn't seen this place in 10 lunar orbits, he would never forget this place…
He started to search.
***
Alexis was thrown into a cage. She hit the wall a bit roughly, but was okay.
"You're never going to destroy him." Sideblast said and closed the door.
Alexis curled up into a ball and softly cried, clutching her rock to her heart…
***
Astrotrain had taken them out of Earth's atmosphere to fight Unicron. The bots flew around in space, trying to get a good shot at the monster.
"All this time! I never really died!" Unicron yelled as he blasted the bots.
"You did! I saw you die!" Optimus screamed and blasted him.
"There is still hatred for me to feed off! I merely teleported to another place you fool!" He yelled and batted Jetfire out of the way, who had been about to fire his gun on him.
"So that is what I was so unsure about." Optimus muttered as he combined with Jetfire to start another assault.
"You may have unhinged me for a small time, but it wasn't long before I regained my strength! I have waited 10 years to battle you and destroy you again. And now I'll have that chance!"
"That will never happen!" Jet Optimus shouted and fired.
***
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
'This must be bone central!' Starscream thought to himself as he stepped over some of the many bones that littered the area. What they were doing there and how they got there was a mystery that Starscream didn't feel up to solving.
He continued to walk on when he thought he heard sobbing.
Ho stopped.
The rock.
He got it out of his subspace and saw instantly that it was glowing faintly. The sobbing was coming from it. Alexis must be using it somehow!
As he walked on the glow got brighter, acting as a beacon.
The seeker transformed and flew though a passageway at low-ish speed. He suddenly met a lit room with a cage propped up on the wall. And inside was Alexis!
He transformed and ran over to the cage, smiling as bright as the sun.
Alexis looked up to see an oh – too familiar jet streak into the room. She beamed in happiness as Starscream transformed and ran over, looking delighted.
"Starscream! Thank goodness!" Alexis said as he smashed open the cage and picked her up.
He just smiled at her, which in itself was a rare occurrence.
Suddenly, a blast echoed though the room as Sideblast sprinted into the room, furious and trigger-happy.
Starscream placed Alexis on his shoulder before shooting at the spawn of Unicron, who disintegrated into static energy. She reappeared behind Starscream and fired, hitting him in the back and sending him hurling forwards.
Alexis held on as tight as she could, trying not to fall out.
Starscream whirled around and shot at the femme, but she just turned to static again and shot him in the chest. He was propelled back into the wall, sparks flying from his chest area.
Sideblast was about to finish him off when Unicron spoke in her head.
~The others are attacking! Get out there now!~
~But Uni-~
~I said NOW!~
The femme let out an annoyed sigh and teleported.
^^^^^Start playing the song^^^^^
Starscream tried to hide a small gasp but failed. The femme had hit him with a powerful cannon like gun that usually destroyed transformers with three blasts. Alexis climbed down Starscream's frame and stood on the ground, looking up at the transformer. Her face held a mixture of guilt and sorrow. This was all her fault…
"I'm sorry Starscream…" She whispered.
"Just go." He said coldly. He didn't even understand why he was suddenly so cold towards her, but he was hurt, angry and all because he had decided to chase after some human woman.
She cringed and stepped back. Starscream struggled, but he stood and turned his back on her, not wanting to talk to anyone.
"I'm sorry…" She whispered again, tears coming out and spilling down her cheeks. She slammed her eyes closed and pressed the space rock close to her heart. The tears fell on the stone, each time making it glow brighter.
"This is all my fault…"
The rock now shone with light, shining though the gaps in her fingers…
Starscream turned his head slightly, guilt starting to surface in his spark.
"I want you to…be with me … forever…"
At this, the stone flared like a flame and engulfed Alexis' body in an unholy neon green light.
Starscream turned and started at Alexis, who was shimmering with the light.
Suddenly, like a brilliant emerald flame, the light shot upwards to near Starscream's height. The seeker watched with his mouth agape as the light began to take shape…
Alexis felt her body change. She had grown and her limbs had become stronger…
A shape of a transformer with Seeker wings shimmered before him. The light started to fade to reveal a stunning femme transformer, exactly where Alexis had stood before.
She was a deep burgundy with bright purple highlights. She had a jet cockpit making up most of her torso and hips. Two identical wings sat on her back with slender limbs in front on either side. Her hands were clasped in front of her still, and her face was like that of Alexis. She opened her optics, revealing them to be gold.
Her arms fell to her side as she placed the green rock in her subspace. She knew where it was because of the robot work she had done.
She stared at the motionless Seeker opposite her and said, "Hi…"
Her voice was still sad, but Starscream just stood, staring at the new femme with his mouth still agape. He had liked Alexis by her personality alone before, but this … he couldn't believe it.
But he couldn't fall for her. She was still human inside.
Starscream looked away and Alexis said at once, "I know how you feel now."
He remained silent, but she could tell he was listening.
"I was scared of it too. I had never felt anything like it before and I knew, somehow, it felt right. I know I'm still a human inside, but we can get around it now. I know why you got that stone. It was fate that guided you to it. I'm sure now.
I don't know why we were chosen, but Unicron is feeding off the hate of a different kind now. I understand it all now. We're the key to destroying him because we share a link between humans and transformers. And that link is love."
Starscream turned to her. What she said made sense.
"These stones responded to us when we felt need to be close to one another. It helped us in a way that not only made our bond stronger, but more powerful in defeating the darkness that is Unicron.
So I don't care anymore Starscream. I don't care whether you hate me or not –"
At this, Starscream faced her fully.
"I love you, and I always will. Please, I know that it's hard, and that you think that a human and a Transformer should never be together, try to open your mind. I know you can't hate me, because your stone responded to you. Please … open your spark to me."
Starscream watched as she bowed her head, her speech finished. So she did … love him.
He had had enough. If this was really his fate, and if he spent the rest of his life with anyone else, he knew Alexis would never go away. He walked right up to her, forgetting the pain and stood in front of her. She raised her head to look into his optics, knowing he was just going to insult her, or do something else, but …
His face showed his mind was battling again be finally, he slammed his optics shut and shouted "OH SLAG IT!"
With that, he grabbed her wings and kissed her. She fell against him and he held her as tightly as he could, forgetting everything. He didn't care anymore. She was right. They were meant for each other and he didn't care what anyone thought anymore. His arms circled her back as he thought the one thing that he thought would torment him. But now … it felt good.
He loved her. That was that.
Alexis didn't really expect this. She fell into his embrace; wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him back just as forcefully; all her emotions breaking though her mental barrier.
They stayed like that for a long time. Neither wanting to let go of the other …
***
Sideblast watched from her screen. Unicron had told her, screamed in her mind to destroy them both.
But she couldn't.
Her life had not been an unloved one. Unknown to Unicron, she had formed a bond with Sideways, and she would never forget the day he was destroyed. As evil as he was, she found him her match in every way. Seeing those two made her sad, not angry as many would think. She turned off the screen and teleported…
***
They slowly broke off. Neither had wanted to let go, but the thought of where they were came back to them.
Starscream gazed into Alexis' face with a mixture of puzzlement and passion. Even if he had finally stopped being stubborn about himself, he still had one question to ask.
"Why me?" He whispered.
She smiled, "Because you're my friend."
He smiled too. He had heard her use that on him before, and in the same place too.
Suddenly, the ground began to rumble and they looked around in alarm. Unicron was going to explode!!
"Get over here!" A voice said.
The two looked around and saw Sideblast standing there, an expression of urgency on her face.
Starscream was about to fire when Alexis placed a hand on his shoulder.
She was smiling and said, "C'mon."
Starscream was confused, but didn't argue. Alexis looked like she knew what she was doing.
Outside, the transformers watched in awe as Unicron shrieked with pain. There was no evil to feed on anymore…
The two seekers followed Sideblast to Unicron's mouth. She was starting to feel herself go offline. She was a part Unicron and if he died, she would too.
The bots flew out of Unicron's mouth as Sideblast started to disappear.
"Why?" Alexis whispered.
"Because I was once in love too…" She disappeared…
Unicron exploded.
_______________________________________________
This chapter was one of the hardest to write, but took a surprisingly short time because it seemed to write itself in parts. I wanted to add much more detail in this chapter than the others because it had to explain a good deal of things.
So Alexis and Screamer are finally together you think? Well, there is much more to this I promise you. I hope that bit about Sideblast was allright. even if this is a romance fic, i didn't want it overly sappy. I hope the attempt worked.
Is this the end? Nope! There is still a fair bit to be covered and I will very soon I promise!
Till then!
