Authors Note: This chapter is rated Mature due to child abuse, death and swearing.
The Decepticon plucked the weeping organic youngling up from the ground and started walking through the forest. Lilly curled up in to the warm hands sniffling once in a while as they passed through the trees towards her home.
"Wave, will you stay with me today? Dad won't be home until tomorrow afternoon. We can have a sleep over!"
Anger still pulsed through her systems at the flesh bag that was the femmelings mech creator as she broke through the trees surrounding the property. She couldn't understand why a creator would injure and then abandon their sparkling to their own devices of unknown periods of time.
'The fragger better be thanking Primus that he wasn't in blaster range.' She thought to herself.
Lilly mistook the pause thinking she had said something that had angered Wave.
"You don't have to, I mean, if you have work to do I don't want your boss to get angry at you." The girl added.
Crimson optics seemed to soften as they glanced down at the child, air hissed through her vents as Wave pushed her frustration from her processors while she pondered the humans request, taking time to look up the concept of a "Sleep over". The seeker cringed slightly at several sites that explained what occurred during such an event. She was not allowing Lilly to paint any part of her… she liked her color scheme just the way it was besides she had a Decepticon reputation to keep up.
"I will stay with you this cycle, if Starscream wishes for me to return to base then he can contact me via the Com link but I will have to use another form.
Lilly looked up at the seeker confusion written across her features, Wave's engine purred in amusement as she set the girl down. She looked up and watched in awe as her alien friend flickered and vanished right before her eyes, the ground jolted under foot from the heavy seekers foot steps, Birds cried out in alarm as the trees groaned and swayed when she retreated back into the forest. Lilly almost jumped out of her skin a few seconds later when she felt someone touch her shoulder, turning around she saw a teenage girl with long platinum blond hair standing right next to her.
"Is this form acceptable?" The girl asked.
Holding her arms out to the sides and turning in a complete circle, she wore all black with silver outlining the sleeves and collar of the shirt the Purple symbol like that on Wave's wings dangled on a small necklace around her neck. Blond hair pulled back into a braid down pasted her waist, the only thing unusual about her was her glowing red irises.
"Wave?" Lilly asked touching the girl in front of her to make sure she was real.
"In the flesh." She replied glancing down.
"Mostly." She added with a lopsided smirk.
"What happened to your body?" Lilly asked.
"It is in jet form behind your dwelling, no humans will see it. My stealth subroutines are running." Human Wave replied.
"What is it you wish to do? I am not accustom to this human activity called a sleep over, just do not paint any part of my chassis with any, unnatural, colors." Lilly laughed as she led her alien turned human friend in to the house.
Neither were aware of the silver Pontiac solstice, and the bright yellow Chevy Camaro as they drove by slowly. Jazz and Bumblebee watched as the human youngling pull the Decepticon's holoform into the house. They had both heard the conversation between the two, what they couldn't figure out was why a human child would willingly associate with a being that could crush her at the slightest whim.
Jazz sent a message with the clip of the two femmes from the point of the femme seeker walking through the trees to the human youngling pulling her into her dwelling to Optimus.
"Prime to Jazz"
"Go ahead Jazz"
"Prime you need to see this, just found the seekers newest addition and your never gonna believe what she is doing."
The line was quite for a few moments as the Prime watched and processed the clip. "The familiarity the human shows the youngling indicates that this is not their first meeting. Colonel Lennox confirms that a human child of this age group would not willingly greet someone in such a way unless they have known them for a long period of time."
"Should we try to bring the seeker in?"
"No, I want you to keep an optic on the femmling. Do not engage unless the human youngling is in danger doing so could put her at risk or cause undue trauma. Master Sargent Epps will be there in the morning to speak to the femme's parental unit. Contact me if the situation changes."
"Sure thing Boss-bot Jazz out."
Both cars pulled into a small notch in the trees just out of sigh of the house and turned their headlights off, keeping sensors on high alert as the settled in for a long night of surveillance.
The next morning Darkwave awoke from recharge to the sound of Soundwave pinging her on the COM link."Lord Soundwave." Darkwave greeted with curious respect.
Off duty Soundwave rarely acknowledged her let alone spoke to her. Or any of the other lower ranking troops for that matter unless he was relaying an order from their leader.
"Lord Megatron wishes to see you in the Command center." He informed.
"Yes sir, I will be there shortly. Darkwave out."
Wave activated her Hologram and materialized into Lilly's kitchen, she had turn it off after the girl had gone into stasis...Or sleep as the humans preferred to call it.
"I must report to base I shall contact you later." Lilly looked up from her breakfast and nodded as the hologram winked out.
The two cars from the night before watched as the black and silver seeker took off from the forest floor and shot off into the morning sky. Jazz logged on to his side of the comlink.
"Prime."
"Optimus here, go ahead Jazz."
"The femme just left sending her current heading now."
Bumblebee scanned the house and the humans vital signs before sending his findings to the SIC.
"The kid's vitals are normal. Heading back to base. Jazz out."
Darkwave walked in to the command center and knelt before The Decepticon leader head bowed with one hand in a fist over her spark.
"You summoned me Lord Megatron?"
The giant Mech looked down at the seeker femme and nodded. He waved everyone else out of the room.
" Yes Darkwave."
A power surge swept through her system as she noticed the only ones in the room were her and Megatron. She shivered slightly once more as she heard the giant Mech walk forward.
"You may rise Darkwave, My Spark mate need not bow so low."
Darkwave's head snapped up as she got up, confusion written all over her face plates.
"L-lord Megatron I don't compute. Is there another femme that has made land fall!?"
Dark tried to keep her voice steady while looking for a way out, knowing in her spark that no one had come to the planet since her arrival.
Megatron's optics burned into hers freezing her in place. "No femme, you are the only one here."
His arm reached out and pushed her back into a high seat next to his throne.
Panic started to settle and solidify deep in her fuel tank as clamps secured her wings to the back of the seat as well as her arms and legs.
"L-Lord Megatron what's going on!"
She struggled to get free as wires came from the back of the seat and started to plug themselves in to various ports on her chassis.
Megatron typed a command into the Nemesis's computer.
"As the only Decepticon femme on this pathetic mud ball of planet you must be aware of your duty to continue our race. Surly you remember the warehouse, it was being made into a factory that would produce the bodies of our future Decepticon army. The Autobot's attack was only a minor set back. Ah Triantulas welcome. I was beginning to think you wouldn't come."
A low and sickeningly smooth voice came from her right. "Lord Megatron you have summoned me so I came. Is this your femme then, She seems a bit... young."
A black and Green Mech stepped from the shadows his optics gazing at the Femme seeker fighting against the chair.
"She will do." Megatron responded as Tarantulas walked forward and began looking her over. Darkwave tried to pull away from the Mechs prying hands.
"Darkwave, this is our local Medic and Scientist he will be conducting a Maintenance check to make sure that your Spark is strong enough to withstand the ceremony and bonding to mine."
"Sit still now Femme this will only take a moment…Lord Megatron your aware she hasn't had her final upgrade are you not?"
Megatron sat in his seat and pressed a button wires came out and connected to various points on his chassis.
"She will get it when the bonding ceremony is complete."
Darkwave fought the bonds that held her down. "Stop I don't want to be bonded I'm not ready!"
Triantulas pried open her cockpit revealing the pale blue pulsing ball of energy that was her Spark.
"Ah what a strong Spark, I believe you will be pleased with your choice Lord Megatron."
Darkwave stiffened as he plugged a cable into a connection next to the chamber.
"Don't fight it Femme it will only cause discomfort." Triantulus commented with an eerie chuckle.
Megatron had opened his casing and had begun the bonding processes when Starscream walked through the doors and froze as Megatron glared at Him.
"What is it Starscream?" He hissed.
Starscream glanced at Darkwave then back at Megatron his optics flickered for a microsecond before returning to normal.
"Lord Megatron three Meteors have landed to the west one of them is Decepticon in origin. The Autobots are on their way to investigate."
Megatron's engines revved loudly as the cables disconnected canceling the bonding sequence. Darkwave issued a chirp as her frame relaxed and her optics when dark.
"I have taken the femme offline we will wait for your return." Triantulas explained, removing the cable from the femme's spark casing.
Starscream bowed as Megatron stalked out of the Command center.
"Starscream to Thundercracker." He called over the privet link.
"Thundercracker here.." Came the accented reply.
"Megatron has tried to force bond with Darkwave. When we leave I want you to take the Spider offline and bring her out of stasis. I will not let Megatron take what is rightfully mine, afterwards I want you to follow us out and meet us at the landing site. Starscream out."He signed off the link as he transformed to follow Megatron.
Five minutes later an electrical surge swept threw Darkwave's from causing her optics to light up before fading dark once more, Triantulas lifted an optic ridge and walked over.
"Your trying to reboot your systems… Fascinating." He muttered typing at the consul she was hooked up to.
Thundercracker walked into the command center weapon in hand as another more powerful surge raked threw the Femmes body.
"What are y… Argh!" Triantulas shrieked as an electrical pulse ripped threw his circuitry taking him offline.
Thundercracker subspaced his pistol and begun to release the clamps holding her to the chair. As soon as he picked the femme up another surge ripped through Thundercracker's circuits as it did Triantulas's. Bright red optics flared to life as Darkwave came back online, seeing the two Mechs on the ground in-front of her, memories slammed into her processors of what had happened sending her programming into a frenzy of panic and fear as she transformed and took of through the base corridors as fast as her thrusters could carry her.
((Authors note!: If swearing child abuse and death upsets you then I must ask that you skip this part.))
Master Sargent Epps and Jason Elester shook hands, as they walked to the front door of the house.
"Thank you for your coöperation Mr. Elester I can't stress enough how dangerous this group is."
"No problem, I just don't believe that my little girl would associate with someone like that, I hope you catch them."
"Just let her know to be careful your daughter seems like a smart girl, but she wouldn't be the first person that they have tricked to get what they wanted. Have a nice evening Mr. Elester."
"You to Master Sargent take care."
Jason closed the door and leaned against the door with his eyes closed, taking deep breaths as he listened to the military trucks powerful engine fade as it drove off down the road. Dark brown eyes snapped open when floor boards creaked as Lilly looked at her father from behind the kitchen wall.
"Get your little lying ass up to your room and don't even think about coming down until I call you, I will deal with you later."
Three days later no one heard a child's voice as it echoed through the trees crying out for her alien friend to save her. The young voice let out a blood curdling scream before it was suddenly cut off, leaving the forest unnaturally quite for the rest of the night. Several hours later the dawn was heralded by the flashing of lights and the wail of sirens of police, fire and rescue, and an ambulance.
An elderly paramedic loaded the gurney with a small form covered with a white sheet into the ambulance and closing the door, slapping the side of the vehicle as a female police officer walked up to him.
"Do you think she's going to make it?"
The paramedic shook his head sadly as he pulled off his rubber gloves.
"She'll be lucky if she survives the trip to the hospital."
"I have never seen that much damage from a fall."
"It's not uncommon if she fell from the top of the roof as her father claims." He replied as he got into the fire and rescue truck slamming the door harder a little then was probably necessary.
"What convinces a kid to climb to the roof of their house just to get reception on their phone to..."
The officer paused and looked up at the older man beside her. "You don't think she fell do you."
The man leaned out the window and sharp grey eyes narrowed at the girl's father.
"There is no proof but after a few years of getting called on child abuse cases you can almost pick the bastards out of a crowd."
The officer glances over at her partner who was speaking with and consoling the father next to an older man who claimed to be his boss.
"He has an air tight alibi."
The paramedic leaned back with a scowl marring his features as he started the engine.
"There always is... I just hope he gets what he deserves." Came the reply as he drove off.
That afternoon Lilly Elester slipped into a coma, three weeks later she was removed from life support. Three days after that she was laid to rest near a large Oak tree that had seen to many children buried at it roots.
