Chapter 18
The Death Eaters and Voldemort all materialised inside the hanger, and fights immediately broke out. There was a hail of gun and spell fire, and the base became a war zone.
The Autobots saw the Death Eaters land, and forgot the Deceptacon, Ironhide throwing him down. At the hanger doors, they saw a man that looked like the older version of Draco, duelling with Bladewing, who was firing every spell she could at the man. None of them fired at this distance, unsure of hitting anyone on their side.
A flash of green came from Malfoy's wand and hit Bladewing in the shoulder, sending her spinning to the ground. She didn't get up.
Ironhide and Barricade howled at the thought that their sparkling was dead, and readied their weapons, but the man was tackled to the ground by the now human Draco.
Draco tackled his biological father to the ground, before standing. Lucius turned round, and his eyes widened.
"Draco?"
"You made your last mistake, Lucius."
"Draco, I am your father!"
"Not anymore." Draco said, and then he turned into Snakestrike. "I wanted you to see who it really was who killed you for killing her." He moved quickly, and was soon behind Lucius, his arm wrapped round the man's neck. He wouldn't kill the man with magic, instead he'd humiliate him, by doing it the muggle way. He yanked his arm, and heard a 'snap!' as Lucius' neck snapped. At the same time, his wings finally snapped open.
Ironhide picked up Bladewing, whose optics were dim. There was no light at all. "No, Bladewing, please wake up."
"Bladewing." Barricade said, bending over the sparkling, but not enough so that Ironhide could not see her. "I can't sense her spark!" His voice was filled with panic and anger.
Just then, Starscream flew into the base. "Which ones do I start killing?"
"The ones in the black robes." Barricade growled, before turning and blasting several Death Eaters to smithereens, his ex-team mate helping.
Ironhide readied all his weapons, and fired at any Death Eaters he could see, not letting go of his sparkling. He refused to believe she had off lined.
Halo looked around at her surroundings, because she was indeed Halo right now. She seemed to be in a clean and empty Kings Cross station.
"Hey Prongslet." Said a voice she knew well.
Halo turned and saw a grinning Sirius.
"Padfoot!" She said, running to him, and hugging him.
"Hello pup." He said, hugging her back.
"Am I dead?" She asked, after a minute.
"Not quite."
"What do you mean, not quite?"
"Well, do you remember when Voldemort returned?"
"Of course."
"What did he use? And I only need one ingredient."
Halo thought. "My blood."
"Exactly! Got it in one. You have Lily's brains. The night he attacked, when you were one, his soul was so unstable, as he'd torn it many times, and placed pieces in containers to keep him alive, should he be fatally wounded, a piece of his soul broke off, and latched onto you, meaning he couldn't die, until that soul piece was disposed of."
"I had to die?" Halo asked.
"No. The soul piece was destroyed the first time you changed into a sparkling. However, he created another connection between the two of you, the night he returned. By having your blood in him, you can't die so long as he's alive, well, you could choose to die, but you don't have to."
"So, I can go back?"
"Yes." Sirius said, smiling. "Make up your mind quickly, Halo, time is running out. Someone will kill him first, otherwise."
"I'm going back." Halo said. "Tell mum and dad that I love them, and thank you."
"I will, and know they love you too, and are so very proud of you. We all are."
"Bye Sirius." She said, hugging him, one last time.
"Goodbye… Bladewing." He said, hugging her back, before her surroundings faded away.
Ironhide was firing at Death Eaters mercilessly when he heard it.
"Papa?" The groggy question was quiet, and almost drowned out by the noise, but he heard it.
Ironhide looked down at his sparkling and almost whooped for joy. Her optics were shining with life again.
"Bladewing." He said, holding her close to his spark chamber, hand creating a protective barrier. "You're alive."
"I only went to the cross roads. Sirius was waiting. Told me a few interesting things. But now's not the time to fill you in on that."
"Later." Ironhide agreed. He opened his carrying hold, which he'd had installed at the start of the war to help protect injured Sparklings and get them to safety, and placed Bladewing inside.
"Papa?"
"I'm not taking anymore chances. This is a safe place for you to recharge."
"I need to face Voldemort." She said.
"Don't worry about the Prophecy." Ironhide said.
"That's not why. This started with just me and him, and it'll end that way." Bladewing said. "And then I can leave my old life behind fully."
Ironhide sighed. "Fine. But if I see the killing curse heading for you, I'm stepping in."
"So long as Voldemort's alive, I can come back." She said, as she stepped down on the ground.
Ironhide raised an optic ridge, but said nothing, and let her turn and leave in search of Voldemort, before he began blasting at Death Eaters again, all the while, keeping an eye on her.
"Bladewing hasn't gone off line!" He called to the others. "She's sorting out her problem."
"Well, that's a relief." Jazz said, shooting a Death Eater in the face.
Bladewing ran past Hermione who was fiercely duelling Bellatrix LeStrange, and winning, her optics scanned the fighters, and located Voldemort.
"RIDDLE!" She roared, before feeling the very childish urge to run to her daddy, who was closest, and hide behind him. Shaking her head, she changed to human, just as Voldemorts eyes fixed on her.
Halo stalked towards him. "This is between you and me." She said, when she was within his hearing range.
"You think you can beat me girl?"
"I know I can."
He sneered. "You're nothing but a child. Tonight, the girl who lived will become the girl who died."
Halo arched an eyebrow. She saw Fig not too far off, firing his automatic. Just as Voldemort fired his spell, Halo dodged, pulled Fig's hand gun from its holster, and aimed precisely and shot. The bullet hit Voldemort right between the eyes and he went down.
The Death Eaters were all but decimated by now. A few more well placed shots by Halo and the others, and they were gone. Halo threw the gun to Fig, and transformed into Bladewing, before holding her arms up to Barricade, who picked her up. It was all over. The war was over, and she could begin her new life fully. With that thought, she slipped into a deep recharge.
A/N: Please review! Sorry if it's not that good, this was typed with a hangover, but i don't think that's much of an excuse now that I think of it. But please review! There's still more to come yet, not much though.
