Hi everyone IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaack. And better than ever. You all are in for a real treat this time around. And also I am still taking suggestions for any names for the still unnamed chapters but none for the named ones. So kick back and relax and don't worry. I hired a hit man for Peter he won't last very long. *RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING…RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING…..RIIIIIIIIII-* Hello Trevor Speaking….. WHAT THE FRAG ARE YOU SAYING ENRICO GOT KILLED AND PETER GOT THIS LOCATION! I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE! *Slams phone on floor and runs away.*
(Several hours latter)
*Pants heavily* This….. should….. be….. far enough … …... Okay I'm good and I don't own transformers or Sky and Remember if you want to know more about Sky look up Sky's Limit5 the Creator of Sky.
Sky on-lined to feel herself pressed against something. For a moment, she was trying to figure out what had happened the night before; then everything came back to her. She moved of the berth, staring at Emeraldfire, her cooling fans activating once again.
"Hey there sleepy head had a good recharge?" Emeraldfire smiles at her talking kind of loudly to hide that his cooling fans have come on too. Sky stared at him in shock. He stayed beside her the whole night?
"Uh..." Now Sky understood the human term 'had a dry mouth'. "...Yes?"
"That's good now let's get downstairs for that breakfast I promised you." Sky numbly followed him out of her quarters. She had just told a mech she barely knew her hidden past. A past only Ratchet knew about.
'You needed to let someone else know.' A nagging voice said in the back of her processor.
'Shut up.' Sky thought.
While Sky was eating Optimus came into the kitchen."Sky, Emeraldfire. I have a mission for you."
"What can we do for ya Optimus?" Emeraldfire looks up from kneading energon. Sky looked at Optimus expectantly.
"Ratchet has discovered an energon signal." He answered. "He will groundbridge you both to the coordinates." Sky nodded curtly, though she was confused as to why he wanted her on this mission.
"K Optimus we'll 'ead down asap." Emeraldfire says going to wash of his servos. Sky nodded.
"Understood, Optimus." She led the way to the main room and through the groundbridge to a slightly barren desert scene.
Emeraldfire and Sky were on patrol near a small cliff.
"The energon signature is coming from that cave." Sky said, guesturing toward the cave on their right. Emeraldfire nodded, and followed Sky toward the sound of jet engines caught their attention. They turned to see 15 Vehicons and the Decepticons Dreadwing. Instantly, Sky transformed into her jet mode and flew up to battle the Vehicons, while Dreadwing transformed and landed to battle Emeraldfire. Energy crackling in his fists, Emeraldfire started to charge forward when Dreadwing crashed into him, knocking the black mech into the cave. Emeraldfire stood and started forward to the cave opening. The Decepticons started firing at the cave opening, causing several rocks to fall on top of Emeraldfire.
"Emeraldfire!" Sky cried. She flew down and transformed; crashing into Emeraldfire, knocking him away just as the cave opening collapsed.
Emeraldfire slowly stood, looking around the rocks blocking the exit.
"Sky?" He asked, looking for the sky blue femme. His optics dropped toward the cave floor where, much to his horror, Sky was laying on the floor; half buried in rocks. "Sky?!" Emeraldfire asked again, fear clenching his spark. He knelt down beside her; looking at her worriedly, and started to dig Sky out. When he had pulled her out of the debris, he tilted his helm and contacted Ratchet.
/Ratchet! We need a groundbridge to our coodinates! Sky is badly injured!/ Emeraldfire exclaimed over Comm-Link.
/All right. Hold on./ Ratchet answered. Then Emeraldfire heard cursing over Comm-Link.
/What's wrong?/ Emeraldfire asked.
/The groundbridge is not working! It will take about 30 clicks for us to reach your position./ Ratchet looked at Sky, who lay limp on the floor.
/Sky may be off-line by the time you arrive!/ He was a silence on Ratchet's side of the Comm-Link before he asked,
/Do you want to save her life?/Emeraldfire was shocked.
/Yes. Why? AH AIN'T NO MEDIC RATCHET HOW CAN AH DO ANYTHIN'!/ He roared.
/I understand that, Emeraldfire. But there is a way that you can keep her alive until I arrive./ Ratchet said.
/How?/ Emeraldfire asked, desperation in his voice.
/You have to sparkmerge with her./ Ratchet answered calmly.
/S... Sparkmerge? / Emeraldfire asked, shocked. A sparkmerge was sacred.
/Yes./ Emeraldfire could almost see Ratchet nodding when he answered. /To keep her on-line, you will have to sparkmerge with her every 5 clicks./
(At the Base)
Ratchet cursed when he realized the groundbridge would not open. What was wrong with it? He knelt down to look at the wires under the control panel. Why did it have to stop working now?
"Optimus, it would be best if you led a team to try and dig them out. Hopefully I will be able to get it functional again. Fraggin' Earth tech..."
(At the Cave)
"Come on Sky ya just have ta hang on a little bit longer okay. Optimus will be here soon with 'atchet and we'll get ya fixed right up." Emeraldfire says with energon tears leaking out of his optics before he has to sparkmerge again and again. Each time wispering to her that he is sorry.
(At the Base)
Optimus and the other Autobots raced toward Sky's and Emeraldfire's location as fast as they could. Optimus could only pray to Primus that they were not to late... As soon as they arrived, Optimus called, "Emraldfire? Are you and Sky alright?" Then he started moving rocks away from the entrence with the others help.
"We're over 'ere Optimus quick she needs 'atchet now." Emeraldfire screamed as loud as he could while he sparkmerges again. Ratchet was able to open the groundbridge just as Optimus and the others were able to clear a path to the two trapped 'Bots. Ratchet sprinted through the groundbridge as fast as he could.
"Be careful with 'er 'atchet she's 'urt bad. I just merged with 'er so she's good for a few clicks right?" Emeraldfire looks at Ratchet pleadingly.
Ratchet picked Sky up in his servos. "She should stay on-line until I am able to put her on life support." He said before entering the groundbridge.
Optimus put a servo on Emeraldfire's shoulder. "Do not blame yourself, Emeraldfire." He said.
(At the Base)
Emeraldfire wouldn't leave sky's side for the entire 3 weeks it took for her to fully regain conciousness where he learned all he could from Ratchet about first-aid so this wouldn't happen again. During the second week, much to both Ratchet's and Emeraldfire's surprise, Sky on-lined for just one moment. Long enough to whisper "Emeraldfire" before falling unconscious again.
At the end of the third week, Ratchet cleard his throat. "Emeraldfire? There is something I must tell you about.
" What is it 'at-Ratchet Is there something wrong with Sky?" Emeraldfire asks timidly.
"Well yes and no. Her condition is stable and doing much better in fact. She should be in her own berth by next week."
"Thats great but wait whats the bad news?"
"Thats what I came to tell you. Sky, she is carrying and you are the sire." Emerald fire just stands there with a stupified face plate until he can control himself again.
"Wait how can that be we never interfaced all I did was sparkmerege with her."Emeraldfire said in disbelief. Ratchet shifted slightly.
"There is a possibilty that a Cybertronian can be sparked without interfacing. It is a one in a million chance though, so it is rare. How many times did you sparkmerge with her?"
"Only ten, near the end 'er spark fluttered out more quickly so ah 'ad ta do it more often but even with that it must be nearly impossible for that ta of 'appened. Oh man when she wakes up she is goin' ta kill meh." Emeraldfire said in despair putting his helm in his servos. Ratchet tilted his helm to the side. "Ten? It would seem that towards the last few sparkmerges, Sky's spark would have recognized your own spark, and possibliy thought you were her mate. That is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with." He smiled when Emeraldfire said Sky was going to kill him. "I don't believe she will do that." After saying that, he left the Med-Bay to left Emeraldfire think.
What will ah do...what will ah do...what will ah do? Emeraldfire kept on thinking this and pacing around the medbay trying to think up what do. Sky groaned as her systems sluggishly on-lined. Somehow, she had ended up in the Med-Bay. She could hear someone pacing nearby. She turned her helm in their direction. "E... Emeraldfire?" She asked weakly.
"Sky! Ya're awake! Uh good good." Emeraldfire keeps pacing but goes even faster.
"Emeraldfire?" Sky tries to sit up, flinching in pain because her body was not fully healed. "Is... Is something wrong?"
Um... uh... well... ah don't know any other way ta put this so here it goes. When ya got crushed by those rocks the only way ta keep ya online was for meh ta sparkmerge with ya and...well... The sparkmerge alone created a sparklin'." Emeraldfire looks guiltily at the floor. "Ah understand if ya want to get rid of the sparklin'."Sky froze in her attempt to sit up.
"I... I'm sparked?" She thought for a moment. "Primus... It's been so long since I took care of a sparkling..." A small smile appeared on her faceplate. "Why would I want to get rid of the sparkling, Emeraldfire
"Wait but ya didn't have a choise in it like as if you were sparked by a rape. I thought you wouldn't want something like that Sky. But if ya want ta keep it I am really happy. It will be like ah never got attacked by pirates and Ah was able ta get home and help raise mah sparklin'." Emeraldfire says excitedly after the first sentence. Sky gently lay herself back down.
"Of course I'm keeping the sparkling. Emeraldfire, you're talking to a seeker. Seekers were the most entrusted to watch over sparklings. Plus the fact that I ran a youngling center and..." Her voice grew quiet. "This is another chance for me as well Emeraldfire."
"Yes ya're right Sky I'm glad that you are keeping it. Ah hope that it is a seeker just like ya Sky. The world needs more seekers to look aftter sparklings when this war is over. I can't wait to see if it is a Mech or Femme." Sky smiled at Emeraldfire's enthusiasm.
"Emeraldfire? Could... Could you help me to my quarters? I have some things to show you..."
"Of course Sky." Emeraldfire picks Sky up and carrys her to her berth and lays her down gently. "Now what did you want to show me Sky?" With Emeraldfire's help, she sits up.
"Over there." She points toward her closet. "You will find a small container. Could... Could you bring it over here?" She then grumbles more to herself. "I hate being handicapped."
"K" Emeraldfire walks over and gives the box to her. Sky opens the container, takes out a toy Cybercat, and tosses it to Emeraldfire with a smile on her faceplate.
"Sparkling stuff."She said. "It's what I carried in my subspace back on Cybertron while I ran the youngling center."
"That is so nice of you. We wouldn't want the sparkling bored now do we?" Sky laughed.
"No, not really. But, it is kind of hard for a sparkling to be bored. I know from experience."
Ratchet cursed when he entered the Med-Bay to see Sky was not there. He quickly contacted Emeraldfire over Comm-Link. /Emeraldfire, where is Sky and why is she out of the Med-Bay?/
/Oh uh she woke up and I told her about the sparkling. She wants to keep it and I brought her to her quarters because she wanted to show me something. It was some sparkling toys and games that she kept from before she was an smiled at what Emeraldfire told him.
/Well, could you bring her back to Med-Bay? She isn't supposed to be out, but I understand why she would want to show you those things. I need to see if she is healing properly./
/roger that 'atchet./ "ah'm sorry sky but ya got ta go back ta tha medbay now. Ah'll take you."
Sky nodded, putting the stuff back into the container before allowing Emeraldfire to pick her up again. "I can't wait to hold our sparkling, Emerald'." She murmured.
"Ah know exactly what ya mean Sky."
1 week after that
"So 'atchet finnaly let ya out of the medbay. OW. Watch it 'atchet you might of hit Sky." Emeraldfire said rubbing his helm. Sky laughed.
"Alright Sky, I want to check the spark before you go." Sky nodded before sitting back down on the medical berth. Ratchet quickly examined her spark chamber and froze. "Sky... The spark split..." He said.
"Wait the spark split? Does that mean the sparkling died in the spark chamber!?"
Ratchet looked up at Emeraldfire. "No. Sky is having twins."
"By the AllSpark..." Sky murmured.
"Ah second that. Will this make it any harder on Sky carrying?"
Sky answered. "No. There will be no problems throughout the carrying period. I have carried a split spark before."
Ratchet nodded. "You have nothing to fear, Emeraldfire. The only difference is that Sky's labor may be longer."
~A few months later~
Sky on-lined on her berth beside Emeraldfire. For a moment, she was not certain of what woke her before a sharp pain hit.
She shook the Mech gently. "E... Emeraldfire! I... I've gone into labor!"
