lilica: Thanks for the review. Once again this is the only way I can reply to you lol but hope you get it. I might not because I can't really find the time to draw plus I'm no good at it really but I might later on.
Well this is the last chapter for the story and thank you all so much for the reviews, for reading and for hanging around. I really much enjoyed this story and don't worry there is going to be a second one that I've already got planed. But I also might take a break and I might write another story as well.
Once again please read and review and like I said this chapter is very long. Hope you all enjoy.
Was it minutes? Hours? Days?
No one really knew they just sat there and kept quiet. The base was like a ghost town though it was crowded with autobot's and decepticons but it was silent as ever. Optimus stood outside the base just looking out into the hills and sky. He admired the beautiful of this planet but right now he was thinking about Pebbles.
Once she was better she would be going. Everyone and he himself were going to miss the little femme for sure but most of everyone understood she had to be with her father. Look at what he did he was fighting for her safety and that's what every father should be like. Optimus sighed as he thought about the femme.
He thought about what she was going to be like when she was older. Was she going to be just like a decepticon or the way she is now? He hoped she wouldn't change she was an angel but knew Skywarp was going to raise her well.
He then thought about Landmine. If it wasn't for him Pebbles could have been dead, he saved her. He looked nerves or uncomfortable when he came her and kept a distance from everyone. He knew he's been through a lot and above that autobot's killed his family and the decepticon's promise to protect his family. Who could blame him he was just mad at everyone. But as he started to talk to Megatron a bit he looked a bit calmer and Megatron even offered for him to join back to the decepticons. Though he didn't give an answer and said he would think about he had a feeling he would join again. It would have been nice for him with the autobot's but that ship has sailed as the humans would say.
But no matter what happens everything was going to work out and be alright.
"Optimus" He turned around and saw Megatron walking up to him with his arms crossed.
"Megatron" He greeted back as they two stood next to each other and looked out.
"Hear anything yet?" Optimus asked.
"Not yet" He replied.
It was an awkward silence for a moment before Megatron spoke again.
"Once all this is over and Pebbles comes back with us, you know everything will go back to the way they were" He said.
Optimus turned to him and nodded his head, understanding what he meant.
"I know they will Megatron. Do me one favour though" He asked.
"What might that be?" Megatron asked.
"Raise Pebbles well. She is too sweet to be fighting in battle and if she does it will only destroy her. You know what I mean?" He said.
"I know what you mean and don't worry I'm not going to force her to do anything. Plus Skywarp is her farther not me and it will be all up to him what he wants his daughter to do. But trust me Skywarp loves her too much and would never put her in danger. So you have nothing to worry about Optimus" He said.
"Thank you Megatron. I needed to hear that" He said before looking out again with Megatron. It was about midday and thought how Hook and Ratchet were doing.
Skywarp
Skywarp sat in the same spot and his head hung low and knees to his chest. He was scared and worried about his daughter. It was really quiet and said he didn't want to talk to anyone. He just wanted to be alone and so Thundercracker said he will go by if he needed him he would come.
He was told that a bot named Landmine helped and mostly saved her. He would thank him later but right now he was thinking of his daughter, he wanted her to live.
At that moment Hook came out of the room and Skywarp bolted up to hear what he had to say.
"She's going to live" He said.
Skywarp sighed and smiled at him.
"Thank you Hook"
"She's in recharge right now but you're more than welcome to stay with her" He said standing aside so Skywarp could enter the room.
As he entered he looked over at the medic berth and saw his daughter lying on a soft pillow and wrapped up in a thick blanket for her. He looked up at Ratchet as he was finishing a few things off before smiling and walking past him.
"Thank you Ratchet" He said.
"No worries. She's lucky to have a father like you" He said before leaving.
Skywarp walked over to the berth and sat down on a chair next to Pebbles and smiled down at her. She looked so peaceful and was resting with no pain or hurt. She's had a big night and needed all the rest she could get.
Blizzard then came in and jumped up onto the berth wagging his tail and whimpered softly.
"It's alright boy she's just sleeping, you can lie down next to her. I'm sure she will like it" Skywarp told him.
Blizzard did so and rested his head on Pebbles stomach and nuzzled into her warmth. Skywarp came a little closer, petting his daughter's head gently and just watching her sleep. He couldn't wait until she will wake up.
Rec room
Hook and Racthet walked together to the rec room to tell the news of Pebbles, everyone was going to be very happy.
As they entered everyone looked at them and became silent, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"How is she?" TC asked.
"She's going to be fine" Ratchet smiled making everyone cheer and clap their hands, thanking the two medics.
"Good work" Ratchet said offering his hand at Hook to shake. Hook just looked for a short moment before smirking and shook his hand.
"You too" He said before walking back to his team.
"Where's Skywarp?" TC asked.
"He's in with Pebbles at the moment. She's resting but I told him he could stay with her until she wakes up" Hook said.
"So you got all the dark energon out of her?" Chromia asked.
"We managed to get it all. I don't think we missed any and we just filled her energon back up with Skywarp's who offered. We will check her over when she wakes up to make sure everything is alright" Ratchet said.
"Thank you Ratchet, and Hook. You both did well" Optimus said.
As everyone was so happy to hear the news and filled with joy, there was one mech that was hiding in the corner of the room on his own.
Landmine didn't know what to think. He helped them out and now the sparkling was going to be alright and she was back with her father. That was great news right?
He didn't know. He felt like he got nothing back at all. But it was a good thing he did and everyone was happy. So wasn't he? He knew what it was and he didn't want to think about it.
It was his family. He thought back hard at when his family first arrived at the decepticon's.
Flashback
"Are you sure this is safe?" A femme asked Landmine.
"Don't worry. This is perfect, I was talking to Megatron before and he said we will all be safe here. He said he will keep us safe if I join and become a decepticon. I'm really useful I fix what others can't and build inventions" Landmine smiled at his bond mate.
"O-ok. I trust you" She smiled at him as the two entered the city Kaon with their three sparklings. The youngest one was a femme, she was being carried by her mother and nuzzled into her shoulder feeling scared from this different place.
The second youngest was a mech who was walking behind his father's leg peeping around at his new home but also feeling frighten. He trusted his parents and knew what was best for him.
The oldest was another mech and he was walking way in front of his family feeling excited about all this and to meet other decepticons. He wasn't scared and filled with joy getting settled in.
"Come on. We're meeting Megatron in the main building and he will tell us what will be happening and tell us where our new home is" Landmine said.
"Ok" The femme said holding his hand.
They saw guards and bigger decepticon's all around them and they stared as they walked through the city. But did nothing knowing it was the newest comers and continued on their way.
"See no one is bothering us and know who we are. Plus there are other sparklings here and our kids will make friends quickly. There are other mothers here with their bond mates too. It's just like being a neutral just a different city"
"I guess your right" She smiled holding her daughter closer as she whimpered a little.
"It's alright sweet spark, there is nothing to be afraid of. Later on this week when I earn more credit's I will buy you all the toys you want" Landmine said making his daughter smile and looked very happy now.
As the family entered the building and walked through they were told by the guards to wait a moment while they inform him of their arrival. When they came back they escorted them to the main room where the leader of the decepticons was waiting.
When they entered Landmine looked up at Megatron who stood up from his throne and walked over to the family.
"Welcome Landmine. I'm glad you accepted my offer and I promise to keep my side" Megatron said looking at the family.
"Thank you lord Megatron. I sure will work hard for you and for my family" He said.
"Very well. I want you all to come by tomorrow morning so you may get your upgrades for joining the decepticons" Megatron said.
"W-will it hurt our sparklings?" The femme asked worried.
"No not at all. I wouldn't do it to the sparklings if it would hurt but trust me it will only take a minute and you will feel nothing. You may just feel different but that's normal" Megatron explained making the femme nod her head. Megatron looked at Landmine again.
"Welcome to the decepticons"
End of flashback
Landmine just stared and thought hard of that memory. He did promise to protect his family but he didn't.
Wait. Maybe Megatron was right. Was it really his fault? He knew the attack had nothing to do with these autobot's. The autobot's that attacked were autobot's that didn't care but also wanted to protect.
All this time he had blamed Megatron and the autobot's , but was it really there fault? Was it his fault? He wasn't there for his family and he didn't protect them himself.
He sighed.
"You alright?" He heard a voice and looked up seeing it was Megatron.
"U-umm…y-yeah. Just thinking" He said.
"About your family?"
How did he know?
He didn't answer and only nodded his head.
"You know they will always be with you no matter what Landmine. You know what I think?" Megatron said.
"What?"
"I think they would want you to re-join the decepticons. They were so happy for you for all your hard work and what you did for them. They were proud of you and they loved their new home. That's what I think Landmine"
"M-megatron?"
"Yes?"
Landmine looked up at him and nodded his head trying to put on a soft smile.
"Alright…I-I'll come back" He said.
"That's what I wanted to hear" Megatron said with a smile and petted his shoulder in a friendly way.
"Welcome back"
Medic room
Skywarp held his daughter's hand and waited for her to wake up but it has been a while he was starting to worry a little but knew she would soon if he just waited a bit longer.
Thundercracker and Starscream then came into the room and smiled as they saw the two close again after such a horrible night.
"Hey" TC said to his buddy.
He turned around and smiled at the two before looking back at his daughter.
"She looks so peaceful. So relaxed" TC said.
"Has she woken at all yet?" Starscream asked.
"No not yet. I'm hoping it's not much longer" Skywarp said.
"She's a strong femme. I'm sure she will wake up when she is fully rested" TC said.
It was silence as the three watched the sparkling sleep, her chest moving up and down slowly and Blizzard sleeping next to her, missing her very much and was happy to have her safe again.
"What happened with Storm?" Starscream asked.
"He's gone. He blew up the building along with him and his army. I escaped just in time"
TC then looked at Skywarp's cuts and dried energon.
"Has Hook looked at you yet with those cuts?"
"No. He tried to but I told him to take care of Pebbles first" Skywarp said.
"Well make sure he checks when he comes back alright. You might get an infection" TC said.
"I know. I will let him later" He said.
As they chatted just a little Skywarp felt a small squeeze on his hand before hearing a soft voice.
"Daddy?..."
The three looked down and smiled with relive as they saw Pebbles online her tired optics and soft smile.
"Hey Princess" TC said sitting down next to Skywarp.
"How are you feeling baby?" Skywarp asked.
"A-alright…W-what happened?" She asked a little confused where she was.
"It's all over. You don't need to worry about anything anymore. There gone and you're safe" Skywarp smiled.
Pebbles weakly sat up and reached her arms out for her father to hug her. Once he did she didn't want to let go and whimpered a little into his shoulder, feeling safe again and happy he was here with her.
"It's alright sweet spark. How do you feel?" Skywarp asked.
"A-a little dizzy…and s-sore but ok" She said
"You will feel better later on, your just feeling weak that's all" TC said.
"I'll go and get you some energon" Starscream said.
"Thanks Starscream" Skywarp said holding his daughter close before the three looked at Blizzard were snored and rolled onto his back. They laughed at this before Skywarp reached down and picked up her doll.
"I found this" He said handing it to his daughter.
He saw the joy in her optics as she hugged the doll and hugged him back.
"Thank you daddy"
Rec room
Starscream entered the room and saw everyone look at him at once. He knew what they were waiting for.
"She's awake" He said making everyone sigh in relief and smiled.
"How is she feeling?" Chromia asked.
"Just a little dizzy and tired so I'm just getting her some energon" He said.
"I'll just do a quick check on her now so it's over and done with" Ratchet said leaving the room.
Chromia sat at the table feeling so happy that Pebbles was alright but at once she wanted to run to her and pick her up, holding her like there was no tomorrow.
But she told herself that it was not her daughter and had to stay out of the way which only made her sink in the chair and feel cold and alone.
She wondered what she was doing now.
Back in the medic room Ratchet had entered to room with a friendly greeting and said he would need to examine Pebbles to make sure she was alright. Pebbles sat on the edge of the berth with her legs hanging over and let Ratchet do his job.
"Alright now say Ahhh" He said.
"Ahhhh" Pebbles did with her mouth open. Ratchet had a look in her mouth to check if there were any infections but he couldn't see any which was good. He checked her spark and told her to breathe in and out so he could hear it. It was beating normal and he was very surprised.
"Well I can't see anything wrong and your systems are functioning well so I guess that's it" He said putting his stuff away.
"Thanks for saving her Ratchet" Skywarp said.
"There's someone else you should be thanking as well" TC said.
"Hook?"
"Well him but also there's someone else. Come with me" He said leaving the room.
"I'll be right back baby. You have Blizzard and your doll with you so you're safe" He said kissing her helm gently.
"I love you daddy" She smiled.
"I love you too" He smiled before walking out the room with TC and Starscream.
"Alright you need anything hun?" Ratchet asked.
"No thank you. I'm feeling tired though" She said.
"You should sleep. You need all the rest you can get" He said tucking her in and making his way out the room.
"Ratchet?"
"Yes?"
"When can I go home?" She asked.
Racthet was silent. She wanted to go home already? He couldn't blame her she just missed her home and that's where she wanted to be.
"You should be able to go home this afternoon, alright?"
"Yeah.." Pebbles said before lying down and shutting her optics.
Skywarp followed TC and Starscream to where ever they were going but soon they entered the rec room where there was nobody around.
"There's no one here" He said.
"Over there" TC said as he pointed to the corner of the room where he saw a mech sitting alone at a table with a full cube of energon. Who was this?
As they walked over the bot looked up at the three surprised to see them.
"Skywarp this is Landmine. He helped us save Pebbles" TC said.
Skywarp stared at the one known as Landmine before smiling at him.
"Thank you for helping save my daughter" He said.
"N-no worries…" Landmine said.
"Also we will be seeing more of Landmine. He's join the decepticons again" TC said.
"That's great to hear. I'm sure my daughter would love to thank you as well once she is fully recharged" Skywarp said.
"Thanks…I should get going Megatron wants to talk to me about the decepticons" He said staning up.
"No worries. See you around" Skywarp said before leaving again with his friend and Starscream.
"You should stay with Pebbles. I'm sure you want that as well" Starscream said.
"I do. Thanks guys you know where to find me if you need me" Skywarp said.
"We sure do. We will see how she is feeling this afternoon before we head back to our base" TC said.
"Alright. See ya later"
Medic bay
Pebbles couldn't rest she was feeling scared and felt like someone was going to attack her if she would go into recharge. She felt a bit better with Blizzard right next to her but she wanted her father as well. As soon as she thought about her father Skywarp entered the room and over to Pebbles sitting down again and smiling at her.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"I'm alright. Better than before" She smiled hugging her doll close.
"That's good sweet spark" he smiled.
"Daddy?"
"Yes?"
"Can I tell you something…I-it's going to sound crazy but I need to tell you" Pebbles said.
"Alright baby, what is it?"
She was silent for a moment trying to think of how to say it but thought she would just let it out and see what happens.
"I saw Mummy" She told him.
Skywarp gasped softly at what he hears his daughter say. She saw her mother? That must have meant she was offline for a moment. He would have to ask Hook or Ratchet about that later.
"R-really?...What did she say?" He asked.
"I was so happy to see her again" Pebbles smiled "I ran to her and we hugged each other"
Skywarp smiled at this. She must have been happy to see her mother.
"She said I was special and I needed to go back to you. I didn't want to leave her but before I could say anything she placed her hand on my chest and there was a bright light. I couldn't see anything and the next thing I knew I woke up with Ratchet and Hook over me…it's like she gave me a second chance but I don't know"
Skywarp listen as she went on and spoke. He was shocked at what he just heard. A second chance? His bond mate, Pebbles mother gave her a second chance. He smiled as he placed a his hand under her chin.
"You have so much to live for and she wanted you to be here. She wanted you to live and be with the ones that care about you so much. Your mother will always be in our sparks and will follow us anywhere" He said before leaning over and kissing her helm gently.
"Thanks daddy" She smiled before speaking again.
"When are we going home?" She asked.
"Soon love. Maybe in an hour or so because we want to make sure you're alright and nothing else is wrong"
"Alright…I'm going to miss everyone here" She said.
"Really?" Skywarp asked a little shocked.
"Yeah, like I will miss Chromia and Ironhide a lot. They care about me so much and it was really nice to be close to another femme again" She admitted.
"Really?" Skywarp repeated.
"Yeah…Plus Jazz, Blaster and Skyfire are really nice as well. I love Jazz's and Blaster's music and Skyfire likes to play games with me as well. There all just so nice" She said.
Skywarp stared at his daughter for a good long moment, thinking. He sighed. He couldn't believe what he was about to ask.
"D-did…you want to stay with the…autobot's?"
Pebbles looked up at her father, not understand why he was asking that.
"W-what?" She asked in case she miss heard.
"Did you want to stay here with the other femmes where you will get a lot of femme attenchion? I'm only asking because you're a femme and…y-you could enjoy it more…but I want to ask because I don't want to take you back home if you're not going to like it there" Skywarp said.
Pebbles felt a small tear prick in her optic and rubbed it away before it could roll down her cheek.
"Do you want me to stay?" She asked.
"I will love you no matter what you decide. I just want you to be happy" He said.
"I like it here and love everyone…but I don't want to…l-leave you" Pebbles started to whimper and reached her arms up to her father to be picked up.
"Shh shh I'm here baby" He said trying to calm her down.
"Please don't leave me"
"I'm not going anywhere beautiful"
"I want to be with you…I want to go home" She sobbed softly.
"Alright sweetie, I will talk with the others soon and find out when we will leave. I'm sorry I asked I just had to make sure"
"I understand daddy. I will miss everyone here but I want to be with the decepticons because that is my home" She said whipping her tears away and smiling at him.
"I love you Pebbles" He said kissing her helm.
Pebbles smiled before giggled madly as Skywarp started to give her raspberries and tickle her face with his kisses.
They soon settled before Skywarp picked up his daughter and woke up Blizzard who was still sleeping. The three walked down the hall and too the rec room where Skywarp thought mostly everyone would be waiting maybe.
As they came around the corner they bumped into the Insections.
"Look who's looking better. Better" Shrapnel said.
"How are you feeling Pebbles?" Bomshell asked.
"Better thanks guys" She smiled.
"It's alright" Kickback smiled.
"TC told me you helped rescue her…" Skywarp said.
"Yeah we did. When we saw all of the autobot's and decepticon's together we followed to see what was going on. On. When we saw Pebbles in trouble we weren't just going to stand around and do nothing so we rushed in. In" Shrapnel said
"Thanks for helping out it means a lot" Skywarp said.
"So…were cool? You don't hate us anymore?" Kickback asked.
"Yeah…were cool" He said "I have to head to the rec room. Thanks again for helping" He said before walking past them and to the rec room.
When they entered the room, there was only a hand full of bots but saw Optimus and Megatron talking…which was new. He walked over with Pebbles in his arms to talk to the leaders.
"There she is. Feeling better?" Megatron asked.
"I am thanks sir" She said.
"What brings you both here Skywarp?" Optimus asked.
"She wants to go home" He said.
Optimus nodded before speaking.
"You may all leave when you're ready. I'm sure she wants to get back home and get some proper rest" Optimus said.
"Thanks Optimus…for everything" Skywarp said turning around and walking out the room the get sorted before leaving.
"I'll gather up my men and we will leave soon" Megatron said.
"Very well. Next time we meet it will mostly be in battle…trying to kill each other" Optimus said making Megatron chuckle softly.
"Oh yes it will be like old times" He smirked before leaving with Optimus behind, shaking his head and smirked as well. Everything was going to be like they were.
A few hours later
Skywarp gathered some of Pebbles things that were left here when he first brought her here and carried her in his arms walking out of the base and at the front where everyone was waiting. Pebbles looked at all the autobot's as she passed them and waved at all, she was going to miss them.
Then she saw Chromia and Ironhide who looked very sad but smiled at her as she psassed them.
"Daddy, can I just do something?" She asked.
"Sure" He said placing her on the ground and watching as she ran to Chromia.
Chromia knelt down and was surprised as she felt Pebbles jump on her and wrap her arms around her neck tightly, saying goodbye.
She hugged back, feeling scared that this was maybe the last time she was going to see and feel her.
"Thank you" Pebbles whispered, with the doll in her hands.
"I'll miss you" Chromia said before letting her go and watching as she went back to her father and he picked her up again.
All the autobot's could do was watch as the decepticon's took off into the sky and over the hills along with Pebbles in her father's arms. They were all going to miss her deeply. But hoped they would see her again and maybe hear from her. But no one knew and as they disappeared over the hills they all went back to their work, like before.
6 weeks later
Weeks had passed since Pebbles came back and oh everyone was so happy to have her back. When she got back Ravage jumped her and didn't let go. She had missed her so much. Everything was like they were and there was no drama's and Pebbles was a happy sparkling.
After the six weeks Skywarp bought Pebbles to where her mother was just to visit and so Pebbles could talk to her. Skywarp sat on a log behind Pebbles as he watched her sit in front of her mother and talk, holding the doll close to her and showing it to her mother. He smiled as she giggled mostly to herself.
"Hey"
Skywarp spun around to see Ironhide standing before him with Chromia next to him.
"Hey you two, what you doing here?"
"We were just taking a walk and thought maybe ya two would be here so we came" Ironhide said.
"She looks very happy" Chromia smiled.
"She's feeling a lot better and she has been recharging very well" Skywarp said.
"That's good to hear" Chromia said before looking at Ironhide "Maybe we should tell him"
Skywarp was a little confused as he looked at them.
"Tell me what?" He asked.
"Chromia and I are expecting a sparkling" He smiled.
"You're pregnant?" Skywarp asked surprised.
"Yeah, six weeks pregnant and expecting a femme in nine months" Chromia said.
"Well…I guess congrats. Your two will be great parents" Skywarp said.
"Thanks Skywarp"
"Have you thought of any names?" He asked.
"We have thought of a few…" Ironhide said.
"What was your bond mate's name?" Chromia asked.
"I-it was Starlight, why?"
"I like that name" Chromia said looking at Ironhide who smiled back.
"Then it's settled, we will call her Starlight"
Skywarp smiled, feeling not alone and that someone cared.
Pebbles turned around to see Ironhide and Chromia before squealing and running towards them calling out there names. Chromia laughed softly before kneeling and gathered her into her arms, hugging her tightly before placing her on the ground again.
"How are you feeling?" Chromia asked.
"Much better thanks" She giggled before leaning forward and placing her head on Chromia's stomach.
"You have a sparkling?" She asked making everyone shocked.
"H-how did you know?" Chromia asked.
"I can feel it" She smiled and giggled as she listens to her stomach making everyone smile.
"It should have this?" Pebbles said showing her the doll they had given her.
"Sweetie that's yours we gave it to you, we couldn't-"
"I want it to have it, please" Pebbles smiled.
Chromia smiled before taking the doll and holding it close, smiling at Pebbles.
"Thank you"
"We should be heading off before it gets dark" Ironhide said.
"That's true" Skywarp said picking up his daughter.
"We might see each other around sometimes" Chromia said.
"Yeah we might" Skywarp said before leaving with Pebbles waving to them.
Later that night
Pebbles giggled and laughed as she jumped up and down on her bed and was all hyper from the sweet energon Soundwave had given her. But it was time for bed and Skywarp just watched as he waiting for her to get tired.
"Tired yet?" He asked.
"Nope" Pebbles giggled again before Skywarp came over and tackled her to the berth pretending he was a big monster and eating her face and stomach. Pebbles laughed hard and tried to get away but it just wasn't working. It wasn't long before he stopped and Pebbles was now sleepy.
"It's time for bed. You can run around tomorrow alright?" Skywarp said.
"Ah hu" She smiled getting comfortable and her toys around her.
Blizzard and Ravage came in and onto the berth. Lying down next to her. They were getting along so well and started to hang out more. Pebbles wanted that and was happy.
"Goodnight beautiful" Skywarp said kissing her helm.
"Goodnight daddy" Pebbles said "Thank you for everything. I'm happy to be home again" She said.
"I'm happy to have you back. You mean everything to me and I never want to lose you again"
"You won't" Pebbles smiled.
"I'll see you in the morning" He said before standing and walking out the room. Shutting to door a bit and turning her night light on before the main light. Pebbles was already in recharge with Blizzard and Ravage the same. Skywarp smiled at them before shutting the door all the way.
She meant the world to him and he world fly around the world, he would fly across the universe and he would go to a different dimension to get his daughter back. She was the most sweeties, luckiest and amazing sparkling you will ever meet or see.
She was a Different Pebble.
