Techna's optics widened in fear at Firestrike's words. The only way for the war to end was for her to die? Tears were welling up in the optics of both femmes. Firestrike understood perfectly why she was so frightened. She hugged her daughter as Techna began to cry. Firestrike hummed to her to calm her down. She didn't want to let go, but they knew that someone would come looking for them.

"P-Please don't tell Starscream. I don't want him to know." Techna whimpered. Firestrike smiled at her and nodded.

"Of course sweetspark, but are you going to go through with it? If you choose to do it Prima will teach you what to do before returning to our dimension. There will be no turning back once you've made your decision." Firestrike asked. Techna lowered her gaze and stared at her pedes.

"If it's the only way to end the war without any more deaths then I will do it." Techna whispered. "I don't want anyone else to be hurt, even Creator. This war is stupid and it should've never stared." Firestrike gave a sad smile and helped Techna clean her faceplate of any tears left. They walked into the base to find Starscream talking with the humans. Techna smiled sadly, wondering how he'll take it. She noticed StarRacer staring at her with worry in those bright optics. Techna smiled reassuringly at her. Starscream looked over at the femme and grew worried, he knew something was bugging her.

"Techna, is something wrong?" Starscream asked as she walked up to him. Techna halted and her optics widened before she gave him a smile.

"Of course not! Why do you ask?" Techna lied. Starscream frowned, obviously not believing her words. He glared slightly at Firestrike before dragging Techna down the hall alone. "Starscream, what's gotten into you?"

"You've never been a good liar, Techna." Starscream accused. Techna froze at the slight harshness in his voice. He looked at her sternly. "Ever since you found Firestrike you've been on edge. What's going on?" Techna's optics widened and tears filled them. Starscream saw this and immediately lightened up.

"Starscream, you don't understand. I've gotten myself into deep scrap and I have to go through this alone." Techna stammered. She laid her helm on his chassis and began crying. Starscream hugged her and kissed her helm. "Please don't hate me." Starscream squeezed her closer.

"I swear on Primus that I will never hate you." Starscream whispered. Techna's body was shaking slightly as she cried. She didn't want to leave him. She was scared of what he'd do after she died. Would he forget about her? Would he move on knowing she'd want him to be happy with another femme? Would he become depressed? She didn't want him to mourn but she didn't want him to forget about her either.

"Starscream…if I died in this war, would you forget about me?" Techna whimpered. Starscream looked down at her in confusion. What was she talking about? But the poor distressed femme had a look of pain and sincerity and he realized that it was a valid fear.

"I would never forget you, you're my femme, Techna." Starscream whispered. He silently pulled her into their temporary room and held her servos tightly. "I know we're in the middle of a war but I need to get this off my chassis. I'm in love with you Techna and please, will you be my sparkmate?" Techna stared up at him in shock. He had just proposed to her! She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him happily. Starscream pulled back with a gleam in his optic that Techna hadn't seen ever since the war began.

"Of course, Starscream!" Techna exclaimed. She paused momentarily then looked down. "Can we…can we wait until after the war? Or until it's at least calmed down. It'd make things more difficult." Starscream nodded in understanding.

"I'd wait an eternity for you." He whispered. Techna smiled warmly, but there was sadness behind it. She knew she would never get the chance to bond with him. The very thought of it made her spark sink, but she hid it well from her fiancée. An alarm went off causing the seekers to jump in surprise. They ran into the main hanger to see the others huddled around the monitor. "What's going on?"

"Another Autobot is preparing to land." Ratchet informed without turning away. Techna smiled slightly. At least they were gonna have more fighters. There was a ping and a message popped up. When they opened it Ratchet let out a low growl. On the screen were the twins Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Techna smirked as the bots started talking to the new arrivals. Finally the twins noticed Techna and Starscream and yelled for them to look out.

"Relax we're from a different dimension. Starscream's actually an Autobot there." Techna sighed. They all then dove into the explanation of how Starscream and Techna got there and why. The twins seemed fascinated, surprising Techna. The couple answered their question simply.

"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, what's your ETA?" Optimus asked after a while. Techna looked down to see StarRacer standing next to her Carrier waiting for Elita to pick her up. Techna tapped Elita on the shoulder and the femme smiled down at her daughter before holding her. Sunstreaker stopped in the middle of his sentence suddenly.

"AW is that a youngling?!" Sideswipe interrupted his twin. Sunstreaker saw the youngling and his optics widened. "Alright, fess up, whose is it?"

"Sideswipe, if I'm the one holding her wouldn't you assume that she's Optimus and I's?" Elita asked. Both of the twins' optics dashed between the Prime and his sparkmate and the femmeling.

"What?!" both gasped. Techna smirked as StarRacer giggled at the shock. Sideswipe even fell over and glitched, causing the majority of the Autobots and humans to laugh. Even Optimus gave a small smirk. Sunstreaker facepalmed and turned to see if his brother was okay.

"Sunstreaker, you and Sideswipe will be able to hear StarRacer's story when you arrive. But for now, I believe you should revive Sideswipe." Optimus said in amusement. Sunstreaker sent his leader a glare before ending the transmission. Ratchet growled under his breath.

"It just had to be the twins." he grumbled. Techna snickered and shook her helm.

"Y'know, you had the same reaction when you rushed them to the med bay when they first landed." Techna commented. Everyone gave her a worried expression. "When we found the twins Shockwave had gotten to them first. Ironhide, Elita, Chromia, Jazz, Prowl, and Mirage all landed with them. Prowl was in the worst shape. Speaking of which how is Prowler?" Techna turned to Starscream who chuckled.

"He's back to normal." Starscream answered. Techna smiled and watched as StarRacer begged Optimus to let her go with them. He finally agreed and Starscream offered to stay behind so the humans could go with. Ratchet opened the ground bridge once the twins had landed. The Autobots walked through and saw Sideswipe and Sunstreaker stumble out.

"Woah, rough landing," Sideswipe grumbled. Techna smirked as they walked up to the group. When the twins saw StarRacer they immediately ran up to her. Techna snickered and looked at Elita.

"They're such sparklings." Techna observed. Elita giggled and agreed. Sunstreaker looked up at his leader and scowled.

"So what's the femmeling's story?" Sunstreaker asked. Optimus, Elita, Jack, and June explained what happened to StarRacer as she played with Sideswipe. The red mech tickled StarRacer and she squealed a little as she giggled.

"Oh how sweet." A voice snarled. Everyone snapped to Megatron who was approaching with Starscream and a bunch of vehicons. The Autobots encircled StarRacer protectively.

"Let's kick some con aft!" Sunstreaker snarled. Elita hit him in the head and glared at him.

"Watch your language around my daughter!" Elita hissed. Sunstreaker scowled but glared at the cons.

"Decepticons attack!" Megatron roared.

Sorry for not updating sooner. It would've been done yesterday but it was my birthday and I didn't have time to talk to Autobot StarRacer.

I hope you liked it and reviews are always welcomed! :)
