Prime Blood: *Skycraker Chapter 2* Partners become lovers (Sticky alert)
{Prime Blood interfacing: see Prime Blood Contents- Chapter Procreation 101 for explaination.)
Thundercracker pulls some of the larger panels off his own body giving Skywarp access to the minor ones. Swiftly they remove the rest of the encumbering panels. They are left in their proto form Seeker bodies with the strong and powerful attributes exposed. Slick under-armor and very male and female features ready for the touching and caressing. But their wings remain making each other look like angels.
Skywarp says it first, "Oh All Spark, Thunder you are a sight."
He is just as turned on. Clearly ready to mate by the glowing blue head peeking from the slit in his chest, "You had all that hidden under the Terajet paneling? It's a scrapping good thing you kept that hidden."
She reaches for him, "Why?" She knows why, but wants to hear it. She had hidden as a male for far too long. And she has hidden her feeling for him for what seems like longer. Her voice cries out, "Tell me why?"
His hands cup and mold around her curves and clearly female pieces, "Because I would have had you in my bunk much, much sooner."
She tries to sound cocky, but it is so fake against her panting desire, "Oh you think I would have berthed with you sooner?"
He touches her in areas that make her loose all validity to her argument. "I think I would have had a fighting chance," he makes her undulate and croon.
Her teeth clamp down on his wing making him cry back. She yanks her head back as he makes the plunge, "AH! I hate you when you are right, Thundercracker."
He begins his slow pulsing, and whispers in her ear, "I have just began." Her female voice comes out and cries his name. She is powerless in his hands. She feels like pure molten Cybertainium against his body.
He takes his time and then lays her back in the soft pile of palm fronds. Clearly she is exhausted. Her head is weak in his palm as he lays it down. But she has the biggest smile on her face he has ever seen. And this was only the first time they have made love. Now that they have exposed their secret to each other, he will enjoy their time even more. But for now, she needs to rest. He shouldn't have pushed her so hard after welding her back together. He rolls to her side and tenderly touches the weld. Not too bad. Even Autobot Ratchet would be pleased.
By the even breaths of Sky, he can see she as gone into recharge. Carefully, he puts her male armor back on. Perish the thought he doesn't come back before Soundwave finds her, her secret must be kept safe. Starscream would not be happy at all. It was bad enough that his twin was a female, Thundercracker laughs to himself. Slipstream has bested Starscream several times in sparring.
The final task is to tuck Skywarp's strings of beads back up into her helmet and latch it on. How she kept those beauties hidden all the time, he will never know. But now he can't wait to get his hands back into them. Finally, Thundercracker, lays more fronds over Skywarp. He doesn't want the humans to find her either.
Later the next day, they must return to the base. Their flight back had been like their old times, but with a twist. In the past they flew in unison and precision maneuvers because they were partners and Seekers. Highly skilled Elite Air Command. But not this time. No, this time they were lovers. They didn't anticipate the other's moves. He felt them, she sensed them. They flew so close together that you would think they were physically bound together. He banked, and she stayed directly above him. She pitched straight up preparing for the dive to the underwater entrance, he matched her. When she made the pitch to dive, he began a twist. She found it so sexy, so much like their limbs twisted together last night. On their private channel she taunts him, "Thunder, you are so twisted." He just laughs his reply and breaks off into their normal entrance procedures.
But once inside and striding towards their commander, trailing Skywarp, Thunder has a hard time getting his head back into command mode. Was it a blessing or a curse to be standing so close Skywarp again? He wanted so badly to take her back into his arms, but she had her back ramrod straight and in that male Seeker walk. She was all Skywarp, not a drop of the Sky he made love to on the island. Never once during their report did she give him the soft optics he had seen recently. If any one, he was the mess, not her. She was clearly in control of herself. "By Primus," he swears. It just makes her that much sexier.
Two days later, he only gets a set of coordinates. They are to one of the pylon supports to the base. He looks right and left. It must be Soundwave sending him on a repair duty. But that's not his specialty. It's Frenzie's. Whatever, he concedes and follows the orders.
Dropping into the pylon, he hears the strangled voice, "Make sure it's locked from the inside." She pleads. He does, not understanding her strangled voice. As he drops down to the bottom of the pylon, he sees why. He can smell it. She is waiting for him. She needs him. The pylon is only wide enough for them to stand up, no room to lay. But that doesn't stop her. Ripping her helmet off and dropping it to the floor, she places a booted foot against the wall directly beside his hip. Without waiting for permission, she rips his chest piece off. "Hurry, I'm beginning to go crazy."
He doesn't have to be asked twice. Clamping a hand deep into her beaded trusses, he clamps his mouth over hers, consuming her tongue while delving his own deep into her mouth. She tilts back so that her thigh now presses against his ribs. His own body surges feeding off her scent and need. In a swift thrust, he has connected them forcefully. Her nails scratch into the walls of the pylon. He has no room to maneuver with her pinning him to the wall, so she does the touching, pulsing and probing. With every beat of her pulse, his mouth matches it. She can feel him on the verge of climaxing, "No!" she gasps, "Not yet!"
He groans trying to hold back, "Then stop yourself! Primus, you are a god of this." His body won't listen to her voice. It listens to her body. Instantly she is overcome with his release. She cries out. Was it his heat, was it her frustration, was it her pleasure, or all of the above.
She thinks he is done meeting her need with his, but he smiles and firmly keeps their bodies locked together, "Let me show you what happens now." She moans.
With that, he begins to a harmonic energy wave that brings a new pleasure to her. He whispers in her ear, "Darling, this is just the beginning. Each time we merge, our bodies will become a new deeper harmony." And just to prove his point, he begins to rove his hands ever so delicately into the seams of her under-armor. Teasing, stoking her urges, feeling her temperature rise. It was a good thing she chose the pylon submerged deep in the cold ocean water, because he knew he was giving off far more heat than he ever had in past matings. Clearly, they were meant to be one. He was almost afraid their bodies would fuse into one permanently, was he ready for that?
He also knew, he need to save some of his ideas for future matings. She pleads and begs for his second release. He holds off as long as possible, but ….
"Bond with me, please, Sky. Take my spark as your own…" He presses his beating throbbing spark (still trapped within it's housing) against hers.
Her head rolls to the side in ecstasy, "I thought that was just a rumor spread by those soft hearted Autobots."
He smiles placing the tiniest and lightest kisses behind her audio receptor, "No, my love. I found it in the archives. No one talks about it. Clearly not here in the Decepticon ranks. Because no one wants to know that we are so much like these humans. We were always meant to have mates, partners, life long lovers. We were supposed to find ways to bring new life through love."
Sky rolls her head to look at him directly, "How do you know this?"
He strokes her cheek tenderly, "When I thought I was falling for you and thought I was cracked, I found Alpha Trion. I didn't ask him about you, I asked him about these rumors of mates. He showed me our ancient past. He also smirked and gave me a hint that there was more to you that anyone knew. I was afraid you were an Autobot spy. He just laughed and would say nothing else." Thunder looks at her directly, "Sky, we were meant to be mates. Please say yes."
Sky swallows hard. He believes everything he just said. But more than that, she accepts every word he said. She whispers the word, "Yes."
The com reaches them even in the depths of the ice cold water pylon, /Thundercracker, prepare to warp out. Space bridge two nanoseconds!/ Starscream bellows.
Thundercracker growls, "That guy is beginning to grate!"
Skywarp reaches for her helmet, "Shall we take him out?"
Snapping on his armor again, he waves a finger at her, "That's not a nice thing to say about your commanding officer."
She helps him straighten out another piece of his armor, "I don't know, Commander Thundercracker has a nice ring to it."
He cups her face and smirks and teases to taking out Megatron as well, "So does Lady Skywarp."
She narrows her gaze, "Yeah, well keep dreaming, Lord Thundercracker."
He places the lightest kiss on forehelm, "I just may. Looks like some of my dreams are starting to come true. Who knows what my future holds."
/THUNDERCRACKER!/ comes through the com again.
Thundercracker swears and swiftly climbs out of the pylon.
Starscream is clearly not happy at Thundercracker not being at his side instantly, "Where were you?" when he finally arrives at the gate room.
Thundercracker simply answers with a stoic look, "Busy. What is the mission?" Starscream narrows his gaze at Thundercracker. But Thundercracker has beaten Starscream at gambling games too many times to fold now. Not when he has something so precious in his hands. Starscream caves and moves on to brief the mission at hand.
Days later: Thundercracker returns with Starscream with their stolen booty. While Starscream debriefs with Megatron, Thundercracker turns to find Skywarp. He finds her playing lots with Dirge and Sunstorm. She doesn't even look up, "So what did you come back with this time?"
Thundercracker groans, "A sunburn and cactus spines in my chinks from buzzing Arizona."
She plays her lot and teases him, "Maybe I should have gone. You never did know when to pull your can up out of the fire."
Like their old days, he smacks her in the back of the head. "Yeah well they mind as well hand over the chips now with that hand you have." With that, everyone tosses their lots on the table. Thundercracker smirks pleased with ruining the game for her.
Cyclonous looks up to him, "Thundercracker, you are such a bore. Go remove your spines yourself."
Skywarp smirks egging him on, "Hey, I may be your wingman, but that doesn't mean I'm pulling anything out of your afterburner." Thundercracker has to bite his tongue hard at a retort about their last rendezvous. She looks up to him waiting for an answer. But she can see it written secretly in his silence. "Who knows where your butt has been. I ain't touching it!"
He grabs her bicep and yanks her from the table. She knows he isn't really mad. But she can see he is fighting something else. "Care to say that again? Remember, I hold rank over you." She goes face to face with him, instantly regretting it. She knows her resolve is hanging by a thread. She swallows hard and steps back with an artificial scowl.
Only then does she see his body language. It was a signal they used back in their counsel spying days. With the right hand laying on his left bicep three fingers are showing. Then he drops it to two. He wants a physical fight with her. He needs to pass her either information or something physical before they split in different directions.
His finger drops to one. As the lone finger begins to drop, her retort comes out, "Blow it out your exhaust, Thundercracker!"
With that, she shoves away from him. The slightest smirk from him confirms, it's exactly what he wanted. They begin a scuffle and a wrestling match. With his hand to her chest, he pushes her against the wall. His head lands right next to her ear, "Take this. I want it to give it to you tonight, but I have to go out again."
/Primus you are a turn on to say it out loud and think you can get away with it!/ she coms him back. A wicked chuckle comes back through the com with a firm-fierce gaze across his face for everyone else to see.
With that, she flips him to the floor, he slips the ring into the cuff of her armored glove. She tamps down her fist, making sure the small item lands against her palm. Her other fist comes to the floor next to his head: her signal to him. He knows she has it tightly. As he lifts his head for the next move, he whispers, "I bare the mate." And he curls her to the floor face down, pinning her hands behind her back. He carefully places his knee into her back. He dips his head down once again and sees tear brimming in her optics. So she can hold her dignity, he makes it look like the tears are from a knee in the back. But he knows her tears are for their soon-to-be-bond and committed relationship. And just to finish her off, he leans back in again and whispers softly, "I will never stop loving you. Until all are one."
A sob escapes her throat. So he makes it look like Thundercracker had bested Skywarp. Then he gets up. She is left laying flat on the floor burying her face in the paneling trying to get herself together. He wants so badly to help her up, but knows he must keep her cover. So he starts to turn away. A muffled voice comes from the floor with serious verbosity, "Same to you, Thundercracker."
Now that one struck him speechless and to the spark. He can't move either. Without the others knowing it, she made her vow in front of witnesses. Just like Alpha Trion had shown him from the ancient days.
Before Thunder can figure out what to say, Starscream comes back into the room. The Seekers are all standing around watching Skywarp slowly get up off the floor, while Thundercracker is still struck silent. Starscream finally speaks up, "What is going on here?"
Skywarp wipes the moisture from her face, making it look like sweat, "Nothing, sir."
Starscream growls, "Good. Thundercracker, Dirge, with me now. Skywarp, get yourself cleaned up. You look like a femme in a school yard fight."
Dirge scoffs, "Dare you to say that to Slipstream!"
Starscream whips out a sword and comes forward, "What did you say?" Dirge backs down instantly He already has too many scars from Starscream's sword. "Thought so. Let's go."
Thundercracker looks back to his partner, but she is adjusting something on her hand. His ring. His outward mark. He turns back as Starscream pokes him in the side with the sword.
Sky had swiftly secured the ring to her left hand, but couldn't look at it or everyone would know. Keeping up her dignity, she turns to the gambling game, "Keep your chips today, I take them from you tomorrow and then some." She smirks and proudly strides out of the room. Entering her quarters, she sinks down onto her bunk. And then, turning so no one will see, she drops the armored glove and holds her breath. He personally carved this for her from a piece of his own armor and embedded it with turquoise from the Arizona trip. A sob escapes before she can stop herself. And he has the mate. He must have loved her for far, far longer than she ever imagined. She will have to find out how long he knew she was female. Yes, next time they are together.
But before she can think much more about returning to his arms, the wall directly beside her gives and salt water rushes in. Something has crashed into the underwater base and water begins flowing in to the Seeker quarters. Skywarp is slammed into a bulk head along with Ramjet from another set of quarters. Ramjet makes it out the door unharmed and down the corridor. He secures the next bulkhead door. But Skywarp feels funny while stumbling down the corridor. Sealed in, she stumbles back into her quarters and manages to get a temporary patch welded into place. But then, the world goes sparking and black.
A few days after later, Starscream's team returns. Thundercracker is beat. He begins to head towards his quarters he shares with Skywarp, Thrust and Cyclonous. Dirge has decided to go for rejuvenate, while Starscream must report to Soundwave. Just as Thundercracker enters the darkened quarters, he can hear the splash of his foot in puddles of water. But then he trips over something. Reaching down swearing, he realizes it's someone's shoulder armor panel. He tosses it aside, and then he hears the laugh. It freezes him instantly.
"So, do tell, how did a pleasure 'Bot make it all the way from the Lushun system to Earth? And how many know you are here?"
The voice instantly flares Thundercracker's energy level, "Who cares? Lets get down to business." Thundercracker is instantly not tired. Kicking on one of his own lights, he looks down at the nearest panel on the floor. Skywarp's!
Thundercracker races down the hall to the common area. He can hear the laughter of the other men and the giggle of his own mate. Bursting into the room, he can see a whole new Skywarp. One he has never seen before. Her wings are intact, but any trace of her Seeker armor is gone. Her under-armor is concealed by a tantalizing drape of fabric. He knows it was the parachute that had grounded her only a matter of weeks ago.
What turns his gut is to see his mate seated provocatively in Thrust's lap. Thrust is stroking her bare shoulder and inching to put a finger to her breast while the other one twines through her beads. She giggles not stopping him. Thundercracker strides forward and yanks Thrust's hand away with one hand while yanking her off his lap with the other, "Don't touch her!"
Thrust is very confused, "Excuse me? Just who do you think you are?"
Thundercracker pushes Sky behind him, "She's mine."
Thrust stands up boldly, "Oh I doubt that. You were out when she arrived. How could she possibly be yours?"
Thunder clamps his hand down tighter on Sky's, "She just is."
Thrust looks around Thundercracker and asks her, "Are you his?"
With the touch of Thunder's rough handling, Sky's processor begins to get jumbled. She has visions of making love to Thunder on an Earth island, but mixed with it is memories of her flying strafing runs at his side with Thrust and Sunstorm on Cybertron. She doesn't know what to say. Thrust moves closer. Thunder draws his sword and places it carefully between them. "Back off, Thrust." His gaze leaves no question, Thunder will strike Thrust down fatally. Thrust has seen that look before from Thundercracker. It's the look just before he follows through with a threat.
But on the other hand, Thrust is getting cocky and smart, "Thundercracker, I think you have finally cracked. Since when have you taken to protecting these kind of 'Bots? We all know you don't partake. You are a prissy as Skywarp." Then just to add insult to injury, "Or Prime."
Thunder shakes his head, "She not a prostitute. I don't know what you did to her, but she's not."
Thrust and the others are very curious, "Oh really? Because she seemed more than willing to give. We were just haggling over price when you interrupted. So unless you are willing to ante up, I suggest you hand over the tart." With that Thrust draws his own sword. Thrust knows he is playing a dangerous game. Thundercracker is evenly skilled with Thrust, but Thundercracker has one more thing fueling him, that gives him an advantage.
Thundercracker grabs Sky's left hand and brings against his own spark where Thrust can see it. Thrust is surprised to see a strip of Thundercracker's armor with a Decepticon mark of Arizona turquoise stone hammered in. He knows the symbolism. But Thrust is also not willing to give up the first female pleasure they all have had in a very long time so easily. So he smirks, "Nice trinket. Now hand over the rest of her."
Thunder brings up his left to lay on top hers and drops the glove armor over just one finger. "Over my extinguished spark," he whispers showing the matching mark only with a strip of purple armor. Thrust knows for certain, Thundercracker won't give up this fight. It will get bloody quickly.
Thrust gasps, "You? But that would mean…."
Thundercracker smirks, "Yeah, you got that right."
"Got what right?" They all turn to see Megatron leaning on the door way, arms crossed over his chest. Clearly he has seen the whole argument.
Thrust is gasping between the recently returned Megatron (every one knew he had been with Slipstream, Starscream's twin sister) and the revelation Thundercracker just quietly revealed. "Ah…"
Megatron comes further into the room. Both Thrust and Thundercracker sheath their swords. Thunder hides his own band, and covers Sky's with his palm. Megatron takes Sky's hand from Thunder's chest. He examines the ring carefully. He knows exactly what it means, but he has beaten all of them at lots, the master of bluffing. No one knows what he is thinking currently. "I really don't care who she belongs to. What I do want to know is how she got here and who is going to make her leave?"
Thrust instantly points to Thundercracker, "His! She belongs to him. She's his problem."
Megatron, still holding but now caressing Sky's hand, steels his gaze at Thunder, "Is this true?" He brings Sky's finger tips to his mouth and lets his tongue part his lips inching closer to touch her fingers. Megatron knows exactly what he is doing. Will Thundercracker break before Megatron tastes his mate?
Will Elite Thundercracker be good soldier or will he be bonded protective mate?
Her fingers are a hair's breath from Lord Megatron's wicked tongue, when Thunder breaks, "YES! She's mine!"
Moving only his optics focus to Sky he asks, "Do you agree to the… commitment?" Everyone now knows and gasp.
The ball is completely in Sky's court now. But she is still struggling with her memory banks. Some how she knows she would be safer in Thundercracker's arms, but why does she also feel allegiance to Megatron? Thunder can see something is wrong with her memory. He takes a breath to speak, but one glance from Megatron makes it clear not to interrupt. Megatron does not like the delay. Nor the fights among his men. But clearly, he does not like spies and unauthorized personal. His gaze narrows tighter to Sky, "Well, my dear, are you his mate or not?"
She breathes, "Yes."
Megatron whips his head back to Thundercracker, "Get your wife off my base immediately. And you best not have any unauthorized communications or com errors. If I see her again on my base, I will execute her myself in front of you. Have I made myself clear?"
Thundercracker gasps and nods, "Yes, sir."
Megatron growls to everyone, "Anyone else planning a honeymoon?" Everyone shakes their heads. "Good, now get to work. And someone find Skywarp! I have a mission for him with Starscream."
Thundercracker grips Sky's hand ever so tightly and leads her out of the room quickly and swiftly to their quarters. He locks the door and instantly turns to her grabbing her by the shoulders, "What in Primus is going on?"
She is shaking in fear, "I have no idea."
He can see she really is frightened. But he knows Skywarp must come back quickly. He hates to let go of her but knows her life depends on what he does next, "Well we have to get you back together. Let's do that while you tell me what happened." He yanks the parachute off her and has to steel himself against the urge to kiss her and caress her.
"Water and a bulkhead. That's all I know. Ramjet made it out but…"
Thunder then takes her head in his hands and can see where her head has been damaged, possibly even to her processor. "This doesn't look good. You should see someone."
She shakes her head violently, "No! You know what will happen to me if Knock Out or Shockwave start probing and find out who I really am." Biting his lip he quickly helps her get the other pieces of her armor put on.
"Skywarp, bond with me, quickly!" She doesn't ask, just parts her spark casing. Thunder does the same. It may not have been the romantic and strongest joining that it should have been, but it would have to do. Thunder pushed himself into weak Skywarp dumping all his memories of who Skywarp is to hurry up and upload her memory banks. The One is very weak.
Listen, take this for now. Later, we will One like she would have. Just -
The sparks jumped back to their respective casings in fear. They can hear the noises in the hallway. "Slag!" Thunder growls. Swiftly he lifts her and dumps her onto his bunk, using his torso to cover hers and doing his best to let the shadows to hide her face. Cupping a hand around her naked thigh, he pulls it into a provocative position around his waist. Thrust and Dirge come into the room laughing.
Thunder growls against his own growing physical desires to the two intruders, "Would you mind?" To keep up the façade, Sky curls a hand against the back of his neck clearly showing her ring.
Thrust laughs, "Just thought we would see if you need any help?" Dirge laughs along with him. "I'm not just called Thrust for just any reason, you know." Dirge snorts nearly to convulsions.
With that, Sky lets out a cry that inclines Thunder is doing better than just fine. Thunder has to close his optics, against the now burning need to release into his mate. This had started as a ploy, but quickly is going to be a reality. Thunder barks, "GET OUT!" Curling a hand to his ankle, he pulls a dagger and flings it. It hits it's target: Thrust's forehead.
Sky slides her leg up tighter against him, "Thunder, let them watch. Maybe they will learn what the difference between a mate and a plastic toy."
Dirge gaffes at her jab at Thrust. Thrust pulls the dagger from his forehead, "That's not what you said earlier."
This time, Thunder yanks a wing into a sword. "I will finish with my mate, and then I'm coming for you. I suggest you prepare. Now for the last time, GET OUT!" Sky begins movements that make it look like Thrust is doing his bound (marital) duty to her. Dirge turns fuming Thrust out of the room and secures the door.
Thunder drops his head to her chest, "Slag it Sky, I swear-" He doesn't get to finish, because she has just impaled her self on him. He had no idea she had released the piece covering his intimacy cord and had it fully extended. He groans loudly and climaxes with her. Now he knows they are in deep, deep trouble. Fighting himself, he pulls away, "Skywarp. I have to bring you back as Skywarp or you will be dead." He mutters his breath, "And so will I." His look turns soft at the thought of her death.
She frowns, "I like being your Sky."
He smiles tenderly and gets the rest of her armor back on, "Yeah well, so do I. But this is the real world. Now, can you access the memories and figure out how to be good old smart-aft Skywarp?"
She sits up and closes her optics. He can see where her processor is sparking trying to repair the damage. Carefully, he helps the links. He can see the change in her body. "Do you know who you are?"
Her body shutters, "How could I let Thrust touch me? Ew!"
Thunder takes her beads and tucks them under her helmet, "Yep, that sounds like my Skywarp."
She waggles a finger at him, "Yeah well Skywarp would have cut his arm off. Your Sky, he would never even gotten that close. Alright, I think I'm ready. Later we will have to purge any of that primary programming."
He smirks, "Or we could save it for just you and I." This time she smacks him in the back of the head. He sighs getting back to the task, "You need to get your story straight about where you have been."
She stands up straight, "I got an idea. Just follow my lead."
He shakes his head, "With a damaged processor, I don't know."
She leans into him suggestively, "Too damaged to commit to you?"
He smacks her on the back of the head, "Get out of here!"
~~ He has no idea how they pulled it off, but both of them walked away from the joint meeting with Starscream and Megatron alive. Skywarp and Starscream tear out of the base. Thundercracker is assigned some appalling detailed assignment with Thrust. And then repairs to the Seeker quarters. Thundercracker makes doubly sure every piece of Skywarp's non-essential armor that got left behind is hidden.
But what he doesn't know is what Megatron said to Soundwave as soon as the room was cleared. "Bug the quarters."
Soundwave merely smiles, "Already done, sir."
Megatron smiles broadly, "I should have known. Keep me informed." Soundwave silently nods.
