CHAPTER FIVE

Sacrifice Of The Reborn And Unborn

***

Bianca's P.O.V:

Strange as it may sound, I was really hoping that I wouldn't die in the desert, during that battle against the Decepticons.

All I had ever wanted was for Em to be happy, and for me and Optimus Prime to have a sparkling together.

I had almost all of those things, but I just needed to get through this battle.

During the battle, I found myself fighting alongside Starscream.

I hadn't wanted to believe that he could be Em's spark-mate too but, after getting to know him, I knew that he, like Bumblebee, was perfect for her.

He was strong enough for her, but would also bend over backwards just to please her. He had given up everything in order to be with her, and now here he was fighting the very beings he had strived to control for so long.

I had to hand it to him, he was fighting terribly well for someone who used to be on the side he was slowly killing.

"You okay, Starscream?" I asked him, as we stopped to take a nano-second breather.

"Never better…how many more do you think there are?"

"Who knows?"

"I…watch out!" He cried, as a deadly energy blast came hurtling towards me.

Starscream pushed me out of the way, taking the energy hit himself, directly against his spark.

We both fell to the ground, as Starscream began to dim grey, and I was barely aware of the world moving around us as I leaned over Starscream's unmoving shell.

"Starscream, hold on!" He can't be gone…good Primus, what will Em do!?

In the back of my mind, I saw exactly what Em would do, she would be crying uncontrollably over Starscream's lifeless shell, screaming his name to the heavens for taking him away from her.

I had to make a choice – which of my dreams meant more to me.

I saw Optimus, my beloved, racing towards where Emma was, to help her with whatever battle she was about to face. He cared about her greatly, like she was the greatest treasure in the known universe…which she was.

Slowly, I smiled, and light began to glow blue around my chest, which I pressed to Starscream's shattered chest.

Not only was I repairing it, but I was also doing something else.

I was transferring my spark into Starscream. The All-Spark rim would die along with me, but now that my spark was inside of Starscream, he would live.

And I…along with my unborn sparkling, would die.

As I died, I remembered the first time I had ever seen Emma.

She had just been a little child, but I valued her as a precious gem, my very best friend, and I knew that she had always considered me as her guardian, no matter what had happened.

She valued my friendship.

"Princess Emma…everything I did, I did for you, my friend…" I said, as I died.
