CHAPTER 5

I hate waking up to pain, but I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. If the pain before was bad, this was horrifying. I bit back a scream as I tried to silent the incessant high pitched ringing. I shook my head and it abruptly it cut off. "Ow, Slaggit."

"Ratchet, she's awake."

"Move." A scuffling could be heard. I'd never heard either of these voices before. Where was I? Had more decepticons arrived while I was asleep?

A few seconds later a loud crash was heard followed by an exasperated sigh was heard. "Primus, you are a sparkling! Get out of my med bay, Bumblebee, or I will weld your aft to the ceiling!"

My eyes blinked open. "Ugh. That's gonna leave a mark."

A metallic chuckle came from a BRIGHT yellow mech. "I'm afraid it already has, young one."

I frowned. "And you are-?"

"Autobot Medical Officer Ratchet, at your service."

My eyes narrowed. Autobot? What had happened?! "How did I get here? Why am I here? Where's Megatron?"

Concern filled the startled mech's eyes. "You were brought here by the… Decepticons."

I frowned as he said that as if it were a profanity. "You fainted. I'm not even quite sure why."

I'd noticed he didn't answer my last question. "Where is Megatron?!"

"Calm down, young one. You are safe now. He won't hurt you anymore." Oh, to be at the mercy of a ticked off, PMS human femme after waking up in pain.

"YOU IDIOT! HE DIDN'T SLAGGIN HURT ME! NONE OF THEM DID. DO YOU THINK THEY'D BRING ME HERE TO THE SLAGGIN AUTOBOT BASE IF THEY HAD BEEN THE REASON I GOT HURT?" I hadn't realized that I'd started throwing things until a particularly heavy wrench left a little dent in his armor.

The doors flew open. "Ratchet! Don't throw things at the helpless… human."

Ratchet rubbed his sore arm and glared at Optimus, who was looking at me with bewilderment, who was glaring at Ratchet and Optimus.

"What happened?" He demanded, looking at me.

Ratchet snorted. "That 'helpless human' just viciously attacked me."

"Why?" This question was directed at me.

I shrugged. "He insulted Megatron. It kinda ticks me off."

Optimus frowned. "I'm not sure what he told you, but he is dangerous. He killed humans for no reason."

I shook my head. "No he didn't."

"But-"

"But nothing. Those humans locked him up for over 70 years. If somebody did that to me, I'd be about ready to kill them too, and anyone that had anything to do with him. That little yellow bot threatened to kill humans after he was released. Is he evil now?"

They vaguely wondered how she knew Bumblebee, but Optimus would not be diverted. "He is a power hungry, tyrannical, evil-ow!"

He rubbed his forehead where a wrench had mysteriously flown up and hit him. "Say one more thing… I dare you. This little human packs a punch."

I crossed my arms over my chest as we had a stare down. Finally he looked away. "I still do not think that it is a good idea for you-"

"I will decide what a good idea is for me! It is my life, you know, or are you gonna take my choice from me?" I'd learned enough about Optimus to know that I'd struck a nerve. He was big on 'freedom for all sentient beings' or whatever.

"You do have a choice. I am simply suggesting-"

I interrupted again. "I heard what you are suggesting and I don't agree. So, you either take me to Megatron NOW or I will make your existence a living pit."

Optimus sighed. "Follow me."

~In the brig.~

Megatron growled and kicked the wall in anger. Barricade rolled his eyes. "Lord Megatron, I don't think that will really help at all."

Voices could be heard from the other end of the hall. "Did you see the way it talked to Optimus?"

"Yes! That was the worse insubordination I've ever seen! That was suicide!"

"But did you see how freaked out it made Optimus? I can't believe they got Optimus to agree to that!"

"Definitely worse than any Decepticreep I've ever seen."

Megatron smirked. Who was this that had put his brother in his place? He chuckled grimly. It must have been bad for them to say it was worse than one of them. What had this person gotten Optimus to agree to? Suddenly an unwelcome familiar voice could be heard… Optimus.

He sighed heavily. "Right this way…"

The voice of a familiar, ticked off femme sounded. "If they're hurt in ANY way-"

"Yes, yes. You've already spoken of your threat, Livewire." Optimus sounded exhausted.

"I don't make empty threats."

"I don't doubt it…" Optimus muttered something under his breath. "What did living with that crazy bot did to you?"

Megatron bristled as he realized who Optimus was talking about. A loud clank could be heard. "Ow! What the-?"

"I told you not to insult Megatron! And next time I won't go easy."

Megatron felt a swell of pride in his spark. An exasperated Optimus and Livewire appeared in front of him. Megatron feigned ignorance.

"Optimus, I see you've met my pet, Livewire." She smirked and Optimus just sighed. "Take her, please." Megatron snickered.

……………………………………………..

I looked at Megatron, secretly checking for damage. "Let him out."

"What?!"

"Let him out."

"I can't! Do you have any idea what you're asking? We're in the middle of a war! We can't let him out!"

"Tell me, Optiwuss, I mean, Mr. Prime, why were you fighting to begin with?"

"The allspark."

"Where is the Allspark now?"

Silence. "…It's gone."

"Very good. So, logically speaking, there is no war."

"Wait! Um… Primus, you're right."

I smirked. "Now will you let him out?"

Optimus sighed. "Fine. Ironhide, do as she asks."

"But Optimus!"

"Do it!"

I laughed maniacally in triumph. Iron hide hesitated and looked at me. I shrugged. "Blame Screamer. It's what I always do."

A chuckle was emitted from the holding cell. I knew it was Barricade. They opened the brig and Megatron and Barricade stepped out. Barricade stretched.
"Ah, that's better."

Ironhide glared at him. "Stupid slagger."

I laughed at him. Megatron scooped me up easily. I winced as he brushed against a bruise. Unfortunately one of the autobrats saw.

"Stop it! You're hurting her."

Megatron growled at Bumblebee before looking at me. "Are you Ok?"

I frowned. "I don't know. That's never happened before. It was really strange. I'm a little dizzy now, but I'll manage."

My laugh betrayed my anxiety. He looked at me with concern. "I don't think you're telling the truth."

I shrugged. "Too bad." Suddenly my body started shaking again.

"Crap." I blacked out.

Chapter

Where was I?? I could hear voices, but they seemed far off. I looked up only to see a bright light. I called out.

"Hello? Where am I?"

"Hello, young one." I looked up at the strange transformer in front of me. I'd never seen anything like it.

"Who are you? Where am i?"

She smiled at me. "You are safe… and you may call me the allspark."

"The allspark?! I thought you were destroyed!"

She shook her head. "Never could my power be destroyed. It simply transferred into a different vessel."

"Me?"

She chuckled slightly. "Well, partly. I'm very proud of how you've turned out. I was hoping that you'd be ok."

"What do you mean?"

"There are others who, like you hold part of my power of the Allspark."

"Come again?"

"After you are changed, it shall be your duty to find them and watch after them."

"After I change? What-" My words were cut off as I was surrounded by a wonderful glowing light. I looked down to see my body had changed. I was no longer a human… I was Cybertronian.

"H-how?"

"My dear, I know this is hard to understand, but you need to. All sentient beings have a spark, but a human spark is hidden deep within your souls. It is nearly invisible. Only the few good ones can find it."

"Alright. So now I'm, that is I am a transformer?"

She nodded, grinning. "You've got it! Good bye, my dear. And remember you must be careful. Your spark mate might not recognize you."

"WHAT?!" What's a sparkmate? What is she talking about? Even as I spoke, I could feel her pulling away.

"No! Stop a minute! I don't understand! What-"

"Goodbye."

Suddenly I felt like I was being thrown into an icy lake. My eyes flew open... or should I say my optics on lined. Where was I? Ah, the med bay at the autobot base. Fun stuff. I looked down at myself. Wow. I was still a Cybertronian. Everything looked strange.

What am I saying? This was strange. I heard the sound that meant somebody had opened the medbay door. I heaved a sigh. Alright, LiveWire, time to face the music.
