Soulmates; Chapter 21: Off the Island

Blackarachina stared across the African waters glumly. It had been weeks-maybe months, she wasn't quite sure-since she and Waspintor had been transwarped to South Africa. She had been trying to get them off the island ever since then, using the tehnoichy that had transwarpedwith them, but it was taking quite some time. After Wasp had 'pulled himself together' he started to talk normal again. Which was kind of bad for her because of his content complaining and such.

Blackarachina sighed and retreated back to her lab-or in other words an abandoned cave. Blackarachina ran her hand along the cold, damp, cave wall as she strolled into it. She stood in front of a supply table and fiddled with the key-board carelessly.

She sighed pressed some buttons on the key-board, then the machine roared to life. At first Blackarachina was a bit startled by it but then smirked. "I did it," she murmured. "I'm finally going to get off this Spark for saken place!" Wasp poked his helm in and grinned. "You got it working?" he said. "Alright!" Blackarachina ignored Waspiontor and flicked some switches, pressed some buttons, etc. She smiled as transwarp energy buzzed from a mini space bridge; not a life size, wouldn't fit in the cave, plus not enough material, but it was big enough for both her and Wasp.

Wasp walked in and stood beside, watching the space bridge in awe. Then a transwarp gate opened up in the space bridge. Blackarachina and Waspitonter both grinned. "We're outta here!" Wasp cheered, making a move to go inside. Blackarachina nodded. And I can get my revenge on Optimus. she thought. But, when she thought of Optimus, there was a tugging feeling in her spark; a some what wanting feeling, a feeling of...love towards him. Blackarachina hated to admit it but she was, actually, deeply in love with Optimus. Even though she would always show hatred towards him but that was just a cover up; sure she had a deep rage against him, yet she still loved him, like when she was Elita-1, she was like a love struck youngling back then but, now, she knew she was in love, though she hated to admit it to anyone.

Not even Optimus, the mech she was in love with.

"Are you comin' or what?" Waspitor asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Blackarachina didn't say anything; all she did was nod and step into the space bridge, as soon as Wasp did. They went through the space bridge that went to Dinobot Island.

Unaware of what was happening as the Autobot base...

"There's another All-Spark key!" Ratchet exclaimed. Sari nodded at the surprised Ratchet. Sari had got the Autobot's into the make shift kitchen and told them about her shocking discovery. Prowl's optics widened slightly. "And Charlotte has it?" Prowl said, gesturing in the toddler in the living room. Everyone looked in that dircetion; Charlotte was playing with her new dolls.

Bulkhead stared in disbelief. Wave just shrugged. "I don't see what the big deal is; its just a key." Wave said. "Ditto," Jazz agreed. "The All-Spark gave me an key when was eight," Sari said. "And?" Brawn said, folding his servos across his chest plate. "And it gave it to me, I think, 'cause I was...well." Sari said, gesturing to herself. Brawn nodded slowly, his gaze shifting to Sari and Charlotte. Noah and Luke barked as they both chased each other in the base. Charlotte looked up at them and grinned at them. "Maybe the All-Spark didn't give it to Charlotte 'cause she's techno-organic," Bumblebee piped up. "Maybe it just...gave it to her her, ya know?"

"Well," Red Alert said, "the All-Spark wouldn't just give something like that to just anybody."

Wave turned her helm over to Optimus. "Whatda think, Prime?" Wave asked him. But Optimus was just stareing out the window, deep in thought. He was thinking of Elita or Blackarachina or whatever she called herself, Optimus frankly didn't know anymore. He was still in love with her though. He loved...everything about her; her smile, laugh-even though both changed-her...well there was just to much for Optimus to count off. But now she doesn't trust me anymore. Optimus thought glumly. That's all he saw of what was the number one problem: she didn't trust him anymore. He thought she was beautiful as Elita-1 or Blackarachina, all he saw were the same bot he fell in love with mega-cycles ago. Exept she no longer trusted him anymore. And that broke the Prime's spark into tiny, little, shattered, pieces that could not be put back together again.

Optimus wondered where she was now; not out of curiosity, he only wanted to make amends for everything, so the bond they shared could grow-again. But he felt like she was back from Primusknowswhere and was...some where. But here.

"Hello! Earth to Optimus! Anybot home?" Wave said, snapping her digits together in front of his face plate. Successfully snapping Optimus out of his love struck thoughts. "Huh? What?" He said, jerking his helm up. Wave rolled her optics. "Whatda think of Charlotte havein' an All-Spark key or whatever." Wave said. "Oh," Optimus said sheepishly. "Maybe there is a reason why Charlotte has it but not because she's half Cybertroian." Optimus glanced over at Hotshot, whom was about to say something. "Which she's not." Optimus added. Hotshot closed his mouth then.

They started babbling on about it but Optimus tuned himself out of it and retreated to his berth room, not knowing that a creatain four year-old had followed him. Optimus sat on his berth.

Optimus got up, went to his closet, pulled out a box, sat back on his berth, box in his lap and started to rummage through it. He found some old holo-pics of his Academy days; mostly him, his old friends and...Elita. He tossed the some back into the box but kept the ones of Elita out. Optimus stared at the first one; Elita sitting on a little bench in the court-yard, waving at him as he took the photo, smiling brightly.

He flipped to the next one; Elita was sitting on the ground, her servos around Optimus' neck, in a some what hug-some other bot must've taken the picture, Optimus wasn't quiet sure of that though-Elita was grinning, her cheek pressed against his, Optimus grinning and blushing. Optimus shook his helm at that and chuckled to himself. He threw the photos of Elita and Sentinel back into the box (Yay!) and kept the ones of just her, other bots and him. All though there weren't that much photos of her and Sentinel. Optimus flipped through more pictures of Elita, other bots and him. He stared at one of Elita of the day before the went to Archa-Seven.

Optimus regretted that day, ever since Elita...changed. But, she may have became techno-organic, she still kept her undying beauty that he thought would stay forever. He let that one drop from his hand and onto the floor, tear in his optic.

"Did you like her?"

Optimus glanced down at the floor to see Charlotte standing next to the Archa-Seven photo. Optimus blinked. "Huh?" Charlotte pointed to the photo. "Her, the pretty girl bot." She said in a sweet voice. Optimus it his lip. "Yeah," he mused. "Yeah, I guess I..." "What happened to her?" Charlotte interrupted. Optimus looked away, shut his optics for a moment, considering if he should tell her or not and looked back at her. "There was an...accident on that organic planet we were on and-" Optimus' cut off his sentence when Charlotte put a hand on his ankle with a small smile.

Optimus couldn't help but smile back at her. "What's her name?" Charlotte asked. Optimus' smile turned into a frown, unsure of how to answer that question. He looked away for a moment, then back at her. "In the photo," he said, "her name was Elita-1." Charlotte's smile got bigger. "That's a pretty name," she said, the frowned. "What do mean by 'was'?" The Prime sighed slightly. She deserves to know. Optimus thought.

"She had...changed her name after the...accident." He said. Seeing the toddlers confused face, he added. "She changed it to Blackarachina." Charlotte gave a small nod. "Blackiracna?" She said, not getting the pronouceing quite right. Optimus laughed slightly when she didn't. "Close," he said, patting her head with his finger. Charlotte giggled and rubbed her head when he stopped. Optimus extended his hand for her to jump on and she did. He put her on his lap, next to the boxes. Charlotte pointed to the picture of Elita hugging Optimus. She grinned up at him. "You really like her, don't you?" she said. Optimus' cheeks dusted a light red and tickled her tummy with his finger.

Charlotte laughed and clutched her stomach slightly. Optimus stopped when her face was turning into a red tomato. Charlotte hugged his hand slightly. Optimus smiled at her, feeling a light tug in his spark.

Charlotte started to ask questions about all the photos that had been taken and Optimus gladly answered the child gently, never getting annoyed. But Optimus' feeling of love for Elita or Blackarachina never left his spark. Even a new loving bond had sprouted between him and Charlotte but it was more of a father daughter bond then the bond her and Elita had.

The two unaware of what was happening on Dinobot Island...

Blackarachina sat on the Dinobot Island beach, staring across Lake Eerie. She felt as if she was still on Africa; still staring across a water, still sitting on a beach. Wasp and Grimlock were having a fight with each other because Grimlock thought Wasp liked her, some other Decepticon named, Scrapper, kept on flirting with her her, even when she continued to threaten him, etc.

Blackarachina sighed as a loud WHAM echoed through the island, followed by Wasp's screams. Blackarachina had this feeling that she need to...see somebot, she felt as if someone had tied a rope around her and wanted to pull her towards...something. Or someone. But Blackarachina knew what it was: she wanted Optimus. She tried to ignore it but the feeling never went away. She bit her lip and stood up. She glanced over her shoulder, took that raft that was on the beach and took off.

As soon as she came ashore, she transformed and climbed onto the buildings, jumping from roof top to roof top. She stopped abruptly when she ran out of buildings. She transformed and glanced around; only abounded buildings were there.

She saw an abounded plant that seemed to have life in it. Blackarachina transformed back to her alt mode, shot a web to one of the poles, took a good hold of it and swung her self over to the roof of the plant. She landed gracefully on it and peered through one of the windows, the feeling getting stronger in her spark; she felt like her spark might explode in her spark chamber.

Blackarachina gasped when she Optimus, sitting on his berth, a box of pictures on his lap and a human toddler also there. The toddler was asking some questions about some pictures in the box and Optimus answered them with his charming smile.

Blackarachina could some of the things they were saying, some. But she heard the next thing perfectly well. The toddler pointed to a photo of her when she was Elita. "She's beautiful, Optimus," the toddler said. Optimus smiled and blushed slightly when she added. "I see why your in love with her." Blackarachina's optics widened in surprise. Optimus...loves me? she thought. "She is beautiful," Optimus said.

"Even now?" The toddler asks.

"Even now."

The toddler grinned and hugged his hand, Optimus just grinned back. Blackarachina climbed back onto the roof, not aware of that she was smiling. "So," she said, hands on her waist, "Optimus is still in love." Blackarachina shook her helm and sat down, not realizing it. Blackarachina was to deep in thought to realize it. And that she was to in love to realize what she was doing either.

Optimus felt as if he should go out onto the roof, reasons unknown. He glanced down at a half asleep Charlotte with a kind smile on his face plate. He put the box of memories aside and stood up, cradling Charlotte in his servos. He took her to her room-Sari's old room in other words-and put her under the covers of her tire bed gently. He glanced at a cocoa brown teddy bear with a cherry red bow tie, black button eyes and a pink, heart shaped, nose place beside the bed. Optimus picked it up and placed it in Charlotte's small arms. Optimus stood up at smiled at that.

Optimus left the room as quietly as he could. He shut the door softly and headed to the set of stairs that went to the roof, his feeling of going there getting to strong his his spark to ignore. Optimus climbed onto the roof-and saw Blackarachina sitting there, staring off into the distance, not noticing him. Optimus froze in his place. Why is Elita here? He thought, a bit stunned that she was here.

"Elita?" Optimus said softly.

Blackarachina turned around to face him, which surprise him because he thought she wouldn't be able to hear him. Blackarachina got up and put her face up into a scoff. "You!" she hissed, trying to hid her love. Optimus walked closer to her. "Don't be surprised to see me, Elita," Optimus said. "I do live here." Blackarachina pointed a finger at him. "Don't call me Elita!" she snapped.

Optimus folded his servos across his chest plate. "Why not? It is your name." Optimus retorted. Blackarachina shook her helm, taking her finger back. "No," she said. "No, Elita-1 died from those spiders, Blackarachina was born into this...this freak!"

Optimus shook his helm angrilyy. "No," he said, looking her in the optics, taking hold of her shoulder plates. "Your not a freak, your Elita-1." His voice had grew softer as he lifted her chin up. Blackarachina loved this moment; she never wanted him to let go. But she swatted him away. "Thanks," she hissed. "The lies of your sympathy really help me with the organic half problem."

Optimus' face plate soften. "But I'm not lying." he said. Blackarachina shook her helm; she loved the mech, yes, yet she didn't feel that he loved her back. "I'll just go now," Blackarachina said quietly, walking away. Optimus felt a sudden burst of fear-of her leaving-, love and wanting explode in his spark. Optimus reached for her. "Wait!" he said, grabbing hold of her wrist. Blackarachina turned her helm. "Let go of me, Optimus." she hissed. Optimus shook his helm and turned her around to face him. "Elita," he said, "I never wanted this, I never wanted you to mistrust me but you should know that I-" Optimus was cut off when Blackarachina kissed his lips. She didn't even realize that she had done it; she had just been in this pool of emotions and she just...well...

Optimus was at first shocked by the kiss but he relaxed into the kiss. He wrapped his servos around her, pulling her closer to him. Soon enough, they were holding on to each other in the kiss.

They broke apart for a moment to only dive back in for more-Blackarachina realizing what she was doing. They both realized then that they were both still in love from all those mega-cycles ago. When Optimus had pictured this moment from his Academy days, he pictured it a whole lot different. But that didn't matter, as long as it was happening. Blackarachina then found out that Optimus saw her a beautiful, smart, funny femme that he adored every day of his life-cycle. Blackarachina smiled slightly and kept on kissing the mech. Her mech she corrected herself. Optimus brought her even closer to his chassis.

They loved this.

Every single moment of it.

They wished it never had to end; that they never had to leave this spot, that they never had to stop, that this could ever end. Love was brusting from Blackarachina's dark spark that had been twisting her soul, truning her to a cold hearted, dark, Decepticon she was. Until now.

So they just stood there, kissing each other, not having a care in the world.
