Time for chapter 27! XD OK, in this one, we're gonna focus on the whole Wave's-servo-having-some-weird-injury-and-Candy-trying-to-remember-something thingy. *deep breath* Whoa, that's a mouth full! X) Oh and, if you noticed, I changed the summary in this chappie, 'cause it didn't sound good AND the plot is, KINDA, changing from finding your one true love to mystery. (I'm not gonna change 'drama' to 'mystery'). But I am STILL gonna have the finding true love thingy 'cause not everyone has found their soulmate yet. And, for this chappie, I'm just switching back and fourth with Optimus&Elita One and Wave&Hot Shot and and Blurr&Candy. Enjoy!

Soulmates; Chapter 27: Catching Up, Remembering & Sickness
Hot Shot's POV
I opened my optics with a few blinks to find Wave lying peacefully in my servos. I smiled at her, making her more secure in my servos. I glanced outside and found the bright Sun rising up in the distance. I blinked twice. Wasn't it setting a few cycles ago? I glanced at the Earth clock beside my berth. 9:34 AM I blinked a couple of times at it, until in sunk in. I chuckled to myself, shaking my helm. We just fell asleep like this. I thought.
The Sun's rays shot through the windows and hit Wave's optics. Her optics tightened and she groaned. I chuckled. Wave gave up on trying to block out the Sun and her optics, almost magically, fluttered open. Wave groaned and shifted slightly in my servos. "Mornin' to you, too." I say sarcastically. Wave made a, "Hmmm," sound and yawned. She lazily rolled herself to the other side of me and tried to fall back into recharge. I chuckled again. Wave's optics jerked open at the sound of me and sat up in my servos like a bullet. Wave glanced over at me and I gave her a sheepish smile in return.
Wave blinked twice at me beforeing saying, "What the pit are you doing in my berth, Hot Shot?" I rolled my optics. "Correction," I say. "What are YOU doing in MY berth, Wave?" I respond to her.
Wave blinked again at me, trying to make this sink in-I guess-and then she...laughed?
I blinked. "What?" I ask.
"Its just," she said through chuckles. "My mom was fraggin' right!" I could feel my face plate turn bright red.
She laughed harder.
I glared at her. Wave calmed down a little, she looked at me. "Sorry, Shot." She said. I smiled, the red in my face plate going away. "Hmmmmm mmmmm." I say. Wave shook her helm and gave me one of her 'You don't belive me', kinda look. I rolled my optics at her, then her look went away and she grinned devilsihly at me, obviously getting a naughty idea. I could just imagine the human 'light-bulb' going off on the top of her helm.
Wave wrapped her servos around my neck. Wave was kneeling on her knee plates, making her look taller then me. Our fore helms were touching and our mouth plates almost together. I chuckled a little, realizing what her idea was. Our optics closed and I placed my mouth plate on her's.
The kiss was sorta sweet, could make anybot melt into it. We kissed. And we kissed. And we kissed. And we kissed...
Until the door opened.
"Hey," I heard Rodimus say. "What are you-OH PRIMUS!"
Me and Wave let go of each other and looked over to the door-way, Rodimus looking at us with his optics wide. Wave slunk into my servos. I smiled sheepsihly at my leader. "H-Hey, Rodimus." I say sheepishly. Rodimus' shocked face plate turned into a stern on. "What the pit do you younglings doing?" Rodimus asked, making 'younlings' be heard. But why would he...? Then it dawned on me.
He thought we were-!
"Rodimus, its not what you think!" I exclaim.
Rodimus rolled his optics. "Yeah, sure. And Sentinel DOESN'T have a chin the size of Cybertron." I could hear Wave groan in...pain? I glanced down at her-Rodimus heard her, too, and glanced down, too-she was holding the sides of her helm in agony. Her groans grew louder and turned into cries. I blinked. "Sweetspark," I say. "What's wrong?" Wave looked up at me; he face plate was red, like she was...hot. Water droplets-that humans would call sweat-were coming from her fore helm, her optics wide, dental plates together. "I-I...I don't...URG!" Wave shouted.
Suddenly, outta NOWHERE, there was some sparks flying from her servo. It was the spot I had touched yesterday and made Wave cry in pain. The metal ripped open to revile her Ironoide skin and Cybertronian circuitry.
She fell to the floor in agony. "Wave!" Rodimus cried in surprise. I jumped down from the berth down to Wave. Me and Rodimus kneeled down to Wave. I slid one servo under her shoulder blade plate, the other under her waist. I pulled her up a little. "Wave," I say, VERY softly. "What's wrong?" I kinda felt like I was talking to a sparkling. Wave took one glance up at me and closed her optics, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"It hurts." She groans.
"What hurts?"
"My servo."
She thought about it and added, "And my helm."
Rodimus glanced at me; as if I had answers. I shrugged at him. My gaze went back to Wave; her face plate was now white, just her cheeks were light red. Her hands had dropped from the sides of her helm. Her breathing slightly slower. Rodimus got up and went to the com-link. "I'll call Red Alert and Ratchet." He said and I nodded.
I went back to Wave. I lifted her chin with my digit, leaning my helm a little closer to her face plate. "Sweetspark," I whispered to her softly. Wave opened her optics slightly, tears coming down her cheeks like a waterfall. I gave her a warm grin, stroking her helm gently. "Sweetspark, are you gonna be okay?" Wave shrugged, cringing after. "I don't know..." She said quietly in a moan.
I frowned for a nano-click, my warm grin returing for her. "Yeah, Hot Shot's here, too, Ratchet," Rodimus told Ratchet on the other end. I tried to ignore the conversation they were having, focusing on Wave. "You'll be okay," I told her. "I promise, Wave. You'll be okay." She gave a weak smile but it faded as her optics closed.
I panicked.
"Wave!" I say.
Rodimus turned around and saw us. "Get down here, NOW!" Rodimus barked into the com-link. Wave rested her helm onto my chest plate with on last moan of pain.
"No..."
*Meanwhile, on the roof, Optimus and Elita*
"...and that's basically what happened after you...'left'." Optimus finished. Elita One and Optimus Prime were sitting on the roof top of the base, catching up with what each other had missed with the other. Elita seemed a little shocked with the whole 'kicked-out-of-the-Aceamdy-thing'.
"Wow," Elita One said. "That's..." She tried to find the words to describe it. She found one, "Amazing."
Optimus smiled.
She smiled back.
Optimus glanced down to the ground bellow them, both their stabilizing servos dangling from the rooftop of the base. Elita sighed as she followed his gaze and said, "Earth sure is different from Cybertron, isn't it?" Optimus looked up with a smile and a nod. "Yes," he said, "it is." Elita One sighed again and slid over to Optimus a little more. Elita leaned onto his boxed shoulder plate thoughtfully, staring at the sky. Optimus glanced over at Elita and grinned, wrapping a servo around her. They watched the sky together; they shining Sun, the white fluffy clouds, the beautiful blue sky...
Diffentally nothing from Cybertron. Elita thought.
Optimus rested his chin on her helm gently, keeping their smiles. Elita One glanced up at Prime, her optics shining in the sunlight. "Optimus?" she asked.
"Yes?"
"Did you still...loveme when I was Blackarachina?"
Optimus blinked but then smiled gently at her. "Of course." He said. "Why would you think otherwise?"
Elita glanced down for a minute, then looked back up. "I just..." She said. "I just...thought that..." Optimus shushed her by placing a digit on her lips, keeping his warm smile. "Hey," he said softly. "No matter what, I still loved you. Even then." He thought about it and added, "And now." Elita glanced up at the mech with a big grin. In his own discert way, he told her he loved her.
"Same here." Elita said softly.
Optimus smiled as she rested her helm back down on his shoulder plate. Optimus rested a light kiss on the top of her helm, then resting his cheek on her helm, causing her to smile brightly.
"-Optimus! You there?-" Ratchet boomed over the com-link.
Optimus sighed and pressed the com-link button."What is it, Ratchet?" Optimus sighed into the link. "-Wave had some sort of ingury! Came down here quick!-" Ratchet barked. Optimus was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm on my way." They turned of the link. "What is it?" Elita asked. "Somethings wrong with Wave," he said."We need to get down to the medic-bay." Elita nodded and the stood up.
But, before they even opened the door that lead inside, Elita placed a gentle kiss his cheek. Optimus blinked but then grinned.
Then they left.
*Meanwhile, just outside the base, Blurr & Candy*
Blurr's POV
Me and Candy walked towards the base, her small hand twined with mine. It was the first time I everwent this slow. Noah was trotting behind us, being silent. I glanced down at Candy; she seemed like a normal human femme... I shook my helm, Ever since Candy had told me about the strange Ironoide dream, I've been slightly paranoid with the whole thing. I shook my helm again as we walked.
"Wow," Candy said. "Five minutes and you haven't sped off!"
I rolled my optics at her, just making her giggle. I smirked, getting a comeback. "And YOU haven't picked up her cell phone in five minutes! Its a record!" Candy glared at me and sticked her tongue out. I smirked and sticked out my glossa out at her.
Candy took back her tongue and I took back my glossa. Noah ran in front of us with a bark, well, it was mostly at me. I knew what he wanted:
He wanted to race.
"You wanna race, boy?" I ask, even though I knew the answer. Noah barked in response, practically jumping now. I smiled. "Sorry, boy," I say, frowning. "Not today." Noah stopped and continued to walk normally, looking a bit saddened. Suddenly, I felt Candy's hand get tighter on mine. Almost hurt. I glanced down and found Candy almost leaning on me for support; her face plate was red, water droplets coming down her face, clutching the sides of her head. She looked she was in pain from the sounds of her groaning. I blinked. "Candy," I say, grabbing her attention. I stopped in our tracks and so did Noah. Noah trotted over to us, whimpering. "What's wrong?" I ask. Candy's breathing was getting slow and uneasy. I was worried. "I...I don't feel good..." her voice trailed off. Candy's grip on my hand fell as she fell to her knees, clutching her head in agony. "Candy!" I exclaim. Noah barks in a panic as she falls. She lied on her sides, she looked like she had what humans call a 'fever'.
Candy groaned as her face went from red to white. "CANDY!" I yell.
Candy gave me one last look before she went limp.
"CANDY!"
Flashback Wave's POV
It was a normal day when the scientists came.
Me and Luna, as Ironoide sparklings, were just playing with our toys in the living room, StarGazer watching us with her beautiful smile. My dad, DG and mom were out in the town, leaving me, Luna, Hammerhead and StarGazer to look after the house. I sighed as Luna's doll some what walk-looked more like a waddle to me-to mine. Luna smiled. I just grinned back. This was getting kinda boring for me. I sighed again and set my doll down.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked.
I glanced up at her. "Nothing," I say. Luna gave me one of her 'looks' which meant I better tell her or I'd better get used to sleeping with someone talking to me. I sigh. "Just kinda bored, that's all." Luna nodded and set her own doll down, too.
"You guys wanna do something else?" StarGazer asked in a sweet voice. Me and my twin nodded. StarCazer smiled again and got up. "I'll go find something for you guys to do." She told us and left. I sighed once again and fiddled with my pigtails. Luna made a laughing sound and glanced down behind her. Suddenly, an Ironoide dog came rushing from the hall-way, running into me. He pinned me down and licked my cheek. I laughed as he did. "Jet-X!" Luna laughed. Jet-X just continued to lick me thoughtfully. "Get off...of me...you...silly Irondog!" I said, through laughs. Jet-X got off of me. Jet-X was brown, white and red energy Irondog with glowing orange eyes. I sat up and gave him a cocky grin.
I turned to Luna. "Warn me next time, will ya?" I say sarcastically. Luna made a face, rolling her eyes. Luna was telepathic; her special power. Every Ironoide had a special power of their own. Mine was flying.
I patted Jet-X's head softly while he just sat there, his glossa hanging out. I shook my head and looked up at Luna...her face was fear. "Luna," I say. Her eyes were fixed on the door. "What do you see?"
"Bad people," she said. "Bad people...are coming."
"Here?" I ask
"Yes."
"Why?"
"For you."
BAM!
The door burst open when someone kicked it open.
Me and Luna stood up, me picking up Jet-X and holding him close to my chest. He was whimpering. Me and Luna huddled together as Ironoide mechs barched into our home. A yellow and green guy seemed to be the leader of them all.
"What's going on?" StarGazer asked.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw the men. She was holding Wrench 'bridal style' and Hammerhead was behind her. Hammerhead hid behind her in fear of the mechs. Me and Luna ran to StarGazer, hugging her legs.
The green and yellow guy smirked and said, "Why, hello, StarGazer,"
StarGazer backed up. "How do you know my name?" she asked. The green and yellow 'noide just smirked and chuckled "I'm Wheelhammer," he said. "I am a scientist." StarGazer blinked. 'Why are you here?" she asked. Wheelhammer laughed. It was a cruel, homourless laugh. 'You see, StarPointer,"
"StarGazer."
"Whatever. Anyway, we are working on a project and we need DNA."
He pointed at me.
StarGazer held me close with her free hand. "And we need her." Wheelhammer said. StarGazer shook her head while snapping, "She's not going anywhere with you."
"Who said I needed permission?"
Wheelhammer snapped his fingers to the other mechs, saying, "Take her." They went over to me and started to grab me. "NO!" StarGazer yelled, using her Ironoide powers to fend them off. She had formed purple orb around her fists and threw one at the mechs. Some had taken the hit and were lying on the ground, others didn't. The others came back for more. StarGazer put Wrench in Hammerhead's arms and started to fight the others off.
Me, Hammerhead, Luna, Jet-X and Wrench ran over to behind the couch. "What's gonna happen?" Luna asked softly. Hammerhead sighed and says, "I don't know, Luna. I just...don't know."
Luna and me exchanged terrified glances with each other.
"AHHHHH!"
StarGazer.
"STARGAZER!"
StarGazer fell to the floor, out cold.
Wheelhammer chuckled over her frozen, out cold, shell. He kicked her aside and walked over to me. Hammerhead held me close to him but Wheelhammer was to strong. "Let go, child." He hissed. "No." Hammerhead hissed back, glaring. He growled and yanked me from Hammerhead's arms. I screamed.
"DON'T TOUCH HER!"
Daddy.
Daddy, Mommy and DG were in the door-way, they had those energy balls around their fists. Daddy looked like he was gonna rip Wheelhammer to shreds. "Put. Her. Down. Now." Daddy said, slowly. "Sorry, Data," Wheelhammer said, holding me tightly. "But she's kind of important to me." Mommy growled. "PUT MY DAUGHTER DOWN NOW!" Mommy yelled. DG looked like he was about to snap something at the scientist but then he noticed StarGazer.
"What did you do to StarGazer? !" DG shouted.
Before Wheelhammer had time to react, Daddy had blasted him with one of his orbs. He shouted in pain and dropped me. But Mommy used her tractor ray power to bring me to her. But, just before, Wheelhammer injected a needle into my arms. I hollowed in pain as it was taken out and I was in Mommy's loving arms. "Oh, sweetie," Mommy said softly. She glared at Wheelhammer as she held me close to her chest. DG was holding StarGazer 'bridal style' and Daddy was standing over the goons. "Guys," Wheelhammer said, "we got what we needed. Time to go." The ones that were still standing smirked and nodded and left.
"HEY!" DG yelled.
But he was ignored as they all left.
But, before he went out the door, Wheelhammer waved a test tube of my DNA in front of us. "Bye bye," he said. And, wth that, he left.
My arm was hurting the pit...
Mommy and Daddy and DG and Luna were saying comforting things but...I felt...
Wrong.
Like I didn't...
Belong in my body.
Wave's optics opened.
"What happened?"
OK, I know this isn't QUITE what you expected but its better then nothing, right? ;) I'm sorry that this took so long to update; this chappie was SUPPOSED to be long so, yeah. In the next chappie, I'll put a little Candy flashback and a better description of when Wave woke up. Oh, and if you're wondering about Jet-X, he's like a dog but bigger and an Ironoide. (I know I first put him in the 'Left in the Dust' OC list but I changed that ) ;)
'Till next time! Review!
