Okay guys another long chapter. Sorry for the wait, I've been editing other people's stories. I got an idea yesterday while watching twilight. A cross over between Twilight and Transformers. What do you guys think? Should I do it? Once I get a better plan for going in my head I'll probably do it whether or not you want me to. LOL Let me know what you think of this idea, and my idea for doing a Transformers story without Sam and Mikaela. Leave it in a comment. Happy reading.
Chapter 23
When I woke up I was on a bed that was relatively high up, though not as high as the bed I had been on in the last battle I was in. I looked around the room, hoping to see someone. I saw Ratchet's holoform and knew that I must have been hurt. "What the hell happened?" I asked trying to sit up.
"Don't move youngling. You have been seriously injured. I'm still trying to heal your wounds," Ratchet said coming over to me.
"That bad huh?" I asked.
"You don't remember?" he asked me. I shook my head. I then remembered.
"Where are the triplets? I need to get to them! I need to help them!"
"They were killed Allison," Ratchet said.
"The Primes said I could use the Allspark to help them! Where are they?" Ratchet was trying to keep me in the bed that I was in as I struggled to get up. I tried to use my feet to push his hands away as his hands came up to my waist. "I need to he-" I started but then noticed my legs. They were gone for the most part. The right one, was almost completely gone, the left from below the knee. "Ratchet, what the hell happened?" I asked. I was trying to remember, but with the pain killers that Ratchet had given me I couldn't remember.
"You were hit by Megatron's blast from his cannon. The path of the blast hit your legs; I could not save them Allison. I'm sorry," Ratchet said. I remained silent; I didn't know how to react. How does one react to losing a limb never mind two? As what I was being told sunk in I could feel my breathing accelerate, tears trying to force their way out. As the sobs started to break through my chest Ratchet spoke up, "I'm working on making you some new limbs. I'll have them done soon." With that I broke into full out sobs. I'm not sure how long I sat there sobbing but eventually I ran out of tears, but continued to sob.
I heard a door slide open and heavy foot falls. I couldn't make myself look up; right now I just wanted to grieve the loss of my legs. "I am sorry Allison. I never intended for you to sacrifice so much for us," Optimus said. I felt his hand on my back, his real hand. I shook my head and took hold of his thumb.
"What I did saved my friend's life, therefore no sacrifice was made Optimus," I said taking deep breaths to calm myself. After I had myself pretty much calmed down I looked up at him. I could see some shock on his face, I'm guessing from what I had said.
"Is that how you really see it?" he asked.
"Of course Optimus. I don't have many friends, so there isn't much of anything that I wouldn't do to help them." Suddenly Ironhide and Ratchet came through the doors, carrying the two triplets that had been killed. They set them down on what the Auto bots referred to as berths. I tried to get up so that I could go them.
"What are you doing?" Optimus asked as I slid off the bed I was on so that my hands were on the ground and my left leg was still on the bed. I arched my body so the remnants of my legs hung over my head. I then proceeded to walk on my hands to the berths.
"I'm going to help them," I replied. I reached the berths and started to pull myself up the pole to try to climb on. I made it half way up the pole before I felt a large metal hand grab the back of my shirt. I was placed on the berth and I looked to see who had picked me up. "Thanks Ironhide," I said. I somehow managed to climb onto Arcee's chest. I placed both of my hands flat against her chest and reached inside myself, letting my instincts take over. I was trying to do what the Primes had told me. Trust in myself, use the Allspark. So as I reached into myself I focused on finding the healing part of the Allspark.
As I found it I felt a tingling sensation through my arms. I ignored it and focused on finding the part of the Allspark that I needed. Suddenly I felt Arcee's chest plates move underneath me. I didn't let it break my focus. When I could no longer hold onto the power I let it snap back into me. I waited, hoping that I had succeeded. Doing my best to breathe deeply so I could catch my breath I looked at Arcee. Slowly her optics lit back up. "Ratchet, how is she?" I asked sliding off of Arcee so that I could go to the other triplet, Chromia.
During the battle I hadn't realized that it was her that had been killed. Now I had to bring her back, for Ironhide. "You aren't strong enough for this right now. Wait, let Ratchet make you a new set of limbs," Optimus said.
I turned and glared at him. "I will do this; I have a responsibility to do this. Sam may not realize it, but as the Allspark, there are certain tasks that we must complete. Even if that means putting someone before ourselves." I then pulled myself up onto Chromia's chest, which was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Once I had myself situated I called on the power of the Allspark once more. This time it was harder to find the power and hang on to.
I focused as hard as I could on hanging onto the healing power like my life depended on it. Once I had a death grip on it I pushed out of myself. This time it worked much faster, almost immediately I felt her chest plates moving back into place. I heard the clicking of the metal as things snapped back together. As parts of her shifted under me I focused 100% on my task. I had to do this, for Ironhide. I wasn't sure how spark bonds worked, but I was sure it was a devastating loss to lose your mate.
After several minutes the power slipped out of my grip and I felt it snap back into place somewhere deep within myself. I once again was trying to catch my breath as the chest I was sitting on suddenly moved. I slid off of her as she started to sit up. I laid down between the two Auto bots and fell asleep. I'm not sure how long I was out but when I woke up I was back in my bed, hooked up to an IV. I was now suddenly aware of how thirsty and hungry I was. My stomach rumbled loudly. I looked around the room. There was a glass of water and a pitcher by my bed. I grabbed the glass and greedily began to drink.
"How are you feeling youngling?" Ratchet asked.
I finished my drink and poured myself another. "I've been a lot better, but considering everything, good." I finished my sentence then I was back to jugging water. It had been so long since I had a drink of anything.
"Lennox and Epps went to find you some clean clothes to change into and something to eat. They should be back soon. What do you think of your new legs?"
At Ratchet's question I nearly spilled my water on me and almost choked. I spluttered for a few moments, after I regained my composure I asked, "What?" To answer Ratchet simply removed the blanket from my lap. I stared down at my legs. My left was two shades of silver, a bright yellow, and a bright gold. The metal had come from Sides, Jazz, Bee, and surprisingly Sunny. He and I got along fine, so long as I didn't grease up his paint job, but I never expected him to do this.
The right was more of a rainbow than the left. I could see metal from Ratchet, Optimus, Mudflap, Skids, and Ironhide. I stared in awe, my mouth hanging open. I tried moving them and they responded. "They are wired to your nervous system and attached to the bone. You won't have to worry about them coming off, and don't worry about getting them wet. They are 100% safe," Ratchet said.
I continued to stare, mouth gaping, looking like a cod fish I was sure. After several minutes I found my voice, "Thank you, they're beautiful," I replied. Lennox and Epps appeared a few minutes later, Lennox carrying what looked to be a bowl of fruit, Epps had something resembling clothes in his hands.
"Here kiddo, eat up," Lennox said handing me the bowl. It had pieces of cheese, grapes, banana slices, orange and apple slices, and cherries. I greedily grabbed the bowl muttering thanks before I dove in.
"Slow down femme, you're going to make yourself sick," Ratchet reprimanded. I did my best to slow down but it was hard, I hadn't eaten since Tuesday, at least three days ago now. Lennox and Epps chuckled slightly.
"When is the last time you ate?" Epps asked.
"About 9am Tuesday," I replied before shoving more food into my mouth.
"What?!" Ratchet yelled. "You haven't eaten since Tuesday? Why the slag not femme?"
"Tuesday is the day that all hell broke loose Ratchet. Sam and I had to run from the pretender and Optimus was killed trying to save us. After that Sam and I were on the run, we weren't worried about eating at the moment," I answered. My small bowl of food almost gone now. He growled at me annoyed, but nodded accepting my answer.
"Allison, here are some clean clothes for you. It's just some sweats, but it will probably feel a lot better than what you're wearing," Epps said stepping forward and placing the clothes on my bed.
"Thank you," I replied getting a drink. I quickly finished my meal then went to change my clothes. It took me a moment to find my feet, but as soon as I was steady I found the bathroom. I cleaned up to the best of my ability and then went to find Optimus. On my way to find him I ran into Ironhide.
He knelt down and offered me his hand. I stepped on, grabbing ahold on one of his digits. He stood with me and held me to his chest, placing his other hand on my back. I was at first shocked by the hug from the grumpy older mech, but returned it the best that I could. "Thank you Allison, you saved my spark mate. I am in your debt."
"You're welcome Ironhide and you owe me nothing. Friends do things for each other, and thank you for donating some of your armor to build me a set of new legs."
"No problem femme, it was the least I could do. You risked your life for Optimus and saved Chromia." With that he set me down and left to go be with Chromia. I left to find Optimus, and if I saw any of the other mechs that had given me some of their armor I was sure to thank them. I got the same response from all of them that I had from Ironhide, even Sunny. When I finally found Optimus he was standing next to Sam. I ran to get over to them quickly. I was surprised at how strong my legs were; I could run much faster now.
As I came sliding to a stop by Optimus' feet Optimus spoke to Sam, "Thank you Sam, for saving my life."
Sam looked up at him, "You're welcome. Thank you for believing in me." No one had realized I was there yet so I decided to pounce on Sam.
As my chest collided with his back I yelled, "Got'cha ya!"
"Oh my god Allison!" Sam screamed as I laughed. I pulled myself up off the floor and then pulled Sam to his feet.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist. I've been in the med bay, I don't know how long," I said smiling. I then turned to Optimus, "Thank you, for donating some of your armor."
"You're welcome Allison, it's the least I could do since you saved my life and lost your legs in the process." I gave a small smile, I knew he felt bad about what had happened to me but I blamed Megatron, not the Auto bots.
