DARKNESS RISING: kiki56
Chapter 6
They all stood in the rocky field, and looked up at the Lord of the Decepticons while Star looked at the crystal in his hand. "Dark energon" she thought, and Optimus came to stand beside her.
"Optimus, (they all look up to see Megatron's smiling faceplates to see a new Bot) been well? I see you have brought your trusty watch dog. Surely he should be rusting in a scrap yard by now and I see you've brought a new recruit for my army." Megatron said with a snarl. "I would rather die than join your army Megatron!" said Star, and she pulled out a long red and orange sword. The lord of the Decepticons laughed. Ratchet rolled his neck, and popped his shoulder joints. "Why don't you invite him down here for a check? Then we'll see who should be rusting in a scrap yard" he said while Starlight was trying to hold back her laughter. "Don't try and act tough Doc, it's not you" said Star and Ratchet shrugged his shoulders. "Worth a shot" said Ratchet and stepped back. Optimus walked in front of the group, and narrowed his optics in fury. "I know why you're here Megatron" said Optimus in his even tone, showing no emotion.
(How he does that, I have no idea!)
"Hardly a surprise Optimus, after all, you and I have been at this for a long time. And your time has come to an end." Said Megatron and he hurled the crystal to the ground. It sunk into the ground, and made spider web fissures in the ground. It spread all over the ground, and stopped at Starlight's feet. She stepped back in order not to be sucked into the ground. Ratchet had to step back in shock as Optimus looked up in horror. "RISE MT ARMY!" Megatron said while his optics glowed purple. The ground shook, and large pieces of twisted metal, and menacing purple eyes. "By the AL spark" Ratchet said in shock. "I was going to call him something else, but my dad's present" said Star holding her sword. "BEHOLD THE POWER OF DARK ENERGON!" he yelled and Optimus looked disgusted. "Megatron would stoop so low, as to desecrate the graves of our fallen ancestors, and his own. I'll rip out his spark for this" said Star. "Not even the dead are free from his war mongering." Said Optimus and Starlight glowed. Her sword glowed and fire came from around it in blue and red flames. "At last, symbiosis, I can feel it. I have complete control over my army, now DESTROY THEM!" he yelled and the terricons advanced. Optimus drew his twin ion cannons, and Starlight started cutting down the terricons. "Anyone want zombie pie? Cause I'm slicing up some good pieces over here" said Star as her sword sliced through the cons like a hot knife through butter. Ratchet was too busy slicing down the cons to notice her little joke, and Optimus was making a path to get to Megatron. She put her sword away, and started to bring out her large wings. She flew up to Megatron, and floated in front of him. She activated her blasters, and aimed for his head. She fired, but he blocked with his sword. She activated her sword, and she started duking it out with the lord of the decepticons. "You're surprisingly well trained for a femme. Who is your creator?" asked Megatron blocking her blows. "That is, none, of, your, business!" she yelled and failed to notice his other sword, and he slashed her across the midsection and she fell down the cliff side. Once the Terricons were dealt with, Optimus ran to his daughter, and Ratchet opened the ground bridge from his remote. Megatron transformed and flew away as to not get caught by Optimus. He may be ruthless, but he's not stupid enough to mess with Optimus when the time isn't right.
"Starlight, stay with me kid" said Ratchet kneeling beside her as she was lying in Optimus' arms. "Dad, I can't feel my legs" said Star, and once the doc scanned her, he cursed under his breath. "We need to get her into the med bay, and fast" said Ratchet and they walked through the bridge, while the doc hurried to the med bay with Optimus.
With Bulkhead and Miko
The vehicons started shooting at the kids that were out in the open, and as they tried to evade them, Raf was unfortunately knocked down. Bulkhead drove up in his vehicle form and opened the passenger door. "GET IN NOW!" he said and the children climbed in. "thanks bulkhead" said Raf, and Jack sat in the driver's seat. "Yeah thanks" said Jack. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he said a little peeved off. "We were worried about Miko, have you seen her?" Jack asked and said girl popped up from the backseat. "What's she look like?" asked Miko while scarring the two boys, and they stared at her like she was crazy. Bulkhead drives behind a rock while blaster fire goes on behind the rock. "Everyone out! And this time stay here, Please?" asked Bulkhead, and the two boys clambered out. Bulkhead drove top speed towards the cliff face, and transformed while latching onto the rocks. He started climbing, and finally jumped to catch onto the spike sticking out from the ship. A vehicon ran over, and peered over the edge right before Bulkhead pulled him down, and climbed over the edge. He ran, activated his wrecking ball, and punched one vehicon offline. Vehicons fired; he used the off lined con in front of him as a shield while his ion cannon fired at the other con. It missed a few times, but then got him in the head and pushed him back. It kept firing at Bulkhead until he body slammed him. He looked at the kids behind the rock, and noticed a person missing: Miko. "Where's Miko?" asked Bulkhead and he heard a banging on the inside of his armor. He opened his chest-plates, and saw Miko climb out of it. "Miko?" "I heaved on your floor mats, sorry" said Miko and he helped her climb out of the chest cavity. Once she was out, the plates moved back into place. He put her on the floor, and she sat on her butt. "Remind me never to do that again" said Miko and stood up. He was about to answer when he was tackled to the other side of Miko. Bulk threw him off, and punched him in the face with his wrecking ball. He looked up from off lining the con, and gulped. There was a trio of cons rising up from behind Miko on a lift, and when she turned around, she looked terrified. The cons were shot at when one of them reached for her. She was thrown forward on impact, and several cons appeared from behind her. Bulkhead picked up a piece of metal and threw it at the cons which acted as a Frisbee. Miko dodged it, and when he reached down for her, she sat on his hand and he lifted her up to his level. Several other shots were fired, and bulkhead covered her with his other hand. He spotted the open hatch, and ran for it. He slipped in, and closed the hatch behind him.
Raf and Jack stood behind the rock, and looked at each other. "Think they forgot about us?" asked Raf, and two massive shadows came over them. Guns charged, and it was then that they knew that they were caught.
Inside the nemesis
Bulk and Miko ran down the hallways and ran into the cons again. He slid Miko between the cons, and slammed the cons into the walls. When she slid to a stop, she rubbed her sore butt, and felt woozy again. "I'm gonna heave again" said Miko and Bulkhead scooped her up again.
In another part of the ship, two vehicons carried the two boys, and walked down the corridors. "Bring them to the Brig; Commander Star-scream said that's where he's keeping the other human and two Autobots." Said one con, and Jack looked at Raf. Bumble-bee came racing in, and took them out while side sweeping them and Arcee jumped over the fallen cons and caught the boys in her hands.
She set them down, and Jack smiled at his partner. Raf ran over to Bumble-bee, and yelled "Bee!" and Bumble-bee kneeled down to him. –What are you doing here Raf? - Bumblebee asked and Raf froze. "Appreciate clearing the front door for us, but storming the decepticon warship was not on the activities list" Arcee said while trying to sound humored. "Tell me about it. By the way, their keeping fowler, and two Autobots in the brig" said Jack and Arcee nodded. "Thanks." She said and she activated her cannons.
She walked to the corner and pointed the gun around the corner while saying "Friendly!" and a deep voice said "hello!" and she saw Bulkhead. "Brought the humans huh?" asked Arcee and Bulkhead sighed, "You try getting them to stay behind" he said, and they smiled. "Let's just get fowler, and the two bots, and get out of here." Said Arcee and they walked down the corridor.
In the brig
Fowler hung from the ceiling while two femmes hung on the back wall hidden in the shadows and they were just now coming back online. One was a pink and white femme with a fresh cut on her arm, and had an ache in her spark for her spark-mate. The other was purple, and she was out cold again.
Star-scream came up to the human, and he was being electrocuted by the energon prod. "Dear agent Fowler. You do realize that the Autobots have abandoned you. I am the only one you can rely on now, so tell me what I want to know or" he said and brings out the prod again. Fowler shrank away in fear and muttered "no, not again" said Fowler, and the seeker grinned. "They're in a secret government base" "Go on" scream said, and he heard blasters go off behind the door. "Yes?" "In the old steel mill, or was it the carnival's fun house?" said Fowler with a smiled and he could have sworn the seeker glitched. He electrocuted him and turned towards the two guards at the door. "Will someone go find out what's going on out there!" he screamed, and the cons ran out the door.
Nemesis Control room
A vehicon walked to the door because there was knocking and when he opened it, he was shot in the face. Arcee rolled in the room and shot down decepticons left and right before the other bots came in and helped. Once they were all gone, they deactivated their weapons, and Arcee turned around. "Clear" she said and the children ran in. "Wait here." She said and Bee looked freaked. –What! - He asked worried and Arcee looked at him. "Their slowing us down and their easy targets; they'll be alright as long as they stay put." Said Arcee and the two mechs followed her out into the hallway. The door closed and Miko looked ecstatic. "That…was….intense!" she said jumping up and down. "Was!" Raf said a little shocked at her reaction. "Miko, it's your fault that were stuck in this intensity! What were you thinking?" Jack said with a little anger. "I'm sorry, did I ask you to follow me!" yelled Miko. "You wanted us to be a band, and that usually means playing together!" Jack yelled. "Well maybe I decided to go solo." Said Miko crossing her arms stubbornly. "Well I'm sorry if I have some regard for your safety!" jack yelled. "Oh, I'm sorry, is your name Optimus?" asked Miko. Poor Raf was stuck in-between the fighting teens while panic showed on his face. "You can leave my protection to Bulkhead thank you!" "Look, stop it, both of you!" said Raf, and ran to the top step for the cons. "Hey Raf, it's okay" Miko said sitting next to him on the step. "Yeah were gonna be fine" Jack said sitting on the opposite side of him. "Yeah, our bots will come for us" said Miko with calmness in her voice. "How do you know?" asked Raf in a small, innocent voice. They looked at each other and then jack saw a computer screen on the wall. "Hey Raf, what do you make of this?" asked Jack and Raf looked up at the computer. "It looks important" he said when he got down to the bottom of the steps.
Brig
Star-scream looked at the door while blaster fire sounded from outside in the hallway. "Wake up you pathetic lump of flesh!" Scream said with a bit of bite in his words. "Hey screamer, leave the human alone" said a voice, and the seeker looked pleased. "I was wondering when our newest prisoners of war were going to wake up" said Star-scream and walked to the pink femme hanging from the ceiling. "Elita-One, the spark mate to Optimus prime. What shall I do with you?" asked Star-scream and the door opened to reveal a vehicon at the door. "Well?" asked Star-scream and the con fell down. Bulkhead stood behind it, and shot him in the shoulder with his energy cannon. Screamer evidently screamed, and he flew out of the room like the coward he was. Arcee dropped from the ceiling, and froze when she saw 2 femmes she thought she would never see again. "Elita? Chromia?" asked Arcee, and her eldest sister nodded at her with tears.
Bumble-bee was getting Fowler unchained, and Arcee quickly got her sisters free. Evidently, Chromia was awake, and ready to leave. Elita was almost functioning, and she needed a patch. "We'll get you to Ratchet and have you patched up. Can you drive?" asked Arcee and Elita nodded. "You'll like my vehicle" said Elita, and they all drove out of there.
In the hallway
The kids were running from a decepticon and Bulkhead took him out quickly and stopped so the kids could climb on/in their guardians.
In the base before they got there: Med-bay
"Don't worry Starlight, you'll be better soon, I promise" said Optimus and he helped Ratchet get her stable while he searched for the emergency button on her armor. "Keep her awake. I need to keep her conscious or the button won't work" said ratchet looking at the swiftly off lining femm before him. "Star, please, let me see your optics." Said Optimus and she slowly opened her optics to see her dad next to her. "Dad, what happened?" asked Starlight, and Optimus used his mask. "You were injured by Megatron. Why did you go against him alone?" asked Optimus and Starlight smiled. "I couldn't control my suit. I felt so powerless. It must have malfunctioned." Starlight said while Ratchet was walking up to her. "Hit the switch doc. I need to sleep in my own room tonight" said Starlight. "Star, your suit was not malfunctioning. It was reacting to your magic, and your magic took control." Said Ratchet and Starlight noticed his arm. "Doc, what happened to your arm?" asked Starlight with concern in her optics. "Just a scratch, nothing a cast can't fix." Said Ratchet, and hit the switch that would deactivate her armor that rested under the plating on her chin. She glowed, and the armor shrunk to the size of her human self. The armor came off of her body and made the armor appear again on the table. She stepped into her dad's hand, and flinched when she felt something stab her side. "Wow, never knew that would actually hurt" said Bloom and Optimus went to the main control room, and put her next to the couch.
Main Room
She crawled to the couch, and laid on it with a sigh. "That feels good" said Bloom, and she heard the ground bridge open behind her. "I was wondering where everyone went" said Bloom and she sat up with a grunt. "Miko, how could you just run through the ground-bridge? Do you have a death wish!" yelled a voice that sounded like Raf. "Rafael, give her a break. Just be glad she didn't actually get hurt" said Bloom and she stood with a little effort on her part from the couch.
"She must have wanted to see the bots in action. Miko, I do commend you for your curiosity, but use that brain of yours and have some common sense. Did you even realize what could have happened if the Ground bridge closed on you, or the fact that these are robots with pinky fingers bigger than your house, stand almost 40 feet tall, and you thought that running into the heat of battle was a wise idea?" asked Bloom walking to the railing, and waved away the helping hand of her dad. "I wanted to see the cons get scrapped." Said Miko and she took out her phone.
"What you did was completely reckless, and selfish." Said Bloom and she winced while walking down the steps, and watched as Optimus welded the cast on Ratchet's arm. He flexed it when he was done, and then Bumblebee walked over to the human loft, and lowered Agent fowler onto the bed with Bloom's help.
–What happened to you Bloom? You look like you haven't slept in ages- Bee asked and Bloom smiled while tucking the blanket around fowler's body.
"I'll tell you later" said Bloom and she saw Bulkhead walk up and made sure she was okay.
"Bulkhead, you exercised poor judgment in allowing the humans to accompany you." Said Optimus and poor bulkhead looked down in shame. "Sorry Optimus, it won't happen again" said Bulkhead. "Like I believe that" Bloom said with her arms across her chest. "But it wasn't Bulkhead's fault!" "Miko Please!" Bulkhead said trying to silence her. "Ya know, I may not have much experience in fighting decepticons, but I believe you won't have to worry about them if you interrupt my dad again." Said Bloom. "Oh, and what experience do you have?" asked a pink femme from the ground bridge. "I believe we have some new recruits." Said Bloom with her hands on her hips. "Name's Elita-one. I asked you a question human" said Elita and Optimus looked at her with happiness in his optics. "My name isn't human, it's Bloom. I am Optimus' Daughter. Please allow me to explain myself Elita." Said Bloom and she walked over to the femme and Elita met her at the loft edge. "Myself, Ratchet and Optimus engaged an army of the undead, and I was injured. My armor, which allows me to fight without getting squished, is under maintenance, and I have orders from the doc here that I can't fight until I'm all healed and my armor is fixed." Said Bloom and Miko walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder in sympathy. "Your Optimus Prime's daughter? I don't believe that" said Elita, and Bloom rolled up her sleeve to show a glowing Auto-bot insignia on her shoulder. "Believe me now?" Bloom asked and she saw Elita's face freeze in shock. She looked at the red and blue mech, and smiled. "When were you going to tell me that we had a sparkling?" asked Elita in a light and humorous tone. "I thought you were Offline" said Optimus and she smiled. Chromia walked up to the human on the platform and smiled. "Hello Bloom, I am Chromia. I'm sure Arcee has told you all about her amazing big sisters?" she asked with a laugh. "Yes she has. I heard so many good stories about you guys, you were great to her. I'm sorry about your parents though. It must have been hard to grow up and raise your sister in the middle of a war" said Bloom with a sad tone etched in her voice. She shrugged her shoulder plates, and smiled. "We adapted. I believe 'Cee barely even remembers our creators." Said Chromia and Arcee looked down in shame. "Don't feel bad Arcee. I don't even remember my parents after all these years either." Said Bloom and smiled when her mood lightened. While they were talking, Ratchet was looking at something on Miko's phone, and was typing something into the computer.
"I would like to know how you became Optimus' daughter" said Elita with curiosity. Bloom scratched the back of her head, and squeaked when Ratchet scooped her up. "After she is completely healed. Although, you do have to go back to school. "Aww! Do I have to Ratch? I can't stand Vince!" Bloom said with a pout. "That's no way to act starlight Prime" said Optimus and Bloom stopped complaining and started grumbling along the lines of "I can't stand bullies, and I want to punch him in the face" but Ratchet walked away before the big boss bot heard her with his super advanced hearing. Elita walked over to Optimus and smiled. "So, how did she become a prime, and Why is her name Starlight?" asked Elita, and Optimus sighed. "That is a story for another time sweet-spark" said Optimus watching his CMO carry away his whole life.
