Silverspeed's POV
"Sides..."
I looked back to him,and his cobalt optics slowly faded.
Tears slowly rippled down my faceplates,and my visor darkened black as I stared down limply.
The Decepticon cackled,
"Thanks for that,I'll be sure to return the favor--by killing you two,"
My optics narrowed into slits.
My visor a bright blue,now turned a dark shade of red.
"I'll kill you--I'll kill you,I'll kill you,"I raised my voice,
dragging my sword across the sand in a thin line behind me.
He gasped slightly,his frame tensing.
I bared my denta,a grim expression on my face as with each pede step I neared my revenge.
My systems were going off inside my helm,but I didn't care.
I was thinking irrationally,but I shook the feeling off.
There was one target in my mind,and I was going to hit it.
The Decepticon started to shift backwards,seemingly scared out of his mind.
Turning around he sprinted the other dierection,transforming into a jet.
"You're not getting away that easily,"I smirked,jumping into flight.
My power rose,but it felt different-It felt evil.
"What? I'm not like that--I know you're not princess--I'd lay down my life for you.."
Thoughts rushed past my mind,and I hesitated to shoot the con,
whom was rolling and dodging out of the way to avoid being shot down.
Then the memory of Sides enveloped my processor,and my engine roared in hatred.
My cooling fans kicked in trying to cool myself down,but I brushed past it and took the shot.
The con spiraled downwards,smoke trailing behind it.
I landed shaking the ground,showing no facial expression.
It coughed up energon,holding its chest for dear life.
"You think this is the end of all your problems,of your suffering?
No.This is the learning of what war truly is,"
His optics were locked on mine as his life soon gave out,and I gritted my denta as I was happy of his existence.
I was happy that somebot was dead.This wasn't the code of an Autobot,that's not what who we are.
But it felt so good,like I needed more..
Was this somehow connected to the crystal that was given to me by Primus?Would I turn evil?
I couldn't let this power be in the hands of the Decpeticons,the power to change the tide of the war...
Stuck in my thoughts,I didn't hear the approaching pede steps coming ever closer.
Yet,I wouldn't have cared anyways.At this point,I don't care.
"Silverspeed?"Sunstreaker said cautiously,taking smaller steps through the sand.
I probably did look kind of like I was mental;my posture was leant over,my sword hanging loosely in my grasp.
My breathing was heavy,and I glanced at Sunny.
"Silverspeed,are you okay?"He asked,quickly coming over to me when he saw my tear stained faceplates.
"What's wrong,"He asked,confusion lacing his voice.
When I gave no answer,he gently wiped the tears from my faceplates with a digit.
My optics widened slightly from my visor not being there,and my visor slid down to cover my optics.
Sunstreaker looked slightly taken aback by this,but his concern overlapped that.
"It's all my fault,"I whimpered.
"Silver,look at me-what is going on?"He asked,raising my helm up to eye level.
"Don't you see? He's dead,he's gone,"I choked out hoarsely.
My voice ached,"How are you even alive,"I said painfully,desperation hinting at my voice.
Sunstreaker then looked at the lifeless body of Sides, and Sunny's mouth opened.
His optics hardened for a moment,his lips spread into a thin line.
He stood up,and walked over to where Sides lay.
I followed Sunstreaker slowly,picking myself up from my knelt position.
Sunstreaker's neon optics returned to normal,and he looked to me.
"He would've died for you anyways,"He said distantly.
"What..?"I trailed,walking next to him.
"And I would too,"He stopped moving,and I stared back at him pitifully.
"No,I forced him to stop and look away,I let the Decepticon get the chance to kill Sides..."
"Shh,"Sunstreaker hushed me from continuing,and wrapped me in a light hug.
Alright,I get it-you still care about your paint job..or maybe he didn't want to squeeze my insides,who knows...
My sight was beginning to get blurry,and I breathed out shakily.
"But,I thought if one of you dies-"
-"We both do,"Sunstreaker ended my sentence.
"So,then he's still alive?"I questioned with enthusiasm,my spark rate picking up.
"He's dead,it's just he hasn't gone to the Well of Allsparks,"Sunny explained,tilting his head low.
They're both running out of time,I need to do something.Then,something came to mind.
"We have time..."I trailed.
"Time for what?Nothing can save him,not even Optimus,"Sunny said in defeat.
I needed to get Sunstreaker away,he'd stop me.
Stop me from reviving Sideswipe.
Truthfully,I've never done something as big as reviving a bot,but I had to.
"Just go find the others,"I stated,not taking a glance at him.
"What? No,"Sunstreaker said unmoving.
"Sunstreaker..."I started.
"No,I'm-"
-"Please,"
Sunstreaker stared into my glowing visor,laid behind are optics full of every emotion-mixed into a single color..
He hesitated,gritting his denta as he simply growled out,"Fine,"
I knew he didn't like it,but I needed it to happen.
Suddenly,wheels formed under Sunstreaker's pedes,and I gasped.
"How-Bu-WHAT?"I exclaimed,pointing at his wheels.
"Well,just so happens my wheels can also transform,"He snickered.
My processor just exploded.
For some reason,Sunstreaker all of a sudden has wheels on his feet?
I'm fairly sure I saw no indication whatsoever that Sunny could even do that.
Sides can't do that,how'd he do that!?
"I just made some modifications to myself,Ratchet helped out too,"He muttered out the last bit.
I then just noticed...I said that stuff out loud..
Well,you could definitely see the similarities in them both now.
The only real obvious difference was their paint color.
Gold and Silver-and yes their faces are also different.
I shook my helm,stop worrying about such small things.
Sunstreaker skated off towards the Autobots signal,and I waited for him to get out of optic-sight.
We stared at each other for a moment,and he had in a look that I couldn't decipher.
I turned back to Sides,and I sighed.
"Life's not fair..but at least I can give you another free spin.."
I closed my optics,kneeling down before Sideswipe.
Shakily,I breathed out as a energon dribbled down from the Decpeticon..
I placed a servo on his spark,and blue whisps swirled around my servo.
Starting to feel strange,I looked down to my spark.
I touched it with my other servo,and I grunted in pain.
It drained me,more so than just using my powers...
The small whisps slowly entered into Sides spark,and I gripped my own.
It almost felt as if I was giving my life-for him...
I still hung on,focusing all my strength.
"I won't let you die,I cant,"I gritted my denta,pushing through the fatigue that was plaguing my entire frame.
Now,the usual blue aura that stayed around me in 'power mode'--was now formed around Sideswipe.
It all finally gathered into his spark,and I sighed in relief.
I stood back up,staring at the figure of Sideswipe,although it was blurry,and I didn't know why.
Suddenly,I felt extremely dizzy,and I fell back down to my knees shakily.
I fell forward,falling into darkness.
Yet,I didn't stop falling,and the empty feeling had yet to leave.
_______________________________________________________
I looked around,and then I noticed I was standing up.
Searching for anything other than complete darkness,I was sorely disappointed.
Yet,I still felt that I had been here before,I just couldn't put a digit on it..
''Right you are young one,"
'Huh,I'm here again? But...why? Unless-I'm,'
"Dead,yes you are,"Primus said,the blue light shining once again in the darkness.
'Wait,I can't be here!I have people who need me-"
"Silverspeed,you cannot avoid death,and you decided to take your-"
'But,I didn't know...'I trailed.
Primus made a sound similar to a sigh,and took a breath.
"Truly,you are not dead yet,you are in limbo.
The place before you reach the Well Of Allsparks..
The fact that Sideswipe himself was in the same predicament is quite ironic-however I didn't not speak to him like you,"He spoke.
"You are my chosen one,and I sensed greatness to come from you--and I still do."
'So,will I always come back here after I die?'I questioned,
thinking of he last time I was brought here.
"No,this is the last time I will be able to reach you like this.The next time you die,
I can not save you..
I looked down into the dark space around me,and the blue light that gleamed light rays.
"Hone your powers,they will eventually become natural and appear on instinct.."
I squinted my optics,staring at the being of Primus....
"Remember this,you have a path destined for you ahead,and you must fulfill it-for the sake of all transformer kind...
A bright light flashed before me,and I gasped for air,sitting up straight.
"Silverspeed?!"Sides exclaimed,his mouth agape.
"Primus,you're going to blow my audio receptors,"I muttered.
"Oh..I though I lost you,"Sides muffled as he embraced me in a hug.
I tensed at first,but relaxed as I nuzzled into his shoulder.
I looked up,and Sunstreaker was standing there with his arms crossed.
He sighed,"I knew I shouldn't have left you here,I thought you died Silverspeed,"
"What do you think you were doing anyways? Sacrificing yourself for me,"
Sides pulled me away from him so he could glare at me.
"What was I supposed to do,let you die?"I said sarcastically.
"Yes,"They both said in chorus.
"Well ok,next time you die I'll wave goodbye then,"I scoffed,imitating Sunstreaker's pose.
"We're just glad you're okay,"Sunstreaker said for the both of them.
"Hey,Silverspeed?"Another voice called.It was Jolt,and he ran over to us.
He panted,putting his servos on his knees.
"Primus you three,we were looking everywhere for you,thought you got botnapped or something,"Jolt huffed.
"Let's keep this between us,okay?"Sides whispered.
"Fine fine,lets just catch up with the rest of the bots,"I waved at him.
-
"Silverspeed,"I heard a voice growl from behind me.
I yelped as I was pulled away,but luckily it was only a hug.
"Jazz,"I rolled my optics.
"Hiya lil' lady,how was the trip?"He emphasized.
"Uh,heh-heh,"I stalled nervously.
"Don't you think that you'll be gettin' off doin' these things,"Jazz said playfully.
"Mhm,yep,"I nodded my head,praying that he would let me down.
Thankfully he let go,and his visor brightened as he chuckled when I carefully ran away with the others.
We made small talk,and even got an answer from Prowl as I chattered his audio receptors off,
even if it was just a "Go away," I suppose Optimus was more important than myself.
Someone then tapped my shoulder,and I looked behind me.
No one was there,so I shrugged it off.
Another tap.
My optics narrowed,and I swiftly grabbed the collar of the bot trying to nudge my temper.
"Hey hey,it was only a joke!"Skids raised his servos in surrender.
Mudflap was huddled behind him,sending a small wave.
My faceplates dulled in annoyance,and I dumped him onto his twin.
"Now that's just rude..."
______________________________________________________
It's been several days now since then,and it's been quite troublesome.
I've been feeling this strange presence in my helm,and it's been giving me a headache 24/7.
I feel dizzy all the time,spark beating erratically,just like-just like I was bonded.."
My optics widened in fear,and I took my helm in my servos as to how this could have happened.
"By reviving Sides,I must have bonded with him somehow!"I gasped in realization.
No wonder I was feeling someone else's thoughts,Jazz usually keeps his thoughts 'cool'.
Wandering to Sides and Sunny's quarters,which was next door,I knocked quickly.
"Ya,"He muttered,holding his helm as he opened his door.
His optics widened slightly at the sight of me,but he didn't say anything.
"Alright,I think I have to tell you something.."
-
"Wait,were bonded!"
"Yes we're bonded,"I snapped at Sunny.
"Well,I don't think it's that bad,"Sides looked at me slyly.
"Oh shut up,"
"You know you love me,"He purred.
My faceplates were heating up,and my visor only covered my optics.
I coughed,"Alright Sides,are you feeling okay,what's your designation?"I said while waving a servo in front of his face.
"Silverspeed,I'm sorry that-"Sunstreaker started,changing the subject to the bond.
"No no-no,I'm fine,I was just wondering how you would take it,and everything,"I quickly said.
"Well,of course you know he's obviously warmed up you,"Sunstreaker said as he glanced over to Sides.
"And yes,I believe you are tolerable,"He huffed.
"Hey,"I pointed out sorely.
"Trust me,even though I'm somehow this idiots brother-"He stopped.
"-I heard that!!"Sides peeked back into his hab suite where Sunny was residing.
"We are complete opposites,"Sunny said.
"Complete,"He emphasized.
"Alright,we get it,"Sides said,putting an arm on the door.
"Anyways,back to the point,"I got back to the point.
"We both care for you,and-" "Say it,say it!"Sides provoked him.
"Love,"He spat,while Sides cracked up a wide grin.I tilted my helm in confusion,raising a ridge.
"Sunny never says anything like this to nobody,not even his brother dearest,"Sides smirked.
Sunstreaker huffed,and continued,"We would gladly bond with you,even if we already are bonded,"Sunstreaker said.
"I wouldn't have it any other way,"I said sarcastically,laughing lightly.
"So,since we're bonded..."Sides trailed with a devious grin.
"Shush,"I groaned,facepalming in embarrassment.
" 'Speedy,who you shushin' now?"I jumped and turned,Jazz waiting there with his arms and ankles crossed.
"No one!" I was quick to say,but mentally kicked myself at the same time.
"Okay,"He chuckled,flashing me a smile.
I huffed and crossed my arms.
He stalked off,heading towards his own hab suite.
'Wow...'I thought rudely.
"Well,I guess now I can do this,"Sides remarked,moving ever closer to me.
I could feel his warm breath as he put an arm around my waist and pulled me into a kiss.
That's right,kiss.
Why do I talk to myself,anyways?
No ones going to hear it..(Hmm..)
::Really?::Sunny pushed me gently through the bond.
::Hey,you only need to peek in to my thoughts when you need to::I huffed.
Sunny just rolled his optics as Sides continued to swoon me.
(Ok-ok I'm not going to get very deep into this-
for my own sake..because then I would die,so you can use your imagination ;)
"Well,guess I get to say the magic word too,right?"I snickered.
"What was that?"Jolt said behind a corner,looking out curiously.
"NOTHING!"
And ta-da! The Final Chapter!!
Its done after forever it seems!
Sunny didn't much of the action,but trust me,he will-In the Second Round!
Yes,I suppose this will be a series now.
But,Ill be skipping the Dark Of The Moon,and fast forwarding to the Age Of Extinction.
Ok,just wanted to clarify .-.
Including that,I'll be editing these somewhat to fit the format..
I won't be working on it for awhile,I've been neglecting my other stories to finish this one,
and I'll be catching up on those for now.
Cya Later,
