Ironhides sparkling [Wattys 2017]

Death

Peace, Warmth and Comfort were the first things I felt. A soft blue light surrounded me. I slowly get up and look around.

"Sam? Dad?" I call out. "Where am I!" My voice echoes as I turn in a circle. My gaze lands on a figure. Instinctively I take a stance.

"Who are you!" I growl. The figure walks forward and I could soon tell it was a female.

The femm was pink and black with a kind gaze in her optics. Then it hits me. My hands fall and I gasp. "Mum?" I ask.

The femm nods. I watch as mum shrinks down to my size. I run into her arms and hug her tightly tears streaming down our faces.

"Oh baby. I'm so proud of you." Mum says. "But I failed mum. I'm dead." I say. Mum shakes her head. "No. Your in between." Mum says.

A globe appears as I see my body. I watch as dad's holoform collapses beside me and takes me into his arms.

"Breeze. Breeze. Please. Don't leave me. I can't lose you to. Not again. Your all. I have left." Tears streamed down dad's face

as uncle ratchet pills him back. He yells and struggles fighting in his grip. " I have go back!" I shout. Mum places a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes. But there are some bits who wish to talk to you." Mum says. I turn as seven bots appear. "The seven primes." I say.

"Yes child." One prime says. "You have fought for your sire and family bravely." Another primes says.

"When you return you will not be human. You will be returned to your original body." A female prime says.

"Will I still be able to turn human?" I ask. "Yes youngling. There is another topic. Megatron." The first prime says.

My heart falls. "Is he really my sparkmate?" I ask.  "Yes youngling." The female prime says. "He is changing.

When the battle is over you must seek him out. He will be injured gravely. This will prevent him from attacking you.

You will need to help him. This will strengthen the bond between the two of you." The third prime says. "I understand." I say.

"Very good. It is time for you to go back." The female prime says. I nod and turn to mum before hugging her tightly.

"Tell your sire. That I always with him." Mum says before a blinding light fills me. Then my eyes shoot open.

I could hear my bones snapping and splintering and dad's gasp. I scream in pain before my vision clears.

I slowly sit up and dad is instantly by my side. Metal against metal can be heard as dad hugs me tightly.

"Breeze. Don't ever do that to me again." Dad cries. I nod before looking down at myself. "Whoa." I whisper.

I turn in time to see Sam plunge the matrix into optimus's chest. Optimus's eyes shoot open and he shoots up coughing.

Then blackness consumes me once more.
