Aqua-star: Transformers Prime

Armada

A/N This chapter will focus mainly on Aqua-star and not the episode.

Aqua-star's POV

So not a lot has happened since the defeat of Nemesis Prime. Optimus went with Fowler to talk to general Bryce. Afterwards, Optimus name was cleared and the military is now back on our side. They are still trying to find the rest of M. E. C. H and figure out what happened with Silas.

Anyway, I am still sparked. Ratchet has narrowed down the time I'll be sparked for to between 18 and 24 Earth months. But no due date yet. I recently got a secret message from Knockout. I didn't tell anyone, but got permission to go on a scouting mission with Bulkhead. Who is covering for me while I go on a solo drive to meet up with Knockout. Not that he knows I am meeting Knockout, he just thinks I needed some alone time away from base.

I reach the coordinates Knockout had given me and smile. It's a waterfall with a lake. It is very beautiful. "I didn't know if you'd be able to get away" he states. I transform and launch myself into his arms. Hugging him tightly. "I've missed you, my sweet star" he whispers in my audio receptors.

"I've missed you Knockout" I admit. "Especially at the appointments" I state.

"How is our sparkling?" he asks me curious.

"Growing well, Ratchet thinks he or she will be ready to enter the world in 18 to 24 Earth months" I state.

"Are you getting enough energon?" he asks me.

"Yes, but I feel guilty about it. We are low and the others are on rations. I know I have to take more as the sparkling grows. But I hate taking from the others" I tell him.

"Good thing, I brought a gift then" he states and gestures to about dozen containers of energon. "I've been stalk piling it for you, I know the autobots are low on resources and I don't want you to be guilted into leaving them. Or risk you not getting enough" he explains.

"Thank you" I say and kiss his cheek."So what does Megatron think you're doing?" I ask him curious.

"Over seeing the collection of packaged energon" he states with a shrug. "Which doesn't give us a lot of time. Maybe half an hour" he tells me.

"I'll take whatever time I can get" I tell him. "How about a race around the lake?" I suggest.

"You'll lose" he tells me. I smirk and transform. The take off. "Hey, we hadn't counted down!" he yells. He transforms and speeds after me. The race ended in a tie. "You cheated" he pouts.

"We made no rules" I remind him.

"How about a dip?" he asks and I back away from him. I squeal and he snatches me, then tosses me into the lake. I smirk and stay under. "Star!" he calls. "Star!" he yells and enters the water. I grab his pede and trip him. He squeals as he lands in the water. I come up laughing. "That wasn't funny" he complains.

"It was a little funny" I tell him and splash him. We have a splash war. Which I won.

"I have to go" he tells me sadly.

"Ok" I say and hug him. We kiss each other gently and he leaves. I sigh and try to contact Bulkhead, but no luck. Strange. So I call base and Bumblebee helps me take the energon back. Of course they all had questions. But I was saved by weird signals Ratchet detected near where they had last encountered Airachnid. Optimus went to investigate with Arcee and Bumblebee.

"So where exactly did you get this energon?" Ratchet asks me as we take it to the storage room.

"Knockout" I admit sheepishly.

"And where was Bulkhead during this encounter?" he asks me.

"Scouting the energon signal you'd picked up, he didn't know I was meeting Knockout" I state.

"I understand he is the sire of your sparkling Aqua-star, but he is still a decepticon. You should not meet up with him alone" he tells me.

"I trust him with my life Ratchet, my life and that of my sparkling" I tell him. "I promise to tell you next time" I assure him. As we return to the control room. No word from the others yet or Bulkhead. So we can only wait and pray.

(Time skip)

Arcee, Bumblebee and Optimus return alive. With Airachnid trapped in a stasis pod. But still no Bulkhead, I am really starting to worry about him. "Stasis. She deserves worse" Ratchet states.

"I intended worse more times than you know" Arcee tells him. I place servo on her shoulder, giving her a proud smile.

"You are stronger for the choice you made" Optimus tells her.

"And I am proud of you" I tell her. Suddenly we hear Bulkhead's car horn. "Thank Primus" I say as we turn to see him drive into base. He transforms.

"Guys, you are not gonna believe the day I had" he states. Then notices Airachnid in the stasis pod. "Oh, you too, huh?" he asks.

"It has been a good day for the autobots. Aqua-star found some energon and we have stopped a dangerous enemy" Optimus states. "Though Megatron now has a hive of insecticons on his side" he adds.

"True, but two out of three victories isn't bad" I tell him.

"Make that three our of four" Bulkhead tells us. "I ended up the cons warship and managed to disable it" he states.

"Whoa!" Bee whirls.

"Way to go Bulkhead" I cheer.

"Do you have the ships current location?" Optimus asks.

"Yeah" Bulkhead says and tells us. Ratchet brings up on screen. This would be a perfect moment to launch an attack on the cons with their ship down. But we will have to plan is carefully and I doubt I'd be allowed to go on the mission.
