Decepticons Rising

Chapter 27

“Diamond come on out! Got someone I want you to meet!” I looked around as the sun began to set and saw this gorgeous bot walk out of the shadows. Her paint was white with a glossy coat over it, her optics were of the prettiest light blue. “Lilac this is Diamond! She was one of the bots who help me into the gladiators, her brother was one before he died of a aggressive gladiator.” she smiled at me and walked up, I could instantly tell from her build that she was an Aston Martin. “So your the femme who stole Strider away, I gotta say you got one good mech.” I felt a twinge of protectiveness go through my spark and I prayed to Primus that Strider wouldn't notice. “Diamond and I are going to race and I have never ever won a race against her. She is that fast.” I looked at her and she smiled, her smile was perfect and I felt a twinge of jealousy go through my spark and again I prayed that Strider wouldn't notice. I watched them transform and I was correct, she was an Aston Martin, they took off down the track and eventually I couldn't see them. Then I heard something that broke my spark over Striders com, I heard them screech to a stop and start talking. “So, I want to tell you something that I wanted to tell you for weeks now.” Getting very suspicious I transformed into a predacon and listened in more even though I know I shouldn't. “C'mon she won't know, we are far enough from the track…” That definitely sounded bad! I opened my side of the bond and instantly noticed that his spark was racing quickly. I flew off quietly and decided to watch them, when I was directly above them I saw Diamond and Strider kissing. My spark was now in shards, I trusted Strider with my spark and he does this!! Accidently I whined and Strider looked up at me stepping away from Diamond, I instantly flew away tears streaming down my faceplates. “Lilac!” I closed off the bond between Strider and started flying to the Revenge and to my father's quarters instinctively. I transformed and knocked on the door unable to control my sobs and tears as I waited, the door opened fairly quickly and my father allowed me into his quarters without question. “What happened lilac? What's wrong?” I continued crying unable to stop hugging my father trying hide in his protective arms as he hugged me. That's when my com went off at the wrong moment and wrong place. “Lilac! It's not what you think!” My father growled glaring at me, his optics slowly turning purple. “What happened Lilac..?” I sniffed wiping the tears from my optics, if I told him Strider kissed another femme my father would kill him but if I lied and found out he would do the same. “i…  went with Strider to a street race because he said he would help me relax and… when the two left the vision of the track I heard…. I heard something and left to see what was going on and… STRIDER WAS KISSING ANOTHER FEMME!!!” I started sobbing uncontrollably again and my father hugged me not instantly leaving to go kill Strider which surprised me a bit. “Sweet Spark she kissed me not the other way around I promise you! I only have a spark for you!” I sniffed and looked at my father, his optics were filled with kindness which is unusual. “Go talk to Strider… I don't want to kill him yet, he is very valuable to our cause.” I sighed and nodded wiping the tears away from my optics, I then walked out of the quarters and to my own seeing Strider waiting for me at my door. “Lilac! I.” I shut him up before he finished and allowed him into my quarters closing the door behind me. “Lilac, I promise she kissed me not the other way around!” I sat on my berth while he took a step forward with pain and worry in his optics tears pricking the sides. “Lilac… please, believe me only you are the one my spark yearns for.” The tears in his optics started falling and he fell on the floor crying softly, I slowly opened my side of the bond behind hit with pain, sadness, and worry. I walked over to him and knelt next to him placing my servos on his cheeks lifting his faceplates up to see tears falling. I hugged him feeling the bond between us slowly repair, his engine softly purring. “Strider, I forgive you… I was just hurt.” He softly smiled and stood up with me, I hugged him again. That night I fell asleep with Strider holding me in his arms and his engine purred all night lulling me to sleep. The next morning i woke up before Strider and felt his engine purr, I had to go deal with Redtail and Arcee so i quietly snuck out of my quarters and into the Autobot cell seeing them asleep perfect…. “Wakey wakey! It's time torture!” they jerked away and I saw Bumblebee was laying in a corner with Optimus right next to him. “Redtail, your coming with me.” Arcee widened her optics and grabbed his arm as he stood up to walk over towards me. “I'll be fine Arcee, I promise.” I smirked, he was so wrong there hahaha he wouldn't be returning to this cell alive. When we got to the separate cell I put restraints on him and turned on the screen like last time. I circled him slowly searching for a weakness or anything that I could see to hurt him. Finally I found scars on his chest plates and smirked knowing that scars meant weak spot. I turned to the screen and smirked drawing my gun and putting it to his spark, then looked at Redtail seeing the pain, and fear in his optics, he knew he was going to die now. “Arcee… I really don't want to kill Redtail but the Autobot left me with no choice, my friends betrayed me then say it is all my fault hahaha!!” I turned to Redtail who struggled in his restraints, poor poor Redtail. Without another thought I shot his spark killing him instantly smirking when I heard a muffled scream from the cell. Wanting to torture Arcee more i dragged Redtail's body back to the cell and threw it in next to Arcee whos optics were wide in terror and sadness. “Enjoy your recharge hehe haha HAHAHA!!!” I walked out and smiled opening my side of the bond feeling peace and still sadness from Strider. I smiled until I realized, I never got revenge on Diamond… I flew off the Revenge and to the street race track seeing some ped marks on the floor, I followed them to a house and smirked she was going to regret touching Strider. I transformed into my bipedal mode knocking gently on the door, when Diamond opened it she smiled at me and I transformed throwing her on the floor outside. “Hey what was that for?!” I growled and tackled her when she stood up, she wasn't getting away that easy not after kissing Strider. Her optics widened in fear as I warmed up my chest to fire at her when someone placed a servo on my folded wings. I turned my head growling until I saw it was Strider and I got off of Diamond sitting next to Strider growling at her. “See i knew you cared about me.” I growled and took a step forward to have Strider stop me giving me a smile. “Diamond we both know you kissed me after I told you that Lilac was my sparkmate. Honestly I should let her kill you but I won't because it would make her look bad.” Diamond took this chance to get up and drive off shaking in fear, lucky for her Strider was right here or I would have chased after her. I transformed and looked at Strider who had a smirk on his faceplates… when did he realize I was gone? “About the time you got the idea to kill her… I figured you would eventually I just didn't know when.” I felt my faceplates flush, I forgot he could read my thoughts, smiling I walked back to the Revenge with him and chatted about races, my father and occasionally Soundwave. When we walked into the command center I saw my father talking with Shockwave, I widened my optics in shock he was missing dead even! “Your highness, lovely to see you again.” I transformed into a predacon and sat by Strider as he looked around, I didn't trust Shockwave and wanted to protect my sparkmate. “How odd that your predacon genes didn't make you have a predacon sparkmate…” I flicked my tail as Shockwave looked at me curiously, I stood up slowly and walked in front of Strider as Shockwave examined my features. I opened the bond and felt Strider jealous and mad so I slightly growled at Shockwave warning him to back off a little. I then sat near Strider again knowing my engine was purring along with his. As Shockwave continued speaking to my father I walked to my quarters in predacon mode with Strider. “Who was that mech and why was he looking at you closely?!” I rubbed up against Striders leg to calm him down and purred as he opened the door to my quarters and sat down on my berth. I hopped up next to him feeling my engine purr when he ran a servo down my back gently. “Don't worry Strider, that was Shockwave he recreated predacons and finds me an interesting subject to study. Even if it creeps me out sometimes.” Strider smiled running another servo down my back and laughed softly when I rolled over purring, I don't know what type of predacon my mother was but it was part dragon and cat. That night I fell asleep in Striders arm and purred feeling safe and happy.
