Goddess of a Prime

Chapter IV

This femme was unlike any other I had ever seen in my life.
She seemed to be carved out of jewels, some sort of magenta-colored crystal for her highlights, and dark, midnight-black onyx for the rest of her armor.
Small greenish-blue biolights shimmered along her tall, slender frame, looking like someone had carefully carved shards of energon and placed them artistically in her black armor and down the sides of her face-plates and neck-cables.
Her optics, though cold, were a light lavendar and mauve color.
Why she captivated me I do not know. All that I knew was that this was no ordinary being from Cybertron.
And when she introduced herself as the goddess of death, I couldn't help but wonder how such a thing of perfect beauty could have control over something so corrupt and dark?
Megatron seemed to be having similar thoughts to me from his facial expressions and the awe in his optics that I was certain matched mine.
The femme...Chardirakii as she'd called herself, turned that cold gaze to me.
Our optics met and for a brief second white flashed over my vision.
Once it cleared, the femme was still looking at me.
"And you," she said in a commanding, but quiet tone,"You are Optimus Prime are you not?"
I nodded and recomposed myself,"I am."
The fact that she knew me sent shivers up and down my back-plates.
A few Vehicons stupidly tried shooting at the femme.
One shot skimmed past her audio receptor and I noticed her already-large optics widen in surprise.
"Enough!" Megatron shouted, the boldly approached the femme.
I narrowed my optics as me and my team readied our weapons once more, knowing Megatron would try and corrupt the femme.
Sure enough he reached a servo forwards to lay it on Chardirakii's shoulder-plate...
...only to have it swatted aside like a bug.
"Do not touch me," Chardirakii said calmly, those optics of hers turning dangerous.
Whether Megatron was extremely stupid, or he's just had an overdose of highgrade, he tried to touch the femme again.
Chardirakii grabbed his wrist, and in the blink of an optic Megatron was lying face-plates-first in the dirt, one arm twisted behind him.
"I will repeat my warning, do not touch me," Chardirakii said, still in that calm tone, then dropped Megatron's wrist like a rotten vegetable and stepped over him as if he were so.
Megatron pulled his face-plates out of the dirt and spat out a clod of grass, glaring at the femme's back-plates.
At least...I hoped it was her back-plates and not...somewhere else.
Chardirakii looked around, at all the Decepticons, then swept her gaze over us again.
"So few Autobots," I heard her murmer,"So many Decepticons."
"Our numbers are rapidly growing," Megatron replied, standing up and brushing the dirt from his armor,"You would be a valuable addition."
"Don't listen to him!" Bulkhead shouted,"He'll just use you!"
"Oh, you think I didn't already know that just from looking at him?" Chardirakii asked coldly.
"So you side with them then?" Megatron growled, his sword sliding out from under his arm cannon.
"I side with no one," Chardirakii replied, not even turning around,"Only even the score."
Megatron lifted his arm, bringing his deadly blade up to strike at the seemingly unsuspecting femme's helm.
"Your imminent attack will not bode well for your soldiers, Megatron," Chardirakii warned.
Megatron ignored her and brought his servo down in a sweeping arc towards Chardirakii's helm.
The femme moved like lightning, stepping out of the way.
Megatron's sword sliced into the soft dirt and Chardirakii stomped on it, trapping Megatron's arm on the ground.
"Wrong move," she said.
"Decepticons! Fire on the femme!" Megatron shouted.
"Autobots! Attack the soldiers!" I shouted at the same time, charging up my blaster in one servo and turning the other into a sword.
I barely knew this femme, but I had already made up my processors she was not going to die. Certainly not on her first day on Earth.
The Vehicons, as ordered, opened fire on Chardirakii, and we opened fire on them.
I sprinted to the femme's side and punched an advancing Vehicon who was aiming at her back-plates.
"Thank you, Prime, but your services are unneeded," Chardirakii said calmly.
I looked at her in slight confusion, then noticed a black and violet mist enveloping her right servo.
Suddenly all the Vehicons stopped shooting and seemed to become dizzy.
"What are you doing?" Megatron shouted, then jabbed his free elbow into Chardirakii's leg hard.
The femme cried out and stumbled a little.
On instinct I lunged and caught her arms to steady her.
As I expected, she brushed my servos away and gave me a cold glare.
"My apologies," I said, then turned and shot a Vehicon.
"Call off your warriors," Chardirakii told me.
I looked at her, confused again.
"Do you wish for them to perish?" she asked, raising a thin optic ridge slightly.
I shook my helm, then called away my team.
We stood off to one side and watched.
All the Vehicons charged at Chardirakii at once.
From nowhere a long sword appeared in the femme's servos, which she swung and decapitated several nearby Vehicons.
The sword changed to a kopesh (a curved Egyptian sword) and a long dagger and suddenly Chardirakii became death itself.
Spinning, she hooked her kopesh under one Vehicon's arm and yanked it upwards, slicing at his exposed chest-plate with her dagger.
Energon sprayed but she had already moved on to another opponent.
Now wielding two kopesh, Chardirakii showed great agility and skill as well as speed as she leapt from adversary to adversary, leaving deep, but not very fatal wounds.
Once each and every Vehicon had at least one gash in his armor, Chardirakii's kopesh disappeared.
"Know as your final thought that your leader brought you to this fate," Chardirakii hissed and raised a servo.
All of the Vehicons started floating, some screaming in terror, a few begging for mercy.
Chardirakii's other servo came up, but as if she were tugging on a string and several sharp, black, metal spikes with glowing violet tips grew out of the ground.
More screams came from the Vehicons and a sick feeling began to twist in my stomach as I realized what the femme was about to do.
Chardirakii opened her digits and the Vehicons fell onto the spikes, each metal piece positioned perfectly so that each Vehicon landed directly on one.
Some died instantly, others did not.
The spikes disappeared and the Vehicons who were still alive collapsed on the ground with their dead comrades and groaned in pain and agony.
Chardirakii turned to Megatron, who looked more terrified than I'd ever seen him.
"That was a mere demonstration of what I can do," she hissed,"Do not force me to reveal my full powers, for doing so will mean your swift demise. Now take your wounded and leave this place."
