Author's Note: Haha! Made Optimus a holoform! Doesn't look too bad.A few weeks passed, leaving Christmas behind, but the tension between Chardirakii and Hexia only seemed to grow thicker and thicker with each passing day.
One day I peeked into the training room and observed Arcee and Chardirakii training with each other without weapons.
Arcee jumped over Chardirakii's helm and launched herself into a roll farther away.
Chardirakii spun and blocked skillfully with speed and precise accuracy as Arcee came sprinting back in.
Both femmes fought with grace and deadly force, one slightly smaller and fast, the other tall and cunning.
Arcee leapt at Chardirakii's helm, kicking with both peds.
Chardirakii caught Arcee by the leg, then tossed her away, but I knew had it been a real battle, Arcee would've been slammed into the ground with surprising strength and been possibly paralyzed from the sheer force.
A servo tapped my shoulder-plate and I turned to see Hexia looking up at me.
"Yes?" I asked, making my face-plates expressionless.
"Outside. With me. Now," she said, grabbing my wrist and pulling.
I cast one more quick glance back at the other femmes, then allowed Hexia to escort me outside.
Once there, Hexia pushed me around to the back of the building, then shoved me against the wall.
"Hexia, why are you portraying such aggression?" I asked.
Hexia, being a short bot, hooked her peds on my leg armor and lifted herself up to my helm level, steadying herself with two servos on my chest-plate.
"You spend too much time with Chardirakii and such little time with me," she whimpered, magenta optics pleading as she leaned closer.
"Hexia, Chardirakii has no other place to rest, as you and Wheeljack already understand."
Hexia stuck out her bottom derma in a pout,"Can me and Char switch rooms then? I want to spend more time with you."
She was getting too close now, and I put my servos on her waist to hold her away.
"Hexia," I said sternly,"No."
Hexia pouted and stubbornly pressed her entire frame against mine,"But, Prime, I love you."
"Then I am afraid I must reject you," I replied coldly,"As of now I am unavailable to any femme."
A slow smile spread over Hexia's face-plates as she ran her digits playfully up my chest-plate and tickled under my chin,"Any femme?"
I knocked her servo away with an annoyed huff.
"Just for a night," Hexia pleaded, making her optics large,"Share your berth with me for just a night?"
She leaned forwards and brought her dermas to my audio receptor in a light kiss.
"I can give you the best pleasures a mech could receive," she whispered seductively, then bit my audio fin.
I firmly grasped her by the shoulder-plates and pushed the femme away from me, keeping my face-plates glass-smooth.
"Hexia, I have no interest in you whatsoever," I said.
"Oh?" Hexia purred,"Then whose spark have you taken then? Arcee's? Chardirakii's?"
When she said her sister's name her magenta optics darkened to an ominous raspberry color.
She set a servo on my chest-plate and smiled at me," Mind if I take a peek?"
"Yes, I do mind," I replied in annoyance. Couldn't a femme take a simple rejection and fragging leave?
Hexia's smile only grew and she applied pressure with her index and thumb digit onto my chest-plate, then opened it to reveal the spark inside.
"Hexia, I order you to stop!" I cried, trying to swat her servos away.
Two dark green tentacle things shot out of Hexia's back-plates and slid around my wrists, holding them at my sides while the femme looked closely at my spark.
"Hmm...slight shimmers of pink...Arcee? No wait, black too."
Her face-plates twisted into an expression of pure hatred as she shut my chest-plate again.
She raised her optics to mine, still that scary raspberry color and hissed.
"I am going to make my sister pay for this," she said.
"Chardirakii has done nothing wrong," I protested, which resulted in Hexia slamming my helm back against the building, those tentacle things still holding my servos fast.
"Fool! Can't you see? Chardirakii can never love, she was only ever created to kill. That is, and always has been her purpose in this universe. She's merely using you, enchanting you, so that she may use you at a moment's notice to please herself," Hexia hissed, then jumped off of me, the tentacles disappearing back into her back-plates.
"Don't worry, my dear," she said determinedly,"I will free you from her twisted spell, then you can truly see how horrid and evil she is."
Hexia made to walk away but I grabbed her wrist roughly with my servo.
"Chardirakii is no evil being," I growled,"And you are denied permission to touch her."
Hexia stroked my cheek with the back of her digits, her expression cruel and pitiful,"Poor Optimus. Once Chardirakii is dead, you will see the light. Until then, you stay right here."
Four of the green tentacles sprouted from the ground and wrapped around me, holding my arms and legs fast as well as attaching me to the building.
Hexia pressed a couple digits to my dermas and brought her face-plates close.
"Shh," she shushed me,"I am saving you. Be grateful. In time, you'll see what a mistake you've made."
She moved her digits and kissed me, then stepped back and draped another tentacle thing over my intake to prevent me from calling out for assistance.
Then she walked away.
I struggled against my bonds, but the tentacles were strong and held me tightly.
"Chardirakii!" I tried to shout through the gag, but it effectively muffled any noise I made.
Ultra Magnus walked past, talking to himself, but didm't appear to see me despite my desperate attempts.
He even glanced at the wall directly beside my helm before walking away.
Either Hexia had effectively tampered with their programming, or I was invisible.
I sent panicked and distressed signals through our bond to Chardirakii, hoping she'd take the hint and run.
Suddenly pain shot through our bond, coming from Chardirakii.
"CHARDIRAKII!!!" I shouted at the top of my voice-box.
