Nova Nico

"Carrier!" A small femme shouts, her white protoform glows bright in the light of the day. The red and purple standing against the pure white color. A taller femme walks over and picks up the sparkling. She looks very similar, purple and red on her armor, but her protoform is darker and there is this slight blue color at the bottom of her armor.

"Hey there Nova," Her voice is so soft and calming, Nova rests her helm against the femme's chassis. Hearing another femme wine quietly, she looks over and smiles. Walking over, she sits down on the floor, still holding Nova, her free servo reaches over and wraps around the other femme. "Aww, someone misses Sire huh?" The wining stops, this sparkling is younger and grabs the servo, playing with it for a while. Her protoform is silver and her armor is blue with a slight shade darker in some areas.

A small chuckle sounds from nearby the door frame, the femme looks over and smiles. "Well, would you look at that," The mech walks over, crouching down next to the three femme's. "A certain little Prime missed you," the littler sparkling looks up at the mech. A smile spreading across her faceplates.

"Creator!!!" She shouts, running towards the mech. Her arms spread out, wanting a hug. However, she loses her footing and falls over. A bigger servo catches her and brings her to his chassis. Nova slowly opens her optics and smiles. Rela sets her down gently, she walks normally since she is old enough, and walks over to the other femme.

"S...Sa...Saber..." Rela looks over at the mech with wide optics, shock and happiness in her optics. The mech sets down Saber, who quickly runs to Nova. They both laugh, Nova wraps her arms around Saber and closes her optics. Holding Saber close, not wanting to let her go.

Nova shakes her helm slightly, pushing off the wall, she walks down the hall. Ignoring all the Autobots talking about Saber. A few looking at Nova with sadness in their optics. But there is one emotion in her optics right now. Anger.

A servo lands on Nova's shoulder blade, turning around she looks at Racer. His arms are crossed, she glares at him. "No, Nova it's too dangerous." He says, seeming to have read her mind. She shrugs his servo off her shoulder blade, then continues walking down the hall. The predacon on her shoulder wines slightly, trying to get her to not go. "Nova." She turns around, for a second the image of her sparkmate flashed in her optics.

"I have to go." She turns back around and keeps walking, Racer stands in front of her though.

"I'm coming with," He says, she just stares at him for a moment. This sadness appearing in her optics, he must have noticed that something else was wrong. She just nods her helm slightly, they both walk towards the hangar. Once there, they transform.

***

After a few hours of flying, they finally land in a new area. "We haven't been here since..." Racer looks down in thought, not wanting to complete the thought since he remembered something that had happened. She just sighs.

"Exactly why we came here, no one would think to find us here." Nova begins her walk down the street of what was once Cyber City. As Racer begins walking, he notices a few other things that still are in tact. "Cyber City wasn't that much of a big city, therefore not nearly as much damaged happened here like it did everywhere else." She explains, noticing the look on his faceplates.

"How are you and Saber siblings?" She stops walking for a moment, "I mean, you guys don't have a spark bond."

***

"But why?" Saber asks quietly, their mother stands above the two young femme's. Creator isn't here right now, she has tears in her optics.

"Look, Creator isn't going to make it in time. I need you guys to do this. Please, in case something bad happens, I need to know that you'll be alright." Nova looks down, this sadness in her optics.

"Alright," She says quickly, Saber just starts crying.

"No, I don't wanna!" She cries, tears streaming down her faceplates. However it stops when Nova hugs her, tears stream down Nova's faceplates too.

"Don't worry little sis, I'll keep you safe. Spark bond or not," She gently wipes away the stray tears, sadness disappearing slightly. The tears keep coming, but Nova holds her tightly just like the first day they got Saber. "Don't be afraid, I'll always be here." She whispers, tears streaming from both femme's optics.

Slowly, their spark bonds begin to close up. Then they shatter in an instant. Saber quickly starts crying, feeling as if a piece of herself is missing. Nova catches her as Saber's small pedes fail to hold her up. Both femme's now rest on the ground.

***

A pair of servos rest on her shoulders, causing her to shake her helm slightly. She looks up and see's Racers bright blue optics. Sadness and worry in them. "We had to destroy our spark bond to keep each other safe. Knowing what would happen if Megatron caught one of us." She moves her optics down, towards the ground. Sadness in her own optics now, seeing her little sister cry.

Her fists close in anger, this rage returning. He nearly took her from Nova. He might now that he has the Dark star saber. A servo wraps around her own, looking up in shock. All anger disappears. "If you're anything like Saber, then I know I can't stop you. But please, think about it before you do something you might really regret." She feels tears form in her optics. "I know she doesn't show it much, but she cares about you more than anything. If you...lost. I am unsure of how she would react to it. But, I know it wouldn't be in a good way." He says quietly.

Next thing he knows, she wraps her arms around his chassis. Tears streaming down her faceplates. "I just want to keep her safe. Even if it means....fighting that monster. Even if...even if I die trying..." She cries into his chassis. Realization fills Racer's optics.

"That's why you wanted to come here." She looks down, refusing to meet his optics. Gently, Racer lifts her helm. Her teary blue-purple optics look into his own blue ones. "To say goodbye in case you don't come back." More tears stream from her optics.

"I..I'm sorry Racer, but you can't stop me." She whispers, pulling away for a moment. He just sighs.

"Fine, I won't stop you. But please, be careful." She nods her helm, the two turn back to the base that is a few yards ahead of them. "Come on." They start walking that way, this happy feeling in her spark begins to grow as they get nearer to the base. A smile forming on her faceplates.

"Nova!" A mech shouts, she runs forwards and jumps into his arms. He is a bit bigger than Racer, but not by too much. He has bright blue optics that match his black and blue armor. He wraps his servos around her waist and hold her tight to his chassis. However, when they pull back, he sees her faceplates. "What's wrong?" The spark bond between the two pulls with sadness and remorse. That scares him. "Nova."

"I'm..going on a mission." He wipes away some of her tears, "I just, wanted to say goodbye." A pain erupts between the bond, lifting up, she places a kiss on his derma. "I love you, Wrecker." He holds her in his arms for a few more minutes, this sadness engulfing their sparks.

"I love you too, but must you go?" Nova places her arms around his neck, her faceplates barely inches from his own. Racer just leans against a pole that had yet to me damaged in the war. His optics close gently, sadness in his spark. Why can't he stop her, of course he could. But, she has to do this. For Saber.

"I have to...For Saber." She whispers the last part, he just nods his helm. Her beautiful bright purple optics meet his blue ones. "Goodbye sweetspark." She whispers, then pulls away from him.

Nova walks towards Racer, who opens his optics and looks over at her. "Thanks Racer, I'm glad to know that you're there for her." He smiles, wrapping his arms around her, he holds her close for a moment. Then lightly chuckles.

"You know, she's gonna kill me once she finds out I let you do this right?" Nova chuckles and nods her helm. Looking out at the two full bright moons.

"I know, but she never stopped fighting, even when we did lose him and she was all alone." A smile forms on her derma.

***

"No!" Nova shouts, reaching for Saber. Who was only three years younger than the 10,000 year old Nova. Saber is grabbed from behind, just as an Autobot grabs Nova. "No! No please no! Saber!'" Nova shouts, tears forming in her optics. Her small servos trying to reach her sister. The war lord just smirks, picking Saber up by the back of her armor.

"Nova!!" Saber shouts, tears in her optics. However, she manages to stay very calm for being just a sparkling.

***

Nova begins to fly towards the Decepticon base in Kaon, where she knew Slade would be. Once she manages to make it there, she transforms on the top of Darkmount. Waiting there, Slade soon comes up. Standing on one end of the rooftop.

"I knew you would come sooner or later Nova Nico, after all, you just can't stand watching Saber get hurt." Nova growls at him, reaching back, her servo grips the handle of her own blade. Once she pulls it out, much like Saber's blade it was forged by Solus. It's equally as powerful, therefore it is one of the few blades that can damage Saber's blade, but also Novas.

"You nearly killed her!" Nova shouts, anger in her optics. Unlike Saber, Nova was trained to fight better when angry. Saber fights better when calm, once she get's angry, she loses control over her skill and fails. Slade just chuckles.

"I knew she would survive, just barely. It was so I can get her out of the way. Same with you. The only daughter of Prime, that isn't actually a Prime. Looks like only Saber got that name." Nova swings her blade around, walking towards him. They begin to circle each other.

"I am no Prime," She says, anger on her faceplates. "I am Nova Nico!" She shouts her last name, running at Slade. He just smirks, reaching back he quickly grabs the dark star saber and swings it down at her. But of course, Nova dodges it by moving to the side. Then grabs his blade and slams it to the ground with her pede. She manages to land a punch in his chassis. A quick one, then swings her blade at his helm.

He ducks down, and free's his blade by lifting it quickly. It throws her off balance. Giving him enough time to kick her in the side. Nova falls to the ground, her blade falling nearby. Slade stands up and walks over to her, anger but yet calmness in his optics and movement.

She quickly gets up. Only for Slade to grab her by the neck. Her fist goes to punch him, but his other servo grabs her wrist. Her one free servo grabs his around her neck and tries to get free. "I told you Nova, you're not a Prime. You can't stop me." He says the last part slowly, as if she isn't hearing him.

"I don't care what you say." He starts cutting off her air, "You mess with...Saber...I'll...kill you..." She mutters, her pede lifting up and kicking him in the stomach. He ends up dropping her on the ground. Nova quickly gets up. Coughing for a while since she now has air again. Slade just growls, annoyance forming in his optics.

"Just stop fighting, and die!" He shouts, reaching down and grabbing the dark star saber sword. Nova looks over at him, her sword also in her servos now.

"I'll never stop fighting for her! At one point, I thought maybe you would too! But obviously I was wrong! You don't love her! You just want to hurt her!" Nova shouts, anger in her voice as she shouts at the mech. "Don't you get it, Slade? The more you hurt her, the more she won't love you back." That seems to have angered him more, so he walks forwards. His grip tightening.

Nova tries to step back, but her pede hits the edge of the rooftop. Looking down, she sees a long fall below her. So she just grabs onto the handle of her blade tighter, sadness in her optics. "You hurt her so much," Tears stream from her optics, her servos shaking now. He just has a straight face on, even though, underneath she can see the sadness and hurt in his optics. "To think, she actually loves you." That takes him back for a moment, causing him to freeze. "And now you come and hurt her," The anger returns to Nova's optics.

"And now I'm gonna kill you, Slade." She holds the handle tighter, he just sighs. Standing a few feet away from Nova.

"Then I'm sorry Nova Nico, I made a promise to her. I promised her I would take both of you from her." I intend on keeping that promise." He says as if it's a natural occurrence.

"Then come kill me," Nova whispers, running at him again. Her sword ready, they both begin swinging at each other back and forth, each getting good hits in.

***

"I'm sorry Nova," Slade whispers, sadness in his optics. "She cared so much for you, it almost hurts my spark to kill you. Not because I care about you, but because she does. However, I made a promise, I am a mech to my word. Goodbye Nova Nico." He says quietly, her sword lays on the ground, covered in energon.

The naturally bright and colorful blade is now dull and dark. His pushes his blade into her spark, no hesitation at all. Her battered up body, covered in energon with dents, scratches, cuts, ect. The same goes for Slade, but not nearly as bad she hers.

Slowly, Nova's bright purple optics go out. Slade pulls the sword from her spark, letting the energon drip from the tip of the blade. Her lifeless body falling down and hitting against the rooftop's ground. "If you were a Prime, you might have won." He whispers, "I'm sorry Saber." He says quietly, then swings the blade back into it's place on his back.

"One down, one more to go."

***

"Nova?" Saber says quietly, the red and purple femme doesn't look over at her sister for a few minutes after she called her name.

"Yeah Saber?" They seem to be only 14,000 years old, or in Saber's case 11,000 years old. Nova looks over at Saber, after not gaining a response.

She is just sitting there, sadness in her optics. "Why did Carrier have to die?" She mutters, Nova goes quiet for a moment. Then stands up and walks over to her younger sister. Crouching down, she sits in front of Saber.

"Because Saber, everyone dies at some point. I guess, Creator wasn't there at the time. And, what could we do? We were sparklings after all." Saber starts to cry a little, holding close to Nova. Who has tears forming in her own optics.

"Why couldn't I be stronger? I...I could have helped him..." Nova realizes who she is talking about. Wrapping her arms around Saber, she sighs.

"I know you blame yourself Saber, but it wasn't your fault. Really it wasn't. Even if you were a little stronger, everyone has to die at some point. Creator knew what he was getting into when he came to save you." Nova whispers quietly, "We all have to die at some point, but what matters, is that your death wasn't in vain. If you die in vain, then what was the point in dying?" Saber shakes quietly, from all the crying.

"No death will ever be in vain, especially when the one they died for, is one heck of a warrior." Saber starts to stop crying, looking up at her sister.

"Are...are you ever going to die?" Nova doesn't say anything for a moment.

"We all die at some point Saber, and I'll tell you this. Once you get older, many bots will die for you. They would all give their lives to keep you safe any day. Someday, you'll lead them. Someday you'll be a true Prime." Nova's soft voice whispers. "I...would give my life for you any day little sister. I mean, that's what sisters are for...right?" Tears stream down both of their faceplates.

"I...I don't want to lose you Nova..." Saber whispers quietly, Nova just chuckles lightly.

"I know you don't, but even Primes die. One day, so will I. But if there's one thing I can be sure of...." Saber looks up at Nova with sadness in her optics. Her helm resting in Nova's lap, while Nova's servos wrap around Saber's neck and rest gently on her chassis. Tears stream down Nova's faceplates. Her long red and purple wires flow down her back struts, revealing small wings on her back.

"It's that I'll go down fighting. For you...Saber Prime."
