Conversation ...

I should be sleeping, but the truth is I've slept so much over the past couple of days that I really cant any more. Mele' is, and the truth is I would love to be in bed. But ive laid there and done everything from listen to my "Pure Moods" cd to count celing tiles and My eyes just wont close. So for the moment I'm on my laptop checking my mail and blog.
I have to smile as I hear the cat calls of "HEY HUGO!!" from down stairs as Poor megs walks around in the command center. It just hit the web about an hour ago that Hugo Weaving is going to be doing The poor guys voice in the new movie and now the Leader of the Decepticons is having to put up with the jokes. He says that if one more person calls him "agent Smith" They are on KP till the movie comes out. So far, the Stunticons have met this fate and several others are probably going to be joining them.
Orion is in the process of looking after several things in the command center and I dont begrude him his duties. He thinks I'm sleeping, and so i havent bothered him.

I'm in the process ofchecking my mail, and seeing whats going on on the other blogs, when i hear it. Or rather him. And then proceed to make a complete fool of my self fumbling with, and promopty dropping the DVD player remote, and managing to do everything BUT get "Empier" turned off in an attempt to not offend my Guest.

"You dont have to turn it off on my account," He rumbles.

I finally get the thing and manage to snap it off.

"Listen, I know you and Kenya wouldnt Make Orion sit through "IT". I have no intention of makeing you suffer through this."

I get the feeling he's grinning at me under that thing.
"Very well, I appriciate the sentiment your Hi...." He stops as he notices me holding up my hand, "What?"

"Just Rose okay?"

Again i get the impression of a smile, "Very well Rose. I appriciate the sentiment."

"So," I sit down my computer and look up at him, "What'cha donig up here?"


"Checking on you," He finishes the rest of the steps and comes into my room taking a look around, "It MUST be a writer characteristic."

"What?" I look past him at the obstacle corse that my room is currently, "Oh that. I dunno about that.. I'm just a slob."

"Hmmm..."

I sit and he stands there for a moment in silence except for the resperator as i try and think of something to say to him. Turns out I dont get the chance As i suddenly have to double over and laps into another coughing fit.
The illness i had been fighting for some time had started to get better but with this latest fight wearing me out, its come back yet again. As I learn as this last hacking fit leaves me breathless and wishing i could get my hands on the person who gave this to me.

"Rose?!"

I finally snap out of my hacking and get enough wind in me agian to apologize.

"oh, I am so sorry Anakin, I coughed all over you!" I realize what ive said two seconds after its out of my mouth, "Oh I'm sorry Darth. I know you Dont like to be called that."

"I am not offened Rose," He's knelt down inf front of me so he can make sure im okay, "I am concerned about that though."

"Its just a cold," I sigh and flop back , "Oh by the way, Thanks for comming to help Orion. I appriciate it. S'twice now youve been there for us when we needed help."

"I could do no less my lady, And I know you and Prime would do no less for me," He proceeded to stand up and tower over me.

"You really are a good person you know that?" I smile up at the DarkLord, "And to think I used to be frightened of you as a kid."

"You were?" He seems to doubt that, "You dont strike me as the type that would be scared of anything. Let alone a character from a moive."
I Shrug back at him, "Well I always some how Knew Orion and his were real, Maybe i sensed it about you too."

"Possible and yet now your not afraid of me? "
"No," I shake my head, "Now i know you and what you really are, And that all your reactions, everything that was in the stories. Those are just the reactions of any sentient feeling being who had to face those choices in thier life."

"You.. dont think i was being selfish?"He cocks his head to one side and continues to look at me.

"I think you were being normal, And the truth is.. when it comes right down to it. You and Orion like ive said before are a lot alike. You had to make the same choices, had the same problems, and the same type of fate. Only the out come was different. And in the end it was really. So no, i dont blame you and im not afraid of you any more."

"That means a great deal to me Rose, As does your and Prime's friendship."



"thanks Yours and kenyas means a lot to us too. " I Stand up comming barely up to his control pannel, yes he definalty IS as all as Orion when Orion is his human size, "Come on down stairs I need something to drink after that coughing fit."

"As you like My lady." He motions me forward and follows me down the steps.

A few seconds later I have my soda and get him a cup of coffee, I spend about an hour talking to Darth Vader at my kitchen table Waiting for Orion to show back up.

He and megs finally walk in and I grin.

"Hello Hugo," I tease.
"Dry up," Megs growls and heads off to check on Mele'

"YOu are going to have to explain that joke to me some time Rose," Darth Comments.

I giggle, "Go check the web.. Its all over it."
Orion comes ovet to me leaning down and giving me a hug, "What are you doing up?"
"I uhh.. couldnt sleep, and Darth was keeping me company."

"Indeed," He stands up," I enjoyed talking to you Rose, We need to agian some time."

"I'd like that," I grin and he heads off into the house.

Orion sits down next to me for a while and we talk, about all thats going on and what can happen next. And about what good friends we have.. and how we are happy that we can count on all of them.


Thank you

Every one.


Rpse and co

For now...It remains to be seen

I come out of the house and take a look around at all of what is going on tonight on My Rose's Property.. All over the place are people and things and others who came back from the Appointment at Babalyon Palace.
I heard what happened in the arena, The Ressurected thing that resembled Elita tossed out in the place to be ripped apart for the amusement of every one there. The truly sad part was that was just her body from the past. Something much much worse has become of her and Stelia, Which is why we were not there to see the old body destroyed.
Rose and I as well as Megatron and my self had noticed that besides the places where all of this were going on there were several other places in the palace to investigate. The group we had with us all split up, The four of us, went one way, the Rider and his group went another and Will and his Air corps went to yet annother.
We were in the process of trying to find anything when we Heard it, A headless trilling laugh that made us all freeze and then follow it.. Only to find something awful at the other end.
A huge room made out in the palace like part of cybertron...and there in the room were two Femmes.. They Could have been Stelia and Elita, save for the fact that the colors they bore now were dark, andrather than the innocence that had always marked both women even durring the middle of the war, these two seemed consumed by wonton Lust and Vuluptiousness.
The horror should have lasted longer and probably would have had not Two of the people we had never hoped to see again appeared.
"What do you think prime?" Nemesis gloated from the shadows. "Ive decided you can keep your weak little human Princess there. I dont need her, I've already found my own queen."
I was in shock and Rose? Next to me I could litterally feel the girl start to shake in rage.
"You MONSTER! YOU BASTARD!!" She screamed as loud as she could.
"You have NO shame," Meleficent Added, "You CLONED thier dead mates an brought them back as your ... slaves!?"
I looked over at megatron, in all the years I have known him I dont hink until that day I have ever seen him cry. I still dont know what scared me more, the fact that they had done this and then thrown the real bodies to the arena, or the fact that even the Great "Slagmaker" himself was reduced to an emotional wreck upon seeing it.
We would have stayed for more, would have kept our selves there and been tormented by this horror. If at that moment we had not realised that from some where else in the palace a battle had suddenly broken out.
"Run along and play now," Nemesis Told me, "There will be pleanty of time for us to talk later."
I wanted nothting more than to stay there and take his head off, Megatron wanted nothting more than to evisercate Glavatron for what he had done, for this horrid awful thing. But that would have cost us the lives of our comrads. So for the sake of innocent lives all of us swallowed out pain and turned to leave.. Rather Megatron and i did.. rose and Meleficent Stayed rooted to the spot for a few mormoments.
"You think youve won dont you?" Meleficent growled.
"Think again you Monster," Rose continued. Then the two of them began takeing turns telling him what would happen.
"We wont let you have them."
"We wont let you use the past and the mistakes of it against us."
"youve made your choice and when the time comes. We will Do what EVER it tkaes to set them free"
I saw both of the girls standing there, light facing down darkness, light so bright because it had been touched by the dark and come away stronger. Nemesis glared at the two of them and made a motion with his hand shrowding the whole room in darkness.

By the time Megatron and My self had found our way to the battle it was in full swing, Will' Corp Out up against the forces that had been called out from his enemys to aid agianst them. The huge black beast he rides suddnely landing before us and Him motioning us on..
"C'mon! We need all the help we can get! We need Some serious Fire Power!"

And for the moment we let it slip from the two of us what we h ad seen and done as we threw out selves in to what was being asked of us. Firepower was what they needed and was what they got. Compliments of my aim and Megatron's Alt mode.

That was when we got another shock, we had been wondering where Rose and Meleficent were when the two of them one strapped down the other in her "battle Mode" zipped past Will's Dragon on and up draft and got right in to the middle of the fight.
"Do i even wannaknow?" Megatron asked.
"Those girls are naturals!" Willaim yelled back to us, "Just let them fight.. Dont let up!"


That was two days ago, tonight the combtants are sprawled every where as they recuperate. two of which are by one of the bonfires currently being yelled at by Megatron.
"And WHY pray tell did you two THINK It was a good idea?"
"Phulease.." Rose groans, " Its not any worse than Orion using you as his side arm."
"That is COMPLETELY! and UTTERLY!! DIFFERENT!!"
"Uh huh," Meleficent Still in her dragon form, To exhausted to chang back to her humanoid body at the moment. "Keep telling your self that."
"Hes right," I agree as i walk up behind them," You two could have been killed, and I plan on having a SERIOUS talk with Will about giveing dragon flying lessons to people who have NO clue what they are doing."

I litterally almost see both of the girls wilt infront of me I have to wonder who this, seeing clones of our old Lifemates, come to life and side with our enemys, hurt worse. I get the feeling that Like always Rose feels responsible for what happened in some way. Meleficent feels like it is her fualt too, for not some how seeing what was comming, or for her past perhaps.

I see Megatron get ready to start up again and shake my head at him, this isnt wwhat they or any of us need now.
This has been a horrid blow to us all, Palpatine is alive, Nemesis and Glavatron is alive, And Voldmort is also there. its over for now but what lies ahead of all of us? What horror is comming on the horizon? That remains to be seen.

Time and Prayers

Have you ever had one of those moments where you can acutally feel time passing? The seconds on the clock as they tick off? the sands in the hour glass as each gran slips by?
Thats how Most of us here feel now, as if we are getting closer and closer to the dark.
Mel and Megs are back. Orion just shook his head at the two of them and conceded that they did what they had to, but an explination before hand would have been nice.
I STILL have no clue what happened, besides something invovling a vase of roses, and my getting scrachted on them. Then waking up later and wondering why everyone was standing around me looking at me like I had just came back from the dead. Freaky.
Still we have a lil less than 24 or so hours before it all goes down. I really am scared of what we might find or see when we get there. But all of those who have gathered here are commited. From will and his corps. To The Rider and The Hunter. None of us will let them get away with what they are planning. Still its hard to just sit here and do nothing for the time being except feel the seconds tick by. It finally gets to me and I wind up taking a walk in the woods to of all places, Vector's Grave. Its so dark and cold out tonight that I can almost feel it closing in on me. So its no wonder that this bright lil flame on the hill side attracted me. He gave his life to make sure that the darkness didnt consume the world, the universe. It drives me crazy to think that him and all of those who have been lost may very well have died in vain. To think that we may never get the ones we care for back. It really truly hurts, to wonder just what we will see when we go into that place tomorrow. Will Nemesis and Galvatron be there? did they do the horrible unforgiveable thing that both my self and Meleficent are terrified of? And will we have no choice, the men we love have no choice but the dark evil one we are facing when the time comes to fight? I sit down on the cool marble and put my face in my hands, wanting nothing but to go back and bawl in the arms of the manI love, but knowing that this is neither the time nor the place for that. right now there is no one left to listen to me or comfort me except the best listeners and comforters of all.
I pray to all that can hear us, God, Primus, The Force, and what ever else you wanna call the powers that be in the universe. Please guide us and keep us all safe.
Rose

Invitation and Desecration

Okay.. well I NORMALLY dont post twice in a day... But Megatron had to get it out of his system and I decided to let him. I really wasnt in the mood while ago any how. but Now.. Now i need to..
We just got one of the invitations there was only one problem.. It wasnt delivered by an owl. It was delievered by Roller. For those of you who dont know much about Op, he has a remote unit as part of his trailer called Roller. Well the thing that showed up on my door step was Roller. Or something that looked like him.
Or rather a dark version of him.
It simply handed me the parchment, beeped at me vicously and rolled away. I stared down at the thing in my hand for a few moments andd then felt someone touch my shoulder.
I turned around to see Meleficent her face full of pain and worry.
"rose.. you had better get in here fast."
I followed her in to the com room and found both Op and Megs there looking like they had been kicked in the gut.
"What happened?"
"Thier graves..." Megatron got out.
"Say what?"
Meleficent looked even sadder and informed me of what was going on. "Steelia And Elita-1's graves have been desicrated on Cybertron. Someone...Someone took thier boides."
I didnt even think about the letter.. I tossed it on the ground and went over to Orion.
"Oh Lord baby im so sorry!!"
I just was there for him... but really i didnt know what to do. I looked over at Mele' and saw that the Fairy was at a loss too. Here there was all this noble talk about letting the past go, and yet the people we fought are bound and determined to bring it back reopen old wounds again and again.
What would any one want with the bodies of thier life mates? Lord I hope that it was just a moral tactic because i have no idea what could be next"

Betrayal

I am writing this due to the fact that neither Prime nor Rose were here when it happened. And i have to admit I am a bit thankful for that. The poor girl would probably have blamed her self if she had been here for it,so for once it seems that the universe decided to have mercy on the Girl.
what happend?
What happed was that we discovered that one of our allies had been the one selling us out to our enemies. Rose never trusted him, and i dont think she was to shocked to learn that he was a double agent.
The man claims to be a purponet of order. However he has just probven that he has sold out those he was called to aid to the forces of Chaos.
Rah's Alghoul the leader of the Leauge of Shadows.
It was not far from the house when we located him, either he thought he was being sneaky or he deliberately wanted to be caught to get away from the do gooders. I have no idea what style of com he was communicateing on or what made him think he was going to get away from all of us.
But he was under the impression that we were nieve idots given to higher ideals that have no part in the real world.
He dosent know me very well at all. I have seen and LIVED the dark side. I understandd it intimately. I Know all about the lust for power and the thrill of conquest. I also know the lonlieness, the pain of never trusting any one or anything. The cold lifeless existance that one must embrace when he or she decides the instead of a strength, love and compassion are weaknesses. I learned it the hard way As my body floated through space cold and alone, while a cloned imposter took my power and the empier that my darkness had created and ran it into the ground. I came home and saw that. I realized that Prime had been right, Alpha trion had been right. All of those to told me and told me over the years that if i perpetuated this war there would be no winners. Only a wasteland were right. I have lived it.. Meleficnet has lived it. Neither of us wish to go back. I learned that those "Weaknesses" had power enough to shake the world. I...changed.
And i couldnt let this upstart destroy what we had fought for because he could not accept what is a fundamental truth of the universe.
My self, Meleficent, William and his forces, The Rider and The Hunter, and all of those others chased the man into the woods and finally captured him. He is now in his OWN catatonic state, and while a part of me knows that he would have been more useful to us if he had not been subjected to that particular power I am glad that he will no longer be able to aid those who seek to harm us.
Rose almost had a heart attack when her and Prime returned and she found out what had happened. Prime just looked at me for a few moments as if there was still some small part of him that hadnt beleived I had really changed.. And now did. I cannot say I blame him. But I am pleased that I know I now have his full trust.
Alghoul specifically tried to stear us from the truth, Hurt rose with his false accusations, and sold out those who were simply trying to help to an abominationious process.
He has and will, the Rider has assured me, continue to pay for his crimes.
Part of this war is a war of nerves. Ive seen it and done it a million times. the Key to this is to be more patitent than those who are out there that we fight.

I have no doubts that we will wint this in the end. It isnt about power or vanity this time. We fight for the right reasons, Finally, I fight for the right reasons.

And I will not waste my second chance.

Megatron.

Dark Awakening and its answers...

I come in from work, change in to my sweats and then take the time to get on line and when I do i nearly barf.
Well okay I feel like barfing any how, but that seems to be due to this what ever it is i can't get over. Reading that its a possiblity that our friends have had thier life forces sucked out to power some kind of army makes it even worse.
As i sit there and read, and wonder how they could have survived what happened to them, some lil niggling in the back of my mind keeps bothering me but i cant seem to work my mind around it.
Strangely enough its one of my guests that makes the connection that either i didnt want to make.. or my mind just wouldnt let me make.

I'm tapping away on my lap top when Rah's Shows his face for the first time around me since i told him off several weeks ago and points somethign out.

"Alive but with no volition?" He leans down and takes a closer look, "It sounds like what happened to your lover at the hands of the Quintessons."

I want to slap him for that crack, I really do. I am just this shy of doing it when i realize something. I realize hes right.

He's exactly right.

And so I go do something that I almost never do... I go pull out my copy of the episode that tells the story of what happened in the "Dark Awakening" and watch it. And again Realize that Quigon's look alike has a point.

What all of this means is this, the Quintessons have a way to keep bodies that have lost thier vital life force alive. Even to the point where they can at least LOOK like they have some kind of personality. Or they can leave them as mindless bodies that are technically alive but are with out a mind, a personality.

Which leads me back to one more conclusion, our friends, the ones that have had this abomination done to them. They were left for us to find on purpose. They were a warning.
basically someone out there, be they Palpatine or someone else is trying to send us a message. Something that can be summed up like. "If you dont back down and let us have our way this is going to happen to you too."

So they get two things... They get an army of war bots powered by the souls of some of our most powerful members and they get to basically give us the finger while they are at it.

I pull my self up from where i feel like im glued to the floor and head out to Find Orion and tell him. I finally come across him in the living room as well several of the others who are discussing what has been on the blog so far. Almost all of them stop and stare at me.. liek they all know that I have something to say.

"Rose?" Orion stands up and holds out his arms to me.

"They..." And then I just cant, i bury my self in his arms and let Rah's tell them what conclusions that have been found.
Half an hour later im up in my room just kind of sitting on my bed reading when Orion finally comes to see me.
"are you okay?"
I look up at him," No, but i will be."
"I am sorry it took that for us to make the connection."
I sigh, "Could have been worse, Roddy could have had to do it."
I set my book down," So now what? this means the Qutins have their tentecals in to it, what else?"
"Some how that dosent shock me. after all if Palpatine does come back in a mechaical body he need someone to build it."
I sigh and flop back still feeling sick. "Great, just great."
"And your still not feeling well either."
"its just a cold."
"Rose, its not just a cold,"He glares down at me.
"I know,"I sigh,"My system is run down from everything thats happened, what am i supposed to do about it?"
"Well for one thing, since tomorrow is your day off, you can keep your butt in bed."
"Uh huh, I am not gonna sit in bed while we are gearing up for a war."
"Just takeit easy tomorrow okay?" He finally sat down next to me. "And try to get some rest?"
"How many times do we have to have this conversation?"I groan.
"As many times as it takes to get you to do what ratchet keeps telling you."
I sigh and finally give in.
"If you leave me alone and let me sleep and keep all the other wierdos in line, I'll TRY to not over do it tomorrow okay?"
"Good," He bends down and gives me a kiss.

I sigh and settle back.
So we know another bit to what is going on.. they left them alive on purpose.
I just havev one thing to say to the monsters out there, You dont scare us. And you cannot make us stop. Hurting people like this doesnt make you big or more powerful. It just shows what evil creeps you are.
We wont give up, we wont stop fighting you. And there is nothing you can do to make us back down.
Rose.
