Dangerous Attractions Part One - By Star Ruby

The peaceful planet of Cybertron in its second golden age. The quiet is shattered by the sound of jet engines. The jet engines are coming from Megatron's Aerialcon Femme Team. They are on a mission to destroy a peace conference that is going on at the conference centre in Iacon.

I let off a war cry, "Ladies attack the conference centre, show no mercy." My team and I are surprised to see Superion and Defensor. The Autobots anticipated an attack from the Decepticons. They set up the two warriors to defend the conference centre.

Defensor and Superion open fire on us. We manage to out manouver the blasts. I realize that there is only one option left. "Sisters, merge and become Death Crystal." Diamond, Bloodstone, Topaz, Emerald and I merge into the giant warrior Death Crystal.

Death Crystal spreads her massive wings and leaps into the air. She is capable of doing battles airborn. Death Crystal ignites her lightsabre and attacks Defensor. Superion shoots Death Crystal, she shreaks because he winged her shoulder. "Grrr, Superion you shall pay for hurting me." Death Crystal attacks Superion, Defensor shoots her in order to help Superion. Death Crystal retaliates by pouncing on Defensor. She uses her claws to blind him.

"Superion help me, this crazy femme is trying her hardest to destroy me." Death Crystal manages to injure Defensor badly. Defensor disengages and becomes five wounded Protectobots.

Superion notices Death Crystal preparing her weapons to destroy his fellow Autobots. He shoots Death Crystal in the back. Death Crystal whirls around and glares at Superion. "Superion, your toast." Death Crystal prepares to slay Superion but something goes wrong. Death Crystal freezes in her tracks. Superion collects his wounded team mates and leaves the area without destroying Death Crystal.

"Alright, which one of you four refused to cooperate? Bloodstone was it you?", I ask. She replies, "No Commander Star Ruby. I wanted to slay Superion." I believe my sister because she is ruthless. "Aerialcons disengage and retreat."

I am puzzled because Superion spared Death Crystal's life. I find that very odd indeed. I wonder how I am going to explain Death Crystal's failure to Megatron. I groan because I am going to be in for a fierce lecture from Megatron.

I return to the Aerialcon base with my sisters. My sisters know that I am angry with them. My blazing crimson optics says it all. I cringe when Megatron shows up. The situation has gone from bad to worse.

"Aerialcons, why did you fail to destroy the conference centre? Death Crystal should not have failed such an easy task. I want answers now!!" Megatron's optics blaze brighter crimson than mine.

Megatron glares at me. "Star Ruby, who is responsible for this failure?!" I manage to reply, "I have no idea Megatron. Everything went according to plan. Death Crystal froze when we were ready to slay Superion. One of my sisters caused the failure. We did manage to scrap Defensor though."

Megatron glares at my sisters. "Which one of you caused Death Crystal to freeze?" I feel sorry for my sisters because Megatron is being very nasty to them with his temper. I gather up enough courage to speak to Megatron.

"Megatron, I will talk to my sisters. Yelling at them will get you no results. I can find out why Death Crystal failed for you." I narrow my optics at Megatron and put a dangerous glint in them. Megatron takes that as a challenge. We try to outglare each other.

"Star Ruby, you have six hours to learn why Death Crystal failed." Megatron gives me an extra sinister look before leaving.

I sigh with relief the minute Megatron leaves. At least he didn't shoot anybody. Razormoon is very observant. "Star Ruby, one of your sisters is not here." I stare at my team sure enough one of my sisters is missing. I am surprised to see Diamond absent. I realize that she caused the power failure in Death Crystal.

Diamond returns to base. I am happy to see her back. "Diamond did you cause Death Crystal to malfunction in the battle today? I want the truth from you."

Diamond gives me an innocent look. "Star Ruby, I am shocked with you. How could you accuse me of such a crime, you don't even have proof that I did it." Diamond stops out of my office upset. I find my sisters behaviour very odd. This makes me suspicious about her.

Diamond goes to her favourite place to think. Soundwave joins her. "Hello Diamond, why did you lie to your sister? I know that you feel guilty about causing the power flux."

Diamond glares at Soundwave. "Why should you care you over grown tape deck?" Diamond realises that she just said something mean to her boyfriend. "Soundwave, I'm so sorry." Diamond transforms into her seeker jet mode and flies away. Soundwave worries about his girlfriend because he finds her behaviour very odd.

Diamond cries because she is all torn up inside. She is confused and afraid at the same time. You see she has a deadly secret. She is in love with both Soundwave and Silverbolt. She does not know what to do. She loves both guys and is afraid to choose one without hurting the other. She caused Death Crystal to malfunction in order to save Superion. She did not want to see Silverbolt get harmed. She is scared to be labled a traitor. She knows exactly what Megatron would do to her if he knew that she caused Death Crystal to malfunction.

Diamond goes to her rendevous site to see Silverbolt. Silverbolt is happy to see her. He notices right away that Diamond is upset. "What is wrong Diamond? You are not your usual happy self. Please tell me what is bothering you my love."

Diamond cheers up because Silverbolt really cares for her. "Megatron is upset because Death Crystal malfunctioned in battle today. I caused her to malfunction in order to save you my love. I am afraid to admit it to Star Ruby because she would tell Megatron that I am a traitor to the Decepticon cause. I don't want to die Silverbolt."

Silverbolt gives Diamond a concerned look. "You can always join our cause. Optimus Prime would never harm you because you are rare. You would be safer staying at the Aerialbot base my love." Diamond gives Silverbolt a hug. Silverbolt kisses Diamonds pretty mouth. Diamond moans because she likes being kissed by the Aerialbot leader. She feels safe around him. "I will join your cause my love." Silverbolt and Diamond make out near the Autobot base.

The lovers return to the Autobot base. This treason does not go unnoticed because Razormoon saw what was going on. I sent her to spy on my sister. Razormoon retreats the area to report to me.

I am happy to see my spy back. "Hello Razormoon, what do you have to report?"

"Star Ruby, I saw Diamond hanging out with Silverbolt. She was the one who caused Diamond to malfunction in battle." I thank my friend for that news. Razormoon leaves my office to play cards with her sisters.

I can hardly believe that Diamond is the traitor. I go to the practice range to fire my weapons. I do this regularly to loosen up. Megatron has no problem locating me because he recognizes the sound of a fusion cannon being fired. Megatron lands softly beside me. I am so busy concentrating on target practice that I fail to notice my boyfriend. Megatron decides to startle me by tickling me. I jump thirty feet into the air startled. I aim my cannon at the intruder. I gasp because it is only Megatron.

"Megatron, you creep. You scared the living daylights out of me." I try to deck Megatron. He laughs hard over my passionate display of temper. He dodges my punches. Megatron finally grabs me by the arm. "Will you cool it Star Ruby, or must I get rough with you?"

I decide to continue my attack. Megatron and I have a wrestling match. He manages to pin me. "Are you through with your savage attack Star Ruby?" I decide to release my pent up feelings. I pull Megatron down beside and I weep on his shoulder.

"Meggy, my youngest sister caused Death Crystal to malfunction. I find it hard to believe that Diamond would pull that stunt on us. She also lied to me when asked her for the truth. Razormoon was out spying for me and she saw my sister having a love affair with the enemy Silverbolt." This news stuns Megatron. He can hardly believe it too. He thought that Diamond and Soundwave were lovers. Megatron just holds me for comfort. He sighs because he has no idea how he is going to tell his best friend that news.

Megatron and I return to base. We head straight to his office to discuss my sister's disloyalty.

"Megatron, what are we going to do about Diamond? She is my sister and it really bothers me that she is being unfaithful to us. I do not want to see her get harmed in any way. I still love her even though she is a traitor. Maybe she has a scheme to turn the Aerialbot Leader against the Autobots. Lets not do anything hasty my love."

Megatron ponders over what I just said to him. "What you are asking of me goes against my better judgement. Diamond should be punished for her disloyalty to our cause. Your arguement is sound. I will play it your way for the time being." I smile at Megatron and hug him. Megatron moans because he is still not used to being hugged by anyone.

Diamond returns to the Decepticon base. I welcome my sister home. Diamond is relieved that I am no longer angry with her. She is unaware that I am having a crisis trying to control myself from killing her for her two timing disloyalty.

Diamond retires to her room. I smack my fist against the wall to cool off.

Razormoon joins me. "Commander Star Ruby do you want me to continue spying on Diamond for you?"

I grin at my spy and friend. "Yes Razormoon, I need to know what kind of game Diamond is playing." Razormoon grins because she loves to spy on anyone disloyal.

Soundwave stops by Diamond's room. "Come in Soundwave." Soundwave grins underneath his mask. He enters Diamond's room.

"Hi Soundwave, sorry I called you an overgrown tape deck earlier. I was not acting myself. Do you forgive me?" Soundwave removes his mask and kisses Diamond and he whispers into her audio sensor, "You are forgiven my love." Diamond allows Soundwave to have sex with her. She hates to admit it but Megatron's best friend knows all the moves.

Soundwave leaves my sister's room. This really surprises me. I had no idea that Megatron's friend had come to visit Diamond. Soundwave salutes to me before leaving my base to return to Megatron's.

I fly full tilt to Megatron's base. I make it there before Soundwave. I rush to Megatron's quarters and I ring his door chime. Megatron is busy doing reports when he hears the chime. "Enter, Soundwave."

I smirk because Megatron thinks it is Soundwave. I creep up on Megatron and surprise him by covering his optics. Megatron flips me onto his desk. "Star Ruby what are you doing here at such a late hour?" Megatron grins at me because I am sly.

"Diamond and Soundwave are still seeing each other. I think that my sister is two timing Soundwave and the Autobot. Meggy I have no idea what my sister is up too. I wish she would stick with Soundwave and stop seeing the Autobot. I am really worried about her state of mind. She must be going through an emotional crisis right now. What should I do?"

Megatron grins at me. "Star Ruby, would it make you feel any better if you went to the Autobots disguised as Diamond. You can make her look bad in front of Silverbolt. That would teach her not to be disloyal to our cause." I look at Megatron shocked. "No I couldn't do that to my sister. I love her to much to cause her any grief. I would never forgive myself if I did that."

I leave Megatron's office to return to the Aerialcon base. I am unaware that Bloodstone was in Megatron's office listening to our meeting.

Megatron smirks the minute I leave. Bloodstone emerges from her hiding spot. "Bloodstone, I know that you will do what I ask. You want a chance to redeem yourself. Make Diamond look bad in front of the Autobots. You are cold blooded enough to do it. Do not disappoint me my dear." Bloodstone grins wickedly at Megatron because she loves the idea of masquerading as Diamond. "I will gladly do it for you Megatron." The two Decepticons laugh wickedly.
