Submission to Icebeam14's contest. Dinobot becomes a vampire. . .
*Beast Wars belongs to Hasbro and all that other junk. (*note: The Dinobot in this story is really young (like early 20's). The story is also kinda twisted in a way. It applys to our society more then Cybertronian society. Another thing, after Dinobot is raised from the dead, he is in his TMII form*)*
.
"I will survive . . ." The song was drowned out by the many voices of the patrons of the bar. Every now and then a phrase or chord would slip through to an idle listener. One of those listeners was Dinobot.
. Dinobot sat on a bar stool, head bent down, a half gone mug of beer infront of him. He knodded his head to the song and silently mumbled the lyrics. In his slightly drunken state, Dinobot tended to be very grouchy, and very unwarrior-like.
Dinobot felt someone sit in the seat next to him. He got tense, and slowly turned his head. A pretty fembot was there, smiling at him.
"Hi, my name's Bessie. And you are . . ."
Dinobot snarled at her.
"That's a strange name. Never knew anyone named *snarl*"
". . .and I never knew anyone named Bessie."
Bessie chuckled softly, her smile growing larger. Dinobot liked her smile. He let his eyes wander somewhere "else," and discovered there was somthing else he liked about her even better then her smile.
Bessie softly stroked his cheek. "So cutie, what's really your name"
Bessie trailed her fingers down his face and tickled his chin. "Di . . . Di . . . Dinobot" he stutterd.
"Oooooo . . . What poweful name. You must be an extremely horonable warrior."
Bessie's hands began to rub his chest. Trembling, Dinobot knodded his head to answer yes.
Bessie suddenly stopped her seduction of Dinobot.
"Why did you stop? I was enjoying myself." asked Dinobot with a slightly drunk voice.
"I bet you were" she replied hastly. "Listen sugar. You see that bot over there in the corner."
Bessie pointed to a spot. Dinobot turned his head, and looked in that direction. The bot that stood there was very large, with evil red glowing eyes, and a irritated lookin face.
"Yea" Dinobot snarled.
"Well you see" said Bessie, "that bot is my ex-boyfriend. He just came in here, and he has seen us. He gets very jealous seeing me talking to guys other then himself. Just tell him your my cousin, if he comes over."
Bessie got up and began to leave. Dinobot stopped her.
"Where do you think your going?" he snarled
"I'm leaving" she said, "I have a restraining order on him, but he ignores it. The only thing I have left to do is leave, if I don't want him to bother or hurt me. Listen," her voice got soft and comforting, "if he asks where I went, tell him it was the bathroom."
"But . . ."
To stop Dinobot from asking anymore questions and wasting her time, Bessie kissed him. She then slipped him her number, and quickly left.
Dinobot watched her leave. He looked down at the number she gave him, and quickly memorized it.
A hand tapped Dinobot on his shoulder, and a voice said "Excuse me."
Dinobot turned around and saw the mech Bessie was talking about.
"Do you know what that fembot who just kissed you is?
Dinobot took a gulp of beer from his mug and said "You mean the one who has a cow as a beast mode, a southern accent, and the nice body."
"Yeah."
Dinobot shrugged, turned around and ignored the bot, not bothering to listen to the mech's response.
"Enraged, the mech said "I don't want you going near her ever again!"
"Why?" said Dinobot calmly. "From what she tells me, your just some over possesive ex."
That comment was all that was needed to send the mech off the edge. He hooked a punch right into Dinobot's jaw. If Dinobot wasn't so drunk, he would have blocked it, but unfortunatly, he could not.
The Mech looked down at Dinobot and said "She is dangerous, and will only hurt you." With that, the mech turned around and quickly left the bar.
Dinobot angrily got up. This was not his night. He meets a fine girl, she bails out on him. Her possesive ex-boyfriend comes and easily catches him off gaurd and gives him a good one in the jaw. He mumbed silently and headed straight for the door. He felt like going home.
***
Dinobot decided to walk home, feeling he was too drunk to drive. All along the way, he kept on getting this feeling of someone following him. Someone being just two steps behind him, yet when he turns around to see, no one would be there.
Up ahead, he saw the the steps leading up to his apartment. He began to get that feeling of someone behind him again, cept' this time it was stronger then ever. Instead of looking back, like he had done on all the other occasions, he decided to ignore it. He had a plan.
Once he got to the door of his apartment, he quickly turned around, grabbed whoever was following him, and slammed them against the opposite wall of the narrow hallway he was in. He kept his arm around the throat of his stalker until the stalker went limp. Then he got a good look at the bot.
"Bessie!?" He let his arm off her neck, and watched her slide, unconscous, off the wall and onto the floor. He gingerly pick her up and opened the door to his apartment. He then set her down on his couch and gently nudged her. She began to stirr. Finally she opened her big brown optics and looked at him.
"Dinobot, I didn't mean . . ."
"Shhhhhhh . . ." Dinobot silenced her. "What ever reason you have for following me is totally understandable. I mean, that ex-boyfriend of yours seemed to be very agressive, and I bet you were scared".
Bessie simply knodded her head, and sat up. Dinobot pushed her back down.
"Please bessie, I think you need some rest."
Bessie looked up into Dinobot's optics. She nimbly stood up and pushed Dinobot onto the couch. She then climbed on top of him.
"Bessie . . ." This time Bessie silenced him.
"Quiet Dinobot. Now, close your eyes."
Dinobot quickly did what he was told, nervous with anticipation.
"Now don't open them" she said teasingly.
Dinobot knodded growing terribly impatient. He heard her chuckle softly.
After what seemed like an eternity, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. Instinctively he opened his eyes and bolted upright, knocking Bessie off of him.
"I'm sorry Bessie, you just surprised me by biting me."
Dinobot rubbed the wound on his neck, feeling his mech fluid run freely from the wound. He got down off the couch and grabbed Bessie's hand. She looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back. She then opened her mouth to reveal two sharp fangs, glistening with Dinobot's mech fluid. His smiled soon turned into a grimice of surprise and complete terror.
"Wha . . . what are you?!?" Dinobot questioned, slowly backing away from her.
Bessie stood up and began to laugh histerically. "Your worst nightmare sugar!"
Before Dinobot could do anything, Bessie lauched herself at his throat and sunk her fangs in it. She then began to suck the mech fluid deeply out of it.
Dinobot groaned loudly, and slumped to the floor, taking Bessie with him. he then blacked out.
***
"Grrrrrrrr . . ." Dinobot grumbled as he came to. "That's the last time I try to pick up fems at a bar" he said outloud, picking himself up from off the ground.
Dinobot looked around. "Where am I?"
Since his eysight was blurry, Dinobot could not really tell where he was. All he could seee where some weird looking rectangles sticking up from the ground. The whole area was bathed in a pale blue light coming from a cicular white thing up in the sky. He stared at the thing until his optics came into focus.things
"HOLY PRIMUS!!!! I'm in a cemetary!!!!" Dinobot screamed for while, and then slowly calmed himself down. Constantly reminding himself that he was a warrior, and shouldn't be afraid of the dead.
As if reading his thoughts, a voice said "Oh, but you should!"
Dinobot nearly jumped out of his metal skin at the sound of the voice. "Who .... who are you!" he demanded. Pulling out his blade, he yelled "show yourself!"
A figure slowly walked out from the mist. It was wearing a hooded cloak, so he couldn't see the being's face.
"Who are you?!?" he growled in a deep throaty voice. "Are you malevolent?"
"No I'm not malevolent, but I'm surprise you don't reconize my voice" the being changed the tone of it's voice "sugar."
"BESSIE!!!" he yelled.
"Bessie is just one of the many identities I have" said the being, still using Bessie's voice.
"How did I get here!?! Why am I here!?!" he said gruffly.
"You don't remember Dinobot?"
"All I remember is bringing you into my apartment and resting you down on my couch, the rest gets fuzzy from there on."
The being chuckled. Dinobot started to get a picture in his head of Bessie chuckling, sharp fangs pointing out of her mouth, dripping with someone's mech fluid. He shook the picture out of his head.
"It has been three days since then, Dinobot. Don't you remember, you died."
Dinobot slowly shook his head. "I don't beleive you!"
"I sucked all the mech fluid out of your body, Dinobot, while you were screaming your head off to your stupid god Primus, to save your stinkin' spark!!"
"I . . . I . . ."
"Don't deny it Dinobot!"
"I . . . I . . . I remember . . ."
"After they buried your body, I came here to bring you back to life. Luckily it is a full moon tonight, thus ensuring your raising from the dead to be completely successful."
Dinobot turned around and looked down. He then noticed a hole in the ground. he walked over to it, and peered down it. Inside of it was a coffin. The lid was ripped open, and the dirt around it looked as though someone had dug themselves out of the ground.
Dinobot suddenly fell to his knees, and screamed in pain, as a sharp pain wracked his stomach. His whole body was screaming for something . . . anything to end this pain.
He turned around and looked at the being.
"Bessie!" he hollered.
He crawled over to the being that he knew as Bessie and looked up into it's once brown, now white optics.
"Help me!"
Bessie reached into her cloak and pulled out a vial with interesting looking fluid in it. She handed it to Dinobot, who quickly opened it, and downed the liquid inside. His hunger was sated for now.
"What am I!" He asked
" You are like my kind now. A creature of darkness and shadows. A feeder of the mortals. The devourer of the fluids of life. A vampire." She smiled at him. Her fangs glinted in the moonlight.
Dinobot looked at the vial in his hand and crushed it. He got up and backed away from her, disgusted.
"You have made me into a monster! The sole creature that I, a honorable warrior, is sworn to destroy."
"The only monsters your fight are insane predicon war lords, and maximals gone wrong. Vampires are not monsters. What we do is not evil, it is the way we live to survive."
"Then I do not want to live this living death of eternity! I shall end my existence, if it'll mean my salvation."
Dinobot pulled out his saber and tried to stab himself, but everytime he tried, the sword would miss his body completely.
"Oooooo . . . I guess I forgot to tell you. Vampires cannot destroy themselves."
Dinobot hollered at the moon.
"The hunger . . . it's . . . it's . . . it's coming back."
"I expected the vial I gave you not to fullfill your hunger. It was only meant to identify what you should be feeding on to sate your desires."
Dinobot needed no explaining to what he was suppose to feed on. He looked at her.
"I've brought you a treat Dinobot. She's small, but she'll satisfy you for the rest of tonight.
Bessie opened her cloak, and a small fembot stepped out. She looked up at Dinobot with innocent looking eyes. The pitiful creature made Dinobot's hunger flare even more. Without no regard to moral or shame, he grab the bot, and roughly fed from her.
Bessie only watched, and smiled.
*** The next full moon (28 days later)***
Dinobot threw the lifeless body on the ground. It landed with a loud clunk. He stared at it's lifeless optics, and was tempted to rip out it's spark and devour it. Bessie had done that many times with her victems. He couldn't though. Something in his mind told him it was wrong. Something from his past.
He had forgotten his past. All he remembered was the night Bessies raised him from the grave, and introduced him to this life as a vampire.
"Come on Dinobot! Someone is coming!"
Dinobot took a final glance at the body, and then left for the safety of the shadows.
"There you are love."
Bessie gave a small peck on Dinobot's lips.
"Come, the night is young, and there is so many prey to hunt."
Dinobot growled a response and followed her. She led him into the woods to the small glade they go to every night. In the middle of the glade was a square black rock. In the middle of the black rock was a cup with some fluid in it.
Dinobot felt his hunger quickly return to him. He began to walk over to the stone, but Bessie stopped him.
"No! Don't go out into the glade!!"
Dinobot looked at her confused. "I thought you put that blood there, as a gift to me."
"I did not! It's a trap! A hunter must be nearby!"
"A hunter?" Dinobot snarled.
"Yes! There are those out there who hunt us vampires. The only vampire hunter who knows where the location of this glade, and uses this type of bait, is the vampire hunter who is called Silverbolt. Be wary, he may still be around!"
Dinobot unsheathed his claws and silently disappered into the woods. He caught a strange scent in is nostrils. It smelt familiar, yet he couldn't remember where he smelt it from. He started to get a flash back. He was in a bar, and Bessie was talking to him. He heard her say someting about her ex-boyfriend. She then got up and left. After that a large mech looked down into his face.
Dinobot shook his head to get rid of the flash back. It wouldn't go away. That's when he realized that the face staring at him was real.
"You!" sneered Dinobot, slashing at the bot infront of him.
"So I see you remember me."
"Barely" snared Dinobot eyeing Silverbolt menancly.
"You don't remember what I told when you were in that bar."
"Why do I need to remember what you said. You are a threat to my kind, and you must be destroy!"
Dinobot transformed into his beast mode and jumped onto Silverbolt. They begin to start fighting, rolling around on the ground. They soon rolled into the glade.
Silverbolt managed to pull himself away from Dinobot. They stood, in battle stance, looking at each other.
Suddenly, the glade began to fill up with the glow of moonlight. The Hunter looked up into the sky and stared at the shining white surface of the moon. A transformation began to take place. The wings on his back grew longer, and ended in sharp metal points. His muzzle also grew longer. His chest expanded, and his paws grew larger. Long, razor sharp claws extended from them. He opened his mouth to reveal his deadly, sharp canines. Once the last of his transformations took place, he leaned back and howled at the moon.
"A werewolf!" sneered Dinobot. "How . . . unexpected"
Silverbolt broke off his howling at the moon, and leaped onto Dinobot. He clawed and slashed at Dinobot, creating many wounds on his body.
Dinobot sunk his fangs into Silverbolt's neck. Disgusted, Silverbolt knock Dinobot off of his neck, and threw his body against the stone.
Dinobot was terribly hungry. He knew he would lose this fight if he did not get any mech fuid soon. He eyed the cup on the stone. Even though Bessie told him not to, the voice in the back of his had told him it was okay to drink from it. Forgetting that the mech fluid in the cup was spiked, he grabbed it, and drank it's contents deeply.
Nearby, in the woods, Bessie stared at the two fighting. She was slightly amused and irritated at the same time.
"Oh no" she thought. "That fool!"
Bessie got up and walked out of the woods, and into the glade.
Silverbolt had pinned Dinobot down under him. Dinobot stared up at him, barely conscious.
"Poisin . . ." he snarled quietly. Something in the back of mind told him that it was finally over.
"Yes, poisin" whispered Silverbolt.
Dinobot blinked his eyes, and saw Bessie looking down at him. "Bessie . . ."
In a different voice, the being known as Bessie said "The name isn't Bessie. It's Black Arachnia.
She bent down and kissed Silverbolt.
Dinobot watched this and then felt his anger and jealousy flare up. He tried to get up, but Silverbolt had him pinned down, and he was also too weak. He suddenly remembered that fateful night at the bar.
With his last ounce of strength, Dinobot silently raged "Bessie . . . Black Arachnia, you tricked me!" He beared his fangs at her. "I dont know why you did this to me, *cough* but I hope you burn in the Inferno for it!!!" With those last hateful words, Dinobot died in agony.
Silverbolt looked at BlackArachnia angrily.
"This is the 5th one this year Black Arachnia!"
"So" said BA.
"Why is it that every 4 months, you have to pick up some mech and turn him into your vampiric lover!?! I thought I was your lover!?! You know how much I hate it when you do this!!"
"Your no fun Bowser! Besides, don't get too worked up. Your still my one and only true heart. Just don't forget, I'm a black widow, and I need to eat. I care about you enough to take the liberty of getting another mech to eat, instead of you."
BA placed a kiss on Silverbolt's cheek. She hungrily looked down at Dinobot's body, and began to feast.
THE END
