Alright, let's get some of the simple stuff out the way. I do not own Transformers, however I do own my OC's: Valkyrie and Blueshift.

Now, for the slightly more complex stuff. Blueshift looks essentially like a much more feminine version of the Prime Hot Shot figure, but with a slightly lighter blue and a silver racing stripe down the middle of her vehicle mode. Valkyrie, once he gets an earth vehicle, will look like the Dark of the Moon Skyhammer figure, but with light tans mixed with light brown accents. Oh, and Seligkeit is a German word meaning bliss or ecstasy.

Now, for the last little bit of stuff. Ok, first I'd like to thank Goldstreak for giving me the courage and inspiration to do this! Second, this is my first story ever, so don't bash on it too hard. Otherwise, enjoy Seligkeit!

War.

It is such a simple word.

However, just because a word is simple, it does not mean that the word doesn't carry weight.

None knew this better than the Cybertronians.

Civil war had divided them.

Their planet had become split between two warring factions: Autobots and Decepticons.

And now…

Now, we have no planet to go back to. This thought ran through Valkyrie's mind as he suddenly woke from recharge. Sitting up on his berth, Valkyrie massaged his optics as he wondered how much time had passed since he'd fallen into recharge. "Frag" was all he could say as a warning popped up on his HUD. :Energon levels at 12%! Stasis lock imminent!: Since his departure from Cybertron 5 solar cycles ago, Valkyrie's energon stockpile had been dwindling at a slightly alarming rate. Sure, he still had enough to last him at least another half a solar cycle, but if he didn't find more soon, then that wouldn't really matter. Standing up and making his way to the cargo hold to retrieve a desperately needed energon cube, Valkyrie began wondering why Shockwave had chosen to send him of all bots to go out into the middle of nowhere and investigate the sudden reappearance of Megatron's life signal. It was probably just a glitch. Megatron's life signal had disappeared several millennia ago. Then again, so had everyone else who'd gone with Megatron in pursuit of the Autobots and the Ark. Before he could dwell on it much further, the ship notified him that he was approaching his destination. A planet simply called Earth. Valkyrie quickly made his way to the ship's cockpit to begin making final preparations for landing. However, before he could finish doing so, something hit the ship, decimating half the thrusters and tossing the ship into a rapid and uncontrolled descent into Earth's atmosphere. Valkyrie struggled with controls as he attempted to get the ship back under his control, but to no avail. As he braced himself for impact, Valkyrie was thrown out of the ship from the initial impact, landing well over a hundred yards away. Valkyrie watched as his ship tore itself apart as it impacted repeatedly with ground before he blacked out from the pain. The last thing he saw before his optics offlined was the faint glimpse of a portal opening and a blue figure exiting it.

As she exited the ground bridge, all Blueshift could do was gasp. The level of destruction was far worse than anyone had predicted. Wreckage was strewn all over, and the fire was quickly spreading to the surrounding forest. Without a moments hesitation, Blueshift quickly commed base.

"Optimus, get Inferno! I need him out here now or this fire is going to get out of control!"

Optimus calmly replied with, "He's on his way. Do you need anything else, Blueshift?"

"No, sir."

"Can you make out if this was an Autobot ship?"

"Negative," Blueshift said, "but I'll begin sweeping the area for survivors."

"Roger that, Blueshift. Good luck."

Scrap, the German government's going to be pissed when they hear about this, thought Blueshift as the ground bridge opened and out came Inferno. "Where do you want me?" he said gruffly. Blueshift merely rolled her optics and nodded in the general direction of the now-uncontrollable blaze. "What, that little thing? Pssh… no problem," he said as he quickly rushed over and began dousing the flames.

Well, what do you think? As I said this is my first story and I really appreciate any reviews! But please, try and go a little easy on me if I screwed up anywhere. I'm aiming to upload a new part every 3 days, but that is subject to change.
