Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers no matter how much I wish did…..damn Hasbro
This story is based seven million years after the events that took place in Return of the Lost Warship
Voxian City, Earth….
After the war between the Autobots and Decepticons had ended, the leaders of both factions put plans into progress to build a city on Earth that they could call home. Thus it came to be that one million years after the end of the war that Voxian City was completed, built from the pieces of Nemesis and the Ark. Its inhabitants lived in peace with the natives of the planet Earth until the human race died out when a terrible plague overcame them...young and old, none survived. There was however, a remnant of the race that still remained in the form of younger (by Cybertronian standards) transformers.
Six humans had been given Cybertronian bodies after the war, so that they could remain forever with their friends, the combined technology of the Autobots and Decepticons overcoming any problems that in the past, would have prevented such a transition taking place. The Autobots had learned well from the original 'Autobot Spike'incident. So it came to be that Sparkplug, Spike, Carly, Daniel, Raoul and Astoria left their human forms behind to join the ranks of the Transformers. In their creation, the human race would live on in the memories of the inhabitants of Voxian City.
After the war, the Cybertronians decided that to prevent any political based wars in the future, their leaders would be elected rather than just inheriting their position through bribes and blackmail. They had all learned from the mistakes made by the Cybertronian Council all those millions of years ago.
As it was, nothing unexpected or out of the ordinary ever happened in the city and everyone continued on with their lives, happy to have settled into a form of normalcy...as we all know though, nothing stays normal for long.
It all changed when the form of a hauntingly familiar red and white jet appeared on the horizon
Monitor Room, Security Building, Voxian City...
Those on monitor duty had long grown bored of watching the screens waiting for something interesting to happen. The unfortunates who had been designated monitor duty for the day included Skywarp, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, who were being punished for an ill though out prank that Megatron had managed to walk right in to. They wished that they were out patrolling the outskirts of the city, taking in the sights...after all, patrolling these days was nothing more than an excuse to cruise around and do nothing. Skywarp in particular wished he was out flying, he had not been the same since Starscream and Nitrofire were declared offlined. All he felt now was an overwhelming emptiness that nothing seemed to be able to fill. At least flying helped him take his processor off it. Little did any of them know things were about to get more interesting.
"Hey you slaggers...anyone there? It's Jazz here reporting in from the south sector"
"Jazz, this is Sideswipe? What's up?"
"Ramjet and I have seen something real strange flying round in the skies out here..."
"Strange in what way?"
"Well there's a red and white seeker, no faction markings just flying around in circles...I think we're seeing a ghost..."
"Impossible...the only seeker that fit that description was Starscream...he's been dead for seven million years"
"Don't you think I know that...wait...hold up, there's another two seekers now, same colours"
"This is just getting stranger and stranger...we will send Thrust and Dirge out to meet you. Make contact with these seekers and escort them back here...I'll alert Optimus and Megatron. If its Starscream and he's got company...they'll want to know"
"Alright...see you back as base. Jazz over and out"
Sideswipe turned to look at the other two mechs currently on monitor duty with him. Looking over at Skywarp, it looked as though the seeker had seen a ghost. Feeling sorry for the mech, he told Skywarp to finish up for the day, after all, it wasn't every solar cycle that you hear that seekers looking suspiciously like your dead wing mate appeared in the sky.
Main Command Centre, Voxian City...
Optimus and Megatron were alerted to the fact that there were three seekers with Starscream's colouring had been found flying on the outskirts of the city. Jazz and the Conehead trine had apparently made contact with them and were escorting them to the city. Both Megatron and Optimus agreed that they would have to speak to these seekers to find out who they were and where they were from.
It also seemed that news travelled fast around the city. Everyone had gathered in the main command centre of the city to see exactly who or what these new arrivals were.
Soon, they had to wait no more as the doors to the command centre opened and Jazz entered followed by the Conehead trine and the unknown seekers hidden behind them. Optimus Prime motioned for the patrol to move to the side, once they did, there was a sharp intake of air from all gathered in the room.
In front of them stood three Primus-marked seekers, a mech and two femmes all with hauntingly familiar colours and looks. Thundercracker and Skywarp were stunned...Starscream...right in front of their optics...alive. Megatron, was also stunned by the appearance of the group. Slowly he approached them...he hoped that his processor was working just fine and that he was not hallucinating. As soon as he was close enough, he reached out and touched the arm of the mech seeker.
"Starscream...,"he began cautiously, "how in the name of Primus...YOU TRAITOUROUS SLAGGER EVERYONE THOUGHT YOU WERE OFFLINED AND NOW YOU TURN UP HERE SEVEN MILLION YEARS LATER!I SHOULD HAVE YOU THROWN IN THE BRIG FOR DESERTION..."
"Excuse me sir...,"replied the seeker in a smooth calm voice, sounding nothing like Starscream's well known husky tone, "I do not know who you are nor do you know who I am. I had nothing to do with your war"
"WELL THEN, WHO THE FRAG ARE YOU?"
"My designation is Starfire...you seem to have mistaken me for my sire"
"...what..."
"Starscream is my sire"
Well that is the end of the first chapter...later on there will be flashbacks to Return of the lost Warship explaining parts that were not included in the story...
