A/N- This is my first ever fanfic. Transformers don't belong to me except for Sunstar the seeker. Also for anyone who's curious, Sunstar is green with red and gold edging, bright yellow cockpit and a typical grey and white seeker face.
CHAPTER 1.
Long, long ago, there was a seeker of immeasurable power and wisdom. All the other seekers looked up to him for guidance and direction, one could say that he was almost like a god to them. His name was Sunstar, and this is where the story begins…
Thundercracker looked out over his homeland with sadness. The once glorious and beautiful city of Sheff-Latta also known as City Of The Seekers now lay in ruins along with so many others across Cybertron.
"Thundercracker." The blue seeker jumped at the sound of his name.
"Lord Sunstar! What are you doing here?" he spluttered.
"Take it easy TC. Don't move so fast or you might rupture something and I'll end up having to fix you." Sunstar commanded sternly, crossing his arms.
"Yes, sorry sir."
"Thundercracker I want you to come with me right away. I have a very special mission for you."
Thundercracker just stared blankly at the green seeker commander. "But…Why me?"
"Don't argue with me soldier, just do as you're told." Sunstar snapped with more aggression than he intended.
Thundercracker nodded wisely and without another word, transformed and took to the skies after his leader.
XXXXX
Sunstar transformed and touched down gracefully, the light cast by the evening sky bouncing off his green and gold armour, making him appear godlier than ever.
Thundercracker on the other hand, attempted to land but instead clipped his wing tip on the edge of a tower and ended up tumbling head over heels to the ground.
THUMP!
Sunstar just shook his head sadly at the blue pile of wings and thrusters at his feet and waited patiently for Thundercracker to get up. TC instantly lowered his gaze to the ground, (doing that in front of anyone is pretty embarrassing, but looking like a complete block-head in front of the greatest seeker that ever lived was purely humiliating!)
"I'll be right back." Sunstar quoted, starting forward then abruptly turned back. "And don't move unless you get ambushed by Autobots or the sky starts falling on you! In either case, just start screaming and I'll come to your aid."
"Ha, ha, very funny Sunstar." Came the sarcastic reply.
XXXXX
When Sunstar returned, Thundercracker immediately sensed something was not right about him. The normally proud and no-nonsense seeker commander was walking with a strange slouching posture and his features looked grim. Thundercracker also saw something very small and black tucked under the 'god' seeker's wing.
Suddenly, the black…thing moved and…beeped?
Sunstar's expression was serious and sad at the same time.
"Um…I'm afraid there's been a change of plans my dear friend." Thundercracker noticed that Sunstar was trying to avoid looking him in the optics, which probably meant bad news for him.
"What's wrong Sunstar?" Thundercracker asked, feeling nervous and confused.
"Well, There's been an incident and now I need you to do me a big, big favour my friend…"
Thundercracker's spark was pulsing so hard; he thought it would burst through his cockpit anytime now. He really didn't like where Sunstar was going with this…
Suddenly, the green seeker looked up and said in his commanding tone, "I need you to look after this little fella for me."
Sunstar lifted his wing to expose a tiny black seeker, whom upon feeling his cover vanish started whimpering and beeping in panic.
Thundercracker just stood there dumbfounded, his wings drooping and his mouth hanging open so wide, that Sunstar was almost sure an Insecticon could fly in unnoticed.
"Thundercracker…Thundercracker?!" Sunstar's voice was tinted with fear; maybe this wasn't such a good idea!
Finally Thundercracker said in a strangely high-pitched voice, "You want me to do what sir?!"
Sunstar gave a huge sigh of relief (he hadn't scarred his best soldier for life after all…at least not yet…) and proceeded to explain.
"I was heading off to summon the finest of our seeker elite forces, which I was going to have you command, to launch an aerial attack on Iacon City…" Sunstar paused as he noticed Thundercracker's jaw was hanging open (even wider than the first time) before continuing, "When I came across this poor little sparkling terrified and all alone. I couldn't just leave him but I don't have time to baby-sit either."
"But why me sir?" Why couldn't Sunstar get someone else to do it? Thundercracker thought miserably.
"Because you are one of my highest ranking soldiers and my truest friend TC, so I know that you can carry out this little task for me." Sunstar said almost teasingly.
Upon hearing this, Thundercracker's wings suddenly perked up again and his optics shone. "Do you really consider so much of me?" He couldn't believe what he was hearing! Sunstar, lord of all seekers, really thought of him that way?
"Are you serious?!"
Sunstar smiled warmly and simply stated, "I've never been more."
Thundercracker went silent again, contemplating on what he should do now. He looked at the little black seeker tucked smugly under Sunstar's wing, and noted that it had finally calmed down and was now staring cutely up at him.
"Well…I suppose I could manage somehow," Thundercracker finally gave in and besides; the little seeker was kind of cute. "But this isn't anything permanent is it?"
"No, of course not! I knew I could count on you my friend." Sunstar said cheerfully. "Here you go."
He handed the sparkling to Thundercracker who accepted it hesitantly, then asked, "Does it have a name?"
Sunstar smiled at this and quoted, "He doesn't talk much yet, but he knows how to say some things. When I asked, he told me his name is Skywarp."
"Hmm…Skywarp?" Thundercracker repeated, holding the squirming sparkling at arms length where he could observe it from a safer distance.
Skywarp stopped wriggling for a moment and stared back at him. Then without warning, he smiled and pounced onto Thundercracker's chest, wrapping his little arms around him tightly.
"Mommy? Mommy!" he chirped happily.
Thundercracker glared at Sunstar with a horrified expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Sunstar was almost falling over from laughter. "I think you two will get along just fine." He transformed and took flight before turning around and adding, "Good luck Thundercracker!"
Thundercracker just stood there and watched the sleek, green jet speed off across the sky; his wings were once again drooping.
"What are best friends for? Huh." The big blue seeker muttered to himself.
Skywarp just hiccuped and buried his head in Thundercracker's armour.
A/N- So what do you think? Chapter 2 will be much more exciting. Skywarp is quite a little demon…
