chapter 1 Birth
Smokescreen was born to a femme call Elita one the wife of Optimus Prime. She loved him very much. Optimus loved him very much. He was his son. The cutest thing he ever saw. He hoped his son would grow to be a strong mech.
Then Optimus had to leave. He had to fight in the war and aid the Autobots. Smokescreen was already crawling around.
Elita was caring for her son when the Decepticons attacked her home. Elita ran off with her son and placed him in an escape pod. "Remember Smokescreen I love you, and that you are the son of a prime. You are destined for greatness." she said and sent it away. Elita was killed by the Decepticons.
Optimus came in and fought off the Decepticons along with some other Autobots. He found Elita dying. He took her into his arms. "Elita please don't die I love you!" he said.
"I love you too." she said.
"Where is our son?" Optimus asked.
"I sent him to safety in a escape pod..." Elita said then died.
Optimus cried at the loss of his beloved wife. Soon he began to look for his son but he had no time. He never found him. He was so sad.
Smokescreen was taken to an orphanage by a kind Praxian soldier. Smokescreen was growing up wondering why he was left abandoned. By the time he turn 12 he went to train at the Elite guard. He managed to do well. When his Training finished he became Alpha trion's personal guard.
Smokescreen came to like Alpha Trion he enjoyed his teachings and saw him as a true friend. Then Iacon fell under attack. Smokescreen was ready to fight he wanted to prove himself.
Then everything went black. Smokescreen woke up on a Decepticon ship. He knew he had to escape! He gave a guard the slip and managed to escape. It was a long distance pod and was knocked into stasis.
The pod came crashing down. Smokescreen climbed out of it. "Oh man, where am I?" He said. He decided to scope the area. Then heard some commotion there were more Autobots and Decepticons were attacking! Smokescreen decided to help.
"Down in front!" he said. But then he hit the trail of energon with stray shot.
There was a big explosion. "Woo yeah!" He said. He saw Optimus who he looked up to for a long time.
Optimus looked at Smokescreen. He knew those optics they looked like the ones belonging to his son. But he never knew where he was or what had happened to him.
"What is your name?" Optimus asked.
"Smokescreen sir!" he said.
Optimus was shocked. His name was the same as his son's but it couldn't be him. Far as he knew his son had probably perished. He saw Smokescreen's shoulder. "I see you have had training from Cybertron's elite guard." Optimus said.
"Yes it was nothing more than a boot camp I never got a graduation ceremony." Smokescreen said.
"There was a war." Arcee said.
"I got security detail in Iacon's hall of records." Smokescreen said.
"In the hall of Records of all places Optimus don't you find this suspicious?" Ratchet asked Optimus.
"Smokescreen what was your assignment in the hall?" Optimus asked the youngster.
"Guarding Alpha Trion during the last days of the war." Smokescreen said.
"You served under the master archivist?" Optimus asked.
"I admit it was a little boring watch the back of an old bot all day instead of kicking Con tale pipe." Smokescreen said. Then saw everyone staring at him. "Sorry, the Big A turned out to be a great teacher and a true all he is the one who petitioned the high council to make you a prime. " Smokescreen said.
"Rafael activate the ground bridge." Optimus said.
"That is all you needed to hear?" Arcee asked.
"If my former mentor shared this information he must have considered Smokescreen a trusted ally." Optimus said.
Miko asked Smokescreen several questions and Smokescreen explained what had happened to him. He didn't tell most of his story from his early childhood because he knew that would be long winded.
It has been a couple of days and Optimus had a lot on his mind. Smokescreen resembled his son and had the same name but how could it be him. June saw Optimus looked troubled. "Is something wrong?" she asked him.
"I have a lot on my mind." Optimus answered. "It's about the new recruit Smokescreen there is something familiar about him." he said.
"What is familiar about him?" June asked.
"He looks like my long lost son and has the same name as him too." Optimus said.
"I didn't know you were a dad." Jack said.
"It's long story I was there when my wife Elita gave birth to him. I spent sometime with them and then I had to leave to fight the Decepticons then when I was heading back a couple of weeks later I found my house under attack by Decepticons. Me and the other Autobots managed to drive them out. I found Elita she was badly wounded she died in my arms." Optimus said.
"What about your son?" Miko asked.
"Before Elita died she told me she put him in an escape pod and sent it off. So I didn't know where it landed so I ended up searching in some of the orphanages hoping one them was my son but my duties as prime kept me from finishing my search." Optimus said. "I don't know what to think now." Optimus said.
"Optimus I can run a CNA test if you like." Ratchet said.
"That would be helpful old friend." Optimus said.
Ratchet took Smokescreen to the med bay. He took a sample of Smokescreen's nano cells.
Smokescreen was ready to go on a mission. He and Arcee were going out on a mission. Smokescreen came back with the first omega key with Optimus. Ratchet had the results of the test.
"Optimus he is your son." Ratchet told him.
Optimus was shocked. The other Autobots had heard of Optimus' long lost son and it was Smokescreen.
Smokescreen came back from a drive and Optimus told him Ratchet's finding. "Why was I abandoned?!" Smokescreen said.
"You were not abandoned your mother sent you away in that escape pod to save your life." Optimus said. "I was there when you learned to crawl. I wish I could've been there to protect you and your mother." Optimus said.
"I'm sorry for snapping." Smokescreen said.
"It's okay you had a right to be angry." Optimus said. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you I wanted so badly to find you but it was hard with my duties as Prime I'm sorry." he added.
"I forgive you I just can't believe Optimus Prime is my father." Smokescreen said.
"I know it is a lot to take in but I know we can work things out." Optimus said.
Smokescreen hugged Optimus. Optimus then wrapped his arms around his son. "I want to know about mom." Smokescreen said.
"You really do?" Optimus asked.
"Yes every detail." Smokescreen said.
"Sure I will tell you all about her my son." Optimus said.
