OKAY! Well, what first? I guess I should explain WHERE the hell this idea came from, etc etc.
One: Where did this idea come from?
... A dream... -shifty eyed-
Two: WHAT is the idea?
I guess I COULD tell some of it... But then that'd spoil it... So I ain't sayin' nothin' 'bout it! -smiles sweetly-
Three: What's made up in this?
... Well, some of this is spoilers, but you'll easily figure it out. All I'm saying is that Silicon City and Lithium are MADE UP. I needed two cities, and I made them up. Also, I am UNSURE if Decagon was a real city. I read a fanfic that had Decagon in it. So, if it is, tell me. If not, then whoever made it up made it! -sticks tongue out-
Also, I will spoil this 'cause it's a major part in this story. Plus, you'll find out in about five seconds(Maybe ten seconds if you're a slow reader like me).
I gave transformers a high school.
Now, I know that some have used this before. I know it's been down because someone on deviantart made a comic of Skyfire and Starscream in high school(Slash-free might I add? Though it is still well done). So, yeah. No flamin' me dudes.
Four: Do I own ANYTHING in this?
Yes. I own DarkCloud, SilverCloud, and some Sparklings that'll come along.
Five: Did I alter anything?
Yes. I altered the Cassettes' ages and some genders. Eject is now equivilent to a Five year old. Steeljaw(what the hell is he? I dunno. I think he's a lion...) and Ramhorn(Ain't he a Rhino?) are now toddlers and twins. And Rewind is now about 19 months old (This is all in human standards. In Cybertronian... I don't know). Also, Soundwave and Blaster are brothers. Not twins, 'cause that'd suck, but brothers. Also, originally, I was going to have a nameless mech say a line, but I'm having Soundwave do it, to make the hurt seem real to Blaster. And, for Soundwave's cassettes, the ages are altered to:
Ravage: 8 year old
Laserbeak and Buzzaw(dunno how to spell it): 7 year olds
Frenzy and Rumble: 2-3 year olds
Ratbat: Sparkling
So yeah, again, when I give ages, they're in human standards. Hell if I can figure it out in Cybertronian standards... -snorts- Though, if you can, I will love you forever if you tell me. -laughs- Also, the gender thing. I made Ravage and Laserbeak femmes. Why? I dunno. I just did. Now arguing or griping about it. Got it?
Six: WHY did I do this?
'Cause Blaster needs some damn love, that's why! Plus, I keep seeing that Blaster and Soundwave are always lovers, bonded, or ex-lovers. But NEVER brothers. So, that's why I did the brother thing. And, my dream stuck with until I wrote it down(Only got part of it done, but I ain't going completely with what I write. If it turns out, I may not even use some of the same things I write down. Mostly because I'm typing more than what I have written...) and now I'm doin' this.
Anymore questions, please feel free to ask in a review or pm. -grins-
Disclaimer: If I owned Transformers, there would be an entire freaking saga on Blaster and Soundwave and the cassettes. ... And there'd be LOTS of slash in it.
Claimer: I own the high school, Silicon City, Lithium, the idea, the Sparklings that will come and DarkCloud and SilverCloud. And the nameless mech who may or may not reappear. -shrugs- I also own the bar that this chapter takes place in, 'cause it will reoccur later.
Now, let us begin!!
Class of 9247, Senior Prom. Some bar in Lithium
Blaster sat in his seat at one of the tables. With him was his half Vorn older brother, Soundwave, and his best friend, SilverCloud. SilverCloud grinned and pulled at Soundwave's arm, trying to get him up.
"Come dance with me man." SilverCloud said.
"Answer: Negatory." Soundwave moaned. Soundwave wasn't monotone like he is today, but he does still speak the same(If that didn't explain anything, the Authoress will explain at the end of chapter).
"Scared?" SilverCloud teased.
"Assumption: Incorrect. Reasonings: Blaster will be alone." Soundwave said.
"Ah, don't worry about that." SilverCloud smiled as his twin older brother, DarkCloud, started to approach. Once the dark mech was there, he nodded to his brother and Soundwave, before turning to Blaster.
"Blaster?" Blaster looked up from his datapad. He heated up when he saw it was DarkCloud.
"Y-yes?" He asked. The mech he had been crushing on since freshman Vorn was actually talking to him!
"Would you like to dance with me?" Blaster's optics widened and he looked to his brother and SilverCloud for an answer.
"Answer: Yes. He would love to." Soundwave answered for him. DarkCloud smiled and soon Blaster found himself dancing with DarkCloud in the middle of the dancefloor. Before they could actually dance, though, someone tugged him.
"Mind if Ah steal'm firs'?" Blaster turned and saw his friend from elementary school.
"Jazz!" Blaster smiled. He turned to DarkCloud. "Don't worry, I'll come back. I promise!" DarkCloud nodded and the red mech went with his friend.
"How ya been Blast?" Jazz asked as they danced. Blaster grinned at the old nick name.
"Okay. What about you? How was Silicon City!" Blaster was determined to know. Jazz grinned.
"Ah found mah second half." He said. Blaster immediately caught the hint.
"You mated!? To who? Can I meet them!? Is it a fem-bot or a mech?! What about-!"
"Whoa, whoa! Chill Blast!" Jazz laughed, "First, yeah. Ah did. Second, his name's Prowl. 'Round mah age. Maybe a half Vorn younge'. Third, yeah. He's here, an' Ah answered four already." Blaster looked around and saw an unfamiliar mech sitting at a lone table, watching them. Blaster smiled and waved. They nodded in return.
"Cool, so other than that, how was Silicon City?" Blaster asked.
"Ugh, horrid. It's a nice place for th' scenery, but some of th' crimes are bad. And some of th' folks ain't too kind either. S'how Ah met Prowl. His creator's beat th' snot outta'm. Met'm at th' hospital." Jazz said.
"Aww... That sucks." Blaster frowned. Jazz laughed.
"S'what Ah said! But Prowl's just always said 'if it didn't happen, Ah wouldn't have met ya'. An', he's right." Jazz shrugged. Blaster nodded.
"True." He said as the song ended.
"Now... Ah think Ah should return ya to th' mech ya were gonna dance with." Jazz said. Blaster heated up and Jazz grinned. "Details in five Clicks. Starting now."
"Crush since Freshman Vorn. SilverCloud's brother, DarkCloud. End of details." Blaster said in five Clicks as he was returned to DarkCloud. Jazz made a motion of saying 'read my thoughts' and Blaster complied.
'Ah am SO gettin' details after!' Jazz thought loudly. Blaster smiled weakly as the next song came on.
"Who was that?" DarkCloud asked. Blaster noticed it was a slow song and heated up more. He hoped DarkCloud didn't take it the wrong way.
"He was my friend back in Elementary School. He moved an Orn after High School started(2). I haven't seen him in a while. Turns out, he mated while away in Silicon City." Blaster explained.
"Silicon City? Really?" DarkCloud whistled, "That place is as populated as Iacon." Blaster nodded as the words of the song drifted into his audios.
/How am I supposed to live without you.../
"U-um... Yeah... And..."
"Shh... Blaster, there's been something I've been meaning to tell you..." He looked up at his bestfriend's brother.
"Yeah...?"
"I-!"
"I can't believe DarkCloud went through with a horrible dare of asking my baby brother to dance!" Blaster heard Soundwave shout. Blaster looked up at the mech he liked, maybe even loved.
"How... How could you...?" Blaster whispered, pulling away.
"No! It's not like that! I-!" But it was too late. Blaster pushed him away and ran off, crying. Soundwave glared at DarkCloud, not sporting the visor and battlemask he does today. Jazz stared in horror. Then he and his mate ran after Blaster, SilverCloud torn between staying with DarkCloud and Soundwave, or going with his old friends and new one.
Lithium, Six Vorns Later (After Ravage and Laserbeak and Buzzsaw were created, but before Eject)
Blaster hugged his single-parent brother goodbye. Blaster and his brother had moved to the darker side of Lithium Five and a half Vorns ago. Blaster hadn't the Spark to leave Lithium, but he didn't want to stay near where DarkCloud and SilverCloud lived. And now, he was leaving for Decagon, to join the Autobots.
~Unka Blasta, when you comin' back?~ Laserbeak asked her uncle. Blaster smiled weakly.
"Not for a long time sweety... Don't worry, if Soundwave needs help, he can go find an old friend." Blaster kissed each of his nieces' helms, and then his nephew's.
~We gonna miss you.~ Buzzsaw, the youngest of the twins and the three, said. Blaster felt his Spark breaking.
"I know... I'm gonna miss you all too... Now, be good for your Mommy." He told them. They all nodded and Blaster hugged Soundwave again.
-Stay safe baby brother.- Soundwave told Blaster over their private telepathic wave. Blaster nodded.
-You as well. The 'Cons'll do anything to get a telepath on their side. Keep hidden, and you'll be safe. Get out of Lithium soon.- He said. Soundwave nodded and Blaster turned to his friends, Jazz and Prowl. The two were already officers in the Autobot Army(joined a Decacycle ago), and had come about two Orns ago, looking for recruits. He jumped for the chance to leave and help protect his brother, his brother's kids, and his friends, even if his friends didn't know he hadn't left ages ago.
"Ya ready Blast?" Jazz asked softly. Blaster nodded.
"Yes'sir." He said. Prowl nodded and they left for Decagon.
Decagon, Two Decacycles Later
Blaster finally made it Decagon, following Jazz and Prowl. He wondered why he wouldn't be a normal front-liner, but Prowl said Prime would want to meet a telepath.
He was going to meet Optimus Prime!
"Whoa..." Blaster's optics widened at the Decagon Base. He didn't know it'd be so big!
"Come on." Jazz said. Blaster followed the two to what Blaster guess was the meeting room. There he saw many mechs. Probably all the officers.
"Hello. My name is Optimus Prime." The tallest mech said. Blaster was officially terrified.
"H-hi." Blaster stuttered. He heard one mech whisper to another.
"He's barely Jazz's age! We can't have someone that young! It's bad enough Jazz and Prowl are so young!" the one whispered. Blaster didn't dare look at them.
"Blaster can take on anyone!" Jazz said on his friend's behalf. Blaster heated up. Now he was terrified AND embarrassed... Great...
"I'm sure he can, Jazz. However, we would like to make sure he is Autobot material." Optimus said. He turned to Blaster. "Have you ever been outside of Lithium?" Blaster slowly shook his head.
"Ya have too!"
"It was because we got lost on that field trip! Doesn't count!" Blaster hissed back.
"Surely, it does. Tell me, how did you get back?" Optimus asked.
"J-Jazz asked around. When one knew, he wou-wouldn't help, so I-I read his mind." Blaster said.
"You can read other's thoughts without permission?" Another mech, a white and green one, asked. Blaster nodded.
"Y-yes."
"Interesting... How well are you at communicating with others?" Optimus asked.
"U-um... I-I..."
"He's shy, as ya can tell. Guess he ain't outgrown that yet." Jazz cut in, rescuing his friend, "But once he's got yer trust, he's as much of a social robo-pup as me." The mech flashed Blaster a grin. Blaster heated up more.
"U-um..."
"Jazz is right. It took me the better half of three Vorns to get his trust, then he got as bad as Jazz." Prowl said.
"We can't wait three Vorns!" A red and white mech exclaimed, "Besides, how do we know he doesn't already work for the Decepticons!?" Blaster hissed.
"I would never betray my brother and his children by joining those aftfraggers!" The group stared at them in awe, except Jazz and Prowl.
"Don' worry 'bout'm. Red's just Paranoid. Like yaself." Jazz said.
"I am not Paranoid!" Blaster and 'Red' protested.
"... I'm going to have to do a full check on him, aren't I?" another red and white mech sighed.
"Nah. Blaster's fine, jus' don' spook'm." Jazz grinned. Blaster glared.
"Shut up Jazz! You left me for Four Vorns! SilverCloud wasn't exactly the best mech to stop the bullies you know!" Jazz frowned.
"Those afts still bugged ya?" He asked.
"Yes." Blaster glared, "And if it weren't for my brother, then we woulda been offlined losers the first week after you left."
"Slag..." Jazz frowned, "Ya kept that from me for Six Vorns?" Blaster nodded.
"Even when Soundwave threatened me to tell you."
"So you're good at keeping secrets, even with your best friend." Optimus said.
"Yes." Blaster said, heating up once he realized he just argued with Jazz about something that happened Ten Vorns ago.
"Good... Blaster, we could use your talents in our Communications department. I would like for you to have the job." Optimus said. Blaster was shocked.
"I... I..."
"You will still be a front-line mech, just not as often." Optimus said, "And you will report directly to me and the other officers here."
"O... Okay..." Blaster said. Jazz grinned and slung an arm over his friend's shoulders.
"Welcome to th' team Blast!" Jazz all but shouted.
yeah, about Soundwave. Look, he doesn't speak with monotone. He does show emotion. And I took away his visor and battlemask because he's not part of war yet. But, yeah. Soundwave still sometimes talks with the "Assumption: Correct" computer-like talk 'cause... Well cause I wanted him to. So... Yeah...
Elementary School... Look, I live in America, so there's technically three schools before college, not counting pre-school. Elementary, Middle(Or Jr. High) and High School. I just combined Middle and Elementary. My brother's Private school does that, so bug off. And no, they didn't go to a Private School, some public schools do that.
Please review! And I don't take flames very well, just so you know. -pout-
