"Once upon a time…" hehe it's funny how many stories start this way. Well this isn't one of them. The name's Silverspark and I'm an autobot living on Cybertron. Ever since I was a sparkling I've been alone. My parents are both dead so it's been only me. Target practice is how I let out my anger, which I'm doing right now. I shot down another one and turned to shoot again when I saw Optimus Prime standing there.
"At ease soldier." He said. My gun turned back into my metal arm.
"Hey, Optimus; what's up?" I asked.
"What is your name?" he asked. I forgot that we haven't been formally introduced yet.
"Silverspark," I answered and held out my hand and he shook it.
"Who has taught you, Silverspark?"
"Nobody; ever since I was a sparkling I've been on my own. I taught myself how to fight." I said proudly.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to assign one of my soldiers to help you. We could always use a strong fighter like you." I shrugged.
"Sure, why not?" and he walked away. I started practicing again as I waited for him to return with my new instructor.
"You Silverspark?" I heard a deep voice ask behind me. I turned and saw a 'bot that I've never met before.
"That's me." I said.
"The name's Jazz; Optimus sent me to teach you to fight; although I see that you're already quite good at it." He said and I shrugged. Then he walked up behind me, "there's just one thing. Your canon seems to be aimed a little to the right. Hold your arm like this." And he moved my arm so that it was aiming at a target. I shot and hit it dead in the spark. I stepped away from Jazz to face him.
"Thanks; I'll keep that in mind." I said. He was staring at my scar that ran across my face. He walked up and touched it.
"What happened?" he asked. I backed up uncomfortably. What is with this guy?
"When my parents were killed by Megatron Starscream attacked me but only managed to leave a cut before fleeing." I said. Jazz looked like he was thinking about something. "What?"
"Nothing," he said. "I've got work to do; see ya." And he walked away. I stood confused at what just happened. He's acting like he fragging knows me! I ended up meeting him every day for practice. We actually became great friends.
Everything changed. Megatron attacked us one day, he hit hard and it was chaos. I shot a couple down but I wasn't very good with hand-to-hand combat. Starscream flew up and smirked.
"Once again it's just you and me, Silverspark." He said with an evil tone. Looks like it's time to face my fears and take him down.
"I'm going to rip the spark right out of your chest." I growled. He snickered and shook his head.
"You're over confident." Then he lunged at me. I was barely able to dodge him but he shot rockets at me. I wasn't able to dodge the last one and I fell to the ground; clutching my wounded side. "But don't worry, I won't hold it against yo-" but he was getting shot at. He flew away like a coward once again. I sat up and saw that his attacker was none other than Jazz. He ran up towards me and helped me stand.
"Jazz, I need Ratchet." I said. I removed my hand from my side and saw that it was covered in energon. I started to pass out and thought that I'd never make it to him. But Jazz picked me up and carried me to the autobot med bay. When I awoke from recharge I noticed that Jazz was the only one in the room.
"I have something I've been needing to tell you." He said.
"Go for it." I said as I sat up painfully.
"When I first saw you, you were a new sparkling. Optimus knew, since he was a prime and knew this sort of stuff, that someday you and I would be…" I stared at him confused. Be what? He finished, "sparkmates." My optics widened and I finally understood everything. That's why Optimus wanted him to become my mentor! That's why there was a strange feeling in my spark ever since we first met. He never told me about this…no one did.
"W-what? Who else knows?" I stuttered.
"Only Optimus and I." he said. Ever since that day on Cybertron, things had become different between us. Eventually we did become sparkmates; but in secret. We didn't want the decepticons to find out so only Optimus knew about this. When Cybertron was destroyed we were torn apart. Ever since then I've sworn to find him once again.
So this is a mix of Transformers: Prime and the movies because Jazz is in here but's in the Prime universe.
