Chapter 1: The Beginning

Disclaimer: I, Starsong008, do NOT own Transformers G1. If I did I would make Starscream leader of the Decpticons. XD

First Fanfic! Yay! No flames, but constructive criticism is ok. This chapter is a bit dark but the others will be funnier.

I woke up, dazed and alone. What happened? Fear washed over me. "mamma, dada…" I whimpered. The last thing I remembered was a bunch of bots coming into our home in Vos. My parents hid me with my five brothers and five sisters, all of them were younger than me. I was three (cybertronian) years old while all my siblings were between one and two. We hid in an upstairs room, one of my maids rooms, I think. I heard fighting coming down stairs, then a scream. I realized that it was my mamma. Tears welled up in my optics. Shortly after I heard another shot being fired, and a groan that I recognized as my dada's voice. My siblings looked at me with looks of fear and confusion. The next moment, three of the bots stormed into the room. My siblings and I screamed. "DAD, DAD, HELP!" one of my sisters, skydance, squealed." sister, what'll we do?!" my eldest brother, lazerbolt whispered. "I don't… AHH!" I said as one of the bots picked me up by one of my sensitive wings. "Is this the one?" my captor asked a bot that was white and grey. "Yes preceptor, and address me as Blackout." He replied to my captor. I turned my head to look at the bot that had caught me. He was red with blue optics, like mamma. His chest had a bluish, glassy plate in it with a strange symbol. On his shoulder was a long, pipe like thing with a glass end.

"What are we gonna do with the others, Blackout?" The final bot said. "Spinnster, our orders were to get the one with the mis-matched optics," Blackout said.

I looked down in shame. I knew that my left optic was red and my right optic was blue. I was often teased by my siblings about that. "So therefore, kill them." Blackout's command hit me like id just had cold energon thrown on me. "Noooooo!" I screamed.

Spinster looked at me, slightly upset. "yes boss." He said as he readied his missile launcher. I screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" As he let a missile go. The blast and the looks on my sibling's faces were the last thing I remembered before I blacked out, probably from Blackout knocking me out.

The memory brought tears to my optics, and soon I was full on bawling.

Quite sometime later, a red and white bot came in turned on a light. "hello, little one. You may call me ratchet. Im going to make sure that you're all right" he said in a kind tone. "Where…" I began "are we?" Ratchet finished. "sorry, im not allowed to tell you." "What's going to happen?" I asked shyly. Ratchet gave me a sad smile. I became scared. I started to whimper.

"shh, shh, don't cry…" Ratchet said kindly, but that just made it worse. The fact that he didn't say 'you're going to be all right' scared me so much that I started to shake. "Keep still or you'll get hurt." Ratchet said sternly. I was silent as Ratchet finished his examination. "Ok, you're fit and healthy" He said as he picked me up. "Where are we going?" I asked. "I'm taking you to meet the lead scientist." He said. "Scientist?" I asked innocently

"Yes. You see, we are conducting an experiment called Project Starsong. We have found nine other little sparklings like you help us. Your designation as of now will be 008." Ratchet explained. I could tell that he wasn't telling me everything, but I decided not to pester him for answers since he was three times bigger then me.

While we walked, we passed many rooms with signs on them saying things like 'lab 11' and 'do not enter'. After a while, we came to a door with a sign saying 'Conference Room' on it.

"Ok, this is it," Ratchet said. 'Now, behave, don't talk unless you're asked a question, don't cry, don't whine, don't whimper, and, be brave."

He opened the door and we walked into a large, oval room. Ratchet set me down on a table in the centre of the room. On the table were nine other sparklings: seven to my left and two to my right. In front of the table stood a white bot with red fin like things on his forehead.

"I am Scientist W," he said."You have been gathered here by order of Lord Megatron to become his next generation of troops."

He continued his slow, boring speech for quite some time. Every time he mentioned Megatron I shivered. I had met him once before. As it turned out, I was about to meet him for the second time. "I welcome, Lord Megatron!" Scientist W announced as I heard the door hiss open behind me. A tall, black and white mech walked through the door and looked at each of us on the table. He stared at me longer than the rest. "You should go and get the labs ready, Wheeljack" Megatron said to Scientist W. I noticed a bunch of brands in his hand, ten in all. He came over to us, one by one, and branded us with a number. Then it was my turn. Megatron looked down upon me with evil, red optics. That image was burned into my mind as Project Starsong: Experiment 008 was burned into my neck.
