On planet Cybertron…
It was a regular day for Cybertron; the sky was its normal starry purple and its people continued to go from place to place at their own varied paces. For a few of its residents though, the day was anything but normal. And we bring ourselves to a certain family of misfits as they watch the daily news.
Five younglings, four mechs and a femme, sit on the floor of their small home around a small monitor screen as they watched the daily news program.
On the screen the news anchor was talking about a missing space bridge maintenance crew that has been found on a planet called Earth, showing each of the crew member's photos.
They showed each member in chain of command order:
First is a tall red and blue mech also the leader of the repair team, Optimus Prime.
Second is an old red and white mech, the medic of the team, Ratchet.
Third is a big green and black mech, the space bridge technician, Bulkhead.
Fourth is a slim black and gold mech, a ninja bot who had joined the team shortly before they had gone missing, Prowl.
The fifth and last member of the crew is a young yellow and black mech, the scout of the team, Bumblebee.
After the news announced the last member of the crew three of the younglings, the set of twins, one colored white with black accents and his arm and leg armor is checkered, and the other is blue with orange accents and flame decals where his brother is checkered, and the young femme, who is colored a bright red with bright yellow highlights and two doorwings that are red with a yellow trim, jumped up and cheered.
"He's alive! He's alive!" the twins chanted as they danced around, the femme giggled and began chanting with them.
The oldest of the five, a red mech with white highlights, just laughs as he watches his younger siblings celebrating the news.
The second oldest, a mech with brown armor and green highlights and a pair of goggles sitting on his head, continues to watch the monitor as they say more about the recently found crew. Unfortunately his siblings were being too loud.
The mech turns around and yells, "Guys be quiet, they're saying something!"
The young bots quiet down to see what their friend is listening to.
The oldest looks toward the worried bot and asks, "What's wrong Q?"
Q-bit or Q to his siblings listens intently to the information being sent through the monitor screen, "They're saying that the crew will not be returning to Cybertron."
"WHAT!" the twins yelled joining their brother in watching the screen.
The little femme, unsure of what is going on, walks up to oldest mech and asks, "Ace? Does that mean daddy won't come home?"
Ace, the oldest of his siblings smiles at the young femme and picks her up. Instead of answering her question he turns to Q-bit and asks, "Have they explained why?"
Q-bit turned off the screen and turned to his siblings, "They said that the planet where brother's team is happens to be the new front lines for the war against the decepticons. He can't come home until the end of the war."
The flame decaled twin drops to his knees, tearing up, "It isn't fair."
"Chase…" said the checkered twin before being cut off by Chase.
"No Chess," Chase said tears now freely flowing, "We just got him back and now they sent him away again!"
Chess wraps his arms around his Chase, feeling the sadness projected through their twin bond.
"Ever since we lost our families, Bee has looked out for us, he took care of us, and he raised and protected us when no one else could." Chase continued, "He helped us learn how to survive and taught us what we needed to know. He is our brother and Firefly's father! They have no right to keep him from us!"
Chess looked to his brothers, "I agree. We cannot keep letting this happen. We need our brother to come back, if not for us," He looked at the young femme in Ace's arms, "then for our sister."
"But how? We don't have a ship and we don't know where this 'Earth' is either." said Ace as he set Firefly back on the ground.
The boys all thought about a solution, while their sister played on the floor.
"Is it possible to get our own ship?" asked Chase.
"That is improbable. We don't have the credits even for a small vessel and it would take too long to work for the amount of credits needed even with all of us working." said Q-bit.
"What about if we steal a ship?" Chess asked earning himself glares from his brothers and, surprisingly, his sister. "What?"
Firefly looked at the checkered twin, her dislike for the idea evident on her face, and pointed out, "Daddy won't like you stealing."
Chess lowered his head, somewhat ashamed for even mentioning the idea, "True."
"Is it possible to find out when the Elite Guard would send a vessel to Earth?" asked Ace.
"It is possible with the right amount of hacking." Q-bit smiled evilly, "Luckily, you're related to the best hacker on Cybertron." With that Q-bit left the room and came back with a small compact laptop. In no time at all, Q-bit hit gold, "Oh, I am good. There is an Elite Guard ship that is scheduled to leave for Earth in two days."
Chase and Chess looked between their brothers in expectation after connecting the dots.
Ace turned to them and smirked, "Pack your bags my siblings, we are going to Earth."
