Comet &Moon
Comet belongs to me, and so does Moon. (even though Moon isn't in this chapter) Other than that, disclaimer: I don't own Transformers! (Primus I wish I did!)
Oh yeah, and I'm not sure if orns are really Earth days, but since this is my story, what I say goes!
Flames are not appreciated, but they are accepted if they are LIGHT. Also, I do not accept flames or compliments from the same person.
The first several chapters are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before the war even started, just so ya know.
Well, here goes!
Chapter One, A Bunch of Fun
"Orion Paxy!" a young, silver-colored sparkling femme cried out. She was only a foot tall, and absolutely adorable. The sparkling was created only thirty orns ago, (Orns are Earth days) but already was quite a handful.
"Comet, stop running away!" a young blue and red robot chased after his little sister, with his younger brother Mega Blast close behind him. Mega Blast and Orion Pax truly loved their younger sister named Comet, but she was very annoying at times.
"Meggy and Paxy chasing after me!" Comet sang loudly, running around their home on Cybertron. She sped past Jazz, Ratchet, Ironhide, Chromia, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Rumble, and Frenzy. They all saw only a silver blur followed by Orion Pax and Mega Blast. Mega Blast would usually be training at the gym with his "followers," but today he decided to take a day off.
"Don't start singing that annoying song again!" Mega Blast roared, increasing his speed.
"Meggy and Paxy chasing after me!" Comet repeated. "R-U-N-N-I-N-G! Yes they were, but they weren't, fast enough to catch Comet nuh-uh!" she cackled.
"There goes Comet's song…" Jazz, a youngling, sighed and chuckled, while Ratchet looked mildly disturbed. Ironhide had no expression while Chromia grinned. Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were laughing their sparks out, while some of Mega Blast's "followers", Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp did too.
"Who's gonna catch me tonight?" Comet yelled out so her two twin brothers behind her could hear her question. "Orion caught me last night, so it's your turn Mega Blast!"
"I'm already ahead of you!" Mega Blast jumped up. He was still young, probably only half grown, but he was already seventeen feet tall. Orion was the older twin, but Mega Blast was bigger, taller, stronger, and more ambitious. Mega Blast transformed into his interstellar jet form, but it still got him dizzy sometimes when he transformed. He knew how to use his nitro and accelerator, but he got his CPU light-headed sometimes. He was still training and working on it, and right now he thought he could handle transforming so he can catch his little sister who was so small that she was almost impossible to see.
"Hey! No cheating!" Comet complained as she felt Mega Blast's bigger metal hands closing in around her small form.
"Comet has been taken down!" Mega Blast triumphantly called out. Starscream snorted, while Skywarp and Thundercracker smirked and sniggered.
"I have not!" since she was so small and just a silver blur, Comet ducked in between her brother's large fingers and squeezed out. "Oww," was all they heard before the silver blur had vanished.
"Primus, now where did she go?" Orion sighed.
"I think I saw 'er silver form sneak outta the rec room door," Jazz pointed to the exit. "I'll help ya get her."
"Thanks Jazz –" Pax started.
"But that won't be necessary," Mega Blast finished the sentence, but not how Orion was going to.
Jazz shot him a dark look. "Hey, I dunno why ya don' like me, but since ya don' I don' like ya much either. But I do like your little sis and I'm gonna help catch 'er whether ya want my help or don'." With that, he followed after where he thought he saw Comet leave.
Orion didn't say anything to Blast, but rather followed Jazz. With a scowl, Mega Blast soon followed after the two mechs.
"Why do ya s'pose Comet keeps playing 'hide-and-can't-find' Orion?" Jazz curiously asked the dockworker.
"I…I guess she's bored," Pax answered. While Mega Blast had chosen the road down to becoming a general or some other military officer to protect Cybertron against any enemies, Orion Pax went looking for a peaceful job.
"Bored?" Jazz laughed. "She gets all th' attention she wants from me, Bumblebee, Sunny, Sides, Rumble, and Frenzy! One of us is always with her, if not Firestar!"
"Thanks for looking after her when I don't have the time," Orion warmly smiled.
"Enough chit-chat! Now, Jazz, where did you see Comet go?" Mega Blast interrupted.
"Hey, I don' have x-ray vision on all th' time, Blast! I only saw her leave th' rec room!" Jazz answered coolly.
"You're a big help," Mega Blast spat. Outside the rec room was a hallway that separated to two other hallways. Several Transformers were walking and talking, spreading rumors.
As Mega Blast headed towards three of his other followers, Soundwave, Buzzsaw, and Laserbeak, Orion and Jazz continued down the left hallway.
"Your brother's seriously gotta chill sometimes Pax," Jazz shook his head. "He's jus' a hunk o' solid ice!"
"I know," Orion sighed. He and Jazz stopped next to Kup and Ultra Magnus, who were walking past them heading to the rec room.
"You fellas haven' seen lil' Comet, have you?" Jazz asked them.
"'Fraid not," Kup shook his head.
"Has the little troublemaker gone loose again?" Magnus asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, like she does every night," Pax responded.
"Good luck finding and catching her!" Kup and Magnus both called back as they continued walking.
"Thanks, we'll need it!" Jazz and Orion followed the hallway down to where the rooms for recharge were located.
"Underneath my recharge bed is one of Comet's favorite hiding spots," Orion told Jazz. "She already scared the functioning circuits out of me twice by surprising me with a quick grab on my arms at night."
"Wow, she's a sly lil' one, isn' she?" Jazz chuckled.
"Too sly," Orion agreed. "But since she's a foot tall sparkling and my baby sister, she gets away with it."
"Aww, Pax, you're too –" Jazz started.
"ORION PAX!! GET YOUR AFT TO PROWL'S ROOM RIGHT THIS MINUTE!" Prowl's angry yell cut the silver robot off.
"Uh-oh. I smell that Comet has gone on the wrong side of Prowl!" Orion led Jazz to Prowl's chambers, where they could already hear Comet's whining.
"But Prowlie, can't ya be nice to me for once?" Comet complained. She was being held up by her tiny left foot, and Prowl didn't look happy. The eight foot tall mech was sitting down on his recharge bed, and holding Comet in his right hand.
"'Prowlie'?! Stop picking these things up from the slaggin' twins!" Prowl yelled. He was massaging his left leg with his left arm when Orion and Jazz entered his quarters.
"Comet!" Orion called out.
"Paxy!" Comet sounded delighted. Prowl stood up and limped over to the two mechs. Orion was eleven feet tall and Jazz was five feet tall. He held up the dangling form of Comet to Orion, who caught her.
"Don't let that little one go, Pax," Prowl advised the taller mech. "She's too dangerous to let her loose on Cybertron. She almost removed very important wires from my left leg that would've made me a one-legged mech!"
"Prowl, take a chill pill! Ratchet would always patch ya up!" Jazz patted Prowl's shoulder plate. "Take it easy on Comet, will ya? She's only 974 orns younger than ya!"
"I know," Prowl sighed. "I need to go get Ratchet to fix my leg anyways…"
Orion glared at his little sister, whom was hiding behind Jazz now.
"Paxy, don't look at me like that," Comet begged, wrapping her arms around Jazz's left leg.
Orion sighed and blinked. He knelt down and allowed Comet to run into his arms and give him a hug.
"You're too soft, Orion Pax," Prowl shook his head with wonder. "I don't think I'll be able to be nice to my younger sibling – if I even have one. Primus, I don't think my circuits could even stand a younger piece of energy bouncing after me everyday!"
Jazz and Orion laughed while Comet looked confused. The young silver sparkling hadn't been paying attention to what Prowl was saying until he said "bouncing after me everyday!" she had no idea what he was talking about.
The four Transformers were heading back to where Ratchet was in the recreation room when Laserbeak and Buzzsaw flew over them.
Comet gasped. "Beakies!" Before Orion could stop her, she jumped up and clung onto a very surprised Laserbeak.
"Oh great," Orion sighed as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw flew off to where undoubtedly Soundwave was waiting – maybe with Mega Blast.
"At least they're headed to the rec room too," Prowl pointed out.
"Yeah, but she's being taken there by th' two bird brains an' not being escorted by us fine mechs!" Jazz crossed his arms.
"It doesn't make a difference – she's going to the rec room anyways," Prowl retorted.
"Yeah, but she may jump off o' bird brain anytime an' get loose again!" Jazz followed after the two cassettes in a run with Orion close behind.
"Ah slag, you're right!" Prowl took off after them. He nearly crashed into Bluestreak and Dirge, while the two ahead had crashed into Bluestreak and Dirge.
"Yo, Laserbeak!" Jazz called after the bird. "Hold it righ –"
He trailed off when Laserbeak perched himself onto Mega Blast's shoulder plate, while Buzzsaw landed on Soundwave's. Comet jumped off Laserbeak and went around Mega Blast's head.
"There you are, Comet," Mega Blast greeted his sister. Laserbeak and Buzzsaw both transformed into cassettes and entered the tape player. Jazz and Orion arrived in front of Mega Blast with Prowl just a little behind.
"Honestly Jazz, can't you do anything as simple as finding Comet?" Mega Blast sneered.
"A) It's not simple. B) I didn' see you moving your aft around! And C) she could've been anywhere in th' base an' you weren' doin' anythin'!" Jazz shot back.
"I was preoccupied," Mega Blast defended himself.
"How? Gloatin' ter Soundwave abou' how ugly your armor is now because you can' take care o' yourself?" it was Jazz's turn to sneer and Orion and Prowl laughed.
Mega Blast narrowed his red optics .He was created with red colored optics, Orion was created with blue colored optics, and Comet was created with silver colored optics. Right now Comet was having fun – rearranging some of Mega Blast's wires on the back of his head, unnoticed by anyone until –
"Why you little cretin!" Mega Blast stepped forward to grab Jazz when Soundwave called out, "Mega Blast, warning: Comet has –"
"Haha!" Comet jumped off her brother's head and onto Soundwave's. "Too late for a warning!"
"Why yes, Jazz, your silver armor does look very find today," Mega Blast nodded.
While Prowl and Jazz exploded into fits of laughter, Orion had a very hard time stifling laughter at his brother's very unusual manner. Comet had programmed him to become the most polite Transformer, and it did not suit him at all!
Prowl had fallen to the ground with fits of laughter, but he stopped and warily looked up at the slowly approaching Mega Blast. Instead of hitting him, Mega Blast extended his hand down to Prowl.
"Need a hand, friend?" Mega Blast asked.
With genuine shock, Prowl's mouth dropped. Soundwave was also full of shock, and didn't notice Comet jump off his head until she landed next to Prowl and Mega Blast.
Unknown to the group, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe were secretly video recording everything that was happening. The twins were dying of laughter, but they were determined not to miss anything.
"Well, take his hand," Comet whispered. Prowl, still gaping, looked at her with amazement. Then he slowly allowed Mega Blast to help him up, while Jazz gaped the entire time.
As Prowl straightened himself, Mega Blast flashed him a rare smile before turning to head inside the rec room.
"Whoo-hoo Comet!" Sunny and Sides laughed and whistled, clapping too. Of course, they revealed their presence after Mega Blast had closed the huge doors to the rec room.
Orion, Jazz, Soundwave, Prowl, and Comet turned to the shadowy corner near the left side of the recreation room doors. Sunny and Sides emerged from the darkness, coolant leaking out of their optics, hiccupping with laughter.
"Hey Sunny and Sides!" Comet allowed herself to be picked up by Sides as he hugged her and gave her a pat on the back.
"That was rich, Comet!" Sunny laughed.
"Yeah, I never imaged Mr. Grumpy Circuits would call Prowl a friend – no offense – let alone help him up!" Sides cackled, and then hiccupped. "Ah, this is good!"
Comet giggled while all the mechs except Soundwave exploded into laughter. The unemotional tape player just entered the rec room too, but eavesdropped on the robots conversing outside. He was trying not to look conspicuous – just leaning casually (A/N: Does casually work for Soundwave?) against the walls next to the doors and recording everything that was being spoken outside. Just to make things look more normal, Ravage was dispatched and was sitting next to Soundwave, purring when he was petted. Ravage and Soundwave were also keeping a close eye on Mega Blast, who was talking about battle strategies with Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker.
"You're right, this is rich!" Prowl laughed.
"How did you do that Comet?" Sides asked. It was now quiet, as everyone waited expectantly for Comet's answer.
"Okay, so everybody knows Comet's Great Escape that happened tonight when Mega Blast caught me, right?"
After everybody nodded, she continued:
"Well, I was bored, so I decided to pick on someone I hadn't yet – someone who usually doesn't have a very short fuse: Prowlie."
"Thanks a lot," Prowl frowned as Sunny and Sides snickered.
"So I crept inside Prowl's quarters secretly. He was getting ready for recharge, since it is pretty late now as it was then. I went over to Prowl's leg and was fiddling around with his wires when the big guy found me!" Comet dramatically explained.
"You know, I am still here…" Prowl trailed off.
"So then Prowl opened his big fat mouth and almost destroyed by audio receptors calling for help!" Comet glared at Prowl, who glared right back.
"I do not have a big fat mouth!" Prowl ignored the side snickers and the sound of Orion coughing.
"Yes you do! Anyways, Orion and Jazzy came in and saved Prowlie's sorry little aft," Comet smirked.
"How dare you!" Prowl yelled.
"Where did you learn vulgar language like that?" Orion's smile was gone.
Comet gulped and pointed to Sunny. Sunny jumped in surprise and pointed at Sides. Sides squeaked and pointed at Jazz. Jazz quickly shook his head no and pointed back to Comet.
Orion rubbed his head while Prowl sighed.
"Anyways!" Comet continued. "Prowlie, Paxy, and Jazzy were escorting me back to the rec room when Laserbeak and Buzzsaw flew by overhead. Laserbeak was closer, so when the two were taking a circle back I jumped onto Laserbeak and held on before jumping onto Mega Blast's head. Now, my two brothers love me very much," she smugly smirked, "so I usually get away with everything. I figured that Mega Blast would get mad at Rumble being on his head but not his dear little Comet. I was naturally right."
"What do you mean by 'naturally,' Comet?" Orion asked suspiciously.
Comet just grinned slyly and didn't answer his question. "So when Jazzy was arguing with Mega Blast, nobody was paying any attention to me. I was bored again, so I secretly opened up a control switch on Mega Blast's head that let his armor up so I can see his wires. I don't know why he didn't fell it – probably because Jazz was making him short-circuited, but anyway….I was thinking to myself, 'what should I do? Should I be evil or should I be nice?' It wouldn't be any fun if I was nice and didn't do anything to him, so I put in a little virus. Don't worry it's not harmful at all. All it does is make him become very, very nice. Mega Blast wasn't very nice to anyone except for me, and although I still liked that (and still do) I wanted to know what would happen if Mega Blast became nice. So I put in a password that only I know – one that would get rid of the virus. Until I enter that password, Mega Blast will remain as the nicest and most polite Transformer ever!" Comet declared proudly. Then she sighed, and motioned for her older brother to pick her up. "That's all," she finished.
"Wow! That's incredible, Comet!" Sunny whooped while Comet beamed.
"Truly ingenious," Sideswipe nodded.
"I know darling, I know," Comet laughed.
While Orion looked down at his sister who was against his chest plate, the other mechs – including Prowl – laughed.
"I kinda like this new Mega Blast!" Sides announced.
"'Kinda'? I love this new Mega Blast! Not – not that kind of love...y-you know what I mean, right?"
"Of course, Sunny! Don't be such a dope!" Comet cracked up with laughter.
"Hey, I'm not a dope!"
"Why don't you just leave Mega Blast like this?" Prowl suggested. "Everyone likes it!"
"I'm not that mean, Prowl," Comet rolled her optics.
"Hmph," Prowl crossed his arms.
"But I'm not shutting the virus down anytime soon!" Comet assured them. "Now, let's go in the rec room and find out what my dear older brother is up to!" she jumped out of Orion's arms and led the way inside.
"This is perfect for blackmail," Soundwave heard Sunny whisper to Sides, who energetically agreed.
"Who knows when Mega Blast will act out of character again?" Sides laughed.
"Mega Blast is talking with Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker!" Comet pointed. Indeed, the four soldiers were still talking about battle strategies, but Starscream noticed that Mega Blast was being very….strange. He wasn't yelling at him, he wasn't interrupting him, and he seemed eager to listen to all of their ideas. That was a first.
"You're absolutely right, Starscream!" Mega Blast nodded.
"…I…am?" Starscream repeated. He looked and sounded surprised at Mega Blast's approval of his idea.
"Yes! You proved an excellent point! Why haven't I acknowledged your brilliance yet?" Mega Blast wondered aloud.
"Yes…why…haven't you?" Starscream exchanged puzzled looks with Skywarp and Thundercracker. They didn't know what was up with Mega Blast any more than he did.
"Hahaha!" Sunny and Sides laughed. The twins had joined Bumblebee, Rumble, and Frenzy. Those three were watching the new Mega Blast with shock. Comet and Orion followed while Prowl went to get his wires in his legs back into place by Ratchet.
"Ah, Orion!" Mega Blast had noticed his brother enter the room. "Have you decided to join?"
"Join what, Mega Blast?" Orion asked.
"Oh, silly me, I haven't asked yet, have I?" Mega Blast grinned, making his way over to Orion. Behind him, Starscream was having a sip of energon. However, when Mega Blast had said, "Silly me," Starscream choked. Skywarp and Thundercracker coughed and clutched at their midsections. The three Cybertronian jets were older younglings – not even full grown yet. Bumblebee, Rumble, Frenzy, Sunny, and Sides were all younglings too. Chromia, Firestar, and Ultra Magnus were all older younglings while Orion, Soundwave, Mega Blast, and Ratchet were young full grown mechs. Kup and Ironhide had already been full grown mechs for one hundred sixty-nine orns.
"No…you haven't," Orion slowly answered.
"Did you decide whether to quit being a dockworker and join the army?" Mega Blast asked.
"Oh…" Orion took a step back. "As of right now, I'm going to remain as a dockworker."
"…I will respect your decision then," Mega Blast answered.
Literally, the entire room was now watching the new Mega Blast. Starscream gaped – good thing he was getting this on tape, and so were Sunny, Sides, Rumble, Frenzy, Jazz, Bumblebee, and Prowl. This was perfect blackmail for the future, in case it was needed.
"You…will?" Orion was still so surprised at what his little sister had done to his younger brother.
"Yes…" Mega Blast turned. He walked over to w here Sunstreaker and Sideswipe was watching and secretly video taping. They squeaked and looked up at him innocently.
"Sunstreaker, I forgot to mention how majestic your paint job is," Mega Blast complimented. "I guess the thought to tell you slipped out of my CPU."
Sunny gaped the same time his brother did. Then Sunny grinned.
"Why thank you Mega Blast! That's the first nice thing you ever said to me!"
"It is? Very odd," Mega Blast thoughtfully rubbed his chin.
Sides snorted, and then Sunny nudged him hard.
"Now, now, gentlemen," Mega Blast had turned around to get a cube of energon, but he turned his back to the twins. "Let's keep our hands to ourselves."
Starscream snorted loudly, while the other jets sniggered.
"What's with Mega Blast?" another young Cybertronian F-15 jet, Thrust, made his way over with Ramjet.
"It doesn't matter; we must get this on tape!" Starscream smirked. "This may be our only chance!"
The other jets sniggered and nodded.
The rec room was once again alive with noise. Not everyone was watching Mega Blast anymore. They had just merely shrugged off his change with "he just had an accident and is now nice." Those that were still watching were either video taping and recording or just watching.
Chromia, Ironhide, Colossus, and Darkwing were near the table where the energon cubes was located in the rec room. Mega Blast took one, downed in, and got another one. He turned to the blue femme, who paused in talking with Ironhide to watch him.
"Would you like it, my fair femme?" Mega Blast presented the energon cube to her.
Comet was leaning on her brother, her sides heaving with laughter. Orion had to deal with laughing himself and both his little sister and Jazz laughing against him. Everyone else who was recording could NOT believe what they had just heard – neither could the four at the table.
"E-excuse me?" Chromia stammered.
"Would you like this energon cube, Chromia?" Mega Blast repeated.
"I… I, um…thanks," she slowly answered. She accepted the energon cube and drained it. Ironhide watched Mega Blast walk away through narrowed optics.
"Oh Comet! This is jus' too good!" Jazz laughed. Sunny, Sides, Rumble, Frenzy, Jazz, and Comet were all leaking coolant because they were having too much fun. Prowl, Orion, Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Ramjet, Thrust, Colossus, Darkwing, and Ratchet weren't laughing as hard as the ones leaking coolant. Soundwave and Ravage didn't think they could handle watching Mega Blast like this anymore, but their desire to leave wasn't strong enough yet.
Walking to the exit, Mega Blast turned his head back around to call over his shoulder, "Starscream, come with me!"
When he turned his head back around, he collided with Red Alert, who was talking with Inferno. Red had stopped politely so Mega Blast could go around him, but since he hadn't been watching where he was going, he stepped right into him before Red could move.
Mega Blast groaned and muttered something inaudible, while Red Alert massaged his pulsing foot.
"Watch where you're goin', Mega Blast!" Inferno hotly advised.
"Right…Sorry about that." Mega Blast paused, waiting for Starscream to catch up with him.
"…You a-are?" Red Alert asked, complete surprise etched everywhere on his face. Inferno looked caught off guard too.
"Yes, of course," Mega Blast asked. "That was my mistake and I am apologizing for it."
"Comet, stop this nonsense," Soundwave commanded.
"What? Why?" Comet looked at the tape player to her brother, then back.
"He's probably right, Comet," Orion told his sister. "I don't think I can stand Mega Blast acting like this anymore. I do like this side more, but everything's awkward. That isn't really who our brother is."
"Aww, you're probably right…as usual," Comet pouted. She sighed, and then began walking towards her brother.
"Aww come on Soundwave! Why'd you hafta say that?" Rumble complained.
"Yeah, this is perfect blackmail!" Frenzy added.
When the twin cassettes immediately silenced after a glare from their daddy, Sunny spoke up:
"And why'd you hafta encourage her to go put the password in to stop the virus, Orion? You didn't hafta and you weren't supposed to!"
"Sunstreaker – it's probably better this way," Orion explained.
"How?" Sides challenged.
"COMET!" Mega Blast screamed. He was now back to normal. "COMET, HOW DARE YOU!"
Laughing and screaming, Comet ran around the rec room, being chased by Mega Blast. While everyone roared with laughter, Sunny, Sides, Bee, Jazz, Rumble, and Frenzy all sighed.
"Well, the old and mean Mega Blast is back in business," they all sighed simultaneously.
Sigh! Typing nine pages of fun can be quite annoying at times!
Well, how'd ya like it? This is the first chapter, named "A Bunch of Fun." You should know why by now. Tell me your opinion on it, and if I should post up Chapter Two, which is called "Prowl's Surprise." Want a sneak peek? Too bad! What a hint? Well, it has something to do with what he said… Oh yeah! And don't worry; Mega Blast will eat his own words in the next chapter!
Some of you may know me previously as silvertaiyoukaistar. Well, I'm Jazzs Girl 4ever now! They won't let me put an apostrophe in Jazz's for some reason… (pout)
Oh well.
I hope you don't get confused by my story! Remember, I made up Mega Blast to be Megatron's name before he became a Tron and the leader of the Decepticons! Comet is my OC, and I own her! I don't read many other Transformers/Beast Wars fanfics, so if anyone else has a Comet or a Moon in their story, I'm so sorry but we own different Transformers then!
The action won't start building up until around Chapter 4 or Chapter 5, FYI! I don't know which one…
Moon…Moon…I don't know which chapter to put her in…but you'll see!
I can' make Jazz's accent! Should I even give him an accent? I don't think I will…maybe only a little bit though.
Until next time!
!:D Jazzs girl 4ever!:D
P.S. Don't expect me to update often! I have rare time on fanfic! But I promise I will do my best!
