Disclaimer: I own nothing, but the story line and Starshine.
Note: Oh and Jazz isn't dead in this story despite what happened in the movie.
Prowl was sitting behind his desk working on the reports in front of him, like any other day at the autobot base. He had only just recently arrived on earth after receiving Optimus Primes message two galaxies away. Instantly, he made for the new planet only to land into a disgusting mud pit, every inch of the dirty stuff getting into his servos and joints.
It took a few trips to the wash rack and one cranky medic to extract all the organic material out of all his joints. Of course Sunstreaker and Sideswipe weren't helping matters very much, often making fun of him, since they had arrived with him.
From there Prowl took over his roll again as the autobot's second in command getting the base back under control.
At the moment he was going over a report from Ironhide about the attack that happened, when his office door slid open. Prowl didn't have to look up to know who it was, since only one mech walked into the room, usually without knocking. The silver mech took a seat across from him waiting for the tactician to acknowledge him. Prowl continued on with his report before setting is aside and looking up into Jazz blue visor.
"What can I do for you Jazz, I'm very busy at the moment," indicating to the datapads currently taking up his whole desk area.
The mech grinned, visor brightening slightly. "I know, but I was sent to come get ya."
Prowl waited for him to explain. If there was one thing that he knew about his friend it was that you never pushed him to reveal anything. He also learned that Jazz liked to play games, something that really irritated some of the other autobot's on the base.
"Ah, come on Prowlie," Jazz said dropping his grin. "your no fun anymore." The tactician wasn't fazed by his attempt to push him into asking. His friend sensed this." Alright fine, be a spoilsport," using one of the many lingo's he picked up from the human organics. "Anyways, Prime sent me to tell you, that an autobot stasis pod has been spotted arriving in the earth atmosphere. It's due to touch down in about two minutes."
Jazz suddenly laughed as Prowl shot up out of his chair and disappeared into the hallways, heading towards the entrance of the base. The saboteur quickly caught up with the tactician, who was waiting impatiently for the mech. "Please refrain in the future from keeping important matters from me," he reprimanded.
The two mechs quickly changed into their alt mode, Jazz a silver Pontiac Solstice and Prowl a black and white Saleen S281, complete with police decals and sirens on the top. They took off heading in the direction where the pod was due to land. Both came upon it twenty minutes later, only to find an empty smoking black crater in the otherwise green field.
Prowl huffed as he quickly scanned the area for any signature of their fellow autobot, but came up empty.
Jazz in the meantime had jumped into the crater and was currently inspecting it, before climbing back out again. "We just missed them by ten minutes at most," he said looking around.
"Hopefully, they didn't stray to far, otherwise we'll be hunting them all night."
"Hang on, I'm picking up a faint signature," spoke Jazz. He then transformed and drove off, the second in command right behind him.
They pulled up to a cluster of trees a few miles from the landing sight, Prowl's scanners having finally picked up on the signal as well. They both changed back into their bipedal mode and waited for the autobot to show itself.
Suddenly, the sound of boosters starting up broke the silent night and they had just enough time to look. An F-22 Raptor had just flown straight up into the sky, before making a loop and heading back down to the ground. It's engines cut and the F-22 transformed, kneeling in a firing position with a gun aimed straight at the two officers.
Jazz quickly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, Prowl quickly following his lead. The autobot watched them with wearily blue optics for a few minutes, before subspacing it's weapon and standing straighter. Both mechs gasped as the jet stood and instead of a mech like they were expecting. They were instead looking at the form of a femme.
She approached them cautiously, taking in their stunned expressions. She stopped arms length apart from them. "Autobot Starshine," she introduced in a heavenly voice.
Prowl shook his head, quickly gaining control of himself. "Autobot Prowl and this is Jazz. Welcome to earth Starshine." The femme nodded her head looking back and forth between the two.
"Are you the only two or are there more?" she asked looking around the landscape.
"There are currently 36 autobot's and 27 decepticon's located here on earth."
"Any neutrals?"
"If they are, they are keeping silent from us." Starshine nodded her head, stepping back from them. "Come, we will show you the way to the base." They watched as she changed back into the F-22 Raptor, her boosters starting up and shooting up into the sky.
Prowl looked to his friend who wore a grin plastered on his face before the two of them returned to their car modes. Starshine flew high above them, only a speck in the dark sky as they headed towards the base. When they pulled up to the entrance, Prowl spotted Optimus Prime who was looking back and forth between his offices.
There was a questioning look in his otherwise calm optics, probably wondering where the new autobot was at. His question was soon answered as Starshine lightly touched down behind the two mech's and changed into her femme form. If the leader was surprised by the appearance of a femme he didn't show it, ushering the three of them inside.
They followed him silently, the halls appearing empty. Prowl checked his clock noting that most mechs would be in recharge at the time. Prime walked into his office, the other three doing so as well, the door closing behind the femme. The leader too a seat behind his desk, indicating Starshine to the one across from him. Prowl and Jazz in the meantime stood behind on either side of their commander.
"Now, tell me who you are?" Prime asked politely to the femme.
She sat straight up in the chair, letting no flaw touch her. "My designation is Autobot Starshine."
"What part of Cybertron are you from?"
"I come from Kaon." After she said this both Jazz and Prowl stiffened only knowing two others from that area.
Prime seemed to have noticed this as well. "Forgive me please, but Kaon was destroyed, we've had proof from a few of those who had lived there before."
At this she stared back and forth between the three mechs. "Please tell me, who these others are. I've been searching for my family for orns and if you can help me, it would be very much appreciated."
The officers looked to one another. "The two in question are our resident twins."
"Sideswipe, Sunstreaker." Starshine gasped. "They're here. They're on earth." The mechs nodded their heads and could literally see her relax in relief.
Prowl who was watching her carefully spoke. "I was not aware that they had any relatives."
She looked at him, her blue optics searching his own. "They aren't my real family, they took me in and raised me."
"Why did they take you in?" asked Optimus curious to learn more.
"My creators were killed in the early parts of the war on Kaon. Sideswipe found me on the streets and took me in, although Sunny was a little apprehensive. They raised me from a sparkling and I consider them my brothers."
"How did you become an autobot?" asked Jazz.
"I joined up with the seeker academy when they were calling for recruits. My brothers weren't to happy about it, but they supported me and joined the autobot forces as well. For a while we were happy, until the decepticon's came and destroyed our home, killing anyone and everyone in their sights."
"I lost contact with my brothers afterwards and have been searching for them ever since. My commander never let me get the chance to look for them, since we were always fighting the cons. We were some of the last autobot forces left on Kaon who kept the cons at bay, until they found our base and we were forced to flee."
She took a moment to compose herself. "We lost so many that day it was horrible, but there was nothing we could do. Their spark chambers were empty, the whole base was a grave of fallen comrades." A shutter ran through her whole frame all three mechs feeling sympathy for her. "I was one of the few who survived the attack, along with my commanding officer. The two of is traveled trying to find any others alive, but it seemed like almost everything was empty and lifeless."
"I had been to Iacon before on a training mission, but when we arrived to it, nothing was as I remembered it. So many lives lost, dead mechs, femme's and sparklings lay everywhere." This time she was crying, energon tears leaking from her optics. "They were so young and their lives were taken from them like that." She was angry now, her hands clenched in tight fist as the memories came back to her. "While we were searching through the city, decepticon's attacked us and I was separated from my commander."
"Later, I searched the city for him and when I found him he was just barely online, the lower half of his body destroyed." Starshine took sometime to compose herself. "He made me follow one last order before he died. He ordered me to leave Cybertron and search for Optimus Prime." looking up at the semi who encouraged her to continue. "He said that you had sent a message from earth, for any autobot's still alive to find you. I stayed with him until his optics darkened and his body started to gray."
"But then the decepticon's had a few searching for any survivors and I decided to leave before they found me. I left Cybertron and began making my journey here," Starshine finished.
The office was quiet as the mechs took in her tale. Optimus was first to speak. "You have shown great courage for one so young as you. We are honored to have you here and I will make sure your stay is enjoyable. Prowl," he turned to his second in command. "take Starshine to Ratchet and after that I'm sure her brothers," testing the word carefully. "will be happy to know she's here."
"Yes sir," said Prowl heading towards the door with her close behind him. The tactician lead her in the direction of the med bay, having already called the medic.
"Fragging pulling me out of recharge, just to look at a newly arrived mech." Prowl stopped at the entrance to the bay as they both heard the medic grumbling from inside. He looked back at Starshine who was trying to hide a smile, though a slight twitch of her lips gave it away. She stepped forward into the bay and Prowl followed, in time to see the medic look up and literally freeze in place.
"Is he alright?" Starshine asked looking at Ratchet.
"He's fine." reassured Prowl. "It's just that you are the fourth femme to have arrived." She nodded making her way over to one of the med tables and taking a seat on it. That seemed to snap the medic out of his shock and instantly he began checking her over, making sure nothing was wrong.
Prowl watched as Ratchet walked into his office and came back with a cube of energon in his hand. "All she needs is some energon and a little recharge, otherwise she's fine," he grunted handing the cube over to her. Starshine took it and began sipping at the energon, with the two mechs watching. When she finished Ratchet took the empty cube from her and pushed the two out of the bay.
Starshine looked back at the closed doors confused, turning to Prowl for an explanation. "He hates being wakened from recharge, since he gets so little of it with everything he has to do," he explained and she nodded her head. "Come, I'll show you to your brothers quarters, while I assigned you quarters of you own."
"If you could, I want it to be by them since I've been away from them for so long." she asked.
He nodded his head. "There are a few quarters empty by them and you can pick on which one you like," he said stopping outside the twins quarters.
She turned and looked down at him giving a smile. "Thank you for everything you've done." With that she knocked on the door, both hearing grumbling from the warriors inside.
The door hissed opened. "WHAT?" snapped a angry Sunstreaker, who glared back and forth between the two.
Starshine crossed her arms over her chest plate, the yellow mech turning to her. "Now is that anyway to treat your newly arrived sister."
