This is my response to this challenge by LovePsycho:
Magical Girls + Transformers = serious freakin' fun!
All you have to do is grab an existing Magical Girl show that you like, place the Transformers into landing/protecting near them(G1 mostly applies here)and mix them well! Or, you could make your own Magical Girl character(s) and go from there. Either way, you get bonus points for;
Cheesy Speeches/Catchphrases
Hearts
Sparkles
Improbable Weapons
Pretty and Indestructible clothes
Dark Magical Girls as Heroes at the beginning of the story(after switching sides)
Interspecies crushes(on the Magical Girls part)
Other EVIL alien race(not Vok or Quintesson)
Wacky Attack Names
AN: … I didn't just take a magical girl show… I made it more of a magical girl convention really. Seekers shouldn't look so pretty and that's all I have to say!
Chapter 1- A Cyber Star is Created
Starscream was going to kill Megatron. This was it. The straw that truly broke the camel's back hard enough that even surgery couldn't undo it. After everything he put up with, the stupidity, physical and verbal abuse, being used as a sex toy, constant defeats, all with minimal back stabbing Megatron had finally done something that Starscream simply could not tolerate.
Megatron had discovered a new, pure form of energy. That would have been fine and good except, the energy was coming from a human, of all things. That would have been okay if they could have just killed the girl, extracted the energy and defeated the Autobots, but nooooo. He would find one of the few who had actual magic, the stuff that created the very universe. And that did this to Starscream.
"Megatron?" Starscream called out, his tone almost… conversational.
"Starscream." Megatron's on the other hand was strained, as if he was trying not to simply fall over laughing at his second.
"I am really going to kill you for this. No more games, you will die." Starscream warned, voice low and dark.
"Aw, come on Sailor Screamer! I kinda like 'em." Skywarp chimed in, twirling in a circle watching as his purple and black skirts swished behind him.
Starscream was stuck between the urge to say 'You would' and the urge to beat his wingmate into the ground. He was saved from both options by his much more sensible other wingmate who smacked the purple seeker upside the head and said, "You're the only one." Thank Primus for Thundercracker. Otherwise, Skywarp would have died long ago and (with Starscream's luck) he would be stuck with a third that was even more annoying.
"But TC, it looks good on you." Skywarp protested with an adorable pout that got him out of a lot of trouble when used on the right people. Mainly, his wingmates and (occasionally) Soundwave. If Starscream was to be totally and completely honest… The blue collar and white gloves was neither here nor there as it was nearly the exact same shade as Thundercracker himself (although the fact that the design was one that the humans called 'sailor' was mildly disturbing), but the blue and white skirts that reached mid-thigh and the huge blue bow that framed his aft was actually…cute. Overall, Starscream completely didn't mind the look, it was actually enticing. Now, if he hadn't been in a similar outfit, life would have been grand.
"Ano… do you mind helping me out?" The small human whom they were trying to kill asked shyly. Oh yes, imagine the Decepticon's surprise to find out they weren't the only ones trying to destroy the girl.
"Why would we want to do that?" Frenzy piped up from where he was snickering behind Soundwave.
"Yeah, just let them do all the work considering that we were gonna kill you anyway!" Rumble added. That damn cassette was full blown laughing. On the ground and everything. Starscream could feel the energon in his lines boiling. The blue cassette would pay. Just not while Soundwave was around…
"Sakura-chan! Lookout!" Another small human called out to the… magical one (the term was melting Starscream's processor, honestly).
"Fly!" The human gasped out in alarm using her pink star staff to hit a… was that a card? Wings sprouted on her back as she jumped up to dodge the acid that the monster spewed. Starscream also jumped up and out of the way, although his attempt at transforming failed.
"What the frag? I can't transform!" He screeched. Screw the fact that he could fly in Root mode, not being able to transform was annoying as Pit.
"You don't need to transform! You need to save the girl." A distinctly unfamiliar voice called out from a tree sitting just a few feet from the fighting.
"It would be appreciated!" The girl called.
"And why should I do that?" Starscream retorted, reaching out to stop Skywarp from joining the fight.
"Oh for heaven's sake! Lady Sakura, would you mind using the Time card?"
Once again, the human used her wand to tap a card and the monster stopped. In fact, a lot of things stopped. Rumble and Frenzy's laughter for one. The wind for another. It was distinctly disconcerting.
"Thank you Lady Sakura." A small, red-tailed hawk flew over to them and landed on Skywarp's shoulder vent. "It will be much easier explaining things to these idiotic half built machines without having you get hurt as well."
"No problem I think…" The girl, Sakura, laughed lightly, scratching her head.
"I am Nebulas, your animal familiar, and I have much to tell you Sailor Cyber Star, Sky, Thunder." The bird puffed his chest up and looked at them best he could from Skywarp's shoulder.
"Make this quick, I've got experiments to conduct, revenge to get, evil tyrants to overthrow… I'm a busy mech."
Nebulas glared at the red seeker. "As Lady Sakura has stopped time for the moment, I'll take as long as I please. It's not like you can die waiting."
"But I might die of boredom!" Skywarp protested jokingly.
Nebulas shook his head, wondering why the gods cursed him like this.
"You've got your work cut out for you Neb." The floating stuffed toy familiar of Sakura commented.
"Kero. How nice to see you." Nebulas commented dryly. "Do you know what ley lines are?" he asked the seekers.
"Lay-who?" Skywarp retorted, shaking his hips. He was much more interested in how flowy the miniskirts were than the conversation. Skirts that short just didn't move that much. Wasn't enough material to move that much. It was like these clothes had their own rules or something.
Thundercracker looked at Starscream. "I do and that's good enough." Starscream declared.
"No it's not! Ley lines are the trails of energy that make up the universe. There are negative and positive ones. It's the reason why your attacks are stronger depending on where you are. But the galactic ley line generates the energy for all the ley lines. For all the universe."
"And you're telling us this because?" Thundercracker finally spoke up.
"It's your job to protect it. The future of the universe depends on it."
Starscream snorted. "I'm a Decepticon. I don't do protection."
"Well, the powers reacted to you! Only the chosen ones can use them you know. I don't make the rules, I don't control the powers. If you got a problem take it up with Primus."
"Maybe I will." Starscream retorted.
The world flickered for a moment, wind teasing Starscream's wings.
"Um… I can't stop time indefinitely…" the human girl interrupted.
"I'll make it simple. Let that monster kill her and destroy this point in the galactic ley line and there'll be no more energon, or Cyberton, or Decepticons." Nebulas pleaded.
"I'll do it!" Skywarp declared loudly. Why not, it sounded like fun.
"I can't hold out any more!" Sakura announced as time rushed back to normal. She collapsed to the ground panting. More acid flew towards them. Instinctively Skywarp warped over, grabbed Sakura and warped out of the damage zone.
"What the slag! That melted my plating!" Starscream screeched.
"Skywarp! Give me the girl. We'll harvest her energy and defeat the Autobots!" Megatron ordered.
Starscream attempted to fire his null rays at the monster. Attempted, being the verb. "What the frag!"
"Those things are lethal, you can't use them when upgraded." Nebula said belatedly.
"They are not lethal! I designed them myself."
"To organics they are."
"Then what am I supposed to fight with?"
"The powers of love, peace, happiness, justice, any positive emotion you can think of!"
"I don't have those."
"We don't have those." Thundercracker interrupted.
"Skywarp! The girl." Megatron demanded again.
"No! I can't." A loud shriek of pain filled the air. Skywarp's plating singed and melted from the acid.
"You did not just hurt my wingmate." Starscream said in disbelief, voice even darker than when he threatened to kill Megatron again. "Only I am allowed to hurt him and that's only when he's being an idiot." Starscream's body began moving without him thinking, the gestures as ingrained in him as if he did them every day. "You need to learn how to back off, play nice, and share. I am Sailor Cyber Star and in the name of love, friendship, and justice, I will punish you!"
AN2: Okay, I really didn't mean to have more than one note, but then again nothing about this has come off the way I planned. Like that cliffhanger. Or that vague resemblance to a plot. I took the challenge and kinda ran with it. I took the 'princess' thing from Kingdom Hearts, the 'galactic leyline' thing from Outlaw Star, Sakura from Card Captor Sakura, the Scouts from Sailor Moon, and added just enough of my own bull that it made something close to sense. At least it did to me. I really wasn't going to make them magical girls but after reading By Crescent Light (go read it its fragging awesome) the bots as sailors got stuck in my head. Forgive the blantant rips off Sailor Moon. Forgive the corny 'Sailor Cyber Star' ect, but it's 3 in the morning and I didn't want him to be just plain Starscream. The cyber is just cuz he's Cybertronian. I kinda didn't really follow the challenge but, I hope you guys like it anyway.
