Okay, for those of you who have been reading the past effects us now, I have decided to make it better, longer, and more detailed. Please, give your ideas and review for it helps me keep my muse for my chapters.
Prologue
"Stay!" The mech growled, pulling his hood further over his head. A small femme stood beside him with her own hood pulled over her head. They pushed a small grey and red sparkling back, causing it to fall onto his back. The night was dark and cloudy, an impending acid storm on the horizon.
The three were in an alley, away from the commotion of the street merely feet away. The small sparkly tried to stand back on its pedes quick enough to catch it's parents, but it wasn't and the blast of their thrusters ignighting threw him back onto his back. He cried loudly for them but his cries were lost in the loud sounds of the crowded city.
It had been a few weeks since the incident, and the little sparkling remembered it as if it had happened days ago. He snuck along the edge of a building, ducking behind mechs and femmes as they passed before he climbed up onto a banister of a building. Had the energon vender been looking up he would've noticed the sparklings helm peaking at him, but alas he didn't.
The little gray sparkling flipping down from the banister and landed behind the mech, unseen by the many uncaring mechs and femmes that were passing him. With the vender unsuspecting of him, the sparkling reached out and snatched as many of the small cubes of energon as he could. His arm accidentally brushed against the mechs leg, alerting him to his presence.
"OI! You little brat!" The mech growled, pulling out his blaster. The small sparkling squeaked and took off with the mech hot on his heels. The larger mech growled loudly as he had to shove through the crowds, while the small sparkling weaved easily between their legs. Eventually, the gray and red sparkling lost the mech and collapsed in an alley, his alley to be specific.
The small area was neatly organized while still looking like an alley. The sparkling had specific spots where his energon would stay and where he would sleep, all of which were very well hidden. Taking a cube, he eagerly starts sipping from it, his energon reserves low from his run.
After a few more weeks, the small sparkling began to pickpocket mechs and femmes. It was easy for someone who was quick on his pedes like him. It was only when he tried to pickpocket someone who had wings like him was he caught.
"Hey!" The mech yelled, whirling around on him. The sparkling coward, expecting to get hit. A hand on his arm stopped him from running away and a kind voice made him look at the mech.
"Hey, you're just a sparkling...Why are you out on the streets? Did you loose your creators?" The mech asked in a kind soft voice. The sparkling shook his head and fidgeted. Around them the other mechs and femmes continued on with their lives, ignoring what was going on as they passed.
"Well, where are they?" He asks, just as soft though his voice was prodding. The seeker shrugged and scuffed his small pedes on the ground.
"You don't know? That isn't good." The mech whispers. He reaches into the subspace on his side and grabs a few credits.
"Here you go, just enough to take a train to the Autotropper station." He smiled and placed the credits into the sparklings small servo before standing. The sparkling stared after him, watching him till he could barely see him before he took off after him.
He didn't say a word as he followed the mech, watching as he went into an energon store. The sparkling stayed outside of the store, hiding in an alleyway as he watched for the mech. It wasn't long till he came back out carrying a few bags filled with different types of energon.
The mech was tall, taller than what was average for his age, from what the sparkling could tell but it didn't bother him, he was nicer than the others. He had wings that stayed perked on his back and a smile always on his face, even as he was bumped into. The mech interested the sparkling, causing him to follow him to his home.
"I know you're there." The mech stated as he stepped back out of his home, intent on taking a walk. The sparkling didn't show himself directly to the mech, only barely peaking out from his alley that he had hid in.
"Well, come out when you want to." He stated before he started to walk towards a small park. The sparkling eagerly followed him, though he tried to be stealthy about it. He failed miserably as he tripped and fell onto his front.
The mech instantly came over and helped him up, gently setting on his pedes even as tears filled the sparklings optics.
"Shh, it's alright, only a little scratch." He stated softly as he brushed off the sparklings knees and servos. He sniffed softly and held his slowly bleeding servos to his chest. The mech was right, there were only a few little scratches on his palms and knees but it still hurt to him.
"Here, how about we get some frozen energon?" The mech offered, laughing softly at the instant reaction from the sparkling. The sparklings small wings perked up on his back and fluttered, having never been able to try to delicious looking treat.
His scratches forgotten, he reached up and grabbed the mechs servo happily. The mech smiled and gently led him into the nearest energon store. The sparkling instantly hid behind him, clinging to his leg as if his life depended on it.
"It's alright, no one here will hurt you." He states, pulling the small sparkling in front of him as he bought the small frozen treat for him. The sparkling continued to look around nervously, though the store was mostly empty it was still something new to him.
The mech led him from the store and sat him down on a bench. "Here we go." He states softly as he sits beside him. He held out the treat for the sparkling with a small smile, encouraging him to take it.
"It's okay, it'll be good, I'm sure you've wanted one before." He says, though the small sparkling took it before he had even finished his sentence. The sparkling was eagerly licking the treat, making a mess of himself in the process. The mech couldn't help but laugh as he wiped the sparklings cheeks with his wet finger.
"Good isn't it? Can you tell me your name?" He asks, gently prodding the sparkling for information. He shook his head and looked up at the bigger mech expectantly.
"Oh? You want my name first maybe? Well, my name is Skyfire." The mech smiled brightly.
ZZZZ
So! How many of you guessed who the mech was? How many think they know who the sparkling is? I made it pretty obvious! Give me your guesses on what will happen in the next chapter and we'll see who's closest! Till next time my lovelies!
