It had been two weeks since the greatest achievement in Autobot history, the capture and imprisonment of the Decepticon leader Megatron. Shortly afterwards Decepticon activity dwindled and disappeared, a series of events lead to the crowning of Optimus Prime as Magnus, Ultra Magnus went offline shortly after the capture of Megatron, and Sentinel returned to his prior status. All of Cybertron returned to how it originally was, Sari would visit Cybertron annually, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Ratchet returned to earth with Omega Supreme, due to the courageous actions of Cliffjumper, Blurr was rescued though he would likely remain in stasis for a while, Arcee joined the earth team along with Jazz and the Jet twins.
Soon everything was perfect, but that would soon change.
Jazz was on evening patrol through the southern part of the city, the twins were patrolling the northeast and northwestern ends. Jazz kept an eye out for any Decepticon activity, due to the discovery of the absence of the Decepticon seeker, Starscreams, missing shell the earth team has been on high alert in case of any Decepticon activity. It has been two weeks and nothing, Jazz cruised along the streets, bored, but willing, he only had a half hour left for his shift, then he could go back to the base and take a nice long- then he spotted an odd looking car. It was dark blue with a light blue stripe along its base sides. It had fenders, and looked like a sports car, but what was so strange was how unearthly it looked. It had this strange shaped head light/grill front end which was faced downward and ended sharply, like a sports car, the bumper was somehow in there, and the wheels were oddly designed, the tires seemed to almost fade into the rims, and the passenger seats didn't seem to be built for comfort. The windshield seemed almost flat, no curve, it was just slanted, and the dashboard was plain and flat.
how odd, maybe it was just an old Cadillac, Thought Jazz.
he would have stopped to inspect it but Jazz had to continue, he didn't see any insignia anywhere, it didn't even have license plates, but he had to continue. Something was odd about that car, he could feel it in his chassis, to ease his gut feeling he commed the twins for a status report.
"Yo, twins, what's the scoop, ya got anythin?" he commed
"There be nothing out of ordinary here!" Jetfire commed.
"It be true, all quiet tonight!" said Jetstorm
"Hmm, do a quick rescan, I've got a feelin..." Jazz said cautiously, his mind wandering to that odd looking vehicle
"We be doing that sir!" chimed both twins, and they commed off.
Jazz sighed, and he continued on his patrol, he finished his patrol over the area, but when he finished he decided to take another look at that odd car. As he was about to turn the corner where he had seen the car a blue and gray blur flew down the street, quickly Jazz transformed and took a look where the odd blur had come from. In the spot where the strange car had been sat a dumbfounded dingy looking man, Jazz quickly approached him and gestured towards the strange blur.
"Hey man, what was that thing?" he asked
The dumbfounded man just stuttered out,"I-it j-just stood up!" then he jumped up and ran away.
Confused Jazz transformed and drove after the blur, he could only assume it was the car he'd just seen, and he drove after it, his thoughts quickly convinced him to believe it had transformed, explaining how it 'stood up' so he drove quicker.
Within a few minutes he spotted the blur heading in the direction of the bridge, it was rather large, but it moved too fast to figure out what it was, quickly he went into full throttle and took a short cut. He drove right into the path of the blur and he transformed, pulling out his nun chucks, the blur approached him then flew over him, but what Jazz saw wasn't a car, it was a femme. He could only gape as the masked femme flew over him, when she landed (very gracefully thought jazz) she transformed without missing a beat.
Jazz quickly regained his senses and took chase, quickly he commed the twins.
"Yo! Jets! Got a possible con on the run, rendezvous at the bridge, I think that she's gonna try to cross, use only necessary force! Over and outs!"
He continued the chase, she was heading towards the bridge, but he didn't see the twins at it, he hoped they got his com. Relief flooded him when two orange and blue jets flew over him and towards the bridge, the twins, once they came to the vacant bridge, transformed and landed on the bridge entrance, then they made ready their weapons, wind and fire, and turned towards the unknown transformer.
The femme approached the twins quickly, and when she was near enough Jetstorm let go a powerful wind tunnel to push her back. Jazz drove around the tunnel, transformed and jumped to land next to the twins on the bridge. The tunnel seemed to stop her momentarily, but she slowly began to creep forward on maximum overdrive, when she was only a few yards from them Jetfire began to throw fireballs into the torrent. After a few close calls she transformed, jumped out and over the wind current, and landed each ped gracefully on the twins processors knocking them together, and then she jumped, onto the bridge and sprinted, leaving the dazed twins to fall
Jazz did a circuitzu jump and landed in front of the startled femme, who fell onto her aft in surprise. Before she could act Jazz quickly pulled stasis cuffs from his subspace and snapped them onto the femme's wrists, freezing her in the middle of the bridge. Quickly he walked around to the stunned twins, both were lying on the ground, still in shock from their impact with eachother, and helped them stand.
"You jets all right?" he asked
"We be alright Jazz sir" said Jetfire
"Yeah, we be alright sir" said his twin, groggily, then they both slumped unconscious to the ground.
"Alright, now all I gotta do is haul that femme and you two back-" the bridge began to raise, at first Jazz wasn't concerned, but then he remembered something.
The femme! He spun around and saw the helpless femme rise as the bridge split beneath her, unable to help herself because of the stasis cuffs. Jazz ran to the femme, and managed to catch the link binding the cuffs
Jazz sighed in relief, but when he began to pull the femme up the link snapped, and she began to fall. Jazz was forced to lean farther off the bridge to catch her servo She looked up at him then began to swing, Jazz tried to keep himself steady but his upper body weight was making him unbalanced, as the femme caught the edge he let go of and fell forward. He had only been falling for a split second before he stopped upside down, when he looked up he saw the femme, with one servo she held the edge,with the other she held his servo. She was looking down at him, her thoughts unknown to him because her mask hid her face. Then he put his mind back to their current position, he knew if she let go he'd fall onto the boat causing damage and she'd probably get away, but if she chose to hold on they both might fall, at that moment the bridge stopped.
Jazz watched as the boat passed by unknowing of their predicament, he again looked up at the femme, she seemed to be pondering something, she kept looking at Jazz then the bridge edge, at that moment the bridge began to go down, the boat had passed and he knew she had to make a choice, quickly she began to swing him.
She continued to swing him until the other side of the bridge was close enough to grab, Jazz managed to grab it, when his grip was secure she let him go, he quickly pulled himself up, but the femme was having some trouble, her servo was slipping and she didn't have a good enough grip to grab with her other servo, and the space between the bridge sides were getting closer by the moment.
Quickly he spun around and grabbed the femme by her dangling servo, yankng her up, with only seconds to spare. When the bridge had closed he put the femme down. Jazz made a quick glance past his shoulder and saw the twins sitting up dizzily at the edge of the bridge, where they had rolled to when the bridge sides rose. He then looked back at the femme and took a good look at her. She seemed to be doing the same, her design was similar to his, except less bulk, she was very curvy, and slim, her arms held the doors to her alt mode and her head was also was poking out of her engine. On her heels and shoulders were her tires, the windshield formed a little barrier behind her processor, and she had a pack on her back, he knew those uncomfortable seats were in that little bundle.
As they inspected each other he held out a servo, and she only stared at it before motioning she didn't understand.
He was surprised
"I'm Jazz, here you just lend me your servo," and he took her servo," and you shake." He gave her a quick shake then let go, she stared at her servo for a second, inspecting it, then she let it drop to her side and stared at him.
"So what's your name? "He asked
She just stared
"What's your designation? Your name? I'm Jazz" he said, gesturing first to himself then to her.
Again she only stared then she tilted her processor to the side curiously.
"Can you understand me?"
She nodded
"Good can you tell me your name?" he asked, confused.
She shook her processor
"Why?" he asked frowning
She simply tapped her mask, that's when he realized her mask didn't allow her vocals to bypass.
"You a bot or con?" he then asked.
She cocked her head to the other side and then signaled she did not understand.
By now the twins were getting up, and they were approaching Jazz from behind. He gave them a quick nod to signal everything was under control, and then turned back to the femme.
"Autobot? Decepticon?" he asked
She just shrugged; her composure suggesting she was nervous.
"What's your name?"
She put her servos in a thinking position, then she snapped her digits, she held up two digits and pointed at them.
Confused Jazz stared at them for a second then rubbed the back of his processor," uh, your name is two?" he said confused.
"That not be it!" shouted Jetstorm popping up, "she be using, what that earth game call? SHA-raids!" he said excitedly, pushing past Jazz to be in front of the femme.
"I be Jetstorm" he said pointing at himself proudly," and that be my twin-"he said gesturing at Jetfire.
"I be Jetfire!" he shouted popping up behind Jazz.
Then Jetstorm settled and motioned to her "be continuing!" he said excitedly, and again she pointed at her two digits.
"There be two words?" he asked after scowling for a few seconds.
She nodded then put down a digit.
"Word that be first? "He asked.
Again she nodded, and then she pointed up.
He rubbed his processor for a second before he said"Sky?"
She shook her processor.
"Uh, be it star?"
Again she shook her processor.
"Uh-Uh, be it moon? "He asked.
She nodded, then put up her second digit and pointed at the bridge structure.
Confused, Jetstorm scratched his processor,"Uh, wire?"
She shook her helm
"Um, bridge?"
She shook her processor sadly.
"Beam?" interrupted Jetfire.
She looked at him and nodded her head repeatedly.
"So your name is Moonbeam?" Jazz asked.
She nodded.
"Where do you come from?" Jazz asked.
She shrugged, then she snapped her digits again, quickly she transformed and popped open the hood of her engine. Sticking out of her spark chamber was and Allspark fragment, then she closed her hood and transformed.
"So... be it Allspark piece that create her?" Jetfire asked.
She just shrugged.
"Alright cats, lets return to home base and show our new teammate...Moonbeam" Jazz smiled at her and they all transformed and left to base.
