AN: Well, it's been awhile. Finally, something new. Anyway, just to warn you, this takes place after the movie, so there are spoilers. If you haven't seen the movie, then go see it, then read this story. I repeat, GO SEE THE MOVIE! It was very good.
Love's Long Journey
Prologue: Time Before
Jazz looked out at the battered wasteland that was Cybertron. The once beautiful planet had deteriorated due to Megatron's betrayal. Jazz sighed, and turned to head back to his home. He walked through what was once Iacon, but could no longer be known as such. Jazz went into the Autobot base, which had been moved underground to avoid Decepticon attack. Jazz's quarters were in the sector for mates. He smiled, knowing his mate was safe, as were all the remaining females. During the start of the war, Megatron had captured and destroyed many of the females, as he thought they were weak. But as the war progressed, Megatron came to realize that females were needed for the reproduction of new transformers. So, the warlord began to capture any remaining females, breeding more of his race.
Jazz shuddered at the thought of his mate, Comet, becoming one of Megatron's 'pets'. He walked into his quarters, turning on the lights. Comet lay on the recharge berth, asleep. Jazz approached the bed, playing some music from his radio. Comet groaned and turned, optics lighting upon seeing her smiling mate. Comet was a slender femme, with black arms and legs, and a silver torso. Her head was black, and her optics a dark green.
She sat up and smiled, motioning for Jazz to come closer. Jazz obliged, pulling her into a loving embrace as he sat on the berth. He kissed her forehead, laying his head on her's,
"Tomorrow, we're leaving Cybertron. Optimus received Bumblebee's signal and we're to meet up with him, on a planet called Earth." Comet looked up at Jazz with worried optics,
"What am I supposed to do? I can't go with you, and Cybertron is close to death." Jazz sighed,
"You will be placed in a safe location. Optimus assured me that you would be in safe hands. Nothing will happen to you, and I will be back, as soon as we find the all spark." Comet nodded and cuddled closer to Jazz. Jazz tightened his hold on her, and lay back on the berth.
They lay there for awhile, content in just being with each other. Comet smiled and lifted her head to look at her mate. Jazz quirked an imaginary eyebrow, as his mate rolled to look him in the face. Comet kissed Jazz and rested her forehead against his,
"Guess what?" Jazz pulled Comet closer, his eyes never leaving hers. Comet took one of Jazz's hands and placed in on her stomach,
"We're going to have a baby. A little mech., I can already tell." Jazz smiled and pulled Comet into a kiss. He deepened the kiss and moved them so that they lay side by side, facing each other,
" A little one, in a time like this. The one thing I've always wanted, beside a loving mate. I love you so much, my wonderful mate."
"And I love you. Jazz, promise me that you'll come back. That you'll be here for me and the baby." Jazz looked into Comet's green optics, and smiled,
"I promise Comet. I will return to you, no matter what the cost. Just promise me that you will stay safe and out of harm's way." Comet nodded and snuggled into Jazz's chest. He pulled her close and held her, humming a tune to lull her into peaceful recharge. Jazz waited until Comet was asleep, and after turning out the lights, he too, fell asleep.
After the battle for the All Spark...
Optimus stood atop the lookout, Ironhide and Ratchet in alternate form, Sam and Mikaela lying on Bumblebee's hood. He sighed and looked at the mound of earth that stuck up. They had decided not to drop Jazz into the bottom of the trench with the dead Decepticons. Optimus shook his head and sat next to Ratchet,
"Ratchet, can I ask you to help me with something?" Ratchet transformed and sat next to Prime,
"Of course, what do you need?" Optimus looked up to the sky,
"Jazz had a mate, Comet. The last I saw her was when we left, and she was with child. She is coming to earth to see Jazz, only Jazz didn't make it." Ratchet looked thoughtful for a moment,
"Optimus, there may be a way to fix Jazz. I'll have to research it, but I think I can bring him back." Optimus nodded,
"Do your research, but leave the final choice to Comet." Ratchet nodded, grasping Optimus's hand in his own.
AN: Well, newest story in awhile, and hopefully it will go better than the others. I've had a lot of writer's block lately, so I will try to update my other stories, and this one. Please r&r.
