Enjoy the chapter folks
The night was clear and quite, the stars above shone brightly shimmering like jewels before a flame. It was one of those perfect midsummer nights where
young couples could be seen star-gazing and telling each other what they most wished for in life. On this particular night, a young girl stood on her porch
gazing at the stars that twinkled overhead. Chin length blond hair framed a small pale face, light blue eyes gazed through loose blond strands. Her frail form
was clothed in a thin off white dress that came just below her knees; thin arms were colored with a kaleidoscope of blue, purple, green, and yellow bruises.
This young one did not gaze at the stars whispering secrets to a loved one. She gazed to the heavens in prayer, asking the Lord above to make her father
back into the happy person he used to be. "Lilly, Get your ass in here, now!" The man she called father yelled. With one last glance at the stars she rushed
back inside as a blue-green star streaked across the night sky.
About thirty-five miles away from the farmhouse the meteor smashed into a thick forest, snapped toppled and burning trees and under brush that lined the
ravine carved by the 'falling star.' Smoke and steam rose from a smoldering ball of metal half buried in the soft dirt. The night stilled once more, the air
was filled with the soft sizzle of smoldering trees and foliage. The metal oval-shaped object groaned and creaked for a few minutes as it cooled. A loud pop
followed by a hiss of depressurization was heard and the ball unfolded, reveling arms, legs and torso of a robotic being that stood just a little lower then the
trees. Crimson optics flickered to life as the being slowly stood up and took in its surroundings as minor systems came on-line. It's helm tilted back as the
distant thunder of powerful engines from a F-15 fighting Eagle passed over head. A light green beam activated and scanned to aircraft as if flew by, the robot
then seemed to shed its outer covering as new panels took its place. The being then leapt into the air and folded in on its self, a few seconds later another F-
15 hovered in the robots place, this one was black with silver outlining the wings, and a menacing emblem in dark purple was stamped on the upper and under
side of each wing, the cockpit canopy was tinted to hide the empty pilots seat. The roar of high powered jet engines filled the air as it took off into the night.
Darkwave vented her air tanks as the air caressed her frame. It had been a while since she had been able to fly freely over a planet without the fear of being
shot down. The landing she had taken was hard but caused little damage as the surface was softer than that of Cybertron nothing a stop at the medbay
couldn't repair. The Femme scanned the terrain of the new world she had landed on, below her signs of organic life appeared threw her sensors, this planet
was a paradise, Lord Megatron had found a great treasure among the stars and she had the honor of being stationed here. Her programing hummed at the
thought of all the new things she could see and learn here. The dark femme reluctantly pulled herself from her thoughts of learning all she could from the
creatures below. She had a responsibility to her leader first. She flew in slow random circles, while waiting on a reply from Lord Megatron she scanned the
human data network, or the world-wide web as the humans called it, and read up on the wondrous new planet. The dominant species, she noticed, where
quite primitive compared to that of her own kind. Having only just made it off their planet and on to their moon. The were primitive but adaptable and looked to
be quick learners she wondered how far their imaginations would carry them of the next steller cycles.
Proximity sensors went off pulling her from herpondering, defense systems came online as an F-22 rose in altitude behind her. "This is Lord Starscream, Air
Commander of the Decepticon forces. Power down all weapons and follow me." An annoyingly screechy voice over the COM link. "I follow only the orders of
Lord Megatron. Not one of his lackeys." Came her reply. Starscream's engines roared louder behind her. "Lord Megatron has sent me to retrieve your aft. Now
if you wish to remain functioning then you will follow me to the base!" The Mech screeched. Darkwave internally cringed and dialed down her audio receptors.
'It seems I have found the reason he is called StarScream' "Ah… It seems you are having trouble with our newest recruit Starscream." A new voice spoke over
the link. An alien aircraft flew closer to the two jets. "Hail Lord Megatron!" Darkwave greeted as she respectfully fell in proper formation behind the
Cybertronian jet that was her commanding officer and leader. Jet behind Darkwave smoldered with anger. "Welcome Darkwave, to Earth, our mission here is to
gather enough energon to revive Cybertron back to its former glory, the Decepticon behind you is my second, Starscream you will be under his and Soundwave
my Intel officer's command." Megatron told the newest Seeker. "Aw slag…" She muttered. Darkwave could swear that if he could, he would be giving her a
smug grin that read. "Your aft is mine scrap heap." "Starscream, this is Darkwave, Sniper and black Ops specialist also the only known Decepticon femme
online. You are responsible for her training as a member of my air command and her integration into the ranks, Soundwave will take over her training as an
Intel officer." Megatron added. The Decepticon base was hidden with in a large mountain range the Humans called the Rocky Mountains. Buried deep inside a
cliff about 325 miles from where she landed."Home Sweet home." She muttered statistically.
After her first six months of training under Starscream, she came to realize… she was scrap. Starscream and the other seekers seemed to enjoy seeing how
far she could push herself during training. Or how far they could push her until she snapped and attacked one of them only to get blasted and the bolts beat
off her for insubordination. "Perhaps mouthing off to the Air commander wasn't such a bright idea." She thought, wincing as she fixed an injury after getting
into an altercation with Starscream. A smirk crept across her face, the only way he had been able to knock the bolts out of her was because he had her
weapons off-lined right after she got to the base. Something about younglings not being able to handle weaponry. Darkwave rolled her optic heavenward, she
was far from a youngling. She looked up at the sun set as she sat on a cliff that over looked a lake not far from where she had landed. A small human dwelling
could be seen if she flew over the trees. It was the only one that could be seen for several miles, it sat next to a black strip that ran through the forest with
white and yellow lines running along it. The humans called it a highway, though she couldn't for the life of her understand why, it wasn't high at all. The femme
sat back resting her weight on her hands behind her, she shifted her shoulder a bit to allow sensory plate to settle in place. The plates on her along head
shoulders and arms along with those along her spinal strut could flare depending on her mood and to absorb solar energy they also improved her sensory
range. Dust and leaves danced as she vented her tanks. The plates on both sides of her helm and down along her shoulders and arms flared allowing sunlight
to hit solar panels underneath.
The place calmed her, soothed her anger and frustration allowing her to relax and top off her tanks as she went over her training. It wasn't much really, just
about who the Autobots were, and their allegiance with a human military group called N.E.S.T., different types of flight and attack formations and such. She had
been given files on each Mech and femme in the Autobot ranks from Commander to rookie. None of them did she particularly want to fight. She lacked the
combat training and knew that if she came face to face with any of them she would be scarp within a matter of seconds…Maybe that was why Megatron
allowed the Seekers to knock the bolts off of her so often to teach her hand to hand. Wave shook her head, no Starscream just like bullying mechs or in her
case femmes.
The rustling of branches and leaves shook the femme seeker from her thoughts as a small organic rushed out of the trees. Darkwave raised an optic ridge
and perked the plates on her helm, She settled the plates along her arms and shoulders to look less frightening as the creature froze in its tracks at the sight
of the dark Cybertronian gazing down at her with blood-red optics. Fluids leaked from its wide optics as it stood there shaking. A quick scan showed that the
creature was a human femme, one of the dominant species on the planet and only a sparkling, younger even then Darkwave herself which to wave was a
novelty in and of its self. "Do not fear Human, I will cause you no harm." Darkwave said to the quivering child flattening the plates on her helm. She almost
turned back to the sun to finish refueling when she caught something sparkle on the beings fleshy face plates. A squeak escaped the being as Darkwave
gently picked it and held it in her claw. "Your optics are leaking, are you malfunctioning?" The girl in her hand just stared up at the metallic being shaking and
making whimpering noises. Darkwave pushed air threw her vents in a human like sigh before setting the creature down. "I apologize for frightening you, it was
not my intention. I was not aware anyone would becoming up here this late." The femme explained. 'Great job Wave, scare the first human you meet out of its
possessor.' She scolded her self. Wave got to her peds, just before she took off she heard the human cry out to her.
At first Darkwave couldn't understand what the organic was saying, until she looked up the areas native language, and translated the gibberish into: "I'm
sorry please don't go!" The femme was amazed that such primitive beings could have so many languages and dialects. How did they understand that someone
was saying did they have an internal translator or something? Darkwave paused before landing gently on the cliff once more. "I didn't mean to make you
angry, you were here first." The girl looked down at her feet and fiddled with the front of her dress. Darkwave glanced down and tilted her helm worried when
she started sobbing once more. The sparkling stiffened when the femme picked her up once more, bringing her up to her optics."Calm your systems little one, I
am not angry. I don't know much about humans, it looks to me like you are malfunctioning. If you like I can get you to one of your medics. Hehe. I can barely
put my self back together after getting the bolts knocked out of me. I would only make an even worse mess trying to fix you." The human looked up at her in
surprised confusion… "I'm not broken, I'm crying it's what Human beings do when their scared or sad." She said wiping the fluid, composed of sodium chloride
and various hormones, from her face. She looked up once more "You get beat? But… I mean… your so big… Why not stop them?" The femme sat back against a
tree and scratched the back of her head getting a sheepish look to her metallic face. "Well, I thank you for the complement but… I am not that big, not for my
kind anyway. Also I am the youngest of my group and the lowest ranking." As she said this the wings on her back drooped lower and lower with each
comment. "And Primus help me if I ever raised a hand against one of my superiors, I would be scrap in no time." She finished cringing at the very thought.
"Oh…" The human said rubbing her arms. She jumped when she heard a sharp, Clang, as the robot hit it's face plates with its palm. "I need a new possessor.
My designation is Darkwave. What is yours, I can not very well go around calling you human or organic, or squishy all the time." The girl giggled sniffled and
wiped the rest of her tears away. "I Lilly Elester, It's nice to meet you. Sorry I got scared a while ago." Darkwave smiled and waved it off. "That is all right. I
think I would be to, if I saw someone as big as I am to you… Then I would blast him to scrap." She made a gun out of her fingers and pretended to blow smoke
out of the barrel flickering an optic off then on, causing the human girl giggle again.
After a few hours of goofing off and swapping questions of home planets and species. Darkwave felt she had made a good friend, even if the youngling was
a squishy organic. She noted the girl open her mouth and stretch her arms out curling into the femme's warm hand her optic shutters opening and closing
slowly. Wave's optics flickered in a blink then brightened as she looked up what was wrong. "You should go recharge Lilly, it is very late. I can take you to your
domicile if you wish." Lilly sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What is a domicile?" Wave's optics dimmed for a moment before brightening back to normal once more.
"I believe humans call it a 'home'." The youngling stretched her upper limbs causing the femme to cringe as her spine and joints made popping sounds. "But
won't someone see you?" Darkwave smirked. "I am not as slow in the processors as you think I am. I can cloak my coming and going from humans and most
Mechs if I so wish it." She replied pridefully. Gently she place Lilly on the ground before transforming in to her jet form. She then sank as low to the ground as
she could get on her landing gear and tipped one wing to the ground, she then opened to cockpit canopy to allow the human youngling inside. "Come on up,
just give me the directions to your dwelling and we will be there in no time." Lilly hesitated for a second then climbed up, the canopy closed slowly over her and
a harness buckled over her shoulders as Wave levitated off the cliffs ledge, slowly adjusting the atmosphere in the cockpit to keep Lilly comfortable. "My house
is on the other side of the forest." Lilly explained more than a little nervous. Darkwave played a sound bite of someone clearing their throat. "Please keep all
heads, arms, legs, and other squishy appendages inside the jet thank you." She said, causing Lilly to giggle again as they took off over the tree tops towards
her house.
"If I may ask, how did you get all the way out here? It seems a bit far for a human youngling to be walking so far alone." Lilly just shrugged and fiddled
with her fingers digging the dirt from under her nails. "I decided to go for a walk after Daddy went to work. It's not too far." Dark wave thought about the
youngling's reply for a bit before pushing it out of her processor if the human said it wasn't too far then it must not be too far…
Five minutes later Darkwave stood behind a two-story house cloaked so it looked like Lilly was floating up near her second story window "Here you are,
home sweet home." After jumping off Waves hand, she clung to one of her invisible fingers as the femme started to pulled away. "Will you come back
sometime?" She asked gazing out side her window."Sure…" A small black and silver device dropped on to the wooden floor in her room. "I will contact you on
that when I get some free time. Keep it with you and let no one else touch it." Said the disembodied voice of Darkwave. Lilly smiled and picked it up holding it
to her chest. "Well, I must jet before Starscream shorts himself out at my being gone so long. See you later." "Bye!" Lilly called waving as a gust of warm air
blew through the window.
