1. Chapter 1

Starscream was walking around the Autobot base, searching for someone. Starscream's sparkmate was sleeping, as his sparkmate was pregnant with sparklings. Starscream could not wait for the little ones to be born. Red had told Starscream and his sparkmate that they were expecting twins, and Starscream could not have been happier.

Hot Shot recharged silently on his side. He was only five months along, yet sense he was carrying twins his abdomen was larger than the average transformer. The yellow mech could hardly wait for the twins to be born but at first Hot Shot had wished he wasn't pregnant.

Starscream, after having talked to the bot he had been seeking, headed to the recreation room to pick up energon for him and his sparkmate as he knew Hotshot would need more to help the developing sparklings. Starscream steered clear of the high grade as he knew his sparkmate did not like him drunk, and so once Starscream got the energon he needed, he headed back to the quarters that he shared with his sparkmate, Hotshot.

Hot Shot woke up hearing his sparkmate nearby. Starscream is that you? Hot Shot asked through his bond. He figured it was but he had to careful with the Decepticons and ever growing threat.

Yes, honreplied Screamer through their bond it's me . Starscream stood there just looking at his sparkmate. On one hand, Screamer was elated as he was going to be a father to two twin mechs, but on the other hand, Screamer felt bad as he had promised to Hotshot that they would not start a family during the pointless war between the Autobots and the 'cons. Starscream had become more paranoid about his pregnant sparkmate ever since Megatron shot at him two months ago. Fortunately the sparklings and Hotshot were safe, but it was way too close for comfort. And, after shaking himself out of his memories, Starscream approached his sparkmate and offered him some energon.

Hot Shot silently took the glass of Energon from his spark mate and took a sip of it. He was trying not to remember when Megatron nearly ended his and his unborn sparkling lives; it was too painful of a memory. I only wish we could have put this off till after the war he said through their bond. Don't get him wrong, he was glad he was having twins but he would have rather waited till after the war.

I wished so as well, but maybe the war will end soon Starscream pulsed through their bond. He hated having to do it, but Starscream had slipped something in his sparkmate's drink, something that would put his sparkmate to sleep so that Starscream could enact his plan for ending the war. The seeker was going to go directly after Megatron himself, but not by himself. Starscream had slightly tricked some naive Autobots into joining him on his crusade to get rid of Megatron.

And it was not because Starscream wanted to take over the 'Cons, it was because Starscream wanted to raise his little family in a world without war. Starscream knew that this task presented great risk, but it would all be worth it if he could take out Megatron. the only question would be was if he could survive. But then he realized that he had to survive as three precious little lives hung in the balance. Starscream quickly kissed his sleeping sparkmate before heading out. He hoped it was not the last time he would see Hotshot.

When Hotshot awoke again Starscream wasn't there. Thinking it was best for him, Hotshot went back to sleep. He could only wonder where his sparkmate was, he only hoped he was okay.

Meanwhile, while his sparkmate was supposedly fast asleep, Starscream assembled the team he had created for the task ahead, the destruction of Megatron. And after assembling the team, the team left through the warp gate. Starscream thought to himself I swore I would get you Megatron, even if it's the last thing i do.

Once they arrived at the moon base, the Autobot team, led by Starscream, infiltrated the Decepticon base easily, as Cyclonus was napping when he should have been watching. Starscream smirked - this was going to be too easy. The team quietly infiltrated the 'con base, quickly capturing all the other 'Cons until only Megatron was left. Silently, the team moved in for the intended target, and, in Starscream's mind, the kill.

Waking with a terrible dream and thought, Hotshot contacted his friend; Safire, so she could check on Starscream and the others. Safire agreed and told Hotshot to rest, he needed it, and then she left to the moon base. In no time Safire was on the moon base. The red and blue femme silently walked through the base and to where Starscream was. Her spark seemed to stop when she caught on to what Starscream was going to do. He's going to kill my father the femme whispered to herself.

Starscream and his team had reached Megatron's quarters, they could hear noises inside. Starscream almost lost his energon as he recognized the sound; Megatron was yet again raping a poor femme or mech, but judging by the sounds, it was a mech. The Autobot team with him quietly approached, ready for anything. Starscream opened the door. The whole team silently gasped as the door revealed Megatron raping Demolisher. The poor tank just sat there, having no choice but to take it. Starscream's energon boiled, this was the last straw

Meanwhile, Safire caught up to the team just as she witnessed them open the door and saw Megatron raping his most loyal soldier.

Safire covered her optics knowing Demolishers pain. "Poor, poor Demolisher" Safire mumbled to herself, trying to hold her Energon in. She didn't understand why her father would want to rape his most loyal soldier, let alone a mech.

Starscream, seeing the teams' reactions, including Safire's sickened reaction, knew there was no choice left. Starscream, though no longer a Decepticon knew exactly how Demolisher felt as Starscream had been in that position many a time. His anger boiled up inside. Starscream noticing the Star saber laying near the door grabbed and using both it and his wingblade, Starscream stabbed the arrogant Decepticon leader. Demolisher onlined his optics to see that Starscream, a close friend, had returned to save him from this torment.

Megatron whipped around, optics blazing red with anger. Megatron getting on shot off hit the seeker in the chest, damaging him (and Hotshot woke up as he felt it back home). But before Megatron could get any other shots off, Starscream and Demolisher, who Starscream had freed, stabbed the arrogant leader again, and Starscream's last stab cut Megatron's spark chamber from his metal body and the metallic shell now dropped to the floor in a pile of scrap while the unholy spark floated off. Happy about the victory, Starscream and Demolisher crashed to the floor, both in need of medical attention. the Autobot team rescued the two and returned to base with the arrested Con's and the two heroes.

Meanwhile, Safire sat there and cried as her father now lay in a pile of scrap metal. And then Safire felt a small spark pulse to hers. Purplehaze, a sparkling who was killed at birth by Megatron, had sent her spark to comfort her sister, Safire.

Hotshot again woke with a start, something happened to Starscream he could just tell. He hoped Starscream was okay, yet he had the feeling he wasn't. "I told him not to do it, but did he listen? no" Hotshot said to himself. He didn't know if he should go to med bay or not but for now he didn't move.

Meanwhile, Safire felt Purplehaze's spark near her own. The red and blue femme freed the Decepticon captives before setting off to the Autobot's base. She didn't know if she had the spark to do it but she had the mind to, and that was to get revenge for her father's death. Sure Hotshot was her friend and he would never forgive her and neither would the others but she was going to go after Starscream.

Purplehaze's disembodied spark reached out to her sister, Safire. Safire felt the presence. Then Purplehaze revealed to Safire something that Safire had never known - Purplehaze had been killed by her own father - Megatron. Safire was in shock. But having felt Purplehaze's little spark before, Safire knew that Purplehaze was speaking the truth, as horrible as it was, Safire's own father had killed her only sister many years ago.

Meanwhile, Starscream was on the med bay table and out cold. His mission was accomplished, but he had taken a bad beating. His spark was barely hanging on. Red Alert and Ratchet were working furiously to save the seeker, as they knew he would be needed to raise the two little twin mechs that Hotshot was expecting. Unknown to all, the only thing that was keeping Starscream online right now was the fact that his twin little sparklings would now be safe and in a world without war.

Please, primus Starscream begged please let me live to see the precious sparklings you have blessed my sparkmate and I with.

Safire could hardly believe what her sister was telling her, it wasn't possible. Then it dawned on her, she lived because of her mother and because she could fight when she had too. Her body trembled from the thought of seeing her dead sister's body again. She had seen her sister killed and her half sister nearly killed. She couldn't understand it; Purplehaze did nothing to deserve dying. For some reason Safire made a crash landing outside of Autobot headquarters and laid there, she was alive; very much alive.

Hotshot kept sending love pulses to Starscream even though the yellow mech wasn't aware of it. All he could think of was having to deal with two sparklings all alone with hardly anyone to help.

Optimus Prime, upon hearing the crash, went out and found Safire lying on the ground. He noticed that she was in bad shape and decided to pick her up to bring her in the med bay. What had caused this, Optimus could only wonder, as he had not yet read the reports that Megatron was now dead.

Meanwhile, Starscream was fading but then he felt a gentle pulse reaching out to his hurting spark. It was from his sparkmate, Hotshot. Starscream, having felt that his sparkmate would be mad for what he had done, was shocked when he felt the gentle pulses, as he realized that his sparkmate still needed him. And so Starscream began to fight back and fight back hard. He had to, as his family needed him.

When Safire awoke in med bay she felt extremely weird, what was causing this was unknown but Safire figured it was because she was near Optimus. I could make a run for it if I wanted she thought to herself then she spotted Starscream or I could stay here she thought with a smirk.

Hotshot, now fully awake, tried communicating with Starscream. Hold on Starscream, please for me and your family. I don't want to be alone with two sparklings he said threw there bond. If he would respond Hotshot would be happy but right now he was lower than a snake underground.

Safire looked and saw the damage that her father had caused to Starscream. She saw the burn marks on the wings, the hole in the cockpit and even the burns and deformations on Starscream's interfacing areas, and she recognized her dad's signatures. And even though she was pissed and hurting about what Starscream had done to her father, she began to understand as she saw all the abuse that Starscream had suffered.

Starscream, though still struggling, managed to pulse weak, loving pulses to his sparkmate. I won't leave you the pulses said, as the seeker unconsciously sent the pulses to his sparkmate, hoping that his sparkmate had not given up on him and hoping that his sparkmate would not reject his love.

Starscream waited as the pulses he sent headed toward his sparkmate. He was fighting as hard as he could, but if his sparkmate gave up on him, Starscream would slip away. Hotshot did not know it, but he would determine if his sparkmate would live or die, by whether or not he accepted the weak pulses from Starscream.

Even though she was hurting and in pain, Safire slid off the berth landing on her feet. Her cat like ears twitched as she could hear both medics nearby. They didn't know if they approached her while she was damaged she could hurt them.

Hotshot accepted Starscream's pulses hopping it would help him. He sent back his own pulses, encouraging his sparkmate to keep fighting to live. I haven't given up on you Starscream, I would never give up on you the pulses said and he meant it. As long as Starscream didn't give up on Hotshot, he wasn't going to give up on him.

Starscream's spark suddenly came online full tilt, sending everyone in the med bay scattering. Starscream, having almost gone offline, now was fighting and fighting hard, as he felt the gentle pulses from his sparkmate. Then Starscream heard something he was not ready for, as the pulse he felt said that not only did Hotshot need him, but his little unborn sparklings Kryptonight and Slugbug needed him to pull through. When Starscream felt his sparkmate's love as well as the love from the unborn sparklings, Starscream came back on line and came back with a vengeance. And soon after he came back online, Starscream, though still in pain, left the med bay against medical advice, and went to his hurting sparkmate, who he could feel was crying. I'm coming, Hotshot, I'm coming

Meanwhile, after having been thrown against the wall on the other side of the med bay, Safire pulled herself up to her feet. Ratchet and Red Alert were cautious around her, as they knew not what she could do, but had seen enough surprises that they were not going to take a chance of getting hurt. They knew they needed to sedate her and sedate her fast, and so, before Safire knew it, she was knocked out once again, this time by sedatives, so that Ratchet and Red could work on her safely.

Hot Shot stopped crying when he heard what his sparkmate had said yet he had the worst feeling something bad was going to happen again, not to Starscream but to his own friend and old Decepticon, Safire. Starscream I don't mean to bother you but when you get here I have something to say all though I don't think it will concern you as much as it concerns me Hotshot sent threw his bond.

Safire, knocked out cold, felt something very wrong with the base. It was almost like another part of Megatron had survived and was in the base. Where, she didn't know but she did know who it was.

On the other end of the base a solid black mech had taken down all alarms and communications. He knocked out Sideswipe (Armada) and Prowl (G1) so that they couldn't let anyone know danger was near. The mech known as Jinx made his way towards med bay. He spotted Starscream and sunk into the shadows hiding easily.

Starscream felt a presence, A presence he knew too well, but not seeing anything, he filed it a way in his processors. Something was wrong, but he could not quite put his finger on it, but knowing Hotshot needed to see him, Starscream headed to their shared quarters, wary as his optics and sensors remained on high alert, as if anticipating that something was yet to come.

Jinx cursed to himself, while he had hidden himself well enough that Screamer did not see him, the seeker had sensed his presence. But not to be deterred, Jinx pressed on, one goal in mine - just where to find her was the question.

Meanwhile, in the med bay, the sedated Safire was being worked on by Red and Ratchet. They repaired the damages that she had received when Screamer came back online and were repairing some other older injuries that they found were not repaired quite right. They hoped that the sedative would last long enough for them to finally fit all the replacement parts in.

And thankfully it did, just before Safire came back online, Ratchet and Red had finished repairing her. She noticed that she was functioning much better than she used to, but the cold feeling in her spark made her jump off the med berth and run and hide. She knew what was coming, but where to hide, where to hide...she had to find one and find it now.

Jinx growled sinking into the shadows again; his body not able to be seen against the walls but his optics burned a bright red. He smirked, he found her scent but wasn't sure how to get to her. He peered into the med bay before sinking back again. He saw Red Alert and Ratchet cleaning up but he didn't see Safire. Luck her, he knew she was in there though.

Safire scampered around the med bay like a scared little kid, knowing if she went into the hallways she would be scrap. She ducked under one of the repair berths hopping if Jinx got in she would be safe.

Hotshot waited till he saw Starscream, relieved to see no wounds from Jinx on his sparkmates body. "What I wanted to tell you was my friend, Safire, is in danger thanks to Jinx" he explained.

Starscream froze; Jinx was an older bot that Starscream knew of while he was with the Decepticons. Starscream's optics burned brightly when Hotshot told him that Safire was in danger. it had always been Starscream's duty as the SIC to make sure that Safire was safe, as Screamer was the only one Megatron trusted with his only surviving daughter. Hotshot recognized the look in his sparkmate's optics and Hotshot realized that something was wrong. Starscream gave hotshot a quick kiss before heading out to settle a final score.

Meanwhile, Jinx was searching for Safire, thinking that no one would come around, as Jinx knew of Ratchet's reputation with the med room, hence even Jinx waited until the grumpy old medic left. He was searching for one bot, and one bot alone. And in his narrowly focused quest, he never realized that someone was approaching the med bay.

Starscream, as he got closer to the med bay, felt the dark presence once again. He instantly recognized it, Jinx! That no good double crosser. Starscream kept quiet, as he was kept informed by his sparkmate on what was happening inside the med bay. Starscream wanted to wait for the right opportunity.

And since Starscream was a gentleman, and never believed that a mech should hurt a femme, Starscream was getting angrier as he realized jinx was going after Safire. Starscream may not have been a Decepticon anymore and he may not have been Safire's favorite for killing Megatron, there was no way he was going to let Jinx harm the small femme!

Jinx hissed slipping into the now dark med bay. He easily made his way towards Safire. He knew what he was going to do to her and no one could stop him, easily.

Safire snarled moving from her hiding place and towards Jinx. Even though Safire was a small femme she had spirit and knew how to fight. She knew Starscream was outside the med bay but she didn't understand why. "Whatever you're looking to do to me Jinx, I can take it. I've taken much worse from you before" she said.

In a flash Jinx had Safire pinned on her back. He had no mercy for the femme, not after she got Megatron's praise. "You should have never said that my dear" Jinx said "if you scream or keep talking your vocal cords will be ripped out of your throat". Safire cowered under Jinx, now wishing she had moved.

Jinx was still unaware that anyone was nearby, but seekers were known to mask their signals, hence seekers were always good warriors. Starscream, being informed by his sparkmate that Safire was in danger, silently slipped in through a back door, close to where the two were on the ground. Because it was dark, neither Safire nor Jinx could see that Starscream had entered the med bay. Starscream, though still recovering from the last eating from Megatron, slowly snuck upon the two. Sensing that the femme was in trouble, Starscream made his move.

Jinx optics blazed as he felt something easily slice through his armor cutting way too close to his spark chamber. And in the sudden pain, Safire was freed, and she sprinted away. Jinx was at a disadvantage, as his foe was cloaked in darkness, and had the Star saber, a sword that cut through anything like it was not even there. He lost his pray, but he knew first and foremost, he had to fight off this foe. Though he was leaking energon, Jinx was still not going to give up without a fight.

You really are full of your self aren't you?" Jinx asked. The mech could easily see Starscream, Saber-Horses could easily see in the dark. Jinx pulled out his own sword; it looked just like Starscream's.

"You want to fight after almost dying? You have guts I'll give you that" he said. His body tensed, It had been a while sense he had to fight Starscream. The last time they fought Safire got in the middle of it and nearly offlined.

Despite the pain Jinx wasn't about to give up. He promised Megatron he would either rape Safire or kill her. Jinx made no sudden moves to attack Starscream. "For someone who wanted the war to end your shore not acting like it. You left out killing one certain group of Decepticons, my group and Safire's"

Starscream, in the dark, smirked, as he knew he had the upper hand as jinx was not only blinded by the dark, he was unfamiliar with the territory. Starscream waited for his opponent's next move.

Starscream knew he could take on Jinx as the seeker had taken on the bot many a time before, each time stopping just shy of offlining the bot. Starscream was angry, and while he wanted peace, he was not going to stand by and watch while Jinx killed off Safire. Starscream knew that Safire was young enough that she could change her ways if she needed to, but Jinx was a lost cause. He had been fighting for so long that he did not even remember what the 'cons had been fighting for.

Safire made it safely to Hotshot's quarters, and when she saw the bot, she was saddened and scared. Hotshot was lying on the couch, unable to get up as the twins he was carrying prevented him moving around on his own. She then realized that Starscream was Hotshot's sparkmate, but the look on Hotshot's face scared Safire the most, as she now knew that Hotshot had sent Starscream into the fray to save her. Now what should she do, she wondered.

Meanwhile, Jinx and Starscream kept fighting, but the seeker kept one step ahead as he was more experienced and quicker than his opponent. Jinx had always hated fighting Starscream because Jinx knew that it was only because of Megatron or Safire that the former SIC had not offlined the bot. Jinx began to get worried as Starscream not only used the Star saber, but drew his own wingblade. Starscream with one weapon was dangerous enough; Starscream with two weapons was deadly and Jinx knew it.

Safire shook her head, feeling confused. "Do what you have to, Safire" Hotshot said rubbing the femme's cat ears.

Safire got angry, Jinx made her a promise and now he broke it. Snarling the femme changed to her Saber-Horse alt mode and ran out the room. She blindly ran past Optimus and Jetfire on her way back to med bay. She broke through the doors and rammed into Jinx causing him to hit the wall. The femme was to angry to feel the pain of Jinx's sword in her side. "You broke a promise Jinx" she hissed "you said when you joined the Autobot saber horses you would stop your killing spree, you lied".

Both Jinx and Safire felt pain in there sparks but they didn't know why.

Both Jinx and Safire felt pain in there sparks but they didn't know why.
Starscream was shocked when Safire came charging back in, but he knew well enough to stay out of her way when she was mad. Starscream had received many cuts and scrapes after accidentally getting in the angry femme's way. He was smart enough to know not to get in her way on purpose. Starscream watched as Safire continued beating on Jinx. Starscream could only watch as while Safire was stomping on Jinx, blue energon tears leaked from her saddened optics. Something pained her. Starscream, having seen that look many a times from Safire knew not to interrupt, though he wanted to.

Starscream also felt his sparkmate calling to him, telling him to stand down and so Starscream did, still watching as the smaller Safire was beating the slag out of Jinx. Then Starscream remembered something that he had never told the two. Megatron had informed Starscream millions of years ago that Safire and Jinx were sparkmates, though no one was ever to know. Starscream knew their sparks must be hurting as they hurt each other, and after putting his weapons away, Starscream waited for the two to stop fighting. He felt like he was babysitting the two, but he had to let them settle their differences before he would talk to them.

Safire stopped and backed away from Jinx, she knew better then to activate Jinx's darkside. She looked up at Starscream before running off. Jinx got to his feet and disappeared. Moments later Safire tried removing the sword from her side, but it didn't work. She curled up in a corner and fell asleep not wanting to hear from any of the Autobots.

Starscream, not knowing what was going on, went back to his sparkmate, injured and leaking a little energon as the fight had reopened the wound ratchet had just welded up. Starscream did not want to go to Ratchet as he felt Ratchet would never believe him. Starscream, pained and in agony, reached his and his sparkmates quarters. Hotshot was shocked when Starscream passed out right in front of him. Starscream felt like he had failed, he had failed everyone, and now when he no longer had the strength, he hoped that someone would save him, as he knew he needed to stay alive for his sparkmate and the unborn sparklings, but it was getting harder to fight as all Starscream wanted was peace so that he and his sparkmate could raise his sparklings in peace.

Hotshot, shocked at how his sparkmate looked, called out to Safire, but got no response. What have I done, thought Hotshot, what have i done. Hotshot, though he was not supposed to, got himself off the couch and lay down next to his sparkmate, hoping and praying that his sparkmate would make it.

Safire slowly woke up and went to her friends' quarters. Shocked and pained she herself nearly passed out. The femme made her way to Starscream and repaired him, she gently shook Starscream and said "You didn't fail anyone, I'm the one who failed everyone I've ever know" she said with a soft smile "you can't leave Hotshot to raise sparklings on his own not with the threat of Jinx and his group. In fact word is he'll be leaving to go home and I'll be following him".

Starscream slowly came online; his sparkmate was lying next to him, crying. Starscream, only moments ago leaking energon, found that he was repaired. He looked up and saw Safire. Then he understood. Starscream slowly lifted himself off the floor and Starscream had Safire help him place Hotshot back on the couch. Hotshot was too upset to say anything, and so the bot just watched as he sparkmate and his friend just stood there. Starscream, having always had lots of respect for Safire gave her a salute and then a hug. The hug was thanks for the repair.

Safire saw the old Starscream that she remembered when she was just a sparkling. With tears in her optics, Safire grabbed Starscream's hand, asking to be walked out. Starscream, after sending a reassuring message to his sparkmate, led Safire to outside the base, and let her go free. It had to be this way, and though screamer was sad, he still had a sparkmate and would soon have a young family to care for. Starscream waved as Safire took off. If only the war could be over, Starscream thought. I can only hope that Safire can convince her sparkmate and her band of Decepticons to give up the war. He did not want to fight them again, but he would if he had to he just hoped he would never have to.

Safire flew into space, looking back only once to see earth. She would never forget earth just like she would never forget Starscream. She hopped one day her and Starscream could become friends but she knew he wouldn't want to. Sadly Safire landed on her home world and wasn't welcomed back.

Meanwhile, Safire's younger sister and daughter to Optimus came flying in. It had been a while sense she saw her father or her mother. Starfire smiled, landing on the ground and switching to her robot mode. Her alt-mode was the same as her half sisters just with wings.

Several months later, things had been quiet on earth. Hotshot and Starscream now had two precious little sparklings; Kryptonight was much like his father, a seeker though the small sparklings coloring was Blue with silver trim. And while Kryptonight was loud and obnoxious, his twin, Slugbug was his opposite in every way. Slugbug was white with Gold trim and had yellow optics. Slugbug was a racer just like his mom, Hotshot. Slugbug was a quiet, loving little sparkling.

Starscream and Hotshot loved both their little sparklings. And even though both knew that Megatron was gone and the Decepticons had been disbanded for the most part, there were still pockets of rogue Decepticons that the two sparkmates kept their optics out for. They wanted there to be no chance that one like Safire's could snatch their precious little sparklings. And so, Either Hotshot and/or Starscream was always with the sparklings, unless they had to work and then another trusted Autobot watched the young ones as all knew these precious sparklings were the biggest targets and no one wanted any harm to come to them.

Starfire sighed walking through the base; she was having a fit trying to find her father. She stopped by Hotshot's and Starscream's room, smiling when she was the sparklings. "They're cute" she said "sorry to barge in like this, I was just looking for my father"

Meanwhile, in space Safire was floating around. She tried settling the war but she only got damaged for it. Half her body was burned and the metal was nearly all the way off. Starscream I heard about the good news, congrats! Sorry I wasn't there, I had other business. Look I need to ask you a favor. You don't have to but it would be nice Safire said threw her comm. link.

Starscream and Hotshot did not mind Starfire coming in, as they knew she was only trying to find her father. "Optimus is in the command center" Hotshot told Starfire, and soon, Starfire was off. Hotshot took one look at Starscream and realized that Starscream had received a message from someone. Making sure to take precautions, Hotshot took the little ones into the other room; while Starscream responded to the message he was sent.

The little ones are precious. I wish you could meet them safely, but I am not sure how that would work out. Thank you, Safire, for the congratulations, but you don't sound so good. Is there something that i can help you with? what is wrong? Starscream was worried, for he had always been Safire's guardian, and that did not stop even now when he was an Autobot and had his own little family.

Starfire ran into the command center informing prime about new Decepticons.

Well right now I'm adrift in space and loosing Energon fast. Is there any way you can get me back to the base safely? I would do it myself but my boosters are damaged. I got to go Jinx just found me... Safire's end of the line was cut before she could finish what she had to say.

Starscream gave his sparkmate a knowing look and then headed out. Hotshot knew what was going on, and wished speed to the seeker.

Starscream, once outdoors, broke the sound barrier as he raced off to find Safire. Judging by where he had received her last communication, she was near earth. Starscream raced and raced and when he found her, he was appalled, for she was barely online and was unable to function properly. The seeker, knowing it was critical to get her emergency help quickly flew to Safire, picked her up, and then raced like the dickens back to the base. Starscream commed ahead to Ratchet and Red that there was incoming. Starscream knew he only had mere seconds before Jinx would figure out what happened and come after the seeker who was desperately trying to save Safire.

Fortunately, Starscream reached the safety of the base with Safire before Jinx came after him. Starscream ran to the med bay with Safire barely clinging to life in his arms. Hotshot came out with the sparklings in order to help, and while Kryptonight cried, Slugbug watched as his spark was telling him to be ready -ready for what he did not know, but he would be ready.

At the med bay, Ratchet and Red Started working on the downed femme right away, always aware that she could offline at anytime. They kept working. They were able to repair her outward injuries, but her spark wasn't still fluctuating. It was then that little Slugbug crawled up and placed his small hand over Safire's spark. Unseen by all, but felt by Safire, a little jolt came from Slugbug's hands, and Safire's spark started to grow stronger and stopped fluctuating. Safire slowly came back online, much to the surprise of all those around her, including Starscream and Hotshot. She could not believe it, but she was alive - she did not know how, but she was alive.

Safire was a bit shocked at still being online. She could see all going on, on her right side, but everything on her left was black. She couldn't hear that well, no thanks to Starscream's thrusters, and to top it all off she was expecting as well. "Slag that accursed Jinx" Safire whispered to herself.

Meanwhile, Jinx started to enter earth to finish what he began. There was one reason to the whole war and it was Safire. If she had just joined one side for good her and Jinx wouldn't have made a war but no she had to be neutral.

Starfire paced outside of med bay knowing something was heading towards earth. She didn't want to go in because of the sparklings but she didn't want Jinx to be led to them either.

Hotshot, after seeing that Safire was online, took the sparklings out of the room and quickly hid with them in a safe hiding place. It was not cowardly; it was being safe, as the sparklings were precious.

Meanwhile, Starscream watched as Safire came online, wondering what happened. Starscream could tell he had gotten her here in time, but he did not realize that with as fast as his jet mode could fly, that his thrusters had temporarily made Safire deaf, but then he also did not know how sensitive her audio receptors were. Safire was happy to be alive, but she still could not see how.

Starfire, upon realizing that something was coming commed Optimus, as all needed to make sure the little sparklings were safe. Optimus contacted Starscream and Starscream informed Prime that the sparklings were safe with Hotshot and Override, and were well-hidden. Now all the Autobots could do was sit and wait. Safire, a bot of action, did not care for the sit and wait, but being in the shape she was, she had no choice.

Safire shook her head getting her hearing back. "Okay note to self cover audio's next time you fly with Starscream" she said with a bit of a laugh. She yawned and nearly fell into recharge before Starfire woke her up.

Jinx had landed outside and had opened fire on Starfire. Why, no one knew and no one knew how Starfire could stand such a beating.

Safire knew that Jinx was after her, but she wasn't afraid of him. Why couldn't the big dolt just stop fighting and trying to kill others. The war is over, Megatron is dead. There should be peace, but she did not feel any of it.

Starscream, upon seeing Starfire, became enraged. Starfire was but little more than a sparkling (compared to Starscream) and Jinx had no qualms about trying to kill a youngling. Not only a youngling, but a female youngling. Starscream was not going to stand around for that. Starscream had the unfortunate task of informing Prime. This was not going to be easy.

Meanwhile, Override and Hotshot watched over little Kryptonight and Slugbug. Kryptonight was asleep, but unknown to all, Slugbug was recording this whole thing into his little processor. And being the quiet one, Slugbug slipped away, grabbing his twin with him, as Slugbug instinctively knew it would be better for the little ones to hide in the vent tunnels, which were only big enough for sparklings to go through. Hotshot and Override had not noticed the twins leaving, but Slugbug somehow knew that where they were was not safe and crawled off, lugging his recharging brother with him, and once the two were far into the vent, Slugbug used his lights to find just the right spot, and then curled up with his brother. No one, and i mean no one, would find them here. And when little Slugbug fell into recharge, the tunnel once again became dark, making the little ones even safer.

The only reason Jinx still had his spark set on killing Safire and her half sister was because both betrayed him and his team. The only way for true peace was for either Safire or Jinx to be destroyed.

Safire knew what her fate was going to be but right now she wasn't going to let her younger half sister be destroyed. She knew she shouldn't fight when she was recovering but her sister was in trouble nothing was going to stop her. She slid off the berth and ran out the doors. Both her and her half sister hid behind a large bolder to keep from being hit.

Jinx growled changing to his robot mode and drawing his sword. He was hoping to draw Safire out into the open. Unknown to him Safire wasn't coming out in to the open. She was waiting for orders on what to do.

Meanwhile, Prime was enraged, as Starscream informed the commander of what had happened. Prime, though, calmed down; as he realized that he needed a plan. That was why he was a Prime, he knew how to create a plan based on the information he received and he was not going to jump the gun.

Meanwhile, Hotshot and Override still lay hidden, but when they looked around, they panicked as the little ones had disappeared. Hotshot passed out while Override called to Starscream to inform him that the little sparklings were missing. Since no one knew where the little ones were, the whole base went on high alert. This was not good.

Starscream was now even angrier. Not only did a female youngling get attacked by Jinx, Starscream's own sparklings were missing. Starscream, not realizing that Jinx did not even know about the sparklings, was more than ever determined to kill Jinx, as he assumed that the traitor had taken his own sparklings. Anger raged in the seeker. I will get him , he thought, I will, and when i do, he will die.

Jinx could tell the base was in a frenzy, what about he didn't know. Safire figured Jinx would have called for back-up by now but not a single rebel showed up.

Angered, Safire sent her half sister into the base to find the sparklings while she kept Jinx busy.

Jinx spotted Starfire and opened fired on her. Only a few shots fit the young femme as she escaped into the safety of the base. "Hey slag for breath looking for me?" Safire asked opening fire on her enemy. Startled, the black mech took cover and waited.

Meanwhile, Starfire ran through the base trying to find her father.

Little Slugbug and Kryptonight were safe, but only Slugbug knew it. The two little ones, feeling more safe than usual, fell into a deep recharge in the tunnel that Slugbug had crawled into. Slugbug knew in his spark that they were safe. He just had no idea how much havoc that he would create by sneaking off with his brother into the safe area that they found.

Meanwhile, Starscream was furious. His sparkmate was passed out, his sparklings were missing, jinx was attacking Safire, and the "bolts for brains" had harmed Starfire. It was getting harder and harder for Starscream to contain his rage, as his energon boiled. I will kill him , he thought, I will kill the glitch myself, thought Starscream and he picked up the Star Saber and headed toward the outside of the base.

Meanwhile, Starfire reached Prime, and he could see the places where Jinx had attacked her. But before Prime could even address his daughter, he got word that a exceptionally enraged seeker was going outside of the base, and no one was willing to stop the seeker as the rage that showed in the seeker's optics meant business. Prime was worried as he more so than anyone except Hotshot knew that once the Seeker was like that, there was hell to pay to whoever caused it. Prime realized he had to stop the seeker before the Seeker was injured or worse, killed.

Starfire nodded her head to her father knowing he was the only one who could stop Starscream. She stepped to the side allowing her father to move. She was still too young to understand the war fully.

Meanwhile, Safire hid behind a rock trying to keep out of sight. She had lost her weapon, vocal cords, and she was half blind. She spotted Starscream and wanted to beg him to let fate destroy her. She had no reason to live anymore and she wasn't needed anymore. Starfire could fill her shoes when she was old enough to get more training.

Prime caught up with Starscream. Optimus tried his best to stop the seeker, but nothing doing. Starscream was gone, anger raged, controlling his processor. There was only one bot that could stop the seeker now, and the little one suddenly woke. Slugbug left his brother in the tunnel, and headed toward the pained spark. While the little one was too little to understand, he just knew he was needed, and so Slugbug suddenly appeared in front of Screamer, seemingly out of nowhere. Starscream suddenly stopped as his own little sparkling stood in his way. Slugbug ran up to his dad and gave his dad a hug. And Starscream bent down to pick up his little sparkling and the anger subsided as Starscream realized his precious sparklings were safe.

And Prime was shocked that the little white and gold sparkling was able to stop the fully enraged seeker, but then Prime knew what it was like to be a parent, and was then able to understand how the little one was able to stop his father. Starscream still wanted to run outside to save Safire, but now he was using his processors instead of his emotions.

Starscream left Slugbug with Prime while Starscream continued to head out of the base, not enraged, but still feeling it his duty to defend the pregnant Safire. (Starscream found out from the medic). Even if Safire did not want to remain online, the sparkling deserved to be born. Starscream still felt it was his duty to protect Safire and that was what he was planning to do.

Starfire ran back to her father, shocked to see Starscream peaceful. The femme had no time to speak to her father, she was hell bent on helping her sister. She ran outside and went to Safire's side. She had learned how to repair wounds from watching Ratchet. She quickly repaired her sisters vocal cords, "better?" she asked.

"Yes, thanks" Safire replied quietly, her vocal cords where still adjusting. Starfire nodded and stayed with her sister just in case Starscream couldn't keep Jinx busy.

Jinx glared at Starscream, "Well look who finally decided to show up. I thought you where Safire's guardian or so her father told me, or is that not so?" he said, spying Slugbug.

Starscream was angry, but then he looked where Jinx's optics were and saw Slugbug. Oh no. the little sparkling was outside and in deadly danger. But before Starscream could save the little one, Jazz and Prowl came racing out and grabbed the little sparkling. Slugbug could still watch what was going on, but now Prowl and Jazz had him safely in their arms. Jinx realized that the sparkling was Starscream's kid, and realized that he was in trouble as the look in Starscream's optics flared with an anger than Jinx had never seen before, but not being one to back down, Jinx waited for the fight that was to come.

But before anything could happen, a bright light enveloped all the transformers on the battlefield. Unknown to all, primus, who wanted peace and this last little skirmish to stop, was using the power he had blessed Slugbug with to stop the fight. Bots were frozen in place, all except Slugbug.

Slugbug climbed down from the arms he was in. and without fully understanding what he was doing walked up to Jinx, completely unafraid. Jinx was startled as he was unable to move and could see the little sparkling was possessed by the power of primus. oh crap thought Jinx what is going on?

Starscream was scared as his precious little sparkling walked up to the black bot. Starscream did not know what to expect, but hoped that this would not end with Slugbug offline.

Safire shined a bright blue before being able to move again. Her own creator and cousin wanted peace among Safire's kind. She moved towards Slugbug and picked him up in her arms. She then moved towards Jinx before reaching around the back of Jinx's neck and allowing him to move. The femme put Slugbug down but told him he was safe and in no danger. Before Jinx could get away or attack Safire, the red femme kissed her ex. It was no normal kiss; it was a kiss of peace.

Another bright light flashed and Jinx was gone. Safire picked Slugbug up again and waited for the others to unfreeze. She felt like the world had dies and it was haunting.

Something is Safire's spark told her to return home as soon as possible. She would have flown off at that moment, yet something was holding her to earth. She had so many friends, how could she leave them?

The light suddenly went away as soon as it came. The other transformers shook their heads, as if coming out of a trance. Prowl and Jazz were scared as little Slugbug was no longer with them and they did not want to face Starscream's wrath, but they soon found that little Slugbug was safe, but passed out in Safire's arms. Prime and Starscream shook their heads, and noticed the scene. Jinx was no longer there, but Safire was holding little Slugbug. The little one was still online, but had passed out due to being young, only a few months old, but helping to bring peace. Starscream went up to Safire, who was crying as she looked at the little sparkling who helped save her. Safire was now able to see how precious little sparklings were, and she was determined now to carry her own sparkling to term.

Meanwhile, Hotshot had roused after passing out and after hearing little clicks and chirps of a scared sparkling. Hotshot then noticed a vent tunnel. Hotshot sent in Override because Hotshot was far too big to see what was going on. Override barely fit, as she had to belly crawl into the tunnel.

Suddenly, a terrified little blue and silver seekerling came and grabbed a hold of her. She slowly backed, and both she and Hotshot were surprised when Kryptonight came out, scared but unharmed. Hotshot relaxed a little until he realized that Slugbug was missing. This was not good as the bot passed out again.

Starscream took Slugbug's little sleeping form from Safire's arms; and Starscream hugged his little one tightly. Safire watched as she remembered when Starscream used to do that with her when she was little. Only now did she understand how precious little sparklings were. Her own life was saved by a little sparkling who did not know her, but had felt the call and answered it.

Safire walked away from the family letting them reunite with one another. She headed back into the base and found her friend.

"Passed out again?" Safire asked Override "tell him Slugbug is with Starscream" with that she turned and walked away again. She headed to her corner. She sat down and fell into a light recharge. She hoped no one would come looking for her.

Starscream, noticing that Safire had curled up into recharge, went over and kneeled down by the femme. She was just like he remembered her. Starscream gently stroked her cheek and in Cybertronian, sang her the song that he had so many years ago to get her to fall asleep.

After finishing, Starscream backed away and watched over Safire slumber from a distance, as he waited for little Slugbug to arouse. Starscream, realizing that Hotshot had passed out, sent his sparkmate a message so that Hotshot knew both Slugbug and Kryptonight were safe.

Starscream was greatly relieved first when Slugbug woke up and then when Prime came up to him and looked down at the little one. Starscream took one look at Optimus and realized that Optimus wanted to hold Slugbug as a way of saying thanks. Starscream knew Slugbug was picky with who held him, but Starscream was not going to deny Prime the chance to hold the little one.

And so Starscream handed little Slugbug over to Optimus, and much to Starscream's surprise, Slugbug did not scream or cry, but he hugged the leader, his little arms barely able to connect around the leader's neck. Prime was touched, as he had never had any sparkling, other than his own, take to him so quickly, especially one as picky as Slugbug. As the hug ended, Optimus looked into the little one's optics and saw wisdom as well as curiosity. This little one was going to be one heck of a transformer when he grew up, but for now, he was a precious little sparkling.

Safire continued to sleep, dreaming of what was to come in a short five months. She also wondered where Jinx really had gone. Maybe he finally decided to give up and bring peace, or maybe he was just waiting for the right time to strike again. The femme would have to wait and find out, but for now she was safe in the Autobot's base.
