"Hey CJ! Ya coming or what homie?"

"Yeah hang on a sec!"

A big built, dark skinned man stood, grabbing a pair of black uzi guns and placing them in a pocket on the inside of his black jacket. He grabbed a set of car keys, before rushing out into the night.

Outside, several cars were parked up, three or four men standing by each one as it followed the circular road, all dressed in black jackets and jeans. Three blue stripes sat on their arms, all three different shades of blue. The lightest blue was on the outside of their coats, the darkest closest to their armpits and chests. Some wore bandanas on their heads, or neckerchiefs around their necks. They all looked up when CJ walked out, heading for the first car in the pack.

"Alright lets go. Spice, follow up behind me. Bez take your lot round the back way jus in case we're ambushed"

A series of nods followed as everyone entered their cars, engines whirring to life before going their separate ways. As the selection of cars rolled down the road, a jet watched from the sky, swooping down as it plotted their destination. It stayed above the clouds, out of sight as the vehicles below continued down the road, street lights lighting up as they rolled on into the night towards an old warehouse….

Minutes later, crates and boxes were slowly carried out of the building, some being helped by forklifts and trollys. Men and women worked quickly and quietly as they loaded them into the back of their vehicles, the rear suspention lowering from the weight in each box.

"How we doin Fig?"

"Almost done C! Jus give us ten mins"

"Kay. I'm gonna check the rest of the place in case there's some more"

"Careful CJ the Ballas might be lurkin"

CJ nodded, heading round the back of a large pile of crates as his gang members continued to load the vehicles they'd driven with boxes. The dark skinned man suddenly came to a halt, hearing a noise not too far away. It sounded like a child coughing…

Drawing his uzis, CJ turned a corner, freezing when he came eye to optic with a robotic black and white jet. Reacting, he drew his guns.

"Freeze Deceptiwhatever!"

The bot blinked "Decepticon?"

"Yer dat!"

"I-I'm not a Decepticon… My name is Eclipse… I'm a neutral a-and I need your help…"

CJ blinked, slowly lowering his weaponry as the mech lowered two white bundles of cloth so he could see.

"I need you to take care of these for me… I've been observing the way you and your team work a-and look after each other and well…"

CJ looked down at the two piles of cloth as the larger jet handed them to him. He immediately realised that there was something in the cloths. A surprised gasp suddenly escaped his mouth when one of them moved. Eclipse smiled.

"What da fuck?"

"Don't drop them… They're really fragile"

"What are dey?"

"Sparklings…"

The gangster carefully unwrapped one of the cloths, revealing a small white sparkling, fast asleep in the blanket. Two aerial-like objects sat on the sides of the child's head, twitching occasionally when someone or something made a noise.

"That's Diode… His audios are incredibly sensitive to be careful with noise around him… He's also the smallest of the two and can get afraid easily"

CJ nodded in understanding, unfolding the second blanket. Another sparkling lay in it, identical to the first except its small frame was black. There were no aerials on its helm but a tiny scratch sat on its forehead.

"And that's his twin brother Diablos. He looks out for Diode and won't leave him alone so I suggest you don't separate them…"

"Ey wait a minute. Won't dey like grow up ta be taller den like… my house?!"

Eclipse chuckled "No do not worry. I've fitted them with shrinking devices a friend of mine made a while back. They won't grow any taller than you are now"

"Dats alrite then… But why can't ya keep em?"

The black and white jets smile faded.

"I… I don't want them to be hurt in the warfare happening on Cybertron. The battles have already taken my bondmate from me, I can't loose them too… It'll be strange… but please you and your fellow humans are my last hope of keeping them safe…"

"But… What do dey eat? I dunno anyting about alien kids!"

"They've been modified to be able to eat your human solids and drink your human liquids… although Diode doesn't like anything spicy"

"Sa no curry then…" The man nodded "Alrite I'll take em but how the others are gonna react I don't know…"

A thankful smile crossed the black and white jets faceplates as he looked up at the moonlit sky through a large hole in the old warehouse roof.

"I have to get back. My own team needs me…"

"Kay… Good luck Eclipse… I hope ta see ya soon in da future"

"I can't guarantee that… but I'll try. Goodbye CJ"

CJ watched as the dark jet took off into the air, transforming and speeding off at full speed. For a while he just stood there, not exactly coming to terms with what had just happened to him. He was brought back to reality when he felt a small hand around his finger, weakly squeezing it. Looking down, he couldn't help but smile. Diode looked up at him, wide blue optics blinking curiously, his hand holding onto his index finger. The mechling squeaked when he gently stroked the side of his face, shifting his hold on Diablos so he didn't drop him.

"Yo CJ! Ya alrite back der?"

"Yer I'm good!"

"We're all dun ere!"

"Kay! I'll be der in a min you ain't gonna believe wot I gotta tell ya!"
