Hi, I just wanted to thank you for everyone that has been reading my fanfics so far and this of course is about Jetfire that deals his controlled destiny by Unicron. Please be aware, I know that they aren't related by blood or whatever. This is just story about family and what children should believe in and I also wanted to show that nobody's perfect meaning not everyone is bad guy because you don't like them. Why make enemies when you can just ignore your hate if they bothered you? I know hating and bullying people are fun but really just don't go overboard.

Chapter 2
White Knight
"Jetfire, wake up." Skywarp called as he shaken Jetfire's shoulder. As Jetfire revealed his yellowish optics from recharging, he was told to him.
"What is it this time?" Jetfire asked as he closely followed Skywarp's behind.
"It's Jetstorm. He's having another vision."
In another room where Blitzwing and Jetstorm stayed, Skywarp and Jetfire saw Jetstorm struggling to get up but with his optics shut, it seemly looked like he was having a nightmare until Jetfire called his name.
With sudden jerk in his systems, Jetstorm lighten his optics. "Father calls us." He said as he sat up.
Blitzwing slightly growled. "Damn that old man...can't he at least call us earlier before we gotten in the Decepticons forces?"
"Be quiet, Blitzwing. It supposes to be secret alright?" Skywarp snapped but said it quietly as possible.
"Then we should get moving." Jetfire said. "And somebody, go get Starscream."
The five of them left in the middle of the night, leaving undetected from the Decepticon base. They flew and travel into space to come in contact to their true master who called them. In the wreckage of Unicron, the group came upon his lifeless head.
"Hello anybody home?" Blitzwing called loudly as his voice echoed throughout the large head.
"Father, it is us. We have returned as you requested." Jetstorm said as he and the others looked around them.
"I know my seekers." Said looming voice as in front of them appeared a hologram of mini version of a transformer who had no alliance to anybody but for himself.
"Lord Unicron." Starscream said as he bowed down before him along with everyone else except Blitzwing who he had no respect towards him.
"Save your bows, please go meet Slipstream in the control room; she'll fill in your objectives." The mighty Unicron said as he phrased out from the hologram.
"Father..." Jetfire called as he slightly clutched his fists of anger.
Skywarp then looked at the rest. "Come on, while he still have some energy left."
Unicron's body was badly damaged ever since he invaded Cybertron and where the Autobots and Decepticons triumph over the planet eater but nobody knew, that Unicron had litter of soldiers from his own core. The seekers, he called them, each having specific powers to control at their own will and at times, it is controlled by Unicron himself. They were sky warriors and they were born to seek and obey to whatever their master commanded...to bad that their father was Unicron.
"Slipstream," Starscream called as he approach yet another seeker, the only daughter of Unicron. "Apparently you have plans for us, so tell us, dear what is it?"
The young female seeker slightly frowned. "Why must you pester us, Starscream, even when your not one of us?"
"Because I let you guys in and I want the job done right not to mention, I let my own cousin to become one of you fools."
"Don't be a fool, Starscream. You wouldn't have known that Skywarp was the son of Unicron since the day, he was born."
"Enough chatter!" Skywarp cried as he stopped the rising argument. "Please, Slipstream for the sake of father. What are our objectives?"
Slipstream slightly smiled to her younger half brother. "We located a faint energon source that suddenly been activated deep in the Earth's core."
"On Earth...? You can't be serious..." Blitzwing recalled.
"The energy ratings matches a certain project that professor, Thrust have invented."
"Pencil-head...? Is that bastard still alive?" Jetstorm started to complain.
"For the god of Primus, tell us...what project?" Starscream then invaded.
"Project Rainmakers," Slipstream said and then realized Jetfire's face dropped.
Jetfire who was standing behind from the rest, looked away, feeling slightly annoyed.
"Jetfire," His brother called as he looked at him. "Are you going too...?"
"Yes, I'll take this."
"But Jetfire, it's dangerous, Earth is Autobots' territory." Skywarp started to argue but that didn't stop Jetfire.
"Well I don't care!" he said angrily to them.
Starscream then begun to chuckle, "Jetfire, you always been a fool in the start! Spreading your disgusting disease of Unicron upon Cybertron and now he affected Earth!"
"Watch your mouth, Starscream! You're not exactly welcomed here!" Slipstream hissed.
"I'm sorry but I wouldn't ignore this any longer, please tell me the exact coordinates." Jetfire asked Slipstream who looked at him, kind of pitying him.
"Hey, don't you think this is weird." Jazz compliment as he stared out to the Energon flowers from his office. Prowl who sat in front of him was busying checking his computer.
"What's weird?" Prowl asked as he checked the health rate of Cybertron.
"The flowers, there so many and have the same ratings as Energon but I thought we were running low of them on Cybertron."
"You have a point there Jazz."
"What?"
"Check this." Prowl said as he turned his monitor to Jazz. "The health rate of Cybertron is off the charts and for the resources, we have more energon then we expected!"
"How is that possible?" Jazz said as he recalled the war. "It's only been a year since we faced Unicron and we didn't even have enough Energon to even activate our battle cannons."
"No kidding...it like the energon is reacting for some reason."
Jazz then felt uneasy. "We should tell this to Prime."
"In the Arctic...?" Optimus recalled what Ratchet just said.
"Yeah, I just suddenly got an energy source coming from there. It's faint but it's still going."
"Alright, activate the Space Bridge, Ironhide, Perceptor, and Smokescreen. Come with me."
"Yes sire." Smokescreen and Perceptor said as Ironhide just nodded.
"Can I come too?" Optimus then looked who replied and he saw the youngest Datsun, whose older brothers were Prowl and Smokescreen.
"Don't be idiot, Bluestreak besides you're only a youngling." Smokescreen said and he was right much younger then the seekers and yet shorter as a kid.
"I am not, I'm a scout now! And I'm part of the team if you like it or not!" Bluestreak put up the fight.
Smokescreen then just crossed his arms, completed annoyed. "Don't listen to him, Prime. He just not ready..."
Optimus just smiled. "Well, I for one believed everyone deserves a chance. You may come along, Bluestreak."
"Nice! Thanks big bot!" Bluestreak cheered.
Ironhide then begun to smile. "You do know you're responsible for the little youngster since he is your little brother after all."
"Screw that thought!"
"Watch your language, Smokescreen if you don't recall, some of us bought younglings here." Ratchet complained as he returned to fixing young Bumblebee's leg.
"I wish I could go." Bumblebee complained but Ratchet just frowned.
"Not with that leg, kid."
Optimus then couldn't help feel lively in their small Autobot dome base in Iacon as he begun to realize not only soldiers lived and worked in the base but also friends and families that stick together since the war against Megatron, Optimus couldn't dare to leave an orphan stray. He's just surprised he hasn't seen a Decepticon orphan yet.
"Brother or not, he's one of the most annoying things ever! He just never stops talking!"
Optimus then approached Smokescreen and Ironhide. "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility since I considered of letting him tag along."
"Prime..." Smokescreen recalled as things gotten quiet and dreamy. "You must be joking right? Seriously, big bot..." Until Smokescreen said that, regardless if the topic was about his brother.
"Get ready, the Space Bridge will open in one-cycle." Red Alert said who minded the controls.
"Autobots transform and roll out!" Optimus reclaimed his motto.
Followed by Ironhide, Smokescreen, Perceptor and Bluestreak, they phrase through the portal and landed into the cold province of Arctic.
It was nice, there was no wind and it wasn't snowing at night. The Arctic was a glorious winter place that apparently it had something else there too.
The Autobots weren't the only ones there, Jetfire who was teleported upon Earth, landed softly against the snow under his numbed metal feet. He gave in a harsh breather. Frustrated with his brothers and Starscream who told him over and over not to go but he wanted too, he needed too. He thought. Perhaps it was only the name Project Rainmakers drew his attention if not...
"Dammit...!" Jetfire yelped as the snow under his feet begun to collapse. It wasn't a long drop but Jetfire was covered in snow nearly buried but he swore he shouldn't give up now.
"Did you hear that?" Bluestreak recalled as he heard a faint cry.
"It must be the ghost of the Arctic, Bluestreak just getting ready to munch on young bots like you."
"Shut up." Bluestreak said as he frowned, he wasn't scared...maybe and it wasn't the ghost that his brother mentioned...it was that cry he heard.
"Stick together everyone; I wouldn't like to send a search party." Optimus requested that made Bluestreak running back to his side.
"Optimus...! There's a blizzard coming our way." Perceptor warned when he scanned the area.
"It must be underground," Smokescreen pointed out. "With all this snow, it probably buried the source."
"Yeah whether it's Energon or just a base powering up," Ironhide said in the following.
Bluestreak looked beyond the winter's land and spotted something in a distance. "Look, I think I found something!" Bluestreak recalled as he started to race towards it.
"Wait, Bluestreak...come back!" Smokescreen cried as the blizzard came upon them. "Bluestreak...!"
With blistering winds, it foggy their sights, Optimus growled as the laws of nature were against them. "I'll go get him." He requested as he started moving.
"No, wait Prime. We should stick together!" Ironhide reminded but as the snow continued to block their views, Optimus was gone.
Bluestreak slightly groaned as he thought chasing down the thing he saw was a bad idea. Now all he sees is darkness until someone call out for him.
"Hey...what the Primus are you doing here...kid?"
Bluestreak shuddered as he realized he was leaning against some snow and ice but as he looked on, he saw a white transformer with a red helm. "Who are you...?" He had to ask.
Jetfire just sighed; he never expected to meet an Autobot youngling here. "That's none of your concern." Jetfire said as he turned around.
Bluestreak then realized they were in icy cavern as he looked up, there was an opening of the cavern that's probably where he fell... but as Bluestreak looked at Jetfire once more, he noticed his purple insignia, right on his chest.
"You're...a Decepticon!" He screamed.
Jetfire then smirked with amusement. "Are you scared?"
Bluestreak just shook his head. "Of course not, I'm just surprise you're a Decepticon despite your bright color armour."
The Decepticon slightly growled. "I thought so...don't be surprise that I'm born this way."
"Well I don't believe that, you must have switched alliance, I mean come on...a white knight in a Decepticons forces?"
"Knight...?" Jetfire said as he looked at Bluestreak oddly.
"Did you have a Decepticon father and an Autobot mother perhaps? Or is it the other way around?"
Suddenly Jetfire begun to feel irritated as Bluestreak continued to blabber on, "You talk too much." He finally said.
"That's that everyone says but I don't mind. Besides I was meant to talk a lot right?"
"Anyway..." Jetfire cuts in. "Is anyone else here besides you?"
"Yeah, there's Ironhide, Perceptor, my idiotic older brother, Smokescreen and Optimus Prime!"
Jetfire flinched. "Prime..." He said quietly to himself.
Bluestreak didn't notice as he continued to speak. "And we are here because we sensed an energy source...!"
The Decepticon then growled. 'Dammit...Autobots, always invading,' but as he couldn't waste his time on thoughts, Jetfire moved on and walked down the cavern path.
"Hey, don't leave me behind!" Bluestreak cried as he followed him. Jetfire sighed as the young Autobot tagged himself along but he just couldn't leave him there...could he?
Prime grunted, he didn't see it coming but either way, he fell down into the icy cavern. As Optimus stood up, he knew right away, that he couldn't get out of the cavern so he begun scanning whatever trances back to Bluestreak. "Bluestreak...are you here...?" He called through his com-link but with the blizzard, a simple frequency would be difficult to receive.
"Optimus...!"
Suddenly Optimus's optics widen, it was Bluestreak's call that was nearby. He knew that voice from anyone! The Autobot quickly moved closer to the echoing voice.
"Don't be so loud or else we'll be buried alive, kid."
Bluestreak just frown. "It's Bluestreak, not kid! Alright! It's Bluestreak!"
"Bluestreak...?"
"Optimus...!" Bluestreak cried as he spotted Optimus come out around the corner, he ran up to him.
Optimus was surprised as he saw Jetfire standing there as for Bluestreak, he was all over him.
"I'm glad you're alright, too." Optimus said as he patted on his shoulder. Jetfire then took this chance to leave but Optimus stopped him.
"Wait...I want to thank you for watching over Bluestreak."
Jetfire just sighed. "Next time, don't bring the kid if he is going to cause this much trouble."
"Hey..." Bluestreak mumbled.
"Well thank you anyway." Optimus responded that made Jetfire look at him.
"Please don't mention it." Jetfire said as he decided to continue to walk away from the Autobots.
"Wait...Mr. white knight!" Bluestreak called as he chased after him. "You still haven't told me, why you were here in the first place."
Jetfire shook his head, declining to tell.
Optimus was curious too so he told him. "Jetfire, please wait."
"Would you stop, pestering me, Prime? I mean really." He said as he looked back to Optimus.
"I can't do that." Optimus replied.
"Why..." Jetfire begun to say but suddenly without finishing, he choked then he started to feel his spark burning up to much that made him collapse.
"Jetfire...!" Optimus cried as he came up to the fallen body.
"Prime, watch out...!" Bluestreak suddenly cried.
Without a chance to check, Optimus gasped as he was knocked out and all he remembered last was Bluestreak crying. "Let me go, you pencil-head!"
Everything was black, all he saw was black and now someone was calling him.
"Wake up, son of Unicron."
He growled as he slowly opened his heavy eyes to a Decepticon's aerial-bot. As he tried to move, he realized he was back to back with the unconscious Autobot leader tied together with a metal bar. Unable to struggle free, Jetfire spotted Bluestreak who was resting on an examining table.
"Thrust, damn you for picking on kids...!" Jetfire scowled as he tried to move the best he can.
Thrust, the grey old mech chuckled. "You haven't changed much, Jetfire, ever since I scanned you and the others."
Optimus then was coming back too with a rude awaking, he quickly realized his situation.
"Who would have thought, you bots would bring me a spare."
"What...what are you talking about?" Optimus said as he tried to look over.
Thrust just smiled as he looked back to Bluestreak. "So young and naive...and to think this my first time to operate an Autobot youngling..."
"Damn you and your fetish, Thrust!" Jetfire cried as he and Optimus tried to move.
"Hey it's not my fault, you keep coming back."
Jetfire growled as he was reminded the reason, he was here for. "This base was supposed to be shut down! How dare you come back and start up Project Rainmakers!"
"Oh and you still remember...silly me, I shouldn't have turned on the energy storage of my lab." Thrust said with annoyance.
"Rainmakers...?" Optimus said as he started to gather the pieces.
"Oh yes, I forgot. You're new here, Optimus Prime. Would care for a quick tour?"
Jetfire then snap. "Shut up, and tell me, where are they!"
"Settle down, Jetfire. Do you really want Prime to know all about this, project?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not with him." Jetfire said as Optimus tried to figure out what they were talking about.
"Alright, I'll show you of what I done so far." Thrust said as he went over to a covered containment capsule as he went over to press upon the controls, the shell of the capsule removed itself, revealing a greenish liquid with a yellow youngling inside.
"That's a rainmaker...?" Optimus said pointing out the obvious.
"Sunstorm..." Jetfire quietly called.
Thrust then spread his smile. "If it wasn't for you, Jetfire, this youngling's life would no longer function; it's amazing what science could do."
Jetfire sighed as he knew this was his fault in the beginning. "What about..."
"Acidstorm, come in. You're old mech is here to greet you."
Jetfire looked onward as young Acidstorm came in emotionless until he saw Jetfire with disgusted look.
Thrust then started to tease. "Aren't you at least going to say hello father?"
Optimus was startled as he managed to see a green camouflage seeker, who was in the same size as Bluestreak and Optimus could sensed Jetfire that he felt unforgivable.
"Now if you don't mind, I would like to continue my infamous works." Thrust said as he went by to the examining table where Bluestreak laid. He pick him and carried him off out to the door while Optimus screamed at him.
"Bluestreak...!" Optimus cried as he tried to move but nothing worked.
Acidstorm was still there for them in the same room, staring at the Decepticon and Jetfire could tell it was filled with hate.
Minutes have pasted and Optimus given up on struggling even Acidstorm too, where his eyes wandered until he got beside his yellow clone's container and started to look at him, unconscious and floating there in the green liquid, lifeless.
"The Rainmakers... are they truly your sons?" Optimus asked as there was nothing else he could do not even his com-link was working perhaps Thrust trashed it when he was out cold.
Jetfire just sighed as he looked upon the two younglings in front of him. "No, they are not; they are merely prototypes of me."
"I don't understand..." Optimus continued to wonder. "Why would Thrust, make them out of you?"
"I have a gift." Jetfire pointed out not caring if he was spilling his secrets. "A gift that my own body can produce energy..." Jetfire said with annoyance. "Kind of like an Energon possessor."
Optimus then was getting more curious. "How is that possible?"
"It's possible when your father is a god."
The Autobot didn't know who that Jetfire was talking about but the way he said it, the Decepticon didn't seem so happy about it.
"I'm sorry," Optimus said hoping to shred his own fault out there.
"Sunstorm, and Acidstorm...I didn't know that I would have kids or even younglings that has parts of me be still alive."
"Did you assume they were dead?"
"Yeah, I did...it started that me and my siblings went out drinking one night, and somehow Thrust had persuade us that he gotten high quality stuff and of course having Blitzwing as a brother, he doesn't take no as a answer...so Thrust fed us some up-grades that was poisoned. Giving him the chance to sample us, and he would use them on experiments." Jetfire stop as he took a short breath break. "When Thrust found me again and showed me his creations, I didn't believe at all that the kids were part of me especially Acidstorm considering he doesn't have any characteristics that I have but Sunstorm...when I looked into his eyes, I just knew...that he possessed the same powers as me." Jetfire than groaned, "I know that they aren't truly my kids but it felt I should take responsibility for them if you know what I mean."
"Yeah...I know." Optimus said as he was reminded that he took responsibility for Bluestreak and now, who knows what has happened to him. Optimus felt greatly disappointed with himself.
"I guess I was quite shocked that Thrust didn't shut down the project completely."
Suddenly a loud clank startled the two mechs as Jetfire; the only one who can see saw Acidstorm was becoming frustrated, banging on the container that Sunstorm slept.
"What is Acidstorm doing...?" Optimus asked Jetfire.
"He's trying to get Sunstorm out..." Jetfire then realized something. "Acidstorm, I can help your brother!"
Acidstorm stopped and looked back at Jetfire. "I don't...believe...you..." Acidstorm tired to talk but apparently his vocals aren't well fixed yet.
"I can, this is why I'm here...I'm here to take you two back."
The young seeker then tinted his head. "Would...you...do that...for us...really...?"
"Yes if you help us out of here first."
Acidstorm then just stared and back to Sunstorm, rethinking about it but as he looked back to Jetfire again, he nodded and ran up to him. With tools of his own, he cut up the metal bar releasing the two mechs.
"Thank you, Acidstorm." Optimus said as Jetfire was already pressing upon the control panel. The container opened spilling the green liquid, over the place but that didn't matter as Jetfire gotten hold of the sleeping seeker.
"Hey...Sunstorm...wake up...it's me, Jetfire."
Sunstorm moaned before he opened his lazily eyes, he didn't say anything as he only smiled.
The Autobot leaded the way as Jetfire carried Sunstorm and held Acidstorm's hand dragging him wherever, Optimus went. As they upon a two way hallway, Acidstorm pointed to the left and by trusting the young seeker, they went left. While going down the hallway, they heard Bluestreak screaming then Thrust started yelling. "Learn your place, Autobot brat!"
"Never...!" Bluestreak screamed as he was struggling so much that annoyed Thrust as he tried to scrap him down. "Optimus, white knight help me!"
"They can't help you now!" Thrust said as he managed to scrapped Bluestreak's arms down.
"Think again, Thrust."
Thrust spooked as he turned around to see Optimus then Jetfire who came beside him and just fired at him without hesitant. The ideal Decepticon that Megatron was looking for, Optimus thought sadly. Thrust fell to his knees, and plea to the Decepticon not to kill him but Jetfire had didn't have sense to care as he aimed his gun again but Optimus stop him.
"He doesn't deserve to live."
"I know but this isn't the way, we Autobots do it."
"Fine, be that way." Jetfire grunted as he went to help Bluestreak out of the examining table then he went back to the door where Acidstorm and weak Sunstorm was waiting for him. Optimus then looked into Thrust's eyes.
"Don't be fooled by that seeker, Optimus, there's more to meet the eye with that one..." Thrust said that made Optimus more curious.
Smokescreen screamed as he stomped his foot into the snow. "We'll never find them!"
"Relax, Smokescreen! We'll find them." Ironhide said as he carried on his role as the 2nd commander of the Autobots.
"Oh Prime, where are you?" Perceptor called out to the glister winds.
"Hey...it's Optimus!" Ironhide started to cried.
"Oh you better not be shitting me, hide!" Smokescreen said as he looked where Ironhide looked. "And my little brother better be alive!"
In a distance, they saw red mech coming out of a hole then in the following three younglings.
"Bluestreak, damn that brother of mine, he's still alive!" Smokescreen said happily as the three Autobots went over to them. Jetfire was last but being a jet, it was easily to get out as he flew out of the cavern's hole.
"And a Decepticon..." Ironhide said confusedly.
Suddenly lasers out of the sky were fired at them. Optimus took the younglings to safely but for Jetfire, he knew who he was up against.
"Thrust...!" He screamed as he fired his guns.
Thrust landed in front of him and suddenly charged him, knocking Jetfire to the ground close to the edge of a cliff. Optimus quickly came back to rescue him but Jetfire who lay upon unsupportable snow, fell down along with the avalanche.
"White knight...!" Bluestreak screamed as he saw the whole thing but Smokescreen didn't dare to let go of his brother this time.
Optimus growled as he went back facing Thrust.
The next thing, Bluestreak knew what was happening; Smokescreen's hand covered his eyes in the following he heard someone scream.
"White knight...!" Bluestreak called as he and the rest of the Autobots searched the mountain below trying at least find a life that buried under the snow.
"Why...you...call him...white knight?" Acidstorm asked who was beside Bluestreak along with Sunstorm who didn't seem he could talk stare out the result of the avalanche.
"Just because..." Bluestreak said as he started to help look around.
