Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro. This story was written as a request from :iconleilad80: and she is the one who come up with the ideas for the characters Bombshell, Nightwish, and Florent. I gave Nightwish her Decepticon nickname; I also named the parents Bomber and Skylight. This is strictly a fan fic and will have some mild violence with fighting and may have some implied slash in later chapters. No like – no read. No flames or harsh comments. Constructive criticisms welcome. Enjoy!
After the fight, Bombshell was less concerned about who or what she fought than the mech that she helped rescue. He looked very strange but something about him made Bombshell's spark feel pain. She could not describe it, but she watched Ratchet closely as he repaired the neutral mech. Bombshell had no idea how one could remain neutral so long, but somehow this mech had managed it.
And once Ratchet had done all he could to help the injured mech, he left Bombshell alone with the rescued mech. Bombshell just stood there in complete silence, as she was not sure about the feelings she was feeling deep inside. She had always believed that she was the last of her family to survive; in essence, believing that both her twin sister Nightwish and her brother Florent had been killed by the evil Decepticons as she almost had been several times. She remembered the night she was saved by Jazz and how her life was never the same, as she helped to fight with the Autobots.
But soon her memory lane walk was interrupted as she heard the rescued mech start to moan and come back online. He looked up at her and began to talk.
"Ohhh….Where am I?" he asked raspily.
"You are in the med bay in the Autobot base" replied Bombshell, trying to sound professional.
"I am at the Autobot base? How did I get here?" asked the worried mech.
"I rescued you, sir. I found the cave and you appeared to be about ready to go offline if you did not get help" replied Bombshell, slightly worried that the unpredictable bot would attack her.
The mech thought for a bit and then asked, "and who are you?"
"My name is Bombshell, I am a scout for the Autobots" replied Bombshell, happy as she had just learned that she had passed her test with flying colors.
The mech's optics opened wide in surprise and then he stated, "I once had a sister named Bombshell, but I had always believed that she had died a long time ago."
Bombshell was floored, and then she asked the all important question, "What is your designation, soldier?"
"They call me the hermit, but my given name is Florent" replied the injured mech, still recovering from his wounds.
Bombshell was shell-shocked into silence. Could this be? Could it be true that this was her little brother? Her processor was spinning and she felt compelled to see if this mech was truly her little brother.
"Florent, do the names Nightwish, Bomber, and Skylight mean anything to you?" asked a very curious Bombshell.
"wow, I never thought a soldier would ask me something so personal nor did I think anyone would know the names of my other sister, my mom and my dad. Are you sure that you are qualified to interrogate me?" replied the mech, slightly annoyed at the personal nature of the question.
"The reason I ask you, Florent, is because those are the names of my twin sister and my parents who died a long time ago" replied Bombshell angrily, not realizing that she had given herself away to the neutral mech.
"wait a minute," replied Florent, "Let me get this straight. Nightwish is your twin sister, Bomber is your father, and Skylight is your mother?"
"yes," replied Bombshell, silently searching to make sure no one was around to ruin her moment," and I had a young brother named Florent who I have not seen in years, as Nightwish and I had a fight and Nightwish took him with her when we split."
Florent processed what he had heard, he remembered being led to the Decepticon base with his sister and then he remembered running away. He remembered how Nightwish had told him their sister Bombshell was as good as dead. And then he remembered living in fear for years that either side of the war would kill him by accident. He remembered the last battle he had against some D-con femme who had wanted him to join them and he remembered being left for dead when he refused. And with all the memories flooding his mind, Florent realized just who the Autobot scout was that had saved him. It was his long lost sister, Bombshell.
"Bombs, please forgive me. It has been a long time, and I thought you had died so long ago" replied Florent, tears in his optics, "and your twin is not dead either. Nightwish is with the Decepticons, under the name Nightmare."
It was only then, and after a brief hug, that Bombshell thought back to the fight. She realized that the femme she had fought against felt somewhat familiar. And though she denied that feeling even now, Florent's information made her rethink about the fight. But she pushed it from her mind as she realized that Optimus and Ratchet were coming back in to talk to the injured mech. She smiled at his quickly, then remained at his side as Optimus came in, towering over everyone in the room. Florent was glad that Bombshell stayed, or he would have leaked lubricant as soon as the towering mech came into the room. However, Florent soon realized that while Optimus looked imposing, he was a compassionate leader who tried his best to help other bots.
Meanwhile, at the Con's base, Nightmare was mad! She had been trying to get that mech for an earth fortnight to join the Cons. She had done everything in her power, only to lose the neutral mech to some dumb femme on the other team thanks to a miscue on Starscream's part. Nightmare's only consolation prize was listening as Megatron beat the living tar out of the Seeker to the point where the seeker could barely function. And then Nightmare (Nightwish) heard a sound she was not prepared for, as Skywarp and Thundercracker were told to dump Starscream's badly beaten body somewhere where no one would find him.
As Thundercracker and Skywarp flew with the barely online body of Starscream, they dumped him in an area that they thought no one would be in. And once they dropped him off, Warp and TC returned to the Con base, per Megatron's orders. Little did they know that where they left Starscream would attract someone's attention.
Meanwhile, after having talked to Optimus Prime, Florent was resting in the med bay and Bombshell left the base in her alt mode to think as everything she had believed about her family had now been proven wrong even by the very fact that she had found and rescued her long lost brother. And as she found what seemed to be an abandoned area to think, she her moans and well as clanking metal. And as she crossed over the hill, she found a badly beaten mech struggling to stay online. The purple insignias had been ripped through and ripped clean off, leaving gaping holes in the seeker's wings. Bombshell's spark went out to the poor mech and she instantly called for help. If only she could get the bot to stay online to help arrived. And so, while waiting for help to arrive, she sang an old song that her mother once sang to her to get her to wake in the morning. And she kept repeating it, hoping that her comrades were soon on their way to help the badly beaten and suffering seeker.
