Disclaimer: Don't own Transformers, never will. Omega and Alpha are me. Only them. No one else...
Omega huffed as he flew through the sky, grumbling something unpleasant about his twin sister. He lowered his head and flew faster, "Stupid…no good…suck up twin sister. If she had just listened to me-" He was cut off as a familiar scream tore through the air. The young jet sparkling stopped in mid air and hovered as, under his visor, his optics went as round as dinner plates. "Sis!" He yelled, taking off towards the scream, all hatred towards his twin sister, vanished. "Alpha!! Alpha, can ya hear me?! Sis?! Where are you?!"
He waited a minute before receiving a frightened, "Omega!" in reply. The sparkling stiffened his arms against his sides and flew down faster towards his big sister.
"Omega, help!" Alpha's frightened voice screamed. "Bro!"
"Hang on, sis!" Omega called. He looked around and then swore under his breath, "I'll kill whoever's hurting or scaring my big sister. I swear it." He dove down and finally saw his big sister…who was batting away at Sharkticons with her sword. "Sis!" He yelled as he landed, afraid for Alpha.
Alpha turned her head and saw her little brother. She smiled at him, but then let out a yell of pain as two Sharkticon grabbed her arms in their mouths and sank their teeth into them. She tried to slash at the two, but one of the sharks hit her sword out of her hand with its tail as it continued to bite into her.
Behind his visor, Omega's optics flashed murder. He roared, pulling out his sword, and ran towards the many Sharkticons. Swinging his sword furiously and fearlessly, the jet knocked as many of the evil sharks away from his sister as for he could. The two that were gnawing on Alpha soon jumped over to Omega and slashed and bit his wings while clawing at his face. One of the Sharkticons managed to claw off his visor while the other practically shredded one of his wings. The two gave a sudden yelp of pain and flew off of the sparkling.
"Leave my little brother alone!" Alpha's voice growled threateningly. Omega turned and saw her with her laser in her hand, aiming at the Sharkticons that were hell bent to attack her twin brother. "I said…" She fired at them and then watched as they retreated back into the water, "Leave him alone…"
The Alpha and Omega twins glanced at each other and the next thing they knew, they were wrapped in each other's arms in a warm hug. The twins clung to each other tightly like brother and sister should and then after a minute, Alpha broke the hug before going into big sister/medic mode. The pick up truck sparkling pulled out her brother's extra visor from her subspace pocket since the Sharkticons had broken his last one and slid it on his face tenderly. She smiled and then looked at his torn wings, wincing slightly. She touched his wings, but pulled her hand away when he flinched.
Alpha looked at him, "Sorry, bro." She said, looking down.
Omega shrugged, "'S okay, sis." He said, but you could see the real pain on his face. He looked at his wings and then said wings drooped slightly when the sparkling saw their shape. "Slag. They tore up wings horribly, sis…can ya…er…ya know…"
Alpha smiled and nodded. She pulled out her tool kit and started to repair her little brother's wings. She paused when he whimpered and winced, but then continued to repair Omega's wings. Pulling out a small laser, she ran it over her brother's cuts quickly, sealing them shut. Once that was done, she pulled a small cloth out of subspace and dabbed the energon and mech fluid dry. "Try them now." She instructed, putting the many tools she had gotten out away into her subspace pocket.
Omega nodded and started to fly into the air, but then winced and landed. He shook his head, "They still hurt a bit too much, sis…" He sighed and then noticed the cuts on her arms, "Aren't you going to-"
"Eh, they'll heal. They'll not as bad as yours were." Alpha shrugged as she slid her sword into its holding spot. She looked around for more Sharkticons as her brother picked his sword up and gripped it tightly. "Bro…those things…they attacked me for no reason…"
Omega looked around for them and touched the side of his visor. After a minute of scanning, he touched it again and shook his head, "Don't worry, sis, they're gone." He assured her, following his sister's suit and sliding his sword away. "They came from the river, right?"
Alpha nodded as she looked around. She trusted her brother with her life, but she still was a bit unnerved by the Sharkticon's sudden attack that she had to make sure they weren't around with her own emerald optics. "So…what now?" She asked, looking at him with her wide optics, voice a bit frightened.
"We find somewhere to recharge, sis…" Omega said, looking at his sister, "It's getting late. One of us'll stay up for half the night and the other'll stay up for the other half while the other sleeps. 'Kay?"
"Works for me…" Alpha said timidly. She looked around and then felt her brother's arm wrap around hers. The femme looked at him and then smiled softly.
"Don't worry, sis. Master wouldn't leave us somewhere where we couldn't survive. Ya know that." Omega offered softly, smiling. He touched the corner of his visor with his free hand and scanned. "Alright. I've found a cave. C'mon, sis. Let's head there."
Alpha nodded and then let her brother lead her towards the cave. Once there, the two sparklings looked around and Alpha decided it would be good enough for now. "Flip a coin, bro." The pick up truck said, looking at him, "I call heads."
"…Why?" Omega asked, but flipped it anyways. It was heads, "Okay…now what?" He blinked, confused.
"Now, you sleep." Alpha poked his forehead. "I'm gonna watch out for those freaks, 'kay?" She said as she pulled out her laser and sat down against the cave's wall.
Omega blinked, "…Wait. You're gonna stand watch?" He asked, but then saw the look in her optics. He plopped himself down and shut of his optics behind his visor. Folding his arms, he let out a huff, but was soon in a deep recharge.
Alpha smiled at her little brother. She folded her arms, crossed her legs and then leaned back against the wall. The sparkling sighed as she felt her optics try to close and forced them open. She was not going to fall asleep. She was going to make sure that her little brother and herself weren't going to be surprised by any more mechs that wanted to hurt them. After a few hours of nothing except crickets chirping and the occasional owl, the sparkling fell into a light recharge, unable to stay awake any longer.
Omega opened his optics suddenly when a huge clap of thunder shook the ground. The black jet looked around and saw Alpha asleep against the wall. He looked at her and then jumped when another clap of thunder was heard. He scurried over to his big sister and sat down next to her. "Sis?" He asked, poking her slightly.
Alpha mumbled something and opened her emerald optics. She looked around and then saw that a huge storm was raging outside. She, like her brother, jumped when yet another clap of thunder rang through the morning sky. The two clung and cuddled into each other and their optics were as wide as dinner plates for a second time.
They closed their optics tight and tried to block out the sound of the pounding rain and claps of thunder. They did not like thunderstorms, like most kids. Usually, they wouldn't show their fear for fear of their master not understanding, though he probably would. After all, they were just children and all children had fears. Even the Alpha and Omega twins. However, now that their master wasn't anywhere near them, they felt free to express their fear.
As another clap shook the earth, Alpha jumped and Omega buried his head in her chest. He closed his optics even tighter and tightened his grip on his big sister. Alpha did the same and the two looked like a shaking ball of black and blue shapes that were stuck together in a hurry.
"I hate storms." Alpha's muffled voice said. She looked up at her brother.
The jet looked down at her and nodded, "Me too, sis." He agreed as he hugged her tighter. "Me too…"
"I wish Master was here…"
"But he'd tell us that we're being childish…" Omega said softly.
Alpha clenched her fists, "No he wouldn't…and even if he did…once he did, then he'd comfort us like he always does…"
"True…"
The twins stayed like that, close to each other, until the storm subsided a few hours later. Once that had happened, they poked their heads out of the cave and looked around, looking like two little children that had just broken a valuable vase. Once they were sure everything was clear, they slowly walked out of the cave and tried to figure out where they were going to go now. Both of them decided to stay near to the cave since it was going to be where they were probably going to spend the next two weeks if everything went as planned.
"What now?" Alpha asked quietly, looking at Omega.
The jet bit his bottom lip and looked around for a moment before replying, "I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat…that okay with you?" He asked, looking over at his sister.
Alpha nodded. She clenched her teeth and then edged over to his sister. "I'm getting that weird 'something bad's 'bout to happen' feeling, bro." She muttered, nervousness evident in her voice. "Ya know I 'ate that feeling…"
Omega nodded as well. He took his sister's hand his and then smiled softly. "Don't worry, sis. Like I said 'fore, Master wouldn't send us nowhere where we couldn't survive, 'member?"
Alpha smiled softly back at her little brother and then touched the side of her head with her free hand. Her silver crown-like thing that was on her helmet slid down over her optics and lit up. The femme looked around and scanned for a moment before the crown shaped visor slid back up. Shaking her head, she muttered, "I can't spot anything, but I know something's out there…"
"It's probably just your nerves, sis." Omega reassured her, smiling. "There's nothing out there…" I hope. He thought.
"I do too…" Alpha muttered.
Omega's optics went wide as well as Alpha's. "Did you just…hear my thoughts?" He asked, looking at his twin.
Alpha blinked. She blinked again and managed to squeak out, "Uh-huh…"\
RG: Enjoy.
