chapter 4

Starscream was tending to Starshine. "You are such a sweetie." Starscream said.

The other Autobots went to battle.

So Starscream was alone in the base. Except for Red alert and the kids. There was some noise. Thrust had broke into the base. Red alert made the children hide and had Starscream lock herself and the sparkling in the nursery.

Thrust was searching for the Skyboom shield and the Star saber. Then he heard something. It sounded almost like crying.

Starscream was trying to sooth her fussy child by shaking the rattle Side swipe gave to the sparkling.

"Sounds like a sparkling. But I have no time for that now I have to find the weapons." Thrust said.

He found the weapons and began to think about the sound heard. "I thought I heard a sparkling or could of been faulty machinery." Thrust said.

He warped back to the moon base and met up with other cons. "Very good Thrust you have brought us the Skyboom shield and the Star saber sword." Megatron asked.

"Yes sir but I heard a sound when I came in to the Autobots base." Thrust said.

"So what?" Cyclonus said.

"Shut up Cyclonus!" Megatron barked. "What did you hear Thrust?' he asked.

"I was sure I heard the crying of a sparkling." Thrust said.

"A sparkling are you that stupid? All the sparklings Autobot and Decepticon are refugees like their families." Cyclonus said.

"Yes but I heard one. At least I thought I did. It could of been faulty machinery. The sound was very faint I couldn't tell." Thrust said.

"Maybe the Autobots found an expect femme and delivered her baby." Wheeljack said.

"Do you think Starscream could be the mother?" Demolisher asked.

"You are stupid Starscream wasn't pregnant." Cyclonus said.

"Maybe Demolisher is right I heard stories that some femmes didn't know they were pregnant until the sparkling was born." Wheeljack said. "I should know my mother told me she didn't know she was pregnant until I was born!" he said.

"Okay you got me." Cyclonus said.

"We'll worry about this later. Thrust you should of went to look if you thought you heard a sparkling because that way I could have raised a perfect successor from scratch! But what is done is done. We can probably get more information about this later." Megatron said.

"Yes sir." Thrust said.

At the Autobot base Red alert made it to the nursery and knocked on the door. "Starscream Thrust is gone you can come out." Red alert said.

Starscream came out feeding Starshine. "Did he take?" Starscream asked.

"Yes he did be the good thing is no one was hurt." Red alert said.

"I hope he didn't hear Starshine, she was starting to cry when Thrust invaded the base." Starscream said.

"He probably did and he probably reported what he heard." Red alert said.

"I hope they don't come back here to look for her." Starscream said.

"Don't worry we won't let them doing anything." Red alert said.

The Decepticons destroyed a comet that was near earth's atmosphere and Optimus prime sacrificed himself to save earth. Hot shot took it the hardest and wasn't being much of a help. He was even pushing away Starscream and Starshine.

Scavenger decided enough was enough and he took Hot shot out of the base to teach him a lesson.

The other Autobots were helping out. Finally Hot shot realized what he was doing and stopped.

The others were relieved. Hot shot went up to Starscream. "Sweet-spark I'm so sorry." he said.

"It's okay." she said.

Hot shot then stroked his little daughter's head.

Now Hot shot was commander of the Autobots.

Hot shot was a bit nervous about taking the Matrix at first. But Hot shot remember Optimus wanted him to have it. He took a deep breath and let it out. So he took the Matrix and placed it in his chest cavity.

Hot shot changed into a new version of himself.

Arise Shotimus prime.

He heard in his mind.

The others were shocked at Hot shot's change.

"So Hot shot how does it feel to be the new commander?" Alexis asked.

"Great, I heard a voice call me Shotimus prime." Hot shot said.

"I heard sometimes once the Matrix is passed down the holder gets a new name sometimes." Smokescreen said.

"Looks like you name is now Shotimus." Scavenger said.

"We are ready to serve you Shotimus prime sir." Jetfire said.

The Autobots were finishing up their ship. Starscream even tried to help. Red alert made specail sling so she could carry Starshine close to he middle. He also made on to carry her on her back.

Shotimus would sometimes carry his daughter in one of them. Which meant hearing uncontrollable laughing from some of the other Autobots. Side swipe didn't laugh all he did was ask if he could ever do it.

"You can when you babysit." Starscream said.

"Babysit? You what me to babysit her?" Side swipe asked.

"Shotimus and I agreed when we need a sitter we'll go to you. You are go to sitter. You are her uncle." Starscream said.

Side swipe blushed and got silly smile on his face. "I'll do my best," he said.

"Starscream your embarrassing him." Smokescreen said.

"I'm not trying to," she said.

The crew continued to build the ship. They even placed in a nursery for little Starshine who is only a month old.

With the humans tagging along things were going to be wild. Once they neared the Decepticon ship the Autobots engaged the Decepticons in battle. Megatron saw Shotimus. "Who are you?" Megatron asked.

"Your worst nightmare," Shotimus said. "I am Shotimus prime!" he said.

The Decepticons retreated. Everyone was alright. Shotimus had never felt such a rush. But he was relieved that it was over. Now it was time to head back to Cybertron.

Megatron was laughing will floating through space. "Looks like I have a new foe." Megatron said.

"You all did well." Shotimus said.

A worm hole appeared and sucked Red alert and Side swipe in.

Shotimus had arrived on the planet to save them. "Megatron use the requiem blaster." Shotimus said.

"Call me Galvatron." Galvatron said.

Once Nemesis prime was destroyed both teams headed off to Cybertron.

Upon the threat of Unicron Side swipe decided to go on a mission to talk to Galvatron by invading the Decepticon base.

"But what will Shotimus do about it Side swipe may need help." Alexis said.

"Side swipe decided to do something that might risk his life and even though he is Shotimus' younger brother he can not play favorites it is tough thing for Shotimus." Red alert said.

Wheeljack and Side swipe teamed up to get the traitor Thrust. They witnessed the horrors of Unicron. Wheeljack knew he had to do something. Wheeljack had been wounded in a fight against Megatron. Wheeljack knew where he truly belonged.

Wheeljack found his life saved from Unicron by Shotimus prime.

Megatron upon seeing the threat of Unicron is real he knew it was time for a truce and stop Unicron.

Wheeljack was recovering in the medical bay of the Autobot ship.

Now it was time to defeat Unicron.

To be continued.
