chapter 4

Stardust was fussing. Megatron was pleased he saw the sparkling had blue optics. She was only a couple of weeks old. Hook being the medic said that true optic color doesn't appear until the second month of life.

Starscream placed her down on his bed for a nap. Soundwave came in. "Ravage eject." he said. Ravage came out.

"Make sure the sparkling is under disturbed and protected." Soundwave said.

Then Ravage leapt on to the bed and curled up next to the sparkling as she slept.

Meanwhile at the ark Cliffjumper was crying. "My sparkling my sweet little Stardust is gone!" she sobbed.

"Don't worry Cliffjumper we'll get her back." Mirage said.

"Yeah we will bring back Stardust don't worry." Ironhide said.

"I found the location." Perceptor said.

"Mirage you stay here and look after Cliffjumper the rest of us will bring Stardust home." Optimus said.

"Oh thank you." Cliffjumper said sobbing.

At the nemesis Stardust was starting to wake up from her nap. Ravage sniffed the sparkling's face then gently nuzzled it. It made Stardust giggle. She could tell Ravage was cat cassette like Steeljaw but different. Stardust was now hungry and started to cry.

Another Decepticon came in. It was Ramjet. "Be quiet you little runt I have a headache!" Ramjet snapped.

But Stardust cried louder. Ramjet was starting to get annoyed and was about to get closer to the sparkling. Ravage snarled at him and got in a protective stance over Stardust.

Then Hook came in. "What is going on in here?" Hook asked and he saw Stardust crying.

"This little runt won't be quiet." Ramjet said.

"She's not crying to irritate you she it is her way of saying she needs something." Hook said and walked to Stardust. Ravage watched him carefully. "I won't hurt her," he told Ravage. Then picked Stardust up. "Good kitty." he told Ravage.

Hook took a look. "Somebody's hungry," he said. Hook then gave Stardust a bottle. "There you go little one." he said.

Stardust finished up the bottle. Then Hook put her up to his shoulder and patted her back. Stardust burped and sighed.

Then Hook placed her back on the bed where she went back to sleep. Ravage nuzzled the sparkling and lay down next to her.

"Why is Ravage here?" Ramjet asked.

"Soundwave must have put him here to keep her safe." Hook said. "After this child is the daughter of the second in command." he said.

"She is Starscream's daughter?" Ramjet asked.

"Yes she is now we better let her sleep." Hook said leaving and Ramjet followed.

A few hours later the bots ran in the other bots were fighting the Decepticons. Bumblebee left to search for Stardust. He looked in every room. Then He found her. Ravage saw him and growled. But when Stardust saw Bumblebee she reached out to him and giggled. That made Ravage back off. Bumblebee quickly picked up Stardust. Then ran out of the room with her.

Ravage some how knew that Stardust loved the Autobots and knew that living with the Decepticons was not meant for her.

Optimus saw Bumblebee had Stardust. Then they rushed out of the nemesis with Stardust in Bumblebee's arms.

Starscream was completely furious his daughter taken from him.

The Autobots made it back to the ark. Cliffjumper saw Bumblebee carry Stardust in. He handed the sparkling to her. "My sparkling, my sweet little Stardust is alright." she said.

"Bumblebee is the one who rescued her." Ironhide said.

"I went into the room and Ravage was guarding she reached out to me and she reached out to me and Ravage backed off." Bumblebee said.

"I never thought Ravage would do that." Mirage said.

"Thank you Bumblebee." Cliffjumper said and kissed his cheek.

"No problem." Bumblebee said.

Stardust was home safe and sound.

Let's hope this doesn't happen again.

To be continued.
