Characters: Wheeljack, Prowl, Jazz

Genre: Romance, Family, Adventure

Description: As their relationship blossomed, Moonlight's eager to become a Wrecker is ruined; Wheeljack had left the Wreckers due to it being returned to Ultra Magnus' command. Moonlight goes on a mission to track the Wrecker, thought to be somewhere on Cybertron for departure of a tour of Space, even risking death. Then she discovers about a battle, so she begins her search...

Days had passed..

Moonlight was sat by her chamber's flatscreen. Message after message update, getting messages twice a day from the Wreckers, with the same message over and over again;

"No contact from Wheeljack."

She would cry with joy at each message received, but burst into tears when getting no response.

"Wheeljack... Where are you?" she cried

Her chamber door opened slightly, Gazerbeam entered with some energon and morning datapad.

"Thought you would need refuelling," He replied, rubbing her back, giving her a hug. "I'm sorry Moon.."

She continued to cry.

Gazerbeam looked at the time. "I gotta dash to Tyga-Pax a fight broke out, more like a mini-war, including the Wreckers getting involved, been going on for 5 days now, I'm going over there with Security for clean up and catching criminals... I wish I could stay here with you, in your time of need..." He gives a hug, before leaving the room.

When he left, Moonlight saw the headline on the datapad, and gasps at the central image. Scanning it on the flatscreen, she zoomed in on the left corner of the image.

It brings up an image of the battle of Tyga-Pax, and when zooming in, shows an outline of a white mech, a thin line of a sword next to him.

"Wheeljack..." Moonlight gasped.

Printing off the image, she runs out the room.

Wreckers home...

Moonlight arrives and knocks on the door.

Pyro was the mech to open it. "Ultra Magnus is out at the moment, meeting with Opti..."

Moonlight holds up the printed copy of the image and points to the corner that caught her optic.

Pyro looked at the spot, and his optics widened. "Roadbuster!"

Gathering in the meeting room..

"By the allspark..." Roadbuster and the Wreckers look at the image. "What is Wheeljack doing there?! We didn't authorise this!"

"Have you got the news datapad?" Impactor asked Moonlight.

She nodded and hands it to him.

"The Battle of Tyga-Pax; unauthorised riots spread across the city, many citizens running from the scene as mechs fought, countless deaths, spread across the whole city.. Eyewitness accounts.." Impactor gasped. "Listen to this." "An eye witness accounted the battle. 'We were just walking, these mechs started to fight.. We don't know what it was about. As the great fire took hold within minutes, I wanted to protect my bondmate and our 3 sparklings, this white mech with twin swords approached us, guided us to safety; if it weren't for him, we'd be goners."

"He saved a family?" Moonlight gasped.

"That was brave of him, but the question remains," Bulkhead added. "Where is he now? Still at the scene, or MIA, or KIA?"

"Huh?" the femme sounded concerned.

"MIA, missing in action," Impactor replied. "KIA, Killed in action."

Moonlight's optics widened. "Why go there?"

"Its the nature of Wreckers, espcially Wheeljack," Pyro replied. "Missions no one would take."

"So he might be MIA," Impactor replied.

"If so... we cannot afford not to investiage the scene," Roadbuster said. "We'll scout there later today.."

"Moon?"

All heads turned towards the entrance, where a black and white mech entered, followed by a silver mech.

"Prowl? Jazz?" Moonlight stood up from her seat.

"We heard about Wheeljack," Prowl replied. "I work closely with the Autobots and very high up in the War office. I can take my leave there and find out more on Wheeljack. The office will know of any MIAs and KIAs, any information whatsoever about these fights."

"And myself."

All optics turned as Smokescreen entered the room.

"Smokescreen too?" Moonlight gasped.

"We're all here for you Moon in your time of need," Smokescreen replied, then paused. "What was it I was going to say.." gently tapping the edge of his chin, then snapped his finges. "That was it. Ultra Magnus works in the Elite Guard area I am now stationed in."

"How does this help us soldier?" Roadbuster replied.

Smokescreen rubbed the back of his helm. "Well.. I think I saw Wheeljack enter about 5-6 days ago, heading in the direction of Ultra Magnus' office. I heard some shots,... I heard arguing. It sounded horrible, and I couldn't resist overhearing.. I know what I heard was serious..."

"What is it soldier?"

Smokescreen looked up. "I heard Magnus say 'You're a true Wrecker if you don't care for others, to scrap yourself, risk your life and die not caring!' I heard Wheeljack argue valid points, saying stuff like 'I care for Moon's safety', and 'You never tolerated Wrecker behaviour, so leave the others alone.' That's when I heard some shots, one nearly hit me, but I ducked in time. Wheeljack stormed pass me not too soon afterwards, I saw Magnus clearly agitated, yelling towards the Wrecker. Before Wheeljack left, he saw me, and said 'Tell Moon I'll miss her loads, I'm gonna do what I do best,' and he left. That was the last time I saw him. Ultra Magnus came out his office, saw me, and said 'Don't speak of this', only to you guys now."

"I'll check with the war office and CCTV for any signs of Wheeljack," Prowl replied, leading Jazz out the room, both mechs rushed out.

"I'll check in on Magnus," Smokescreen left the room chasing the other two mechs.

"All we can do is wait for a reply, and a response from Prowl's findings," Roadbuster said, turning t Moonlight. "Thank you for this valuable information, we'll keep you posted."

"I want to stay here and help!" Moonlight replied.

"And you have. Your dad will be worried after you stormed out presumably to come here, go see him."

Moonlight opened her mouth to reply, but didn't, so got up and left. Bulkhead placed a supportive arm on her shoulder, she looked at him, before exiting the building and heading home.

:'(, why I wrote this, when I was sad? More soon to come.
