Luna watched as Jazz and the two jets explained
"Me an' moonbeam had gone to check out a situation a lil south of here, an' we ran into a con" jazz said giving moonbeam a glance " an Moonbeam had gotten hurt, when I thought the con was down I turn an I see this lil debba tryin' ta repair beams, an' I had gone over, but then the lil kits servo began to glow an I realized she was tryin' ta help her, so she told meh ta flip beams onto her back an I did so, an her lil accessory there was putting on a lil light show and next thing I know moonbeam is all repaired as if she just came outta the med bay! Then I hear the girl scream an' I turn ta see the con I had brought down holdin' her and he just takes off, so I call the jets." He then looked at the two aerial bots, Jetstorm spoke first.
"When we first get Mr. jazz's call we fly right over and see big badness bot holding little organic over green organic plants"
"So I hit badness bot with fire power" Jetfire said imitating his baseball pitch, "and he drop little organic, and while brother go after organic I scare off badness bot with fire" he finished, looking proud.
Luna watched as the jets explained and looked to see the rest of the team watching except sari, who was examining Luna with interest.
Luna became slightly nervous and began to shift from foot to foot under sari's inquisitive gaze
"So...how did you get involved?"
"..i-i was just walking around with my toys, looking for a building to play in, when w-i noticed one of the buildings, so I go in, the next thing I know were running for our lives being chased by a mean robot, so we ran and managed to escape, then there were these explosions when these police-bot's tried to stop him, and then as we were hiding behind this rubble Moonbeam and Jazz appeared, Jazz fought the other bot and Moonbeam came and tried to take us away, but that flying bot shot at her and she ended up crashing, but she protected us, then I had to run because the mean bot was attacking, after I found shelter in a alleyway I hear a shot, so I look and I see he had shot Moonbeam, so when Jazz had the bot distracted I had..."Luna was silent for a moment
"...what happened?" sari asked
"...the...the shard began to glow and I got a..a funny feeling, so I ran up and tried to help her" at this Luna frowned, trying to remember, " the next thing I knew Jazz had her on her back and I was putting a KEY in a slot, and she began to glow, then I backed off and then I was in the air, grabbed by the bot-"
"wait, wait, wait, who was the bot?" bumblebee asked
Jazz sighed "it was Starscream-"
Everybot in the room looked in shock at Jazz then at Luna
Luna looked at her feet then continued "y-yeah, when Starscream grabbed me I got scared, and he kept trying to get the shard from me, then the twins came and saved me, and they brought me to Jazz, I got my toys back and we came here." she finished.
Sari looked thoughtful then smiled "well, now that we know what happened, how did you get the All-spark shard?"
Luna frowned "a-all spark? whats that?"
"its the life source of all Cybertronian's" bumblebee explained "its like, the ultimate power source"
Luna blinked and pulled the shard necklace from her pocket and looked at it "i-i found it in a tree when I was walking in the woods...i don't deserve it" Luna then walks up to sari and holds it out to her.
Sari refused " it chose you, so you can keep it" she said smiling
Luna blinks then makes a small nod as she backs back to her spot "thank you.."
sari looked down and saw Luna's toys "so, who are these?" she climbs down from the couch and walks up to the cat
the cat growls lightly making sari back up
"That's lynx, shes a bit grouchy" Luna giggled as lynx moved closer to Luna in a protective manner "shes very protective of me"
"oh.." sari said, then looked at the small red truck making figure eights "whats that?" pick it up only to be surprised when it actually shook, vibrating until she put it back down, then it continued zipping in figure eights.
"that's Splitz, he doesn't like being picked up by strangers" she giggled
"oh, well now that I've met you, and know your toys, we need to know more about you...where do you come from?"
"I'm from Detroit, I live alone..." Luna bit her lip as if she said something sensitive
sari noticed and looked concerned "don't you have parents? Family?" she asked worriedly.
Luna shook her head sadly and picked up her toys "th-...their all I have"
sari then made a sound of affection and hugged Luna "you can be part of OUR family! Granted its...odd, but you'll fit right in" she said enthusiastically.
Lynx hissed but Luna made a small smile "i-i dont know what to say.." she whispered
sari only smiled " just say 'yes'" she said kindly
Luna smiled "y-yes" she said happily
sari squealed happily and hugged Luna despite the hisses and irritated growls from the Lynx "he he, I always wanted a sister, but first you have to meet the rest of the team" she said excitedly
Luna made a small gulp and looked at the jet twins, who were grinning from from audio to audio
"we is being so glad you is being part of family!" Jetfire said.
"maybe she is being our sister too?" Jetstorm said smiling down on Luna, who was smiling a small smile.
Bumblebee grinned "sweet! Now how well are you at playing games?"
Sari face palmed as Luna looked at him blankly "games?" she asked and looked towards Sari.
Sari sighed "bee is a BIG gamer, he always looks for a new 'challenge'"
"and I never fail a challenge" he said cheekily
Luna smiled and made a mental note to NEVER play against him.
"common, lets go meet the rest o' the team" jazz said, smiling
Luna bit her lip as they walked down the halls, thoughts swirled in her head as she clutched lynx and Splitz closer to her, a small fear wove through out her, and fear of rejection gripped her as they entered a large room, it had these tall flat platforms, the room was lined with large machines and tools bigger than she, and tools almost as small as her, she looked around till she spotted a red bot with a broken chevron looking at a data pad, when they entered he looked up and spotted her, then he put the data pad down and came over. Luna trembled as he approached, he looked gruff and like he didn't like anybody or anything. As he approached Luna he squinted and looked closely at her, all the while Luna was shaking fearfully.
"...who is this?" he asked, he even sounds gruff Luna thought
"this is Luna, doc bot" jazz said, grinning at the old bot
the old bot inspected her like a doctor would his patient "...why are you here?" he asked, his gruff manner and vocals made Luna shiver and lynx made a small hiss in his direction, at the hiss Luna backed away until she was behind jazz's ped.
Jazz laughed and stepped aside, exposing Luna to the gruff bot "he wont do any harm lil debba," jazz said with amusement in his voice, " hes just a grump, ain't cha doc bot?"
the other robot made a small grunt in annoyance "I'm not a grump" he muttered, but Luna spotted a small smile as he turned and moved back to his work.
Sari rolled her eyes and stepped up next to Luna "that's Ratchet, the team's medical officer, like jazz said hes grumpy, but hes harmless, he only throws wrenches at the bots, not us organics." she giggled at the last part.
Luna stared at her in shock "h-he throws wrenches at his patients?" she looked at Ratchet fearfully just before bumblebee burst into laughter.
"he only throws them when you act up, or if hes in a bad mood, which is practically always-" at that bumblebee ducked a flying wrench as ratchet hurled one at him.
"beat it if your just gonna talk smack about me!" he growled, picking up another one of his tools.
Luna couldn't hold it in and she made a light laugh as bumblebee and ratchet made a stare off, bumblebee making mocking faces and ratchet glaring daggers at him.
Ratchet looked at Luna and sighed "okay, now, why is that organic here?"
"shes a new member of the family" sari said happily.
"family? What happened?" ratchet asked eying Luna curiously.
Luna made a small blush and held the growling lynx closer to herself as jazz and the jet twins explained all over again, then Luna explained, after the explanation was made ratchet looked at her curiously
"wait, STARSCREAM? That piece of slag who was supposed to be offline? How in Cybertron did he come back?"
Luna shrugged but a small memory made her throat run dry "g-guess he was just hiding" her voice sounded frail for a second, but she managed to pull it off, even though ratchet gave her an inquisitive look but he was interrupted when a deep rumbling sound filled the halls.
"Arcee must have called Omega back" he grumbled and left in a hurry.
Luna looked at jazz curiously "O-omega?"
"Omega Supreme, come on lil debba, time ta meet two other members of the gang" he said smiling and he turned and left with sari and Luna followed.
Outside the base the team watched as a large orange and red ship flew down, and as it landed it transformed into a enormous robot with cannons and prongs for arms. Both Luna and Moonbeam froze at the sight of Omega Supreme, Luna's jaw dropped and Moonbeam managed to look surprised.
"Th-that's Omega Supreme?" Luna gasped staring at the mammoth machine.
"yeah" ratchet grunted "he was the Autobot's secret weapon back in the first war, he was in offline for a while but thanks to a few fragments of the All-spark hes back."
Luna watched as a pink femme came out of a opening on Omega Supreme's ped and approach Ratchet.
"hello Ratchet" the femme said, smiling at him, Luna swore she saw him turn a light shade of pink, " Omega is back with a report on a con sighting south of our current position."
"good work Arcee, and good work Omega." he said looking up at the ship sized transformer.
Luna made a small giggle, attracting the attention of the pink femme called Arcee.
"why hello there, what might your designation be?" Arcee said sweetly.
Luna blushed but smiled "I'm Luna, I just got here." she blushed at how ridiculous her answer sounded to her.
Arcee only smiled at her "Luna, a very sweet designation, may I know how you came to our base?"
once again Jazz and the twins explained, and Luna said her part, once they were explained Arcee shook her helm in surprise "Starscream? Here? And Online? Its confusing, I wonder how he survived." she sighed.
Yet again that small twinge in her throat attacked, Luna gulped quietly and smiled as everybot but Ratchet, Arcee and Omega Supreme went back inside. Once inside bumblebee came up and nudged Luna with a digit.
"wanna meet Bulkhead?" he asked.
Luna was nervous at first, but when jazz nodded she said yes. Bumblebee took her down more halls and she looked around, the place felt like a labyrinth, but they finally reached their destination, it was a room with a touch pad lock, and bumblebee banged on it with a fist.
"hey bulk! Ya in there? We got a new visitor!" he shouted
"hold on lil buddy! Ill be out in a klik!"
Luna listened as something large moved behind the door and then as the door opened, and she looked with fascination at the large round bot, it was military green with 3 prongs on each servo rather than digits. He looked like a big metal teddy bear to her, especially when he grabbed bumblebee into a big hug.
"hey lil buddy! Who's this?" he said, bending over and inspecting Luna.
Luna giggled "I'm Luna, I'm new." she said happily.
At that he scratched his helm with a prong curiously "new? New to what?"
the whole explanation process was repeated, first jazz, then the twins, who were hovering behind jazz, and then Luna, all the while bulkhead listened silently.
"...wait, Starscream is back? Wasn't he supposed to be, you know? Offline or something?"
Luna bit her lip at that but stayed silent.
"well now that ya met the whole team, what cha think Luna?" jazz asked, smiling at her kindly.
Luna was silent for a moment before smiling "i think you all are great, I could not have wished for a better family" she smiled a little brighter at the happy expressions around her.
"So..." bumblebee said, "wanna play a game?"
