DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS OR THEIR BRANDINGS THE WHOLE SPARKLING IDEA WAS FROM VARIOUS PEOPLES AND I MAKE THIS IN THEORY WITH THEM. BUT THE WHOLE SEEKER NESTING THING IS MINE. OH AND I DO NOT OWN THE SPARKLINGS.

A/n: In this story Starscream is a femme and seekers in my opinions are more like birds in regards to their behavior and courtship rituals. In this story the ritual is like a pair of bald eagles that fly on the wing when it comes to courtship and mating. So here you go oh and seekers are like falcons when it comes to defending the nest.

Summary: there were rumors of a seeker hanging around the Hawaiian island chain. So when the Autobots went to investigate the sighting it was not as they seem.

A NEST OF SEEKERS

Information is Power

At this time Barricade was more then happy when Starscream left the nest again to gather food for herself. Having Frenzy be smaller then him the smaller transformer climbed up into the nest and began his investigation. Taking pictures and sending them to Soundwave was going to be difficult due to the nature of the mountain itself.

Climbing up to the roof Frenzy took pictures of the nest and the eggs in general and taking samples as well of their alloys.

"Starscream are you home?" a voice called and Frenzy quickly hid in the stalagmites and watched as a little human youngling came into the nest.

"Starscream?" he asked again and noticed the nest was empty.

"I guess she went hunting again," said the boy as he looked around and noticed that the seeker was no where to be seen.

He then approached the eggs and gently rubbed his hand against the largest one.

"Wow you are getting harder in your metal shell I can tell. I bet you will hatch soon and I get to see what you look like," said the boy as he rubbed his hands together at the chilly air of the cave.

Getting his books out he began to read the latest chapter to his book.

Frenzy high above watched the boy as he did his schoolwork. Slowly but quietly for someone of his make he made his way outside and into the daylight sky. As he turned around to look behind him he spotted the boy talking to the eggs as he hurried down the hill and away from Starscream's nest.

Unlike the boy who could not see Frenzy, Starscream certainly can if she returns to find him there. He knows that the seeker would kill him if she found him.

As he ran off into the cloud covered rain forest of the mountains back down towards the road that Barricade was waiting. Frenzy made sure that he was not followed before he plopped into the shot gun seat.

"Did you get it?" Barricade asked

"Yes, but I had to get out of there quick since a stupid insect walked right in." Frenzy said to him as Barricade pulled out and down the road.

"Barricade to Soundwave,"

Do you have the information to report? Was the harsh reply

"Yes my Lord I have acquired the information for you from our surveillance of Starscream's nest," Barricade replied as he sent the information to Soundwave.

Excellent remain there until further notice to keep an eye on the seeker. I will make preparations and when the time comes you will take the chicks and kill the mother is that understood? Soundwave's orders were simple.

"Completely my lord," Barricade said and the transmission was cut.

"I don't really feel like kidnapping do you?" Barricade said to Frenzy.

"I don't like it either," was the reply

"If there is one thing I don't want to repeat again it is to anger a mother seeker," Barricade replied shuttering.

"You and me both," Frenzy said as he looked out the window.

"If you ignore the constant dangers to ones tires this place is rather nice," he said

"I know," Barricade said as he parked near a moss bed and relaxed his tires on the cool moss.

"So what are we going to do now?" he said just as a familiar jet flew overhead with something in its talons.

"We wait and hopefully deal with the situation should the need arise."

----MEANWHILE----

"Starscream you're back!" Kaeo said as he watched the seeker land with an oil truck in her talons.

When she landed she drank the fuel out of the truck careful not to spill a drop into the nest and ate the metal that the truck is made out of. The driver has long since been thrown out. As Kaeo watched her consume the truck tearing it out like a bird of prey he was fascinated by how clean she kept herself while she ate.

When she was done she sat back down on the eggs once again.

"How was your day at home Kaeo," Starscream asked the human child.

"It was good I got to play with the horses today since old Smokey has a broken leg," Kaeo said as he climbed up the metal junk and sat down on his favorite moss spot about even with the seeker.

"So why are you working on homework?" Starscream asked

"Because it has to be done before summer is over," he said holding out the book for her to read.

Starscream magnified her vision so she could see the title and nodded in acknowledgement.

"I understand youngling and might I say that is an interesting story," Starscream replied.

"You read it already?" he said

"I have to pass the time but I will not tell you the plot," she said and heard a moan in reply.

Smiling Starscream patted the boy's head with a finger and gotten a groan in response.

"Kaeo are you in here?" a new voice asked

"I am here mom!" said Kaeo as Michelle entered the cave.

"Oh good I thought I would have to grab a search party," Michelle replied as she entered the cave.

"Hello Starscream," she said as she carried something in her hands for the youngling.

It was obviously food for him.

"Oh cool!" he said smelling it for the first time and digging in when she handed him his plate.

Starscream smiled at the boy's antics and it in turn was caught on by his mother.

"Yes he was quite hungry and when I came home to find him not there this was the first place to look," she said

"I see I just returned myself," she said as Michelle examined the eggs.

"They should be ready soon to hatch," she said

"I'd give it another two to three days before they are ready 'Screamer," she said to the Seeker.

With this thought Starscream puffed out her metal plates like a proud bird. Such a notion was caught by both mother and son as they laughed at the sight.

"Someone is a happy mama," said Kaeo

"I would not doubt it after all you went through all that trouble to have them," his mother replied.

"Indeed," Starscream replied before a yawn broke out of her face plates.

"Well we will leave you be since you obviously need your rest," she said gathering up her son and his things.

"We will be off then to let you rest," she said as both humans left.

As soon as they left Starscream noticed the tracks the led out of the nest and new in an instant that someone of her own kind was here.

Two in fact

The first most obvious tracks belonged to that of Frenzy. He must have left in a hurry not to cover his tracks since they appeared on the floor. The other she had to take a careful look before she realized that it was none other then the Autobot scout.

So they found me she thought

The Autobots she was not worried about after all they would only observe and maybe see to the sparklings health if the medic was here.

It was the presence of Barricade and Frenzy that had her worried.

If both scouts are here then that means Soundwave knows about the nest already. She knew she has to keep a more trained eye on her nest from now on.
