Yes I know it's short again _ Sorry about that guys. I could use some help with idea's because I'm lost for the next chapter. Please read and review and idea's are welcome.
"So what you're saying is they are both from a different world?" Starscream asked in disbelief.
"Soundwave had pointed out everything we missed and it all makes sense now. Why didn't I see it before? His name, his design and him knowing other's with the same name either here or offline"
"It just doesn't seem possible"
"Anything is possible Starscream, don't question me"
"I'm not lord Megatron. Though I suppose it does explain his name"
"That's right. I want them found I want to know everything about their world"
"Why?"
Megatron looked at Starscream and grinned "Why take over one universe when you take over two"
Starscream almost chocked "T-two? Are you out of your mind?"
"No Starscream. With the other decepticon's Skywarp knows we can team up and rule our worlds together"
"What makes you think the others will join?"
"There decepticons" He grinned "They want nothing more than to rule and destroy everything"
"B-but-" Starscream sighed knowing he couldn't talk him out of this "Very well"
"You may leave Starscream"
Starscream left without a word, he growled as he was gone not believing Megatron wanted to do this, it was crazy. Yes sure even if Skywarp was from another world and there were other decepticon's with same names how he frag were they going to get there. He thought if Skywarp and Pebbles could then there was a chance but still it seemed all crazy.
What if these decepticon's were nothing like what Megatron thought? What if they were all soft as well? He just didn't think they would team up, not if Skywarp did. Every time he thought of that name is stung him that was his brother's name. His dead brother. Nothing just made sense.
Autobot base
"How did you kids become friends with the autobot's?"
"Well I found Arcee and then Raf and I were caught in the middle of a fight in the middle of autobot's and decepticon's. Oh and Miko is Miko" Jack said.
"And I'm proud of it"
"How did you and your daughter get here?" June asked.
"It was an accident with our space bridge, we ended up here and I can't get a hold of anyone or my base. So until we do I think we will stick around"
"So are the decepticon's your with like you, I mean kind and not mean and destroyers"
Skywarp had remembered what Ratchet told him. Don't say anything that will make more questions. So he tried to keep it as simple.
"There like any other decepticon. It's just when there around Pebbles they get a different side. They all care about her like I do"
"That's a surprise but I can see why" June smiled as she looked over at Pebbles who was on the ground playing with some of the toy cars, rolling them around and making funny voices pretending it was a real car.
Arcee sat next to Pebbles and watched her for a long time, Arcee was attached to her. Though Skywarp didn't mind at all, only if she treated her right then he didn't have a problem. Everything else was her problem, he hasn't done anything wrong.
"So tell me about yourself Pebbles" Arcee said.
"Well…my name is Pebbles" Arcee couldn't help but laugh at that "I'm seven thousand and two years old, I live with my daddy and other decepticons, and…..ummm….I'm not sure what else"
"Well, what do you like to do?"
"Well I love to draw"
"What do you draw?"
"I draw when something comes to my mind. My daddy also told me to draw anything I like, no matter what it is. It helps me and him show my feelings and my daddy can tell from a drawing how I feel"
Arcee smiled. She looked up at Skywarp who was chatting to the others still, he seemed fine.
"You really love your dad don't you?"
"More than anything in the world"
"Does he love you?"
"He says it everyday"
Arcee knew the two cared about each other very much, but she wanted to make sure. Even though she knew what the answer was going to be but that didn't matter. It was just great talking to her.
"Tell me about your mother?"
Pebbles stopped what she was doing and looked at Arcee.
"Well. It was me and her for my whole life. We were struggling and didn't really have a home. But then…."
Pebbles went silent, sitting there with her head hung low.
"Pebbles?" She heard Arcee speak.
She wanted a hug. She wanted someone to hold her close. Without another thought she bolted up and ran to her father. Skywarp saw this and right away picked her up when she was in hand reach. She whimpered and buried her head into him neck, feeling scared.
"Hey hey it's alright, what's wrong?" Skywarp asked.
But she didn't say anything.
Skywarp looked over at Arcee who stood there confused.
He frowned "What did you say to her?"
"I-I only asked about her mother? I didn't think-"
Optimus drove into the room then and transformed, letting everyone look at him. Optimus saw the sparkling softly crying.
"What's going on?" Optimus walked into the group to get an answer.
"Pebbles is upset because Arcee asked about her mother" Bulkhead said.
Ratchet dropped what he was doing and came over to see what was going on.
"I didn't think she would react like this" Arcee spoke "I only wanted to know who she was"
Skywarp sighed before looking at his daughter again. Lifting her up a little he wiped away the rest of her tears.
"All gone now?"
"A-all gone" Pebbles nodded.
Skywarp smiled at her before standing and looking at everyone "I'll be right back" He left to take his daughter back to their room, where he knew she would get some sleep.
Arcee sighed crossing her arms and looking at the ground "I should have known not to say anything"
"It's not your fault Arcee" Optimus came over to her "She is probably still grieving the loss of her mother. Sometimes it only takes a months, sometimes years or even never"
"I just wanted to know her a bit more" Arcee sat down on a crate sighing, feeling stupid for asking.
"Hey Arcee" Jack came forward to her "It's alright, I would have asked the same question sooner or later"
"He's right. Someone would have" Ratchet said.
It wasn't long before Skywarp came back and looked up at everyone.
"She wanted a nap so I'll leave her for a little bit"
"How long ago did her mother die?" June asked.
Skywarp thought it might be best if everyone knew, that way they will understand and how she feels.
"I have only known for two years that I was a father. Before that I had no idea. Her mother was my bond mate. We were together for quite a while before the war started"
"What's a bond mate?" Miko asked.
"Bond mate is like a husband and wife as the humans say" Ratchet explained.
"When the war started we got separated and I thought she was gone. I searched for her but I got nothing. That's when I joined the decepticons"
"You joined because you thought your bond mate was gone?" Jack asked.
"I had nothing else in my life and at that time I just didn't care if I lived or died"
"Well you survived" Bulkhead said.
"Yeah I did, and I'm glad I did. Two years ago a few decepticons found Pebbles and contacted our base. After searching through her history and finding out that her creators were that's when I saw it was my bond mate's daughter. We did a test to see if I was the father and I was. So from there forward she has been with me"
"Wait was she on her own when they found her?" Arcee asked.
Skywarp leaned on the wall, knowing this was something no one wanted to hear but they asked for it.
"For the first few weeks of having my daughter with me, she had nightmares. She would wake up screaming, crying and begging for her mother. I didn't understand why she was having these dreams. Then one night it got very bad and she told me what her nightmare was, what happened to her mother"
June came closer to Skywarp sitting up the stairs looking at him "What happened?"
"Her name was Starlight. She would do anything to help those in need and protect anyone she can. She would risk her life for anyone. Pebbles told me they were running away from some bots but when they caught them they bought them back to their hideout or something. There they took Pebbles away and put Starlight through pain by beating her up. Pebbles managed to get away and ran back to her mother, but that was when she saw something no sparkling every should"
Everyone was silent, taking in this story and fearing for the worst.
"Then?" June continued to listen.
"There she watched as her mother was killed, stabbed right in front of her optics"
The room was filled with gasps, shocked faces and disbelief.
"Why would they do that?" Optimus asked.
"I don't know" Skywarp sighed "Also there was something about Pebbles that made her scared of autobot's. I never was sure why until she told me what happened, autobot's killed her"
"You're kidding?" Miko said.
"No autobot would ever do that!" Arcee snapped.
"These autobot's were nothing. They didn't care about anyone and only cared about themselves. After she told me I put her back to sleep. Then I left and went to make sure she didn't have any more nightmares"
"What did you do?" Raf asked.
He was silent, looking away knowing the autobot's wouldn't like he answer. But Optimus seemed to guess what he did.
"You offline them?"
"Yeah"
"But why?" Arcee frowned.
"They killed my bond mate and scared my daughter. You would have done the same thing"
Arcee was about to snap at him but he was right. If this happened to her by decepticon's she would go after them for sure. She was still hunting the ones that killed her partners before.
Skywarp looked at everyone again "Pebbles was scared of autobot's and never wanted to see or be with them again. But…in time she sure it was only those autobot's that would hurt her and they could no longer. So she is much better around everyone now"
"So when Arcee asked about her mother she just got upset to think about it?" Ratchet asked.
"Yeah. It wasn't your fault Arcee she just misses her"
"Y-yeah I know"
"Let your daughter rest for a little bit for today, you may stay around if you like"
"I might do that, she will want sometime on her own"
"Very well"
Ratchet then spoke "I'll just back to work then" So he did.
"Thanks for telling us that Skywarp" Optimus started "I know it must have been not easy to speak of it"
"I had to explain and it's alright.
"Alright before I forget or everyone does their own thing I have one last question" Miko jumped down and walked up to Skywarp "Where is your base? I thought the decepticon base was invisible in the sky. Is your's on the ground?"
Before Skywarp could reply Ratchet yelled out.
"That is information you don't need to know"
"Awww"
"Come on Miko, I bet you want to do some practicing with your music"
"Oh sweet" She ran to grab her things.
"Not in this room. You may in another room" Ratchet said.
"No worries Ratchet" Bulkhead said and left with Miko right behind him.
"Jack, want to play some video games?" Raf asked.
"Sure"
It was now June and Skywarp, it looked like she wanted to get to know him more.
"You're nothing like any decepticon I've heard or seen before"
"I've been hearing that a lot" He half laughed.
"So, if you're a decepticon how come you wanted to leave them?"
"I'm part of a different group. There the only ones I trust and will always be with"
"Does your daughter like being with them?"
"She cares about them all and so do they. She misses everyone very much, also after what Arcee said she is just a bit down at the moment"
"I understand. After Jack's father died he kept waiting and sitting at the front window waiting for him to come back. He sat there for weeks and I was starting to worry"
"I know that feeling. Pebbles does the same though she pretends her mother is with her and has a talk with thin air"
June laughed at this "That's cute. But it's normal for someone so young"
"I was worries at first but I was told by our medic its normal. She is just young, they all have wild imaginations and their minds are different to ours. The best we can do is go with it and they will grow out of it"
"I was told the same thing by my family. It was crazy for the first year. But I'm a nurse so I should have expected it but like any mother I worry"
"We parents go through so much to bring the best to our young ones"
"You're not kidding there"
Arcee turned around to face Skywarp and June, having a talk. It wasn't what she expected from him. But something didn't add up. She wasn't sure but something just wasn't right at all. As she continued to watch the two laughed at something, this bought a small smile to her face.
"What are you smiling at?" Ratchet asked.
Arcee turned and gaped for a second "N-nothing"
"I saw you smile in their direction, are you starting to like the new decepticon?"
"Frag no. Why would I?"
"He's different from other decepticon's. I mean not just that he is calm and kind but because he has a daughter and use to have a bond mate. This is something that you don't ever see in a decepticon, it's amazing"
Ratchet had a point there. A decepticon with a family was very rare and by mean very rare almost impossible.
"Arcee you will have to get use to him soon. He might be around for a while because trying to find out where there ground bridge came from on my own it's very hard. Even if you have other work to do. Though I would like to get the kid and her father back before the other decepticon's tear apart everything to find them"
"I-I know but-"
"I know Arcee and I don't blame you. Just give him a chance. You've seen it all he doesn't seem to be a killing machine, in fact he's almost like an autobot"
"Ratchet he's not an autobot. He's a decepticon and like I said this could be a sick trap and him using his daughter"
"You saw what happened when you asked about her mother and the way he help her for comfort. I just don't see it like that anymore. But alright we will still keep an optic on him, just for you"
Arcee sighed "I'm sorry I snapped. It's just so much has happened"
"Indeed there has. Bumblebee could use some help, why don't you?"
"Yeah I might do that"
She then left with a sigh.
"What is Ratchet is right?" She thought to herself "He could be different"
Like I said it's short I know but I'm trying my best and I had to get this out. Please review and idea's are welcome. Thanks for reading.
