It has been 2 years now since I became the first Queen of Egypt and I got up close and personal with the 4 seekers who I watched for at the time 6 years with fascination. The day recently came when a letter arrived addressed to me, but not by name, but by title of first Queen of Egypt, it was inviting me to Cybertron to attend the 4 seekers Navigant, which according to Stardancer and Stargazer is when seekers in training become full seekers, I wonder which of the 4's initials are SS as that's what the letter was signed. I am now sitting in one of the rooms of a Cybertronian transport vessels that I am assuming is also transporting the 4 seekers Cybertron; I am wearing my finest Queen outfit and I was given the blessings of my protectors and my guardian to go alone to the Navigant.

It is now 7 Earth hours later from the time we left Earth and I hear a chime at my door and I say, "enter." An older Seeker enters the room who I had seen when I boarded this ship enters at my words and he says, "I'm sorry to bother you Akadeanna, however I wanted to tell you that we have arrived." I smile at the older Seeker named Flamestar before saying, "Thanks Flamestar; I'm ready." The older wine colored Seeker says, "the 4 are waiting on you." I nod and follow the other Seeker out of the room and into the main area of Vos where The Navigant will be held.

Flamestar says, "wait here, I will get them as they went inside." I nod and stand waiting for Flamestar to return with the 4 male seekers who have caught my interest; I wonder what their names are as I haven't even got up the courage to ask Stardancer, Stargazer or any of their team or Optimus and any of his team. 5 minutes after Flamestar left a male voice that I haven't heard in 2 years grace my ears saying, "you did come." I turn around and smile seeing the 4 seekers again and I say, "of course I came. 9 years learning about this place, 8 years fascinated with the 4 of you; how could I not come." I giggle at that.

Skyfire chuckles too at the humor behind my words, and he offers me his right servo and says, "the name's Skyfire." I smile and accept his finger and shake it as his servo is far too big for me to shake and I say, "a pleasure to meet you Skyfire." The next one, the black and purple one says, "the name's Skywarp." He offers his servo too and I shake it and says, "a pleasure to meet you as well Skywarp." The blue and white one then offers his servo and says, "name's Thundercracker, I'm Skywarp's Bondmate." I smile and shake his servo as well and say, "a pleasure to meet you as well Thundercracker." I then turn my sky blue eyes to the flashiest of the 4 seekers, curious to know what his name is and he finally offers his servo to me and says, "and my name is Starscream, I'm the leader of this Quaterne and Bondmate of Skyfire." I smile as his name is just as amazing as his coloration and shake hands with him too and I say, "a pleasure to meet you as well Starscream." I then look at the 4 and say, "and my name is Akadeanna Hawk, first Queen of Egypt, twin sister of Ensign Chakotay Hawk of the Maquis fleet, and oldest child of the human Goddess known as Bastet and the human God known as Amun."

Skyfire smiles and says, "welcome to Cybertron. have you been here before?" I shake my head no and say, "no I haven't, possibly seen part of it in my dreams, but this is the first time I've set foot here; but I've spent 9 years learning about this world and a long lifetime to learn about it, being a goddess myself it's hard to know how long I will live. Just like you guys from what I've been told." Starscream smiles at me and says, "you've got quite a deft hand at treating our kind. Who taught you?" I shrug my shoulders and say, "Sorin, the medic of Stardancer and Stargazer's team and for the past 2 years Ratchet of Optimus' team as well; Sorin started training me the same year I first saw you guys."

Starscream chuckles and says, "Stardancer said you first saw us our first day on Earth performing over the Nile. That was my idea to train there as it seemed such a beautiful place to train." I smile at Starscream's words and say, "yeah it's a beautiful place, I had just come down there to relax and watch the birds fly; you can imagine my shock seeing 4 jets; after seeing you 4 in your bipedal form I realized you must be the Seekers that Stardancer had told me about." I stop and nod at Skyfire and say, "size wise I actually thought he'd be the Quaterne leader, but when you started snapping out orders Starscream I knew you were the leader."

Starscream laughs lightly and says, "yeah most think that, because of Skyfire's size that he's the leader; he's the oldest of us and I'm the youngest, but I'm the leader." I chuckle and say, "fitting." Starscream asks, "could you possibly check me before The Navigant gets underway? I'm sparked and I'm worried that it might affect my Sparkling." I am startled at the smaller seekers words, but I smile at him and say, "sure I can check you and your Sparkling." The smaller Seeker lies down where he is and I climb up to check the small Seeker, sometimes being smaller than bots like Starscream helps even more when it is one as large as my guardian as I can reach things larger healers can't reach as my hands are so much smaller than their servos.

I gently and tenderly check the Seeker over and then the Sparkling that I have found in the male Seeker. 5 minutes later I get down off the tricolored Seeker and Starscream sits up and looks at me and he asks, "well?" I smile and say, "you are very healthy Starscream and so is your Sparkling." Starscream smiles at my words and says, "I'm glad I'm healthy and so is my Sparkling." Skyfire had watched over me checking Starscream and he says, "I'm glad our Sparkling is healthy as well." I look at the white and red Mech I had figured he was the father after all and smile at him.

Before I can comment however a group of older Seekers come closer including Flamestar, the one who had escorted me to the spot; Flamestar says, "I'm sorry to interrupt this; however it is time to get the Navigant underway." I look at the wine colored Seeker and nod yeah it was time the 4 did their Navigant. I watch as one by one the 4 Seekers are taken to the air then disappear with 2 other older Seekers to be taken to where they would start their Navigant from.

Starscream shifts nervously as he watches each of his Quaterne taken to do their Navigant and he looks at me and says, "I will be taken last; when seekers are a binary, a trine, or a Quaterne the leader is always taken last." I smile and pat Starscream's leg tenderly and say, "I can imagine you're a nervous wreck. Just don't lose your helm and focus and you will do fine." Starscream chuckles, but asks, "where did you get that advice from? That's an old Seekers advice." I laugh and say, "Stardancer gave me that advice when I was nervous before my coronation 2 years ago." It is hard for me to believe that I am on Cybertron on the 2 year anniversary of becoming first Queen of Egypt, to watch 4 seekers attend their Navigant.

Flamestar and another Seeker come over to Starscream and Flamestar says, "I'm sorry Starscream, but it is time." Starscream casts one more glance at me before he nods and walks away with the other 2 seekers for his time to start The Navigant. As the 2 seekers take Starscream's arms I holler, "good luck Starscream! I will be here when you get back!" Starscream gives me a soft smile before he is taken into the air. I watch the tricolored Seeker and the other 2 until they disappear and I sigh; I was told this would be the longest part of The Navigant waiting for the Seekers to return.

4 hour time jump

I have only moved to pace as I wait for any of Starscream's Quaterne to return ending their part of the Navigant and I smile as I finally feel one and I stop and look towards the sky and I smile as a blue and white Seeker comes into the line of my sight; it is Thundercracker the first to return of the 4. I watch as he gracefully touches down and I run to him smiling and say, "welcome back Thundercracker! You're the first to return." Thundercracker can't help it and gives me a tired smile back and he says, "thanks Akadeanna. I'm glad to be back." I step back a bit as Flamestar approaches Thundercracker handing him a cube of energon knowing the Seeker wouldn't leave until the other 3 of the Quaterne had returned, he had watched the loyalties of the groups and he knew that's how they were.

2 hour time jump

It is now a good 2 hours after Thundercracker returned that the next one of the Quaterne returns, this time it is Skywarp and I greet him the same way that I had to Thundercracker and is given a cube of energon as well; and the 3 of us wait for the last 2 members of Quaterne to arrive back. Skywarp sighs and says looking at me, "I know Skyfire will return, but I'm worried about Starscream, he may seem confident to you Akadeanna, but he's not always that confident, he's the more reserved one of our Quaterne, and he's the insecure one." I am shocked at Skywarp's admission about Starscream and I say, "I bet he will do just fine Skywarp; he seems like he's got a good helm on his shoulders and a good CPU in his helm and a strong spark that will lead him home." Skywarp sighs and says, "I wish I could share your enthusiasm Akadeanna."

3 hour time jump

Much to Skywarp and Thundercracker's amazement I had been right as 3 hours after Skywarp returned Starscream was landing. I smile as I was right that the smaller Seeker would return fine, but I don't rub it in by saying told you so. I walk over to him and smile at him and say, "I'm glad you made it back safe and sound Starscream." Starscream smiles down at me as he accepts the cube of energon shoved into his servos by Flamestar and he says, "thanks Akadeanna. What about Skyfire?" I shake my head and say, "not back yet. Thundercracker returned first, then Skywarp, and now you." Starscream winces as his Bondmate hasn't returned yet as Skyfire had been the first one taken out. I pat Starscream's leg and say, "things will be fine Starscream." Starscream wishes he could share my reassurance about his Bondmate, as he watches the skies for any signs of the largest member of his Quaterne.

1 hour time jump

It is just an hour after Starscream had landed when he gasps loudly, the 3 other Seekers are sitting down and I'm sitting on Starscream's lap watching the skies, but then my head turns sharply to the small Seeker and I ask, "what's wrong?" Starscream can't speak, but his emotions are projecting loudly making me wince as I had never felt such powerful emotions; I feel pain, heat, and fear. My sky blue eyes dart back to the skies trying to figure out what is causing the small Seeker to feel those emotions, part of me wondering if it is Skyfire that I am actually feeling as Starscream feels it through their bond, then something catches my sky blue eyes; a white-orange smudge in the sky coming fast; far too fast.

A voice somewhere behind me shouts, "he needs to pull up!" then another, this one a female says, "no comm. Navigant candidate." I wince at the word spoken; I have a feeling deep in my heart that it has to be Skyfire by the emotions I'm feeling from Starscream. The last thing I hear before the smudge explodes, Akadeanna, tell him I love him! Help him with our Sparkling! I wince as I assumed right and I move and wrap my arms tenderly the best I can around Starscream as there is a huge explosion. At the same instant Starscream shrieks loudly and then slumps back. I wince as I remember about how powerful of a bond spark-bonding is; realizing Starscream felt every second of that.

I am startled when along with Starscream I am lifted into the arms of Flamestar and carried into the building, I shift to Starscream's Chestplates as we are moved; I watch the small Seeker and brush my mind against his, he is there, but not fully, which means the death of his Bondmate hadn't killed him too. I shift again as Flamestar lays Starscream down on one of the medical berths. I look up at the next Seeker that joins us, he is as white as snow and he starts to check over Starscream's frame. I look at him and say, "he's alive, but barely."

The white Seeker looks up at my words, only now having noticed me on Starscream's Chestplates. He asks, "and how would you know that miss?" I shrug my shoulders and say, "first of all the name is Akadeanna; as to how I know I can feel his mind, I'm what's called a telepath. He's not fully here, but I can still feel him." The white Seeker is shocked, so I am the Egyptian Queen he heard was here to watch The Navigant. He winces and says, "I've only seen something like this when one partner in a spark-bonding is killed, but they know there is rules against spark-bonding before The Navigant." I wince at his words and say, "they were spark-bonded, Starscream and Skyfire; Starscream himself told me."

The white Seeker winces at my words and he knows that it is possible that 2 Seekers would now be lost this day as many times the spark of the surviving partner won't survive without it's other half and he says, "I need to warn you Akadeanna- " he stops as I raise my hand to silence him and say, "I am aware that it is very likely that Starscream will die having lost the other half of his spark, but I can tell you this Starscream's spark is strong, I believe he will survive, but he won't be the same Seeker that he was before The Navigant, he will need Skywarp and Thundercracker to help him through this," I pause and look away from the white Seeker to the Faceplates of the tricolored Seeker who I am on the Chestplates of before saying, "and me if he will let me."

I spent 1 month on Cybertron with Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker to help support the now trine over the loss of the 4th member of their group.
