2 weeks after the birth
Sentinel was out like a light, as he was still recovering from giving birth two weeks ago. Bumblebee and Bulkhead quickly learned how to handle the three little seekerlings. Divebomber was always loudest when he was hungry, Starblazer was loudest when he was tired, and the only time Stargazer was loud was when the little seekerling had to be held and examined by Ratchet.
For as loud and obnoxious as they were, the little seekerlings were always well behaved for Bulkhead and Bumblebee with the aforementioned exceptions. The little seekerlings optics lit up whenever they saw Bee, Bulkhead, Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Sari, Prowl, or Jazz enter the room. The little seekerlings were especially attached not only to Bee and Bulkhead, but also Optimus and Ultra Magnus. Sentinel, unsure about the whole thing still, was careful around the little ones, but he had trouble getting them to behave as he spent so little time with them.
The little seekerlings favorite bots to play with were Sparkbreaker and Coolrider. The five little sparklings would often play together, with 1 to 2 of the older bots watching over the lot, though if it was Sentinel's turn to watch, it was always two mechs, as even though 3 of the little ones were Sentinel's, no one trusted him to be responsible enough to watch the 5 little ones alone.
Coolrider and Stargazer were the quietest and often played quietly together, with quiet little laughs escaping from time to time from the little ones. Sparkbreaker, Starblazer, and Divebomber were the noisy obnoxious sparklings, who ran around and often found themselves in quite the predicament. Prowl, Bee, Jazz, Optimus, and Bulkhead had lost track of the number of times these little adventurers had gotten into a sticky situation around the base, whether it was getting stuck in an old oil barrel or having shimmied up the tree in Prowl and Jazz's room. Often times, it was Divebomber and Starblazer who flew little Sparkbreaker into these situations, and only Bumblebee or Prowl were limber enough to get the little ones down.
The day came once again where it was Sentinel's turn to watch the little ones. Jazz watched with Sentinel, making sure that all the sparklings would be safe as all five trusted Jazz, in fact, little Divebomber loved to hand around the cyberninja. Jazz, at first, was startled when little Divebomber would cling to the cyberninja, especially when the little one was scared and Bee and Bulky were not around. Little Sparkbreaker and Divebomber just admired Jazz like he was the best in the world – well, for Divebomber, just shy of Bee and Bulky. On this day, the rest of the Autobots had been called out to deal with a reported Decepticon sighting. Only Jazz, Sentinel, and the five little Autobot sparklings remained in the base, along with Sari.
Somewhere outside the Autobot base lurked a dark intruder, biding his time. the stalker, at first wanting weapons to sell, soon saw why the base was so heavily armed as he peered in to see five little sparklings, three of which looked like seekerlings. Oh, if he could only get his hands on those little ones, he could make a fortune selling those little brats to the Decepticons, as they would probably have better weapons than anything else he could steal or build. The only thing was, having been born Autobots, the little ones already had the Autobot emblem on them, which they had someone been born with. This presence thought that that could be easily rectified, and so began plotting how to capture the little brats, not realizing that he had been spotted.
Jazz quickly went outside of the base, detecting a foreign signature, forgetting that he was leaving the little ones with Sentinel. Jazz, once outside, found nothing, but felt a small jolt as electricity hit him and knocked him temporarily offline. Sari, sensing something wrong with her key, led Coolrider and Stargazer to a safe place, one where she knew the little bots could and would stay hidden. The problem was that Sentinel had fallen asleep on the couch and Starblazer, Divebomber, and Sparkbreaker were playing loudly with each other. The bot who had gotten Jazz out of the way smiled as he saw three little sparklings unsupervised, not noticing the sleeping mech on the couch.
When Swindle finally noticed the mech on the couch, he smiled as he had heard the rumors. And so he quickly used a blindfold and also tied the sleeping bot on the couch. Sentinel unfortunately had fallen asleep on his belly, leaving his backside wide open. Swindle, licking his lips, started stroking the bot seductively. Sentinel moaned, but did not wake up. Swindle watched and listened, and soon he heard and saw what he wanted. Sentinel's aft port was opening and his cooling fans were kicking on. Fortunately, the sparklings were too busy playing to notice what was going on. Swindle silently entered Sentinel's aft with his cable. Sentinel, who already was out like a light, was completely gone.
In fact, the two bots quietly overloaded just as Sari entered the room, trying to save the three sparklings, and Sari, caught off guard by the sight, was caught even more so off guard when the bot on top of Sentinel put his cable away and took the three little sparklings – Divebomber, Starblazer, and Sparkbreaker. Sari, unable to stop the bot, looked and saw that Sentinel was tied to the couch and still offline. Sari hastily ran to find Jazz, and found him just coming back online outside. Jazz and sari looked up, hearing a deceitful laughter, and saw Swindle carrying off three little sparklings. Jazz panicked as he realized that one of the little ones was Sparkbreaker, and for the first time ever, Sparkbreaker was screaming at the top of his vocal processors. It broke Jazz's spark when he realized that right now he could not rescue the little ones, especially his little Sparkbreaker.
Swindle flew off, excited about the weapons he could now try to sell to Megatron and Starscream. Little did Swindle realize the trouble that he would be in for. Divebomber and Starblazer were yelling and screaming at the top of their vocal processors as was Sparkbreaker. Swindle did not realize that these little ones were already bonded with their Autobot creators, but He did not think that it mattered because if the Decepticons could whip Lugnut into shape, they could find a way to exploit the young ones, especially since two of the three looked like seekers.
Meanwhile, having defended the city, Prowl, Bee, and Bulkhead felt a great distress in their sparks. Then came the message from Sari.
"Bee, come in Bee…Swindle just took Divebomber, Starblazer, and Sparkbreaker …. hurry…. Sentinel is out and Jazz was knocked out outside and is just recovering" the sense of urgency and panic was evident on Sari's voice.
Prowl, Bee, and Bulkhead were off, as they wanted to try to rescue their sparklings. Optimus and Ratchet, as well as Ultra Magnus, were extremely concerned as Swindle taking them only meant one thing – he was going to try to sell them as weapons to the Decepticons. Bee and Bulkhead panicked most as their little ones were seekerlings, and that would mean much more value to the Decepticons.
Meanwhile, Swindle, happy about his catch, was trying his best to get a hold of Starscream and Megatron, while trying to keep the little brats he had with him quiet. It was not easy, as all three had quite the set of vocal processors, but he just managed to when he finally got a hold of Screamer and Megs.
Megatron, tired of dealing with Swindle as Swindle always tried to pawn off something that malfunctioned, allowed the transmission to continue for some unknown reason. Starscream was there as well as the two communicated with Swindle. It was then that Swindle showed the Decepticon leader and his sparkmate the best weapons the dirty dealer had ever laid his hands on. Into the picture popped two little seekerlings and a third sparkling that looked like a car. Megatron was intrigued, but it was Screamer who realized something was wrong. Screamer put Swindle on hold while he talked to Megatron.
"Megatron, are you sure those seekerlings are not related to us" asked Screamer
"they couldn't be. I sent Lugnut to get rid of any traces of our deed." Replied an irritated Megatron
"they have to be, the Autobots don't have seekers. Besides, why would you ever send that lugbut to do a job, he knows nothing about transformer reproduction." Starscream was pissed. He recognized the pattern on one, as it was similar to his own. Oh shit, thought screamer, those are from us.
Megatron, sensing what Starscream was feeling through their sparkbond, realized what had happened – his minion had failed. Megatron was not happy, but then he realized that he now had a chance to take what was rightfully his. Megatron sent screamer to go take the little ones while he and Swindle "discussed" terms. Screamer, delighted, took off, knowing exactly where Swindle was.
While Swindle thought he was discussing terms with Megatron, something came and swiftly took his "item" away from him. Swindle realized that he had been duped and that Megatron was just going to take what he wanted. Swindle was pissed, but there was little he could do about as 5 minutes after the seeker took the little ones, the Autobots found Swindle and offlined him. Prowl, Bee, and Jazz were angry as they realized now who really had their little sparklings – Megatron.
Oh no, now what? Prowl, Bee, and Bulkhead, as well as the others could only hope that they could reach the little sparklings before Megatron did something to them.
