~One year later, N.E.S.T Base~
"Are they gonna be ok Jolt?"
I asked one of my big brothers I sat on his shoulder as we watched the Autobot sized monitors that Jolt and whoever was on duty used to watch for Decepticons. Jolt, Ratchet, Mr. Prowl, Jazz and I were left back at Diego Garcia while Uncle Optimus, Daddy, Momma, Aunt Elita, 'Cee (Arcee), Mr. Sideswipe (I had taken to calling him and Mr. Prowl that), Mudflap, Skidz, Uncle Will, Uncle Epps, Burke, Graham, and Jacobs all went to Shanghai, China following a thermal ripple from a Decepticon.
"Don't worry 'lill warrior they can take care of themselves,"
I nodded but I still wasn't convinced I had a really bad feeling about this mission, my little seven year old mind going into over drive as I worked through possible things that could go wrong and none of them were good. I wanted to so bad reach out to the bonds to the ones who were gone ,but we struck a deal that when they were out on a mission none of us would contact each other through the bond till they were done.
"'Lill warrior they will come back,"
"I know Jolt but I have a bad feeling,"
A barely suppressed whimper built up in my throat Jolt took me from his shoulder and held me close to his spark and starting what I guessed was a Cybertronian version of a lullaby, and it worked to because I soon found myself drifting to sleep.
~Dream~
I was in a desert a soft breeze blew stirring up some of the sand I was alone which was really freaking me out because nothing ever good came from being alone.
'Where am I?'
'In Limbo child All-spark'
Appearing in front of me were six giant ancient looking robots five were defiantly mechs and the last was a Femme.
'She's so small and so young,'
'But she is the one the All-spark and Primus chose'
'She doesn't look like much to me,'
'She's can't be the chosen she's not even our kind!'
'She is the one,'
'Do not judge he by her looks Brothers and Sister she is the one.'
I Started wide eyed up at the bots in front me the tallest knelt down and offered me a servo, I climbed onto it and he lifted me up optic level with all of them.
'Child are you ready to face your destiny?'
~End~
I bolted up right my breathing ragged once I calmed down I took in my surroundings and found myself surrounded by warm metal on all sides and underneath me.
~Grandspark you are awake~
~Grandpa?~
~Yes, Jolt gave you to me when you fell into recharge. It is good you woke up now everyone just got home.~
A huge smile split my face Grandpa reached into his spark chamber and lifted me out and sat me on the ground before he transformed, I barely noticed that all my family were in there alt mode when I spotted Daddy with Momma right behind him rolling off the C-17. I dodged the soldiers and ran to my Daddy I was quickly scoped up into strong arms and held close to that person's chest.
"Daddy!"
A chuckled rumbled through his chest I looked up to meet his eyes the bright blue that shined with warmth. I spotted Momma's holoform over Daddy's shoulder and reached for her she took me and held me just as tightly as Daddy did to her chest, Momma and Daddy took me to where all the others were gathered in their holoforms next to their alt mode I also caught a glance of Uncle Will leading some weird looking balding man around.
"Momma who's that? The man Uncle Will's showing around?"
All my family except Uncle Optimus who was parked under the JCS link up but including Mr. Sideswipe and Mr. Prowl, they turned and looked at who I was talking about all of them tensed up and glared at the man.
"That's Galloway he's the new liaison,"
Grunted Grandpa I got the feeling no one liked him even the soldiers didn't like him, Momma sat me on her alt mode I smiled and pretended to drive her.
~Ironhide's POV.~
I stood in my holoform watching my little sparkling as she pretended to "drive" Chrome I shared a concerned look with the other bots, surprisingly even 'Sides and Prowl. We were concerned because that weasel of a man who was our new liaison told Will when he first got here that if we didn't find my sparkling's real family or get her adopted to one it wouldn't matter if she absorbed he All-sparks energy he would have her removed from base and our lives never to see her again.
~Goldheart POV.~
I saw the bots exchange looks but didn't pay much attention to them the majority of my attention, thanks to my new spark, on the conversation that Uncle Optimus was having with Galloway and it wasn't going very good.
"If we ask you to leave, will you go peacefully?"
"If that is you wish we will, but before we go ask your President this. What if we go and you were wrong?"
Uncle Will added something else but I didn't pay any mind I was too busy focusing all of it on Galloway.
"One more thing Autobot, what of this human child you have on base? Why is she here? Did you take her from her human family?"
Everyone on base turned and starred at Galloway as if he had lost his mind, the bot's holoforms around me moved closer surrounding me.
"Mr. Galloway I can assure you that we did not kidnap that child, she is cared for on this base by everyone. She is here because she has adopted us as her family and us her both Autobot and human so I suggest you watch yourself when it comes to her."
Uncle Optimus voice echoed around the hanger I saw Galloway straiten and but a brave face on.
"She is a human and there for under our derestriction ether find her human family or find her a new one or the government will do it for you. You have 3 months."
When he finished he walked off the catwalk and out of the hanger, silence followed his deceleration. Reality hit me I had caused this all of this I was a burden on my family, I froze on Momma's alt mode I made a split second decision I hopped off Momma's alt mode and ran I ran from the hanger planning on somehow getting off the Island and away from my family to spare them from me being a burden any longer. I heard them calling after me but I didn't look back instead I found the most abandoned part of the base and found myself a small hiding spot and that is where I stayed.
~Three hours later.~
I heard them looking for me and the bots tried to reach me through our bond but I wouldn't let them in.
"You know it's not right to hide from your family like this their incredibly worried, sparkling."
I jumped at the sound of Mr. Sideswipe's voice and was surprised to find myself lifted out of my hiding spot in the servos of Mr. Sideswipe. I whimpered and struggled in his grip trying to get out of it.
"Please let me go, don't hurt me, I didn't mean to bother you!"
With all my struggling I didn't notice the confused look that passed over his face.
"What do you mean sparkling?"
I stopped my struggle and looked up at him seeing the honest confusion on his face; I swallowed and took a deep breath.
"You're not going to hurt me?"
"No why would I hurt a sparkling even if you're a fleshing,"
"Mean man,"
I said simply I raised up my hand in an offer.
"Can I show you?"
Mr. Sideswipe nodded I placed both my hands on his spark I willed the power to come forth and sent the memory's to Mr. Sideswipe. I watched Mr. Sideswipes face as he went through the memories his expression changed from Surprise, shock, disgust, and anger; when he was done he looked at me with a mix of all those emotions on his face.
"He really did that to you?"
I nodded mutely Mr. Sideswipe was quiet for a few minutes before he looked back at me.
"Sparkling did Ironhide or Chromia tell you mine and my brother's history?"
"No,"
He nodded and sat down on the floor leaning back against the wall sitting me on his chest.
"Before the war started Cybertron was a peaceful plant for, when me and my brother Sunstreaker were sparklings like you our creators abandoned us on the streets. We became thieves to keep ourselves alive and taught ourselves how to defended ourselves, when we became younglings your human consideration of teenagers, Ironhide and Chromia found us surrounded by guards about to be punished for stealing some of their energon. They saved us that day and took us in and brought us up as their own."
I listened intently to Mr. Sideswipe's story I realized two things 1. He had been an orphan like me and took in by Ironhide and Chromia, and 2. When he mentioned his brother it pained him somehow. I laid down on Mr. Sideswipe's spark and heard the pain of loneliness coursing through it I sat back up and looked him in the optics.
"Mr. Sideswipe wo- would you like to b-be part of my family?"
He looked down at me surprised.
"To help with the loneliness,"
Mr. Sideswipe nodded I placed my hands over his spark again and sent a power pulse through it connecting his spark to mine; my spark identified him as my brother.
"Now you're part of my family, my spark-brother"
I said sleepily laying back down snuggling into the warmth of his armor before I drifted off I felt Sideswipe cover me with his servo.
~Sideswipe POV.~
I now understood why everyone cared for her like they did and I also under stood why she had reacted the way she did to me and Prowl. Goldheart had fallen asleep on my chest I placed my servo over her and stood up and eased my way back to the Autobot hanger where all the others had gathered (Except Ironhide and Chromia they were blowing off some steam) including the humans she considered family to.
"Sideswipe did you find her?"
"Yes Optimus I did,"
I handed Goldheart over to Optimus who placed her in his Sparkling-hold; he looked me over before giving me a calculating look.
"She won you over didn't she?"
"Yes Optimus she did,"
Optimus nodded understanding only seconds before Bumblebee drove into the hanger.
~Goldheart POV. One day later~
Waking up in a warm dry place made it hard to get up but being bounced around sure is hard to sleep through.
~Hello?~
~Goldheart, sparkling you are safe, just stay calm and quiet.~
~Ok Uncle Optimus.~
Uncle Optimus transformed with me in his sparkling hold I could tell Uncle Optimus was in some kind of trouble, I wanted to know why but I did as Uncle Optimus and stayed silent.
Young one your about to put to use the spark we granted you
What do you mean?
Suddenly a sword pushed its way just inches above my head straight through Uncle Optimus's spark.
NOW! Young one pull his spark into yours!
Grabbing the bond between us I pulled with all my strength Uncle Optimus's spark appeared in the chamber, I grabbed it with my hands and brought it close to my spark and the weirdest thing happened. My skin above where my spark was opened up, like my bot's chest plates does and my spark rose out of my chest and sucked Uncle Optimus's spark into my spark chamber with my spark. I was going to call out to Uncle Optimus when his chest plates were forced open and a clawed hand reached in and grabbed my out of his spark chamber, I screamed and thrashed around trying to get away.
"Well, well, well look what we have here Starscream, a human sparkling with a spark."
"How interesting my lord but really must leave the Autobots are on their way."
The Decepticon my Daddy said was called Megatron nodded and transformed around me; I screamed and kicked trying to do anything to get away from Megatron but he only wrapped the seatbelt around me locking to the seat.
"That's enough sparkling you don't want to hurt yourself."
"You- you're not gonna hurt me?"
A chuckle ran through Megatron.
"Even Decepticons will not hurt sparklings, little one. Now what is your designation? And why where you in Prime's sparkling hold?"
~Do not tell him sweet-spark, keep it to yourself.~
~Uncle Optimus! You . . . It worked!"
Uncle Optimus chuckled.
~Yes sweet-spark it did, and know I am with you.~
Megatron tightened the seatbelt around me bringing me back to the present.
"Sparkling I asked you something and I expect an answer."
"Sorry Mr. Megatron, my designation is Goldheart."
"And the second question?"
I stayed silent doing as Uncle Optimus said and not telling Megatron. It didn't seem if he wanted that answer because I was suddenly thrown into Megatron's sparkling chamber as he transformed. Several blue lights appeared one connecting to Megatron, the others going elsewhere.
~Uncle Optimus?~
Young one the lights we are showing you are to the Decepticons that can be saved, brought back to the right side.
What do you mean? Megatron wouldn't accept when Uncle Optimus offers peace.
That young one is because you have not spent time with him and worked away the darkness the Fallen has put in him.
So this was meant to happen?
Yes young one while you are with them there are Four Decepticons you must change. With these five Decepticons caring for you, you can finally end this war,
I understand.
The All-sparks presents left me I could feel Uncle Optimus's confusion I guess he heard my half conversation. The sparkling chamber opened and Megatron reached a clawed servo in and took me out, he held me in his servo where I could be seen by the two mechs with him.
~Barricade and Starscream.~
Growled Uncle Optimus the blue lights from before returned and this time two more connected to Barricade and Starscream.
"Lord Megatron why do you have a human sparkling?"
"Because Barricade she was in Prime's sparkling chamber, she must be of some importance to the Autobots."
I gulped. Megatron and Starscream were silver but Barricade he was . . . he was black and white, police. Megatron dumped me into Barricade's servo.
"Barricade you and Ravage will take the first watch of the Sparkling, we will switch later."
With that Megatron left, leaving me with Barricade and Ravage who I have yet to see. Barricade looked down at me in disgust I curled as far back as I could from him while still in his hand trying to force back the panic that was settling down fast.
~Sweet-spark I am here you need not to fear.~
Uncle Optimus surrounded my spark with his lending me the comfort and strength my spark needed, I remembered Grandpa saying that Sparkling's sparks weren't as strong as grownup's sparks so when the Sparkling's get hurt or to emotional they need a grownup's spark to help it from going out. Barricade put me on the floor where I crawled as far away as I could then I curled back up into a ball. I heard metal feet coming toward me I cringed and tried to hide away from whoever it was.
Why it's just a sparkling, such a tiny little thing.
It was a metallic voice like the other bots but a different language, I peeked between my arms and saw a catlike bot with one optic in the middle of its head and sharp-pointed metal sticking up in different places, and a blue light came back connecting to the catlike bot.
~Ravage~
Uncle Optimus growled.
"Who-who are you?"
I asked softly, the cat Ravage, sat down on its back legs studying me.
I am the Symbiont Ravage, who are you? How have you come captive to Megatron?
"I'm Goldheart sparkling of Ironhide and Chromia; Megatron took me when he killed my Uncle Optimus."
My eyes widened in shock I could feel Uncle Optimus's shock as well even Ravage seemed shocked I could speak his language, Barricade who had watched us sputtered and nearly fell over.
How?
Ravage stood up and walk closer to me and wrapped himself around me hiding his sharp points, feeling the warmth coming off him I leaned into him remembering the warmth of Mommy and Daddy.
Only a Symbiont's creator can understand a Symbiont, you are special sparkling,
Ravage nuzzled me purring I giggled and the feeling it created.
As such I adopt you as my own little Spark-kit.
I felt another's spark reach out for mine Uncle Optimus unwrapped his spark from mine slightly, I let my spark connect with his and felt a flood of different emotions than those that came from my bots, I found them comforting being away from Daddy and Momma. Barricade walked his way over to us and bent down.
"I'll be slagged, a human sparkling able to do that."
Barricade leaned closer I tried to hide myself from him Ravage felt my fear and growled warning Barricade, he backed off and transformed. Barricade's alt mode's door opened out came a man as tall as Mr. Prowl and looked like him to with the dark slightly curled hair, sharp features, a tan but the only difference was the optics Mr. Prowl's where blue Barricade's where red.
"Sparkling there's something else going on here, you are not just afraid of me because I'm a Deception you've spent too much time with the weapons specialist to be."
I gulped.
~Sweet-spark? Is what Barricade said true?"
Spark-kit?
"Mean man!"
I didn't mean too I really didn't but all of this was too much for me and I felt my power surge outward hitting Barricade showing him, Ravage and Uncle Optimus got them through our bond.
I don't know how long we sat in silence after that but it was a long while. Barricade de-activated his holoform and sat on the other side of the room, Ravage and Uncle Optimus stayed silent but sent me comfort through the bonds. Nothing changed till Starscream came to relive Barricade from watching me, a chill settled over me Ravage hadn't wanted to leave me but Barricade made him. So now I was left alone with Starscream who watched me with curiosity, Uncle Optimus once again wrapped his spark completely around mine, Starscream bent down to my level.
"Sparkling would you like to go flying with me?"
Flying? I've always wanted to fly and I didn't get a good chance to when Megatron took me. I nodded and climbed up on his hand, Starscream transformed around me and places me perfectly in a seat; I bounced in the seat excitedly both Uncle Optimus and Starscream laughed at me.
"Ready little-one?"
"Yes Starscream!"
"Starscream did he really do that?"
"Yes Goldheart he did,"
Starscream Laughed and I giggled. Starscream has told me stories about his trine-mates Skywrap and Thundercracker, Starscream was telling me about the time when they were going through training and Skywrap crashed into the training building. From all the stories my family had told me about Starscream you would have thought him evil, sneaky and a coward but in reality he is not, Starscream is actually very smart, very funny, and very protective of those he cares about.
"Starscream do you care about me?"
Starscream's engine sputtered he nearly dropped out of the sky.
"Starscream?"
"We're going back now,"
I heard the edge to his voice so I stayed silent as Starscream flew us back to the Deception base. Did I do something wrong? Why did Starscream seem mad at me? Uncle Optimus assured me that I didn't do nothing wrong but it felt like I did, it kind of felt like what happened with Barricade. Starscream dropped me off with Ravage then he and Barricade left to a meeting, I was exhausted from worrying over things I had no control over; I slowly fell asleep.
