Hey guys, I'm sorry for not updating this fanfiction, but from now on I'm only going to try and update this storyonce or twice every week because these past few weeks have been kind of going by really fast. So, here's a new chapter and it's mostly going to be about Phoenix's internal conflict and I'm thinking about having her brothers come back to life in the next couple of chapters, so stay tuned.
Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers Prime except for this story and my OC characters. I also don't own Astoria because she's actually a part of the transformers world.
Phoenix's P.O.V.
I smiled as everyone in the rec room were watching Bumblebee and Saturn share their first kiss as mechfriend and femmefriend. My little twin is growing up so fast, but I'm happy for her. At least, she has someone else to rely on and she can have some normality in her hectic life. I wish that I had someone who would protect me, someone who would hold me close to their spark, someone whose not afraid of what I am, someone who'll care for me no matter how tough the situation is, someone who actually understands me and someone who likes me for who I am. Someone who won't judge me, someone who can put up with my weird personality and someone who isn't afraid of me. Quickly, I pushed those thoughts out of my processor and walked to the training room to try to keep my mind off those topics. Once I start thinking those things, that's when I start to get all depressed, then Saturn's going to notice, she's going to confront me about it, I won't want to answer her, then we're going to start fighting and that usually ends with her crying and me sulking. And honestly, I'm not in the mood to go through with all of that and I just want to take my anger out on the dummies in the training room. I walked in and started shooting at the dummies and targets with my guns, taking my frustrations out on the inanimate objects for about half an hour.
"Hey, Phoenix!" Cathy called from the door and I turned around to give her a faint smile. I lunged at the dummy and crushed it into a pile of scrap metal; I left it there on the floor and turned around to see all of the children staring at me with huge eyes and jaws dropped. I gave them a smug grin.
"What? Did you like the show?" I asked them and they immediately snapped out of it.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Miko exclaimed loudly much to Jack's chagrin.
"Yeah, that was amazing," Raf, agreed with an excited smile.
"Where did you learn how to fight like that?" Jack asked curiously and I smiled faintly as I took a seat up against the wall to rest a bit.
"Well, I had four older brothers who were famous for sparring back on Cybertron. It was also a great hobby for them and since my parents were usually busy for most part of the day, it was their jobs to make sure my twin and I got our necessary training. They were not only our mentors, but they were also our best friends," I stated dolefully and Cathy placed a comforting hand on my leg.
"Didn't you have any other friends besides your brothers?" Karina asked curiously and I looked at the ground sheepishly.
"Well, there were a number of reasons why I didn't have many friends, but I don't really want to bore you with them," I told them, but they kept begging me to tell them. Eventually, I gave in.
"Okay, okay. I was never really the social type and one day when I went to school for the first time, I got into a really horrible fight with most of the kids and my parents decided to home school me. So, normally I'd hang out with my brothers and their friends, but at least Saturn had a couple of friends. Plus, my love for sparring kept me busy and controlling my anger took up a lot of time for me. Not a lot of femmes liked me that much because of how unfeminine I acted. That and when the war on Cybertron broke out, it became dangerous for Guardians and most of them ended up dying," I explained hesitantly.
"Wait, so are you and Saturn the last of your kind?" Jack asked worriedly and I nodded solemnly.
"So, what's going to happen to your race?" Cathy asked and I looked at her confusedly. "I mean, how are you going to keep the Guardians' species alive?" Cathy clarified.
"Most likely if Saturn and Bee's relationship leads to something more, then they'll have sparklings and continue on with our species," I explained to her and Miko snickered. I raised a confused optic ridge up at her.
"What's so funny?" I asked confusedly as all of the children were trying to stifle their laughter.
"Phoenix, you're really clueless," Cathy exclaimed as she giggled loudly and they all started laughing uncontrollably. Now, they lost me.
"Okay, you lost me," I exclaimed confusedly and their laughter quickly died down.
"What are you going to do to help continue your species?" Miko asked and that's when I understood what they were laughing about.
"Not much I really can do considering that I don't have a mate," I answered nonchalantly on the outside, while on the inside I was struggling to keep from blushing.
"Oh, really? Are you sure that a certain Prime isn't a potential candidate?" Karina asked slyly and then the alarms sounded saving me from having to continue that conversation. I ran into the rec room to see everyone gathered around Ratchet who was furiously typing at the Ground Bridge's controls.
"Why'd the alarms go off, Hatchet?" Ironhide asked gruffly and Ratchet scowled deeply.
"I told you not to call me that," Ratchet retorted. "It seems as though a certain pod is hurtling in the middle of Arizona with strange symbols on the surface. It appears to be in the language of the Guardians," Ratchet explained and I froze. Something told me that this pod was no ordinary pod, could it be one of my brothers? I thought excitedly. Saturn and I rushed to the controls with excited smiles and we quickly translated the symbols.
"Here lies a flash of bright light that is as bright as the brightest star in the entire universe. Slain in battle before his time, treat him well and he will be completely loyal to you. He has a spark as bright as the Nova Star, the comet of light," Saturn and I read the cryptic symbols in unison. The room was completely silent and the sisters shared a knowing look together.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Arcee asked voicing everyone besides the two sisters' thoughts.
"It means a fallen warrior who died in battle is given a second chance at life if we get to him before the Decepticons do," Saturn explained eagerly.
"Do you know this fallen warrior?" Elita-One asked her and we shared a knowing smile.
"I guess you could say that," we replied at the same time and everyone looked at us suspiciously.
"You know something, don't you," Firestar stated with a curious look on her faceplates.
"We'll explain later, but right now we've got to get that pod before the Decepticons get their grimy servos on it," I replied hurriedly and Saturn ran into the cargo hold where they were keeping the All Spark securely guarded.
"Phoenix, what are you not telling us?" Optimus demanded and gave him a weak smile.
"Remember when I went offline?" I asked him and he nodded grimly. "Let's just say that me and Saturn won't be the last Guardians anymore," I told him and he gave me a confused look.
"Wait, are you saying that that pod is going to be one of your family members?" Andromeda asked perplexedly and I smiled.
"You could say that," I said and Saturn slid into the room with the All Spark in her servos.
"Ready to bring back one our favorite big brothers?" Saturn asked mischievously and I snorted.
"Sure, but good luck when he meets your new mechfriend," I replied and Saturn face palmed in annoyance.
"Oh Primus, I'm totally fragged this time," Saturn exclaimed sadly and I laughed.
"Well, at least you won't be interrogated like Bee most likely will," I added and she groaned.
"Ratchet, open up a Ground Bridge to those coordinates. Phoenix, Saturn, Arcee, Ironhide and I will retrieve the pod," Optimus commanded and Ratchet swiftly opened the Ground Bridge. We hurried through the Ground Bridge just in time to see the pod crash into a dry desert similar to the Nevada Desert outside of base, but this one was a lot larger. The pod must've skidded the floor and stopped in the middle of the desert leaving a huge crater in its path. Saturn and I dashed over to the gray and silver pod, but beams of energy were being shot at us from the other side of the pod. When I looked up, I saw Knock Out and about 10 decepticon drones shooting at us and I growled menacingly at them. The Autobots ran up to our position and engaged into battle with the decepticons leaving us to handle with the pod.
"How are we going to bring Comet back to life with the All Spark?" Saturn asked stumped. I look at the battle and I noticed that there seemed to be more Decepticons joining in the fight; we didn't have much time left.
"I don't know, but we better figure it out quick because there are more decepticons coming," I said and the All Spark began to glow a familiar surreal light blue.
"I'll go and help and guard the pod, you worry about bringing our brother back," Saturn stated and I nodded my helm in agreement. Saturn stood in front of the pod with her spread out and a blue-green energy field surrounded in front of her and the pod with me inside. The All Spark levitated in front of me and I closed my eyes allowing the All Spark's energy to wash over my entire being, when I opened my optics again, I shoot a powerful beam of light blue energy at the pod.
"Comet of Light, arise!" I shouted and everything was silent as the pod began to glow and the sound of metal hitting metal was heard. The light emitting from my servos stopped, the shifting of gears froze and I opened my optics to see a large mech covered in silver and gray armor with silver wings stood before me with a lopsided grin on his faceplates.
"Did you miss me, little sis?" Comet asked playfully. I smiled and hugged him tightly.
"You have no idea," I whispered in his audio receptor, the force field collapsed and energon-curdling scream snapped us out of our trance. We whirled around to see Saturn being stunned by an electrifying rod and we immediately joined the battle successfully defeating the 'Cons. After a few minutes, Saturn was able to move again and she immediately gave Comet the tightest hug she could muster.
"Phoenix, is this your older brother, Comet?" Ironhide asked curiously and I nodded with a huge grin on my faceplates. "Well, I see where you got your fighting skills. The name's Ironhide, the Weapons Specialist." Ironhide said as he shook Comet's servo.
"Good to meet you. I'm hoping my younger sisters weren't too much trouble," Comet said sternly and we both cringed at that comment.
"Comet, you are welcome to join our team of Autobots here on Earth," Optimus Prime stated with a welcoming smile gracing his faceplates. Huh, he looks a lot younger and better when he's smiling.
"Thank you, I would very much like to join your team and watch my younger sisters," Comet thanked him gratefully.
"Ratchet to base, requesting a Ground Bridge back to base," Optimus called Ratchet on his comm. link.
"Comet," Saturn called uncertainly.
"Yes?"
"There's something I need to tell you,"
"What is it? Please tell me your not expecting a sparkling," Comet teased and her optics widened in horror. I elbowed him in the ribs and sent him a glare.
"No, um…it's just that….I…have a new….mechfriend," Saturn finished with her optics closed and Comet sighed heavily with a grim smile.
"Well, for a second there you scared me, but once we get to base I'm interrogating both of you." Comet stated and the Ground Bridge opened up. Comet and Saturn raced into the Ground Bridge with Ironhide right behind them leaving me walking alone with Optimus silently. Let me describe it to you in one word, awkward.
I hope you guys liked this chapter. I'm actually going to make the next few chapters pretty long, so just keep that in mind. I think you're going to like Comet and just to remind you that Comet is the eldest out of all the siblings in Phoenix's family. Please review and rate this story and tell me what you think. Bye!
