More than a starlight

(Last chapter) Chapter 22: The spark and the light


Nemesis: Security room

Soundwave was watching the Nemesis as usual. Nothing strange happen. Soundwave have done some research about the fighting style of Makeshift and didn't found any result which worried him. Without knowledge he cannot counter efficiently. He uses his memories to find something about a way of countering it. The only way is to keep a distance with him. He also hears the report about some strange cybertronian appearing in their mining site #132. It seems their leader is extremely powerful since he defeated Breakdown without any problem and quickly. Another major enemy appear for the decepticon. Suddenly, one of the monitor detect a powerful energy on the planet earth. He located it and warns Megatron about this energy.


Autobot base: control room (Morning)

When the 4 humans learned about Starlight absence, they were greatly sad and mad at Ratchet. Ratchet explains them it was for everyone goods but they didn't listen to him. Ratchet realise how much the humans are attached to Starlight in different ways…maybe for the 3 sparklings. Jack, Raf and Miko are 3 children like the 3 sparklings, they have similarities that create a strong link between them. As for June, she was like a carrier (mother) for the 3 sparklings. Since they don't have their true carrier presence or online, June has taken that role by instinct and kindness. When they were here, they were by the side of Tear, Blackswords and sometimes Starscream because they all care for him and they ease the pain of each other's.

Days have passed since they learn it and until Tear and Blackswords began their plans. Makeshift has returned and announced that Lucier heals without any problems. They all knew about his condition since Ratchet explains it to them and they all congratulated Lucier for his recovery. He was worried for Starlight, he also lacks the information about his conditions except what Origin told him and it was only a few words.

Tear and Blackswords were watching Ratchet cautiously. When he uses the GB they try to see if he brought some energon with him. After 2 orbital cycles, they finally got him. The watch him discreetly without being notice. When Ratchet took the GB, they immediately took the coordinates of the GB. When Ratchet came back, he didn't see anybots around here. He returns to the medic room.

"So…when are we going?" Ask Blackswords.

"When everybot are in recharge." Said Tear.

"…Should we bring the humans with us?" Ask Blackswords.

"It's too dangerous…I think we should go the 2 of us."

"Understood."

When the night has come, they return to the GB and Tear enters the coordinates. They took the GB and were soon by Starlight side.


No man's Land

Starlight was lying on the ground when he hears the GB. He was worried something bad happen since Ratchet doesn't come here often. He didn't try to turn around because his spark makes him suffer too much to even move. He hears 2 different foot sounds. When they were close to him he tries to look at them and he saw…Tear and Blackswords.

"What…the…slags are …you doing…here?" Said painfully Starlight.

They didn't answer, it was obvious for Starlight. They took him and make him sit on Blackswords legs. His helm was in contact with Blackswords chestplate. Tear kiss him on his front plate. Starlight became worried he might kill them.

"Get…out of…here." Said pitifully Starlight.

"No we won't!" Said Blackswords. His servos were supporting Starlight so he wouldn't fall and also hugging him.

"We won't let you alone. We won't let you suffer alone." Said Tear.

"I…don't want…to…hurt…you…my fir…ends." Said Starlight.

"We know but we won't let you hurt yourself by being absent." Said Tear with a little smile.

"Let us be with you…We need you little one." Said Blackswords with sadness.

They stay like this for an hour until they hear a sound. Then they hear a voice.

"Well, what do we have here?" Said a voice.

They turn around and saw Megatron, Soundwave and Airachnid in front of them. Starlight looked at Megatron and Airachnid with horror.

"We meet again Sire." Said Blackswords with a small voice.

Soundwave then point Starlight.

"What! You mean this sparkling is the source of energy?" Said Megatron with disbelief, until he saw Starlight shining body.

"So my victims is special…It will be a great pleasure to offline him, lord Megatron." Said Airachnid.

"No...We need him online so we can exploit this energy." Said Megatron.

"Over my offline body." Said Blackswords. He puts Starlight on the ground and took his swords.

"And mine too." Said Tear. She calls her weapons out of her arms and was ready to fight.

Blackswords charge at Megatron and begin to fight him. Tear was busy fighting Soundwave. Since they were all fighting, they were too busy to notice Airachnid moving closer to Starlight with murderous intension. She took her claws and then drop on Starlight vulnerable body.

Blackswords wasn't able to pass Megatron guard. After all, Megatron teach his sparkling his way of fighting so he knew how to block and countered them. Megatron was still proud of Blackswords great progress since Soundwave last report about him. Megatron decide to attack, Blackswords blocks the best he can but Megatron soon overpowered him and make him fall and injured him. The battle continued, each time Blackswords falls, he stands up and fight with more energy than before. Blackswords will of protecting his friends grown bigger and bigger.

It was the same for Tear. It was her first fight so she didn't have any chance to win. She tried to contact the base and successfully warn them about Starlight danger. All she have to do is win some time, but she won't resist a powerful and experienced warrior like Soundwave for long.

Airachnid hit Starlight again and again, but she can't hurt him. The light covering Starlight was too solid for her to injure him. Starlight feels his energy rising when he saw Blackswords and Tear in danger and completely forgot Airachnid. He then stood up, and, somehow, took Airachnid and throws her at Megatron directions.

"MY FRIENDS, GET BEHIND ME!" Shout Starlight, he didn't know what he was about to do, but he decide to trust his instinct. Tear and Blackswords broke with their adversaries and get behind Starlight. They both fell his energy and knew they have to obey him.

Starlight opens his right servos. Suddenly, all his energy moves to his right servo. Something appears over his servo. It was a ball of pure energy and has the size of his servo. This ball has the color of Starlight optics, green. He then threw this ball at Megatron and it blow up when it enter contact with Megatron chestplate. Airachnid was also cut by the explosion and Soundwave manage to dodge it. The explosion created a dense fog and blocks all visibility. When the fog dispersed they saw Megatron lying on the ground with an almost fatal injured on his chestplate, Airachnid was also in the same condition.

Soundwave took both of them and withdraw before they can finish them.

The 3 sparklings were amaze by what happen that they didn't hear the GB opening and the autobots and Makeshift rejoin them.


Sanctuary

"It's time." Said Primus.

"It seems the pain as subside for now." Said Riverad.

"This night, contact him. We shall begin the training soon enough."

"Understood Primus, destiny finally began to be in motion."

"We must prepare him to face it…and pray for the best."

"I know." Said Riverad. "His journey begins now."


Autobot base: Control room

It was the end of the day. The 4 humans came to the base. The 2 sparklings culprits to rejoin Starlight were assault by Ratchet rage mood until Optimus calm him down. They explain everything that happened and they believe it was the true.

"WOW! You shot a powerful ball that almost kills Megatron. AWESOME!" Shout Miko.

She continued praising Starlight for a while.

"So your back home." Said Starscream.

"Of course I am." Said Starlight.

"What do we do now?" Ask Jack.

"Having fun of course." Said Blackswords with a smile.

They smile at each other's and the day slowly came to the end and the night took his right. Little did anyone, including Starlight, knew it was Starlight final day with them for a long moment.


Sanctuary

Starlight was in the sanctuary. He saw Riverad coming to his direction.

"Hello my friends." Said Riverad with a smile.

"Hello…what do you want?" Starlight knew something important happen when he's in the sanctuary.

"I'm here to deliver an important message from Primus." Riverad said nervously.

"What is this message?" Ask Starlight unsure. It was the first time he saw Riverad nervous about Primus messages.

"He wants…you know…about your power…" Tries to say Riverad.

"I can take it. I'm strong after all." Said Starlight.

"Not enough." Whispered Riverad. He then talk louder: "He wants to personally train you. He wants you to control your power so you won't hurt anyone."

"That's very nice from Primus…there's something else to…That's what cause your nervously." Said Starlight uncertain.

"Yes…He wants to train you…far away from the earth, somewhere else in space, alone with him and me." Said Riverad. He finally said the message.

Starlight optics opens completely. He was frozen by the signification of this.

"I…I can't. Not after I finally found my Sire. I can't leave him…I can't leave my friends…I can't leave any of them." Protest Starlight.

"But if you don't…You would finally kill them…You are dangerous as long as Primus don't teach you…I'm sorry but it's the only way." Said Riverad.

"…I…can't leave…them behind…How long…How long must I train with Primus?" Ask Starlight. He knew he said the true.

"Between 2 or 5 stellar cycles." Said Riverad.

"…I thought it was longer."

"Primus can compress the time. He has more power than most cybertronians think." Said Riverad.

"I'll accept…I have no choice. I love all of them…I don't want to hurt them…So I have no choice but to accept his proposition…When shall I go?" Ask Starlight.

"When you are online…now" Said Riverad.


Autobot Base: Blackswords quarter

Starlight was online. His helm was on Blackswords tank. He quietly free from Blackswords arms and walks quietly out of his room. He then walks to his room. He took his entire holo image collection and the music box. He then goes to the control room when he hears someone whispered to him:

"It's a little soon, my little Starlight." It was Starscream, his Sire.

"…" Starlight looks away from Starscream.

"You can tell me what happen." Said his Sire.

"I…Alright, but don't wake anybot please." Starlight then explains his dream to his Sire. He listens to him quietly.

"I…see." Said sadly Starscream. He understands what's happening. His sparkling is going somewhere out of his reach…out of his life again. It hurts him more this time since it's not his decision but his sparkling choice.

"I must go…I'm sorry Sire. I do…I really love you but…I don't want to lose you because of me. This energy may overtake me again. I…I'm sorry, after all this time, when we are separated…and united again for a such short time…and now we must part away…but this time, I will come back sooner. Please…You have to let me go."

"You've grown up so much. You really are my sparkling. I love you so much…I know I must let you go…you…You will miss me."

"Sire?"

"Yes."

"Can you take me on your shoulders…one last time?"

"Sure." Said Starlight with a smile.

Starscream put his sparkling on his shoulders and escort him outside the autobot base. They look at the bright and beautiful star in the sky. Then they saw a shooting star passing through the sky.

"It's time." Said sadly Starlight.

His Sire put him on the ground. Starlight was shining again. He looks at his Sire with sadness.

"Good bye, my sparkling." Said Starscream.

"Good bye, my Sire." Said Starlight. A long tear pass through his faceplate. He then flew to the sky, he then slowly disappear in the sky. Then…He was out of the earth atmosphere.


The next day: Autobot Base: Blackswords room

Blackswords awoke from his recharge. He immediately sees something wrong. Starlight wasn't there. Tear awoke next and saw Blackswords worries. She knew Starlight was absent. They search all around the base and they didn't find him. They hear Starscream voice in their com. link:

"This is Starscream, everyone come to the control room immediately."

Everyone was in the control room, the humans, the autobot and Makeshift. Starscream then explains why Starlight was absent. They were all consternating by Starlight decision to go somewhere they can't reach him.

It took a lot of time but they accept his decision…after one week, but Blackswords was stubborn. He was in his quarter and refuses to go out for one more weak. You're an idiot. Why…Why did you go away? I promise I will always protect you…not the opposite. What…What can I do without you? I'm sorry…I…I should…I can't do anything. I'm too weak to fight my Sire…I'm too weak to protect you…I'm too weak to help efficiently the autobot…I can't do anything…No…I already successfully protect you and Tear…I must become stronger. I must go over my limits. I must be ready…when you come back. I will be ready. I will show you my true strength. I…I know you have no choice…I know…It's just…unfair…I'm sorry.

Blackswords hear someone enter his quarter, it was Tear.

"Are you alright?" She asks.

"I'm better." Blackswords answer.

"What are you going to do know?"

"I will train; train until I can protect you and the little one…no…Starlight…and you?"

"I will train with Arcee and Makeshift. Makeshift accept to train me with my pretenders ability. Also…Origin will help me and teach me his battle arts. So I will be here less than before."

"…Alright. I…I guess it was inevitable. We must part away for now."

"…I'm sorry."

"Don't…now I'm fine."

"Let's play with the humans. They will be happy to see you before our intense training."

"Sure." Said Blackswords with a smile.
