Hot Shot's girl: Warning, this chapter is sad so read on if you must, but if you want to cry then play sad music or songs, but don't if you want to stay a little happy. Just warnin' all of you.

Hot Shot was brought back to the one place he never wanted to see again . . . Unicron. He wished he could shut down and this would all just be a bad dream, but it was too real to even think such thoughts. When he entered the very same wires that were accustomed to tearing up his body had taken him once again and morphed him into the wall where he couldn't escape. He was trapped in a nightmare just like so many years ago.

Hot Shot had managed to take up his courage and shut down before Alpha Q came in to see the bearer of Unicron's spark. He was younger than Alpha Q had exspected, but nevertheless he kept their master alive through the years.

"So how are we going to separate his spark from the master's?" asked Rhinox as he watched Alpha Q examine the young autobot.

"Let me worry about that," said Alpha Q as he scanned Hot Shot up and down. "I can see why Unicron picked him to be his successor and carry his spark. He is strong and tough. Unicron admires that in a transformer . . . something you four, I guess, didn't have."

This caused a great frown on Rhinox's face. He then decided to leave the room, but then Cheetor came in and took his place.

"What do you want Cheetor?" asked Alpha Q.

"You won't hurt him will you?" he asked coming closer to Alpha Q. "The separation of sparks won't kill him will it?"

"Why do you care?" asked Alpha Q as he turned to the caring horseman.

"We were . . . friends when Unicron had him," said Cheetor.

"Yes, he is quite friendly when he wants to be huh?" grinned Alpha Q. "But nevertheless he might die due to the spark separation."

At this Cheetor let out a low growl of anger. Alpha Q heard this and so turned to him once again and asked rather loudly-

"Do you want your MASTER revived or not?!"

Cheetor said nothing he just stomped out of the room. Alpha Q then turned his gaze to the young mechanoid. He wondered many things.

"You're tough Hot Shot," he said gazing at his resting optics. "No wonder why Unicron held you dear to himself and trusted you with holding his spark."

Starscream and Alexis sat out on her front porch gazing at the shooting stars that passed overhead, but at times they would get distraced by each other as they held each other close to themselves. Starscream would, often, stroke her soft brown hair as she rested against him. She would get vey distracted by Starscream's teasing with her. They held close to each other and, would often, share kisses between one another.

She liked kissing him and he liked kissing her. That moment lasted for quite a long time till Alexis broke it at a small kick of her child. She then turned from Starscream and downcast her eyes in sadness.

"What is it now Alexis?" asked Starscream growing tired of not being able to share kisses with her like he used to.

She then rested her hand on her belly and thought to herself for a moment without saying a word.

"Is it those hormones again?" asked Starscream.

She then opened her mouth and softly said-

"Maybe, but . . . I'm scared Starscream . . . I'm scared that at any minute the child will bust out of me, I mean after all I am organic and the child is . . . a transformer made of . . ."

"Metal," Starscream finished. "Well it's almost been a year and so far nothing has happened."

"Yea, so far," muttered Alexis.

"Alexis don't think like that!" said Starscream making her look at him. "You'll worry yourself to death and I am NOT looking forward to your death Alexis."

Alexis then gave a small smile, but her thoughts were still the same. Perhaps it was just her hormones acting up again. Perhaps everything would be fine. She still didn't have the heart to tell Starscream that she told Dr. Jones, after all what would he say about that?

"I know Starscream and I'm not looking forwad to it either," she said plainly.

"Of course not!" scoffed Starscream. "No one ever would now stop letting your mind set on this and try to cheer up . . . please?"

"How can I when I'm seeing a transformer and you could get killed any day in battle and I'm having a transformer child that I'm worried about that I'll not be able to carry for lone?!" she shot back.

"Alexis be gentle will ya?" said Starscream seeing her overreact. "You don't want to trigger an early birth do you?"

"OH MY GOODNESS YOU'RE RIGHT!!" she shouted beginning to panic.

Starscream just began to laugh like he had never before.

"Yup, it's your hormones," he chuckled.

"Starscream you . . . meany!" she said pushing him.

"Meany huh?" he laughed at her resulting in calling him not well thought of names.

This then caused Alexis to laugh and they just spent that night watching the stars and laughing. When Alexis had gotten tirned she went to bed and Starscream just watched her peacefully sleep. He smiled as he did this. She was so beautiful . . . surely Primus made a mistake in letting him meet her.

"So . . . do you live here now?" came an all-to-familiar voice.

Instantly Starscream turned with his swords drawn and pointed them at the intruder. It was none other than Silentscream . . . his mother.

"Mother . . . what are you doing here?'he asked.

"Just came to see the girl who had stolen my son's spark," she said making her way to the sleeping Alexis. "So this is her huh?"

"You stay away from her!" said Starscream pointing his sword at his mother. "You were wrong she did not steal my spark I had freely given it to her before I was killed by Unicron. I love her."

"I can see that," she said as she noticed Alexis' large belly.

She then placed her hand on Alexis' belly, but Starscream was alarmed and made her stop.

"Don't touch her!!" he said moving closer to her.

"Oh you bad boy," she grinned at him. "She's having your baby."

"It was an accident," said Starscream trying to explain. "We don't . . ."

"That's what they all say," she said sutting him off and letting out a small giggle.

Her mood then bacame serious and as she sighed and she looked at him and said-

"You shouldn't lover her Starscream. She is human, mortal, and you are not. She is easily hurt and you are not. Primus warned this remember?"

"I don't care what any one says I . . . LOVE . . . HER!" he said as plain as he could.

She will die," she said her face as emotionless as ever. "And very soon."

"NO!" gasped Starscream, but seeing her stir and almost awake he lowered his tone of voice. "Is it because of the baby?!"

"No," Silentscream said as her grin came back to her sly lips.

She then looked at her son with Scarlet optics and then smiled and pointed at him and said-

"You will kill her."

"NO!!" growled Starscream. "NEVER!!!"

He then readied to draw Silentscream out of his presence.

"You cannot escape your destiny my son," she sighed. "You will kill her and very soon too."

"GET OUT!!!" he shouted not caring if he began to wake Alexis. "GET OUT NOW! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!"

She then jumped out of the window and just grinned at him and said-

"Sorry about your life Starscream. Blame it on Primus."

She then vanished in the night sky. Alexis awoke to see an angered Starscream.

"Starscream, what's wrong?" she asked sitting up.

Starscream could not hold in his anger. He let out his cries and slammed his fists into the wall. Alexis then came to him and tried to calm him down, but he had almost turned on her too.

"Starscream?" she said holding her belly. "What's wrong?"

Starscream's pants of anger came out loud, but soon let down as he gazed at the frightened Alexis. He then embraced her and began crying-

"I would never hurt you Alexis . . . NEVER!!!"

"Oh Starscream," she sighed Sadly embracing and trying her best to comfort whatever discomfort he was dealing with right now.

He was so many a time confused in his confused feelings. He would go mad if anything ever happened to her.

Optimus, his men, and Rodimus and his men decided to join forces and figure out a way to rescue Hot Shot. Optimus had not choice but to tell why Unicron's men wanted Hot Shot.

"WHAT?! Hot Shot has the spark of Unicron?!" cried Jetfire learning this revelation.

"So he wasn't the REAL Hot Shot?!" asked Ironhide.

"No, he is the real Hot Shot, but Unicron's spark was hiding inside his own spark. Unicron knew one day his spark would estinguish and so he gave part of his own spark to Hot Shot so it would live and gorw and one day come back to its original body," said Optimus.

"Yes and now we must rescue Hot Shot before Alpha Q attempts a spark separation of their sparks . . . which could possibly kill Hot Shot," said Rodimus finishing.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" shouted Ironhide. "Let's go get Hot Shot before Unicron is revived!"

"It's not as simple as that Ironhide," sighed Optimus. "We still don't know where they've taken him. Prowl and Inferno are on that now. So now all we can possibly do it wait and pray to Primus that he is kept safe."

At that all bowed their heads down in sadness. All knew that they would probably never see Hot Shot again. Time went by and still no information on Hot Shot's where-abouts. It was a little strange to be teamed up with Rodimus' team, but they made the most of it.

"So," started Jetfire as he gazed at Landmine who sat next to him. "How long you've been with Rodimus huh?"

"Ever since he left cybertron," said Landmine.

"Oh, well that's a long time," said Jetfire shaking his head.

They didn't speak after that. There was nothing to say or speak of. All were focused on finding Hot Shot. All were focused on hoping he was well.

After long hours of waiting Prowl and Inferno came running in the room crying 'they found it'.

"Have you found the where-abouts of Hot Shot?" asked Optimus as he came to them.

"Yes!" said Prowl as he put the map on the monitors. "It's right there past pluto. It's Unicron's body."

Good," said Optimus as he turned to his men. "Now we need to scan his body and figure out a stradegy to rescue him."

Then Strongarm comes running in with Kicker saying they found more energon.

"That will have to hold Strongarm," said Optimus holding his arms up.

"But sir . . . Megatron and his decepticons are attacking there!" said Strongarm.

Starscream had left right after he got a call from Megatron. He didn't want to leave her, but he had no choice. Alexis then decided to got to bed for she was very weary at that moment. When she slept she was interupted when a pain came to her body.

It felt as if pulses of apin surged through her body as she slept. She began to sweat imensely as she struggled to sleep. She began to toss and turn, but nothing seemed to help. Even though through all this she never seemed to wake up.

The very last pulse of pain came and it hurt so much that she had fainted and the last thing she remembered was opening her eyes a bit to see not the light of the sun, but something else. When she had finaly woken to the sight of the rising son she turned to her side and felt something slide down her neck. She felt it and then looked at it and saw it was her pendant, but the stone that was in it was all but gone. Only a small pebble remained.

"What the?" she whispered as she gazed at it.

She had noticed how light she was and touched her belly and found it was flat again.

"What happened?!" she gasped.

She then felt something beside her. It felt like Starscream, but different. Perhaps it was her minicon? She then looked and when she did she let out a loud squeal of surprise and joy.

It was her baby! Alexis looked at it for a moment and found that it laid quietly on the side of her bed. It then, as it looked at her with green optics, smiled and let out a small squeal. It moved its legs back and forth and moved its hands around as well. Alexis then smiled and picked it up and held her child close to her chest.

She found she was still large, but at that moment she didn't care how she focused her mind on her new baby. It's optics were like that of the pendant's stone and so at this she wondered if the stone had somthing to do with the baby even being here. She had then notcied a bright yellow glow shoot throughout the house. The sun had risen.

This gave a bright smile to Alexis. She then felt the baby move its hands to squeeze her shoulder and it was tighter than she wished it to be.

"No, no," she smiled as she moved the baby to rest in her arms below her chest. "Don't be doing that."

When she looked at her baby she saw it looked like Starscream, well it had to for she was human not transformer. She then hugged it close to her neck.

"I guess that pain was my contractions last night," she said laughng a bit at her own stupidity.

She then held her young sparkling to her face and smiled and said-

"Wait till your father sees you . . . or Dr. Jones . . . DR. JONES!!!"

She had then called him and asked him to come down.

"Why of course Alexis," he smiled. "What's wrong?"
"Well," started Alexis, but then she was cut off by the baby starting to cry and when Dr. Jones heard this his mind only came to one thing.
"She's having the baby!" he said dropping the phone.

He then ran off crying-

"She's having the baby!!"

"Dr. Jones?" asked Alexis but he was gone.

So she waited for him to come. She sat in a tal chari and just tried to get her child to stop crying. She did as she began to sing a lullaby. Then Dr. Jones bursted through the door and came to her saying-

"Now just stay calm Alexis you'll be alright!"

"Um, doctor?" started Alexis looking down at him.

He then looked up and saw how huge Alexis was.

"Alexis . . . how'd you get so big?!" he asked as he looked to see she was the size of a transformer.

"You already had the baby!!" he jumped.

Hm, hm, yes," smiled Alexis as she lowered herself so that the doctor could see her child. "It happened in the night, my contractions, when I awoke my baby was here as the sun rose . . . is it a boy or a girl?"

"Well let me see," started the doctor as he scanned the baby's body.

Alexis waited, almost, paitently for him to say for she had figured out the perfect name whether her child was a boy or girl.

"Neither," he said as he looked at her.

"What?!" gasped Alexis with a confused look on her face.

Dr. Jones then began to crack up and said-

"Oh, I'm just kiddin' Alexis!"

"Doctor, that wasn't very funny!" said Alexis getting a bit angry.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist!" he laughed.

The baby then began to start crying and Alexis sat up and began to bounce it a little.

"Well?" she asked impaitently.

"You are holding in your hands a healthy, and beautiful, baby boy," smiled Dr. Jones.

"A boy huh?" smiled Alexis as she gazed at him. "I think I'll call him Sunraiser."

"Why's that Alexis?" asked Dr. Jones.

"When he was born," started Alexis as she gazed at her son. "It was like he brought the sun with him."

"Oh, well that's a good name," said Dr. Jones. "Do you think Starscream will like the name? I mean he didn't want him to be called Starscream Jr. did he?"

"No, no," shook Alexis. "He'll love the name."

The doctor then got a call by Kicker.

"Yes, what is it Kicker?" he asked. "What's that you foud more energon? That's great! The decepticons and autobots are going at it right now?! I'm on my way!"

No, Starscream, thought Alexis. He might never get a chance to see his son!

"I'm coming with you Dr. Jones!" she said boldly as she stood up.

She then went in her room and placed Sunraiser down on her bed. She then came back to the doctor.

"But you can't. What about the baby?" asked the doctor.

"He'll be fine," said Alexis. "I need to find Starscream before something happens to him."

"Alright Alexis," sighed Dr. Jones. "Even though I don't like it you can come, but be careful."

"Thank-you doctor," she smiled. "You don't know how much this means to us."

The autobots and decepticons fought neck-in-neck for the energon. It was on a new planet that was simular to earth, but they soon took it to the stars. Starscream was caught in a fight with Landmine and was hit hard in the chest forcing him into the planet's atmosphere. He was then shot in the back by Jetfire and plumeted towards the ground.

He hit hard creating a large crater in the ground. He could hardly get up but he did. He painfully, but slowly stood up. His body acked from the fight, but he managed . . . that is till he heard her.

"Starscream," it whispered to him. "Starscream."

"NO!" gasped Starscream realizing it was Silentscream. "Get away from me!!"

Starscream then began to see her everywhere and it made him go insane. He then remembered her from what he could of her. he remembered her curse of a lullaby. He remembered her speaking to him before he turned on Megatron, his father.

"No, get away from me you CURSED WITCH!!!" he shouted in the darkness.

He could see her everywhere grinning at him whispering his name like she owned him. He hated her now. He remembered how she left him as a child and ever he hated her.

"Right here Starscream," she whispered from behind him.

When he turned he saw her mocking grin at him and she just stood there gazing at him with her evil scarlet optics. He then grew angry and charged her with his sword. It pierced through the stomach . . . but it wasn't her.

"ALEXIS!!!!" he cried as he found his sword stuck through her body.

Her eyes were wide open. She couldn't speak she just gazed at him with a 'I know it wasn't your fault' look. In her eyes Starscream could see her sadness and his being crashed together saying 'why did it have to come to this?' Starscream had to do something to ease his love's pain and sadness. He then pulled out his sword and fell to his knees mourning her.

"NO!!" he cried as he gazed at her face.

This time her eyes were closed and her breath had left her . . . she was dead. Starscream cradled her close to his chest and wept over her. He slowly rocked back and forth, but nothing helped . . . nothing could ease his hard pain. He had just killed his only love and their child.

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!" he shouted in the night air.

It had then begun to rain and ever he wallowed in the mud. As he held her close to him there came a presence of someone behind him saying-

"I told you this would happen Starscream."

"NO, NO!!!!" shouted Starscream trying to wake from his nightmare.

Silentscream just stood there almost grinning. She then smiled and said-

"My prediction always come to be. There is nothing I can't predict."

"Oh yea," said Starscream letting his anger take hold of him and give him power. "PREDICT THIS!!!!"

He had turned and jabbed his sword in her belly. She gazed at it for a moment with her mouth wide open from shock she then let out a screeching, horrible scream that could make any one never hear again. She had then vanished into nothing as the ran poured down. Starscream . . . would not miss her.

The autobot's saw Starscream holding Alexis' dead body and so tried to get her body, but Starscream had vainshed and was seen no more. The decepticons retreated and the autobots mourned Alexis' death.

"How could this happen?" asked Jetfire. "Why would Starscream kill her?"

"It looked like he didn't mean to," said Rodimus as he crossed his arms.

"Dr. Jones then came to then with a sad face. He looked at Optimus and said-

"Optimus . . . we need to go to her house."

"Why?" asked Optimus.

"I'll tell you when we get there," he sadly said as he left the room.

He had partly blamed himself for her death. If he hadn't had let her come then she would still be there with them now. They had gotten to her house and then Optimus asked the doctor-

"Doctor, what are we looking for?"

"For Sunraiser," said Dr. Jones with sadened eyes.

"Who?" asked Optimus.

"Uh . . . guys," came Jetfire's voice from Alexis' room. "You might want to see this."

Then as all came to see what it was they all stopped dead in their tracks.

"What is it?" asked Ironhide his face dumb-founded.

"It's a baby you idiot!" spat Landmine as he came and picked up the child. "Look at him . . . he's just a newborn."

"Doctor, is this Sunraiser?" pointed Optimus at the child.

"Yes," sighed Dr. Jones. "He is was just born . . . he is the son of Alexis and Starscream."

"WHAT?!" gasped everyone. "Is that possible?!"

"I haven't quite figured it out yet, but yes . . . they had a child together and he lays in Landmine's arms," said the doctor.

"So you like kids huh?" said Jetfire gazing at Landmine's soft affection towards the child.

"I have three sons of my own, but they're all grown up and moved out . . . I miss them very much," he said gazing at the small boy.

"Then he is in your care," said Optimus.

"W-what?!" asked Landmine not believeing what he just heard.

"Hey, What about me?!" asked Jetfire. "I have a kid too!"

"Yes, but Landmine has actually raised his to adults and yours is just a todler," said Optimus.

"So," muttered Jetfire crossing his arms.

"Thank-you Optimus," smiled Landmine gazing at the smiling child. "I won't let you down in raising him to be an autobot."

Optimus then turned to Dr. Jones and sighed-

"Wait till the others hear about this."

Starscream floated around in space for the longest time mourning Alexis. He then decided enough was enough and he then went back to her valley that she lived on and had buried her next to the trees where he had first kissed her and showed his love to her. That tree held many memories as he gazed at it and many he wished he hadn't reflected on.

FLASHBACK

"Do you love me Starscream?" asked Alexis as she lay on in next to the tree.

"Of course I do," he smiled and he cupped her face and kissed her again.

The wind was soft and the grass flowed in the valley like a mass beautiful ocean. It was a perfect place for a couple to be.

"Then prove it," she giggled as she got up and stood next to the tree.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Starscream as he sat up.

"Mark our names on this tree like other couples do so that everyone knows they love each other," she smiled.

"Fine," smiled Starscream as he got up and stood next to the tree.

He then took his sword and did what Alexis wanted he carved their names in the tree.

"And make a heart around them," smiled Alexis.

"What?" smiled Starscream as he gazed at Alexis.

"Like this," she said taking his arm and guiding it in that shape. "See, isn't it pretty?"

"Yes it is," smiled Starscream as he turned to her.

She then blushed and said-

"I always wanted to do that."

Starscream then leaned to her and kissed her gently against the trunk of the large tree with their, now, names carved on it.

END FLASHBACK

"I love you . . . Alexis," he said as he held her pendant close to his spark and a single tear ran down his face. "I'll never love any other like you . . . never."
