Author's Note: This is my head-canon for how the Guardians were created.
Chapter summary: Omega should really watch where he's going on space flights.
"Hello" Normal talk.
"Hello" Talking through the bond.
"Hello" Com-link/Private Com-link.
"Hello" Thoughts.
Omega made his way to the Elite Guard HQ, he and his now twelve year old daughter were paying a visit to the other Autobot Guardians.
Ome was sat on her Sire's right shoulder and looked around in wonder, normally she was snug inside her Sire's Spark Chamber, but this time she had wanted to sit on his shoulder.
Omega had initially been reluctant about it, but in the end he relented on the condition that she wouldn't try to fly off, he would glance to her every now and then to make sure that she was still there.
Ome looked to her Sire and smiled, she waved.
Omega chuckled softly and looked ahead again, he approached the Elite Guard HQ.
"Whoa...what's this place?" Ome asked.
"This is the Elite Guard HQ" Omega answered "and see the large building near the back? That's where your Aunt and Uncles hang out if they finish their duties or have the day off"
Ome smiled and nodded.
Omega approached the large Autobot Guardian building, as usual the door was slid open halfway to indicate that the other Autobot Guardians were inside, he approached the half open door and looked in "Anyone home?" he joked.
Epsilon grinned a little from where he sat on one of the large chairs ideal for their immense size "Hey Omega, Ome, come in" he replied.
"Hello Omega, Ome" Kappa greeted and smiled "how are you?"
"Good" Ome replied with a smile.
Omega nodded and smiled, he sat down on the large couch.
Alpha was sat to his left and smiled, he reached round Omega and gently rubbed Ome's helm with a finger.
Ome chirped and smiled.
"How are things at your base?" Beta asked with a smile.
"Relatively normal, never a dull moment with this one round" Omega replied and gave his daughter a smile.
Ome giggled.
Kappa giggled "It must be interesting raising her" he replied.
"Has she managed to hide from you yet?" Zeta asked with a smirk.
"She tries, but she's not learnt the concept of stealth yet" Omega replied with a smirk.
Ome giggled.
Omega gave her a smile before looking to the his Autobot Guardian siblings "Ome asked me the other day about going on another space flight" he said.
"Well why don't you?" Sigma asked.
"Well with the bad stuff going on it's difficult to do so" Omega replied, 'bad stuff' was the codeword for the war, he didn't want his daughter to know of the war just yet, he'd wait till she was either thirteen or sixteen to tell her.
"True, but Ome isn't going to be a Youngling forever Omega, sometimes you have to put the bad stuff aside" Iota replied.
Omega sighed a little "I know, it's difficult at times when you've been at it for so long" he said.
Alpha, Beta and Gamma nodded in agreement with that statement, they along with Omega were the only ones to have seen Cybertron before the war, Delta had been onlined just as the war had started.
The Autobot Guardians had been onlined in a rather unique way, their bodies had been built by some of the best Cybertronian engineers the planet had to offer, however their Sparks were born from Vector Sigma and placed into the finished bodies, so essentially they were onlined as adults, then they would take an oath to fulfill their duty to protect Cybertronian life and go through a month of training, after that they would automatically join up with the Elite Guard and would have leniency on whether they wanted to remain with the Elite Guard or follow another leader's orders from a different division, under the condition that said division were doing something related to protecting Cybertronian life, like the Wreckers, Autobots and the Elite Guard.
"Well it's up to you Omega, but it may do her some good, she probably wants to have more adventure before the reality of the bad stuff sets in" Theta said.
That was an unsettling thought for Omega, but he nodded "I suppose so" he replied "I would need to work out the logistics"
Ome had mainly stayed quiet, just curiously listening to her family's grown up conversation.
"How about in two weeks time?" Beta suggested.
Omega nodded thoughtfully "It will give us time to talk with Ultra Magnus and Optimus about it" he replied.
"Sire?" Ome piped up.
"Hm? Omega responded.
"Can someone else come with us on the space flight?" Ome asked hopefully.
"I don't see why not" Omega replied and smiled, he looked to the other Autobot Guardians "who has the day off two weeks from today?"
The other Autobot Guardians checked their schedules on their datapads "I do" Theta said.
"Oh! I do as well" Sigma added and smiled.
Omega nodded and glanced to the others "Anyone else?" he asked.
The remaining Autobot Guardians shook their helms.
"That's alright" Omega assured and looked to Theta and Sigma "which of you wants to keep an optic on things at my base and which of you wants to come on the space flight with Ome and I?"
"Can I come on the space flight? It sounded like a lot of fun from what Ome told us" Sigma said with a smile.
Omega looked to Theta "Theta?" he asked.
"I don't mind keeping an optic on things at your base" Theta replied with a smile.
Omega nodded and smiled "Thank you Theta" he replied, all they needed to do now was discuss it with Optimus and Ultra Magnus.
The next day Sigma came to visit his eldest Autobot Guardian brother and his niece, he and Alpha were the more regular visitors, but all of them had visited at least more than once. He could tell that something seemed to be on Omega's mind but wasn't sure as to what exactly, he would have to ask once Ome went off to play.
After Ome had greeted her Uncle Sigma and spent half an hour with him, she went into her quarters to play.
Sigma smiled before he looked to his Autobot Guardian brother "Is everything alright? You look to have something on your mind" he said.
Omega gave a sigh "Ome asked me if she could fly outside when we go into space" he replied.
"You mean out in the open?" Sigma asked.
Omega nodded "I'm really not sure about it Sigma" he admitted.
"Maybe she wants to get to see what we see when we fly in space, you can't deny how beautiful space is from out perspective" Sigma replied with a smile.
"I know, but you know how dangerous space can be, what if she bumps into an asteroid? Some can be bigger than us" Omega replied, clearly his anxiety about it was getting to him "or what if the Decepticons spot us and try to shoot us out of the sky, or what if-"
"Omega, Omega, it'll be fine" Sigma assured "we can fly in our bipedal modes once we reach space, we can both keep an optic on Ome, and if the Decepticons do try to attack one of us can get Ome to safety while the other holds them off" he put a hand on Omega's shoulder "we got this, and you know Theta will be here at the base should Optimus need him for a battle, we got it covered"
Omega gave a sigh as he calmed down, Sigma was right, it wasn't like neither of them had flown in space before and they could take on the Decepticons, and get Ome to safety should anything like that happen.
Sigma smiled when he saw his eldest Autobot Guardian brother relax a little "It'll be fine, we'll have a great time" he said.
Two weeks later and Omega and Sigma were getting ready for their flight into space with Ome.
Ome was excited, she was sat in her Sire's alt mode since he didn't want her making the flight into space, but he would let her out once they were in space.
Theta was stood in the doorway of Omega's base and smiled "Have a great time" he said.
"We will" Sigma responded, a smile clear in his voice since he was in his alt form, a Cybertronian ship like the other Autobot Guardians.
"Any problems Theta, just call" Omega said.
"I know, I got it covered Omega" Theta assured "go have fun"
Omega and Sigma both activated their engines and ascended into the sky.
When they did reach space, Sigma transformed into his bipedal mode, his thrusters were still activated as he hovered in mid-air "Come on Omega, let her out" he said with a smile.
Omega, almost reluctantly, opened his airlock.
Ome activated her thrusters as she flew out, she looked around in wonder "Wow!" she said.
Omega transformed into his bipedal mode, like Sigma his thrusters were activated and was hovering in mid-air, his daughter looked so small compared to him and Sigma.
Sigma grinned "What do you think Ome?" he asked.
"It's so pretty, and big!" Ome replied with a smile.
"I know, this is what Omega and I see all the time, it's amazing" Sigma replied with a smile.
Ome grinned herself as the three of them flew further away from Cybertron.
Omega had loosened up a little but was still mostly tense, he really didn't like the idea of his daughter flying freely like this, but at the same time he reasoned that she had to do it sometime, and he and Sigma were keeping an optic on her so he did start to settle. He watched his daughter who was over to his right and Sigma was further over, he was so busy watching his daughter that he didn't realise that he was heading straight for an asteroid that was a quarter of his size.
The next thing Ome and Sigma heard was a loud bump and a string of Cybertronian curses, they both turned and saw that Omega had bumped into an asteroid, they both burst out laughing "Wow Omega! You were telling Ome to watch out for asteroids and you bump into one" he said as he laughed.
Omega grumbled as he brushed the stray pieces of asteroid off his armour, he gave his Autobot Guardian brother and his daughter a look.
Ome giggled "You ok Sire?" she asked.
"Or do you need an optic test?" Sigma teased.
Omega gave him a mock glare before looking to his daughter "I'm fine" he replied as they continued their space flight.
Sigma and Ome would snicker every now and then, one thing was for sure, Omega was not living this down.
