She was a sparkling on a mission. A top-secret one that nobody knew about and she had to keep it that way unless she wanted to get caught again. She had successfully escaped her prison guards for the day (a.k.a sparkling sitter), it had been hard, that she could admit. Sides had prepared her well for this kind of situation and Luna had to choose her words very carefully, but she did it and was now free. Luna knew that her chances were almost none too existence, at best, it was only a slim chance that she would not get caught, but she couldn't let that stop her. She was the creation of the fearful Ratchet the Hatchet and Ironhide like his name suggested, he had a behind that was like iron, and no one could kick it!. He was the best of them all at fighting. But the enemy could be lurking anywhere and at any entrance that she had to pass. The danger right now came from two long slim-legged creature that is called humans, and the threat that came from the giant gaping mouths which were waiting to devour her entirely if she gave them the chance to see her.

But she didn't.

Her stealthiness was - of - the- chart.

Luna looked around her in the hangar where she right now was hiding. It was so big that at least ten Optimus could be laying down and it still would be space in between. There was a lot of big boxes of different materials that retched high to the selling, and it was perfect for hiding behind them. Luna slowly followed the enemy as they walked away from her and towered the exit. She peered gently around the edge of the larger box, the two legs moved away from her position, talking and laughing with each other. It was laughter that she recognized; however, she could not hear what they were saying that made them laugh like that. Oh her carrier would be furious when he realizes what she's doing, surely he would tell her every aspect of how wrong it was not to follow the rules they set up for her. But what fun is it to obeying every law they made?. Not much.

Luna started to sneak back and stay close to the wall of the big hangar. She could feel the walls vibrating by the powerful engine that had been started up a while ago and gave away a low persistent humming. It was an intense humming, and the vibration could be felt through her whole body. The scents that met her delicate scent center was damp sent with a metallic tone of it, maybe a bit moldy. It also smelled like the air in here had been trapped for a long time, as if the place had never had the opportunity to bring in the fresh air. It was an ideal cave for hiding from the enemy. Suddenly the darkness enveloped her, and it took a few seconds before the night vision began to work. When the now soft light was lit, Luna could felt how the engines increased their strength as it started to move. They were on their way, and there was no turning back. Luna couldn't help grinning; this made it all so much easier. Now she would make sure to get out of this dark hole and into the freedom she knew was behind the big doors. It would be a challenge, and frankly speaking, it was something she needed right now. The life on the island had begun to be ... dull and ordinary. There wasn't much she could do, and almost all the time someone had to be with her, or she had to ask for permission to do anything.

Don't touch that.

Don't do that

Stay away to avoid any damage.

Look at you; you're in the way if you stand there

...Sit down and be quiet...

It was annoying, to say the least, even Wheeljack had kicked her out of his lab for the day. He wanted to try out a new experiment that could, or perhaps would, explode more than one time. And her Carrier had been on a terrible mode over something she had no idea of what and he did not like when she tried to entertain herself in his med-bay. Wherever she had been, she was in the way, and she did not want to be with other unknown humans on the base. Everyone she knew was going on a vacation and was going off base right this moment. And her sire would go to, maybe that what had made her carrier so angry? Bee was with Sam and Jazz was going with his charge to the mainland and to something that the humans called a holiday. It was then Luna had made up a new entertainment and game that had started to take place in her mind. She even had a name for it, because every mission should have a name to it. Hers was just perfect and fitted it all so well.

Missions holiday!

Luna giggled low as she walked out from her hiding place and over to the door and looked up at it. She tilted her head slightly to the right as she looked over the display that was on the wall to its right. She could easily reach it and open it, but she could not do that without a card or code that probably was required. Maybe both?. Never mind that, no one had said that this mission would be easy, and she liked a challenge. She had just the thing that would help her with this obstacle, and she fingered on her wrist to find the port that was there and pulled out a small cable. With her other hand, she started to bend up the little cover under the display. It was harder than she had thought to get it up, but she managed it, and many different colorful cables were exposed underneath the port. Luna crouched down so she could see the wire better. However, it was difficult with her recent vision. The sound of the engine was the only thing that was heard all around her as she worked, and the vibrations had now increased to a powerful beating sound that pounded in her audio receptors. Luna dragged out a lot of different cables and looked them over; this was harder than she had thought if she pulled too hard, she would break the thing, and the door would never open. But after some tries, she found the right spot and let her cable joined the system. Luna started to bypass all the codes and some of the program until new text popped up in front of her HUD, and she began to read through what was written. She remembered her moments with Jazz, his game she had been playing with; this was exactly like them! She could do this. She had entered the second stage to open up the door.

Luna had no idea how long it took, but her fuel tanks started to rumble in hunger, and her system pined her that it was time for a refuel. But she did not have any with her; she had not been thinking of that when she sneaked on board. And she could not stop now, she was so close to crack the code on the door, but the hunger began to gnaw more in her and Luna made a grimace. Maybe she should have picked up some refill? But it was not exactly as she had planned to stay this long in the hangar. Close, she was so close. A sudden ping made by the door and the green display lit up her helm, and the door slid open with a swooshing sound. Yes! Success! Luna walked into the doorway with a massive grin on her face, but her joy was short-lived as she stopped right in her track.

Oh, scrap!

Luna slowly began to follow the body in front of her from its feet up to its hip and then up to its chest. It was two-legged, dark blue trousers, a white sweater and a black leather jacket over it. The arms were crossed over the broad chest, and dark brown hands stuck out of their leader covered arms. Luna let her eyes fall on the person's face with wide optics. Dreadlocks fell into long, well-groomed threads around the dark brown face that stared down at her. Three of the dreadlocks were interwoven with a dark-like white band and adorned with gold beads. Her knees became weak; she recognized the braid and the gold earring that adorned the earlobe. Luna gaze wandered toward the man's face that was staring down at her with a grim look. Light-blue eyes that were hidden by a thin blue visor like glasses, but she could imagine that the eyes were undoubtedly watching her with deep displeasure and probably anger.

"Lunastorm" The voice was hard, dark, very serious and with a deep southern sound underneath its tone and the little sparkling flinched by that tone. She was so busted!

:: Yes?:: She squealed, he was mad. Not good, not good at all, he was furious, and a mad Jazz was not good. Her mission was a colossal failure; she had been captured by her prison guards one and only mate.

"Mind telling me what you are doing here?" he asked her and pulled his glasses up so that she could stare into his light blue optics that almost had a silver tint to them right now.

:: No?:: Luna piped up and hunched her helm down some more; her plating's pressed down on her frame as she tried to make herself as small as she could.

The humanoid form of Jazz stared down at her, he didn't say anything for at least a minute but to the sparkling. It was an eternity. He only holds her stuck there with only his eyes fixed on her. Luna flinched again; he was getting only angrier by the minutes. No scrap that, he was starting to look disappointed her. That was even worse coming from her favorite uncle.

"Try again." His voice was one octave from being a real warning.

:: I'm on a mission?:: She tried again looking up carefully at him, not wanting him to be mad anymore. A dark eyebrow was raised when he heard her answer, but he still stood there with crossed arms and stared down at her. Then he sighed, a very human action to do, but then most of the bots was quick to pick up the humans behavior. Even the closest humans picked up much of the curse words and slang from the cybetronians, so it was even. Even Luna had picked it up, also if the adults did not like her to use it, but it was fun to do. But that was so not the problem right now, and Luna looked up at Jazz again. Would he tell her creators? of course he would, her Sire was onboard, so there was no way he could hide her. She was busted

"Come on sparkling, let's get up on deck" Jazz told her shortly as he turned around in the big hallway and started to walk away to a stairway that was hidden in the wall on the other side of the open hangar door. She had to step up in that?. Suddenly the hungry feeling in her tank turned around, and it felt like everything started to spin in her mind. Threatening to come up the wrong way and she took a step backward. That was not in her plan!

:: Noo!:: she gasped and stared at him with wide optics and shakes her head quickly, she would not walk up there.

"Come on sparkling, better to face the music now then have Hide stomping down here in a rage that you are disobeying them again," Jazz said as he stopped with his foot on the first step up. It was a steep stair to walk upon, and just under a meter between the walls so Ironhide would have trouble getting down this way with his broad shoulders. Fortunately, their alt modes could remain on deck for the entire trip by boat ride, and soon they would have their transport plane connected to NEST but not yet.

Luna took a step back and shook her head so fast that she could feel her stabilizer lose their balance, and she tripped again on her rear. It was to close, to close, the walls would eat her up. Were there no other ways up? She could see an even better way out from here; even a truck could turn around in this place. There had to be a better way up.

:: Don't want to!::

"Sorry, but you don't have any choice sparkling, I will not let you run around down here by yourself" He did not understand why the sparkling reacted like this. Hide' would be angry, but it would pass soon, a few days grumbling and then gone. He was impressed that the sparkling had managed to stay hidden for this long on the large ship if she hasn't cracked the code for the hangar he would never have felt that she was there. But then again, he felt like this was something other than an angry creator.

:: I will take another way up then:: she said stubbornly as she rises again on her feet, her frame shock with a soft metallic sound and she did not move forward.

Ah, so it was the stairway that was the problem. Jazz looked up at the narrow passage; he did remember that the sparkling did not do well with tight spaces nowadays. Probably why she was so scared. But there was no other way up to the deck, only staircases like this one.

"Tell you what sparklett, I will carry you up, "he asked her now with a tender smile on his lips, "will that work?"

Luna looked at him and then the staircase, she did not want to walk upon it by herself, and she could not stand to see the walls coming closer to her and crushing her, making everything so tight. She looked away from the horror walk and then nodded. She wanted to be close to him if she had to do it and not see or think about anywhere he was walking. Jazz smiled softly as he walked to her, and without any other delay, he picked her up easy. Even if she was made of metal and probably waited around 120ibs or something he easily could pick her up. The fantastic invention of Wheeljacks humanoid form, they were really strong. Luna hooked herself around Jazz neck with her arms, hiding her helm in his hair. Her whole frame shivered, and she could feel Jazz tender touch of her back structure as he started to walk. Luna wrapped her legs around his midsection and cringed to him like a koala. She breathed in his scent, profoundly trying to place what exactly he smelled like; it was leather and something ells. It was almost spicy, it tickled her smell center and acted soothingly in some way. It was a fragrance that was perfect for him, reminding her that he still was there with them.

Luna could feel Jazz chuckling and patted her lightly on the shoulder "We are here now, Luna, you can let go."

Suddenly she could feel her Sires present, and he was not happy, and she shook her head and clinger to him harder::Nooo:: she whined, her sire would chew on her and spit her out like small bolts. But he had not forced the bond open yet, that was a positive thing. Perhaps. As creators they could push trough any walls a small sparkling could put up, it was a safety thing. But both of them respected her privacy even if she still was just a sparkling. But then again, perhaps it would have been better if they did force through the bond, then she did not have to be o afraid to let them in.

"Luna storm" Her whole frame stiffened by her father's dark vibrating voice, he was not at all happy. She could hear it on the sounding undertone. And that they both used her full name, it made them more or less alone when she was a lousy sparkling. And now she had been.

Ironhide´s humanoid form walked forward and met up with Jazz, his steps were stiff and his face tightly held by anger, but the electric blue eyes revealed the concern and fear he felt when both Prowl and Ratchet had informed them that Luna was missing from the island and nowhere to be found. The worst-case scenarios had rushed through his mind that something terrible had happened, she could have been kidnapped or worse she had been dragged out under the sea from a current or something, and they would not notice t before it would be too late.

He gripped on the small white sparkling that was hooked on Jazz "Let go, Luna," he told her, and her grip loosens on Jazz neck, and Ironhide picked up the small child. Because even if her frame still was around a short human in height, she was still a child in mind. A fast developing child, but none the less one. He put her down on her own two feet and let one hand rest under her chin and turned her head up and she was forced to look at him.

"What were you thinking?" he asked her with a gruff voice, and Luna flinched slightly. "Doing that to Prowl? And sneaking onboard the ship? Did you not stay p and think of what consequence your action could lead to?". Ironhide asked her and looked intently at her.

"We thought that something had happened to you" Lubricates was starting collect in Luna's eyes as she looked up at the war-hardened mech in front of her and she began to sob. Letting the bond burst open.

~I'm sorry!~she wailed to them both, and she was. As the bond flowed openly, she could feel the emotions they had felt when she had been gone. She had not meant to scare them like this, she only wanted to have fun, and the stealth game had been funny.

~I will not lie to you sparkling, it is not okay to do this~ Ironhide told her sternly ~We don't have these rules for the fun of it, it is for your protection~

~Yes, and even if the humans on the island have accepted us, there is still some that haven't~ Ratchet told the sparkling, relief over that she was fine filled the bond making the sparkling brake down more.

Ironhide sighted as he embraced his creation and hugged her close to his humanoid form. His big hand cupped the backside of her soft helm as she hugged him as much as her small arms could. He was still much bulkier and more massive than she ever would be.

"Now, when we have found her, what will we do?" Epps asked as he came to a stop beside Lennox "We can't turn the Perl around, we already are on a tight schedule as it is."

"I know," the Caucasian man beside Epps answered and looked over the sobbing sparkling and then to the Autobots as he was thinking. but he did not need to think too long "Ironhide, if it is alright with you, Luna can come with us, I know that Sara would not mind, and perhaps the whole introduction would go smoothly?"

Epps snorted beside him "that was low man" he chuckled "you going to use a cute baby robot to butter up your wife to the idea of gigantic aft kicking robots walk the earth? why did I not think of that?"

Jazz chuckled "What I have heard from Bee is that earth femmes tend to like all lot of cute creatures."

"Dang man! It is true, and if it is a cute baby, no matter what breed whatever it is, they will love it. Don't know what it is with the female population and babies. Maybe it is some inherited mother's instincts they all chare?" Epps grinned to the other black man that grinned back at him fist-bumping each other. The freight they were on was the same one that had brought them to the island the first time around. The pearl of India, And it was used to transport a large number of suppliers and other things that did not need to been taken by plane. It was not the best way, but it was what they could use right now.

Ironhide looked up at the others as they spoke, would that be alright? Would it be safe? Ironhide hugged the small sparkling against him as she started to calm down. He shared the thoughts with Ratchet.

~Perhaps that is for the best~ the grumbling voice of his mate broke through his thoughts

~I don't know Ratchet, there is still so many Decepticons out there and that organization that tried to kidnap her before and what is she will have an episode or anything? you knew how unstable the Allspark is within her~

~I know love, but the ship will not leave for the next four weeks and to send her back through-plane will not work, the best thing is that she will stay with you. And she should not have any problem from the Allspark after the one last week. But keep an eye on her ~ even if he did not like it and wanted to have his sparkling safe on the island, the humans would not let another ship travel to Diego Garcia anytime soon anyway.

"Alright, if you think that is okay with your mate Will, she can come with us," Ironhide grumble, and Luna looked up at him with teary optics.

~Really?~ she asked, this was too good to be true, she did not have to return to the island? Could she see the outside world?

"Yes," he told her, "But don't think that you will get away with no punishment, this reckless behavior will not be accepted "he warned her and Luna nodded slowly. She already knew that. But then again, it was probably worth anything they made her do.

This was so mind-blowing, it was like everything she had wondered as a child become a reality. She was living on a farm far away from the nearest town and with vast meadows and fields all around them. Storied about UFO and other aliens always had been present as she had grown up and it even had a place on her bucket list. To see a real living alien or UFO with her own eyes. So when her husband comes home for the first time in half a year and after the whole situation when they all thought that his group was dead. And with him, he had a new, huge truck she had been both shocked and overwhelmed with joy. But then this small metallic child had been with him, and he had told her a whole new secret. Let's say that she could cross that one of her lists.

"Are you sure that he is alright out there? maybe we should open the barn if they want to stay in there if the sun or the cold is t much" Sarah asked as she looked behind the curtain at the big black mech right outside on their yard. " Or did he need anything ells? fuel?"

"Relax, he has everything that he needs for the both of them," Will said as he put the dishes into the racket beside him. They had been home for a few days now, and the whole introduction had gone smooth, and he probably had the small sparkling to thank for that. Even if Luna could not talk about her behavior and curiosity that was of a child, it did not stop the sparkling from exploring or trying to speak to Sarah in her way and interact with both her and Annabelle.

"If you are sure," Sarah said as she cast one last look at the black transformed truck before she went over to her husband. Still unsure how a robot child could sleep outside, perhaps they were more durable than a human? But she was so childlike! Maybe she could enjoy sleeping in the hay?

"I am, he will stay out there and keep a lookout and watch Luna, if she gets cold she will sleep inside his transformed mode," Will said as he smiled at her and her motherly worries over the metallic child "It will be alright."

Sarah returned his smile as she took up the dish brush and started with the next plate that was in the now lukewarm water "I still can't digest it all, there is another life form out there in space, we are not alone. And you have one of them as what? your bodyguard?"

"I know what you mean when I first met them I thought that it was a huge joke, but they are the real deal, and something like that but mostly like an escort or guardian. Ironhide offered to drive me home safely " Will told her as he gave her a plate. "they are not so different from us. Obviously, they are made of metal and are a walking talking encyclopedias, but other than they are pretty human-like. Both with feelings and souls, only on a much larger scale, that is all."

"Yes, I can see that. But that is not all. Will!" Sarah continued and looked over at him with sparkling eyes as she with a gesture of her arm, splashes Will with the wet drops from the plate she's handing him" they have a living child! How did they succeed? Did they build her in a shop or something? it is mind-blowing!"

Will laughed at her outburst "I did ask that Ratchet about that, and he said that she is created the same way as a human child with the whole deal. only more metallic and more technology."

"really?" Sarah stopped what she was doing and looked at Will with wide eyes "huh, that is an image that I never thought I would have, big metal robots having sex? How does that even work? are they not both males of their kind?"

"Don't ask me; it's something you have to ask Ratchet. But what I know is that they are genderless, they have different models and with it have different sets of body parts" Will hummed and put another plate away on its right spot on the shelf.

Sarah smiled and pulled out the stopper from the sink and wiped her hands on a dry cloth. "I have to admit that I was worried first because Ironhide is so big and can easily hurt someone by mistake. But after I have seen him intervene with Luna and how he manages Annabelle, and to talk to him, my opinion has completely changed. You two are not so different from each other"

Will laughed and shook his head, how in the peace his wife came to that conclusion. He leaned against the bench and looked at her. "I take that as a compliment."

"You must; he is a big and strong man, robot, alien, cyber verse ..."

"Cybetronian"

"yeah, that name, hard on the outside with all the gruffness but with softness inside, and in spite of all that you both are war veterans and also fathers to each one a daughter" Sarah walked forward and stood in front of Will. She let her arms boxer in the larger brown-haired man and smiled up at him.

Will gave in to a playful, deep sigh and shook his head. "That's it; I'm doomed, if Anna even becomes a little bit like Luna, I won't have none energy or patience left for my wonderful wife. We can't have that now, can we? I think we have to talk about home school her; she will not be able to move away from home and no boys at all. She is at least 40. So I can keep track of everything she does."

Sarah Laughed, "No way that Luna is that bad! I think she is lovely and a lively child."

Will looked at her with an amused glint in his eye and gave in to a low laughing "really? She sneaked on board on the ship and played that it was a mission; she hates rules even if it is for her good, never listening and doing everything her way."

"Like I Said, Lovely teenage kid" Sarah laughed and leaned against him with a big smile "If our daughter is like her, we will be fortunate, so full of life and wonder!" Will wrapped his arms around her waist, held her in place, and Sarah let her arms slip around her husband's waist.

"Both of them are outside, and Anna is sleeping, we are in a big silent house, do you have any plans on how to entertain ourselves tonight?" Sarah asked

"oh I can probably think of one or two things that I can do, "and before she could answer him, Wills' lips had met her in a hungry kiss, and he held her as if she were his lifeline and her whole body just melted against his.

Luna looked over at the strange animal that was growling at her, it was small and almost red, or was it closer to orange?. Either way, the creature was not happy to see her, and it was raising its back so high up that it almost looked like it would breaker if it did it more. Luna hunched down so that she could look at the angry creature more carefully without getting anywhere near it. She remembers Will telling her about this animal; it was called a cat. An animal out of the feline species and was something of a house hunter? It hunted smaller rodents that could hurt the human's food or the other animal's nutrition. But more than that Luna had no idea of what it was and as a part of her punishment from her creators, she was now without any internet access and when they were back. She had clean up duty with Prowl. Luna looked at the strange feline animal, and it seemed so soft to touch, and she stretched out her hand against the animal. The red cat gave off a higher growling sound and with a fast movement, tore her hand. There was no hole or anything, but the feeling of the sharp claws tearing over her hand was not exactly comfortable. Luna pulled away in pure shock of that reaction, that was impolite! She gave it her own growling sound and quickly got up from the ground before she stomped on the ground hard so that the creature fled away in fright from her. Ungrateful creature!

"LUNA, what are you doing? " Ironhide voice was like a hard rap, and she shrugged and crouched a bit. He was angry, what had she done now? It was the damn creature that had been mean to her! She had copied it. It was not her fault that the cat had run away.

~It started it!~ Luna defended herself and pointed at the direction the cat had bolted

"No," The black mech said as he walked over to the sparkling, staring down at her "We don't scare innocent animals."

~But sire! ~ Luna complained and stared at her father and then looked away with a huffing sound; it was not her fault. The animal had even clawed at her. Luna looked down at her hand and then hid it behind her back and refused to look at her angry Sire.

"The cat was scared of you, of course, it would do that to defend itself" Ironhide scowled her

~I only wanted to say hello to it, and the animal hit me!~ she said and looked anywhere but at him, why was he so angry at her? she hated when they got mad at her.

"I know, but the animal does not understand your intention, so it defended itself. And you scared it even more because you are so much bigger than it" Ironhide vented out. That only meant that she would have a harder time to get closer to the animal. Luna stared down at her feet that she lightly kicked in the ground underneath her. It was okay; she did not want to be friends with the red creature anyway. It had been mean to her and not nice at all, so why did she have to be nice back at it?. What had she heard Mikaela say? Treat others like yourself wanted to be treated?. Yes, that was her words.

"You have to be careful with them" Ironhide scowled her some more and kneeled, feeling all of the stubborn feelings from his creation and how she was sulking over the fact that the cat had been scared of her. It was amusing, but he could not show her that. It was wrong to scare the animal because it had defended itself. Ironhide looked down at his creation one last time before he shook his helm, she was growing too fast, soon she would be in her youngling frame.

"Why don't you look around at the other animals? And this time, be more careful when you approached them. In their eyes, you are a danger, and they will be afraid of you if you are not calm enough" He tried as he looked her over, noting was damaged, and she still refused to look up at him. Stubborn sparkling, wonder who she had inherited that cod from?

~Alright~ Luna glanced up at him when he gave her head a slight pat before he stood up again. It was not like there was anything ells fun to do on the farm anyway. The house was surrounded by vast meadows, and green forests. in some of the fields were other four-footed larger animals that she did not remember the name of. Maybe they would be willing to play with her? They were more significant than her and would probably not get so scared of her as quickly as the cat had been.

It took her a while, but Luna kept close to the ground and watched the four-footed animals in front of her as she had come closer than she ever had though. One of the animals was smaller than the others, and it had more stapling steps as it moved around. As the creature was not used to being out and walking correctly or if the legs were too long for the substantial body it had. Luna watched the heard in silence and crawled gently forward ever so often; she did not want to scare them. The adult animals had already seen her, and as soon as they had, she stopped her movements and tried to be entirely still until they went back to eating the grass. It had become like a new game. In the beginning, the big animals had fled if she arrived too close or too fast, but she had quickly learned to take things slowly and wait them out.

As soon as they had looked at her, flicking with their long ears or gave away some disturbing snorting sounds, she stopped for a while and let them calm down. She didn't want to frighten them, not like she had scared the cat, these were some fascinating animals. Luna carefully crept forward one more step and felt her body hooking up for a second, hurting her joints. Maybe she's been on the cold ground for too long? But the cold did not matter for her anymore. She had begun to handle heat and cold in a completely different way than before. Luna let her gaze fall on the smallest creature in front of her, it was only a few meters between them now, and the young animal had seen her. Suddenly, the little creature began to take a cautious step towards her. It was the first step any of them had taken tower her! Luna held her ventilation and tried to make her entire system as quiet as possible. The little creature had taken the first step towards her and then another one. Luna could see how the big head was raised, and the hole that the animal pulled in air through was widened as it breathed her in. The eyes were full and dark brown as it looked her over and put down its head slightly as it gave away a new snorting sound. Luna stared at the creature and moved slightly so that she could sit up but stopped as the small one took a step back. She put her frame back on the ground once again.

The creature gave off a new noisy sound and threw its head back, the bright coat gleaming like gold in the descending sun that lay just on the horizon as it started to get late. Luna was now both quiet and still when the curious little creature again bravely began to move towards her. Luna could see that the adult creature in the back kept track of the smaller one's movements, but they did nothing to get in the way. Luna let her gaze fall on the smaller one again. As the small creature come closer, she could see how each breath got the little body to widen and then fall into it as air circulated in its ventilation system. Luna could feel the damp earthy smell coming in from the hot body, and now that she was so quiet here, she could even hear their muffled heartbeat.

She stared at the creature with a new sense of delight. This creature was so beautiful! How was it possible that there was something like this with the humans? What did them even do with this animal? Was this one a little kid? Was it like her? A child?. There were so many questions and so little answer to it all. Luna muttered silently for herself over the fact that her Sire had shut off her internet connection, she wanted to know more about this animal after all! Perhaps she could ask him later?. Luna looked at the small creature as it took another cautious step tower her, and then the young creature suddenly stretched its long, ragged neck towards her. Luna moved now slowly so that her palm was upward for the animal to sniff on. The creature shrugged lightly on the head as she moved bit it shook it off for a second Luna thought that they would run away from her. Patience, she had to take it easy so she would not scare the creature. Carefully, it lowered its head and gently scented her hand. The feeling of warm was tickling her sensor, and Luna giggling made the small creature jump back and runs back to its parents again. The ears clipped around on the head when listening for the sudden sound that had appeared.

Luna gently sat up and began to let the air circulate in her body, which had started to hurt again from her position. She had managed to ignore the feeling for a while, but it had begun to gather around her back structure. It itched and felt like something had crawled under her plating. Luna looked down at her arms and started to feel under the metal but did not find anything underneath it. Had something crawled in her cables? A sudden shock went through her, and she gasped in surprise. No, she recognizes the shocking feeling, but it could not be right, there was not the time for one of her attacks now. Her Carrier had said it would be some weeks before the next one, why now?. Fear gripped on her small spark as she raised and started to walk to the farm. Her distressed feelings had already alerted Ironhide that had begun to look for her

~Luna? what are you doing?~ What was the sparkling up to now? Ironhide started to walk tower the direction he knew she was in with long strikes.

~Sire, something is wrong~ Luna said in worry, and the fear started to crawl inside of her as she felt how her spark started to pulse hard in her chest. She could feel how it jumped a pulse and then started to beat faster. Her sensory net began to get to sensitive, she started to feel everything too much, the sound was so loud, the wind was too strong, and the ground started to become too hard for some reason she did not know.

~ I'm on my way, what happened sparkling?~ Ironhide voice cut through anything ells inside of her as she felt the pain again, this time directly in her spark chamber. The shook made her whole frame collapsed in pain as she cried out, scaring the animals around her so that they started to run away from her. The ground shook under their hooves, and she could feel every vibration as they had stomped on her.

~Sire, it hurts~ Luna whined as her frame started to feel the heat and pain all over it as the attack began. Luna could see the purple energy wires shoot out of her arms and digger in her warm plating. She screamed when the new intense pain went through her whole frame.

~Frag it, I'm coming Luna!~

The energy began to move more and moreover her small body; the grass beneath her began to blacken with the increasing heat. Luna's head felt so heavy, and everything was spinning around, making her tank feel like it was turned upside down, and it made the morning's energy come up as she purged its content. It left a sour taste in her mouth; a new wave of pain was over her within a second. Her frame started shaking and jerking in an uncontrollably way as the first attacks broke out. The energy drew her in and expanded it poured in beneath her and went straight through her processor and spark as it increased its intensities.

Her body bent up as a new shock went through her, and Luna gave away a painful scream when the energy buried itself in her protoform. It was starting to get too hot, her fans were roaring on the highest level, and it was too loud for her to even concentrate on them. She could feel how the ground shook underneath her, it was like she was floating, but at the same time sinking, nothing kept her in one place. She was high up in the clouds and then deep down below the ground, here was so loud sounds that her audio receptors began to overheat, but it's intense, and it hurt her processor. It was burned. Luna tried to online her optics, but they did not want to listen, the light dazzled her minds while the only thing she could see was a deep black at the same time. The pain pierced her again, and Luna screamed as she tried to get away, to get hold of something as the energy hurt her whole frame.

Suddenly, it was like a stone landed on her whole frame, and everything stopped. It felt like she was falling quickly to the ground, faster, faster, faster. She purged her tank again, and the rattling sound did not stop. Luna could feel a cooling breeze fan over her warm frame, settling it all down, the energy was still there, hurting her, licking her whole structure but it was no longer too much. The pain even got her entire body shaking uncontrollably, making that irritating rattling sound. At first, Luna could hear everything around her, and it was so loud, so enormously loud like everything was screaming directly in her audio receptors. The energy shot out of her and triggered the nanites in her body to expand unnaturally fast. It hurt, she could hear her body screaming in protest, groaning and complaining. But suddenly there was a loud humming sound that overpowered everything Elles, loud, steady and constant.

Luna quickly focused on that sound alone; it helped, grounded her. The pain ebbed out a bit, and she continued to listen to the intense humming, it was a familiar sound and one that she would recognize anywhere. The soft yet sharp sound of a spark that had created her. It grounded. Suddenly Luna could hear a dark vibrating voice speak to her, no words were heard, but she recognized the tone and the vibration created when he spoke. Luna could both hear and feel the words he spoke to her, but she had no strength or power to answer him when another attack spread through her already weak and tender body. She could feel the liquid in her eyes as it trickled down her chin and throat cables. It was her sire who was there; he held her close to his spark and rocked her back and forth. It felt nice. He enveloped her from all directions and kept her there while another attack went through her, and this time, her back got stretched out, and silent scream left her sore thought.

~I got you sparkling, it is alright, you are safe~

Luna could feel the voice as her sire cradled her closer to his chest, she heard and felt her carriers worrying over her as the spasms in her frame started to die out. Soon it would be over for this time, and the energy began to sip away from her. Luna started to feel how her whole frame and processor started to shut down on its own, and as soon as the last energy left her frame, she slipped into static.

Ironhide looked down at the white sparkling in his arms as he felt her movement calm down. The energy Luna emitted was still clinging to his frame, it had hurt him more than he had thought, but the worst of all was that Luna had felt this also. Never had one of her attacks turned out this way, never had it been so bad like it was now.

~Ratchet~ even his voice was shaken up, frag this whole situation, but he knows that his mate already felt what had happened without him saying anything.

~I don't know, is she okay? ~ Ratchet asked over the bond, he had felt that something was wrong, but because of the distance, he could not feel what.

~For now, but that was a bad one, and far too early. What if something changes?~ Why could it not be something that he could fight? Hit and destroy anything that even dared to lay a finger on his creation. Why had it been something that he could not do anything about? And now of all time! When she was of the island and away from Ratchets care.

~I don't know, can you scan her and send it to me?~ Even if Ratchet shared his mates feeling, but he would do anything he could to find a solution, even if he only could lessen the pain she felt under the attacks.

Ironhide did what the medic asked him to do and sent him the results of the scan as he hugged her closer to his chest plates and tried to calm down his fast-beating spark as fear still pulsed inside of him. He hated the feeling of fear inside of him, of course, he and had felt it several times before. But never with this intent, as it was when Luna was involved.

~Why do the Allspark do this to her? why is it harming her? ~ Ironhide growled low as he stroke his creations helmet slowly; she was still in statics lock. He felt so helpless when he could not do anything; he could not help his creation another way than staying by her side and holding her for now.

~I don't know, the scan doesn't tell me much new, her whole frame has grown, and so has her processor. And to why I have my suspecting and theories about it. But I don't know for surtain~ Ratchet told him

~tell me~ Ironhide exhales, even though Ratchet said so, it didn't help the uneasiness that gnawed inside.

~I believe that it the Allspark way to protect her, as she is now she is far too easy to get a hold of. ~Ratchet explained in a solemn voice

Ironhide was silence after his mate's word; he had a point. Whatever the Allspark did she was growing at a rapid pace and development that would take eons now only took months instead. But that also meant that they had to step up her training so that she was not an easy target. He had to make her capable of protecting herself if none of them were close to her or there to help her out. And how much Ironhide wished for it, they could not look her up on the island forever. But Primus be dammed he would do the best to keep her there as long as they could. If it was only for her protection, so be it.

The darkness had fallen around them, but Ironhide had no plans to move yet, he had already announced will if they were but no significant explanation. The world around them began to wake up with its nocturnal sounds. Lennox farm was a reasonable distance from civilization, and the nearest neighbor was several kilometers away. Small nocturnal animals began to move in the nearest bushes, and somewhere an owl hooted. Ironhide looked down at the sleeping figure in his arms and stroked her tenderly over her head again. Luna had become increasingly more white in colored and what had previously been in blue shades now was more stretched out and had almost entirely disappeared from her frame. Something that the youth often complained about. Sometimes he wonders if Luna loved her colors more than anything else.

The soft notice of her fans kicking up and the emotion over their creation bond warned him that she was online from the static. Luna started moving on her own, and more fans in her frame kicked on as she began to feel her whole frame come online. A low chirping sound was heard from her when she fully awoke from the static, and she opened her optics to the darkness that enveloped them. Blinking her optics and trying to find a focus point, she stared up at the dark figure that held her close to warm metal, and she could feel the vibration of his powerful spark. It was her Sire. Luna blinked her optics again before she gave him a small smile.

"Hey there little one" Ironhide smiled back as Luna blinked up at him and then gave away a low contented cooing sound, she was too tired to talk, and she turned so that her face was pressed against his warm chest. Her helm still felt very fuzzy, and she couldn't get all the programs online correctly, but it was nothing necessary for the moment.

"How do you feel?" Ironhide asked as he started to caress her over her back structure as he let his own back rested against a big tree that creaked slightly when his weight was inclined toward the trunk.

~tired ~ She mummer as her sire keep on poking her over the bond, and she tried to swat him away. She wanted to recharge. Luna cuddled closer to him and vented out when he stopped his poking; the recharging program was not far from being activated again.

"It will all be alright in the morning, recharge youngling," Ironhide told her humming as he let his digits circulate her shoulders. Ironhide continued to caress her back as he looked up at the stars that were shining down at them. The black mech let his helm rest against the tree trunk as he stared up at the stars and in the direction where Cybertron was, but there was no longer a light in the sky that was their home planet as the planet was dead. It was sad to think that is was completely gone now and without any way to restore it. But at the same time, they had found a proper planet, and all of them had started to feel like it had become more and more like their home and they would protect it with everything they got.
