Title: The Day That Praxians Flew
Disclaimers: I do not own Transformers.
Warnings for anything and everything
Notes: I really stink at writting battles if I center on one person/bot. So, I gave fair warning. Had a bit of a writer's block on where to go from the last chapter. Part of me saying that it was a perfect spot to end, but most of me wanting to take it to where I planned before even considering putting the end on it. I will be adding another one of my Ocs, Flatline to the story. Flatline is the daughter of Ratchet and Wheeljack. She's a scientist, but often fills in as a medic for Ratchet. For those that haven't caught on yet, Prowl's trine have little nicknames for each other that they don't like others using. Prowl is Prowler, Smokescreen is Smokes or Smokey, and Bluestreak is Baby Blue. Oh, Starscream and his trine will be going back to their old names in this chapter. Starscream is Highwind. Thundercracker is Stormbreaker. And Skywarp is Warpdrive.
Summary: Prowl goes to look for Jazz and encounters a sparkwarming sight. The end of the war is fast approaching, but is Prowl strong enough to pull the trigger? Will he do what has been called for, or will he faulter, as Optimus did countless times?

Prowl's POV
I watch Bumblebee take Spike and Sparkplug home and check the time. Jazz should have returned by now...What was taking him? 'Streamline, has Jazz reported for the hourly check in yet?' I com Streamline. 'Not yet. He's overdo to report. Something must have happened.' She replies with a hint of worry. 'I will go look for him. Please alert Ratchet that he may be needed.' I respond. 'Ratchet is finally recharging. I will alert Flatline. Be safe, sir.' Streamline says. I transform and race away from the arc going faster than my usual speed. I try to remain calm, but my battle computer is coming up with worse and worse senarios of what I will find. Each one makes my spark twist in panic and fear. Prowler, what's wrong? Smokescreen says through the bond. Prowl? Are you ok? Bluestreak says almost at the same time. Jazz hasn't reported in...he went on patrol. If he's hurt...I am such a fool and an idiot! I reply, my panic starting to become apparent to my trinemates.
Prowl, he's fine. He probably just lost track of time while listening to some earth music. Smokey says. Yeah, you know how Jazz is. He's probably checking out some concert he drove by or something else involving music or earth culture. Bluestreak says sending comfort and love through the bond. You both make valid points...How could he have gotten into my spark so easily? I worry about everyone's safety, but jazz...it's like one of you are in danger. It doesn't make sense. I reply and receive amusement from smokey and Baby Blue. I'm glad my inner turmoil is amusing to you two. I grumble. You love him, Prowler. You only just realized how much. Perfectly normal for you. So caught up in the war and your work that you don't notice yourself fall helm over pedes. Smokey says. Yeah, why do you think we try to get you and Jazz together? We seen how you look at him when you think no one is looking. I have that look when I look at Streamline. Smokey has it when he's with Requiem. Baby Blue says.
I vent and keep driving the route Jazz would have taken. I think about what my trinemates have said thinking back. Several moments in the past come to mind. A lunch time conversation, an accidental brush of a servo, the glow of a smile...Primus...I did fall, and fall hard, didn't I? I then decide that I will corner Jazz after this mess is over, with him in stasis cuffs, if need be. I soon see color up ahead and I speed up. Human speed limits be slagged! I have enough pull to get away with it since I fear for Jazz's life. I slam on the brakes and transform, skidding to a stop a few feet in front of Jazz being hugged by Highwind and his trine. I vent in relief, making them all look at me. "Prowler?" Jazz asks confused. I storm over to him and hug him tight. "Never make me worry like that again, Jazz" I say trying not to start crying again. Highwind and his trine look at us amused. "Pay up, Stormbreaker! I told you so!" Warpdrive says bouncing on his pedes. Stormbreaker grumbles and hands over a couple cubes of high grade.
I pull away to see Jazz look at me confused. It is a little funny, but I'm not in the mood to laugh. "Prowl, what are ya doin out here?" Jazz asks blushing a little because I'm still holding onto him. "You missed the hourly check in. We thought something happened...well, I may have...kind of flipped out with worry. Everyone else thought you lost track of time.." I say and let him go feeling akward for hugging him like I did. Jazz chuckles. "Ah kind ah did. Been catching up with meh caretakers. They're coming home ta us, Prowl." Jazz says. I nod and look at them. "We'll have to remove your names from the wall then." I say and Highwind snorts. "This is going to go well...Jazz said that only the command staff and your trine know about what happened to us." He says. "Them and Skyfire. He was the one that brought it up after the last battle. How was things in the nemesis?" I ask, my fear and panic forgotten.
"Everyone is ready for this war to end. Megatron is only fighting out of princible now. Energon stores are at an all time low, and Megatron hoards the best for himself. Even Soundwave has had enough of this war and Megatron's insanity. The only one we did not dare to approach was Shockwave. Nothing will change his Proccessor. We did not feel it safe. Once Megatron is dealt with, Shockwave will be able to be convinced, but not until then. He's too loyal to Megatron to turn against him." Highwind says and I nod. "So, how da we get ya back as Autobots? Everybot is gonna wanna take pieces outta ya three before we even get close ta base." Jazz asks. I think a minute. Streamline, code Omega Colbalt. I com Streamline. Seriously, Prowl? They're coming home? Streamline replies. Indeed, alert Prime and activate base lockdown. I reply. Ok, if you say so, but you get to deal with my carrier. I'm hiding with the Dinobots. Streamline answers back.
I smile a bit. "Prowler? Everything ok?" Jazz asks a little uneasy. I nod. "Do you remember asking me what Code Omega Colbalt was, Jazz?" I ask. Jazz looks at me confused until he remembers. "Yeah, ya said it wasn't important and not ta worry about it. Why?" Jazz asks. I chuckle. "Omega Colbalt is a security measure I made some time back for this moment. Right about now, Everyone has been evacuated from the arc except Streamline, who is hiding with the Dinobots. The base is locked down with everyone's weapons inside except for those that never leave without them like Ironhide and Cliffjumper." I explain. Jazz's visor blinks on and off before he starts laughing. "Ah knew ya had ah sense of humor somewhere, Prowler!" Jazz says laughing. I shake my helm. "We should head back before they try to tear the base apart to get in." I say and transform. Jazz and Highwind's trine follow suit and we head back.
We soon reach the base. Everyone is yelling about one thing or another to Optimus and the rest of the command staff. Red Alert is out cold on the ground. Apparently, Ratchet or Flatline sedated him. Optimus comes over as we arrive and transform. "Prowl, the base in lockdown. Care to explain? Streamline said it was your order before hiding in the base somewhere." He says eyeing Highwind and his trine. "I simply didn't want Autobots shooting Highwind and his trine when we arrived. The final battle is set." I say and he nods.
Time Skip two hours
It took two hours to explain everything reguarding Highwind and his trine along with the truth behind the attack on Praxis. Ratchet, in his full fury, dragged Highwind's trine and mine into the medbay. Once there, it's a barrage of scans and ranting. I see Jazz smirking from near the door of the medbay, not willing to incur the wrath of the recharge deprived medic. Wheeljack is in a much better mood than his mate, being excited that he's getting to recreate something that was once lost. "Now, Highwind, get your trine and get your colors changed back to normal. I don't want bots accidently shooting your afts. Prowl, you and your trine will be placed in stasis for the next few days. No, arguing! I am not in the slagging mood." Ratchet says and we nod. Smokescreen, Bluestreak, and myself each pick a berth and lay down. "Jazz, go get some energon and recharge. You had the whole base worried" Ratchet says and Jazz runs out. Then, I fall into stasis.
Jazz's POV
Ah quickly leave the medbay and catch up ta Highwind and his Trine. "So, You and Prowl?" Highwind asks with a small smile. I nod. "Ah didn't know if he'd ever get his helm outta his tailpipe and realise how ah felt about him. If ah knew disappearing for ah bit would get him moving, ah would have done it sooner...Da ya...approve?" I ask looking at him. Highwind vents. "It is no longer my place to tell you how to lead your life. However, as your friend, I do believe you could have done much worse than Prowl. He will treat you well." Highwind says and ah nod. "However, I do recommed that you tell him about your past. you have seen how hiding it affected Prowl." he says. "Ah'm glad ya are all still alive...It hit meh pretty bad after Vos." Ah say and Highwind nods. "I would have tried to send you a message, but soundwave wasn't on our side at the time and we couldn't risk it." Highwind says and Ah nod.
"Ah know how it is. Ah am da head of Special ops after all." Ah say and Highwind nods as we enter the rec room. Everybot looks at us ah moment and then everything goes back ta normal. "That was anti-dramatic" Stormbreaker says behind meh. I chuckle. "Prime said anyone that tries ta harm yeah will be going ta drag Streamline out of da Dinobot's den. Da Dinobots have a soft spot for da femme and won't let anyone near her if she wants ta be left alone." Ah explain and he nods. We get our energon and sit down, Highwind and his trine choosing low backed chairs so not to hurt their wings. Ah smile seeing Skyfire come over. Highwind and Skyfire look at each other for a few moments.
"You look well, Skyfire." Highwind says looking up to skyfire. "As do you, star." Skyfire says. "I go by my original name now, Skyfire" Highwind says. "I know. Old habits die hard. I only knew you as Starscream. If it is alright with your trine and yourself, I would like to get to know the real you, star...you will always be a star to me." Skyfire says. Highwind nods. "I would like that, Sky." He says with a small smile. Ah smile big. "Dat's great ya guys! Ya have meh support." Ah say and lift my cube. "Ta old friends and new loves" Ah say and they smile lifting their cubes before taking a drink. "So, why was Ratchet scanning ya trine so much?" Ah ask Highwind. He smiles. "That, dear Ricochet, is a surprise." Highwind says with a glint of laughter in his optics. Ah grumble. "Ah thought ah told ya not ta call meh that anymore." Ah say.
"now you know how Prowl feels when you call him Prowler" Warpdrive says with a chuckle. Ah vent and Warpdrive goes over ta where sunny and sides are playing video games. We watch him for a few minutes before the twins smile and make room for Warpdrive ta sit. Sunny hands over his controller and leans back ta watch Warpdrive and Sides race on da video game. Ah chuckle. "Always thought warp was still ah big youngling." Ah say. "He is only a vorn or two older than you, Jazz." Stormbreaker says and takes a drink of his energon.
To be continued...

Notes: Yay! lol I think this Story is almost played out. What is Ratchet doing with Prowl and his trine? Only Highwind knows and he's not telling
