Starscream laid outside under the stars where he and Alexis used to watch them go by. There he placed his young son on him and together they watch the shooting stars fly by. Sunraiser had gotten over his fears of the decepticons and now called Starscream daddy. Starscream loved his son ever more now as he knew that Sunraiser loved him too.
"You see that Sunraiser," smiled Starscream. "Look at all those shooting stars fly by like ancient ships."
"I see them daddy," smiled Sunraiser.
Starscream then let out a sad smile as his ruby optics gazed at the night sky. He then said-
"You know . . . I used to take your mother to this very spot and gaze at the stars . . . hm, even though we wouldn't gaze at the stars for very long."
He then let out a small chuckle. Sunraiser then came close to his father's face and Starscream then looked at Sunraiser's shimmering green optics that would shine teal like his mothers.
"You know . . . you have your mother's eyes," smiled Starscream remembering her soft, loving eyes staring at him.
"What was she like daddy?" he asked as he laid his head down on Starscream's neck.
Starscream remembered her and then said-
"She was . . . very beautiful . . . even though she was an alien I still loved her like she was one of us. She was very soft and loving . . . well at times. She would wait for me those nights when we saw each other. I remember one time I had come to her when it was near Sun up, and do you know what that day was Sunraiser?"
"What daddy?" smiled Sunraiser as he picked his head up to look into his father's optics.
"That was the day when she told me she was going to have you," smiled Starscream looking at his small son.
Sunraiser didn't say anything for a while, but then he looked up at the stars and asked-
"Daddy . . . did you and mommy want me?"
Starscream then sat up and held his son before him and said-
"Now what kind of a question is that? Of course we wanted you . . . we just weren't expecting you that's all."
"Do you love me?" asked Sunraiser gazing at Starscream with large cute optics.
"With all my spark, son," smiled Starscream as he took his son in his arms and stood up to walk around.
Starscream had walked around for a while when he came to a large tree that was even bigger than him. Sunraiser gazed at the tree in awe.
"That's a big tree daddy," he said.
"Yes it is isn't it?" smiled Starscream kissing his young child upon the head.
Sunraiser then saw and odd shaped stone at the bottom of the tree. Starscream then placed his son down and then Sunraiser asked-
"Daddy, what is that stone there for?"
"That is where I buried your mother Sunraiser," said Starscream with very sad optics. "I thought I'd never see this place again."
Sunraiser then noticed something on top the stone and found that it was a pendant of some sort. He picked it up and found that it missed a green stone that was once in it. He turned to Starscream and gave it to him asking-
"What's this?"
Starscream gazed at the pendant for a while as he remembered Alexis wearing it upon her smooth neck. It was the only thing that reminded her of him . . . till Sunraiser of course. Starscream then looked at his son and said-
"This was your mother's. She made it out of a rock I gave her when she was a child."
"So it's special huh?" said Sunraiser taking the pendant in his hands once again.
"Yes . . . yes it is," smiled Starscream.
Then Sunraiser did something that nearly made Starscream burst in tears. He came before Alexis' grave and there whispered to it saying-
"Me and daddy miss you mommy."
He then turned to Starscream and ran into his arms saying-
"Mommy says she misses us too."
"She-she does?" said Starscream trying to tough a smile out.
Sunraiser just shook his head and said-
"Uh-huh, she told me so."
Starscream then embraced his son in a tight hug and looked down on him and said-
"Would you like to see your mother?"
"How?" asked Sunraiser.
"Through my memories," said Starscream.
And so Starscream showed some of his memories in a seen hologram so that his son, Sunraiser, could see his mother.
SEEN MEMORY HOLOGRAM
"Ha, ha, Starscream stop it. You'll make him kick harder," smiled Alexis as she tried to get away from Starscream.
Starscream then grabbed her in a tight embrace and smiled and said-
"Tell him I can't stop. You're irresistible."
He then kissed her neck and this make her giggle and squeal. Starscream then smirked and said-
"Oh stop being so sensitive to me. I know you enjoy this."
"It's not me," she said breaking out in a loud laugh. "It's the baby!"
"Oh really?" smirked Starscream.
Starscream then placed both his hands on her belly and felt his child move around in her. Alexis then calmed down as Starscream felt her belly.
"I can't wait till he's born," smiled Starscream kissing her softly on the head.
Alexis then turned to Starscream and wrapped her arms around his neck and then smiled and said-
"Or she."
"Fine," gave Starscream as he smiled at her. "Or she."
They then shared a long kiss together.
END SEEN MEMORY HOLOGRAM
"Wow," gasped Sunraiser as Starscream came and picked him up. "Was that my mommy?"
"Yes she was," smiled Starscream as he walked over to an abandoned house.
"Where are we daddy?" asked Sunraiser as Starscream entered the empty house.
"This," he said entering the house. "Is where you were born, and where me and your mother spent most of our time together."
Again Sunraiser was in awe. He had never seen this place before in his life, but he remembered this place from his dreams. He, also, remembered his mother from his dreams. She would gently hold him with a very soft touch.
Starscream let Sunraiser run around the house and examine it. He smiled at seeing his son so happy. He wanted the best for him and he knew he could never have the best for him as long as Megatron ruled the deceptiocns. He knew that when Sunraiser was old enough Megatron would leave him out in the wilderness to fend for himself, and Starscream would rather die then see his father harm his son both physically and mentally.
I must never let Megatron touch him, thought Starscream as he watched his son joyfully look around the house were he was born. I must over throw his rule . . . but by doing that I'll need a decepticon army greater than anything on cybertron . . . but how will I get such an army?
He then looked at his son run up to him and say-
"Daddy, when can we come back here?"
"After we find the rest of the planet keys okay?" smiled Starscream rubbing his young son's head.
"Okay," smiled Sunraiser with a wide childish smile.
I will find a way, thought Starscream again. Not for me, but . . . for him.
They fought hard togther, Optimus and Leobreaker. Their combined forces brought the jungle planet's leader, Scourge to his knees.
"You win," sighed Scourge. "And to prove it take the planet cyber key."
"Thank-you Scourge," said Optimus. "You acted like a true honorable warrior."
"And you Optimus Prime," bowed Scourge.
Megatron did not like this. He did not like how Scorge just gave it freely away, but there was nothing he could do. The Autobots left and Leobreaker got the honors in putting the jungle planet key in the omega lock. Now they found that another key lay hidden on earth.
They had also found that there were two transformers named Smokscreen and Evac who had been the protectors of the humans from the decepticons that had made it to earth. They had befriended both of them, but the decepticons that Smokescreen had kept hidden Starscream had found and awaken them.
"Awake for your master!" he said as they all began to awaken.
Sunraiser did not like the dark figures that arose from the pods and so cowerd behind his father.
"Daddy I don't like it here," he whimpered.
Starscream then picked up his frightened son and smiled and said-
"Do not worry Sunraiser. They will not harm you as long as I control them."
But Sunraiser was still afraid. The autobots had come in to see the decepticons awaken, but they were too late to stop anything. Landmine had seen Sunraiser and so called out to him-
"Sunraiser!!"
Sunraiser knew that voice so he turned to see his beloved uncle Landmine.
"Uncle Landmine!!" he smiled.
Starscream then turned and, at that moment, shot at them. He then flew away and the decepticons followed.
"NO!" cried Landmine gazing up. "He got away again!"
Sunraiser just watched as uncle Landmine vanished in the distance. He wished he could be with him again. He then turned to face Starscream and asked him a simple question-
"Daddy, why can't I see uncle Landmine?"
"Because he's a bad bot," said Starscream keeping his gaze on the sky.
"I don't think so," said Sunraiser.
"Well it doesn't matter what you think. You're just a child and don't know anything," said Starscream his voice a little higher than normal.
Sunraiser didn't say anything for a while, but then he said-
"Well I know that I love you."
Starscream had then realized he had just raised his voice to his only child. He had not thought about it, but what if he had hurt his child's feelings. He then stopped in mid air and looked at his son and said-
"Sunraiser, I'm sorry for getting mad at you, but I really need to concentrate on getting rid of your grandfather."
"Why?" asked Sunraiser. "What did he ever do to you?"
"He gave life to me," whispered Starscream as he flew off again.
Starscream had betrayed Megatron and taken control of all the decepticon army. Only a few lay loyal to Megatron now. The decepticons were everywhere all over earth and it was up to the autobots to find them all and make sure they didn't mess with the humans. Some of the decepticons were more dangerous than another and one of the decepticons was very . . . deceptive.
Jetfire flew over the ocean when he spotted a small ship with a rocket pack on it.
"Well that ain't right," he said to himself. "Better go in for a better look."
The small decepticon drove over the ocean when something blocked her sun.
"Hey, who blocked my sun?!" she shouted in a rude tone of voice.
"You must be one of those monste's Starscream released," said Jetfire looking at her.
"Monster?!" she growled as she pointed her rockets at him. "I'll show you who's the monster!!"
"No wait!" started Jetfire. "I didn't mean it!"
But it was too late she shot him down and he landed in the water. He transformed and watched her dive away over the ocean.
"She really is a monste'," he sighed.
He then looked closely at her, he recongized her, and then said-
"Wait a minute . . . Thunderblast?!"
She had stopped as she heard that name. She then turned and transformed and jumped on a large rock that stuck out of the ocean. When Jetfire had taken off in the air again she saw him clearly and said-
"Jetfire?"
"What are you doing here?!!" he shouted in anger. "I guess cybertron wasn't good enough for ya."
"Well I was a girl who wanted to travel," she said placeing her arms on her hips. "Oh, and by the way how's Jetty doing?"
"His NAME is JETSTREAM!!" shouted Jetfire. "You should now YOU'RE his MOTHER!"
"Yea, and I can call him Jetty if I want to!" she snipped. "If I AM his mother after all."
"Oh, you're his mother alright," sighed Jetfire. "YOU made sure of that, and why did you leave us when he was born? Why didn't you just stick around and be a good mother and wife? After all YOU were the one who married me!"
"Well . . . that was just cause my girlfriends dared me to . . . and besides," she grinned devilishly. "They said autobots were good in . . ."
"Alright, Alright!!" said Jetfire stopping her. "Well anyways I'm, kind of, glad you're here. I want you to sign the divorce papers."
"What, now?!" she said. "Oh Jetfire, you have got to be kinding me!"
She then let out a little laugh, but saw that Jetfire was, strangly, serious.
"You're serious aren't you?" she said straightening.
Jetfire just stiffly shook his head. He then showed her the papers.
"There you have Thunderblast. Sign the papers so I can FINALLY be FREE!" he said.
She took the papers and looked them through. She then let out a cuple of giggles and said-
"Wow, you signed this 3,000 years ago! . . . hey isn't that the day . . ."
"Jetstream was born and you left us," shook Jetfire as he crossed his arms. "I tried to find you, but here you are now so . . . SIGN THE PAPERS!!!"
"No," she said tossing them away. "You're not the boss of me."
"The papers!!" cried Jetfire trying to recover them, but they were lost to the sea. "OOOHHH, THUNDERBLAST!!"
He then charged her, but she held her ground. He stopped right in front of her ready to knock her into the next galaxy. She just smiled at him and said-
"I love it when you get angry, and that new accent of yours if very . . .manly"
She then began to scare Jetfire so he slowly began to back up.
"What, you don't want to play decepticon and autobot again?" she grinned. "As I recall that's how Jetstream came to be. Do you remember playing that, hm Jetfire? As a matter of fact do you remember when we first met?"
"Not really," corrected Jetfire. "As I recall I was a little OUT-OF-IT!!"
FLASHBACK
Jetfire was at the Maccadams bar one night and he had been there for a very long time. The night was still young though and the drinks kept coming. He played games and drank drinks till he could barely tell one bot from the other. The bar that he was at was very close to the decepticon border so many tough, or crazy autobots went there.
Well when Jetfire was there some decepticon femmes came in and chased every one off except one drunk autobot by the name of Jetfire.
"Oh Thunderblast look," said one of her friends. "An autobot's still here."
"Oh really," Thunderblast said as she turned to look at him.
All six of them came and surrounded the drunk Jetfire. They then pointed their guns at him and threatened him to leave.
"Hey, beat it auto!!" they shouted.
"Oh, I'm so scared," he played as his drunkeness showed.
They looked at each other as they saw him make a fool out of himself. They then smiled as they knew they could have some fun with this one.
"Leave it to me girls," Thunderblast smiled as she came to the tall autobot. "Hey . . . buy me and my girls some drinks."
"Bartender!" he shouted pointing the other way. "Get these pretty ladies some drinks!"
They got their drinks and they made sure he stayed drunk. Thunderblast was with him most of the time, but when she wasn't she talked to her girlfriends.
"I don't know . . . he's kind of cute," smiled Thunderblast as she watched him jump off a table and crash into some chairs.
"Yea, well he lacks brains," said another girlfriend of hers. "Hey, kind of like you. Why don't you marry him?"
Thunderblast gasped in disgust, but later looked back at the kind of cute Jetfire and said-
"Well . . . maybe."
"Hey I hear autobots are good in . . ." started one of her girlfriends, but was cut off by Jetfire blurting out FIRE! out of randomness.
"Really?" smiled Thunderblast smiling devilishly. "They also say it depends how good a kisser they are."
She then turned and came to Jetfire and commanded him to open his faceplate. He did and just as he did she kissed him full on the lips. The kiss was long and a bit slopish 'cause of Jetfire, but no less it was good. Thunderblast then ended the kiss and let Jetfire fall to the ground almost unconcious.
"Yea, he's good," she smiled.
"Well go ahead," they smiled edging her on. "I dare ya!"
"How much you willing to bet he says 'I do'?" smiled Thunderblast.
"1,000," they smiled.
"Deal," said Thunderblast shaking her preppy hips. "But 2,000 if I get pregnant."
And so they went next door to a small chaple where they were instantly married and the very next day when Jetfire woke up he woke up with a spliting headache.
"Oh, my motherboard. I must of had too much to drink," he said siting up.
Then something happened that he didn't exspect. A femme came in like she owned the place and he saw her sign . . . she was a decepticon.
"Well guess what huney," she said walking in. "I'm pregnant and those friends of mine owe me 2,000 big ones!"
"What?!" said Jetfire confused.
He then got up and said-
"Look I don't know what you're talking about but . . ."
"Well of course you probably don't remember. After all you were drunk beyond belief. You and me are married REMEMBER?"
"No," said Jetfire not remembering. "NO!!"
He then tired to get her out of his house by pointing his gun at her.
"Oh, are we gonna play decepticon and autobot again? okay," she said as she took her blaster out and shot him in the thigh.
"AHH, what's wrong with you?!!" he cried falling down.
"Whoops, I might have aimed a little too high," she smiled.
"Ya think?!!" cried Jetfire.
"Well anyways," she said coming to him and nearly crawling all over him, but she then stopped and said. "Oh wait I can't I'm pregnant."
"WHAT?!!" he shouted. "With my child?!!"
"Oh yea, it's yours," said Thunderblast.
And so after finding out what had happened that last night. Jetfire had no choice but to stay with her till the baby was born. Thunderblast had wanted a daughter and so she bought all girly things, but Jetfire tried to warn her it might be a boy. She didn't care though.
When she gave birth to her son Jetstream, as the doctors turned to see how she was, she had vanished and was seen no more.
END FLASHBACK
"Yea, poor Jetstream wore mostly girl clothes cause of you," mumbled Jetfire as he crossed his arms.
"So I take it you won't have me back right?" said Thunderblast rocking a bit.
"Uh . . . NO!!" said Jetfire plainly.
"FINE!" she said as she transformed and drove off.
"Wait Thunderblast you still haven't signed . . . the . . . papers," sighed Jetfire seeing she was gone.
He knew he'd see her again, but it would be all too soon.
As Starscream flew to the volcano where he hid out someone watched him. Someone who always loved deceiving people. Someone who, mysteriously, surived the destruction of Unicron. Someone by the name of Sideways.
He knew Starscream would be easy to control, for he knew his greatest weakness . . . his son.
Starscream had put Sunraiser down and then came to see how to get the power of the omega lock, which he stole, to work. Sunraiser didn't much like living in that inferno, but he was just glad to be near his dad. At times he would entertain himself by throwing rocks into the molten lava, but at other times he would just sit on the edge next to the lava and kick at it. He would get very bored easily.
He gave out a loud sigh and looked over at his dad who was either looking at how to figure out the omega lock or he would be advising his new army on what and where to go.
"Just make sure Megatron and his men don't come anywhere near this place . . . or the autobots," said Starscream as his men left.
"Yes sir," they bowed as they left.
Sunraiser just gave out another bored, loud sigh and then got up and walked around. He didn't go far just far enough where a couple of rocks blocked him from the sight of his father. There he decided to climb the rocks, but as he got to the top of one he met a transformer he hadn't seen before.
"Oh hello, are you new here?" Sunraiser asked.
"Not exactly," smiled Sideways as he knelt down to the small child. "I'm Sideways, what's your name?"
"I'm Sunraiser," smiled Sunraiser. "My daddy's just over there if you want to talk to him."
"Actually, I want to talk to you," said Sideways. "It's kind of stuffy in here do you want to go outside for a while?"
"Well I don't know," said Sunraiser his mood dampening. "My daddy doesn't like it when I leave without him."
"Well what daddy doesn't know won't hurt him," smiled Sideways evily.
Starscream was done telling his men what to do and so he decided to check up on his son. He walked over to where he last saw him, but found he wasn't there.
"Sunraiser, Sunraiser?" he said looking for him, but he was nowhere to be found. "SUNRAISER?!!!"
He then jumped into the air and came out of the volcano and searched for him.
"SUNRAISER, SUNRAISER WERE ARE YOU?!!!!!" he cried out for his lost son.
He then looked and saw from a distance his son, and he was with another transformer.
"Sunraiser!!" he called as he flew to him.
"Daddy!" smiled Sunraiser as he saw his father approach them.
Starscream drew his blades and readied to fight back his child from the jet transformer that stood by his son. The jet transformer let out a little chuckle and said-
"It's been long Starscream."
"Who are you?!" growled Starscream with his defenses still raised.
"Why, don't you remember me Starscream?" smiled the bot. "It's me . . . Sideways."
"WHAT?!" shouted Starscream remembering him from the Unicron battles. "I thought you were . . ."
"Dead?" finished Sideways. "Well I was, but decided to come back to life to check up on my favorite decepticons and autobots."
"That is not your true nature," growled Starscream. "Now why did you take my son from me?!"
"Just showing you how easy it is for him to get taken," said Sideways giving Sunraiser back. "Your secruity stinks around your son . . . anyone could come in and take him with out you knowing . . . just like I did."
"Just what are you implying Sideways?" asked Starscream holding his son close to him.
"That your father, if he wanted to, could take that child of yours just like that right under your nose," he said. "If I were you I'd have my men all over this planet to make sure Megatron his nowhere near this planet, or your son."
Starscream thought for a moment about this then he looked at his innocent child who starred at him with soft green optics. He then looked at Sideways who he knew lied through his teeth all the time, but this time he knew that Sideways spoke the truth. He never wants Megatron to come anywhere near them, but if what Sideways said is true then he wouldn't know it if Megatron did decided to take his child. He then straightened and gazed hard at Sidways and said-
"Get away from us, and never come back."
Starscream then turned and left but Sideways knew that Starscream was going to set his decepticons throughout the world and make sure no autobots or decepticons stepped foot on the planet.
The autobots watched as Starscream ordered his army to invade the earth and cause war on the humans. They had to stop this and so decided to fight with Starscream so he would stop, but he would never stop. The humans had mistaken the autobots for the evil ones as well and so hit them both. Hot Shot had almost hit one of the humans, but Optimus had told them, at all costs, not to hit the humans.
As the autobots fought with Starscream and his army Landmine had found Sunraiser.
"Sunraiser?!" he said as he came and took him in his arms.
Sunraiser was caught offguard as a transformer came up behind him and embraced him in a tight embrace. When he turned to see who it was he saw the familiar face of his uncle Landmine.
"Uncle Landmine!!!" he grined from audio receiver to audio receiver. "I thought I'd never see you again!"
"Well here I am kid," smiled Landmine as he kissed the child's head. "And I ain't eve' gonna let Starscream take you again."
"But he's my daddy," said Sunraiser gazing into Landmine's optics.
"I know that Sunraise' , but he ain't all in his right mind ever since he killed your moth . . ." he paused as he knew that Sunraiser now knew who his mother was.
"He what?" asked Sunraiser beginning to shake.
for a 20 year old Sunraiser was smarter than any normal sparkling. He was pretty much like a 7,000 year old at times, but at other times he acted like a normal 2,000 year old.
"But he said that she just die," said Sunraiser, his optics tearing up.
"Sunraiser look," sighed Landmine, but then there came a familiar voice that rang over the battling.
Starscream was too busy fighting with two autobots at a time to notice that Megatron and his decepticons had come. Optimus saw him, but Megatron was not fighting like normal. He just looked around at all the chaos. He wondered how Starscream could control such an army.
Megatron looked around and then saw who Landmine had.
"Sunraiser," he whispered as he came to the unbeknowest Landmine.
Optimus saw this and tried to warn him, but Starscream attacked him and he couldn't.
"Grandfather?" said Sunraiser looking behind Landmine.
"Grandfather?" said Landmine confused as he turned around to see Megatron standing before him.
Megatron then took a fist to Landmine's mouth and tossed him off the decepticon blimp. Sunraiser had fallen out of his grasp and so fell into Megatron's.
"LANDMINE!!!" Sunraiser cried as he watched his beloved uncle Landmine fall to the ground.
"Good ridence," spat Megatron gazing off the blimp.
Landmine was then caught by Jetfire who was nearly attacked by more decepticons.
"Primus Landmine, what'd ya eat?!!" gasped Jetfire trying to lift him up.
"Just don't let go Jets!" said Landmine gazing down at the long drop.
Megatron gazed at his grandchild now in his grasp and grinned.
"Grandfather, I want down," said Sunraiser getting scared.
"Hm, hm . . . no," smiled Megatron.
Optimus had hit Starscream hard and made him slide back on his back. When he was about to get up he turned and saw Megatron holding HIS son. His fears had come to life. Megatron would take his baby away from him.
"NO!" he gasped seeing this. "SUNRAISER!!!!"
Megatron looked at Starscream with a great frown. He then said-
"If you won't serve me then, perhaps, he will."
Megatron then retreated with his men and left the autobots to battle Starscream and his army alone. Starscream then got up in anger and then cried out-
"RETREAT!!!"
He and his army then left and the autobots went back to their base hoping the humans would forget trying to find them, but they would never forget the transformers and would, now, never give up looking for the aliens. Starscream had went back to the volcano and there wallowed in pity.
"HE STOLE HIM FROM ME!!!" he cried stricking the ground. "HE WILL PAY!!"
Sideways heard his mad cries and knew everything was going according to plan.
"Now to check up on Unicron," he grinned as he flew off.
Hot Shot's girl: Well I don't know about you but if you listen to the song girlfriend by Avril you'll find out how much it reminds me of Thunderblast. So that is my inspiration song for her and all :) Next chapter should come soon.
