DISCLIAMER: FOUND ON PREVIOUS CHAPTERS

THE LOST CHILDREN OF CYBERTRON

Chapter 21: Give a Little Love

As Alex walked away from the boys her mind was racing at the discoveries that she found on the strange Cybertronian that Goliath brought home. As she looked over her shoulder she spotted Barricade and Kekoa talking while Sam and Miles went home on Bumblebee.

She then shook her head as she watched her cousin talking to Barricade as she entered the base.

She walked down the long hallway into the medbay where Radon was waiting with Frenzy. She had not seen the smaller Decepticon all day due to the fact that he was busy recharging. Goliath was there also getting a systems check up and preparing for his and Rodan's long distance flight back to Hawaii.

"Hey guys!" Alex said as she walked in.

"Afternoon Alex!" they both replied

"Afternoon Alex!" Said Radon as she was repairing an area near the sparkcasing of the downed bot.

Reaching over Radon grabbed another clear cube and carefully put her hands into the sparkcasing and extracted the spark and place it into the cube.

"What are you doing Radon?" Alex asked

"I have to remove the spark for the casing is badly damaged," Radon replied as she placed the glowing blue ball of light into the clear cube and began to freely remove the spark casing.

"Slag!" she cursed as she removed it and only then did both she and Alex realized the extent of the damage to this Cybertronian.

"Goliath is really going to have to bring in supplies." Said Alex as she saw the broken sparkcasing.

"Well I asked grandma to send Artemis and Titan as well and Titan can bring some items with him as well," said Radon as she went further into the chest cavity and began to pull wires.

Alex climbed onto the table to examine the other smaller parts.

"Shit!" she cursed as she saw the extent of the damage and the minor repairs and makeshift repairs to the systems.

"Shit is right," said Frenzy as he poked his head from another part of the same bot.

"I did not see you there Frenzy," Alex replied

"Well Radon said she needed help so myself and the two cell phone demons helped," he said in a Frenzy-ish smile.

Just then two more smaller heads popped up from various parts of the bot. Skeeter and Scrappy both stuck their heads up. The two cell phones gave a sort of thumbs up and disappeared under the armor again to see what they could do about repairs.

Alex walked further in and climbed into the chest cavity where Radon was currently working on some inner workings.

"It is a good thing I got those spare wires," she said and handed Alex the hydrospanner an advanced tool as she began repairs to some of the motor functions.

At that moment Sonic and Stitch entered the hanger and from the looks of it they had some recharge in. "Ah good you can help us," said Alex.

"Hey Sonic give us some tunes will ya it is boring with all this quiet!" said Scrappy and Sonic gave a salute before transforming.

Stitch then placed Sonic on the table and he began to blast Bob Marley on the radio.

---MEANWHILE---

Titan swam around the ruins of the Nemesis as he searched for anything salvageable. After the crash Grandma Obun and Nanobite had sent him to investigate the crash site. Being the only underwater 'con he swam through the flooded hallways till at last he came to the medbay. The bodies of many dead mechs filled the ways and so began his operation. He began to gather parts that he knew might be needed on the mainland since Alex and Radon had asked for parts. He began to gather as much as he could on this trip before swimming towards the surface.

The salvage ship that he had borrowed worked like a charm as he unloaded the first of the many items. It took him nearly four trips into the depths before he had gotten everything and hauled the boat back towards Hawaii. As he made the trip he made sure that he was not noticed by anyone and so when he entered Moloka'i waters did the underwater hatch for the ship open for him to enter. He unloaded the ship and swam the parts into the base before returning the hauler back to Honolulu where he had stolen it from.

When he returned Obun greeted him with Artemis by his side. Titan bowed in respect for the older human woman.

"Goliath and Rodan will be home soon to gather the supplies you have salvage along with the ones from our medical bay. Artemis and yourself will be accompanying him back to the mainland for they could use all the help they could get," she said

"What about you grandma?" asked Titan as he kneeled down to her level.

"I will be fine Titan but right now something is happening that none of us know about and I want you all to be prepared." She said and Titan nodded.

"What do you think it is grandma?" asked Artemis

"I fear that something so terrible is coming that it will take all of you working together to stop it," she said

"But what about the Autobots and the Decepticons I am sure that they have the firepower to stop what ever it is that is coming?" said Artemis

"I fear young one that it is something that not even the two armies can conquer." Said Kamaka as he entered the control room.

"Then if this evil is supposed to be tough then how are we a bunch of kids suppose to stop it?" asked Titan.

"I do not know little one I don't know," replied Obun

---HITACHI RESIDENCE---

Goliath and Rodan made one more systems check before they were ready to fly back home. The runway had been cleared of debris as the two made their way to the runway. Being as Goliath was far too large for the runway they rigged the catapult that luckily Radon and Marie had installed for such an occasion. Goliath was ready for take off as he stood in his alternate form that of a space shuttle with the United States flag printed on one side with the logo for the Deceptibots near his cockpit.

Radon fell into place behind him as Goliath fired up his engines to full while Stitch and Zenith made the final preparations for takeoff. When that was done and the catapult launched Goliath rocketed down the runway and took off into the sky without hesitation. Rodan followed suit but being as he did not have to go on the catapult he just launched himself into the air.

As their forms disappeared into the clouds Radon watched from down below with her still tender boosters. Even though Alex fixed her by replacing her boosters she still warned the seeker not to fly until her boosters were no longer tender and so she was stuck on the ground again.

This bites! She thought as she watched her brother go for another flight. She sighed as she headed inside again to the medical bay. When she got there Kekoa pitched in to help Alex clear out some of the dead wiring from around the Mech's face.

"Damn it!" he cursed as he pulled out some wiring from the optic sensors.

"What?" asked Alex

"Someone did a number on this guy's optics I mean from the looks of it they were torn out." Kekoa said as he showed Alex the burnt wiring.

"Damn!" she cursed seeing the wires as Kekoa showed them to Alex up close.

They were totally burned and Alex had to shake her head. "This guy really needs a major overhaul on nearly everything!" she said and finished the list to send to grandmother.

"Stitch!" Alex called

"Yeah," the smaller Decepticon shouted as he leaped over the supposed dead bots chassis.

"I need you to send this to Nanobite it is a list of all the stuff we need to fix this guy up," Alex replied and Stitch nodded before transforming and Alex inserted the disk into him for broadcasting.

When Stitch was done sending the data to Nanobite he transformed back into his bot form. Then he leaped back onto the strange mech and walked over to the cube that held the spark.

"Um Alex is this guy's spark supposed to look like that?" he asked Alex and the girl looked up from where she was observing the optics when she gave a curse.

"Scrap!" she said and rushed over.

Sure enough the spark of the strange mech was fading. Cursing Alex ran and grabbed some equipment,

"Radon get me the emergency spark generator fast!" she yelled over her shoulder and the seeker ran for the equipment.

Stitch and Sonic went over to grab the monitor while Skeeter and Scrappy grabbed the emergency cables.

"What is going on in here?" Barricade asked as he entered the Medbay.

"We are losing him!" Alex shouted and they all poured energy into the spark as it began to fade.

"Oh God no!" said another Frenzy.

"We need to do something!" Someone else shouted but Radon's CPU was not listening.

Her mind was on the spark slowly fading until it was nothing but a dark orb of light. That light was a very dull blue of a mech.

"He is fading!" someone else shouted but Radon was not listening.

"Radon!" someone shouted but her mind was elsewhere

"Radon!" someone else shouted,

She could barely feel the hand on her shoulder as her CPU and her spark went out to the strange mech. It felt strange like a child reaching out to its parent. Without thinking she began to sing a song that Mrs. Pakele sang to her when she was a very young sparkling.

We got to give a little love,

Have a little hope

Make this world a little better oh ho….

Living in this crazy world

So caught up under confusion

Nothing is making sense

For me and you

---SOME OTHER WORLDLY EXISTANCE---

Starscream stared into the nothingness of the matrix's door. His mind was far gone as he stared at the figure before him. She was by far the most beautiful femme that he could ever lay his optics on.

She stood a little shorter then him her wings glowed a beautiful violet like that of the sunrise. The glow that she had around her surrounded his spark as she gazed into his optics with her cerulean ones. She wore the face of a majestic bird kind and gentle but noble. Her sleek body made her all the more beautiful.

She shown with an ethereal light like that of the two moons of Cybertron. His spark ached as he reached out one clawed hand to her. He could clearly see the Autobot insignia on her wings.

"Moonshadow," he whispered to his long lost mate.

"Starscream," she said back to him as she floated down to him.

They embraced each other in a long lost hug.

"Oh how I missed you Moonshadow," he said to her gently

"I know my beloved Starscream," she said gently

"I think I can finally join you now," he said softly to her.

"I think now is not the time my beloved angel," she said softly to him.

"Why?" he asked

"You have to fulfill a responsibility to Cybertron. You and only you can unite the Decepticons with the Autobots. Search out the Deceptibots they can help you. They are the only ones who can truly unite the two armies. For they are as one long before the two armies found them. It is they who saved you so do them a favor and live my love. For you will find my most precious gift among them, my last gift to you my beloved Starscream. Your destiny is to fulfill you true duty to the late Megatron. You are the only one who knew the truth about what had happened. Now is the time to deal with the truth." Starscream was at a loss for words.

His beloved was telling him to live for the sake of living. To find her most precious gift among these 'Deceptibots' he would do that for her he would find this gift amongst them. He had a sinking feeling that they did not know what it was either.

It was then that he heard a song among the windswept plain that eh was on. The bright light of oblivion was replaced by the grassy fields of Earth and the clear blue skies that the organic planet provided. There he looked and saw two forms approach him. One was red and covered in feathers like those avian creatures that the humans call birds. The other was covered in scales like a serpent in a translucent bluish green color.

Starscream had never seen anything like it before the two translucent forms floated around him. They circled him and when he looked at the wings he could make out the insignias. On the bird he could clearly see the Autobot Symbol etched there in a deeper red then the rest. The blue serpent-like creature is the one that truly intrigued him for he had not seen a creature like it before with its wide wings and long serpentine body. The Decepticon symbol showing on its wings as they continued to circle him. It was then that he heard the singing.

Radon was singing her heart out at the spark something that all the children and even Barricade and Frenzy had a hard time comprehending. As Radon came to the conclusion of her song they noticed that the spark began to pulse with a new light as it suddenly grew brighter. Sonic then transformed and began to play 'Give a Little Love,' by Ziggy Marley since that is the song that Radon was singing.

The spark gave a new life as it pulsed again and Radon's spark sang to it as it reached out to the spark in the case calling it back. Barricade and Frenzy at first did not comprehend but then a look of understanding came to them and it was Barricade that made the connection but did not voice it. He stored it way in his memory banks for later as Radon then came back online and turned slowly towards the others.

"Um did I do something wrong?" she asked confused

"No youngling you did not," Barricade said softly for the others.

"Now that the spark is stable we can finish repairs on the body." Alex said after sighing.

Unknown to them the spark gave a brief flash before it went dormant again into a gentle blue.
