(Couple months later)
Starscream was extraordinarily protective of his little and young family, especially now as he had just found out his sparkmate was once again pregnant, this time with twins. Bombshell was seldom if ever let out of any of the Autobot's mechs sight. While this bothered her somewhat, she realized that this was for her own protection. She certainly did not want to end up in the Decepticon brig again, as she shuddered as her processors tried to delete the awful memory. Little Screamer, Windbreaker, and Aquaformer were also closely watched by the rest of the Autobots, with Jetfire, Hotshot, and Red Alert doing most of the watching. Optimus helped out when he could, but he always had to monitor for Decepticon activity.
Bombshell was surprised when she realized her little seekerling Aquaformer could also turn into a cat just like she could, but Bombshell figured that Aquaformer had inherited from her mother. But as far as the twin little mechs went, they were definitely like their father, Starscream. And although the little mechs were a lot like their father, neither could explain Windbreaker's tendency to pull pranks as well as release foul odors when in sleep or when he was upset about what was going on. But both Bombshell and Starscream loved all their seekerlings, despite the little seekerlings quirks.
And it was during an evening walk that Starscream and Bombshell often took that fate crossed their paths again. For as the two came to their favorite spot to watch the sunset, an evil presence watched the two, unaware that another Autobot had followed the pair, as this Autobot had a feeling that this night was going to be different than the usual. But Starscream and his mate were aware of neither the evil presence nor the other Autobot presence.
Soon, though, Starscream, though he was enjoying watching the burning yellow orb sink into the distant horizon, felt something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on it. Bombshell, completely unaware of any presence other than her mates, was gently rubbing her metallic tail against Starscream's chassis, while using one of her hands to stroke his sensitive wings. Starscream knew that because Bombshell was pregnant that she was horny, but he was feeling far from frisky tonight. It had nothing to do with her, it had to do with that evil presence he could feel and sense that was nearby. Starscream, now that he had his sensors on high, recognized the evil presence. But without saying anything yet, he hugged his mate tighter, and was rewarded with a deep purr of satisfaction. Knowing that satisfying his mate pissed off the evil presence, Starscream began to return the favors that his mate was languidly bestowing upon him. Bombshell, thinking that he had finally warmed up, began the foreplay game, never realizing that the evil presence was watching them, and neither of them knew of the Autobot who had followed them.
The evil presence grew more pissed as the femme purred and mewed loudly under her sparkmates ministrations. He was seeing red as he too loved this spunky little femme, but this evil presence did not realize that the femme was with sparklings both born and unborn, but at this point that did not matter, as his seething rage took over and he headed toward the pair, who were just finishing their interfacing session. Bombshell had her optics closed, but Starscream's were open and were looking right at the evil presence, a smirk on his face. The evil presence could take it no longer, and Megatron came out and charged the seeker, unaware that the pair was not alone.
Starscream, seeing Megatron's approach left his mate's side, so that he could keep her safe. The Autobot who had been watching the pair continued to watch, until the Autobot saw Megatron approach the pair. Then this lone Autobot made his move. Jetfire, who had been watching the pair, quickly grabbed the sleeping Bombshell and dragged her to safety while Starscream, unaware that his mate was safely taken, approached his former commander. The hate and tension between the two was enough to scare off any bot worth his weight in metal. The air was so thick that it could not even be cut with a knife. The two former teammates squared off, each one assessing the other, hoping to find the weak spot and end the war.
The two bots circled each other, as Megatron spewed all his hatred for his former second in command. Megatron's optics were a fiery red, something the seeker had seen many a times when the seeker had pissed the leader off while under his command. Though, there was something even more sinister about the glare now that Starscream was no longer a Decepticon, but an Autobot. Starscream drew his wingblade, anticipating a fight. The two continued to circle each other.
Jetfire, afraid to give away his protected position, did nothing yet as he watched the two size each other up. Jetfire knew deep in his spark that this was only going to end one way, but who would be the victim and who would be the victor were as of yet undetermined. Jetfire wanted to wait until the two entered combat before calling for help from the other Autobots, to make sure that Bombshell stayed safe, as Jetfire, being Starscream's best friend, was the only other Autobot besides Red Alert and Ratchet that knew Bombshell was pregnant yet again. Jetfire could only watch as the battle of the titans began.
Starscream lashed out first, his glowing wingblade cutting right through Megatron's thick chassis. Megatron reeled in pain, but then came back, drawing the Star Saber that had disappeared from the Autobot base 1 month ago. Starscream was even more furious, as he knew it was his fault that the Star Saber had gone missing. Starscream ran toward Megatron, as Megatron drew out the Star Saber. Megatron stepped out of the seeker's way, and slashed the seeker right across his cockpit area, making Starscream start to leak precious energon.
But Starscream was not going to give up and Starscream quickly turned around and engaged in sword to sword combat with the deadly Decepticon leader. Megatron, fury raging in his bright optics, was doing his best to kill his former second in command. Starscream, being quicker, was able to avoid many of the deadly leader's charges, making the Decepticon leader even more furious as Megatron never realized just how deadly and quick the seeker could be, as Megatron rubbed his arm where he was leaking energon thanks to the seeker.
Meanwhile, Jetfire kept Bombshell's optics covered so that she would not see the taint of war. Jetfire knew well enough that Starscream would not want Bombshell to see the fight. Bombshell, scared of what was going on, buried her faceplate into Jetfire's chassis, as the sounds scared her as they reminded her of when she was in that cell and heard the sounds of the two titans fighting. Jetfire watched, hoping that Starscream would survive the fight, but Jetfire commed the Autobot base to come as Jetfire could see that Starscream was not doing well.
Meanwhile, Megatron was saving his energy, only attacking when the seeker came close enough. Starscream had caused many cuts on his former commander, but the worst cuts were on him as his spark was exposed now that there was a large gash right down the front of him. Starscream stumbled back, in too much pain and having lost too much energon to continue. Jetfire, noticing the problem, fired at Megatron before the Decepticon leader can end the seeker's life, but Starscream's fate was sealed.
Soon, out of seemingly nowhere, Hotshot and Optimus Prime arrived. And the two soundly defeated Megatron, who limped away via a warp gate. But, for Starscream, it was too little too late, as the Seeker lay on the ground, bleeding energon, spark fading. Now that the fight was over, Jetfire allowed Bombshell to see Starscream, broken and defeated. Bombshell ran to her mate's side, blue energon tears leaking from her dulled green optics. She knelt next to her mortally wounded sparkmate, and Starscream, as he lay dying, ran his hand gently along her faceplate.
"Bombshell…weep not for me. Take care of our seekerlings and the two yet to come. I will always be with you even if you don't see me. My spark will live on in you and in our sparklings. I go now, knowing that I died saving you. I love you now, I always have and I always will." said the dying seeker.
"I love you, too, Screamer" replied Bombshell, feeling the spark pulses between her and her mate for one last time.
And with that, Starscream offlined for the last time, the energon around his body showing the result of the fight, but Bombshell did not look at that. She looked skyward, tears in her optics, as her sparkmate's spark floated away to join the Matrix. And so, Starscream died in his sparkmate's arms, dying to save her and his family.
Jetfire, saddened by the whole turn of events, went to comfort the distraught Bombshell, carefully prying her away from the offlined body of her sparkmate. Bombshell, crushed about how things turned out, accepted the hug from Jetfire, and cried into his supportive chassis. Jetfire, feeling saddened at the loss of his friend, still was able to comfort Bombshell. Optimus, saddened by the loss, went up to Bombshell as well, offering comfort.
"I am sorry for your loss. He was a great warrior and a dedicated transformer, but you knew him as more as a loving sparkmate and a wonderful father. Please let us help you with anything you need during your time of grief" Optimus told Bombshell, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She was unable to say much, but nodded in reply, acknowledging Optimus's offer. Then Hotshot and Optimus Prime left Jetfire and Bombshell alone, as Optimus wanted to get back to plan a memorial for the seeker who had lost his life defending life.
(2 months later)
Starscream's memorial was held by the Autobots, and many of the Autobots spoke about all the good memories they had about the seeker, whether it was when he was a Decepticon or an Autobot. Starscream and Bomshell's little seekerlings Starscream Jr., Windbreaker, and Aquaformer were there, a constant reminder of just what a sacrifice the seeker had made. The memorial service was Beautiful. And even Optimus Prime honored Starscream.
"He lived a warrior, he died a hero. Let his spark join the matrix with the greatest of Cybertron."
But before the ceremony could end, Megatron made an unexpected arrival, though the leader looked like he had seen better days. Megatron, though glad to see the end of the traitor never thought that it would end like this, and so the decepticons came to honor a fallen comrade who had done so much for so many of them. And as Megatron was walking away, he noticed, out of the cormer of his optics, a little red, blue, and white seeker. Megatron studied the little one carefully, and soon found the little one was standing right next to Bombshell. It was then that Megatron realized why Starscream had fought the leader so hard to protect Bombshell, not only were they sparkmates, but they had sparklings to worry about.
After the memorial, Prime and Megatron met up, as they wanted to declare the war over. And so Starscream's sacrifice was not in vain, as he saved not only his family, but also the universe as Megatron and Optimus agreed to end the war.
(6 months later)
Peace reigned as the Autobots and Decepticons no longer fought. Yes, there were those who wanted to continue fighting, but they were charged with war crimes, as the war was over. Optimus and Megatron ruled the transformers with a united front. And all was good.
Bombshell finally had given birth to her twin seekerlings, both mechs. One was red and white, and named Firestorm and the other was blue and white and was named Snowball. Snowball and Firestorm joined their siblings Starscream jr., Windbreaker, and Aquaformer. Bombshell cried as she remembered her original mate, Starscream, who missed the birth of his last sparklings, but she could feel that he was happy that they were healthy. She could also tell that Starscream was happy that his mate had found a new wonderful mate to bond with, Jetfire. And out of all this tragedy, new life was beginning as Bombshell and Jetfire would soon learn that Bombshell was expecting yet again. And so life continues.
And far off somewhere, Starscream's spark watches, knowing that his sparkmate is happy once again, but makes Starscream makes his presence known in her spark especially when Bombshell is feeling like she can't go on. Starscream smiles as he watches, knowing he was finally able to save his family and be free.
