Chapter 2: Family reunion
Autobot base: Control room
"He'll soon be here." Says Ratchet.
"He can take all his time; I really don't want to see him." Grunts Starscream.
"Sire...I want to see him." Says Starlight.
"I know but...I'll never forgive him for what he says." Says Starscream.
"He's here." Says Ratchet.
"Great, more autobots." Says Fowler.
They ship land at the top of the base with a cloaking device on and Ratchet receive the demand to come in the ship. Ratchet accepts and goes to the top.
"Why doesn't he want to come here?" Says Cliffjumper.
"It's because I'm here." Says Starscream.
"I really want to see him. I want to fight him. If he's so powerful, I can progress by training with him." Says Blackswords.
"I'm sorry Starlight...Maybe you can rejoin Ratchet." Says Tear.
"Yeah." Says Starlight.
"We'll come with you if Ratchet says it's ok." Says Blackswords.
"-Optimus-" Says Ratchet.
"Yes Ratchet?" Asks Optimus.
"-The patient just has the x-75 virus. Nothing grave. He should heal in no time without treatment and won't infect anybot. Also...he's coming down there with Starsaber. No one else is there.-" Says Ratchet.
"Understood." Says Optimus.
The door opens and Ratchet comes here with Starsaber and...Starscream gasp by surprise: Stardust...his Sire.
"Welcome Starsaber." Says Optimus.
"Hello." Says Starsaber. He tries to ignore Starscream.
"...Starscream...It's really you." Says Stardust without joy or anger. He was a little different from Starscream memory. He was still a red massif seekers but some part of his body is cover with dust. His head was more of a square. He has some...femme legs like him. But his claw wasn't sharp like him. He always moves with a cane but...He really uses the cane to keep him on his pede this time. How much do you change? Wonder Starscream.
Stardust didn't really physically change put it was more his aura that was different. He passes from a dominant aura to a more...depress and hopeless aura.
"...Sire." Says Starscream.
"..." Stardust looks at him but stay silent.
The entire resident of the base are silent by the cold atmosphere that suddenly appear in the base.
"Sire..." Says Starlight He also touch Starscream wings to grab his attention. Starlight doesn't stand this atmosphere, not after he just returns.
Stardust sees Starlight saying Sire to his sparkling.
"You...have a sparkling and you never tell me anything about him." Says Stardust. He was visibly saddened by his discovery. "I...never knew I was a GrandSire"
"Starsaber didn't give you the message...I cut all ties with you." Says Starscream.
"But...What's his name?" Asks Stardust.
"...Starlight." Answers Starscream.
"You give him a Star in his name." Says Stardust. He then put himself down and says. "Starlight...Come here please."
"Alright." Says Starlight. He moves closer to him, happy to see another member of his family here.
Stardust puts his hands on his shoulder. Starlight gives him a smile and hugs his GrandSire. Stardust was surprise by his reaction but he hugs him back.
"Starscream...How much will you hurt your family?" Says Starsaber darkly.
"? What do you mean?" Says Starscream who doesn't understand what he means.
"Don't you know what happen to our carrier?" Says Starsaber barely containing his rage.
"No...What happen to her?" Asks Starscream uncertain. He notice that she wasn't there for a while, but didn't know where she was.
"She's...SHE'S OFFLINE FROM THE MOMENT SHE LEARNS YOU BECAME A DECEPTICON! THE NEWS OFFLINE HER! YOU KILL HER AND I'M SURE YOU LIKE TO HURT YOUR OWN FAMILY!" Shout Starsaber.
"*Sob* no...Not her! NOT HER!" Shout Starscream. He then runs away from the control room.
"Sire..." Whispered Starlight. He discovers like Starscream that she was offline now. Worse for Starlight, he never ever see her.
"I thought he didn't care." Says Starsaber surprise by his brother reaction.
"Starsaber...Watch your word." Warns Stardust.
"Wh-...Sorry...I forgot about you." Says Starsaber to the rest of the base.
Miko, who was usually excited by new bots coming around didn't say anything. Starsaber didn't appeal to her from the conversation with Starscream and decide to remain silent.
"What are those creatures?" Asks Stardust about the humans.
Optimus explains all the details and Stardust was satisfied by his answers.
"I have a question." Says Starsaber. "Why is Starscream here in the first place?"
"He abandoned his position as decepticon and became neutral...when he learns that his sparkling was online. After all, the thought of losing him was the first reason he joins the decepticon...I think." Says Optimus.
"That bastard!" Says Starsaber. "Sorry...I only lose my cool when I talk about my...brother."
"I see." Says Starlight. "So... ...you are my uncle."
"In a way yes." He replied with a smile. "Do not worry, I'm only angered against my brother...you have done nothing wrong. I also learn that Megatron is here from my intel...Is that right?"
"You are right." Says Cliffjumper. "He's here and we are doing our best to stop him."
"Then...Count me in. You need all strength you need... ... ...I also learn some very bad news...but it won't concern us since no pretenders are on this planet." Says Starsaber.
"Actually...They are 10...no...11 pretenders on this planet and...3 of them are at this base." Says Bulkhead nervously.
"WHAT! They are in danger. The hunters will be there soon." Says Starsaber in panic.
"Who are they? Why are They after us?" Says Starlight and Tear.
"You are a pretender?" Asks Stardust to Starlight.
"Of course." Says Starlight.
"You cannot be anything else if you are the sparkling of Starscream." Says Stardust mysteriously.
"Euh...Anyway I'm only returning here recently and I already learn some bad news." Says Starlight.
"Recently returning here?" Asks Starsaber.
"Yes...I...finish my training with...Hard to believe but it was with Primus. I can perfectly use the Spark arts." Says Starlight.
The 2 other Star was silent.
"How is that possible?" Asks Stardust.
"It's a joke right?" Asks Starsaber.
"It's the true." Says Ratchet. "Only the true."
...
"Anyway...The hunters are approaching and you won't be able to stay at the autobot base since the hunters are autobot." Says Starsaber. "As for your earlier question, the Hunters are those who still followed Sentinel Prime belief about the elimination of the pretenders and hunt all of them until no more exist."
"I can protect them." Says Blackswords.
"You look familiar..." Says Starsaber when he looks at Blackswords more carefully.
"You are the sparkling of Megatron correct?" Asks Stardust.
"Yes...I know it's sad what my Sire became but I'll save him...one day I will." Says Blackswords.
"It's im-" Was about to say Starsaber but Optimus interrupt him.
"He can do it." Says Optimus.
"And why are you wearing the autobot insignia?" Asks Starsaber.
"Because I want to help the autobot stopping my Sire for his mistake and because I want to actively protect the earth." Says Blackswords.
"Good for you." Says Starsaber with a smile.
"I'm sorry if I run away." Says Starscream returning in the control room.
"It's alright." Says Starlight. "When will you continue to tell you're past?"
"Soon. I want to speak with my Sire in private please." Says Starscream.
"Alright." Says Stardust. They get out of the control room for a while.
"When the hunters shall be here?" asks Optimus. "My sparkling Tear is also a pretender and Makeshift will also be in danger."
"I can defend myself but...Origin must be warned of their presence." Says Makeshift.
"Who's Origin?" Asks Starsaber.
"The Sire of all pretenders." Answers Makeshift.
"...What does he means by that?" Wonder Starsaber.
"I shall explain it to you later." Says Tear.
Starscream and his Sire return in the control room.
"You're explanation seems like a tales but I must recognise that is the true...Maybe you choice was destiny after all." Says Stardust. "I...Never mind."
"Sire..." Says Starscream sadly. When he was young, he was afraid of him...later he was hating him with all his strength and now...he only feel remorse...He never tries to understand his Sire when his sparkling have done the opposite and he saw how much damage he has done in his Sire spark. "I'm sorry for...everything."
"...We all have our share of fault my sparkling. It's more sad that it took 10 000 stellar cycles to...speak again." Says Stardust.
"You actually think of forgiving him!" Says Starsaber. "I can't believe it."
"Never mind you...I shall continue my story now." Says Starscream.
"What story?" Asks Starsaber.
"My past...I shall now continue with...when I meet my mate." Says Starscream.
AC: Hellbat: It's sad, but I'm still not here.
Me: Yeah and...Wait a minute; I'm always the one who speak first.
Hellbat: Beat you this time.
Me: A new enemy will appear soon, will they kill a pretender? Will they kill Hellbat?
Hellbat: Of course not...right?
Me: Maybe.
Hellbat: You won't-
Me: Anyway, I hope you like this chapter; next one will be about Starscream love.
Hellbat: The title is still...now found for the next chapter...Have fun.
