YAY! People like my story.
Thanks to all of you who added this to story alert or favourite story. Please enjoy, I think it's time Sentinel told Nighthawk (Chromia) and Lightspeed (Jazz) the truth don't you ;)
The two flyers were sat in the couch in the lab talking, it was early morning on Cybertron, the two of them had low-grade energon. The previous day had been so confusing, they had been brought back from the dead by Sentinel Prime, Optimus' dead father, they had no clue how he had brought them back. The only thing they knew was the fact that he needed some important information and their first mission was to locate the datapad and bring it back to him, it was also an opportunity for them to take their first flight as flyers. Sentinel was standing in his room looking through a crack in his door, he was watching the two bots as they talked, he had to tell them how he had brought them back and what it meant to have a piece of Primus in their sparks. He had been brought back from the dead by Primus although he didn't have a piece of Primus in his spark he knew what it meant, the day he was brought back Primus had given him two small shards of his spark and told him to find two flyers.
He was told that he must finish his mission otherwise, the seal would be broken. Sentinel didn't know what was meant by the seal, but he knew that the mission was critical and it was important that he was to find his son and gain his help. His research had told him that the two bots who would be best to become flyers, were Chromia and Jazz the only problem was that they were both dead. He had found out that Chromia was in the Autobot crypt while Jazz had gone to Earth, it took a lot of work but he eventually found out where Jazz's body would be laid to rest.
He looked back to the two flyers, they were smiling and talking to each other about the ones they loved, sadly as they had their sparks re-created their bonds were either weak or gone. If they didn't bond with their mates within a few months Ironhide and Prowl would most likely not be able to cope with the pain and kill themselves. He sighed and pushed the doors open, immediately the two of them stopped talking and looked at him, he walked over to them and pulled a chair up and sat down. He leant forward and rested his head on his hands.
"It's time I told you why I brought you back to life. Listen to what I have to say and then we can make our way to Earth" they put down their energon and looked at him
Ironhide walked out of his quarters and was tackled by a yellow blur, they landed on the floor and Ironhide looked up and saw Bumblebee, he was hugging him, it was obvious that he had been crying. Ironhide sat up and stroked the top of his helm, back on Cybertron Chromia had been a big part of the little mech's life, as well as Ironhide, Optimus and Elita. They were the closest thing to family that he had. Bumblebee held on tighter to Ironhide and quietly began sobbing, the black mech tried comforting him but it was obvious he was missing her, the two of them sat there mourning the loss of a femme they both loved.
Bumblebee had just gotten over Jazz's death when he found out about Chromia, he had spent a lot of time with Optimus and Elita, but in the end he had gone looking for his other guardian. He never showed that he was weak in front of Prowl, the black and white mech had already seen Bumblebee crying once and he had tried to comfort him but it wasn't the same as having one of his four guardians comfort him.
Ironhide stood up and held Bumblebee close as he continued to cry, the only other bot able to give him some comfort was Arcee, the two of them loved each other and having her with him made everything feel better. Next to Arcee and her sisters he was the youngest on base, everyone else was grieving for the loss of their friends but they were able to hide it, because he was so much younger it made everything harder for him.
"Ok, so we have this freaky energy inside of us that we can only use if we feel there is no choice because we can't control ourselves when we use it" Sentinel nodded at Jazz
"And the thing that causes this is part of Primus" he nodded at Chromia, she put her head in her hands and looked at Jazz, he was quiet for once in total shock. Sentinel stood up and walked over to the energon dispenser, he filled up 2 cubes and walked back over to them, he handed a cube to each of them, Jazz drank half of his while Chromia just stared at hers.
"Finish your energon and then we can head to Earth, I know this is a shock but I can't tell you why we have to find Optimus just yet, but I will tell you once we find him I promise" they looked up at him before downing their energon, Chromia pulled herself up followed by Jazz "Follow me, there's a warp gate on the other side of Iacon. Stay in the shadows it's a safe way, that's how I was able to find your body Jazz. Before we go, you don't have to do this, if you don't want to lie to Ironhide and Prowl then I won't make you come to Earth with me" They looked at each other
"In my opinion even if I can't tell Ironhide that I love him and who I really am, then at least I can see him"
"Same here, it's better to see Prowler even if I can't tell him who I am"
"Ok, follow me" Sentinel walked out of the room and they followed him out into the streets. The blue mech ran over to the shadows followed by the two flyers, Sentinel dashed ahead and dived into the shadows, he signalled for Chromia and Jazz to stay hidden, a few Decepticons walked past his hiding place and turned off the other way. He waved at them and the two of them ran across and dived into the shadows next to him.
A tall building stood in front of them, Sentinel turned to them, they nodded at him and slowly began sneaking forward among the shadows. Chromia snuck up one side while Sentinel and Jazz walked forward on the other side. Chromia froze as 5 Decepticons walked out and walked close to her, she stopped all non crucial systems had remained still as they passed her and made their way down a side alley, she nodded at Jazz who signalled to Sentinel for them to keep moving. Chromia checked for any activity before running as fast as she could across to the other side, her wings folded down behind her, as she pressed herself closer to the wall. Sentinel bent down and opened a hidden hatch, Jazz walked in front of him and went in followed by Chromia and then Sentinel, he shut it behind him.
"Where are we?" Jazz whispered
"In the ventilation shafts over the warp gate, if we go a bit further we can drop down into a storage room and then make a dash for the gate, I can remotely choose our destination" Sentinel replied in a small whisper, they carried on crawling until they came to the drop, Jazz dropped down first followed by Chromia and then Sentinel. He nodded at them, he took the remote out and activated it, they ran out and headed straight for it, Decepticons fired at them, the three of them dodged the fire and made for the warp gate. "LIGHTSPEED OPEN IT NOW!" Jazz did as he was told and kicked the warp door open, he ran in followed by Chromia and Sentinel, they pulled the door shut and Sentinel activated it. The light glowed and in a flash the three of them dissapeared.
EARTH...
Jazz came flying out of the cliff, screaming, he hit into the ground and fell down to into the sand. Chromia came shooting out of the ground and landed on top of him, Sentinel followed soon after landing next to them. Chromia groaned and pulled herself up off of Jazz who was underneath her face in the ground, Sentinel pulled himself up on a rock and looked at them, he activated a cloak and his armour changed, he looked like a totally different mech. Chromia held out a hand to Jazz who took it, she pulled him up off of the sand and smiled the paint on one of his wings was damaged, he wings were unharmed as they were folded down.
"Damn it all to pit!" Jazz looked at his wings "New wings and I've already had the paint ruined, don't smile at me, just cause you can fold yours down" she laughed at him and grinned "Yo boss bot why did you change your armour?" Chromia turned round and looked at him
"Because Lightspeed, Nighthawk in a few moments we are going to be spotted by Earth's military satellites, which will most likely lead to us being attacked" Jazz and Chromia looked at each other, they knew all to well what that meant
"Yo Nighthawk like the new voice?" Jazz was using a voice changer, she laughed his voice sounded deeper then before
"It's ok do you like mine" her voice sounded like a mixture of Elita's and Moonracer's
"Very nice, get ready to have our afts kicked these humans pack a punch" Chromia's wings shifted up she was preparing for a fight "Don't shoot them there is a hell of a chance the Autobots will be with them and I don't think Prime will enjoy us shooting at the humans" she lowered her wings just as a gun shot came from behind them, they spun around and saw a group of humans armed and pointing their weapons at them. Jazz put his hands up, the other two bots followed suit. Chromia smiled when she saw the black top kick transform, Jazz did the same when the police car did the same, Sentinel walked forward and stopped next to them when Optimus pointed his gun at them.
"Who are you and how did you avoid our scanners?" Optimus' gaze went to Chromia, like the others his jaw dropped open "Is...she...a..."
"A flyer? Yes I am thank you very much for noticing" she smirked at him and lifted her wings when a human shot at her, Jazz grabbed her and held her back, her wings pointed back showing her anger while Jazz's remained straight.
"Nighthawk cool it, they aren't gonna hurt ya" she calmed down and her wings folded back down, she crossed her arms and shrugged his arms off of her. Sentinel looked at them and lowered his arms he frowned at Chromia "She ain't gonna do anything boss, honest if she does I will personally drag her back to Cybertron"she snorted.
"Ah believe Prime asked yah ah question" Ironhide said, he walked forward charging his cannons
"I'm afraid I can't answer any of your questions right now, not yet anyway"
"Prime ahsked yah ah question and yer gonna answer 'im" Ironhide said
"I'm afraid not" he looked at the two flyers "NOW!" he vanished and the two flyers transformed and shot off into the sky, the Autobots fired up at them and NEST aided them
"GET BACK 'ERE YAH CONS!" yelled Ironhide, Chromia lost concentration for a moment and had to barrel roll out of Ironhide's target range.
"Lightspeed, Nighthawk get to my position after you've lost them"
"Yes sir!" they both replied at the same time before activating their boosters and shooting off leaving the Autobots behind. Prime looked at his men, the femmes had remained at base, most of them were in shock
"Well that was a shock, a femme flyer, never thought I'd see one" Ratchet said, a few of the mechs grunted in response as they watched the two jets dissapear
"Ah can't help but wonder, dah femme looked very familiar don't yah agree Bee?" the youngling nodded in agreement and looked at his guardian, "Ah suggest we monitor all the time from now on, don't yah agree Prime? Prime?"
"What, sorry let's get back we don't know where they've gone, I don't want to chance them going the base" everyone looked at him and then transformed and began making their way back to the base.
Chromia and Jazz transformed, they were in the middle of a snowstorm in Antartica, Sentinel was waiting in the entrance of a ice cave, he waved at them and watched as the two bots ran through the snow towards him. They skidded to a halt and walked in, a small fire was burning brightly. They sat down on the floor and pressed their backs up against the wall, Sentinel pulled a rock in front of the cave and walked over to them.
"Where did ya go boss?"
"You kind of vanished back there" he sat down opposite them and looked at the small fire
"It's a random warper" he showed them a device on his wrist "It sends me anywhere in the planet all I had to do was hope that it sent me somewhere that we can hide, and it did" he took a datapad out of subspace and tossed it over at them "read it, it has all of the information you will need, remember try not to act how you normally would around them, I can't risk them finding out who you are not just yet" they looked down and the datapad, looked at each other and then threw it back
"I'd rather not read it, not knowing makes me feel better about not being able to see Prowler"
"Same here, I'd rather not know" he sub-spaced the datapad and smiled at the two of them, he felt sorry for them, their sparkmates thought they were dead even though unknown to them they had just seen each other again. He knew how hard it must be for all of them, he stood up and walked further into the cave leaving the two of them to sit by the fire. Chromia pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her head on top of them, Jazz put a hand on her shoulder she smiled at him.
"What's eating at ya Chromia?" she sighed
"Bumblebee and Ironhide" she pulled her legs closer into her chest "Ironhide shot at us, and Primus knows how Bumblebee is coping, he's only young and next to Hide, Optimus and Elita I was one of his guardians." Jazz sighed and put his head back on the wall
"He'll be fine, you know Bee's a strong one, and don't worry about Ironhide shooting at you they don't know who we are remember"
"Yeah" she looked over at Sentinel who was at the back of the cave reading the datapad "Sir, may I ask what our next move is?" he clicked it off and looked at them
"Give it a hour and then we can move out again, I need you two to give me a distraction, I have to speak to Optimus alone or at least give him a datapad with a meeting place on it" they looked at him "I won't make you fight them, but I trust you will do what is necessary"
"Of course"
"Sure"
"Good, recharge I'll wake you when it's time" he watched as the two flyers fell into recharge, the snow storm was still raging on outside
