Starbeam's view
I was in the main hanger, when I see Bumbles drive in and transform to his biped mode.
"Bumbles, where did you go?" I ask
*buzzes* Is Optimus in his office Bumbles ask
"yes." I tell Bumbles as he walks to Optimus' office.
I follow behind, curious.
*buzzes* Star, go. I''ll come find you later Bumbles says
"aww, fine" I reply as I leave and head back to the main hanger

(italic Bee speaking)
Bee's view
I knock on Optimus' door
"Come" Optimus says and I open the door and walk in, closing the door behind me
"Bumblebee" Optimus says
*I have something to tell you* I say
"what is it, Bumblebee?"
*Rainstrike says that she will help Saphire and Amethyst escape the nemesis and when she does, she wants to join the Autobots. and she also says that you know her because her carrier was Moonfire* I tell him and see his optics go wide in shock
"You've been leaving base to speak with Rainstrike?"
*yes*
"Moonfire was my sister. Rainstrike is my spark-niece. It will be good for her to be here with us and not with Megatron."
*She didn't say how long it would take, but hopefully soon.*
"I hope so to, Bumblebee. you may leave"
After that I leave and head to the training room to see Arcee and Cliff in there along with Jazz

Jazz's view
I was in the training room with Arcee and Cliff, training, but we couldn't stay focused on it.
we were too concerned about Saphire and Amethyst.
*hey* Bee says as he walks in
"hi, Bee" Arcee says
*Amethyst and Saphire will be back here soon.*
"How do you know?" I ask
*You will see, Jazz.*
"does it have to do with you leaving base when not you're not doing any scouting or mission?" I ask
*yes*
"tell us" Arcee says
*not only will Saphire and Amethyst come back, but we'll gain another team member* Bee tells
"Which Con will change side?" I ask
*she's not a con, even though her sire has been trying to force to be one. She hates the Cons with a passion. That's all I will say. bye* Bee says as he leaves
"That is kinda cryptic" Cliff says
"it rather is, isn't it?" I ask
"at least we have something to hold on to" Arcee says
"and that's what?" Cliff asks
"hope" Arcee said.

Starbeam's View
I was outside the training room, listening to Bee tell Jazz, Arcee and Cliff that Saph and Ame would be coming back along with another bot who would join us.
'there's got to be a reason why Bee leaves base when not on duty. I know! I'll follow him the next time he leaves base' I think to myself as I softly run back to the main hanger when I saw Bee getting ready to leave the training room.
***time skip***
Dusk was just starting to set when I saw Bee drive out of base. I transform into my alt mode and follow behind him, but not too close.
I followed Bee for a hour before I saw him stop and transform as a purple bot comes out from a ground bridge.
"Starbeam, what are you doing here?" I hear and I turn around and see Jazz
"Jazz, why are you here?" I ask
"I saw you follow Bumblebee out of base, so I followed you" Jazz says
"oh ok. I'm gonna get closer. I can't hear what they're saying"I say as I walk closer to them, with Jazz following behind
"I will have them off the ship in a week's time, Bee. tell uncle what I said. also, your sister and another bot followed you here." The purple femme says as Bee turns and sees me and Jazz
*Star, Jazz, why follow me?* Bee asks
"I wanted to know why you leave base alot, Bee and who is she?" I ask
*you will find out later, Star* Bee says
"There's something familiar about her, Bee, but I can't figure it out. but I will" Jazz says
*Jazz, don't. Saphire and Amethyst will be back in a week's time* Bee says
"I got to get back, or my father or somebot else will com looking for me" the femme says as she walks through a ground bridge
"Let's head back to base" Jazz says as he transforms.
Bee and I do the same and the three of us drive back to base.
*I'll see you two later. I need to speak with Optimus* Bee says as he transforms and walks to Optimus' office.
"I'll be in my room, recharging" Jazz says as he walks away.
I head to the rec room to find that Sky and Storm were playing a video game.
I sigh and headed to my room instead.

Rainstrike's view
*flashback*
It was a week after momma was killed by oppi that the testing started.
"Rainstrike, come with me" oppi says as he stands in my doorway
"to where, oppi?" I ask
"you will see, Rainstrike" oppi says as I follow behind him as he takes me to a medbay
"Shockwave, here is your test subject" Oppi says
"Oppi?" I ask, unsure of what was happening
"I shall be back in a few cycles" oppi says as he leaves and than I'm strapped to the medical berth
"This will not hurt, youngling" Shockwave says as for the next few cycles he proceeded to inject different colors of liquid into me.
That was my routine everyday up until my last upgrade and than no more tests.
even when I discovered I had a special power that oppi wants me to use against the Autobots, but I refuse to get upset at all.
*Flashback ends*

'once I join the Autobots, I will use my power against the Cons.' I think to myself as I sat on my berth

I decided to walk to holding area where the cells were at while Bladewing was on a mission with Starscream.
I walked down the hall to see two femmes in the third cell down.
I headed towards it and see that one of the two femmes is Saphire.
"Saphire?" I ask
"Who are you?" Saphire asks me
"It's Rainstrike. Don't you remember me?" I say
"You don't look like Rain, 'Con" She says
"Figured you wouldn't believe me" I say as I take a cloth out of my subspace and wiped off the purple paint job on my faceplate so that she would see the blue and yellow.
"Rainstrike? But..." Saphire starts saying but I interrupt her
"It's washable paint. I have to hide my true armor color or Megatron will get mad at me" I say
"I thought something happened to you" Saphire says
"After my mom died, Megatron allowed me to be Shockwave's experiment and half the time I was kept in my room" I replied
"Rain"
"you don't have to say anything. Just know that I'm going to help you two escape and I'll be going with. I refuse to become a Decepticon and besides I have to keep the promise I made to my mom." I reply as I unlock the cell door and open it so that Saphire and the youngling can get out.
Once they were out, " I'll be in the front and the youngling will be behind me with you bringing up the rear" I say and I make sure that the young femme is behind me while Saphire brings up the rear.
"How will we get off the ship, Saphire?" the young femme says
"Probably jump off, Amethyst" Saphire replies to her
"I can't fly, I can't even transform yet" the young femme, Amethyst, says
"Saphire, put in the coordinates of your base" I say as I hand her the remote grand bridge
"how did you get this?" she asks as she puts in her base's coordinates
"took off Starscream and don't worry. I reprogramed it so it wouldn't save any coordinates that are put into it" I reply as she hands it back to me and I activate the ground bridge.
"All right, let's leave this ship" I say as I walk through and come out into the Autobot base with the youngling and Saphire following behind.
once we were through, I shut off the ground bridge
Saphire's view
"By the All Spark!" Ratchet says when he turns around to see us standing there
"hi ya Ratch" I say as everybot comes in.
"momma" Amethyst says as she runs over to Arcee and hugs her
"Rainstrike?" Oppi asks
"Hi, Uncle" Rain says as I see shock on everybot's faceplates except for mom, oppi, and Ratchet
"Uncle?!" Miko, Jack and Raf exclaimed
"that's right, uh..." Rain says
"Rain, this is Miko, Jack and Raf" I say
"Nice to meet you" Rain tells them and they reply back
I gasp as I feel the sparkling kick at my tank
"Saphire, are you all right?" Star asks me
"I am. just felt the sparkling move is all" I say as I am engulfed in a hug by Jazz
"you are not leaving this base until our sparkling is born" Jazz whispers into my audio receptors.
"I wasn't planning too, Jazz" I reply
"can someone explain how Rain is related to Optimus?" Miko asks
"easy. my mom was Optimus's spark sibling, sister in your terms." Rain tells them
"So why are you here?" Jack asks her
"I would rather be a Autobot than a Decepticon. for more than one reason" Rain tells him
"You want to join us? Why?" Bulk asks
Rain's view
"You want to join us? why?" the green bulky bot asks.
"Bulkhead!" Saphire Says
I look at the mech, Bulkhead, "because I made a promise to my mom before she deactivated that I would join the Autobots and also I can't stand being near the mech that killed her" I tell him
"who killed her?" Raf, I believe his name is, asked
"the mech who I thought was my sire, but he isn't" I say
"Who's he?" the girl, Miko, asks
Sighing, "Megatron. and before any of you bots get slagged off, I want nothing to do with the Decepticons at all. I don't even have the 'Con symbol and Megatron is not even my true sire and that information i shall keep to myself" I say when I saw that some of the Autobots were going to protest
"Rain, I'll show you where the washracks are so you can finish taking off the paint and than I'll show you where you'll be recharging at" Elita says
"sure" I reply as I follow her out of the main hanger
Saphire's view
I watched as Rain followed mom out of the hanger and shortly after, everyone else dispersed too, leaving me, Jazz, and Ratchet. Miko, Jack and Raf had gone with Bee to the rec room.
"Saphire, I would like to do a check up" Ratchet says
"Sure thing, Racth" I say as I walk over and sit on the medbay berth
I waited while Ratchet did what he usually does
"Saphire, open your chest plates, please" Ratchet says and I open my chest plates to reveal my spark and the gestation chamber
"the sparklings have moved to the gestation chamber, but they won't come for another few weeks." Ratchet says
"Wait, you said sparklings, as in more than one?" Jazz asks
"yes. You'll be having twins. I can't determine the gender for another few days." Ratchet.
"twins, Jazz. Isn't that wonderful?" I ask as I close my chest plates and hop off the berth and walk over to where Jazz stood.
"it is, Saphire, and let's get to our quarters to get some recharge" Jazz says as he grabs hold of my hand and we head to our quarters for the night.
