Disclaimer: I don't anything but my OC's and the plot. All other canon characters belong to Hasbro and Transformers.
Also for any of you who don't know, this is the new re-write of an old story. My characters, Shadowblur, Lightningfall, Thunderdust, Vipersting, and Darkblood are being used again. Some of the old plot will reoccur but not all of it.

Chapter 1: Flight
She drawled out a slow and a shaky breath, her energon pounding against her audio reception a heavy lump in her tanks. How had she let this happen? Her knees were brought up to her chest an angry growl ripping into the stuffy darkness. A shadow moved from the corner of her eye but she didn't move, didn't react. A knotting snake of anger coiled up in her stomach its venom spewing out of her mouth.
"I hate you," But did she really? One would think so her voice was calm, poised, perfected. All she had been taught was finally being put to the test, back straight, head high, serene face. The proper way of greeting ones enemy- no fear, fear is the weakness which thus corrupts a mind. She didn't move even though every fiber in her being wanted her to scream, to fight, and to destroy the owner of the hand which gripped her shoulder. The blue pool of energon moved around her as the other person shifted their weight. Her gaze would not lift from the body on the floor, a replica of her own, as if she had been staring into a mirror. Only this wasn't a reflection, the dead and void and grey body was longer, more agile, beautiful in her own intoxicating way. The room was quiet for a moment before she finally turned her hate filled gaze upwards towards a silver glowering face.
"Tragic," his words were sarcastic making her shoulders tremble with an anger she had never experienced. "The world goes on; it will not have pity on the sparkling femme who lost her mother. Get up."
She growled her little fists balling up but she did not move. Instead he moved away unfazed by the off-lined body swimming in a pool of their own energon in the middle of his throne room. Their backs faced each other as the space between them grew with each step of his; her lower jaw trembling, a swarm of words crowding her mind. Words she desired to spat at him, to cleanse her of the bottled up resentment against the silver mech with the crimson optics. Finally her mouth exploded, a volcano of exasperation spewing out.
"The world might not have pity for me but you should." Her words trailed off before she could speak any further. Why couldn't she be loved? The clicking footsteps of the mech paused.
"Why should I waste such petty emotion on an expendable child?"
"Because you're my dad," her voice was soft spoken in a broken whisper.
"I am not your father I refuse to accept such an incompetent child could be breed from my celestial spark. You will not be viewed as my daughter." he growled his words laced with heavy hurt. Her spark dropped the answer to her unspoken question answered. Her shoulders refused to drop to let any sort of hurt be shown to him- it was a weakness in his eyes. A weakness she couldn't risk, she was already viewed as expendable. Her chest coiled up as she sucked in a shaky breath of unneeded air. His footsteps rang in her ears as he walked away, she did not move, the swoosh of the door opening and closing finally broke her free from her trance. She took a long last look at the femme, for this would be the last she would see the face of her mother- the femme who loved a monster. Her spark seemed to have shriveled up in her chest dropping and shattering against the hard steeled floor. Her little spark grew cold as she continued to stare, she stared until her whole body stung with pain; the pain of a motherless child. She turned away, acid like liquid running down her face as her arm feverishly wiped her tears away.
With a strangled howl of pain her body went spiraling across her mother's chest her small claws digging into the cold metal of the older femme. Her spark shattered, her small body shaking with pain far greater than she had ever experienced, a pain no one would be able to relieve her of. Her wrist tingled suddenly as small shockwaves of electricity coursed through her body her energon running cold as the large lump in her throat hardened only to drop into the pit of her stomach settling harshly against her. Bitterness went sliding down her throat making her mouth burn, the darker part of her processor laughed bringing alive the caged sadism within the youngling. Her innocence was cracked, beaten away with flashes of memories that warped her ignorant soul. This new part it scared her with a fright that settled right into her soul, it rode every inch of her body. The darkness laughed again as it ruptured her innocent mind dragging it into the cage of where the darkness had manifested. With a final shove, the new side took center stage and handled with ease. Her body surrendered letting the new, unexplored side of her take charge- her jaw clenched as she rose. Her mother's blue energon smeared across her chest and face like war paint, her back was straight her azure eyes cold and untouched the making of a warrior had been set in place. No one would hurt her again. She stared hard and long into the reflecting energon and looked at her reflection-the new her- and without a word she stood her legs wobbling around like Jello before she leaned down and kissed her mothers cheek in a last goodbye.
She screamed her body sitting up as if it had been electrocuted, her spark pounded against the inside its casing like drums being pounded on for a death march. Her arms wrapped around her knees as she brought them to her chest- her gaze flickered across the room until it settled on the closed window.
"Window open." She called out into the dark; the thin metal which had been blocking the window came away letting her gaze out into the vast star adorned space in which her ship floating in. She let her body relax as she silently pushed away the memories which made up her nightmares. With a final twist she mentally locked them away until they re-escaped and came to haunt her. Sighing, she twisted her body to touch the silver tablet which rested on top her stand. Her fingers barely grazed against the screen as it turned on projecting a green lit screen into the air. Her hand picked up the lighted screen away from the tablet and into her lap. Her fingers touched the small circled on the screen bringing up her messages. Inside of it the un-viewed message popped up automatically.
Early physical with Red Alert
Don't skip, I'll find you.
Smokescreen.
P.S. Team meeting with Prowl in 6 breems.
She scoffed but couldn't stop the small smile to stretch across her face. With a flick of her wrist she grabbed the screen and threw it back into the tablet as it automatically turned off. With a wince she got out of her berth getting ready to face her check up with Red. It wasn't so much that he wasn't a good physician- because he was- but it was the special tendencies that he had that sometimes irked her. It only took a small little scratch and it sent the mech into a paranoid state and he'd start ranting and raving about a decepticon planting a virus through the scratch and blah, blah, blah, get where she was getting at? Her hand swiped over the door lock opening the door, with a final sigh she ventured on her way towards the medical room.
Fidgeting in her seat, she sat uncomfortably in her seat her door wings making it uncomfortable to sit still in peace.
"Do you want to trade?" lifting her gaze upwards she made contact with the red mech beside her.
"It would be much appreciated so yes, please, Blaster" she muttered her gaze dropping a little. The mech smirked as he stood his hand pulled on one of her helm horns.
"Anytime, Shadowblur." She smiled.
Sitting in the new chair she didn't have to worry about her door wings cutting into the backrest. Prowl entered the room his gaze unwavering from a data-pad as he slunk into his chair at the top of the table. The room went silent as Prowl looked up.
"So why so serious Prowler?" Blaster said, his signature smirk gracing his lips. With a stern look from Prowl, Blaster frowned as the room grew serious.
"The all-Spark is destroyed." Prowl said his door wings dropping.
"You can't be serious! How are we going to restore cybertron with out the all-spark!" Shadowblur exclaimed as she stood up toppling her chair over. Prowl frowned but ignored her comment as he turned from her to the data-pad in his hands with a few key strokes Optimus's voice came from the data-pad.
"With the All-Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. And fate has yielded its reward a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage. And though we are worlds apart, like us, there is more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars. We are here. We are waiting..."
With that the message ended, only to have a set of recorded coordinates follow it. Still standing, Shadowblur's gaze caught the scolding look from her sister. With a glare of her own she sat down the two femmes in a silent argument with no words being said but with expressions. A cough beside her brought them back from their little silent spat. Their gazes met with the blue and grey mech's gaze. Their expressions softened, Shadowblur nodded towards the black and green femme in apology only to receive a soft smile. All was forgiven. A warm hand made its way onto her knee squeezing it and she turned to look at the blue and grey mech his smile making the room seem brighter- the mech and femme were all she had left- she would not lose them. The exchange between the three siblings went unnoticed between the rest of the team. Her gaze went across each and everyone's face not including her siblings- Blaster, Red Alert, Smokescreen, Prowl, and finally Bluestreak. Everyone looked at Prowl as he stared at the datapad, with a tired sigh he looked up.
Smokescreen growled, his white and red detailed wings raiding upwards. "So what's going to happen now?"
Prowl was silent for a moment before looking at everyone in their optics. "If Optimus want us to go to this Earth, then we go. And if he wants us to live on that new planet then it's his command."
"Prowl you can't be serious, were just going to go to planet we have no knowledge about and pretend the all-spark and Cybertron never existed!" Smokescreen's white fist slammed against the table making Bluestreak jump. Prowl looked at him and glared his golden optics going into narrow slits, "That's not what I said; we go to Earth because that is where Optimus needs us. If he is calling for his troops then we go."
"Prowl," Bluestreak began his voice soft, "And- and when we go get to earth and them what? What about all this fighting we've done, it'll be for nothing without the all-spark, Cybertron it'll be left forgotten- Iacon, Kaon," his voice dropping into a whisper, "Praxian."
Prowl sat up rigidly his jaw clenching, "I don't know."
The room went silent before Lightningfall spoke up, "When do we leave?"
Shadowblur glanced at her sister before voicing her own concerns, "How many of us are planet side on this Earth."
Prowl looked at the twins, "We leave in 3 breems well get there a in a few cycles by my calculations if we go at a reasonable pace without any obstacles. Earth is in the next solar system." Prowl glanced down at his data-pad, "Prime's team is there but that is all I know, by the time we get there I'm sure another team will be there already."
"And the con's?" Blaster asked, warily eyeing red Alert for any outburst he might have at the name of their enemies.
"Unknown number, but not many, I'm sure."
The room went silent once more as they all took in the gathered information.
"Meeting dismissed." Prowl got up his worn data-pad in hand as he walked out of the room. The occupants in the room filed out shortly after their team commander, leaving to prepare for their long flight through space.
