Soulmates; Chapter 29: A Shooting StarGazer

Bulkhead looked out the window in his room, distracted. Sure he needed to get his painting done but...he was too distracted by...something. It was like some sort of invisible force was telling him that something was going happen. Now. And the fact that he seemed to hear a femme...cry. Bulkhead sighed as he shook his helm, returning to his painting. And, before he even knew it, Bulkhead was painting StarGazer. He had seen pictures of StarGazer and, frankly, she was drop dead gorgeous.

Bulkhead sat back in his chair, staring at the picture of StarGazer. He had seemingly captured every detail of her face. He glanced at a picture if StarGazer that Wave had given him. He grinned at it as he glanced at the photo to the painting, back and fourth. Yep, Bulkhead thought. I got it right. Bulkhead grinned is satisfaction as he sat back in his chair. He looked outside at the window again. Bulkhead's thoughts drifted to what Wave had told everyone about StarGazer. He thought back to the conversation earlier in the week when Sari and Fern had asked about her family.

"StarGazer," Wave had said. She had glanced down at the ground with a big grin on her face, remembering her older sister. "She's...well...StarGazer. She always seems to have a story to everything; heard it from DG or made it up herself." Wave had seemed to get lost in her memories of her siblings. "Yeah, she could make you tell her your problems about everything, whether you liked it or not," Wave had added. Hot Shot had grinned at Wave as she told them about StarGazer. "And she's basically the life of...everything! You can't do anything with out her." She had sat back in her seat, eyes closing. "And, oh yeah, she's drop dead beautiful; she get any mech at anytime and anywhere...though most of 'em were afts and glitchheads and most of 'em were big time show offs...so they'd be gone by next week." Wave's grin as suddenly fading as she talked about StarGazer's social life; she had lots of friends and such, sure, but...her last mechfriend left lots of scars...mentally and physically. "Anyway," Wave shook her helm as she moved on with it, "StarGazer was fun loving and all, real atheltic, a little over protective sometimes..." Suddenly, tears were filling her optics. "And she...she was a great older sister and-" Wave had to stop because of all the tears. Hot Shot had given her a look of sympathy and hugged her.

Bulkhead blinked back to reality as the sad part came in. He sighed as his optics drifted back to the window, still thinking of StarGazer. "She misses you," Bulkhead whispered to no one, it was a if she could hear him. "Real bad."

Before he went back to his painting, he heard someone say,

"I know."

*At the abandoned space shuttle*

Moonbeam walked down the make shift halls of the space shuttle, the sound of a sparkling crying filling her audios. "What will shut that damn sparkling up? !" Moonbeam shouted to no one. She let out a angry sigh as she stomped up to the room that kept the Ironoides in. Moonbeam unlocked the make shift jail that was set up for the Ironoides inside. Once she was in, Moonbean gawked at all the Ironoides.

"Wha-what do you want?" Data sputtered, seriously injured and sick, holding Rave. Moonbeam gritted her dental plates together, her optics searching for the source of the crying. Data was beaten and battered; his armour, once shining, was now dusty and ruined. Same with Rave's and everyone elses. Injuries were all over Data and Rave's body; wires hanging from their arms and legs, their Ironoide skin partly showing, scars everywhere and more. It looked as if they had gotten run over by a fright train.

Luna and Hammerhead were huddled by the wall, looking at Moonbeam as she walked past them. Luna's armour was dented and it was gray and dusty, some of her Ironoide skin was showing. The same with DG and Hammerhead. They were all fatefully sick.

Moonbeam walked past them, DG glaring at her. Then, Moonbeam came to StarGazer, whom was holding a crying Buzz. Buzz was a small, yellow and white femme; light turquoise optics, her helm looked like short hair, white arms, legs, neck and skin, small yellow boots, yellow fingerless gloves, a yellow chasiss and bottom chassis and a small blue circle in the middle of her chest plate. StarGazer pulled Buzz closer to her chest plate as Wrench crawled over to DG, whimpering. Wrench was equally as sick as anyone and his whole body was filled with scars, scratchs and more. (I can't describe the rest, unless you want to cry). DG took his little brother into his arms, careful not to touch any recent scratchs. Moonbeam glared at StarGazer, then her optics drifted to Buzz.

"SHUT UP!" Moonbeam yelled at Buzz.

Buzz stopped.

Moonbeam smirked as the child's tears kept rolling down her cheeks but made no sound. "Good," Moonbeam sighed. She stood up and walked away, shutting the door behind herself. After they were sure she was gone, Luna burst into tears. "This is torture!" DG exclaimed. Hammerhead patted Luna's back as she cried. "I-Its not fair!" Luna wailed. "Its just not fair..." She grew quieter. "I know its not, honey," Rave said softly, patting Luna's knee. "But we'll get outta here..."

"When, Mom?" DG snapped.

"When?"

"Soon."

"You said that three years ago, Mom!"

Rave went silent.

DG sighed, realizing that his mother was hurt. "I'm sorry, Mom," DG apologized, shaking his helm. "I'm just..."

"Its alright, honey. I understand." Rave said kindly. DG smiled. Data sighed as he pulled Rave closer to him. StarGazer closed her optics, her helm on the wall.

"At least...Wave doesn't have to go through this..." Hammerhead piped up, trying to lighten the mood. That only made it worse. Luna sobbed again as Wrench had tears in his optics, too. Rave buried her face into Data's chest plate, tears filling her optics. StarGazer felt as if someone was...with her. And that she could feelsomeone else. It was...telepathicaly. Without even knowing, StarGazer began to cry. Wave, she thought. I miss you. We all miss you. And...I know you miss us, too... She added in her mind.

Little did she know, someone else had heard it, too.

"Wait a cycle," Data said suddenly.

Everyone stopped.

Even Buzz.

Data, very slowly because of his 'contion', crawled over to the door and gave it a light tap.

It was opened.

Slightly ajar but opened.

At first, no one could believe it, then DG exclaimed, "We're free! Oh, Iceiss! We're finally free!" Wrench pumped his fists up in the air. "Yay!" he cheered. Suddenly, the sound of X-Fire could be heard outside. "Finally,: X-Fire was saying, "that damned sparkling stopped crying!"

Everyone groaned in disappointment.

"Looks like we're not going anywhere..." Hammerhead muttered. Data pursed his lips together as he pressed his helm against the wall. Then a sudden thought floated through his processor...

"StarGazer," he said. StarGazer looked at her father as he turned to her. "Yes, Daddy?" she asked.

"Go."

"What?"

"Go," he repeated. "Run. Get outta here with Buzz." StarGazer blinked. "Me? Why me?" she asked. "Because," Data said, now everyone had their optics on him, "you are the only one who had stealth powers." This was true; StarGazer's special power was stealth. "And you're the most healthy," Rave said, her voice croaking. This was almost true; StarGazer didn't have that many scratchs, and was, sort of, in good shape. By the standards she was anyway. StarGazer glanced at her family, they all nodded at her. StarGazer glanced down at Buzz and knew that she needed to go.

"Alright," she said. "I'll go."

StarGazer, very slowly, rised to her pedes, quiet. Buzz remained quiet as she watched her sister slowly make her way out of the dungeon, away from her family. "Good bye," Wrench said, waving. StarGazer bit back tears. She used her power of stealth and crept out of the room, unnoticed by X-Fire and Moonbeam. She walked down the halls easily with Buzz in her arms, not making a sound. But she was only half way down when Random Blitzwing came along. "I think dat dis could uze zome paint!" Random Blitzwing stated, holding a bucket of paint. Shockwave rolled his optic at Random, Icey and Hothead Blitzwing watching, servos crossed over their chest plates. StarGazer began to take slower steps as she approached. "Let da painting begin!" Random cheered, splashing paint on the wall.

StarGazer gasped.

Some had landed on her.

Now, her right shoulder, side of her neck and most of her face was covered with the paint. She froze in her spot as all the 'cons looked at first, all was silent, then,

"ONE HAS ESCAPED!"

She ran.

"RUN, STARGAZER! RUN!" She heard her family yell after her. She ran faster. "GET THE IRONOIDE!" Shockwave yelled. Dark Star and Lugnut and Moonbeam and X-Fire nodded and started runnng after him, as did the Blitzwing's. Shockwave glanced at the Ironoides that were yelling to StarGazer. "YOUR ALMOST THERE!" Data yelled, then coughing. Shockwave made his way to the door. "Get back!" he barked. They were pushed back by the door but that didn't stop them:

"RUN!" Luna screamed.

StarGazer ran down the halls as quickly as she could, her stealth off. Buzz looked scared...but didn't cry. StarGazer was frankly scared as well. She screamed as X-Fire neared, but she dodged him, he cursed as she got away. StarGazer ran and ran...her families cries in her audios. What Wrench screamed next made a pang in her spark:

"FIND WAVE!"

Find Wave, StarGazer thought. Find Wave...

"GET THE IRONOIDE!" Moonbeam screamed, causing StarGazer to come back to reality. She ran faster. StarGazer suddenly saw...

An escape pod.

StarGazer ran faster.

"SHE'S GONNA GO FOR THE ESCAPE PODS!" Moonbeam yelled, realizing StarGazer's route. Dark Star's optics widened as he ran after StarGazer. She, before Dark Star could grab her, opened the door to the pod and jumped inside with Buzz. Buzz had tears rolling down her cheek...but no sound. Dark Star and Lugnut tried opening the pod but it wouldn't budge. Quickly, StarGazer typed in some random courdense; anywhere was better then there.

Anywhere.

Instantly, the pod roared to life and took off. "NO!" Lugnut yelled, watching the pod take to the skies.

StarGazer gasped as she watched the space shuttle get smaller and smaller-away from her family. But she'd get help. Find Wave and get help. Buzz whimpered as they got closer to a strange blue and green and white planet. StarGazer watched in awe as they got closer and closer. StarGazer glanced down at the panel that read the planets name:

Earth.

Hot Shot watched the monitor in boredom, since he was on monitor duty. He was clearly bored out of his processor. He sighed as he watched the screen in silence. He yawned. Suddenly, he felt servos wrap around his neck. "Huh?" he gasped. Someone kissed the back of his helm and rested their chin on the top of his helm. "Guess who?" A famillier loving voice asked. Hot Shot chuckled softy, touching her cheek gently, bringing her face down to his. Wave sat on Hot Shot lap, her servos still around his neck. "How's Wa today?" Hot Shot cooed into her audio respecter, kissing her.

"Mmmmm," Wave said. "Wa is alright." She rested her helm onto his shoulder, Hot Shot chuckling. "Whatcha doin', anyways?" Wave asked. "Watchin' the stupid monitor," Hot Shot grumbled in response.

"Don't make the monitor feel bad, now," Wave chided. Hot Shot grunted, "I have reasons why I should."

"Oh? Do tell."

"One, it made me bored."

"Mah,"

"Two, its driving me insane."

"Mah,"

"And three, it keeping me away from you."

"Now that's a good reason!"

Hot Shot laughed.

He leaned down and kissed Wave's mouth. She kissed him back, putting on of her hand on his shoulder. Optimus peered over to see if Hot Shot was watching the monitor-and found something else. He grinned slightly with a small chuckle and shook his helm. Ratchet walked out of the medic-bay-and saw the scene. He chuckled-but then saw what was the monitor. He walked over to Hot Shot and Wave, and tapped Hot Shot's shoulder awkwardly. Hot Shot glanced up at the old medic, his cheeks flushed.

"Might not wanna get your glossa too comfortable there, kid," Ratchet said, pointing to the monitor. Wave and Hot Shot both glanced at the monitor and say two, small blips on the screen. One was very small, like it was an infant, and the second one was a bit bigger but faint...

"Autobots," Optimus said, as everyone crowed around the monitor. Everyone stood up. But Wave just pursed her lips into a frown, crossing her servos. "...And Ironoide," Optimus added, making her grin, uncrossing her servos. "Transform and roll out!"

That's what everyone did.

The Autobots, and Ironoide and techno-organic and humans, traveled towards where the object was going to land at; some where in the middle of the woods, in a clearing.

"Look!" Charlotte exclaimed, pointing at the sky. There was a sonic boom like ripple in the sky, then there was an escape pod crash down. (Charlotte is on Rodimus' shoulder). "GET OUTTA THE WAY!" Optimus yelled, as everyone ducked for cover, Rodimus taking hold of Charlotte as the four-year-old screamed. As the dust rolled off, they started to stand up. They walked over to the make shift escape pod, slowly. The humans hid behind their mechs. Bulkhead approached the pod, feeling like someone...was inside. He reached out and opened it, steam poured out.

Everyone gasped as the stepped aside, letting whatever was in there to get out. Suddenly, the sound of a sparkling crying filled everyones audios/ears. Then, a sparkling was being lifted out of the pod by wobbly arms. Wave rushed over and took the sparkling from the mysterious servos as they almost gave out. Wave looked at the sparkling up and down; it looked like it had been abused. "Wow..." She breathed, surprised. Who would abuse such a cute sparkling? There was a groan suddenly. Then a femme that had lots if injuries and looked like she just walked out of the pod, very wobbly. Bulkhead caught her as she fell, out cold. Wave studied the femme in Bulkhead's servos. Why does she seemed so famillier...

"Buzz," the femme gasped. She lifted her servo, up to the sparkling. "Buzz...don't hurt...her...don't...hurt Buzz...don't..." She fell unconsuos again. That voice... Wave thought. She shook her helm and looked down at the sparkling in her servos.

"Buzz," Wave said. The sparkling looked up. "Buzz," Wave repeated, this time grinning. Buzz said something in sparkling talk as Wave talked to her. Questions were rolling around in the sparklings mind:

Why was this stranger holding her? Why does she feel like she should know this femme? And, most importantly, why did she look so much like Rave? Her mother? Was it her mother? So many questions, yet no answers...but she didn't care.

Buzz grinned and hugged Wave around the neck. "Whoa!" Wave smiled. "Hey," Hot Shot said, "I think she likes you!" Wave chuckled. "I guess she does..." Buzz buried her helm into Wave's chest plate, making sparkling chirping noises. Wave grinned and stroked Buzz's back softly, like her mother used to do when she was a sparkling. "Let's take them back to the base," Optimus said, gesturing to Buzz and the still-unknown-femme. "They don't look in the best shape..." Everyone nodded and began to head back to the base, not bothering transforming.

Once the got to the base, Buzz looked scared. She didn't know any of these bots that were around her; or the one that was carrying her sister. Why was her mother letting this happen? Buzz shivered.

"Aw," Wave said, noticing Buzz shiver in fear in her servos. "Its okay, Buzz. These are friends." Buzz tilted her helm-and felt a sharp pain. Tears swelled up in her optics, remembering the pain. It was from when Moonbeam had...tears spilled out. Wave gave a look of sorrow. "Aw, don't cry, Buzz..." Wave, very softly, stroked Buzz's helm. Buzz, still having tears stream out of her optics, looked up at Wave, seeing her kind face. Buzz sniffed and Wave wiped away the sparklings tears. Finally, Wave noticed the huge dent on the sparklings helm. She gasped.

"Red Alert! Ratchet!" Wave called. Red Alert glanced up and rushed over to Wave. "What is it, Wave?" the femme medic asked. Wave motioned her servos to Buzz's helm. "Look at this," Red Alert's optics widened at the size of the huge dent. "Primus," Red Alert breathed. It was like someone had hit the poor sparklings helm with a sledge hammer. Ratchet was taking the unknown femme to the medic-bay...so that was full...

"We'll take her to my room," Wave said, referring to the sparkling. Red Alert nodded as they walked to her room, Cailey, Candy, Fern, Elita One, Sari and Charlotte followed them.

Wave rested Buzz on her berth as Red Alert got out her scanner.

"Wait," Charlotte said, grinning. "I can use my key!" Red Alert smiled and helped Charlotte up to the berth as the key glowed. Charlotte walked up to Buzz, the sparkling winced, but allowed Charlotte to get closer. Charlotte stood on the tips of her toes and inserted the key inside, once a key whole had appeared. Suddenly, as Charlotte took the key out, Buzz's injuries started to heal. Charlotte stepped back as the sparkling began to stand up-but it fell back down on its aft. Everyone laughed as Buzz looked around, confused. "That's cute!" Candy cooed. Buzz glanced at Candy-and saw something else.

She saw the Ironoide Candy.

"Buzz-buzz?" Buzz chriped, as if it was a question. Candy blinked at Buzz, only getting a blink in response. "Huh," Wave said, "looks like buzz is all...Buzzcan say." Red Alert nodded. Buzz just sat there, confused, why did Rave suddenly seem younger from this angle? "Wave," Cailey said. "Mm?" Wave said. Wave? Buzz thought. I thought Mommy's name was Rave! It all just confused her. Cailey pointed at Buzz's optics. "She has your optics."

"What?" Wave blinked and looked at Buzz's optics-and almost lost her breath. Buzz...had Wave's optic colour. It was a little lighter but it was exactly the same. Wave leaned closer to Buzz and saw some facial features Wave had...

"Oh, my Iceiss," Wave gasped, optics widening. Suddenly, she felt a bond. A...sisterly bond. "What?" Fern asked. Wave looked at everyone, the look of shock and slight fear was on her face plate.

"This is my sister."

DUNDUNDUN! Well, this was actually gonna be a BIT longer but I REALLY wanted to post this. Anyways, next one will be when the 'mysterious-femme' wakes up and...kinda freaks out. But sees Wave and stops. Wait. Why am I giving you spoilers? You should be reviewing! DX
