Title: Messages from the grave!
Chapter 3 - Am I dreaming?
'...blah...' normal talking.
'...'blah'...' ghost talking/flashback talking
Note: No connection of this chapter to 'Black and White Autobot family'!
Autobot headquarters...
Stealth arrived, exactly on time to meet Rodimus and Kup at the entrance.
'Any signs of Decepticons?' Kup asks.
'Negative sir. No sign of any signature similar to the search of Primus' signature!' Stealth replied.
'That's good new. No sign of Decepticons everyone.' Rodimus walks in and tells the team.
Stealth looks at Kup. 'You think Jazz hates me?'
'What? Jazz? He's everyone's friend. No one hates him. Why do you say that kid?' Kup replies.
'Well yesterday when I talked to Bluestreak, he seemed to glare at me the whole time, and when I past his room, he had his headphones on with loud music, not even to look at me.'
'Look,' Kup said. 'Jazz has seen the war, experienced it, felt it and dealt it, and sometimes he becomes protective and wary of strangers. You've been around longer than he has. He's just wary of you. Try talking to him, get to know each other. You two might have lots in common.'
Stealths watches Kup walk in, and his smiles. 'Talking to the best BEST friend of Prowl will be easy.'
Jazz was tired and so had fallen into recharge, on his desk?
He wasn't wary of footsteps approaching, and stayed sleeping.
The door opens, no one there. The footsteps get closer and closer to him, but he still sleeps. A shadow looms over him, then disappears instantly.
Jazz was dreaming.
Jazz looks around at the houses on Cybertron, he sees Proton's home in flames, a dark figure runs away from the scene.
Then he finds himself on Earth, at the bottom of the sea. He sees the sunken ships by the Bermuda Triangle, he sees the same dark figure at the surface blasting a ship, watching it sink.
Then he's in complete darkness, and sees Prowl infront of him.
'Prowl?'
Prowl holds his hand up, and beckons to Jazz. Then Jazz sees the bubbles rise, meaning he was in water. He reckonizes that he's in Cybertron's lake. He tries swimming forward, but couldn't.
Prowl is still beckoning to him to come, but Jazz couldn't find himself moving.
Then a black hole appears. Jazz finds himself in space, floating away from Cybertron. He sees the black hole, going towards Cybertron.
'No...' he said.
He watches as Cybertron becomes engulfed by the black hole. It turns towards him. Jazz turned around, seeing Moon Base 1 behind him.
'No!' he screams as the black hole comes towards him.
He cowers, but feels nothing.
When he opened his optics he found himself in darkness again.
'Jazz...' a voice whispered.
Jazz looked towards the direction of the sound, but he can hardly see anything around him.
Then Prowl appears again.
'Prowler! What is happening?' Jazz shouts at him.
'Your dream. You control what you see. Don't fear him!' Prowl responds.
'Fear who Prowler? Tell me!'
Jazz watches as Prowl's optics glowed bright red, and he changes into Steal-Thind.
'You!' Jazz screams at him.
Steal-Thind draws a sword.
'No...' Jazz flinches.
Steal-Thind launches forward at him.
'NO!'
Jazz shoots up awake, seeing Bluestreak infront of him, falling backwards as he shot up.
'Whoa there Blue. What you up to?'
'Sorry Jazz. Stealth saw you thrashing about, and thought you were in need of help, so he called me to come have a look.'
'And Stealth?'
'He took off for another duty to take since you wouldn't wake up.'
'Blue?' Jazz signs. 'Do you see Stealth as a friend?'
Bluestreak was taken aback by Jazz's question. 'Why do you ask? He's done nothing wrong?'
'I know. Just wondering. Is he a good friend?'
Bluestreak blinked. 'Yeah. He's kind, very thoughtful and listens to me when I need someone to talk to.'
'But... ya use to come to meh Blue.'
'Sorry...' He looks at the papers. 'What are these?'
'I found them in Prowler's desk.'
'Why were you going down bro's property?' Bluestreak asks Jazz, sounding quite angry.
'Blue! I saw Prowler. In his office. Looking back at me. He showed meh this work. What I wanna know is why is Prowler going through reports of convicted criminals?'
Bluestreak stepped back, on the verge of tears. 'Bro wouldn't hide this. Leave me alone!' he screamed before running out the room.
Jazz slumped back on the chair, holding his head in his hands.
Bluestreak ran down the corridor, almost bumping into Stealth.
'Blue my friend? What's wrong?' he asked.
'Jazz! He said my twin brother hid stuff and was going through reports of convicted criminals!' Bluestreak burst into tears.
Stealth comforts Bluestreak and smiles. 'Now I know where to find those reports, and the secret of the weapon.' he thinks to himself.
'Do you want to tell someone about it?' Stealth asks.
Bluestreak shakes his head. 'No. Jazz probably dreamt the whole thing in his nightmare.'
Stealth smiled. All according to plan now. Bluestreak forgives him, now I know where to get those codes!
'But... Jazz said he also saw Prowl. Like a ghost, in his old office... before he passed. Said he saw Prowl in the small mirror near the data cabinets.' Bluestreak added.
Stealth flinched. 'Prowl's gone. He won't be coming back Bluestreak. He'll watch over you from the matrix.'
Bluestreak nodded in agreement.
Jazz shook his head. He couldn't believe he did that to Bluestreak, made him upset. Would Prowl forgive him?
A faint mist appears infront of Jazz, and he looks up.
A strong force blows the mist away, leaving Prowl standing there.
'Prowler? Forgive me!' Jazz begs.
'I do.'
Jazz nodded. 'Why are you returning? You should be resting in peace in the matrix with everyone else?'
'Jazz. You should know why dead comrades return instead of leaving their home forever!'
Jazz thinks back to the lessons taught in the academy about those who passed on to the matrix to meet Primus. 'You business is unfinished.'
'Yes. I do have unfinished business here. Which is why I will not leave here, ever!'
'But why? What haven't you finished?'
Prowl flinches at the sound of footsteps approaching and he disappears.
Stealth walks into view. 'You really upset Bluestreak! You know that! His poor processor knowing what his twin was up to. Be ashamed!' and he walks back the way he came.
Jazz couldn't help punch the wall. Instead of hearing the crackling of the wall as he would do when punching a brick wall, he only hears glass smashing. He flinches, and looks back at punch mark.
Pulling away the pieces, he realized he smashed into the wall between his and Prowl's room where his desk was. What he saw, shock him.
He saw some wiring of different colours, and a small key. Managing to reach the key, he notices the end has a small over shape. He remembers the holes behind Prowl's mirror. Then he remembered the wall behind Prowl's desk. He had a potrait of him and his family when he and Bluestreak were born. Prowl said he had kept a safe hidden, it was behind the picture! Jazz realized he has smashed the outer case of the safe, and inside was the key to another safe behind the mirror.
He hears more footsteps, quickly covers the hole with a portrait of his dad in the academy, and hides the key in his secret compartment in his desk.
Bluestreak was the one who came into view.
'Jazz... sorry about the outburst earlier. Can you forgive me?'
'Sure Blue.' Jazz replied. He didn't want to mention to Bluestreak that Stealth had said those nasty things to him about really upsetting him and being in horror about knowing this secret about his brother. It sounded like Stealth had said Bluestreak didn't want to talk to him again. 'I'm sorry too Blue.'
'That's fine. Hey, wanna game of battleships?'
'You're on!' Jazz replied immediately taking on his challenge.
Stealth was outside the door, listening, and he grew a temper.
He fled to his chamber, and when in his chamber (Prowl's old office), he punched the portrait of Prowl and his family, knocking it off the wall. There, he catches the safe.
He gleamed in evil. But the combination, he didn't know! He worked out Prowl would've kept a key in the safe, that would lead to this weapon! He just needed the combination!
That's the next chapter complete. Going really quick with this. So Prowl had revealed something, and is appearing frequently.
Stealth is trying to ruin Jazz and Bluestreak's friendship! But why?
