It had been a month since Ratchet had confirmed the fact that Lightstreak and Smokescreen would be expecting a sparkling in a few months. Considering it had been 4 or 5 earth months since the off-spring was sparked she had yet months to go. The sight of a bump had begun to show in her abdomen region. It brought attention of all kinds, which Lightstreak feeling joy. As she returned home, Lightstreak was met with an ecstatic Smokescreen.

"What is all this!?" She gasped as she entered the penthouse.

"Just thought I'd whip up some healthy food for us, and I don't mean me and you I mean us."

Lightstreak smiled and walked further into the home. Smokescreen walked up to the femme and wrapped his servos around her waist, as he kneeled down to touch the small little bump on his femmes abdomen, a small thump was felt in his spark.

"Did you feel that Light? It was a little thump in my spark!"

The femme reassured the worried mech that it was perfectly fine. Smokescreen stood up and kissed Lightstreak and turned back around to the stove.

Lightstreak went and sat on the couch, the day bearing down on her full force. Not to mention the new sparkling was draining tons of energy from her spark.

"Hey Smokescreen…"

"Hmm?"

"What should we name the sparkling?"

The mech stood still and silent, contemplating the question.

"For a mech, how about, Smokestreak. And for a femme we'll name her Lightscreen!"

The femme smiled agreeing with the ideas.

The couple finished the invigorating meal and headed to bed. As the two lay there a squirm could be felt inside the spark of both alpha and carri. Smokescreen rolled over and rubbed a servo over the protruding metal quietly calming the sparkling down, but as soon as he moved his servo, it began to squirm again.

"Hone I think you should sing…"

Smokescreen sighed and serenaded both sparkling and carri to sleep.

The next day Soundwave woke up in his berth alongside his sparkmate Firestarter. He sat up and walked into the control room a short distance from their room. As he walked in, he ejected each one of his "assistants". Ravage jumped out and followed him to the control computer in the middle of the room, and quietly lie down. Lazerbeak hovered above his helm doing small pieces of work such as security cameras, and returning messages. Rumble ran around the room extinguishing bits of energy as he went.

Soundwave decided to send out Lazerbeak to do security surveillance. The metal bird chirped an agreement as he zoomed out of a nearby window. Firestarter walked in a bit later.

"Greypipe is doing well; she is quietly sleeping in her crib with paco."

Soundwave was about to protest until he saw that Firestarter had rolled in the crib with her. They both knew that the young sparkling had a ancient gift of old, Mind Over Matter, and had to be observed at all times. Firestarter walked up to the silent mech, and gazed around.

"Where's Lazerbeak?"

"Surveillance…"

"Why, you never do that!?"

"Inquiry: evil is to take place today. Reasoning: A feeling in spark."

Firestarter nodded and began to work alongside the fast typing mech.

Lightstreak walked down the sidewalk towards the hospital, just as she did every day. Although today she was running a little late, she woke up feeling sick. She decided to take an alleyway to hasten her pace.

As she made her way down the alley, shadows fell over her, raising fear in her spark. She heard a cough come from somewhere behind her. Lightstreak turned and saw two red slivers of light.

"Who are you?" Lightstreak said pushing herself closer to the wall.

The mech chuckled; the devious laugh emitted from the direction of the hidden mech. Lightstreak kept backing up but suddenly hitting solid metal. She turned her helm back to see a large looming mech standing above her. Her optics shrunk, she tried to start running, but her arm was grabbed by the larger mech. Lightstreak began to squirm; she almost let out a scream but was muffled by a servo belonging to a former vehicon soldier.

The larger mech looked down at her with a lust filled glare, "What's wrong sweetspark? Don't you like me?"

Lightstreak began to squirm even more. But suddenly the disembodied voice presented itself.

"What are you doing all the way out here autobot?"

The mech stepped out of the shadows, his extremely large heels protruding ever so blatantly.

"You, you're the one who was in the med-bay with half your faceplate missing!" Lightstreak gasped.

"Yes, well, Let us try to forget about that. My name is Starscream, Ever since we have returned to Cybertron things have been running smoothly. Yet as I and my followers are aware, their needs to be a change in command."

Starscream continued bragging, boasting, everything he was known to do.

This continued for a few more minutes than all of a sudden, "STORMSHADE, KNOCK HER OUT!"

Lightstreak gasped as everything went dark, and right before she lost all feeling she could feel a cry of fear from Smokescreen and their unborn sparkling.

Lightstreak thought to herself, "What have I done to deserve this?!"

Lazerbeak buzzed over the downtown area of Cybertron's capitol. Where all of the big building could be found, as well as the capitol building where a certain Warlord and his grubby SIC resided. Lazerbeak quickly turned as the scream of metal triggered his sensors. He flew towards the alley where the sound had emitted, when he arrived he began to record for further investigation. What he saw was a young silver femme being man-handled by larger, meaner, deadlier mechs. Then an all too familiar voice enticed Lazerbeak to fly closer.

As he looked on, the SIC stepped forward, he circled the young femme bantering about overthrowing their leader. Lazerbeak arose further into the sky and blazed his way through the air to return to his master with the newly discovered information on disappearances of former autobots as well as the mech leading it all.

Lazerbeak zoomed back into the control room of his master's home scaring Firestarter as he entered.
"Lazerbeak: what have you uncovered?"
"Bebebebppfofjhhdhsfffwfdehwhdhidoi"
"inquiry: What is its importance?"
"Vgre imghfpwp!"

Lazerbeak lodged himself into the docking station on his master's chest, he quickly transferred itself into Soundwave's data-banks. As soon as the security feed had filed through Soundwave gestured towards Greypipe and Firestarter

"Order: Bring Greypipe, and follow!"

Firestarter nodded and grabbed their offspring running towards the open window and transformed as they reached the outside. Firestarter followed a quick Soundwave towards the middle of the city, towards Megatron's citadel. "Soundwave what must you tell Megatron!" The mech stayed silent as they continued on wasting no time reaching it. When they arrived Soundwave transformed and ran towards the throne room of the citadel, where he found an anxious Megatron.
