Long time now see! Sorry for the long wait! Jazzilynn Hall had a good guess and idea of what was going to happen! Enjoy.

Prowl's View:

I had been sent to my room until we could find out what happened to my creator. Jazz was currently sitting on my berth looking up files concerning murders in Praxus. So far noting had come up.

"Prowl, what was your creators name?" Jazz asked as he continued to look through the data pad.

"Nautica." I said sadly. I remembered her as a kind and loving bot. She was a quantum mechanic by trade but loved learning about, well everything. "She was…I loved her." I sighed.

"Baby, I'm sorry…" Jazz said, looking up from the pad at me. "I know it must have been hard losin' her like that." He smiled sadly at me and motioned for me to come sit by him.

"I can't. Those files are for Elite Guard optics only." I said, turning back to look at the small bird in the cage. It was doing better and was ready to be set free. I was waiting to do it with Starlit but now…

"Found something!" Jazz called. "There's a file on a fembot found offline in Praxus." He said sitting up again. "Prowl, I need you to confirm it's her."

I balled my servos into fists, trying to stay calm. I took a deep breath before walking towards Jazz to look at the file. I sat down by him and looked down at the pad. Her form was grey but I knew it was her. "That's her…" I said sadly.

Jazz opened the file to read more about it. "Found at 0600 hours in her apartment, Nautica was found offline, severely beaten and…Prowl I don't have to continue." I shook my head and told him to continue. "'Ight, but it's not pretty. Found beaten and a single shot to the processor that killed her. There is no evidence of who the killer was. Her sparklin' Starlit is in the custody of the Elite Guard and is an optic witness. Pit, I told them to keep that out of there! Anyway, this happened while you were here on Earth. We can prove it with communication videos and data logs."

I just stared at the wall across from us in shock. Who could have done this? I didn't know any bot that could change form and imitate someone. Then again I got my hologram ability from my Sire. I wonder… "Jazz, is there any information on my Sire? His name is…Sideways."

"A Con?!" I sighed at Jazz's surprise.

"Yes, but he wasn't revealed as one till later in life." I shyed away. "I always knew something was off about him." Jazz nodded and looked him up.

"Not a lot of info on 'im. The picture though looks a lot like you. He's gold and black but you can't see his face." Jazz commented. "Looks like he was a ninja bot but was kicked out, he also has a alt form like you too. Not much else…" he trailed off.

"Mmmm…" I hummed. "I wonder where he is...Anyway, one more question, is there any way to find out who Starlit's Sire is?"

"Not without a data energon code. And even then, there are thousands of possible mechs that would have to be tested. Sorry Prowl, but it's nearly impossible unless the mech is already registered in the system."

"What system?" So there might be a slim chance.

"Well, when bots enter the academy they are all subjected to giving a sample of their RNA. We can try if you want." He smiled at me.

"If Starlit wants to yes. I just want to know…if there is a slim chance that my Sire is hers as well, then he might be after her."

"Why?"

"He's sadistic." I answered solemnly. "He chased after me for years. I have no idea why. I think he wanted someone to imprint upon."

I felt a servo wrap around my shoulders. "Man, you had it tough. But it's betta now. He'll never think to find either of ya here. And if he comes lookin' for ya, I'll be here to keep hi' at bay." His words were comforting but he was leaving in less than an Earth hour.

"Thank you Jazz." I turned to him, placing my servo on his upper leg. "But what about when you aren't here?"

"I'm just a call away." He placed his servo on my cheek, making me look up and kissed me.

We walked out of the room a few klicks later and found Optimus to explain what might be going on. We found him in the main room with Sentinel.

"Come on Jazz, we're leaving!" the blue and orange mech seemed to be in no mood for protests.

"'Ight, but just a nano klick. We found out it couldn't have been Prowl. Whoever Sta' saw in her memory bank wasn't him, dig. But who do we know that can change their form at will?" The ninja asked his superior.

"No known Autobot can do that." Sentinel snapped. "Research on your own time Jazz, come on!" he waved his hand in the air as he turned around and started walking out.

Jazz sighed. "I promise to dig more ok?" He said to me be for giving me one last kiss before having to run off.

Luckly Starlit had been in the room when Jazz explained everything. I hadn't notice that she was sitting on the couch until I turned that way too see two green optics peering over the back of the couch.

"Starlit." I said to her. She tilted her head, signaling she was listening. "You know I would never hurt our creator or any other bot right?" I asked her. She nodded, being weirdly silent about everything. "What's wrong?"

"I'm playing hide and seek with Bee." She whispered. "I know you wouldn't hurt any bot, but that bot for my memory…looked so much like you."

I smiled and was about to say thank you when a yellow blur ran into the room. "Ha! Found you! What a weak hiding spot…" Starlit stuck her glossa out at him and he did the same back.

I rolled my optics at their antics. It seemed everything was alright for the time being. I just hoped it would remain that way and nothing bad would happen.

Somewhere in Space:

The ship cabin was all dark, save for one computer being used. The bots colors were obscured and all could be seen was a silhouette from behind and golden servos near the screen. The mech using the computer was hacking into the Elite Guard files.

"Ah, there you are." It was a picture of Nautica's lifeless form. "My darling, how long has it been since we met? It seems like yesterday." The mech had an evil tone to his voice. "Now…I see my little spark is with the Guard." He typed in a few things and pulled up restricted files. "I see…Jazz. Took her too Earth? Where is that?" More typing. "I see. Took her to Optimus Primes team and…Prowl? Looks like I'll be paying my sparklings a visit." The light from the screen showed his white denta as he smiled evilly and set coordinates to Earth. The ship hummed to life, all lights coming back on. The mech laughed as the lights illuminated his gold and black form, his face obscured by a mask. "Time to reunite our little family."
