Hey people!

SO SORRY!! It took me so long to update. I hit a bit of a dry spell unfortunately but now I'm back!! From now on, there is going to be a new chapter every week with 2000 words or more in each chapter!

I have been getting a lot of complaints of short chapters so I have decided to write them longer BUT that means it will take longer for me to update sorry! But I promise to work real hard on each chapter with my lovely Betas! 3

Have fun reading! 3

--Part 13 Fire in the Sky--

--Starscream--

The sound of a jet streaking threw the atmosphere speeding through the cold winter air, the sound of multiple sonic booms in its wake. Was the only noise that was to be heard throughout the November cold night. The jet easily flew under the radar-undetected invisible to earth made scanners.

Such a feat would have been impossible had this been another Earth jet. But this was no common Earth jet. There was no other jet alike this flyer this was a Cybertronian jet. Who went by the designation of Starscream.

A loyal solider of the Decepticon army and one of the last seekers that few mechs would ever trust willingly. Well…most sane mechs at least.

Starscream had returned to Earth to locate the Autobots and certainly not for the reasons one would expect for a loyal and faithful soldier of the Decepticons. But as said before he never had been a mech that one would trust.

He had left Earth only a Deca-cycle ago to contact his fellow Decepticons on the Decepticon ship named the Nemesis and tell them of their almighty Megatrons' death. He had planned to take his rightful place as leader of the Decepticons and it hadn't quite worked out the way he had planned.

It had turned out very very wrong.

He had gotten there only to discover that not only was Megatron alive but with a completely different alt mode and demanding to be called Galvatron. Megatron or Galvatron as he called himself had declared Starscream a traitor and had been almost killed before he had been able to escape into space. The fact he had his wings still was a miracle in on itself.

He was only glad his fellow wing mates, Thundercracker and Skywarp, had been still wounded from an earlier battle with the Autobots and unable to join him in his journey. He had found an abandoned factory in a stroke of luck in the middle of the mountains and it seemed so far to be a very good place to set up base.

Had they had gone with him they surely wound have been captured, heavily damaged or worse...offline. He couldn't stand to lose them not now not ever. They were the only ones that could keep him from insanity. Megatron had thought his virus had consumed Starscream long ago but was wrong. The bond of wing mates protected him from the madness that plagued many.

It was the reason Seekers were the only kind of Cybertronian who did not fall into madness at the death of a Sparkmate. Many mechs went mad and offlined themselves from the sorrow of losing a mate.

The two seekers had only succeeded in keeping him from the brink of madness by holding onto the wingmate bonds they had forged as younglings as tightly as possible. As it was, his CPU was heavily damaged and he was very mentally unstable. Prone to odd trips of insanity, he would sometimes start laughing maniacally at what appeared to be nothing at the most random of times.

Like when he was in recharge…

He had scared quite a few mechs in the past when he had suddenly burst into a maniacal fit in the middle of a recharge (sleep for oblivious people). Which wasn't a good thing considering Decepticons did not have much in the way of sanity or anger management. As such, the mechs tended to be a bit…touchy when awoken early from a recharge. Touchy meaning that they would go into a full outrage and start attacking the first mech they set their optics on.

As such he wasn't a well-liked mech on the Decepticon base.

Starscream dipped his nose a little to the left angling himself to be closer to the ground lowering his descent. When his communications array picked up a weak frequency. In interest he locked onto it to listen to the broadcast. It seemed to be registered to communicate over all Cybertronian frequencies.

He opened the channel.

If any one had seen the jet in the sky they would have been alarmed when they saw the engines soundly fail and the jet suddenly plummet toward the ground.

--Back at the base with Prowl—

Prowl sipped his energon as he sat in his office slouched over the desk. Reports scattered across the desk being neglected for a much needed energon break. He just knew they were up to something and it was only a matter of time before he caught them. Then they would see then. They would all see-

He paused mid sip maybe he was being paranoid….nah… it was the twins after all.

Prowl was beginning to wonder if he would have been better off just tossing them all into the brig.

After all his work to separate the three they had finally met. He had spent hours changing schedules and arranging activities to keep the twins occupied and away from him. Only for all his hard labor to end up being in vain. Jazz had introduced them to him INTRODUCED THEM!! The traitor as he had taken to calling him had just walked up and introduced Miles to the Twins.

After all the planning to keep them separate he had introduced them.

Prowl hadn't talked to Jazz for three Earth days and had been be seen stalking through out the base passing like a watchdog. Red Alert had even gone up to him and asked if he wanted to go to the Medbay. Red Alert of all mechs had been concerned with Prowls' mental state.

It had been two weeks.

TWO WEEKS!! Since the Twins had been introduced to Miles and nothing had happened yet. Prowls battle computer was working full time and he was twitching every time he so much as saw them in the hall. As if that wasn't enough Sam and Bumblebee kept on disappearing all the time.

The door to his office slid open revealing Jazz, who was poking his head in, his faceplates shifted into a smile as he saw him. Prowl didn't have time to brace himself as he suddenly was tackled by Jazz. The combined force of gravity and Jazz's momentum sent them crashing to the floor. Reports scattered across the floor and energon spilt everywhere.

Prowl gave his Sparkmate a light whack on the head. Who only smirked back at Prowl, wiping some energon off Prowls' faceplates. "Ya know Prowl, you're kind of tasty. Maybe I should have you for dinner".

Prowl smirked back and opened his mouth to reply. When there was a sudden crashing noise down the hall and the sound of the twins and Miles laughter. "I KNEW IT WAS YOU SLAGGERS! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS!!" roared Prowl.

--Jazz--

Before Jazz could so much as blink an optic he was on the floor and his mate was already out the door. He got up and ran to follow him and came to a most interesting scene.

Ratchet was lying down on the ceiling.

Jazz paused, now how in Primus did the twins accomplish that!? He looked in the direction his mate had gone chasing after the twins and Miles. Yelling Cybertronian curses while dodging any unfortunate Autobot or solider walking by at the time.

Jazz turned back to Ratchet. "So how do you suppose we get you down Ratchet? I think I could get Wheeljack down here. He said he had a new chemical he'd like to test out."

Ratchets' growled face set into a scowl. "I'm not being a test subject for one of Wheeljacks' inventions! I really don't have the urge to blow up at the moment. I'd rather be strangling those slagger's heads!" Ratchet made a strangling motion with his hands to demonstrate his point.

"Ya know Ratchet, you never should have given them any ideas. All you ever do is threaten to weld their afts to the ceiling. Makes me wonder if you have inspired any other of their pranks in the past." Jazz muttered at the end of his sentence thoughtful look on his faceplate.

Ratchet froze.

A look of dawning horror finding its way on his faceplates.

--Starscream--

They looked down upon Skyfires' face; it had been so long since he had seen his sparkmate. He had thought him dead. Lost long ago before the war had ever been anticipated. So many centuries he had spent alone with out his sparkmate… but here he was, lying before him cradled against his chest plate.

Starscream paused from rocking back and forth with his mate cradled close to him. Feeling almost like he would lose his mate once again if he let him go. It had been so very long since he had felt his spark so close to his own. What would Skyfire think of him now? He had changed in the many years his mate had been lost. He had killed and done horrible things in the war.

What would Skyfire think of him now?

Would he be angry with him, would he hate him? His hands clenched around his Sparkmate instinctively. He wouldn't lose Skyfire again. It would be too much for him to handle and would surely kill him to lose his Sparkmate once again.

He looked up into the optics of his two wing mates. Who stared at him silently, trusting him to know what to do. Trusting him to be their leader and keep them alive and safe. They trusted him with all their burning sparks. They had missed Skyfire; as well the bonds of wing mates were strong. A seeker trusted his wing mates with his spark.

They had flown a broken flight pattern throughout the entire war refusing to let another in Skyfires' place. Skyfires' place would have always remained empty because only Skyfire belonged there. Seekers only trusted few and whom they did trust they would risk their lives for.

They could only hope that Skyfire would still trust them. Despite how they had changed do to the war. They hoped that he could forgive them for all they had done. They needed him too. All throughout their lives, he had been their voice of reasoning. The one to hold them throughout the night. The one that made them feel truly whole.

When Skyfire had been lost, he had left a large hole in their sparks.

The sound of air flowing through intake vents sharply drew Starscreams' attention back to his Sparkmate. Optics shutters fluttered rapidly and his chest arched slightly from the ground. Skyfire let out a weak moan and his optics came online. The blue optics brightening and dimming showed just how low he was on energy.

Starscream felt his Spark pulse as Skyfire looked at him turning his head weakly. Behind him Skywarp and Thundercracker tensed. "Sta…st..Starsc…ream.." Skyfire whispered weakly through his half frozen vocal processor. "So..s..o…c..c..cold" he shuttered, clutching weakly at Starscream.

Thundercracker shuffled forward and knelt down next to Skyfire and clutched one of his hands in his own. Skywarp clung to Thundercrackers' arm as he gazed at Skyfires' optics, not leaving his form. A small part of them thought that this couldn't be happening. That Skyfire would disappear and leave them again.

Starscream laid a hand on Skyfires' chest, casting diagnostic scans on Skyfires' half frozen form. Being in the ice for so long had damaged many of his main circuits. Skyfire was half delirious and was in danger of going into stasis lock and not coming out. Being as damaged as he was, they had to wait for more of his systems to heat up and come online before even attempting to move him.

"I'm right here Skyfire," whispered Starscream quietly clutching his Sparkmate close and turning his heaters up a notch Thundercracker and Skywarp did the same. Skyfires' optics offlined not having enough energy to keep them online for long. "You l...look dif…ffferent", Skyfire whispered, shifting slightly, optics roaming over his larger form.

Starscream tensed and Skyfire continued his vocal processor, warming up as he used it more. "It looks good on you… though Star". Star, Skyfires' endearment for him. None would have known that except for the seekers present. Skyfire moan in pain as some of his circuits shorted. The water hitting some of his exposed wires was painful. "How long was I out for? Feels like I...I. was hit by an asteroid, ..ugh..this hurts." Skyfires' optics flickered online again.

"The last thing I remember we where flying over a…and then…and then. White crystallized water falling from the sky rapidly. Too much…wind…interference then those eyes. Red eyes laughing and claws coming toward… so much pain and falling…then cold. So very cold…" Skyfire looked up then at Starscream.

"You came for me", he whispered, faceplates shifting into a smile. Starscream felt his spark soar into happiness at the sight. His sparkmate was smiling at him. He was!! His happiness was to at very long last. Though Skyfires' body convulsed, his systems unable to take the strain to remain online any longer.

Skyfire fell into stasis lock optics dimming and going dark.

Starscream clutched Skyfire close, his whole frame shuddering. His Spark contracting in fear for his mate. He turned to his wing mates who were staring at him. Skywarp was crying into Thundercrackers' shoulder silently into his frame, as his intake vents struggled to take in air.

Starscreams' optics shuddered and opened the color morphing into a bright blue. The other two seekers did the same and ripped off the Decepticon insignias from their frames. Doing the same for Starscreams' wings, as he had Skyfire cradled in his arms.

Starscream looked at them "Thundercracker you located the Autobots new base right?", he whispered, as he lifted Skyfire into his arms "Yes, it will take us a while to get there from here though", whispered Thundercracker, looking up at Starscream from where he had been staring at Skyfire. Starscream shuddered once again, clutching Skyfire closer to his own battered and damaged frame.

"Take us to the base Skywarp", he whispered and Skywarp nodded. It was time Megatron, Galvatron or whatever he called himself now, to learn that you never mess with a Seeker.

Author Note

So yeah there's the chapter. I called it Fire in the Sky after the original episode where Skyfire was freed from the ice in the TV show.

Stay Tuned for the next chapter of Allspark Pfft...as if!

Please review and give LOTS of love to Betas!
