Mi-chan: So I decided to edit a lot of my writing since I noticed quite a bit of errors. It should look a lot neater this time around, so I hope you enjoy this more revised version of Solar Eclipse :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers Armada or its characters, Hasbro does. I do own my OC's though, so NO STEALING!

Chapter One:

The Days of Her Life

A Decepticon Soldier ran through the hallways of a hospital to get to a certain room.

When he came to the room he was looking for, he had to gather himself, sighing softly before he pushed past the doors, and walked into the room with a smile on his faceplates.

On the hospital recharge birth, was a Seeker Femme that held a sparkling, the sparkling fast asleep in its creator's arms.

The sparkling had the most beautiful coloring, the main color being navy blue and a midnight purple, accented with lavender and another color of blue that evened things out.

The Decepticon Soldier walked over to the side of recharge birth and gave his Sparkmate a kiss on the forehead.

"You're awfully late you know..." said the Seeker Femme with a pout.

"I know... The battlefield held me up Love, It couldn't be helped..." said the Mech.

"Well... I haven't named her yet..." said the Seeker Femme.

"So, it's a girl huh? Hm, well, I dunno... How about...Skyshadow?" suggested the Mech.

"Nah... How about... Hmmm... I know! How about Eclipse?" suggested the Seeker Femme excitedly.

"Why Eclipse instead of Skyshadow?" asked the Mech with a raised optical ridge.

The sparkling suddenly stirred and let out a yawn. She opened her sky blue optics and looked at her creators with curiosity and wonder.

"I dunno, I just like Eclipse better." said the Seeker Femme looking at her sparkling with kind optics.

The sparkling suddenly giggled and was reaching out toward her father. The Mech laughed and put his face down to her level. She suddenly grabbed his cheeks and began to feel her hands all over his face out of pure curiosity.

"Alright, whatever, Eclipse it is then..." said the Mech with a bit of a laugh.

The Seeker Femme smiled and watched Eclipse satisfy her curiosity.

***Three-Thousand Years Later***

On her recharge berth inside her room, Eclipse was coloring in her coloring book. But when her father entered her room, she suddenly looked up from her coloring book, and paid full attention to him.

"C'mon Eclipse, we're going into Autobot territory today. We need to get some Energon, and I'm not leaving you here by yourself..."

Eclipse got off of her recharge berth and followed her father through the house and out the front door.

As they walked through the Decepticon inhabited city, Eclipse's father, Solarflare, would get all kinds of compliments on how beautiful his child was and how captivating her optics were.

Eclipse wouldn't say anything every time a stranger would ask her a question, and her father would protectively pull her closer to him if the Mech or Femme who was asking Eclipse a question walked with them for too long.

They entered a shop and the store owner instantly smiled when they walked in.

"Well, if isn't Solarflare. I haven't seen you here in my shop for awhile...finally run out of all that Energon you smuggled from Autobot territory?" asked the owner with a mischievous smile.

"Yeah, me and Eclipse need a new paint job... Can you do it?" asked Solarflare.

"No problem. But, why are you taking your kid with you this time?" asked the owner.

"That's none of your concern Doublecross, we just need an Autobot paint job... Clear?" said Solarflare with a bit of irritation in his voice.

"Alright alright, no need to get so defensive... So, how do you want your little one to look?" asked Doublecross.

"No pink that's for sure... Hm... How about a light blue color to replace her lavender... Two different shades of just regular blue to replace the navy blue color... And white to replace the dark purple." said Solarflare seriously.

"Okay... Do you also want the Autobot Insignia on each of her Seeker wings?" asked Doublecross as he wrote down what Solarflare wanted his daughter to look like.

"Nah, she's not quite old enough for that kind of thing anyway... I doubt anyone would care." said Solarflare.

"Alright then... Do you need a fake ID for her?" asked Doublecross.

"Yeah, her name as an Autobot will be Saphire." said Solarflare.

"Okay, everything's all set. I just need to get a picture of Eclipse as Saphire once her paint job is done, and then I can create a fake ID." said Doublecross.

"And just the usual paint job for me. I want to look the same as last time." said Solarflare.

"Sounds good to me." said Doublecross as he finished writing some things down "I'll just go to the back and get things prepped for you both. I'll be right back." he said as he pulled back a curtain from behind the front desk and went to the back of the shop to get things set up.

Solarflare and Eclipse then decided to sit down in the small waiting area and wait until it was time to get their new paint jobs.

When they both sat down, Eclipse tapped her father's arm to get his attention.

"What is it hon'?" asked Solarflare, now paying full attention to his daughter.

"Will it hurt?" asked Eclipse in a small voice.

"Will what hurt?"

"The paint job..." she responded nervously.

Solarflare smiled and put his hand on the top of her helm "No Eclipse, it won't hurt one bit. So be good for Doublecross, alright?"

"Okay Daddy... I'll be good." said Eclipse as she grabbed his hand from on top of her helm to hold onto.

"That a girl." said Solarflare with a soft smile.

About ten minutes later, Doublecross was ready to apply the new paint onto Eclipse.

Eclipse went to the back of the shop, finding out when the paint was being applied that her father was right about it not hurting one bit.

When she stepped out to show her father her new paint job, she went to a nearby mirror and got a good look at her new self. She spun around slowly a few times in front of the mirror to get a better look at herself. Solarflare smiled, knowing she looked just as good as an Autobot than she did as a Decepticon.

"Alright, time for your picture." said Doublecross as he led her to a bare wall to lean against.

"Okay, just look at the camera." said Doublecross.

When Eclipse looked at the camera, her picture was instantly taken, and it was over.

"All done?" asked Eclipse as she looked from Doublecross to Solarflare.

"All done." said Solarflare.

"Now it's your father's turn." said Doublecross as he started to head to the back of the shop once again.

"Stay here and wait Eclipse. I should be out in no time." Solarflare said before he went to the back of the store to get his new paint job.

Eclipse nodded and went to sit on a bench in the waiting area.

When she sat down, she ended up getting right back up again to look at her reflection in the mirror. She spun around in front of the mirror a few more times as she observed more of her new paint job that she had missed before.

After that, she decided to look behind the front desk and see what she could find. She eventually found some Energon pops (similar to a lollipop, but for Transformers) and scooped some into her hand... But she was instantly caught in the act when Solarflare and Doublecross walked out from behind the curtain that led to the back of the shop.

"Eclipse... You're not supposed to steal from other Decepticons..." said Solarflare with a sigh.

"It's alright, she can have the whole jar if she wants it." said Doublecross with a chuckle.

Eclipse smiled a sheepish smile and hugged her father.

"Yeah yeah, you're just bein' a suck-up now..." laughed Solarflare.

Eclipse gave her father the cutest little evil smirk he had ever seen in his entire life after he had said that.

"She's defiantly your kid Solarflare." laughed Doublecross.

"I know, she get's that evil smirk from Aquamarine." said Solarflare proudly.

"Mommy?" asked Eclipse with curious optics.

"Yes little one, Mommy." Solarflare responded with a fond smile.

"Here's Eclipse's fake ID." said Doublecross as he grabbed Eclipse's newly printed fake ID out of a machine and handed it over to Solarflare.

Solarflare nodded and put the fake ID in his subspace. He then pulled some money out of his subspace, and handed it to Doublecross.

"Pleasure doing business with you as usual, Solarflare." said Doublecross

"You're forgetting something..." said Solarflare sternly, looking to Doublecross and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Mirror? Picture?" asked Eclipse pointing toward the mirror and the bare wall.

"No little one, he already knows what he looks like, and he already has a fake ID." chuckled Doublecross as he went behind the desk and got two necklaces with a Decepticon symbol on each one, as well as two bottles filled with some kind of chemical.

"You both need to wear these before you leave my shop so that you two will still have Decepticon energy signatures." explained Doublecross as he handed the necklaces over to Solarflare.

Eclipse blinked, she thought she already had a Decepticon energy signature...

"The paint on you and I have on right now gives off an Autobot energy signature Eclipse." said Solarflare putting the smaller necklace around her neck "That's why we wear these when we're in town or around other Decepticons... So that they'll know we're of the same faction and won't hurt us." he stated, now putting his own necklace on.

"And these two bottles are filled with a special chemical that washes the paint right off when you're ready to get rid of it, and the Autobot energy signature." Doublecross stated, handing both bottles over to Solarflare.

Solarflare put the bottles into his subspace.

"And, you don't want to forget this Eclipse." said Doublecross handing the small jar of Energon pops to Eclipse.

Eclipse's face lit up and she took the jar from Doublecross.

Solarflare said his thanks before he and Eclipse walked out of the store.

Eclipse smiled the whole way home.

***Later***

"C'mon Eclipse! We have to leave!" called Solarflare in his vehicle mode right outside of his family's house.

Eclipse came running outside with her box of crayons and coloring book. She hopped inside the open trailer that was hooked up to her father's vehicle mode, and closed the garage-like door of the long trailer behind her.

Soon enough, they were on their way toward the Autobot territory.

After hours of driving, Solarflare and Eclipse ended up at an entrance of one of the major Autobot cities. The security guards stopped them before they entered the city and scanned them to make sure they had an Autobot energy signature. Thanks to the paint on both his and Eclipse's bodies, and the ID's they carried as well, they were both granted access to enter the city.

Once in the city, they began to stock up on Energon that would last them for a very long time. And once they were done with that, Solarflare came across a park where younglings could play and instantly stopped near it. He detached the long trailer from his vehicle mode and transformed into his robot mode.

Solarflare walked to the door of the trailer and opened it to find Eclipse sitting on top of one of the very large Energon cubes, coloring in her coloring book.

"Hey hon', I have a surprise for you." he said with warm optics.

Eclipse instantly looked up, left her crayons and coloring book on top of the sealed Energon cube, got down from it, and got out of the long trailer.

When Eclipse had a good view of the outside and spotted a park, her optics instantly brightened, and she looked at Solarflare expectantly.

"You can go play... But don't forget your Autobot name." said Solarflare.

Eclipse laughed out of pure joy and hugged her father before running to the playground to play.

Solarflare smirked, locked the trailer, and went to a park bench to sit down. He watched Eclipse as she went down the slide over and over, and would climb on the jungle gym.

By the time she had started sitting on a swing, another youngling and his father had arrived at the park.

"Daddy, can I go play now?" asked the red and yellow youngling.

His father laughed "Yes, you can go play now."

"Yay!" shouted the red and yellow youngling as he happily ran to swings.

The red and yellow youngling's father went over to the park bench where Solarflare was sitting.

"Hi, is that little Seeker yours?" asked the red and yellow youngling's father as he sat down next to Solarflare.

"Yeah." said Solarflare without looking at the mech.

The red and yellow youngling stopped when he saw Eclipse barely swinging on a swing.

"Hi! My name's Hot Shot! What's your name?" asked the red and yellow youngling excitedly.

Eclipse looked up at him and said nothing.

"C'mon, you've gotta' have name right?" asked Hot Shot, now sitting on the swing next to hers.

"Saphire." Eclipse stated in a monotone manner.

"Saphire... That's a pretty name." said Hot Shot with a friendly smile.

"Really?" asked Eclipse with a slight blush.

"Sure!" said Hot Shot with a confident smile and a thumbs-up.

"Well... Hot Shot is a cool name too." said Eclipse softly and shyly.

"Really!?" asked Hot Shot excitedly.

"Sure..." said Eclipse softly.

"Hey, thanks! Do you wanna play catch the Autobot?"

Eclipse looked at Hot Shot with confusion.

"You do know what catch the Autobot is... Don't you Saphire?"

Eclipse just shook her head no.

"That's okay Saphire, I'll teach you then." said Hot Shot with a soft smile.

Eclipse was puzzled. Instead of making fun of her for not knowing what game he was talking about and calling her stupid like the few younglings she had played with back at her home town/city... He was nice about it, letting her know it was okay, and letting her know he was going to teach her how to play instead of belittling her about not knowing about it in the first place. Hot Shot was certainly a different youngling than what she was used to. Then again, he was an Autobot after all...

Hot Shot started explaining how the game worked and she listened intently. Eventually, they were playing the game, and she was having the time of her life.

"Sl-slow d-down..." panted Hot Shot as he tried to tag Eclipse.

Eclipse giggled at the fact that she had been 'it' first and now that she had tagged Hot Shot, he had a hard time keeping up with her.

"I give up!" said Hot Shot as he plopped himself down on the ground. "I'll be a Decepticon forever!"

Eclipse frowned at the fact that Hot Shot acted like being a Decepticon was a bad thing... But then again, Hot Shot was an Autobot...

Eclipse walked over to Hot Shot, laid down right next to him, and held his hand in hers.

"What're you doing?" asked Hot Shot, completely puzzled.

"Well... If we're holding hands... We'll both be 'it', and you won't have to be a Decepticon alone..." said Eclipse with a warm smile.

Hot Shot looked at her funny, but then started laughing "It's just a game Saphire."

"I know..." said Eclipse starting to blush.

"But...thanks." said Hot Shot as he looked up at the sky, starting to blush and squeeze her hand tighter.

Eclipse looked at Hot Shot and smiled... He was the nicest youngling she had ever met, and the closest thing to a friend she had ever had... Then again... He was an Autobot...

They laid there for quite awhile... That is, until Eclipse's father called for her.

"Saphire! Time to go!" called Solarflare.

Eclipse got up and helped Hot Shot up as well before they both walked over to their fathers.

"Hey Dad! This is my new friend, Saphire!" said Hot Shot introducing Eclipse to his father.

"Really now? It's nice to meet you Saphire." said Hot Shot's father as he smiled at her warmly.

Eclipse nodded.

"We better get going then Saphire." Solarflare stated in a monotone way.

"That's too bad you have to leave so soon Saphire..." said Hot Shot.

"Yeah..." Eclipse said softly.

"It was nice meeting you... But my daughter and I have to leave now." said Solarflare.

Solarflare offered his hand to Eclipse and she grabbed it. They both started walking toward the trailer... But suddenly, Eclipse remembered something and let go of her father's hand, running back to Hot Shot.

"Hm? What is it Saphire?" asked Hot Shot, blinking slightly in curiousity.

She suddenly took an Energon pop out of her subspace, grabbed Hot Shot's hand, and put the Energon pop in his hand.

"Huh? For me?" asked Hot Shot in surprise.

Eclipse nodded with a slight smile.

"Wow, thanks." smiled Hot Shot.

She nodded once more before she turned and ran back to her father who had already started hooking himself up to the long trailer.

When Solarflare was in his vehicle mode and all ready to go, she was getting inside the trailer when she heard Hot Shot say goodbye...

"Goodbye Saphire! I hope we meet again!" called Hot Shot with a smile as he waved goodbye.

Eclipse smiled and climbed into the trailer, closing the door behind her.

***One-Thousand Years Later***

By the time Eclipse was four years old, she had completely forgotten about Hot Shot, and was, of course, back to her normal paint job.

It was in the middle of the day, and Eclipse was in her room trying to build the Decepticon Palace out a bunch of different building blocks her mother, Aquamarine, had bought for her recently.

Before long, her mother arrived home from the battlefield, Eclipse hearing the front door open and then close shut in the process.

Eclipse instantly got up, walking out of her room and toward the front door.

Aquamarine noticed Eclipse coming toward her and instantly smiled.

"Hi mommy." Eclipse greeted her mother, giving her a hug.

"Hi sweetie." Aquamarine smiled, kneeling as she kissed Eclipse lightly on the forehead.

"Hey hon'." Solarflare greeted his mate as he walked into view, tenderly kissing his sparkmate on the lips for a moment when she had stood up.

"You're in a good mood today~." said Aquamarine, looking into her sparkmate's optics dreamily.

"Don't you remember what today is?" asked Solarflare smirking.

Aquamarine chuckled "I know, the day our little Seeker Femme gets her Decepticon mark."

"Mark?" asked Eclipse innocently.

Aquamarine picked up her child "Yes dear. Today you become an official Decepticon." she said proudly.

Eclipse snuggled into her mother and took in her smell. This was going to be a day to remember...

Aquamarine gently stroked her daughter's helm as Eclipse continued to snuggle.

Solarflare put his arm around his two Femmes "Well, we better be on our way to the Decepticon Palace." he smiled softly.

Eclipse was placed back on the ground before the family left the house, holding both of their hands as they headed into the city.

***Later***

They had finally ended up at the Decepticon Palace, the guards smirking at Eclipse when they saw her fast asleep in her father's arms, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Taking your little one to see Megatron are you?" asked one of the guards as the family approached them.

"Yes, today she gets her Decepticon Insignia." said Solarflare.

"Go ahead in." said the other guard, before he signaled another Decepticon to open the gates.

Two enormous gates opened up and the family walked inside the palace walls.

As they were being escorted to the throne room, Eclipse suddenly woke up. When she realized where she was, she got Solarflare's attention, and he put her down, letting her walk the rest of the way with them.

When they arrived at the entrance of the throne room, Eclipse sensed a nervous vibe coming from her father, even more so than her mother, as the doors opened up to reveal the great Decepticon Tyrant himself. The great Tyrant sat upon his throne, listening as another family gave their thanks for bestowing a Decepticon Insignia upon their child before they were gone from his sight.

As Eclipse's family approached the throne of Megatron, she could swear when Megatron saw her, his demeanor changed, seemingly more interested in what her family had to say. Maybe it was Eclipse's optics that captivated him so...

Solarflare and Aquamarine knelt down on one knee, looking to the floor. Eclipse being the only one left standing, looking into the eyes of the Great Decepticon Tyrant.

"Lord Megatron, we have come to ask that you bestow the Decepticon Insignia upon our child, Eclipse..." said Solarflare with great respect.

Megatron smirked an evil, but pleased grin. He was more than honored to bestow a Decepticon Insignia on such a beautiful child.

"Come, Eclipse." Megatron commanded.

Eclipse, without question, walked up the stairs to Megatron's throne.

As she stood before him, he got up off of his thone, kneeling on one knee "This is going to hurt, but it is a great honor." Megatron stated, looking directly into Eclipse's optics.

Eclipse nodded in understanding, Megatron's hand starting to glow, a purple sphere appearing in his hand once he knew she understood what would take place. Quickly, he gently thrusted the glowing purple sphere into the middle of her chest, Eclipse not saying anything in the process.

Megatron was surprised she didn't scream, shout, or even make a sound. All she did, was clench both fists as hard as she could muster, her face squinting slightly, quivering with discomfort.

When the glowing purple sphere faded away, he removed his hand off of the middle of her chest. Her chest now held a Decepticon Insignia for all to behold.

Data had streamed into her mind as questions as to where her loyalties lied were soon answered, and she soon understood that only Megatron, and him alone, was her Lord and Master above all.

Eclipse bowed and turned to leave...but Megatron put a hand on her shoulder, and she stopped in her tracks.

"Wait, I want to give you something..." Megatron said as he took something out of his subspace.

Eclipse turned around to see that a small gun that had the Decepticon insignia on it was in Megatron's hand, and she took it out of his hand.

"Keep this with you at all times, and if you are ever in danger... Fire this at the enemy." said Megatron in almost a whisper.

Eclipse nodded, put the small gun in her subspace, and bowed once more. Megatron smirked and nodded in response before standing up, going back to sit down on his throne.

Eclipse and her family soon went back home and her parents couldn't stop talking about what had happened. They couldn't believe that Megatron himself had given Eclipse her very first weapon! They were so proud of her. She had not even made a sound when Megatron had bestowed the great Decepticon Symbol upon her.

Eclipse couldn't stop outlining the Decepticon insignia on her chest with her finger. She was so fascinated by it for some reason. And every so often, she would take out the small handgun that Megatron had given her to give it a good look-over before putting it back into her subspace.

Eclipse later ended up in her room again, finishing up the rest of the Decepticon Palace she had started on before she had left the house, marveling at her work when it was done. She smiled a small smile before drifting into recharge on the floor next to her Decepticon Palace, falling into pleasant dreams.

Solarflare and Aquamarine had walked in soon after to tell her it was time to go to bed, but laughed softly whem they found her on the floor in deep recharge. Solarflare carried her to her recharge birth before they both kissed her goodnight, and left Eclipse's room.

***Later that night***

Eclipse suddenly awoke to a crashing sound coming from the living room, and sat straight up in her bed.

"You idiot! Do you want to wake them up!?" said a unknown voice in a harsh whisper.

Eclipse suddenly got out of her bed and peeked through the crack of her slightly open door.

She saw two Autobots sneaking around in the living room, heading straight toward her creators' room.

She dimmed her optics a little so that they notice her so easily and silently followed them some few feet away.

It wasn't long before she saw them go into her creators' room, silently close the door behind them, and lock it.

Eclipse, in a panic, ran over to the door and tried to open it, but to no avail. Soon after, she heard a "Hey!" from her father, and scream for her mother.

"Hands against the wall! MOVE!" said one of the Autobots in the room.

"Autobot scum! You DARE enter MY home!?" said Solarflare with fury.

"I could care less about that Decepticreep! Your sparkmate has something of importance to the Autobots!" said the other Autobot in the room.

"Good! I hope she keeps it!" retorted Solarflare.

A clash of metal was heard, and Eclipse heard her father hit the floor roughly.

"That...was for your smart mouth Deceptiscum!" said one of the Autobots.

Eclipse heard her father spit, and get up off of the floor.

"Now, tell us...Aquamarine... Where's the disk you stole from Autobot headquarters!?" demanded the Autobot who had hit Solarflare.

"If you think I'll tell YOU where it is... You're DEAD wrong!" said Aquamarine, as if to spit in the Autobot's face.

Eclipse then heard another clash of metal, and heard her mother hit the floor.

"THAT'S IT!" shouted Solarflare as he dove for a gun that lied under his bed, suddenly firing the weapon at one of the Autobots.

Immediately after, shots rang out and Eclipse ran to her room as various shots tore through different walls and doors. She ran into her closet and closed the door, shaking in fear.

About ten minutes later, the shots had ceased and Eclipse peeked out of her closet and snuck out of her room.

She dimmed her optics a bit and snuck back toward the now blown open door to her creators' room.

When she looked into the room...

What she saw...

Was devastating...
