Sister of the Transformers

Son of Prime

*Time for a new change of view! This time we're heading over to Cybertron!*
Okay so I finally got the mike from Nina! Took a lot of begging, pleading, and tons of Earth treats to get her from using Wheelie on me.
Hello everyone, my name is Rodimus Prime! I know what you're thinking...sort of. Humans are an interesting species to study and have fun with. Why would you get rid of drive-in movie theaters though? Those places are fun!
I'm getting side-tracked now. So like Nina explained last chapter, this isn't your average Transformers story. This is a tale about an orphan and her adventures with her newest friends. Friends like me, the awesome Prime of the Lost Light crew! We fly around, beating up bad guys, and saving planets from chaos. We're kind of a big deal!
Never heard of us? Never heard of me? I can see why Nina tells me that humans can be a bit slow. Allow me to go back in time for a minute and show you how I came to be.
It all started when my sire and carrier gave birth to the best sparkling of all time! Who's is my sire? He is no other than-

"Optimus! It's time!"
The day had started relatively normal in Cybertron. The entire planet had been renovated and renewed after the Omega Lock fixed the whole planet. More Cybertronians began to pop out of the Well of AllSparks after Primus started it up again. With the more Cybertronians coming back, that meant the entire species itself was reborn. And with it came the desire to raise children just like the women warriors that helped bring their species back to life. The Drake women were praised for their services and spoken about as legends on Cybertron. A book was written by Optimus Prime himself that gave a detailed account of her life and the stories of their time on Earth. Optimus was left in charge of Iacon, improving the system of the council, and allowing all lifeforms to live together. Ratchet and Knockout had gone out to form the new medical academy and became the planet's greatest doctors. Starscream went back to Vos to help the seekers gain flight once more. Dreadwing went back with him to make some new flying warriors. Soundwave worked with Megatron in Kaon, bringing along his "children" to make the place a safer environment. Megatron also took his leadership job carefully, always discussing plans with the other leaders. Bumblebee finally graduated from a Scout and was now leading his own team alongside Smokescreen who grew out of his jokester years and became more responsible. Breakdown and Bulkhead finally made amends enough to build their own school for Wreckers, Wheeljack joining in on this. Ultra Magnus had to keep a lookout for them as he helped Optimus at the capital. Shockwave got his own lab in Kaon and enlisted the Vehicon triplets to help him with his experiments which helped the planet out. Sometimes he made some fresh pastries for breakfast and enjoyed a cup of tea as well. Arcee was retired, but sometimes worked as a bodyguard for Optimus on her spare time. She also lead the all femme squad consisting of Elita-1, Chromia, and Moonracer. Speaking of Elita-1, she managed to catch the eye of the Prime and they eventually got married. Predaking grew to be a great leader of the now revived race of Predacons. They now lived in the outer reaches of Cybertron where they could be as rough as they wanted to. Sometimes he would roar to the skies though, missing his beloved mother.
All in all, life couldn't be better. And it was about to get better...
"Man, I can't believe Optimus is having a kid!" Smokescreen said, giddy about another little brother to hang out with. "Penny would be so proud of him!"
"I'm just hoping he'll be as respectful and kind as Optimus otherwise we get another you." Ultra Magnus grumbled, making the young soldier yell at him.
"Hey I can be respectful and charming too! I am the most kindhearted bot you all know!" He rebutted, grinning. "Besides Bee and I will be the best big brothers ever!" He clapped a hand on the bot's shoulder. "Right Bee?"
"Certainly, I will train him with the upmost respect for Cybertronian training." Bee said, puffing his chest out with pride.
"You sound just like Prowl. Man that guy has a stick up his-" Bulkhead started to say before the doors busted open to reveal the rest of the Decepticon family.
"I heard my nephew or niece was coming." Megatron said, his faceplate happy. "I knew he or she would come sooner or later!"
"Soundwave: Happy to see new addition to the family." Soundwave said, Laserbeak perched on his shoulder while Ravage curled up on his side.
"How come I couldn't deliver the sparkling? I'm a certified practitioner like Ratchet!" Knockout said, grumbling by the door as Breakdown patted his shoulder. 
"Having you deliver a sparkling is highly illogical." Shockwave said, his lone optic boring down at him. "Besides the fact you are not the most patience of bots."
"I just wish Penny was here to see this all happening." Arcee sighed, looking out the window. "She would've showered the kid with all the love and spoiled attention!"
"I wonder what she's doing now! She's probably forgotten about us." Starscream said sullenly.
Breakdown gave him a slap on the wrist. "She would never forget us! We are her own children!"
"You know, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that she had more kids! Like a new baby brother or sister for us to see next time we get there!" Smokescreen said, the happy thought crossing his mind a bit. 
"A human sibling would make things interesting." Dreadwing agreed, smiling to himself.
Sounds of screaming came from the delivery room followed by grunts of the great Prime himself. The group winced a bit before the sounds of crying filled their audio receptors. Then there was silence before the orange and white frame of Ratchet came out. His face was full of sweat as he used a rag to wipe it.
"How are they Ratchet?" Bee asked, his optics reflecting his child-like innocence. "Is it a mech or a femme?"
"Right now, I have no idea what it is. The protoform came out a bit too quickly as if the child couldn't stand still!" He shook his head. "Just came out and already causing trouble in my lab."
"Is the sparkling alright though?" Arcee asked, concern written all over her face. "Nothing went wrong right?"
"The carrier and sire are all right, along with the sparkling. Now if you don't mind, I have a sparkling to check!" With a huff, he walked back in, the door closing on their faces.
"Is it me or did Ratchet get grumpier throughout the years?" Knockout said, irritation on his face. 
"Well the next generation hasn't been too kind to him." Breakdown informed his partner. "Remember Blurr?"
"Or Bluestreak?" Ultra Magnus groaned. 
"How can we forget ode twins Sideswipe and Sunstreaker? Those mischievous devils!" Bulkhead laughed, shaking his head. "Though Jetstorm and Jetfire weren't that bad."
"That's because they were delivered by me! Maybe I have the gift of delivery!" Knockout joked, getting optic rolls from the others.

"Congratulations Optimus and Elita, you are the proud parents of a strong, but fired mech."
Optimus let his face mask drop as a smile curled on his lips. The small protoform of his son was currently squirming around in Elita's arms, cooing at everything and touching whatever came his way. When Ratchet meant by fiery was how orange and red his frame was. Blue optics looked around the room with a bubbling curiosity, taking in his surroundings. Elita kissed him in the forehead, making him giggle.
"He certainly is lively." Elita commented, bouncing him in her arms. "Wonder what the future holds for our son."
"Whatever it is, we can do it as a family." Optimus said, placing a servo on her shoulder. "We still need to come up with a name for him though. What do you want to call him?"
"Well Ratchet did say he was firey, so how about we name him HotRod?" Elita smiled as the sparkling gurgled happily at the name, sucking his servo with a drooling mouth. "I guess he likes it."
"HotRod it is then." Optimus placed a kiss on her cheek and one on his sparkling. "Let's get the others in so they can stop eavesdropping at the door."
Ratchet shook his head as he opened the bay doors, only to have the slew of Autobots and former Decpeticons barrel right inside. The bedside was completely taken over as they all gasped at the new sparkling in awe.
"Woah Prime, he looks nothing like you!" Smokescreen blurted, getting a stare from Magnus. "Which is fine!"
"He looks wonderful Optimus, congrats." Arcee said, shutting Smokescreen up. 
"What is the name of my nephew Prime?" Megatron said, playing with the young one's tiny servos. 
"HotRod, we decided to call him HotRod." Elita informed them. 
"Looks like we have a future racer on our hands..." Knockout examined the small one. "We've got to get him out on the track as soon as he gets his new frames fitted in." 
"Will he be a Prime one day?" Bee asked, eager to follow another great Prime. 
"We know not what the future holds, but if Primus willing, he might be." Optimus said, smiling at his extended family with pride. They had all grown up together under the happiest roof on Earth. Penny would be so proud of how they all became.
I wonder how she is doing?

"Did you hear about the incident at the Drake estate?"
"Yeah I heard it got burned to the ground by a mysterious force or some freak accident! Apparently, the young couple got burned up along with their toddler daughter! But they couldn't find the bodies of either of them until her daughter appeared at the Left Behind Orphanage with cuts and bruises! She's the sole survivor of that tragic event."
This was the conversation of the social workers inside the orphanage that Nina lived in now. She was a bit older now, about five years old. Outside, the sticky summer heat attached her clothes to her body as she swung lazily on the lone swing in the yard. In her hands was a book she managed to grab from the orphanage library; A Wrinkle in Time. The yellowed pages of the book provided comfort from on her otherwise crazy reality she lived in. She hated when people told her that her parents had died that night of the fire. She saw what happened that night, but no one believed the words of a child.
"Nina, would you come inside dear?" The sickly sweet voice of the owner of the prison for children Miss Medea called from the window. "The social workers would love a word with you."
Gently slamming the book shut, she got off the swing and walked ever so slowly to what appeared to be her emanate demise.

Here was the prolouge for our other main protagonist. You may be wondering why I keep switching between Cybertron and Earth. This is so that you get to experience the story from different perspectives before the big merge.
