Chapter 10
The morning arrived, peace travelled through the summer island palace. On the beach that the tunnel leads to, the Sparklings of Destiny were with the newly awoken princess, playing in the sand. The young princess stumbled across the beach and fell face-first into the sand, sneezing when she sat up. "Stop putting sand up your nose, then." Darknight chuckled as he watched the little princess sneezing away. "What's her name?" Oria asked SmokeBee. "I don't know yet. Mother said I get to name her." She replied and Oria nodded. "Look at her! She's like sun, shining in the morning as it rises to light the day." Sidearm pointed out and SmokeBee took it to consideration. Heck! She does look a sun, SmokeBee thought and smiled. "Hello, sweetspark." Tsunami greeted them as she stepped out of the water, presumably she just returned from the deep palace. "We destroyed the statue. But it was so beautiful, just like Anemone." Tsunami sighed and looked down at her necklace and fidgeted with it. "I bet Bumblebee remembers her." She added and stopped fidgeting. "Who's Anemone?" SmokeBee asked and Coral held her youngest sister. "Anemone was my first daughter. She challenged me for the throne when she was about your age, SmokeBee." Her mother replied. "Just before we smashed the statue, we got Coral to use her powers to show us who enchanted the statue. It was Anemone." Tsunami the added and Coral nodded in agreement. "You're an animus too?! Awesome!" Sidearm exclaimed and Coral smiled.
"Have you thought of a name for your sister yet, SmokeBee?" Tsunami asked and held her youngest daughter. "How about...Sunfish?" SmokeBee replied and Darknight looked at her and stated, "a sunfish is huge!" SmokeBee looked at him, kind of irritated by his statement. "I named my sister because of her golden-sun colour." She explained and Darknight went quiet and agreed with her. "Sunfish it is." Tsunami smiles and held her daughter high, under the sunlight coming through the canopy of the palace. Sunfish giggles and her mother lowered her. "I want to bwee with MokeWee!" Sunfish said, the first time she ever said SmokeBee's name was a pretty close call. "Wow! She's good!" Oria exclaimed. "Not as good as I thought," Windshear said, sarcastically. "I didn't expect her to say my name the first time," SmokeBee explained and Windshear shrugged. Tsunami handed Sunfish to her oldest sister and SmokeBee held her tight.
"I enjoyed your return to us, sweetspark. I want to keep you close but...I know you have a war to end. With your friends." Tsunami admitted and gestured at all the Sparklings of Destiny, including her own daughter who put Sunfish on the beach. SmokeBee smiled and hugged her mother, as a form of saying "goodbye, I hope I can see you again". Sidearm, on the other hand, wasn't really happy but rather, in a mode of trance. SmokeBee saw him and got a little worried, she walked to his side and shook him a little. He snapped out of it and looked up at the ceiling. "Sidearm?" SmokeBee asked, getting more worried by the minute.
Then, the ground shook, the sound of rushing wind and be heard from above. Then, the ceiling broke, a cactus fell onto the beach and exploded. SmokeBee came too with an extremely loud ringing in her ears, she looked around and saw fire and Ocean-Bots on fire and running towards the tunnel. Her mother and sisters were still unconscious, but she shook them hard and they both awoke. Sidearm and the others weren't knocked out and they were helping the Ocean-Bots get into the tunnel. Sidearm was grabbed spears and other stuff and enchanting them to go after their attacker.
"Sidearm!" SmokeBee yelled out and ran next to her friend. "What's happening?" She asked as soon as she was next to him. "An attack. I saw it, in a vision. It matches this." He replied and cleared up his fuzzy mind from the vision. "Well well well, if it isn't...my own daughter." That voice, SmokeBee recognises that voice. It's Bumblebee's. SmokeBee turned around, hoping it wasn't her own father talking to her in such an evil and untrustworthy voice, but it was. "Bumblebee?! You wouldn't..." She gasped but her father just chuckled. "Oh, I did lead the Decepticons right here." He replied, in such a sly voice that SmokeBee wouldn't even recognise. "I trusted you!" She cried out and Bumblebee pushed her aside. SmokeBee got up and saw Sidearm on Bumblebee's back, strangling the yellow mech. "Sides! What are you doing?" She asked. "Help me get this necklace off him!" Sidearm replied as Bumblebee tried to grab him. SmokeBee jumped onto Bumblebee and grabbed the necklace, a golden one that she never realised it was there, she tugged it backwards and with a little snap, the cooper chains snapped and the necklace came off.
SmokeBee looked back at Bumblebee, or should she even call him that. The yellow mech was now replaced by a dark purple femme, she looked like Starscream more than anyone. "Who are you?" SmokeBee asked. "Other than Bumblebee's imposter." Sidearm added in. The femme looked at both of them and replied with, "I am ShadowSpeaker. The current leader of Cybertron's Peacekeepers." SmokeBee was shocked, this femme was the leader of the Peacekeepers, the ones who separated her from her fathers. "Tell me you're not working for Megatron and the Decepticons too." Sidearm said, in a commanding voice. "So sad I am. But, no one really knows what happened to Lord Megatron." She replied and Sidearm chuckled. "Oh, lucky you. You're about to find out." Sidearm smiles in a sly way, just before he sideswiped his hand against ShadowSpeaker's chest. ShadowSpeaker howled in pain, acid from Sidearm's hands are burning her alive. SmokeBee got her chance and kicked the Con (Ex-Peacekeeper) into the water, letting she fall to the depth. "Sidearm, we need to get the others and go, immediately," SmokeBee ordered and Sidearm nodded before quickly departing to find the rest of their friends. SmokeBee went to find one bot she cared for the most; Shark.
SmokeBee raced through the palace that was at a crisis, looking for a familiar grey mech. She eventually spotted him, helping his mother and Piranha as they help the injured Ocean-Bots. "Shark!" SmokeBee Calle sour and Shark faced her. "Hey!" He called out and SmokeBee ran into his arms. "Hey! Hey! It's okay. It's okay." He soothes the young princess. "Thank Primus you're alright!" SmokeBee exclaimed and Shark let her go. "Me and my friends need to go. I'm sorry I couldn't stay." SmokeBee apologised, but it didn't bother Shark. "It's okay. Go on. Go and stop this war." He smiled and SmokeBee nodded. "I hope I can see you next time if there even is a next time." Shark wished and so did SmokeBee. "Don't you worry." She first said, then in Oceania, she added in "Fish-Brain."
Shark laughed and so did SmokeBee.
"Well, if there is a next time. Remember me." SmokeBee told Shark and they leaned in for a kiss. They broke shortly after and SmokeBee ran to find her friends at the tunnel. She cast one last look at Shark before she turned around and dove into the water and saw her friends waiting for her at the tunnel entrance and went in without hesitation with her friends on his tail.

The Sparklings of Destiny, resting on a peaceful beach on the mainland of Asia, where Bumblebee was. "That was a day." Windshear states and for once during their time with the Ocean-Bots, SmokeBee agreed. The sun started to set, the forest nightlife came to life and pranced around the young Cybertronians. Crickets chirping a harmonious melody of their nightly song, bats' wings clapped through the new sky, ocean waves crashing onto the sandy beach, in a rhythm that was always set up. "What about you, SmokeBee? What about your family and destiny with your royalty life?" Oria asked, moving next to her friend. "It doesn't matter, my destiny is with you guys. Ending the war. And for my royalty destiny, that will have to settle for being the boss of you guys." She replied, her voice sounding more different from when they all first heard her. Her voice had gotten more confident in herself and the world around her. She has gotten braver, a lot more since they escaped from the caves. Thanks to this world, she became a brand new femme, a femme who is ready to end the war. And she was happy for that.
"Where can we go now? Since the palace is probably destroyed." Windshear asked, looking up at the stars. "Your family, Windshear! The Hover-Bots, they could be here," SmokeBee replied, excitement rising from her voice. "Yeah! Windshear, your family!" Oria exclaimed and Windshear smiled. "I believe that that has to be the best suggestion you've ever made since we arrived here, SmokeBee." Windshear cried tears of joy, the joy of reuniting with her family. I know, I should be thinking about my suggestions before I say them, SmokeBee thought with a smile. "Can we go, after we rest?" Oria asked and Sidearm nodded with a yawn. "After we rest." SmokeBee agreed and the five of them smiled and headed under the trees, to avoid Decepticons.
SmokeBee was laying on her back under the trees, but just under a little hole in the canopy that allows her to look through and see the sky. Hey, what's so bad about this experience? I met my mother, I found out I was a princess, I saved my sister and what else? SmokeBee thought positively and a shooting star flew past the sky and it made her smile. Yep! Nothing's wrong. Now I just need to help Windshear find her mother and father, and maybe, find my father on the way. SmokeBee slowly let sleep take over her systems and she went into a peaceful and happy sleep, nothing can upset her.
