Warning the end of this first chapter is sad and may be the most controversial thing I've ever done in one of my stories and you'll probably want tissues nearby you've been warned. Now on with the story.

One night on Cybertron a mech and his spark mate were sitting in their home. They had a sparkling on the way and Knock Out and Moonracer were excited to be parents.

When suddenly they heard a knock on their door. And Knock Out went to investigate.

Upon opening the door he didn't find anyone there. And was about to go back thinking it'd been some kind of prank when he heard a small cry.

He looked down and found a basket at their door and was surprised to see a small seekerling inside. It was a bright pink femme and she had been left there all alone.

Which shocked Knock Out usually seekers where born in trines. Why was this one by herself ? Did the other two fall out somewhere?

Then he spotted a note that read.

"This is my sparkling Stellar do to birth compilations she's the only one of her trine to survive and I can't care for her so all I ask is you give her the love and care she needs I want her to have a better life then I did." "Starscream."

Then Moonracer came out and Knock Out showed her what he'd found. They both just fell in love with the sparkling and decided to take her in and the one they were expecting would have a big sister.

The sparkling continued to cue as she played with Knock Out's digits. And he smiled down at her.

"Welcome to the family little one you have a little brother on the way and I'm sure you and Breakout will be great friends." Knock Out told Stellar.

It would be heard for two grounders to raise a seeker but Knock Out and Moonracer were up for the challenge.

(17 years later.)

A seeker femme flew through the skies of Cybertron it had been different since Terrorcons had taken over.

Stellar was glad when what remained of her home came into view. She landed and transformed into her bot mode and smiled as her little brother Breakout greeted her.

"I got some energon." She smiled handing Breakout a cube.

"Thanks Siss." He told her as the two cybertronian teens hugged.

"Hey I promised Sire I would take care of you so that's what I'm doing." Stellar told him she loved her little brother and right now they were all each other had.

"I would have been sooner but I had to take two different rotes to avoid being followed by Terrorcons." She explained. "Cybertron is getting worse."

"Yeah I'm just glad your always careful." Breakout told his Sister.

"Well with you as my brother I kind of have to be." She joked knowing Breakout liked to goof around a lot and could be a bit of a reckless show off at times having taken after his Dad. In fact the only real difference between the two was that Breakout sported a silver paint job with red and black unlike the red and white one his Sire had.

The two of them drank their energon and went to get some recharge.

Meanwhile two other younglings were racing through the ruins that had once been the city of Iacon they quickly transformed and ran into the old Autobot base they had been living in.

To find their Sire waiting for them who greeted them with a smile.

"Hornet and Yellow Jacket glad to see your both safe." Bumblebee told his children.

"And we got energon." His daughter Yellow Jacket chimed. She was the younger of the two and had inherited her Sire's looks where as her big brother Hornt had taken more of his personality.

"Good job you two." Bumblebee said to them with a smile.

"Now let's refuel and get some recharge." Hornet suggested.

Things had gotten desperate on Cybertron the Terrorcons had appeared out of nowhere and taken over the planet Bumblebee had managed to escape with the children and had had to raise all the children of the Autobots including his own. Because out of the original Autobots he had been the only survier.

But had managed to do a great job with all of them and had given them all an equal amount of love and care. They had been staying in an old Autobot base where the Terrorcons couldn't find them and had been going out to get energon in shifts and two at a time to cover each other.

Bumblebee knew all of the sparklings were old enough to take care of themselves now but he still worried everytime they went out. It was just the fraternal instinct.

They all refueled and went to get some recharge.

Meanwhile on a different part of Cybertron Stellar was having a nightmare about something bad that happened when she and Breakout were still sparklings.

(Nightmare/ Flashback.)

Stellar and Breakout were playing when Knock Out suddenly rushed into the house and told his children to hide.

"What's wrong?" Stellar had asked noticing that her Sire looked frantic and she could tell he'd been crying coolant tears at one point but was trying to be brave for them now. "Where's Carrier?"

"She's gone." He answered and she could hear the sparkbreak in his voice. "Now take Breakout and hide." he told her.

"What's going on?" She asked again.

"There's no time to explain just go hide with your brother and stay put till it's safe." Knock Out told her gently but firmly and she obeyed.

She took Breakout and the two of them ran and hid in a closet and she saw Knock Out activate his saw before closing the door.

Then she tried to claim down Breakout who was starting to cry as they could hear shouts, grunts and the sounds of metal against metal and she knew a fight was taking place.

And then to her horror saw a bot approaching the closet through a crack that was in the door and it wasn't their Sire.

Stellar hid Breakout behind somethings that were in the closet and told him to stay still and not make a peep no matter what.

Then once she saw that her little brother was safely hidden she shot out of the closet like a bullet hoping to lead the bot away from him.

It worked the bot who had been about to open the closet a femme with spider legs ran after her.

"Oh it's ok little one I just want to play with you." The spider femme said in a mocking voice that still haunted Stellar to this day.

The poor seeker femme continued to run hoping to lose the creepy spider bot she didn't know who she was but there was something about her that Stellar didn't trust or like.

Stellar was just hoping to lead her away from her little brother without being caught herself. But was suddenly snagged by a web. And was trying desperately to get free.

"You know it's interesting that two grounders would end up with a seeker sparkling so I'm guessing your adopted." Arachnid told the young seeker in a dark tone that gave her the creeps.

Stellar already knew she had been adopted so this didn't affect her. Knock Out and Moonracer hadn't kept that secret from her and had even offered to tell her who her real Sire was. But she hadn't cared loving the family she had and being happy with them.

When Knock Out had asked her if she wanted to know who her Sire was she had responded by saying. "No he's right here." And hugged him bringing a smile to his faceplates. Because as far as Stellar was concerned he was her real Dad because he had raised her.

But right now she couldn't visit memory lane she had to get free and get away from this creepy femme.

"I thought all the seekers had been wiped out." Arachnid said burning a mark on her cheek with the acid from her fingers making the young seeker whimper in pain and fear.

"Don't worry little one I won't suck your energon Shockwave cured me of being a Terrorcon." Arachnid continued mocking the frightened sparkling. "I just want to play a game with you and see how many times I can make you scream."

"Not on your life!" An angry voice yelled before Arachnid was suddenly punched away from Stellar by an extremely angry Knock Out. "Don't ever touch my sparkling!" He hissed.

Then he and Arachnid started fighting while Stellar was slowly using her talens to free herself. And could only watch as her Sire and Arachnid fought.

She had never felt so powerless in her life she could see that Knock Out was already wounded and bleeding energon in several places and he had burn marks from where Arachnid had gotten him with her acid. And Stellar could see webbing on his normally sparkly finish.

Knock Out was putting up a good fight but it was easy to tell who was in control and that Arachnid had the upper hand and the only reason Knock Out was still fighting was the determination to protect his sparklings after Arachnid had already killed his mate moments before and his best friend during the war. And he wasn't about to let her take the sparks of his kids as well.

Stellar had now almost gotten free while the two of them were fighting but then saw something that made her spark break that she had still never gotten over. The sight of Arachnid stabbing one of her leg claws into Knock Out's spark chamber.

At that moment Stellar felt rage and grief flood her own spark and she suddenly and without thinking broke free from the webs and transformed her servos into missiles then shot Arachnid through the spark chamber killing her. It was the first and only time she had ever killed.

Then she rushed to Knock Out's side he was still alive but his optics looked dazed and there was energon coming from the side of his mouth and she could see the wound on his spark chamber.

"Are you ok?" He asked her in a weak voice.

"Yes and Breakout is fine too he's still hiding in the closet." Stellar assured him.

"Good." He said as a faint smile cross his faceplates.

"Now we need to get you to the hospital." Stellar said to him. "Where's your medkit I can use it to patch you up." She added. Knock Out had been teaching her some of his medical skills.

"No sweetspark I'm afraid it's too late for that." He told her and she could make out tears in his optics. "You need to be brave now and take care of your little brother he needs you."

"No he needs you." She sobbed hugging him around the neckcables. "I need you please don't leave me." She continued to cry.

"Me and your Carrier will both always be with you in here." Knock Out told her gently putting his servo on her spark chamber.

"I'm so proud of you and the femme your becoming now I need you to take care of your brother can you promise me that?" He added.

"Yes I promise." She told him not being able to hold back her tears.

"I love you." He told her before the light disappeared from his optics and the color faded from his body as he went offline.

"I love you too." She sobbed into his now lifeless frame."

(Nightmare/ Flashback ends.)

Stellar woke up with a jolt she always hated it when she had that nightmare that forced her to relieve the saddest memory of her life. The day she and Breakout became orphans.

She ran to check on her brother like she always did after having that dream. And was relieved to find him safe and recharging.

She had promised she would take care of him and that was a promise she was going to keep.

To Be Continued.
