Chapter 21 Thoughts, dreams, feelings
When he came back he had some fruits that he found and he placed them near her and transformed back into his dragon form. He then curled up around her and fell asleep
As the night went by Starshine started to dream again.
She was in her home with her father cooking her mother and the rest of her family was with her.
Her father had just finished cooking pancakes and he served her some with maple syrup on them.
Starshine smiled happily and started eating the food her father made.
She closed her eyes as she put a bit of the pancakes in her mouth.
But when she opened her eyes she saw that she was no longer in her home eating breakfast with her family.
She saw that she was in nothing but a black voice then she heard her uncle screaming. She looked back and saw Megatron beating him up and she felt her heart droop when she saw Megatron holding her mother's body.
She then ran to him to try and make him stop hurting her uncle but he just pointed his cannon at her and blasted.
She attempted to shield herself but then her dream changed again to the garden where Highfly was at.
She looked over and saw her mother, Starscream, and Highfly. She saw that Highfly was following Starscream and Solarflare.
Starscream was telling her to stay but she wasn't listening and extended her arms to grab Starscream servo and pull him back a bit while she smiled goofily and Starscream became irritated and was about to yell at her.
But Solarflare stopped him and said "Highfly me and Starscream are going to have to go back to cybertronian for some time. Can you stay here for us and tend the garden".
Highfly said "of course I will see you two soon bye".
They all said their goodbyes and left, then Starshine's dream changed again and she saw U.V pacing in an unfamiliar place.
Then Solarflare came into the room and she didn't look happy one bit. U.V said "Solarflare are you ok"?
Solarflare said "no I'm not Megatron punished my brother again after a failed mission it wasn't even his fault Megatron just uses this as an excuse to harm my brother does he not know how important Starscream is to me if only he also knew about what I am".
U.V said "that like optimus you're a prime to"?
Solarflare shouted "YES EXACTLY".
Then a plasma blast shot around the whole room and it hit U.V right in the face causing one of his optics to blast right out of his face.
When Solarflare looked back she was horrified to see what she had done. She helped him up and saw the damage that his optic had been blasted out of his face and she apologized again and again for hurting him.
Starshine didn't know what to think but she was surprised that her mother is a prime.
Her dream changed again and she became terrified to see that she was surrounded by dark energon. It started popping up everywhere then she looked and saw Tiger's eye with his blast wound dead.
Starshine then looked around and saw everyone else she loved the same way all dead. She even saw herself but she looked more like a cybertronian.
She looked up and saw Megatron cackling evilly; she then heard her own voice calling her name. She looked back and saw herself. She got very scared and confused.
The other her said "this will happen if you don't face him, Starshine faces Megatron and fulfill your destiny".
Then she heard a blasting noise and looked back and saw a blast coming her way.
Then she woke up screaming which woke Predaking.
Starshine took a moment to process what just happened but remember that she only was dreaming.
Predaking then transformed back and asked "Starshine are you ok"?
Starshine was confused for a moment then remembered that she wasn't home and couldn't go home right now.
She said "yeah I just had a wild dream is all".
She then felt her stomach rumble and she put her hand on her stomach.
She said "oh that's right I couldn't go home so I missed dinner *sigh* I hope I can go home soon and see my dad, my mom, and the rest of my family".
Predaking said "well you might not be able to go back and enjoy your fathers cooking but I did get you some food".
Predaking pointed to the food he gathered for her the night before. Starshine smiled at this and started eating it might just be all fruit but to her it's better than nothing.
After she finished eating she got her stuff together and went outside with Predaking.
(With Starshine's family)
It was morning and by now Glean would've been working on breakfast for him and Starshine but until he got his baby girl back he couldn't cook anything or think straight.
Everyone else was also very worried that Starshine Tigers eye had thankfully woken up but was not allowed to go on any mission until he was all better.
Just then they got a call from agent Fowler. Ratchet picked up Fowler and said "hey prime you notice anything strange about the cons lately"?
Optimus said "no I have not Fowler why"?
Fowler said "well the con ship had crashed in an old forest it looks pretty banged up from the crash".
Bulkhead said "I wonder what caused that to happen".
Cliffjumper said "I bet you an Energon piece that it was Starshine who did it".
Ratchet said "I doubt that cybertronian technology is very complex and advanced so I highly doubt that Starshine was able to do that".
Razorjaw said "don't underestimate Starshine, she's a smart kid, it could've possibly been her".
Solarflare said "it doesn't matter how that happens, what matters is that the ship is in one spot which means that we can go there and get Starshine back".
Sunray said "yes but Solarflare please be careful".
Solarflare said "don't worry Sunny I will".
Optimus said "we might as well strike the decepticons while they are down and variable".
Everyone agreed and they got the coordinates to the crash site.
(With the cons)
Megatron was in the engine room and watched as his troops worked on the generator to fix it
A vehicon said "what in the world did that kid do to break the generator she's not even that big she's about the size of my thumb".
Another one said "I don't know but it's kind of scary that she had managed to kill one of our own with nothing but her brain that is definitely Starscream's niece".
Shockwave then came in and said "lord Megatron you called for my presence".
Megatron said "yes Shockwave I would like to know why the predacon had assaulted me and took the glitch with it".
Shockwave said "I do not know why the predacon did that but I have a theory".
Megatron said "and what is that"?
Shockwave said "well I have been studying her necklace and it's a protector necklace".
Megatron then said "meaning"?
Shockwave finished saying "it means that it's a necklace that finds a protector for its wearer when it does the protector will do whatever it takes to protect the wearer of the necklace the necklace will alert the protector that they need to take action so it means that the predacon is the child's protector and it will protect her until the end".
(With OK, BD, and SW)
Knockout and Breakdown were exhausted; they had just finished their punishment for allowing Starshine to escape which was to help with the energon mine deposit and transfer.
Soundwave sat down in the medical bay with them.
Knockout was thinking back on times that he'd hung out with Tiger's eye and when he heard an autobot named Tailgate had been killed that's when he noticed that Tiger's eye had become less energetic and more sad and depressed.
So now Knockout wondered why Tiger's eye had started to behave that way and after looking into his file about his family Knockout learned that Tailgate was Tiger's eye cousin.
When he learned that he mentally punched himself because he now knows why Tigers eye seemed to hate being a decepticon because he felt like he was betraying his family and Knockout felt bad for not noticing how Tigers eye was feeling in the first place.
Breakdown was thinking of Razorjaw and how they'd all hangout back with their old wrecker gang with Bulkhead and Wheeljack.
As he thought of it he remembered that Razorjaw had tried to fix the problem in their group when things were getting hairy when the war was starting by reminding them of all the fun times they had but they'd all just ignored him.
Breakdown felt like punching himself because he ignored Razorjaw when he was only trying to fix the problem they had in their group.
As well as his time as a decepticon he was miserable because he missed the good old days, the days that Breakdown had taken for garnet.
As four Soundwave he recalled when he first met Sunray the moment he laid his eyes on her he fell in love with her and he wanted her to feel the same way about him.
But as he thought of what Starshine said he thought back to times he'd tell Megatron about the thing they were doing agents his orders which was mostly Starscream and how they'd get punished.
But right after he realized that Sunray wouldn't talk to him for a long time, he just assumed she wasn't in the mood to talk.
Thinking about it now he realized that she was mad at him because her friends meant a lot to her and Starscream was like the brother she had always wanted and all he did was get him in trouble.
He felt like a tootle jerk and snitch now he knows why Sunray had never returned his feelings.
They all looked at each other and wondered what they should do ever since Starshine had said what she said to them they had started questioning if the war still had a purpose and if it was actually their fault that their home planet is now gone.
(Back with Starshine and Predaking)
Predaking had flown Starshine to a nearby river that she used to try and clean herself as best as she could.
After she was done she decided to charge her consoles so she used her phone to find a cafe to charge her stuff Predaking took her there and once they arrived Predaking hid in the forest to avoid being seen.
Starshine went into the cafe and plugged her stuff in the outlets that were in the cafe.
A waitress came up to her and asked her if she wanted anything from the menu.
Starshine thought that it would be rude to say no so she ordered the cheapest thing she could find on the menu which was a cinnamon roll with some milk.
The waitress took her order and left Starshine waiting for a while and in a few minutes the waitress came back with her order.
Starshine smiled and took it. Starshine decided to see how her contacts were holding up and when she looked they seemed to be fine.
So Starshine ate her food and drank her milk and she stayed until all her devices were done charging.
Once they were done she paid for the food and left being unaware that some not so nice people were following her. As she went into the forest to get back to Predaking, four fully grown men attacked her.
One of them grabbed her from her hair and she was slammed into a tree.
She saw the men smiling evilly at her and she knew that something very bad was going to happen.
But the men's faces soon turned from evil to shock and fear.
Starshine also no longer felt the tree behind her. She looked up and saw Predaking with the tree in his hand and he did not look the least bit happy.
The men became scared that they shoved Starshine to the ground and ran away but not with Starshine noticing brown stains on their pants.
She can guess what just happened to them Predaking then picked Starshine up from the ground and put her on his shoulders.
She said "hey thanks for the save but did you really need to do it like that like what if those men report the incident".
Predaking said "do you think that the human authorities will believe men like those".
Starshine didn't respond, she thought for a moment and knew that Predaking was right.
They soon came into a nice field so they sat down for a while. Starshine became tired and fell asleep.
She soon woke up but she wasn't in the meadow. She was in darkness and sat up wondering what was going on.
Soon she started hearing voices saying stuff she couldn't make out but soon she realized that they were calling her a freak.
They kept chanting freak, freak, alien, alien and many other things.
Starshine shouted "NO-NO STOP IM NOT A FREAK IM NOT AN ALIEN STOP SHUT UP".
Starshine covered her ears and got on her knees and she started crying.
Soon the voices stopped and she then felt a warm hand on her shoulder. She lifted her head and saw her grandparents.
She started sobbing even harder and hugged them as she sobbed.
Soon she calmed down and took a deep breath then asked "what's going on why am I having these dreams"?
Skylight said "I'm not sure but if I could guess it's your power that is showing you things from the past and how you also feel about yourself".
Starshine thought for a moment and knew that this was how she felt about herself for all her life; she had always felt insecure and like she couldn't fit in with anyone.
Highwind said "dear I might not know how you feel but please don't suffer in silence you need to tell your friends and family how you feel".
Starshine said "yeah I will thank you and I never got to say but thank you for the necklace so I'm happy to have Predaking as my protector".
Her grandparents smiled and they continued to hug.
Starshine then said "can I ask but how am I going to be the one to end this war I'm just a kid".
Skylight said "we are not sure how you'll be able to do that".
Highwind said "but maybe all you have to do is to just be yourself and don't let what Megatron says get to you just be true to yourself and just be who you are".
Starshine smiled then everything faded and she woke up.
She looked up and saw Predaking looking at her. She smiled and remembered what her grandfather had told her and thought the Predaking should be the first one that she should tell about how she feels about herself.
Predaking said "did you enjoy your nap"?
Starshine said "yes I did and hey Predaking is it ok if I tell you something"?
Predaking said "sure what is it".
Starshine said "well it's something I've been feeling for my whole life and it's affected my social skills. For all my life I felt like I was out of place and that no matter what I would never fit in. I would also feel very lonely because I didn't have any human friends because of me being different and that my father had to work a lot on order to have custody of me and my other friends Tigers eye, Sunray, and Razorjaw would never let me know about other decepticons and wouldn't let me be a part of their conversations. For so long I've never told anyone because I didn't want them to worry".
Predaking gently stroked Starshine's hair, she looked up and saw him smiling at her.
He then said "you don't have to keep all that a secret from your friends and family because if you do then they won't know how they're making you feel".
Starshine smiled and sat back and was grateful to finally tell someone about how she has been feeling for all her life.
