1 – The dooming message

Of all the seekers on Cybertron, none stood out more clearly in anyone’s mind than Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp. These three, along with their friends Aviator, Sunstorm and a few others highlighted the seeker population on the great planet. The craziest by far was Skywarp.
At their home of the Seeker Mansion in Delemon, the purple seeker was recharging in his room. There were many things in here; a computer, a toy of Starscream (which he hugged when the real thing wouldn’t let him) posters of many things on the walls and a comfy bed with an enormous pillow. The one thing that stood out on it was a picture of a cookie on it and the blanket that covered him as he slept.

In the kitchen, Starscream sat at the table reading the morning paper titled ‘Delemon News’ in big purple letters. His eldest brother, Thundercracker, walked into the room brushing his teeth.
The red seeker looked over and said, “Hey, is that a new toothbrush?”
TC looked down at it and shook his head, and Starscream smirked, saying “Because Skywarp got a really itchy nose last night …”
TC looked at him, then at the toothbrush and ran to the sink, throwing up in disgust.
Starscream grinned behind his paper at his brother’s reaction as TC began gagging again, throwing his toothbrush in the trash.
Then something caught his attention at the bottom of the article. He slowly lowered the paper; it only took a few seconds for TC to realise something was up. On the paper was a small article, proclaiming that the war had meant that all luxuries would be cut. Down the bottom of the list, were cookies...
“HULLO GUYS!”
Both seekers jumped, Starscream quickly hiding the paper behind his back. TC took a
quick look at the cookie jar; reasonably sure he'd filled it that morning.
“What’s the matter?” Skywarp said, trying to see what was behind Starscream’s back. Starscream wouldn’t let him look at it, so he gave up and went to grab a cookie.
Both seekers heard a gasp. Starscream thought for sure he'd seen the paper, but instead they noticed their brother slowly pointing to something...
Turning around they saw a large petro rat lift a cookie about the size of a dinner plate from the jar...
Skywarp lunged at the rat, the vermin ducking out of the way with the cookie in his mouth. They ran around the kitchen, and the rat insulted him for doing so. He quickly disappeared into a hole in the wall.
Skywarp wailed in despair, dipping his fingers into the pile of crumbs near the hole and carefully licking the crumbs off.
Both brothers realised their siblings intentions and grabbed his arms just as he lunged at the wall, the plaster lifting as he tried to tear the wall out to get to the rat.
Sitting down sobbing, Skywarp looked at his brothers through tearful fingers, “Can we go to the shop to get more?”
Both brothers looked at one another. Should they tell him?
“Skywarp,” Said TC. “The new war has meant that Cookies will no longer be sold in the shops …”
Skywarp looked at them, then burst into tears again. He ran to his room, and flopped down on his bed. Just then, an incoming message sound came out of his computer. Looking up, the purple seeker saw a shadowed transformer appeared.
“Muahahhahahahahahha!” He cried. “I, the great leader of this new war, have taken the cookie factory for my own!”
“No! Cookies are for all!” Skywarp yelled, rushing to his computer and glaring at the image on his screen.
“Are not!”
“Are too!”
“Are not!”
“Are too!”
“ARE NOT!!”
“ARE TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
The evil ‘thing’ couldn’t take it and then shouted, “COME AND FACE ME THEN!” And shut off the transmission. Then popped up a map. It showed Skywarp the path he had to do, and it went over many glorious mountains and cities, to five different planets and then … the lord himself.
“Hmmm …” Skywarp stood to his full height and struck a thinking pose … hovering from the roof. “Skywarp must go and save the cookies! But I do not know how …” He picked up the map and held it up to his face. “Skywarp will need to go to many places, and he will do it!” Inspiration hit him. “I will rescue the cookies! I will fight for the cookies! YES!”
His door opened, and his brothers walked in.
“What is going on?!” TC said indignantly.
“TC!” Skywarp flipped the right way. “Starscream! I’m going to rescue the cookies!”
“Pardon me?”
“COOKIES!” Skywarp flew down and stood in front of his older brothers. “This … thing, this dark lord, has taken the cookie factory hostage! I must save it!”
The two ‘normal’ seekers looked at one another. They could not back down …
“Alright, but we’re coming.” Starscream said, but Skywarp held up his hand.
“No! No, I must do this alone Starscream!” He said earnestly. “I want to have an adventure on my own!!”
And so Skywarp hugged his two eldest brothers, and then went to his cupboard. Inside was a jar of –
“COOKIES!!” TC and Starscream gasped at the label ‘Skywarp’s Super Cookies!’
“I’ve been saving them for an adventure!” Said the purple seeker happily. “Time for Skywarp to save the day!”
And so, he teleported, his first stop would be Technico, and from there on he would go to some of the other cities and then to five planets. How he got there and what he would do, would be up to him, and Skywarp had to save the cookies.
