Follow Your Dreams (dad Wrecker):

follow your dreams (dad Wrecker):

Wrecker, Katie, Colin, James and Allison all stood at the zone of where Brendam's latest fire had been.

James had wrecklessly ran into the house in an attempt to save the occupants unaware that the house was empty, and had gotten himself trapped as a result.

This lead to Wrecker having to save him.

Wrecker looked at Katie and Colin.

"Can you two head back to the station and explain everything to station officer Lloyd, I'm going to take James home." Wrecker said.

Katie and Colin nodded and climbed into Orion, driving back to the station.

Wrecker and James started heading home.

Wrecker picked up James and hoisted the boy onto his shoulder.

It was then Wrecker took in James' profile.

Ash from the fire coated the boy's clothes and a decent amount of it was on his face and hair as well, there was also the strong smell of smoke coming from both him and James.

He would definitely need a bath when they got in.

Just then Wrecker heard James yawn.

He looked at James and chuckled.

"Aww, is my little boy sleepy." Wrecker teased.

"I'm 8." James protested.

"You'll always be my baby angel, no matter what age you are." Wrecker told him.

James hummed and a moment later he yawned again.

"I am tired though." He mumbled.

Wrecker chuckled again.

"I'm not suprised, running around town all day long saving people does that to you doesn't it." Wrecker said.

James nodded rubbing his eyes.

The two soon made it home and Wrecker lowered James down from his shoulder.

He then unlocked the door allowing James to go in first, he then went inside and locked the door.

Wrecker looked at James.

"I'm gonna go run you a bath, I'll call you when it's ready." Wrecker said.

"Okay dad." James said nodding.

Wrecker went into the bathroom and began running James' bath.

After a few minutes Wrecker turned off the taps and checked the temperature of the bath.

Once he was satisfied he opened the bathroom door.

"James your bath is ready." Wrecker called.

"Coming." James called from downstairs.

James came up and went into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

Wrecker turned away as James undressed and climbed into the bath.

"Okay dad, I'm ready." James called.

Wrecker nodded and grabbed a flannel cloth.

Kneeling down next to the bath he began scrubbing at James' face to get the ash off.

James laughed and squirmed slightly as Wrecker washed his face.

"Dad, that tickles." He laughed trying to pull away.

Wrecker chuckled and held him still.

"I know bud, but I need to get this stuff off." Wrecker said resuming his efforts to get the ash off of James.

After a few minutes he finally managed to get ash off of James.

"There, all off." Wrecker said.

He stood up.

"I'll leave you to relax for a while." Wrecker said.

James nodded.

Wrecker smiled and ruffled James's hair before leaving.

James leant back in the bath and closed his eyes.

He thought about everything that had happened today.

It felt good helping those people and he couldn't help but smile slightly when he remembered just how happy he'd made them.

He wished he hadn't been so careless earlier though, his mistake had put him in great danger and his dad had to save him.

He remembered just how worried Wrecker had sounded and felt bad he'd made his dad worry so much about him.

He was also glad Cynthia was away on a trip, he grimaced imagining the lecture she'd have no doubt given him.

Deciding to put aside the negative thoughts for now he decided to just relax.

He hadn't even realised he was beginning to drift off until Wrecker came back in.

"James, it's time to get out." Wrecker said.

James nodded and climbed out the bath, wrapping himself in the towel Wrecker gave him.

"I've got your pajamas all warmed up and laid on your bed for you." Wrecker said.

James nodded and left the bathroom to get changed.

Wrecker showered and changed into his own pajamas.

He went downstairs to find James sitting on the couch.

"Hey bud, wanna watch a movie?" Wrecker asked.

James nodded and eagerly scrambled over to sit on Wrecker's lap.

The two put on a movie and it began to play.

Partway through the movie James spoke up.

"Dad, do you reckon i could be a brave firefighter one day, like you and uncle Trix?" James asked looking up at Wrecker.

Wrecker smiled and ruffled James's hair.

"Of course you can, I was about your age when I decided I wanted to be one if I ever got the chance, 99 always told me to follow my dreams, I did so and look at me now, I'm the strongest firefighter in this town." Wrecker said flexing his muscles.

James giggled.

"Thanks dad." James said.

"Don't mention bud, and like I said, follow your dreams and they may just come true." Wrecker said.

By the end of the movie James was fast asleep.

Wrecker carried him up to bed and tucked him in.

Wrecker was just beginning to leave the room when suddenly turned around.

"But for me, my biggest dream was adopting you, and I'm glad it came true." Wrecker whispered before leaving the room.

Chapter 4: Therapy

The bee team were relaxing when suddenly the alarm went off.

"We have incoming." Fixit said.

They all ran to the command center weapons ready but Windblade smiled when she recognised the ship.

"It's alright, I know them." She said urging the rest of the team to lower their weapons.

The bee team stood down and allowed the ship two land.

Out came two Autobots, a bright blue femme bot and a cherry red Mech Bumblebee recognised very well.

"Knockout." He said surprised.

Knockout broke into an all too familiar smirk.

"Hello Bee, long time no see." Knockout said.

The two shook hands.

"It's so good to see you." Bee said.

"Likewise, and it's good to be back here." Knockout said.

"Uh Bee, who's this guy?" Grimlock asked looking at Knockout.

"Oh, guys this is Knockout, he's a former Decepticon who joined the Autobots near the end of the war, and he's a very good friend of mine." Bumblebee said.

"Knockout, this is my team." Bee said introducing Knockout to each member of the Bee team, aside from Optimus, Ratchet, Windblade and Jazz who Knockout was already well acquainted with.

Attention then shifted to Chromia, who introduced herself.

"Hello, my name is Chromia, I'm a friend of Windblade and Knockout and I'm a therapist, I work to help Autobots and Decepticons alike adjust to their new lives." Chromia said.

"She's very good, she even helped me a bit after I joined the Autobots." Knockout said.

Introductions were carried out and soon Chromia began her sessions, assisted by Knockout.

Chromia spoke with Slipstream and Knockout talked with Jetstorm.

Chromia and Slipstream were sitting on a crate in the medbay.

Chromia was smiling warmly at Slipstream who was rather tense.

"Alright Slipstream we're going to begin now, I will be taking notes throughout this session, and I want you to tell me to stop if you feel uncomfortable or need a break, okay." Chromia said smiling warmly at Slipstream.

Slipstream nodded and with that the session began.

At first Chromia asked Slipstream some small questions before beginning the more serious ones.

"So Slipstream, how did you end up working for Shadow Raker?" Chromia asked.

"It was when me and Jetstorm were young I was 6, and he was 3, our parents died in an explosion and we were living on the streets for several months just trying to survive, Shadow Raker found us and offered us a job working for him, in exchange he would give us energon and shelter." Slipstream said.

He clenched his fists tightly.

"But he lied, he used me and Jetstorm as tools, he sent us out to steal for him and whenever we failed he would either lock us out of the base, beat us or refuse to feed us, he treated Jetstorm the worst, just because he was the youngest, the weakest and the most accident prone, he treated him like his slave and there was nothing I could do to stop him, I hate him, I hate everything about him and if I could I would subject him to every painful thing he has done to us over the years, but he doesn't even deserve that, he deserves to go offline." Slipstream growled out.

Slipstream took a long deep breath and sighed.

Chromia looked at the young minicon, his whole frame slumped slightly after he'd finished his tirade, clearly he'd been holding that in for quite a long time.

After a few moments of silence Slipstream looked up at Chromia.

"I'm sorry, it's just, I've been holding a lot of that in for a good while now." Slipstream said.

"That's quite alright Slipstream, this kind of thing is perfectly natural, especially for a situation like this, thanks heavens I was sitting down when I reviewed your records, it's appalling you and your brother had to live with such a monster." Chromia said.

She then decided to change the topic.

"I trust you and your brother are much happier with Drift." Chromia said.

"Very much miss Chromia, master Drift is such a wonderful bot, he has his flaws of course, but he has really changed our lives for the better, he provides us with a home and energon, he trains us to defend ourselves, he taught me and Jetstorm how to read and write, he even comforts us when we are sad or when we have had nightmares." Slipstream said.

Chromia could practically feel her spark swell with emotions.

"You all seem very close." Chromia said.

"We are miss Chromia...we're like a family." Slipstream said.

"Drift seems to have quite a fatherly bond to you two." Chromia said.

"Admittedly Jetstorm and I do see Master Drift like a father, but have never had the courage to say so." Slipstream said.

"Why not?" Chromia asked curiously.

"Because we fear he would not feel the same way towards us. Slipstream said.k

"From what you've described to me Slipstream he does seem to feel the same way about both you and Jetstorm, I feel if you do tell him how you feel, you may be pleasantly suprised." Chromia said.

Slipstream was silent, thinking everything over.

"Just think about it for now." Chromia said.

Slipstream nodded and smiled.

The two talked for a while before Chromia declared their session over and Slipstream went to wait for Jetstorm.

Jetstorm soon appeared followed by Knockout.

"Now remember Jetstorm, same time tomorrow, and think about what we've talked about." Knockout said.

"Okay, thanks Knockout." Jetstorm said looking the happiest Slipstream had seen him in a long time.

Knockout left and Jetstorm and Slipstream got some Energon.

The two sat down and discussed their therapy sessions.

"Knockout was so fun to talk to, he loves his paintjob, he even buffed some of the scratches I missed the last time." Jetstorm said.

True to his word there wasn't a single scratch on Jetstorm.

"He really knows his stuff." Jetstorm said seeing the impressed look on Slipstream's face.

"Jetstorm, you know how me and you think about master Drift, as a father figure?" Slipstream asked.

Jetstorm nodded.

"Well Chromia told me, that perhaps we should tell him how we feel." Slipstream said.

"Knockout said the same to me." Jetstorm said.

"Well,do you think we should tell him?" Slipstream asked.

"I don't know, I really him to think of us as his sons as well as his students, but at the same time, What if he doesn't feel the same?" Jetstorm asked.

Slipstream nodded.

"This is something we must think about." He said.

A little sneak peak for part 5:

Sideswipe woke up, but something was strange, he was back on cybertron, alongside a yellow mech, one he hadn't seen in such a long time.

Suddenly there was the sounds of bots yelling as well as blaster fire.

The mech started pulling Sideswipe along with him, both of them running past many fighting bots in an attempt to escape.

The unthinkable happened when a stray blaster shot came flying through the air, hitting the yellow mech square in the chest.

Sideswipe tried to help but it was no luck. The bots bright yellow paint, faded to gunmetal gray.

The scrapyard:

Sideswipe awoke with a jolt and sat up in his berth his whole frame trembling and shaking, and in his despair he said a name, the name of a bot he could never tak to again.

"Sunstreaker."

Daniel: you know, last night I think we made  one or two, teensy little mistakes, starting with a few drinks of juice, great, a few glasses of milkshake, lovely, but the soda and lemonade drinking race...that may have been a bridge too far...and our second mistake, was letting Boba convince us that you could mix a nice cold coke, with a bit of redbull

Cobalt: look, I know what these parties are like, we all have one or two too many, even I've done that myself when I was younger, I did some fairly dumb things too, but I didn't start swinging from the lightbulbs and kissing women I barely even know, THE COMMISSIONER WAS ALMOST IN TEARS

Star ars the clone wars Darkness rising, Season 1

Episode 4: Security

The galaxy was thrown into a state of chaos following the beginning of the clone wars.

Courscant was easily the worst affected, and thus, the Courscant guard was established.

Given the size of the planet, the guard was assigned four commanders, Commander Stone, Commander Thire, and the head of the Courscant guard Commander Fox.

Courscant guard office:

Fox was looking at his datapad with a tired look.

"A drug gang are about to carry out a deal, honestly don't those terrorists ever sleep." Fox groaned.

He picked up his rifle and guestered to a team of Shock troopers nearby.

"You lot, with me." Fox instructed.

"Yes sir." The Shock troopers said in unison following Fox.

Terriost holdout:

A speeder landed just a couple of streets from the holdout.

The shock troopers got of the speeder  blasters locked and loaded.

"Flint, I want you on the rooftops sniper at the ready, Rhys and rest of you, follow me." Fox instructed.

The shock troopers nodded and got into position.

"Everyone ready?" Fox asked.

"Affirmative." Rhys said nodding.

"Affirmative." Flint said over the comm.

"Stand by, wait till they come out, the street's a dead end the other way so they can only come our way, and remember, disarmament only." Fox ordered.

Everyone nodded and crouched behind their speeders.

They didn't have to wait long as only a few minutes later, several men dressed in jackets and armed with multiple different blasters exited the building.

The Courscant guard aimed their blasters at them.

"HALT POLICE, STOP OR WE FIRE." Fox thundered into a megaphone.

The men fired at the clones who promptly returned fire.

The clones aimed for the blasters in the men's hand and either shot their legs or arms to immobilise them.

Flint also helped immobilising the few men who tried to run in the opposite direction.

After only a few minutes all the men were immobilised and handcuffed.

"Take them back to base men, I'll be along shortly." Fox ordered.

The men nodded and got into the gunships.

Rhys approached Fox.

"Sir, all of these men appear to part of the drug gang led by, Diego Javier, AKA the Fang." Rhys told him.

"Thank you Rhys, now go with the others and I'll be there shortly." Fox instructed.

Rhys got into the gunship and left with the others.

Fox didn't notice a figure watching him.

26 years ago:

On tatooine young 8 year old boy was playing with a football when his mother came over.

She was terribly ill with cancer and it seemed she wouldn't last much longer.

She put a golden wolf necklace around his neck.

"You must be strong my son, do you understand?" She asked.

"Yes." Young Diego Javier nodded.

"Be strong." His mother said patting him on the shoulder.

A couple of days later she was pronounced dead.

Javier packed his most treasured items and buried his mother.

After doing so he left his home behind him and headed for the spaceport.

In the present day he walked down a Courscant alley his gangmen behind him.

They started beating up a rival gang who'd stolen from them.

They didn't notice Rico seguaraire a famous drug boss watching him.

Later Rico was sitting at a bar when Javier approached him.

Rico slid a gun across the table to Javier who holsterd it.

A few days later Rico's gang and another gang were doing an exchange when one man suddenly pulled out a rifle intending to shoot Rico.

Javier noticed and killed the man prompting a firefight between the two gangs.

Later in the bar Rico tipped his glass to Javier who did the same in acknowledgement.

Javier and a young woman at the bar locked eyes and smiled at each other.

Three years later the two were being married.

After the best man speech from Rico the bride and groom toasted each other.

"My heart." Javier said smiling at his wife.

Just then a figure bumped into him accidentally spilling wine on his suit.

Javier yelled at him but his wife just her hand on his shoulder and calmed him.

Javier nodded and went to clean himself up.

Just as he was coming back there was a huge explosion followed by multiple blaster shots.

Javier looked on in horror as everyone, including his wife died.

A few weeks later Javier was on the comm to one of his contacts.

"Find me the son of a bitch who did this." Javier growled.

He readied himself and went to the coordinates he was given.

Javier watched as his men were taken away and got ready to attack, unsheathing a large knife.

Fox got off the comm and turned around shocked to see Javier behind him.

The two stared at each for a moment before Javier lunged forward with the knife.

The knife penetrated Fox's armour, thankfully not too bad however.

"You lucky son of a bitch." Javier growled.

Fox punched Javier sending him flying back Javier yanking the knife out.

"You will pay, you killed Rico, killed my wife." Javier growled.

"I don't even know who you are." Fox said.

"You will." Javier growled angrily.

The two continued to fight for several minutes before Fox eventually had Javier pinned.

"You're coming with me." Fox said as he handcuffed Javier.

Later at the base:

Fox and Thorn entered the cell Javier was in.

Javier was patiently waiting for them and politely looked up at them as they entered.

"You are Diego Javier correct?" Fox ask.

"Correct." Javier nodded.

"I am Commander Fox of the Courscant guard and this is Commander Thorn." Fox said.

Javier nodded again.

"If I may ask, why did you believe I was the one who killed your wife, I've never seen you or your wife until today." Fox said.

Javier looked confused.

"There was a clone at my wedding, he had a scar on his right cheeck, that looks precisely like yours." Javier said.

Fox frowned.

"The only other clone who has a scar like this other than me is a clone called Boyle, me and him were kidnapped by a gangster named Robert Carrit, also known as Scarr, for his habit of leaving scars on his victims, but I thought Boyle was dead." Fox said.

Javier shook his head.

"No, he survived killing Scarr and taking control of his gang, they are located here on Courscant." Javier said.

Javier thought for a moment before speaking.

"I propose a deal. You allow me to assist in dealing with him and I will tell you his location." Javier said.

"We don't make deals with criminals." Thorn said.

"Deal." Fox said a moment later.

"What, sir!" Thorn exclaimed.

Fox took Thorn to a corner of the room.

"With his help we could stop one of the biggest drug rings in the galaxy." Fox said.

"Yes, but I don't trust him." Thorn said cocking his head in Javier's direction.

"Me either, but we don't have much choice, do we." Fox said.

"I guess not." Thorn said, shaking his head.

Fox went back to Javier and held out a hand.

"Alright Javier, we have a deal." Fox said.

Javier nodded and shook his hand.

Fox turned to Thorn.

"Get the men ready Thorn, full riot gear." Fox ordered.

"Yes sir." Thorn said leaving the room.

3 hours later:

The Courscant guard as well as Javier arrived outside a large compound thst Boyle and his men lived at.

Fox and the men grabbed their rifles as well as several batons from the speeder.

They got in position in front of the door.

"Courscant guard, come up with your hands over your head." Fox ordered.

Nobody came out.

"This is your only warning, come out now or we shall have to use force." Fox ordered.

Nothing happened.

With that the Courscant guard charged into the building and quickly started placing the gang members under arrest.

Soon the vast majority of the gang were arrested.

"We still need to find Boyle." Thorn said.

"Rhys, finish your sweep and arrest any criminals you see, I'm gonna find him." Fix ordered.

"Yes sir." Rhys nodded.

Fox went through the building, looking for his target.

Soon he saw a figure standing at a big window overlooking the speeders bellow.

"Boyle?" Fox asked, his voice unable to betrayal the nerves he felt.

Boyle turned to look at Fox, a look of pure hatred on his face, Fox shuddered in horror at the jagged scar on his cheeck.

"So this is how far the guard has fallen, reduced to working with criminals." Boyle sneered, glowering at Fox.

"Boyle please, I cannot allow you to continue like this, please surrender, I can help you." Fox said.

Boyle shot Fox another hate filled glare that sent chills done his spine.

"I don't need or want your help Fox, you left me to die." Boyle growled.

"I tried to help you Boyle, I really did, I'm so sorry." Fox said.

Boyle pulled out a knife.

"Your apologies are worthless Fox, now I'm going to submit you to the fate, you left me to." Boyle growled lunging at Fox.

Fox quickly pulled out his baron and used it to parry Boyle's attack.

The two fought for several minutes but Boyle overpowered Fox.

"I wish it hadn't come to this Fox, I really don't...Farewell." Boyle said raising the knife above Fox's head.

A gunshot rang through the air and Boyle's knife fell from his grip.

Javier, Thorn and several men had their blasters aimed at Boyle.

Fox used Boyle's temporary distraction to pull out his blaster ad stun him.

The clones promptly arrested him.

The gang members were taken away.

"Thanks for your help Javier, but I'm afraid you're still under arrest." Fox said pulling out his handcuffs.

Javier nodded and Fox handcuffed him, putting him in a speeder.

"Commander Fox...thank you for helping me avenge my wife." Javier said.

Fox nodded and smiled before signalling for the speeder to leave.

The speeder took off and with that Javier was escorted away to serve his sentence.
