prologue
15,000 years ago.
Lyra was lovey femme clerk working in Iacon. One day she met Megatronus a gladiator they became friends and talked to each other a lot they bot agreed that Cybertron's cast system was began to work together. One day the two of them fell in love. Megatronus was in love with Lyra and she was in love with him.
They went out many times together. They loved spending time together.
One night after a dinner date, Megatronus brought Lyra home with him. They enjoyed some music they started to dance to the music it was wonderful, but soon they started to kiss the kissing became passionate. Then they fell asleep in his bed. The sun came up, Megatronus and Lyra woke up when they were shocked and pretty embarrassed. "Megatronus sorry I was just." Lyra said blushing. 'This so embarrassing!' she thought. She climbed out of the bed.
"No I'm sorry I'm the one who started it." Megatronus said he pretty embarrassed. His face was pretty red with complete and total embarrassment.
"I better go home." Lyra said. She picked up her purse and got ready to go.
"See you later." Megatronus said.
"See you soon." Lyra said kissing him. She headed home thinking about the night she just had with Megatronus. She kind of enjoyed that night except when she woke up in bed with him that was pretty embarrassing for her.
Megatronus was thinking about it too. Maybe he could asked Lyra to marry him. But he worried about her rejecting him and being like his father. But right now all his thoughts were towards Lyra and how embarrassed he was. He hoped that next time they go to the others house that the same incident won't happen again.
Few weeks later after that night, Megatronus came before the council. Trying to help stop the horrid caste system to better Cybertron but he felt hatred of what he went through as child take over and started ranting. Lyra came up and spoke kindness and wisdom. Megatronus completely enraged stormed off, Lyra cried she didn't know what to do.
Megatronus who was now Megatron was so angry. Now he was hurt he walked out on the best thing in his whole life. But his anger overruled the hurt he was feeling. Deep down he wanted to go back to her and apologize. But the anger in his spark prevented it.
A couple of days later Lyra took the matrix and became Optima. She was filling a report today. She felt funny something was off she felt queasy. She had been feeling weird for a few weeks. She decided to see Ratchet to see what was wrong. He told her she was going to have a sparkling. He asked who was it. She told it was Megatronus before the big upset.
"It was the first time we did that with anyone he said he never did it with anyone and neither did I." she said.
"Sometimes this happens especially if it is the first time." Ratchet said. "But everything looks good." he said.
"I want to keep it." Optima said.
"Alright it's your decision." Ratchet said.
The council heard about it and Alpha Trion heard about it too. Streak-out was an arrogant member demanded Optima not to tell the father because he thought Megatron might act violently and he said it would be best if the child was out of the picture.
Alpha Trion told him that was enough of that. Streak-out huffed and crossed his arms. Optima just sighed she didn't really know what to think. All she knew was this her sparkling as well as Megatron's she wanted this war to end she hoped telling Megatron would make the war stop.
"Megatron I hope sometime we'll meet again and I will tell you that you are going to be a father." she said placing her hand on her middle.
Megatron was full of anger and pain. He still loved Lyra and now she was an enemy. Many Decepticons wanted to kill her but Megatron didn't want her to die he still loved her.
"Optima no matter what you will always be my love. The part of my spark I will desire the most." Megatron said.
Optima wanted to tell Megatron that he was going to be a father. That she was going to have his sparkling thinking it mind end the war before it goes to far.
Alpha Trion agreed and so did the rest of the council and the medical staff.
But Streak-out said it shouldn't be done. He said he knew what was best for Optima and knew what was best for Cybertron. Alpha Trion told him he had no say in matters of a prime including the prime's personal matters.
"But this is not good, who knows what that beast will do I know what's best I have Optima's and Cybertron's best interest at heart!" Streak-out snapped.
"Enough!" Alpha trion said.
Optima felt so troubled. She was so worried there was so much on her mind.
Megatron at the time still wasn't over Lyra. She was still the most beautiful creature he had ever seen. But was so full of anger and hate. He was so lost.
Optima wasn't still over Megatron. She wanted to tell him all about their child. She wanted to tell him he was going to be a father. She wanted tell him that she was going to keep it. She want to tell him what she was going to name the child Smokescreen.
"Megatron, I want tell you about the child we are going to have. I want you to know little Smokescreen." she said.
The months had passed and the war was growing harder to bear. Megatronus was feeling hurt and missing the only femme he ever loved. But the anger was clouding his mind.
Optima was month from her due date. Still wanting to tell Megatron about her because the sparkling was coming next month. But Streak-out wasn't happy about it still.
At a dinner with the other council members Streak-out demanded Optima get rid of the child as soon as it's born. Optima refused she wanted to keep her child. Streak-out was angry and told her he knew best. The other council members tried to stop him as Optima ran out upset.
Optima got hit by a speeding bot in vehicle mode. Rushed to a treatment center. Optima was wheeled into a treatment room. Ratchet and the other medics were looking at everything. The sparkling's pulse and spark beat didn't look good. "Rush her to the OR." Ratchet said. Optima was wheeled into the Operating room. One of the medics tried to put mask on her. But Optima pushed it away. Ratchet decided to talk to her.
"Optima your son is in danger we need to cut him out. It will be over soon don't worry." Ratchet told her.
Soon she was put under then Ratchet and the other medics did an emergency c section to try to save her child. Ratchet pulled out the sparkling who began to wail. "Good he seems alright." one of the medics said.
The nurses cleaned up the child and handed him to Ratchet to give him a check up.
Ratchet smiled at the happy healthy baby mech. "Sweet little Smokescreen I know your mommy Optima has been waiting for you, she is going to love you so much." Ratchet told the infant. "You are one happy healthy little sparkling." he laughed.
Smokescreen was making sparkling noises. Ratchet wrapped him up in a blanket. "There nice and cozy." he said. He put Smokescreen in a med bay crib.
Then he saw what Streak-out was doing putting the sparkling named Smokescreen up for adoption. "You can't do that! It's the mother's decision!" Ratchet said with anger in his voice.
"I am doing what is best for Cybertron and the prime that child will hurt her and make the war worst no one else can see that." Streak-out said.
"I will tell the rest of council." Ratchet threatened. He hoped that would make Streak-out stop. But he was wrong.
"If you do I will have you sent away and I will abandon the child in the middle of the war zone to die. If you don't the child will live and you will stay." Streak-out said with a smirk.
Ratchet was forced to keep silent. He wouldn't be able to live with himself either way. Ratchet picked up the child and apologized to Smokescreen. He felt bad for the child never going to know his mother's love.
Optima woke up she saw Streak-out, the other council members and Alpha Trion standing there. Optima looked around wondering where was her son. She wanted to see him and hold him.
Streak out kept and straight and solemn face. "Where is he?" Optima asked.
"I'm sorry he didn't make it." Streak-out said. Optima started to cry. "My little sparkling,no, no, no. My poor little Smokescreen gone. No, no, no" Optima cried with tears running down her face. Alpha Trion came over comforted her as did the other council members. Streak-out did not he felt to proud of himself and left.
"I hope you're happy." Ratchet said casting him a glare.
"I am I saved Cybertron." Streak-out said and left with his head held high.
Ratchet felt hurt. Alpha Trion came out later.
Alpha Trion talked to Ratchet in private he knew what Streak-out had done and he could jeopardize the child's life.
He told him when the time comes they might be able to tell Optima the truth and hopefully reunite mother and child and hopefully tell the father. Maybe just maybe tell the child the truth if he survives.
Smokescreen cried as the lady from the orphanage took him away. Ratchet never felt more ashamed of himself in his entire life. He hoped someday he could be forgiven and forgive himself.
"What is his name?" The lady asked.
"Smokescreen." Ratchet said.
"Don't worry we'll take good care of him." she said.
Ratchet sat down and covered his face with his hands and started crying. He felt like he betrayed his friend Lyra.
Optima was mourning her child.
While Megatron was busy interrogating a soldier. Unaware what Optima had just gone through.
Smokescreen was laying in a crib in the Orphanage crying. A worker came over and picked him up. She sat in a rocking chair and began to rock. Smokescreen finally went to sleep. "Poor little thing." the worker said.
To be continued.
