Chapter 1

A/N: I sadly don't own TFP or The Little Mermaid. But I do own my OCs. For the mermaid tail styles think of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

*Soundwave's telepathy*

A ship rode through the slightly rough waters of Cybertron's Sea of Rust. The crew working hard as always, singing as they went.

I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue

And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho

Look out, lad, a Decepticon may be waiting for you

In the mysterious fathoms below

A girl with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a simple blue top, and black tight fitting pants stood at the side of the boat, looking out at the sea in excitement. "Isn't this great! The wind and spray of the sea in your face?! Perfect day to sail! Isn't it?" she asked looking at several other people.

"Wonderful Moonrose, just wonderful," an older man said looking a little sea sick.

"C'mon Ratchet, lighten up!" another woman, queen of the Autobot empire, Elita One said.

"Fine seas, and strong winds! Lord Megatron must be in a friendly mood today," one sailor nearby said.

"Lord Megatron?" Moonrose asked.

"The ruler of the Decepticons lass, thought every good sailor knew about him," the sailor laughed.

"Please," Moonrose's father, Optimus Prime, said, "the Decepticons are a myth."

"No, they aren't," the sailor said holding a fish. "I'm telling you they're down there in the depths of the ocean just-!" He stopped as the fish flew out of his hand and back into the sea.

-.-

Down in the depths many mermaids and mermen swam towards a large violet, and black palace. Going into it they all sat in a large amphitheater. Once everyone was seated a sea dragon, appeared and stood tall, "Introducing his royal highness, Lord Megatron."

Then a large water carriage came in being pulled by two oceanic predacons, the merman driving it was tall, with jet-black hair, gleaming red eyes, and a silver and violet tail. Holding up his black trident, he shot a purple light at the main chandelier lighting the room. Getting out of the carriage, he sat down on a throne.

"And introducing the royal advisor, and court composer, Soundwave," the announcer said.

This time a merman with black-violet hair, violet eyes, and a matching violet and black tail swam in.

"I'm really looking forward to this performance Soundwave," Megatron smiled.

*This will be the finest concert I've ever done. Your children will do magnificently,* the telepath said.

"Especially my eldest," Megatron smirked.

*Yes, your son has the most wonderful voice,* Soundwave said with a bow before turning away. *If only he'd show up for rehearsals once and awhile.* He tapped the music stand with his conducting stick, getting the band's attention, and they began playing. On cue, three clams popped up, and opened revealing five teens, three girls and two guys.

We are the children of Megatron

Great father who loves us and named us well

Eclipse

At her name, a mermaid with bright red eyes, black hair, and a black, silver, and violet tail, swam off her clam, and sang a few notes.

Lightningstrike

One of the boys shot up, he had short black hair, dark-blue eyes, and a silver tail with black and red streaks.

Thunderblast

The other boy shot up, next to his twin, the only difference between the two was their tails; his tail was silver, with violet streaks.

Dawnfire

A girl with strawberry blonde hair shot up, her electric blue eyes sparking, her red and azure tail stood out against the darker colors of the room.

And Luna

The youngest shot up, her golden blonde hair flowing behind her, she had sky-blue eyes, and a silver tail with blue streaks. Like the others she sang a few notes, before joining her siblings near a clam as it rose up.

And then there is our oldest in his musical debut

Our proud older brother we're presenting him to you!

To sing a song Soundwave wrote

His voice is like an angel's

He's our brother Bumble…

They all gasped in shock as the clam opened and there was no one in there. They all turned to see Megatron steaming with rage, trident glowing red. "BUMBLEBEE!"

-.-

An eighteen year-old merman popped up near a sunken ship mast. His somewhat shaggy black and blonde hair floating near the base of his neck, and his bangs wandering into his eyes. He had bright electric, icy-blue eyes, a purple Decepticon tattoo on his left shoulder, and an unusual tail, his tail was black with yellow stripes and had little spines going along the back down the middle, and five sharp blades that came out of the two main fins. The blades were different lengths, longest at the side, shortest in the middle. Around his neck a small silver chain with a little violet decepticon symbol hung.

"Bumblebee!" a small brown oceanic/land going predacon called as he was swimming up.

"Raf! Hurry up!" 'Bee snapped.

"You know I can't swim that fast," Raf said as he swam up.

'Bee rolled his eyes, then turned his attention on the recently sunken ship. "Look, doesn't it look amazing?"

"Yea, sure," Raf said. "Can we go now?"

"Of course not!" 'Bee said. "We need to see what's on it. Don't get cold fins now." He smirked and swam towards the ship.

"I'm not, but I've got this cough…" Raf said as his friend sat near a porthole.

"Ok," he said, "you can stay here and watch for sharks." With that he managed to slide his muscular form through the small window.

"Ok…wait, what? Sharks!? Bumblebee!" Raf called trying to swim through the porthole, but he got stuck. "Bumblebee help!"

'Bee laughed as he swam over, and grabbed Raf's front paws starting to pull. "You're such a guppy!"

"Am not!" Raf snapped, as he finally got through. His best friend just shook his head smiling, as he went to explore. "This is great…excitement…adventure…danger around every…" he said to himself as he ran into a skeleton. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH! BUMBLEBEE!" He swam into 'Bee sending both of them to the floor.

"You ok?" 'Bee asked seeing his friend shaking.

"Y-yea…f-f-fine," Raf managed to say.

'Bee was satisfied by the answer, and looked up, seeing a way into another room. Looking around the room, he smiled widely as he spotted a fork. "Primus! Raf? Have you ever seen something so wonderful and strange in your whole life?"

"No…what is it?" Raf asked.

"Not a clue!" 'Bee grinned. "But I bet Miko will!" he said putting the fork in a small bag he had.

A shadow passed in the window, and Raf freaked out slightly. "Did you see that?"

"No," 'Bee said as he picked up a pipe. "I wonder what this is?"

"'Bee I really think we should go," Raf begged.

"Chill, nothing's gonna happen," 'Bee said rolling his eyes, picking up a few more things.

A split second later a Great White was eating its way through the room, trying to eat the two. "SHARK! SHARK! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Raf screamed in terror.

'Bee rolled his eyes and grabbed his friend, leading him out the way they came in. The shark took the same way, but it just burst through the wall. It chased them around a mast, and Raf ran into the part that held the sails, disorienting him. The shark lunged at Raf, but 'Bee shot in the way, flipping, swinging his sharp tail blades over the shark's muzzle, causing it to retreat from the intense pain to its sensitive nerves in that area. "You ok?" he asked.

"I've been better," Raf said swimming up. "C-can we go?"

"Now we can go," 'Bee smiled as he swam up to the surface.

-.-

A female albatross with black and pink feathers sat on a large rock in the water. She looked out over the ocean through a telescope she found.

"Miko!"

Miko turned her telescope, and saw 'Bee and Raf a little ways off waving at them. "WHOA! MERMAN OFF THE PORTBOW! BUMBLEBEE HOW YA DOING MAN?!" she shouted lowering the telescope to see 'Bee sitting a few feet in front of her. "Way to swim!"

"Look what we found!" 'Bee said dumping his bag's contents onto the rock.

"Autobot stuff! Let's have a look!" Miko said.

"I haven't seen one of these in a while," she said holding the fork.

"What is it?" both boys asked.

"A dinglehopper," she said making 'Bee go wide-eyed. "Autobots use these to straighten their hair out."

"A dinglehopper," 'Bee said putting it back in the bag, he then pulled out the pipe. "How about this?"

"When was the last time I saw one of these?" Miko asked herself.

"Well what is it?"

"This is a snarflat," Miko said. "This is one of the oldest musical instruments of humans, it was invented during the time when they used to sit around and stare at one another all day," she said getting in his face. "That's very boring. So the made the snarflat to make beautiful music." She then blew it, but it was stuffed.

"Music…" 'Bee said wincing. "Oh…the concert, Primus, Dad is gonna kill me!" He hastily shoved everything in his bag.

"That was today?" Raf asked horrified.

"Thanks guys!" 'Bee said as he dove underwater.

-.-

"That's it boy, swim on home. We wouldn't want to miss daddy's celebration would we?" a merman asked. Sliding out of a smaller cave within the huge cavern, he revealed himself, he had grey-red hair, and bright eyes. He didn't exactly have a regular tail, instead of a tail he had grey, red, and white tentacles. "Celebrate ha! In my day we had magnificent feasts," he said picking up a cowering shrimp, "when I lived in the palace. Exiled, and practically starving while he and his empire celebrate. Well, I'll give them something to celebrate!" He tossed the shrimp in his mouth. "ARACHNID! LOCKDOWN!" the merman snapped, and a mermaid and merman appeared.

The merman had black hair, green eyes, and a green and black tail. The mermaid looked a bit like Soundwave, she had a violet and black tail, black hair, and violet eyes.

"I want you two to keep an eye on this rebellious prince, he may be the key to Megatron's undoing…"
