Dreamer: Tentenenen! Welcome to the second chapter of Little Cybertronians where everything is as fluffy as it could get with big mechs turn to sparklings and as the younglings on base try hard to keep them at bay!

Lil' Soundwave: Creator:Weird Assesment: Needs to go to d' Medical Faciwity.

Dreamer: *dramatically cries* Not you too wave~! The others have been calling me weird lately… It hurts my spark…

Lil' Soundwave: Query: Does creator even have spark?

Dreamer: *pouts* Even as a baby, you are still an enigma to me… *grabs the sparkling* Come on before she gets here and slags me truly.

Lil' Soundwave: Affiwmative.

Dreamer: Awww~! How cute! I wish I could have you all…

Lil' Soundwave: Action: Impossi-eble. *drifts into recharge*

Dreamer: Well, I could dream, can't I? Back to her quarters, you are!

Time Frame: 1 Cycle (first day)

The only youngling femme in the ship called Nemesis had been all over her quarters as she paced back and forth to try and plan out what to do.

After calming down the little Lord in her arms, Sync had let him down on her berth as she tucked him comfortably. She then spread out her arms to the other two to welcome them and see whether they would want to have the same treatment as the Lord for fair share of lovin'.

In spite of being a Decepticon, she was a lot more of an Autobot to the rest of them. None of her mechs would point that out to her for fear of her defecting to the other but she already knew about it. She just tends to brush them off because they were the reason for making her like this. They were the ones she was grateful for although their funny status of being sparkles. Without any participation in fights, spars and brawls, she come to just take what she could get out of them and take care of the slaggers with their resident medic, Hook.

Back to the situation at hand, Starscream was the first to move into her arms while slowly, Soundwave followed. She was a little unnerved that they would just go and accept her comfort without a complaint unlike Megatron. I mean really… It was processor scrambling that their SIC who she had known to be a screechy picky seeker and the ever so cold and silent Communications Officer were clinging onto her.

She had deduced that this was going to be a fun cycle if ever they don't turn back to original state within the time frame they have… Taking about time, she has to worry about other things.

She had steeled herself in her quarters and made sure that she wasn't stressing her little companions after she had that fit earlier. She took the two to where their Lord was and placed them on it with a smile. She had observed that the SIC was a lot more clingy than the others while Soundwave look so innocently curious and not non-expressive for once with his two little cassettes to cuddle.

Before leaving them, she had made them obey strict orders of not leaving the room until she comes backs. She didn't know whether it was a curse or a blessing that they had taken a liking to her quarters and refused to go anywhere she wasn't in… except for Megs and Star, of course.

As she strode down the silent hallways of the ship, she had made a mental list on what she should do about them being sparklings… Even though she was deprived of the outside world since she was sparked, it was fair knowledge that there has been a declining number of sparks since the war started. Among these sparks, according to her gathered intel, was the critically low level of newly sparked. She doesn't know what happened but she had an idea that they had gone into hiding or were deactivated inevitably in the crossfire of the two faction as the Allspark had been locked down and was not given the time to spark a new frames.

Groaning in realization with all her thinking, she was currently stuck. There were lots of things she needed to get in order to take care of all of sparkling, right? Also, sparklings shouldn't be even left like what she did for she had a crash course with Hook that they would find things and get curious… How in Primus would she do this if she doesn't find any other unturned Decepticons in their base… What about the others who were on patrol?

This was like one of those conversations turned to reality. A reset button must have been pushed but judging from the way her Lord was acting and moving, he somehow retained some of his mech memories. And how did he know that it was the Autobots fault?

Accessing her data base that would bring shame to the vaults of Iacon in some way like being updated or not lost, she accessed whatever information she has about different types of sparklings and their characteristics. She also needed all her data about how to take care of them and the things that she should expect in the process.

After that search, she went on the hunt to locate any ones that hadn't been affected by their sudden event. The only ones she could find on the base to help her out in their dilemma was Barricade, Knockout, Skywarp, Motormaster and some others that she knew where not in the category of the infected although she would think twice or trice if ever she wants to let them help.

Her Decepticon companions were not really for taking care of sparklings material… but if the Lord and some others had manage to retain their personalities and memories, then they could perhaps improvise at some point.

She can also deduce in her hunt that all of the mechs that are in their final frame had been reduced to sparklings. Checking the entire deck was hard with the constant ping she receives from the lil' officers she had in her quarters but she had manage to round the base… although she can't think of why had Ravage and Laserbeak turn in the same way when they were just new younglings.

When she came back with some low energon mix, she analyzed what she had gathered. Barricade would be easy to ask for help. There was a probability that he would help her but in spite of it being low, she would black mail him if she has to, given that personality of his. That other youngling was just admitted to the main group rank after a mission he was in and after he had displayed his talent in front of the higher ups. She got to know him a lot due to being in the med bay when she visits or with the Lord whenever she was called upon.

On the other hand, she had deduced that their only resident trained medic was not so trained but can cope was Knockout. She was thankful that she had someone to rely on partially when someone gets injured but that didn't really ease her that she has to force him to study Hook's medical datapads to refresh what he called 'jumbled up processor' of his.

Least to her worries was Skywarp since he was a seeker. She had already known that seekers have this sparkling protocol in them that would help her in every way possible although he was still young for it to be fully activated. He would also be able to communicate with the sparklings other than her. She was surprised that Sky wasn't one of them who had turned but given the fact that he was the youngest among his trine, it would be shocking if he had.

Blackout was somewhere here but she would seek for him later. She had received a message from 'Cade that the copter was last seen to be at the other side of the ship, hiding from the infestation he deems to be happening. If she ever finds out that the flyer had maltreated one of the sparklings, he would be put into the pit by her servos.

Then, there was the cone-heads that she had managed to find with their leader as a sparkling. While she was given the leader, the other two had gone and promised to be back with the supplies that they would need after they were debriefed by her on what was really happening. They had said that if there was more than a dozen sparklings within the base, this could get messy which she agreed to.

When she found Motormaster, she was amused that he was banging his helm on the wall while his team was driving him crazy while playing in the background. They were playing something with the personality of an innocent scraplet but from the hyper mood they were in and the not so innocent glint in their optics… she could tell otherwise.

Motormaster had seen her enter their quarters and had immediately grab hold of her shoulders to plead that the spit spawns should be taken care of which she immediately disagreed to and had taken out her only weapon to knock the youngling out to keep him from off lining his now little team. Her trusty kick could always pack a punch than her servos.

For fear of the other youngling trying to do what he had pleaded from her, she had Barricade take the rowdy group of sparklings into the room besides hers. She doesn't want them in the same room as the Lord, Star and Wave so they could play all they want given the energy they have. Also, they weren't safe from her guidelines and orders as they left with Barricade.

Now, she was at her own quarters as her processing was suddenly cut off when Skywarp suddenly appeared in an instant in front of her. She had forgotten that the seeker has this own unique ability to warp with how busy they had been.

"Sky, what is the report about the materials that the Coneheads were gathering? Has Mixmaster had problems with his team?" She asked softly as she cradled Starscream in her arms, already half way through recharging after an energon feeding session that he hadn't protested to.

"Talking about the Coneheads, they are in one of the largest vaults we have and are currently making a safe house for them to get in when the other faction charges at us in our state, Sync. About the Mixmaster and the others though… I think we should place them into a training exercise first to lengthen their patience with them." Skywarp grinned as he debriefed her that the Decepticons that she had tasked to be sitters were in half way through breaking her order of taking care of their charges and banging their helms on the walls. They would need more walls soon…

"Although, I can say that I didn't think that some of the mechs could retain their memories… Hook is currently teaching Knockout in his sparkling frame of his! It was hilarious…" The seeker mused as the femme laughed. She pictured poor Knockout having to learn from a sparkling non-the less to be quite humiliating.

"Tell Hook to go easy on the mech… After being in his care for several decacycles until now, it was like going into the smelters for some reason…" She cooed at Soundwave who had made his way on her lap to get comfortable in his recharge.

"So… when are we going to the other base to see what in the pit is really happening?" She had debriefed the seeker and the others about the Lord's theory that this has something to do with the Autobots. Skywarp had presented his self to get to the other faction's base since their communications officer was not in the current state to operate his job… and because that was the only things they could do without past the knowledge of fighting in battles.

Before she could speak, there was a sudden loud explosion throughout the base that startled every single one of them. The two had no time to stare at each other when Sky disappeared in a flash. Sync was torn on leaving the scraplets again but then decided that if Skywarp coms her, then she would follow.

She stroked the little ones to recharge again after deeming it still early for them to awaken. Starscream lay next to the Lord that took the left side of her berth. She couldn't help feel amused as the lil' seeker was being pushed away by one of the Lord's servo by in the faceplates, preventing the other from to go a sparkling-arm length near him.

Soundwave on the other hand, was at their feet now with Ravage and Laserbeak curled besides him. They had earlier found out that the lil' mech's frame was too small to call in his cassettes inside. It was painful for him so she had banned him from doing so. He took no offense when even his cassettes had agreed with her.

It took a few kliks but she was then called. "Sync, you might want to come here fast!" She heard the urgency in Skywarp's voice throught their coms and it had her standing up and rushing. Before she could leave fully though, she had set a data pad on the berth with her orders and then coding the door behind so they wouldn't be able to go outside but another youngling could.

"What happened, Sky?" She hastily reached the other with Barricade rummaging through the room. Knockout was there with Lil' Hook and trying hard not to drop the other sparkling he has.

"Find out for yourself… Someone had been a bad scraplet…" The seeker said that made her raise an optic ridge. She then peered inside and found that it was Shockwave's lab…

"Don't tell me…" She said in disbelief at the audience that was pilling up.

"Yeah… this was one of the things I also fear from them... having retained their files-" Skywarp said grimly as TC was deposited into his arms. The little seeker was silent at the moment.

They waited a bit before Barricade emerged from the room with a glaring little Shockwave in his servo, hanging.

Lil' Soundwave: Query: Is Creator going to leave?

Dreamer: Aw… are you shooing me away, Wave? *pouts*

Lil' Soundwave: Affirmative. Reason: Femme is unavailing others to go into recharge with her optics.

Dreamer: *sheepishly* Oh, sorry about that lil' buddy but Sync said that I should look after you. She is currently busy with our resident trouble maker.

Lil' Soundwave: Query: Ask if I may know?

Dreamer: Wow, you are really polite and talkative than I had expected… Is that the side effects of turning into a sparkling?

Lil' Soundwave: *gots up and leave*

Dreamer: *shocked* Wait! I didn't mean to! Come back, Wave! *Runs to catch him* I am so slagged again… Better prepare to get back to the Ark. And by the way MarkJewel... *smiles* Welcome to the club! Wanna babysit the little rascals?

*Soundwave glares*

Dreamer: Oh come on! I can't handle you little trouble makers alone!

*Soundwave disappears*

Dreamer: *sighs* Oh well... *gets up and runs after the mech*
