A/N: Okay, here's how I will 'organize' the story.
A Spy's Secret's will zoom on Soundwave's pregnancy, the sparkling(s) birth, and when he/she/they are older. Another story will be made to show what happens as he/she/they grow up (utter fluff!)
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO PICK A SPARKLING! I SUGGEST READING 'Awkward Moments with a Spy's Sparklings' TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPARKLINGS!
Disclaimer: No special thanks to disclaimer for stating the truth of me not owning Transformers!
BEGIN
Megatron, for seemingly the first time in eons, was smiling.
Why, you ask? He had managed to locate and recruit Barricade, the assassin, Shockwave, the scientist and medic, Thunderblast, the ninja-bot and his fan femme, and Sideswipe all in the same month. Also, he was able to capture and keep Soundwave, his new unwilling mate whom was quite easy to break, for the few days that remained until the birth of, what he hoped to be, his next heir. Orion still has not regained his memories as the, quote the Autobots, 'noble and great' Optimus Prime, leaving the Autobots with a weak untrained leader, Arcee, and disorganized. Breakdown, one of his traitors, has fallen in battle from his treachery, leaving Knockout without his guardian assistant and also, possibly, saddened from the great loss of a long-lasting friendship that might have bloomed into something more. Also, he had learned from Soundwave that Starscream, his ex-second-in-command, had not joined the Autobots but instead, like the coward of the groveling fool, decided to flee both sides, possibly, and Megatron hoped, to never return again. There was also the fact that Megatron didn't just have a heir, he might have two heirs to his throne so if he should fall, which was a highly unlikely fact, both of them should be successfully be able to rule together with their strong bond and possibly conquer the Autobots.
In layman's terms; all was running smoothly since, what felt like, forever.
"My lord," a strong, thick with British accent, voice called to him.
"Yes Shockwave?" Megatron rumbled, slightly surprised from the sudden interruption of his prideful thoughts.
Shockwave, the owner of the voice, did a quick bow. "Soundwave only has two days left until the sparklings are born," Shockwave put as much enthusiasm as he could into his voice which, not surprisingly, was a very small amount.
"Are you able to see their genders?"
"Negative, my lord. We are only able to guess from their size, one of which is considerably larger than the other, so my calculations say that you will be the father of both a mech and a femme."
"Good, you may return to whatever it is you're doing. I will handle Soundwave," Megatron waved off the soldier whom bowed and left the warlord to visit his 'mate.'
Soundwave silently lay on the medical berth, her delicate face showing no emotion. Over the past few days, Soundwave seemed to have lost all contact with reality, barely acknowledging any one who tried to speak with her. Shockwave logically concluded that Soundwave, due to the current events and what she saw, was losing her mind, thus her processor had created an 'alternate reality' for her to live in until she recovered from whatever trauma was ailing her. Another guess was that Soundwave's mind was in withdrawal from the sparklings' control over her, her processor was trying to regain its power over her body. Either way, in Megatron's opinion, she had never been more silent in her entire life.
"Let's go Soundwave," Megatron held out his servo towards the depressed femme.
Soundwave, instead of her usual hateful greeting, merely acknowledged him with a small glance. Her optics were the only thing projecting her inner turmoil to the world. It was almost as if she had given up on life. She gently clasped his servo and lifted herself off the berth to lean on Megatron, whether it was her own will or not, he would never know, she didn't care.
"It seems as if the Autobots have given up in the search for you," Megatron announced, feeling as if talking to himself, just like the past when he spoke to Soundwave, just trying to see the usual fire in her optics. He was extremely disappointed when the femme merely hung her helm and leaned even more heavily on the warlord.
"They haven't given up," Soundwave muttered, surprising the warlord with her now rare response.
"Either way, they will fall," Megatron smiled at his own statement, crushing all of Soundwave's hopes.
"Finally, what took you so long, femme," Barricade growled at the arriving femme whom was to join him for 'watching duty.'
"First, the name is Thunderblast, which I'm surprised you forgot because we're like… family," the femme winked while gesturing to her body, causing Barricade to snort and roll his optics. "Second, it never hurts to be fashionably late."
"Be glad I'm not reporting your late arrival…" Barricade rumbled while staring at a screen that showed several vehicons in the rec. room that were having a much more pleasant conversation.
Thunderblast laughed, "Honey, you know the Autobots won't come. It's been so long since we captured Sounders that it's possible they may have forgotten about her!"
Barricade, fighting the urge to just slap the femme across the face, merely grunted. "Don't be so sure, the Autobots are known to wait for surprisingly long times until their counterattacks."
"Party-slagger!"
"Glitch."
A negligible silence momentarily hung in the air.
"Are you going to fight Knockout if he arrives, brother," Thunderblast sighed, most likely recalling Cybertron's golden ages when her older brother, Barricade, was Knockout's, her 'sassy gay friend', mech-friend.
"I'm… not sure," Barricade muttered.
"I understand," Thunderblast quickly reverted to her usual cheery self, "if you don't want to fight him, then I will! I want to show him a thing or two for making my big bro' so sad!"
"Just don't kill him."
"No promises!"
"Thunderblast…" Barricade warned.
"Okay!" Thunderblast nodded before retreating to her post.
Flashback
"Hey big bro!" Thunderblast waved at a large black and white mech.
"Thunderblast, I'm busy…" Barricade sighed while putting away his newest creation, a samurai blade.
Thunderblast pouted, "But you said you would meet my friend!"
"Who?"
"Knockout you big dummy!" Thunderblast laughed. At her words, a rather attractive red mech joined the duo.
Barricade swore he melted through the floor as his optics got a full view of his sister's friend. He had a cherry red finish, an unusual color for a Kaon inhabitant, which suited him just fine. He held a cheeky grin on his face despite the fact that he was in the presence of a much larger mech. His deep sapphire optics showed both a fun-loving and intelligent mech, the combo of both extraordinarily hard to find. Barricade could hardly describe the rest of the mech for he was too stunning for him to properly process anything.
"Hey," the mech, Knockout, purred, "I suppose your name is Barricade. Thunders here always talks about you."
"O-oh, really?" Barricade smiled, "She talks about you all the time as well."
Knockout laughed, "Doesn't everyone do that now-a-days?"
"I'll leave you two to it!" Thunderblast skipped out, leaving the two mechs to their own conversation.
End Flashback
Knockout sighed at the memory. They had both grown so different since back then, now they fought on different sides and even have completely different jobs, one to save life and the other to destroy. He could only hope to save all three lives, Soundwave's and her sparklings, before anything happened to them.
The Nemesis has never scared him before, but now it seemed like his destroyer.
~Fin!
A/N: When I say fin, I mean 'end of chapter'. When the story ends, it will say end! Also, I may turn to updating monthly due to school and life. I have to wait nine more weeks more another reasonably long break to catch everything up….
VOTE ON A SPARKLING(S) OTHERWISE I WILL PICK!
…or at least review… please? On that note, does anybody miss a certain character? (Synch, Breakdown, Airachnid, Blaster, etc.) I will be willing to add them or put more scenes of them if you ask nicely… or at least review.
