I DON'T OWN TRANSFORMERS G1 THEY BELONG TO TAKARA/HASBRO I ONLY OWN NIGHTWISH/ALERIA (A-LEER-AH)
A/n: I had this plot bunny in my brain for quite a bit and could not get it out of my head till I wrote it down. So here it is folks something that probably would be a romantic fic or not you decide. Besides this story is a G1 fic but everyone was upgraded to more modern stuff. Since I am too lazy to put up with the 80's stuff.
Oh and fair warning extreme OCC'ness and I will refer to Aleria as Nightwish when she is a transformer.
For those of you who want to flame do me a favor and just don't read if you don't like. So what if it is a Mary Sue I did warn you that there is some major OCC'ness. But I will tell you now that there is more to Aleria then a weakling girly girl.

THE DECEPTICONS SONGBIRD
Chapter 28: A Difficult Decision
----NEMESIS BASE, PLANET EARTH-----
Megatron stared at the screen for the longest time after Starscream had cut out the connection between them. The dark viewer was not something he was looking forward to but the seeker had been right about that one. He needed all the help he can get and just the main Decepticon force is not enough to stave off this enemy. Megatron then placed his fingers on his chin in a thoughtful manner a habit he developed from watching the puny fleshlings of this planet. As he watched and waited for the reports to come in from intelligence could already see where this was going.
As the numbers of the Senate force came in he was startled and angry that they could do this during the war. The Neutrals stayed that way long enough to know when to keep their noses out of others afts. Megatron for one was a mech who preferred to do things himself, but there are circumstances that he relies on his subordinates for delegation. As he also sought advice from them most of them were loyal idiots.
The only ones who were not were his highest officers.
That left only two Starscream and Soundwave both of which share his ideals as well as they are polar opposites. Starscream was a backstabbing traitor, rash and often violent; Soundwave is quiet and loyal but also deadly. He had his symbiotes with him at all times while Starscream has his trine. Megatron could not ask for better lieutenants with both of them at his side. He could be the best ruler the Decepticons had.
But this war was dragging on long enough and he grows tired of it. He bet his spark that Prime thought the same as well.
"Speaking of Prime," Megatron mused to himself as he reached for the controls.
----ARK BASE, PLANET EARTH----
Optimus Prime was not in the best of moods not after looking at the report that was handed to him by Jazz. His head of special ops was giving the report when he heard the news from Skyfire. It appears that Skyfire's younger brother Jetfire reported some strange sightings of a young femme seeker singing in a bar. That bar was in Kaon and owned by Shockwave and Soundwave's sister Heatwave a well known neutral and a bartender after an injury forced her to remain on the sidelines. The femme was big and tough but it was not enough to stop a group of mechs but she can stop a number of them before they could get to her.
From Jetfire's report the femme appeared out of nowhere at Heatwave's place and stopped a fight from continuing. Using her voice she did the forbidden and that was to do some music. As far as Optimus was concerned that music, art and anything to do with creativity and no logical things tend to get a mech killed. Most thought that there are loyalists to the late Senate but then again.
Jazz just returned with some reports from Cybertron about the recent activities involving the now alive Senators and their army that has been sighted just out of the Praxis system. There are more reports from various sectors across the galaxy. Optimus was very disturbed by this amount of information coming from them.
Was it all because of a single femme?
"Optimus sir there is a transmission for you," said Blaster the Autobot Communications Officer
"Alright patch it through Blaster," Optimus said into the comm.
The image of Megatron was very evident in the monitor in Prime's office.
"What do you want Megatron," Optimus said with a hint of annoyance at the Decepticon High Lord.
"I have come merely to talk Prime about some….stuff," he said
"Oh really as I recall some stuff includes blowing me up and conquering the universe," Optimus replied
"Well this case is different I call for a cease fire," Megatron said
"Last time you said that you wanted only to reload your weapons and blow the place up," Prime replied
"Well this time I mean it until the Senate is dealt with," Megatron said
Now this had gotten Prime's attention.
"I am sure you are aware of the threat the Senate poses to both our sides and our ideals," Megatron said to Optimus and the Autobot commander nodded.
"Go on,"
"Well I had a few little 'incidents' with a group of my soldiers recently that involves them and a civilian," Megatron said
"You mean the femme?" Optimus asked
"Yes the femme she has no information if you are asking that all she has is a lovely voice and at first I considered her to be my pet since she was a human, but now she is Skywarp's sparkmate or spark intended. It started out as a master pet relationship but now it is different. I had not seen that one coming but what can I say I am old and ugly but we are getting off the subject here," Megatron stated
"That femme is a singer a forbidden artist and I am sure you have one on your ship as well. The Senate started to expose themselves when she started to sing to the patrons in that bar." He said
"You mean Heatwave's?" Optimus asked
"Yes, according to the report I gotten from Starscream that was the trigger to bring the senate out for the one thing they hate more then a visual artist is an audio artist. If they can restore Cybertron to where everyone is free to express their feelings then the Senate loses control. You know how that goes not even I will deny my troops the chance at some entertainment," Megatron said.
"Neither do mine," Optimus replied back
"The reason why I made this call is exactly as stated we need to form a temporary truce for now," Megatron stated
"Oh really?" Prime said
"Like we have a choice on that one," Megatron said
"We," Optimus said
"My fellow commanders agreed that now is not the time to fight each other but to unite and fight a common enemy. I have with me the records of what had happened to the events of the war as have you hidden somewhere protected." Megatron stated
"You do realize that I fight for the freedom of all sentient beings right?" Prime said
"Well what do I fight for total conquest the reason I am fighting for it is because I want the people to be able to be free and to unite as one once more. For Cybertron to once again express her true beauty as she once was…" both stopped and looked each other in the optics a little better an understanding braking between them.
"Let me speak to my chain of command first and see what they think and then I will get back to you," with that Optimus Prime signed out.
----SOMETIME LATER-----
The Autobots gathered in the war room with Optimus Prime at the helm waiting for the rest of his subordinates to arrive. Finally the doors opened and Perceptor with Skyfire walked right in. The doors closed behind them as they all sat down to hear what Prime just said.
After explaining what Megatron offered the war council was silent until Prowl spoke up.
"Sir with all due respect this could be a trap," he said
"I know that Prowl and I am well aware of it but the reports from both Jetfire and Ultra Magnus suggested otherwise," Optimus replied as they watched the thing play out.
"So what do we do?" asked Perceptor
"I'd say we agree," said Wheeljack
"How do you know that he won't go back on his word," said Ratchet as he sat there staring at their leader.
"I have a feeling that this one is genuine.
-----DARKMOON BASE, KAON CITY CYBERTRON-----
Soundwave was out at the moment leaving Skywarp, Swindle and Astrotrain with Nightwish as they practiced. Swindle was struggling with his recently damaged arm. The practice stopped when Swindle once again screwed up a note.
"Hey man get that thing checked," Astrotrain said to the Combaticon.
"I'm fine," Swindle said and even Skywarp saw that he was not.
"No your not man I mean even Soundwave was smart enough to go to the medbay for repairs and you should too. That last skirmish with the Autobots has gotten to you," said Skywarp remembering the previous day when they got into a fight with some Autobots for stealing their stash of Energon.
That skirmish led to several 'Cons in the med wing and that included Soundwave who was caught in the blast of an explosive. Swindle looked like he tried to hide something when Nightwish saw it.
"Swindle your bleeding!" she said as she ran to him.
Swindle winced when Nightwish examined the wound.
"Skywarp he is hurt bad it seems the wound goes all the way to his chest cavity," she said and this time Astrotrain got up to him being the one with ground mech medical training.
"Swindle you slag heap this is bad enough to kill you!" he said outraged
"But I wanted to be here for practice," he said
"Practice doe not include you getting scraped!" this time Skywarp was shouting at him.
"I hate to say this but Swindle you are out of the band until you are fully repaired got it," he said
"But the auditions is in the next three orns!" he said
"Your life is more important then music man we can find someone to replace you till you are all better got it?" Astrotrain said and Swindle nodded before Skywarp placed a hand on his good shoulder and warped them to the medbay.
"Why is this happening?" Nightwish said just as Skywarp returned.
"I think it is just Primus's way of testing us," Astrotrain said
"Soundwave is due out of the medbay within the next orn or so, so he is alright but Swindle I just talked to Hook and the damage is extensive." Said Skywarp as he held Nightwish close to him.
-----CONTROL ROOM-----
Starscream had heard what Megatron reported and from the looks of it the Autobots have reluctantly agreed to the terms but what was more disturbing is the report he had gotten from Skywarp and Astrotrain about Swindle. Soundwave he was glad that the mech was going to make a full recovery but the Combaticon was out of it from the way that Hook said it.
He needed to find a replacement 2nd guitarist/bassist before the time of the broadcasts.
It was then that Megatron answered his problem.
"Megatron to Starscream come in," he said
"Starscream here oh great leader; what is thy bidding?" he said sarcastically
"Cut the slag Starscream and give me a report!" Megatron ordered
"There was an attack on one of our supply areas sir and several Decepticons were caught in the after fire," Starscream replied
"Who exactly and what numbers?" was the question
"Soundwave, the Combaticons, several of Shockwave's troops sir that I don't have identities for yet," said Starscream
"Well at least that was before the cease fire," Megatron reported
"The Autobots have agreed? I thought they would never agree?" Starscream stated
"You underestimate Optimus Prime then he was reluctant but he agreed after some persuasion," Megatron said to Starscream
"Well that is a relief as much as we don't want to we need their help and what is worse is that our bait is short handed. It appears as if Swindle is out and they need a bassist/2nd guitarist and I am unfortunately unable to find one on both bases," Starscream said
"Have you tried others?" Megatron demanded
"Yes and unfortunately none have come forward and after much testing but all the commanders none fit the bill," he stated
"Well then find someone and when you do give a full report," Megatron demanded and cut the connection.
----SEVERAL DAYS LATER----
Sideswipe did not like this one bit as he entered the Darkmoon base. Ever since coming back to Cybertron and having witnessed the destruction that was caused because of it he longed to go back to earth. As both he and Sunstreaker exited the space bridge into the Darkmount base on Cybertron; Shockwave was surprisingly hospitable to them as they were led out to a transport that would take them to Darkmoon in Kaon.
When they arrived along with several other Autobots as a form of exchange they spotted the seekers right away. They tried to resist the urge to Jet Judo them out of the sky. Sideswipe in particular had a bit of a time as they were moved into their quarters. The decision had been difficult for them all but he had hope that it would work out unlike his brother who kept thinking that his paintjob will be ruined in the fight.
He just hoped that everything would be alright.
