Do you notice on your birthday you don't feel any older? Like, if you hit a "big" age, you don't feel any different. Will it be this way when we hit 30 or 40 and think; damn I'm old when you really aren't. You still got like 70+ years ahead of you. Just think, back in the day, people were dying by 40. That's why they had sex with 13 year olds. Yes I am talking about the days with Christopher Columbus and the new world. Don't get me started on Pocahontas. Damn Disney, warping our perception on things. I'm okay. I'm only 20 and I'm writing yaoi. Does that make me pathetic?

The nightmare's had begun. Everyone was having them. Nothing could stop them. Since the Predicons didn't attack for real, everyone was on edge, but worse, tired. That's when things started to really go downhill. Tigertron wasn't responding to his summons. Airazor was nowhere to be found and the tension was so thick you could cut it with an energon blade. Optimus was the first to wake out of his nightmare. Dinobot soon followed, along with Rattrap. Thankfully, they had awoken in separate rooms. Everyone ran out of the base. Dinobot had the intent of killing Rattrap. Everyone ended up getting separated. Megatron was close by, listening to the screams leaving the base.

"And now the hunt begins."

Samantha was walking on the ground next to him. Megatron was reluctant to let her come. Black Arachnia was in the front beating on a drum. Tarantulas and Scorpinoc were holding Megatron up on his chair. Megatron had his gun across his lap and a martini in his hand. Samantha was looking into a stream when she saw his reflection. She turned and jumped on him.

"What's that?"

"It's a mixture of energon and fermented fruit."

"No, none for you, no alcohol. Bad, bad Megatron."

She grabbed it out of his hands and jumped back down onto the ground. He looked over to her. She downed it then rinsed it out in the stream. She handed the glass back with water in it.

"What's this?"
"Water. Until we pass some fruit that's what you get."

"Bossy tonight isn't you?"

She stuck her tongue out at him then climbed onto a nearby rock. She wanted onto his lap. As he passed, she lifted herself onto him. He held her for a while then felt her forehead. He turned to look at her face to find it red. He started laughing.

"You can't drink can you?"

She just looked at him then placed her head back onto his chest. Megatron raised his hand. Inferno came up beside him.

"Carry her with you. You and the other fliers go hunt down the rest of the Maximals but Optimus Primal is mine."

And as well you know, he has great reason for wanting to hunt him down. Inferno grabbed Samantha and placed her on his thorax. He used his two hind legs to hold her up. It was kind of like riding a motorcycle. He didn't want her legs to get burnt by his flame. Inferno led his hunting party as Megatron had ordered. The others continued on the ground. Megatron was the first to spot Optimus. He was up in a tree, vines near him and he was, apparently, having too much fun with the tree. (You know what I mean.) As Megatron aimed his weapon, he couldn't help but laugh at him. He knew that Optimus was now a walking erection. He was going to fuck everything in sight. Megatron soon got bored and fired. Optimus saw the bullet and managed to dodge it. Megatron wasn't too happy.

"Well, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

Little known to everyone, Tigertron and Airazor had set up their plans and were fulfilling them. Tigertron had already found Cheetor and Rhinox. It was just a matter of time until he found the others. Rattrap was still running like mad from Dinobot. He didn't know whether Dinobot was going to kill him, rape him, or both. Neither did Dinobot. But it was the thrill of the hunt that he was caught up in. Rattrap had two choices, left or right, a clearing, or a closed in space with lots of trees. He chose the closed in space. Dinobot followed, hoping he would soon catch his prey.

Airazor flew down into the Predicon base. Looking carefully through the base, hoping as to not set off any alarms. It didn't take long to find it.

"Oh come on, can't tell me ol' Megs didn't forget to lay a booby trap."

A gun came out as soon as Airazor's arm blocked out the light. Instinctively shooting it out.

"Gotta love him."

Airazor wanted to join the fight back had to return to the base, everyone needed his or her sleep.

Tigertron had now found Optimus and Dinobot. He knew Rattrap was near. He began to speak to them.

"Hear me Maximals, you must get control over yourselves."

At first they were reluctant but soon started listening. Tigertron explained how they could get rid of their problem. After many minutes of fighting back, soon the program block had been deleted out of their systems. They could talk again. Rattrap came from out of the bushes babbling out loud.

"I'm a rat and a robot. I'm happy being normal again. This is what I like."

"I do not see why."

Rattrap and Dinobot almost had another one of their little fights but were stopped by Tigertron.

"Talk about your nick of time. What know big cat?"

"Remember, your beast forms and your robot forms are now one. Let them work in harmony. But for now, let's kick some butt.

Megatron saw fire off into the distance. He knew that they had their bodies back. Oh crap was going through his head but he said something completely different.

"Uh oh."

(It's cute though. I had to add it.) Optimus came flying out of the jungle; he transformed in mid air and kicked Megatron right off of his chair. Rhinox and Rattrap ganged up on Terrorsaur. Then Rhinox took out Scorpinoc and Waspinator. Inferno had to make sure he was far away. He had to protect the little royalty that was asleep on his back. Dinobot had lunged at Black Arachnia and had her pined on the ground. Optimus grabbed Megatron up off the ground, lifted him above his head then threw him down. Megatron tried to land as softly as possible. (If you noticed, Optimus' hand was between his legs as he picked him up. I don't look for this shit it just pops up.) He turned over and ordered his troops to retreat. Optimus and others took it as a victory. Megatron swore his would be back.

As they got back to the base, Samantha was back to normal, and getting a bed ready for him. She was acting frantic. As Megatron walked in, he knew she wasn't back to normal yet.

"Are you alright? You got hurt didn't you? Lay here. I'll go get juice box for you."

She left the room leaving him alone with Inferno. Megatron looked over to him from the floor.

"I thought you said she was back to normal."

"I thought she was. I'm sorry for the error Royalty."

"You are forgiven."
That's when Megatron noticed a chart in the corner of the room.

"What's that for?"

"That's for you to take."

Megatron grabbed the glass out of her hand.

"I'm not taking that."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not Samantha. I have no need of eye exam."

"I think you do. Just humor me."

Megatron mumbled but soon gave into her. She brought the chart closer. She pointed to the first set of letters

"A… V… L…"

She kept moving down the list of letters. He was correct on all of them so far. She got down to the bottom.

"F… U… C… I can't make out that last one."

(I hope you know where that came from.)

"Ha, see you are sick. Stay in the nest and I'll get you something to eat. I just have to go catch it first."

"Stay!"

Megatron was no longer giving her a choice. He pulled her down and forced her to lie next to him. Inferno grabbed a part of the blanket and covered them with it. Megatron poked her nose.

"You're not really worth all this trouble."

"I think she is. She may not look it but she has been a great help to us."

"I suppose so."

A few weeks had passed. Megatron was still all right and so was the child. He was just starting to get more and more moody. He was with Tarantulas that day. He was strapped back down on that table.

"So, even after a fall like that and you're still alive. The baby must be stronger then I thought."

Megatron took some pride in that fact.

"Any more sickness?"
"Not really. I still have it sometimes but not so much anymore. Samantha is making too big a deal out of this, yesss."
"Of course, even though she's not carrying the child, her maternal instincts are kicking in. She's going to be a part of this whether you like it or not. Unless she gets her own baby."

Megatron just smiled.

"Oh don't even think it. You are in no position to be trying to impregnate someone. You need your rest."

"Do you have anything for these mood swings?"
"Unfortunately not. There's nothing I can do for that. You'll just have to get by. If there's anything you need done, I suggest you do it now."

Megatron was taking everything into consideration. So much needed to be done. It had been days since his last attempt on the Maximals. Even though they were blind, they still managed to survive. Persistent bastards. Megatron noticed his swings were getting worse. He told Samantha not to listen to him. One minute he would love her, then she would do something and he would just snap. She knew he didn't mean it but it still hurt. Things had to be sped up. The next plans were now in motion. Everything had to be perfect. Something had entered the computer. Waspinator was thrown back.

"Damage report."
"Moderate. Wazzpinator zzinged but zztill functional."
"Not you imbecile, the computer."

Waspinator got back up, trying to lift the computer but nothing would respond no matter what he did.

"What izz thizz? Program doezz not rezzpond, Wazzpinator not underzztand."

"I'll bet Waspinator seldom does. But don't let bother you bug face."

Something jumped out of the computer and into Waspinator's body. Terrorsaur saw him go flying but did nothing to help him. Megatron was in the main room clearing his throat. So much dust had flown everywhere.

"There you are Waspinator."
"Yes here I am at very long last."

"What happened to your voice?"

"This one's exo-structure was commandeered by Air Commander Starscream!"

Everyone looked at him in disbelief at first. Maybe he got hit on the head again. Samantha came running in. She jumped on Waspinator's back.

"Miss me?"

She rubbed her cheek against his.

"Oh now you show me affection."
"What are you talking about? I've always shown you affection."

"You never have. You were always with Megatron. Most of my problems begin with you."
Samantha just stared at him. She didn't understand at first. She got off his back and went over to Megatron.

"What's Waspinator talking about Megatron?"

Starscream shook his head.

"Still with him I see. You'll never change will you?"

Megatron held her from behind and lowered his mouth closer to her ear. Starscream watched her expression change. Once Megatron's head was away from hers, she hid behind him. He turned to look at her. Inferno sensed her fear and moved closer.

"You've got bodyguards now. Clever."

"What are you talking about Starscream? How did you even get here?"

Everyone got comfortable as Starscream spoke. He rarely took his eyes off Samantha. Megatron sat in his chair, eyeing Starscream. He was quite angry at the attention he was giving her.

"My spark was floating by and happened into this body."
"So, Air Commander, what do you want now?"
Starscream looked back over at Samantha. She hid behind Inferno. Both Inferno and Megatron gave him dirty looks. He looked back over to Megatron.

"Why to pledge my allegiance to the glorious Megatron."

"Yesss, well, you'll forgive the "glorious Megatron" for not melting into a puddle of gratitude. Tell me," He looked back over at Samantha who was still cowering behind Inferno. "…Why should I trust you?"
Starscream started to stutter.

"Well, I can help you defeat the Maximals and help you win the Beast Wars for good."

Megatron couldn't help himself. He had to smile. Samantha tugged on Inferno's arm. She wanted out of there. Inferno lowered the platform and escorted her out. Starscream followed. Megatron brought up some schematics for Starscream to look at. Samantha was already out of the room she clung to Inferno.

"What is the matter little royalty?"
"That man in there, did Waspinator really turn into Starscream or did he get hit?"

"I believe I can answer that question. May I have a moment alone with her?"

Inferno placed his arm around her waist. Starscream lifted his hands.

"I mean no harm. You may stand a few feet off. I just wish to speak with her."

Inferno looked at her. She nodded. Inferno took a few steps back, keeping his eyes on Starscream. Starscream moved closer. Samantha wanted to run but knew she wouldn't get far. Inferno wasn't that fast of a flyer. He placed his head near, placing his forehead against hers.

"I know you remember me. There's no way you could have forgotten. It hasn't been that long has it? I see you found your way back to a Megatron. You always do don't you?"
"What do you want?"

"The same thing I've always wanted. Power. You have it, I want it."

"I thought you were after Megatron's power."

"I was and still am. But your power will help me get his."

"I wont help you Starscream. I didn't help you back then and I wont help you now."

Samantha started back towards Inferno. Starscream just leaned against the wall, looking at his new hands.

"Alright then. I don't suppose you told Megatron everything about you?"

Samantha stopped. She turned to face him.

"I thought not. How many years has it been since you've been honest to your "leader"? Or is he a lover now? I saw you two get awfully close together. Would you like me to tell him for you? I'm sure he'll go easier on me then you."

Samantha walked back over to him. He still had a grin on his face. She cupped her hand under his chin and grabbed his throat. She started to lift him off the ground.

"Don't think that because you're in my friends body that I wont hurt you. I'm not afraid of you Starscream. You're my size now, and think, if I was to show my true colors, I'd be bigger then when you were in your original body. So don't fuck with me. Understand?!"

He shook his head. She released him, watching his body slide down the wall. As she made her way back to Inferno, he yelled out to her.

"One of these days Samantha, I'll get what I want from you. If bribing and blackmail doesn't work, then I'll take it by force!"

Samantha just turned and gave him the finger.

"Starscream, get in here."

Starscream stood up off the floor and entered.

"He's just as bossy as the old Megatron."
