Happy New Year.

If anyone's interested, I finally got a new chapter for 'Of Sparklings and Seekers' up.

Enjoy and please review.


The brig

After Demolisher and Cyclonus left him in the brig, Starscream resisted the urge to sit on his aft and curl up like a sparkling, after all, said aft was still sore... and the fact that his mouth still had the disgusting taste of soap didn't help either.

But what worried him most was that the kids had something new in them, they were changing and Megatron was claiming to be their sire.

"Megatron is their sire?" He voiced those words trying to believe it was true, but still, it was too much for his overheated processor.

"I really can't imagine them being his creations, even as-" His optics widened. "He's trying to transform them into cybertronians!"

There was his explanation of why the kids had metallic parts coming from their skin. "Megatron, what have you done?" He asked himself in horror at his leader's actions. Never in his life had he ever imagined that Megatron would do that to three innocent creatures...

But he just did. That would explain the 'dad' comment Rad said earlier.

His processor was spinning between his last punishment and public humiliation and the children's dilemma; he didn't know which was worse. Finally, and still hurt from the spanking and sore from the last beating, not to mention the taste of soap in his mouth, he curled on his side and fall in an uneasy and almost forced recharge.


The next morning...

"Please, Optimus." Alexis begged as her now brothers looked at the leader with pleading shiny eyes; which would soon transform into optics.

"I can't let you go, kids, it is too dangerous, Megatron will be hunting you and waiting for any second for you to leave the safety of the base; I can't take that risk."

"Please, it will just be a few minutes..." Carlos whined.

"It's out of the question, you can't leave and besides, your creators can't see you now the way you look."

They glanced down at their bodies, they looked even worse. Part of their body was still normal but a lot of it wasn't, they looked liked badly transformed robots. They could still eat and drink as normal but Red Alert had told them they'd soon need to start taking Energon supplements for their cybertronian systems. Although they'd been able to sleep safely, with soft covers to lie on, it hadn't been an easy night.

They were suffering from nausea as their bodies tried to come to terms to what was happening to them. Also, they were worried sick about poor Starscream, they couldn't believe what Megatron had done to him. Now all they wanted was to see their parents again, to be reassured that everything would be okay but Optimus was telling them it wasn't possible.

"They're our parents," Alexis begged. "We need to see them, to let them know we're alright."

"I know it's hard," Optimus said sorrowfully. "But what is happening to you is not something your parents can deal with by themselves. You kids have been through enough, if other humans get wind of this, there'll be trouble. We don't want you to end up in hospital and experimented on."

"Our parents wouldn't do that to us," Carlos protested hotly.

"I'm sorry," Optimus said gently and left them alone in their room.

"We have to do something, I want to see my mom," Alexis stated as tears formed in her eyes. "Optimus can't watch us all the time, just like Megatron."

Rad's eyes opened wider after those words were said. "Are you Okay, Alexis?"

"Yeah man, I mean, was really you who was the one that suggested that we escape Optimus?" Carlos questioned her. "Welcome to the normal people's world!" He smiled patting her back.

"It's not a joke, Carlos, and yes, Rad, I feel okay, I just want to see mom and dad; I miss them so much," Her voice breaking and the tears that formed in her eyes finally fell.

Rad and Carlos looked at each other; they also missed their parents badly; it was such a long time since they last saw them or hugged them. That was what they wanted, they loved their parents so much and what Megatron did to them was not just cruel but egoistical too.

They did understand that they were the 'only' thing that he had from his fallen mate, his only living memory of her, but if he wanted to gain their trust and even more, their love, he had to use other, very different techniques. Obviously kidnapping, punishing and forcing them to change their species was not on the top list of what he had to do if he wanted their full attention.

If he just looked at how Optimus, the Autobots and Starscream treated them, he might understand why the kids behaved differently with them. And see that they are not as impertinent and uneducated as he believed them to be; if they were like that, Optimus and company would have not worried in having them close or even worrying about them...

...or wouldn't even have called Megatron's attention in the first place.

"Well, he have to choose the perfect moment, it will be on night..." Rad stated.


Unknown to them, there was a dark, horned figure watching everything and taking note on what they said.

"So... the little pets prepare to leave the base, huh?" He chuckled darkly. "I think I know who would love to know that," He said as he sharpened his audios to hear their plan as he frowned and then smirked under his facemask.

"Perfect!" He thought.


Autobot's Medbay

Meanwhile, Optimus paced the med-bay unable to recharge, and he dragged Red Alert with him; the kids' situation was not just irreversible but worrying; their lives will never be the same after this.

"How could he do that to them, that's what I can't get, Red."

"You know why, he lost a piece of his spark when Silverblaze was deactivated and feels that he will recover it by recovering his... umm... by taking the kids to fill that hole," Red Alert pointed out with a sad tone.

"Yes, but he kidnapped them and now this?!" Optimus fumed. "The only thing he will fill will be their hate towards him and that is worst than never recovering them."

"Yes, but he's not thinking like that, he believes he can order them to love him, that love means obeying him in everything he demands."

"When your creation hates you or runs away from you there must be a good reason for it, don't you think? A reason to think you're doing something wrong. Why can't he use his processor to think on that?"

"He never had the opportunity of being a father before, he only knows war..."

"...And the kids are another war for him..." Optimus finished taking his face in his hands. "I wonder how Silverblaze could cope with him? I heard she was a strong femme and that many fought for her spark," He sighed.

"... and he won," Red said, a small smile forming on his face before disappearing. "Another battle won."

"Yes, but these kids are a different kind of battle, one that requires other weapons, a different strategy, something he never used before."

"You mean?" The medic questioned.

"Love and caring; he wants them to love him and care for him? He must do the same, think about their welfare, not his, but their own first... and there is something... something..." Optimus tried to find the right word as he waved his hand as if helping his processor to find it.

"As if he was not programmed to?"

"Something like that, but not quite; maybe, something he needs to learn... but is way too stubborn to do so."

A moment of silence passed before Red decided to break it with a question. "Can you really imagine them as his sparklings?"

Optimus's optics widened at the question and stayed mute not knowing what to answer.

"Honestly, I can't." Red answered for himself out loud before realizing he did it.

"I've never thought about that." Optimus frowned trying to imagine them as Megatron's creations; it was hard... "I can't either," The leader finished.

"But," Optimus added. "I do know he'd never have given up his Sparkling orbs unless he was sure they were his kids. Primus certainly moves in mysterious ways but there must be a reason his Sparklings were reincarnated as human children."

"Perhaps because for them to love him, Megatron has to change," Red Alert suggested. "if they had been reincarnated as normal Sparklings, Megatron would have exercised his right as their Sire and taken them away. As humans, it is much harder for him to do so, especially as they have creators. Maybe...this is a way for peace."

"Because Megatron must change," Optimus said with a slow nod. "The kids are our friends and I doubt they would ever turn against us. If Megatron really wants to be their Sire, he can't hurt their friends."

He considered this for a moment before shaking his head and sighing.

"I don't know if I can see that my friend, it would take a miracle for Megatron to change."


The Decepticons base

"Urgh..." Dozing around after his third cube of high grade, Megatron reached the control room. "Why is it that I don't have any efficient soldiers that can answer a call in this hour!"

When he finally was able to set the codes -with his dazed sight- a message popped out.

"Tonight, now, they are leaving to see their creators; if you want your pets back, this is the perfect moment to recover them. You still don't know where to find them? Here is your answer..." A set of coordinates were displayed at the end of the message and Megatron smirked.

"I've got you..." He managed before reaching for the warp gate, keyed the codes and stepped in. Primus was on his side now, he wanted him to recover his sparklings and he will.

The warp gate activated and he disappeared through it.

...and seconds later he was at the coordinates someone send him; he was way too drunk to even think about it, he just wanted his creations back.

Drinking the last sip from his cube of high grade, Megatron laughed. "Ha, even from Optimus they escaped, how... predictable; once I have them back, I'll show them how to obey... obedience... respect..." He started babbling. "Not even to their beloved Prime they give it!"

He burped loudly and continued. "But they will give it to me, oh they will!"

He stopped and hid once he heard three engines approaching.


Earlier

"Thank you," Alexis said gratefully as they carefully snuck out of the Autobot base, riding their Minicon partners. Their reunion had been a joyful one and very emotional, they were just so happy to be together. Apart from their parents, their Minicons were what they'd missed the most.

Once they'd all calmed down, they begged Highwire, Grindor and Sureshock to help them see their parents, if only for a little bit. Deep down, they knew they'd need to return to the Autobots, as transforming humans they couldn't remain with their parents. But they'd been separated for so long and since their parents had no idea what had really happened to them, they wanted to let them know.

It wouldn't be easy, they were going to freak out but just being in their arms again was too much to resist.

"We must be fast," Highwire said softly. "The Autobots will soon know we're gone and they won't approve."

"We will," Rad assured him as Carlos added. "Yeah dude, we'll be back before you know it."

As the three transformed Minicons sped down the mountain with their passengers, a certain figure watched with a smirk. His day had just gotten a whole lot better.


A short while later

"Man, it's so good to be outside again," Carlos sighed happily as they sped along, the wind full in their faces. They may have felt a little guilty but just feeling this...free made it all worth it.

"Once we get to town, we'll split, okay?" Rad asked the others who nodded full of anticipation for reaching their separate destinations.

"We'll meet up later, hopefully," Alexis added, knowing that leaving her mum and dad was going to be next to impossible but it would have to be done.

"You got it," Carlos said, arms wide open as he soaked up the rushing wind, trying to ignore the way his optics adjusted for it. Before leaving, the kids had discovered their eyes had changed into optics, still retaining their original colour but undeniably robotic.

They continued for a few more minutes before Highwire started to slow down, the others following.

"Highwire, what's wrong?" Rad asked in both confusion and alarm.

"There's something close by but I'm not sure...," Highwire began when a shot came out of nowhere and exploded between the Minicons.

With a scream, everyone was sent flying as they heard a horribly familiar laugh.

"Out for a little stroll, my dears?"

"Megatron," Alexis screamed in horror, clinging to Sureshock who transformed. "Oh no."

"Oh yes," he sneered a little drunkenly, swaying on the spot but still able to point a gun at them. "And before I forget..."

He shot a wide ray at them which seemed to instantly overenergize their circuits, making them yell and fall over. With another laugh, Megatron strode right to them, plucking the children off the ground one by one. As the Minicons swore and exclaimed furiously, he chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'm not separating you, I'm not passing up the chance to add three new Minicons to my collection."

And with that he scooped them up in his other hands, stumbling slightly as he laughed madly. A moment later, he had activated the Warp gate and in another moment, it was like they'd never been there.


Decepticon moon base

"This time, you will learn the meaning of the word 'respect' and as your sire, is my duty to teach you," Megatron growled menacingly holding the three of them tightly in his hand, and with the other he held the three kids' minicons; the six of them were struggling hard in vain as Megatron took them to the same location he took them before they were turned into minicons.

"We just wanted to see our parents! Come on man!"

"Where are you taking us?" Rad asked in fear as the three of them shuddered recognizing the place they were going.

"No! Let us go! NO!" The three kids struggled harder and that alarmed their mincons who also struggled, they seemed terrified and that was a bad sign.

"Shut up! This time...this time you will be completely mine, and will never leave me again!"

"What are you gonna do to us?"

"Whatever it is, it's not good."

"Oh, my dears, it will be very good for you, and me, especially once you get used to the idea of being my creations and full cybertronians," Megatron said silkily.

The kids' eyes widened in utter terror at the prospect and cried out loud for help.

"HELP! PLEASE, SOMEBODY, HELP US!"

"In vain, my dears, soon, soon you will be what you should always-" He watched them struggle for a while before depositing the three minicons in a cage and returned his attentions to them. "What you should always have been."

The three minicons watched in helpless horror as the warlord took their friends to a table and restrained them there unable to move.

"No, Megatron, please! NO! Don't do this to us!"

"Too late..." He said before he reached for a red button.


Brig

Starscream was trying to recharge when an echo of a scream was reached by his audios.

"What? Alexis?" In a dazed way he stared at the bars of his cell, they are in Earth, was he hallucinating?

Then the screams were louder this time: "SOMEBODY, HELP US!"

He recognised those voices too well. "Alexis? Kids? Megatron?" That was a bad combination. "What is going on?!" He started to desperate as he struggled on his bounds before reaching for the bars of his cell and screamed. "Somebody, please, help them! Help!"

"NO!"


Somewhere in the moonbase...

Cyclonus heard the screaming and went for the source and found...

...A very drunk Megaron with the three kids...

"That's good, he recovered them at least he will not be in a mood all day..." The helicopter thought.

...and said kids restrained to that table... Megatron's intentions were clear.

"Sir?" He tried.

Megatron turned with blazing red optics to stare at his subordinate in ire for the interruption; his gaze was so intense that it made poor Cyclonus flinch and tremble in his position.

"Cyclonus, help!" Carlos tried. "He's crazy, please!"

But Cyclonus was petrified in his position believing that any move will make his leader to kill him. Actually, if he was able, he would have released lubricants right there.

"OUT!" Megatron barked with so much power that made the other Mech jump, fall then jump again before running for his life. It was not his business to interfere with his master's business.

"Now," Returning his gaze to his trembling and crying creations, which didn't soften his spark a little, he reached for the console again to push that button.

"NO! STOP!" Another voice interrupted him this time, he recognized it just as he recognized the touch on his shoulder, but when he was about to turn and face the one who was there with him, everything turned white for the warlord.


Brig

"Somebody, help!" Starscream continued yelling for help, he didn't care who came, he just needed someone to save the kids from Megatron; they never screamed like that and whatever the leader was doing to them was not good.

"...please..." He almost whimpered when he heard steps coming closer.

"Starscream? What's going on? What is all this racket?" Oh thanks Primus it was Scavenger who was looking at the seeker with a concerned look.

"Please, save the kids, Megatron, I don't know how, but he has them, please, save them!"

Scavenger was about to say something like it was impossible for them to escape from Optimus when he heard it too.

"HELP!"

Scavenger's spark accelerated and he ran the passageways to their location hurrying before it was too late before Megatron hurt the kids beyond repair.

It took him awhile to reach their location and a terrified Cyclonus running in the opposite direction as if Unicron himself was after his aft; but when he reached the room he found Megatron lying on the floor, unconscious, and the three kids restrained on a medical table and crying their... Optics out?

"Kids?" He tried looking at them suspiciously; "What happened to you?" He noticed the silver marks from the calling the last time, but their organic eyes started transformating in something similar to optics.

Their emotions were too great for them to answer or do anything else but shake and cry, so, the old Mech released them and their Minicons and set them on his shoulder. "You're okay now, don't worry, no one is gonna hurt you."

After that, he took the very much heavy Megatron on his other shoulder and took him to his quarters in silence; the only sounds were made by the kids' sobs and whimpers.

Now... what was he going to do with three terrified... eh... sparklings? Scavenger asked himself after depositing Megatron's body in his quarters wondering how much high grade the Decepticon leader consumed so he would just offline like that.

It was odd, because he knew that Megatron had quite the resistance for said drinks. A series of sobs disturbed him from his train of thoughts as he stared down at his hand.

"What do you say I take you to see Starscream?" He asked the three and watched how the green optics of the little femme glowed at that; it made him smile. "Starscream, then," He said no other word as he headed to the brig to take them with said seeker; after all, he had more experience with... humans than he had.

Besides, he had to call Optimus and tell him the situation; he'll ask the kids later how they returned to Megatron's grasp.


Megatron's POV

When Megatron on-lined his optics it was something he was not expecting to see; everything was so beautiful, back on Cybertron, in the crystal gardens...

...His optics widened at the sight that greeted them, something he thought he would never see but wished to with all his might, with his entire spark.

"Megatron," A sweet feminine voice greeted him. "Shh..." She said as she placed her index finger on her pouty lips, then looked back down at the reason.

Three little baby-sparklings were asleep close to each other; it was the most adorable thing the warlord have ever seen in his life and his spark was filled with so much love and pride; he loves them all, loves his family, he loves her so much.

"Blaze..." He muttered reaching her lips and kissing her softly. "I love you..."

She smiled at him lovingly before taking his face in her petite hands to kiss him again, this time a far more deep and passionate kiss.

"Eww!"

Both adults pulled apart from each other watching three little -yet older- sparklings. When Megatron looked down, he saw that his newborn creations were not where they were supposed to be, but in their place were two mechlings and a femling looking at them with disgusted but playful faces.

"Yuck!" The femling said.

It was then when he noticed them; this ones were his creations, but older ones, somehow. He smirked at them, "Now you said 'eww' and 'yuck' but one day you will be doing the same, thrusting your glossas in-"

"Megatron!" Silverblaze screeched loudly interrupting him making him chuckle at that before he learned again to her and kissed her.

"Eww! I'm going to purge!" One of the mechlings said.

"I don't need to see Sire eating Mom," The other mechling said.

"Megatron! Not in front of our sparklings!" His mate said alarmed pushing him away; a deep flush covered her beautiful face.

"I will need to eat someone too?" This time it was the femling who asked it looking very interested in her creator's activities.

Megatron looked alarmed at that, not his femling!. "No, sweetspark," He said rather obfuscated at her question and Silverblaze was looking at him with a frown. "You won't need to eat anyone... and daddy will not let anyone eat you."

It was as if the heavens opened for her as her big green optics shined for him before she hugged him by the neck. "Love you, daddy."

He hugged her back against his spark before feeling her get cold; he gazed down to see her only to realize in horror that her whole body has turned a lifeless grey.

Desperation run by his spark as he looked for his other two mechlings, only to find them in the same situation as hers and when he quickly turned to see Silverblaze he felt how his spark agonized as she started breaking in pieces, just as his mechlings, just as the femling he so desperately tried to hold back against his frame.

"No, no, please no..." He vented in sorrow before the little faceplate of hers broke and in its place was left nothing but cold and dry sand.

"NOOO!" He yelled trying to get hold of the sand that the winds started to take away. "WHY?! WHY PRIMUS, WHY?!" He cried.

"Megatron!"

"Silverblaze!" He looked up to see only ruins and devastation and...

…a huge creepy dark horned monster that laughed at him; It's red optics penetrated his very core before it started devastating everything; he could only see his silhouette in all the darkness that surrounded him before said monster reached for him and took him into his massive hand before started choking his entire system, destroying his body; he tried to escape, but it was in vain, the creature was stronger than him.

"Megatron!" Silverblaze's voice called him once again before the monster lifted his other hand revealing an Optimus Prime in the same situation that he was in.

"Prime?" He managed to choke out before the life of the other was squeezed off of him, leaving the Autobot Leader to turn into a lifeless gray, his body going limp. It was going to happen, the same thing to him and soon.

"Megatron, NO!" Silverblaze's voice was the last thing he heard before the monster finished with him too.


Meanwhile...

"Optimus," Scavenger greeted as the frantic Autobot leader answered him.

"Scavenger, please tell me their alright," Optimus said rather desperately.

With a wince, Scavenger said.

"They are fine now, they're with Starscream but Megatron almost did the unthinkable with them... he was going to turn them into full transformers."

"What!?" Optimus exclaimed in shock. "But why?"

"He was rather drunk," Scavenger said with a heavy sigh. "In fact, so drunk that he collapsed before he could do anything with them. I took them and their Minicons to Starscream, I figured he could cheer them up."

"Starscream is a good choice," Optimus said with a smile before turning serious.

"Why...why did they leave when they were safe with us. I could have protected them."

"They were desperate to see their creators," Scavenger said quietly. "They've been separated so long and with all the changes happening to them...they couldn't bear to wait."

Optimus groaned, looking away. Scavenger now said.

"They're not the only ones who would have done something like that, I believe your Bumblebee would have. I've noticed how protective she is of her loved ones; did she not attempt to rush to the rescue of her brother Hot Rod?"

Optimus stared at Scavenger before sighing heavily and nodded.

"Indeed she did, she would have happily rushed in there with no backup just to rescue him. I was forced to speak sternly to her about such actions."

He remembered her tears of anger and frustration, yelling at him that he didn't understand anything. It had been the first fight they'd had and he'd been uncomfortably reminded of the age difference. It had been difficult to remember she wasn't just a solider under his command, she was one of his mates and he needed to treat her as such.

He shook his head; it hadn't been easy resolving that. His mind went back to the kids; to the moment he knew they were gone. He'd been looking for them, thinking they were just hiding in the base because they were upset and wanted to be alone. But then Sparkplug had come running up to him in a panic, saying that Highwire and his friends were gone and that they'd received a emergency transmission that had been cut off.

In that moment, he'd frozen, he'd felt like he might have a Spark attack as he realised that Megatron must have gotten his hands on the kids. And considering the state the angry Decepticon had been...Optimus had feared greatly for their safety, Megatron could have done anything in his anger.

And clearly, he'd tried to do just that.


Brig...

To say that Starscream was astonished was one thing, to say that he was surprised was another thing, to say that he was horrified... that was the correct way to describe his current feelings.

"So, let me see if I understood, Megatron IS really your sire, and now he wants you to be with him forever?!"

"You got the point, bro." Carlos said grimly watching his now metallic hand in worry.

"What are we gonna do? We will never be humans again, or see our parents... or recover our lives," Rad stated with a broken voice, something uncharacteristic of him.

"He's a monster!" Alexis pointed as tears ran by her now metallic cheek.

"Oh, kids..." Starscream tried to make them feel better by reaching them with the energy field his spark produced in a way to reassure them that everything will be ok; it seemed to calm them a little; their Minicon partners were doing the same, trying to calm their sparks.

"He's not a monster, he's just... stupid," Starscream said and was a little happy to see them smile, if only briefly. "He wants you to be with him all the time because he wants to fill the hole Silverblaze left in his spark with you, but since he knows nothing about sparklings or... anything about the matter actually, he acts like this."

"We're not soldiers by the way," Rad stated.

"I know that, and maybe he knows that too, but, he... he..." The seeker tried to find the right word, but it was proving hard.

"Needs a therapist?" Alexis pointed out making her brothers chuckle as well as Starscream.

"Maybe more than one," Starscream chuckled and was happy to see their moods be lifted a little after that.

"He's selfish and self centred and is difficult for him to see other people's needs; I'm not saying he's not a good leader, just that when is a matter of family... he finds himself in strange lands and uses the same techniques he uses on a battlefield... is because is everything he knows," The seeker finished; Primus, he could not believe he was defending Megatron.

"Still, he needs a therapist," Alexis said firmly.

"And go to an anger management psychiatrist too," Carlos added.

"Perhaps." The seeker caressed their heads and what remained of hair on them before they curled next to another and prepared to recharge. It was a long day for all of them.

"Starscream?" Alexis tried before falling asleep; he smiled at her. "Why you, Optimus and the others don't have any problems with us, but he does?"

Well, Starscream thanked Primus that it was not another question about their reproduction, but shaking his processor he decided to answer her. "It was always hard for him to make friends, just imagine how hard is for him to be a single creator, and the sire nonetheless; he must be scared as he's happy to see you and acts on instinct more than with processors."

"He's still a jerk," He heard Alexis said, Alexis, from all the others it had to be her. He could not help but chuckle at that.

Then the cell was in silence again as the kids and Minicons fell asleep. He decided to follow their example.


Megatron's quarters

"NO!" Desperately gasping for air and in a sudden rush of adrenaline, Megatron awoke gasping loudly and desperately sitting on his berth. "Ah!" The hangover made him remember the drinks of last night as it painfully panged at his cranium.

Taking his head in his hands he made an effort to online and recalibrate his optics properly. "Primus," He gasped, that nightmare was so real, felt so real, even the dream part felt so real.

His mate... his sparklings...

"Why the frag did I dreamt with Prime?!" Growling in annoyance he set his pedes on the floor; the Prime was not welcome in his dream land... unless he was dead... which is what happened in the end, but still... he could not help but feel disturbed about it.

Maybe it was because it was not him the one who killed him...no, that was not the reason of his disturbing either... it was something else...

"My sparklings!" He suddenly remembered before jumped out of the berth and then to leave his quarters looking what was his but even then stopped feeling as the disturbing thing were not them.

"But what, then? That monster?"

Shaking his head he focused on his main problem, his creations, where were they? they couldn't have escaped... could they?

"No, they were restrained;" a frown crossed his face. "How did I end up here in the first place?" Now noticing that he was still in his quarters.

When he finally left he went to search for his sparklings, but, where to start? It was not that they shared a bond yet.

His optics widened. "A bond..." then focused in their sparks, maybe he could feel them.

"Ah, Megatron," Scavenger interrupted his concentration. "I'm glad to see you're okay, what happened last night?"

"Where are my sparklings?!" He couldn't help but bark at the old Mech, desperation written all over his body even if he tried to hide it with his anger.

"They are ok and safe, I took them with Starscr-"

At the single -but incomplete- mention of the seeker's name, Megatron bolted out to the brig, hoping to find his punished soldier there; he was not allowed to see the kids anymore... or for a while, nor leave the brig.

"Oh no," Scavenger groaned as he rushed after the Decepticon leader; he just hoped he don't do anything stupid again.


Author's note: How does Megatron react when he reaches the brig? Will Starscream survive the encounter and what about the kids? Find out next time, until then.
