Next chapter is here, which means there are only 2 more chapters to go! I read over the last chapter and I felt it was rushed a bit, but I won't change anything because that's the best I can do. A lot is going to happen in this one with so many feels and battles. I also got this chapter done an hour before midnight and also before my birthday!

Hope you all enjoy and peace out!


Darklight didn't waste any more time to hurry back to her quarters where she knew Starscream was after she sent him a private message to meet her there. Falere was on her way but she wanted him to know first, which was why she rushed until she arrived.

"I got your message. Are you alright?" Starscream approached and right away noticed the way she was beaming at him, and couldn't suppress to smile back. "What's going on?"

She closed the distance and gave him a kiss which lingered before moving away with her arms wrapped around his neck. "I love you so much, never doubt that. Everything is going to be fine once this is all over, and we'll live a peaceful life on Cybertron, together as a family."

"Darklight, I love you too, but you're kind of confusing me right now. Has something happened?"

She held his servo in her own and placed it over her abdomen, holding it there and smiling more as he narrowed his optics at her. "I'm pregnant."

Starscream held her stare for what felt like hours to Darklight, but she waited for him to say do or say something about to just given news. Finally, he looked down where his servo still lay and back up at her, doing this a couple of times before he finally stared back at her with a growing smile.

"You sure?"

"I just came back from Ratchet, he gave me an ultrasound and I saw our little one. He said it's a strong and healthy spark. We're going to have another sparkling!"

Starscream chuckled in disbelief and embraced her tightly against his chest. "I can't believe it! We're having another little one, I-I don't even know what else to say!"

"You don't have to!" Both held each other with shared kisses until Falere had arrived.

"D-did I do something wrong?" She was confused as to why her parents looked so happy, but it was the very first thing that had come across her mind as to why her mother wanted her to come here, but after seeing them like that she wasn't too sure anymore.

"Sweet spark, we have some news." Both Darklight and Starscream knelt down to her level as she stepped closer and waited to hear what news they had. "You're going to be a big sister."

Falere immediately had a beaming smile and darted her optics at both her parents, praying that this wasn't some cruel joke. "Really?" Both nodded and she was right away in their arms letting out a joyful squeal.

"I'm going to be a sister! I-is it a mech or femme?"

"It's still too early to tell, but we'll find out once the time comes." Darklight explained. She too would love to find out and will when the times comes.

"Everything's going to be alright, I know it." Starscream told himself and out loud for everyone to hear.

Everything would to be fine, it just had to be.


Moondancer had told Soundwave everything that had happened that day, including Darklight being pregnant and confirming of Turbulence. Soundwave had changed so much since she first met him. Family was now his main priority and gave his full love and support to his sister.

Both lay together in the berth, closer then usual, as they shared their thoughts.

"Thank you for being there for you, she needs all the support she can get right now." She told him.

"She's should be happy being out of the base, and yet she's so down, only because Vortex isn't here." He felt like going back and dragging him back, but not before pounding a fist against is helm for allowing himself to remain when he could have easily come with them.

"He made his choice. Maybe he'll come around and realise his mistake, he might be regretting it now." She didn't know what to think of the Combaticon anymore. At first he was just like the others, loud, annoying, and not caring about anything else other than himself, and ever since Turbulence came into his life it was like it all changed in just a short time. The same thing did happen with the others here she guessed, so who knew what the con was really like.

"Perhaps he'll come around, but until then my sister will need us. My niece or nephew will have a life it deserves." It warmed her spark to hear him say that about the expecting sparkling.

"I'm glad to hear that."

Without thinking, she leaned up, retracting his mask and kissed him tenderly which he returned without doubt or confusion. The kiss lingered before it turned more passionate, their lips locking and glossa's swirling together as she carefully climbed up into his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Soundwave," she breathed between kisses, "I…I want to ask…you something." He waited for her to ask giving her the moment to do so. "What do you want, for this, us?" He held her stare for a moment before answering.

"I want us to be together." He answered honestly.

"So do I, which comes to something else I need to know. Do…do you want another sparkling?"

The question wasn't expected but he wasn't really shocked she asked him, for it had been something also on his own mind lately about their future and what to be expected.

"I do desire to have a big family. I'm happy with our little Aria, but another would be nice."

"Then let's have another."

To hear her say those words felt like something was lighting up whatever darkness lay in his spark, leaving only the hope and brightness to swell his desire to have another sparkling and putting behind everything he had done to be a decepticon. They were no more to him and he didn't care.

"Is that what you want?" He asked to make sure of it.

"It is, but only if it's what you want as well, I don't want you to feel pressured about any of this."

He held her closer and claimed her lips with his own once more and moving away an inch. "Before we continue I wish to ask you something."

"What's that?"

"Will…" He felt nervous but knew it was what he wanted. "Will you spark bond with me?"

Moondancer stared for a moment, emotionless and silent before she gave a slowly growing smile. "Y-yes…Yes I will."

They resumed kissing with her remaining plastered in his lap. Many feels washed over the both of them, their love and desires finally coming out and opening to what they had desired.

Soundwave touched her in places she had forgotten that were her most sensitive areas and he had remembered them after all these years. She moaned and it turned into a gasp as his lips attached to her neck cables, suckling them and nibbling at the wires tenderly as his roaming servos stroked along her aft and waist.

She trailed her servo between them and over his covered cord piece, giving it a few firm strokes before he retracted it, letting his hardened cable rise and giving her the advantage to jerk him off. His throaty moans sent shivers through her frame as she moved her servo over his heated cable with trans fluids slowly leaking from the tip.

Moondancer retracted her own panel and sat up against him to position herself over and carefully lowered over his arousal. As soon as the tip of him breached she let out a sharp intake and moaned as the rest of him was entered. She was then fully settled over him, holding onto him and moving her hips against his cable. His grip on her waist tightened and rolled her more firmly over him, right before he lifted her up slightly and brought her back down. Her helm rested against his shoulder as their movements continued, a bliss feeling flooding her value as his ridged cable repeatedly stroked her.

"Oh…Oh, Soundwave," she moaned against his neck and slowly started to increase the pace.

He held her against him and carefully brought them both down against the berth with her on top of her. His servos helped adjust her move comfortably and brought her legs around his waist before resuming his movements. Each thrust sent new jolts of pleasure through them, the familiar arouse they haven't felt in so long. She held onto him as his thrusts increased, their slapping groins hitting and grinning together, moans and pants filling the room, it's what both had wanted and craved for.

She kissed him again as her overload approached and squeezed her thighs tighter around his pumping waist. He knew it was coming and exposed his chest plating to reveal his glowing spark and she soon followed with her own pulsing spark. Within moments their sparks joined, and a strong pulse of electricity shot through the both of them, cries and moans echoing around them while they rode out their overload. Soundwave spilled in her depths and held her close while they tried cool down through their vents.

"Oh primus…I forgot just how good you were." She laughed softly and then released she had just spark boned with him. "I love you, and I'm not just saying that I really mean it. I really do."

"And I love you, for so long now. I never want to lose you."

Both fell into recharge and held each other close, as mates for the first time.


Optimus chose to keep a low profile for a few days until he would contact Megatron and get this settled. With honesty, he was nervous. This was going to be an end to a war that had been going on for far too long now, and it was about to be settled for good. He didn't doubt the autobots and with the help from Starscream and those who no longer wanted any part of the decepticons he had hope that this would be it for Megatron.

The femmes and sparkling's were still a bit shaken, even after the days passed, some couldn't even recharge fearing they would wake in that base again. He didn't blame them for their fear and promised protection would be there for them for as long as they wanted. It was good news to hear of the expecting femmes and congratulated both Darklight and Turbulence. Everyone knew who the sire was for Turbulence and no one mentioned it again. Raised optics was given but no one dared to say anything. She had the support from so many and would have it for her and her sparkling.

It finally came when he got in contact with Megatron through teletraan-one, and was answered by Megatron who hadn't looked like heh ad gotten any recharge for a while.

"Are the traitors settling in nicely, Prime? Well, tell them not to get too comfortable, for I plan to rip each one of them apart piece by piece."

"Megatron, it's over. You've lost half your troops who have been very helpful to the autobots. Surrender yourself now, and make this easier for everyone." Megatron let out a humorous laugh.

"You must think I'm defeated when I'm really not. This will end, Prime, face to face. Make sure everyone is there, espeshally Starscream."

"I gave you the option and now you've left me with no choice. We'll end this at sunrise, the meet up area will be sent to you. It's time to finish what is long due."

"I agree." Megatron ended the com-link and Optimus stood back from teletraan-one.

No recharge came to him that night, knowing everything was going to change by the end of the day tomorrow.


It had finally come, the day everyone had been fidgeting about. Optimus gave the order to have both Starscream and Soundwave at his side as they waited for the arrival of Megatron. He had Thundercracker, including the dinobots to stay at the base just in case Megatron was going to send some of his troops to get the femmes and sparkling's. That was something he didn't want to happening, and so tried all he could to make sure they were safe.

The area where they were to meet was at a meteorite crater, fitting for what was about to unfold that very morning. He now stood in the very centre of the crater, along with Starscream and Soundwave at his side, his autobots right behind following the rest of the cons who left with Starscream.

After an hour of waiting, Optimus finally spotted Megatron coming over the edge of the crater with his remaining troops. What was troubling though was the DJD were nowhere to be seen, but tried not the think of the worst. Also the Combaticon's weren't to be seen either much to his surprise. He was already short of his army but again he tried not to dwell on this. If something was wrong back at base Thundercracker or the dinobots will let him know.

Megatron looked much worse than when he had spoken to him over the com-link, old and tired was what he could notice right away from his face and the way he swayed towards him. Perhaps they had a good chance.

"Prime, I highly suggest you back out of this now, and perhaps I'll be merciful with your death. I'll have what is rightfully mine, those femmes and sparkling's are decepticon property and I don't like it when things are taken from me. Surrender yourself and save us all this nonsense." He spoke highly of himself and sounded very positive with his words, Optimus wasn't sure if Megatron had finally lost his mind.

"The only surrender today will be coming from you, Megatron, and your troops. You're outnumbered and weak, save this nonsense and surrender yourself, and perhaps I'll be merciful."

"Megatron," Starscream spoke up next. "This has gone too far! The decepticons are no more, you need to accept that."

"The only thing I'll accept, Starscream, is your helm! This ends now, and I won't be giving up so easily for you." Megatron powered up his canon aimed it up at them, mostly directed at Starscream, one he wanted offline more than anyone else. Optimus lightly nodded knowing what was to happen.

"One shall stand, one shall fall.

You got the touch,
You got the power!

Chaos erupted in the crater between autobot's and decepticon's, shots being fired in every direction and running towards one another dodging the others motives, before getting themselves close enough for full contact with the other.

Much to Optimus surprise, Megatron was going for Starscream, then again he had taken half his army, including getting the femmes and sparkling's away from him, which would've obviously angered him beyond, but that didn't mean he had to fight him alone and so joined Starscream to fight against Megatron.

Soundwave was already occupied by the conheads and insecticons. They've must've joined Megatron for whatever reason he didn't care of. Laserbeak helped her master out by shooting laers at the conheads and directing them. Ravage had latched her jaws onto Shrapnel's bug leg and held on until it tore off the annoying bug con, making the insecticon howl in rage and leak large amounts of energon. Rumble and Frenzy got occupied by the stunticons who had formed into Menasor, and shook earthquakes forcing Menasor to clumsily fall backwards.

Everyone had an opponent, and none rested until one was down.

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner.
You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool.
You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough
You got the touch,
You got the power!

As expected Megatron had sent the Combaticon's to the autobots base to retrieve the femmes and sparkling's. Thundercracker wasn't surprised from they showed up on the door step, and he promised he wasn't going to let them in another step.

"Well, if it isn't the traitor." Onslaught was amused by the seeker standing by himself. "You must be a fool to think you can stop us. You made your choice and now you're going to pay the price." Onslaught giddily approached Thundercracker followed by the rest of the Combaticon's, including Vortex who looked very unsure about everything. "You're all alone…"

Thundercracker let out a smirk and the Dinobots came into view behind him. "I'm not alone. You shouldn't have come."

The dinobots all sent snarls and growls towards the combaticon's, forcing them to back up but Onslaught shot fires at them before it all erupted at the entrance of the base. Thundercracker made sure no one got past him and let the dinobots have their fun. He noticed Vortex who was the only one who hadn't made shots and was the only one furthest out of the base. If he was having second thoughts, he needed to make his mind up right that moment.

Blast Off saw his hesitation and growled lowly at him. "Vortex! What are you waiting for, shoot!"

Vortex met his optics and at each of his team members who had now stopped what they were doing while the dinobots backed off a little.

"I…I can't…." He didn't know what was wrong with him. After all these years and it was not until now that he couldn't bring himself to fight anymore. He regrated letting Turbulence being taken like that and forcing himself to not follow. This feeling was new, almost alien, but he desired what he felt and he needed to have the femmes he had come to care so much about.

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm
You got the heart,
You got the motion.
You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch.
You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

"What do you mean you can't?! You'll do as I command!" Onslaught stormed up and shook his shoulder. "What's with you?" Thundercracker then tried to talking.

"Vortex, it's not too late. You still have a choice and please think real hard on what you want most."

"Don't give him that sappy speech, he doesn't care." Blast Off darted his optics at back the seeker and Vortex as he tried figuring out if he really was considering what the seeker had said.

"I'm sure he can make his own choices other than having you lot making them for him. A lot has changed and right now Megatron is being beaten and will be brought to justice, along with anyone who remains loyal to him." The Combaticon's were amused by what he had just said.

"Are you hearing yourself, you sound just like a fragging autobot!" Onslaught chuckled darkly at him and went to advance towards the seeker but the dinobots sent a warning growl, and he stepped back from the beasts.

"Times change, Vortex, it's your choice what you want to do." Thundercracker held some hope that the combaticon would do the right thing, and then tried something else to convince him. "She needs you."

That seemed to do it, because the second he had mentioned her Vortex's optics brighten with hope, something clicked in his processor and it was then he made his choice, one that could change everything and including himself. The others though didn't seem to notice this from him and brought their attention to the seeker once more.

"That whore means nothing to him! I won't stand here like a coward anymore, we'll destroy the lot of you with Bruticus!" As they got ready to combine they head a weapon power up behind them and turned to see Vortex aiming his weapon at them.

"Not without me." He carefully made his way around them, watching their shocked expressions and tried not to think too much on it. As he got close to the dinobots they snarled at him but Thundercracker eased them as he came to the seekers side.

"You made the right choice." Thundercracker reminded him.

"Grimlock protect femmes and sparklings! Dinobots defeat bad bots!"

Onslaught was dumbfounded at what Vortex had just done. He just left them, all because of that femme? This had to be some sort of joke or some plan he was doing, but the longer he waited the more he became convinced that this was really happening and Vortex had just abandoned his status. Astrotrain showed up behind them and they were defiantly outnumbered. Onslaught didn't know what to do anymore.

"It's over, stand down and surrender."

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground
And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all
You got the touch,
You got the power!

Deep within the autobot base in the most secured room possible, the femmes and sparkling's were waiting for the outcome of what was happening right now. Deltastorm's creators still held their son, and Vectra was also with them since he was still recovering. He argued but by both Hook and Ratchet it wasn't going to happen, and he didn't argue further about it. If the worst was the happen he'll protect everyone else in the room, that he promised.

"Is it over yet?" Falere gently asked as she sat in her mother's lap. Darklight continued to stoke her daughter's back in soothing motions and smiled softly down at her.

"It will be soon, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Back at the crater, at a distance there were the DJD, watching on as the battle raged on. Megatron had ordered him to join the battle at Optimus Primes weakest moment but it never came. To his mind if anyone was week it was Megatron himself, and so he stood where he remained and watched.

Kaon stood next to his leader as he too watched on, along with each of the others. "Megatron is showing much weakness towards the autobots, even at Starscream, it's a shame really." Helex agreed.

"If this is the end to the decepticon cause, I would rather not to be caught in the middle of it, the choice if yours, Tarn."

Tarn stared on in deep thought. They would go back to Cybertron and probably travel off planet where they could go into hiding but still carry one what they did best by bringing justice to those traitors, or just for fun, it didn't matter anymore. He may have lost his pet but he'll always have the memory of her, and who knows they might cross paths again. But until then, he had to let her go. Another pet might be the answer to it.

"This isn't over." And with those words he abandoned Megatron's order and left with his team, and to never be seen again.

When all hell's breaking loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm
You got the heart
You got the motion
You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch
You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch
You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

"NOOOOOO!" Megatron's raged roar stopped everyone from fighting each other and stare on as Megatron collapsed to his shaking knees and slammed his servo into the dirt ground.

Optimus and Starscream both vented heavily from the attack but were glad to see that Megatron had finally fell before them with nothing left. His remaining troops all stood in silent not knowing what to do that very moment. Fight on or give up?

"Megatron, you've lost. Stand down." Optimus tried once more to the warlord.

Megatron was aged and there was nothing left in the old fool.

"I won't…give…up!" He tried powering up his cannon but it showed no life from his ability and it slammed back onto the ground with his arm.

"The war is over, Megatron, there is nothing else to fight for." Optimus went on,

Around them, each of the decepticon's started to slowly lower their weapons and disarm themselves before raising their servo's helplessly. They had given up after much hesitation, and each autobot made sure they had surrendered themselves for good. All that remained was Megatron.

"Megatron, you'll be brought back to Cybertron and put on trial for your crimes, along with each of you remaining troops. There is nothing else for you to fight for, you've been defeated."

In the end, each autobot cheered in victory. The war was over and the autobots had won, after so long. It had finally happened and it was like a weight being lifted of Optimus' shoulder.

In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith, days when our allies turn against us…but the day will never come that we forsake this planet and its people.

You got the touch,
You got the power!
You got the touch,
You got the power!


Megatron has been defeated! Well, not killed, but caught and brought to justice, including his remaining loyal troops. I know I'm not the best at battles but hopefully it wasn't too bad. I couldn't have this chapter done without the song that only every transformer fan knows about. I remember when my sister told me she was pregnant after trying to have one for about 5 years and I was filled with so many emotions and cried in disbelief, it was a feeling like nothing I've ever felt before. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
