Optimus snuggled up to Megatron, feeling the bond with not only the King, but the sparklings he carried. He couldn't really go back to Iacon. Not with the sparklings. He could now that he was bonded, but he didn't want to anymore. Not with his brother. Yet, it was because of his brother that he had to go back. Iacon needed him.
"What are you thinking about?" Megatron asked, looking down at the smaller Prince.
"Iacon. With my brother in control and my creators in deep stasis, I fear trouble will happen," said Optimus. "They will need me."
"Optimus, Iacon and all of Cybertron but very few close to me believe you are dead," said Megatron.
"What?!" Optimus gasped, sitting up a bit too fast and hissing at the sting of pain from his wound.
"Lockdown created a clone of you and brought it back to Iacon to seem as if you had died. I am guessing his assistant attacked you and he left to go find you, but couldn't. I sent him a message to inform him that you were well," said Megatron. "He is relieved. Lockdown had told me he was hired for 5 million shanix to kill you, but couldn't do it. He owes your sire for saving his life."
"But who would want me... Sentinel," Optimus realized in horror. "My brother wants me dead."
"And he believes you are," Megatron reassured. "You are safe my dear. We will figure something out on saving Iacon and the rest of Cybertron. I will be contacting the other cities and keeping close ties with them. Sentinel will most likely try to cut ties off with them or raise the prices."
Optimus nodded, feeling the dread in his spark. They would be fighting for their future. He would fight for the future of his sparklings.

Megatronus was happy with the progress he was making. Already he was three months ahead of schedule thanks to a spacebridge he found. He entered Cybertron's system and sped towards the planet in his sight, careful of the precious cargo he held. It took a while to collect the last few ingredients, but the former King was lucky to have found them so easily.
He activated a shield around him so that the entrance to Cybertron didn't damage his cargo. Immediately, he sped to Iacon, not once stopping as he pushed himself. Guards at the Iacon palace pulled their guns out and pointed them at Megatronus when he landed. The elder put his servos up.
"What is the meaning of this?" Megatronus demanded.
"Under the orders of Prince Sentinel Prime, all those not of Iacon are banned from here," one said.
"Put yer guns down," Kup demanded. "Unless you want our King and his consort to die."
"Kup," Megatronus sagged. "What in Primus' name is going on?"
"Sentinel has cut Iacon off from all of Cybertron. He's thrown many into prison that didn't like the new order," Kup informed. The two began walking towards the medibay. "Optimus is dead too. Lockdown brought him to us. A lot has happened."
"Magnus and Trion won't like that news," said Megatronus, both walking into the medic's domain.
"Thank you Megatronus for helping us," Ratchet said. The former King handed over the ingredients and Ratchet placed them in another room.
"I will do what I can to help out," said Megatronus.
"You will not be doing anything."
All three turned to see Sentinel and two heavy drones.
"Megatronus, you are not welcome here," Sentinel said.
"I do not have to listen to you," Megatronus said. "Magnus and his consort still live, thus your rules are useless."
Sentinel grew red in the face. He sent a command to the drones to take the former King to the dungeons and chain him. Megatronus fought, but couldn't escape. Kup and Ratchet stayed silent, both giving the elder mech a knowing look. They would free him.

Megatronus didn't know how long he was held captive. Not really. He knew it had to be a few days at least. He looked to his cell when he heard approaching pedesteps. Kup slipped in, working on the chains holding him down.
"Kup, what are you doing?" Megatronus whispered.
"Getting ya out of here. There's a secret passage just outside the brig. Push in the stone that is a shade or two lighter than the others. It will open up a passage that will take you to the forest. Bumblebee and Blitzwing will be there waiting," said Kup. The chains dropped and Megatronus rubbed his aching joints.
"Come with me," Megatronus said.
"I can't," said Kup. "I'll distract the drones."
"Kup…." The sound of the drones coming met their audios. Kup pushed his friend.
"Go."
Megatronus nodded and moved. He scanned the stones, looking for the right one. He found it with difficulty and pushed. Next to it, a passageway opened up. Megatronus looked back at his friend once last time before disappearing, the entrance closing behind him.
Kup shot at the drones. He got hit by bullets and batons. He spat out energon, form shaking. Sentinel came up as two drones grabbed a hold of Kup's arms and held him. The Prince flashed a knife in front of Kup's optics.
"My, my, such a naughty old mech," Sentinel said, caressing his face with mock gentleness. "Now my prisoner is gone."
"Good," Kup said. Sentinel backhanded the old mech hard. Kup glared at Sentinel and spat in his face.
Sentinel thrust his knife into Kup's chest, twisting slowly as he went deeper. Kup's strangled gasps echoed around the empty dungeon. A thin trail of energon leaked down the right corner of his mouth. Sentinel paused at the look Kup gave him, one of sorrow. Why? The Prince shook it off, gritting his denta together. Kup's optics blinked and flickered, body losing colors.
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry," Sentinel whispered, gently pulling the knife out and watching Kup fall to the floor, spark fading away. "Farewell Kup."
The Prince left.

"Velcome back," Blitzwing greeted the former King.
"It is good to be back," Megatronus said, glancing back to where he had come from.
"Your son vill be vaiting for uz," the mech said. "Come my little Bee."
Bumblebee nodded, grabbing onto Blitzwing. They headed back to Kaon, being greeted with cheers. The triple changer took Bumblebee to his room as Megatronus met up with his son in the throne room, seeing the young mech with him.
"Sire, I wasn't aware you had arrived," Megatron said.
"I had found a spacebridge before arriving in Iacon. Shortly after I did though, that Prince had arrested me. Kup just recently got me out but... I fear he may have been killed for helping me," Megatronus said sadly.
"With how Sentinel is, it wouldn't surprise me. Disgusting," said Megatron.
"And you must be Optimus. I was informed you had perished," Megatronus said, looking down at the smaller red and blue mech.
"A secret I wish to keep sire, for safety reasons of course," the King said, pulling Optimus closer to him and glaring at his sire.
"Of course. He is a pretty little mech still since he was sparked," said Megatronus.
"Optimus Prime is my mate as well as the carrier of my heirs," Megatron said.
The former king was surprised and Optimus blushed. They didn't get into details but Megatronus eventually excused himself to go rest. Optimus crawled into Megatron's lap, snuggling in close and falling into recharge. Megatron didn't want to move, not wanting to disturb his future sparkmate. He would still need to get the bonding ceremony done before his sparklings arrived. The King closed his optics, holding Optimus to him as he joined him in recharge in the throne room.
Lugnut and Strika had come in to report how the city was doing, but decided to wait. The large femme snapped a picture of the two sleeping together for the future. The two left, letting them have rest.
