"I DON'T CARE! Doomsayer wants a Second Great War and I promised Orion Eclipse, my son, that I would help you Autobots put a stop to his war criminal and terrorist activities before he destroys both Earth and Cybertron!" Megatron yelled at Bulkhead and Arcee.
"We get it, Megatron! But we've encountered Doomsayer and his New 'Cons before in the Badlands and hoo boy were they different from the original Decepticons." Bulkhead said.
"No time for excuses!" Agent Fowler said. "We need to help those people fight off against the New Decepticons."
"But what about the human authorities? The military? The human armed forces?" Arcee asked.
"We have no choice now." Agent Fowler replied. "No choice?! Well, what do you think we should do to try and help these people in Idaho?! For God's sake, Orion's friend is in danger! Your former employee is in danger, Fowler!" June Darby exclaimed.
Megatron paused before he suggested an idea. "Contact Ultra Magnus and the Autobots. Send them over to where the New Decepticons attack the humans without being disguised in their vehicle modes. I'll help them out if they need me." he said.
"Megatron are you sure about that?" Arcee asked. Megatron looked to the fembot. "Forgive me for what I'm about to say, but Optimus Prime would've helped save the humans if their civilization was under attacked by me and my Decepticons," he said as he gave an example.
Arcee sighed before she decided, "Alright, Megatron. We're calling our leader, Ultra Magnus and we'll call for backup." she said. "Are you sure it's such a good idea? Because it's bad enough that Doomsayer, Starscream, and their New Decepticon Army are having the humans blame us for their crimes against humanity and Cybertron!" Bulkhead said. "What if the humans aim their weapons against us since they think that all Cybertronians are bad?!" he exclaimed.
"We'll find a way," Arcee said. "Arcee is right, guys. In fact...Humanity needs more heroes and our planet needs more hope than it already has right now." June replied.
Back in the Devastator, Starscream was spending time with his romantic partner, Skywarp when they came across the New Decepticons' medical officer and scientist, Astrocharge who was working on a new serum after extracting the DNA of the human specimens that Doomsayer's deadly New Decepticons as well as The Inner Circle had captured from the city of Idaho less than 10 hours ago. Starscream kept the Dark Star Saber behind his back as Doomsayer told the Air Commander Seeker that he should keep it so that he can use it to kill Megatron whom many Decepticons declared a coward and a traitor to his people. Astrocharge was pouring chemicals from one glass jar beaker to the next using human DNA from the human specimen that Doomsayer and his crew recently gotten to frame the Autobots and make them the ones responsible for having some of the humans captured and killed by the New Decepticons and they were becoming more successful as the US President Gabriel J. Henderson, as well as the newly rebooted M.E.C.H led by Adam Bowen, has declared all Cybertronians alien invaders that must be destroyed to keep the Earth safe.
"Astrocharge? What are you doing?" Skywarp asked curiously. "I'm making a new chemical formula out of the recent human specimen," Astrocharge said. "What for?" Starscream asked. "To see if we can transform our Autobot enemies into human beings so that it'll be much easier for us to kill them all." The mad scientist replied. "What an excellent idea. Except for one tiny thing." Starscream said. "Oh, really? What's that?" Astrocharge asked.
"This new chemical may not work unless we have a test subject...and I'm thinking we should find someone who will be our test subject," Starscream said. "Good idea, Starscream." Skywarp agreed.
Meanwhile, back on Cybertron in Autobot City, Orion Eclipse was spending time with his childhood sweetheart and girlfriend, Altair Comet and they were reminiscing on the days when they were kids. Orion was starting to remember his childhood now as he remembered the number of times he would get into trouble with his father when he was still a Decepticon before he got separated from his family during the Great War.
"Remember back when we were sparklings?" Altair asked. "Yes, Altair. I remember back in the day when we were on our playdate when...when I put us in a dangerous situation...because I wanted to go out on an adventure with you to test my bravery...but I was young, naïve and foolish when you and I...we were chased by..." Orion was struggling to remember before Altair helped him. "We were chased by Autobot rogues in an alley while our fathers were talking before they immediately came to rescue us before we would get hurt or kidnapped. I was scared, but you stood up for me as you told me to stay behind you. You showed no fear, but the rogues laughed at you for being brave, and just as they were about to harm or kidnap us, Megatron showed up and my father came in time to save us. Your father and my father warned the Autobot rogues to stay away from us and after that...your father had an argument with my father and they decided that we shouldn't have another playdate and my sire took me home and we whispered goodbye to each other as your father took you home." she said.
"I remember...I remember that night when my father took me home, my mom checked on me to see if I'm alright and then my father took me with him to teach me a lesson. I remembered how scared I was back in the day when I was a sparkling." Orion Eclipse said as he remembered.
~Flashback~
Young Orion Eclipse anxiously walked right next to his father. Megatron looked at his son in disappointment before he spoke to Orion, "Orion, I am very disappointed in you." he said.
"I know." Orion Eclipse said. "You could've been killed! You deliberately disobeyed me and what's worse, you put Altair in danger!" Megatron lectured. Orion began to tear up as he told his father, "I was just trying to be brave like you."
"I'm only brave when I have to be." Megatron said before he sighed and then proceeded to tell his son, "Orion. Being brave...doesn't mean you go looking for trouble." Orion Eclipse replied, "But you're not scared of anything." he said. "I was today," Megatron said. "You were?" Orion asked. "Yes. I thought I'd might lose you." Megatron told his son.
"Oh...Well, I guess even Lords get scared, huh?" Orion guessed. Megatron nodded, "Mmm-hmm." Orion gave his father a mischievous smile, "But you know what?...I bet those Autobot rogues were even scarder." he said.
"Hahahah. 'Cause nobody messes with your dad. Come here you!" Megatron grabs his son and gives him a noogy on the head before he and his son ran and play together. Orion jumps onto his father and they lay down on the metal floor before they began to stargaze until they sat up as Orion Eclipse asked his father the important question.
"Dad? Do you think that I'll do great things when I'm older?" the young sparkling asked.
"Yes. I believe that you will grow up to be a great leader, Orion." Megatron said to his son.
"Really?" Orion Eclipse asked. "I believe in you, my boy. My precious little boy." Megatron replied in fatherly love and affection.
Orion Eclipse giggled as he cuddled with his father and he and Megatron laughed happily on the metal floor before they began stargazing again as Megatron was ready to tell Orion something.
"Look at the stars, Orion. See that there are many constellations in the galaxy and the universe beyond. Each constellation has a name and you were named after the constellation called and named, Orion." Megatron told his son.
"I was named after a constellation?" Orion Eclipse asked curiously.
"Yes. But I also named you after a very close friend of mine. His name was Orion Pax. He and I were inseparable. Orion Pax was a data clerk, a young pupil of mine, and he was my brother-in-arms, meaning we fought alongside each other against our enemies...until something bad had happened that dreadfully tore our friendship apart." Megatron said sadly while at the same time he made a dark and hateful expression, but he kept it hidden from his son knowing that it'll only scare and confuse him.
"W-What happened daddy? Whatever happened to Orion Pax? The bot you named me after?" Orion Eclipse asked his father.
"He...He sided with the Autobots. Turned against me. Decided to become a Prime instead of me. Became my enemy. Then he..." Megatron paused before he could even answer before he made a deep sigh. "Orion Pax was no longer the friend I once knew. I loved him like a brother and he betrayed me. Made me look like a fool in front of the High Council in Iacon when we struggled hard to create change to make Cybertron a better place. What happened between me and Orion is that he...he's dead to me. It broke my spark when something bad happened between us and...he's dead now and I still miss him to this day. So, to honor him, I decided to name you after my former friend." Megatron said in a sad tone.
"Dad?...I'm sorry about your friend." Orion Eclipse said sympathetically.
"I only wished he never sided against me and became an Autobot. That way, he would've made a great uncle to you." Megatron said.
~Flashback ends~
Orion Eclipse was on the balcony in Autobot City with Altair Comet and he was feeling nostalgic as he remembered his childhood but at the same time, he was feeling angry that his father lied to him about Orion Pax. He didn't die. All he can guess is that Megatron lied to protect him from the truth, that Orion Pax became Optimus Prime and was no longer the friend and is or was still dead to Megatron even to this very day.
"I still can't believe my dad would lie to me about Orion Pax and that he's dead to my father because he betrayed him and became Optimus Prime when really my father betrayed himself." Orion Eclipse said with an angry expression on his faceplate.
"Maybe your father only told you half the truth to keep you safe from the actual truth about my father and what happened between him and your father when he became a Prime." Altair Comet said.
Orion Eclipse sighed. "Perhaps you're right, Altair. My dad and I may not get along that well but in the end...we're still family no matter what," he said.
"Orion?" Altair Comet asked. "Yes, Altair?" Orion Eclipse asked. "I-Is it alright if we...?" Altair was about to ask her boyfriend when Ultra Magnus suddenly commlink Orion. "Orion! This is Ultra Magnus speaking, do you copy?" the Autobot leader said.
"Uhh, copy Ultra Magnus, sir! What's the sitch?" Orion asked.
"Doomsayer and his New Decepticons are attacking the humans in Boise, Idaho and we require you and your father's assistance immediately!" Ultra Magnus replied.
"Wait, WHAT?!" Orion Eclipse said in actual shock.
"Grab your shield and get ready to meet us soon in battle, soldier!" Ultra Magnus ordered.
"Copy that!" Orion Eclipse answered. "Orion, what's going on?" Altair Comet asked. "Anthony's in danger! I need to go." Orion Eclipse told his sweet lover. "When will you'll be back safe and unharmed?" Altair asked, concern in her voice. "I'll be back within a megacycle once I help my friends and family beat the New Decepticons before they kill off the humans," Orion told his girlfriend. "Okay. Please be careful. I don't wanna lose you again." Altair told her boyfriend before she kissed Orion Eclipse on the cheek and Orion blushed for a moment before he immediately went to grab his Cybernetic Energy Shield and he went to find Ratchet to space bridge him over to Earth to save Boise, Idaho.
Meanwhile, back on Earth in Boise, Idaho, Megatron was at the docks to go into hiding while Arcee and Bulkhead went to help save the humans from the New Decepticons and soon, the Autobots and their leader, Ultra Magnus, came just in the nick of time to fight off Doomsayer's troops and Megatron's spark told him that he should go out and fight alongside his son and the Autobots, not because he wanted to help, but because he doesn't want to lose his son again. The people were running and screaming in the streets as the New Decepticons set the buildings on fire and the attack on the city was like that of the Avengers movie in 2012.
"Autobots! Protect the humans!" Ultra Magnus ordered his Autobot warriors and soldiers.
"You got it, boss bot!" Wheeljack said as he whipped out his katanas and he joined up with Bulkhead to fight off the New Decepticons. "Let's make scrap out of em'!" Bulkhead said. "You got it, Bulk!" Wheeljack agreed.
Orion Eclipse came out of the space bridge portal along with Hot Rod, Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Chromia, Ironhide, Jetfire, Strongarm, and Prowl. "Come on, let's move, move, move it!" Prowl ordered. "Wait for me!" Orion yelled.
"By the Allspark!" Smokescreen exclaimed as he sees the damage that the New Cons are bringing towards the human city with innocent and non-innocent civilians retreating while the enemy is attacking their home, killing, and capturing each human.
"We gotta save these humans!" Bumblebee said.
"Anthony..." Orion Eclipse thought before he told his adopted brother and friend, "Bee, Smokescreen! I gotta save my friend and his family before they get hurt. I'll help you fight off these New 'Con invaders once we..." His dialogue was interrupted when an evil jet flew by them.
The jet was black, gray, and purple and it transformed into its full robot form. Orion Eclipse immediately recognized the evil New Decepticon as the same fiend who insulted the sacrifice and death of Optimus Prime in the Devastator.
"DOOMSAYER!" Orion Eclipse yelled angrily at his arch-enemy.
"Ahh, Orion Eclipse. So good to see you again. I've been waiting so long for our little rematch." Doomsayer mockingly greeted the young Autobot and former Decepticon with a dark grin on his face. "We won't let you and your New 'Cons harm these humans!" Orion yelled.
"Oh, but we already have! You see, during you and your Autobot friends' little...break from what's supposed to be our Second Great War, my army and I have been capturing and making specimens out of humans." Doomsayer darkly chuckled.
Orion gasped in shock, "You WHAT?!" he shouted. "That's right, me and my followers have been kidnapping more humans for their species to pin the blame on you Autobot fools for what my armada and I have been doing in the name of our Lord and master, Unicron." Doomsayer said with a cruel smile.
"YOU BASTARD! Those were humans! They don't deserve to die or to be slain by YOUR hand!" Smokescreen yelled angrily. "And that's not all, my young friends." Doomsayer said, his red optics locked onto Orion Eclipse and his friend and adopted brother. "My New Decepticons and I have made an alliance with the Insecticon Hive and their Queen, Airachnid, as well as Predaking and his Predacons, whom I forced the Decepticon scientist, Shockwave, into creating MORE Predacons for my legion of those who are willing to serve me and to help revive the Chaos Bringer himself. Now hand Unicron and his Anti-Spark over and I will stop trying to spark The Second Great War and the horrors that it'll bring to Cybertron and humanity!" Doomsayer demanded as he stretched out his hand for our heroes to give him what he wants.
"We're NOT giving you the Reliquary of the Allspark with Unicron trapped inside of it, you sparkless heathen!" Bumblebee answered in an angry voice and expression. "I've heard you got your voice box back, Bumblebee. But I will not ask you fools once again. Where. IS. UNICRON!?" Doomsayer said as his voice turned demonic and angry with his eyes changing from the color red to purple and his body in a field of purple Dark Energon electricity again. Orion Eclipse used his Cybernetic Energy Shield to protect himself and his friends to deflect the dark energy aimed at them.
"You REALLY want to know where your 'god' is, Doomsayer?!" Orion Eclipse asked. "Well, guess what though!? We don't know where he is!" he told the crazed New Decepticon leader.
"SILENCE! YOU WILL GIVE ME EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT OR I WILL DESTROY━!" Doomsayer was interrupted by when Wheeljack threw another one of his grenades at him. "GAAAGHH!" The evil mech shouted in pain as the explosion threw him across the street, hitting cars in the process, and giving scratch marks to his armor. Doomsayer hissed in pain before his healing factor took wing as his body repaired itself altogether with the Dark Energon flowing through his veins. Doomsayer got up, now more pissed than ever, as he then looked to Orion Eclipse who looked like he was ready to fight him once again.
"So be it then! I guess we'll just have to do this the hard way!" Doomsayer said.
Orion Eclipse makes a solid pose as he is ready to fight his enemy before Doomsayer lunges at Orion and he pushes him back with his shield. Orion tells Bumblebee and Smokescreen to help the Autobots protect the humans from the New Decepticons while he fights their leader.
"Bee! Smoke! Help the Autobots save the humans from the New Decepticons! Get them to safety! They need our help!" Orion told his adopted brother and friend.
"You got it, Orion." Smokescreen nodded in agreement before he and Bumblebee left Orion Eclipse for him to face Doomsayer once again.
"You're going down, Doomsayer!" Orion Eclipse promised. "You're the one that's going down!" Doomsayer replied. A battle between the hero and the villain ensues.
Orion Eclipse had fought Doomsayer for half an hour until Starscream appeared with the Dark Star Saber and he intended to give it to his master to easily defeat Megatron's son.
"Given up yet, boy?!" Doomsayer asked. Orion Eclipse huffed as he continued to use his fusion cannon and Cybernetic Energy Shield for combat. "No...I'm just getting warmed up." Orion said.
"Oh, really?" Doomsayer asked mockingly before he looked at Starscream who shouted, "Master! I brought you the Dark Star Saber!" he was about to throw it at Doomsayer when Orion aimed his fusion cannon at the Air Commander and she shot Starscream in one of his shoulder pads, causing him to yell in pain and drop the Dark Star Saber. "GAAAAGH!" Starscream shouted in pain before he growled angrily and glared hatefully at Megatron's son.
"Why you little...!" Starscream was about to cuss at Orion, but Eclipse shoots at him again before Doomsayer stretched his hand out and his the Dark Energon within him to have the Dark Star Saber come to him like Mjölnir with Thor. The evil sword telekinetically came to Doomsayer's grip and Doomsayer held up Megatron's creation triumphantly much to Orion Eclipse's shock.
"BEHOLD! The Dark Star Saber...In the palm of my hand!" Doomsayer said as he raised his voice and laughed maniacally in his demonic voice.
"I've got to save my son!" Megatron said to himself as he saw Orion Eclipse right in front of Starscream who was injured by the burns from his fusion cannon and in front of that evil warlord and cult leader, Doomsayer who looked like was about ready to use the Dark Star Saber to turn Orion and his Autobot companions into spare parts.
He rushed out of his hiding place on the docks when he suddenly ran into one of the members of The Inner Circle of the New Decepticons.
"Crossfire!?" Megatron exclaimed as he recognized the orange two-wheeler fembot.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't our former master?" Crossfire said. "Get out of my way! My son is in danger! I won't lose him again!" Megatron shouted.
"You'll have to go through us first!" Motorstrike said as he ran over Megatron in his motorcycle mode at high speed, causing the ex-Decepticon and ex-warlord to fall onto his back and grunt in pain. Megatron was now lying on the ground and he tried to get up and rush over to protect and save his son, but Motorstrike hit him again in his vehicle mode while boasting, "They don't call me Motorstrike for nothing! I'll kick your tailpipe in fast forward!"
"That's enough!" Astrocharge yelled as he ordered Crossfire and Motorstrike to cease their attack on Megatron. The blue New Decepticon mad scientist and medical officer threw a jar containing the untested serum that he's been working on at Megatron and once it broke and unleashed its chemicals onto Megatron, he suddenly began to feel sick and lose consciousness as if he were hit by the Cybonic Plague like Optimus Prime was years ago.
"GRRGHH!" Megatron grunted in pain before he gasped as the chemicals began to soak and even melt onto his armor. Crossfire and Motorstrike laugh maniacally as Crossfire then set the docks on fire before she, Motorstrike, and her conjunx-endura, Astrocharge left Megatron for dead with the untested science serum that seemed to be killing him.
"Can't wait to report your demise to our leader. Bye, bye, Megs! HAHAHAHAHA!" Motorstrike laughed with his comrades as they transformed into their vehicle modes and left.
Doomsayer and Orion Eclipse fought harder until the military, the FBI, and the armed forces came to fight off the New Decepticons and even the Autobots. Doomsayer and even Starscream took this as a sign that they and the New Decepticons and even the Insecticons should withdraw, flee and leave the burning city of Boise, Idaho to let the human authorities finish the Autobots for them.
"NEW DECEPTICONS! RETREAT!" Doomsayer ordered his armada as they all returned to the Devastator and escaped from the war zone. "Get back here, you coward!" Orion Eclipse yelled at Doomsayer to continue to fight him, but Hot Rod told him, "Orion, we need to get out of here now before the human military finishes us for our enemies!"
Ultra Magnus raised his voice for him and the Autobots to retreat and return to their base on Cybertron. "AUTOBOTS! RETURN TO BASE IMMEDIATELY!" Soon, the Autobots took their space bridges back to Cybertron, but Orion Eclipse remembered his dad hiding somewhere on the docks and he asked Bulkhead and Wheeljack, "WAIT! Where's my father?!" he asked.
Bulkhead and Wheeljack ran over to the docks to find Megatron while avoiding the humans and their military as Orion Eclipse follows the two Wreckers over to find Megatron. They looked around and they saw that the docks were on fire and it worried Orion. "Dad?! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Orion yelled in fear and concern for his father. The three Autobots suddenly heard a gasp and a painful groan that sounded like Megatron and they went over to the source of the painful noises he was making. And once they found Megatron, they were shocked to find out what happened to him.
"By the Allspark!" Wheeljack exclaimed. "Is...Is that...?" Bulkhead said in confusion and skepticism. "Dad?...Is that you?" Orion Eclipse asked in fear and confusion as he looked down at his father and he looked at his unconscious father as if he had changed his size and appearance. "QUICK! We better bring him back to base and get help from Ratchet immediately!" Orion said. "Now hold on, kid! How will we know if THIS is your father?!" Bulkhead asked. "He might be underwater or something!" he said.
Megatron groaned and he could hardly hear the words that his son and the two Wreckers were saying before he passed out and everything faded to black.
SEVERAL HOURS LATER...
After long hours of being in uncontrollable stasis, Megatron started to wake up. His vision was blurry and he could hardly hear a thing until he got his sight and hearing back as soon as he felt a chill around his body. He felt his body covered in a blanket and his head on a soft pillow. Megatron was confused and there was a pounding in his head as he tried to regain consciousness before he felt his body. He was shivering, wet, and...squishy? What in the Pits of Kaon happened to him back when Boise, Idaho was under attacked by New Decepticons and Insecticons?! It was then that Megatron heard a female voice that came from the nurse, June Darby who was tending to his needs.
"Guys, look! I think...I think he's coming back to us. He's waking up," June said.
"Ngnhhh...Ohhh...Gughh...My head...what happened?" Megatron placed his hand on his head and it felt fuzzy. Very fuzzy. To his confusion, he felt the hair on top of his head and whenever he tried to open his eyes, it was too bright for his optics. When he saw June, she was bigger, closer to his height now and then Megatron looked at his hands and they were a different shape and color, much to his shock. "AAAAGH!" Megatron yelled as he panicked. "What's happened to me?!" he said.
"Calm down, Megatron! You've had a concussion for over a day now!" Ratchet informed Megatron.
"Ratchet!? What has become of me?! Answer me, please!" Megatron pleaded. June Darby handed him a mirror to look at himself in the mirror. Megatron's eyes widened with shock and horror as he could see that he was transformed into something different. He's become human.
"By the Allspark!...My optics! My face! My dental plates! I'm...I'm...I'm human!" Megatron exclaimed.
"Easy there. We had to take care of you while you were unconscious. We had to make sure you weren't dying or anything." June Darby said to Megatron. "But...how did this happen!? What...?" Megatron began to ask before he suddenly remembered. "Oh, SCRAP! I remember now! Astrocharge! He...He threw that...that thing of chemicals at me!" Megatron recalled. "You remember." Ratchet said. "Starscream─no, Astrocharge will pay for what he's done to me! Doomsayer will be held accountable for his mad science fiasco on me!" Megatron said as he swore revenge.
"Woah, woah, calm down there, dad!" Orion Eclipse told his father. "You were lucky that Bulkhead, Wheeljack, and I found you at the docks!" he said.
"Son? Is that you?!" Megatron asked as he then squirmed at how big his son is now. Orion Eclipse was now 40 ft. tall and Megatron was now like 6 foot 4. "Of course, it's me, dad." Orion replied. "According to the scanners, you have become 100% human. I'm sorry, Megatron. We had no idea what had happened, but we took a small sample of the chemical that had turned you into a human being, and from what I've gathered...Astrocharge made a concoction of a serum that can turn metal, gears, and Energon into flesh, blood, and bone." Ratchet shuttered in disgust.
Megatron was now feeling sick to his stomach before he wanted to find out more as he got up out of his bed butt naked. "What...?" Everyone in the room gasped and closed their eyes as they were shocked to see a naked human Megatron in one room which is the Autobots' med bay, but not on Cybertron, but rather on Earth in Jasper, Nevada.
"Dagnabbit! Put some clothes on!" Ratchet exclaimed in disgust as he was holding the data pads showing the skeleton of Megatron's new human body while closing his optics.
Megatron was staring at his own naked human body and his chest hairs. His pecs were huge and he had an impressive physique. Ratchet couldn't take it anymore as he yelled at Megatron to stop staring at his nudity. "Stop staring at your own naked body and get dressed!" Ratchet told Megatron.
"Damn! Megs got some meat on his bones!" Miko Nakadai exclaimed. June Darby blushed at how well-muscled Megatron was. "Primus, please take me now..." Ratchet said while facepalming. Jack Darby was turning away while his mother, June, just stares nonchalantly. After all, she is a nurse, so she has seen plenty of naked people before.
"MOM!" Jack said to his mother. "What? I work at a hospital, you think I'm worried about seeing this kind of thing? Plus, those are big muscles..." June continues to stare at Megatron's sexy naked muscled body.
"How do we turn him back?" Orion Eclipse asked Ratchet. "Unfortunately, this might take a megacycle or even more for me to make a cure to this." the medic told the young bot. "But for now, I think Mrs. Darby should take Megatron back to her house and take care of him..." Jack interrupted Ratchet, "Oh, hell no! I'm not letting Megatron near my mom after all the things he did as a Decepticon warlord! Even though he's on our side now, I still don't trust him." he said.
Jonathan Dave Carter went up and told Jack Darby, "We understand that, Mr. Darby, but good God! What did they do to him?!" the Australian-American said before he said to everyone in the room, "But honestly, I'm more upset and even pissed off about what the New Decepticon bastards did to my home and what they did to capture and kill one of us in Boise! Anthony, his mom, and I were lucky to have survived this disaster of a terrorist event!" he said.
"And what's worse is that more and more people are blaming the Autobots for what the New 'Cons did yesterday!" Anthony Carter added to his stepdad's statement. "But let's not bring politics into this conversation, because I hate to hear more news about Adam Bowen's or even President Henderson's racist remarks on you Autobots," he said. "Indeed. So what do you suppose we should do? This ex-warlord needs help. He doesn't know how the human body works since he's been a robot his entire life―can someone PLEASE give Megatron a towel!?" Ratchet asked, feeling more shocked and disgusted by Megatron's nudity.
"On it! Here, here's your towel." June Darby told Megatron as she hands him a towel to put around his waist. "What do you say?" Miko said to Megatron. "Thanks, June," Megatron said to Jack's mother. "You're welcome." Mrs. Darby replied. "Alright! May I suggest that we have a nurse bring my dad over to her place so that he can stay the night at her house until we can figure out how to reverse this experiment gone wrong on my dad?" Orion Eclipse asked.
"Absolutely not! Look, I know that Megatron said that he can help us defeat Doomsayer and his cronies and I know that he saved my mom, but I still don't want him near her!" Jack protested. "Pu-lease! Do you think that I know how the human body works?" Ratchet said. "Alright, calm down, all of you!" Rafael Esquivel raised his voice. "I can't take it with all the yelling, okay!" he said. "We're sorry, Raf." Miko apologized before she turned to her fiancé with an angry look in her eye. "What?" Jack said. "Look, Jack. I know that it's hard to trust someone who used to be a warlord, but this is the bot―er, the man who saved your mom from Starscream and she was nice enough to help him when he used The Dark Star Saber. Plus, your mom is like the only human nurse we know who can help Megatron until we reverse this curse that Astrocharge put on him with that strange chemical concoction." Miko told her fiance. Jack paused before he sighed in defeat, "Alright." he said before he looked at his mom and told her, "Mom, you can take him over to our house. But only if he's harmless."
Later that day, June Darby drove Megatron back to her house and once they arrived at her neighborhood, June told Megatron to wait inside the house until she returns home with some clothing. So Megatron, still with a towel around his waist, sat patiently on the couch at June's house in the living room, waiting for June to return with some clothing and after a while, she returned to her house with some clothes. Thankfully, Jonathan Dave Carter was helpful with buying June Darby some clothes that might fit Megatron in his human form. June walks over to Megatron with two bags of men's clothing as she carefully sets them down near him.
"There. Got you a set of clothes." June Darby says as she hands Megatron some folded laundry of men's clothes. Megatron paused as he looks at the pile of clothes. "Th-thanks. Do they fit? How do I put them on?" Megatron asked. June blushed before she replied, "Of course, they fit. We measured your size. You're like six-foot-four inches tall and...Here let me show you how to put these clothes on." Megatron declined the offer, "No, no, no. I can put them on myself. I've put on attires before." he told the nurse. June made a smirk as she asked, "Really? Well, do you know anything about human clothing?" Megatron paused as he felt a little awkward. "Umm...yes and no?" he didn't know how to answer the question. June chuckled, "Here let me show you how." she said.
*a few minutes after helping Megatron put on his clothes*
Megatron looked handsome with his gray tank top, his dark blue jeans, and his black shoes with some white socks. June thought that he looked sexy in those clothes and she was pleased with how well they fit. "There. You look all nice and dressed up." June said. "It feels comfortable. They even fit." Megatron commented. His stomach then growls which startled him a little and June took it as a queue for them to have something to eat. "I think it's about time for lunch," she said. "Oh, is that this means? When my tank grumbles?" Megatron asked. June nodded before she explained, "It's called a stomach. Humans have stomachs and we fuel them with food and water. If they don't eat, they'll die of starvation and they'll die of thirst if they don't drink. But if they eat too much, they'll gain a lot of weight or even have diabetes and die of a heart stroke. You know what I mean, right?" she asked.
Megatron blinked and replied, "I...I think I do." His stomach growls again and he growls at it. June giggled and she thought that Megatron's curiosity was adorable. "Well, let's get you something to eat. I'll teach you the basic food groups of what normal humans eat. Do you like meat?" she asked. Megatron shook his head, "I'm sorry, meat?" he asked. June nodded, "You know. Animal flesh?" she said. Megatron pondered the question before he recalled back in the day when Soundwave told him basic Earth information he needed to know when Megatron was evil and he wanted to conquer Earth before he turned good. "Well, I've heard that meat has a lot of good proteins in them. But I've never actually eaten meat before," he admitted. "So you're some kind of vegetarian? A meat-eater or both?" June asked.
Megatron's stomach growled again and he grew impatient as he rudely told June, "Just give me some fuel before my tank growls again." June deflected the rude response as she corrected him, "Food! We call it "food" not Energon or fuel. And once again, you have a stomach, not a tank. Here, I'll see what I have in the fridge."
*time skip to June Darby serving tuna sandwich, water, and salad*
June Darby prepared lunch as she handed Megatron a plate of tuna sandwiches with some napkins and Megatron realized that he's never eaten human food before, so this might be his first time ever having to taste test human food. "So...all I have to do is eat them, right?" he asked. June Darby replied, "Right. But don't swallow them immediately. You have to chew your meal first until they're soft and squishy enough for you to swallow them whole." she told Megatron. the latter responded with, "I knew that Mrs. Darby." before Megatron slowly eats the tuna sandwich in both of his hands. The moment he ate the sandwich, the juicy flavor of the meat made him feel good. "Hmmm...Mmmm!" he said with his mouth full before chewing. "This is good." he takes another bite. "I like it," Megatron said.
"Don't chew with your mouth open." June told Megatron, "You need to learn to use your manners. Chew slowly and with your mouth closed and...just do what I do." she picks up her tuna sandwich then she shows Megatron how to properly eat human food. Megatron repeated after June as he took another bite of his tuna sandwich and ate it properly before he gulped down his food and felt relaxed. "Ahhh...I haven't eaten anything just as good as this since the grand banquet with my army at Kaon! What do you call this gunky pink and white stuff again?" Megatron asked. June answered, "Tuna. I added some mayonnaise to make it feel smoother. Tuna is basically fish meat and so is sushi. Would you like to try some vegetables? It's good for your body. But it might not taste good at first." June told Megatron.
Megatron picks up the fork like it's a triton before scooping up the salad. "Hmmm...I don't know why you humans would eat something bitter that's good for your bodies. But I'll give this one a taste test and see if I like it." Megatron slowly eats lettuce and then he chokes at first. June was concerned as she checked on Megatron, "Mega! Are you alright?" she asked worriedly. Megatron coughed a little before he answered, " I'm fine." He cleared his throat. "I guess I ate it the wrong way. The green stuff doesn't taste as good as the tuna. But if it's what keeps this human body of mine healthy..." Megatron said before he paused. "You don't have to be a vegetarian. Heck, I'm not even Vegan. But there are easier ways to eat your veggies. Just blend them and put them in tomato sauce for your pizza." June replied.
Megatron gulped down his lettuce after properly eating it. "Thanks. But I'm alright. In fact, I like the green food too." he said. "Oh. Well good for you. Would you like anything else?" June asked. "I'm not sure. I don't know much about humans and their food." Megatron said. June chuckled a little as she replied, "Oh, Megatron. You have no idea what you're missing out on, big guy." she told him. Megatron didn't like that last part she called him. "Please don't call me that," he said. "Sorry, I just couldn't help it. Because you're way taller and bulkier than me." June explained. Megatron chuckled a little before June offered him a napkin. "Here, let me get you a napkin."
After lunch, Megatron was beginning to feel tired, like he wanted to recharge after a long day. Hopefully, Ratchet will find a cure to turn him back into a Cybertronian. Megatron stretched his arms out and yawned, "I feel tired. I need to recharge." he said.
"Sleep. We call it sleep. We also call it, "going to bed" or "taking a nap". I can let you borrow Jack's old bedroom which is now a guest room since I still live here. Especially after my son moved out and he and Miko are now engaged." June told Megatron while mentioning her son's engagement. Megatron stretched his arms again and he told June, "Thank you for your hospitality, June. I only hope that I return to my original Cybertonian body soon."
"But before I 'escort you to your quarters', allow me to teach you how to use the bathroom. I'm sure you know how to use the toilet." June said to Megatron. "I do believe that even Cybertronians have their own sewage system." he said.
*time skip to after teaching him how to use the bathroom*
Megatron felt more relaxed as he walked into his guest room, "Ahhh...Never felt such warm liquid rushing down my body since the time I took a nice warm oil bath at Cybertron in my younger years." he said while remembering the glory days of his youth. "I think it's time for bed. But before you go to bed, let me get you your nighttime pills. Ratchet already scanned you and I managed to buy medicine for you so you can feel much healthier in the morning." June informed Megatron. Megatron looked confused and mildly skeptical, "But why? I thought you humans have immune systems in your bodies." he said. Mrs. Darby reminded him, "Well, we get sick and we get bruised and wounded. Our bodies don't work the same as Cybertronians. Keep in mind that you're flesh and bone right now and not..."
"Metal and Energon? Okay, Mrs. Darby. I get the idea" Megatron replied. "Good. I'll be right back." June told him before she went to get the nighttime medication. A few seconds later, she came back with some pills she got from the pharmacy before Megatron woke up and discovered that he's turned human. "Here. Put your pills in your mouth and swallow them with this glass of water." June told Megatron.
Megatron takes his pills and drinks his water before groaning in disgust, "Gughhh..." June Darby knew that this might take a long while before the Autobots would find the antidote to Megatron's humanoid transformation situation because of an experiment gone wrong by Astrocharge. "You'll get used to it. Goodnight. I'm going to bed now." June said. Megatron tucks himself into bed in the guest room that used to be Jack's room before he told June, "Goodnight...June. Thanks." he said politely.
"You're welcome," June replied before she turned off the lights and closed the door.
