Firewing stood in the command centre, her optics scanning over the datapad that Soundwave had just given her. "All looks good Soundwave" she started, as she took note of every detail. "Keep up the good work" she said, handing the datapad back; the mech nodded his thanks before turning to continue his duties. Firewing continued to look around the room, taking note of every monitor and keeping mental notes of anything of interest. She suddenly felt two small servos on her lower leg; she looked down to find her son holding her leg for support as he stared up at her. It had been a little over a week since Megatron had woken, and in that time; Firefall had begun walking… Though thankfully just short distances. She knelt down, taking care not to catch his servos in any of her leg armour. "Hello my spark" she said, kissing his helm softly. "Did you get away Cobalt again?" she cooed, knowing full well that the blue mech had let the mechling walk to his carrier. "Well aren't you just a clever little mechling?"
She suddenly stood up, lifting the sparkling up with her, before sitting on the command chair. "And what have you been up to my mechling?" she asked, causing the mechling to babble incoherently. "Really?" the femme asked, pretending to have a conversation with the small sparkling. "I had no idea" she seemed to gasp in shock, causing most of the room's occupants to melt at the spark warming scene.
Suddenly the doors burst open, revealing the large silver Decepticon leader; who strode in proudly. He had just been cleared to return to duty, and was eager to get back to work. He walked straight up to the command chair, smiling as he watched his mate and sparkling, before stopping just in front of it. "Supreme Commander Megatron reporting for duty" he said, bowing his helm slightly his servo over his chestplates.
Firewing smiled at the display, finding it endearing; and a little arousing. She stood slowly, carefully placing Firefall on the ground; who almost immediately started walking towards his sire. "Welcome back Supreme Commander" the femme started, almost chuckling as Firefall now grasped Megatrons leg armour. "Your presence has been greatly missed" she continued, watching as Megatron leant down to stroke his son's helm. "But now that you have returned, I willingly step down as Leader and allow you to take your rightful place" she said, as she stepped aside, allowing the large silver Decepticon to take up his usual post. She went to grab Firefall, intending to return to her quarters, when she was suddenly stopped.
"Firewing please don't leave" he whispered, as he looked into her optics. He knew that he wanted to lead the Decepticons with his mate by his side. He was glad when she nodded, smile gracing her beautiful faceplates. He stood to his full height. "Firewing of Vos" he started, his servo grasping her gently. "In my absence you took command of this base, ensuring that all under your leadership were well taken care of. Therefore, I would like to offer you a position by my side, as my equal. To lead beside me" he said; bring the femme closer to him.
"It would be my honour" the femme said, causing the bots in the room to cheer happily. She suddenly felt herself being pulled to stand to Megatrons right, Starscream having already taken up his usual position to Megatrons left.
Firefall, not wanting to be left out suddenly cried out, his arms rising above his helm. "Of course Firefall" the silver mech said, as he lent down to pick the sparkling up. "I haven't forgotten about you" he started, a mischievous smile on his faceplates. "You will replace Starscream as my loyal second" he cooed softly.
"Hey" the seeker suddenly said, though a warm smile evident on his faceplates. "I can't just be replaced, he must fight for that position" the seeker smiled widely.
"Very well" the silver mech said, before setting the sparkling down. "Go get him Firefall" he said to the small silver and red mech, as he pointed at the tri-coloured seeker.
Starscream almost laughed at how adorable the sparkling looked as he 'stalked' towards him. "Alright Firefall, be warned I won't hold back" he said, suddenly dropping to his knees, giving the sparkling a fighting chance. He chuckled as Firefall squealed excitedly, his small servos smacking against the seekers chestplates. Starscream suddenly feigned being hurt, his servos coming up to protect his chest. "Oh the first blow hit its mark. What ever shall I do?" he asked, swiping his servo towards the sparkling; very slowly, said sparkling giggling as he 'dodged' the attack. Starscream mocked surprise as Firefall 'attacked' again, suddenly leaping into the mechs arms; Starscream wanting to keep up appearances, suddenly toppled to his back, the sparkling now sitting on his chestplates. He chuckled slightly as the sparkling 'pinned' him to the ground, suddenly pretending to struggle under the small silver and red mechling. "No I'm pinned" he started, his helm suddenly turning to his leader; who was obviously enjoying the 'fight'. "Megatron, please help me" he reached a servo out to the large silver mech.
Megatron, as well as most of the bots in the room, chuckled at the adorable scene. "I do believe that tradition dictates that no-one is to interfere" the silver mech said, barely containing his laughter.
Starscream mocked shock and fear as he spoke again, servos once again coming up to protect himself. "Please, I beg of you. Have mercy" he said, just as Firefall smacked his chestplates again; laughing as he did. "No I'm defeated" the seeker said, as his servos went limp at his sides. "You have beaten me fairly in battle. I yield" he said, looked up at the giggling sparkling.
Megatron smiled fondly at this, before walking over to pick the sparkling up. "And the winner is. Firefall" he said, as he tickled a digit under the mechlings chin.
Firewing walked over to the 'downed' seeker, offering him a servo. "Thank you Starscream" she said, as she helped the mech to his pedes. "He hadn't had that much fun" she said, looking over at her mate as he showed off his champion to the rest of the Decepticons; who all cooed in awe at the small mechling. "This was just what he needed" she finished.
"Perfectly honest my lady" the seeker said, as he watched the 'new second' meet his underlings. "I had just as much fun as he did" he said proudly, not ashamed to admit that he enjoyed the mock battle with the sparkling. "I very much enjoyed that, and would always be willing to help entertain him" he said, as he turned to look down at the femme.
"I believe everyone is" the femme answered, watching as the sparkling; once again, stole the sparks of the Decepticon warriors.
