Apologies for the wait, hope this chapter is goes down well.
Enjoy and please review.
...
"Well?" Starscream asked sometime later. "How was that?"
"Most satisfactory," Perceptor stated, currently lying in Starscream's arms. His valve tingled and ached slightly and he could tell it was in far better condition than the last time this had happened.
"Of course," the Seeker said smugly. "So, you tested my daughter?"
"I did, she wished to play so I indulged her," Perceptor agreed. "She enjoyed herself very much I assure you."
"Hmm, she never mentioned being upset," Starscream admitted. "She appears to have enjoyed her time there."
"But she missed you," Perceptor said shrewdly. "That's why she returned."
"She's a good Femme," Starscream stated, pride clear in his voice. "She takes good care for her little brothers."
"I bet she does, I noticed her affection for her older brother," the red scientist said as Starscream grunted.
"I guess," Starscream finally said after a few minutes. "I should get going."
"Do you?" Perceptor questioned. "Forgive me but I doubt Megatron has changed in the few short hours you've been away from him. Perhaps he needs to learn what he's missing."
Starscream stared at the red mech. For one without feelings he was right; however the seeker sensed there was something else in the background...
"Should I stay, you say?" Purred then the flier getting himself back on top and between Perceptor's legs. The other just allowed him to do as he pleased.
'Why would he do that?' Thought Starscream.
"Yes, you can come with me to the Autobot base. I can get you in without anyone noticing," Answered Perceptor as his valve dripped at the idea of being ravished again.
The seeker considered that... Maybe he can use that as an advantage to get some information for Megatron... However the bastard betrayed him and his spark remained broken at what happened.
On the other hand, he can frag this little mech until he tires, that sounded good, maybe that can make up for all the slag the mech he loved did to him.
"Excellent..." Said Starscream. "But if I go, your aft is mine..." He added while pushing again his spike into Perceptor who moaned wantonly.
"Very good... But I prefer the valve... The aft is not made to receive a spike," Said the little red mech as Starscream thrusts and smirked at the remark.
...
"Hmmmm..." Purred in delight Elita as her valve tingled before she closed her codpiece.
Optimus was now lying unconscious, blissfully sleeping onto their berth as she transformed into her spider form back and looked at her lover lovingly.
Last night after retrieving Optimus she awoke him and he ravished her not even a second after... Not that she was complaining, she loved every second of it as he stretched and filled her up so passionately.
Well, thanks to that the femme was sure she will not be able to walk in two legs for a while, so, instead she will use her eight.
How useful in the end was to be a spider... Venom... Silky but strong webs, eight optics and legs that warned her from any situation and saved her from this awkward situation like now... And above all, she was deadly.
Before, as Elita One, her only power was to absorb others, but now, besides that she had everything else that made her a worthy opponent and a feared one.
As she cleaned herself she considered all of that; besides, before she and Optimus became intimate, she believed herself to be hideous, but now, with him telling her and showing her how beautiful she was, she believed him... And how not when he ravished her like that!?
She felt her valve tightening at the idea... Even in spider form.
Primus... Last night was... Amazing!
But back to business, she needed to do something before and the spider frowned her eight optics.
Minutes later she was crawling onto the roof towards the brig, it was fun to find Sentinel and scare the frag out of him and make him lubricate on himself. The afthole really believed organics or techno-organics are dangerous.
She left behind the shivering and traumatized mech and walked into the brig...
...where her cocooned prey was sleeping due to her venom.
She deactivated the bars and crawled towards him-
"What is miss lady spider doing with bounty hunter?" Asked Jetfire. His brother supporting him.
"Hello dears, just wish to speak with him, why don't you sit and look how I interrogate a prisoner?" She said in her melodious voice somehow making them obey.
However...
"Ultra Magnus will want to speak with him first... Will be upset with you speaking with him," Said Jetfire.
She turned and faced them. "Just need to ask him some things... Don't worry... I will let him be all his when I'm done."
The twins looked at each other and nodded allowing her to continue. So she crawled onto his big cocoon and pinched his neck after exposing it a little.
The big mech grunted and onlined his optics... Only to gasp as his spark gave a jump at the horrible sight of a giant spider with its horrible dripping fangs too close to him.
Then took a look at his surroundings and knew where he was...
"I couldn't let you go and be hired again so you may try to take Optimus again," It talked.
Of course... Blackarachnia...
"Traitor!" Hissed Lockdown. "When Lord Megatron finds about this, you will be squished as the insect you are!"
"I don't think he will find out about my desertion because of you... After all, I need a feeding source for my sparklings," She said that with so much security that for a moment Lockdown hesitated.
"I will be most glad when he stomps on you... It seems you sold your aft to that cute candy optic Autobot... You whored yourself and the Decepticons!" He barked.
"Then now you understand why I cannot let you go... Besides, my eggs needs to develop and as such... Need a carrier..."
That froze Lockdown, she couldn't be serious, right?
"And who's better than the mech who killed Yoketron, stole the protoforms, hurt Ratchet and tried to get my lover back to that rapist? Because yes... I DID whore myself to Optimus Prime... And you know what? I LOVED IT... After all, you'd seen his... attributes before in the woods."
By now the hunter was shivering slightly. She just couldn't...
"No one frags like him... Letting him frag you is like allowing Primus to ravish you! Why do you think that old bastard is so obsessed with him? But you know what? Optimus is MINE! And I will not allow anyone to take him from me, even less frag what is mine! Only I can frag him! If anyone else dares, I'll kill them... However, this time I believe my children will take care of that for me..." She trailed off pointing the place his abdomen should be with one of her sharp legs.
...and now the hunter was scared.
"Now you feel nothing, but there they are... Eating you alive... Developing themselves... Sadly you won't meet them..." She finished trailing off.
The twins, watchers of this were horrified at her revelations... But they loved it! It was like watching a horror movie. So they didn't dare to interrupt her.
"N-no... You... You c—can't!" Stuttered the hunter as he tried to move something, anything, but failed, tried to use his , to call for help, for his ship, but nothing worked.
This femme is crazy!
And this couldn't be his end... Right?
"This may be the last words you may hear... Optimus is mine... And I will use all my powers to ensure he remains with me... Now... I'll let my sparklings to feed in peace, I bet with all the mods you have they will be happy and healthy," She added before reaching for him again with her horrible fangs.
"N-no! No! Wait! Please no!" Finally cried the trapped mech.
"Ooh, is she going to eat him?" Jetfire asked his brother with rapt interest.
"I am thinking she is just going to make him nice and limp," Jetstorm declared. "He is being more tender that way."
Lockdown had heard every word and his optics almost popped out of their sockets. Surely they couldn't be serious...?
"No...don't you dare...stop!" he screamed. "This isn't what Autobots do!"
"You're right," she said with a smirk. "Just as well I'm not an Autobot, isn't it?"
He realised to his horror that she wasn't joking around. And her awful offspring could right now be inside him, Primus, he was sure he could feel them already. He tried struggling once more but he was wrapped up tight. He couldn't help but briefly wonder if this was how his captives felt when he tied them down. It wasn't a pleasant thought.
"You...you can't really mean it," he tried weakly, hoping against hope she was just trying to scare him.
"Oh don't I?" she purred calmly, smirking at him.
"Hey, I was just going to leave," he said hurriedly. "Megatron's paid me, I've got better things to do than hang around here. That Prime's more trouble than he's worth."
"Oh I beg to differ," she stated. "But I know you, if Megatron offered you a big enough reward, you would stay and continue harassing us. I'm afraid I cannot allow that. So, why don't you stay still for me..."
"NO!" he shrieked, thrashing around as much as possible as she gave a little tut.
"Oh well, this will just hurt you more," she said in mock sorrow, gripping him firmly and lashing out with one of her stingers. With a yelp of pain, he was knocked out.
"Ooh, that was really good miss spider lady," Jetstorm declared.
"Is that how you interrogate?" his twin asked eagerly.
"It is one way of doing it," she said simply, stretching. "Now, he'll hang him for a while sleeping, your Magnus is welcome to question him when he wakes."
"But what we be telling him?" they asked.
She smirked and said. "Just that I've placed a little something inside that bounty hunter to make sure he cooperates."
They looked at her with awe, watching as she sauntered out of the brig and away from them. If they had to hero worship anyone, it would have to be her.
...
"Mm," Megatron mumbled as he slowly came out of recharge. His body felt a little heavy but also very satisfied and he smiled as he realised he must have had a very good night interfacing. As he woke up further, he remembered being spiked by both that little Prime and Starscream. What a night that had been, who knew being spiked was so good.
Now he really couldn't understand why that little Prime had fled him, his own large spike was surely more than enough to please any number of Primes. Oh well, he would just have to educate the stubborn bot on that next time he grabbed him.
He threw out an arm, expecting to find Starscream there but he only found a cold spot. How odd, Starscream normally slept with him the whole night. Unless he was seeing to their creations, yes, that was probably it. But...he wouldn't mind spending the morning with his lover doing what they'd done the previous night.
"Starscream?" he called.
No answer.
"Starscream?" He tried again this time adding a growl annoyed with the fact he had to repeat the call only for no one to answer him again.
The Decepticon lord grunted in annoyance this time getting up from his berth and walked away from the room, then went to see his creations just in case; they were all asleep still; so, where is their carrier?
He started to grow frustrated then walked to the command centre and asked for his seeker:
Only to receive one answer from Blitzwing:
"He's gone for a flight, sir, but has not returned since then."
Megatron's optic twitched. "And who gave him permission?! Find him and bring him back!" He roared and all his men scrambled to work.
Once Starscream returns to his place, he will tie him up to the berth and slash his wings before fragging him to make him understand that he has no permission to leave!
"Sir?" Tried Blitzwing, it was Icy's face. "His signal faded eight hours ago... We cannot locate him... It seems he doesn't wants to be found."
Megatron took a deep vent before facing his troops: "Find him!" And roared at them loud enough to be heard in the entire ship.
He couldn't understand how he dared to abandon him and their creations!
Fragging seeker! And he thought all of them were possessive of their sparklings and always wanted them near...
...it didn't seemed to the case of Starscream... However, he was still confused about it. Not even Prime abandoned him without his son... So, why did this lunatic flier...?
There the answer came to him, Starscream was not okay perhaps... Maybe his processor needs to be checked; yes, that's is...
...besides, he said he loves him, right? He will never abandon his lover on will!
Another thought crossed his mind... Maybe he was caught by the Autobots!
His optics widened!
"No..." He thought in mild horror. "Call Ultra Magnus!" He ordered and soon one of those cyberninjas answered.
"Yes?"
"I want my seeker back!" Megatron barked.
"Yer seeker? What seeker?" Asked Jazz utterly confused. He was sure Optimus was no seeker and he was just recovered from being taken from him.
"Don't play fool to me, you have Starscream and you better give him back!"
"We have no seeker here... And if we do, we will not give that to ya, ah don't know why ya call, we have nothing that is yours or the Magnus himself would have contacted ya like when it happened with yer abandoned kid. Goodbye."
And with that, Jazz cut the call right in the Decepticon leader's face... And said leader was now roaring in fury as his soldiers tried to escape the beating.
...
Meanwhile, without him knowing the missing seeker was in Perceptor's berth thrusting his hard spike into the welcoming valve from behind the little mech who was with his aft up and his front on the berth...
...he picked up this position because it will help his body to save the transfluid better deep inside him, besides it was even more pleasing than the other ways and the spike poked straight at his ceiling node causing him to overload powerfully and tighten his valve harder against the intrusion as it sucked and saved the seeds of a sparkling deep inside him.
"Ooohhh... Frag yes...!" Moaned Starscream as he emptied all his load into the sucking valve before collapsing on top of the mech without pulling out.
... Perceptor complained each time he pulled out from him after an overload, it seemed he liked to be filled and plugged after the release.
"Hmmm..." Groaned the seeker as Perceptor panted trying to cool off.
"That was... Very satisfying... Ohh...!" The little mech couldn't help but spasm once more. Lubricants were coating his tights and he...he liked it.
It was a rather incredible revelation but it was true. This didn't bother him too much, it would make their couplings much easier. And if Starscream knew he was enjoying himself, he would put more effort into it, increasing the likelihood of conception.
"I think you've been needing a decent lover," Starscream chuckled. Most bots had probably been put off by Perceptor's emotionless state but the Seeker believed he'd uncovered a surprisingly passionate lover.
"Mm, I am very particular about who I interface with," Perceptor said distractedly, pleased that Starscream was remaining within him.
"Is that so?" laughed Starscream, feeling re-markedly relaxed considering he was in an Autobot base, one that contained the dangerous Magnus. Here was a submissive lover who didn't obsess over a bot who wanted nothing to do with him. The only fly in the oil was that he missed his beautiful creations and wished they could be with him. He knew he couldn't stay here forever, he would have to be reunited with them but he was sure they would be alright for a little while without him.
"It is," the red Autobot stated matter-of-factly. "If it's not impertinent...why did you chose Megatron as a lover?"
Starscream pondered the answer, still feeling very resentful towards the grey Mech.
"I suppose I've always found him attractive," he finally said. "He is a strong, powerful Mech, I liked that. I used to try and gain his attention, my way of teasing him but it didn't always go well. Especially after a big fight we had and I...almost blew him up, forcing him to reformat his body armour. But because he was so frustrated over that Prime, I managed to work up the courage to approach him directly and offer my...services you could say."
Perceptor nodded, indicting he was listening attentively.
"Our first coupling...it went so well that he didn't want to let me go and we continued. And not long afterwards, I discovered I was carrying and I was so happy I could give him an heir. I thought he would make me his mate and forget all about that Autobot he'd knocked up. But of course, it wasn't to be, even after nine sparklings, eight of them sons, he still lusts for Prime's body."
"It is very illogical," Perceptor agreed. "Optimus Prime has made his position clear, you and Megatron interface well and have a large family, he should focus his energies on you."
"Of course he should," Starscream declared heatedly. "I would not necessarily mind him seeing that Valour since Slipstream loves him but why can't he just give up on Prime?"
"I have no idea," Perceptor mused. "Perhaps some sort of glitch?"
"He's glitched all right," the Seeker muttered darkly before giving himself a shake. "Never mind Megatron, why don't we get back to more interesting activities?"
Perceptor shivered, his body was already growing excited again for a new coupling. Oh, what a sparkling they would create together.
...
"Sire?" Slipstream questioned. "Where Carrier?"
"I don't know," growled Megatron, there had still been no sign of that wretched Seeker. "He has been missing for several hours."
Her optics widened, was her carrier in danger? She had not felt anything while asleep but now she tried to sense how her carrier was. He was not offlined or injured, that much she could tell. She was sure she could feel a longing for her and her brothers and this made her wonder. If her carrier missed her and the others, why didn't he come home?
"Did you and carrier fight?" she questioned softly.
"No!" he exclaimed, throwing up his hands in frustration. "We had a wonderful night, I cannot understand this."
Growling, he muttered. "I must go and find him."
Without another word to her, he marched off, no doubt to transform and go searching for Starscream himself. Slipstream watched him go, thinking. She had a bond with her carrier and she thought that perhaps she could locate him. Her Sire seemed to upset to think about that, what a shame that he hadn't bonded with her carrier yet.
Sneaking away, she headed for an exit and started to make her way in the direction she could sense her carrier...however.
"Chirp?"
"No, you go back," she scolded Thundercracker who had stepped on a twig as he'd tried to follow her. "You too."
The others peeped out from their hiding places, her own brood of brothers had sensed her intentions and were trying to follow her. But because of their young age, where not very good at it.
"Chirp!" Stated Thundercracker with decision making his sister roll her optics.
"I know, we all miss carrier..." She trailed off looking at them and then sighing. "Fine, you can come, but you better be fast because I will not wait for you!"
It was a half hearted declaration, because she WILL stop for them.
...
It was late in the night when the Magnus decided to give a walk to clear his mind; it was a long day and he had a lots of things to consider.
Suddenly he felt too old.
He had to found a way for Longarm to show his true face and those senators as well, then there is another problem, Megatron still lusted after one of his Primes and almost caught him back. Only Primus knows how many sparklings Optimus will be forced to carry until he deactivates under the mad Decepticon lord's claws.
Then there was also another problem; Starscream was missing and Megatron wants him back. He'd gave him nine sparklings which he abandoned in that ship with their sire, he was always known as treacherous and back-stabber; but, can he really attack or even plot against the co-creator of his many creations?
Then again was that little femmling of theirs, Slipstream. She was something... Incredibly intelligent by her age and size, she will be an oponent to consider once she grows and that worries him the most.
The Magnus never wished for her to return to her creators and instead preferred to rise her himself; however she was gone thanks to those soft sparked idiots under Optimus Prime's orders. By then he swore that if that femmling ever fell in his clutches again, then he will never let her go back to Megatron.
Also, he almost forgot, there was her half-brother, Valour...
...that mechling was something special; it was obvious he'd taken after his carrier and he wondered if Optimus was that innocent and forgiving when his age. Also... He touched the Magnus' hammer... And this one reacted positively to him...
...that can only mean-
::Ultra Magnus, sir!::
An urgent message interrupted his train of thought and he answered with a growl. "Yes, Red?"
::Sir, you have to flee the area, we've detected nine Decepticons signals and they are going towards your direction!:: The femmebot exclaimed.
Ultra Magnus sighed. "Its okay, Red, I might be old but I think I can handle nine Decepticons."
::But sir-!:: She wasn't able to finish as he cut the connection.
It was just what he needed, nine 'cons to clear his mind, so he headed the way he sensed them before hearing some... Chirps?
"You wanted to follow, now hold long your hunger!" A little feminine voice answered... A voice the Magnus will never forget.
"Slipstream?" He said before devising not just her but other eight little seekerlets.
She looked up at him before crawling. "Have you seen carrier?"
He then took her up in arms and looked at the object he swore to never let go again before answering: "No, I've haven't."
Slipstream tilted her head to the side. "Can you take me to him?"
"I've said I don't know where he is," Stated the leader but she insisted.
"But he's that way..." She pointed towards the Autobot base. Her brothers chirped in agreement
Seconds later Prowl, Jazz and the Dinobots appeared and helped him take the seeker sparklings in the base as he took Slipstream and she alone guided him towards the place she can feel her carrier.
"He's in here... I feel him in here!" She exclaimed excitedly making the Magnus nod and frown at the place...
... Perceptor's quarters.
And when he opened the door... He gasped in horror before covering Slipstream's optics as she covered her mouth when got a quick view at what her creator was up to.
"Ohhh...yes...harder Starscream...make me harder!" Exclaimed Perceptor in that monotone but overexcited odd tone of his as the seeker hammered the huge spike into his moist valve.
"So that's where Screamer's been hiding," mused Jazz, holding two of the Sparklings who were chirping and glancing around for their carrier.
Ultra Magnus quickly slammed the door shut, the occupants not noticing in the slightest and stepped back with a deeper frown. Just what was Perceptor playing at, being fragged by a Con in his room and by Starscream no less. Slipstream was also confused and said.
"Carrier playing with Percy?"
"Hmm, yes, it would appear so," he said grimly before turning to the others. "We might as well take them to the rec room, they can play with their brother."
All the sparklings perked up at this, all the little seekerlet Mechs started chirping excitedly.
"Yah like that do yah?" Jazz asked with a grin, holding his up as they wagged their tiny little wing nubs. "Yah little cuties, aren't yah?"
"They are Megatron's," Ultra Magnus reminded him, even though they were indeed cute.
"How will we feed them?" Prowl questioned. "Starscream appears too busy to do so and they are in need of something."
"We will ask Ratchet or Red Alert on the best way to deal with them," stated the Magnus, holding the eldest seekerlet firmly in his grasp. He meant it when he said he was not letting her go.
Thankfully, the Dinobots followed them obediently, leaving the muffled sounds of love making far behind. They reached the Rec Room where Bumblebee and Valour were watching some tv, Optimus had recovered from Lockdown's drug but was too worn out to do anything other than sleep right now.
"Brudder!" Slipstream called in delight and he turned with a gasp.
"Slipstream!" he yelled, jumping off the sofa and running straight for her. She wriggled out of the Magnus's grasp and went straight for him, followed by her hoard of brothers all chirping madly. The young bot was utterly enveloped by them as all his little siblings attempted to hug him all at once.
"Whoa!" gasped Bumblebee, he hadn't seen that many sparklings in stellar cycles. "Where did they come from?"
"They came looking for their carrier," Ultra Magnus stated, waving at Jazz to fetch the Medics. "Who is currently engaged in Perceptor's quarters."
Bumblebee stared before opening his mouth but was interrupted by Prowl.
"I would not ask," he advised and Bumblebee closed his mouth.
"Hey, watch it," giggled Valour, he'd finally managed to free his head as all the seekerlets settled, chirping contentedly. "Wow, you're all so small."
"Brudder," Slipstream murmured, nuzzling his check. "Missed you."
"I missed you too," he assured her. "Is Sire being mean to you?"
"No, looking for carrier," she told him. "He playing with Percy."
He stared in amazement, did that mean what he thought it did.
"We will need to set up living quarters for them," Ultra Magnus now stated to Prowl who looked at him shrewdly.
"Do you intend to keep them here, sir?" he questioned.
"Of course I do, you think I would allow Megatron to get his servos on them once more?" demanded the larger Autobot. "Besides, we can give them a much better life than he could."
"I suppose that is true," Prowl agreed. "But he isn't going to be happy, he might attack."
"Let him try, we have his pet bounty hunter in custody, there's nothing he can do," declared Ultra Magnus as Ratchet and Red Alert arrived.
"Oh my," she gasped as the sight of so many Sparklings.
"Unbelievable," grunted Ratchet as Bumblebee grinned at him. "Bet you didn't think you'd see that again, doc bot."
"Not that many seeker sparklings I didn't," Ratchet stated, going over with his daughter to examine them.
"I'm their big brother," Valour declared proudly, feeling one of his brothers climb up his back and flop against the back of his head.
"I can see that," Ratchet said, taking hold of a sparkling to lift him up. The sparkling let out an indignant squawk, he wanted to be in the huddle with the others.
"I think they're tired," Red Alert said as the sparkling squirmed madly in her sire's grasp. "We should take them somewhere to rest."
"Where?" Ratchet grunted, trying to keep hold of Skywarp.
"I know where," Valour said brightly.
...
"Urgh," Optimus groaned as he came along. He wasn't sure what had been going on but his spike felt heavy and worn out. Something he didn't even know was possible for a spike to feel until now.
However, as he tried to sit up, he became aware of what felt like several small bodies against and on top of him. This really confused him since the only small weight he was aware of was his son. Had he been drinking?
And was that...purring?
He tried to remember what happened, what was the last thing he remembered...
"Uh!" A deep and hard sting exploded in his head as he found himself unable to remember. "What...?" He tried hoarsely once again to remember...
...a ship landing, a green minibot, he demanded for Bumblebee...
...then nothing!
The small chirps and purrs continued lowly and sometimes some cuddlings-
'Wait a sec... Cuddlings?!'
The Prime onlined his optics fast but still in the beginning static was everything he could see. As he waited for his sight to clear, he lifted up his head weakly only to feel something against his face... Something that grabbed him and chirped again!
When his sight finally cleared, he yelped in shock at what was on him and around him!
Sparklings! Seeker sparklings! Several of them!
Where did they come from?!
Along with them was Valour sleeping soundly and the white sparkling grabbing on a side of his face chirped.
He looked at him and big red optics looked at him back...
"Chirp?"
Honestly he didn't know what was happening, he was still in his own quarters with his son, and this ones were definitely Megatron's sons... And daughter... Why are they here?!
Looking better at a blue one, he noticed he was... Feeding on his tube? How he located that?
Not wanting to scare the little ones as scared as he was, he called Ratchet. Luckily the medic answered and he and his daughter, along with Swoop will come soon... He just had to hold long for a little while... Even if a sparkling that was not his was feeding from him and he couldn't remember much from the last time he was conscious.
...
Perceptor and Starscream finally fell asleep, tired from their activities and drained from both energy and fluids.
However, when silence was finally made in that room, Ultra Magnus decided to question his scientist about his attitude and for daring to fraternize with the enemy so openly.
The seeker hugged and cuddled spoon-like the other as they recharged; the berth was a mess and a stink of lubricants and transfluid filled the entire room.
Magnus wiggled his nose and motioned Blackarachnia to enter, who gasped and had to cover her mouth to not giggle at the sight.
...if Megatron can see this, he will be beyond furious... He will be once he found out that she was fragging Optimus, but this may make him explode his processor.
Silently she crawled towards them in spider form before stinging Starscream; the seeker gasped but remained in recharge.
She wondered why would the seeker do that to Megatron? Was he trying to call his attentions since he still desired her Optimus?
Whatever was the case, he abandoned the fragger just as Optimus had... And surprise, he even took his creations away from his sire! -albeit not directly-
Internally she laughed.
The spider then started shaking Perceptor to awake him and he grunted.
"Perceptor, wake up!" Commanded loudly the Magnus making him flinch and online his optics lazily.
"My Magnus...?" He tried hoarsely but still with that drone-like tone.
"Explain this! What is the Decepticon air commander doing here on your berth, fragging you!?" He demanded quite angrily.
"Uh... Of course..." The red mech said trying to get up only to find himself way too weak. "I will gladly explain you everything, Magnus, after I've cleaned and refuelled properly. I have a reason for this."
"Then state it now!" The Magnus barked at the brink of fury and Perceptor got the message.
"I try to get myself with Starscream's sparkling, we, together can create an intelligent being that may be even more than we ever expect," He said simply.
For once, Ultra Magnus' left optic twitched involuntarily in annoyance at his scientist. "What?!"
"Yes, we coupled enough times to ensure it, there is a high possibility of me carrying now since he make sure I overloaded and that made my body more receptive for conception."
Blackarachnia's eight optics were looking from one mech to the other as the tension became thin. She didn't dare to move in case it breaks and hell is released.
The Magnus was speechless... He should have waited for Perceptor to bathe and refuel before receiving such news... After all, who else but him would use interface for what it was made of?!
...reproduction!
Now he couldn't beat some sense in him or make Ratchet do it as the old medic always wished, not if he was indeed carrying!
Carrying Starscream's sparkling!
"Perceptor...why...?" He whispered weakly. This was a disaster of epic proportions! Starscream is Megatron's whore! If the slagger finds about this, he may kill the scientist and his child in his rage since he hadn't gave the seeker permission to frag and even less impregnate another!
Without counting that seekers are very possessive of their young, Starscream may not want to abandon Perceptor and may abduct him, take him with Megatron to be used as- he didn't wanted to think.
"I saw it was a good opportunity," Perceptor said calmly. "I've learned much from Jetstorm and Jetfire, imagine what I could learn from a child of Starscream."
"Perceptor," Ultra Magnus began slowly, he was sure he could feel a headache brewing. "Your last...lover probably didn't care whether he impregnated you or not. Starscream however, will very much care and he will not allow you to keep that sparkling. Either he tries to take it back to Megatron or he will take both of you."
Perceptor cocked his head as though he had not thought of that. He now said.
"Starscream has expressed severe dissatisfaction with Megatron. He feels he is not appreciated and wishes to be away from him."
"So you thought you could convince him to stay with you?" the only Femme in the room asked. "The thing is, Starscream can be hot headed and act without thinking but once he's gotten over his annoyance at Megatron, he'll want to return to him. He hasn't birthed nine sparklings without some serious attraction to the big lug. And while I'm sure it was nice to be doing the spiking for a change, he'll want Megatron's spike soon enough."
Ultra Magnus grimaced at the mention of 'Megatron's spike' so pretended not to have heard that bit.
"She's right," he informed his scientist sternly. "And never mind that Seeker's feelings, what about Megatron's? There is no way in pit he's going to allow Starscream to remain here and even less for him to sire a sparkling with another. You will be lucky if he does not kill you and the sparkling."
"But you would not allow that," stated Perceptor making Ultra Magnus sigh.
"Of course I would not but I do not want you and this possible sparkling in fear for the rest of their lives. Primus, what a mess."
"Especially with Megatron's other children here," mused Blackarachnia as Perceptor sat up.
"Slipstream is here? And all her brothers?"
As they nodded, he smiled and said. "That is good, Starscream expressed a desire for them. This will keep him here much longer."
Ultra Magnus grimaced, why did he have the feeling Starscream did not realise the main reason Perceptor had fragged with him. He guessed the Seeker had wanted to vent and had surprisingly found a very willing victim. He probably only had fragging on his mind and then planned to return to Megatron feeling satisfied he'd successfully cheated on him. The possibility of sparklings had probably never crossed his foolish processor.
"Is he alright?" Perceptor now asked, gesturing towards Starscream.
"He's fine, I just made sure he'd remain sleeping," she replied reassuringly. "Should I wake him?"
"I suppose you might as well," Ultra Magnus grunted before saying. "Perceptor, you'd better clean up first."
"Yes sir," he said, hurrying to obey.
"Shall I clean Starscream up a little?" Blackarchania offered and the Magnus nodded.
Once Perceptor was done, Starscream and the berth was looking much cleaner. She Blackarchania hadn't minded doing it, she'd handled far worst substances in her time. Once they were ready, she injected Starscream with a new venom, causing him to wake up.
"What...what?" he stammered, that awakening had been rather rude.
He stared at Perceptor before noticing who else was in the room.
"The Magnus!" he shrieked before noticing the spider like Femme.
"YOU!" he cried furiously. "You traitor, I should have known you'd be here mixed up with these Autobots."
"Hello to you to," she said with a wry smile before his expression changed. He leaned forward with a frown before saying in astonishment. "You're carrying!"
"Fascinating," Perceptor murmured as she smirked and said. "Yes I am. Since you gave little Valour plenty of siblings, I thought I'd do the same."
He looked confusion before realisation dawned on him.
"You whore," he gasped as she gave him a look.
"Now there's the sharkticon calling the cyber rat ugly," she said with contempt. "As if you didn't jump Megatron first chance you got."
He drew himself up, hissing. "My sparklings are the finest in the universe and definitely the best on this planet."
"They are beautiful," she acknowledged with a shrug. "And very sweet."
His optics narrowed. "And how do you know that?"
She smiled at him before he gasped. "Oh Primus...are they here?"
"Perhaps," she said lightly as Ultra Magnus stated. "If you cooperate Seeker, you may see them."
"What have you done to them," almost wailed Starscream. "They are innocent sparklings, how dare you lock them up."
"They are currently sleeping with their half brother Valour on a very comfortable berth," Ultra Magnus stated curtly. "They are not locked up."
"They better not be," Starscream warned before frowning at Perceptor. "You said you would not tell."
"I did not," Perceptor said calmly. "We were...uh...discovered."
"Your creations tracked you down," the large Magnus told him. "And got an opticful."
Starscream flushed at this before he frowned again. He squinted at Perceptor as though he was sensing something. Ultra Magnus didn't like that look at all so he said briskly. "Well, do you wish to see them?"
"Yes...I do," Starscream said, getting up. "They must be so hungry by now."
"Then accompany us and do not try anything," Ultra Magnus warned. Hopefully, seeing his sparklings safe and sound would keep this Seeker cooperative. Because he would not hesitate to put him in cuff if he show any sign of attacking.
The journey was uneventful except for Starscream continuing to give Perceptor looks which only seemed to make the red scientists happier. But once they reached Optimus's room, they were met by some sight.
"Carrier!" Slipstream exclaimed with joy, she and her brothers had been happily crawling all over Optimus and his berth while the medics tried to examine them.
"My darlings," he gasped, rushing over and trying to scoop them all up into his arms.
Optimus sighed in relief before saying. "Well Ratchet?"
"You'll need a cube, those little winglets have almost drained you dry," he said wryly as Starscream looked up sharply. "What?"
"All the sparklings have been helping themselves to Optimus's feeding tube," he explained causing Starscream and Optimus to look utterly horrified.
"What?!" They both barked in unison. One from the slight fear of those voracious creatures almost consuming him while unconscious and the other because the mech he hated dared to feed his precious creations.
"How dare you?!" Now hissed hatefully the elder seeker making the Magnus prepare himself to attack just as the spider. "First you frag Megatron and now this?!"
Optimus' indignant face was priceless. "I've haven't fragged him! And will never do so! That bastard lover of yours RAPED me if you'd forgotten! I don't want him near me or my son, so, do not misinterpret things! He forced himself in me, touched me without my consent, and even if I begged him to leave me alone, he continued abusing me!"
Optimus couldn't help it but roar it all out as even tears escaped his optics at the horrible memories of those dark days with the Decepticon leader as his toy; he was so happy with Elita that he finally let those things behind and changed pages... But with Starscream here demanding nonsense everything came back as a tidal wave.
The sparklings all looked at Optimus shocked; however only Slipstream and Valour could really understand, and the latter started shivering in sorrow as he unwillingly remembered he was the product of a rape... A forced and unwanted union.
"You say that now," Continued the seeker hissing just as hatefully ignoring the Prime's feelings. "But two nights ago when he caught you, you were not complaining as you stabbed your spike in him!" In the end he roared.
Optimus paled and everyone froze.
"Megatron is MINE! Only I can have him!" Declared the seeker before Blackarachnia transformed back into her bipedal form and grabbed his collarbone...
"And Optimus is MINE! Only I can have him! So, stop saying nonsense!" She now roared showing her pointy fangs menacingly to him making the seeker flinch. He'd never seen this femme so overprotective over something.
By now Optimus was shaking and crying, his optics, haunted as the files were now recovered... He was taken to Megatron in the woods... The fragger spread his legs for him and he-
"Oh Primus...!" He moaned in discomfort covering his mouth feeling nausea approaching, but his tanks were empty. He felt ill, horrible... Disgusting and so... Filthy! He couldn't help but roll on his side and shake and cry silently.
..he didn't know... Hadn't even expected for it to happen! How the frag it happened?!
"Daddy? Daddy, dun cry..." Valour tried hugging his creator as he too cried.
"Idiot!" Blackarachnia slapped the seeker on the face before hurrying where her lover was suffering. She may not like the idea of her Optimus doing it with other that was not her, even less Megatron, but she remembered how uncontrolled he was and how he ravished her after...
...he must have done the same to Megatron until that afthole fell unconscious and that is how he 'escaped' his captor remembering also how his spike was free, erect and lubricated!
She thought this was also it was that Lockdown's fault, he shouldn't have messed things up in the beginning! She will punish him later... She swore.
"Daddy..." Valour moaned in sorrow now openly crying. Starscream's creations squirmed in his arms trying to get to the sorrowful mech until he let them go.
Seeing this made the seeker think... Megatron said that Lockdown gave Optimus an experimental drug and that he spiked him; well, if he was used to spiking now that the spider was with him, it was no wonder he may want to spike the first thing that moved... There was no other way that Prime may even think about doing anything with Megatron.
Everyone was shocked at the revelations... Someone, and that someone was poor Optimus... Spiked the decepticon leader! An utterly dominant mech!
As his sparklings hugged and tried to make him feel better, Stascream pondered about this; he'd given Megatron everything and yet he only thought about what he couldn't have... He felt now really bad... Sparkbroken. It wasn't Optimus' fault, he even hated his fate and wished never cross paths with the slagger again, he wasn't rejoicing in his doings or how he made the warlord 'suffer' for his departure, he was just trying to move on after all that abuse HE suffered... And even his young creations understood that fast when it took him years to finally get it.
Feeling now that he was unwanted here, the elder seeker slowly walked away, back again to Perceptor's quarters, the only place he knew in this base. The scientist, following suit.
Once he reached the room, Starscream then rested his back against the wall before lowering himself onto the ground. His optics were also haunted now before he covered his face with his hands in guilt.
He'd been blaming the victim for the rapist's actions!
His wings lowered before they too shivered as he remembered... Remembered way too well how he'd passed through a similar case...
...how one beautiful member of his family was raped by another and how all the guilt was placed on her instead of the rapist because she 'provoked' him with her beauty. In the end she took her own life not baring anymore the pain and lack of support... His poor cousin... And the funny thing is that it was his sire who did it to her... A mech who liked to take what he wanted and was never punished for his crimes... A mech who also-
...he didn't wanted to think about it, he was dead, and must remain dead... But he couldn't forget what his own sire did to him... The same he did to his cousin, he did it to him! And he couldn't even say a word! Just wait until he finished until he finally moved on onto another victim...
His optics widened... Was that what Megatron wanted?! To use and abuse Optimus until he tires and then move on? Will he do that to him too?!
Everything pointed to that.
He'd moved on from his sire's abuse because the bastard moved on another and let him live, but he doubted Optimus can really move on with Megatron so obsessed with him... However he have a family and friends who supports him unconditionally. That may help, but also Megatron must give up on him.
Optimus is an Autobot, Megatron a Decepticon, for the Decepticons, rape was not bad, and if a bot was raped he must remain quiet or he will be seen as weak... Even if the whole act was bad. That is why he kept shut about what his sire did to him, for the Decepticons, he was just dominating him.
Starscream grimaced in disgust... For once feeling a little pang of pity for the little Prime.
"You've upset Optimus a lot," Perceptor commented on as he entered.
"I know," Starscream groaned, burying his face in his hands after glancing at the red Autobot. "I just...I just got so angry."
Perceptor cocked his head, considering the Seeker before him.
"You regret your words?" he questioned.
Starscream swallowed heavily before nodding. He wished he hadn't spoken like that to Optimus, especially not in front of his creations like that. Primus, what kind of a creator was he. The little dears had just been hungry so of course they latched onto the first carrier they found. The Prime had seemed just as shocked at that news as he had been.
"It might be wise to apologise later," Perceptor advised. "It would at least set a good example for your children."
He might not be a suitable creator but Perceptor did know about behaving in a certain way in front of young ones. The Seeker before him shook violently and he wasn't sure if that meant he was crying or not.
"How can I face him after that?" he questioned brokenly. "Your Magnus will probably throw me in his brig...if that overgrown spider doesn't slag me first."
"She won't be happy," Perceptor agreed. "But if you help protect her mate, she might forgive you."
"I've already done all I can," Starscream exclaimed in frustration. "Who the hell do you think told Magnus about Prime in the first place?"
As Perceptor stared at him, Starscream clapped his hands to his mouth in horror.
"I didn't mean that, forget I said it."
"Hmm, it makes a lot of sense," Perceptor mused. "We did wonder who might have betrayed Megatron like that."
Starscream flinched before groaning. "Primus, I'm so slagged when he finds out."
"He need not find out," the other stated. "But I believe it would go a long way to making up to Optimus if you revealed you saved him from Megatron. Undoubtedly, he would have had an easier time snatching Optimus and Valour if we had not arrived."
The Seeker knew this was right but still. Sleeping with an Autobot was bad enough but if Megatorn ever discovered his ultimate treachery...there was a very good chance nothing would be able to save him from a slow, lingering death.
He sniffed, that wasn't what he wanted at all, he'd just wanted Megatron to love him and their creations, forgetting about that Prime. But it seemed that was not meant to be.
...
"Don't cry daddy," Valour begged as he hugged his daddy while the other sparklings tried to offer comfort was well. The little Mechlings didn't understand what was going on but they could tell this older Mech was hurting a lot. "It's okay, don't cry."
"Shh, it's alright," his mate comforted. "You're not dirty."
"I...I spiked him," Optimus whispered brokenly. "How could I have done that?"
"It was that drug Lockdown gave you," she said fiercely, even more angry with the bounty hunter. "It made you lose control and of course that slagger Megatron was happy to go along with it."
"Carrier don mean it," Slipstream piped up tearfully. "Carrier love Sire...carrier no want Pwime hurt by Sire. Told me gotta keep Sire away from Pwime."
"Really?" Valour asked, he'd been hurt by Starscream's word.
"Weally," she said with a nod, snuggling close into Optimus's armour. "Carrier no bad...just wants Sire's love."
She said the last bit sadly, would her Sire ever be the Mech she wanted him to be?
Somehow she doubted it even if her spark desperately tried to latch on hope.
"Drink this, love." Tried Elita passing him a cube. "It will relax you."
Optimus however continued shaking and crying and somehow, even when he hated his son seeing him like that, he couldn't help it.
"Drink it, Optimus." Once again tried his mate but even if he was drained from his energon thanks to the seekerlets, he felt no hunger, a knot was tied in his throat.
The spider femme sighed then kissed his cheek before addressing the sparklings. "Kids, let's leave Optimus alone now, I think we're disturbing him, soon he will calm, drink his energon and then recharge again."
"Is... When will he play with us again?" Asked Valour.
"I don't know, sweetspark, I hope soon," She said this caressing his face. "Now, let's go, to see the crystal gardens."
The elder mechling nodded and Slipstream motioned her brothers to follow. Elita transformed back into her spider form and took them out after diming the lights a little to make Optimus comfortable, then left.
Alone, in his darkened room Optimus cried, he felt just so filthy with himself, that no matter how much he bathes nothing will clean him.
He already passed through that after he escaped Megatron... And now again!
The Prime just remained there in foetal position feeling even more miserable by the second.
...
Elita One... Now known as Blackarachnia was furious... Enraged actually.
She let the sparklings with Bumblebee and the Twins before going towards her ship and take some cubes, then crawled in spider form towards Ratchet's lab and started working on what she knew the best now... Creating venoms.
Transforming herself into a bipedal femme she mixed the ingredients quickly as furious as she was, then, it was done.
The femme looked at the transparent glass that contained a blue liquid, then took one of her stingers and made it absorb the full content of it...
...she growled dangerously.
This time, this time she will make that bastard hunter to wish to never have crossed paths with them... Or ever accept any offer Megatron made.
Transforming back into a spider, she crawled onto the ceilings towards the brig. Decision written all over her eight optics.
When in her path she saw that green minibot, Wasp she believed is his name, he was also cocooned and in forced stasis until the Magnus came to interrogate him.
The mech seemed unstable and the time he spent in the Stockades obviously worked down his processor in a level of madness; so, after finding out that Optimus was not with the team, she ran towards the woods before finding him battling with Bumblebee, she jumped him and paralyzed him before demanding Optimus' location...
...the mech obviously didn't know what she was talking about and she stung him again leaving him unconscious before hurrying again towards the woods looking for any signal of Optimus and Lockdown...
And of course she found the hunter almost boarding his ship, she did the same she did to Wasp to him to Lockdown's surprise; she was terrified and livid in rage...so it was not a pleasing experience for him...
But anyways... Here she was... And there is Lockdown... She smirked, turned off the barrier and crawled towards his tight cocoon.
"Sweet dreams... Afthole..." Blackarachnia hissed before biting him hard, emptying her venom in his main vein.
The mech stiffened and shook, seconds later his face was morphing into a pained one before he started gasping and sobbing.
The venom she gave him will make real his worst nightmares as he slept.
Blackarachnia chuckled evilly watching the other suffer in dreams.
When he awakes, he will be so traumatized that he will be an open book.
"N-no... Nooo! Take...take them out! Help! Help me!" He cried almost breathless at his nightmares. He was obviously dreaming of Elita's sparklings eating him alive... And possibly hatching.
She rejoiced herself in his suffering and watched him squirm before laughing madly filling the entire brig with a creepy echo.
Her formula was a success!
Also... No one messes up with her mate... NO ONE!
Her next target:
Megatron.
...
Meanwhile Starscream paced in front of Optimus' quarters as he thought how to apologize to the suffering mech.
He had to swallow literally his pride and speak to him... But how?!
"Just do it!" He told himself before opening the door.
The room had the lights dimmed and in the berth was lying the suffering Optimus. He hadn't even asked him what he and his creations were doing there... However allowed them to stay, because yes, this was his base.
The seeker walked towards the berth and sat on one edge before noticing the still filled cube. He sighed. Optimus must feel really bad now to not even refuel.
Starscream then reached for him and softly caressed his head. "I'm sorry..." He murmured. "I'm sorry... Optimus... I didn't meant to be an afthole... Is just that... Meg-" He decided to not speak that name as the bot beneath his caressing hand flinched. "I was so upset by him desiring you... And just used me to vent his lust... I'm... I'm disappointed with myself too... I love him but he doesn't even gives a slag! Even after nine sparklings..."
He sighed and made a pause. "What happened... Was not your fault... It never was... I know how you feel... Believe me, I do... Is just that... I can be an idiot sometimes and forget it..."
Optimus heard everything as he gave the other his back and gulped. Starscream then continued.
"I'm sorry... But... Is the stupid Decepticon way... Its wrong... But since he's the leader, he sees it convenient for himself!"
Looking down, he said. "I doubt anyone has ever dominated Megatron, he's always been large and strong. I suppose that's one reason why I'm attracted to him, because he can protect me and slag any of tried to take me. I'd submit willingly to him if he'd only stay with me."
Optimus didn't say anything as Starscream continued.
"I've read our history, it didn't used to be like this...where you could rape someone and no one thought it was wrong. Decepticons have always valued strength and dominance but once upon a time, it was more about ritual. If a strong bot saw someone they liked, they had to prove themselves a worthy mate in return for the other submitting themselves. That meant showing they could defend their mate and sparklings, provide for them, that sort of thing. The final proof was often how well they did in the berth but it was meant to be passionate love making, not forcible interface."
Still lightly caressing Optimus's head, he said sadly. "But those customs became corrupted and I suppose our war with the Autobots didn't help much. I'm sure you know that being of a different faction does not prevent a bot from feeling love or lust towards another. This all evolved into a situation where it's seen as acceptable for Decepticons to kidnap and rape Autobots they desire, force them to be theirs. But...it can happen to Decepticons as well..."
"Someone...hurt you?" Optimus asked in a hoarse voice, speaking for the first time.
"Yes," Starscream said simply. "It wasn't Megatron, not in that way at least. He doesn't know about it, I've always tried to hide it and forget. I've never been a dominant Mech..."
He gave himself a little shake before saying. "The one who did it is dead, they can't hurt me again. So I guess I'm 'safe' unlike you. But one thing we have in common is our beautiful sparklings..."
He smiled slightly as he said. "I can sense that spiderbot is expecting, you must be excited."
"I am," Optimus agreed. "We're expecting several, they will have techno-organic parts to them."
The Seeker just nodded. Optimus now said softly. "I didn't realise your creations were feeding from me, I was...sleeping off that drug."
"I overreacted," Starscream mumbled. "I want Me...him to be my mate and when he told me how much he enjoyed his...encounter with you...after I'd given him a night of bliss, I was just so angry."
"I can appreciate that," Optimus said, turning around slightly as Starscream offered him the cube of Energon.
"Drink this," the Seeker commanded and Optimus actually obeyed.
"You know," Starscream mused. "You don't just have a beautiful son, you've also got a...well, very protective mate. I think ironically she encompasses what Decepticon warriors once were, bots who protected those in their family against any who would harm them."
He sighed, saying. "I almost fear for Megatron, I imagine she will get her revenge. What will my children do without their Sire?"
"You think she'll kill him?" Optimus exclaimed, he honestly hadn't thought of that.
"Maybe not kill...just horribly maim," Starscream said with a shrug. "I hope she at least kicks his aft, he needs it."
Optimus chuckled at this, he couldn't help it. There had been plenty of times when he'd wanted to do something of that sort to his captor. Starscream smiled, glad the Prime seemed to be doing better.
"So...how did you end up here?" Optimus asked curiously.
"I fragged that red scientist, Perceptor," Starscream said flatly.
Optimus spluttered his energon before coughing. "W-what?!"
"Yeah, I was so angry after Megatron's words that I went for a flight... My radars picked him and I went to see... Then we were making it until he offered me his quarters. I thought that my creations could handle themselves with their sire... However haven't expected them to find me two days later... And in that position with that almost drone," The seeker chuckled in the end.
"But... But Perceptor... He's-"
"Like a drone?" Interupted him Starscream. "Yeah... But you know what? I was able to find something else inside him... And I don't mean his ceiling node..."
Optimus listened with rapt attention not knowing what to think.
"He can be really passionate... And it was just what I was needing. If I left him now I don't think he'd care, and that's the best."
The Prime drink his energon looking at the seeker in worry before asking: "..and... You fragged him for two days and nights? And he said nothing about it?"
Starscream just shrugged. "Nah! Maybe he was just in need of a good frag; only Primus knows when was the last time someone fragged him or he overloaded?"
Optimus decided to keep quiet at that; it was not his business to speak about Perceptor's life. He just hoped the scientist was not up to one of his experiments with this seeker as he once was with his own twins.
...
The next day Perceptor was walking towards the medbay to check if his plan had borne fruit; Starscream spent the night with Optimus and Elita and it seemed they had like a 'pyjama party' as Valour called it and they talked all night, so, he was left all alone to process the transfluid that was deposited and stored in him.
Happily he scanned himself when found no one there and gasped in surprise before feeling... Incredibly satisfied.
He did it!
Walking away from the medbay now he wondered if it would be a good idea to face the seeker and risk him knowing he was carrying his child... And also risking of losing it in many different and horrible ways.
He had no symptoms yet, however in a month or two he may, so he must also plan a schedule on what to do.
However he was not expecting to find in his path the mech he was considering evade along with the spider and her mate.
Him and Starscream looked at each other for a while before he saluted him. "Excuse me..."
...but the seeker stopped him by grabbing him by his arm and looked at him better as if...
"Oh Primus... Are you...you...?!" Tried Starscream in mild horror before covering his mouth.
"Yes," Was all the answer Perceptor gave him simply.
"Megatron's gonna kill me now!" Cried the flier holding his head as Optimus and Elita looked at each other in worry.
"Perceptor...did you plan this?" Elita asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yes," he said blandly, causing the couple to groan. Oh Primus, if that didn't make things really complicated.
Optimus could easily understand why Starscream was upset, the Seeker had only wanted to get a little revenge on Megatron, not do this. And he doubted that Megatron would be terribly understanding once he found out.
"It's not that bad," Perceptor stated. "I'm sure we've created a very intelligent sparkling together."
Throwing his hands out in disbelief, Starscream demanded. "How can you be so slagging calm about this?"
"It's not the first time this has happened," Perceptor said causally as the other stared at him. "I've carried Decepticons sparklings before, those twins you may have seen earlier are mine."
The Seeker gaped at him before exclaiming. "Do you make a habit of getting Cons to sleep with you?"
"No, this is only the second time," Perceptor assured him. "The first time I didn't have much choice in the matter."
He spoke as though all his twin's Sire had done was give him a dirty look, as opposed to raping him.
"You really are drone like," Starscream whispered. It was one thing to love your creations no matter how they were conceived, it was entirely another thing to speak of it as though it were only a mild inconvenience if that.
"I merely saw a potential opportunity and took it," Perceptor said earnestly. "I have learned so much from studying the twin's code and documenting their progress."
"Is that what you plan to do with our sparkling?" Starscream exclaimed in outrage. "I will not allow any child of mine to be treated as a science experiment, they will grow up with their brothers and sister like any normal sparkling."
"I did not think that was feasible unless you are planning to stay here," Perceptor stated as Starscream's optics widened and he cried again. "Oh Primus no, no, no..."
Optimus laid a comforting hand on Starscream's shoulder, he really was in a bit of a pickle. He gave Perceptor a very reproachful look, he should not have done this. Yes, Starscream had gone looking for a frag but the small red Autobot had taken complete advantage of him. All to create the perfect sparkling it seemed.
"Perceptor," scolded Elita. "Have you any idea how Megatron is going to react? He will be furious when he learns you are carrying his lover's sparkling."
"You are carrying Optimus's sparkling," he pointed out.
"Yes but I am more than capable of defending myself," she declared. "Optimus has made it clear he is not with Megatron but Starscream still is and I believe, wants to remain with him."
Starscream nodded miserably. Perceptor considered it before suggesting.
"If you wish, you could tell Megatron you wished to dominate me against my will. That might satisfy him."
Starscream's optics almost popped out of his head as he shrieked. "I refuse to tell him I raped you, it was not rape!"
"It was merely a suggestion, I was not suggesting...," began Perceptor as a voice demanded.
"What is going on here?"
They all turned to see Ultra Magnus standing there with a frown, one of Starscream's sparklings hanging off his arm. Said sparkling had a fist stuffed into his mouth and was looking curiously at them. Optimus wondered if the jet twins had once hung off the large Magnus's form, perhaps that's why he was tolerating it.
"Ramjet, down," Starscream automatically scolded as the sparkling muffledly chirped at him.
"Perceptor is carrying," Elita informed the larger mech who stared before sighing heavily.
"Primus," he muttered. "Aren't there enough sparklings in this base already?"
"Well, there will be more," she said with a smile, patting her abdomen.
Starscream plucked his offspring off the Magnus before demanding. "Has Megatron called? Is he looking for us?"
"No, he has not," Answered the Magnus while looking sternly at his scientist.
He thought that after the talk he and Elita had with him that Perceptor would reconsider the sparkling thing; apparently he hasn't and continued his path without even caring how Starscream or Megatron would feel...
...especially Megatron who might send assassins to kill him and the sparkling!
And speaking about the red scientist... "Perceptor, I thought you understood," Ultra Magnus continued ignoring Starscream's haunted look of why was Megatron not asking for them.
"I did, sir, is just that I can sense this sparkling will be... Perfect; we both, Starscream and I possess the best code which will be mixed into our creation. I had to do it, Magnus."
Elita facepalmed herself and Optimus rolled his optics before shaking his head before noticing Starscream hugging his son with a haunted expression.
"Starscream?" He tried gently placing a hand on his shoulder as the Magnus scolded Perceptor.
"Why hasn't Megatron called yet for me? Doesn't he even cares about his family?" He whispered at the border of tears.
"Maybe not," Answered the spider femme making Optimus frown at her. "But he did call for you once, but then no one knew where you were and we had no idea that you were busy with that perv."
"Perv?" Tried the seeker.
"Yeah, the one with intentions of fragging you just to get impregnated... Because, who else does it thinks about reproduction when interfacing?" She explained matter-of-factly.
It was then when the seeker's optics widened in realization at something else... Remembering how Perceptor always chosen to be in the bottom and never ride him... And after the overloads demanding him to remain in him to plug his valve so no transfluid may escape!
And here he thought it was fun to remain inside the other bot... It had a purpose all the time!
He was used!
His anger however soon vanished as he thought it was fun nonetheless and he quickly shrugged it before walking towards the arguing Magnus and Perceptor.
"Megatron doesn't needs to know... However... My son will not be used as an experiment!" He declared making the two to quiet. "We need to talk about this calmly... I want to be part of my new son's life."
"A son?" Asked the Magnus.
"Yes, a son; there is a high probability that we produce one since we're mechs, so I believe is one," Explained the seeker as Ramjet squirmed in his grasp.
"And without doubt will be interesting to test his intelligence, he will be much more advanced than his siblings, that I'm sure," Added Perceptor making Starscream growl in annoyance.
Even when Megatron's lack of calls or interest towards him and their creations hurt him and made his spark ache, Starscream couldn't help to feel happy about this new sparkling... Also because he knew that Perceptor was right... This one will be perfect even with mixed codes.
"My sons are not stupid," he told them, remembering how Megatron had acted towards them. "They are perfectly normal sparklings who will grow up to be extraordinary warriors. It's just that their sister is very advanced for her age."
"Of course," Optimus stated quickly, he could tell this was a sore point with Starscream. "Your sons remind me of Valour when he was their age, always curious and wanting cuddles. They're very cute at that age."
Starscream smiled gratefully at him, at least this bot got it. He was very proud of his daughter but did not want anyone suggesting that his sons were stupid by comparison. Just because they weren't as advanced as their elder sibling didn't mean that none of them would excel academically. After all, he was pretty sure he had not been like Slipstream when he'd been her age but look at him now.
"Yes they are," he agreed as Ramjet started to search for his feeding tube.
Starscream took it out and gave it to him, allowing his son to feed happily.
"One thing Megatron was good at," he mused sadly. "He was good at feeding them."
It was a casual comment but for a moment, Optimus pondered that. Would Megatron have fed Valour if he hadn't found a way to escape? How much time would he have devoted to their little son? He'd never know the answer to that but he couldn't stop thinking about it.
But perhaps a more urgent question was how Megatron would react when he discovered where his children were.
...
"Skywarp!" called Valour as he searched for his little brother. Having so many little play mates with him once more was great, especially as they were his younger siblings but they could be a lot of work. It seemed impossible to keep track of them all, there was at least one who would be wandering off at any given time. Right now, he was trying to track down Skywarp while the others watched a children's movie.
He heard a distant chirp and ran in the direction of the sound, entering the communication room only to find Skywarp crawling all over the control panel and happily pressing buttons.
"Skywarp!" he gasped. "That's very naughty, get down."
Skywarp ignored him, he planted his little aft down and began to bash the controls instead. Clearly, he was having a lot of fun but Valour had to get him down.
"Warp," he scolded as he ran over and prepared to climb up and bring his brother down.
However, Skywarp hit a new button and the screen flashed before switching it's self on. Valour was barely paying attention, he thought he could fix it once his brother was safely on the floor so he didn't realise a call was being set out. And just as he was pulling himself up...
"So you've decided to call me Magnus," a voice growled. "You'd better...Skywarp?"
"Sire," gasped Valour in horror as the surprised red optics found his.
"Valour?" Megatron said in confusion as Skywarp gave him a wave. "What is going on?"
"Skywarp called by accident," Valour said quietly, climbing up properly and heading to his brother.
Megatron's face darkened and he demanded. "Are the rest of your siblings there? I've been searching all day for them? What about Starscream?"
"I dunno," Valour mumbled awkwardly as his Sire gave him a stern look.
"Valour," he began. "You will tell me whether or not your brothers and sister are safe."
"Okay, they're safe," Valour exclaimed heatedly. "But they're not going back, you were bad to daddy again."
"Bad?" Megatron said in confusion. "I was not bad, I did not cause him any pain and he seemed to enjoy himself..."
"He was drugged," Valour yelled at him as Skywarp whimpered at the volume. "He cried when he found out what happened, he didn't know what he was doing. And you would have hurt him if he hadn't gotten away."
"I...," Megatron began before sighing heavily. He'd had a stressful day trying to find out where Starscream and then his other children had disappeared to. Somehow, he did not have the energy to argue with his eldest.
"Valour," he began again. "What am I supposed to do? I want to be with your carrier and I want you to be with me. But your carrier and that slagging Magnus refuse to allow me anywhere near. You are my son and I have a right to you."
"He doesn't love you," Valour declared. "But Starscream does and he wants to be your mate, why can't you love him and leave daddy alone?"
"Because I...wait, Starscream is there?"
"No!" Quickly answered Valour. "Slipstream said Starscream loves you but you don't love him back and that made her carrier sad... I don't know where he is," He lied and his sire frowned, used to being lied often. "But wherever he is he must be sad and crying because of how you don't love him back and only want to frag my dad!"
"Fraaag!" Skywarp repeated eagerly to his sire's horror.
"Valour!" The warlord scolded. "Look what you did! You taught your brother a bad word!"
"Do not change the subject! Starscream left because he's sad... He must be around somewhere crying your... Lack of love."
Megatron's frown deepened before taking a deep vent.
"Valour," He started. "This is an adult thing so I don't think you can understand... I do like Starscream, he's a good soldier and lover, but I also want your carrier, is not my problem that that seeker cannot bear seeing me desire another mech. I'm a powerful mech, the Decepticon leader, I can have as many lovers as I please and the fact that Starscream has given me so many offsprings doesn't means I will want to tie myself with him only... I will always desire others beside him."
Valour grimaced and shook his head before saying: "Then you don't know what love is... You will never love anyone because you can't..."
"Love is a foolish and weak feeling!" Interrupted him his sire banging his fist against his console.
Once again his eldest creation shook his head. "No, its not... It makes you stronger, more than you believe... Poor Starscream... You will never love him, nor my dad if he had ever given you a chance."
"I don't need to love someone just to have them, I'm the Decepticon leader so that means I can have whoever I want!"
"...no, you can't..." Whispered Valour after a few seconds with his head down before lifting up his gaze again towards the screen. "You will never change, do you?"
Megatron scowled. Just what kind of scrap was filled his son with?!
"You don't deserve anyone's love... You will just tire instead of looking for them as it must be... Don't you get it?! Being leader doesn't means people loves you! But your mate, the one you chose will... Even if you stop being leader they will look after you forever..."
The dDcepticon leader was growing tired with this speech of nonsense by his eldest creation, so, instead he turned to Skywarp and said:
"Skywarp, is carrier there?"
Valour's optics widened. That's cheating!
By then the little seekerlet had his thumb in his mouth before answering: "Fraaaaaag!" but not what his sire asked luckily for Valour.
However Megatron knew better and cut the call without even saying goodbye to his sons. He lifted up from his chair before grunting in annoyance... His valve clenched and he desperately needed a good frag!
But his seeker cheated on him, he left with the Autobots and took their sparklings with him; in the end he followed that little Prime's path even if he stated that he will never leave his side... He lied one last time, this time he will kill him!
No one cheats on Lord Megatron!
