Starscream huffed as he struggled to spark. He had gone into labor about an hour ago. Soundwave had reported shortly before then that they were now going to revive Megatron. Another painful contraction ripped the seeker from his thoughts. Starscream knew that he was almost finished. The first two had been stillborn, much to the seeker's dismay.
Number three and four slipped out quickly, crying softly for their carrier. Starscream knew he was almost done. He pushed for another twenty minutes before another came out. The contractions ceased meaning that he was finished. Starscream gathered up the three sparklings that had lived, hushing them and sending them love through the bond as he tried to warm them up. He placed them inside some sacs near the other ones he had previously sparked.
The two that hadn't made it still laid on the ground. Starscream scooped them up, his voice keening as he began crying. He looked at their silver bodies. Both of them were little femmes. The seeker prince mourned over them before heading outside. He went inside of a shrine of sorts. The two femmes were placed next to each other with the other ones that had not survived.
"Primus why?" Starscream asked. He heard the sounds of approaching engines. "Megatron."
The seeker went outside, watching as Megatron transformed and landed on the planet. Both smiled at each other before embracing. Megatron noticed the tear trails and wiped them away. The prince burst into tears in happiness. His mate was truly alive and with him once more.
"Starscream, what happened? Why are you crying?" Megatron asked.
"I have missed you deeply," said Starscream, snuggling into the silver chest. "And the Fallen has been forcing me to carry the entire time you were gone. I had just buried two more. The sparklings keep dying with how low on Energon we are."
"The Fallen is a sick mech. He will pay for doing such a thing to you," Megatron snarled. His arms tightened around Starscream. "We will find a way to ensure that the sparklings live."
Megatron headed to his master, bowing in respect. He kept his anger hidden. The Fallen's time was coming to an end.
"My master, I have returned," said Megatron.
"Ah my disciple," the Fallen said, shifting within his seat. "I have a new task for you. We must obtain the Allspark to find a new Energon source for my children."
"The Allspark was destroyed," Starscream pointed out.
"Nonsense. It cannot be destroyed, only transformed," the Fallen rasped. "The human child is the vessel. We must retrieve the data within him."
"Optimus Prime will be guarding the human boy," said Megatron.
"Then capture the Prime," the Fallen said, glaring up at his minion. "I will use him for my own pleasure. Only a Prime can defeat me but once I have him in my grasp then he will fall to my might."
"What will you use him for?" Starscream timidly asked, sparing a glance to his mate.
"He will take over your job and breed an army," the ancient mech answered.
Megatron hid his alarm. His brother used as a breeder? No. He would never allow such a thing to happen. He would rather his brother dead then become a subject of such a horrible fate. His sire already tried to do just that and failed. Megatron may of been half Prime, but he can still kill the Fallen. And he would do so when he got the chance for using his mate as a breeder to grow the swindling army.

Ironhide groaned in boredom. He could deliver any day and he wanted it to be over. His back was hurting along with his pedes. The alarms went off, alerting the weapons' specialist. He got up and to the main room, wondering if there were news of his bondmate. The larger Autobot had left to go speak with Sam about the stolen Allspark shard.
"What's going on?" Ironhide asked.
"Optimus has requested us to go and back him up. Bumblebee had just reported that there was one going after Sam as a human," said Ratchet.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Ironhide asked.
"Are you sure you should go with?" Red Alert asked. "You are close and something could go wrong if there is a battle."
"If I can still shoot then I can still go," Ironhide snipped.

Optimus struggled against Starscream, kicking the seeker back. Megatron grabbed onto his brother, pulling him close into a headlock. Optimus managed to sweep Megatron off his pedes, punching the Decepticon leader away. Grindor tried to use his blades only for Optimus to cut it off. When no more attacks came, Optimus looked for his temporary charge.
"Sam, where are you?" Optimus asked frantically. He cried out in pain, grabbing onto the blade-gun. "B-brother? Why?"
"I'm so sorry Optimus. I truly am. The Fallen plans to use you as a breeder like he did with my dear Starscream. I cannot let that happen," Megatron said, twisting the blade to make the death faster. "Please forgive me. I'm doing this to protect you. I would rather you dead than face something so horrid."
Megatron fire his gun, hoping that it would be a quick death for his brother. What he said was the truth though. He can easily lie to his master about what happened. The ancient Prime would feel that Optimus was dead. Megatron freed his gun, letting Optimus fall. The leader groaned, his spark fading quickly away. Sam had ran off a while ago, trying to get to cover.
Bullets whizzed by and Megatron ducked to avoid being hit. The silver mech grabbed Starscream before retreating just as the other Autobots appeared. The two lingered nearby in the air, silently watching.
"Optimus!"
Ironhide jogged up to his bondmate, cannons folding back into his arms. Shaky servos gathered the limp leader so his helm cradled in the mech's lap. Dim blue optics stared sightless up at the sky above.
"Optimus?" Ironhide asked, shuddering at the sight of the wound.
"'Hide..." Optimus gasped out, gaze shifting slightly. "Ironhide..."
The light died in the leader's optics. Ironhide knew then it was over. Sharp agony ripped through his spark as the bond broke. The black mech ignored the other members, only concentrating on the frame he was now hugging closely.

"What do we do now?" Starscream asked, watching the spark mech mourn.
"I don't know. The Fallen will demand what had happened," said Megatron. "I couldn't let my brother suffer what you had. When I get the chance, The Fallen will be killed by my servo for doing what he had to you."
