chapter 3 Side swipe the miracle child
Side swipe was getting looked at by Red alert after the cons attacked him. "I'm okay it's just a little sore in wire from the needle the they stuck me with." Side swipe said.
"But why would they want Side swipe's energon?" Smokescreen asked.
"I don't know but there has to be a reason for it." Optimus said.
"Yes, but who knows the reason for it." Scavenger said.
Blurr was out for a drive. Starscream appeared in front of him.
"What do you want?" Blurr asked.
"Give this to Side swipe it's from Megatron." Starscream said tossing it to Blurr.
Blurr caught the envelop. Before Blurr could ask why Starscream had left. "Okay I better give this to the kid." he said.
When Blurr had returned the others were wondering why he was holing an envelop. "Where's Side swipe?" Blurr asked.
"He's training with Hot shot." Scavenger said.
"Where are they training?" Blurr asked.
"Why do you want to know?" Jetfire asked.
Blurr explained what had happened. "So that thing is a message for Side swipe from Megatron?" Smokescreen asked.
"Yes it is." Blurr said.
"I don't think you should give it to him." Jetfire said.
"It might have the answers we're looking from Side swipe's unusual dream." Optimus said.
"Okay we better give it to the kid." Scavenger said.
Red alert was in the middle of research he was looking for Side swipe's mother's medical records and her personal profile. He was looking through several profiles in the data base.
"I hope I can find it and settle this problem." Red alert said to himself.
Blurr and the other Autobots came into the training room and saw Side swipe and Hot shot were sparring for practice. "Hey guys." Hot shot said.
"Kid this message is for you apparently it's from Megatron." Blurr said.
"Oh dear." Side swipe said.
"It probably has to do with what happened earlier." Hot shot said.
Side swipe opened it. He looked at the message. "No, it can't be true!" Side swipe said and he dropped the message and ran off.
"He looked really upset." Jetfire said.
Hot shot picked up the message and looked at it. "Hey guys I think we should show this to Red alert." Hot shot said. In the envelop was also a vile of Megatron's energon.
Red alert was still in the middle of research he had found the file he was looking for. Hot shot came into the medical bay with the other Autobots. "What's going on?" Red alert asked.
"I think you should see this." Hot shot said. He gave Red alert the letter.
"How can this prove anything?" Red alert asked.
"This was also in there. there is note on it say do CNA test with it so Megatron can prove he's telling truth." Hot shot said.
"Okay but we need Side swipe for that." Red alert said.
"We better go find him." Jetfire said.
Hot shot found Side swipe hiding in the closet. "Come on Side swipe we need to get you to Red alert o he can do a CNA test." Hot shot said.
Side swipe nodded his head and followed Hot shot.
Once in the medical bay Red alert drew some energon from Side swipe. "Okay time to run a CNA test." Red alert said.
Red alert set up the computer for the CNA test. "Shouldn't you pull up my mother's CNA report?" Side swipe asked.
"Yes I should," Red alert said. He pull up the medical records and there was picture of a femme named Quickstreak.
"Is that your mother?" Hot shot asked.
"Sure is," Side swipe said.
Red alert started the test it began to load.
"What if it is true I don't want to be kicked out of here or be locked in the brig like some criminal." Side swipe said.
"That won't happen Side swipe, you are part of our team and we won't do anything to bring you harm even if you are half Decepticon." Optimus said.
"Okay," Side swipe said.
The other Autobot assured him of that. They wondered if was true how much of Megatron would he have in him? Would he be more like his mother or father?
The computer beeped it had the results. "It's true." Red alert said.
"I don't believe it." Side swipe said.
"I'm sorry Side swipe but the CNA matches so there is no denying it." Red alert said.
Red alert continued to look at the medical profile of Side swipe's mother. "How can this be, Side swipe's mother is suppose to be infertile due an abnormality hard to happen but not impossible. So why did it happen?" Red alert said.
He managed to hack into the Decepticon files. He pulled up Megatron's medical records and profile. "What?!" Red alert shouted.
"What's wrong?" Smokescreen asked.
"Megatron is suppose to be infertile too," Red alert said.
"If both my parents were infertile I shouldn't have been born," Side swipe said.
"Yes apparently Side swipe's birth from two infertile parents is nothing short of a miracle." Red alert said.
"I wonder why my mother never told me." Side swipe said.
"She was probably trying to protect you." Red alert said.
Side swipe didn't know what to think so he sat at the side of a lake to think.
Megatron used a satellite the humans use to find him. "Got to talk to him." Megatron said. Megatron had spent so long searching for Quickstreak. He was wondering why she never told him about Side swipe. He just had to talk to his son.
Side swipe watched as a duck flew away from the lake. Then Megatron appeared. "What do you want?" Side swipe asked.
"I just want to talk." Megatron said.
"Why so you can kill me?' Side swipe asked. "That's probably why mom never told me." he said.
"She never told me either I spent some much time looking for her after that night the two of spent together. I would have taken her to be with me if I knew about you. Before I grew up into the mech you see before you I wanted to be a father more than anything but I learned I probably couldn't become one. But now that I know I have you I want to know you." Megatron said.
"I see," Side swipe said.
"I know your birth was nothing short of a miracle. But after seeing how much the Autobots care about you taking you away just would feel right. I know you are safe with them. That's probably why your mother never told me. Other cons could have hurt you. It's also why she didn't tell you so you wouldn't be rejected by the Autobots. I do want you with me, but I heard a father is suppose to protect his child not put him in danger. So stay with the Autobots I just want what's bet for you." Megatron said.
"But what about you wouldn't the other cons try to take me and bring me to you?" Side swipe asked.
"I know they might try but still I only want what is best for you if the other's knew that you were half Autobot and half Decepticon you would be in danger from both sides. I just want to keep you safe." Megatron said.
"My friends have accepted me for what I am." Side swipe said.
"True because they care about for who you are the inside not what you are, to bad not all transformers are like that. So stay with your friends they will protect you. I'm only telling this because I care," Megatron said.
"But, what should I do if someone does attack me for what I am?" Side swipe asked.
"I think the Autobot in you will make sure you have enough faith in your friends. While the Decepticon in you might guide your fighting instinct. I must go now, farewell my miracle child." Megatron said then warped away.
Side swipe was shocked he didn't know what to say.
At the moon base Megatron sat on his bed. He meant every word he said to Side swipe. He just hoped his newly found son wouldn't be killed or rejected.
Side swipe made it back to the base.
The other's asked him what took him so long. Side swipe told them what had happened. "I don't know if he was trying to get on my good side by lying or being completely honest. So I don't know what to think." Side swipe said.
"Just be cautious about it for now okay until we can use a lie detector on him." Red alert said.
The others agreed.
That night the Autobots went to bed.
Side swipe went to sleep and dreamed about his childhood.
Meanwhile at the moon base Megatron and the other Decepticons were getting some rest.
Megatron found himself dreaming about Quickstreak he saw her go through her pregnancy with Side swipe. Then saw her give birth to him. He saw his child grow up before his optics in his dream. He just wished he had been there.
To be continued.
