The story will only be 5 chapters long seeing is that how long the read story of A Christmas Carol is. Again a disclaimer I do not own any Transformer characters, only Optigana.

Well please enjoy reading this chapter and everyone have a very Merry Christmas!

Chapter 2

The First of the Three Spirits

Megatron woke suddenly and looked around. The room was pitch black. He chuckled a bit and muttered, "It was only a dream." He rolled over and went back to sleep but no sooner did the clock start dinging for one 'o' clock.

"Ding dong!"

"A quarter past," Megatron muttered.

"Ding dong!"

"Half past!"

"Ding Dong!"

"A quarter to it." Megatron counted again.

"Ding Dong!"

"An hour itself and nothing else!" Megatron was please with his counting, but no longer sooner did a bright blinding light enter the room. Megatron jumped out of his bed and looked around. It took his optics a little time to adjust to the blinding light, but soon he saw an old transformer standing in front of a warp gate. "Are you the spirit that was foretold to me?"

"I am," the transformer replied. The transformer's voice was of one who had seen many years and gained much wisdom from it. The spirit instead of being right next to him stood far away.

Megatron slowly got up and asked, "Who and what are you?"

"I am the Ghost of Christmas past." The spirit replied.

"Long past?" Megatron asked in confusion. There was no way he wanted to see the many victories the Autobots had gained from his blindness in the past. He would go mad, he finally reached his goal and now because of it if he dies he'd be doomed to walk Cybertron for eternity. That's not what he wanted, but he wanted to keep Cybertron to himself.

"No. Your past."

The spirit walked towards him and when Megatron finally a good look at him he whispered, "Vector Prime." Vector Prime just looked at him with no emotion. Of course he should have known it would have been Vector Prime, Vector Prime was the keeper of time and place continuum.

"Come, Megatron, we have much to see in so little time I have."

"How? Only a warp gate takes to a different place, but not a different time. Seriously Vector Prime, you're really lost your marbles." Megatron grumbled.

Vector Prime suddenly pulled out his sword on Megatron and yelled, "We spirits do not have to make you change! You can live the way you are living and when you die you can bare the heavy Burdon of your chains!" Vector Prime was about to turn away when Megatron stopped him.

"I'm sorry wise spirit! Please forgive me." Megatron got on his knees to

"Come we take heed." Vector Prime exclaimed.

"Me go through a time portal? How do I know I won't get lost within it and just become one of the past?" Megatron asked, fear dwelling within him. The last thing he wanted was to be stuck within someone else's past.

"Take hold of my hand and you will not get lost." Megatron slowly took the spirit's hand and walked through the portal. What Megatron saw was something he had never seen before. All the colors around him, sounds coming from every which way. Then finally a burst of white light blinded him. When he looked around he saw Cybertron the way it used to be before the Decepticons and the Autobots started having the war.

"By Primus," he whispered.

"You know this place?" the spirit asked.

"Know it? I was bred here!" he exclaimed.

He watched as all the Autobots and Decepticons ran together to the classroom. He couldn't believe he had forgotten this all this time. Suddenly the spirit asked, "Why is your lip trembling, and what is that running down your cheek?"

Megatron quickly wiped away the tear and focused, "Nothing, nothing at all." He resumed to his mad self, but it didn't last long when they entered the room. There was Optimus Prime! He had forgotten how he and Optimus were once good friends. He smiled, but then he saw himself beating up on the other Autobots.

He quickly looked away and then heard Optimus speak. He was so shocked how much it had changed in the past. He had a high pitched voice, but so did he. That was when he had started hating Optimus. Optimus would always stand up for the other Autobots. He then knew why Optimus did it…he didn't want anyone hurt. He was so naïve at the time and couldn't see the future.

Soon after all the other sparkling transformers left Megatron stayed behind and stayed inside. He wanted to study up on war. Vector Prime saw a Megatron went over to look at what his younger self was reading. "This was where I wanted to start dominating the world."

Vector Prime stood next to Megatron and said, "Let's go to another Christmas shall we?"

Megatron watched all at once as time quickened and there he was an older, much wiser Decepticon. Suddenly all of a suddenly the door flew open and in came Thunderblast Megatron's younger sister. Megatron's spark stopped when he saw her again. "Megatron you must come home!"

"Should I? After what father has done to us?" Megatron snapped.

"Father has really changed Megatron…he has given me a hug and a kiss…he wants you home for the holidays!" Thunderblast exclaimed.

Megatron looked at his younger sister and asked, "Is this the same father who tried to kill me?"

"Megatron….you must come with me please. He wants to see you." Suddenly a transformer came into the room holding a box. Thunderblast smiled and exclaimed, "Come Megatron! Please you must come!"

Vector Prime looked at Megatron and said, "She was a beautiful femme."

"Yes….but so fragile…so delicate…"

"She had a large spark," spoke the spirit.

"So she had," cried Megatron, "You're right! I will not gainsay it, spirit. God forbid!"

"She died a grown femme, a warrior for the Decepticons…" spoke Vector Prime, "She had bred hadn't she."

"One sparkling," Megatron sighed.

"True, your nephew."

Megatron looked at the spirit and watched his younger self and his sister walk off together. "Yes, though when I did arrive home with Thunderblast I had to save her and myself from my father…that night was the start of a new life for the both of us…we had fallen in our father's trap and nearly died…I did what I had to do."

"Yes, in order to survive…the two of you went your separate ways."

"Yes until war started…"

"Caused by you," pointed out Vector Prime. Megatron looked at the ancient spirit and nodded not saying a word.

"She had disappeared for a while I had not known what happened until many years later…she had died giving birth to my nephew…no one gave him to me…instead he was raised as an Autobot and became second in command…it was not long ago we found out…"

Megatron put his hand over his face and exclaimed, "Show me no more spirit! Show me no more!"

Soon the room faded and no longer did another room appear. There were transformers everywhere. Megatron was an older Decepticon, but still he lived with Autobots and Decepticons. "I assure you know this place."

"Know it? I was an apprentice here! Old Alpha Trion and his wife…" Megatron sighed. Looking around at everything, there was Starscream his old partner, very much alive. Soundwave was walking around….his old war buddy…Thundercracker and so many Decepticons he hadn't seen because they had died in battle. Suddenly a voice rang through the air.

"Yo ho! Megatron! Shockwave!"

The two apprentices came running fast to Alpha Trion. "No more work tonight my lads! Oh no! We're going to celebrate Christmas Eve!"

Shockwave ran off to meet up with other people while Megatron stood there not knowing what to do… "Cheer up Megatron! Dance! Go with some friends."

Megatron slowly walked off but bumped into a femme. "I'm terribly sorry…." Megatron's younger self stopped in mid sentence as he gazed upon the femme before him.

"Ah! Megatron, I see you have run into a close friend to our family…this is Maegatrix."

"Hello." Megatron said.

Maegatrix merely blushed and replied, "Merry Christmas Megatron…it was very nice meeting you." Maegatrix started walking away, but he quickly grabbed her and tried to find the words.

Vector Prime looked over at Megatron who was walking towards his younger self and his young love. "I can't believe I've forgotten about her….she was the first thing I ever loved…besides my sister….she had started to show me a whole different side of things…her beautiful voice, her body was meant for mine..."

"You two were in love…she was the only one you ever loved." Vector Prime commented staring at the two lovers from the past.

The two watched as Megatron took Maegatrix's hand and escorted her out to the middle of the dance floor. There was Alpha Trion with Mrs. Trion dancing silly and enjoying themselves. Megatron and Maegatrix laughed and started a dance of their own. But as the night wore on people started disappearing one after another until there were only Alpha Trion, his wife and Megatron with Maegatrix. Maegatrix had her had rested on Megatron's chest.

"Lad, its past midnight I think you should go home and recharge."

"And what of her?" Megatron asked.

"Take her home with you…She has moved out of her home a while back…you two are simply made for one another."

"Yes…I ended up taking her with me that night to my place…" The two followed images of the past and slowly watched as time went by a next Christmas Megatron and Maegatrix still together and happy.

"Please spirit…stop showing me these things…please!" Megatron pleaded.

"My time is not over…until then we stay…these are not just things though….these are the things that happened in your past."

Megatron watched as they went to a party and there was Optimus Prime…he was a free Autobot still and there he had met Elita One. At first glance you would think they were in love, but Elita had left him that night for a Decepticon…Soundwave…Megatron watched as he and Optimus started talking to one another.

"Hello Miss Maegatrix how are you this fine evening?" Optimus asked.

"I'm doing very well, thank you for asking Optimus…I hope everything is going well with you with the holidays coming up so fast."

"They were going great until now…what is it with Autobot femmes liking Decepticon mechs?"

Maegatrix looked up at Megatron and replied, "I think it's because we want adventure and because we fight for the good we want an evil partner with us…but do you want a new mate?"

"Not at this time…it's the holidays and it wouldn't be right to just randomly ask a femme to be my matefriend…" Megatron just nodded towards Optimus and watched him turn around. They watched as Optimus ran into a Decepticon femme… "I am terribly sorry ma'am."

"Its okay Optimus…" the femme replied.

"That was how Optimus met Optigana…she was such a good fighter…but she fell for Optimus and switched sides."

"Are the two married?" asked the spirit.

"I really don't know, I should suppose so…I don't ask Optimus at all…since the war has ended he has been working under me."

Vector Prime looked at Megatron and then back at the shadows of time. Megatron then sighed, "Okay…I'll admit it…I wish I could say some stuff to Optimus…maybe let him have a little more freedom…"

Vector Prime acknowledged Megatron's comment, but didn't say a word. The two watched and listened to the music and the laughter suddenly Starscream came barging into the room and ran up to Megatron. Everyone cleared away from him, Megatron forced Maegatrix to do so, so that what ever happened she wouldn't get hurt.

"Megatron! You left me high and dry tonight! You were supposed to be at work!"

Megatron looked at Starscream and watched him reply, "I told you it was Christmas Eve and that I would be spending it with my lovely Maegatrix! Plus the last time I checked I was your boss and you not mine."

"Well then we should have a little change then. You are not worthy to be in charge of the management! You are not worthy to be a leader of wisdom!" Starscream yelled.

Megatron pulled out a gun and aimed it at Starscream and said, "Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you here and now."

"You have grown soft Megatron! You are not the one Decepticon you were last year!"

"I am the same Decepticon I have always been! It's you Starscream who has become power hunger and not caring about anything!" With that said Megatron pulled the trigger and Starscream fell to the floor…

"You killed him that night…" Vector Prime muttered.

"Yes, but he did come back. He was so hard to kill. He once believed he was immortal, but like all who say they are only turn out to be mortal."

Vector Prime nodded in agreement, but said not a word. The rest of the night went on as if nothing had happened and then the spirit said, "Come…we have one more visit to see….my time grows short Megatron and this one is one you have wanted to forget."

"No spirit, no please no. Don't torture me with anymore!" But his plea was not heard and soon it was years later Megatron and Maegatrix had just gotten home and they started to fight. Megatron put a hand over his face and tried to block out the images, but they slowly came into his head by hearing all what was happening.

"Megatron! You always say you're going to stop this madness but you never do! Your obsession has been your life now! What happened to the Megatron I fell in love with."

"Maegatrix! I'm trying to do this all for you! Giving you a home and energon! I'm doing this for you!"

"Megatron…what happened to our dream to be mates? Did you love just at all of a sudden just vanish? You're not the Decepticon I fell in love with those many years ago."

"Maegatrix….times are hard right now…I'm doing the best I can. All I want is for you to be happy."

"Does it look like I'm happy!? Does it!?"

Megatron watched this argument progress and ran over to Maegatrix and put his hand on her shoulder and yelled, "Listen to her! Stop what you're doing and listen to her! Embrace her! Tell her your sorry!"

The young Megatron felt all his anger go out at once and hit Maegatrix across the face. Megatron watched himself do this…He staggered backwards in shock at what happened…he now remembered why she left him…Megatron ran over to his younger form and smacked him, but nothing happened.

"As I have said before Megatron, this is the stuff that has happened in your past. There is nothing you or I can do to change it." Vector Prime said.

"Leave me! Just please leave me! Let me alone and leave me!" Vector Prime slowly started to vanish and Megatron ran after Maegatrix and when she was back to where they had once lived he watched her sit in a chair and cry. She had all her stuff ready to go…she was leaving him.

"I'm so sorry Maegatrix…if I could I would change it…I would have you in my arms right now if it weren't for that one mistake…I would have quit everything for you just to make you happy…now I can't see why I didn't do the things when the time was there….Maegatrix I'm sorry."

He felt energon tears stain his cheeks and fall to the floor. "I loved you Megatron…I had given my whole spark to you, but you just threw it away like nothing."

"No….Maegatrix…"

"Goodbye Megatron…may you have a wonderful life." With that said she left the room and Megatron ran to the wall and slammed his fist against the wall.

"Why!? WHY!?"

He closed his eyes and then opened them to see he was back at home. "It was all a dream." He got off the floor and looked around. It was almost two. "Let me rest in peace!" He then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
