Megatron sighed fitfully as he lowered himself onto his recharging berth.
Feeling the Drakgons squirming in his fuel tank near overloaded him with pleasure.
Stroking the overly swollen bulge made him feel absolutely at peace.
Also, he allowed his thoughts to drift back to that incident, five weeks ago.....
"WHAT!!!!PRIME!!!!"
"MEGATRON!!!"
"What do you want, PRIME?"
"I'm looking for a Transformer, her name is Aurora Borealis Prime and ....."
"My daughter??!!!WHAT???!!"
***
That day was one all Transformers would and should remember.
Aurora's near-death encounter with Magnoragnorok, leader of the Drakinkons, a corrupted Ultimate Drakgon, forced Optimus and Megatron to cooperate and save her life, along with the Autobots and Decepticons .
Taking on the leader, they, along with their "daughter", pounded the evil creature into a unrecognisable pulp.
Aurora hugged them all, but suddenly collapsed into Bumblebee's arms.
She was in such a mangled state, when she returned to her human form, to be treated by human doctors, it looked as if she wouldn't survive.
She'd....she'd...just laid there, little chest rising and falling, hooked up to so many monitors.
A period of mourning followed.
All around the base, Autobots and Decepticons came together to mourn the damage to their little "sister". She had resurrected many a fallen Decepticon and Jazz, not to mention rescuing The Fallen from Magnoragnorok's claws, who had wanted to use him as dragon feed.
Everyone coped differently.
Starscream , Megatron and Ironhide wrought so much damage to the firing range, trying to shake off their grief.
Bumblebee got regular comfort therapy with Barricade, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Bonecrusher and Wheelie.
The Fallen just sat alone by her bedside, until Ratchet drove him out of the med-bay.
Jazz played his music overly loud.
Ratchet, Hoist and First-Aid practised wrench-throwing on any mech or femme.
The femmes had spent their mourning period in the med-bay the whole time, helping Ratchet, First-Aid and Hoist.
Wheeljack shut himself up in his lab.
Yes, even the Drakgons joined in, with all the humans beating up the punching bag in the gym and everybody praying fervently that she would recover.
They shared many things, like when in Mangoragnorok's captivity, she shared her meals with The Fallen, who Mangoragnorok had brought back to life to use as her lackey.
How she talked to Megatron and told him stories, curing him of his "madness".
How she and Ironhide spent time together on the firing range.
How Optimus got foot massages....
The memories were too many to count.
Every human on base learned to like ALL of the bots equally, for The Allspark, having been restored through Aurora's actions , resided once more on Earth.
The robots didn't care.
They, in human terms, all seemed to fade away.
They all got together and prayed at The Allspark.
Human, Autobot, Drakgon and Decepticon.
Then, several miracles occurred.
Optimus Prime and Megatron agreed that they should work together and stop the senseless war.
That's how the Autocons were created.
All were branded with the Autobot insigna.
Then all agreed to stay on Earth.
Bumblebee and Sam were extremely happy.
But then the BIGGEST miracle occurred.
It happened the day after everyone decided they should stay on Earth.
Ratchet had walked into the med-bay, then a moment later, a femme shriek echoed throughout the Diego Garcia base of operations.
Aurora Borealis Prime had awoken!
She was albeit a bit achy and drowsy , but fine.
After being given the news, she reached out, hugged Optimus's huge digit and smiled.
Walking wasn't easy, but she managed being carried in Megatron's hand.
Everyone personally thanked her.
The humans then all witnessed a amazing phenomenon.
Spark-bonding.
Aurora Transformed into her adult Cybertronian form and spark-bonded with every living robot and sentient being in the room.
With tears in her optics, she hugged Megatron and whispered something in his audio-receptor.
He hugged back.....
***
Megatron sighed, yawning lazily.
Servo resting on the temporary new home of the Drakgons, he fell promptly into recharge.
***
Aurora couldn't contain her happiness.
Her father, Optimus Prime, was asleep.
And hearing the familiar heavy pulse that was his spark, soothed her soul and body.
His tank walls were moulding to her shape and slightly pushing her, but she didn't care.
*sigh*
Everything was perfect.
Her family was the best.
She wouldn't nor couldn't swap them for anything in the whole universe.
Slowly nuzzling the "flesh" of her father's "stomach", she just listened to the soft, echoing pulse.......
Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump.......
Daddy, I love you was her last sleepy thought before falling into slumbering happiness.
***
Samuel James Witwicky couldn't get himself to sleep.
Everyone, including Bumblebee, was asleep.
But not him.
He couldn't sleep.
Sighing, he turned this way and that way, but it was no use.
The nightmares......
Shivering, he recalled his first encounter with Magnoragnorok.
Bloody claws, black teeth, mouth dripping with blood......
And then, she jumped...at him!
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Sam couldn't help it.
Looking around wildly, no one awake,he heard Bumblebee's spark pulse was much faster than normal.
Great. Nice going dumbass.
"Hey, um, Bumblebee, you awake?"
"Yes Sam. Now please tell me what happened? Are you hurt? I want to help you. Having nightmares?"
Hearing his friend, his guardian's soothing gentle tones, made Samuel burst into terrified tears.
Sobbing, he recounted all the nightmares, especially the newest one.
Bumblebee remained quiet, as Sam wound down and sobbed and wept and howled in fright.
"Shush, little one, hush."
"I'm here, so please cry."
"Cry all those tears out."
"So we can fly,"
"To softest of dreams,
"and wonderful things beyond comprehension,"
"And mothers who care for their young..."
Sam listened as Bumblebee started stroking him and humming.
Softly murmuring and crooning, the treatment calmed Sam down.
Smiling sheepishly, he softly mumbled, knowing his friend wouldn't allow him to have nightmares again , a "thank you" before snuggling into the soft fuel tank lining and promptly falling asleep.
***
Bumblebee felt his charge calm down.
Allowing himself a glitch of relief, he laid back, replacing his blankets, pillows and lamp, he felt warm feelings running nonstop throughout his system, especially in his spark chamber.
Settling down, he went back into recharge.
