AN: Okay... This took a twist I wasn't expecting. Anyway big thanks to my new beta xXAutocon-LeaderXx, to eltigre221 for agreeing to be backup beta, and lastly but not least, thanks to keishinaruka for tossing ideas at me! Also... has been messing with my lines lately, hopeful it make-shift line doesn't throw any of you off.

Warnings: Ummm can't remember if it has cussing in this one, the author's attempt at action scenes. Any mistakes can be blamed on Autocon... nope, kidding. Don't blame her, my story my fault. Speaking of... ON WITH THE STORY!

The battle started in a blur of motion. Bumblebee had let Sam out to help Ironhide lift a bus to protect the humans from Starscream. Being on the wrong side, 'Bee was caught in the blast and lost his legs. Sam raced over to the injured 'bot, dropping the Cube to look over the downed mech. 'Bee whined and picked up the Cube and placed it into the boy's hands. The leader of the human's Military, Will, told Sam to get the Cube to the top of one of the buildings. Sam raced off, the tiny 'con clutched to the hood of the his coat.

It was at this time that Megatron showed up and Jazz attacked the large tank. Megatron transformed to jet mode and the smaller, sliver 'bot hung on determined to take him on. On top of the building the giant aliens fought, the smaller climbing over the bigger of the two shooting at him. "Want a piece of me, Megatron?" Jazz taunted.

Megatron sneered as he finally caught the other who continued to fight, "No... I want two!" Starting to pull the sliver mech apart, it was then that he noticed the human boy. He was running from the fight, much like a coward, but he held the Cube and kept looking over his shoulder. Megatron smiled, no the boy was no coward or he wouldn't have the Cube that he wants so much. He could get both the boy and the Cube easily. He tossed the second in command over his shoulder and jumped, transforming into his jet form he took off after the boy.

Jazz struggled the break his fall by digging his servos into the closest building. The cables in his midsection screamed in agony, but he was alive. Whatever distracted Megatron from ripping him in half, he was grateful for. The landing on the ground nearly made him cry out in pain, instead he hid behind the adjacent building. Taking shots at Startscream as he flew over head and Blackout as he attacked the humans.

"Come here, boy!" A booming voice thundered and Sam shivered in fright. He didn't look back when the ground shook with an explosion and then when the two Autobots covering him fell he stumbled and hit the front of a car before rolling off and onto the ground himself. He didn't take note of the chaos the city become, nor of the new mechs causing havoc with the humans. No, his blood was singing, his heart pounding, and his brain slowed everything to where he was watching it all in slow motion.

"Sam, get to the building," Ironhide urged the boy as both he and Ratchet tried to take on Startscream.

Climbing to his feet and taking a quick look around, he spotted the building he had to get to, and behind him was the massive Decepticon from the hanger headed for him. "Give me the Cube, boy!" Megatron told the boy. Wasting no time in analyzing the situation, Sam took off running as fast as his legs could carry him to the building with the white statues on top. The newly made terraformers following him and providing cover, even the thing clinging for dear life to his jacket shot a few rounds at the humans who got in his way. Finally he made it to the building and darted inside, but Megatron followed inside after him.

"I can smell you, boy!" The metal giant called out to the squishy. "And what a wonderful sent he has. When I get my hands on him...!" Megatron thought to himself as he searched the building for him before hearing the soft clicks of footsteps above him. Reaching up he tore though the floor and followed the boy to the roof which he tore though as well. Anything to get the boy and the Cube.

Coming to the roof, he saw Starscream shoot at the helicopter and almost take out the boy. He would have killed the seeker if such a thing happened. It was what the boy did after that that made the warlord want the boy and it gave him an idea. Rather than hide or give up the boy put himself in a dangerous situation that made the mech stop if he didn't want the boy harmed. He squirmed his way around one of the statues with the Cube, if Megatron moved or attack the boy would fall and take the Cube with him. If it was any other squishy he wouldn't have cared. So he used his idea and asked the boy, "Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshling? Give me the Allspark, and you may yet live to be my pet." Megatron was pleased with how he sounded, calm despite the pounding of his spark at the thought of the fleshling falling. Even if the human didn't obey him he was still determined to have the boy be his pet.

It was then that the fleshling surprised the mech, "I will never give you this Allspark!" and he jumped from the roof.

Megatron raced over to the side of the building already transforming into his jet mode and launching himself after the boy only to find Optimus Prime had caught the boy. Sighing in relief, the warlord landed on the ground to await his brother's decent with his precious cargo. Never in all his life had he been as grateful to his brother as he was then. He looked over his Decepticon, the humans had taken out Devastator and the two injured Autobots, Bumblebee and Jazz, had taken out Blackout. It was then that he came to his decision. He knew what he had to do.

Sam was screaming as he fell though the air, but Optimus caught him. Optimus let air circulate though his vents as he held the boy close even going so far as to place him next to his spark. "Hold on, Sam," he told the youngling as he turned and fell. Using the two buildings to break his fall, he bounced between them. Landing on the ground he was amazed as a multitude of tiny mechs raced over to the boy; the tiniest climbing his leg to sit on his shoulder, looking for all the world like he belonged there.

Looking up Optimus saw Megatron standing and waiting for them. "Brother, this ends today. One shall stand, the other will fall."

"No, Prime," the warlord called, "give me the boy and I will end this war." To say Optimus was stunned would have been the understatement of the year. "You can have the Allspark, but I want the boy."

Optimus looked at Sam surrounded by the tiny mechs and then at Megatron. "No. You will never stop at just one." Optimus slid into a fighting stance, his energon swords ready to defend the strange boy.

"If I was going to kill him I would agree with you Prime, but I want the boy alive."

Optimus' eyes widened and he lowered his stance to an attack one, "I will never allow you to hurt the boy Megatron!"

Air circled through the warlord's systems in a form of a sigh. "My master once spoke of a group of humans... they weren't like the others and they fought us," Megatron started, "I believe the boy is a decedent of these humans. I could tell you more, but first agree that the boy will stay with me and I will call a truce and end this war."

Optimus Prime, the so called great leader of the Autobots and supposed protector of the weak was thinking of turning over a boy, so young by his own species standers: by far younger an more vulnerable than his own.

Megatron could see the gears turning as Optimus thought out his course of action. It was the boy, however that made the decision for them, surprising both of the aliens. "I'll do it on two conditions. One, we all live together as your war really will come to an end then. Two, I won't be your pet or plaything. I have to be able to do as I please."

Megatron looked at the boy as he thought it over. "Very well, boy, but I have a condition of my own. You won't leave the base or whatever the Autobots have without me..." the warlord thought for a minute as surely he'll be busy often. He glanced at the others who had paused in their fighting and decided, "Barricade, or the yellow scout. Agreed?"

Sam nodded, "I also would like to be there when you write up the treaty." Megatron nodded to this as it was likely he would keep the boy with him most of the time, until tempers cooled at least.

Barricade growled in frustration as no matter what he was blocked off. Twice now he transformed to get around the humans only to change back because his alt mode was so much faster. By the time he made it to the battle, everyone was standing around watching Megatron and Optimus Prime talk. Of a peace treaty of all things! When he first landed here, peace was the last thing he thought would happen. Why would Megatron... The boy! The fleshling handed off the Cube to Optimus and walked away from the Prime to crawl into the warlord's -former warlord as the case may be- hand. The boy was powerful indeed to have smitten the Decepticon leader into peace. Yes, powerful indeed.

Boy was the Allspark happy. Sam was it's new hero. Peace was finally brought to the Cybertronians who were down in numbers almost to extinction. The Allspark was alive. It totally didn't think that it would be, but Sam was a miracle bringer. The Cube only hoped that they could get along and that they could face whatever trials lay head for them. Their presence on this planet has already begun to awaken the-one-who-sleeps.

AN: So... hoped you enjoyed. Now that the story is officially set up, we'll see where it goes.
