1. Light
Unlike many other mechs in the arena, Megatron welcomed the blinding arena lights signaling the new battle to begin. For strangely, only fighting to death made him feel truly alive.

2. Dark

Megatron looked at the shard of dark energon in his hands. If he lets it course through his circuits, it may change his spark forever, however... Power came with a price. There was no sacrifice he was not willing to make in order to win this war.

3. First
Drops of energon stained the road. In the red-and-yellow light of cybertron's settling sun, the gutted chassis of a Senator looked spectacular, turning slowly on the suspending cables. The scene was perfect.
"Clear!" - Megatron ordered and within seconds the street was deserted. The leader trew last glance at the first victim of the impeding war before following his comrades into the darkness.

4. Last

Megatron ensured every last one of the decepticons got his fair share of energon, work and back up. From the high command, to the last miner drone, being a decepticon meant to truly _belong _. To him.

5. Fear

They feared him - they all. Yet, they stood by him. He found it amusing.

6. Hope

Hope?! Let the weak hope! A true leader doesn't hope, he PLANS.

7. Drop

At first, the steel gladiator didn't take him seriously - too frail, too angular, with too many joints and those too long wings. Yet, it took Soundwave only a couple of breems to drop his sparkless opponent to the ground. The tribunes seemed to freeze for a split click, erupting in cheering then, as Soundwave turned slowly, raising his energon-stained wing up in a victory gesture. Visor preventing to see the direction of his gaze, it was impossible to tell if the navy mech was looking at him, but Megatron sensed a smile behind the darkened glass. Steel faceplates shifted into a sneer. He finally met a worthy adversary.

8. World

To build the new era of justice and reason, they first needed to tear the old world apart.

9. Deep

It wasn't until the fourth cycle of darkness, when the night was deep and guards too lazy to keep the routine up, that the soon-to-be rebels gathered to share in whisper and weak wireless what lay on their sparks.

10. High

Megatron wasn't high with the booze: the admiration of his mechs and them cheering for his victory were the strongest and most addictive drug.

11. Fly

When they first took Kaon, Megatron spent most of his free time flying above the city-state. After years spent underground, in tunnels, mines and abandoned facilities of the past, the wind felt glorious on his wings and the land below caught his breath with its tattered beauty. He stopped doing that only after Soundwave joined him to give his report and started it with "I knew I'd find you here. ". He couldn't afford getting predictable.

12. Fall

The Fall of Iacon was one of his greatest victories and at the same time one of the biggest disappointments.

13. Shout

As scary as shouting and yelling warlord might be, whispering Megatron was even more intimidating.

14. Silence

Soundwave's silence got on his nerves. Many times he felt an urge to just _order him speak_. However, he never did.

15. Follow

"I will follow you to the Pits of Hell and back, if needed" - it took Megatron four million years to finally understand what his TIC's vow really meant.

16. Lead

Some were sparked to lead, others were sparked to follow, his destiny was to re-define the worlds and make them all bow.

17. Enemy

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Megatron followed it to the letter. Though sometimes he wondered if Starscream had the guts to be his enemy after all.

18. Friend

The were no deeper wounds than those caused by the betrayal of a friend.

19. Life

Lives of his mechs were but tools in his hands. But it had been just, for his own life was no more than a tool as well.

20. Death

Treason is punished by death. For all he's done, Megatron will extinguish the Traitor's spark and all of those who followed him!
