Disclaimer: I do not own the Transformers, they are owned by Hasbro. This idea was in response to an inspirational survey/poll I had done. While I will try my best at many of the ideas, one had to be first, and after another little push, this idea was born. The sparklings need to be protected as Sentinel is now more of a factor in the horrible war. Sparkdemon, Dumpster, Spooks, Acer, Skyburner, Lowrider, and Openroad are my creations. This contains slash and M preg. No like – No read. You are warned. This is strictly fan fic, based off transformers animated. No flames or harsh comments. Constructive criticisms welcome. Enjoy!

(Several months later)

At the Decepticon base, Sentinel now had free reign, as he was truly a Decepticon, as the Decepticons had initiated him in and Megatron knew that Sentinel was a 'Con for good, as Megatron had pushed the bot past the point of no return. Sentinel had worked efficiently and had quickly become the second in command, replacing the old seeker who had defected. Sentinel loved the power he got with the rank, just as much as he loved the sparklings he had given birth to, though he did not want to remember the birth, as he almost offlined as each sparkling came painfully out of his overused and abused front interfacing port, but Sentinel would not trade the little ones for the world. He had power, a good position, a loving sparkmate with lots of power, and 4 brats at home. The only thing that could have made him happier was to bring himself and his sparkmate more power.

Each time Sentinel went back to his quarters, his little ones were waiting for him. And on seeing them, he remembered just how bad a day it was when he gave birth to the little sparklings.

(A month or so ago)

Sentinel awoke in his own berth in excruciating pain, oil dripping down his legs and pain shooting through his body. To make things worse, Megatron had cut him off as the oaf had somehow managed to piss off his sparkmate. Sentinel, leaking oil and crippled by pain, slowly crawled on his hands and knees toward the med bay, receiving many snide comments and glares, as no one was willing to help him get to the med bay. These were the 'cons after all, not the Autobots. After listening to Lugnut and Blitzwing chide the oaf all the way to the med bay, Sentinel finally, with his last ounce of power, crawled onto the med bay birth. Once on the berth, sentinel passed out in pain and exhaustion.

A few hours later, though how many Sentinel could not be sure, as he found himself still in the med bay with an energon drip haphazardly dripping into him. Sentinel groaned out in pain, and was screamed at by the medic that the medic was busy at the moment. Sentinel was worried as he had never carried sparklings before nor had he given birth, so he had no idea how much pain he would be in. The pain kept increasing, as Sentinel was shocked as the armor covering his interfacing area was moving of its own volition, and his port was opening wider as his cable moved out of the way, but malfunctioned, and instead of going in its designated area, had moved and tucked itself in his aft port. Sentinel did not know what to think as he was in pain, but his own cable up his aft was causing extreme pleasure, leaving the bot absolutely delusional by the time the Decepticon medic got to him.

The medic heard the moans and screams, and looked over to see the large blue plow's port wider than it should have been. That was when it hit the medic that Sentinel had crawled his way into the med bay because the sparklings were ready to be sparked. i Oh shit /i thought the medic i I have never helped spark a sparkling since I was in medic school /i. But the medic, not one to shirk his duties, quickly headed over to the delusional bot, settling the bot down as the medic accidentally brushed his hand against Sentinel's port. The brush had brought the sentinel slightly back into reality and pain hit the bot again like a ton of bricks. The medic set himself between the plows legs, and suddenly realized the first sparkling was coming. The medic was shaken and unsure as the little one continued to come out, and causing an immense amount of pain, as the sparkling was huge.

Sentinel screamed like a girl as the large sparkling came out of his sore port. The medic just managed to catch the little sparkling before it could hit the floor. Had the medic known who the other creator of the sparklings was he would have been more careful with them, but the medic was so frazzled, that it did not matter. The first sparkling somewhat safely delivered was a mech and blue and silver truck, with red optics. The medic, realizing that sparklings were important news, informed Megatron. Megatron swore and cursed the medic out as Megatron was mad that no one had told him that sentinel was even in the med bay, as Megatron had been looking for the defect all day. The medic leaked oil as he realized that Megatron was on his way to the med bay. Sentinel, though now swearing, named the little truck Dumpster.

The medic became frazzled as soon as Megatron entered the room, as the medic soon realized that the sparklings were not just anybodies sparklings, but they were Megatron's sparklings. The medic was much more careful, but that still did not help sentinel who was still screaming in pain as the second large sparkling came forth. And as sentinel almost offlined, the second sparkling came forward, all black except for deceivingly piercing blue optics. Megatron did not care for the blue optics, but hoped it would be the only one with blue optics. The mech had an alt mode of an assault helicopter, just like Megatron, and the menacing look on the little sparkling's faceplate made Megatron proud and he named the little one Sparkdemon. And after lots more pain, and almost offlining twice more, two more little mechs were born, a silver and black seeker named Acer and a black and orange aerial bot named Spooks, and both had red optics. Finally, after all 4 were born, Sentinel could rest while Megatron enjoyed meeting his little sons. Megatron scared off the medic so he could have some alone time with his sparkmate. Megatron was pleased. There was one bot who was not, Lugnut. And Lugnut was going to get at Sentinel for it at some point.

(back to present)

At the Autobot base, all the little sparklings were being taught how to change into their vehicle modes. Openroad, being patient, learned his rather quickly, Lowrider learned his but it took awhile as he was more interested in playing with Jazz's vehicle mode. Starscream had the worst time as none of the little seekerlings wanted to pay attention. When Starscream finally got their attention, it still took forever, but all five learned how to transform. The parents were glad that much was over, and the three sparkmates fell asleep in their berth surrounded by their little sparklings. It was a cute sight, but soon there would be trouble.

Sentinel, having been freed to walk around and help run the Decepticons was searching for an opportunity to attack the Autobots, and when Sentinel located Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus scouting around Detroit. Sentinel chuckled coldly, this was too good to be true. And seizing the opportunity, Sentinel grabbed Blitzwing and Lugnut to join him. Though Lugnut resented Sentinel, he went as Lugnut knew the more Autobots that are offlined, the better chance Megatron has for running the universe. And so the three headed out, Sentinel riding on Lugnut's back, as Sentinel could not fly on his own.

As Optimus and Magnus were scouting, the saw the 'cons coming toward them. The two transformed into bipedal mode and prepared for battle. And then they saw it, but could not believe their optics. There was Sentinel facing off against them. He no longer had an Autobot insignia, but a Decepticon one. Sentinel just laughed as the two bots he had wanted to offline the most, even as an Autobot now stood dumbfounded in front of him. Optimus and Magnus, only temporarily flabbergasted, soon prepared for battle.

Sentinel attacked, wounding both Prime and Magnus. Sentinel did not feel a bit of grief as he attacked his former teammates. Optimus was down, but not out, and lashed out as Sentinel tried to completely offline the downed and injured Ultra Magnus. One quick shot from Magnus's hammer swung by Optimus sent all three Decepticons reeling and retreating until they could find a better plan, but they had given fair warning, Sentinel Prime was now gone, lost to the Decepticons. It was time for Optimus and the others to talk to screamer as it was the only way they would be able to prevent a takeover of earth from happening.

Upon heading back to the base, Optimus informed Ratchet that Optimus would be bringing one in to be repaired. Unsure about what had happened, Ratchet asked who and was stunned when Prime told of the attack and that Ultra Magnus had been severely injured to the point where he was in stasis lock. This was not good, especially as Ratchet looked down and saw little Openroad try to climb up his leg. No, this really was not good.
