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 and we have yet another defector. 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!
Ratchet sighed as Optimus brought Ultra Magnus into the med bay, out of commission but still online. Ratchet could only sigh as the most important patient he had ever worked on sat right in front of him. Prime informed Ratchet of the fight and told ratchet news that he did not want to hear – Sentinel had joined the Decepticon army. Ratchet sighed heavily, though he never liked the glitch Sentinel, he never wanted the former Autobot to join the Decepticons. But then, Ratchet pushed the thought from his mind, as he had to focus on repairing the Autobot commander.
Prowl and his sparkmates looked on, realizing that the Decepticons were now even more of a threat now that one of their own had defected. Jazz was the first to realize that Starscream could be even more help if the others would just learn to use the info that Starscream possessed. Starscream and Prowl looked at each other, both knowing that it would now take a lot more effort to safeguard their little sparklings, and it did not help that Jazz and Prowl were both now pregnant, leaving Starscream the only one in the trio not carrying life inside him. Starscream felt very protective of his family, as it was the first family he had in his life that actually loved him and had not abandoned him.
Meanwhile, at the 'Con base, Megatron held an official initiation to indoctrinate Sentinel to the Decepticons, for even though Sentinel had not offlined Ultra Magnus, he had put the Autobot commander out of commission. Once the Decepticon placard was placed on Sentinel, his optics turned from blue to red and his look changed from pompous and arrogant to downright sadistic and cruel, just like a 'Con. Megatron, when in private and after the official ceremony, asked Sentinel about the little sparkling that had blue optics, Sentinel replied he had no idea how it happened. Megatron beat the oafish plow, because blue optics were only on Autobots. Either Sentinel had to do something to change the optics or slaughter the sparkling. Sentinel thought and thought, he realized it might be easier to kill the sparkling with the deformity, but that was not what happened as sentinel once again felt pain in his abdomen and felt sick. He could only head to the med bay as something was wrong.
The four little sparklings were being watched by the glitch Blitzwing, who had the most fun making fun of the little all black mech with blue optics, as the little one did not fit in. Blitzwing had no idea how dangerous the little one could be when angered as Sparkdemon's optics flickered to black and he attacked the triple changer, causing quite a bit of damage to the triple changer. It was only when Icy took over and cooled the little one down that Sparkdemon stopped attacking the bot. Sparkdemon was always fighting with his babysitters, his brothers, and his creators, no one having yet realized that even though born of a Decepticon, fate had played a cruel twist of fate and had sparked Sparkdemon with programming only accepting Autobot programming, a glitch that should the 'cons ever figure out, they would end up killing the little one.
Sparkdemon, though only a couple months old, hated where he was. He never saw his creators and if he did, they ignored him or berated him. He may not have been that old or that bright, but he knew when he was not wanted. And since Blitzwing had left to go get something, Sparkdemon made good his escape. He did not know where he was going, but he knew he never wanted to go back. Spooks, Acer, and Dumpster did not do anything, as they hated their brother because he had blue optics.
Sparkdemon, having found a way to leave the 'Con base without being seen, crawled on, and changed into his alt mode once he reached the outside world. Thanks to the 'Cons, the little one had a signal dampener, and it was a good thing, as his signal read as an Autobot. Not realizing where he was going, Sparkdemon flew away, hoping to find a place where he belonged.
Meanwhile, back at the Autobot base, Ratchet had done as much as he could to repair the damage to Ultra Magnus, and now it was time to allow the self-repair systems to repair the rest. Ratchet kept a sharp optic out as now that the leader was down, it was more important to watch for those trying to destroy the Autobots. Optimus entered the med bay to check how things were going and then left, once getting the information, to let those on Cybertron know what had happened.
Prowl was watching the little ones while Jazz and Starscream were napping. Skyburner, Thundercracker, Skywarp, Lowrider, and Openroad were playing in the recreation room with Bumblebee, Bulkhead, and Sari. Prowl absent-mindedly rubbed his slightly bulging abdomen, as he wondered what all this was going to mean as now there were sparklings involved. The little ones were having fun playing when something caused all the sparklings to run and hide behind Bulkhead. Prowl and Bee were concerned as they had never done that before, and so carefully the two bots went out doors, only to find a lost little sparkling laying on their doorstep. The little one was all in black but had a very small Autobot insignia hidden under its left shoulder. The little one was asleep and Prowl, being a parent, took the little one in, as nothing was worse than a lost sparkling.
Meanwhile, in the 'Con med bay, Sentinel was being poked and prodded as well as tortured while the medic fumbled around attempting to not only repair the bot but also determine why the bot felt like crap. Sentinel's red optics burned in rage, upset at the medic for being a clueless idiot, but the more Sentinel got angry, the longer the bot took, not realizing that it was not a good idea to piss off the boss's sparkmate. Megatron felt rage come across their bond. Sentinel was trying to find something important out and the medic was being a buffoon. Megatron commed the medic and told him in no uncertain terms to address the matter or Megatron would address the medic. Finally, after torturing Sentinel for what had been 8 earth hours, the medic finally told sentinel something that he did not want to hear – he was pregnant yet again, with one very large sparkling.
Sentinel was finally able to leave the med bay and head home. When he got there, he found only three sparklings, but he did not really care as Sparkdemon had a habit of running away and then returning, and so Sentinel thought nothing of it, as the sparklings he truly loved had stayed put. Forget that glitch-y sparkling thought Sentinel I have the ones I really care about.
Meanwhile, at the Autobot base, Prowl and Bee brought in the exhausted sparkling who looked to be no more than about 2 to 3 months old. Prowl was even more concerned for the little one as scratches and other wounds could be seen on the little one. Obviously, wherever this little one came from, he had been abused by his creators. Prowl hugged and gently stroked the little one as he took the recharging sparkling to the med bay, hoping that Ratchet could help the little one. Prowl, while on the way to the med bay, heard the little sparkling purr as it seemed to know it was in caring arms. Prowl could only hope that he was not too late.
Meanwhile, Jazz and Starscream, realizing that something was bothering Prowl, got up and headed out of their shared room. It was then that they saw Prowl carrying an unknown black mech sparkling toward the med bay. Jazz and Starscream, being parents as well, understood what Prowl was trying to do and so while Starscream went to watch the other sparklings, Jazz went with Prowl to the med bay to get the little sparkling checked out. None of them had any idea where it came from, but they knew the little one needed help.
When they brought the little one into the med bay, Ratchet was busy repairing something but soon came over to check the little sparkling. Other than the wounds and dents on the little one's chassis, Ratchet found the little sparkling to be healthy. Ratchet suggested that Jazz, Starscream, and Prowl watch the little one as they would be the best ones as they were already parents of five rambunctious sparklings, and one more to their brood shouldn't hurt. Prowl and Jazz were happy that the little one was healthy and took him, as he had started waking, back to the room where the other sparklings were.
Sparkdemon awoke to find himself in warm and welcoming arms. He did not know where he was but he knew he never wanted to leave as he felt like he belonged. He onlined his optics and found a scary looking faceplate looking down on him, but once he adjusted his optics, he realized that the bot was not scary, but was concerned. Sparkdemon then heard laughing and other sparklings. He was scared, as the only other sparklings he had met were his brothers and they hated him. He attempted to curl further into the chassis of the bot who was carrying him and felt a warm, gentle hand trying to calm him down. Sparkdemon looked at the five sparklings who were playing in the room.
They looked like they were having fun and so he quietly clicked, asking to be set down. The bot obliged and set Sparkdemon on the ground. The first one to greet the little one was Openroad, a kind, gentle, quiet sparkling who held out his hand toward Sparkdemon. Sparkdemon looked at the bot, looked at the hand, and carefully placed his own little hand in the outstretched arm. Openroad smiled as he led the little one to meet the other sparklings. Sparkdemon was scared, but the other little ones, sensing his fear, did their best to make the little one feel welcome.
Before too long, Sparkdemon was having fun and playing with the other sparklings like he had been doing it all his short little life. Prowl just smiled, as did Jazz and Starscream. Hey, there was always room for one more. And it was thanks to Openroad that the Autobots learned the little one's name, Sparkdemon. They had no idea where that would come from or who would name their sparkling that, but they were not going to argue. Little did they realize that in taking in this sparkling, they were going to piss off Megatron and Sentinel – neither of which actually cared about the little one, they just hated that it meant a warrior for the other side.
The next day, at the 'Con base, sentinel was pissed because little Sparkdemon had not returned. He searched and searched for the little brat, but each search came up empty. When I get my hands on that little brat, he will die thought Sentinel, not knowing that Sparkdemon was safe and sound with the enemy, the Autobots. It was only a matter of time though that it would be discovered where the little one went, and Primus help the bot who got in the way.
