The Story of Evil

by Nightshade2917

This is the story of Magatronous' life before he became the Decepticon warlord, Megatron. What caused him to change from seeking justice in society to conquering Cybertron? What really bred this hatred and violence towards fellow Cybertronians? Could the deaths of the ones he loved caused this much destruction for retribution?

Chapter 16: Loyal till the End

POV Harmony

I woke up the next morning feeling dread and discomfort from what had happened yesterday. I was curled up in a tight ball in my bed as I thought of what I had done.

I still can't believe that I killed someone, let alone someone who I knew as a friend. I let out another sigh as I slowly started to get up out of bed. I thought a little fresh air would help me from what happened last night.

I walked out to the balcony to look at the beautiful sun rise shining over the small garden down below me. I took in a deep breath as I closed my optics. I exhaled slowly before I repeated the process of breathing in slowly and exhaling out slowly to calm down my sensors.

Then I heard someone walking up to me slowly. I opened my optics, turned around, and saw Soundwave coming up to me.

I faked a smile as I said warmly, "Good morning, Soundwave. How are you today?"

He just stood there for a second before he repeated what I said in my own voice, "How are you today?"

I let out a sigh, turned around to face the sun rise, and mumbled, "Not good."

He then walked up right next to me, placed his servo around my shoulder, and said, ~ "What happened?" ~

Tears threatened to fall down from my optics as I turned my head away from him.

"Harmony," he said out loud for the first time in centuries. "You can tell me anything," he said so sweetly to me as I tried to hide my face away from him. "You know that I will listen to every word you have to say," he said as he rubbed my shoulder gently.

I couldn't contain all of this emotion bottled up inside me any longer. I burst out into tears as I buried my face in Soundwave's shoulders. He wrapped me in his arms lovingly. I blurted out everything that had happened from when I was gone for a mission to last night while he stood there in silence to listen to every word I blurted out of my mouth.

Once I was finished, I looked up at him with lubricant flowing down my cheeks in little streams. He then wiped them away with his hand gently. We stared into each other's optics for a long time before I laid my head in his shoulders again.

He then whispered softly, "Everything will be alright now." I sniffled a bit before he continued what he was saying. "If you need to talk it out some more, you can always come to me," he said while rubbing my shoulders to calm me down.

I manage to give him a nod in reply before we separated from the embrace. Then we started to talk about other things while looking around at the beautiful garden down below us.

POV Orion Pax

I was gathering some materials that I will need to help heal Primus' illness. I asked my friend, Ratchet, to help accompany me on this voyage because of his medical expertise with medicines and cures.

As I was packing the items in my bag, I heard someone coming into the room. I looked up and saw an aqua blue femme with red designs in her armor. Her red optics looked up at me with worry.

"What's wrong, Sapphire Soul?" I asked her.

She sighed and replied, "I can't seem to find my twin, Emerald Heart, anywhere, Orion."

"Have you checked her house or the park?" I replied to her.

Sapphire paused for a moment before she said, "I haven't checked the park yet. Maybe she's there singing a….."

She was interrupted by a mech who came into the room abruptly. He was panting before he said, "Orion….you need…to come…."

"Woah, what happen? What's going on?" I asked him.

The mech took in a deep breath before he replied, "Its Emerald Heart. She's dead."

Sapphire Soul's optics widened in horror as she roughly grabbed the mech and said angrily at him, "What! Where is she! Who killed her! TELL ME!"

I put my servo on her shoulder and said to her, "Sapphire, calm down, please."

"How can I calm down when my twin sister is DEAD!" she shouted at me as lubricant started to form in her angry, sorrowful optics.

"Please Sapphire Soul, we're all upset about your twin's passing," I said to her. She only turned her head away from me as she bit the bottom of her lip. "We'll get to the bottom of this," I said reassuringly to her.

She only nodded in reply.

Then I turned to the mech and asked, "Where is her body?"

"In the park, but there's something else you need to know," the mech said to me.

"What?" I asked.

"There's another dead body with her," he replied.

"Who?"

"I don't know who he is but I do know that he is a Decepticon."

My optics widened in shock.

"What! You're lying! My sister would never be a spy for the Cons!" Sapphire yelled at the mech.

"If you don't believe me, then go see it for yourself," he said to the furious femme.

She was about to retort when I cut in, "Could you show us?"

He nodded as he guided us to the place where Emerald Heart was kill with a Decepticon's body by her side. When we finally arrived, my mouth opened slightly at what I saw. I saw Emerald Heart's body up against the fountain with a black and blue mech's body next to her.

I turned to see Sapphire Soul grinding her teeth together in hatred as tears started to fall from her red optics. I turned back to the mech who brought us here and asked, "How did you find their bodies? And was anyone else here before you came?"

The mech shook his head and replied, "I was the only one to find their bodies this morning, but I saw a few fresh tracks around the bodies. Meaning that the Decepticons were here."

"Megatron," I said hatefully.

"He will pay for this!" Sapphire said hatefully.

"But why would he kill one of his own?" asked the mech.

I sighed as I replied, "Because he believes that all traitors should be eliminated to prevent any information to fall into Autobots hands."

We were all silent for a second before I said to the mech, "We should give them a proper burial."

The mech turned to me and said, "I understand that you want to give a proper burial for one of your own, but a Decepticon too?"

I nodded and replied, "Even a Decepticon follow should also receive a proper burial like any one of us."

The mech nodded his head as he called in his comrades to help him out.

Sapphire and I returned to the house to tell the others about the news. After we told them about the sad news of Emerald Heart's death, I went to Ratchet to see if he was ready.

I knocked on his door before I came into his room. I saw him packing up some medical supplies that might help us heal Primus from his illness and see why the Rivers of Life has started to cease flowing.

"Ratchet," I said out loud. Ratchet turned to face me as I asked, "Are you ready?"

He looked back at his things and replied, "I believe so, but I wish we knew what exactly to bring with us to help cure Primus of his ailment."

I sighed as I replied, "I wish we did too, Ratchet."

Then Ratchet gathered up all of his things, turned to me, and said, "Well, we better get going before it's too late."

I nodded as we left to travel all the way to the Well of AllSpark. The voyage was long because of the Decepticons, so we had to travel in places that no one would normally go to.

We finally arrived at the Well of AllSpark after five days of nonstop traveling. Then I started to put on a harness so that I wouldn't fall into the well.

I turned to Ratchet and said to him, "Make sure that the rope doesn't break while I'm down there."

He nodded as he made sure that I was secured. Then I climbed into the well and started my descent down towards Primus' core. As I climbed further and further down the well, I felt the rope shake and vibrate.

I touched the side of my helmet and said into the comlink, "Ratchet, what's going on up there?"

"Orion, don't come up out of the well!" I heard him say as I listened closely to pick up the faint sounds of blasters.

"What's going on? Why do I hear blasters in the background? Have the Decepticons tracked us?" I asked as I tried to climb up out of the well to assist my friend.

"Yes, but your priority right now is to get to Primus and cure him from his afflictions!" he replied to me.

"But…" I said before I was cut off.

"Don't worry about me, I've been through a lot worse," he said before he ended the call.

"Ratchet!" I shouted before I mumbled, "I'm coming up to help him whether he likes it or not."

As I tried to climb up to the surface, I felt the rope getting shakier and shakier. Then I lost my footing as I grabbed onto the rope to break me from my fall, but that was when I felt the rope getting loser like as if someone was cutting it.

"Oh no," I said as I tried to climb up as quickly as possible before the rope breaks, but it was too late. The rope snapped as I started to fall down the well.

I screamed as I went into a free fall towards the bottom of the well. As I was falling, I started to close my optics so that I wouldn't see my own demise. Then all of a sudden, I stopped falling towards my doom.

A bright light shone on me as I slowly opened my optics to be amazed and surprised to be in the presence of Primus himself.

"By the AllSpark," I whispered to myself as my optics widened in awe.

"Orion Pax," said a booming voice of Primus. "Why have you come here?" he said to me.

I stumbled for words for a few Nanoseconds before I replied, "I've come here before you to help cure you of this illness that has plagued you from all of this chaos from the war."

"I'm afraid that you cannot help me, Orion Pax," he said to me.

I shook my head as I replied, "No, there must be a way to save you and all life that you have created for billions of years!"

"Orion, you cannot save me from this because it is beyond your means of modern science," he said to me.

"I don't understand," I said to him while looking at him with confusion and worry on my face.

"Don't worry, Orion, you'll understand someday," he said before a bright orb of light came out of his very core and floated towards me.

When the orb came closer towards me I saw that it was the legendary artifact, the Matrix of Leadership. I gasped as I said to Primus, "Are you sure that I am worthy of becoming a Prime?"

"Yes, you have proven yourself every time and again worthy of becoming a Prime," he said as my chest plate opened up to receive the artifact from Primus himself. "By the power within me, I pronounce you, Orion Pax, worthy of being one of the long lines of Primes. From now on your name will be Optimus Prime. The last of the Primes," he said as the Matrix entered my spark chamber.

Everything started to become white after being accepted as a Prime. My memories from my past were starting to become fainter and fainter like my memories were being wiped clean.

All that I could remember was one thing. And that one thing was to stop Megatron's tyranny and restore peace on Cybertron.

POV Ratchet

I had no choice but to cut the rope that held Orion to the surface because he needed to focus more on the mission than my own well being. Ha, he's so selfless, no wonder the High Council thought that he was worthy of becoming a Prime.

But after I cut Orion loose, I was captured by Decepticons. They bound me so that I couldn't escape.

I overheard one of the troopers say to the other that Lord Megatron was coming. Then out of the blue, I heard the familiar sound of a flying engine. The Decepticon leader himself appeared before me as he transformed into his robotic form.

He smirked evilly at me before he said, "Well, well, well. If it isn't an old friend of mine from the gladiator arena. Pity that you turned your back on our little friendship that we had a couple of centuries ago."

I narrowed my optics at him and retorted with a loud humph, "Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you!"

Megatron's smirked disappeared before he narrowed his red optics at me and said, "Now, what pray tell are you and Orion doing at the Well of AllSpark?"

"What makes you so sure that I would answer your questions?" I said as I watched him pacing in front of me.

He smirked as he said, "You will answer my questions whether or not you're willing to." Then he started to aim his blaster at me as it slowly started to charge up. "Now, where is Orion Pax?" he asked as he leered at me.

"Megatron!" shouted a strange yet familiar voice.

Everyone turned to the Well of AllSpark to see a red and blue mech standing in front of it. I squinted my optics to see the mech closely before I gasped in surprise as I said in a whisper, "Orion?"

Megatron narrowed his optics and said, "Who are you?"

The red and blue mech stood up taller and replied, "I was once called Orion Pax, but now I am called Optimus Prime."

My jaw dropped in shock that Orion is now a Prime. I turned to see Megatron grinding his teeth together in hatred as he commanded, "Decepticons, attack!"

The troopers engage Orion/Optimus in battle. Optimus deflected each attack from the troopers before he single handedly defeated each and every one of them.

Megatron sneered at Optimus before he said, "You'll regret this, Orion." Then he and a few remaining Decepticons transformed into their jet forms and took off.

Optimus came up to me and untied me. I then asked him, "What happened down there? Did you cure Primus?"

Optimus sighed as he replied, "It was too late, old friend. Primus could not be saved."

"What!?" I said in confusion.

Optimus looked at me and said, "Primus used the last of his energy to give me the Matrix of Leadership so that I could put an end to this war and stop Megatron."

I nodded slowly before Optimus helped me up so that we could go back to our base.

POV Megatron

I was in rage after leaving the Well of AllSpark. Orion Pax was picked to be a Prime instead of me? I was not going to let him have the glory and honor of being a Prime.

Once we returned to New Kaon, I told one of my Troopers to contact every Decepticon to be in the city plaza in an hour.

An hour had passed by as I saw hundreds of Decepticon troopers, minors, warriors, generals, etc gathered around in the city plaza. Then I decided to start my speech.

"Decepticons!" I said in a loud voice as everyone quieted down to hear my speech. "I have some unfortunate news for you about our enemy, the Autobots," I continued as everyone started to murmur in curiosity and in confusion. "The Autobot leader Orion Pax and his medic Ratchet went to the Well of AllSpark to poison our planet!"

A wave of anger and hatred was heard from the mass as I grinned at their hate for the Autobots. Then I said, "I went to the well at lighting fast speed once I received the message that the Autobots were going to do something to Primus's core. We captured Ratchet and tried to pry information out of him when Orion came out of the well. But Orion Pax was no more for he had stolen the Matrix of Leadership right out of Primus' very core!"

A roar of angry troopers started to wave their fists in the air as they cried out, "Eliminate the Autobots! Eliminate the Autobots!"

"But we will not let the Autobots do this! We will annihilate them before they could destroy us! We will be the first to strike, and we will be the first to take down Optimus Prime!" I shouted as the cheerful roars of the Decepticons grew louder and louder. I paused for a brief second before I shouted, "Decepticons, the time has come for our attack!"

Another wave of cheer sounded as they awaited for what I will say next. "We will attack the Autobot's base at first light!" I shouted out loud before I added, "For the Decepticons!"

"For the Decepticons!" my troopers shouted over and over again as I grinned at them for their devotion to my cause.

Then I dismissed them so that we could be prepared for war, for I have located the Autobot's base in a nearby city that so happens to be the location that I gave to my daughter. I grinned evilly before I said to myself, "Soon, I will recreate Cybertron in my own image."

POV Harmony

I was still shocked with what my father had just said at the assembly that I had to warn him. I quickened my pacing so that I could tell him that the Autobots are planning on killing him.

I only got this information just a half an hour ago when I went back to the house in the woods, so I had no time to tell him myself with all of this chaos of the assembly and stuff.

*Flashback*

I went back to the house in the woods to hear if the Autobots were successful in curing Primus of his illness so that energon can flow in the rivers again. When I got to the house, I heard a huge argument inside.

I walked up to the window of the house to take a peek inside. I was shocked to see Orion Pax in some kind of new armor before the aqua blue femme spoke to him.

"Orion, I mean Optimus, why didn't Primus allow you to cure him?" she said to him.

I raised my metal brow in confusion as I said, "Optimus?"

The red and blue mech sighed as he replied to the femme, "I don't know why, Sapphire Soul, but there was nothing I could do to help him."

"Then what do you suppose we do now? Our planet is slowly dying, Megatron is still raging war all over Cybertron, and we are getting blown up, shot down, and getting grind up by Decepticons!" said a mech.

Then Ratchet said to Optimus, "Optimus, you and I both know that Megatron will find us, if not already, and rage warfare here in this peaceful city because you have become a Prime now."

I gasped in shock at what Ratchet had just said.

Optimus looked at Ratchet and replied, "I had a feeling that he knows where we are and is about to come here for me." He then paused before he said, "I fear that the only option we have left, is to destroy him."

Everyone in the room, and including me, gasped in surprise.

"Optimus, surely there must be another way?" said Ratchet.

"I'm afraid not, Ratchet. The Megatronus that you and I once knew is gone now. All that is left is darkness and hatred in Megatron's spark," he replied.

I held my hand to my mouth to prevent anyone to hear me gasp in shock.

Then Sapphire Soul said, "Well I suggest we surprise him with a bullet in his spark by my cannon blaster."

I was eagerly listening to their plan on my father's execution when my comlink sounded my father's message.

"Scrap!" I cursed out loud that my cover was blown.

"Who was that!" shouted the femme as she turned to the window and saw me running away.

I ran until I transformed into my jet form and flew off into the sky as I heard her cursing at me.

*End of Flashback*

So that's the reason why I'm kind of in hurry. I finally spotted my father talking to Starscream, Soundwave, and a few of his Vehicon troopers.

"Father!" I shouted as I sprinted up to him.

"Harmony? What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"The Autobots…are planning ….to assassinate…you," I said to my father as I panted for air in my vents.

I looked up at my father as he said, "Interesting. The Autobots are becoming desperate to end this war quickly by eliminating me. Ha, don't worry Harmony, they can't get rid of me that easily."

I blinked a couple of times in shock before I said bluntly, "What! Dad, did you not just hear me say assassinate you!"

He stopped walking and replied, "I did hear what you had just said Harmony, but I'm not worried about it. Now, I want you to go to your room and stay there until I come back from the battle."

My optics narrowed angrily at my father as I said, "Grr, you're not listening to me! The Autobots are planning on killing you tomorrow and…."

But my father cut me off by saying sternly, "Harmony, I don't have time for this. I have to get everyone prepared for battle tomorrow at first light. Now, go to your room."

"But Father!" I said as I tried to convince him to not go to war tomorrow.

"No buts young lady," he said before he turned to Starscream and commanded him, "Starscream, I want you to watch my daughter while I'm gone."

Starscream bowed respectfully at my father while I growled loudly at Dad before I stormed off into my room.

I slammed my door behind me as I collapsed on my bed. I was on my back as I looked up at the ceiling of my room. Then I sighed out loud before I grabbed my cyber bear that I had since I was just ten years old.

I hugged the light pink cyber bear tightly as I whispered, "Oh Lillybear, what am I going to do? He won't listen to me."

My stuffed bear just looked at me with her light purple eyes. I sighed before I said, "Yeah, I guess you're right. He is being stubborn, but I just can't sit here and do nothing when the Autobots are planning on killing my father!"

"I…I just …." I said before I sighed and started to sing a song that I'd made up.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Once upon a time in a place very far away.

There was an evil gladiator filled with anger.

For his spark was filled with vengeance.

Of the death of his lovely wife.

He was a promising mentor.

He also had a beautiful and lovely daughter.

Whose name resembles unity.

She was everything to him like her mother.

If someone had a problem and disagrees.

He would force them on their knees.

For he is the fiercest warlord.

He'll just shout out loud,

"I'm in command!"

Oh evil thorns, have tainted thee

I just want my father back I plea

And whatever goodness was left

Was just withered up and repressed

The tyrant observed secretly

A traitor who loved a spy so sweetly

Though the traitor did not see

That he had fallen in love with a daughter of green.

Oh how The Dark Lord was filled with anger.

That he called his loyal seeker

He commanded him in a hoarse voice

"Make sure that her spark is no more"

He nodded as he made haste.

To dispose of the Autobot toxic waste

And the cry of sorrow from the suffering people.

Did not reach him at all

"Decepticons, attack!"

Oh evil thorns, have tainted thee

I just want my father back I plea

And whatever goodness was left

Was just withered up and repressed

The war mongrel had to be brought down

So the people joined the Autobot's cause

The one leading these angry Cybertronians

Was a mech of red and blue armor

They wanted to end this disorder.

But the gladiator refused so he continued this destruction.

The conflict between Autobots and Decepticons started this war

"I will protect and serve you" I swore.

Finally the destruction of this war

Reached our planet's very core

So the Autobot leader tried to save Primus

He became a Prime which made a huge fuss

"You'll regret this, Orion"

Oh evil thorns, have tainted thee

I just want my father back I plea

The planet that we called paradise

Was reduced to dust and rust from our genocide

Once upon a time in a place very far away.

There was an evil gladiator filled with anger.

For his spark was filled with vengeance.

Of the death of his lovely wife.

The war between fellow Cybertronians began

Then the Autobots devised a plan

To bring down the tyrant's wane

To bring an end to Lord Megatron's reign

Finally the time had come for him to die

The Autobots wanted this to end, though they didn't know I would cry

Without realizing his demise, he went up to the trooper crowd

He yelled in a commanding voice out loud

"Decepticons, the time has come for our attack!"

Oh evil thorns, have poisoned him

As I sing this sad hymn

Now his name is Megatron

The Autobots would say that he was truly the Father of Evil

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

After I finished singing my song, I started to calm down a little. I sighed as I looked at the time on the clock. It said that it was only ten after seven. Well, I guess I should devise a plan to trick my friend so that I can escape and protect my father.

A few hours had passed by as I was getting prepared to go to bed early so that I could wake up on time to save my father from the Autobot named Sapphire Soul. As I slept, I thought about the plan to get Starscream out of my way.

I awoke up to the multiple sounds of footsteps in the hallway as the troopers made their way to go fight the waning battle that has yet to come. I quickly got up to look through the keyhole of my door. Then I saw Starscream standing off to the right side of my door as he was wishing some of the troopers good luck.

He especially wished good luck to some of his seeker buddies from his junior raking and above. Then my father came up to him and said, "Starscream, make sure that my daughter is safe."

"Yes my lord, you can trust me to keep her out of harm's way," he said to my father.

"She better be because if she's not, then I will have you held responsible for not watching her," he said to Starscream angrily.

"I won't let her out of my sight," Starscream said to my father with a salute.

"Good," was all that my father said before he left with his army.

I waited ten minutes after they left for the perfect opportunity. Then I set my plan in motion to get Starscream out of my way.

I opened my door carefully to see him standing there. Starscream heard me open my door as he turned around to see me. He smiled warmly and said, "Good morning Harmony. You're up very early this morning."

I faked a yawn as I replied, "Yeah, couldn't sleep much with all of the noise in the hallways."

He laughed as he said, "Yeah, they were pretty noisy with their marching footsteps and chatter."

I nodded in agreement before I asked innocently, "Hey could you do me a favor, Screamy?"

He looked at me curiously as he asked, "What?"

I smiled as I replied, "I need you to get something for me from my closet. I'm too short to reach it."

"Okay," he said as I let him into my room. "What do you need me to get for you?" he asked.

I opened my messy closet and replied, "I need you to get me Lillybear from that top shelf."

He looked up and saw Lillybear as he huffed and said, "You are so fond of that little sparkling's toy aren't you."

I smiled gleefully as I replied, "Haha, you know me too well Starscream."

He then went inside my closet and tried to reach it but he couldn't quite get it yet. "Ugh, why did you put your stuffed cyber bear up so high, Harmony?"

I shrugged as I replied, "Eh, thought that I could reach it at the time."

Starscream struggled to get Lillybear before he finally got it. "Gotcha! Huh? A note," he said as he took the note off of Lillybear. Then he read it out loud, "I'm sorry, Screamy. Please forgive me."

He looked at it some more before I slammed the closet door close. "Hey!" he shouted as I locked the door. "Let me out, Harmony!" he shouted some more as he tried to open the closet door.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you get in my way," I said before I started to run out of the room.

"HARMONY!" Starscream screamed out loud as I ran to save my father from his own demise.

I heard an explosion from inside my room before I finally made it outside.

As soon as I cleared the gates of New Kaon, I started to sing while running past through all of this rubble.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

You are my father, and I am your loyal daughter

Fate had divided the path of kinship bond

I'll do anything for the sake of protecting you

If I must become evil, this is something I must do

Your expectation welcomed me when I was given life

And I was surrounded by you and mother's happiness

But that dreadful day that my mother was slain

You've changed, our lives were never the same

Even if all of the peaceful Cybertronians,

Turned to hatred and became your enemy

I'll defend you and take away all of your pain, so please

Relax and let me take your burden away

You are my father, and I am your loyal daughter

Fate had divided the path of kinship bond

I'll do anything for the sake of protecting you

If I must become evil, this is something I must do

One day I was exploring in a town recently

I met a femme of green who smiled innocently

She reminded me of mother when her eyes shone that way

So the two of us became, best friends ever since that day

But this friendship shall remain locked deep inside

As you gave orders, "The femme must die"

I will answer his wishes, his mind I will ease

So why, Primus, do my tears fail to cease?

You are my father and I am your loyal daughter

Fate had divided the path of our kinship bond

"I've killed the girl as you wished," I said obediently

Just to see you smile so proudly

Soon the Autobots devised a plan in due time

By the citizens who wanted my father to die

If this is to happen then your death I won't accept

I am loyal till the end, your time is not over yet.

I will protect you so you may live

I hope that your spark may learn to forgive

It will be alright, we will meet again very soon

Surely they need you to lead the Decepticons' commune

So now the time has come at last

Destiny tore apart, the life of a broken father's heart

They say you are a tyrant of vice and disdain

Then I am evil as well, with the same energon in my veins

Once upon a time, there was a loving family

But that happiness turned to hatred and agony

And the loving father was someone I always thought

Had a caring spark and he's the only family I got

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Then I stopped singing for a brief moment to see that I have arrived at the battle zone on top of a large hill. I gasped in horror at what I saw. The battle was like the one from my dream, without Starscream and Arcee fighting each other.

I took out my visor as I searched for the aqua blue femme. I finally found her perched on the rooftop of the tallest building where my father was directly in her path. I saw her take out and step up her sniper cannon blaster.

I gasped in horror as I started to run when I heard someone call out my name.

"Harmony!"

I turned around to see Starscream flying towards me at top speed.

I started to run down the hill as Starscream transformed into his robotic form and cased after me. I dodged bullets from both directions while I heard Starscream panicking from the close calls of dodging bullets like a newbie.

Then I heard the familiar sound of an engine as I saw a blue motorcycle jump over me, transformed into its robotic form, and tackled Starscream to the ground. It was Arcee and she and Screamy were going toe to toe with each other.

I ignored them as I continued to sing.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

I am glad I could be with you up to this day

I am happy to know that my papa is safe

I swore I'd protect you until the bitter end

So now I'll allow my energon to flow for you with no regrets

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

"Father, watch out!" I shouted at the top of my vents.

My father turned around as his red optics widened in horror to see me here on the battle field.

"Harmony? What on Cybertron are you doing here?!" he shouted back towards me while blocking Optimus' wrist blade.

But I kept on running towards him. That's when Optimus broke away from my dad and singled the sniper to fire, just like in my dream.

I then saw the aqua blue femme fire her canon at my father as I ran at full speed.

"Papa! Watch out!" I screamed as I pushed him out of the way.

My optics widened in shock and in horror as I felt immense pain in my spark chamber. I slowly fell down on my side as energon started to leak out of my wound.

"Harmony, Noo!" shouted my father as he ran over to me. Then I felt someone holding me up in their arms. I saw that it was Soundwave.

"Soundwave," I said as tears started to flow down my checks.

~ "Don't speak, we'll get you to a medic immediately" ~ he said as I shook my head.

"It's too late…" I said as he shook his head violently.

~ "No, please Harmony, don't go. Don't leave me here all alone," ~ he pleaded as I heard him sobbing behind his visor.

I smiled at him lovingly as my spark leaped in joy that he cares about me deeply that he doesn't want me to die. I want to tell him how much he means to me, how much I really care about him. I want to tell him everything about my feelings for him. Then it click for me. I had fallen in love with him. No, I was in love with him!

Every time I felt this feeling in my spark I denied that what I was feeling for Soundwave was just a really strong friendship that we have than that of love. Now that my optics have opened up to this possibility of this new feeling, I want to live to tell him myself. But I couldn't.

I was on the brink of death. My spark is getting weaker and weaker. Then I began to murmur the rest of the song as I sang for the last time, "Always you are my lord, my dearest father. If I could reveal my wish within my own spark. I'd want you to be with you, forever in your arms."

~ "What?" ~ he asked with confusion in his voice.

I signaled him to come closer to me. He bent down closer to me as I lifted my weak body up to him with all of my remaining strength and kissed him on the cheek and said, "I love…"

But I couldn't finish my sentence because my vision was dimming into darkness as my spark finally left my body to join the many others in the Well of AllSpark.

POV Soundwave

I watched as Harmony breathed her last breath as she went limp in my arms. I started to sob loudly as I held her sparkless body to mine. She wanted to tell me something, so desperately I'd imagined.

Then I heard Megatron yelling at Starscream. I turned my head around to see Megatron angrily throwing his fist in the air in front of Starscream saying, "THIS IS ALL OF YOUR FAULT!"

"Lord Megatron…I-I…." Starscream said before our liege cut him off.

"Save it Starscream, I don't want to hear about your excuses!" he shouted at him. "You were supposed to be watching her! And now she's dead because you did not stop her, you idiot!"

"Megatron," said Optimus Prime.

Megatron turned to Optimus hatefully and said, "And you, if it weren't for you calling your sniper to shoot me, then my daughter would still be alive today! You are a coward to not face me like a true gladiator to finish off his enemies himself!"

"Megatron, please hear what I have to say," said Optimus before Megatron angrily growled at him and turned his back to him.

Then my lord said to everyone, "Decepticons, we are done here. Return to base immediately."

Everyone nodded as they took to the skies, or rode off in their vehicular moods, towards New Kaon. Megatron came up to me as I lifted Harmony's lifeless body in my arms. He then looked at her with a tear in his optics before he lead the way to New Kaon on foot as I followed behind him.

Later that day, every Decepticon was gathered around Harmony's grave. Everyone was silent before Megatron decided that it was time for them to go back to headquarters.

I was the only one to stay by her grave. Then I heard footsteps as I turned around to see Starscream coming up to me.

"What are you still doing here, Soundwave? Everyone else left already," he said to me.

I didn't say anything to him.

He sighed as he said, "Look, I know how you're feeling. She was my friend too you know, but you shouldn't be sulking around like that…"

I cut him off when I turned to face him and yelled, "You don't understand the pain that I'm feeling right now!"

He was shocked that he took a step back and said shakily, "Y-you can speak!?"

I took off my visor, narrowed my optics at him, and said, "Of course I can speak! I'm not mute you know."

"Then how come you only communicate to us physically? And why do you wear that visor to cover up your face?" he asked.

"Because I chose not to speak physically unless if I really wanted to. Also I don't like people seeing my face because of my…unique facial features," I said as I put my visor back on my face.

Then there was silence for a few seconds before Starscream said, "What do you mean by I didn't understand the pain that you're feeling?"

I let out a sigh as I replied, "The reason why I said that you didn't understand what I was going through was that I…I…" I said as I choked on my words as the tears started to fall from my optics again.

"What?" he asked as he looked at me with worry.

"That I love her," I said as a sob escaped my mouth.

Starscream looked at me in shock before he said, "You're in love with Harmony? Since when?"

I turned to him and replied, "Since that dance in high school, I've fallen in love with her." Then I knelt down to the ground in front of her grave stone and said, "Every time that we're alone I just wanted to tell her all of the feeling that I felt for over the centuries about her and how she makes me whole! I want to tell her so badly how much I love her more than just being a friend or a little sister, but now I can't."

"Because now she's dead!" I shouted out loud as all of my emotions just flowed right out of my spark chamber. "Now I can't tell her if she feels the same way how I feel about her. I will never know if she loves me the way I felt about her," I wept even more before I felt Starscream's hand on my shoulder.

I looked up at him as he said, "I'm sorry, Soundwave. I didn't know that you felt that way about her."

I nodded as I slowly got up off of the ground. We both stood in front of her grave for a long time before I started to play a recording of, If Only Tears Could Bring you Back.

We waited until the whole song was over before we left Harmony's grave. But before I finally left her grave, I put a single blue cyber rose on the ground. Then I whispered sadly, "Goodbye, my true love."

Centuries had gone by after her death. Everyone wasn't the same anymore. Megatron became bitterer and angrier than before, Starscream became a jerk because Megatron still blames him for what happened to Harmony, and I became completely mute, never to speak ever again.

The only time that I would 'speak' was when I use other bots voices' to replace them for my own words. I would visit Harmony's grave every opportunity I had. But that all disappeared when we had to leave our dead planet.

I went to her grave for the last time as I played that same song from before. As the song was about to finish I sang for the first time in centuries the last part of the song, "If my tears could bring you back to me."

Then I went to the edge of the Sea of Rust and threw my little glass bottle into the sea for a wish that I would see her again and tell her how much she means to me.

I sighed as I whispered out loud, "I will never find love like this again." Then I saw the Decepticon warship as I transformed into my jet form and climbed aboard, never to come to his planet that we called home again.
