Meanwhile...
Magnus' estate...
Optimus sat on the soft ground contemplating with interest the flying creatures that jumped from one crystal to the other as Megatron laid his head on his lap.
The Prime caressed his head softly as this one slept.
But then suddenly the Emperor spoke. "I've never had the chance of seeing you in combat or using a weapon... Nor that I ever give you that chance..." He said sadly.
The younger smiled and said. "I believe I must be somehow rusted my lord... I mean, Megatron," He corrected himself in the end... But for Megatron that was another knife in his already sad and regretting spark.
Trying to change the subject for something he knew it may cheer up the other; "I wonder how Red and Ratchet are doing with Hook?"
Megatron hadn't even smiled, his spark was too hurt to even try and fake one; so Optimus tried something else. "One of these days I must start training again... I cannot believe I'm saying this but... I think my sire is in better shape than me."
The emperor remained in silence still unable to forgive himself.
"I wouldn't mind seeing how Decepticons train," Optimus mused. "Do you think I could train with some of your men?"
"Some of my men?" Megatron repeated before giving himself a little shake. "Yes of course but..."
"But...?" Optimus asked with a frown.
"I...would like to see you train myself," Megatron said quietly, remembering on his bonding night promising he would do so but then forgetting all about it. "Before you train with others."
"Are you sure?" Optimu asked. "I'm not likely to be much good."
"That doesn't matter," Megatron declared. "I'm not going to neglect you any longer, I want to be involved in your interests and abilities, it's the least I can do as your sparkmate."
"I wouldn't mind some company," Optimus said with a little smile. "Even if I fail miserably."
"You won't, you'd be surprised at what your body remembers," Megatron assured him. "You might be a little rusty at first but I know you'll pick it up again quickly."
"If you say so," Optimus laughed, his Spark feeling lighter. Something occurred to the Autobot and he said.
"You know Megatron, we had a very active interface life but we haven't spark merged that much."
Megatron looked up at him, his mate was right, they hadn't. No doubt another mistake on his part.
"When we get back together," Optimus said softly, causing Megatron's spark to leap hopefully. "I think we should merge more often, it'll allow us to feel each other properly, we won't be able to hide our true feelings again. The love I felt in your Spark that night helped me."
"It did?" Megatron said in surprise, he thought he'd messed everything up.
"Yes," the blue and red Mech assured him. "It really did. And in return, if I can love you, I want you to feel that."
"I would love that," Megatron said honestly. "To truly feel you."
"I know," Optimus said with a sly wink, making his mate suddenly feel hot. Primus, the things his mate did to him, surely he knew that.
Optimus noticed Megatron's discomfort and smirked.
"Are you alright?" he asked, tracing a hand down Megatron's chest.
"Fine," Megatron squeaked.
Optimus continued seducing his mate while tracing his finger over his mate's chest playfully and moved a little feeling something deep between his legs activating...which in turn make his spark give a jolt.
"O- op- Optimus...What...are you...?" Megatron tried as the other continued.
"Nothing, just...feeling my mate..." He purred. Maybe he was depressed after everything that happened and so was now Megatron but that didn't meant he hadn't enjoyed all the interface they did...or missed it...
'Frag, I miss it!'The Autobot thought as his body betrayed him and so he learned down and kissed his now panting lover.
The Decepticon emperor could practically smell his mate's arousal; without doubt he DID want to start over and more certainly now.
"Optimus..."He gasped as he too touched the other's chest and with his other hand reached downwards to a heated panel that with a needy moan of its owner opened revealing his already wet valve.
The larger mech broke up the kiss and looked down at the beauty beneath him. "I thought you said no interfacing-?" His words were cut off by a hungry mouth that claimed his desperately.
"Shut up and frag me...let's do it before the kids return..." Optimus panted and Megatron smirked before positioned himself between those gorgeous legs and released his hard length.
Optimus smirked and touched it before squeezing it causing the Emperor to moan deeply and the younger bit his lips in anticipation as it swelled... then Megatron took his hand, kissed it, positioned himself and lowered his hips.
Both mechs moaned as their bodies were assaulted in such delicious sensations. Megatron remained motionless for a few moments enjoying the tight valve of his love embracing him, accepting him...needing him.
"Megatron...for frags sake...move!" The younger demanded as the other kissed him deeply and passionately before rolling them back so the Emperor was lying on his back with his huge spike deeply buried in his very much excited and impatient mate.
The red and blue mech once again found himself on top and sat back onto the spike as the other caressed his face, torso, tights and aft. "So….this is how you want it? So be it...Megatron..." He purred in the sexiest voice he could manage causing the thick spike to somehow swell even more without him moving an inch.
Then they started rocking together until nearing the peak Optimus parted his chestplates revealing his beautiful blue spark to the passionate mech beneath him who followed his example...
Minutes later after they reached their peak the two of them just lay there while cuddling absentmindedly of the world only caring about each other and what they were feeling at the moment.
"I love you..." Megatron said kissing the other's forehead since in his laziness it was everything he could reach from his beloved.
"I know..." Chuckled Optimus. "It was all you could say as we were making it..."
Megatron's spike was still deeply buried inside him and his valve continued pulsing around it not wishing to let go yet even if it was not the same size when it entered...but that didn't make the feeling less enjoyable.
The Emperor sighed in contempt and smiling lazily hoping that one day perhaps his beloved Optimus will tell him how much he loves him too.
Time seemed to have stopped for them in their post bliss haze until...
"Daddy, where are you?"
Valour's voice broke their little bubble! They were not waiting for them to return this fast!
...and he sounded to be pretty close!
"Oh frag," Optimus groaned, it had been bad enough when Valour had caught them before but they hadn't actually been in each other. "Come on, get up."
"Daddy?"
"I...uh...," Megatron mumbled incoherently, he had no idea what to do. "Well..."
"Come on," Optimus said impatiently, shoving Megatron off him and looking around wildly. There was no time to clean up, he could hear that Valour was very close, he had to think of something fast.
His optics suddenly fell on the nearby fountain and a crazy idea came into his head. Grabbing his mate, he somehow managed to haul him to his feet and drag him over to the fountain.
"What are you?" Megatron said in confusion as Optimus called back to Valour. "Just coming sweetspark."
"Just go with it," Optimus hissed before shoving his mate right into the fountain and joining him with a massive splash.
"Daddy!" Valour squealed as he heard the splash and raced over, dodging an ornate bush and coming to a halt as he saw both his creators coughing and spluttering in the fountain. "You fell in!"
"Yes," Optimus agreed, spitting out water and blinking at his son. "We were sitting by the fountain talking but something startled us and we fell in."
Valour stared before giggling at the sight of his shell shocked Sire who had a floundering fish on his head.
"Sire, you got a fish," the little Sparkling sniggered, pointing right at said fish.
"So I do," Megatron murmured, lifting up a hand to flick the fish off who landed with a splash before swimming back to the surface and indignantly squirting the Decepticon leader in the face.
Now Optimus laughed as he causally replaced his interface panel under the water and helpfully did the same to Megatron. As the others arrived, Valour told his creators.
"You guys are silly sometimes."
"A little," Optimus admitted as Ultra Magnus hurried forward and helped his creation out of the water.
"Thank you," Optimus said warmly before asking. "How did you get on?"
"Very well," Magnus said with a smile, although his optics were giving Megatron a slightly suspicious look. "The children got themselves some new things and behaved very well for a first go."
Optimus saw that his Sire didn't look overly impressed but he was more concerned with the children. As Valour raised his arms for a hug, Optimus laughed and picked him up.
"I'm all wet you know," he told his son who snuggled into him regardless.
"Don't care," he mumbled before saying. "Daddy, I got a red cloak, grandpa says I can wear it for banquets and stuff."
"Lucky boy," Optimus laughed as Megatron pulled himself out of the fountain. "What about you Slipstream?"
"I got some pretty things," she stated, she seemed rather subdued.
"Is everything okay?" he asked with concern as Megatron frowned.
"Yeah, I just...wanna go home," she said.
"Do you want me to take you home?" Megatron offered, glancing at his son. "Valour, would you like to remain with Optimus and your grandparents or come back with me?"
The sparkling looked down at his gloomy friend for a moment before saying. "I wanna go; mama must be missing me just as grandpapa... I just hope they're not fighting again..."
Optimus smiled at that and nodded before setting him down before glancing his mate who just couldn't take his optics away from the femmling.
"What happened, Slipstream?" He demanded before staring up at Alpha Trion with a frown. "Did he do something to you?"
Said old mech just scowled in annoyance before she shook her head and spoke again. "Is nothing, I just miss my family and I'm tired..."
Megatron's frown deepened; she's a seekerlet, said creatures never tire! Looking up Alpha Trion again for an answer this one said:
"We found her sire in the mall... He's an autobot... A very high ranked one just as I suspected and heir of his family..." Megatron lifted an optic ridge at that. For this mech the only important thing is blood and credits? "He's very well educated and we thought that maybe he can teach her autobot etiquette since he's related to her..."
Ultra Magnus tried not to frown or look disturbed. He told him to not mess up things with Slipstream's family!
"I thought we could coordinate with her carrier so she might come...and even meet her sire's family which I thought in the beginning was odd that she doesn't know them.
Emperor Megatron, tell me, since her carrier and you are quite... Close, I was wondering if you knew the reason why would he take such decisions and keep her sire unknown?"
All optics turned to Megatron who just shook his head. "Her carrier and I are friends but if you want to know the answer why don't you ask Skyfire himself?"
Alpha Trion nodded tying the ropes together. "Was she...unfit for their standards?"
Slipstream's optics widened and she couldn't control her tears from escaping now, so she kept her head low. Valour noticed just as Ultra Magnus.
Once again Alpha Trion nodded. "There's a reason why his family is almost extinct, you know? They are a pure line of shuttles and don't accept just anyone who is not like them." Then looked down at the seekerlet. "I've forgotten that important fact and just believed her carrier was being selfish by keeping her from them... You have to remember that I'm older than all of you put together and some things may just slip from my processor."
Ultra Magnus frowned almost horrified. He was the autobot leader for quite a while and ignored that fact?! That the shuttles were this...elitists?! His son and grandson seemed horrified and Megatron seemed angry...he was told this obviously.
"Maybe he accepts her as his creation but that doesn't means his family does..." The eldest said shaking his head. "I believe you all know Jetfire and Jetstorm? Well, they are not 'pure' as they want them to be, and so, never accepted them fully... Which explains their poorly educated behaviour."
The seekerlet was shaking now. "You don't forgive your sire not for what he did to your brother only...but because he never really took you in or defended you from them and stood proudly with them not with you, right?" Alpha Trion asked imagining being her, so little and defenceless being possibly examined by the huge, scary giants and failing their tests...with her sire there, the one she hoped will defend her from them but in the end did...nothing; and that was enough for her who couldn't take it anymore, ignited her thrusters and flied away.
"Slipstream!" Megatron called before turning his blazing red optics towards the eldest. "This isn't over...councilmech!" He hissed dangerously before flying after her.
When he turned, everyone was looking at him with frowns. "I just merely stated a fact... In the worst cases they order the 'impure' sparkling to be terminated."
This time Ultra Magnus took him by his shoulder and shook him hardly. "If you knew this, then why you insist in them to see each other?!"
"I didn't know until I remembered...now, don't touch me, Magnus! I was just thinking in the best for our grandson and it is for his betrothed to learn etiquette and his sire was a good option then! At least she has pure Autobot blood in her systems...that is enough for me so I could teach her myself!"
"But you hurt her...! You made her cry!" Valour cried. "Why are you so mean? What have she done to you?"
"I was not trying to be unpleasant," Alpha Trion stated, looking at his grandson. "I'm sorry if it's a painful subject for her, I was just explaining why I thought there is difficulty in her family."
"Trion, you need to learn some tact," Ultra Magnus said with a heavy sigh. "I'll need to arrange transport for Valour to get home, unless Megatron is coming back."
"I'm sure he will," Optimus said softly. "Slipstream is probably heading for the exit so I'll head over there with Valour, Megatron can pick him up."
"Alright, we'll meet later," Magnus said, placing a hand on his creation before they parted.
"Did you really meet Slipstream's sire?" Optimus asked his son as they made their way along a white gravel path.
"Yeah, we did," his son replied with a nod. "He was really huge, the biggest bot I've ever seen."
"Was he a scary bot?" his father asked and Valour considered the question.
"Well...he can walk really softly, we didn't know he was there until he was standing right behind us," Valour finally admitted. "I guess his size makes him a bit scary but that's not his fault. He didn't look mean, he looked a little sad. He wanted to give Slipstream some pocket money but she wouldn't take it.
He remembered how the large shuttle had moved as little as possible, perhaps he was afraid of scaring his daughter? Or things got easily broken if he started jumping about the place. Valour had a feeling that it would be very easy for him to hurt a sparkling by accident, even out of annoyance. This made him feel sorry for the large and powerful Mech, he probably couldn't express himself properly because he was always being so careful and gentle with things.
"Sounds like he's made some mistakes," Optimus said softly, thinking of his mate. "Slipstream obviously doesn't forgive him easily for whats happened."
"Mm, but I think she should give him a chance," Valour stated. "He looked like he wanted to talk to her but was too polite or something."
"Well hopefully she will give him a chance," Optimus said encouragingly. "From what I've heard of from Megatron, Starscream gets on very well with her Sire, I'm sure he wouldn't be adverse to them meeting up. What was his name by the way?"
"Skyfire," Valour revealed.
"Skyfire? That name sounds familiar," Optimus mused. "And he's an Autobot."
He wondered when and where Skyfire and Starscream met, if it was at the beginning of Decepticon occupation, then it must have been a whirlwind romance. Perhaps it had been the result of a one night stand which turned into more, Slipstream was older than her brothers after all. Which meant the two fliers had mated after their daughter was born.
...
Megatron reached for Slipstream before the femmling could reach for the exit, however she gave a turn and a twist before flying even faster towards the crystal ceiling of a huge dome.
...made of crystal and making it unable for him to stand on it.
"Slipstream, come here..." The Emperor tried. If he touches the thing he was sure it will break! "Slipstream... I know how you feel and must not let that old mech to annoy you by using that against you."
The femmling only curled herself tighter hugging her legs and hid her face trying to ignore him.
"Slipstream, please... Valour will be sad if you're sad... You want that?" Megatron tried to use the boyfriend card only to have her giving him her back now.
The Emperor was not a very patient mech so he said. "Fine, stay there, I'll tell Valour you don't care about him." And with that he left her alone.
Slipstream cried in silence as she learned to do since believing that doing so in public was a declaration of weakness.
She couldn't help but remember her sire doing nothing while his family rejected her and called her 'unfit' and 'a glitch' along with many other things since she was not a shuttle like them... Then she cried at their harsh words and called for her sire's help and reassurance only to have him turn his back on her.
It broke her spark and her carrier had to explain her that they were different and that she doesn't need them, she's his daughter too and will have her own family with him and his family, they don't need her sire's family and the seekers accepted her fully.
Then her carrier carried again and gave birth her eight brothers on which she took particular care and refused to let them go to be 'inspected' by the shuttles since they were clearly seekers.
It was one night when they were dinning with her sire years later when Thundercracker started misbehaving and said behaviour had only risen with the night making her sire to lose patience and hit him so hard that he stamped him against the wall making her little brother look like a broken and bleeding doll.
The latter was enough to install fear in her spark for him, fear that he rejected them all fully and completely and will not hesitate in killing them; so she made sure her brothers understand that too...
...she will never give that mech a chance...because in her spark he never give her one too.
So far she couldn't understand how or why her carrier was with him.
...
Meanwhile Megatron went for the exit when spotting his mate and son there and landed near them.
"What happened? Where is Slipstream?" Optimus tried and Valour looked around for his friend.
"She wouldn't come with me and was away from my reach..." The Emperor said making Optimus lift an optic ridge in confusion. "She landed on a huge crystal dome and I believe if I touch it..."
The Prime gasped in horror before saying. "That is Primus' temple! It was made by Alpha Trion himself! If he ever knows is in danger of being broken...it will kill him!"
Megatron just shrugged before smirking at the idea making Optimus frown.
"Where is that? I'll go for her!" Valour said before running back inside without waiting for their answer.
"Slipstream?" he called, looking for her all around the beautiful building which towered above him. He eventually spotted her and rushed to a nearby pink blossom tree and used his thrusters to rapidly scale it.
"Slipstream," he exclaimed breathlessly reaching the top branches and hanging onto them as he examined the unhappy looking Femme Sparkling. "What are you doing up here?"
"Go away," she mumbled, burying her face in her knees.
"Slipstream," he said gently. "You can't stay up here all night."
She didn't reply, just stayed where he was.
"Will you come onto this tree with me?" he tried. "My grandsire built it."
"I don't care," Slipstream snapped. "He's a horrible old Mech."
"But it's really special to him," Valour stated. "He'd be really upset if it got broken, please come over here. I won't make you go home or anything."
"But you think I should talk to my Sire," she said bitterly."
"Well...," he said slowly. "Yeah, I think you should give him a chance."
"Why?" she demanded. "Not only did he beat my little brother, he's never stood up for me. He let his family hurt and belittle me and he did nothing. I don't know what my carrier sees in him, he's a wretched, cold Mech."
"Why don't you ask Starscream?" Valour asked reasonably. "And he could tell you why he still likes him. Maybe he knows something you don't."
"Like what?" she demanded furiously, her wings quivering with anger.
"I dunno," he admitted with a shrug. "That's why you should talk to him."
"I'll do what I want," she declared, standing up and making the surface what she was tinkle in warning.
"Slipstream!" Valour gasped just as the adults arrived below.
"Slipstream, get down this instant," Megatron commanded as Optimus looked worried. He could not imagine how his Sire would react if his precious building was in any way damaged, he would probably never forgive the little Seeker.
"You really don't mean that," Valour tried desperately trying to sound calm and kind. "Come over here, please... I understand if you don't wanna talk, so don't; please... Come over here."
The femmling seemed furious and ready to stomp onto the delicate glass surface before Valour cried. "Please! You don't have to go and talk to him right now... Come on, you're smarter than that."
In that moment Alpha Trion and Ultra Magnus appeared and the former gave a loud screech of horror at the sight of what was on top of his masterpiece...
...which in turn made Slipstream to look down at him with hateful optics before lifting up her leg. "Don't. You. Dare!" The eldest roared in warning.
"Apologise," Ultra Magnus commanded the old mech who looked at him with indignation.
"Why should I? I merely stated the truth!" He said before squeaking as he felt something grabbing his aft tightly as Ultra Magnus took him by the shoulders and hissed on his face so only he could hear him.
"Do it! Or not just only your precious dome will be broken... I will not hesitate to take you again in front of our son, grandson, his betrothed or the Decepticon emperor!"
Alpha Trion's optics widened in horror at the idea of being dominated in public like an animal! "You wouldn't dare!" He hissed back just before the other grabbed his codpiece tightly, however the elder's cape was preventing the others from seeing it...
...only that Optimus and Megatron knew what was happening and pulled horrified/shocked faces. "They wouldn't dare..." The young Autobot whispered trying hard to not believe he was going to see them again mating...in front of the sparklings nonetheless!
Megatron paled not even caring that the Autobot leader was going to show how he dominated the sire of his offspring, so he turned and called hurriedly to the seekerlet. "Slipstream! Hurry! Let's get out of here now! You too son!"
Said femmling frowned and looked down at the place the two eldest were before Alpha Trion gave a mild jump as his Magnus tightened his hold against his codpiece almost ripping it off. "Say you sorry for touching something is not your business!" The blue mech hissed as the other gasped without noticing Slipstream walked to the edge of the dome to see them better recognizing what they were doing...or were going to do.
"Are you going to dominate him?" She asked curiously. "Can I see?"
"NO!" Alpha Trion, Optimus and Megatron screamed at her before Magnus spoke again.
"You can, sweetspark...if he doesn't apologize..."
Two autobots and the emperor looked at the Magnus horrified before Optimus demanded. "Apologize!" closely followed by his mate who repeated it.
"Can I see it too?" Valour asked too curiously before the emperor and his consort frowned at the high councilmech.
"Definitely not," Optimus said in a calm but dark tone, glaring at both his creators to indicate that he would not be pleased if they mated in front of his son.
"Why not?" Valour asked innocently. "What are they going to do?"
"Absolutely nothing," Megatron exclaimed, firmly supporting his mate in this.
Ultra Magnus looked at Alpha Trion who looked unsure. Clearly, his son didn't want this, neither did the Emperor...but Ultra Magnus looked completely serious and the old Mech had a nasty feeling that he would follow through with his threat. So swallowing heavily, he managed to say.
"I'm sorry for upsetting you about your family, it was none of my business. Please come off my temple."
She actually looked a little disappointed that Ultra Magnus wasn't going to dominate him. Since he had apologised, willing or not, she supposed she couldn't now stamp on the dome, that definitely wasn't ladylike.
"Okay, I accept your apology," she said softly, raising into the air making the old Mech sign in relief although he was annoyed at both what she had done, Ultra Magnus's threat and the fact that she looked disappointed. He couldn't help but plot how he could get his own back for such humiliation.
She looked at Valour who was still hanging onto the tree branch and asked. "You want a lift down?"
"Please," he said with a nod, he wasn't so bad at getting into the air but getting down was a little trickier.
She smiled, flying over and lifting him up, before flying down to the ground. Optimus instantly gathered his son into his arms and hugged him, relieved to have him safe and sound. Megatron took Slipstream into his arms and said softly to his mate.
"I'd better take the children back home...can I see you again soon?"
Optimus looked at him before nodding.
"I'd like that," he said with a smile. "I enjoyed today."
"As did I," Megatron agreed, thinking in particular of their love making, it was the best they'd ever had because he knew Optimus had wanted it, pit, he was the one who initiated it. And Megatron had to admit it was rather hot that Optimus had made him do it, he would be happy for that to happen again even if he'd ended up in that fountain.
"Call me when you want to meet up, we can go anywhere you want," Megatron suggested, making Optimus nod.
"Thank you," he said simply before kissing his son and saying. "I'll see you soon sweetspark, be good for your Sire and mother."
"I will daddy," Valour agreed, hugging him back. "You should go and see a holovid with Sire, that's fun."
"I'll keep that in mind," Optimus laughed as he handed his son over. "You'd better go before it gets too late."
They all said their goodbyes and Megatron flew off with the children. Optimus watched them go before looking back at his creators.
"That went well," he said softly, making Ultra Magnus smirk.
"You looked like you had a very good time with your mate."
"I did," Optimus agreed, ignoring the jab. "It went much better than I thought it could. I think this can work, our relationship."
"I'm happy for you son," Ultra Magnus said warmly before saying. "Why don't we all have dinner together later?"
"I'd enjoy that," Optimus agreed. "If you don't mind, I think I'll go and have a lie down."
"That's fine," Ultra Magnus said as Alpha Trion suddenly looked a little nervous. He would soon be alone with the Mech who'd just threatened to take him publicly.
And just as the thought run by his processor and his son walked away, and Alpha Trion looked at his back with pleading optics, Ultra Magnus came behind him and his chest touched his back.
The oldest jumped and almost gave an embarrassing squeak turning around to find a lustful look on his Magnus's optics and a growing smirk.
"N- no...," He tried as the blue mech walked closer and closer...
...and closer!
"Come on, Trion...you always enjoy it..."
"Not after you humiliated me in front of...of everyone!" He roared but that didn't stopped the younger from stepping closer.
"Me? Humiliate you? No, my dear Trion... I saved your temple... How about a...reward?" Purred the Magnus making the other pull a horrified face before turning on his pedes and run for his life.
"Never...!" He screamed as he ran away making Ultra Magnus grin widely and chase after him.
"Aww, come on, at least the rest of the council wasn't there..." Replied the younger as he almost caught the old mech who turned into a corner and escaped him once again.
For an old mech like Alpha Trion he was quite fast when in possible danger...and somehow for Ultra Magnus it was better to chase him like this, it will make things better...sweeter...
...something deep in his core was also enjoying this.
...
Sometime later...
Kaon palace...
Medbay...
"Mama!" Valour called as he ran towards her arms which embraced him quickly once in them.
"Awww sweetspark!" Red Alert said lovingly hugging him to his chest before asking him. "How was your day?"
"Good, we went to Crystal Mall and grandsire brought me some nice things!" He exclaimed excitedly.
"Crystal Mall? That sounds nice!" She said a little doubtful. "Anything else? How is your carrier?"
"Grandsire will teach me and Slipstream how to be snobby...oh...and daddy seems to be okay too...he forgives sire," The mechling answered making his mother frown.
"What...snobby?" Asked the medic.
"Yeah," Valour said with a nod. "We saw these high ranking Autobot sparklings, they didn't smile, they looked like they were judging. And you're meant to walk like this."
He demonstrated for his mother by walking in the way Alpha Trion had been trying to teach him. She watched him in amazement, she wasn't an expert but her son looked quite dignified when he walked like that. However, when he turned and gave her the expression she'd sometimes noticed on rather stuck up Sparklings of senators and other high ranking bots, she couldn't help but snort with laughter.
"I see what you mean now," she laughed as Valour's expression crumbled into laughter as well. "That does look a little snobby."
"Why are they snobby?" Valour questioned as his mother hugged him again. "It doesn't seem polite not to smile."
"I'm not sure sweetling," she told him gently. "But I doubt all of them are like that, I'm sure some of them would smile at you."
"That would be nice," he said before saying. "Mama, can I ask you something?"
"Of course, what is it?" she asked.
"Grandpa Magnus said he wanted to dominate Grandpa Trion," he explained as her optics widened. "What did he mean?"
"Well...ah...," she stammered while mentally thinking that she would happily set her Sire on Ultra Magnus if he said such a thing in front of her son again.
...
"Tion, where are you?" Ultra Magnus called as he wandered through an orchard where he knew the older Mech was hiding. Primus but that old Mech could move when he wanted to. But he would surely tire soon and then Magnus would be able to catch him.
"Come on, there's no body about," the Autobot leader called again. "All the groundskeepers are in their homes, we're completely private."
There was no reply but he knew Alpha Trion had heard him and was nearby. He smirked, this was rather fun, he never would have expected to do something like this but he was enjoying it far too much to stop. And he was sure that the other Mech enjoyed it just as much, he simply didn't want to admit it.
"Trion...?" He practically singed each letter as he called his hidden prey while his sensors picked something...
...a hurried sparkbeat nearby.
The Magnus smirked devilishly before being guided by said sound... his pedes working hard to not make a sound while he turned another route to surprise the mech right from his back so he will not escape.
Alpha Trion meanwhile was living the scariest moment ever...that mech...his own Magnus was chasing him to...to take him again!
Well, he really enjoyed it...but still...he still could not believe that Magnus could be so...passionate and knew how to touch him...!
The older mech could hear silence now and wondered if the garden was free form the blue mech, however he knew that was impossible, Ultra Magnus never gave up on anything! That is what made him Magnus after all-
"Gotcha!"
The councilmech screamed and jumped as a pair of heavy hands landed on his waist from behind and pulled him towards a massive and warm chest...a chest he knew way too well.
"No...no!" He tried to get free as the other held him still and strongly no matter how much or hard he struggled...and now a hand was poking at his panel!
...and somehow said treacherous panel opened revealing his quickly lubricating valve.
"See, Trion? You want this..." The younger purred as his now fully erect spike poked against his entrance having as only obstacle the cape of the other.
"N- no...," He tried once again as his valve reacted and clenched to the warming and burning spike behind it as the other removed his cape and set him on the ground on his front.
"Yesss..." Ultra Magnus purred as his spike found the entrance and rubbed his head against it making the other gasp and move his hips upwards granting him full access to himself...
And with a slow, teasing thrust Magnus was inside making Alpha Trion groan in blissful pleasure as his valve welcomed and pulled the delicious intruder deeper in its tight embrace.
"You see? You like it...as much as I like you to behave with our guests and never speak about things that are not your business..." The Magnus teased without moving an inch causing the other to just nod and accept what the other ordered only to have him moving a little.
"I won't do it again," Alpha Trion gasped, needing Magnus to start moving. "I promise I won't upset the Sparklings again."
"Good," Magnus said firmly, giving a thrust which made his partner moan in ecstasy. "Because they don't deserve to be put down like that."
"Can we discuss this later?" the older Mech begged, he couldn't take this lack of thrusting when that large spike was inside him and stimulating him madly.
"What's the magic word?" Magnus purred making Alpha Trion tremble and mumbled. "Please..."
"Much better," Magnus said smugly as he braced himself and began to thrust in earnest making Alpha Trion cry and moan with pleasure. With great amusement, Magnus thought how if anyone was walking past, they would think it was a young Mech with a talented pleasurebot, not two old, distinguished high ranking Autobots. Even Megatron's Seekers would probably be a little taken about.
But never mind that, he had a councilmech to thoroughly frag.
...
"There we go sweetspark," Starscream said softly as he settled his daughter in her berth. "Sleep well, my princess."
She mumbled before rolling over slightly, wings quivering. He smiled, kissing her head before leaving the room, switching the light off as he did so. What a cycle she'd had, seeing the Emperor and his mate reunited, instructed into Autobot etiquette by that old reprobate Alpha Trion and then seeing her Sire. No wonder the little thing was tired out.
"What a day," he murmured, heading into his bedroom only to find that he had an awaiting call. Curiously, he accepted it and came face to face with his erstwhile mate.
"Skyfire," he said in surprise although he had a feeling he knew why he was calling.
"Starscream," the large Shuttle said in a measured tone. "How are you?"
"Very well and you?" Starscream replied with a nod.
"I am well," Skyfire replied, hesitating before saying. "I...saw our daughter today at the Crystal Mall. You did not tell me she was betrothed."
"It's not set in stone," Starscream explained. "And...a lot has happened recently, major things actually, I'm sorry I didn't tell you."
"It is alright," Skyfire said, his optics revealing curiosity. "High councilmech Alpha Trion said she was learning how to be an Autobot noble lady. Is...that true?"
"It would appear so," Starscream said with a shrug. "Her betrothed Valour wishes to learn and it would impress his family if she also learned. Does that bother you?"
"No," he said. "It would be good to see...another lady flier once more. I don't suppose I will get to see it."
Starscream sighed, his daughter had once again stated that she didn't want to see her Sire all thanks to a couple of incidents in the past. First Skyfire not knowing how to bond properly with his daughter and thus, not able to come properly to her defense against his family and then accidentally hurting one of her brothers. Starscream believed he had reached the mech deep within the shuttle, the one who was kind, encouraging and a pleasure to be with. However thanks to his upbringing, not a lot of others saw that, the Shuttle came off as cold and distant.
For Starscream it had helped that he wanted to get to know the true Mech and that Skyfire himself had been attracted to the Seeker. They had defied Skyfire's family to mate and produce their beautiful offspring but Skyfire hadn't managed to break off all ties and was restricted by them.
"I would like you to be more involved," Starscream told him. "But Sky, you must make the effort if you want to win Slipstream over, she would help your sons like you if you succeeded."
It really did grieve him that all his children feared their own Sire when it was undeserved.
"I'm not sure, Star...she... She fears me and... I believe there is something else there...like... Does she hates me?" The shuttle tried and Starscream's optics widened in surprise.
"If course not!" The seeker answered quickly. "She doesn't hates you... She just fears to suffer the same her brother suffered, that's all."
Skyfire's mood darkened and he looked at Starscream sadly. "There's something else... I believe she hasn't forgiven me yet for being a coward and not defending her against my creators."
Starscream grimaced. Skyfire was intelligent so lie to him with this will mean insulting his intelligence. "She's still young and can forgive you if you try to win her over...ignore your family, you want her to forgive YOU, not them."
Silence followed as both fliers processed that.
...
Sometime later...
Iacon...
Alpha Trion walked towards the meeting hall as the huge doors opened and several other council members directed their gazes towards him.
The eldest tried to not look aback to have them all looking at him at the same time...and it was more than just respect looks...it was curious looks.
"Oh, Alpha Trion!" Senator Xaaron exclaimed pleased to see him and practically gaping at his frame. "You look good; Primus, you have to tell us your secret to keep yourself so healthy and in shape."
Alpha Trion only nodded not even paying attention to the other's adulations as he continued. "I bet you will be with us for another millennia," Xaaron chuckled and this time Alpha Trion interrupted him.
"What is the reason you're all standing and praising me? Something's the matter?"
Everyone tensed and looked at each other in worry not knowing how to deliver this news. "Well..." Xaaron started before Ultra Magnus entered holding a datapad and a grim expression.
"What does this means that we lost three members...three of the best recruits of our academy off world and only one survived?! Explain! whose responsibility was this?!" Their warrior leader demanded as the others stared.
"They were going to be introduced into the Elites! Tell me how three of my best Autobots got missing!"
Alpha Trion looked at the gathered mechs that now looked tense just before once again Xaaron spoke for them. "At least Sentinel Prime is back..."
"What happened to the others?!" Roared the Magnus making all those old respected mechs to flinch. He really looked threatening like this.
"Well," Xaaron spoke hesitantly. "It would appear that when they investigated an unknown planet, they ran into some trouble."
"What kind of trouble?" Magnus demanded furiously.
"Some kind of organic monsters," Xaaron stated nervously. "They tried to fight their way out but only Sentinel Prime managed to get out, the others perished it seems."
"It seems?" Magnus repeated. "You mean you don't know for sure their gone!?"
"Sentinel Prime stated he could not locate any of their spark signatures," Xaaron explained. "But...he didn't actually find any bodies..."
"So there's a chance they still live," Magnus concluded grimly. "I want an investigation launched immediately, we will discover exactly what happened and their fates. Where is Sentinel Prime?"
"Uh...in the Med Bay I think," Xaaron stated, still speaking on the others behalf.
"Right, I want to know everything he knows," Magnus commanded before turning and heading for the exit.
"Magnus, where are you going?" Alpha Trion called, running after him after gesturing to the others to do as they'd been commanded.
"I'm going to contact the Emperor," Magnus said grimly. "His territory is a lot larger than ours, some of his people might have encountered this planet before. If not, well, we might need his help in rescuing those bots."
"Why his help?" Alpha Trion questioned.
"Because if those really are monsters, we're going to need some big, tough fighters," was the reply.
They continued for a few more paces before Ultra Magnus came to a dead stop, his optics widening in horror.
"Magnus?" Alpha Trion said in confusion as Magnus said. "Optimus...he knew those bot, they were his friends. If things had been different, he'd have probably gone with them...Primus, he's going to be devastated when he learns of what happened."
"Need we tell him?" Alpha Trion questioned and Magnus nodded.
"Yes, I'm not going to keep something like this from my son, I just hope he doesn't have a relapse," Magnus said sadly. "What a thing to happen, they were all so talented, even that new recruit Wasp..."
"I'm...sorry Magnus," Alpha Trion said awkwardly, this had really affected the Magnus. "Is it bad I'm glad our son wasn't there?"
"No, that's how every creator feels," Magnus said with a small smile before leaning forward and kissing the surprised Mech.
"I'll make a caring bot out of you yet," teased Magnus, giving him a wink which made the other blush and mumble.
"Shall...shall we get on?" Alpha Trion said, wondering if it was his relationship with the Magnus that was causing others to compliment his appearance. Did he really look that good?
...
"How are you today, darling?" Optimus asked with a smile as Red Alert held up her son to the view screen.
"Great daddy," he said with a beam. "Where's grandpa and grandda?"
"Busy with their duties I believe," Optimus told him. "You'll see them soon enough I'm sure. How is your Sire?"
"Good, he wants me to eat with him later," Valour told him. "I've got duties as well today, I'll need to go soon."
"Great, sweetspark, I'm so happy for you." Optimus beamed just before a servant came behind him and whispered something in his audio; he nodded and then directed himself back to the screen. "I got to go now, Red, thank you once again...and sweetspark, I'll see you again soon."
"Is always my pleasure, Optimus," She said before Valour said. "Bye daddy."
The call was cut and Optimus followed the servant to the garden in which his carrier was waiting for him.
"Son," The Magnus started holding a grim expression...almost gloom.
Optimus frowned before reaching for him and asked. "What's wrong?"
Something indeed was wrong as the ambient felt tense; dread filled his spark at the idea of what might have happened...
...did Megatron broke the truce?
Ultra Magnus came and hugged him watching his terrified and haunted blue optics as if guessing what the other was thinking. "Is ok, Optimus... This have nothing to do with Megatron..." The younger looked up at him with wide optics as if pleading for an answer. "Is about some of our best recruits being lost in space...and only Sentinel Prime came out alive."
Optimus' optics widened further, after all is been a while since the last time he had a conversation with Elita about the matter...
...and she said that Sentinel, their Prime was too puffed on and almost never heard recommendations...
...could it be? Can he be responsible for their lost?
"W- what did he said?" Optimus tried and his carrier nodded.
"That they went exploring a certain planet and suddenly this strange techno-organic creatures attacked them and that Hot Rod told him to flee since he will use himself as a distraction for the creatures. He also said that some of his memories are blurry and he cannot remember much; the ship was also damaged and we cannot say for sure exactly where was located that planet," Magnus concluded and Optimus frowned.
"So, there are no corpses?" He tried hopefully watching his carrier shake his head. "And Sentinel 'can't remember' the exact location of the planet?" this time his carrier nodded.
"I know you and Sentinel interacted before so you must know him better than me or what his impeccable records say...what can you tell me about him?"
Optimus frowned; he really loved his friends and that included Sentinel...but he also knew that there was something else there, he didn't wanted to speak poorly of his friend. "I don't know...what else did he said?"
Magnus nodded. "He said that he didn't went far and that couldn't feel their spark signatures so he returned here for help, however he said he was too damaged that set the auto pilot and let it drive for him until he was here... He also said it was Elita One's idea to check on that planet."
The younger mech's optics widened at that but still kept quiet trying to protect his friend against his will; however Magnus continued.
"Why would he, being their superior obey a minor?" His carrier just couldn't get it. "Something's wrong here... I know they were your friends and maybe you want to protect Sentinel from something you know...but those bots can still be alive somewhere and in danger waiting for a rescue!"
Optimus lowered his head and shook it. "I believe you need to talk to Megatron...and..." He hesitated, his spark hurting for his friend's possible betrayal and crime. "Ask for Soundwave..."
"What, who, why...what?" The Magnus tried to catch up what his son meant by that not knowing what soundwave or whatever was just before this one felt cold and blacked out again. "Optimus!"
At least he caught him just before he can fall on the ground.
"My poor son," Magnus said sadly, cradling his Sparkling to his chest. "I'll do as you ask."
First he took him to his quarters before asking a servant to look after his son and once that was done, he quickly headed to a console. He waited anxiously to speak to the Emperor.
Author's note. Sentinel is investigated and an expedition is sent to Archna Seven but what do they find there? Find out next time, until then.
