✬ AFTER THE EXILED ✬

Megatron thought that fate was playing a joke on him. Why did this happen to him? Ever since he was banished from Orion--no Optimus Prime from Iacon after starting a war there. he was betrayed by someone he loved and trusted so much. Why didn't Orion look at him anymore? He didn't mean to shoot him! He was angry and betrayed after what Sentinel had done to him and to the others.

He will never fall in love again, ever. Perhaps, they were never meant to be together. Maybe it is fate after all. Their relationship ended the moment Orion converted into a Prime himself. This war was the only start. 

Megatron knew that it was all Sentinel's fault; he betrayed his people, himself, and those around him. he made him pay his own price when he had ripped his body apart, drowned in rage, and murdered. It was all he could think of. He was a gladiator; he had known his way around battle when he used to be thrown there. It was his own sire who paid the price when he had provoked Sentinel Prime to his face. And now, where does it all end up..

Terminus was important to him; he had no other family. just his own child, D-16, and himself. Now, he was gone. dead as his spark was snuffed out. Megatron remembered the pure feeling of grief as he watched his own sire die, slumped in his arms as his whole body went grey. 

That's the moment when he finallly have enough.

After being banished from Iacon, Megatron has taken shelter with Soundwave, Shockwave, and the other Decepticons in the cave. The cave was dim, dark, and cold. But that was all worth it. Soon, they'll have a place of their own, and until then, no more conflict, no Autobot coming to attack them. He was awake at night, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't need to. He just needs to watch over, just in case the Autobots decide to come. 

"Megatron: not tired?" Megatron heard Soundwave, the blue cassette bot sat beside him, glancing at him. "Megatron: should go rest for now, Soundwave will keep watch.." he said. He always knew what Megatron was thinking of. hence that he was his second in command. 

Megatron huffed. "I am alright... I couldn't sleep.." he murmured. "Go rest, Soundwave.. It'll be fine.." he assured his men, waving his servo dismissively.

"If Megatron so sure.." Soundwave rasped, standing up from the floor, dusting himself off as he strode to where the other Decepticons were resting.

–Megatron and his people managed to find a ship, an old massive ship that was tracked by Soundwave himself. Trypticon was a fierce titan himself; something must have happened that caused him to transform into a ship. Megatron thought that he was a fine ship, though he didn't talk much, but he could communicate through the screen and open and close the door. He traced his servos over the line of Trypticon's body inside. 

He hummed, Trypticon won't do. Perhaps, he could call him by a different name if the titan so wished to change it up. "I could name you a better name, my dear ship.." he smiled. "Nemesis.." he said. 

The screen pinged with a smiley face; it seemed that he had liked the new name he was given. He was in stasis for so many years, and now he was awakened by a group of Decepticons. 

The war has begun, and Vos have allied themselves with them. It soon became a massacre when their city fell, and all of the seekers came to Megatron's aid. The winglord, Skytempest, has fallen, and his son, Stormranger, and the winglord's grandchild, Thundercracker and Slipstream, were still alive after the fall of Vos. Stormranger was in charge of all of his Seekers; he was the winglord next in line after his sire's death. 

Megatron never thought that the Autobots would stoop so low as to strike Vos, the most elegant crystal city ever. The battle has been going on for years, and Megatron won't stop until he succeeds with his people. 

The war has continued on for a long time; the whole place was struck down and destroyed, and Iacon was in ruins. Vos, Polyhex, Kaon, and Tarn, including Praxus, Helex.  

–Until that crash from an unknown planet, of course. Megaton didn't know how that happened, but he remembered that they were still fighting, both Nemesis and the Ark crashed right through what was called "Earth" or whatever it was called. They went into stasis for so many years, and finally, they have woken from Teletraan-one.

They left right after, before the Autobot could wake up, and it was all thanks to Soundwave for getting them to wake up. Unfortunately, Shockwave wasn't present. seeing that he was too busy getting the group of Autobots that were led by Elita-one. 

"Megatron: Okay?.." Soundwave, ever the worrisome bot. he was a carrier himself; he had cared for his cassette children. He had noticed Megatron stopped and almost fell; the warlord wasn't feeling well, and his head was spinning. 

Megatron huffed. "Yes, I will be fine.." he said. "Nemesis is right this way, we should go.. we don't want our friend waiting.." he smiled, preferring Trypticon, Megatron shouldn't have left him there when he first crashed, and now he was at the bottom of the ocean. How he ended up there was beyond his comprehension; he wanted to know whoever led Trypticon should be fine for this. 

He and his Decepticons fixed around the place of Nemesis's, the whole other room was a bit damaged from the fire and the collision. Stormranger stood beside him, steady on his own balance. "What should we do now we're awake?..." Ranger questioned his partner, glancing at the chorrider and the bot around them. 

"Since we're fully functional from our roused from Teletraan.. I have just the right idea.." he called out to Soundwave. He knew what to do since both Megatron and him known each other for so long.

"Laserbeak: eject," Soundwave commanded. She came out of his storage and onto his arm as she gripped her little feet on him. 

Megatron murmured to her. "Fly out there and see what the Autobots are up to, in the meanwhile, come back when you discover something.." He ordered, watching as she flew out of the Nemesis and far to the desert. Even when Megatron had woken from his state of stasis, he still felt dizzy. almost as if he wanted to throw up, he completely ignored the feeling and focused on the mission. There's no need for hesitation, now that the war is still starting. 

It seems like the Autobots have allied themselves with a little bug who are called "Human", Megatron thought that Optimus must have bashed his head after getting revived by the Ark. Really, they were protecting the humans, and Megatron damaged the humans' place where they had worked. Unfortunately, Optimus always came in time. He always does. 

When they both fought again on the top of the bridge, it was always the same, as always. Optimus always says the same dang speech word for years, and it didn't change one bit; perhaps Megatron didn't want it to change. Perhaps he wanted to hear the raspy, deep sound that Optimus had made, which soothed him wholly. 

He hates that puppy-eyed look that Orion-Optimus gives him when he has done something. But he finds comfort in it all the same, even with that stupid truck mode he has. Megatron decided to become a gun, but Stormranger said that won't even do after all. So, his new alt mod was a flyer like the other seekers. But it was more..a bit bulky to the side. 

Who knew that having a flyer mode was better than a gun?..

–Something was wrong; he didn't have any idea what was going on. His body aches, he seems like he runs on a high fever, and he feels nauseous. It was the fourth time he threw up this week. He thought eating more would ease his stomachache. Oh, how wrong he was. 

He was on the floor of the washrack, exhausted after throwing up. He let the water run over his frame as he relaxed against the wall. He breathes in slowly, his tank feels a bit better, but the feeling of nausea is still there. 

"Megatron: not feeling well.." Soundwave spoke. He stepped into the room and helped Megatron up from the floor. Megatron sighed. "I'm alright, it's just my tank being upset.." he assured his friends. Soundwave shook his head, not convinced. "Megatron: sick for weeks.." he points out. "Soundwave will help you through the medbay.." he said. 

Megatron supposed he could not convince his old friends, but Soundwave always knows what's up.       

As Megatron and Soundwave strode out of the room, Stormranger pressed against the wall. His leg was on the wall as he glanced at them with his arm crossed. "Again?.." he knew too. "This is the fourth time you throw up this time.." he sighed. 

Megatron sneered."I don't need both of your fussing today.." he was tired; Soundwave and Stormranger were always there when something was clearly wrong. Stormranger stared sternly at him. "Oh? So, you want us to leave you alone when you're not feeling well?.." he frowned, narrowing his optics. "Absolutely not.." he said.

"You're our leader, you were the one who helped my people out of here when our city was destroyed by the Autobots.." he scowled, backing off the wall. he walked toward them. "So, it's our turn to help you out.."

Megatron huffed. "Fine, be my guest.." he let himself be guided by both of his trusted friends.

Megatron was sparked. sparked.. and he knew who the sire was. Of course he does! How could he be so reckless?..

"Well, in my estimate calculation.. You were Spark before being banished. If I was correct, then the little one must have been in stasis along with you when the crash happened. " Hook rubbed his chin. "It was a miracle how the little one survived.." He points out. 

Stormranger and Soundwave were quiet, really quiet. Megatron sat there on the berth as he listened to Hook's rambling; he could feel Soundwave's tiny bit of judgment. It wasn't his fault that he have interface with Optimus rawly! Can't Soundwave be nicer about this?...

"No need to say much, Hooks.." Megatron said as he fiddled with his finger, he was complicated. "We already know.."

Hook stopped and hummed. "Very well, just remember, Lord Megatron. You have to take your medicine, fuel, and take care of yourself.." he narrowed his gaze as if knowing what the warlord is gonna do. "Also, no fighting. that'll strain you and the newspark," he warned. 

What does Hook think Megatron is? a hooligan?

When the three of them left the medbay, Soundwave didn't say much while Stormranger rambled about his plan for the sparkling, Megatron didn't mind that his audial would be full of chatter. He just wanted to be distracted after all. He couldn't be in battle anymore, he wondered what the decepticons will think of now that he was sparked..

"Megatron: should rest for now.." Of course, Soundwave would say that.

"Indeed, we'll help out any way we can.." Stormranger smiled. "I know a lot about taking care of a sparkling, hence I have Thundercracker and Slipstream with me.." the old seeker sighed. Soundwave nodded in agreement. He, too, knew how to care for one also. Soundwave has many children of his own. Megatron trusts them anyway. 

--In his dorm room, he felt exhausted, his body slumped when he finally lay flat on his bed. He closed his optics for a moment, the image clear and revealed Optimus, he open his optics quickly and sighed as he turned around. Optimus always comes to mind, and he cannot get rid of it.. he rest his servos on his chassis, feeling his sparkling inside. Then, he felt a ton of emotion coming from his little one; they were eager to feel him. he huffed and smiled. "Impatient, are you?.." he said. "I can't wait to meet you as well, by the time you're here. I'll teach you all the types of things..." he chuckled. 

Megatron have listen to the medic's instructions; he never engaged in the battle, he remembered to fuel and take medication as always. His people have found out the moment he was feeling different, they respond with a positive emotion, they protect him because he was their leader, and they couldn't wait to meet their lord's heir.

He felt heavy and slow. Well, it was expected because his own sparkling was using his energy a lot. And sometimes it causes him to be moody and all different types of things. He couldn't complain; it wasn't their fault that they were completely dependent on him. 

He have love his sparkling so much, even if they belong to his enemy (who was once his friend, his lover...), he would, oh so spoil them once they're out to meet him. Perhaps he was not the only one who was almost impatient. He had talked to them every single time, murmured to them with his voice as he hummed. he was getting too soft, and he knew it.

Soundwave and Stormranger help him in any way they can by teaching him how to hold a sparkling, how to feed them, how to know if they're distressed, and all of these types of things. The first time he tried to do it as they taught him, he held Frenzy in the wrong way. He held him by his feet when Frenzy was upside down. Though the little bot didn't mind, in fact, he was having fun. 

That perhaps shows them Megatron will be a good carrier for his own sparkling.

✬THE STAR✬

He had come-- his little star in his hands, he was so tiny and premature. He wasn't meant to come early, and yet, he did. he was glad to see him. he got his sire's color, but Megatron's optics, which made the warlord swoon lovingly. He has got his wing nub, Megatron didn't know how it was possible that his sparkling was born as a seeker, maybe it's something to do with his alt mode. But his little star screamed so loud when he was born, which is a good thing. 

He has called him "Starscream" because of the way he shows the world himself. he was very fussy and picky for his own good. And that's his sparkling. He couldn't believe that he gave birth to this one. He was his world and his life. And no one will ever take that from him; he has lost his sire, and now he has Starscream. He wishes his sire could have stayed longer and seen his grandchild. he really does..

Starscream starts to get spoiled by Megatron's people; the seekers sometimes come to see him, and they clearly adore him. The other Decepticons went to give him a little gift of a chew ball if he ever gets teething, a crystal shard that could light up. 

He was the reason the whole room changed because of them.

Stormranger has brought his two children to meet Starscream and the other seekers as well. Thundercracker glanced with curiosity while Slipstream didn't pay any interest in him. The other seekerlings glanced as well. The purple seekerling came closer and stood beside Thundercracker with interest, too. 

Megatron has a feeling that the three of them will soon be friends...

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .*:☆ﾟ. ───

"Why am I not allowed to go with you?" Starscream huffed. He is not so little anymore. He sat on his carrier's lap, he was a bit heavy but small on his carrier's lap while his carrier was busy with his datapad, which was surveilled by Soundwave regarding the battle plan. Megatron sighed, patting Starscream's head. 

"Because it is dangerous for you.." Megatron printed a kiss on Starscream's head. Starscream huffed and rolled his optics. "But.. I wanna help you!.." He whined. "I was very good at doing science stuff, math, and a ton of things!.." He pointed out that he was smart for his age. "Plus, I know more about the battle and Shockwave, Stormranger, and Soundwave taught me!" Obviously they do..

Megatron chuckled, not convinced. "That's why you're needed here, not in this battlefield.." he patted his head once more before pulling him down to the floor as Starscream frowned up at him. 

The warlord chuckled at his sparkling's frown face, he was adorable for his own age, and clearly he got that stubbornness from his sire, obviously. 

"Why don't you go and play with Stormranger's sparkling and that little purple one?.." Megatron said. "Besides, you really like them.." he pointed out. He knew Starscream was acting like that just to be with his carrier, but Megatron knew that Starscream liked them. Perhaps Stormranger was right that they could perhaps trine together soon in the future. 

Starscream huffed. "Them?.." he rolled his optics. "Skywarp is rowdy! And I don't know why Thundercracker is always close to me!.." He crossed his arms, pouting. 

"But, they're your friend, are they not?" Megatron smirked knowingly. "Now-- go on," He ordered. Starscream stomped his little feet in frustration and stormed off to the other side of the room.

Primus, he didn't expect his child to be so stubborn like his sire...

.

The desert of the area has erupted with just yelling, insults, and the sound of bodies crashing and clashing together as they fought side by side. At the top of the mountain stood Optimus and Megatron as they dodged each other's moves, fighting to the death. Down below was the Decepticons fighting with the Autobots, Stormranger complied along with Soundwave as the cassette player released his children. Rumble and Frenzy were chaotic one, going after each other for blood as if they hadn't fought for years, and yet, they were itching to do so. 

Laserbeak blasts at any Autobots, while Ravage manages to bite one of them. 

As the battle continued on, Optimus could barely avoid Megatron's move. The warlord have punch his face down to the ground with his fist, he hasn't used his cannon yet. Luckily, Optimus got up before Megatron could attack again. Both of them are using their weapon on each other to bring each other down. 

In an instant, Megatron couldn't properly process what had happened. Optimus has damaged his cannon, and now the cannon is broken. Megatron only have to use his fist, but it wasn't a fair fight because Optimus only got to use his axe. 

He does the only thing that could be reasonable, for him and his Decepticons.

He ordered a retreat and left with them...

.

.

.

Starscream didn't know what was going on; he wasn't allowed to leave. And unfortunately, he has to stay at the base with Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Slipstream with the others. He hates that Hook was trying to distract him from the situation, and the fact that his friends were also distracting him!

When his carrier finally came back from the battle, he found that his cannon was damaged! He didn't need to ask for obvious evidence; he could see it in his servos. His carrier has no cannon anyway, nothing to defend him from the prime. But Starscream have other plan up his sleeve. 

He could show his carrier that he's very useful!..

.

.

.

There some thing in the world that could surprise Megatron the most.

But what shocks him more is that he have witness his own child building a cannon for him as a gift. As a gift! He knew he shouldn't dismiss his instinct the moment when Starscream said he wanted to have his own lab for experimentation. This area could have harmed him, and yet, he wasn't hurt; he had bypassed it. 

Megatron knew that his sparkling was very smart; he didn't expect him to be this smart!

Now he has a brief talk with Shockwave regarding Starscream's future. Shockwave rubbed his chin as if in thought, then he began to talk. "Interesting.. It seems my theory was right the whole time.." he said. 

Megatron paused and glanced. "Your theory?.." he raised his eyebrows. Oh, he hoped Shockwave wasn't experimenting on his child! else, he would ban him away from Starscream...

"I remember teaching him some subjects that indicated about Science and Math, "he explained. "What surprises me is that his grade level managed to surpass what other sparkling have in their knowledge.." 

Megatron hummed in thought. He can't deny that Shockwave was right. If Starscream were truly as smart as he is, then it is obvious that he wanted to be part of this. But Megatron prevents him from being involved; his child won't ever be sabotaged by the Autobot. 

No, he'll have to protect his child. He won't be a Decepticon unless he earns the right to it and proves to him that he can take care of himself..

☆★☆★→CAN I SEE YOU TONIGHT?←☆★☆★

When Starscream was now old enough, the others could hardly tell if he was a young adult or a child. because really, he was very small and it could be of a premature state when he was borna nd now it take long time for him to reach his trinemate's height, which is infuriating to him. Skywarp sometimes made a joke about his height and his weight, how small he was compared to him! He'll show them that he can grow! They just need to be patient. That's what his carrier said.

Now he was throwing his tantrum outside of the base, if his carrier saw that, he would grab his audial and yell at him for being outside without his trine. But that didn't matter to him!

He clutches the crystal tightly in his servos. He wanted to experiment with something if it was possible to harvest this one on Earth. Human and their planet were always fascinating to him, that's why he was very curious. His wings twitch with the air; it wasn't cold nor hot. on a normal temperature, which could be a good thing if he decided to plant it right there. 

He immediately stopped when he heard a stick break from the other direction. He quickly loaded up his nullray and fired. He could hear a yelp from the other side, which meant that someone was spying on him. He pointed his weapon at the person and walked toward them. He could see what they looked like clearly.

And Primus, he was huge. He was beyond scared, as if that never actually happened to him. His frame was the color of snow, and a bit of blue and red. Starscream could recognise a shuttle frame when he saw one. 

But, he shouldn't trust this one. This one has no symbol on him, which means he's a neutral!

"Stay right there, who are you?.." he demanded, as the shuttled fumble with his word. For a big guy he is, he could be useful. 

The shuttle breathes in and begins to speak. "J-Jetfire.. I–saw that you were holding a crystal fauna, I thought those types of things were extinct!.." he said nervously. "Please-- don't shoot me.." he whispered. 

Starscream lowers his gun slowly. "You're a scientist?.. a civilian wouldn't recognise that unless they're a scientist.." he said. "Why didn't you say so?.." he huffed, annoyed that he scared off the shuttle. 

He holds out his servos, waiting for Jetfire to grab them. And goodness, he was very heavy that Starscream almost fell off. 

"Just what are you doing wandering around?.. you're a neutral, right?.." Starscream asked curiously. 

Jetfire smiled. "That I am.." he said. "I was looking for a place to stay in, I haven't encountered another cybertronian for millennia.." he sighed. 

Starscream pondered in thought, finally he have a idea to help the white shuttle out. "Megatron could help you out! In fact, he has many people with him.." he said proudly as he puffed his chest, of course, his carrier was the best and he was the leader! He can't call Megatron, carrier to a stranger. 

Jetfire nodded. "In that case, guide me.." he said softly.

Oh, Starscream tended to do that. He has a feeling that he'll undoubtedly be friends with this one; he's a scientist too, which is great!

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .*:☆ﾟ. ───

Megatron didn't trust the big shuttle, not even at first glance anyway. This one will have to earn his way into the Decepticons if he wants to be useful. The good part is that he's a scientist, what Starscream said. 

"Are you sure that he's trustworthy?.." Megatron huffed, analysing Jetfire.

"Come on, Megatron! Think about it.. Shockwave is on Cybertron.." Starscream smiled. "You could have three scientists in your servos!.." he suggested.

Megatron hummed. That wasn't a terrible idea. Jetfire could actually be useful. no matter how much Megatron tried to deny. he suppose he cannot say no to his own sparkling, can he?...

Stormranger smirked and shrugged as he stood steadily beside his lord. He knew Megatron was really protective, and he couldn't fault him for that. "Have faith, my old friend.." Stormranger said. "The little lord knows what to do..." he joked as he giggled. 

Megatron furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't see the amusement in this.." he said, frowning.

"Megatron: too overbearing.." soundwave point out. "Starscream: is not a child anymore, you should let him be what he wants to be.." he said.

The warlord huffed, annoyed that he was singled out by his two trust ally. "Of course, you would say that.." He murmured. 

So on, Starscream won the arguement and he could work with Jetfire; Megatron couldn't take that passion away from him, it's what his child deserves the most. When they both work together, they undoubtedly become friends. Skywarp would sometimes tease him while Thundercracker didn't mind much of the white shuttle, and the decepticons have trusted him. 

Starscream couldn't wait to show him everything in his lab, so he did, and as expected, Jetfire was fascinated, and he liked it. It could be his own lab as well, as they work together. 

At the dink of the night, where the chorrider are so clear, the sound of soothing sleep and snored have made the atmophere was calm. Starscream couldn't rest, so he sat on the top of Nemesis' building. The Nemesis was like his home, and no bot could ever take that away from him.

"Can't sleep either?.." Jetfire said as he sat beside him, which startled Starscream, but he smiled at him. "Yes, looking at the views makes me calm.." Starscream murmured.

"Yeah, looking at it tended to do that.." he glanced at Starscream without realising, dazed in the seeker's views of the seeker.

Starscream glanced back, confused. "Is there something in my face?.." he asked. He didn't understand why his friend was looking at him like that, and that worried him. 

Jetfire stopped glancing; he was blushing in embarrassment. "Nothing is wrong with your face!.." he said, his wings hiked high up to his shoulder and head. "I-- should be resting.. goodnight, Star.." he bid and left. 

Before Starscream could process what happened, he thought back to the fact that Jetfire called him Star... he thought that he liked the nickname; it was a nice touch.

Starscream smiled. 

★彡 MY LOVE, ALL MINE彡★

When the Decepticons finally struck Optimus and his Autobots by stealing a bunch of Energon, they triumped for the victory. The other Decepticons were drunk in high grade, laughing and talking with ease. Megatron sat on his throne while Soundwave watched Rumble and Frenzy play a prank on a bot. Laserbeak and Buzzkill interact with each other, not interested in the party. Skywarp and Thundercracker were making out in the corner where the others couldn't see them, but Stormranger saw, and he was disappointed. 

Meanwhile, Starscream and Jetfire were giggling the entire time as they both sipped a bit of high-grade, engaging in a casual conversation. "I can't believe the cassette twin managed to do that! Seriously, how are they not being lectured by Soundwave?.." Starscream chuckled as he watched the chaotic play in front of them.

"I am convinced that Soundwave is done with them.." Giggled, Jetfire. Starscream exhaled after laughing at the ridiculous portrayal in front of them. "We should go somewhere, this place is too loud.." Starscream murmured. He dragged the shuttle with him as they went somewhere private. 

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .*:☆ﾟ. ───

As they're alone, they begin to count each star together when they look at the sky at night. "This one got to be..Aquila.." Starscream hummed. "Oh! I see Capricon.." he said, still in the haze of the high-grade.

"I see, Orion's belt.." Murmured, jetfire as he squinted drunkenly at the sky. 

Starscream jabbed his shoulder. "Nice observation.." he joked. "They're.. alluring to the optics, don't you think?.." he said.

Jetfire glanced at Starscream. To him, Starscream is very alluring to him. "I think you're alluring to the optics, star.." he whispered.

Starscream stopped and stared back at him, both of them met each other's optics so that they couldn't look away easily, almost as if they were getting closer to each other. Jetfire decided to do something bold.

He kissed him on the lip. 

Starscream's optics, but he quickly kisses back, heated by the effect of the high-grade. Jetfire rests his servos on his head and kisses for more. Then, he reached his other servos on Starscream's wing, stroking gently. Starscream moaned into the kiss; his body was warm, and he couldn't stop. Jetfire pulls himself away from the kiss, breathing heavily. It made Starscream reach for more. 

"Tell me to stop.." Jetfire said heavily, and he continued to stroke Starscream's wing. Primus, his wing was sleek and beautiful to the optics. He went on top of Starscream's body and continued to kiss him, giving his lip attention as the seeker moaned under his touch. Starscream's leg trembled and buckled. 

Starscream buckles his hips, grinding both of their panel as both of them moan. He unveiled his panel, revealing his spike and his leaking valve. He blushed in embarrassment. He was.. pretty, Jetfire thought in his mind. He printed a kiss on his hip and onto his leg, then lower. He pressed his glossa into his valve, tasting the sweetness underneath. Starscream choked as Jetfire continued to devour him as if he were a meal. He pressed his glossa more against his node, which hit his spot, causing him to see stars for the very first time. Jetfire growled. He was delicious underneath him. 

He continued to hit it until Starscream overloaded on his face. Jetfire didn't mind. In fact, he liked it. He wiped the stain off his cheek and licked it with his finger as he groaned. He gave Starscream's spike some attention, stroking it and kissing around it as he heard the sweet sound coming from him. His hand was full of fluid when he continued to pump it. Then, He released his panel too, revealing his spike. 

Starscream's optics widened; it was huge. almost as if it wouldn't fit inside there. "Will it fit?.." Starscream stated his concern.

"It will.. "Jetfire said confidently, he put both of Starscream's legs, and on his waist, he pumped his spike a few times before lining. He pressed his spike inside his valve as he groaned. Starscream gasped. It was massive inside, and he felt like he was full! The white shuttle stopped, giving Starscream time to adjust before he made his move. He thrust his hips back and forward, earning himself with a sound of moaning and encourage wrd of "Yes!", "Keep going".

He couldn't stop; he felt like he was enveloped inside something warm. Then, he began his pace, moving quicker as he bumped his spike into Starscream's gestation tank, hitting his spot over and over. he was getting close, too close...

Starscream's optics rolled back, breathing heavily as his body trembled. He was the first to be overloaded until Jetfire came close to his climax in return. he collapse on him gently so as not to hurt him. Both of them were regaining their consciousness. 

"Primus.. that was.." Jetfire trailed off, trying to catch his breath. 

"Amazing.." Starscream finished for him.

It was a heated moment they had; they cannot stay here longer, lest they get caught by Megatron.

☆★☆★→AND THEN, YOU'RE GONE←☆★☆★

After the party, Jetfire and Starscream never once spoke about their heat moment. But Jetfire was hurt that Starscream pretended as if nothing had happened. Has he offended his friend?.. Perhaps, Starscream was embarrassed to talk about it. That could be the only reason.

Now, they couldn't avoid being distracted because they have a mission coming up. They're to be at the Arctic where the Autobot resides with their human. And Megatron needed to know what they're up to. 

"No need to fret! Megatron is only mad that Optimus left him without saying goodbye.." Starscream joked as he rolled his optics. "Come with me, we are joining with the others.." he said.

As they arrived there, the fight happened like chaos, and Jetfire couldn't even believe it. He was pacific. He couldn't fight since he hadn't had any weapons! He just saw the cassette twin throwing themselves at Jazz, while Soundwave was fighting Brawn and Sunstreaker. 

Skywarp was teleporting back and forth before punching Ironhide in, Thundercracker came targeting Sideswipe. "Help me up, will you?.." Starscream called for him. There he was, fighting with Bumblebee. 

But Jetfire couldn't focus on anything. Just why are they fighting? Has this been going on?... Are they gonna fight until they die?

That wasn't right! Jetfire thought, before he could do anything, he saw two humans drowning in the cold water, he managed to stay out of anyone's view as he helped out the two of them. The human sire and the young one were afraid of him, as if they wanted to stay away from him. he didn't understand. Why would they stay away?... "Don't be afraid.. I won't harm you.." he tried comforting them. "You see, my people are kind.. they wouldn't hurt you anyway.." he assured.

The young boy shook his head, frowning. "No! They're the decepticons and you're part of that. Don't you see? they're evil!" he said. 

Jetfire tilted his helm, confused. "I don't understand, it can't be! They wouldn't hurt you.." he frowned. "I'll show you that they're nice.." he said as he brought them over. 

Starscream managed to get Bumblebee off of him. He turned around and saw his lab partner returning with a human. "Ah, I see, you caught them!.." he smirked. "Old Stormranger should handle the part, let us go see him.." he said.

As soon as they arrived to see Stormranger, he was on the order side. Taking away energy and energon. He grinned when he saw them. "Excellent..." He praised. "Megatron will be proud, give them to me!.." he ordered. 

Jetfire gave him to the human, until Stormranger almost squished them as he smiled. "They're soft and small.. they could easily slip out of the big cage.. Starscream! get that cage for me, will you, darling?.." he purred. 

Something is wrong...

Starscream saluted. "Yes, winglord!.." he scurried to find a small cage. In a few moments, he finally came back with them. "Should we wait for Megatron?.." he asked. Stormranger shook his helm. "No, we got this handle, I predict that the Autobot will come looking for them.." He smirked at the two humans as they glared at him. 

Was the human right that they were cruel? have he been deceived?... Jetfire glanced down at his symbol for a moment. 

"Let go.." Starscream said. 

Jetfire tried to say something, but he didn't know how to say it..

As the fight was still ongoing, Jetfire found that he didn't know if he could trust them anymore.. "I don't think this is right.." Jetfire finally said.

Starscream glanced at him, confused. "Come on, this is what we do!, Now get that thought out of your head and let go!.." he said, dragging his arm with him.

Jetfire pulled his arm away. Starscream was baffled. "Jetfire–"

"Star.. I don't think it is right! Don't you see? We're hurting them!..." he confessed his thought. Starscream paused. "Jetfire, we aren't doing anything wrong. You know.. We fought for the causes!.." he shrieked.

"Then, why hasn't the war stopped? Why is it still happening??.." Jetfire yelled back. He looked down at the symbol and then ripped it off. Starscream's optics widen, his mouth open agape. "Jetfire!–" but the white shuttle couldn't answer him as he transformed and flew off to join the Autobots. 

Starscream was devastated that Jetfire could leave him like this, then his spark was fueled with anger. "If you tried to come back, I'll kill you! Do you hear me? you're dead!.." he shrieked. 

Megatron has called for a retreat after he was injured by Optimus. Starscream began to look for Stormranger, seeing that the humans aren't worthy. "Stormranger!.." he called out. He immediately stopped when he saw him down to his knees; he was hurt. He was too old to move anymore... Jazz stood there. He came to get Spike and his father. Jazz was worried. Starscream pushes him away. "Out of my way!.." he rushed to the winglord. He put him on his shoulder. 

"Stormranger.. are you alright?.. You shouldn't be moving too much.." Starscream fussed. "Let me comm over Thundercracker.." He said.

Stormranger waved his servos dismissively, breathing heavily. "No need.. just.. take me to the Nemesis.. I don't want him to be worried.." he smiled softly. "Knowing Thundercracker, my son is always a worrisome.." he said.

Starscream huffed. He still brought him over to the base, even if it was far away.

☆★☆★→CHAMBER OF REFLECTION←☆★☆★

Stormranger died of old age; he was getting weaker, and his strength was slipping away. Thundercracker and Slipstream stayed by their side, and Starscream was there, but he couldn't handle the grief. So he left and hid in his habsuite. The door slipped open, and he could hear his carrier talking softly to him. 

"Jetfire has made his choice... there's nothing we could do to convince him.." Megatron said, he pressed his servos on his sparkling's shoulder. "You don't need him, he has made you grieve more.." Megatron sneered. He knew he shouldn't have trusted that shuttle easily. He cursed the shuttle's name silently. "Come, Stormranger wanted to say something to you before hr go.." the warlord's voice trembled, it was the first time Starscream could see him filled with sadness. 

He decided to go again and see him.

Stormranger smiled when he saw him; he was turning grey. Starscream couldn't handle that. "Stormranger.." he holds his servos. "Starscream.." Stormranger said weakly. "Protect Thundercracker for me?.. you're his trine leader, and you have the role of protecting them from danger.." he said. 

"So, I'll give you this gift.." he opened his servos, revealing a wristband of jewels and rubies. "That used to be my sire's, and he gave me this; it belongs to me. and now it rests in your servos.."

Starscream's optics widen. "Why me?... why not Thundercracker?.." he asked.

Stormranger chuckled, his optics almost dimming. "Because he already has one.." he answered. "Have it.." he said. Starscream nodded, he clutches the wristband in his servos and glanced. "Please, don't go.." he pleaded, almost as if he was about to sob.

"It is my fate.." Stormranger said, he cupped Starscream's face. "I adore who you are.. don't forget that.." he said before his spark gave out.

The room was silent, but with Thundercracker's sob and Slipstream's choke of her cried.

☆★☆★→SNOWGLIDER←☆★☆★

Ever since everything that happened, it has changed for the better or for the worse. What changed is that Starscream found himself sparked, no doubt that it was Jetfire, who was now Skyfire's current name. Megatron was absolutely furious. How could he let this slip under his nose? No– how did Jetfire manage to spark his sparkling up?.. Megatron shouldn't have trusted him in the first place. Now, Starscream was sparked, and there's no changing that.

He watched his spark change for many weeks and months; he was still devastated by the loss of Jetfire, but no more. After all, he won't forgive his old friend for what he has done. Every decepticons keep their distance from him, knowing his emotions and that he was frail, well pregnant. 

With every month of mood, morning sickness and anger that Starscream have gather up.

He finally has his sparkling in his arm, and Primus, he looked so much like his sire. But he has his blue hand, the colour of his cockpit and his optics...that red, white and blue lime on his little wing nub. But, he has his optics colour, Skyfire's. 

That didn't matter anymore; this is his sparkling. he was everyone's and his whole world. 

He has called him Snowglider.
