Transformers: Prime: Every King needs a Queen

Chapter 5: A Decepticon Wedding

Megatron and Firestar have arranged for their marriage to happen by the end of the month and the Decepticons have done some preparations for their master's wedding. Megatron has picked Knockout, Breakdown, and Soundwave to be his groomsmen and he's invited Starscream and the other Decepticons to attend the wedding while Shockwave is chosen to perform the service for the bride and groom.

Meanwhile, at Iacon, Inferno was sulking around due to how angry and heartbroken he felt when his best friend, Firestar, chose Megatron over him to be his bride. Inferno wanted to save Firestar, but the Autobots told him not to go to Kaon without backup due to how many Decepticons there are at that place. But Inferno didn't care and he refused to let go of Firestar, the femme bot whom he loved more than a friend. Inferno continues brooding by himself when one of the Autobots, Springer, checks on him.

"There you are, Inferno." the mech said.

"Go away. Can't you see that I am suffering?" Inferno said, somberly.

"Look, I understand that you're emotionally hurt and we're sorry to hear about Firestar. But you've got to let it go. It's been weeks now, Inferno." Springer told his friend.

"As long as my Firestar is with Megatron, I can hardly bear the pain inside of me," Inferno said.

"I know that you love Firestar and I know that you wish to rescue her, but we've got other important things to be worried about right now," Springer replied.

"I don't care! Firestar was my sparkmate until Megatron took her away from me and I will never forgive him for it!" Inferno snapped.

"Calm down, Inferno," Springer said to Inferno.

"NO! I have suffered long enough! I will save Firestar, even if I'm going to die for her!" Inferno declared before pushing Springer aside, "GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!" he shouted.

Back at Kaon, Megatron was getting himself ready to marry Firestar as he spends time in his room while trying on his fancy cape and polishing his armor. It was then that Shockwave came to check on the groom and to tell Megatron that everything is going according to plan.

"Shockwave, so glad to see you." Megatron greeted Shockwave. "How is Firestar?" he asked.

"Your bride is doing quite well, Lord Megatron," Shockwave said. "She is preparing to meet you at the altar as soon as she puts on her wedding attire," he told his master.

"Good," Megatron said before he made an anxious expression on his face.

"Is something the matter, my liege?" Shockwave asked.

"It's nothing, Shockwave. I'm just feeling a bit...nervous," Megatron answered.

"I understand, Lord Megatron," Shockwave replied. "I am sure that you and Firestar will reign together over Kaon and that you two will have a future together," he said.

Thirteen minutes later, Megatron was standing at the altar while wearing his fancy cape and waiting for his bride to come. The Decepticon musicians sounded the trumpets before the doors opened and there she was: Firestar in all her beauty. Megatron gazed upon his bride with a pleasant look on his face. The Decepticons stood up from their seats as they watched the bride walk up to join Megatron at the altar. Firestar was wearing a wedding veil and an elegant dress. Once Firestar meets up with her groom at the altar, Megatron holds her hands before Shockwave begins the ceremony.

"Decepticons. We are gathered here today to witness the union of Lord Megatron and Lady Firestar." Shockwave began.

Meanwhile, Inferno leaves Iacon and makes his way to Kaon to rescue Firestar and stop the Decepticon warlord from marrying her, when he suddenly gets captured by the Insecticons led by the wicked spider-like femme bot, Airachnid. Inferno tries to fight back, but Airachnid wraps him up in her sticky webbing before the Insecticons drag the Autobot back to the Insecticon hive. It was then that Inferno begged Airachnid to spare his life before he offers to join her and the Insecticons as their slave in exchange for their help in gaining his revenge on Megatron for marrying Firestar. Airachnid agrees to spare the Autobot's spark before she and the Insecticons enslaved Inferno, forcing him to obey Airachnid's every command. Back at the Decepticon base, Shockwave reaches the end of his marriage service before he speaks to the bride and groom.

"Do you, Lord Megatron, take Firestar to be your conjunx-endura, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, until death do you part?" Shockwave asked Megatron as he held his bride's hand.

"I do," Megatron said.

"Do you, Lady Firestar, take Megatron to be your conjunx-endura, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, until death do you part?" Shockwave asked Firestar.

"I do," Firestar answered.

"Then in any logical sense, care to share your exchange of vows?" Shockwave said.

"I, Lord Megatron, vow to love and to care for you forever. I vow to protect you, to honor you, and to love no one else but you," Megatron said to Firestar.

"And I, Lady Firestar, vow to stay by your side for all eternity. I vow to love, protect, and comfort you, to honor you, and to accept you as my sparkmate." Firestar said to Megatron.

"Then by the power vested in me, I pronounce you...Lord and Lady. You may now seal your marriage with a kiss." Shockwave finished his service.
