Megatron's twin

104: The Little Surprise

3 weeks later

"Fragging pit spawned fragger." I cursed as I lay in a empty hallway, having just had a lovely day, including a visit to the Autobots. My limbs were literal jelly thanks to a swift spark failure I just had. And I was so tired.

Then Predaking came around the corned, "One more week to go!" He said gleefully as he picked me up. "And this time you're going to the medbay." He added.

"You don't need to follow me around everywhere." I grumbled as I tried to stand, I fell over.

"Clearly." He snickered sarcastically, "How many spark failures is it now for the week?" He asked, although he knew the answer.

"Eleven." I muttered as he helped me up.

"Correct, and like the nice friend I am, I am making sure you don't offline." He added as he helped me walk.

Then Megatron walked into us, Predaking dropped me. "Ow."

"Sorry." Muttered Megatron, not sounding sorry and headed off.

"What crawled up his tail pipe and died?" I asked as Predaking helped me up.

"No idea and I don't want to imagine." He said and dragged me to the medbay. We made it and the doors slid open.

"Hola amigo!" Greeted Knockout as he unloaded a heap of junk onto Breakdown. "Finally decided for a visit?" He asked and dragged me to the medical berth and Predaking excused himself.

"Not my decision." I grumbled as KO sat in a chair next to me.

"Cool, so how often this week?" He asked.

"Eleven."

"And when do they occur?" He asked.

"Randomly."

"I though it only happened when you were exited?"

"Not anymore."

"And when did this change occur?"

"Six to seven weeks ago?" I shrugged. Breakdown paused and counted his digits.

"And what do you think was the cause of this?"

"I haven't been drinking high grade for that long."

"New record eh?" KO asked and took a scanner over my spark, "Open up."

"That's personal." I shot at him, he rolled his optics and pressed a button on the scanner.

"You have a symbiote?" KO asked.

"NO." I crossed my arms.

"I can see it clear as day!" Knockout argued and shrugged, he moved the scanner slightly lower, opened his intake but closed it. "HUh?" he blinked and did a double take.

Breakdown walked over with some energon, looked at the scanner and choked.

"What?"

"You're sparked, congrats." Knockout said with a grin.

I snorted, "Sure I am." These fools think they can trick me into believing that? Nope.

"I took a screenshot." Knockout shrugged as Breakdown glared at it.

There was a blurry picture of a tiny photoform displayed. "Huh? How?"

"Well, normally, sparkling are conceived during intercourse-"

"No I mean when." I wondered as I looked at the thing. My spark was getting a bit rowdy. "Don't tell anyone."

"Yup, good ol' Meg would have your helm!" KO grinned.

Breakdown was counting his digits again, "How old?"

Knockout grabbed the scanner and hovered it above my chassis, "Seven weeks."

"Well, then it's not Predaking-" I cut myself off as Breakdown offered me some high grade.

"What do you think you're doing?! He's sparked!" Knockout yelped and slapped it out of his servo, "So who's the Sire?" He grinned playfully, expecting gossip.

"Wait, this means that I was the bottom." I shrieked in horror, they shrugged. How the slag was I gonna tell Optimus?!? I got out my spark mixture of medication as my spark did some summersaults and downed the whole thing. It kept going.

Knockout hovered the scanner over my spark as my frame went numb with shivers. "Oh, this is a bad one." Knockout muttered, "Get the thing." He told Breakdown.

Then I was filled in pain and all went dark.

I opened my optics and hastily adjusted them to the blinding light.

"So he's been like this for two days and you didn't think to tell me?" The sound of my brother's voice flooded the room. That's not how I'd like to wake up.

"He was in critical condition for a day." Knockout argued from a monitor.

"All the more reason to tell me." Meg grumbled.

"Then what, you were gonna interrupt medical procedures to give him a pep-talk?" Knockout snorted. "Anyway, he's fine now." He said and pointed to some readings.

"Yes." Meg agreed.

"He offlined for ten seconds but he's fine." Knockout added.

"Yes-" Meg blinked, so did I. "Huh?"

"His spark stopped and I was about to call you to let you know, but then he came back." Knockout said. "Then I was too busy making sure he stayed that way."

Megatron was dead silent.

"Soundwave came in though, I thought he would have told you." KO said. "And wouldn't you be able to feel him offlining through your spark bond?"

I tuned out as I realized how many voice calls I had, all from one guy. So with surprising grace from a previously deceased bot, I snuck out of the medbay and no one noticed. I was so exhausted, I'm honestly surprised I could stand.

I walked over to my berth room and opened the door.

I was drowned in a huddle of chickens.

You died! I felt that! Egg said worriedly, full of anger.

"Yup." I panted as I sat on my berth. Was Knockout actually serious that I was sparked?

What happened?! Egg went of as she sloppily jumped on the berth, leaving the chicks to struggle up.

"Knockout played a prank, I had a spark failure, died or ten seconds and came back." I shrugged and lied down.

What was the prank? Egg said, rather aggressively.

"He told me I was sparked."

Egg blinked, Did he say how old it might be?

"Seven weeks?"

Well, they start kicking at eight weeks. Egg said, And you fragged you know who around that time, and Knockout didn't know that, did he?

"No." I blinked, "I'm sparked?!"

Seems like it, would explain your purging. Egg said, Good thing you didn't drink.

At that point, Meg burst in with Predaking in tow.

Don't tell anyone. I warned Egg and she hastily shoved the chicks into the nest.
