Megatron's Daughter

Chapter 4

I stood in Megatron’s quarters waiting for him with Knockout watching me pace back and forth until i finally had enough of the silence. “Why did you abandon me?” I turned to Knockout in time to see a shock expression leave his face before he scowled at me “You were hideous… A sparkling belonging to me that is hideous would ruin my reputation…” i stared at him but i knew that wasn't the truth at all and i wanted the whole truth. “That's a lie… What's the truth because that isn’t it.” He glared at me and started walking towards me “How do you know it isn’t true? You are just a sparkling.” I returned his glare with one of my own holding my ground as he got closer. “Everytime you and your assistant Breakdown came into the orphanage you would call me pretty…” He got a shocked expression then growled stomping back to the wall “Your carrier didn’t want you and i wasn’t making enough credits to support you and myself. Then when your carrier died in a rebel raid i got a new mate and they didn’t want you either so i had no choice.” I lowered my head looking at my paint and servos “I look like my carrier don’t i…? Many bots say i look like you so i figure i have your build and carriers paint…” He nodded before staring at the floor once more. I sighed thinking of my home in Kaon on Cybertron until Megatron came in and told Knockout leave. “Tell me Lilac… Did you ever dream to be adopted?” He walked to his berth and sat down but i stood at attention like i see his crew do when he is around. “No sir… Only once did i dream of adoption but i knew the mech wouldn’t adopt me. So i dedicated myself to learning how to fight, scout, and give medical assistance.” He gave a nodded and an expression that seemed like he was impressed crossed his face before disappearing. “Who was the mech may i ask?” I gulped nervously and played with my servos looking around the room. “Answer me!” Flinching i instantly looked back at him. “You.. sir.. well.. Megatronus… Every sparkling hoped to be adopted by him.” I looked to the floor embarrassed as he walked over to me “Get some rest… Your training will begin tomorrow and last until you are nineteen years of age.” I nodded and laid on the berth falling into stasis smiling. The next few weeks were full of intense training but i handled it well minus one day where i got distracted and got my scar. Today was a special day at training though, today we were going to spar with a expert gladiator and everyone was excited, minus me. I stood at attention when my group leader called for it and watched as Megatron walked out of the shadows with his sword out and that is when i knew… we were going to be sparing with my father. Everyone in my group tensed up minus Soundwave he was calm as usual and i was in awe of how calm the mech could be. “Your sparring partner will be Lord Megatron. If you lose it will hurt, if you win… You might live to fight another day.” I gulped as he gave me a look of expectancy and continued looking over the rest of the troops. The sparring began with Airachnid, everyone believes she is best because she is able to beat all of us. Our expectations were not met as she easily lost to the ex-gladiator, next Megatron had Soundwave up to the stage. He lived five minutes longer than Airachnid but still lost being sent to the med bay with her, he then called a few more bots up and they all lost but not so bad that they had to go to medbay. Then he called me up last seeing i was the youngest and least experienced out of all of them. He gave me that look of expectations again and i shivered in fear. “Weakling!” “Loser!” “He will go easy on her!!” As i walked up i turned around to see my group angrily yelling and it made me even more determined to prove everyone how strong i am. “You do understand why i can't go easy on you now right Lilac?” i looked at him as he finished cleaning is blade of from energon and glanced at me, i smiled slightly. “A leader never passes down a chance to show how strong they are.” He smiled but i could see in his optics he was not going to enjoy this, i nodded to him telling him i was ready. Then he lunged at me sword out optics glowing red...
