Odyssey of a Strange Femme

Prologue

Megatron's 1st P.O.V.

I sighed as I looked out across the shadowed city that my Decepticons called home. This war had been going on for so long that I had lost track of when it had started. So much energon spilled and I knew that it was only going to get worse. The Autobots were always pressing at our forces and I felt that, in ten more stellar cycles, our borders would be overrun by the council and their followers and we would be forced to leave our home.

But, there was also a small glimmer of hope that I had heard of from two of my most loyal supporters, a gray and green helicopter femme called Malice and a black seeker mech called Pandemonium. I met them during the beginning of the war in a small camp just outside of Tarn and I had been trying to find out just how this platoon was working so efficiently. For some reason, the platoon made more headway in the fighting than many that had double the size of troops had.

So, I had visited and found that success was not due to anybot actually fighting in the army. But, instead, it came from Malice and Pandemonium. The couple had followed this platoon for quite some time and always helped where they could. Malice would make specialty homemade meals and Pandemonium helped train the newer troops that would come in. Before that solar cycle, I had no idea that they were this big of a help.

Anyways, back to my thoughts, I had heard of some hope from those two. While they had been bonded for quite some time, they had never been able to become sparked. That was, however, until Malice started to not feel well and she went to see one of our medics, a brown and dark green car mech called Razor and found out that she was sparked. Just the news that she was sparked spread around our troops like wildfire. That had been almost one hundred and fifty solar cycles ago. Now, the sparkling, who we knew was a femme, would be coming any solar cycle now and all of our troops were in a buzz over it.

"All of this excitement about the sparkling sure has the troops more active."

I turned to see Starscream walk up next to me. Nodding in response, I said, "Yes, and I hope that this sparkling will help us end this war between us and the Autobots. A sign of new life, under our freedom, is just the push that our troops need to surge ahead of the Autobots. But, I can't seem to stay patient. I just wish that the sparkling would come so our troops can feel even more motivated."

A chuckle came from Starscream. "The femme's already a celebrity and she hasn't even been born yet. Once she is born, there will be little pictures of her floating around the troops. That, I guarantee."

In return, I nodded. I had no doubt that what Starscream said was accurate. A sparkling, and one born from two bots and not from the Well was a big deal and since it was to be born to bots on our side of the war, it would give us the edge to eventually win this war.

A call coming in on my comm. link had me curious. "This is Megatron. Go ahead and speak." I answered it. Starscream was looking at me curiously but I held off on saying anything until I could get an answer from the caller.

"Megatron? This is Pandemonium." I felt hope as Pandemonium's voice came in from the other side of the communicator. "Malice is in labor at the hospital right now."

That was the last word that I needed to hear. "Starscream and I are on our way now." I then closed the communicator and turned to my second in command. "Starscream, that was Pandemonium. Malice has gone into labor."

That was all that I needed to say as the two of us transformed and flew into the air. The flight to the hospital that Malice was at would only take five clicks but I didn't want to waste a single nano-click. Finally, after all those solar cycles of waiting, the little femme that we had all been waiting for was coming into the world. I wouldn't send a message to my troops until we were sure that the little femme was alright. I was also curious about what the little femme would look like. Lockdown had been able to procure a base protoform for Malice and Pandemonium for this event. Even obscure Decepticons like Lockdown were excited for this new femme to come into our world.
