|COMPLETE| Turns out, they aren't that bad. Well, at least (Y/N) hopes so. If not, perhaps she can change that. Contains Megatron; Starscream; Soundwave; Knockout; Breakdown and Predaking. [FEMALE READER ONLY!]*I don't own Transformers *

Wake up. Get out of berth. Stay on schedule. There's not much to do as a drone, besides act like the near-mindless soldier everyone thinks you all are, and follow the daily agenda. You'd never known anything different than the dull life you lead, full of abuse and the same things repeated over and over until you died. Then again, you Vehicons don't ever seem to last very long anyways. An event happens that changes your life: an event that allows you to feel emotions, and turn the tides of the war, and fall in . . . love. Primus, save us all. <> <> <> A/N: Agender! Reader! Also, get it? Guns for hands? Like blasters? Get it?

"He who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become one." Megatron fought against the Council's tyranny, only to unleash his own once he didn't get his way. Then, suddenly, there was you. You find Megatron on the ground, helpless and alone. Your creator fell at the servos of Decepticons. You followed in the pedesteps of her and your sire, Ratchet, to make sure it didn't happen to others. Megatron started the Decepticons, so why-oh-why did you decide to help him? And why didn't you regret it?

Every story has a second side.

A/N: After Predacons Rising, but RID doesn't happen. Gender neutral pronouns!!! If Optimus Prime was still alive, he would be appalled. The war was for nothing. People should've taken it as a lesson, but no, Cybertron went and repeated some of its past mistakes. Some mistakes were new and worse. The council was corrupt, maybe more so than the old one. Instead of gladiators being forced to fight to the death and buy their freedom, there were simply slaves. They weren't entirely legal, but your own government was more than willing to look the other way. You escaped the system. You had a family. You made a life yourself. As a result of leaving, you got that life taken away. Nowadays, you help others escape the system and make sure they don't face the same consequences. When Megatron returns from his self-exile, he finds himself facing the same system he sought to destroy so long ago. He also finds himself connecting to you, the leader of a new uprising. You, all he could've been if he hadn't fed his ambition.
