Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Respect

Chapter 6

~*~*~*~

Decadence means a process of decline or decay in a society, especially in its morals, and at the time the Decepticons were in a state of decline, since Starscream hadn't known that Optimus had given them the energon. So, no cruelty intended, but I do know what decadence means.

Maybe you are referring to the 'self-indulgence' meaning?

Since this will probably be the last chapter, it will probably be mainly sparkling cuteness and short. Fair warning.

At first it didn't seem so bad, Decadence was a curious sparkling, always trying to get his creators towards, whatever it was he was after. It was something Megatron and Starscream could handle, for the most part. However, after the sparkling was a week old, he learned the power of his vocals. Putting two and two together to discover he could get what he wanted with chips or clicks, and if that didn't work, a scream would definitely get their attention.

Though the screaming did prove somewhat useful when Skywarp's labor process started and it was just coincidence that he was watching Decadence. It was probably the only thing that put Decadence on Thundercracker's okay list, otherwise Thundercracker would have rather removed the sparkling's vocal processor. However, after grabbing Starscream's attention with his screaming, and thus putting Starscream's attention on the other seeker, Decadence was thus put on Thundercracker's okay list.

It definitely took longer for Skywarp to birth twins than it did for Starscream to birth Decadence. Still, it was worth it in the end when both mechs turned out to be healthy and relatively loud. Skywarp named the oldest Levanter, and Thundercracker named the youngest Monsoon, since it was obvious that the sparklings would be seekers. Already they had the slim frame of a seeker, considering both parents were seekers, unlike Decadence.

Then, two days after the birth of the twins, the third and last birth took place. Blackout and Barricade actually managed to bring a femme into the Decepticon faction. They named her Empyrean because it seemed nothing could take her optics off the world around her, especially when she was brought outside. Her uncanny fascination with the sky was just another description that fit her name all too well.

The Nemesis was probably the most active it had been for a long time, Soundwave was temporarily given most of the main duties as Megatron attempted to lend a hand with Decadence best he could. Especially when the sparkling felt playful, then it was either the Guess Why I'm Crying game, or the Up and Down game. The Up and Down game being when Decadence first wanted to be held, then didn't, then did...it was really an endless cycle. Though, after the first few weeks, the sparklings were allowed to "play" together, mainly just chewing on each others fingers, or clicking and chirping at one another.

Decadence seemed particularly attached to Monsoon out of all the other sparklings. Probably because out of all of them, Monsoon was the quietest, but also seemed to have more intellect than the others. So, when Monsoon wanted something, or even Decadence wanted something for himself, that's all Monsoon would have to do was give Decadence the signal and Decadence would start screaming. Nevertheless, the Nemesis proved to be very interesting during these times, and the others had a feeling it would not end soon.

Around the same time on Earth, another three sparklings were born. Of course before then, the Autobots had to explain to the humans what was going on. The NEST teams were shocked when they heard, but otherwise were ready to welcome the sparklings. However, other humans were no so excited to hear that these "aliens" could reproduce. Still, those humans were severely outnumbered and could not order the Autobots home while still knowing the war would start again soon after the sparklings reached a certain age.

Caliper was the first Autobot birthed, the mech of Optimus and Ironhide. He was a dark gray, a shade lighter than Ironhide, though he had blue decor around the parts adorning his shoulders. His bright blue optics were always scanning something, taking everything in around him. He was also a relatively quiet sparkling, very rarely verbalizing his needs or wants, making clipped gestures at what he wanted. Ironhide had no problem with this, though Optimus tried to get the sparkling more verbal, and half succeed, as the sparkling would only chip or click when Optimus was in the room.

The loud mech of Ratchet and Wheeljack was second, Division. Division was more of less Caliper's opposite, loud, always chipping, even if he had nothing to chirp about. He was white in color, red trimmings along the sides of his helm. Wheeljack enjoyed trying to think of things to build for the sparklings, though many of the older mechs were always weary in making sure that none of the contraptions exploded.

Symphony was last, the only femme of the Autobots, belonging to Jazz and Prowl. She was sleek, taking more after Jazz than Prowl, beside the sleek frame. She was easily lulled to sleep by the human's music, thus she was named Symphony. Symphony tended to stay with her creators most of the time, preferring the attention of her creators rather than the attention of the two other sparklings around her, despite how much Division attempted to get her attention Nevertheless, Division and Caliper seemed inseparable, Division chirping enough for the both of them to never go without.

It was a while before the sparklings could walk, but when they did, no Autobot had a moments peace. Especially when Ironhide taught Caliper the concept of stalking and how to do it. Then, not only was there no peace, but none of the 'bots were safe either. Caliper enjoyed pouncing on the mech's feet, sometimes latching on and refusing to let go. Thankfully they manged to keep the humans away when the sparklings were feeling particularly playful, as they could seriously hurt them.

Better yet, along with walking, there came talking, and sometimes the sparklings would hear things there were not supposed to. Symphony seemed to be the only sparkling that stayed off by herself, never growing out of the stage where she would not leave her creators. Caliper was still a quiet sparkling, though he seemed to catch on quickly to talking. His range of vocabulary by far surpassed either Division's or Symphony's. Division still followed Caliper around, he had grown quieter, but nevertheless, he still talked too much sometimes. He seemed to be skilled with his hands, as were his creators, and though he didn't catch on to vocabulary quickly, he understood most, if not all, of his creators tools. Which were dangerous, which were safe, the like.

Though as the sparklings grew so did the chance of a Decepticon attack, though Optimus doubted it would be soon, as the sparklings were still, well, sparklings. However, when he was not taking care of Caliper, the Autobot leader was already making battle plans for the inevitable battle. The humans too were getting ready, thought there wasn't much they could do to actually manage to kill them. As it was, there currently was no threat against them.

Once in a while though, the Autobots would send a scout out to survey the area in which the Decepticons were allowed to harvest the energon. Megatron was never there, nor were his seekers, it was always Shockwave or Soundwave and perhaps a few lower class Decepticons. Optimus figured that it was only because of their sparklings, and he knew that once the Decepticon sparklings were older, Megatron would be there, and so would their threat.

Never had Starscream been so attached to another Decepticon like he was with Decadence, not even Megatron could replace the young sparkling. Decadence seemed to enjoy his carrier's company as much as Starscream did, usually clinging to Starscream's wings if they were going anywhere. The only time Decadence was not with Starscream was when he was with the twins, Levanter and Monsoon.

The twins were a nuisance amongst themselves, though Levanter was the worst, taking more after his carrier than Thundercracker. Monsoon and Decadence were still always with each other, relying on one another when their creators weren't around. Levanter was usually seen with Skywarp, a habit he too never grew out of. Empyrean seemed content on just watching her surroundings, always keeping a watchful optic out.

Currently Decadence was recharging in Starscream's arms, the seeker being too preoccupied to walk back to his and Megatron's quarters to set the sparkling in his rightful place. Already the Decepticons were planning on their first attack against the Autobots, of course it would not be until the sparklings were well into the age when they could transform into their first alt modes. The age at which the humans refer to as 'teenage' years.

Starscream leaned forwards, looking over Megatron's shoulder as the two discussed battle plans. Decadence shifted in Starscream's arms, causing the two mechs to grow silent while the sparkling settled himself. After a few moments Starscream returned his optics to the data pads laying in front of Megatron. A slight smirk appeared on Starscream's faceplate as the thought of a battle excited him.

Megatron too had a grin on his faceplate, looking closely at the plans. "As soon as they're old enough," Megatron told the seeker, "As soon as they're old enough we'll strike." Megatron stood, capturing Starscream's lips in a heated kiss, careful of the sparkling in his arms. He ran his glossa along Starscream's lips, sending short shivers down the sleek form of the seeker.

When Starscream pulled away, he still had that sadistic smile, "The Autobots won't know what hit them."

Well, that was REALLY short, and I'm sorry to say that that's it over...

HOWEVER!

Keep an eye out for the second one. Of which already has a story line and everything! So it'll be better...hopefully...

Just so you know, it's called "Innocence Stolen" and it'll be out soon...promise!
