Enjoy and please review.

Megatron sat with his fingers pressed together as he watched footage of the last battle. Anyone watching would think he was trying to spot a weakness in the Autobots defences or trying to see how he could improve his soldiers' performance. And was what he normally did when he rewatched battles.

But not this time.

This time he just stared at the screen, not taking in anything as he thought hard about things. About his life and this war he was so heavily involved in. Well, a lot of bots would say he was the war and that if he was gone, there wouldn't be any war.

But that wasn't true and no one knew that better than him. If he was deactivated, someone else would fill the void and this war would continue. Maybe his successor wouldn't be as strong as him and the Autobots would defeat the Decepticons. But then the Decepticons would be either enslaved or killed.

But the reverse was true if the Decepticons won, the Autobots would be enslaved or killed. Either way, their race would be ultimately doomed. Logically only a truce of some sort would end this war in a beneficial way.

But watching this battle, it was clear there was way too much bitterness on both side for a truce.

Kragnus lay curled up on Megatrons lap whom idly rubbed his back. Sabertooth his brother lounged on the half organic half metal tree that stood tall in the corner. The only part of him visible was his long black and white stripped tail slightly swaying and twitch with sleep. Kragnus knowing Megatron well looked up at him, he seen the far off look in Megatrons optics that meant he was thinking heavily.

"What disturbs you Megatron?" He asked with a yawn, his long sabers shining ever so slightly. Sabertooths sabers were only slightly longer then his own but then again Kragnus was first born and Sabertooth was last born. There three sisters were in the middle.

His sisters were away with their mother, meaning the brothers got some peace for a while. The three feline Femmes were very noisy and they loved teasing their brothers. Their names were RoseThorn, NightShade and RedClaw and they were beautiful but deadly hunters.

RoseThorn had beautiful pinkish red stripes along her flank which actually helped her blend in an organic background or the shadows pretty well. She didn't have long claws but they were very sharp and she knew how to use them. She was second oldest out of Ravage's offspring but the oldest Femme.

NightShade had a dark blue coat of very short fur that was broken up with Leopard like spots of black. She had blazing icy blue optics that made her mysterious and appear all the more deadly. She was very silent when she hunted earning her the nick name Deadly NightShade from her fellow Decepticons.

The last sister was RedClaw and as her names suggested, she had red claws and paws. The rest of her was an inky black with bright yellow optics what were the only thing you could make out in the darkness. She was all about power and patience, she could hide in the dark for so long, you'd forget she was even there.

She also had a rather deadly ability.

After they were born, they were fight on who would eat first and Kragnus shoved her out of the way and she fell back ward and got mad. Once she was up right she got into a rage, attacking him and in the process caught fire and burned him. She could cause flames to burst into being over her body and use them but only for a short amount of time.

"The war does..." Megatron answered grimly. Kragnus stretched out long and yawned again before jumping lightly onto Megatron's desk to inspect the video feed he was watching.

"What is it about the war that bothers you?" Kragnus asked curiously.

"Everything," Megatron said with a slight sigh.

"But most of all the war it seems there is no end to it."

Megatron sighed heavily, stroking Kragnus's head.

"We've been fighting so long I can barely recall why we fight in the first place."

"So why do we continue?" Kragnus asked softly.

"Because we fight for..."But he only trailed off with a sigh, "We fight because there is no other way."

"Surely there is always another way," Kragnus said softly, knowing he could speak his mind to Megatron.

"I doubt the Autobots enjoy this war."

Megatron chuckled darkly.

"They don't but...there is far too much bitterness on both sides to simply end it just like that."

"If there was a way," Kragnus asked quietly. "To end this war, would you take it?"

"Possibly...but it would have to be near life changing," He chuckled.

"Hmm," Kragnus murmured thoughtfully. "What would be life changing enough to end this war?"

"Sparklings." Purred Sabertooth peering threw the leaves of his tree.

"I once over heard Hook speaking to Mother about them. On how he thought this war would nearly disappear if there were Sparklings about," He commented only his bright green optics showing.

Megatron froze in his seat as Sabertooth said this

Sparklings, beings that hadn't been seen in so long a time, unless you counted Ravage's kittens

But even if all the Decepticons had Sparklings, would that be enough? Somehow he didn't think so, even though Autobots would never harm them, it wouldn't stop this war.

"Hmmm I once saw Barricade sneak away...I followed him and he met with an Autobot. I did not stick around once they started to kiss and such, yuck!" Said Sabertooth.

"I think what my younger brother is attempting to say is what about Autobots carrying Decepticon sparklings...they could never hurt the sir of their offspring. Would they?" Kragnus asked.

"No...," Megatron said very slowly and thoughtfully.

"They wouldn't."

He considered Sabertooth's suggestion, could that idea really work?

Sabertooth jumped over from his tree clearing Megatron with ease and landing next to his brother. Sabertooth was white with black strips were as Kragnus his brother was a light grey with small black spots.

"Everyone loves Sparklings, the Autobots liked us when we were little," he said with a roguish grin.

"Even when we were naughty."

"And you especially were very naughty," Kragnus now said dryly

Kragnus turned his attention back to Megatron.

"I think it could work, my lord, the only thing is I doubt the Autobots would actually agree to this."

"You could try what Kragnus and I did to the twins...we lured them into a cave and painted them pink. But instead you could trap them in a canyon and split them up and pick them off one by one," Commented Sabertooth thinking aloud.'

"Yes three against one..."Kragnus agreed.

Megatron raised an optic ridge in question, "Why three?"

"Do you think Optimus Prime would spark merge with you willingly?" Kragnus asked.

"Two on each arm to hold him still," Sabertooth answered, "That is assuming you would go after Optimus."

Megatron considered what they'd said. It wouldn't be the nicest way to bring Sparklings into the world but if it ended this war...

"I'll do it," he said quietly. "And so will my men, we'll Spark as many Autobots as possible for this to work."

"And yes, I would go for Prime and possibly his mate too."

"You would have to call all of the Decepticons from Cybertron Sir. You would only get one chance reasonably." Kragnus purred thinking.

It could be slightly alarming how well in tune Sabertooth and Kragnus worked and thought together.

"The Autobots would no doubt catch wind of a mass movement to earth...they would summon there remaining troops from Cybertron as well," Sabertooth mused. "All in one place...if done right nearly all the Autobots would be carriers to Decepticon Sparklings."

Megatron nodded, it was a good plan though as Kragnus said, they'd only get one chance at it.

"Perhaps we should leave the Medics," he mused aloud. "The Autobots will need them while they Carry."

"I can safely say that I think the only Decepticon brave enough to merge with Ratchet would be Hook," Sabertooth said with a shiver.

Kragnus chuckled at that and Megatron also agreed, that Medic was not to be trifled with.

He'd need to consult with Hook about this plan, see if it was really was viable.

But the more he thought about it, the more he liked this plan. Of course there was a lot that good go wrong but he'd deal with anything that arose. Besides, not only could they have a chance at ending this war, but they'd be repopulating their species, something that needed to happen now.

Otherwise, they'd disappear from this Universe.

"We're going to what?" Starscream demanded.

Megatron tried not to roll his optics as Starscream was the one to voice everyone's shock. He had just finished telling his officers about his plan and they were all gawking at him.

"We're going to Spark the Autobots," Megatron said calmly to Starscream who continued gaping at him.

Ravage and Sabre stood like statues not at all bothered by the concept, in fact they were rather proud that there cubs contributed to the plan. They were so proud of their offspring, they'd really changed their lives. And hopefully these planned Sparklings could change things for the better between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

Sabre had voiced several times his concerns about their safety and well being through the war.

If this was a chance to end this worry, he'd gladly cast his vote in favour of the plan.

"Shut your denta's before you drool," growled Megatron.

Starscream shut his mouth with a snap but continued to glare at Megatron.

"Do you honestly think this will work?" he demanded.

Megatron calmly folded his fingers together before speaking, "I do...So long as our plans do not escape to the Autobots. In fact only those selected to Spark merge will know the full extent, those selected to assist will know next to nothing...this way less possibility for the Autobots to find out."

"That is a sensible course of action," Soundwave said in his deep voice.

"How will we chose which Autobots will be Sparked?"

"There commanders and officers will be first. Then so on down the line of command." Megatron spoke with ease, it was clear he had been thinking about this part.

"I will take on Optimus Prime and if available Elita One."

This caused murmurs among those assembled, Megatron was actually going to try and Spark up Optimus Prime. Now that would be interesting to watch, if they had time for that.

"In order to take him, I'll need at least two holding him down," Megatron continued grimly.

"And a further two for Elita."

As they all nodded, Onslaught now asked.

"What about that huge shuttle, how many will we need for him?"

With a nasty ruffle smile he answered, "Five...Four to hold him down while Starscream merges with him."

Starscream raised an optic brow.

"You're assuming I'll merge with him?"

"Who else would you merge with?" Megatron countered and as Starscream didn't have an answer, moved on.

"All of you will be merging with an Autobot but you need to choose who now so we can plan."

"If you so choose so and think you can handle it you may choose two," he added as an afterthought.

They all nodded, they'd need to consider this carefully.

Barricade already had someone in mind though he was sad he'd be forcing a Spark merge with them. Prowl would probably never forgive him for this.

Shockwave cleared his throat before speaking, "I will take on IronHide as he is as barbaric as I am and if possible Chromia...though I doubt I will be online after IronHide is free."

Motermaster sneered at this.

"You'd make a good match, Shcokwave."

"Who will take on the Airelbots?" asked Scrapper in slight sarcasm, "The Constructicons?"

"Surely our Seekers would do that," Onslaught said in his strangely British accent.

"So they can ensure they produce Seekers."

"I can talk to my Seeker about that, they would like some Seekerlets, Starscream admitted.

"But they'll need to be brought down quickly, since they are among the only Autobots who can fly."

"And they would sound off a warning faster than Blurr," Ravage mused.

"But they are also young and inexperienced as warriors," Sabre pointed out softly.

"You just need to act quickly with them and they will be taken care of."

Megatron leaned forward looking directly at Ravage and her mated Sabre, "I have an important job for you that your sons pointed out. The pair of you and your cubs will attack and distract the humans. Target there communications and surveillance systems. Ravage your siblings will be assisting with this mission, this way the Autobots will not be able to call for assistance."

They both nodded, they would not fail their leader in this important mission.

"We will not fail and neither will our children," Ravage said firmly.

"I know you won't," he said quietly, he knew they understood the importance of the situation.

"I will take on Blaster and Jazz." announced Soundwave.

Blaster was a fellow tape deck, making him perfect and Soundwave was rather attracted to the Saboteur.

"I think I know someone that could help..." Sabre offered quietly.

"Who?" Megatron questioned as he turned to her.

"A Techno organic named Blackaracnia, she is part spider and her webbing ability would be useful in bringing the smaller bots down. They would be easily held up by her webbing."

"Skywarp could assist her greatly with his teleporting ability. Carrying her warping in on top of the bots snatching them up before they or anyone knew what was happening. She could wrap them up, stick them on a wall and go back for more. That way no one escapes," Megatron grinned nastily, well everyone present nodded and agreed.

The plan was coming together, what had started as a simple idea was evolving into so much more.

"Now Motormaster, Scrapper and Onslaught you three are all that's left," Megatron said turning his attention to them.

They nodded, considering their options.

"I'll take the Femme Firestar," Onglaught began. "And also that Praxain Bluestreak."

"And I'll have Ultra Magnus," Motormaster said with a grin. "I reckon I can take him."

"Going to take Kup to?" Scrapper asked with a raised brow.

"That old Mech? No thanks, you can have him," growled Motormaster back at the Constructicon.

"We'll see," Scrapper said, he was still thinking of his choices.

"What about you Starscream, will that Shuttle tire you out?" Megatron now asked Starscream.

Starsceam gave him a withering look but didn't answer.

"I can take on the twins if Blackaracnia needs me, why do you have a suggestion?" Starscream sneered.

Megatron smiled.

"Considering how muh time you spend with those pit spawn twins, you might as well but I was thinking of Red Alert. You got on well with him when he went crazy, didn't you?"

Starscream sneered at this.

"I will have my way with WheelJack and Jolt and also that femme BlueLinx," Scraper announced finally deciding.

"Three, impressive," Shockwave commented upon as the others nodded.

"I suppose my medics and I will distract their respective medics," Hook said with a sigh.

"That would be helpful, Hook," Megatron said quietly.

"I don't want Ratchet of all Mechs interfering or any of his Medics."

Another two hours went by in the meeting as further discussion on the other Soldiers of the Autobots and how to deal with them. It seemed like Blackaracnia and Skywarp would have their work cut out for them as they would be utilized heavily. It was decided that Thundercracker would assist in protecting the pair.

"So is there anything else we need to figure out?" Megatron asked of officers.

"What happens after we've Sparked them?" Shockwave of all Mechs asked.

"Being made a Carrier will take a lot out of them, many will likely fall into status for a few hours. Should we watch over them during that time?"

"If most as offline, then yes," Hook stated. "We don't want anything go wrong but once their awake, they can be left."

"Alright," Megatron said. "We'll watch over them until they can all manage on their own."

"No" Ravage softly whispered looking at the table her long purple tail swaying.

She lightly jumped up on the table and made a point to look each and everyone present in the optics with a look that made each feel guilty and ashamed.

"We may be Decepticons...but we are not Sparkless hollow shells of metal. Tell me this how would you feel if you were sparked and never knew your SIr? We cannot abandon them with OUR sparks...we will have to find a way to get along for the betterment of our offspring."

Sabre purred with pride at his mate and the powerful point she had made.

They all looked guilty and then Megatron spoke.

"You're right Ravage, as you always are. We won't abandon them, they'll know why we did it, even if they hate us for it at first."

"After each has been sparked...we should gather them all together and tell them. One at a time will take to long," Sabre said silently, "I do believe you should tell them Megatron, as it is your idea."

Megatron nodded, it was his responsibility, especially as he was planning to Spark up the Autobot leaders.

"I will do that, once their all coherent, I don't want to have to repeat myself."

"Thank you Megatron for thinking of the Sparks." Ravage said politely as she jumped back to her seat.

Megatron nodded, pleased to have such a clever and sensible bot in his army.

"Now, we need to plan this exactly and inform the rest of our troops the details of the roles they'll play...," he began as everyone settled down to discuss the smaller but still vital details of the plan.

Author's note. The decepticons put their plan into action, but how does it go? Find out next time, until then.
