AC: Here's the first chapter. I wasn't sure what I should do and I found a way out by introducing Shockwave and his three predacons. It took me some time to build them, but I'm satisfied.

Chapter 1: The new rulers of Kaon

A ship flied in the air at the direction of the rulers of Kaon office. Inside was Ultra Magnus sitting there and drinking an energon cube. He drank it calmly and he looked at Kaon. The long ago decepticon main city was now starting to become a more ordinary city of Cybertron. Ultra Magnus had to ditch Bumblebee because he had done something more important. Another reason was that he trusted in Bumblebee ability to talk with everyone.

"Sorry Bumblebee. I'm afraid the new leader of Kaon must be deal with first." Said Ultra Magnus to no one.

He closed his optics, remembering that the Pretenders came sooner than expected. He knew that they are the best when it came to High grade and the one they made was the only kind he took. Their High grade has fewer side effects in a Cybertronian body compare to the usual one. The taste was also perfect.

Ultra Magnus outside and they were soon there.

"-We are soon there Ultra Magnus. The City hall is only in front of us.-" Said a voice. It was the voice of a vehicon.

"Alright." Said Ultra Magnus.

The small ship he was in landed on the ground and the door opened. Ultra Magnus came out of the small ship and he saw in front of him two vehicons guarding the entrance to the City Hall of Kaon. He walked at their direction and they opened the door. He nodded at them and he walked at the direction of the main office of the new leader of the city. He entered in the main office and he saw him sitting there.

"Hello there." Said Ultra Magnus.

"Ultra Magnus...I didn't know you were the type to visit every new ruler of each city." Said the mayor of Kaon.

"...No. I came here because you are the only one who needed to be watch. Right...Megatron." Said Ultra Magnus.

The new leader of Kaon was Megatron. After 10 human years, he was now back of Cybertron and ended his exile.

"Ultra Magnus...I guess you are right. I am the ex-ruler of the decepticons. I might also cause trouble eventually." Said Megatron with a smile. He didn't have the same aggressively and cruelty anymore, but he was sarcastic. "Rest assure that I will not cause too much trouble...Unless the council is corrupted again...Or I'll become once again."

"The corruption was because everything was taken for granted." Said Ultra Magnus. He will not deny that corruption was the source of it. "No one has the intention to start this war again."

"...You are never sure of that." Warned Megatron. He moved his servo and he crossed his claw. "Anything else?" He knew Ultra Magnus as more to say.

"Listen to me Megatron. I'm not sure how you became the mayor of Kaon, but let me warn you that you will have to be very careful in your actions. I do not want a raise for another civil war and especially so close after the first one. I'm...I'm tired of fighting and we have enough trouble already." Said Ultra Magnus. "The loss of Optimus Prime remained a massive scratch in autobot scars who knew us."

"...We all have scars...Mine are done by my own claw." Said Megatron seriously. "I only realise how much I was corrupted when I was the slave of Unicron, a puppet for him. During that time, I could only escape in the past register in my processor. Opti- No...Orion Pax...I consider him a brother. I lose him when he became a Prime. No...I believe I lost him there...But it was the belief of treason that hurt me the most. Anyway...Let's not talk of the past. I promise I will not cause trouble. The council is better be clean." He warned.

"I will not let the history repeat itself Megatron." Said Ultra Magnus. "Since I am here...Do you think every decepticon will cease the war?"

"...You already know the answer. No. Some of them will never trust the autobot and the system...Some will just not trust the autobot...Most of them are here and vote for me...Some of them will saw me as a traitor and continue fighting. I believe Starscream will be one of them." Warned Megatron seriously.

Ultra Magnus knew the answer, it was a defeatism one. He also knew that only so few times passed. He looked at Megatron in his red optics; he knew he wasn't a major treat anymore.

"Alright." Said Ultra Magnus. "I can consider you a potential threat to Cybertron." Megatron smirked at that. "But I'll be watching you as the central. You are after all one member of the council."

"Wait...What?!" Shouted Megatron surprised.

"The council contained every Mayor of Cybertron. That is why I'm here. Not every Cybertronian knows of this yet. Neither you because of your exile." Said Ultra Magnus.

"True." Said Megatron. He picked a High grade cube. "Do you want one?"

"Yes." Said Ultra Magnus.

Megatron threw one and Ultra Magnus caught it.

"The exile was good for me you know." Said Megatron. "It made me reconsider everything I have done in my existence...My good thing, my many wrong choices...And my regrets. My biggest one...Orion Pax and Soundwave."

"Soundwave?" Asked Ultra Magnus.

"He was loyal to me...He believed that I will change Cybertron for the better...In the end...He's...I don't even know where he is anymore. I tried to contact him, but nothing." Said Megatron. "He was my best friend. We meet in a battle in the arena and I defeated him. I trust him with my entire Spark...Even now. Orion Pax...That was because I tried to offline him...Even when he was back to this stage after the first fight against Unicron." He looked down and he said nothing. He drank High grade fast before looking at Ultra Magnus. "Optimus also made mistakes. He protected those who were corrupted; Zeta Prime and Sentinel Prime for example. Anything that enraged me even more...If only...That's the past and I don't even know if anything would have stopped the civil war."

"...Well..." Said Ultra Magnus. "Let's hope we will not return to this."

"Yeah." Said Megatron.

"I'll have to go now. Bumblebee will surely need me with the negotiation with the Pretenders." Said Ultra Magnus.

He stood up and he turned away.

"...So they are coming back?" Asked Megatron.

"Maybe." Said Ultra Magnus.

"Good...They made the best High grade of all time." Said Megatron. "I only drink it once."

Ultra Magnus stood up and he walked away.

"Ultra Magnus...Do you know where Soundwave is?" Asked Megatron.

"On earth...In the shadowzone." Said Ultra Magnus. "Maybe we will bring him back."

"...He's still only." Said Megatron relief. "Orion Pax? He is recreated?"

"No one saw him." Said Ultra Magnus. "But we saw his spark when the Allspark returned."

He got out of the room, leaving Megatron with his High grade.

"Orion..." He said rising his High grade cube. "If only...Primus gave me a second chance...I...Want to start it over again...The right thing this time." He then drank the rest of the High grade cube.

Elsewhere

"You three have grown up so much in those little times." Said a voice resonating in a laboratory.

"We have sire. We become big and strong like you wanted." Said one of the three moving his nose plate against the chassis of the other one.

"Hey! No fair! He likes me more!" Shouted the second one.

"You! No way! I'm the leader, bigger and stronger than any of you so I'm automatically his favourite!" Shouted the third one and a female one.

The three started arguing and the one who was about to talk before being interrupted, by the: who's the favorite one once again. He putted his servo and the other one as a gun on his helm and he shook it.

"Six Stellar cycles...My poor processor. It's illogically painful." He said. He was Shockwave, a decepticon who still hadn't surrender against the autobot.

He also knew that Cybertron would want him offline, no matter what. He was considered a monster. His logic dictated him to fight to the end.

The three continued arguing.

"My logic told me to start them as sparklings...They will be more loyal...But it's too much." Said Shockwave.

The three ex-sparkling are three predacons. They are all much bigger than him and especially their leader.

The leader was Reaperqueen. She has the appearance of a dragon as massive and strong like his first creation: Predaking. She has red metal plates covering all of her body. She has long orange claw that could slash anything. She has massive wings on her back to fly fast. Her optics is orange. She has 2 long black horns on her head. Her long tail is silver blue and contrast with the red of her body.

The two others are, to his surprise, twins. He wanted two predacons and he ended up with three. He changed one's painting so he could recognise them.

Darkclaw has the appearance of a dragon but less massive than Reaperqueen. He has blue metal plates covering all of his body. He has long dark claw that could slash anything. The claw also had an extension to be used for more range. He has medium wings on his back to change direction fast. His optics is blue. He has blue cables on his back that looked like hair. It is very solid. His long tail is dark and ended with a blade.

The color didn't match his personality.

Whiteclaw is identical to his twin, but his paint color is white for everything.

They were going to make his glitch massively eventually. He looked at them and they were looking at him. He knew what will happen next.

"You're too big now. It is not logical to- urgh!" He shouted when the three predacons tackled him on the ground and they waited for him to pat them. They would never stop that and Shockwave knew it. He raised his servo and he started patting them. Each of them purred when he was doing that: Darkclaw especially. He rewarded him with a lick.

This is the pit...I'm sure Primus is punishing me. Thought Shockwave.

He looked at them and he remembered how it all started.

*Flashback 6 Solar cycles ago (6 years in human time)*

Shockwave looked at the three sparklings in front of him. It had been a while since he woke them up. They were the same size as him for now with their respective paint color he gave them. He also had putted them a special chip so they could speak Cybertronian already. He didn't want to teach them how to speak.

"Alright sparkling. I want you to-" He was interrupted when one of them grabbed the cable link to his arm cannon and pulled. "Stop! I'm your sire and I order you to spot Reaperqueen."

She continued pulling it non-stop.

"If you want energon, you should use your logic and know that obedience will do good for you." Said Shockwave calmly while fighting against her.

She didn't listen to him. She grunted and the two others helped her.

They were too strong and when they pulled, they made Shockwave spin around himself before he felt on his arf. He grunted and he looked at the three predacons smiling innocently. Shockwave didn't even need logic to know they were guilty of disobedience.

"Sparklings. I have enough of this...You three better starts obeying my command. I'm your sire and logic states that you respect and obey me." Said Shockwave.

The three sparkling looked at each other's and they looked at Shockwave. The mad scientist knew it was not going to be good. Those sparklings were doing everything to make him glitch. He was also sure they were conspiring against him.

"As I was trying to say. I want you to not move while I'll have to give you this injection." He said showing a syringe. "This contain a special nano machine that will help you localisation you anywhere on Cybertron." Said Shockwave calmly. "It is not logic to let you wandered around if I couldn't find you. Now, do not move and be the brave Predacon and strong Predacon you are."

He moved at the direction of Reaperqueen and he moved the syringe on her neck cable. He then gave her the injection and she didn't flinch. He did the same with Whiteclaw. Both of them were brave and he moved to Darkclaw.

Darkclaw was a different story. He was venting fast and strongly when he saw Shockwave coming to him.

"There is no logical reason to be afraid." Said Shockwave. "It's not painful. Your receptor will not let you fell anything."

Darkclaw backed away and he hit a wall. He looked left and right. He searched for a way to escape and Shockwave was near him. He jumped at Darkclaw and the Predacon wrestled against his sire for a few seconds until he injected the nano machine.

Darkclaw whined in pain and he started sniffing and coolant appeared. He putted his face plate against the chestplate of Shockwave and searched for comfort. Shockwave said nothing, but he decided to pat his helm. After a little time, Darkclaw felt better and he licked the big optic of Shockwave.

He backed away and when Shockwave was about to turn, Darkclaw gave a short grunt and the three Predacons charged at him. Shockwave knew he was tricked when he dropped his guard. They tackled him on the ground and they started to nuzzle Shockwave. Reaperqueen nuzzle him at his sensible antenna with affections and Shockwave gave up fighting. His logics said it was useless. He couldn't feel emotion since he distanced himself with it. If he could, he'll fell the love of the Predacons for him.

*Present*

Shockwave focused back into the present and he looked around. The Predacons stopped nuzzling him and they were now recharging around him. Darkclaw and his twin were resting against his chestplate. Shockwave felt something on his back and he knew he was against Reaperqueen.

He looked at them. They were a pain in the arf and hurt his logic so many times he could glitch. He moved his arms and he putted them around the neck of the twins. He decided to recharge before he returned to the pit or also called being online.

AC: Here's the three new predacons introduced. There will be a lot of flashback to see the development between Shockwave and the three predacons. It will explain some part of the plot in the end.

Hope you find them cute.

Chapter 2: First talk with predacons.

Bumblebee will bring a pretender to speak with Predaking to explain the situation plus another thing.
