Notes:

Hello again my dear readers! I have a new story here! This is a request from Skellington girl. This is the first request I have ever done, so sorry if it isn't as good. It is also the first story I've written centered around the Decepticons. So I'm trying something new. I hope you like it though. I thought it would be a good idea. Also, I'm not really sure it's called a sparkling. It's really a toddler in our terms. Like three to five years old if they were human. But I'm just gonna call it a sparkling for now, so deal with it. I hope you enjoy! Please review, but no hate.

Transformers, their toys, and franchises all do not belong to me. I wish they did. Maybe someday I will rule the world and then all of Transformers will belong to me! Mwahahahahaha!

Internal thoughts

Starscream and the Sparkling

Knock Out was in his lab on the Nemesis. He was working on something Megatron had wanted him to build. It was supposed to be a cannon to turn Autobots into sparklings and erase their memories since after sparklinghood. Why Megatron wanted a cannon that would do something so stupid, Knock Out would never know. Why not just build a cannon that would kill the Autobots? It would be so much simpler, and a lot faster. Megatron was really starting to slip.

But orders were orders, and Knock Out did not want to be on the receiving end of Megatron's wrath. The last time that happened, it took him weeks to buff out all the damages to his paint job and get himself back to that perfect shine. He didn't want a repeat of that.

So here he was building a device that would please Lord Megatron. He even added his own personal flair on it. He had made the design sleek and stylish and gave it a bright red coat of paint. Hopefully Megatron would appreciate all the time he took to build this.

He was just putting the finishing touches on it when he accidently pushed the trigger. And he just happened to be right in front of the beam. The ray blasted him, and he got knocked back against the wall.

After the smoke had cleared, Knock Out stood up. But, instead of the full grown adult he was seconds earlier, he was a small sparkling. He looked around, confused. Why was he here? Where was his house? He didn't remember ever coming here. This place he was in was unfamiliar. He decided he should investigate. So he left the lab and started to wander the halls of the Nemesis.

Starscream boarded the Nemesis once again. He was on another one of his energon retrieval missions. He was running low again, and this is where he came to get more. For some reason, Megatron never noticed the missing cubes Starscream took. Maybe he was too busy coming up with another one of his ludicrous schemes to destroy the Autobots.

Starscream smirked to himself at that thought. He was so much smarter. He could come up with way better plans than Megatron. But Megatron never seemed to see that. So Starscream was his own leader. He crept through the familiar halls of his old home, looking for the energon supply room.

As he was sneaking down the halls, he bumped into something. He looked down to see a sparkling. The sparkling was on the floor from when he had fallen down after he crashed into Starscream. He looked up at Starscream with a look on confusion on his face. It was then that Starscream realized that the sparkling looked familiar. Like someone he knew, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"Hello there. And what would your name be?" Starscream asked.

"My parents say I shouldn't talk to strangers. But they're never around, so maybe it's all right. Can you help me find my home? I think I'm lost," the little sparkling said in his little sparkling voice.

"I might be able to do that. But first I need to know your name, little sparkling," Starscream replied.

"Um, well… Okay. My name is Knock Out. What's yours?"

"Knock Out?" Starscream was surprised. Of all the ideas Starscream had come up with as to who this sparkling was, Knock Out was not one of them. I guess that's why he looked so familiar, he thought to himself.

"Yeah. Knock Out. Now tell me your name!"

"My name is Starscream." Starscream realized that Knock Out didn't remember anything except from when he was a sparkling. Maybe he could use this to his advantage.

Knock Out is the Decepticons' only medic. If I took that away, the Decepticons would have no way to repair themselves. Who knows? Maybe Megatron would even die from a wound he got in battle with Prime. Then I would be able to take over while the Decepticons are weak and vulnerable. No one would be able to question me! Mwahahahaha! And also, this sparkling will need somebody to care for it. I can't just leave it on the Nemesis. Since I am here, I can do that while taking away Megatron's best doctor, Starscream thought to himself.

"Cool! Now can you help me find my way back home? If I don't get back, the nanny will tell mommy and daddy, and they'll be mad at me. The nanny is really mean. I wish I had a nicer one. She makes me clean the house, and I have to get my own food. But she says that if I tell mommy and daddy, she will just get me in trouble. Wait, where is the nanny?" Knock Out said.

Perfect. He has a nanny. Or he did. Whatever. Anyways, I can pretend to be the nanny. This naïve little sparkling won't know the difference. Why did Knock Out have a nanny anyways? His parents must have been really busy to have to leave him with a cruel nanny all the time. They must have paid no attention to their son. Well, I will take better care of this sparkling than his family or nanny ever did, Starscream thought.

"The nanny was fired. I am your new nanny. I shall take you back home. Come with me," Starscream said to the sparkling.

"Okay! I'm glad the other nanny was fired! She was really mean! You're not gonna be mean, are you?" the sparkling Knock Out asked.

"Of course not! I would never be mean to a sparkling as nice as you are! Now come on. We need to get back before anyone notices. You don't want your parents to get angry that you left, do you?" Starscream said as he transformed into his alt mode and allowed the sparkling to climb inside.

"No way. Let's go!"

Then they took off and flew to Starscream's makeshift base. He would probably have to explain why everything looked different when they got there.

When they got to Starscream's base, Starscream allowed the sparkling to climb out and then transformed back into his base mode. Knock Out looked around with a mix of curiosity and confusion. Where were they? This didn't look like his home. But it was really cool.

"Where are we?" Knock Out asked.

"Oh. I apologize. I forgot to explain some things to you. You hit your head and lost some of your memories. Your parents had to move to a new house in a different place. The other house was destroyed in a fire. So this is where you live now. And your parents are going to be very busy for a while, so you will not be able to see them. But I will take good care of you," Starscream said.

"Okay! My parents never really paid attention to me anyways. They were always too busy. But this place is a lot smaller than our old home. Our old house was way bigger. And it was a lot fancier. Why is this house so lame?"

Starscream internally groaned. He should have guessed that Knock Out grew up as a stuck up rich boy. It would have explained the way he acted all the time. Oh well. Starscream would just have to deal with it for now.

"Well, this is only a temporary house. Your parents are trying to get the old house repaired. But until then, we have to stay here," Starscream replied.

"Oh. That makes sense. My paint's all messed up though!" the little Knock Out sparkling whined.

Knock Out even worried about his paint job as a kid. Figures. This was going to be more difficult than Starscream originally thought. Oh well. Starscream would take care of this sparkling, even if it killed him. Hopefully it wouldn't.
