Hi everyone. Thanks for all of your reviews and favs and alerts. I have started on the next chapter and am happy with how this fic is turning out. There is some Sam/Megatron Fluffiness in this chapter, not to mention Swindle sparkling cuteness. And the plot is finally reviled... Please enjoy.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dark, everything was dark. Sam couldn't find him anywhere.

"Sam! Where are you!?!" his urgent voice cried.

"Optimus, I can't see you!!!"

"Sam I - Nooo!!!"

He had heard that scream before. The darkness lifted and Sam began to cry as he watched Optimus's body fall. He could hear Megatron's evil laughter in the distance.

"No! Optimus! I'm so sorry!!!"

"Sam, no. I'm sorry." He whispered as his optics slowly lost their glow. "I lov-" That's when everything faded to dark once more.

vvvvvvvvvv

"No!" Sam gasped as his eyes snapped open. He felt something wiggle next to him and looked down, smiling when he saw Swindle curled up next to him, still asleep.

'Knock, knock' "Sam, time to get up!" A voice called through the door before it opened.

"Mmm, Starscream? That you?" Sam moaned as he slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Sure is sleepyhead," The seeker chuckled as he walked in.

Swindle woke up and let out a screech the moment he saw Starscream. He immediately raced behind Sam and slightly poked his head out.

"What's wrong little guy?" Sam asked, now fully awake.

"Swindle? Come here kid, You are in big trouble." Starscream said with annoyance.

"What'd he do?"

"He is only a few earth weeks old and was born without enough energon. He needs to take some MEDICATION, and he DIDN'T take it LAST NIGHT. He's been HIDING all night. He hates the taste of the stuff so he tries to hide all the time. It's not your fault Sam."

"Can I come with?"

"Ya, I have your breakfast ready now anyway."

Sam picked up Swindle and followed Starscream out the door as they walked to the med-bay.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

The med-bay looked just like a large doctors office. Sam and Starscream walked to the door and made their way inside.

"Place Swindle on the counter over there so Specs (A/N: I think that was the name of the doctor 'con) can give him his meds quick."

"Sam did as Starscream told him and watched as the microscope Decepticon transformed into robot form and grabed two small bottles.

"Ssstuupped, nnoww youu nneedd twwoo ddosssess." the 'con spoke in his slurish voice as he forced a green, slimy liquid down the poor sparklings throut.

'Poor thing. No wonder he hides. Eww. That stuff looks disgusting.' Sam thought as he watched Swindle wiggle free of the doctors grip.

Swindle finished the meds and jumped off of the counter. Once he was on the floor he began to gag. Sam rushed to his side and started to pet his back.

"Shhh, It's ok. Your ok. Breath little one."

When he finally stopped, he jumped into Sam's arms and let out a small chirp that sounded similar to a sob.

"He seems to like you. I'm spost to be watching him, but he isn't to fond of me. He normally likes to bite my hand and not let go." Starscream chuckled.

" Really? He seems so innocent. Oh well." Sam just shrugged it off.

"Come on, You need some food."

Starscream lead him to a back room in the med-bay. Sam was shocked when he walked in. There, sitting on a table in the middle of the room, was a plate of perfectly done scrambled eggs, three Bacon slices, a slice of toast, and a glass of orange juice.

"Wow."

"Go ahead and eat. Swindle can sit on that chair over there." Starscream said as he pointed to a chair a few feet from the feet away from the table.

"Go on little guy. It's ok." Sam cooed as he placed Swindle on the floor and watched him happily run over to the chair and hop up on it. He curled up like a cat and let his tail hang over the edge. Sam chuckled before he walked over to the table and sit in his own chair. He took one bite and chose it best to voice his approval.

"Mmm, this is really good."

"Thank you, I cooked it myself." Starscream replied.

"How? Your hands seem a little to big to hold a frying pan. No offence of course."

"I'll show you, don't be scared. It may seem alittle strange but nothing bad will happen."

Sam watched in shock as Starscream's robotic form began to turn to dust, But instead of just turning into a pile on the floor, it began to shape into a human form. He watched as a skin-like substance covered it all. Clothing appeared instead in the places it belonged.

When everything was over, a teen that was about 17 years old was standing in Starscream's place. He had black hair(Short cut) and red eyes. He wore a red T-shirt, a pair of deep blue jeans, and sneakers.

"S-starscream?"

"Yes Sam, it's me. This is the same method that the girl you knew as Alice used, but this is just a little more complex. we can do this deterioration now and keep our normal forms. We copied the program that the Autobots have. They don't seem to use it very often though."

Sam and Starscream continued to talk as he ate. Once he was done he walked over to him and smiled.

"Thanks for breakfast. It was great."

"Hey, no problem."

"When will Megatron get back?"

"He should be back sometime after noon. He'll talk to you then."

Swindle ran over to Sam and looked up at him pleadingly.

"You want up?" Sam asked as he knelt down.

Swindle nodded before hopping into the boys open arms. Sam chuckled as he felt the sparklings tail wrap around his waist for extra support.

"What do I do while I wait?"

"Well, humans need bathrooms, right?"

"Ya, I'm ok at the moment though."

"I'm guessing you didn't find the bathroom in your room."

"I didn't see one, but I was pretty tired to."

"Come with me." Starscream said as he grabbed one of Sam's hands and gently pulled. Sam followed him out into the hallway and to his room. Once inside, Starscream let go of Sam's hand, who used it to his advantage and switched Swindle to that arm. (He was the same size as Sam, and made of metal to.).

Starscream walked over to one of the walls and Sam noticed what he was up to almost immediately. On the wall, was a small(25 cent piece sized) button that was the same color as the wall but had a black dot in the middle. Starscream pressed it gently and a portion of the wall moved forward and turned to the side like any other door, revealing a bathroom.

"Wow."

"Refresh. You still have a, oh what is the Fraze?.... Pillow head? Ya that's it. Your hair is a mess. The warm water works and all the utensils you need for human routines are inside. I will send someone with food around noon. Whatever you don't eat can go in here." Starscream said as he walked over to the bedside table and opened the cabinet(Sam had been to tired to notice). Sam was surprised to see that it wasn't a cabinet at all, but a fridge instead.

"My roomates would be so jealous of me if they knew about this."

"Ha. One last thing. Over on this wall is a microwave for if you need to heat something up. I don't know about you, but I love midnight snacks."

"Ha ha, me to. Thank you."

"You bet, have fun." Starscream said with a wave before he walked out, closing the door behind himself.

Sam gently placed Swindle on his bed before walking into the bathroom, the door closing automatically behind him. The black light on the button turned green to indicate that he was inside.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

Sam came out of his bathroom after refreshing and taking a nice long shower in nothing but a towel. He walked over to his closet and pulled out a pair of nice jeans, followed by black boxers. He put them on and hung his towel up in the bathroom.

Swindle woke up from his nap and watched as Sam when back to the closet and pulled out a red T-shirt and a 'Fox Racing' hoodie. He walked out and placed both items on the bed. He was about to go grab a pair of socks when he heard a knock on the door. He moaned as his stomach growled. 'Noon already?' Sam thought as he looked at the clock. He walked over to the door and opened it.

A teen with begey jeans and a dark purple T-shirt was standing there with a 'room sirvice' cart. He also had red eyes. Sam was shocked at how much he looked like Starscream.

"Hi, I'm Skywarp." The teen 'con said with a happy-go-lucky smile. "My brother wanted me to bring this for you."

"Thankyou. Please, come in."

Skywarp pushed the cart into the room and smiled when he saw Swindle on the bed.

"Awww. I've never seen him like that. He's normally tring to bite someone in the butt, literally. According to Screamer, he hasn't even attempted to attack you. I really don't get it, but then, I was never good with sparklings."

"So you guys are brothers huh, I thought you looked alike."

"Ya, there's three of us. Thundercracker is the other one. You may not see him around though. He likes to sit in his room and study things. He finds your planet interesting. He's on the lines of what you humans call a bookworm."

"Ha, sounds like a real party goer."

"Ha, ya you bet. Well I'll let you be. Screamer told me to tell you he will let you know when Megatron is ready to see you. He should return in about 30 minutes or so."

"Ok, thankyou again."

"Oh, before I forget." Skywarp took a covered bowl off of the cart and placed it on the floor out of the way of any ones walking. "This is energon for your sparkling friend. Don't touch it." He explained as he removed the lid and revealed the orange liquid.

Swindle jumped off the bed and went over to the bowl. Skywarp cautiously reached out and petted the sparkling before shaking his head and walking to the door.

"Hope to see you around Sam, bye."

"Bye, hope to see you soon to. Tell Thundercracker not to be such a stiff." Sam chuckled.

"I will, don't worry. What good it'll do, I don't know, but I'll try. Well see ya." He said as he wave and left.

Sam walked over to the cart and smiled. There was a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza(already cut), a can of soda, and some napkins. He rolled the cart over to the bed and sat down. He then began to eat and watch Swindle drink his energon.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

After eating, Sam placed the remaining pizza slices into the little fridge and began to finish dressing. He walked to the closet and grabbed a pair of socks. He sat back on the bed and put them on. He then slipped on his T-shirt, covering it with the hoodie next. He then put on a pair of comfortable shoes.

Swindle got full and began to happily chase Sam's feet as he walked over to the Wii. He turned it on and grabbed two remotes. He walked over to the couch and chuckled at the sight of Swindle cutely chasing his tail.

"Glad your in a playful mood, I am to." Sam said as he held out a remote for the catlike 'con. ' If I ever leave, and if I can take him with me, I will make Mikaela so jealous.'

Swindle took the remote and looked at him happily. The two of them started playing all sorts of games and enjoying themselfs to help pass the time.

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

After playing on the Wii for about an hour, Sam heard a knock on the door. He paused the game and walked over to the door, Swindle at his heals once again. He opened the door and smiled when he saw Starscream.

"Megatron's ready to see you, kiddo. I'm happy to tell you that he didn't attack me, so he must be in a good mood. Please try not to upset him though. He has a short fuse."

"Thank you Starscream. I'll keep that in mind."

"I am to escort you to his room. Swindle needs to stay here. Megatron is going to be in his human form so he will be less intimidating. Come on, follow me."

Sam walked out into the hall and closed the door behind him. Starscream lead him down the hall to a door that was painted black and had a Cybertronian symbol on it. Sam looked at the door and read the symbol. 'Commander.' He also saw the name and felt shivers run through his body. 'Megatron.'

"Well, we're here. Good luck. I hope you'll be ok."

"Thank you." Sam replied.

"See you some other time." Starscream said. "Ihopesoanyway." He added quickly in a whisper.

"What?"

"Nothing Sam, nothing." Starscream replied quickly. Sam raised an eyebrow before shaking his head and brushing it off. Starscream knocked on the door before waving and walking away. A moment later the door opened. Sam took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of him.

He was young, about 20. Sam had to admit, he was good looking. He had dark brown hair, and the usual red eyes. He had very gentle features. He looked very sweet, but Sam knew he couldn't be trusted. He was wearing a pair of black jeans, and a dark grey T-shirt. He didn't have any shoes on, just some white socks.

' Wow, glad he went casual, otherwise this would be a lot more awkward than it already is.'

"Hello Sam. Please come in." Megatron said with a kind smile. Sam nervously smiled back and walked in. "Feel free to take off your shoes by the way." Sam gently pulled them off before looking around.

The room was both calming and creepy at the same time. The walls were silver with matching carpet. A desk was off to the side and had an open laptop and a red lava lamp (that was on) siting on it and a chair sitting in front. There was also a bedside table with a red lava lamp turned on. The lighting somehow eased Sam's nerves. He also saw a bed off to the other side of the room that had a black comforter and sheets.

'Oh great. I better ask him now before I do something wrong.' "Umm, so, where would you like me to sit, or stand, if you want me to stand. Whatever you want, you know." Sam began to ramble. Megatron chuckled at Sam's nerves.

"Make yourself comfortable."

"Oh, ok." Sam took a breath and walked over to the bed and sat down. ' Way to look like a dummy Sam.' He thought as he got comfy. He had to force himself not to gasp in shock when Megatron sat next to him. "So, umm. What did you want?"

"I just wanted to talk, your not in any trouble or anything like that."

"Ok, so, what would you like to talk about?"

"You actually." Megatron replied. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Umm, sure. What you got?"

"Soda?"

"Sounds good."

Megatron walked over to the small fridge with the grace of a vampire moving through the night. Sam smiled, he wasn't going to be hurt, thank goodness.

Megatron walked back over and handed Sam an unopened can of Pepsi before siting back down next to him. Sam opened the can and hurd the same poping sound come from his right. ' This really isn't what I expected.'

"Alright Sam, I know you are wondering why I've brought you here." Sam nodded and took a drink of his soda. "I found out something interesting about you." Megatron continued. "I'm surprised the Autobots haven't found out yet. You know that we were hunting for energon Sam, but you don't know the whole reason. We have sparklings that, if they were to hatch, they would become a Decepticon army. But we don't have enough energon, and if we don't find some alternative, they will all die. Swindle was the runt of the hatchlings so he didn't require as much energon, but he was still born with just enough energy to survive. He will still need to take medicine for three earth weeks." He paused and looked at Sam, who was looking at the floor, thinking. "Are you alright?"

"Sorry, don't get angry at me for saying this, but I don't see how that helps me with what I'm doing here." Sam sighed. "I know I allowed Optimus to kill The Fallen and destroy you giant sun-catcher, but what can I do now. I'm sorry about the sparklings, Swindle is adorable and I'm happy to know him. I feel bad that I'm the reason that his siblings may die, but I'm only human."

"Shhh, Sam. That is why I wanted to talk to you." Megatron sighed and gently took Sams empty hand in his own. "Sam...This may sound crazy, and I'm not sure how your going to take it."

Sam gulped and braced himself for whatever Megatron had to tell him.

"Sam, I believe that when you absorbed the power from the cube sliver, you didn't just gain some of it's knowledge, but all of it. I don't think that it has all hit you yet, but I believe that it is slowly awakening, a little at a time....Sam, I believe that you....That you are the allspark."

Sam was silent. He slowly looked up into Megatron's concerned gaze. "Sam..." The boy began to tremble in shock. "Sam..Are you alright?" Megatron placed his and Sam's drinks on the bedside table before sitting back down and pulling Sam into a comforting embrace. He was surprised to feel Sam's arms slip around his waist in return. Slowly, he began to rock the boy back and forth. "Shhh, it's gonna be ok, I promise." Sam shook some more before breaking down and sobbing loudly into Megatron's chest. "Shhh, it's ok. It's ok." Megatron continued, rubbing small circles on the boys back.

After about 4 minutes, Sam pulled away a little to look at Megatron.

"Are you positive about this?" He asked through hiccups.

"Yes" Megatron whispered as he wiped away the tears from Sam's face. (Sam in return blushed.) "If you want proof, Sam, just look at Swindle."

"What about him?" Sam replied, hiccuping again.

"Two things. I know that Starscream and Skywarp told you about Swindles behavior before you arrived. He was born to be a wild Decepticon warrior, but the moment you touched him, he turned as sweet as a kitten. Also, his name, how did you find that out?"

"Easy, it was written on a tag around his neck... Wait..."

"Exactly. It was written in Cybertronian." Megatron explained. Call it unknowingly cheating, but Swindle became my way of seeing if mine and The Fallen's assumptions were true. I didn't mean him to be, but as fate would have it, he was in your room."

"But this means your going to use me against the Autobots!" Sam exclaimed. "I refuse!" He said as he tried to escape Megatron's soft grip, but it tightened as he started to get free.

"Sam! Sam please! Calm down, please!"

Sam was shocked to hear a caring plead in his words. He stopped struggling but stayed tense. He felt the weight shift on the bed and Magatron's grip lossin. The next thing that he knew, Megatron's hands were on his shoulders and beginning to kneed.

"Mmmm." Sam moaned as he closed his eyes and relaxed into the sweet touch.

"Now Sam, please relax and let me finish what I was saying." Megatron whispered into the boys ear softly, sending a chill through his body. "Now, I don't plan on using you as a weapon, I can't. Unlike the original allspark, you are a conscious being with a pure heart. Therefore, you have control over how and what your power works at. If I used you to awaken the sparklings, they would all turnout like Swindle." He explained as he continued to massage Sam's shoulders.

"Then why are you even telling me all this?

"I knew the Autobots didn't know and I felt you deserved to know. You could have severely hurt yourself if you didn't know what was going on." Megatron slowly slid his hands down Sam's arms and took the boys own hands in them. "Believe it or not Sam, but I do care about you. I admire your courage, your will, your strength. Look at you. I'm proud of you. I'm sure this must be hard, sitting here with me. I'm sure you are nervous, and I don't blame you, but your still staying strong. I was worried you would fight more than what you did. I'm glad you didn't." Megatron pulled Sam back against him in another embrace.

"Why would I fight? I will only fight when you give me a reason to, and other than you scaring me earlier, I have found no threat behind your hospitality." Sam leaned in to the embrace, enjoying the warmth and showing that he meant what he said.

"Shhh, Sam. Just for a while, I want you to forget all the pain I have caused. Please just sit here with me....Enjoy this." Megatron whispered into Sams ear. Sam smiled and relaxed somemore, almost going limp in Megatron's arms.

' How can I resist him. It just feels so nice. I don't see Mikaela very often anymore, so I don't get held much. College has become so time consuming. We chat almost every week, but if I have studies, and normally I do, I miss our chats. We just always seem to be falling apart.'

Sam's eyelids slowly began to feel heavy. He yawned and stretched before relaxing again.

"You look like you could use a nap kiddo." Megatron said with a chuckle. "Lay down, I'll let you sleep. We can finish talking about what I have planed for you later."

Sam nodded, yawned, and crawled onto the bed. He slipped under the covers and began to shake a little.

"Sam? What's wrong?" Megatrons voice was full of true concern. Sam looked up at him and sighed.

' I may as well tell him the truth. He'd find out when I wake up screaming anyway." Taking a deep breath, he began to explain. "For the past few weeks I've been having the same nightmare over and over again."

"About what?" Megatron asked, already sure he knew the answer.

"Optimus's death." Sam mumbled, he was surprised Megatron even hurd him.

"About this morning, I said that you still blamed yourself. I'm sorry about that. It's true, isn't it."

"Yes." Sam replied, as tears began to form in his eyes. Megatron slipped in under the covers next to him and pulled him in close. Sam rested his head against Megatron's chest and began to cry. He pulled Megatron as close to himself as he could.

"Shhh, I'm here. Optimus is fine now, you saved him. He dosn't blame you. He would be upset if he knew you did."

"I know." Sam sobbed. "But he was protecting me."

"Shhh, it was my fault, not yours. I did it, not you. It's ok..." Megatron gently stroked the back of Sam's head, feeling his soft, conditioned hair.

After a short while, Sam had cried himself to sleep. Megatron smiled and continued to hold him close. 'Sleep well Sam. I'll be here for you. I promise..." Megatron kissed the top of Sam's head before slowly slipping into recharge. The last things he saw and heard was a flash of blue and a soft hum. But a small, pleasurable, wave of energy went through his body and lulled him into a peaceful sleep.
