Chapter 24: Sparklings

Megatron was taking a nap as Illusion and Bumblebee were taking care of the sparklings. "|Should we let the others in???|" Bumblebee looks over at the door before answering Illusion. "|We probably should...|" Illusion hands Ghost to Bumblebee as she walks over to the door. "|You guys can get in.|" The rest of the Autobots walk in, as they look at the small sparklings. "Look at them!" Arcee looks at Meteora who was sleeping peacefully against Bumblebee. "They're adorable now. Imagine how they will be in the future..." Rachet hits UltraMagnus by his shoulder. "They're still sparklings, let them be..." Smokescreen chuckles as he watches UltraMagnus get scolded by Rachet. Illusion suddenly passes Ghost to Optimus as he tried holding the tiny sparkling carefully. "|You need the practice once Bumblebee has your sparkling. He's already an expert.|" Bumblebee sighs heavily as he held the small femme, who was sleeping peacefully. "If you ask me, Bumblebee would probably steal that sparkling and take care of it." Arcee elbows CliffJumper as he chuckles slightly. "|Yeah right. Megatron would kill him if he tried. He's not risking it...|" Optimus sits next to Bumblebee, who was rocking the small sparkling. "|She's quite peaceful when she's asleep...|" Bumblebee places his helm on Optimus's shoulder, still looking at the small sparkling. "|Do you think our sparkling will be a peaceful one...?|" Optimus chuckles, as he continues glancing back at the small mech who was falling asleep as well. "Maybe..."

After StarScream woke up, the Autobots and humans left, promising StarScream they'll visit often. They were walking back to their camp, as Iris was pulling her sleeping bag out. "We should probably find a more permanent place to stay so we don't deal with any issues or problems if people found us..." Iris slips into her sleeping bag, as she looks at the stars. "There may be a solution." Noah pulls out the card he got from his interview, showing it to Iris. "They're a secret government organization and they offered me a job to help them and-" He motions Iris to the Autobots. "Them too. They specialize on global threats and other stuff and well... They said that we're in the middle of a war and need my help and with the Decepticons arriving here, there can be more threats coming towards earth." Iris looks back at Optimus, who heard everything. "So. What's the plan Optimus?" Iris looks at Optimus, worried. "Hmmm.... Noah." Noah looks up at Optimus. "Can you go and inform this government we're willing to negotiate with them." Noah nods his head, as he prepares to sleep. Bumblebee looks at Optimus and Illusion talk, placing his hand gently over his belly. "|And to think you're coming really soon....|"

After a few hours of waiting in the woods, Noah comes back, waving a sort of letter on his hand. "They agreed Optimus! They said to meet them at this very location to negotiate." Optimus goes into his alt mode, as well as the other Autobots, except Bumblebee. "I can't transform..." Mirage changes back to his normal form, looking back at the others. "I'm staying behind with Bee. You guys go without us and inform us how it goes." Optimus nods, as he and the others drive away. "C'mon Bee, let's try to get our minds off this whole 'meeting' thing." Bumblebee nods as he looks back where the others headed towards.

Optimus was talking with one of the agents as the others were looking around. "I'm surprised that you are willing to negotiate with 'aliens'." Arcee and CliffJumper were looking at the entrance, worried about Bumblebee and Mirage. "|Worried about them?|" Illusion looks at them, as they turned around. "How do we get Bee here if he can't transform...?" Illusion shrugs, as she walks back to Optimus, whispering in his ear. "I feel like they planned this already...." Arcee snickers as CliffJumper smiles a bit. "This is why I love you Cliff." CliffJumper chuckles a bit, as he and Arcee walk towards the others.

Illusion was driving back to the others, bringing Mirage and Bumblebee to the military base. "|HEY GUYS! I'M -|" She suddenly hears crying. She begins walking towards the sound, as voices began getting clearer. She suddenly runs into Mirage, as they tumble down. "|What's going on!? Is everything....|" She walks towards Bumblebee, who was holding something. "|Al.....right....|" Bumblebee held the small sparkling, who was softly crying against his chest. She sits down, as Bumblebee comforts the small mech in his arms, rocking him to recharge. "|Oh, Bee....|" Bumblebee slowly passes the small mech to Illusion, as she watches the small sparkling yawn as he began closing his optics slowly. "|......so you can transform now huh?|" Bumblebee chuckles as they got up. Illusion suddenly gets a call, as she passes the small mech to Mirage. "|Drop my nephew and I'll turn you into scrap!|" Mirage holds the tiny sparkling closely as she answers the call. "Hey Optimus!" She shows the screen to Bumblebee who waved back. "|We're about to go to the base. Quite excited!|" Optimus noticed Mirage walking behind, having something in his arms. "What is Mirage holding?" Illusion looks back at Mirage, as she slowly gets him away from the screen. "|Nothing. His arms are just crossed.|" There was awkward silence, the only sounds heard was the leaves being crushed under them as they walk towards the military base. "Okay then." Illusion continues distracting Optimus as Mirage quickly hands the small mech to Bumblebee. "You do want to surprise him right?" Bumblebee nods as Mirage sighs heavily. "|Yes and we're gonna have to keep it a surprise.|" After 30 miserable minutes of talking, they were able to end the call with Optimus not suspecting anything. "|I thought that would last for hours.....|" Bumblebee held the small sparkling who was still recharging peacefully. Illusion continues walking next to him as Mirage walked in front of them. "So, we just walk in, Bumblebee holding THEIR sparkling who was just born a few hours ago." Illusion and Bumblebee looks at him, chuckling. "|I guess.|" Mirage looks at the small mech, recharging safely against his carrier.















"What are we gonna call him?"
