The little warlord was with them for almost a week. They struggled with him when Megatron took control. He would try to harm the little one and didn't seem to care about the consequences. Optimus did everything he could to protect Megatronus from harm. He was determined to protect him from himself. As time passed Megatron struggled to gain control and slowly started to fade away. None of them knew this though.

One day Wheeljack got irritated with the sparkling as he ran around making random noises. Bumblebee and Smokescreen ran after him and tried to play with him. The sparkling continued to yell randomly and the wrecker growled angrily. He picked up the sparkling and glared at him.

"Quit your yapping." He muttered and the sparkling huffed angrily as he pouted. He tried kicking the wrecker and yelled at him.

"Thats it ya little brat." He growled and tossed him in the closet. He closed the door and leaned against it as he folded his arms. The others just stared at him.

"You guys thought I was bad." Ratchet scoffed and continued typing. They looked at the wrecker and listened to the sparkling yell at him.

"What?" He muttered and the yelling stopped. It was quiet for a while and they looked at the door.

Wheeljack glanced at it and waited for a while. He moved and carefully opened the door. They stared optics wide as Megatron sat on the floor. He was surrounded by dead scraplets he had found. He was chewing on one and he looked at them.

"Um.... why are those still here?" Bulkhead asked hesitantly. They just stared then looked at Ratchet again.

"What?" He asked grumpily and glared at them. "I have a purpose for keeping them." He snapped angrily.

"You have weird hobbies." Smokescreen muttered and they decided to leave the sparkling alone as he played happily.

"It's a little eerie." Wheeljack muttered and walked off.

Later Megatron set the scraplets around in different places and giggled hysterically as he scared people. He found it funny and continued to scare the bots. They would yell at him and he would run off as he laughed.

Optimus was walking down the hall when he heard Bumblebee yell in surprise. He furrowed his optic ridges and followed the sound. He turned the corner and froze when he saw a scraplet. He transformed his servo into his cannon and aimed at the small thing. He frowned as he stepped closer and realized it hadn't moved. He walked over and crouched down then saw it had a smashed head. He poked it with a digit and it fell over. He slowly stood up and walked to the main room. He stopped suddenly when he saw the sparkling standing on a box. The scraplets were set up like an army around the little warlord.

"I'm youw leadew!" He yelled and raised his servo in the air. "You wiw pway with me! Now!" He shouted and stomped his ped as he glared. The scraplets just stood there in their perfect rows. He huffed angrily and got down then started pacing.

"I am da leadew of the Decepticons. You awe my awmy!" He shouted. "We will wise to powew and take ower da wowld!" He said and started laughing. It was more of a high pitched squealing laugh. One of the scraplets few over and knocked another one down.

"You dawe defy me?" He asked as he stopped and glared at the dead scraplets. He aimed his cannon at the one that fell over.

"Stand up soldews!" He yelled and glared darkly. It didn't move and he stomped his ped angrily. "Stand up!" He shrieked. The room was silent except for Ratchet typing. Everyone else had left for patrol or just to avoid the sparkling. Optimus watched quietly and thought for a moment.

"Get up!" The warlord shouted and stood it and the other up. They fell over and knocked over a row.

He yelled angrily as tears fell down his faceplate and he shot the scraplets. After a moment there were just parts and scorch marks on the floor. He glared at the dead scraplets as his cannon smoked. The medic looked over at the destruction and narrowed his optics.

"Megatron! I needed that!" He yelled angrily and looked at him. "I needed all of them!" He snapped.

The sparkling looked at him and glared as he stuck out his tongue. Angry tears ran down his faceplate and he choked back a sob.

"I hate you!" He screamed angrily. "I hate you all!" His voice squeaked.

"If that's supposed to hurt my feelings it didn't work." Ratchet muttered and folded his arms. "I already know you hate us." He scoffed. The sparkling glared and stomped his ped angrily.

"I hate you! Cause you hate me!!" He shouted and sobbed harder.

"You said it not me." He mumbled and the sparkling burst into tears as he ran passed Optimus and down the hall.

The Prime looked at his friend and narrowed his optics. It wasn't the best way to handle things. He turned and walked down the hall to find him. After a little while he found the sparkling hiding in the energon storage room. He stood by the door as he listened to him talk.

"You wike me... you awe my onwy fwiend...." he mumbled and sniffed sadly. Optimus quietly walked around and peeked in the corner. The little sparkling was holding a scraplet that hadn't been destroyed. He used his sharp digit to scratch a name in it.

"Hello Welker.... my name is... Mega... Megatw.... Megatwonus...." he mumbled and sighed quietly. Optimus walked over and crouched by his side. He gently set a servo on his little helm.

"I apologize.... for the way he acted." He muttered and the sparkling looked up at him. He hung his little helm and nodded slowly as he sniffed sadly. They sat there for a while in silence. The sparkling opened his chest chassis and shoved the scraplet inside.

"Wook...." he sniffed sadly and watched the metal monster. "It fits..." he mumbled and Optimus smiled sadly. He slowly stood up and grabbed a cube of energon.

"Come." He muttered and started walking away. Megatronus closed his chest chassis and climbed down.

He followed the Prime and grunted as he jumped and tried to hold his digits. Optimus stopped suddenly and looked at him. He hesitated then bent down and picked him up. He walked into the main room and set him on the berth. He sat by him and crushed the cube in his servo. He carefully set it by him and watched him consume it. He walked off for a moment to speak with Ratchet.

A half hour later, Optimus stared at the little sparkling that sat on the berth. He watched him carefully and noticed he was crying quietly. The Prime silently walked over and sat by him. The sparkling quickly wiped his tears away angrily and sniffed sadly. The two were quiet for a few minutes.

"What troubles you Megatronus?" He asked quietly as he looked at him. The sparkling was silent for a while before staring up at him.

"They abandoned me..." he whispered quietly as his optics filled with tears.

"Why would they abandon me?" He sobbed as his tears fell. The Prime watched him sadly and his optics widened in surprise as the sparkling hugged him, the best he could and sobbed uncontrollably.

"No one likes me Optimws.... why do they hate me... I just want a fwiend." He sobbed harder. The Prime stared at him then gently picked him up and hugged him.

"I... am your friend, Megatronus... I always will be...." he mumbled and listened to him cry.
