Chapter 2: The Proposal

Meanwhile, on the Nemesis, Megatron was standing on the bridge while brooding about the war on Cybertron. While he was busy brooding, Starscream came to report to his lord and master about something.


"Master," Starscream said to Megatron.


"Starscream, report," Megatron ordered.


"Dreadwing, Skyquake, and Overload have completed their mission in gathering a full supply of Energon for us, my liege," Starscream reported.


"And?" Megatron asked.


"We have managed to wipe out any of the Autobots who dared to oppose us, Master," Starscream said.


"Good. Let it be known to the Autobots that we Decepticons can have as many Energon as we desired." Megatron paused before he turned to face the seeker commander, "Now tell me something, Starscream: do you believe in destiny?" he asked.


"Yes, my liege. I have high hopes for the future that the Autobots will fail and lose the great war and that they would all be willing to bow down before us, Lord Megatron." Starscream said.


"Do not believe in such things as 'hope' Starscream. Hope is only meant for the weak," Megatron replied.


"Forgive me, Master." Starscream apologized. "I do have one question though if you don't mind me asking." He continued.


"Go on?" Megatron said.


"Since we're in the middle of warfare, doesn't it bother you that you are forgetting something?" Starscream asked.


"And what is it that I am forgetting, Starscream?" asked Megatron.


Starscream paused before he answered carefully, "Do...do you remember that femme bot that you met when you were once a gladiator? The one that you proposed to be your bride when you chose a crusade in politics?" the seeker asked.


"You mean Firestar?" Megatron answered before he rubbed his chin in thought, "Hmmm...Yes, I do remember her and I do remember our engagement. I haven't seen her in months." the Decepticon warlord said.


"Do you not want her to be your conjunx-endura?" asked Starscream.


"Of course I want her to be mine! I'm not a fool." Megatron snapped at Starscream.


"My liege, do you love her?" Starscream asked.


Megatron was going to answer when one of the Vehicons interrupted to report to their master.


"Lord Megatron. We have a visitor." A Vehicon said.


"Really? Tell me, who is it this time?" Megatron asked, feeling impatient.


"It's your sparkmate, Firestar. She wishes to speak with you." said the Vehicon named, Steve.


Megatron's optics widened with surprise. He realized that he was so preoccupied with leading his Decepticons into battle for Cybertron that he had completely forgotten about his fiancé. Megatron ordered his fellow Decepticons to let him meet with Firestar alone at Kaon and he transformed into a Cybertronian jet before he leaves the Nemesis as he began searching for his future conjunx-endura. Firestar was all by herself and she had requested the Vehicons to let her have an audience with her future husband. When Megatron found his sparkmate alone and waiting for him, he transforms back into his robot form as he lands on the ground before he walks up to Firestar who was relieved to see Megatron alive and unharmed.


"Megatronus! Thank the Allspark you're okay." Firestar said.


"I go by the name 'Megatron' now, my dear," Megatron told his sparkmate. "Tell me, Firestar. What are you doing out here?" he asked.


"I came to see you again, my love," Firestar responded. "Megatron, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Ever since the war on Cybertron began and I had heard about the things you were doing, I was so afraid. I was afraid of losing you!" The femme bot said out of concern.


"I can assure you, darling, that nothing will ever keep me away from you. The fact is, Firestar, the great war had to happen for it became necessary due to the corruption of the political and the fact that the council disallowed me to overthrow Sentinel Zeta Prime by force." Megatron told Firestar.


"I've heard about what happened with the council and how you were rejected because you wanted to be the next Prime," Firestar said. "I am very sorry to hear that they wouldn't accept your proposal for a just society."


"Yes, it is rather unfortunate that things change and it didn't have to be this way. But in all honesty, I am ultimately glad to see you again, my dear sparkmate." Megatron crooned.


"Megatron? I have made my decision to join you, but not as a Decepticon...but as your bride." Firestar told her lover. "I came all this way, away from Iacon and the Autobots to be with you...forever," she said.


"You...you wish to be my conjunx-endura?" Megatron asked.


"Yes, but if we are to have a future together then it has to begin, now," Firestar replied. "Megatron, I love you with all my spark and I will follow wherever you go. Anywhere you go, please let me go with you too! Ohh, I can't deny it any longer than I already have!" she cried.


"Firestar..." Megatron whispered gently to his sparkmate.


As tears began to fall from Firestar's metal cheeks, Megatron gently lifts her chin with one claw before the pair gazed into each other's optics. Firestar could see that Megatron has changed since she last saw him. His optics were changed from sky blue to ruby red, his teeth were now sharp and pointy, his face was dark with some battle scars and Megatron's gaze was more hypnotic and intoxicating for Firestar to even resist. The two looked at each other with half-closed optics before they drew their faces closer to each other for a romantic kiss. Megatron moved his tongue inside of Firestar's mouth, savoring the saliva and the warmth from it as both he and she moaned in pleasure before making out while embracing each other.


After kissing each other, Megatron caresses Firestar's cheek before he gives her a stern look and he asks the femme bot if she's willing to marry him.


"Are you sure you want to stay with me forever?" asked Megatron.


"Yes," Firestar replied.


"Do you promise to love me, to honor me, and to trust me?" Megatron asked.


"Yes, Megatron," Firestar answered.


"Then I have a proposal for you: join me and together we will make things right." Megatron began, "We will rule the Decepticon empire together and we will reign over Kaon and Cybertron will be at peace when the great war is over. With you by my side as my queen."


"And I vow that I will be with you...always," said Firestar.


"Remember...You are mine. No one else will have you, but me. Do you understand?" Megatron asked with a serious expression on his face as he held his sparkmate's chin up.


"Yes, Megatron. I promise that I'll stay by your side." Firestar promised.


"Then what do you say, my dear? Will you marry me?" Megatron asked.


"Yes. A thousand times, yes." Firestar answered.


Megatron and Firestar smiled at each other as they embraced each other once more before they slowly leaned their faces closer for another kiss. When suddenly, they were startled by the sound of desperate cries coming from a certain fire engine Autobot by the name, Inferno.


"STOP!!!" Inferno yelled in desperation.
