~~~Megatron POV~~~

It started out like any other day. Online, get breakfast, worked while Ashe helped and played. I remembered that I was filled with confusion and joy, but the biggest emotion that took over me was always a pulsing in my spark. My Spark always felt like it's chamber was constricting, like my Spark was about to burst out of my chest. 

Just How could I tell my over-grown feelings to Ashe? After all I was just a 'robot' to humans, nothing more than that. There was no chance for me to push into Ashe's way to tell him that I truly loved him. And even if I did tell, how would Ashe react? 

'I still needed to have a talk with Ashe about what I'm feeling, but that can wait for another day.' That's what had crossed my mind for a week straight. I've been backing out.

I was afraid to say anything. I didn't want to break what we already had built. I needed too, I WANTED too. How different would it be? Would anything change? 

But in the end.

It did change.

I asked Ashe... 

I had down right came out that day and confessed. 

But Ashe's eyes spoke volumes.

"You, What?"

"Ashe. I must confess. 

I've kept my feelings for you contained as long as I can.

My Spark is hungry for your love, but my mind is aware of what it cannot have. I know we belong to different worlds, so then why did you come and change everything in my life?

I have spent my life waiting--not living, not loving, just waiting for the one that would inspire me to be all I can be, to live up to all my possibilities, to reach every goal, to know that I may fail sometimes, but I will never be alone. I thought for eons that I couldn't possibly ever know Love, that I, as a monster couldn't Love. 

Then You came along.

You brought to my cold, empty Spark a passion only you could bring. Your words of acceptance and love have soothed the aching I didn't know was there in my empty Spark, and now I am at peace with myself and the world around me. I knew that one day when I found you, those bold words, that maybe my waiting would be over. 

I am in love with you, and true, honest love should not be contained and kept quiet forever. There is so much about you that most others don't see. They only see the physical. They see your body, but my love for you is more than that. My feelings for you grow every day, and my love grows deeper with every passing minute.

You mean so much to me. Just seeing your smiling face or hearing your heart-melting voice brightens up my worst days and makes them more than just bearable. Just having a hug from you makes me feel warm and cozy inside. I dream of you day in and day out; you're the only one on my mind now. I am in love with you and have been in love with you since I can't remember when!

I love you with every ounce of my being. Yours is the first name I call out in the Morning, and the last one I whisper at Night."

There I said it, I told Ashe how I felt. It's all out there!

"Why?"

I looked at Ashe standing on the nightstand as if He'd just asked me to count every leaf on every tree. "Because... you're you."

I did nothing more than wait for a reply... 

But all I had gotten in return...

How had I truly fallen in love with Ashe?

I didn't know, nor did I care to find out at that moment.

I closed my optics and sighed. Although I knew, now and forever that I was enchanted by Ashe, and nothing had ever scared me more.

Except For The Moment He Ran Out On Me.

Things Really Did Change...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later That Night~~~~~~~~

I didn't know how long I sat on my berth.

I just know that Ashe, the very person I love, ran out without saying anything. 

I wanted to go after him... 

But I didn't.

Why Didn't I?

*Knock* *Knock*

I looked at the door.  "Lord Megatron?"

That was KnockOut's voice. 

"Yes?" I voiced out. "May we come in?" Knockout Asked. We? "Yes." I replied, as when the door opened, Standing there was  Knockout, BreakDown, and Soundwave. "We came to ask if you are... Alright?" BreakDown said. 

"Did you all come just so see if I was Alright?" I asked, "We did. DreadWing, StarScream, and Arachnid are trying to calm the troops. They are also... Worried..." Knockout explained. 

"We, or SoundWave, Saw Ashe leave and bridge in a rush... That's not normally him... Did you.. uh." Knockout said. "I told him how I felt." I said. "All he said before rushing out was that, He Didn't Know... Ashe obviously didn't know his own feelings... Even though I feel upset, I know better. That I had to give Ashe time to think and feel things over..." I said remembering to not let the negative emotions rise.

Soundwave nodded, then something pinged on his visor. It looked to be coordinates and a distress call...

From Ashe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Even if I felt bad from rejection I couldn't blame Ashe. Even I was unaware of my feelings for him for quite sometime, only till someone asked or said something did I really think about it. Now me and Soundwave are currently on our way to Ashe's location.

Walking Further into the Abandoned Decepticon Mine, I could hear faint clicking noises. Soundwave has also picked up on these noises, but they soon stopped as we entered the large carved out cave room. In the very center was a Rockpile and at the top of it, Ashe in an Insecticons grasp. I felt concern pass through me, as Ashe stopped his struggling to look towards me.

"Insecticon, Bow before Megatron. Your Leader." I spoke to take command of this situation quickly, all Insecticons are affiliated with the Decepticons and are under my command. The Insecticon gave out a gruff laugh. "HardShell, does not bow to one so weak." It spoke.

I needed to take command of this situation, to get Ashe to safety. Maybe it did not know Ashe was part of the Decepticons? But now it seemed as if it does not care to be part of the Decepticons. "Weak is hardly what anyone would call me." I spoke back risking a few steps closer. The Insecticon grasped Ashe tighter, and he started struggling again. "Then prove to me you are Strong as this Little Human had said." the Insecticon said.

I aimed my cannon arm to threaten this HardShell, but it did not last very long.

A Different Insecticon had jumped me from behind as SoundWave was rammed into by yet another one. I rolled with the momentum and flung the Insecticon into the wall as it just got back up and screeched.

The Insecticon I was now fighting ran at me as I put up my Cannon to try and take a point blank shot but the Insecticon's hand knocked my arm away before it grabbed and tossed me by my helm. I caught myself and skidded back near the wall, as the Insecticon pinned me against the rock wall. I caught sight behind the Insecticon's shoulder at the one holding Ashe from a Cliff Side. 

HardShell held Ashe looked from me to Ashe then tossed him against the rock wall. "NO!" I yelled still pinned to the wall. When Ashe landed he went limp. It felt wrong seeing Ashe like that. My spark tore at it's self, Ashe better be alive. 

The Insecticon pinning me noticed what happened. It laughed. 

"Little Pest easy to kill and squash. You will fall next." 

I stopped my struggling at those words. It felt like the world was Spinning. I couldn't even began to comprehend what I was feeling. I felt to many emotions pass by, but I did recognize at least two of them.

I felt Sorrow and Blind Rage.

My Spark HURT. 

These Beasts possibly killed the one thing I treasured so close to my Spark. Even if Ashe had no feelings returned I would still wish for him to be by my side. Even if Ashe said he would want space, I would do so if I could still see him. 

But If Ashe did return those feelings.. 

THEY HAVE THE GALL TO LAUGH ABOUT IT?!

I Felt The Blind Rage and used it.

I got my arm unpinned and blast the Insecticon. It went flying back before turning into a Flying Beetle. It went straight for me again, too quick to aim my arm cannon again. I was grabbed and thrown against the wall before being tossed upward into the air.

The Insecticon flew up at me from behind and slashed my left shoulder, before turning around and blasting me down into the cave floor. I felt Rage but Sorrow was dragging me down.

"...Megatron..." I heard the small voice echo in the cave, I looked at Ashe who was awake on the cliff side looking down to me. He looked at me in worry, looking at my shoulder wound. Ashe was alive...

Sorrow faded as Rage came back, roaring to life.

HOW DARE THEY HURT HIM!

 I needed to get to Ashe.

The Insecticon was trying to ram at me again, but I now had my strength back to 'Bitch-Slap' it back into the cave wall. "You All Would Do Well To Remember, I Honed My Skills In The Pits Of Kaon!!!" I yelled at the the Insecticons, as I decided to use my Blade.

I ran at the Insecticon as we got into a tussle. His strength vs mine. We clashed for who knows how long. All I knew was that Ashe was Mine and I needed to get to Him. I started to get back into the old me, Megatronus of the Pits of Kaon.

~~~

"Megatronus! Megatronus!" the crowd cheered all around him.

Gladiator and rising star of the Pits of Kaon, Megatronus looked at all the Mechs and Femmes who had gathered to see him fighting in his latest fight. The Cybertronians who had came to see him fighting where those of Cybertron who didn't need to worry about where their next Energon was coming from. They had plenty of Credits that they could pay for lavish things. 

Unlike the Mechs and Femmes that they were there to see fight each other or the giant Mecha-Beasts. Megatronus snarled as he thought of the hard life that he had. First he was a miner in the Energon Mines under Kaon. Then he managed to get a slightly better life when he came into the spotlight of the gladiator fights. He was a know household name in Kaon.

Megatronus raised both of his hands in the air. The screaming from the stands got louder as he basked in their glory. Megatronus had gained a following in the crowd. They loved him. They always wanted to see him fight whatever big beast the organizers could find for him to fight. It was either that or another Mech who he had gotten to known in the Pits. That was dangerous to make friends with the other Gladiators in the Pit. They didn't know when they were going to be forced to fight against each other for the entertainment of others.

"My fellow Cybertronians for far too long we have been living in separate worlds. It is time to end the slavery that has destroyed our world! There was once a time when all of Cybertron stood together!" he shouted to everyone. He spun around as he looked at all the Cybertronians in the stands along with the other gladiators and slaves. His red optics were bright as he spoke what had been on his mind for many vorns. 

He had seen the worst that Cybertron had to offer in the mines and then in the Pits of Kaon. He had seen the inequality that his people had been forced to face under the Autobot Council lead by Sentinel Prime. The Prime didn't care for Cybertron, only himself. "It is time that we end the corruption in the government and bring about a new age for our people! One where we all are Equal! Where We Are One!" he shouted to the crowd.

The crowd that had come to see Energon being spilt in the arena had stopped cheering and where staring at Megatronus. Different colored optics could only stare at the gun-grey Mech that only a moments ago had been fighting a monster for their entertainment. Whispers spread about all the Cybertronians as they took in what Megatronus had just said to them. There was a lot of them who agreed with what he was saying. Soon the whispers became shouts and once again Megatronus's name was being called out.

"Megatronus! Megatronus!"

Much Energon was spilt in those Pits for Entertainment. 

Much Energon Was Spilt Over Inequality.

~~~~~~~~~

I jumped back on instinct then felt another Mech jump back into me, behind me was SoundWave. I recognized his small yet deadly frame from instinct. We were back to back, both of us facing our own Insecticon. We both were from the Pits of Kaon, these Insecticons barely hold a candle to what Monstrosities we have faced in the arena.

Even if our Matches were separate, we have fought on the Battle field just as long and with just as much ferocity. I met Soundwave in Kaon's Gladiator Pit. SoundWave was the only Mech that was able to give me an extreme challenge, and when I was about to strike the final blow, I refused to kill him out of respect.

I took a quick glance over my shoulder at SoundWave and he gave a nod. HardShell lunged at both of us as the other two followed suit.

"HA!" 

Ashe had jumped off the ledge to bring his Axe-Bass down on top of HardShell's helm, before backflipping off onto the ground near SoundWave and I. The helm had a small gash, if a lot more pressure was applied HardShell's helm would have been split in two.

Ashe's Axe-Bass, is made from something quite sturdy and sharp enough to cut Cybertronian Metal. "Three v Three is more fair. Let's show these Insects how Strong we are, Right!" Ashe happily Cheered as SoundWave and I nodded.

It was us vs them now.

Megatron, Ashe, and Soundwave vs. Hard Shell, KickBack, and SharpShot

(I love this video BTW. If Megatron and Ashe had a Theme Song/ Battle Song. 'Just Imagine Weiss is actually Ashe')

(insert extreme fight sequence here. Has wall running, possible anime moves and poses, smack talk, wrestle mania moves, and excessive bad-aft vibes)

{I can't write fight scenes to save my life.}

~~~~~Skip~~~~

Soon enough the three insecticons were now lying together in a scrap heap. I was about to walk over and kill the fools when Ashe had stopped me, "Megs." 

I had crouched down to get a look at Ashe better. Ashe silently asked for me to pick him up, he looked almost guilty. 

"I'm sorry I ran out. I just... It's just hard to believe you accepted me. Everyone always goes way and just..."

"I don't want you to go... I love you.."

It was said so quietly but I heard him. I gently lifted his head with a finger. "Look at me Ashe." I softly asked.

"I love you, for you. And because I've never been happier. You make me Happy. Something, I had forgotten about. The feeling I've never truly felt for so long."

Ashe clung to my finger and I let him. Ashe was so scared I would leave like so many before, I, We Decepticons would never do that to Ashe.

Ashe means everything to us.

Ashe looked u at me and climbed up my hand. I thought he wanted a Nuzzle, but instead...

What I actually got...

A Kiss...

So Small... Yet so Warm...

"Let's Go Home. Please." Ashe said, I could only nod. I was so wrapped around Ashe's Finger that I left the Pile of Insecticons who chirped at SoundWave in conversation I left with Ashe safely in my grasp.
