Rated: M
Pairing: Shockwave/Blurr/Megatron
Disclaimer: Hasbro still refuses to give them up.
Summary: Shockwave, at the last minute decides not to kill Blurr and takes him prisoner instead. After escaping from the Autobots he takes his prisoner back to the Nemesis. Shockwave is not the only one interested in his new pet though. Megatron is enthralled too.


Megatron studied the recharging form of his lover. They had not had much time to spend with each other since his mate had returned, prize in tow. It had been difficult to wait, to not touch what was his while Shockwave got his Autobot settled in. It had amused the warlord that his usually cool and collected mate was so smitten with the young former Elite Guard mech. He had given Shockwave permission to bring Blurr to the Nemesis once he had completed his mission, wanting to be the ‘Bot who had enraptured his mate. Shockwave had chosen well.

Blurr was a sweet little thing, all sleek curves and large, frightened optics He was also loyal, dedicated, and was slowly adapting to the Decepticon way of life. He would make a fine Decepticon, and a fine berthmate. A predatory grin stretched across Megatron’s face. Oh yes, the young mech would look gorgeous, valve stretched around his spike while Shockwave took his pretty lips. He would have to make that happen soon. Not yet, however. Blurr was still far too skittish around him. Not to mention that he was still recovering from the attempted assault. Shockwave was making progress, but Blurr was not yet ready for them both.

‘Ah, well,’ Megatron mused as his berthmate stirred, optic brightening with hunger. He turned his attention to the powerful body pinned beneath him. His mate was more than capable of entertaining him until they claimed their prize.

Blurr barely saw the punch coming. He reacted swiftly, stepping to the side while blocking and trapping his attacker’s fist. He twisted the appendage violently as he stepped outward, using the momentum and controlled arm to take his attacker to the ground. Kicking the mech away from him, he turned to face his next opponent. He didn’t know how long he had been fighting, but it felt like forever. Every time he managed to take out a mech another took his place. But that was the point of the drill. They were testing not only his hand-to-hand combat skills and reaction time, but also his endurance.

“Enough.” Blurr had never been so grateful to hear the command. Autobot Boot Camp had not been anywhere near as difficult as this! The young mech fought to still his trembling legs, desperate to not collapse and make a fool of himself in front of Lord Megatron.

“You have done well Blurr. It is custom that when a mech completes this portion of his training that he choose a weapon. Come. Shockwave will meet us in the armory.” Blurr’s exhaustion disappeared. Finally, he could have a weapon!

“Yes, sir,’ he saluted sharply and joined his lord as the silver mech left the room. They walked in silence as Blurr basked in his triumph. He didn’t notice as sharp red eyes watched him. Spotting his lover? waiting for them, Blurr smiled.

“Shockwave! I passed!”

“Very good Blurr. You have improved exponentially.”The speedster glowed under the praise. Megatron placed his hand on the smaller mech’s should and guided him into the armory. Blurr gasped.

Weapons were everywhere. They hung on the walls, from the ceiling, were held up by weapons racks organized in rows all across the floor… it was amazing. And very well organized. Blurr could see that the guns were all grouped together on the wall to his left, and different sized of axes where to his right. The swords took up several weapon racks, while the Ninja gear, including throwing stars, nunchucks, and a variety of other tools he couldn’t name took up the far back corner of the room. Looking around, he could see short knives, grenades, crossbows… he didn’t know where to begin. Taking a moment to think, he ruled out the guns, as those where difficult to aim when he moved at his normal speeds. Ninja gear was out too, as he had no interest in learning the styles that would accompany them. He didn’t have the strength to wield an axe, so he ruled those out too.

Making his way over to the bladed weapons, Blurr took his time examining each. He would be using what he chose today for the next several millennia, so he wanted to make sure he picked right. The long blades were beautiful, but he didn’t like the feel of them when he actually handled them. Not discouraged, he continued his search. Coming to a pair of energon daggers, the blue mech paused. They were beautiful. The blades were a sleek design, silver and deadly with sapphire blue handles. Picking one up, he tested its weight and balance. It fit nicely into his hand. Blurr had seen some mechs sparring who had their weapons concealed inside their armor. These were small enough and light enough to fit under his arm plating, but long enough to be able to put some distance between himself and his opponent. He would have to learn to fight with both hands, but, he decided as he picked up the other blade, that would be an advantage. Mind made up, he turned to show his choice to Lord Megatron and Shockwave. Megatron nodded his approval, and Shockwave looked pleased.

“A very good choice Blurr. Those will serve you well.”

“When can I start training with them?” Blurr asked, hoping that the answer would be soon.

“At the start of the next decacycle. Shockwave will be leaving for a short term mission then. I will train you, and if by the time he returns you have become proficient with the basics we will test you to see if you are ready to advance to the next level.” Blurr was disappointed to hear that Shockwave would be leaving, but perked up at the mention of a challenge. And Lord Megatron himself was going to train him? Seriously? Blurr knew that the mech was a weapons master, though he had never before seen him actually use one. Training with him would be an unbelievable opportunity.

“Yes, Lord Megatron. I look forward to it.”

“Good. You are both dismissed for the day. Shockwave, take him to Cyclonus and get him proper sheaths for those. You’re first assignment Blurr will be to demonstrate proper care of your daggers. I expect you to be ready at the beginning of next decacycle.”

“Yes sir.” Shockwave and Blurr saluted, and then left to find Cyclonus. Megatron let his optics linger over the lithe frames of his mechs until they were gone, before turning his mind to business matters. After all, he did have an empire to run. There would be time to play later.
