Fiat justitia ruat caelum

Title: Salvation
Characters: Megatron, Nemesis not-Prime (yes, there's a reason I say it that way), mentions of Ariel/Elita One and a couple others
Verse: G1, if things had gone... about as differently as they possibly could go.
Wordcount: 2,700+
Rating: M for some violent content and general bleakness. There's fighting and angsting. Decepticons being Decepticons, basically.
Warnings: Violence. And wholesale slaughtering of sacred cows.
Summary: This is written for the Youth challenge over at crimson_optics.

The original idea for this came about from a tiny snippet in an RP I was in long ago, wherein my Megatron was broodinating about how things might have gone if, instead of betraying Orion Pax, he'd recognized the young mech's spirit and taken advantage of Orion's admiration of him.

So.... like I said, sacred-cow slaughtering of epic proportions. I'm hoping you all like it, and most of all I'm hoping it inspires some people to participate in the challenge! You all have a little over ten days and I know you rock, so show me some awesome.

Thanks muchly to meaisin_caoin for beta.
