AN: This is my first fanfiction that I've published. I've had thoughts on this for a long time which motivated me into posting it here. I decided to stick with all the Armada names because it just gets complicated with the name changes later on in the Armada series and so forth. Starscream's personality isn't as memorable as his character in Armada, nor as soulless in Energon. I just went with what I know about his character in the Transformers series in general. Please excuse with how short this chapter is. I don't own the Transformers.


Delusion Chapter 1

Camille Rhode awoke to the shaking of the ground. She shrugged in the dark.

Must've been a missile nearby. She thought half-awake.

It was no surprise to her after living in Area 51 all her life with her small family. Reluctantly she got up to get dressed remembering her historical role model speech was today. She started singing to herself as she got dressed. She ceased her singing when she saw her dad standing in the doorway after pulling on a jacket.

"Can you sing any louder?" He teased.

"Why are you ease dropping?" She whined embarrassed and threw a pillow at him. Her soldier of a father retreated closing the door behind him as a shield.

"And learn to knock!" Camille shouted flushed.

"Um...breakfast is ready," Her father cowardly said through the door. Camille grabbed the thrown pillow and groaned in it already not looking forward to today.

Elsewhere, an ex-second in command of the Decepticons groaned in onlining from a night of eluding the Decepticons out to get him. Already he was mad from another failure in attempt to overthrow Megatron.

"Blast that Megatron! I'm more fit to be the leader," Starscream growled. That's how it's been for him for at least three years now. He still recalls the day Megatron lost it and kicked out Starscream for good after Starscream tried leading a rebellion against Megatron. Ever since that time, whenever Megatron encounters Starscream he shoots him on sight and had ordered his other troops to do the same. That hasn't stopped the seeker to try assassinating Megatron to rule the Decepticons. He got up to peak around the corner of the trench mountain he had hid in during the night. Only to barely elude a missile by a hair.

"There he is!" Cyclonus laughed maniacally. "Let's get him!"

Starscream growled. What a fantastic morning this was going to be for him. He ran the opposite direction, transformed and flew into the skies.

It was a little later back at Area 51; Camille organized her notes she prepared for her historical role model speech on Alexis "somebody". Camille could never remember the woman's last name. Her palms were sweating in nervousness; she was going to make this speech in front of at least half the people that reside in Area 51. For the millionth time she fiddled with the red clip in her wavy black hair as she waited backstage of the mini performance center. Camille's mom Dr. Rhode came in.

"Good luck hon, oh by the way you should wear this, it's the perfect occasion for your speech."

Camille turned to see what it was only to gasp at a certain necklace with a cracked green gem.

"Isn't this-?" Camille observed the gem in her mother's hands.

"That's right. Alexis had this necklace for a long time; I used to hear she'd wear it as a good luck charm. Wear it or else," Dr. Rhode growled.

"I went through a lot of trouble to obtain that."

Camille hesitantly took it. Looking at it as her mother walked away to look for a seat.

But-I don't want to wear a dead woman's necklace! Camille panicked even more.

"Five minutes!" Called from the stage. Camille looked at the necklace and put it on in the mirror.

Well it is pretty, and after this speech I can just take it off and never wear it again.

Soon it was time to make her speech.

He swear he had to fly around the world and back to finally lose the Decepticons' tail. In addition Starscream had to avoid the occupied Autobot bases guarding certain areas of the world. He hated how the years have changed: all the humans were aware of the transformers; they lived in fear in hiding. Some under the watch of the Autobots, and others in complete hatred of having aliens on Earth in general causing the humans to hide.

They all had to be hidden away; both Autobots and Decepticons developed a device to make humans become transformers. Decepticons would kidnap any human to fight for their cause. For Autobots as rumor had it, was more voluntary or at least Optimus Prime advised against making humans turn into Autobots unless extremely necessary.

Soon Starscream landed at the edge of a certain base that was guarded by neither Autobots nor Decepticons. He heard about this place, Area 51. Completely guarded by humans, had few ties with the Autobots in the transformation of humans to transformers. They were what was left of U.S. government, out in this desert.

He then smiled mischievously as he observed Area 51 from a sandy hill. Starscream had a new plan: to kidnap any human he can carry and eventually turn them into Decepticons - only serving him instead.
