Transformers: Art of Prime explained that one of the artists loved Cliffjumper, but shocked that he died earlier in the episode. As he marked his favorite character and I think I decided to change it up a bit. Yes, I saw the origin on how Cliffjumper and Arcee met, but I saw them as an item.

I wouldn't blame the writers on the show since it's a darker theme of what they were going for. It's an idea that I didn't want to experiment with this, but I wrote it down.

It won't be a crossover fanfiction.

AU: What if Cliffjumper brought back other than a Terrorcon after Megatron shoved the dark Energon into him? He won't allow anyone or corruption to take advantage if his partner was in his processor.

Necromanbot Cliffjumper: Personal Vendetta

Prologue

After I killed by Starscream, I had regret on not calling for back-up and it's more than this. I was outnumbered, defeated and captured by the Decepticons. I didn't expect that I died when I screamed in pain. I left with a lifeless body, but I witnessed Megatron shoved the dark energon where my spark used to be.

What happened next?

I wouldn't call it a miracle nor Primus brought me back to life. I didn't go to the All Spark when my mind focused on how Arcee felt if she discovered the die from my foolish mistake. I'm trying to grasp a hold on how I came online, but how my optics turned from blue to purple. I supposed to turn into a Terrorcon, but I didn't.

Regular POV

Megatron shoved the dark energon into Cliffjumper and he watched on how the offline Autobot came back to life. He expected the deceased Autobot turned into a Terrorcon but didn't do so. Cliffjumper looked around him and gave nothing more than a blank expression.

Starscream took a step back when Cliffjumper's blank stare turned into a death glare.

"You are going to pay for this, Screamer," he spoke.

Megatron's POV

I thought Starscream offline Cliffjumper when his spark responded where I shoved the Dark Energon inside of him. I founded it strange, but interesting on his first words coming from his mouth. He was reborn not as a Terrorcon when I felt a connection to him. He tainted by Unicron and received a second chance without any question

I needed Soundwave to run tests on him.

I couldn't let an opportunity go to waste as I had the Drones take him into the room.

I watched them escorted the prisoner to guest into his quarter.

"Could it be?"

Starscream assured that he offline Cliffjumper, but I don't believe him at all.

Regular POV

"I don't believe him at all," Megatron thought as Starscream assured that he did, but it's obviously not enough to prove it.

Megatron witnessed his spark ignited after he shoved the dark energon shard into Cliffjumper. He founded it suspicious on how Cliffjumper didn't turn into a Terrorcon. He brought an Autobot back to life without question but wondered what ability that he grasped.

Starscream knew that he's in deep trouble when Cliffjumper had his eye on his vendetta. He concerned about his own safety when he began to become paranormal.

Regular POV

Cliffjumper escorted against his room to his living quarter where Soundwave waited to run tests on him. The last thing, he knows Starscream offline him and brought back online by Megatron. He doesn't want to treat like a test subject, a guest nor brainwashed into a Decepticon. His processor focused on reuniting with his original partner.

One word was spoken, "Arcee," before he went recharged.

Meanwhile in the Autobot Base

After the event unfolded, the three humans escorted by their guardians to the Autobot Base where they met their leader. With the introduction aside, Ratchet saw Cliffjumper's signal on the map and flabbergasted.

"Cliffjumper is alive?" Ratchet thought.

He wasn't sure if it's trap or not where it's located and didn't have a choice as he informed Optimus Prime. He knew that Optimus is willing to go this far into rescuing a captured Autobot in need. He prepped the Medical Bay just in case if he turned out alive.

-Time Skipped-

-The Nemesis: Cliffjumper's Guest Room-

After Soundwave took a sample from Cliffjumper and he left the berthroom to his laboratory to experimentation to see through the result. Starscream waited when the TIC disappeared from his sight. He snuck into the guest room when he murmured that this Autobot doesn't deserve a special treatment.

He expected to kill Cliffjumper before Cliffjumper killed him.

He doesn't want to get replaced by him or anyone since he deserved this title. All he received, Megatron doesn't believe that Starscream offline Cliffjumper and he fitted this punishment just to ignore Starscream. He doesn't know why he promoted Starscream to "SIC" for this reason nor trust him.

He punched in the codes and snuck into the room before the door slammed shut.

He hid a mental smile when it's going to become an easy kill for the second time in the row. He prepared to offline Cliffjumper for a good measure before he knew.

Cliffjumper wasn't on the berth than expected.

"You were trying to kill me again," Cliffjumper's voice chimed in, "It ain't going to happen again."

Before Starscream turned around, his optics widened in fear as the shadow towered over him. The last thing, Starscream saw through his POV and it's Cliffjumper's optics glaring down at him.

Cliffjumper (Voice Over)

Do you expected me to kill him early in the prologue?

TBC

Well, I needed to start writing less words than 1000 and started not give too much detail. I'm starting right now if anyone wanted to know on what Starscream's fate is.

Will it be an AreexCliffjumper? Yes.

Will Cliffjumper became a Rogue Autobot trying to grasp control of his new abilities and how could he bless by Unicron? Well, I leaved it up to you guys to decide to decide.

Since Walmart's wifi refused to let me go on the , or due to the content. I couldn't blame it on them and decided to use alternate routes post this. I'm going to post it on Tumblr too, so please be on the lookout.
