Dead reckoning

by Alt-format

This story takes place immediately after the first transformers movie. If Starscream's search for power isn't for the devious purposes that everyone thinks it is for, why does he want it so badly? What sort of event could possibly have made him both want to hide from it and search for it? And what will happen when he finally finds it?

1. Prologue

Author's note

This is the basic premise of this story. I will explain who is talking and who he is talking about in the introduction, but this is pretty much what popped into my head when I was trying to come up with a storyline to follow.

Prologue

You said that you'd always be there, always help, that you'd never leave me. But you never were; you never helped; you left me alone. You weren't there when I needed you the most. This isn't how it's supposed to be. We promised that we would always stay together, no matter the circumstances. But I haven't seen you in eons.

I must accept that the past is in the past now. That there is nothing that I can do to find you, to get you back. I will never see you again. There can be no other explanation other than that you are offline.
