Dont own Transformers. Only Felicity
Chapter 1
He watched as the human showed unprecedented bravery for his species. Megatron had demanded that the organic relinquish the Allspark and in return he might spare the human. To Starscream's surprise the human vehemently refused him. "Brave, but foolish", he thought. This was immediately proven when Megatron, thoroughly disgusted with the human, decided to kill it. He slashed off a good chunk of masonry as well as the human to send him plummeting….. straight into Optimus Prime's arms along with the cube. Starscream growled, he had been looking forward to seeing what the human would look like splattered on the ground. In exasperation he rubbed some of the nasty earth grit off his face and settled down to watch Optimus Prime confront Megatron.
Before long he was rudely interrupted by the humans' aerial force. "Pathetic humans!" he roared at them while firing. He sniggered to himself as one jet exploded and another fell out of the sky, although his exuberance rapidly faded when he found himself outnumbered and forced to abandon his perch. Starscream quickly outpaced the human jets, all the while watching Megatron and Optimus battle. "Doesn't look too good for Prime", he thought as Megatron managed to place a direct hit, sending Optimus straight into a building. Starscream circled around, noticing Blackout approaching Optimus and Megatron, and seeing Devastator's mangled remains. "How unfortunate" he sneered. "It looks like you were terminated by mere humans".
As Starscream doubled back, his communication link with Blackout was abruptly cut off. "Slag it! This is not good." Blackout may have been fanatically loyal to Megatron but he was an excellent warrior, and on a hostile planet infested with autobots you needed plenty of those. He was also not nearly as annoying as Devastator. The Decepticons were losing soldiers much too easily. "Now, how can I use this to my advantage?" he pondered. His attention was pulled back to the battle as Megatron was shot by F22s. Starscream smiled, "Now I know. Let's just hope the humans or Prime can finish him off." He flew in between buildings, effectively losing any pursuing jets. He witnessed Megatrons death from the safety of the buildings and silently rejoiced as the connection between himself and his leader vanished. Starscream had been ready for Megatron's death centuries ago but he had never expected it to occur in the way it had. It could be seen as an honourable death, by the Allspark and in battle, but in reality he was killed by one little human. This was the way Starscream liked to think of Megatron's demise.
Intrigued he leaned forward as Optimus reached into Megatron's spark chamber pulling out a shard. "Unlike Prime to take souvenirs he mused." Suspicious, he zoomed in on the object. "The Allspark, it survives!" Head whirring in agitation, Starscream sank further out of sight. Just as he was about to take off, a jet flew overhead making Starscream sink into the shadows of the buildings. He did not want to be caught and made into scrap like his fellow decepticons. As he cringed away from the human jets he almost crushed a girl trapped under some rubble." These humans are so weak" he thought as the girl desperately tried to scrabble out from under the rocks. She stopped struggling for a moment and looked at him pleadingly, silently asking him to help her. It would be so easy for him to brush away the masonry but why should he help a human? As he looked at the girl again, an idea flashed through his circuitry. Reaching down he took the girl from rubble and transformed.
As much as he hoped to make a clean getaway it was not to be with three jets taking up the chase. Starscream decided to lose the humans in outer space though he remembered, luckily for his passenger, that humans needed the gas, oxygen. Collecting some of this gas, he broke through the earth's atmosphere where the human F22s could not follow. He was sick of the girl's screaming and had been debating whether to toss her out until the fragile thing had gone into something like recharge. Now that he was safe from those blasted jets, he could communicate with Soundwave stationed at the planet Mars on the Nemesis. "Soundwave, I am now the leader of the Decepticons. Megatron is dead as well as all earth-bound Decepticons except Barricade and I cannot confirm whether Scorponock is dead or whether his communication system is down. The Allspark was used to destroy Megatron but a fragment of it still exists. Prime has it and it is unknown if it functions properly. Send Skywarp and Thundercracker to earth immediately". There was a long pause before Soundwave spoke. "Megatron may yet survive." Starscream lowered his voice threateningly, "I sincerely hope you're not questioning your new leader Soundwave. I saw with my own optics Megatron" he spat the word out, "spasm and die". Perhaps he was taking a little too much pleasure in breaking the news to Soundwave. "Now send Thundercracker and Skywarp to earth. I will give them my location when they arrive" Cutting communication with Soundwave, Starscream began his descent into the earth's atmosphere with the unconscious girl secure in his cockpit.
"I wondered if I had been drinking. My head and my whole body hurt, I couldn't remember what had happened and I definitely wasn't in my bed. I also felt queasy as though I was moving. It all came back to me with one hell of a headache. I groaned and opened my eyes. It was night time and lights turned on as I woke up revealing the insides of a jet.
"The human had finally come out of recharge and still his wing mates had not arrived on Earth. Starscream was not worried about them but he was worried about Barricades refusal to communicate. Either Barricade was paranoid about Autobots tracing the signal which was highly unlike him or he had been deactivated already. Starscream had been searching the area around mission city for the past couple of hours but there was no trace of him and by now he was thoroughly bored sick of the place. "At least the female human hasn't begun screaming again" Starscream thought. He began monitoring the humans stress levels and was pleased that it wasn't panicking, though that might have been entertaining".
"At least I'm not dead. It was the only optimistic thing I could think of but it made me curious as to why I was not dead." I decided to find out why this machine had not killed me yet and why it had kidnapped me. "Umm can, can you speak English?"
Switching his vocals from cybertronian to English Starscream snarled "of course I can, your language is simple"
"Thus encouraged I kept my mouth shut hoping to avoid getting killed by a very disgruntled robot. We flew on in silence for a while before the tension got to me. Where are you taking me?" There was a long pause and I thought it was ignoring me until it answered smugly "wherever I want to" I changed tact. "Then why did you take me?"
Affecting a bored an uninterested tone he replied "So your military doesn't annoy me."
"There was the answer as to why this alien jet had flown off with me and why I wasn't dead. I was a hostage. I was also expendable".
Starscream wondered how the human would react to this news but she just became still and quiet. Neither spoke for a long time until the girl broke the silence by asking "What are you and why are you on Earth?" Starscream was bored and chose to humour the girl. "My race are called Transformers and our home is the planet Cybertron. There is a civil war on our planet between the Autobots and my faction, the Decepticons. We are here because of the Allspark which gives us life landed on this wretched mud hole".
I admit I was intrigued by what the robot was telling me and it explained quite a bit about the battle in Mission city. "Is the Allspark what you were fighting over in Mission city?"
"Yes fleshling"
I frowned and lightly kicked the jet. "My name is Felicity, care to enlighten me with yours or shall I call you transformer the whole time or even tin can? I was a bit pissed off at being called fleshling."
"It's Starscream" he hissed.
