The metal throne was crushed by the force of a large metal fist slamming into it.
Starscream struggled to his feet having just narrowly escaped Predaking's rage. "W-Wait you don't understand it wasn't like you think! Your brethren had contracted a rare disease. We fled because there was no cure! We couldn't save them!" He wailed.
"A likely story Starscream. You may think that you can fool me easily, but I am no beast!" Predaking snarled. Behind him Skylynx and Darksteel chuckled. "I am Predaking!" He roared, transforming and preparing a fireball in his throat
Optics widening Starscream turned to run, a fireball exploding behind him. Predaking gave chase, his followers transforming and thundering after him
Starscream ran through the corridors of Darkmount. Hoping to find something to aid his escape. The corridors were too narrow to fly in, the only way to move was on foot. With the screeching of the angry Predacons behind him, Starscream was forced deeper into the fortress.
Suddenly turrets popped out from the ceiling. "Warning. Warning. Unknown lifeforms detected." An Omnipotent voice stated. Realising that the turrets would not fire on a Decepticon, Starscream stopped and looked behind him, a smirk on his faceplate. Further down the hallway was a door marked: WEAPONS CACHE. Starscream chuckled to himself. The Predacons luck had just run out.
The three creatures bolting down the corridor were suddenly met with a shower of machine gun fire. They halted and growled in annoyance, the turrets desperately trying to eradicate the vermin. Predaking grew tired of the obstacles, rearing his beastly head back and spewing a fireball at the turrets, destroying them both.
The Predacons shook their heads and focused on the figure at the end of the hallway, hefting a Nucleon Shock Cannon. Predaking's optics narrowed at the figure before a blast of energy slammed into him, knocking him down.
Skylynx and Darksteel charged the assailant without a second thought. They were greeted with two other blasts straight through their spark chambers. They fell to the ground, devoid of life.
Predaking hauled himself back up onto his servos, growling at the slayer of his brothers who was now striding towards the King.
"Even you and your Predacons could not withstand the might of Starscream!" Starscream yelled before causing the Predacons to once again, fall extinct.
Starscream chuckled to himself, throwing the depleted cannon onto the floor. "Now, let's see what else Megatron has hidden away in here." He menaced, rubbing his palms together.
Starscream strode into a large, empty room. A hole in the ceiling allowed a view of the stars. "Hmmm... Seems like most of the equipment was taken when the Decepticons left Cybertron." Starscream commented. His optics drifted to a rusty assault rifle. "Or is no longer of any practical use." He added.
Just as he was about to leave he saw a familiar figure. Moving nearer to investigate the sprawled out body on the floor his optics widened.
Directly beneath the ceiling hole lay a large, offline terror. Broad shoulders connected to a muscular torso. Large legs joined to the lower of the chassis which bore the Decepticon emblem. The head was round and bald, the mouthess face bearing a yellow visor.
Starscream smiled and then began to laugh. "Oh my old friend just look how far you've come!" He mocked, poking the carcass with his foot.
The stasis-locked Decepticon which lay before him was Onslaught, leader of the Combaticons.
