Transformers

Title: Defend and Protect

Summary: A seeker's programming commands that sparklings and younglings are to be cared for and protected. So how does this programming affect the Decepticon command trine?

AN: There is some seeker on seeker action near the end of this first part though not to much of it.

Part One

Looking back on everything that happened, they being the command trine should not have interfaced that night. We shouldn't have tried to renew our trine bonds.

But both Skywarp and Thundercacker insisted that we needed to do it. Some slag about needing to be close and feel each other again. Who am I to say no to my own trine mates?

My trine and I felt that we needed to leave the Decepticons, when Megatron became more unstable and began to act rashly towards us.

I can only hope and pray that our gift from Primus can survive.

Starscream stormed into his lab, tossing a data pad aside in his anger and frustration. Megatron was once again tossing aside his ideas for better energon storage and proposed ideas of where to raid the next areas of ripe engery usage.

It seemed as though the slagger of a warlord was becoming much more unstable, especially towards him mostly, when all the seeker was doing by making suggestions to him as his position as second in command would have dictated for him to be doing. If anything Soundwave didn't really seem to be doing anything to stop Megatron's violent behavior towards him either.

Then again who would really want to try stopping when he was in that mood. He snarled mentally and set about trying to distract himself from doing something stupid with conducting an experiment of sorts. As he tried to work on his impromptu project, he opened the trine bond a little to get a sense of what his trinemates were up to. He could sense that Skywarp was possibly planning something, a prank perhaps and Thundercracker was possibly brooding about something again, he mentally nudged the purple seeker's mind with a question.

(Skywarp, what are you planning?)

There was some wordless surprise and glee that came across the trine bond from Skywarp and surprise from Thundercracker's end of the bond.

(I'm not planning anything at all, Screamer! I'm as innocent as a new spark!)

(Somehow I doubt that, Warp. And don't call me that.)

Wordless amusement floated across the bond to the other two seekers from Thundercracker's end of the bond and Starscream stopped working on what he had been doing in his lab. He was still positive that Skywarp was up to something and was about to call him out on it again, when Megatron's voice cam out the Nemesis's intercom system.

"All Decepticons. Report to the command bridge. That is all."

Thundercracker and Skywarp could sense their trine leader's annoyance and frustration towards Megatron, they tried to soothe him over the bond as they joined each other among the other seekers and the ground fighting Decepticons in the command bridge where Megatron and Soundwave already waiting for them all. The warlord's optics brightened and gleamed in a way that made Starscream twitchy, which in turn made his trine mate's also twitchy too. A twitchy trine wasn't necessarily a good group of seekers to send into battle in the sense that the whole trine would fail in their performance during battle situations. Thundercracker quickly gathered his wits together and worked to soothe his irriatable mates over the trine bond, so that Megatron or Soundwave wouldn't be able to pick up that anything was wrong.

"Decepticons, we have a new target in mind to steal energy from now. Soundwave will brief you before our departure."

Skywarp listened with only one audio as he attempted to be sneaky and observe his trine mates over the bond. Thundercracker was for all appearances appeared to be indifferent and brooding once again, whereas Starscream appeared to be annoyed, frustrated, and bored all at once. Then Thundercracker nudged his mind slightly to get his attention.

(Pay attention to Soundwave, Warp.)

Skywarp eyed the blue seeker slightly and would have replied over the bond to him, but Megatron had taken Soundwave's place and glared deeply at them all, more so at the seekers.

"Do not fail or there will be consequences."

There was a brief silence before the assembled Decepticons spoke as one voice.

"Hail Megatron! Hail Megatron!"

The warlord smiled a sinister smile and led them all to their newest target.

Starscream hissed angerily and threw some of the more useless objects around his quarters in his building anger. The mssion had been a partial success, but it was still a complete failure all the same. They had gotten away with a small amount of energy successfully though the price for gaining some of said energy were two near almost complete wingless fliers and several more wounded ground pounder warrriors. To say that Megatron had been pleased with the mission, would be an utter farce. The warlord was beyond angry that the Autobots and Optimus Prime had foiled them again, he took out his anger on the mech that had happened to be close to him at that exact moment which had happened to Starscream, when the flyer was passing by the throne room.

And so doing even remotely anything with his trine mates hadn't crossed his CPU until he felt a pair of hands on his wings. He chirred loudly and purred as another pair of hands was dipping between armor seams to tease the sensitive wires and nodes underneath his armor.

He was quick to reciprocate in kind with them both and they lost themselves to the sensations that they were experiencing together.

(Star … spark … bond!)

Dimly he heard and was aware that they had retracted their chest plates revealing their sparks to him. And he did the same for them and as one they pushed their sparks into each other, falling over the precipice of a strong overload.

Several breems later, Starscream online to find that Skywarp was online and cuddling with him while Thundercracker seemed to be doing some cleaning of the broken objects that he had thrown around in his anger, before the blue seeker rejoined his trine mates, cuddling with them both, and they went into recharge together.

TBC.

Reviews would definitely be nice for this one. ^^
