Mikaela did all she could with her repairs. She wiped some sweat on her forehead then smiled on a job well done. She backed away from Starscream. Starscream slowly got up. Mikaela was surprised at how tall he really was.
"Feel better?" Mikaela asked.
Starscream examined his body. There were still some scratches but not as bad. "This is quite… adequate." The Decepticon said.
"Uhh, I'll take that as a compliment. It's coming from a Decepticon anyway."
"But…" Starscream aimed his weapons at her.
"…It doesn't mean I shall let you live to tell it."
Mikaela was speechless. She couldn't move. What would running do? Starscream would just chase her. Wheelie ran and hid behind a tree. Starscream cackled.
"Farewell, human!" His weapons were charged. Mikaela closed her eyes and bit her lip. Her plan didn't really go well.
Mikaela heard an explosion. But, she didn't feel any missile or laser hit her. She opened her eyes. Starscream was back on the ground and took some damage. Mikaela turned around. The Autobots were behind her. Their guns were smoking. Mikaela smiled then ran to the Autobots. She could see Ironhide, Sideswipe, Ratchet, and of course, Optimus Prime. She hid behind the Autobot leader. Starscream glared at the Autobots.
"Prime, still functioning, I see." Starscream said, still on the ground.
"This is no place for a Decepticon…especially you, Starscream." Optimus aimed his weapons at the second-in-command.
Starscream looked at Mikaela. The expression on her face was… worried? Starscream thought of transforming and flying away but the Autobots had damaged his wings. Mikaela didn't know what to do. She had just repaired a Decepticon that had just attempted to shot at her and yet she felt sorry for him. With a big sigh, Mikaela ran towards Starscream and faced Optimus before the Autobot leader had used his weapon.
"Optimus, stop!" Mikaela yelled.
Optimus widened his optics and did as she said but didn't lower his weapons. Starscream stared at Mikaela. What was she doing?
"Mikaela, step away from him. You don't know what he's capable of." Optimus said.
"But you can't destroy him."
The Autobots were in shock. "What do you mean?" Optimus asked.
"Maybe he can help us track the other Decepticons and tell us what they're planning."
Optimus turned to the other Autobots. They gathered around to talk about it. Mikaela was tense. For some reason, she didn't want to see Starscream offline.
After a while, Optimus approached Mikaela and Starcseam who was behind her. Optimus knelt down and faced Mikaela.
"We have decided to spare Starscream…for now."
Mikaela sighed out of relief. "Thank you." she smiled.
Optimus faced Starsscream. "But do not think that we are letting you go. You will be on heavy surveillance by the NEST team. Cooperate, and we might even trust you."
"And if not?" Starscream asked.
"I think you know the answer to that question."
Optimus stood up and turned to the Autobots. "Examine the surroundings. We have to see if Starscream had some company when he landed on this planet."
The Autobots nodded their heads at their leader and obeyed his orders. Mikaela wasn't satisfied just yet. She went in front of Optimus.
"What about Starscream?"
"Ironhide shall guard him until a NEST team will arrive to bring him to our base." Optimus said.
Mikaela nodded her head. "Can I at least stay here until they arrive?"
Optimus sighed. "Very well, that is your decision."
Mikaela smiled at the Autobot leader. Optimus then left with the other Autobots.
Mikaela looked back at Starscream who was now leaning on a tree while sitting down. Ironhide kept staring at the Decepticon from afar. Starscream glared back at the Autobot weapons specialist. There was nothing that he could really do. There were too many Autobots for him to activate his weapons. That, and he still couldn't transform and fly away.
Mikaela went forward. Ironhide called for her attention.
"Mikaela! What are you doing?" Ironhide asked.
"Just gonna talk to him. Besides, I know that you'll put him back in his place when needed."
Ironhide grunted and withdrew from getting Mikaela away from Starscream. Starscream glanced at Mikaela.
"What is it, human?" he asked, annoyed.
"That's how you treat the person who just repaired you?"
"Take note, human, that I am a Decepticon."
Mikaela sighed. "Listen, my name is Mikaela, got it?"
"I am completely aware of that. You are the human girl that is always with Sam Witwicky."
Mikaela rubbed the back of her head and bit her lip. "Actually, we're not actually "together" anymore."
Starscream paused for a moment before realizing what she meant. "Oh, I see. No longer mates."
There was some silence before Ironhide approached the two. "Optimus Prime told me that the NEST team has arrived. They'll be sending in a plane for Starscream."
Mikaela nodded her head. After a while, she could hear an engine and thought that it was the plane's engine. It was a few miles away from their area. Ironhide, with a sigh, placed Starscream's arm on his shoulder and walked with the Decepticon to the plane. Ironhide placed Starscream near the plane's wall facing the plane's entrance. The other Autobots soon arrived and went inside the plane. Mikaela waved to the Autobots as the plane took off. Starscream looked at her. Mikaela was still smiling. After almost shooting at her, she still defended him against the Autobots. The second-in-command heard the plane's engine and knew that they had taken off. Starscream was still thinking of that human. He chuckled softly. Mikaela was fun to be around with, unlike the other Decepticons. She actually snapped back at him when he didn't say her name. Starscream would talk to her again.
As the plane landed, Starscream knew that he had arrived at the Autobots or rather NEST's base.
