Skyrider was totally overjoyed when Megatron told her she can date Starscream. Said Seeker was also happy too. But little did they know that they were constantly being monitored. Megatron didn't want to take any risks. He had asked none other than Soundwave to be the spy. Soundwave reluctantly agreed, he knew better than to mess around in a femme's personal life. But since he is extremely loyal, he agreed, not before first telling Megatron how bad of an idea this is. The tyrant only wanted to protect his daughter, Soundwave knew this but still didn't want to get into a femme's personal life. It was just a bad idea. You never want to mess with a femme's life... ever.
Within the next few days, Soundwave had not noticed anything out of the ordinary, that is, until today. Skyrider seemed... different. She was becoming secretive. Soundwave wondered what was wrong. He was going to confront her about it right now.
Skyrider was sitting on her berth, on a data pad when Soundwave walked in. "Hey, Sound. What's up?"
"Observation: Something has been troubling Skyrider." He spoke in a robotic monotone voice.
She stopped for a second, then set the data pad on the berth. "Is it that obvious?" She asked.
"Answer: Yes. Inquiry: What is troubling Skyrider?"
"Well... You won't tell anyone, right?"
"Soundwave: Will not tell anyone. Soundwave: Will keep a secret."
"Alright. Um... Starscream asked me... if I would want to... sparkbond."
"Statement: Sparkbonds are a very serious matter. Inquiry: Does Skyrider want to sparkbond with Starscream?"
"I do! It's just... I feel like things are moving too fast, ya know."
"Skyrider: Should ask Starscream to slow things down."
"I have... but he just hasn't been himself lately."
"Inquiry: What does Skyrider mean?"
"Starscream has become... slightly possessive, I guess. And kinda controlling."
"Skyrider: Should tell Megatron."
"No! I'm not gonna tell him! This is between Starscream and me."
"Soundwave: Suggests Starscream and you to take a break."
"Yeah... I guess you're right. What harm could that do?"
A mech is chained up in a cave where no one can pick up his energy signal. He has been beaten and tortured for two days now. "You know." Came a deep voice from outside of the cave. "I could kill her any day now."
"You... l-leave her a-alone." A certain Seeker struggled to speak, his voice box has been half blown from all the screaming he's done when this unknown bot tortures him. "Hm. I could leave her alone. But we both know that's not going to happen."
"W-why?"
"I'm sorry. I can't quite hear you. You mind repeating that?"
"Why?"
"Why? Ha! Easy. Simply because... she's one of the most beautiful femme's. A Seeker even. Could you imagine what I could do? I love to get my servos on those wings of hers, and make her cry out my name as she overloads."
"You... f-fragger!"
"Don't worry. Someone will be fragged. Just not yet."
"D-don't you dare... touch h-her!"
"Or else what? You're not exactly in any position to help her right now are you?"
Starscream fell silent. He knew he couldn't help his love right now. As much as he wanted to.
"That's what I thought. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." The unknown mech turned and transformed, flying back to the Nemesis. "S-Skyrider... I hope y-you're safe..."
Skyrider had called Starscream to her berth room. She needed to talk to him about taking a break. She's been sitting on her berth waiting for Starscream, finally he showed up. "Hey, Starscream." She said.
"Skyrider, sweetspark, what is it that you needed to talk about?"
"Um... I was thinking... things are moving a little too fast and I was wondering if you wanted to take a break."
"A break?"
"Yeah, ya know, for a few days."
"You're right. I'm sorry, I've been pressuring you. We'll take it slow."
"Thanks."
"But first..." Starscream lunged at her, and pinned her to the berth.
"S-Starscream! What are you doing?!"
"I've been wanting to interface with you for a long time now."
"Wha-INTERFACE?! No!"
"Yes, and you are going to enjoy it."
Starscream tapped her interface panel, "You know you want it."
"NO! I'm not ready!"
"Oh, but I think you are." He reached up toward her wing and caressed it from the base to the tip. Skyrider tried to suppress a moan, but to no avail.
"You like that don't you?" Starscream was teasing her. He was trying to get Skyrider to open her interface panel. But she was being resistent.
"Starscream... p-please..."
"Please... what?"
"Stop!"
"No! You are going to open your panel or I will do it for you!"
"NEVER! You'll never get me to!"
"Wrong answer!" Just as he was going to rip off Skyrider's interface panel, he felt someone grab him from behind, and throw him off of her. "Get off of my DAUGHTER!" Megatron was furious, he should have never let this Seeker date his daughter. "I trusted you once, and another time, and another time. But you still fail me Starscream. And now I have no choice but to eradicate you!" Megatron charged his fusion canon and shot at Starscream. He avoided the shot, and retreated down the hall, and when he reached the flight deck, transformed and took off.
Skyrider was sitting on her berth in the far corner. How could he have done this? He loved her. She loved him. What went wrong?
"Skyrider, are you okay? Did he do anything?"
"I-I'm okay. He didn't do anything."
"You're lucky I heard you scream. Who knows what that traitor might have done!" Skyrider was now sitting with her knees to her chest-plates, her arms were resting on her knees and her helm was in her servos. She was crying. "It's okay, SKyrider. He's gone. It's over." He pulled her into a hug. "Dad... I-he loved me, and I loved him... wha-what went wrong?"
"Nothing, princess. I knew he was bad luck. This is all my fault. I should have never let you go out with him."
"I-it's not y-you're fault. It's m-mine. I s-should've told you... h-he wanted t-to sparkb-bond."
"SKyrider, that is a very serious matter. You should have told me."
"I k-know. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It was a mistake. We all make them."
The unknown mech landed at the cave, he looked angry. "Did Megatron figure you out?" Starscream asked.
"Yes. This is your fragging fault! I should kill you here and now!"
"S-so go ahead... what's s-stopping you?"
"What's stopping me?! I'll tell ya what!" He strode over to Starscream, and placed his clawed servo on his wing, and started caressing it. "This is what's stopping me, Starscream. I need you online, so I can just..." He quickly swiped his claws over the wing, leaving five deep cuts. "...torture you."
Starscream cried out in pain. Then the unknown mech vowed, "I'll get her... one day... I'll get her."
