Author's Note: The last chapter ended with Starscream approaching Thunderblast.

Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers.

Starscream pulled up a chair and sat beside Thunderblast. Thunderblast didn't take her optics off the monitors as Starscream spoke to her.

"So, what were you and Megatron talking about?" Starscream asked.

"Nothing important." Thunderblast replied.

"Then I guess you won't mind telling me."

"If you want Megatron to take you offline, then I'll tell you."

The seeker snarled. "Nevermind. Let's talk about something else." Starscream sighed before speaking again.

"Tomorrow, we're going to search for another Cyber Planet Key. But actually, I found two. That's why you and Sideways are going to go investigate the other one."

Thunderblast faced Starscream. "Does Megatron know about this?" she asked.

"I'll take care of the details. Won't this also be your chance to show Megatron how much "potential" you have?'

Thunderblast's face turned red. She lowered her head. What if Megatron really was themech she's been searching for? If he was, then she was gonna prove that she can be the best just for him.

"Well?" Starscream asked.

"I'll do it."

The seeker smirked. "Excellent."

The next morning, Thunderblast had exited her quarters by 6 in the morning. Starscream had told her that she should wake up earlier than the others so that she could "surprise" Megatron by showing him the Cyber Planet Key. Starscream had also told her that the key was located on Earth and that she should contact Sideways via comlink once she gets there. So, she opened a warp gate and headed straight for Earth.

She transformed into her alternate mode as soon as she landed on the water. She activated her comlink with Sideways.

"Thunderblast here. Where's the Cyber Planet Key?"

"Starscream said to come to the arctic. Just trace my energy signature I'm already here anyway." Sideways replied.

"Got it."

The comlink ended.

At the Decepticon base's command center, the rest of the Decepticons were about to leave for the next Cyber Planet Key that Starscream had told them about. Before they left, Megatron noticed that one of them was missing.

"Where's Thunderblast?" the Decepticon leader asked.

"Oh, she told me that she'd go ahead to scout the area." Starscream said.

The seeker then handed the map to Megatron.

Megatron smirked. "You've done something right for once. You guard the rear. Obviously, I'll go first."

Megatron and his troops went inside the warp gate. All except for Starscream. Starscream instead opened another warp gate. "Find someone else to guard the rear. I have other things to do." The seeker said. Then he entered the warp gate to Earth.

Thunderblast, in her robot mode, arrived at the arctic. She traced the energy signature to a very familiar place to her. It was the same place where she fist went online again. Thunderblast went inside the cave. She saw the capsules once more. The femme went to the middle of the cave where Sideways was.

"Is this really where the Cyber Planet Key is?" Thunderblast asked.

Sideways was startled then turned around to face her. "Oh, it's you. Starscream should be here any moment."

Thunderblast tilted her head. Why was Starscream coming? Wasn't he supposed to be with the other group? Starscream arrived in his alternate mode then transformed into his robot mode as he met face to face with the two other Decepticons. The seeker nodded his head at them.

"It is time." Starscream said. Then, he drew out the Omega Lock. Thunderblast's optics widened.

"How did you get that?"

"I ran into the Autobots awhile back."

"What are you gonna do with it?"

Starscream placed the Omega Lock in front of Thunderblast's face. There was a third key inserted into it.

"I already got the Cyber Planet Key of Earth. All I need now is an army."

"But-"

Before Thunderblast could finish her sentence, Starscream placed the Omega Lock on a rock then the cave was filled with light. It illuminated on the capsules. When it cleared, the capsules were all opened.

"Yes! Go my army! I released you and now you all work for me!" Starscream yelled.

The ancient Decepticons started to pile out of the cave. Thunderblast stared at what happened. She shook her head and spoke to Starscream.

"Liar! What do you plan to do?"

"Why, to rule the galaxy of course. And you'll be right by my side as I do so."

"If I refuse?"

Starscream nodded at Sideways. Sideways grabbed Thunderblast from behind. Thunderblast struggled and was able to get free from his grip but Starscream called some more Decepticons who grabbed her arms. Thunderblast struggled but she could barely move her arms. Starscream put his face close to Thunderblast's. The seeker stared into her optics.

"You'll see. I'll be even more powerful than Megatron ever was!"

Thunderblast turned her head away but Starscream grabbed her chin and forced her to face him.

"You will be the most powerful femme in the galaxy! Isn't that what you want?" Starscream asked.

"The thing is, you're nothing compared to Megatron."

Starscream flared up. "I AM MORE POWERFUL! I WILL RULE THE GALAXY."

"Whatever. Wait, what did you do to Megatron?" Thunderblast asked.

The seeker calmed down and smirked. "He and the other Decepticons are probably floating somewhere in space by now. I should probably check."

Megatron, Thundercracker, Mudflap, Ransack and Crumplezone were sent to a region in space. Megatron looked at the map again.

"The Cyber Planet Key should be right here."

Megatron said. All the Decepticons, except for Crumplezone, gathered around their leader. Suddenly, the map started to levitate there was some static then the map became a huge ball that trapped them. Crumplezone was able to escape. Megatron simply stared at the ball. Then, Starscream's m\image showed in front of the Decepticon leader.

"Greetings, Megatron." Starscream said.

"Starscream, what is the meaning of this?"

"I'm taking over now."

"Where's Thunderblast?"

"Oh, she shall be my new queen. I'm sure that when Thunderblast and I have sparklings of our own, they will be very proud of me." Starscream's image disappeared.

Megatron snarled. "STARSCREAM!"

Author's Note: Actually, the part where Megatron yelled out Starscream's name, really happened in the series. But now, he has two reasons to hate that seeker. Can anyone guess what the other one is? Kay! Until the next chap.
