Some time during the attack, Starscream had managed to get his jaws on Solus Prime and he hightailed it out of the camp. He dropped the little scrap of fur into Megatron's den and he sat guard. Megatron led the other Decepticons into camp after him, most of them sporting a few deep wounds.
Solus had fallen asleep in Megatron's nest and she yipped in delight when she saw Megatron coming towards her. She jumped up and down, licking and nuzzling his jaw as she wagged her tail happily. Optimus' howls for her were being heard, but not recognized. Solus was too young to do anything other than yip and attempt a strong howl back, atleast that's what the Decepticons thought. When Megatron dropped a shard of Dark Energon in front of her, the room became flooded with pure light and the wolves had to look away. When they were able to look back again, Solus was munching rather happily on the Energon shard as the last of the Dark matter drained out of it.
Starscream cowered behind Megatron. "She will destroy us all!"
"The Ancient will not harm us."
"We'd better not give her a reason to!"
"Soundwave, put her in the Isolation Den."
"Are you not listening to me?"
"I hear you. But I am choosing to ignore your whining and whimpering. Grow up, Starscream. Solus will not harm us."
The Seeker watched as Soundwave lifted Solus off the ground. She gave Megatron and Starscream a look, which made Starscream cower and Megatron start to advance.
And then he was blown back by an invisible force. Everyone was.
Solus sat in the middle of the camp, wagging her tail and pricking her ears at Megatron. As if the whole thing was more of a game than anything else.
Starscream looked at her as he laid on her back and he gave Megatron the universal I-Told-You-So look.
The warlord just returned the glare and he got to his paws. He looked down at the trembling Solus, and he was angered to know that she was not trembling in fear, but in excitement.
He decided the quickest way out of their issue was to drown her. So he scooped her up into his jaws and he headed off to the nearest river.
