Chapter IX

A few weeks, and fights, later I was in my room trying to think of how to keep Starscream and Havoc from killing one another, while also trying not to kill the ever so annoying Silvertougne.

She kept trying to trick me into giving her command, and failing miserably.

"Sil, I'm too smart to be tricked by that foolishness." I ordered " Now leave!"

"Fine but you'll regret this embarrassment! I will be below no one, especially not a little girl!" Silvertongue hissed.

"Yea well good luck with that." I laughed, sitting on my bed. "Don't let the door hit that fat aft on the way out."

She cried out in frustration as she left.

Coming in Starscream said "Well she looks a little less than impressed, what did or didn't you do now?"

"The usual, she tried to trick me into giving up command." I yawned, as I sat up.

"You know I could do something about that?" He stated.

"I know but I don't want her dead, she can be useful." I smiled.

"Megatron says the same thing about me, and you know how much I want him gone and how many times I've come close." he smirked. "Well I came to ask if you wanted to cruse the skies with me, it can make one really feel claustrophobic in these caves."

"Oh I'd love to but I don't know how to fly." I sighed.

"I can teach you, if your gonna have an Alt mode that fly's you have to learn sometime." he continued.

"True, okay lets go, by the way have any of the others left the caves before?" I asked as we left.

"No, why do you ask?" He inquired as we walked the halls.

"Just curious." I polity defended.

We came into the lab and I paused, there were people in a cage on his desk looking terrified at us.

Through the telegram thingy, I decided to call it mental messaging, I asked "Who are they?"

"Just random humans I found." he stated pulling me along.

"What are their names?" I questioned as I resisted.

"Amy Hunning, Sarah Deov and Rick Phan." He stated coldly, pulling a little harder.

"With us why do you need more.....victims?" I asked as I followed.

"I just want more data for the whole reason I started these experiments in the first place, to get rid of Megatron. I want to tell him it will make him more powerful then change him and kill him."

"Nice plan but it wont work, he will insist that it be tested on someone else first." I reminded him.

"Yes but that's where you come in, you can not be changed back so I put you in the machine you tell him you feel stronger he go's next and gets changed." He finished as we exited.

"Yea but he's got loyalists he might get to go first, he doesn't care for his followers, you know that best." I smirked.

"Indeed I do....i can't believe that never thought of that!" He angrily exclaimed.

"See I am the best thing that ever happened to you!" I giggled. "Now how about that lesson in flight?"

"Alright first the obvious, transform." He smirked.

"Well I could guess that." I yawned as I transformed.

"Next start your engine and slowly speed up."he instructed as he did it him self. "Now slowly as you reach the speed of 150 mph pull up."(If my take off speeds are wrong please tell me!)

I did so and then I felt the rest slowly coming to me, as I pulled up going faster and faster I twirled and screamed in exhilaration. "Oh my god, woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"That's amazing." Starscream sighed as he caught up with me up in the clouds.

"Whats amazing?" I inquired spinning a little.

"When I first flew I did the same as you, the twirling and the screaming." he verbally smiled.

"That is amazing, I'm gonna guess that is how you got your name." I sighed, agreeingly.

We just flew a long time, silently taking everything in when Starscream asked "Do you think of me as your captor or something else?"

"More like something else." I smiled "Why?"

"I was curious, I don't see you as my slave or hostage." He smirked back " What do you see me as?"

Slowing a bit I said "I see you as a comrade and friend."

"Really?" Was his reply as he too slowed. "I've never had anyone say that, excluding a joking Skywarp."

"Speaking of the prankster am I going to meat them, Skywarp and Thundercracker?" I inquired.

"If you want, Thundercracker won't really warm up to you but Skywarp will be fine, he has a thing for femms."

"Who wouldn't have a thing for this femm." Skywarp suddenly giggled as he rolled out of the clouds above us.

"Wha-! How long have you been there!" exclaimed a more than pissed Starscream.

"For about ten or fifteen minuets, You really gotta be more observant Screamer." Warp chuckled as he came up on my right wingtip. "So lil lady need a date for tonight, I'd be more than delighted to accompany you anywhere you'd like."

I giggled.

Starscream was about to scold him but I spoke first. "I'm sorry but I'd actually enjoy intelligent conversation to entertain myself not mindless blather, my apologies."

"Ow, harsh lil femm ain't she?"." Skywarp cringed as he let his engine whine

"Why do you think she makes the perfect Decepticon?" Smirked Starscream. "By the way would I fit in your 'intelligent list' ?" He asked me.

"Of course, no one fits the description better." I giggled.

"PRIMUS, as the humans say 'get a room'!" Skywarp complained.

"Oh comon were not like that!" I argued spinning over him and ending up on his right wingtip.

"Well for a first time flier she's pretty good." Warp complemented, changing the subject.

"Why thank-you Warp?" I said as I smiled inwardly, at least I wasn't horrible at everything now.

"Did you just call me 'Warp'?" He asked.

"Yes? I'm sorry if it upset you, I wont do it again." I quickly apologized.

"No, no its okay, I just wasn't expecting it." Skywarp said confused. "I wasn't expecting that apology either."

"Why not?" I inquired.

"Well you know D-cons, wouldn't apologize for their lives." Warp explained.

"True, true. So how do you make a hologram or holoform or whatever you call it?" I inquired.

"It's holoform and you just focus on materialization of a form, in this case human, and it will. If your going to try we should land first, it can be quite distracting." Starscream advised.

A second later I had a holoform of myself sitting in my cockpit.

"Impressive your quite the natural, why don't I let Skywarp finish your teachings while I report to Megatron, he's been getting extremely suspicious as of late." Starscream said breaking off.

"Okay, see ya!" I smiled as I spun.

"Are you sure-?" Joked Warp once Starscream was out of sight.

"Well....I'm not positive." I smirked seriously.

Skywarp taught me some more basics, witch I mastered easily, then we headed back to the base.

"So Warp how and when did you get or find out about your ability?" I asked.

"Well I didn't find out for a long time, in human years I would have been 12 but human years are a lot shorter than ours."

"I wonder if I have an ability." I sighed.

"Well it could be something like mine but it also could be something like ole Screamer's."he replied. "Something obvious or not so obvious. For some it is things like strength others its intelligence and for some its something physical like my teleporting or TC's sonic ability's." He continued as we landed and transformed.

" I hope if I have one that its cool like yours." I smiled at Skywarp, if he were human he would have been blushing.

"Why thank-you."he smiled back."We should get inside, the biometric pressure suggests that it will rain soon."

"Okay." I agreed following him indoors.

As I came in I saw them again, Amy Hunning, Sarah Deov and Rick Phan.

"Hey Warp you go ahead, I'll be right there, I just wanna look around." I spoke hesitantly.

"Okay lil femm I'll see you in your room." He replied cautiously then left.

Once he was out of sight I walked to the cage on Starscream's desk, witch was at my knew waist height.

Kneeling down and looking into the cage at the frightened girls and Rick, they looked no older than 17. I saw the girls huddling into a corner and Rick shielding them.

I put my kindest face on and said "I'm not going to hurt you."

"Then why are you here, to taunt us" Rick bit at me.

I sighed and said "I feel sorry for you, I was once human but Starscream changed me, yes that is his name. I am trying to decide weather or not to release you, if I do and you get caught again you could tell someone that it was me but if I don't you will more than likely die in the horribly painful experiment that Starscream will preform."

"We won't say a word right girls?" He said turning to them.

"No never!" they nodded in union.

"It's not that simple, he might torture you into telling him."Suddenly I heard footsteps from the hall that went deeper into the cave. "Well looks like my mind has been made up for me, I'm so sorry I can only hope you survive!" Then I was gone into the depths of the cave. I never saw them again.

As I came around a corner Skywarp asked "What kept ya?"

"Oh I was just cleaning a small mess I found on the floor, nothin' major, lets go see my room!" I lied slipping past him.

We entered my room and I gasped, my room was all crimson red but around the edges like the ceiling and door was a pitch black. The desk on witch my IPS or computer was sitting was also black along with the chair. My bed or birth was also black but there was a pillow shaped block at the head of it that was colored red like the walls.

"Wow! This is perfect, its just like my paint job!" I smiled wildly

Weldira who was also there said "Yea well that be where I got the idea."

Looking around my newly decorated room I saw what looked to be crossed swords on the wall furthest from the door .

"Are those-?" I asked smiling wider.

"They wont work to kill but they'll do for decoration. I know you didn't really need a pillow but its a nice homey touch." She responded.

I got up thanking Weldira as I hugged her "Thanks so much Weld, it's perfect!"

No problem honey, it was a pleasure since I don't get to design much here. Well anyway we should go see the newest fight between Havoc and lord Starscream, I just heard from Sharpshot that they've started at it again." And so I went to break up Havoc and Screamer's fight, Weldira following.
