Ch 10

Starscream twitched in his metal egg. It was easier to move now, the time was right. He remembered the sound of a loud explosion. The new metal over his optics spiraled open. Orange optics had taken the place of his blood red ones.

Moving his helm around he studied his metal prison. Humming, he activated his transforming program. The black metal around him shifted and changed into his wings. He felt the metal begin to recede in a cascading effect. Metal moved to form the armor over his joints and protoform. Finally when the last of the metal slid into place he stood tall.

Walking over to the monitor he found his schematics and the data on himself. The data was still flowing into the computer.

"Hmm," He tilted his helm and pressed a part of his body. A close up of himself appeared. He noticed a couple of things different about his scans. Two large thrusters sat at the back of his hips. He took a look for himself.

The new additions were nestled between his wings comfortably. He shifted to get the feel of them and found them to be light. They seemed to be connected to his power supply.

He lifted his paw again only to notice that he did not have claws. He ran an internal scan and found his claws now could be sheathed inside the strong protective armor of his paw. Unsheathing them he found that his silver claws were now an obsidian black and just as sharp.

He stopped studying himself when he heard a roar coming from the hall. Growling lowly he stalked quietly down the hall only to find himself in the monitor room. He watched as the others on the screen were attacked by the black monster that tried to kill him.

"Run!" He could hear everyone scream at the monitor. He didn't need to stay there long. He could see the coordinates to where the other were. He started to walk down the hall when he stopped. A happy chirp stopped him in his tracks.

Swindle had come to investigate the noise he was making and had found him. He watched as Swindle bounded over to him and stopped in front of him. Starscream decided to smell his minicon partner to see if there was any problems with him.

What surprised him the most was that his olfactory sensor was much more powerful. He could feel four slits open as he vented in the scent of his minicon. He was happy to know the other was well taken care of and purred. Knowing Swindle would not let him leave by himself again Starscream nudged the minicon to come with him.

Standing up Starscream started for the warp room again and felt Swindles tiny claws dig into the seams of his armor in order to climb onto his shoulder pad. Plugging in the coordinates Starscream entered the warp panel and disappeared with Swindle.

They landed in a forest in Colorado. There were cliffs and trees everywhere he could see. His audio receptors caught the sound of screaming and screeches from where he was. He followed them to a cliff side and stared down at the fight. All the autobots had fallen to Nemesis Prime. Starscream glared down at the large black dragon and growled and hissed in distress.

Swindle seemed to know the battle was coming and Starscream allowed the other to combine with him. He suddenly felt the thrusters on his back move and swing forward. The thrusters rested against his shoulder pads heavily. He adjusted to the new weight and focused on the battle.

His optics suddenly focused as the metal lids that covered his optics moved. They spiraled and sharpened his vision even more. He felt energy crackle along the thrusters and felt the tell tale sign of the energy building up in a canon. Once the energy was built up he fired at the monster standing alone growling at its fallen victims.

The laser hit dead on and the black dragon fell with an audio shattering yowl. Everyone stopped in surprise as the large monster fell.

Starscream stood tall as the moon shined behind him when it came from behind the clouds. His shadow fell among the other dragons that were all in the clearing.

"No way." Starscream looked over at the one who had said it.

Jetfire had just managed to get up off the ground. He had been injured with most of his armor on his left side gone and circuits exposed.

Starscream jumped down and stood in front of his new leader. He hissed as Nemesis Prime stood up with much difficulty. Backing up he came side to side with Jetfire.

"I don't know how, but whatever you hit him with do it again." Jetfire got ready to fire on the large dragon.

Nodding Starscream started to charge his null canons. The pink glow brightened inside the thrusters. Bracing himself again he fired with just as much power as the first shot.

Jetfire watched as the pink energy beam hit Nemesis Prime again. Nemesis screeched again and fell.

"Thrust get out of here now." Jetfire ordered to the leader of the Decepticon group.

Thrust growled and ordered his retreat, "You haven't seen the last of us." They disappeared back to their base.

The two dragons stood there for a while before looking at each other. Jetfire smirked when he got to study Starscream for the first time.

The seeker was white with black designs outlining his optics and face. His chassis and underbelly was red with black side panels. His arms were a mix of red and white all the way to his Bitarlueus, the rest was completely black even his claws were black. The shoulder pads were a pure white. His tail was a solid red with white under paneling ending with a black tail blade. Starscream's wings were mostly white being outlined in red along the end panels. The top part had a black line going along the protoform outline of the wing joint. On his back legs there were white and red fin like appendages at the knee joint.

Starscream opened his wings to stretch them and gave Jetfire a look at the symbols on his wings. The symbol was a perfect combination of the Decepticon symbol and the Autobot one. The two were cut down the middle and combined like they were made for eachother.

"Love the new look." Jetfire eyed the other in appreciation. "Swindle must be happy, you go great with his coloring." He looked at the red and black fan like appendage attached to Starscream's back.

Starscream growled and swatted his leader with his tail. "Quite you." Jetfire watched in fascination as Starscream sheathed his claws and walked to were the others were.

"Thats new." Jetfire motioned toward Starscream's paws when Starscream looked at him. "You can now sheath your claws."

"That's not the only thing different." Starscream smirked and turned back to what he was doing. "So what now?"

Jetfire hummed for a few seconds before he decided. "The Decepticons got the minicon so I guess we need to go home." He started to try to get the others up with Starscream help. "This will take Red Alert days to fix all of us, not to mention if he has to rebuild something." Jetfire gave up in trying to get Blurr and Hotshot up.

Starscream picked Sideswipe up and laid him across his back after putting his thrusters back into place. "You have a scientist who is good at making weapons." Starscream looked back at Jetfire's surprised look, "I can help with the rebuilding part and I know a bit about repairing another." He nudged Scavenger awake who groaned and tried to stand only to fall back down.

"Oh?" Jetfire pulled Hotshot and Blurr over to Starscream and the others. "How do you know? If I remember correctly you were a scientist as you just said."

"A scientist who was also part of Vos exploration group." Starscream managed to get Hoist on his peds and over to Scavenger, " I lead a couple of missions and we had to know basic field repair."

"Makes sense now." Jetfire nodded before feeling Ratbat land on him. "Red, get us home." The feeling of the warp locating them and the sudden feeling of being displaced wrapped around them before they were gone.

AN: Hey everyone! I decided to put this ne chapter out early so here you go!
