Chapter 14-Planning and Thinking

Starscream came out of the lava pit feeling much better, the lava had molded all the cracks that she had filled in, giving his body a clean and new finish, it felt nice and amazingly good. He walked up to where she was sitting, right by the Omega lock.

I looked up when I heard bang, bang, bang, from Starscream's footsteps, looking up he stood over me and by my eyes he looked well and no longer damaged by the battle with the Autobots.

Though he just got out of a lava pit and he was freaking HOT!

"ARGH! What are you trying to do? BURN ME?" I screeched at him, jumping back ten feet. "You just got out of a lava pit! Your over five hundred degrees C' and you go and stand by me!"

Starscream tilted his head. "I don't feel hot, I feel quite normal."

"Yeah, because your made out of metal that's why dumb blot! I explained to him, stepping near him carefully. "You don't really know how hot your body has become from the lava till you are near something flammable. LIKE ME!"

Starscream chuckled, kneeling down he held out his hand for me to take. "Feel if I am." He was smirking.

Any sane person would've run away, but I stayed. I reached my finger out and poked him in the thumb, then poked him again.

Poke, poke, poke, he felt ok; I laid my hand on his thumb.

NOPE!

"ARUUGH!" I screamed jumping back, I held my hand out and stared at it, it was a little red but ok. If I had left it there a moment longer I would've had cooked hand for supper.

Starscream laughed. "Guess I am still hot." He stood up and gathered the Omega lock and Earth's Cyber Planet key, and left to go out into the middle part of the volcano where a rock-pedestal was made for the Omega lock to sit.

"Sideways where are you?" Starscream called looking around.

Sideways flew down from a ledge high above the place, he landed right next to Starscream. "What is it?"

"Gather the Decepticons and bring them here."

Sideways nodded and flew off. I came up beside Starscream and watched him lay the Omega lock down on the pedestal, he still held Earth's Cyber Planet key within his hand.

"So, time for you to become king?" I asked him, smiling.

Starscream looked down at me, grinning, he held up the Earth's Cyber key and his grin became a laugh. "Yes...soon I shall become king."

I giggled at that and hugged his leg, he just shook me off and all I could do was laugh.

"Don't forget me! I'm gonna help you rule this universe, as Queen of the Decepticons." I reminded him, pointing to my chest and smiling proudly. I had decided to name myself that, it sounded kinda nice.

Starscream stared down at me, a blank look on his face. "You are a human; I have no need for anyone else to help me rule the universe."

"Hey! I need to be included too ya know." I told him, opening my hand and laying it against my chest above my heart.

"No you don't, you are my second-in-command, and that command shall end when I've gain the power of Primus." He told me, turning fully around to look down at me. "I have no need for Queen or anyone else, I shall rule the universe by myself and no one else shall take that power from me."

I felt like the whole world had suddenly dropped on me. I stared at him, my eyes opened in horror, my body trembling, my fists clenched by my sides, I bowed my head in anger and sadness and walked away. I didn't say anything else to him.

Starscream didn't care of what she thought about that, he didn't want to care. Turning around, he faced his Decepticon army that now entered with Sideways. He begins to show them the true power of the Omega lock and Earth's Cyber Planet key.

I sat far away from the scene that now unfolded before my eyes, Starscream spoke to his Decepticons, I watched as he began to place Earth's key within the Omega lock and it suddenly begun to glow and shot a arrow of light right through the ceiling of the volcano, and then he was surrounded in glowing golden light. A sight so beautiful to my eyes that I had to look away.

"Second-in-command...is that all I am?" I asked myself looking down at my hands. "Am I nothing more than a fleshling? A pawn to be used in your game, Starscream?" I continued to stare at my hands, clenching them into fists I stood up and watched Starscream absorbed the power of Primus into himself.

My command would end once he had gained enough of the power of Primus, I would be nothing to him. Even after everything that has happened.

"I told you once before that I would show all that I am more than just a human. I told you I wanted to join you so I could show all what I am...show what I could be to you." I spoke though no one heard me. "Well now Starscream, I will show you what I can truly be. Even if you don't care about me in the same way that I care for you. I will rise above the rank of human to something more."

I smiled at that thought, I looked down at the cloth that I had used to clean his faceplate with, and I held it tightly to my chest. I looked back over at him; I sat down again and waited for it all to be over with.

Hotshot was outside the base, within the forest where he had sat with her that one night, sitting on the same rock within the clearing that she had once been sitting on, he looked up at the sky as the clouds passed by, he had to be at the base soon for they were still searching for Starscream's location. But right now he just wanted to be alone for a moment.

"Damnit! I should have taken her away when I had the chance, then she would still be with us and not with him. But she said that she didn't care about us anymore...was she just saying that so I would be hurt? Or was it true?" Hotshot asked himself, he dropped his head into his hands and sat there thinking about it. "I don't know...but I am going to get her back, so she'll be with us, her friends, and with me."

After a while, Hotshot got up and walked away from the rock and left the forest, heading back to the base.

"I can feel it, the power of Primus." Starscream said as the power of the Omega lock went within him.

"What's it like Starscream?" Sideways asked.

"Nothing you could ever imagine, haha...hahaha...HAHAMUWAHAHAHA!" Starscream laughed wickedly.

I watched as he became something more than the bot I knew. I watched as the power of Primus change him into something godly, something more powerful then Megatron himself. A power so great to be consumed by someone as power hungry as him was a dangerous thing, even horrible. I prayed for the outcome to be a good one.

"Starscream...careful what you wish for." I whispered still sitting as I watched him consume the Omega lock's power. "Sometimes wishes can be deadly."

I stood up suddenly and just ran to Starscream, running as fast as I could, I jumped down the rocks and slid down them, until I came up behind him. I let my breath come back into my lungs and slowly walked up to him, careful as not to get in his way.

"Starscream...?" I asked softly.

Starscream looked up, turning around he looked down at her.

"What is it?" he asked sternly.

"I was wondering how long does it take for you to fully take in the power of Primus?" I asked him, my voice still containing its softness.

Starscream considered this for a moment, thinking it though, he spoke. "As long as it takes, only time will tell."

I nodded at him and turned around to leave, but before I could even take five steps, I was picked up and placed upon his shoulder. I looked at him in surprise, after our conversation this was the last thing I was expecting from him.

Starscream could see the surprise look on her face; he understood where it was coming from. Their conversation early had been…unfriendly, and it was mostly his fault, but he would never admit that openly. He hadn't meant to be rude to her, but the fear of someone taking what he had been working so hard to gain had unnerved him, and thus he had lashed out.

He turned his head a little to look at her, she was sitting cross-legged where he had placed her, and her eyes were close. She seemed to be in a state of mediation of some kind. So he didn't bother to disturb her, he focused his thoughts back on to the Omega Lock.
