For the sake of the story, and the fact that the majority of stuff that had to do with the Decepticons didn't happen in between the city scene and Egypt, other than the awesomeness of Jetfire and the fallen coming to Earth, I'm skipping ahead to when we see Starscream again. He's just playing King Kong in New York until that point. Or Baltimore… I really don't know which. It looked like the Empire State building.

Minor adjustment for this continuity, Thundercracker and Skywarp will be with Starscream, Megatron and the fallen in Egypt. Why? Because I need them for this plot to work properly, and they were in that little blurb I let you guys see a while ago. It was at the end of a chapter. I might trail away from the movie story, because it will bring more interaction between the fallen and Starscream, and our favorite tyrant as well.

Star's going to have: 2 ½ encounters with the fallen again.

What? ½? Translation: he's going to be forced to blow him. Yeah. That's about a half.

One is in this chapter, and you have been warned.

I don't own the Transformers, greedy Hasbro does.

Starscream flew towards the area known as Egypt. He was unfamiliar with this planets geography, and why they would put so much sand in one place. It seemed odd to the seeker. He saw his destination, the pyramids. Megatron was close by, he could feel him. The mech's presence was always dominant wherever he went. Not that Starscream minded, he was the center of the seeker's affections after all. Starscream mused in his thoughts until two familiar flight engines flagged his wingtips. His wing mates had come to find him.

"Star!" Thundercracker said, startling the seeker out of his calm train of thought. Skywarp chuckled as they saw the silver seeker jump in midflight.

"TC…Warp…" The silver seeker laughed back at his friends, giving them his tired chortle. They followed him towards the monolithic pyramids. They knew what the big one was the first time they saw it, the sun harvester. Only that blasted thing could be that huge.

"Megatron is supposed to meet us at the settlement near the star harvester. I'll meet up with him, you two fall back and stay safe. Megatron won't hurt me in battle, but he might blast you by accident." The silver seeker ordered. He wouldn't risk either one of them in battle, even when he was about to get his aft handed to him by the Autobots, he wouldn't chance his best friends in battle. He increased his thrusters as he shot towards the settlement. His master knew where the key to this blasted thing was, and it was not his place to question what Megatron knew. The Autobots boy had it, the matrix of leadership. What a name for a key to a machine that destroyed stars.

Starscream saw Megatron fighting with the Autobots, and the humans had technological communication devices… but nothing that an electronic pulse wouldn't handle. One little pulse and he knew they were fighting without the support of their military forces. Between the smoke and rumble, Starscream was having trouble seeing the recognizable silver armor of his master.

Suddenly, a heavy weight appeared on his wings. He felt himself falling as two metal peds dug themselves into his back, forcing the seeker to fall from the sky. Starscream hit the sand with a terrible thud. His left wing was fractured from the impact, making the seeker groan in pain. The weight on his back removed a ped from his injured side and seized him by the back of his helm, hauling him up from the sand to his optic level.

"You should have been back on the ship by now, Starscream. You've been a naughty seeker." The fallen flung Starscream to the side, smashing his left wing more as the fallen's strength forced him into the ground. Starscream let out a rough yelp of pain as he felt his wing break under the force of the blow. His right servo found its way to his wing, sorely grasping the injury close to his body.

"Looks like I will have to waste time to punish you… such a naughty seeker… we will fix that."Starscream looked up at his rapist with fearful optics. The fallen turned his prisoner's helm and opened his interfacing panel. He twisted Starscream's body around so that his port was lined up with the fallen's groin. The fallen forced the seeker's panel open and closed the distance between them. Starscream tried to scream out, hopefully to alert one of his comrades, but failed as the fallen's servo closed over his mouth tightly. Starscream felt his rapist's claws digging into his back, severing cables and leaving dents in his recently polished armor (1). Starscream tried his best to scream again, but it was muffled by the fallen who thrusted his cable into him at an unprecedented speed. Oil and lubricants glazed the seeker's legs, and Starscream did his best to focus on the mech he loved, just to get this over with. Starscream yelped as the fallen hit a sore spot, causing more fluids to flow down to his peds. Starscream felt like he was going to burst.

The fallen reached down and forced Starscream's cable out of its place in his groin, pulling it harshly. Starscream let out another scream, only to hear the dull hum that signified his silence in the matter. A scream that he was sure none of his friends heard, and that he would have to endure this again…

But he was Starscream. He had fought many battles, from High Kaon to Vos, all for Megatron. He wasn't about to roll over like a little doggy for this bastard. Starscream gritted his dental plating, squeezing his aft together and making the fallen endure the pressure that came with it.

"Relax Starscream… you are only making this worse on yourself." The monster whispered. Starscream glared at him, even though he knew the fallen couldn't see his facial plating right now.

"You were the one who misbehaved. Such a naughty seeker… running off like that when I told you to stay put." The fallen placed his servo from Starscream's back to his neck cables and pulled his helm backwards. Starscream reared in response to the fallen's movements, trying his best to ease the stress this position was placing on his neck cables. Primus how he wished it was Megatron behind him.

Starscream felt the older mech jerk as he came inside the seeker once again, and Starscream felt like he had felt like he had betrayed Megatron… even though they weren't together, it still felt like he was betraying his beloved. The fallen pulled out of him and let the seeker slump to the ground, fluids dripping onto the dry sand, causing it to congeal into a dough like substance. Starscream groaned as his shoulders gave into the sandy terrain, unable to support the large mech as his body was engulfed by the dust. Starscream felt dirty, like he had been rolling in trash than taken a swim in a waste management facility.

"Now stay where you are suppose to… at my peds. Go back to the ship. If you stray again, I will have to take more serious action." The fallen said as he left the seeker lying on the ground, trying his best to curl into a ball and hopefully not have to move until Thundercracker or Skywarp found him. He prayed that Megatron didn't find him first… he didn't want the tyrant to see him like this again. It was embarrassing enough to be the fallen's concubine, but for the one mech he loved to find him raped again? It was too much, and frankly, Megatron should have a second in command that can defend himself, and not allow someone to rape him. Given that the fallen was the strongest mech in the known world currently, Starscream still could have tried to defend himself against another rape. His wing still trembled in pain, its broken pieces stabbing into themselves and causing energon to leak from the open wounds.

"Starscream!" The air commander's optic shutters shot open as he heard the relieving sound of two sets of jet engines approaching him. He let them shut again when he recognized the sound. Thundercracker and Skywarp… thank Primus.

"Starscream!" Thundercracker yelled out as he and Skywarp landed with a muffled thud on the sand. Thundercracker was the first to reach Starscream, pulling him up as Skywarp went to the right side of the seeker and checked the damage. Starscream was almost offline thanks to his injures, but through his dampened hearing, he could hear the sounds of emergency repair tools sizzling and sewing the injuries back together. Thundercracker was always good with wings, in berth or in the field; he knew the articulation of seeker's structures better than any other bot Starscream knew. Starscream tried to move his shoulder to get a better position. Skywarp noticed this little movement.

"Relax Star, you're going to be perfectly fine. TC is here and we're going to get you back on your peds in no time." Thundercracker smiled as Starscream opened his optic shutters again. His friends would take good care of him. As the welding torch hummed in response to another seam repaired, the silver seeker couldn't help but notice that Skywarp was tracing his new tattoos… and Starscream's ever restless processor couldn't help but wonder if Megatron would find them appealing or not. Starscream thought, that since Megatron was a proper mech, he probably wouldn't like them very much… but then again, he had surprised the seeker a few times before, who's to say he wouldn't again. And he thanked him for his services earlier… perhaps hope wasn't as far off as he thought.

Starscream let his friends take care of him and relaxed in Skywarp's arms as Thundercracker continued with the minor repairs, humming the old seeker lullaby that Starscream would occasionally sing quietly to the hatchlings as he performed maintenance on the gestation pods. It soothe his tired processor… and made him reactivate an old recharge file (2) he used to think of.

'Starscream… what do you think of sparklings?' His master would ask, and he would always reply the same answer.

'I hate sparkling…but if they were your sparklings, then I guess I would have to reconsider the importance of the idea'

It never sounded as great as he wanted it to, but he would gladly give the tyrant a sparkling if he asked. Otherwise he didn't want to have a single thing to do with such a laid back, boring position. At least to him it was boring, watching all his friends go out and do whatever they pleased, never being tied down by a crying hatchling (3). He wasn't ready for that kind of responsibility yet. He wanted to have his freedom… and have Megatron as well. This was getting confusing… but the most pleasurable thing in life to him was flight… the feeling of not being tied down or restrained by anything, not mech or duty could beckon him from his domain. The prince of the sky- Decepticon Air Commander Starscream. Loyal to Megatron. That idea alone gave him the rejuvenated strength to get up- only to realize that Skywarp was pinning him down so that Thundercracker could work on his wing, which was still broken in three places.

(perfect note to end on for today)

I will go back later (when my brain is working) and redo anything you guys want me to, but this is about as good as I got right now. Cold's kicking my butt and the recommended (legal) drugs are making it worse. illegal drugs are bad for your brain. my brain is bad enough and creative enough without them.

(1) When his armor was being washed, it got polished too.

(2) An old recharge file is basically a reoccurring dream. Recharge is sleep and files are thoughts. So adding them together makes a dream.

(3) This is basically the idea of a baby from a younger person's mind. You have a lot of things ahead of you, and you know that a child is a lot of responsibility. Therefore, you don't have time for both, and one can wait until you are ready and have accomplished your goals to find the right person and settle down. Also, Starscream seems very young (jailbait) and he probably doesn't want to raise a hatchling alone or with the wrong mech. It's never a good thing to have a baby for the sake of saying you did, and having it with the first person you meet and barely know is just dumb. It sets up for a long, winding road of emotional pain and therapy. It's better to wait, find the right, responsible person that loves you and will take care of you, and then plan to have a baby according to income and job constraints. Unfortunately, a lot of young people dig their own graves (metaphorically) with this by having a baby too soon and not having the support, job, or love that is needed for raising a child. Star is smart and has thought this through. No baby unless it's Megatron's and he is bonded to him. That sets up love (hopefully in Star's mind… but you know what is going to happen), job (he is getting paid for being second in command… I don't know how much, but some sort of payment) and support (his family is Thundercracker and Skywarp, and I think they would support him if he want to have sparklings with Megatron. They seem to like him enough to.

Ok, so the kitty's name, by popular vote is: oh dear… we have a tie…

Alright! Another poll!!!

The cat's name:

(1) Whiskers

(2) Lucky

And on that note I'm going to have to skip the blooper tonight. Double tomorrow. Took a benadryll around 6 pm and it's hitting me like a brick again. Coherent thought is not available currently, please try back later. Read, review, and I'm off to watch Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events. And nap. Brian go boom. Allergies go wild. Cold or whatever this is- getting the upper hand. Stupid virus.
