Ch 21

"Wow!" A clunking sound resonated around the rocks above the base. "Ow!"

Starscream laid on his stomach listening to the younger dragonformers spar. It had only been three days since the exchange and already Sunstreaker was sparing with his twin. Surprisingly the yellow twin was well versed with fighting for a narcissist.

Swindle grumbled at the loudness of the two sparing not to far from him and his partner. For a while he has become restless like something was going to happen but he didn't know when. He glanced at his partners helm that was resting on his paws. They have been through so much within the past eight months of being together. Just the memories of what his partner has been through makes him feel so sad.

"Gah!" A now red and black Sideswipe flew over the two over them and landed hard.

Starscream didn't even bother to open his optics and lifted his tail. "Sunstreaker wins round 5." He waved at the yellow twin. "Now go bother someone else." His tail curled back up around him. 'Why did I have to be the referee for this again?'

"Ah but…" Sideswipe started to say but was interrupted.

"Go and play a prank on Scavenger or Jetfire." Blurr mumbled from his position on a rock face. Makeshift grunted in agreement and curled up tighter against Blurr's side.

"Jetfire? Scavenger?" Sideswipe sat down with his tail twitching.

"I'd prefer if you go for Jetfire myself." Starscream grinned as he glanced at the twins.

"Pink paint with glitter?" Sunstreaker grinned hearing his twins thoughts once again as they decide on who to go for.

"Splatter bomb in wash rack?" Sideswipe jumped up as his brother approached him.

"Oooooohhhhh yes." Sunstreaker purred brushing against Sideswipe and the two started to go back into the tunnel leading to the base and past the three sunning dragonformers.

"Nothing permanent." Starscream opened an optic to watch the two walk away. He got an affirmative from the twins tails before they disappeared.

Blurr lifted his helm from his paws, "Payback for the lecture and banishment from solo missions." He chuckled.

"Hmm." Starscream looked at the other before grinning at him.

"You are such a decepticon." Blurr shook his head. "Tricking the twins into doing the dirty work."

"What can I say?" Starscream stretched out his legs, "It's in my nature, besides, YOU gave them the idea anyway." Starscream flicked his tail pointing at Blurr. "So when he gets mad, I'll just tell him it was you who mentioned it to them." Starscream started to back to the entrance slowly.

"Hey!" Blurr jumped up unintentionally knocking over Makeshift and ran to catch up to the slightly taller dragon. "Get back here!"

"Muuuu!" Makeshifts moaned before following after the two older dragons at a more sedate pace.

Swindle and Incinerator looked at each other and shook their helms. Their partners were sometimes more than they can handle. They started after them as Blurr chased Starscream into the base growling after him. Though they would gladly deal with their partners antics happily if they can live in this kind of peace every day.

Night had approached the base. Hotshot had taken the kids home with a promise of bringing them back tomorrow and letting them sleepover for the weekend. Jetfire stood in the command room waiting for the others to get there. His minicon sat on his back happily chewing on an energon candy.

"Their coming." Starscream walked into the room followed closely by his trinemates, Thundercracker and Skywarp. Each of their minicons walked by their sides and climbed onto their backs when they were about to sit down.

And just like that the others started to file in. They sat in their usual spots looking at Jetfire. The twins of course started to push each other to get the same seat till Blurr walked by with Makeshift and sat in the seat they wanted.

"Oookkk... " Jetfire watched the twins grumble and plot as they sat down in another seat. "We need to discuss what we are to do about Nemesis Prime." The others sat straighter as did their minicons.

"It needs to be destroyed!" Scavenger growled his tail hitting the ground hard.

"Yeah but how?" Red Alert looked at him. "He can regenerate at a speed that is not normal."

"Nemesis has an accelerated healing speed." Blurr mumbled as he tilted his helm. "Even my shots are not enough to cripple him."

Hot Shot jumped in, "The only thing we know that even fazes him is Starscream's Null Canon!"

Everyone looked at Starscream who turned away from the looks. Really now, They just had to look at him.

Thundercracker came to his rescue, "Well we can't just send Star into a fight with the thing and hope he survives!" Skywarp nodded in agreement.

"No one is going to fight him alone." Jetfire decided to step in before the fight could get any worse. "We need a way to defeat this thing without any casualties."

Hoist who had been quiet up till now decided to ask a question, "With his accelerated regeneration we need some way to stop it, got any ideas?"

"Your the scientist." Sunstreaker glared at him with Sideswipe.

"Scientist, it doesn't mean I have the answers." Hoist glared at the twins who growled back.

"Enough!" Jetfire stomped his paw catching everyone's attention again. "We need to figure out a way to stop this thing not argue over it."

Starscream had been running different scenarios and memories through his processor as the arguing continued with Jetfire now joining in. 'What is one of the most destructive things I know that no one can survive from?' He sat the for a bit tail twitching as he thought. Suddenly a memory played out before his optics. It was the exploding energon mine when the autobots had found it and destroyed it. 'It destroyed not only the area around it, but a terrorcon that had dark energon.'

"I know a way to destroy it!" Starscream stood up and walked around Jetfire to the computer. Everyone watched as he typed away at the key. He brought up the energon molecular structure.

"It's energon?" Blurr raised an optic ridge.

"No duh genius." Sunstreaker growled at him.

Blurr went to swat the yellow dragon, but was stopped by Makeshift pressing into his side trying to stop him from moving.

"Yes it's energon." Starscream nodded and looked to Jetfire hoping the other figured it out.

"So energon, how is that going to help?" He walked up and looked at the screen.

Groaning that he was to only one who remembered the destructive forces of energon Starscream continued. "Energon through a fuel for us is an extremely unstable element." He pointed at the screen again with his tail, "Just the smallest impact from anything sets off a large explosion force that could devistat an area or…"

Red Alert caught on, "Or destroy any dragonformer within the area it is!"

Jetfire's optics widened at this, "Starscream you are a genius." He smiled at the small seeker.

Starscream grinned at the praise, "If we can get enough energon in one area we can set it off right under the Nemesis's own paws. He won't have time to regenerate from that and would just fall apart."

"How do we get enough energon for that?" Sideswipe stood up looking worried, "Beside from our own stores?"

"We have seekers on hand now." Scavenger grinned looking at the three seekers, "And you have me and Hoist here to dig up the energon we need." He moved to stand next to Hoist who nodded.

"Even so we need to find a place remote enough that we don't accidentally hurt the humans." Hotshot called out.

"Leave that to me and Starscream." Jetfire looked at everyone. "We need to get this plan in action now. The unearthed energon will send a signal to Thrust scanner and he and his team will hopefully come running."

"Where will we get the impact force to set the energon off?" Starscream looked at Jetfire who looked right back at him.

"You will be the one to sent them off." Starscream looked surprised, "With your optics and Null canon you can hit the target from a safe distance."

"Yeah, Stars canon is the best for the job. He can't even stop the Nemesis in its tracks if it tries to get away!" Sideswipe jumped up and down excitedly.

"What about Thrust the others?" Hoist pointed out, "They would get caught in the blast."

Starscream and his trine snorted, "Knowing Thrust he would see it and fly away with his tail between his legs."

Thundercracker nodded, "The others would follow, but in his fear would forget their weapon."

Skywarp snickered, "Yeah, Just like he did everytime Starscream growled at him when he tried to override him before a battle."

The others nodded before the plans were set into motion. Thundercracker and Skywarp where joined by Hoist and scavenger to find the energon needed for the plan. Jetfire and starscream scanned the terrain for a secluded area where no one could get hurt. When that was found, Blurr was sent to look for a good area to hide for Starscream so he could hit the energon or the Nemesis when it was time.

"You sure this is the best area?" Starscream walked over to the edge of the mountain side. Below, far far below the ledge was a fast moving river. The edge of the ledge gave a bit causing Starscream to screech and raise to his back legs. His wings were unfolded to help keep his balance as he backed away slowly.

The others chuckled at him as they set up and quickly covered the energon with loose dirt and rocks.

"Smoothe princess, smoothe." Blurr chuckled as he walked back into the clearing.

Starscream lowered himself back onto his paws, "Shut up." He glared at Blurr who still chuckled at him as he walked by running his tail over the others side and wings.

"I'm only teasing." He grinned before walking over to Jetfire.

Folding his wings back up Starscream just shook his head before walking over to his trine mates.

"You ok Star?" Skywarp tilted his helm at him.

"Yeah, Just worried." He sat down in front of them.

"About?" Thundercracker nudged his side.

"What if Thrust team isn't the only ones to get the energon signal?" Starscream finally asked the one question that was going over in his processor, "What would happen if they all got the signal?"

Not to far away from where they were a computer was beeping loudly as it detected an energy signal.

A slime dragonformer stood with her ear flaps raised looking at the screen. She noticed the points and where the signal was coming from on the map.

"Optimus!" She called as she ran to go get her leader.

Here is some information that will be given as time goes by:

"Teletraan, species guide for this fanfiction."

Teletraan "Looking up data on the species please wait as more data will appear as it is found.

Seekers: Supposedly the most powerful and quickest of the dragonformer race. In the time of the predacons, seekers where the apex predator. During this time the sensors in the wings made it impossible to hide from them or sneak up on them. Seekers use momentum and their fierce claws to tear an enemy apart. Seeker legs are known to be the strongest part of the seeker, their legs need to support their takeoff and their landing from G-Forces and weight. Seekers fly in pairs of three called Trine's. Each trine has a leader and their two followers. Trine leader is not picked from the strongest, but from the smartest of the group the strongest is usually made the second wing. Most seekers are born with two base colors, triple colors are seen in those who are mutated. Seekers have a sigma ability which allows them to pull difficult and impossible things (ex. Starscream's null ability, Thundercrackers sonic boom clap, Skywarps transwarping).

Grounders: Large ground bound dragonformers. The grounders are the largest of the dragonformer race. Grounders have a larger bulk to them allowing them to intimidate their targets. Grounders don't usually have sigma abilities like seekers. Trained in hunting and stalking they can easily overpower a seeker who is grounded from a wounded wing. Those grounders who are best at stalking are known to have a slimmer frame to them. Long legs and a sleek body they could pass as a seeker born without wings. (Ex. Optimus (intimidation type), Bulkhead (Strength type), Arcee (stalker type))

Sub-Seekers: A sub base of seeker that evolved from a union of grounder and seeker. More data required

Aerialbots:? More data required

Predacon: ? More data required

Minicon: Minicon are small dragonformers that can merge with their bonded or chosen partner. Some minicons specialize in enhancing certain aspects and abilities of their partners. More data required
