"Summon Knockout and his siblings, Starscream." Megatron commanded, walking with an authoritative, intimidating stride to the landing docks of the Nemesis. Seekers stood in long lines like perfected clones, awaiting Megatron's orders. "They are going to be needed on this mission."

"All three of our medics?" Starscream asked, trying to figure out why Megatron would want the presence of all three of their medics on the mission. Not that he wouldn't mind having Knockena accompany them. He found her company more pleasurable than her brothers. "Will we be expecting casualties?"

"No. But I know they would want to revisit their home." Megatron replied darkly, crossing his arms behind his back. "Do what you must, but ensure that all three of them are on this ship by earth's sundown."

"Understood, master."

"Starscream, with all due respect, you've lost it."

"Oh come on, sis, think about it; we get to go home." Reedline stated, excitement pulsating through his system. The last time he was home felt like eons ago. Unlike his siblings, he was starting to feel homesick. "A simple energon fetching mission on Cybertron and we'll get a chance to see if our home is still standing. This is...like...an amazing chance!"

Starscream took comfort that Knockout and Reedline were agreeing with him. However, he had hoped that Knockena wouldn't act so stubborn and insist the three of them remain on the Nemesis. Sometimes she acted more like a carrier than a sister.

"It's madness is what it is." Knockena argued, crossing her arms stubbornly. "What makes you think we're gonna find Energon on Cybertron anyway? That's why everyone left to begin with! How do we know this isn't a mission just for Megatron's entertainment? I say 'no'."

"Oh I must insist, dear Knockena." Starscream insisted, trying to smile reassuringly. He chose his next words carefully if he were to convince her. "Knockout has agreed to join, and now Reedline. Both of your brothers desire to see their home again. You wouldn't want to disappoint?"

"Not like I haven't before."

Starscream gritted his teeth together, holding his temper. Starscream hated arguing against someone as stubborn as Knockena, specifically because she'd never give up. Eventually Starscream would give up and would be forced to use more drastic matters.

"Imagine; finding your formal abode." He continued, walking over to the monitor and pressed a few buttons. Images of Cybertron at it's former glory, a builiding familiar to both Knockena and Reedline appeared next to an academy. Starscream grinned triumphantly, quickly wiped it away when he turned to face them. "Reminiscing old memories, finding lost treasures, valuables of your care takers."

Then he forced a solemn look on his face, and lowered his voice. "Your carrier would certainly wish for you and your brothers to go home." He lowered his head, making his grievance more convincing. "I may not have met her, but I think she would want her beloved sparklings to start new life's from their origin, perhaps find mates and start families of your own, a family anew. I will, personally, ensure the three of you will not be disturbed."

Breakette grinned happily, imaging a life with Knockout. Despite his narcissistic and sinister ways, she found herself attracted to him. And to hear there was a chance for him and his siblings to live on Cybertron, she knew either he or Knockena would insist Breakette to stay with them. She looked up at Knockena with hope, which quickly dissipated into fear.

Knockena's deep red optics narrowed at Starscream, searching for any sign of lies in his voice print. Although she won't admit it, it sounded like heaven and she wanted a piece of it. But she was familiar with Starscream's work.

Noticing her red icy glare, Starscream maintained a calm demeanor. He couldn't see how she was Knockout's sister; Knockout wasn't as hard headed as her.

"What does he plan on doing when we reach Cybertron, Starscream?" Knockena asked suspiciously, uncrossing her arms, she slowly approached him. "Does he plan on exiling us like he did with StarRae? Which, may I add, you have shown no remorse."

Starscream sucked in a deep breath, and straightened his posture. Knockena had to bite back her smile, realizing she hit a nerve. "As much as it pains me to see such beauty lost to the darkness of space, there was nothing I could have done."

"Oh that's just scrap." Knockena snarled, her servo shaking, begging to slap Starscream. Starscream us up to his usual 'subtly assassinate Megatron' tactics. Only this time, Megatron found StarRae behind the controls and exiled her, claiming to show mercy on a former servant. When Knockena found out, she was more than furious at Starscream for not standing up for her. "She took the blame for something you did!"

"Did I ask her to do me any favors?" Starscream asked unintentionally.

"You didn't need too." Knockena stood so close to Starscream's faceplate she could hear the hum of his online interior system. Standing on the top of her landing pads, she stared into his optics, revealing as much anger and hate towards him as she could muster. "If you would tell her to jump, she would ask how high. She would rather give her spark than let you take anymore hits."

"She would?"

"You densed slagger!"

"Megatron is aware they are not sufficient fighters, is he not? " Breakette asked, struggling to hold Knockena back.

"You let me go!"

"You dare to say such words to me!?"

"We're happy to go." Reedline intervened, the three of them shot their heads to Reedline who was smiling. Ignoring Knockena's icey glares, he clapped his servos together. "When do we leave?"

"Oh...well...I'm over joyed to hear, Reedline. We shall leave immediately." Starscream said, surprised that Reedline agreed so quickly. At the same time he was grateful, time was running short, and Starscream knew better than to disobey one of Megatron's orders so soon.

"Got it, heir commandant." Reedline winked, placing an arm on Knockena's stiff shoulder pads.

"You sound just like your older brother."Starscream commented, leaving the room.

"What are you doing making decision for both of us?" Knockena shouted, slapping Reedline across his faceplate. "Didn't you hear a word I just said?! What makes you think-"

"It's our chance to escape." Reedline whispered harshly, his optics expressing a mixture of desperation and hope. He placed his servos her shoulder pads. "We can get out of here, we get to go home."
