Below him, Autobots were running for their lives, still too far from the pick up point. Above him, three Seekers roared past trying to get a shot on the fleeing 'Bots. Of course, they didn't care who they hit as he dodged for his own life.

He banked as quickly as his huge form would allow and shouted and commed on an open link, "STARSCREAM!" He didn't know what he intended to accomplish with this maneuver but at least he was trying something.

"Frag off, coward," Skywarp sent. He could hear Starscream's laughter pitched higher over Thundercracker's. If Skyfire had been in 'Bot mode his optics would've narrowed dangerously. As it was, he pursued the Seekers, slowly catching up. It was obvious they didn't think he was capable of harming them because they weren't trying to get away. He brought his rarely used missiles online. There was no hurry. He aimed carefully and fired.

Starscream shrieked in rage and pain as Skyfire's shot hit home. Smoke billowed from the Seeker's wing marking his flight back to 'Con headquarters.

Skyfire watched the Seekers flee. "Don't EVER laugh at me, Starscream," he whispered.
