Third Person POV
The battle had been fierce, niether side willing to give an inch of ground. It had remained that way for well over five groons and it didn't seem to be ending anytime soon. Prowl, who had caculated for a long battle, was looking for a way to end it quickly. Now, Prowl wasn't one to just rush into the center of the battlefield, but he needed to gain the attention of a certain seeker. Taking out a normal plasma rifle from his subspace, Prowl charged out towards where Optimus Prime and Megatron were, once again, locked in a deadly duel. As expected, Starscream came to head him off. Prowl, seeing the Decepticon SIC coming, shot at Starscream's thrusters, causing one to smoke and sputter angrily. This forced Starscream to land so he could save whatever flight capabilities he had left for the trip back to the nemesis.
Not happy being grounded, Starscream charged Prowl with dark intent and dark purpose. Thundercracker and Skywarp, seeing their trine leader's plight, took to firing on any Autobots that came close to Starscream. Prowl had barely enough time to anticipate the first strike of Starscream's fist as it came instead of a blast from the seeker's null rays. Rolling out of the way, Prowl found himself grappling with the seeker. Not many could or would understand why niether SIC didn't go for strikes on wings or doorwings, which would quickly end things. However, only one saw the hidden conversation between the two, and found himself throughly confused by the exchange. After several tense moments, the two SIC split from each other in search of better targets. Many on each side would say because they were equally matched in hand to hand combat, but the observer knew different.
As Prowl rushed to the medtent, Starscream snuck up behind Optimus Prime and Megatron. Ironhide saw him coming and started to intercept the seeker. However, before he reached him, a shot fired causing the battlefield to go silent as Autobots and Decepticons alike stared in shock. Where Optimus Prime and Megatron stood, Starscream was trying to get Megatron back on his pedes as he apologized for his poor aim. After sending the seeker across the battlefield with a blow to the face, Megatron ordered the Decepticon retreat, leaving without the energon they were attempting to steal. The Autobots rejoiced as they gathered up the injured and went to board the ever patient Skyfire.
The trip back to the arc was a relatively quiet one despite the Autobots being cheerful in beating off the Decepticons. Skyfire wondered how he would ask Prowl about the conversation he witnessed between the two SIC. Despite what everyone thought or believed, he did not pine for Starscream and the relationship they had before the war. In fact, Skyfire held nothing but contempt for the seeker that was once his friend. Especially since it seemed that he was now in a relationship with the Autobot SIC, Prowl. Now, skyfire wasn't one to hold back important information, but he wanted the whole story before bringing it up with Optimus or the rest of the command staff.
Once landed, Skyfire waited patiently for everyone to disembark from his cargo hold before transforming. He looked around for Prowl, and quickly spotted him speaking with Optimus and Ironhide. Being mindfull of the much smaller Autobots and even smaller humans, Skyfire made his way to them. "I don't get it, Prime. Starscream had a clear shot at you, but he shot megatron. Not even Starscream is as bad of a shot as he claimed." Ironhide says as Skyfire comes up. "He didn't miss. Right, Prowl, sir?" Skyfire says questioningly. Prowl's face betrays nothing but his doorwings speak for him. Friend, Ally, confidant. Those are the words those doorwings conveyed to the much bigger Skyfire in the language of wings.
"Prowl, what is Skyfire going on about?" Optimus asks sternly. Prowl looks to him and shakes his helm. "it is not for all to hear, sir" Prowl finally says. Optimus nods and he leads Prowl, Ironhide, and Skyfire to the larger conference room meant for large groups due to Skyfire's size. After a quick com, Ratchet, Jazz, and Red Alert join them with Ratchet bearing energon for the exhausted mechs. Setting the energon down where all can reach it, Ratchet is the one to break the silence. "What is so important that i have to leave a medbay of injured bots?" Ratchet asks sounding a little pissed. "We are here to address a concern that has recently been brought up in the recent battle." Optimus says as everyone graps a cube of energon. "To be honest, I expected the battle to go longer then it did, Prime." Ironhide says as a few of the others nod.
"That's because it would have if Prowl and Starscream hadn't planned to end it" Skyfire says making the room go quiet. Red Alert snorts a little. "Are you seriously saying that Prowl is in league with the Decepticon SIC? Even I have trouble believing that. What I can see is Starscream Purposely shooting Megatron in an assassination attempt." Red Alert says and takes a drink of his energon. "It would probably look that way to those that are not familiar with the language of wings from Vos. However, while Prowl and Starscream were fighting, they had a decent conversation between each other." Skyfire says and downs his seeker grade energon. "I did find it curious that Prowl never returns with door wing damage when he faces Starscream. I also noticed that Prowl never Intentionally damages Starscreams wings in a battle." Ratchet says as he drinks his own energon.
At this, all optics turn to Prowl, who has barely drank any of his energon. "That is because Starscream is an Autobot spy" Prowl says. Everyone looks at Prowl in shock. "You have ta be pulling our crank cases, Prowl. Screamer, ah spy?" Jazz says trying to remain chill. Prowl looks at the others seriously. "I am not pulling any crank cases, Jazz. It is a fact. Starscream is in fact, the Autobot Spymaster, Highwind." Prowl says. Jazz nearly falls out of his seat in surprise. "Highwind was reported to have deactivated in the attack on Vos." Optimus says. Prowl nods. "And how long has Starscream and his trine been with the Decepticons? It was supposed to look like Highwind deactivated." Prowl says.
