Chapter 10.

They took a ground bridge to Iacon and started fighting the Leviathan crew.

Optimus was fighting Astraea. While Smokescreen and Bumblebee were fighting Dead Heat. And Arcee was fighting Flame War.

While Bulkhead and Wheeljack were fighting Breakneck. And Ratchet was fighting Firebreaker.

Starscream who was still recovering stayed at base with Knock Out and Flatline and they were watching the battle from a video feed and acting as mission control.

"It's strange I don't see Switchblades anywhere." Said Flatline.

"You'd think being the leader of the Leviathan crew he would be front and center." Knock Out added.

Starscream realized they were both right this didn't make any since why would the leader of the Leviathan crew not take part in the battle for Iacon?

Megatron had always been present for the main event and even when he was acting as the Decepticon leader Starscream had always wanted be there to claim victory. Unless it was a destination.

"Oh scrap!" Starscream thought as he came to the realization that the Leviathan attacking Iacon had just been a diversion to keep the Autobots busy.

Starscream told Knock Out and Flatline his thoughts and they decided to call the Autobots and warn them but couldn't get through to anyone because somehow the com-link signals were being jammed.

Then Knock Out heard Nightro whimpering from a different room and went to check on him.

Knock Out could hear the Cyber-Dog scratching at the inside of a closet and wondered how he got locked in there as he went to let him out.

Knock Out was just about to touch the handle when he was grabbed from behind as a servo was claimed over his mouth.

Knock Out start to activate his saw and drill having left his energon prob in the medbay where Starscream and Flatline were.

"Don't even think about it or I'll shoot you." Said Switchblades who was holding a blaster to Knock Out's spark chamber.

Knock Out stopped struggling knowing it would only get him killed. Then Switchblades forced the red medic take him to the weapons vault. And forced him to open it.

Then to Knock Out's horror he pick up the Spark Extractor. Something Brainstorm had been working on before he left Cybertron to go on the Lost Light even though Knock Out had begged him to just let it stay broken Brainstorm had insisted he'd find a good use for it.

Now Knock Out was wishing Brainstorm would having taken his advice.

Just then Starscream and Flatline ran in with Nightro who they had let out when they heard him howling and Knock Out hadn't come back yet which told them something was wrong.

"Thanks for fixing the Spark Extractor for me." Switchblades mocked them. "And now I believe your medic has outlived his usefulness."

Then he toss Knock Out forward and fired his blast at him. But Flatline jumped between Knock Out and the blast and fell to the ground having been shot in the midsection.

Switchblades took off in his jet mode with the Spark Extractor and a now angry Starscream flew after him while Knock Out got to work trying to save Flatline.

Starscream and Switchblades were now in a dogfight.

"So what are you planning to do with the Spark Extractor?" Asked Starscream as they continued to fire at each other and dodge.

"I'm going wipe out all of the Autobots." Switchblades told him.

"You don't have to do this Cybertron is at peace now it doesn't matter what faction we were on the war is over and we're all cybertronians it's not too late to do the right thing just call off your crew and put the Spark Extractor back in the weapons vault!" Starscream tried to reason with him.

"Your kidding yourself if you think anyone on Cybertron under the Autobots will let a Decepticon be part of their satiety." Switchblades told him.

"Now I'm going to drop the Spark Extractor on Iacon." He added.

"But your own men are still down there fighting the Autobots don't you care about your own crew?" Starscream asked him.

"Their all expendable." Switchblades told him without a hint of sympathy.

"You sick monster!" Starscream yelled at him.

But what Switchblades didn't know is his and Starscream's com-link were on and both the Autobots and the Leviathan crew heard every word Switchblades said.

And the Leviathan crew members all lowered their weapons and turned themselves in.

Starscream and Switchblades were still fighting when Switchblades turned on the Spark Extractor and dropped it. Starscream knew he had to stop it before it landed in Iacon.

So he started desperately trying to shoot it down in his jet mode. But kept missing. Then he got an idea.

Starscream transformed into his bot mode in midair then fired one of his missiles above him making himself fall faster until he was below the Spark Extractor then fired his other missile on it blowing it to bits.

But now he was falling fast then Starscream managed to change back to his jet mode just inches from the ground and shot back up into the sky and smiled knowing he had just saved his friends and Iacon.

But suddenly felt a missile hit him and crashed hard into the ground. Starscream tried to get up only to be stabbed in the shoulder by Switchblades who had shot him down.

"You stupid seeker!" Switchblades growled as he continued to beat Starscream. "You ruined my plan!"

"Looks like I finally did something right." Starscream moaned before Switchblades tossed him hard into the ground rendering him unconscious.

Then Switchblades started to stabbed Starscream in the spark chamber planning to finish the seeker off.

But was suddenly shot through the spark chamber and fell over dead.

Then the Autobots got there and saw a mech standing over Starscream.

"Megatron?" Optimus said to his old friend turned enemy turned friend again.

"Hellow Optimus." Megatron replied. "Starscream needs medical attention fast." He added.

Ratchet rushed over and got to work on Starscream right away as Bumblebee called for a ground bridge.

And Megatron went through it with them. All of them just hoping the seeker would live.
