Starscream flew back to Megatron as fast as he could, since he was relieved of duty from watching the aerialbots. He had gathered a good bit of the data Megatron had wanted. Didn't know if the amount was going to help, since there wasn't much he could look up. Only because of an Autobot coming into the computer room. But as soon as he arrives he transformed and went up to the entrance.
Starscream grabbed the doors, opened them and entered the tower Megatron was in.
He went all the way up to where Megatron was at and saw him overlooking the barren land that was still around the area. Megatron didn't look at him as he knew Starscream was right behind him. Since he thought that Megatron didn't know he was there, he carefully approached him.
"So Starscream! Did you do as I requested?" Megatron asked.
Starscream was startled at this, but knew he had to pull himself together and inform Megatron. "Well sir; I only found out most of what you requested. The rest is unknown." he tells him.
"What is unknown? What all was missing? All I asked for is for you to find the ship, the energon preserves, Unicron's spark and where Soundwave is. IS THAT SO AHRD TO ACCPOMPLISH?" Megatron asked.
"I-I'm af-fraid that's all I could find. Besides, you know how hard it is to find them with all those autobots roaming around? I even had to watch over the Arielbots. Only to make sure their training went accomplished. Not to arouse any suspicion. " Starscream told Megatron.
"And what suspicion would that be?" Megatron asked as he walked up to him. "THAT YOU WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GIVE SUSPICION IF YOU WERE ACTING FUNNY OR WEIRD! THAT TIGHT THERE IS SUSPICION. NOT TALKING GIBBERSIH OR TRYING TO ACT INNOCENT." he shouted at him. Starscream was a bit surprised at this, but Megatron knew him very well. "Don't think I don't know you Starscream. I know you very well and how you will always play the innocent card. It's not hard to see it." Megatron tells him.
"Then what should I do then? Go back and recollect data?" he asks.
"No! You know where our ship is, right?" Megatron asks.
"Yes my liege." he replies.
"Then what I say is this. We head to Iacon and look for the ship. I would like to know if it's in working order; and to try and find Soundwave." he tells Starscream and walks off.
"Now this aughta be good." Starscream says to himself. They both exit the tower and Transform.
Not too long after they arrive in Iacon and stay as high as they can. Megatron notices all the autobot recruits. He notices them training, recalling the other current invasion of the Quintessons from a few years prior. All of that was in the past and he didn't worry about it. They came up to a hangar-bay area and they looked around the place. Wondering where the Nemesis was.
"Starscream! Where is the hangar that holds the Nemesis at? I'm wanting to know if it still functions and hold any data records or where Soundwave is." he tells him.
"Why do you want to know about him? He's been gone for nearly 20 years. Not even I know of his location." Starscream states.
"You may not, but the ship might know. The cameras might still have caught what happened and might still have the data. I must know." he says and flies lower.
Starscream follows and catches up with him. "Okay, fine! If you REALLY want to know where the hangar is. It's this way. Just don't be surprised." he told him and he led him away from the hangar-bay's. They continued on till they got to some sort of building. Even Megatron thought this was an ordinary building.
"Starscream! What is this? Did you just drag me out here for some reason?" Megatron asked.
"This is the place that holds the Nemesis. The Autobots wanted to keep it a secret, just to not arouse anything or any hopes that the Decepticons will return." he told him.
"The current history is long past of Cybertron. But will soon return back to us soon. For we shall be a new. From out of the old, will soon be a new. We shall be a new as well, when things go into place and everything is ready." he tells him as they approach the secret hangar.
They fly up to the front, transform and approached the building. Megatron looked at it, not knowing how to get in. Starscream didn't know either and looked about around the building. As he did Megatron aimed his canon and fired a few shot, in which Starscream heard. He ran back and saw what he did.
"MEGATRON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM AS IF SOMEONE WAS HERE? TRYING TO GET OUR SHIP?" Starscream asked. Megatron didn't say anything, but walked closer to the building. "Eh! What are you doing?" he asked.
"Take a look of where I shot. Notice..." Starscream looked at the door and saw no marks from his blasts.
"BUT-BUT HOW?" Starscream asked.
"Seems as if the Autobots didn't want for anyone or anything in here. Completely reinforced. Including, I can tell this is not where the ship is actually at." Megatron said.
"How can you tell? It's obvious that it's here! The place is big enough and yet, we can't find a way in." Starscream stated.
"There where would it be? If not here..." Megatron transformed and flew up as Starscream was talking; and saw this. "What?" he transformed as well and followed. "Where are you going? This has to be the..." "Don't you think it would be too obvious?! They obviously made that building as the decoy. No way to get in. Just to trick anyone that's looking for the Nemesis." Megatron said.
"But how would you even know that? A decoy? The Autobots can't put out a decoy. That would put out too much suspicion on where the Nemesis is. It's been missing for nearly..." "Nearly 20 years! I know. It would have been found by now. IF the Autobots kept the recruits in bounds for that amount of time. Ultra Magnus has hidden a lot of history from them." Megatron said. Interrupting Starscream.
"How would you have known that? I know what all had happened in the past." Starscream stated.
"Yet the past is about to repeat itself. Our cause will soon rise. We will be a new force to be reckoned with. Our power, WILL BE GREAT!" Megatron tells him as they approach another hangar, but this didn't look like one, unlike the other one did. They both transform in the air and approach the hangar.
Starscream approached the building and took a look. He saw some rust on it, since it hasn't been used in so long. Not even a door was seen. "I'm sorry my liege. But there doesn't seem to be a door here either." he tells Megatron.
"Stand aside Starscream. I'll handle this." Megatron told him. Starscream stood aside as Megatron went up to the building as well. He aimed his canon and fired at the doors. From that blast a thin line was revealed in the middle. Starscream looked completely shocked at this. "The rust practically sealed that line in the middle. It's rarely used and Magnus never did want anyone to know the full truth." Megatron said.
"But they know of the history. What truth is there to hide?" Starscream asked. "All Autobots know about the history of what happened in the past. Why would they need to keep secrets? What's there to hide in the Nemesis?" Starscream continued.
"There are some things that not even you may not know Starscream." Megatron said as he approached the hangar. "I'll need some assistance." he told him. Starscream joined him and they both opened the sliding doors. When they were open wide enough they looked inside and saw their ship. The Nemesis. As Starscream looked shocked and amazed he began to approach it. "One other thing, Starscream." Megatron said. Starscream looked at him and he flew at him and pinned him the wall, holding his head there. "Shout at me like that again and it won't be pleasant." he said and released him.
Starscream rubbed his head after he fell onto the floor, then looked at Megatron as he got closer to the ship. He looked up at his old ship. Seeing how big it was again reminded him of the many battles that took place. Megatron transformed and flew up the ship. Starscream watched and joined after watching Megatron.
They both got to the platform of the ship and turned back into robots. Walking up to the entrance they had to manually open it to get in.
It was pitch black in the ship as they continued in. "Why are we even in here when there's no power?" Starscream asked. "The energon in here was removed years ago. There's no way to power it now." he claimed.
"So you think, Starscream." Megatron said as he continued on. "I remember every part of this ship. Much like I know Cybertron." he told him.
"At least you know something." Starscream said to himself and continued on walking. The two entered into the bridge and looked around. Starscream barely knew what he was supposed to do. Megatron however, knew what all he was doing. He knew the ship wasn't functional without a large quantity of energon.
"This ship always had a large quantity of energon! However, the Autobots took it all out and into storage. I was unable to find the storage since I had a limited time before another Autobot came in." he told Megatron.
"That I know as well, Starscream! It's not too obvious to tell what happened here." Megatron told him as they opened another door, continuing their walk. "The Autobots took everything of use from in here. Just to make everything work more smoothly. Including the artifacts. Only to be placed in the museum." he stated.
"You know all of this? Yet you rarely visit..." "I also said that I snuck over a few times. I know a lot that the Autobots have changed. There's more to what I know than meets the eye. Like the energon source that we require to power the ship. That would take at least 30 energon cubes or more." Megatron stated.
"What? That many? I thought it took only one to power this ship. Never knew it took that much to do that. I know this ship needs power but that many?!" Starscream said till he rethought. "But, then again, this ship does look like it would take massive amounts of energon. Probably hundreds of cubes." he said.
"Well it doesn't Starscream! This ship only takes a certain amount of energon. But while it was active all those years ago, it took only one cube at a time. That way we had enough energon not only to move the ship; but to give us more of an edge." Megatron told him.
"That part I knew as well. The one where we have more of an edge. Plus of any injuries and to replenish us from battle." Starscream states. "As well as for getting that much energon here. Will take some time. I'll be able to find out in due time of where it is." he tells Megatron.
"We also need to find Soundwave! He's a key to my plans for what I have in mind. The only communications officer that I can truly trust. Along with Shockwave as well. Both of whom, I need in my ideals. Now!" Megatron says as he goes up to him. "We need the energon to find Soundwave and the means to transport it. Do you know of anyway?" he asks Starscream, in an ordered question.
"I think I might, my liege. But it will require me to hack back into the main computer screen. In addition, why are we even here?" Starscream asked.
"We are going to locate Soundwave. He's the one with prior knowledge and a sneaky partner to gather intel." Megatron stated. "Without them, we won't be able to accomplish what I have planned. This ship holds them. My keys." Megatron states.
"Then how do you think we can accomplish this? Huh? It's not like I have connections to the energon source the Autobots have! It's on high security to former Decepticons. It's impossible to..." "ENOUGH!" Megatron shouted at Starscream.
"You clearly forgot about Shockwave! He's the Decepticon scientist. I know he's still loyal since I've had contact with him these years. That's why I know he'll be prepared for this. I told him about my thoughts years ago." Megatron told him.
"He never told anyone? Including me? This is absurd. I should know as well. That way I would have been more prepared." Starscream said.
"You would have also blown our cover years ago. Then I would've had to of killed to just to wait longer. I'm not about to let that happen. Which is why Shockwave should be well prepared for this." Megatron said.
"Then how can he be ready? It would take a lot of time for him to be ready for this." Starscream said.
"He has had the time for this. Carefully planning and readying at my command. He'll be ready" Megatron said as they went to the exit of the ship. As they both went outside, onto the front of the ship Megatron looked outward. "Till then, get the whereabouts of the energon supply. I'll be waiting." Megatron said before he converted and flew off.
Starscream watched as he flew off. Not only was he able to find the whereabouts of the ship. But he also needed to find the energon source. "This is something that will be most difficult. Finding that energon source will be, as the humans say it, trying to find a needle in the haystack." he stated. Starscream then transformed and flew off.
Near Iacon and Megatron's stronghold was a smaller section in the untouched land area. In tat section was a building, smaller than Megatron's, but larger underground. Inside that building were a lot of jars of energon, pieces of Predacons, tools used in experiments and other stuff. But who was in the building was a large purple figure, mixing things together and building something.
As he turned around there was a red eye in his head, a cannon on his left arm, a blade on his right and the Decepticons symbol on his lit up chest. This was non-other than Shockwave. He turned a quarter ways back to look at what he was building. It was a small black object that looked like a mechanical cat. There were sharp teeth on it and four sharp claws on each paw. The entire thing was nearly complete.
"This will be a good essential for lord Megatron; for it will be our device to penetrate into Iacon. The Decepticons will soon rise again." he stated.
A close up of the cat like robot shows us the Decepticon symbol and a project name: Recon Cat.
