Sari and Bumblebee were in Sari's room now after Bumblebee found her with Starscream. Sari knew that she was going to have this conversation with him eventually. Bumblebee wanted answers and he was about to get them. Ever since she told them about the cave she has been acting strange and she was going to find out why. And with Starscream being around, she was acting even stranger, thus making him even more suspicious about the cave incident.

Sari was sitting in her tire/bed as Bumblebee was sitting on the ground in front of her. After they both settled he said "Alright Sari, I know something happened in that cave that you didn't tell us about." He said it more like a statement than a question.

Sari sighed and said "You're right Bumblebee. I didn't tell you certain things that happened in there." She stopped knowing when she continued Bumblebee would have a bad reaction.

"Well, what did happen that you didn't tell us about?" Bumblebee said showing his concern.

Sari looked up to her large yellow friend and said "When I woke up I found myself in the cave. When I was fully awake I found Starscream there too."

Bumblebee's optics widen at that one sentence. That was one rather important detail she left out from what she told them previously. Originally, all she told them was that she woke up and just found her way out. But that was a major difference. "Starscream was there?! Why didn't-"

"I didn't finish!" Sari yelled interpreting him then continued "This is why I didn't tell you. I know you guys wouldn't let me tell the whole thing that happened!"

Bumblebee was about to say something in defense but found it to be pointless. With that being the case he remained silent. He then motioned his hand telling her to continue.

"Starscream found me when I woke up. I was scared and tried to run away, but he eventually caught me. When he caught me we both learned that both of us were lost inside the cave. He told me about how he was going to take me and use me as a tool or something. We eventually started our way out of the cave and with no end in site. After a while we started talking about certain things like why Starscream was trying to defeat Megatron and why I am staying with you guys. After a few hours we stopped to rest. When I woke I saw a strange creature." She stopped and shuttered at the horrific memory but still continued "I was attacked and screamed for him. And shortly after he came and saved me but he was attacked by another one of those things. He was able to fight him off but he heavily damaged. I went to him but he told me to leave him but I..." she stopped for a moment but continued "I couldn't leave him. So I used my key to repair him. After that we got out and then he let me go and told me I wasn't his target anymore."

Bumblebee was surprised to hear this about Starscream. Out of all the Decepticons he actually showed compassion toward another and to make it even more shocking that he thanked her by letting her go, even when she could have helped his cause a lot.

"And that's why I worried for him. And that's why he didn't fire on you." Sari finished with putting her head down.

"Oh. I see." Bumblebee said rubbing his shoulder. "Sorry, I...well"

"It's okay...I know why you did." She answered.

Unknowing to both of them a cyber ninja was hearing most of there conversation and left the young girl's room immediately.

--Starscream's Holding--

Starscream lied back against the wall tiredly glaring at the ceiling. He couldn't believe this, being captured by a bunch of maintenance bots. Of course with the help of Megatron...well really Blitzwing.

Despite that being that being the fact he was starting to get over it. And since all he could do is really wait and not worry about anything else. That being the case he was able to actually think about things. Something he was too hasty to do.

He first started to think about what Sari told him first; that control over the Decepticons was no longer possible. He originally thought that if Megatron was gone he would immediately become leader. But now that he thought about he realized that wasn't right. If he was still officially with the Decepticons that would be true since he was next in command but since he was no longer with the Decepticons that was no longer true. Even with his drone seekers he still lost that possibility. Even if he did destroy Megatron the other Decepticons wouldn't follow him. They would probably follow Shockwave before him. So she was in fact right, control over the Decepticons was no longer an option.

Then he started to think about the second thing they talked about; joining the Autobots. For all practical purposes he couldn't see himself an Autobot. For one he didn't agree with them on almost everything. He wanted control and take what he wanted. But then again he couldn't do that anymore anyway though. So how hard could it be to change his ways. Well to him...very. But if he did he could stay with Sari, a true friend...only friend at that.

Again back to her. Even after a few weeks he still couldn't get what he saw in her. But all he knew was that she was the only one he could even stand to be around without sooner or later wanted to blow her head off. Even before he knew anything about her he couldn't see himself killing her. Even though she did in fact annoy him but it was all in good cause and it did in fact help him see the flaws in his plans and his reasons to fulfill them.

Starscream sighed and the closed his optic covers and put his head down. Just as he did so he heard a swooping sound. Starscream immediately opened his optics and saw in front of him the black and gold cyber ninja Autobot that captured him.

"Confused aren't you Starscream." Prowl said to him walking closer to him.

"What's it to you Autobot?" He growled. "Before you know it, the Elite Guard will be here to take me off you hands."

Prowl ignored Starscream's remark and said "I see that you have shown a liking to Sari."

Starscream raised his optics but they then lowered to a glare and said "How do you know about that?"

Prowl walked away from him and said "I have my ways. Regardless I believe you are troubled."

"You don't know anything about my situation." He interrupted.

"You're troubled on your alliance...your morals...your plans. You know taking control is not an opinion and you being captured limits you even further."

Starscream glared at the cyber ninja at how fast he figured it all out so fast. He couldn't believe this. All this is was so obvious to him.

"What do you want?" Starscream said changing the subject.

Prowl turned back to the Starscream and said in a serious tone. "Well technically, it's more what you want Starscream."

Sorry for the long delays. School and other factors are in the way. Well I forgot to give you readers a clue to what happened in the last chapter with Sentinal. Think of the episode in another seriers called 'Call of the Primitives' and you'll figure out what happened to him on Cybertron. Thus leading to a Sub Plot.
