Prowl kept his gaze on the Decepticon waiting for him to answer. Prowl knew that Starscream was troubled and knew that just waiting for him to go offline wasn't an option. He would just continue to try and escape and going around causing havoc and destruction for whatever misguided reason that came up. He knew that Starscream wanted his frustration to end and that being the case, Prowl wanted it to end too.

Starscream looked up to the Autobot ninja and said with a glare "What's it to you what my decision is anyway?"

Prowl looked straight into Starscream's optics and answered "Because your decision changes everything for everyone. And don't think that waiting for the Elite Guard to come and apprehend you is one of your options."

Starscream turned away from him angrily and grumbled something that even Prowl couldn't understand. After a moment of doing so he turned back and said "Well than what can I do?!"

"You have three options:" Prowl turned away from him and continued "1. You join the Autobots as a supervised neutral guest, 2. You return to the Decepticons...if they let you come back or 3. You go back to being neutral. Those are your only options." He then turned back to him and continued "But before you answer, examine all of your options carefully. Find the consequences of each of your options and then make your decision."

Starscream was able to tell that he wasn't kidding about the Elite Guard thing so like before, there was no reason to be hasty on his decision. He couldn't believe he was doing this but he followed Prowl's instructions and examine each one of his options carefully. That being the situation, he decided to start with the one that seemed to most logical and that was to go neutral. At first it seemed like the best choice...if he had a place to go, but since Megatron and the Decepticons found him and his original hiding place. It wouldn't be too hard to restart from the beginning but since Megatron is going to be all over him once Megatron finds out that he is no longer in the Autobots control. Even though he now found that destroying Megatron was pointless he knew would still hunt him down and would take him out.

He looked at the second most logical choice and that was returning to the Decepticons. He really didn't need to hard on that one...for it really wasn't an option in the first place.

So tossing those options aside he saw he had only one option left...joining the Autobots as a supervised neutral guest. Well it was his only other option and the others are gone.

Even though that was the case he decided to examine the last option. He already knows that he would have to make some serious changes with himself and fight some temptations and urges he had. And he already knew that if he agrees he would have this ninja or Bulkhead following him around. But then again if he agrees he would be able to have Sari around. But at the same time he would have to start taking orders. But at the same if he wanted to live he had to do so.

Prowl knew what Starscream was thinking. Again like before he came he was examining each of his options carefully. He knew that Starscream would more than likely choose to stay with the Autobots. And that being the case he was sure that Starscream would have no reason to revolt.

Starscream sighed and looked up at the ninja Autobot with a glare and said "Fine...I'll stay with you Autobots."

Prowl nodded and walked over to him. He then instructed him to get on his feet so he could remove the cuffs on him. Starscream did as he was told and waited for Prowl to remove the cuffs behind his back. After he removed the cuffs on him Prowl stood ready for Starscream to attack suddenly. To his surprise he didn't even make any sudden moves and what was more shocking was that he was complying without question. But even if he did Prowl didn't have to worry about much. Prime removed Starscream's thermal shock blasters.

Prowl walked in front of him keeping an optic on him as he went if front of him. Starscream still had his annoyed smirk on his face but Prowl could tell that Starscream wasn't going to hurt him...or at least fight the temptation to.

"Now that you are free I'm going to be supervising you. It's best I keep an optic on you."

Starscream smirk went to a glare yet again and said "Does Prime even know that you are doing this?"

Prowl remained silent for a moment but then said "Not yet...follow me." Starscream did as he was told.

He still couldn't believe he was doing this! And from the bot that apprehended him he is letting him free! He couldn't believe this!

"Don't beat yourself self over your decision Starscream. You made the right choice...believe me."

Starscream made an annoyed smirk but followed him out of the small storage room. Prowl opened it all the way so Starscream could simply just walk out in which he did. Prowl then closed it and continued and Starscream followed.

--Opposite End of the Hallway--

Sari and Bumblebee just got over the conversation. Bumblebee got the answers he wanted and Sari finally got the tell Bumblebee this and was able to get it off her chest. So in the long run everyone got something out of it. But Bumblebee still couldn't believe what he heard. Starscream...a good guy? And out off all of them. Not that he'd expect any of the other Decepticons so show a liking to anyone but themselves but Starscream would be one of his last guesses.

"Well, thanks for clearing things up for me." Bumblebee said rubbing the back of his head and standing up.

Sari stood up and said "Thanks for listening to the whole story." With a smile on both their faces they left her room. Bumblebee lifting the shutter door and both went out and went to go see the others. But on the way there they saw Prowl in the hallway with Starscream behind them.

"Starscream's escaped! Prowl-!" Bumblebee yelled transforming his arms to his stingers but Prowl interrupted him by saying "Stand down Bumblebee! He's not going to hurt us. I released him he will not attack us." He then forced Bumblebee to lower his stingers and after doing so, they transformed back into hands.

"Prowl has your mainframe gone haywire! If boss bot knows about this he'll dismantle us!" Bumblebee exclaimed.

"I know what I'm doing Bumblebee. I-" Prowl was cut off by Bumblebee saying "You know Prime is going to have a spark attack when he sees..."

They continued to argue and it annoyed Sari. She looked over to Starscream was still behind Prowl with the same expression as hers. She walked by Bumblebee and Prowl and went in front of Starscream. Starscream noticed her and gave a light chuckle as he kneeled down up his hand out. Sari smiled and walked on his palm and placed her on his shoulder then stood back up.

Sari sighed and said "So, I guess you'll being staying with us."

Starscream continued to watch the two argue and said "It's not like I had much of a choice."

Sari turned to Starscream's head and said "Don't worry Starscream, You'll adapt. And I'll help you through it." She said in a positive tone.

Starscream smirked and said "And you better help me through it because I know these two aren't going to be much help!" he raised his voice when he said 'help' to get their attention.

Both Prowl and Bumblebee turned to Starscream and saw Sari on his shoulder. Bumblebee stood with his optics wide as Prowl only smiled. He knew if Sari was around to help him through this, everything would resolve itself in the end.

--Somewhere in space--

A small alien scientist looked over the controls of his computer. He looked up at the monitor of an orange cloud on it. The monitor changed to Cybertron showing it completely dark. The screen then changed to a large star (not the sun) and it showed it completely dark.

The scientist laughed and said in a wicked, rough tone "One planet and sun is dead. Now to find another!"

Now if you don't know what is going on for the sub plot from that final part than you know nothing of Transformers!
