Okay...where do I start... well for one I would like to say about the first two pages were done like forever ago but it wasn't much of a way to end the chapter. And really... I just never go to it and I was busy and... well to make a long story short I just got things to do another things pre-occupying my mind. (Such as other Fan Fiction plots)
The next morning for the Autobots came rather quick. However, the first one to awake was the only non Autobot of the group. The ex Decepticon Air Commander was the first to awake from his recharge. Shortly after he awoke he walked out of the ship to get away from the other Autobots before they awoke from their recharge.
Shortly after he awoke grabbed an Energon cube and made his way out of the ship. He didn't need the probable fact that Bumblebee or someone complain about using their energy. He left through the main openings that were the double side to side automatic doors and the doors closing behind him.
As soon as he walked out he took a sip from the Energon Cube and looked at the organic surroundings. He saw the dawn light hit through the forest trees and the small plants throughout the forest. He could also hear the small organic creatures making their calls and what not in their environment.
Starscream however either didn't notice the beauty of this or he didn't care. All he did was observe the surroundings even further from yesterday that Prowl was trying to explain to him. Prowl told him last night to observe the forest on his own and he would further understand why the Autobots protect it.
He still couldn't see it. He couldn't see the point in protecting it and putting his spark on the line for it. He could only see himself protecting himself and what he cared for and why so important to put anything else on the line? He didn't see the point in protecting Earth like the Autobots did regularly. Weather it was because he was programmed a Decepticon or it was just the fact that he wasted so many years trying to over throw Megatron he didn't know.
Just as Starscream was about to take another sip and taking a few steps away from the ship he heard the ships door open and close again. After taking a sip he turned around to see Prowl.
"Ah, Starscream. I didn't expect to see you up now." Prowl said to him as he advanced toward him and the doors closing behind him.
Starscream turned away from him taking a few steps away from the Cyber Ninja and said "Why are you up so early Autobot?"
"I'm always up this early." Prowl said ""This is when nature can truly show itself. Where all organic life can finally themselves in their habitat they were raised in. In peace and without care of others."
"Who's they?" Starscream asked as he took another sip of the Energon cube facing Prowl.
"Why, the organic creatures that inhabit this planet."
Starscream took another few steps away from the cyber ninja and said "I don't see it..."
"Hmm..." Prowl said taking a few step advancing toward him but still keeping a reasonable distance away from him.
"I don't see the point! Why risk your spark for this!" Starscream practically yelled and continued "What is the purpose of protecting these lower life forms and inferior beings! You Autobots constantly put all your effort and energy in protecting this planet and its life forms! Why point so much into so little?"
The black and gold transformer was silent for a moment to make sure Starscream was done with his rant. After he was sure Starscream was done he simply said "What about Sari?"
Now that caught the jet off guard. Here he was ranting about the pointlessness in protecting organic life and its planets and with most of his time with the Autobots he has been protecting one on his own free will.
Starscream took a final sip of the Energon cube till throwing the empty cube to the side. Starscream simply pretended to ignore the cyber ninja but Prowl knew that he got through the ex-Decepticon. However, he didn't find it necessary to plague the ex-Decepticon any further. He then turned away from him in another direction into the forest getting out of the former Air Commander's sight.
Starscream just stood their where he was from the start and decided to just dismiss everything bothering him out of his mainframe and waited for Sari.
Back in the ship Optimus Prime and Ratchet were doing a usual scan of the surrounding area. This is almost like priority in the morning for them and they did it everywhere, even back at the old base in Detroit. But there they had to do old fashion patrol.
"Nothing threatening in the surrounding area, Prime." Ratchet said to his leader.
"Well that makes me feel more comfortable knowing that this has worked for at least one night." Optimus said to the veteran medic turning away to leave the control room.
Ratchet returned to the large computer known as Teletraan I and started to look at the states of the states of the ship, such as power, overall damage, and etcetera. Optimus just left the control and the conversation didn't continue on.
Optimus was about to leave the small ship to get in on the outside environment but was stopped when he heard the small yawn He looked down to see the drowsy young girl Sari Sumdac.
"Sari, you're up early. Have trouble sleeping last night?" Optimus asked the young girl with concern.
Sari acknowledged the Autobot Squad leader and said "Yeah, I slept fine."
Optimus nodded and then said "Look, listen Sari, I'm sorry that we had to leave but it was necessary. Both you and your fellow humans' lives would be in danger if we stayed there. The city suffers enough damage with just standard crimes."
Sari nodded understandably but still disappointed and said "Yeah, I know" but her attitude changed back to her normal hyper mood saying "But today Starscream and I are going back to find a new one."
Optimus' optics widened and just as he was about to say something in protest Sari was already back in her room she was using to get ready. Optimus just sighed as he saw her get back in the small room she was using.
Now it wasn't so much that he was afraid that Starscream would harm her. He was convinced that he wouldn't do anything like that to her. It was more publicity from the humans. Most of them knew who and who weren't Autobots. He was pretty sure that that didn't about Starscream's special situation and was no longer an enemy. Not to mention a fighter jet flying around a highly populated area was strange all on its own.
Regardless, Optimus didn't find a good idea to stop them either. It was more than likely the best idea anyway since Starscream could fly and he was undeniably the fastest (Weather Bumblebee wants to face facts or not) out them. So in the end it was it was probably for the best.
It wasn't long till all the Autobots awakened and was ready for whatever the day could bring. Bumblebee was mostly looking for Sari shortly after he got up and had his morning need of energy. Prowl stayed in the forest and giving Starscream the solitude he wished to have. He found no reason to just keep pushing and not getting anywhere. He knew time would be the best way to tell if he would change for the better.
At this time Starscream was still just standing outside viewing the organic environment. Still confused and finding it pointless to fight for it. But he decided not to dwell on it any longer than he needed to.
Starscream was standing there for at least a good 10 minuets and Sari had yet to come out. He gave an annoyed smirk as he turned back to the ship to find her. Just as he made a few steps to the ship he saw the doors open and then saw the dark skinned girl he had been waiting on.
"You ready Starscream?" Sari asked as she walked out in front of him.
Starscream was about to yell at her and say something about having to wait for as long as he did. But he decided against it and just said "Let's just get out of here. I need to the un-need annoyance from-"
"Sari!" a voice yelled from the ship. Both the girl and the jet saw it was the yellow and black Autobot Bumblebee. "Sari, there you are! I was looking for you all over. What are you doing here?"
Sari looked up to her big yellow friend and said "Hey Bumblebee. Starscream and I are going back to Detroit to go see if we can find a new base."
"With him?!" Bumblebee yelled.
"You better keep your vocal processor shut Autobot!" Starscream growled so close to strangle the young bot.
"Quite!" Sari yelled. Both transformers looked down at the human. "Will you two get along already?! Bumblebee, Starscream is on our side now. Starscream, Bumblebee is going to start leaving you along."
Starscream glared at the young small bot and turned away from and Bumblebee did the same thing back. Sari sighed knowing that this was at best a quick fix and wasn't going to last long.
"So... can I come along?" Bumblebee asked the young girl.
"Uh...sure I think we can-"
"No!" Starscream yelled then continued "You are not nearly fast enough to keep up with me!"
Bumblebee growled and said "You think just because you can fly I can't keep up with you?!"
"You couldn't-" Starscream was cut off by a sudden blast coming near them. All of them put an arm up to cover the incoming debris from the blast. The three of them looked up to see the three usual plaguing Decepticons.
"Decepticons." Was all Sari said taking a few steps back.
"You Autobots are so predictable. It almost sickens me..." Megatron said in the usual displeased tone and then continued "Decepticons, destroy them."
Lugnut's single optic glared at the former Decepticon traitor and yelled "Destroy all those who betray Megatron!"
Okay, I really wouldn't be suprised if a few people started to stop reading this because of this chapter. I'm not totally displeased with it but I still think I could have done more with it. Also this wasn't supposed to end in a cliffhanger it was supposed to be the whole fight too but... I think that will be better for it's own chapter.
