How exactly am I supposed to deal with this???
My movements are losing precision, definitely not because I'm panicking. Why would my possessed leader coming to get me cause me any panic?...
"If you wouldn't mind I'll be taking my second in command out of your hands"
What am I?
A new toy?
I'm a bit too far for Megatron, he can't reach me.
"We weren't gonna do anythin'"..Who-who would actually take the wrecker's word? Certainly not I.
wait..is Megatron the only one here?
I need to keep calm, calmer than I currently am at least. These damned wings will be the death of me.
The Prime is thankfully distracted.
..I can see the juvenile's, the small humans..are they not more fragile at such a state in development?
The yelling match Prime and Megatron were having ended when I was grabbed and pulled into a reopened bridge, I must have tuned out the argument.
He continues to drag me until we reach the entrance to his quarters..
"What were you doing there?" He maintains a calm tone.
I..Oh Scrap
What excuse can I actually give him??
He won't believe me if I just say, I was out there to make sure the thing I foresaw in my fragging primus given vision didn't come to be, I would sound glitched, more than I already do.
"Plotting to team up with the Autobots?~"
ew
"Do I truly come off as that desperate to you lord?" I bare my teeth in disgust.
I'd applaud my own acting if it wouldn't make it so obvious I was acting. "I was..searching the area for energon"
..not technically a lie.
"You were..searching for energon? Alone?"
Why wouldn't I be alone?
"Were You Trying To Be Taken By The Autobots?!"
His yelling causes my entire being to flinch, frag.
A faulty mercy replaces the aggressive posture Megtron previously had-If I could kill him for just that I would.
"If you wanted to find energon you should've just told me~"
He's gonna put me in the mines isn't he.
I was right.
Although..
I suppose this is to be expected, I did lack a proper excuse for why I had been caught and cornered by our sworn enemies.
Tending to Vehicons while they mine isn't the worst..it's not really the best use of my abilities.
..Eh
I..sort of feel like I forgot something...What was it?...wait-
BREAKDOWN!!
Oh Scrap!
-BREAKDOWN!
-...
-BreakDown!?
-..StarScream?
I'll kill this fragging wrecker if he gets caught by those damned humans!
-Where are you?
-I was sent out, why?
...
-You're being stalked
-Eh?
-Rogue humans.
-Uh, sorry Scream I gotta handle this-
-BreakDown!
...If I end up stuck on KnockOut's medical table all because BreakDown got captured by Rogue humans and I had to make sure they don't waste a half trained medic or get a hold of our biological tech..
I don't know what I'll do.
Snap probably.
How have I not snapped before? Did I have some strength I lost in the many years of war?
...
...That depressing thought aside.
I need to prioritize not letting BreakDown get dissected.
I put one of the more capable Vehicons in charge. I can't have them running around with no one to keep them in line.
While I am aware they are Vehicons, something is better than nothing.
Frag..
I remember where it happens.
Lucky me~
Those damned wreckers aren't paying enough attention to their surroundings!
I'm not sure where the humans are..sadly humans don't give off any signal, no, that'd be too easy.
I'd rather not try to listen to their conversation.
Around the time either wrecker was about to get the upper hand, they get knocked out..
Should I just..watch?
Oh!
I have an idea!
The humans take BreakDown, I'll get them yet, but first I have to take advantage of this Autobot~
Is this really a good use of my time? Waiting by an unconscious Autobot? Just to make some use of him when he finally regains consciousness?
"Ugh..." Oh good the Autobot isn't useless.
"Oh, awake are we?" I'm not trying to hide the annoyance at how long it took the damned wrecker to regain consciousness.
"Have you noticed something missing?~" The wrecker's eyes widen, a lot more than I thought possible.
"StarScream!?"
"What Did You Do!?" Alright..I did not mean it like that.
"Me?~ I didn't do anything~" I innocently gesture towards myself.
The wrecker oh so kindly hasn't smashed the light out of me, he actually takes the, something missing, seriously.
His eyes wander around for a moment, he stiffens.
"Where'd BreakDown go?" He can use his processor! Amazing!
I clap my hands together in mock celebration, "I knew you'd notice if I gave you enough time~ Sadly BreakDown was kidnapped.."
The wrecker's face becomes one of confusion.
"By a herd of rogue government humans~" I can't imagine he'll be wise enough to ask why I didn't just stop them.
"Oh.."
Huh?
Just oh?
Nothing else?
He gets up "We're enemies."
Humorously unconvincing, this fragger. I can't just kill him, It would cause problems..
I need to stay calm..
"So your willing to let a former friend be taken and dissected by the rogue animals of this planet?~" I make sure I'm making direct eye contact.
"And I thought you Autobots were the good guys?~"
The wrecker stops.
"...You want me to save him?"
Uh yeah?
It'd be pretty inconvenient for us, all of us, if we just let those humans take our tech.
"Why wouldn't I?" Seriously, do the Autobots just assume we're somehow pure evil?
Oh, the wrecker is making the same shocked face he made when I greeted him.
"Cause your a Decepticon!"
...I survived years of war, fought government officials, slithered my way through unlikely survival, just to be..
Be discriminated against?
Dear Primus..
The Decepticon cause has failed.
My wings break the tensions when they scrape a rock I'd forgotten was behind me.
whoops.
"Whatever, it's not like he'll die or anything.." Sarcasm, a good tool indeed.
...should I contact KnockOut?
I'm going to contact KnockOut.
-KnockOut.
-StarScream?
-Aren't you on mine duty?
-I would be but a certain wrecker got himself kidnapped by a rogue herd of government humans.
-...
-He did what?
"Hey!" My conversation is so rudely interrupted.
"Whaat? can you not tell I was having a conversation?" The wrecker makes a very offensive face that I cannot quite identify.
"Are we gonna get BreakDown or what?" Oh, I thought he said no.
"We can't." Not yet.
"WHY NOT??" I flinch-FRAG
Yelling..
Why does everyone have yell?
The wrecker must have noticed, he looks laughably uncomfortable.
I sigh "Do you even know where they are?"
He drops his battle ready position, what an idiot. Who would he save if not for already made plans?
"So how would we help him if we don't know where he is?"
-StarScream!?
-I swear if you don't respond!
-I was interrupted.
-The Autobot that didn't get kidnapped had some questions.
-THE WHAT??
-...The Autobot?
-..Have you lost your mind?
-Maybe.
...
-What am I supposed to do with this information?
-Tell Megatron, watch him deny a rescue mission, stay ready for me to get him back.
-..You?
-Well I can't very well let the humans dissect him can I?
I tell BulkHead to wait while I locate the humans.
Not that I have to.
I remember where they are.
But I can't just immediately know where they took him or else I'll be a target of more than those rogue humans.
Altho I more than likely already am.
uugh..I can't say I at all like the idea.
Those little fleshy monsters prying open my metal exoskeleton, poking around in my internals..
eugh
