To be like them

Ch 5

"This can not be happening." Said Sam as he shook his head and put his hands behind his head in pure shock. He looked at Starscream. "What the hell man!?" he demanded pointing at the giant ship beside him. "You just… freaking kid napped me!!"

Starscream rolled his eyes. "Humans all ways state the obvious."

"You kidnapped me! That's like a felony!"

He shrugged. "It's to my benefit. Come human this desert heat probably isn't good for you." He said nodding to the ship.

Sam threw up his hands and yelled. "Do you realize what you have done!? Optimus is like going to kill you like five times over, my parents are like going to… freak out and did I mention that KIDNAPPING IS A CRIME!"

He sighed.

"Screamer do you want me to squish the human?" asked Skywarp.

Sam's eyes widened with panic as he moved as far as he could away from the purple mech.

"That will not be necessary Warp." He said turning and walking towards the ship. "Come on Sam or I will let them kill you."

Sam looked at the two mechs and ran off after Starscream. "Wait! Please wait!"

"I knew you'd change your mind." He said not stopping or slowing down for the teen.

Sam heard behind him the two mechs following along talking to themselves. "So these guys are they your friends?" he asked after he finally caught up to the quicker man.

"They are my wingmates."

"Wingmates?" he paused. "You mean your group of warriors, right?"

"Yes…" he looked back at them. "Though some times they still act like sparklings." he sighed noticing that the two exchanging a few playful punches back and forth. He paused as the massive door to the ship slowly opened to let them in.

"Whoa." Sam whispered as he watched the mighty door open.

Starscream walked in the ship with Sam following him and behind the two was Thundercracker and Skywarp.

"Starscream." stated a cold flat voice.

Sam gasped as he soon noticed the blue mech who 'greeted' them. "Another Decepticon, how many are of you guys are there on Earth?" he asked in a hushed tone.

Starscream ignored the teen and said. "Soundwave long time no see."

"Cut the slag Starscream." the blue mech looked right at Sam. "Why is that human here?"

"That human has a name." mumbled Sam

"That human is here as a bargaining chip to the Autobots." he held out his arms. "As you can see I am not my normal self and given the fact their equipment is still functioning I believe they can help me."

"I do not believe that this was your original plan."

"Plan what plan?" asked Sam becoming worried.

He waved his hand. "Some things are done better with out plans." though there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Starscream your plans all ways include lying and changing things to get your way." he lifted up his hand and charged up his gun. "Lying is not a wise choice."

He gasped but before he could say anything Sam yelled. "Wait!" he ran in front of Starscream. "You can't kill him."

He lowered his gun a bit. "Human interference is not a factor either. Termination will be immediate."

"NO! No termination, no none of that shit… slag whatever you call it. This man or uh mech is your guys' leader right?"

"Starscream's leadership was never officially approved."

"Exactly you can't off your leader…" he paused realizing what the mech just said. "Wait he's not your leader I thought…" he looked at Starscream who simply shrugged.

"He was acting leader in Megatron's absence the first time this time I am the acting leader till Megatron's return."

Sam not knowing what exactly Starscream had done to his fellow Decepticons to lose his position among them decided to say something on the situation. "I have news for you then…was it Soundwave? Megatron is dead er offline."

"How do you know this?"

"Because I did it, I killed Megatron!" he announced proudly. He heard the three Decpticons present gasp.

Soundwave raised his weapon to the teen. "You human killed our mighty leader?" he demanded.

"Oh shit!" yelled Sam fear stricken once again.

"How can a mere human kill the mighty Megatron?"

"The All Spark." he said in a lower voice trying to calm the situation. "I put in his spark it over loaded him and destroyed his spark."

Sam was surprised when Soundwave lowered his weapon.

"The story matches Starscream's however how are we to know that he didn't implant this idea in your mind."

"You don't believe me?" asked Sam sounding annoyed. "Great." he said throwing up his hands realizing that things weren't going his way. "What do you need to believe me? Megatron's rusted body!" he exclaimed. "Your leader is dead. D-E-A-D."

"You know where his body is?"

"Well…" he paused.

"The human is lying, the human must be taken off line." he said raising his guns again.

"Wait!" yelled Sam.

"Why?"

"I can help you. I can get you supplies or whatever you want."

Soundwave paused lowered his weapon once again. "You human will help us defeat the Autobots."

"What? I- I can't do that. Look I said I'd help you with supplies not kill my friends."

"Agree or die those are your choices human."

"I- I agree." he said weakly feeling very defeated.

Soundwave nodded and turned away from them. "There is still work that needs to be done before we can plan our attack, I leave the human in your care for now." he said as he walked into a nearby room.

Sam sighed the situation was looking very dark, he was at the Decepticon base and he didn't even know exactly where it was even at, the Autobots didn't even know what had even happened to him, and on top of all that he had agreed to kill his own friends just to save himself.

Sam's broke away from his thoughts when he soon noticed that Starscream was walking away from the group. "Hey!" he yelled following him.

"You're following me." he stated coldly with a bit of amusement.

"What you think you can just leave me here with them." he said pointing back to the two seekers who where conversing with themselves.

He laughed saying. "You actually trust me? Me the treacherous of all the Decepticons?"

"I don't really have much of a choice do I? After all you were the one who brought me here leaving me with very few options." he said rage growing in his voice as he continued to follow him.

"Whatever." he said shrugging.

"Well what is this supposed plan that Soundwave was talking about? Is it the whole 'bring the human here so we can get him to kill the Autobots plan'?"

Starscream was getting quite annoyed with the boy's many questions. He turned around to face the teen. "Listen human." he said coldly. "Plans are on a as you humans call it 'need to know bases' and you don't need to know. Are we clear?"

"Great!" he yelled throwing his hands up in the air again in frustration "First you kidnap me, then that whole thing with Soundwave happened, and now you won't even tell me why you brought me here!"

Sam soon felt the optics of the other two Seekers focus their optics on him after he finished that sentence. He thought for sure his life was going met a cold horrible end but instead Starscream began to laugh at him. A very cold uncaring laugh as he began to say.

"Don't waste your time on the human." he laughed coldly waving his hands to signal he wanted no harm done to Sam. "You think yelling at me will get your way?"

Before Sam could answer Starscream continued.

"Raising your voice may scare a child or help you get your way with your parental units but it will not work on me, Sam." He said turning around to continue his walk to where ever it was he was going. "If you want you can leave. However I don't recommend it, after all it's a long walk to America from here." he finished laughing almost sadistically as he began to walk away.

An overwhelming feeling of dread washed over Sam as he let out a defeated sigh when he heard one of the Seekers say.

"Don't worry about it human. Starscream hardly ever lets us in on his plans." said Skywarp who walked closer to him.

Sam didn't reply instead he looked wide eyed at the two mechs.

Skywarp held ups his hands to show he meant no harm. "Starscream ordered us not to hurt you." he lowered his hands. "Organics are not as gross as I thought they would be. What do you think TC?" he asked looking to the blue mech.

"One lubricated on my foot." he grumbled.

The purple mech flinched. "Ewww a human lubricated on you?" he asked looking at Sam as if he was the guilty party.

"It was Mojo I had nothing to do with it!" he yelped in defense.

"It was the… Mojo?"

"It was a dog Warp. Though it looked like a rat like creature." said Thundercracker.

"What's a dog?" asked Skywarp.

"A dog is a…dog, Warp."

"You don't know what a dog is either do you, TC?"

He looked away not saying anything.

Sam decided to get their attention. "Hey umm… can I get a tour of the base. After all I might be here a while."

They looked at each other.

"Well Warp? Can he get a tour?"

"I guess he can, TC." he said folding his arms.

"Get going then."

"I'm not taking him."

"Well I'm not either."

The two began to argue, Sam was beginning to wonder if they argued like this often.

"Hey…" he said trying to get their attention again.

"Well I'm older than you." said Thundercracker.

"Only by a few cycles."

"I'm still older than you though."

"Well Starscream is older than both of us."

"What kind of argument is that?"

"A good one!"

"Guys!" yelled Sam. The two finally looked at him. "Why don't both of you give me a tour."

"The human has a good idea, Warp."

"Oh so your listening to humans now TC?" Asked Skywarp

"What kind of argument is that?" he asked again trying to settle this once and for all.

He paused. "Yeah well you're just jealous that I can argue better than you."

Sam sighed as he mumbled. "Oh my God." as he shook his head getting annoyed with the two's fighting.

"Jealous? A protoform can argue better than you, Warp."

"Well I'm better looking."

Sam decided to try to stop them again before a real fight broke out. "All I want is a tour, please!" he yelled.

"How about we pick this argument up later." said Thundercracker.

"Fine by me." said Skywarp who mumbled afterwards. "I'm still better looking than you."
