DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Transformers Prime and all its characters. I only own Lunarstreak, Vertigo and the temporary OC, Steelblader.

The last few weeks were a little off. Since Starscream left the Decepticons, Knockout and Arachnid had taken his place. But no matter the change, Soundwave continued to stand in his same spot every day unless told to move by a superior officer. I found it kinda creepy considering the fact that you had no idea what the hell he was looking at.

I looked in the mirror Knockout had placed in our room when he got aboard the Nemisis. My silver abdominal was no longer light like my father's. In fact they were darker. Almost a dark chrome. My optics had switched from the Prime family sapphire to a deep ruby with a snake like pupil that was a hair lighter than my 'irises' and in the form of a slit.

When I looked to where the Prime insignia used to be, I would see the symbol Megatron burned onto me. I was surprised that it covered the entire insignia with a wreathe base bending upward with dual cybertronian guns above it crossed under the original Decepticon symbol. The unique symbol looked like brushed pewter and was located right above my left front wheel when I transformed. Unfortunately when I did, you could still see the Prime insignia above my left headlight. I'm not sure how it ended up that way.

The newly updated communications link became static before Megatron's haunting voice entered my right audio. He sounded pissed, but I've always been able to narrowly avoid getting his anger taken out on me.

"Lunarstreak. Knockout and Breakdown's mission to get the cylinder has failed. The knowledge contained in it's core was discharged into the mind of Bulkhead."

"What is it you wish me to do, my lord?"

"There was a femme protecting Bulkhead when the Autobots were retreating. Soundwave confirmed her as your 'replacement'. Find her and terminate her immediately." My optics widened. They found a replacement? I knew my father was desprate but frag it all. No one replaces me. I kept my cool.

"As you command, lord Megatron."

I turned off my com and set off for the exit without a word, noticing Megatron exit through the hanger with Aerial cons on his heel. I payed no mind to it and set coordinates for the ground bridge before going through it and leaving the Nemesis to find this 'replacement' of mine.

-Time Change-

I had turned on my com to both bot and con frequencies as I hid behind a building, hearing all of the traffic and pinpointing my target.

"Steelblader. Bulkhead and Miko are missing. Find them at once." My father's familiar voice ordered over the com link. "We will provide back up when we are finished with things here."

I chuckled and turned on my engines. Knockout had said she was a Cadillac CTSV. Not too hard to find. They stick out like a sore thumb.

I pulled out from behind the building when I saw the caddie speed past, following her and tapping her rear bumper causing her to spin out of control and hit a tree. She growled and transformed after I did.

"Lunarstreak... I heard a great deal about you." Her voice was laced with venom that she did not have and I chuckled at her threatening voice. "So what happened? Become the Cons' sexual relief?"

I growled and shot a hand to her throat, my claws wrapped around it as they dug into her neck. She looked at me with fear in her optics. I enjoyed it to the fullest and threw her into a wall, creating a whole and revealing my father with the rest of the Bots. I payed no mind to them as I watched her point a gun at me and shoot.

Distracted by the round shot at me, I jumped out of the way and brought out my own rifles. She had disappeared, hiding in the mesh of muscle cars.

"Here caddy caddy caddy caddy caddy." I kept my rifles out, finding a pit of her paint next to a large GMC monster truck. I chuckled and turned the corner, finding her as a sadistic eeriness loomed over me. My fangs had gotten longer and my voice became accented with a viperish feel. She backed up on all fours.

"N-no... Please... Don't kill me!" I purred at her cries of mercy and neared her, the Bots watching me with widened optics and my father witnessing in disbelief. "I'll do anything! Please spare me!"

"Sorry. I ran out of mercy the minute I was given this symbol." I gestured to where the unique Decepticon symbol replaced the Prime insignia and let her take it in before she tried to run. I pinned her down with a single foot and pressed, making her whimper as she muttered the words 'Please don't kill me'. I aimed a gun at her spark. "Too late."

With a loud scream from her dying vocals, I took the shot without hesitation as Megatron had instructed and kicked the body out of my way, glaring at my father with my arms spread out wide after putting the rifles away, chuckling menacingly.

"LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE CREATED, OPTIMUS PRIME! YOU NO LONGER HAVE A DAUGHTER TO PROTECT AND CALL YOUR OWN! YOU HAVE CREATED AN UNSTOPPABLE MONSTER BENT ON DESTRUCTION!" I yelled out my prelude as if it were my introduction, clapping being heard behind me as the bots took their battle positions.

"Bravo, Lunarstreak!" Megatron's voice rang out in complement. "Excellent tie separation! You are now a full fledged Decepticon."

I waited for my next order, putting down my arms as my dark ruby optics stared ominously at the Autobots, mainly looking at my father as I smiled and hissed. Megatron laughed his evil laugh. "Come, my child. We are leaving."

Sorry for the late update. I've been a bit busy of late. I know it seems a little rushed at the end, but I got to the Time Change and I stopped to work a little. Let me know how you liked it!
