Let's see this plan...

Starscream was bound quite effectively when not in his killer mode, seeing as he was back to his normal strength and speed. They had fed him after Squeezeplay to make him more controllable so he could be put in another cage specially built for his killer stature.

Forcibly, he was moved into a stronger cage recently built to hopefully accommodate his incredible strength, however, Soundwave still doubted it, even though Megatron was blind-happy in his own glory. Not getting rid of this mess while he had the chance was going to be his undoing.

The seeker couldn't even stand up straight, being the cell was so short. He pointedly stared at Soundwave, who was overseeing the whole thing, silently promising with every ounce of will that he had, that he would kill them for this.

When Starscream was secure, and was imprisoned well enough he couldn't escape, no matter what, he was starved of his unnatural feedings once again. After one half deca-cycle, Starscream transformed into the monster again.

Megatron, annoyed at the noise Starscream was making, had a better idea, as he was getting tired of Starscream yelling at him. He had the perfect mech in mind and sent for him to be brought in, though not to be Starscream's next meal.

When the mech arrived and got a glimpse of the monster on the other side of the cage, he unconsciously moved against the further wall. "Wh-what is that?"

"Fangry. Good of you to show…" he noted and then pointed, "That is my newest weapon,"

"What?" Fangry asked confused and scared. "Who is it?" That thing in the cage looked nothing like the Starscream he knew.

"I call him a Terrorcon. It's the one everyone has been looking for," Megatron answered, "the killer that took down Thundercracker."

"What?" Fangry looked between Megatron and the monster in the cage, "Wh-what is it you want me to do?" he slid further away as the creature lunged at the bars.

Megatron watched Starscream as he paced, becoming more and more angry at Fangry's presence and the fact he couldn't get to him. He grinned at him darkly and then turned for the other mech. "You are to stand in here, nothing more."

"Wh-why?"

"He needs to remain… tempted."

"Tempted? Tempted by what?"

"Your live spark,"

"What?! What do you mean?"

"I recommend you keep your distance if you want to live," the leader advised, "If the creature gets a hold of you, you're through."

"N-no advice needed, I am not going anywhere near that thing!"

Fangry was made to sit on the outside of the cage after Starscream had turned into the monster to agitate him. He stared at the creature for a long time, trying to wrap his mind around this.

"So, it's you?" the mech tried to ask, referring to the killer.

"Come over here," Starscream called, trying to see if the mech was stupid enough to do so.

"So, you speak? What is your name?"

"I will tell you if you come closer. I don't want to just blurt it out, it's a secret," Starscream told him.

The mech knew better than to approach the cage, in fear for his life. He was content to sit back and observe. It seemed like this place would hold him – err, it. He could see a resemblance to someone he knew, but it wasn't enough of one to pin it directly to anyone. "Where did Megatron find you?"

"That's a secret too."

The more upset it became because of his presence, the more scared Fangry got. It hissed, tried everything to tempt him closer. It growled when he refused and struck out several times at the bars to get at him. The creature frightened him even more when using his brute strength, a bar on his cell started to move. "Uh… uh guys! It's moving the bars!" he yelled to anyone who would listen.

The racket Starscream was making because of Fangry was upsetting those that could hear him, getting question he didn't want to answer. Starscream was loud and becoming uncontrollable.

"Hook, sedate the beast." Megatron ordered. "Don't let it touch you."

Hook, the ever so obedient, did as ordered. He gathered some sedatives and headed for where the creature was. He'd heard about it but didn't ask any questions. He also knew nothing about it because of his lack of interest. He went to the cage and sized the creature up, trying to figure a way to sedate it. He could shoot it… However, he didn't think he'd need to. He was strong, and din't believe for a second this thing was stronger.

Being a stronger mech, Hook's appearance annoyed Starscream even more, he hissed at him. Lunged at him, but Hook kept his distance.

The Constructicon had a plan. He'd put the special darts in a subspace in his wrist. The next time the creature reached out of the bars, Hook grabbed its arm, pulled with all of his might, pinning the creature to the bars and slammed the darts into its energon lines. He did notice the color of its energon. Was this Dark Energon in this thing?

He'd jumped back and watched the creature. It reached for the darts and ripped them out of its arm and threw them to the side, glaring at Hook. It didn't slow down in the slightest. It didn't even look like it'd been sedated.

"Slag," Hook said in defeat. That wasn't the strongest he'd had. He reached for the more potent ones, taking two of the six he had thinking they would work, as their dose was enough to kill a mech.

He slowly approached the bars again, and this time, when the beast reached out, it didn't reach in such a way that Hook could grab it again. So, Hook had to get creative. He lifted his arm and shot the thing with a grappling hook and reeled on it until the beast's arm was sticking out where he could get it. He reached with the darts and went to administer them.

Starscream was too smart for this, but he let the mech think he had the upper hand. When Hook got close enough, Starscream latched onto him, and his grip tightened to the point he wasn't getting free. He used his other arm to wrap around Hook's neck and hold him steady. "Stupid," he hissed.

Hook fought against the creature as it pulled him closer, already reaching with his other hand for his chest. "Slag, no!" he cried, realizing this thing was overpowering him with incredible ease. Using his free arm, he reached for other, injectors. He had to hold back a cry in pain as Starscream began tearing into his chest. Hook slammed the rest of those sedatives to him as he did, hoping Starscream would weaken enough he could escape. Luckily, the sedatives worked enough to loosen Starscream's grip, and he backed up quickly, nearly losing his own life.

Megatron came in a few moments later, "I told you not to get close."

"What is that thing! It nearly killed me!"

"Oh? You didn't know did you?" Megatron grinned and looked back at the Fallen. "That is the Fallen, also known as Starscream."

"Starscream?!" Hook asked in surprise.

They'd used a warship to carry Starscream's cage to its destination, where they were to launch their first assault with the Fallen. When it had settled to a hover, Starscream was dropped out of the ship, cage and all. A catch release allowed the door to swing open and Starscream tumbled out. Starscream quickly caught himself midair and instinctively started hunting for his unique sustenance, finding there was a lot to be had.

The mech was ravenous. He'd never felt a hunger like this, and it was driving him mad. The most difficult part was finding a suitable target. He'd never had to choose between a bunch like this. He was in a state of confusion for a short moment, trying to find a good target. His patience being lost, he headed for the closest one, being another flier. His extreme speed was no match for the one he started chasing. Unfortunately, it was another Decepticon.

He got them before he finally turned on the Autobots. Having taken out that Spark, Starscream's hunger was more insatiable than first believed. While one would have been sufficient, now it wasn't. He was starving and would not stop until his hunger was satisfied. He went for another that was close; A smaller Autobot. The mech was below him and hadn't seen him coming. He latched onto him, and they tumbled. Before they stopped, Starscream had his prize, and it still wasn't enough.

Optimus Prime and a few others who were expecting the creature to arrive, made an attempt for a counter offensive. They did not have all the details that Soundwave did on Starscream's abilities, so they were already at a disadvantage. They'd fired on him at a distance, but the seeker kept attacking.

They'd even used something equivalent to his Null Ray, which should have rendered his body paralyzed, but he kept going, taking out a third Autobot and still going for more. This time his optics fell on Optimus himself, having made himself a target by being there.

Starscream charged at him with a hate-filled screech. Optimus was barely able to deflect the seeker when he plowed into him, and he tumbled about on the ground. Quickly he got to his feet, looking for Starscream. He saw him a distance away. When the seeker stood up again, he went to go after Optimus again, but another Autobot who'd seen him speared the seeker.

"No!" Optimus cried, hearing the shriek of the one who had protected Optimus. Starscream wasted no time tearing into him as well. He was slowing down though, however no one was taking the chance. The Autobots, not having much of a chance or choice, retreated.

Megatron watched from live feed sent from Laserbeak who'd been there to capture what he did. He was unhappy about Starscream attacking his own troops, but his displeasure soon turned the opposite when he witnessed the Seeker go after Autobots – especially Optimus.

Finally, Starscream dropped. He'd used up all of his normal stamina to go after all of those he'd killed. He began reverting, and this time passed out from the exertion. He never felt the jab if the sedative, that worked on him now that he wasn't going crazy with power. He also never felt himself being picked up and taken away.

Starscream was out of it the entire trip back to Kaon. He'd been sedated on the warship and dragged back into the brig. When he came-to, he found he was shackled once again and back in the cell he dreaded. When he moved, the chains scraped and clanked on the floor. He wasn't as tightly bound this time. Megatron was standing not far off watching him and waiting for him to wake.

Seeing the optics on the Seeker come to life, Megatron said, "That was very good, Starscream. You even took out Jetfire. How long have you two been going round and round?" he praised.

The seeker looked up and sadness washed over his features. He'd known what he'd done and the fact Megatron was smiling so sadistically about it made him feel even worse. "Stop it." Starscream growled.

"Not a chance. I've decided that since you are so good at this, your next target will be Tyger Pax. You did so well this time, perhaps you should be starved longer."

What? That area had a lot of youth there! "No! I won't!"

"You can't stop, Starscream. And you won't stop as long as I have you."

"You can't make me! I won't do this for you! I will get out of here!"

"Oh, you will do this, Starscream…" Megatron argued. Then, a glorious thought occurred to him and then he smirked and got right next to his audio, whispering, "because, if you do not, I will feed Skywarp to you. You've already had the taste of one of your wing-mates…"

Starscream pulled away to see the look in Starscream's optics. They were wide in horror. 'No…' Nothing could have struck the Seeker harder. He knew Megatron would do it too, and he couldn't control himself. He didn't want to risk Skywarp suffering at his own hands like Thundercracker had nor did he want to have that etched into his memory – and this time, it would. He was lucky to have not remembered his encounter with Thundercracker. Losing all resolve, Starscream frowned and backed down. "Very well, Megatron, you win." he resigned.

"I thought that would do it," the tyrant grinned at him.

Starscream remained in the cell. He had no fight to escape, because if he did and he wasn't changed, they would catch him, or they'd kill Skywarp anyways. He would let them keep him here for a while longer… at least until he could figure a way to save Skywarp first.

It soon became common knowledge that Megatron had a Terrorcon he called The Fallen and those that knew about this unbeatable weapon knew to be scared. Most considered it to have been a name thing, never giving it a second thought that he was referring to the curse itself, seeing as this weapon of his was so treacherous that there was no better name. There were a few, however, that knew the truth.

Megatron is disgusting...
