Hello again, another chapter for you all! I finally get to write some action woot! As a side note, I absolutely hate the Michael bay Starscream so im using a mesh of TFA Starscream and G1 for this. Just imagine a slim G1 Starscream with TFA coloring.

Disclaimer: I will never own Transformers, although I wish I did. There would be a lot more robotmance involved.

" Auto-bots, transform and roll out!" Video Optimus yelled at his forces as they drove out of the ark. Static sat beside Monochrome in the security room, watching the Autobots rolling out to meet the Decepticon seeker trine closing in on the base. Most of the Auto-bots had left the Base, the Medbots, sans Ratchet, and the communication bots remained. The neutrals had opted out of this battle to assess the auto-bots in battle uninterrupted. Static was mostly interested to see how a bunch of grounders would try and take down an elite seeker trine. The warping purple one had quickly been joined by blue/black and red/black jets, the red one quickly taking the leader position of the formation. The trine looked vaguely familiar to Static, but he couldn't place them, like they were a fading memory.

The Autobots quickly met the speeding jets, Optimus and Ironhide opening fire. The shots missed spectacularly, the rest of the bots joining in. The jets weaved to and fro, dodging the laser fire. The purple one warped down and point blank shot prowl in the abdomen, just missing his spark chamber. The SIC dropped like a stone, clutching his wound. Ratchet quickly got to work on the downed bot, pot shots flying scattered around the duo. The Autobots had taken light damage and the seekers were still in the air, firing rapidly. The flying bots looked no worse for wear then when they started, they were mocking the grounders. The Autobots were fighting a losing battle, their inexperience with air combat evident. The only ones making progress were the twins, their front liner training giving them an edge.

" They are unfamiliar to fighting air opponents, the aerial bots must have in the past fought on the ground in bi-pedal mode. They are going to lose and I don't how many will live if we don't interfere." Static stated, staring pointedly at Monochrome. The femme nodded, contacting bladestorm. " Monochrome to Bladestorm." there was a pause, too long for the bots liking, on screen Jazz took a hit to the helm, his visor cracking in half and part of it falling off. " This is Bladestorm, what's the status of the battle?" Monochrome frowned, " Not good sir. The Autobots need back up or some won't make it. I suggest sending all aerial units for assistance." Another pause, On screen Ratchet took a hit to the shoulder, covering his patient from a blast. " Very well, contact Blitzwing and Static, and tell them to meet me at the entrance." Static got to his feet and walked from the Security room, nodding to Monochrome as she contacted Blitzwing. He hoped they wouldn't be to late.

Skywarp was having a blast. After making planet side with his trine mate Thundercracker, the duo had met up with their third member, Starscream, and settled in the Nemesis, where the trio had received there first orders from Megatron. Attack the Autobot base and assess their weaknesses. When they had arrived, the trine had prepared for a few wounds and evasive measures but it had proven unnecessary. The grounders seemed wary and out of their element fighting the jets circling them, and the trine was picking the cowardly faction off one by one. Skywarp took a particular pleasure at warping near the members and shooting point blank, the look on his opponents face exciting him. The trio was having such an easy time, their awareness slipped a bit and they almost missed the arrival of other aerial bots.

An SR-71 was the first to arrive, circling the trine and hemming them together. Skywarp was about to warp out and attack from behind, when the blackbird transformed and a large seeker launched himself at him, latching onto his wings and cockpit glass. Skywarp yelped and barrel rolled quickly, trying to dislodge the bot when a clawed finder dug itself into his neck, disabling his warp ability. Skywarp quickly flew towards his trine mates, who were firing towards the duo to dislodge the the bot atop him. The large seeker jerked the jets wings back, causing Skywarp to flip and his trines bullets hitting Skywarp's underside instead. A hand dug into his engines, disabling them, and clawed along his wings, causing Skywarp to spin wildly to the ground. The large seeker leapt off him as Skywarp transformed, crashing hard into the ground in front of the Autobot forces. Slowly standing, Skywarp came face to face with Ironhide's cannon. " Time for a little payback Decepticon." The cannon charged up. Skywarp gulped, " Oh slag."

Thundercracker had circled around to attempt another shot on Skywarp's attacker when a another F-22 filled his vision. The blue jet transformed quickly, rushing towards the unfamiliar jet. The tan F-22 followed suit and transformed into a familiar bot. "Blitzwing! How did you survive?!" The triple changer laughed, Random face in effect. "Oh silly seeker, you can't get rid of me so easily! Vat kind of bot do you take me for? A grounder?" Random cackled and pointed his cannons at the blue seeker. "Can you take the heat?" Fire bullets rushed from the cannons, Thundercracker quickly dodging. The seeker pointed his null lasers at the crazed triple changer and fired, the bot quickly moving. Hothead's visor took over the large Mechs face, Blitzwing rushing the seeker and latching onto the flyers arm. "Lets see how vell you fight vithout veapons!" Blitzwing ripped off the seekers null laser and tossed it aside, pulling the trapped servo behind the Mechs back. Thundercracker yelled in pain, turning up his thrusters to get away from his opponent, only succeeding in pulling his arm more. Hothead quickly pointed his cannons at the seeker and fired, the bullets quickly scorching the Mechs wing joints. Thundercracker thrashed, arm ripping free of its socket. Blitzwing let go of the now useless arm, Icy taking control. Ice quickly shot from his cannons, enveloping the seekers wings and thrusters. Thundercracker dropped like a stone, left arm flailing uselessly as he fell. He let out a gasp as he landed hard onto the desert floor. Slowly he crawled to his knees, stopping when a pair of feet filled his vision. Looking up, Bumblebee had a cannon to his helm, a large hole in his right side. A burst of static sounded before a couple of lyrics came from the bot. " Ain't no stopping us now…. Welcome to the real world." The cannon fired up, whirring slowly. " Frag."

Starscream let out a harsh yell, quickly flying to help his trine mates, before a helicopter flew directly in front of him. Swerving down to stop from crashing into the vehicle, Starscream knew he made a mistake. This was confirmed when a piercing pain dragged along his wings, the transformed helicopter above him stabbing his rotor blades into them. Starscream nosed dived, a wing almost completely severed from his body. Transforming, Starscream landed harshly on his feet, the slashed wing falling off uselessly. He pointed his Null lasers at the approaching Autobots, Prime at their front. The helicopter landed behind him. Turning to the side, Starscream quickly ran, only to be stopped by the SR-71, the bot landing in front of him claws at the ready. Skidding to a halt, he turned back, only to have the F-22 behind him, cannons pointed at his spark chamber. " No vere to run little zeeker! Come along quietly and ve might go easy on you." Starscream growled and pointed his laser at the F-22, preparing to fire. " Oh such an unwise move." The SR-71 stated before a claw dug into the red seekers helm. Starscream yelped before quickly blacking out, the pressure point in his helm cutting off power signals.

Static quickly caught the red seeker, putting stasis cuffs on the bot. Tossing him on his shoulder, the triple changer walked over to the Autobots, putting the seeker next to his trine mates. The Autobots stared at the three aerial bots in awe, Prime clearing his throat. " I thank you, if you hadn't-" Bladestorm quickly cut him off. " Its nothing but you need to teach your forces to deal with aerial bots, and quick. I almost didn't give the order to come here you know." Prime nodded and Bladestorm motioned the two next to him to fly off. The triple changers glanced at each other and shrugged. They transformed and waited for their leader. Bladestorm grunted, transformed, and the three flew off. Bumblebee's radio came to life, " That was so COOL!"

(If you think Starscream crashed to fast I only have one thing to say, there's a reason Bladestorm is the leader of the Neutrals ^.~)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The neutrals convened in the Rec. room while waiting for the Autobots to return with the prisoners. Bladestorm paced the room, a gloomy look on his face. His forces sat in various chairs and furniture around the room, waiting patiently for their leader to finish his thoughts and tell them why they had met. Rubbing his chin, Bladestorm faced his forces. " We need a new plan." The Neutrals side-glanced each other, wondering where this was going. " The Auto-bots seem too inexperienced to the ways of there opponents, you would think fighting a war would instill a need to know your enemies." the Neutrals stayed silent, the statement true. " We need to teach the auto-bots how to attack and defend against the Decepticons if we expect to have their help in resources and shelter for very long. Static?" The winged mech straightened, wings tense. " I need you to interrogate the seekers after the Auto-bots are finished. We need any information about security or their defences we can get. Use any force necessary." Static twitched, a frown under his mask. " Yes sir." Bladestorm nodded and turned to Starshatter. " You will stay with me Shatter, so we can relay the information and plan as fast as we can. We need to assess and find the weakness in the Decepticons to begin a plan to take down their earth forces. After we have found a sound plan, we will train the Autobots in Neutral warfare and use their forces to drive the Decepticons from earth."

The Neutrals nodded, giving various confirmations of understanding. Bladestorm grunted, walking to the door, " They've arrived, lets go." The Neutrals left the Rec. room, going their separate ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Static walked slowly down the brig corridor, stooped low to fit in the tight space. He had been stationed to fix the seekers so they survived long enough to satisfy the Auto-bots needs for information, as he was the only one who knew how to reverse the red seekers forced stasis. Static had just reached the seekers level when he heard hushed voices. Creeping along the hallway as quietly as he could, static tried to catch the voices.

" ….. we going…. Thundercracker? Those ….. Autobots… do to us." there was a pause before a different voice came. " Skywarp, why haven't you…. Warped us out?" There was a growl as Static hit the corner before the seekers cell. " I told you! That SR-71 did something to it, I cant get my warping to work! No ones ever done that before!" there was a thump and a small crack. " What do you want me to do about it Skywarp? I'm not a medic! Starscream is still out and that stupid Autobot medic will be coming any minute to fiddle with us and try to find out secrets like every time Starscream gets us caught!" there was another pause and shuffling could be heard in the cell. " You ever think it could have been different?" There was a grunt in answer. " What are you talking about?" A lengthy pause this time, broken only by shuffling and the occasional clang. " Like, if Skyfire had never disappeared, do you ever think Starscream would have chosen different?" Static started, why was the Name Skyfire so familiar. " yes, its very possible." the cell was silent for some time. Static felt it safe to draw his attention away for now.

Starshatter? There was a pause. Yes my brother? Did you find anything out yet? Static frowned, unsure if he should ask. Maybe, does the name Skyfire mean anything to you? Starshatter sent a questioning pulse along the bond, before a tentive answer came though. You mean that quarine member who disappeared on his final exam and never made it back in your year? Static gasped, the memories rushing back. That was why they looked familiar! He graduated with the trine in the next cell over. If fact, if he remembered right, he was the reason they were still a trine and not a pair. Static had helped direct the errant Starscream on their final exam, who was acting delirious and was panicking. The academy had found out later that Starscream had seen his qaurine member veer of course and disappear in a backwater galaxy.

An idea clicked into Static processor, a smirk appeared beneath his mask. Standing straight, Static walked slowly to the Trines Cell. The blue and purple seekers inside quickly backed away from the door as the large Medic stopped before it. Static quickly unlocked the cell and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He had no fear, the trines weapons had long ago been disabled. Static kneeled beside the still unconscious seeker, the other two watching him like a hawk. Jabbing a finger into the red neck, he twisted his servo. The seeker suddenly gasped and prang to life, jerking up and slamming himself into Static arm. Groaning, Starscream rolled and rubbed his helm, sitting up. The seeker gasped at seeing the Triple changer so close and quickly backed up into a wall. The Medic let out a sad noise, tuting. "Starscream, Starscream. Have you forgotten me already? I'm hurt." The seeker squinted at him.

" Do I know you?" Static laughed, a harsh sounding one. " I would hope so, I saved your aft during your final exam. If I hadn't stepped in you'd still be roaming aimlessly into space with a crazed look on your face. Not that its any different from now." Starscream stood and racked his eyes over Static, his mouth gaping. Thundercracker and Skywarp looked at each other and shrugged, both utterly confused.

" Static?" The triple changer grinned beneath his mask. Hook, line, and sinker. " The one and only."
