Just visiting 10

When the war ended Starscream didn't know what to do with himself.

He was a soldier, a killing machine and Megatron's Second in Command. But he submitted to the requirements of the Allspark and ordered his minions to do the same. Many of the soldiers protested, didn't want to give up that easily and uphold the Autobots to victory.

Then go to the Allspark and tell him

Megatron's words affected all Decepticons around him. On the one hand their lives were important to them and the other they could help build a new Cybertron. Amidst much grumbling, they decided to follow their leader. However, although Starscream had inwardly longed for peace,

I obey only me alone
I do what I want

he could much less imagine now, what he should do. This uncertainty lasted long, until one day an annoying, little Cybertronian walked into him. He was not a Seeker but a Grounder and the blue eyes showed his former status as an Autobot. Of course, Starscream was immediately disgusted, had yelled at him and strode away.

Waste of metal, how could he dare to come near him?

But as a celebrity stood in front of his quarters, everything changed. Skyfire, the scientist, the icon, the white giant with the soft eyes. He worked in the laboratories of Iacon and as it turned out in the conversation at that time, the Autobot, who overran him, was none other than the assistant of Skyfire!

Has he told him of me?
Primus, how embarrassing!

Strangely enough, however, Skyfire was not angry with him, but he offered him a job. Namely, his assistant had read earlier an article by someone, who possessed such an extensive knowledge that he could be smooth a professor in his field. When Starscream had collided with him, he remembered... that Starscream was the author.

From then on, the relationship with Mistfire developed slowly but steadily. At first it was all rather embarrassing and an unpleasant atmosphere prevailed between them. The clumsiness of the Autobot was really hard to come by.

Oh, that annoying Mistfire!

Are those my datapads on the ground?

He is really clever ... In his own strange ways.

Thank you; see you tomorrow

Why wasn't Mistfire here, today?

What do you mean? Do you have something better to do?

What are you doing? This ... WATCH OUT!

You're welcome

Does Mistfire meet someone, Skyfire?

I'm not jealous!

Stop apologizing! You're not going anywhere!
You belong here ... with me!

A chaotic partnership with ups and downs. Skyfire had observed everything from the outside but didn't interfered further. Sometimes there was his knowing smile, an indication that he saw through the whole situation from the beginning.
Over time, they had all become like a weird family. They worked well and mostly in silence, because they understood the other without words.

Sometimes Megatron visited them and would change a few phrases with Skyfire after Mistfire had bumped into him and he had received a blow on the helmet and, finally, there was a war of words with Starscream. Externally, it annoyed Starscream that his leader constantly came to him, looked at what he did, and mocked him internally. But in some ways, he thought it was flattering that the former leader of the Decepticons would only do that to him.

You can't stop the change

And suddenly he didn't show up anymore. At least not in the known distances, which all of them found oddly concerning… until Skyfire told them.

Optimus Prime and Megatron had a big quarrel. It was palpable. Apparently the brothers torn of a wall of the holy halls and both have been in a terrible state. They no longer talked to each other and the cybertronian people were afraid for a renewed war. Moreover, in recent times, there was a thief who stole parts, so that even their labs had been searched. Had this fact something to do with the controversy? Was it about the offspring and both wanted first?

But that was just idiotic.

Megatron changed lately. Was less violent, and now this mini-war

Starscream decided to do some research. Because some things in this story didn't fit. So he asked around and always got the same answer.

Before the dispute, both were with the Allspark

It seemed to get even more complicated, because now the holiness was involved, too. But Starscream didn't know where the connection might be lurking there. He reeled back memories of the time when Megatron was with them. Optimus was after him, but why?

He asks me too many questions lately

Here came the next question: What questions? It seemed to be definitely related to Megatron's change. This was one of the most difficult tasks he had to face. Because none of the Cybertronians seemed to have noticed something. They have often seen Megatron and Optimus talking, but what about they did not know.

Megatron wanted to keep a secret

This much was clear. But what? Had it to do with Allspark?

When somebody knows, then Megatron

Probably Megatron would not approve of it, when there's one more person who peppered him with questions, but why should Starscream care about that? As long as he had not solved this riddle, he couldn't build with Mistfire their own Protoform in peace.

Guys, I'm so sorry. My internet did a backroll and crashed down on me:( But at least it decided to stand up again and let me upload this chapi:)

Hope you enjoyed this chapter nonetheless! Starscream's past and his Megatron-visiting up ahead!

A little background information: Starscream and Skyfire didn't know eachother before Skyfire knocked on Stasrcreams door. Screamer heard of him. That's all.
