On the Nemesis..
"Blast that slagger Hook." Megatron said with a devilish grin on his faceplate and his second in command Starscream by his side. "Its good to see you getting back to your old self Master, before you know it you'll be good as new!" Starscream said triumphantly but soon Megatron's grin turned back to a frown.
Like it had been since Amber was taken. He folded his hands behind his back and walked back to his throne. Soundwave, Megatron's closest and most trusted friend, walked over and flicked Starscream on the side of the helm.
"Oww!" Starscream said looking at Soundwave with an angered look on his face. "I know I know this is my fault but you must believe me Soundwave I only want what's best for our master." Starscream said with his usual evil grin and sarcasm in his voice.
Soundwave simply ignored his ignorance and walked over to Megatron waiting for a command. Starscream followed as well. "What would you like us to do now my Lord?" Starscream asked being sure to keep his distance in case Megatron lashed out at him.
"Set out a search party and see what you find in the remains of Hook's ship. Meanwhile, Soundwave I want you to scan the planet for Hook's life signal and if there's any energon on the planet. Afterward we will return to Cybertron, there are still weapons and powerful artifacts remaining on the planet that could be useful to our cause."
Both Soundwave and Starscrem nodded in agreement and went there ways. Megatron sighed when they left and looked out the nearby window at the burning ship and the blue planet. "How Amber would love this planet." He said to himself letting a small smile cross his faceplate but not for long, his usual frown returned.
On the Surface...
The pod landed with a hard thud. Both Amber and Hook hit their helms and groaned. Hook got up slowly and opened the hatch the pod and the warm sun soon filled the pod. Amber rose quickly and exited the pod, all around her there were tall green and brown towers and she could hear the sounds of animals all around.
"We have to move." Hook said grabbing Amber's wrist tightly and throwing her in front of him then transforming his hand in a blaster and pointing it at her, "Move" he said sternly with a black expression on his face. Amber looked back at him and began walking in the direction of a cave.
As they were walking there was a sudden explosion, she turned around hopping that she would see either her father or Megatron but it was just Hook. She looked at him in confusion and he looked at her and smiled, " Gotta make sure that bucket head of a sparkmate of yours doesn't follow us, can't loose my big investments now can I?"
Amber growled at him but didn't say a word and turned around and continued walking toward the cave. Once inside and walking someway down the tunnels they were in a secret base. There was a cell at one end with a berth inside, a descent amount of energon and a very old ground bridge.
"Home sweet home." Hook said in a devilish tone as he thrust his blaster into Amber's back so she stumbled in the direction of the cell. Amber obeyed and walked into the cell, the cell door slamming shut and locking behind her.
The only light that radiated inside her cell came from a dying out lamp. She looked through the bars at Hook. She could easily make out his white, black and green form messing around on a computer console. "Don't get your hopes up about anyone finding you down here, the mineral compositions block our energy signatures." He said with his typical rough laugh.
Amber backed away from the bars and laid down on the cold damp berth. She felt the tears rolling down her faceplate as she curled into a ball, she slowly stroked the slight bumb in her abdomen she could sense her sparkling was growing strongly, she couldn't help but smile a little.
Back on the Nemesis...
"The search through the remains of the ship were practically useless, all but one thing" Starscream thought to himself.
A T-cog. But not just any T-cog, the T-cog of Amber.
Starscream quickly devised a plan. If he were to find and kill the bounty Hunter Hook before Megatron he could kill Amber as well and say she died in the line of duty, "Its perfect!" He said to himself breaking into a devilish laughter.
He quickly walked down the corridors of the Nemesis toward his quarters. Once there he hid his the T-cog. Then over the intercom, Megatron's voice came on, "troops prepare space bridge travel."
Starscream sighed, he could easily get rid of the T-cog once on Cybertron.
