Chapter 3 Insider.
The next day the Autobots were trying to think of how to stop Shockwave. They still didn't know what Shockwave was up to other then manipulating the Grand Counsel. And they had to adjust to having Starscream and Rattrap on their team now.
Rattrap had proven to be as bad as Starscream said he was and kept annoying everyone. He kept snooping around and trying to see what he could find out.
"I never thought I say this but that bot makes Starscream look trustworthy." Said Smokescreen.
"Yeah talk about frightening." Joked Weeljack.
"This will take some getting use to." Added Arcee.
"Oh no here comes Wheelie please don't tell him I'm here guys." Begged Smokescreen who ran off to hide.
"Hey guys where's Smokescreen?" Asked Wheelie.
"He's around somewhere." Bulkhead told Wheelie. Then the minicon went off to look for him.
"Thanks Bulkhead." Said Smokescreen who made the mistake of saying it to soon and to loud and got the minicon's attention because he hadn't completely left yet.
"Smokescreen." Cheered Wheelie.
"Oh scrap." Groaned Smokescreen who drove of with Wheelie in tow.
Meanwhile Starscream was walking through the city and noticed he was getting some dirty looks from a lot of the mechs and femmes. He knew he deserved it for all the harm he did as a Decepticon. And wished he could undo all of it.
He knew no one on Cybertron would accept him. And he didn't blame them.
Suddenly a shot from an arm cannon flew over the seeker's head. Starscream had seen the shot coming a second before the mech had shot at him and ducked just in time to avoid having his head blown off. But the shots kept coming Starscream noticed that a whole group of Cybertronians were shooting at him and not one Decepticon among them.
Starscream just continued to dodge and ran as fast as his legs would move. Then he tried to escape by changing to his jet mode so he could fly away. Only to have his wing shot and to end up falling and the next thing he knew he was on his back looking up as his attackers closed in on him.
Starscream knew it was over and closed his optics ready for them to finish him off. But it didn't happen he looked up and saw another seeker was fighting all of them but was out numbered and now being beaten up for trying to help him.
He noticed it was a peach and yellow colored femme and she was about to be torn to scrap just for trying to save him and he wasn't going to let that happen. Starscream jump up and starting fighting them too. He couldn't let that femme pay the price for his mess. But they were both out number.
Just when it looked like they were both going to die Ultra Magnus showed up with Bulkhead and Wheeljack and chased off their attackers. Then the two seekers explained what happened.
"You probably don't want me on the team anymore." Starscream said sadly.
"Starscream you just showed you've changed by trying to help this femme." Ultra Magnus told him. "When she got the attention of your attackers you could have used that to escape but you stayed and tried to help her."
"The old me probably would have fled." Said Starscream.
"Face it your an Autobot now." Bulkhead said to the seeker.
"By the way thank you for helping me back there." Starscream told the femme.
"I just can't stand to see anyone ganged up on like that." The femme explained. "And my name is Rocketgale." "And thank you for helping me too."
"I'm Starscream." Starscream introduced himself. "And it was the least I could do since it's my fault you got into that mess."
"Why didn't you fight back at first?" Asked Rocketgale.
"Because I deserved it." Said Starscream. "I caused so much pain as a Decepticon."
"No one deserves that." Rocketgale told him."And what you did back then is over because now your a good mech."
They all talked for several hours and let Rocketgale join the Autobots. And brought her up to speed. Then they went back to base. But Ultra Magnus pulled Starscream aside.
"What is it?" Asked Starscream.
"Starscream Shockwave asked Knock Out to spy on us and He might ask you too." Ultra Magnus told him.
"Don't worry I'll refuse." Said Starscream.
"On the contrary I want you to accept." Ultra Magnus explained. "We'll give you false information to report to Shockwave while you find out as much as you can about what his plans are."
"So you want me to spy on him and pretend to spy on you." Said Starscream. "That's brilliant." "I'll do it."
"Thanks Starscream." Ultra Magnus told him. "Now we need you to betray us."
