CHAPTER FIVE
Starscream's Challenge
***
Meg: A poll will be approaching soon. You'll all see what it's about…also, I'm going to see Transformers 2 Revenge Of The Fallen tomorrow.
Emma: Awesomeness!! With K-Chan and May-Chama?
Meg: Yup!!

Starscream's P.O.V:
Megatron faced me, with something of fury burning in his eyes. "HOW IN PRIMUS' NAME COULD YOU FAIL TO BRING ME THE HUMAN FEMALE EMMA!!??" He shouted.
"I-I won't fail you again, next time I will kill anyone who tries to stop me…" I replied. I couldn't tell him what had happened, or else he'd kill me.
"Everything was fine," Megatron aid acidly. "You had the other human female as bait, and you had the perfect chance to take Emma before the others showed up – why didn't you!?"
"I…I don't know, sir…"
"Soundwave…there is something Starscream is not telling us…" Megatron suddenly said, and my spark seemed to stop beating. Soundwave was going to read my mind…and then it would be all over.
"No, it's…" I began, but Lugnut and Blitzwing held me back.
"Sir, I believe that Starscream has found his spark mate." Soundwave said in his monotonous voice.
Nobody said anything.
Then, Megatron looked at me. "So?"
"His spark mate is…the human female you so greatly desire. Emma."
Megatron's head snapped up, and the burning fury in his eyes grew. I knew why. If Emma was my spark mate, then that meant that she had the other half of my spark. If my spark was to become whole, then Megatron would not…but he wanted the spark that Emma had, the powerful burning core of the All-Spark.
I couldn't let him get it. It was mine! My spark must become whole!
But…now, because of that fleshling, my dreams of becoming leader of the Decepticons were shattered. If I went against Megatron's orders, then I would be considered a traitor.
But…every Cybotronians dream in life is to find their spark mate, their goal is to complete their spark.
The fact that the human Emma had the most powerful spark in all of history was just an added bonus.
My optics narrowed as I considered my choices. I could renounce any claim I had over the female and, when she was captured, surrender her to Megatron.
Or, I could fight Megatron, and either destroy him, or go down fighting.
Any way I looked at it, I was in for one hell of a battle.
I looked at Megatron, and made my decision.
I was in for the battle of my life.

Nobody's P.O.V:
Three hours later, Megatron looked down at the shattered remains of his once proud seeker, now a traitor, who had gotten what was coming to him.
"Let that be a lesson to you all!" Megatron shouted, as the other Decepticons, including Blitzwing, Lugnut, Barricade and Soundwave, watched in silence. The battle had been long and hard, but Megatron had finally managed to put Starscream offline – permanently.
Megatron smiled then. Nothing would stand in his way of being the most powerful being in the entire universe. Nothing would get between him and the core of the All-Spark, more powerful then the outer-rim of the cube. The fact that the core was in the tiny body of some human was irrelevant to Megatron.
There were ways and means of dealing with such things.
Many ways and means.
Smiling, Megatron left behind the scene of destruction, followed by the rest of his faithful subjects.
*
Down in the wreckage, where the once proud seeker now lay destroyed, there was a small thumping sound that could be heard if you really listened.
Then, there was a silence.
Slowly, Starscream opened one red optic, and then the other one.
He smiled.

Meg: Okay, another short chapter, but I have to get off of the computer in twenty minutes, and time doesn't grow on trees you know! So, umm, there's another OC I'm introducing soon, belonging to Lee-Aeront…
Emma: Ooh, let me say it!
Zikya: No, I'm gonna say it!
Both: Her name is Andrea 'Andy', aka – Backdraft!
Bianca: Another Autobot?
Meg: Umm…sort of…
