[Hey everybody! So, I'm going to try and give you guys more than the four planned chapters so that you guys will be busy with those for a while. I won't be updating chapters for a couple weeks after this one because I WILL be busy with the book that I'm working on]

(Chapter 8)

(Ven POV)

Me and Starscream ended up talking for a few hours and I'm not gonna lie, but this dude has major issues.

—-

I was just looking at Starscream with a slightly baffled expression. I had to actually shut him up in order to think about what he just told me about himself.

I had ended up just talking to Starscream about how I could help him get his troops to see him in a better light and to get more respect from everyone else, especially Megatron. Maybe not Megatron, but I'm making an attempt.

Starscream had just finished talking to me about how when he first joined it was to satiate his own curiosity about the Decepticons. When the war had started he had ended up staying and began working on rising in the ranks.

Starscream didn't want to rule at first, but when Megatron started to show little respect for his troops and only reserved his trust to those that were actually less than trustworthy it had triggered him into trying and failing to garner his respect. The more disrespect that was shown and thrown at Starscream the more he changed into what he is now.

Don't get me wrong, I knew about most of this stuff, but actually hearing it come from Starscream's mouth was kinda sad. I'm gonna have to take 'Make Starscream blow a gasket' off of the to-do list.

I sighed and I rubbed my head before looking up at Starscream with a look that suggested that I might have an idea that would either go perfectly well or horribly bad.

"I have an idea, but I know that you probably won't like it seeing as you are as you are now. It should help with how everyone sees you. It'll also help with your abusive problem with Megatron."

Starscream just gave me a look. I knew that he was doubtful about my claim, but I think that this will genuinely help him. I don't particularly like abuse in any way since I have some history with it.

Starscream had just opened his mouth to speak, voicing his doubtful thoughts.

"What makes you think the abuse will stop? For all I know it'll probably just make it worse."

I put my hands up in a surrendering motion, I could tell that if I didn't voice my plan to him he'll just start to go off and my ears and sleep deprived brain won't be able to handle it, especially when I really didn't want to also deal with a headache later on in the day. I still have to set up my new living space y'know.

"Hey now. I'm just trying to help you out here. Don't come at me for just trying to be a good friend to you."

I could see the hesitation on his face at the mention of me trying to be a good friend to him. I honest to god forgot that Starscream and Knockout weren't friends yet. New plan. Help Starscream and Knockout become besties. I'm even adding Breakdown in this plan because I am planning on saving his ass. Did anybody else get mad at the fact that the directors of Hasbro killed him off just because they didn't have enough money? Cause I sure as hell did.

For the next few hours I begin to tell Starscream my plan. It consisted of him being more respectful of his troops and being selfless in battle. I even advised him that if he were to save some of his troops they would begin to show more respect and loyalty. This'll also help with the fact that some of the Vehicons don't know how to fight for the life of them, but that's fine, I'll just help them out too. I love those guys. I honestly think they're cool.

When Starscream finally left my room I had to just sit there in silence for a few seconds before throwing my hands in the air and making a frustrated sound.

While me and Starscream were discussing things for those few hours I had begun to think of many things that I knew that I had to change. Number one priority was get Megatron to chill the fuck out. Second was to find a way to keep the dirty bitch under earth's crust asleep without Optimus losing his memories in the process. Third was to just save and fix shit that was just too heartbreaking to watch the first time. I could not stress enough about how heartbreaking it was to watch some of those episodes.

I also plan on adopting Predaking. Don't judge me now. That boy was only alive for a few weeks, months at most, and he already has to deal with all that shit? Naw baby. We ain't doin' dat. Nope. Nuh-uh.

When I stopped stressing I got up and I put all of my newly acquired things in the right places. I had to make sure that Soundwave had got those big ass trash cans and trash bags because I know that my lazy ass is finna make a mess.

I sighed as I checked if Soundwave also got me that generator thingy that I asked for. I needed to charge my new computer. The computer was an essential tool that I will be using in the future. I also want to log into my fanfiction accounts. I want to make sure everything is still there.

I had set everything up on my computer and I was making sure that my plans were solidified before I had a thought. What if I just train myself, better yet, ask Soundwave to teach me how to hack shit. I can't get shit done if I'm not a hacker. That's just my opinion though.

As I'm looking through my brand new computer I suddenly have a thought. Could I hack into a comm. unit? I'll have to ask later. Anyway, I'm just Going to prepare and look up how to be a hacker for dummies. This will help me out when I eventually do ask Soundwave to teach me. I'm also going to ask them to teach me about their culture, language, and all that. I know that the knowledge that I have now won't be enough for these guys. I also want to learn about their anatomy…. Don't ask.

Anyway, I just checked the time and I checked the year and when I tell you I froze, I fuckin' froze. Bro. I'm FIVE years before the series even starts. I'll be well into my early twenties when the series starts. Actually that'll be good. I'll have more advantages since I'll technically be an adult. Did I forget to mention that it's 2005 right now and the first episode happens in 2010? Yeah, I'm surprised too. I actually researched a whole lot about this specific series because I loved it so much. This was and still is my childhood bro.

I chuckled to myself, trying to distract myself as I realized that I might get hurt more than I like in the future. I mean, yeah it's war, I'm bound to get hurt, but here? I'll be in danger most of the time due to so many dangerous characters and so many explosions. A lot of explosions.

I sigh as I close my computer and I slump back into my bed, exhausted and too tired to think about near death possibilities and all that bull. I'm too young to be thinking about such stressful situations, but I'm paranoid as fuck and being paranoid is maybe, actually going to keep me alive in the future pretty much. That's actually sad. A 16 year old having to worry about whether or not I'll have to worry about my safety in the future or if I'll even be alive.

I sighed and I rolled over to my side, too tired to deal with my own emo thoughts. I just feel like going to sleep and never waking up just so I don't have to deal with the fact that I was probably sent here to fix things. Who even does that? Send a kid to a whole different world from their own and just thrust all that responsibility on their shoulders? I ain't no Atlas bro. I don't even want to be here. I was fine just where I was.

Man. All these stressful and depressing thoughts are already making me irritated. Let me go to sleep before I get mad and start talking to myself. I don't feel like being walked in on by one of the Cons and them getting weirded out by my already weird behavior.

Yeah. I really don't want to wake up tomorrow.

[So this was kinda rushed because I really just wanted to go to sleep, but I'll give you guys another chapter shortly. Like sometime near tomorrow at like at 2, 3, or, 4 in the morning. Maybe even five in the morning. Goodnight guys. Also go to sleep please. Just because I'm awake doesn't mean you guys should be awake. I'm only awake so that I could give you guys chapters and amuse you guys.]
