Somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

Soaring above the clouds and the vast blue ocean was the Nemesis, Inside the ship stood still Starscream temporary leader of the Decepticons,Starscream stood at the bridge of the ship with a stoic blank expression on his face, the encounter with Paddles happened a week ago he was still feeling the after effects of the event,Starscream is embarrassed to say he has PTSD, an Autobot gave him Ptsd. The events still replay in his memory banks like a video...

Flashback

"Ok this is getting out of hand.,why did you bring me here?"Knockout asked "quit you whining Knockout and Argh!"Starscream exclaimed as he felt himself being knocked back by something big and powerful, Knockout watched as this mysterious large creature bulldozed through the group and snatched one vehicon in it's jaws disappearing into the darkness. "Ok that's it I'm out!"Knockout exclaimed in absolute terror trying to look for away out "don't you dare,Hold fast decepticons!"Starscream ordered as he stood up just in time to see a tail coming out of the darkness wacking a couple of vehicon into each other,and then a mechanical Elasmosaurus dashed out of the dark roaring and snatched up another vehicon,Starscream stared at the beast in awe as he never seen something like it before "Is that a Predacon?!"Knockout asked in growing fear "What Predacons swims?"Breakdown asked looking for the beast "whatever it is, it can die just like... "Starcream was knocked to the ground by a thrown vehicon, the others opened fired franticly into the dark trying to hit something.

Breakdown looked around and saw glowing eyes coming up on the right "Look out!"he shouted as the beast burst out and chomp down on a vehicon's head and tail whipped another and bit down on another vehicle's leg and swam into the darkness taking the helpless decepticon with it, Breakdown prepared his rocket launcher to take down the creature. Breakdown waited for a target if he fired into the dark and he didn't hit a thing he would be in deep trouble "Come on come on."Breakdown muttered looking around for anything "We're going to die down here."Knockout whimpered "silence you're distracting me."Starscream snapped pushing knockout back, everyone kept their optics in front of them staring into the dark waiting for the beast.

As they kept looking forward they didn't see the angry glowing eyes slowly coming up right behind them growling softly.

Bumblebee buzzed in sheer alarm as he saw the beast coming towards them, "Scrap."Starscream said as the beast growled approaching them with an alarming speed Starscream shoved Arcee to the ground as he and Breakdown ran to the left tunnel "Aww frag it's coming after us!"breakdown exclaimed looking back at the creature who swam after them growling Starscream aimed a missile at the creature but his arm was shaking and he tripped over a rock and accidentally fired a missile at the ceiling causing a small explosion and causing rocks to fall in front of the creature who reeled back as the tunnel caved in.

Flashback End

Starscream shivered a little bit at those dreadful memories no Autobot had intimidated him like that in a long long time,Starscream turned around after hearing footsteps and saw Soundwave who was still a little bit banged up the gashes were welded shut and the dirt and grime were cleaned off of him and his face screen was repaired but he still had some dents that they hadn't hammered out yet and he walked with a little limp.

Starscream stared at soundwave with annoyance and concern "What are you doing Soundwave, you're not supposed to be walking around?"Starscream asked Soundwave didn't answer he just stared at Starscream then Knockout came limping through the threshold of the bridge his injuries was repaired as well "Ugh he didn't want to stay on bed rest, he's stubborn."Knockout said with a little shrug and a weak chuckle but Starscream wasn't laughing he couldn't have his injured soldiers doing stuff while they're injured otherwise they'll never recover fully, and they're no use to the decepticon cause like this.

"Get back in Medbay Soundwave and rest like you're supposed to,that is an direct order."Starscream said calmly but sternly Soundwave stared at Starscream intensely Soundwave never once trusted Starscream and has kept a close watch on him, constantly being an obstacle in his nefarious schemes in over throwing Megatron's reign. Starscream acknowledged his fears of Soundwave to Knock Out once before, part of Starscream really wants to kill Soundwave and be rid of his bothersome presence but like I stated before given Soundwave's gladiator experience he would prove a challenge to fight, however Soundwave was injured, so Starscream saw this opportunity to take him out, but not right now...soon.

Soundwave didn't say a word but limped out of the bridge with Knockout right behind him,when they left, Starscream shook his head groaning in annoyance and then he turned back towards the infinite clouds and blue skies ahead of him it was then a vehicon spoke up grabbing his attention. "Lord Starscream I'm detecting very very faint autobot signals,coming from a large land mass down below."he said Starscream peered down the window and saw an island.

It looked a little smaller than Rhode Island and it had a large mountain in the middle of it and it was green with grass and treetops, "how many?"Starscream asked referring to the mysterious autobots, "Uh 8 sir."the vehicon said Starscream's eyes widened a little bit, 8 autobots, combined with primes team that's quite a handful and possibly a headache for the Decepticons. Starscream wore an unbothered expression on his face as he remembered he had an armada at his disposal and facing 8 autobots is childsplay,Starscream looked at Breakdown who approached him "Breakdown assemble a massive squadron we've got autobots to squash."Starscream said sinisterly making Breakdown grin evilly.

Then the Nemesis hovered near the island as a ground bridge opened up on the sandy beach of the island and Starscream along with Breakdown and 100 vehicons came out of the portal Starscream looked at the map which showed the location of the autobots which was quite a ways away, "This way."Starscream said as he began to walk through the forest with the others following close behind. The squad roamed through the forest in silence as the ambient sounds of the wind blowing and birds chirping, they walked past rocks and trees until they came out onto a field and traversed that before going through another treeline and walking through the forest again.

The team walked past a river and onward until they came onto a field that was when they saw it, a destroyed charred ship that had been reclamed by nature there was moss and dirt on it as well has leaves, "Is that a space ship?"Breakdown asked curiously Starscream walked over to the ship and wiped off the dirt and leaves to reveal Cybertronian markings "Yep it's cybertronian alright."Starscream said outloud and was about to say something else until his foot hit something he looked down and saw that it was a long dead robot, reclaimed by nature. Starscream kneeled down at the corpse and examined it at first he couldn't tell who it was because it looked like his face was split in half but he looked at the robot's arms and saw that it was Dragon head and necks, the rest of the squad looked around and saw that there were other corpses laying around all were Dragon like.

One vehicon crouched down and wiped away the moss from one of them to reveal a Predacon symbol "These are Predacons."The vehicon announced earning suprised mumbles from the others, "Predacons here on this planet?"Breakdown said with astonishment as he began wondering what they were doing here and how did they get here?

The Decepticons looked around at the corpses curiously trying to figure out why they were here, "How did they die?"a vehicon asked "Looks like they fought each other."another said looking at the wounds inflicted on their bodies a few vehicons spread out, one came across the body of a robot that wasn't a predacon but a normal cybertronian, the top half of their body was bitten off.

"Everyone over here!!!"a voice shouted from the distance the rest of the Decepticons ran over to the person who shouted and they all gathered around a very familiar person, it was the deceased body of Shockwave,his body was rusted and there was moss and leaves covering parts of his body,he was barely recognizable apart from the one eye.
