Dusk and Dawn book 2

Prisoner

He needed to get away from his problems for a while; Artorias, engulfed in sorrow and shame left the Autobot hideout. Out the North Door, and into the scorching desert his pedes took him. The giant, blue mech only began to slow down when the incandescent moon began to race across the darkening sky. Artorias heard a thud behind him; he quickly swerved around, his servo instinctively grasped the hilt of his sword, but what his optics laid upon made him almost gasp. Starscream!
"What are doing here you coward?!?" Artorias demanded, his servo still clutching his old greatsword. Starscream began to tremble violently.
He stammered "I-I.... I.... surr.... I give up!" The foolhardy mech squeaked when Artorias took a step forward; like a behemothic mountain overshadowing a tiny rivulet, Artorias took another step forward, very aware that the seeker was terrified of his great size.
"You, who has no mercy, now pleads for it?" Artorias growled. He finally unshealthed his greatsword, and readied himself as if he was going to charge. Slowly crawling on his skinny servos and pedes, Starscream cried
"Please! Don't kill me!!.... I-I.... please give me mercy, I beg of you! I'll do anything!" Artorias, slightly hesitant, shealthed his sword and pulled the Decepticon to his feet; he embraced the mech immediately, and began to kiss his faceplate.
"Thank you, thank you, thank--" Starscream was shoved off his pedes.
"By the Allspark, you're sick!" Spat Artorias "What is wrong with you?" He almost pulled out his sword, but the seekers optics caught his attention; they were offline, the idiot was blind!
The giant sighed "You are blind? I did not know..." He relaxed his frame a bit, but the knight still kept a green optic on the mech.
Starscream wailed "Please, Master, spare me! Starscream will become an Autobot!" From his wing tips to his gray servos he trembled still.
"I will make you a prisoner." Stated Artorias "You must pay for your crime, the murder of Optimus Prime,  our leader; if you manage to survive, I will gladly open my arms and call you brother." Starscream nodded.
Artorias continued "And you must change your name to show your change of creed." Star nodded again. Slightly unaware of were to put his pedes, Artorias guided him away to the Base.
