A Change of Spark (Starscream X Reader)

Chapter Twelve: Darkmount

They all returned to the Warship after what seemed like hours because all the other Decepticons wouldn't stop staring at me. Though they all look the same so I'm calling them Troops. Megatron ordered the troops to go to his new fortress, Darkmount, which stood right next to the Autobot base. Starscream had managed to find the location of their base when he got the Keys. We arrived to see the Autobots outside their base, looking at Darkmount. Starscream had his armada ready to attack.

"Our opportunity to revive Cybertron has been lost due to the treachery of Optimus Prime! But from our fortress of New Kaon, we will instead seize control of this world! Decepticons, transform and rise up!" Megatron said

Starscream lead his armada towards the Autobot base and started firing at them. The Insecticon Hive joined the fight as well. They all attempted to fire back and protect themselves but they ultimately went back inside for shelter. A human attempted to use their helicopter to fend off Starscream and his armada. It was a failed attempt until a Cybertronian ship arrived and joined in.

I watched the fight unfold from the Warship. The Warship moved to it was over their base. A cannon emerged from underneath and prepared to fire. I watched as the base was blown up. All that remained was fire and destruction. Troops looked everywhere in the rubble for any relics or bodies. All they could find was a hammer called the Forge of Solus Prime, Airachnid in a status pod, and an injured Autobot named Wheeljack. 

There was a lot to take in. At least there were no bodies. So, they clearly Groundbridged from their base before it was destroyed. They could be anywhere. Starscream suggested initiating global surveillance to hunt down every last Autobot. Megatron ordered Soundwave to monitor all Earth-based transmissions for any sign of Autobot communication, with each other, or with their human companions.

That's when the human military arrived to attempt to destroy Drakmount. But Megatron didn't use the troops to handle them because now the Decepticons can attack them with new-found might, as Megatron said. The Cannons on Darkmount easily dealt with the humans and destroyed the nearby town. But Megatron wasn't done with the humans. He decided to make a fake deal with one of the Autobot's human friends called Agent Fowler. Starscream, Romeo, and I listened to the conversation.

"A new power dominates your world. Any further attempts to attack me will be met with even greater force. Your leaders should be advised that my Fusion Cannons possess enough firepower to decimate any densely populated area of my choosing. I would in all likelihood set sight on your nation's capital, for starters," Megatron told him

'Point taken. Now, what do you want from us?' Agent Fowler asked

"Nothing, Agent Fowler. The Decepticons mean no harm to humanity. We merely desire a place to call home."

'No offense, Megatron, but I'm having a tough time swallowing all this since you seemed so bent on plastering humankind under molten steel.'

"Agent Fowler, I admit that war brings out the worst in me, but the conflict with the Autobots is now over and our quarrel has never been with your kind. Now that the one true enemy of the Decepticons is no more, my only wish is to coexist on this planet with the human race peacefully. Together, Agent Fowler, I believe that you and I can make that dream a reality."

Megatron ended the call and walked over to watch the horizon with Starscream who was clapping.

"You, too, have a way with words, Master," Starscream said

Romeo said something for me to translate, "Agreed. Romeo almost believed you himself."

Megatron laughed, "Earth is our planet now, you three and we shall finish what we started. Humankind has no idea what lies ahead for them."
