Transformers Prime [REWRITTEN]

¦¦ CHAPTER SEVEN ¦¦

A vrooming sound from Jack's garage is loud enough to wake the boy up but thankfully not his mother. This happened when Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee are assigned to be caretakers of the three kids. Jack ran down, still in his pajamas, and opened a door to the garage where Arcee is resting inside.

"Shh! Are you crazy? You'll wake up my mom!" Arcee stopped her engine and faced Jack while in vehicle mode, "Grab your helmet, it's go time." This caused the boy to scoff lightly, "But it's Saturday.." "You can watch cartoons back at base with Bumblebee." So Bee likes cartoons, thought Jack. Jack just feels defeated anyway, "Cartoons, I'm 16." He sticked his head back inside to change his clothes, "And leave a note for your mom, she worries!" Well, he thanked her for that if he's honest. After getting ready and left a note for June, he puts on his helmet and rode on the motorbike to the same area where he met the other Autobots..Though not really meeting them again; since it's a Saturday, the kids and their chosen guardians have their own fun. Like Arcee and Jack going for a drive, Bulkhead and Miko driving down a steep hill and Bumblebee with Raf playing a racing game. Raf, while still learning Cybertronian with Ratchet or Weaponchanger if the medic's busy, did kinda understand the yellow Camaro.

Back at base, Weaponchanger is the only one since Ratchet and Optimus are on a duo search for any suspicious activities. Now that they think about it, Weapon does go on patrols but all he did was watching over the base almost everyday, not that he can complain but it does get boring when you're the only bot at home. Even as a secretary does get extra boring as well, 'Ah well..' He walked to the control pad to check on his team's life signals to check if they're fine then to look through anything important on screen, "No meeting, no meeting and nooo meeting." Great, he thought.

Now at the Nemesis, Starscream just walked inside where his leader is standing in front of the Dark Energon. 'Now what did I miss?' He walked towards to him and cleared his throat into his servo to address without saying a word, "Ah Starscream, you're well now." Megatron turned around and he did look normal but the Seeker felt something's off. "Yes, Makeshift sent a message to the doctor to patch me up. What were you doing here before I got in here, exactly?" The lord let out a smile but quickly lost it, "Ah right, I was inspecting the Dark Energon after our little 'talk'-" Starscream almost shuddered at that memory but Megatron continued to speak, "Then I'm only surprised that you didn't turn what I was expecting. I was thinking an alive turned undead type." 'And that didn't work out..Although..' He touched his own chestplate where his spark rested, maybe he's not compatible? Or stabbing the shard on one's spark chamber while alive is different with the dead one, the air commander just shook his head.

"So, while you were recovering; I tried it on myself." Starscream's optics went wide at that, "W-what?!" The leader put out a servo in front of his face, "I can only feel the blood of Unicron flowing through my veins..As if I hear his very thoughts." The Seeker's processor is filled with every question like 'Why did he do that?' 'Is he insane?' 'How is he not dead?' and so on. Megatron took another shard, "I know what I must do." "And what can I do to assist you, Master?" Instead of giving orders, Megatron just slowly walked past him, "Quit grovelling. And await my command." The commander can only watched the lord walking away while making a worried expression, though he can feel himself smiled a bit. Megatron went out of the entrance of the Nemesis then transformed into a jet and flew off while the commander watches but that didn't last when Soundwave startled him, "Soundwave!..I fear that when our Master reach for the stars, he came down with a touch of..space madness. Lord Megatron has not sound on his judgement since his return." He turned around to face the silent Con, "Increase global surveillance!" Though Soundwave played back with Megatron's last recording, "Quit grovelling. And await my command." Starscream seems tad frustrated at that sentence alone, "I'm not deaf! Though I think we still need to interrogate Cliffjumper for the base's location. He's getting my patience thin." The officer surprisingly nods so the two went to get the red Autobot again.

Cliff is still laying on his cell berth, when will he see the Sun again? He doesn't mind this but this is getting old being stuck and interrogated with slow torture. Then he stood upright when he heard his cell door opened and saw Soundwave and Starscream. "Seriously, I don't have anything to discuss with you." He can obviously tell the Seeker's patience is getting thinner by his twitching optic then the communications officer spoke to his audial receptor though the Autobot heard nothing? It's even stranger that the Seeker knew what Soundwave told him because now he's looking at him with an unreadable faceplate, "Fine, if you won't tell us, Soundwave suggested to me that we'll find one of your comrades to tell us. Maybe.." He smirked, "Your partner, Arcee?" Now that caught Cliffjumper's attention.

"W-wait-" "Ahh, that would be a shame that if we caught her and give her something to actually torture her. Sadly, I couldn't think of any but I would find whatever that will trigger her processor." Cliff is panicking internally, "I-I still won't tell you..! Even if you got Cee!" Starscream just shrugged a bit, "It's not like I have any options." The two Decepticons walked out and the red Bot can only watched them slowly disappearing from distance.
