Transformers Prime: The Second Chance

Masters and Students

I do not own Transformers Prime or any of the characters associated with the property, I only claim ownership of my character which I have made myself.

Starscream continued to look out at the recording of the space-bridge explosion. He was finally in charge, and for good. There was no longer any Megatron to worry about, and nobody else on board the Nemesis dared to challenge him. He couldn't help but smirk at his former Master's arrogance and stupidity. 

"Such a shame, but I applaud you Megatron. You certainly made a grand exit." 

The sound of pedes moving towards him dragged him out of his thoughts, and he turned to face Soundwave, the new second in command of the Decepticons. "Ah, Soundwave, cue the audio-visual. I wish to address the troops." 

The new Decepticon overlord turned back to the monitor, which shifted to broadcast his message across the entirety of his ship, and to all of his troops. "The loss of Megatron, leader of the great Decepticon Uprising, is certainly a blow to our cause. Yet, we mustn't despair to his tragic demise, but instead, embrace his ultimate sacrifice, and build upon the foundation he laid, with an even mightier hand." 

"With all due respect Commander Star-a", the glare Starscream shot the vehicon trooper who dared interrupt him made the trooper rethink his words. "Uh, Lord Starscream." 

"Yes yes, what is it?", grumbled the impatient Decepticon leader. 

The drone continued, "If we failed to conquer Earth under Lord Megatron's command, what hope do we have now while the Autobots still defend it?" 

One of the soldiers called him lesser than Megatron, one of his soldiers had just called him lesser than Megatron. How dare he! If it was common knowledge they needed spilling into their CPUs, then Starscream would give it to them! "Allow me to be crystal clear, I studied millennia under our former master, thus I am equipped to lead you. I, Megatron's true heir, Lord Starscream, Emperor of Destruction!" 

Starscream threw his servo in the air as a sign of dominance and emphasis of his newfound power, however, instead of cheering the vehicons only muttered amongst themselves. This would not do for his army. Growling in anger, Starscream stormed off, with Soundwave cutting the live feed and following close behind. 

Whilst walking, Starscream couldn't help but vent to himself and Soundwave over his troop's incompetent CPUs and their lack of vision with their former master now gone, "Agh, what use are troops who can't rise to the task of inflicting unspeakable destruction in my name?" 

It was then that Starscream paused, both in his walking and in his thinking, for he had a thought. He knew of one who could match Prime in combat, and would set a good example for his useless soldiers. One who was almost as devastate a seeker as he was. The legendary Skyquake. "But wait, legend tells of one capable warrior, one who exists here, upon this very planet. One who can be student to my master." 

With that, the newly crowned Decepticon leader walked for the the hanger, before transforming and flying off towards his desired destination. And he was accompanied by his silent second in command...

The final scanner washed its blue light over me, the final scan to confirm that my interaction with 'Screamer didn't give me any permanent damage. 

Ratchet walked up to me once the scan was complete, offering his hand so that I could get down from the twenty foot high platform I stood on. "That should be the last of your scans, the results should come in within a few hours. But, until then do not do anything that pushes your limits."
