Danger On The Track

Chapter 9

Megatron was walking through the streets of Iacon thinking about the things Knock Out had said to him before he and Starscream went to Velocitron and the warlord had realized that the red medic was right and felt guilty about his treatment of the seeker.

But was suddenly brought out of his thoughts when he heard barking and saw Blue Jay running around letting out barks and whimpers that sounded desperate and when the bumble puppy spotted the former Decepticon leader he ran right to him holding one paw up.

"What's wrong?" Megatron asked as he pick up Blue Jay in his servo and was surprised that the bumble puppy didn't growl at him but looked upset and showed signs of destress. "Where's your master?"

Blue Jay whined and hung his head, And Megatron knew something must have happened and that Starscream was in trouble because from what he had seen Megatron knew Starscream would never just abandon his bumble puppy and judging by how upset Blue Jay was acting he could tell the seeker was in danger.

"I whis you could talk to tell me what happened." Megatron said as he tried to calm the bumble puppy down.

Just then they saw Swindle and Blue Jay climb down from Megatron's servo and made a B-line for the con artist and started growing up a strom as if telling him off.

Then Megatron went over understanding from Blue Jay's behavior that he must have something to do with whatever happened to Starscream.

"Swindle tell me have you seen Starscream lately?" Megatron asked. "Because his bumble puppy is upset and I think he's in trouble."

"No I haven't seen Starscream since the Decepticons." Swindle lied. "Now can you please get Blue Jay under control!" The combaticon complained about the bumble puppy who was barking and growing at him while hoping up and down to spite having an injured paw that he was still holding up.

"Riddle me this, if you haven't seen Starscream since the Decepticons how is it that you know the name of his bumble puppy?" Asked Megatron catching on to his lie.

"I..uh.." Swindle started having trouble coming up with what to say next.

"I would choose my words wisely and be honest if I were you." Megatron said darkly while glaring daggers at him.

"Ok I'll talk." Swindle replied knowing that trying to lie anymore world probably get him killed since Megatron is a bot you really don't wanna mess with.

Then Swindle told everything to the former gladiator who was angry when he heard about what he had done involving Knock Out and the racers and then telling Overlord about Starscream.

And knew the phase sixer must have taken the seeker and there was no telling what Overlord might do to Starscream.

"Call him!" Megatron hissed.

"Huh?" Swindle asked.

"Call Overlord!" Megatron demanded. "Then transfer the call to my com-link."

Swindle obeyed and called Overlord then transferred the call to Megatron.

"Hello Megatron it's certainly a surprise having you call me I was just in the process of trying to get a certain seeker to give me your location." Overlord said over the com-link.

"Let Starscream go he has nothing to do with this, your business is with me." Megatron told him and the former Decepticon leader could hear grunts in the background.

"You hear that seeker you've outlived your usefulness." Overlord suddenly said mockingly, Then Megatron heard Starscream's voice cry out in what sounded like pure agony.

"NO!!!" Megatron yelled over the com-link thinking Overlord had just killed him. "Starscream!"

"Haha don't worry he isn't dead yet." Overlord told Megatron darkly, And the former warlord felt a bit of relief when he heard Starscream moaning he didn't know how badly the seeker had just been hurt or what Overlord did to make him scream like that but at least he was alive for the moment.
