Nemesis No POV

Bulkhead woke up as he got up.

Bulkhead: ugh. My head's busted. <looks around> what the- the Con's warship?

Bulkhead backs up but then turns around and saw he was about to fall through the hole that was opened and they were above the clouds.

Bulkhead: Ratchet, don't ask how I got here. Long story. Ratchet, you copy? Scrap.

Bulkhead leave the cargo hold as he walks around.

Bulkhead: stealthy, stealthy.

Bulkhead heard some footsteps as some Vehicons and Sentinels were walking as Bulkhead tried to get back into the cargo hold but the door closed on his face. He made himself into a ball as much as he could as the Vehicons and Sentinels didn't notice him.

Bulkhead backed off until he bumped into someone as he turned around and aimed his blasters at... Starscream, who aimed his missiles at him.

Bulkhead: Starscream?

Starscream: why is it that every time I return to my old stomping grounds, I find an Autobot roaming the halls?

Bulkhead: don't tell me you came crawling back to Megatron.

Starscream: hardly. Now out of my way.

Bulkhead: screamer, you gotta show me the way off this boat.

Starscream: sorry, too busy.

Bulkhead: look, when you needed help-

Starscream: as I recall, we bartered, so unless you have anything of value to offer me, step aside.

Bulkhead: the exit. Now.

Starscream: I may have given Arcee a free pass when she and I last met<slashes his chest> but I won't hesitate to skewer you as I did a certain CliffJumper.

Bulkhead charged at Starscream but they both stopped in their tracks when they heard two voices.

Slipstream; are you sure you can't find her?

SoundStorm: for the thousand time, Slipstream, I can't.

Starscream: Slipstream?! Here?!

Bulkhead: she was brought back from Cybertron alongside Barricade, old girlfriend?

Starscream; what?! No! She's my sister!

Bulkhead: oh.

Starscream: how about this- you help me spy on them and in return I'll help you get off the ship.

Bulkhead: sounds like a fair deal.

Bulkhead and Starscream followed SoundStorm and Slipstream to SoundStorm's Lab to see the Sentinel Assembler, Nemesis Prime's body, and the upgraded Sentinel that was still in development.

Slipstream: so you can't find Airachnid?

SoundStorm: I can't damn it!

Slipstream; ok, ok. So your upgraded Sentinel, why did you make one instead of- you know, a whole squadron.

SoundStorm: Slipstream, I barely have time to do anything. With everything that has been going on, I barely have time to upgrade this Sentinel and scan that one's body!

Starscream: is that Prime?

Bulkhead: a knock off which Miko named Nemesis Prime.

SoundStorm: it's stressful being the second in command when I'm finishing reports and stuff that Starscream left incomplete when he went rogue!
