It's A Love Story (Armada Starscream x Reader)

Kidnapping, The First Sacrifice

"You still haven't obtained the Star Saber sword Thrust."

"Y-yes, I know Megatron, but I have a plan to-"

"Starscream still has it, doesn't he?"

"The Autobots have it! And I'll have you know that I have a proposition for that back turner."

"This better be the last time you fail me, Thrust."

"Yes sir. Of course, I'll get the Star Saber for good."

'And Starscream back on our side, master...'

——————————

You were out on your own, backpacking through the small town/city that your friends called home.

Truthfully, you actually didn't "live" here. You had traveled to this town a while ago, doing some soul searching. You got a hotel, but shortly after you met the three kids and then met the Autobots, you moved in to their base.

You were taking some time to yourself while Starscream was on monitor duty. You asked him to, that's why he was on monitor duty in the first place. Oh, and he was going to follow through on what you said, if Alexis did ever come to talk to him.

It was a overcast day, not raining, but strangely warm. Dry as always.

You began to climb some abandoned construction, wanting to get to the roof. It was a parking building. You felt with your hands, feeling the hard wrinkle of the concrete you climbed on. Finally, you got up to the roof, and gazed over the buildings.

'I know Starscream wants to get along. But the other Autobots won't give him a fair chance. Well, besides Optimus, Hotshot, and surprisingly Scavenger. Well, maybe not so surprising on that one. He WAS with the Decepticons for a short time. Maybe he understood Starscream's plight. Then again... No. Even if he did, the empathy wouldn't be there. I guess I would know, what it's like. Wanting to be acknowledged, be respected. But since my start of my journey, I've opted to help others without recognition.'

Isn't weird how things change?

You sighed out loud, and turned. You noticed the opening to the lower levels of the unfinished parking lot, and decided to take that way down. As you were, you continued to ponder the situation.

But unbeknownst to you, something, or rather, someone was lurking.

After a few steps, you felt the building lightly shake. You stopped. You glanced around carefully, looking to find what had caused that.

Then you heard and felt heavy shaking in front of you, then a weapon being powered up. You looked in front of you, and your eyes widened.

It was Sideways. You couldn't believe your eyes.

"Y-you.." 'He was dead...'

Your right hand distinctively went up to where your swords would usually be. Unfortunately, you forgot to bring them with you.

You gritted your teeth. "Crud.."

Sideways powered down his cannon by a little. "Simmer down little human. I'm not here to kill you. That's what that stupid bot Thrust tried to do, and lucky for you, I'm not him."

You felt yourself shiver, and you took a few steps back. He was intimidating. You stopped and stood hard. "G-get away from me.."

Sideways crossed his arms. "You are the key to him now. And at first that tossed a rench into our plan here."

You heard someone coming up behind you.

You realized it was Thrust as his slimy voice entered the atmosphere of the room.
