Transformers Earthspark: Season 2 Rewrite

Chapter 7: Starscream's Armada (Part: A)

(30 Years Ago)

(During the Autobot vs Decepticon war on Earth)

Starscream was injured with blaster wounds all over his body as fled in terror with the Phase Shifter in his hands as Elita-1 and Arcee chased after him. "MEGATRON, THRUST, SHOCKWAVE, SOUNDWAVE, SKYWARP, NOVA STORM WHERE ARE YOU? WHY HAVE YOU ALL ABANDONED ME!?!" Starscream yelled as Elita-1 and Arcee began to fire on him. Starscream was barely able to doge out of the way of their blasts. Starscream transformed and flew into the air in pain.

(At The Decepticon Base)

Megatron sat on a throne examining a large canister of speed increasing Red Energon. The Decepticon's Soundwave, Skywarp, Nova Storm, and Thrust all stood in front of him. "Good Job Thrust, your plan worked flawlessly" Megatron said with a smirk on his face. Skywarp and Nova Storm looked at eachother then back at Megatron. "We're glad you're happy Megatron, but me and my sister were wondering where Starscream was, he came through the Ground Bridge with us" Skywarp asked with concern for Starscream's well-being evident in her voice. "Oh, I would like to know that as well Lord Megatron" the voice said.

Megatron and Thrust looked at each other then back at the twins however before they could respond to Skywarp's question a familiar voice spoke up. Suddenly everyone looked over at the entrance of the throne room and saw Starscream badly injured with the Phase Shifter still in his hand. "Starscream...you're alive" Megatron said in confusion. "Boss you look really beat up...what happened to you" Nova Storm asked with concern in her voice.

"I was zapped a few miles outside the Autobot's base I had to scrap Smokescreen and 5 or 6 other Autobot's to get away" Starscream explained and looked over at Megatron "Speaking of which...catch" Starscream said and through the Phases Shifter at his leader. Megatron caught it and smiled "Hehe good work Starscream. I guess even a miserable failure like you can do something useful" Megatron said mockingly, clearly irritating Starscream.

Starscream however didn't snap back like he usually would and instead looked over at Thrust with an irritated expression. "Thrust" Starscream said with disgust in his voice "Y-yes commander" Thrust said nervously and timidly. "You wouldn't happen to know why The Ground Bridge separated us would you?" Starscream asked with a sinister tone in his voice. "Oh, um I have no idea" Thrust exclaimed as Starscream walked up to his brownish-red colored counterpart.

"Are you sure because you would have everything to gain if I were to...disappear" Starscream said coldly and grabbed Thrust by the throat and slammed him against. "I'm telling you the truth, Commander Starscream. It was a malfunction with the Ground Bridge. You have to believe me." Thrust exclaimed in a panic as Starscream transformed his free hand into its saw blade mode and began to slowly bring it closer and closer to Thrust's face.

"Starscream that's enough" Megatron barked, causing Starscream to stop and look over at his leader. "I will not tolerate infighting amongst my ranks" Megatron ordered, causing Starscream to let go of Thrust. "Now Starscream why don't you go get yourself fixed in the medical bay" Megatron ordered with his disdain for his second in command being clear as day in his voice. "As you wish Lord Megatron" Starscream said with annoyance in his voice.

Starscream attempted to walk away but due to his injured body he stumbled forward and nearly collapsed. Skywarp quickly rushed to Starscream's side in order to help him walk "Thank you Skywarp" Starscream said "Don't mention it boss bot" Skywarp said casually.

Megatron and Thrust watched as Skywarp helped Starscream out of the room followed by Nova Storm. 'How can someone as pathetic as him be Lord Megatron's second in command?' Thrust thought to himself.

(Present Day - 9:00 PM at Night - At The Malto Residence)

Hashtag woke up in the middle of the night. She quickly looked around and saw all her siblings and Bumblebee present. Twitch was sleeping in a pile of hay with Fluffy-Ears cuddling up to her side, Thrash was sleeping against one of the barns walls while letting out a snore that sounded way to loud for a bot his size, Bumblebee was sleeping with one of his arms in its blaster modes in case they got attacked in the middle of the night, and finally Nightshade and Jawbreaker where both sleeping in there Alternate Modes with Jawbreaker being curled up and Nightshade sleeping on one of the wooden beams above them like an actual owl.
