The Secret History of Cybertron

Part 2 Ch.8

A match of the battle mask has failed. To find a match with any of the Decepticon. It annoyed Steeljaw just as find metal shaving between plates. And even the emotionless Soundwave seem irritated with them coming back with different avenues to the mask. Even when they say the mystery is not important. And for the rest of the Decpeticons. It sat on their minds as a white noise on a radio. And again, Steeljaw is facing the virtual Bumblebee with his bio weapons charged as they now blare snide comments in binary. With a whoosh of the doors Thundercraker enter the room again. Picking up the binary words of "maybe I should take you to the pound little puppy."

"You must be at this for a while."

Steeljaw sneer "And why would you say that?"

"The snide comment. The more you interact with the virtual Bumblebee. The more chance they will start responding to you. Don't worry that's a good thing."

The virtual Bumblebee responds with a chirp "are you here to collect your mut?"

"The practice is over; you can go now." Thundercraker says.

And with pixel squares. And before the virtual Bumblebee can disappear give on last comment "next time I'll put you into puppy training."

Steeljaw swipe where they stood.

"I see not long enough yet." 

As a cube of energon is presented right at them. Taking most of visual space. Steeljaw snatch it out of his hand. Taking in half the cube in one go.

It was a normal routine now with Thindercracker coming in and asking something about Earth.

This time Steeljaw has a question. Though wording it may be really hard. As it seems that many Decepticons fear Bumblebee or are almost friendly terms with Bumblebee.

"I notice that many Decepticons during the war are prepared to defend Bumblebee character or actually like Bumblebee. Why is that?" Steeljaw complied.

Thundercracker optics shine a little brighter. "It may sound strange to you since you were practically put into statis during the war. But Bumblebee has saved many of us or in some cases behave in line of the Decepticon way that could be considered outdated." Steeljaw twist as if trying to peice what he recalls from Bumblebee.

"So, if you had a pack. And a member of the course put the Pack in danger what would you do?" Thundercraker questions.

Steeljaw give a feral smile "I would make it sure that they will not hurt the pack in anyway."

"That's right. However, we were under Megatron orders and Starscream whom have protected many of us whether it was intentional or not could not protect us this time. And Bumblebee being a scout just happen to do us a big favour."

Thundercracker optics dim as his voice slow to a stop. Whatever it was. It hunts Thundercraker enough to lose reality.

"Is this sweet story of yours got anything significant." Steeljaw not wanting to show curiosity though the slow twitch in his tail gave it away.

Thundercraker optics zoom on to him and stared at him if he was an enemy. It last for fan rotation.

"Have you heard that Starscream created clones of himself?"

Steeljaw shakes his head. He many heard of the battles but not the workings inside the armies and mostly of the Autobots.

"Well, Starscream before he became the commander was manly a low officer. And he figured how to make clones. So he decided to make a prototype. Smaller and not as strong. And it was a success. She was called Sparky and her dominate personality was a child like wonder, And she was brilliant in navigation and flying and could keep up with the fastest of us."
