Saving Light

Chapter 4: Abilities

Firestar faced the challenges Shockwave threw at her. But there was one question roaming through her mind. Shockwave could have treated her as a piece of scrap through all his test but he didn't.

"Shockwave, you already have taken notes of me in combat. How does this make a difference?" Asked the Prime once she finished her opponent. But the scientist didn't answer her question, he never usually did when the topic was about her and his experiments. Firestar didn't even bother to follow him back to his quarters, she stood there, looking at the floor and then at her servos. She sigh even though she was no longer contained in a cell, she could roam the ship whenever she pleased. She quite didn't feel complete she wiggled her digit to recreate a decent memory in a blue cloud of mist. The memory was of her and her father in the Autobot training room. She smiled at the thought, shook her helm, and started walking out of the training room. Firestar made it to her desired location, the command center. She looked around to see the faceless con looking at some radio waves. Over the past month, she grew a small connection with Soundwave that he spoke to her in his voice and not of many.

"Hello Soundwave, what are you doing?" Asked the Prime as she gazed at other projects the commander had done already.

"Nothing Miss. Star." Replied the con.

"What about you, how has my brother been treating you?" Asked Soundwave as Firestar took a seat at an available chair.

"Good, which is suspicious since he is a con." Firestar said as she leaned back and looked at the ceiling as Soundwave turned his helm to face her.

"Don't tell him that I told you, but he does have a soft spot from Primes..." Soundwave said as Firestar stood up from her chair and walked over to him.

"Do tell..."

"That's up to him to tell not me. I spoke too much." Soundwave said as he began working on his thing before Firestar came in. The Prime didn't push an answer out of him, as she thanked him for his time and walked back to the lab. As the doors swished open, she saw the lab covered in darkness.

"Hello?" Firestar spoke but there was no response in return. She walked in further, the lights were never off before, but why now?

"Shockwave isn't here at the moment, Firestar..." spoke two red glowing optics in the shadows.

"It's been a while since hadn't seen each other."

"Make it longer." Firestar spoke, as she saw Starscream walk towards her.

"Shockwave usually is around ever since he took off that ring around your neck. How curious.."

"Maybe you need that neck ring more than me Heelie. You mostly get out of line than I do and disobey Megatron." He lunged at the Prime to the nearest wall. Firestar tried to break loose, but was pinned harder to the wall with every move she made. Her wrist was above her helm and her optics were locked on the red optics in front of her.

"Don't call me that!" He showed Firestar his sharp digits before sinking them to her side. The Prime grunted in pain, before wrapping her tail around his waist. She yanked him off of her and to the floor. She held out her servo with a blue orb hovering above it. Her optics were glowing purple with a revenge glare. Starscream only showed fear than the face of dominance.

"Get out before you get hurt Starscream!" She yelled though it sound like Unicron rather than herself. The seeker got up from the floor and ran out of the lab like a chicken. Firestar cool down from her rage, as she walked to the nearest berth. When she sat down, she started to examine her wounded side. She will be alright, but sadly it will leave a scar.

"Where were you, Miss. Firestar?" Asked Shockwave when he entered the, seeing her laying down on a berth.

"I was at the training room then went to find Soundwave, and had a chat. Then came here." The scientist gave a silent nod and then walked out of the lab, but this time. Firestar followed. Once they made it to Shockwave's quarters, he went to go pick up something on his desk and began to walk out before Firestar had a chance to go into her mini room.
