The Lost Sparkling

The Princess and the Traitor

I look up and I see Starscream. "Get off me, you scrap head!" I shout at the mech on top of me. He smirks at me, an evil glint in his optics. "You know, I could use you to usurp Megatron and have the throne all to myself," he fantasizes. "Ha! As if! You and I both know Megatron won't allow that," I sass him. "If this stunt does anything, it gets you banished from the Decepticons at the LEAST." Starscream strikes me across the faceplates, "You watch your mouth, femme! You are talking to the second in command of the Decepticons you know," he whines. "And you, have stricken the daughter of the deception leader. And do you really think that Soundwave didn't send Laserbeak to keep watch? Especially after your feeble attempts to offline Megatron? Man, you're dumber then I thought," I retort. I shove Starscream off of me and get ready for a fight, just on call, he cowers in fear. 'Man, I must be pretty terrifying and he hasn't even seen me fight yet.' Starscream takes off in the other direction as fat fast as he can. "Pathetic, he can't even face me," I mutter to myself. I turn on my heel strut and run into a metal surface. "OW!" I shout, holding my helm. "Sorry Sweetspark, are you alright?" My dad asks. "Yeah dad, I'm fine. Wait, why are you here?" I question. "I have a certain pest to rid myself of. Go back to the Nemesis with Soundwave," He says. "Ok," I reply, following Soundwave through the space bridge.

"What's got you so worked up?" Arcee questions. "I can't seem to find Firewing. Have you seen her?" Optimus asks hopefully. "No I haven't, sorry," Arcee replies. Optimus sighs, getting the attention of Ratchet. "What is it Optimus?" The medic asks, not looking up from his work. "It's Firewing, she's missing," The leader responds, sadness in his voice. "That's odd, it's not like her to just run off, do you think she was taken prisoner?" Ratchet asks, setting down the data pad. "No, then the Decepticons would have to know the location of our base. Unless..... Oh no..... Ratchet I know what's happened," Optimus explains. "You don't mean..... She found out?" Ratchet gapes in shock. "Yes, old friend. She has figured out who her real father is, and she has joined him and his army," Optimus says, sadly. "Firewing has become a decepticon...."
