~A Little Bit of Bad with A Little Bit of Good.~

Chapter 10

You hummed as you walked with your co captain as he described the current news from Megatron. You held yourself nobly wings high and servos held behind your backstruts. The door slid open as both you and your co captain walked onto the main bridge where serval other members of your crew were currently working.

Seeing you they immediately stood at attention in a unified salute. You nodded sending them back to work. Your co captain followed you to your work station. You sat down in the little too big captain chair and rested your elbow-joints on the sides and interlocked your digits.

"Any news on my brother, Aspen?" You spoke not looking towards the mech as you stared out the large windows of the control center

The stars of this sector blazed in a flurry of different shades of red, purple, and stark white. They blended into like this throughout the galaxy as though they were a perfectly posed painting, under the influence of the brush. It was utterly disgusting, it needed to die.

"No, Captain. We have right to assume that he died in the crashing of the ship." Aspen spoke a little too perky for your taste

"Than that will be all." You stated casting him a malice filled glance

"Yes Ma'am." Aspen said not reacting to your pointed look, "I will retire to my quarters then."

You gave him a dismissive nod and he turned and left. You glared through the glass at the beautiful galaxy. For most it's colors and beautiful lay out would sooth the anger and emotions rushing though them. It only made you angrier, though you refused to allow it to show through your cold demeanor.

"Clashfire." The femme perked when her designation was called, "What's the nearest life full planet?"

She turned to her control module and scanned, "Just one jump away ma'am." She spoke

You typed on the arm of the chair pulling up a holographic view of the poor planet. It was beautiful. It needed to die.

"Set a course for it." You commanded sending the crew to work soon the jump drive was activated

Everyone one lurched backwards in their seats lightly, but you remained stationary. As soon as it was activated the jump shut off and there before you was a planet. Lush green with life, the small vine connected islands that floated close to it gave a the planet an alien feel. You rose from your seat and walked forward to the glass.

"Destroy it." You growled mercilessly

Soon everyone got to work, but one bit had to audacity to get up and walk to you.

"N-no disrespect captain, b-but why must we destroy such a docile place, that could be of farther use to us later." He spoke his voice quivering

You stared at him from the corner of your optic, "Clashfire, congratulations on becoming Head Navigator."

"B-but ma'am I-I'm Head Navigator.." the mech beside you spoke

"Your going into early retirement." And without even looking you drew your gun and blasted him right between his crimson optics, he feel backwards onto the floor energon welling in a large pool around him orienting from the helm.

You turned to look over your shoulder, "Any farther... concerns?" There was no response, "Good, fire on my command."

You felt the whole ship whir to life beneath your pedes. It sent a tickle down your spinial strut as you stared at the planet studying it within its last few moments of being something more than a few asteroids.

You narrowed your optics, "Fire."

The brilliant red beam blasted cleanly from the ship into the planet. The bright red glow reflected in your optics as you watched the planet slowly crack apart and die. You only wished to hear the cries and pleas of the poor souls inhabiting this pitiful excuse for a planet.

In its last moments the planet looked more beautiful than it had ever a warm blue glow shinning out through the crust the plants having one last chance to bloom. It was a glorious way to die. The planet soon was no more as an explosion of red and blue shattered the sky where the planet once was.

You grin.

...

Your optics onlined to be met with a bland grey ceiling. You shifted slightly in the metal berth. Swinging your legs over and on to the floor you stretched with a yawn. Tiding up your berth, and watering your small sapling growing in a pot you walked out of your room. You fluttered your wings slightly seeing no one else was up yet.

An early morning fly never hurt a bot. You walked out quietly and closed the front door behind you. You ran did a cart wheel and leapt into the air and transformed. You quickly gained speed and hummed as the early morning sun began to warm your wings. Though something felt different about the skies today.

You flipped though each of your sensors. They need some adjusting. Though you could just faintly see the outline of a jet a mile or two behind you. Though you had to be sure it was following you. You weaved around some of the taller buildings and took a few different turns and saw that the purple and grey jet was following you.

Thinking carefully about your next few decisions you radioed in, not knowing if the other jet could pick up on your comm unit.

";;This is (y/n) to base, I have a tailgater right up my aft and it doesn't seem friendly;;"

It took a few kliks but Optimus answered you saying you should draw them away from the city and into a clearing not to far, and said they would be there soon to help. You blasted forward and turned sharply and gained more speed drawing your follower with you. You dove low as you reached the clearing. Transforming you landed you your pedes and whirled around to see the other bot do the same. When you met optics you both froze.

"(Y/n)?"

"Starscream?"
