The sun had gone to bed by the time he made it back to the entrance. The ground outside where the sun was once dancing on the sand had faded away. The Earth began to settle as animals of all kinds started to scurry about under the moonlight. With no bright lights of any kind to disturb the glistening stars of the night, they began to appear like moths drawn to a flame. Glistening in the sky, they begin to sparkle majestically while the moon sat peacefully to watch over them. A wave of peace washed over Starscream as he let out a relaxed sigh, For him the night time on this planet was perfection. The moon blessed little Asteria who was fast asleep as it came down to kiss her on her face.
A warm and loving smile crept onto the silver seekers face as he watched her little body rise and fall as it rested. The realisation that he was now her father was all but too real, and truth be told there was a deeply hidden secret about this little angel. It was something that he had never really told anybody, and he knew he would sound like a fool, he had always wanted to have a little sparkling of his own. To him, having somebody that was attached to him was the most significant thing he could ever wish for. Somebody to tell all his problems to without judging. Somebody to comfort him when he was upset and somebody to love and care for him in the years to come. Being a Decepticon, he knew that those dreams and wishes would never come true. And yet, here she was. Suddenly, her little body began to stir, and a loud whining sound erupted out of her mouth in what could best be described as an audio ringing high-frequency sound. Swiftly he began to hush her, giving many cuddles to ensure her that she was safe in his arms. Her little yellow optics opened wide, desperately seeking his comfort. It was apparent to him that she was terrified of being left alone. Her chest rose and fell as she gasped for air. She began to sob further puzzling him as to why she was so upset, and it suddenly became all but to clear when a very abrupt growling sound echoed throughout the cave followed by a loud whimper of a fright by the noise.
" Oh, you are low on Energon."
Using every last little ounce of her body strength, she sat up, rubbing her optics and nodded her head at his statement. Her vulnerable, exhausted body was most likely in desperate need of some Energon after being left alone for so long. With nobody to keep her warm, it was probably working overtime to try and keep her from dying of the cold. Thankfully he did have a little bit leftover from some he had scavenged from when he ran into Airachnid and that wretched insecticon. The very moment that he presented her with it, she reached out desperately grasping at with both her hands. He had admittedly never seen anybody able to eat anything that quickly. Within seconds it was already gone, but thankfully she instantly stopped crying. It had seemed as though the smallest bit of Energon had been enough to sustain her for now. Despite never actually having one for himself, he knew quite a bit about sparklings and how much they required for a healthy diet. If he did not give her more soon, then she would certainly perish, but luckily he knew exactly where to get some more." I have to get you back to the harbinger, There is more Energon inside" With his mind made up, he stood up onto his heel like peds and began the walk back to the ship when he was once Abanded and himself.

Back on the Nemesis:
" You left Starscream with the Autobots? Do you have any notion of the consequences of your blunder?!
"but my Lordship, it was Starscream's incompetence that cost us the immobiliser."
" I don't care about some trinket! My second in command and is now a prisoner of the enemy, which means all Decepticon intelligence could be at the fingertips of the Autobots!
" but my lo-"
" If you want to keep your helm attached I suggest you go back and get me Starscream before the Autobots do!"
Without another word, Airachnid lowered her thankfully still attached helm and slunk away to find Starscream. On her way to the flight deck, she grumpily hissed at some of the drones hovering around doing Nothing. How she wished she couldn't see them right now instead of looking for the pathetic excuse for a Decepticon. Although she was never in her wildest dreams going to admit it, she was somewhat anxious about what Starscream will do to her when she rescues him from her very own trap. He wasn't the second in command because he was brave or humble, Starscream was the second in power because he was sneaky, dangerous and above all unpredictable. Reaching the flight deck, she looked down at Earth and the moonlight that shines down onto it. Like a graceful and ballet dancer, she left from the flight deck and transformed into helicopter mode before diving down towards the Earth heading straight towards the ship unknowingly the sparkling and Starscream were.

Meanwhile, with Starscream:
"Nothing! Nothing! Oh, wait, look! More Nothing!"
He had searched the ship various times over and over again, but still, there were absolutely no bits of leftover Energon. Little Asteria watched each one of his movements curiously. She was still unsure whether or not she was indeed going to be okay with him, but her little body was unable to handle its exhaustion, so she fell straight to sleep every few minutes. With an angry snarl; he punched the wall, the side him and flinched when he thought the door was about to fight back. It Crumbled under the old rusted plating and fell straight onto the floor waking up Asteria in the process. Swiftly he hushed her, and she fell straight back to sleep. Dust rained from the ceiling as floated down onto the floor as quiet as a mouse. His wings flicked with glee as he realised that he had not yet discovered this room. His mouth drooled in anticipation as he looked around upon boxes and boxes Of fresh Energon. This supply would surely be enough to sustain them for a very long time. Just as he reached for a green cube, there was suddenly a thunder sound. He almost screamed in shock as it shook the ship making bits of Dirt fly everywhere. With nobody else around for miles that could mean only one thing, an intruder was aboard the ship
