"I will not have your temper, Seeker!" Predacessor growled at the newly ruling Starscream. Hearthwing pounced on Starscream after Predacessor was done talking. Starscream was startled by the quick Predacon's attack and moved just in time to retaliate. He quickly fired a missile at Hearthwing and it hit her chest at full force. She fell back to the ground, Energon dripping from her chest. She let out a low growl before Vehicons tackled and started shooting at her. Predaking let loose a stream of flames that engulfed the Vehicons covering Hearthwing and they screamed at the heat seared through their plating. Predacessor stood up on his hind legs and gave a loud roar which caused Starscream, Shockwave, Graveletter, Hearthwing, and Predaking to pause where they were. "You insist on this petty war, Seeker! A war against Cybertronians of unmatched strength!" Predacessor bellowed, his voice deep and commanding.
"Our war is not yours to stop!" Starscream yelled back, his wings flaring. Shockwave placed a servo on Starscream's shoulder and held him back before Starscream got himself killed by the massive Predacon. Hearthwing transformed to bot mode and stood beside Predacessor, and was followed by Graveletter. Predaking was hesitant on where to go, beside Hearthwing and Predacessor, or on his own, fighting for what he felt was freedom.
"Predaking, or you so call you yourself. If you are born to be a Predacon, then be a Predacon." Predacessor shifted his gaze from Starscream to Predaking, "You may not be the Predacon you were before death, but all in all, you are still kin." Predaking stared at the large Predacon with respect, then looked to Hearthwing who stood proudly beside her companion, Graveletter.
I wonder if she likes that Worm more than her own kin. They seem inseparable, always close by one another. Predaking shook his helm to loose the thought, What are you saying, Predaking? You are a Predacon and she is a Predacon. Graveletter is a Cybertronian Worm!
"Predaking?" Graveletter looked at the confused Predacon who seemed to be mentally battling themself.
"What?!" Predaking yelled in response. Everyone, including the Decepticons took a few steps back as Predaking seemed to burn with envy. It was in his voice, his body language, even his optics; Predaking truly thought that he was alone due to Graveletter, a Worm. He looked at everyone's shocked faces, then took to the air, leaving everyone behind, Hearthwing, Predacessor, Graveletter, Starscream, all of the Decepticons. His two companions were dead, Skylynx and Darksteel, all because of Graveletter. It's all his fault! He mentally roared as he kept in the air.

Predacessor stood tall and didn't shift his gaze from the Decepticons as Predaking threw a tantrum.
"If that was some kind of game, it won't work! This is my, i mean, our home!" Shockwave slid his servo down his helm in utter annoyance of the Seeker, "And you will not have it!" Starscream continued.
"Another time, perhaps." Hearthwing looked at Predacessor, confused, as he started towards the old Predacon tower hidden in the Sea of Rust. She shifted her gaze from Starscream to Predacessor, Starscream looked just as confused as he did triumphant.
Odd. Graveletter told himself, Predacessor must have a plan. But what of that Predaking fellow? It looked to him that Hearthwing was thinking the same thing. Hmm... Is Predaking jealous? It doesn't seem like a Predacon to be jealous. Then again, he doesn't know the ways of Predacons very well due to him being a clone. If he wants Hearthwing, he has to fight her mate for her, but her mate, JailBlaze, is long past dead. Wait... does he think... I'm Hearthwing's mate? Am I? No. Maybe? I don't know. Graveletter finished talking to himself when he realized that Hearthwing was standing next to him.
"Let's go find Predaking." Hearthwing hummed as she adjusted to her beast form and jumped into the sky, grabbing Graveletter's shoulder plates in her foretalons and she took after Predaking.
