I understood what my Creator needed/wanted from me. He mentioned another Predacon, and I was curious. He showed me "around", and he explained the situation they were in. The Decepticons and Autobots were in the middle of a war, and currently, the 'Cons were winning. He said that the 'Cons were unable to actually kill any of them, because the Autobots were very, very careful Cybertronian beings. And that was where I came in. I was a different species that the Autobots had yet to actually know of. I was quite capable of killing... anything. As I listened to him explain and speak, I couldn't help but notice that he was a very slow walker. I decided I would try to put up with it, but I had too much pent up energy, it needed to come out. Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore. I roared with frustration, and he immediately stopped walking.
"I-Is something wrong?" Shockwave stuttered with surprise, and fear.
I swung my head back and forth savagely, expressing how upset I was.
"YOU WALK SO SLOW!!! I can't stand it!"

Shockwaves POV

Her head and tail swung back and forth with frustration. I was walking too slow? I couldn't walk any faster than that, I was really trying my hardest to keep up with her without having to run. But it seems as though she was too energetic to walk. She snorted, swinging her head near me as smoke curled out of her nostrils. Suddenly, she opened her mouth, and grabbed me. I thought she was gonna eat me alive, but that would be illogical. She picked me up, and swung her head to the base of her neck, where her shoulders met. She carefully put me down between the huge spikes of armour. I sat, blinking my one eye, with complete shock. She had just picked me up, with her mouth, and put me on her.
"Now, I can walk at my own pace." She said with comfort.
I began to explain where I left off, but she interrupted me.
"May I ask a question?" She asked, turning her head to look at me.
"Of course." I answered.
She was silent for a few seconds then said, "You mentioned another Predacon. Will I get to meet him anytime soon?"
I was surprised that she could remember me saying so.
"As soon as he gets back from tracking and killing WheelJack, then yes, you can." I answered her.
She was quiet for a few moments.
"Does he... know about me?" she asked.
"No. I've never mentioned you to him, and didn't plan to. He wouldn't be able to concentrate on his task of I told him about you. He would rush himself, and therefore possibly ruin the plan."
She understood, and I continued explaining things, where I left off. She walked through the town of Jasper, but watched where she stepped. She picked her way through the streets, her tail brushing debris behind her. She was incredibly light on her feet, her steps made almost no sound, except for the crunching of debris underfoot. I spoke for hours, until Megatron spoke through the comm.
::Shockwave, PredaKing has returned::
I answered back immediately.
::We'll be right there my Liege::
I told the Predafemme what was going on, and started to get off of her shoulders when she suddenly crouched.
"Hold on, Shockwave." She said.
My stomach tightened with horror.
"I-I'll be better off on the ground."
It was too late.
She raised her wings, uncurling them to full length, and jumped. Her legs were powerful, pushing her straight into the air, while I smashed my head on her armoured plates in front of me. We hung motionless for a nanosecond, but with three powerful flaps of her huge wings, we were airborne, and so was my stomach.
I had never been so terrified in my life.
If I wasn't paying attention to trying not to pass out, then I would have looked around. It was surely a magnificent view. It felt like forever when we finally arrived back at the cathedral, and there was PredaKing. He looked guilty of something, the way a dog did after it ate something it knew it shouldn't of. I instantly knew that he had failed, but he immediately "cheered up" when he saw/heard the Predafemme. I felt sick as my creation landed. She was very light on her feet, the cathedral did not tremble, and there was no loud boom as her feet hit it's floor. I stumbled off of her, the intense urge to up chuck my guts was overwhelming, but I kept it all in, and turned to Predaking. He payed no attention to me, instead, he was all over the Predafemme. His optics dilated to a small slit as soon as he inhaled her natural scent, and in return, the Predafemme growled, a low, angry sound. He irritated her, and she wasn't afraid to show it. He ignored her warnings, and continued to "rudely" poke around her. He was inspecting her backside, when suddenly, the Predafemme whipped around, snarling. She snapped her jaws at him, and growled again.
"Get your fucking filthy paws away from me, you brain dead Predacon."
Her thoughts radiated blood red, indicating that she was serious, and if he didn't heed her words, some serious shit was about to go down. He snorted, and continued to ignore her, even after her warning. He was a bit more cautious this time, but before anything bad happened, I interrupted his "greeting."
"Back off, Predaking."
He snorted again, his optics narrowing, but reluctantly pulled away from her. She glared at him, and they made eye contact, but he broke it, and turned to me. I gained my information from him, he had failed. I received that he had been run over, by a large ship. I recognized it, having used the cordial psychic patch. It was Ultra Magnus's ship. It picked up WheelJack, and Bulkhead, plus their pet human. They had gotten away, barely, because Predaking got ran over. The Predafemme snorted with amusement.
"I would have used my brain. If he was inside the ship, I would have smashed the ceiling in, pulled him out, and snapped his neck. It's that simple."
I nodded, she did use her brain.
"Well, right now we have something else to worry about. We can't keep calling you Predafemme, or Predacon. Or whatever else we could call you. We must think of a name. Something... logical."
I turned to Megatron, he shrugged.
"Well," Knockout began. "We could call her Predaqueen, because, you know, he's the he, and she's the she."
The Predafemme stepped forward, explaining why she didn't like it.
"No. A king and queen are always mates, and currently, I don't choose to be this ones mate. I would rather be called Starstrukk."
A low whine sounded from Predaking, he was laughing at her choice. The Predafemme whipped around, towering over the other Predacon, and raised a very large, clawed paw threateningly.
"You dare to laugh at my choice, sparkling?!? I will tear you from limb to limb, and laugh at what your outcome may look like."
Predaking shrunk away slightly, tail between his legs. She was... terrifying, I had to admit, she scared me, but I was in control of them. The Predafemme lowered her paw,
"I didn't think so."
She turned back around, her tail lashing back and forth with the remnants of her anger.
"Then, if that's what you would like to be called, we will call you Starstrukk." Megatron answered for me. Starstrukk bowed her head slightly, accepting her leaders words.

A few hours later.

It was dark, and Predaking was being hassled into his "kennel." I began to relay rules to Starstrukk, as she did not want to be shoved into a kennel much too small for her.
"You may roam, but I will always have a tracking device that shows where you are. You can't remove it, unless you kill yourself. Do NOT interfere with the Autobots, no matter where they are, or what they are doing. Unless their here, you may NOT engage in any combat. And if you do, you WILL inform me first, or Lord Megatron, either one of us would like to know, whether we are sleeping or awake. Stay close to Decepticon territory. I would appreciate it if the Autobots didn't know of your existence yet, so keep a low profile. Don't engage with the humans, the word spreads quickly when people see a large, flying, fire-breathing creature such as you. most importantly, stay OUT of trouble."
She memorized each word I said, and made sure to respect them. Starstrukk was sure to be a very loyal warrior, I was sure of it.
