Starscream A Transformers Story

Now It's Personal

Starscream woke up in a cell inside Liege Maximo's ship. Then Lockdown came in and opened the cell, pulled him out and started dragging the seeker down the hall of the ship.

Starscream would have fought with him but they had put him in stasis cuffs to keep him from escaping. Lockdown continued to lead him down the hallway till they came to the main room on the ship where Liege Maximo was waiting for them.

"Welcome Starscream." Said Liege Maximo. But the seeker just frowned at him. "I need the Matrix of Leadership to truly rule Cybertron and your going to tell me where you put it." "Now where is it?"

"Like I'm really gonna tell you that." Starscream said to him. "I'm not about to tell you where the Matrix is." "You want to take over Cybertron just like Megatron and so many others did myself included I'm sorry to say." "Megatron started the war that once doomed the planet." "You mind controlled half the population to make them fight and kill each other."

"Megatron started a war and you started something that might as well be a war." Starscream added. "But what you did was worse because at least the Autobots and Decepticons got to choose which side they were going to fight on." "You just mind control have the planet so they don't know what their doing they weren't given a choice."

"I don't care about some random bots ripping each other to scrap I just want the Matrix." Liege Maximo growled. "And your going to tell me where it is!" He added bending one of the seeker's wings causing Starscream to bite back a cry of pain.

"Never." The seeker hissed at him. Then Liege Maximo smacked Starscream across the face.

Then Liege Maximo took on the shape of Megatron. "I know who you fear the most Starscream now tell me where the Matrix is or I'll rip both your wings off then beat you to scrap!"

"No I won't tell you because you know what I fear even more then I do Megatron?" Starscream told him. "You winning and what will happen to Cybertron and possibly Earth and the rest of the universe if you do."

"So go ahead rip off my wings, beat me to scrap, pull out my T-cog, kill me for all I care, do whatever you want to me and I still won't tell you where the Matrix of Leadership is." Starscream said to him.

Then Liege Maximo changed back to himself while clapping his servos. "I'm very impressed Starscream I heard you were a coward in the war look who got brave." "I don't think anything I could do to you will make you reveal where you put the Matrix."

"That's right." Starscream said to him. "Your just wasting your time."

"But I have someone who I think might persuade you." Liege Maximo told him darkly. "Bludgeon bring him in." He said over his com-link.

Then Bludgeon entered carrying the limp and unmoving form of a mech who he through to the floor.

"No." Starscream said quickly identifying who the injured transformer was.

His whole body had been ransacked, he was covered in dents, scratches, and cracks and leaking energon from the corner of his mouth as well as some that was dripping down the side of his faceplates that was coming from a wound on the side of his forehead. Starscream had never seen him this badly damaged before but knew right away who it was.

"Take a good look." Liege Maximo told the seeker.

"Knock Out!" He cried seeing his best friend laying motionless on the floor seriously injured. Starscream couldn't tell if the Austin Martin was dead or alive. "What have you done to him?!"

"He was in a fight with one of my men they banged each other up pretty good but he actually came out of top and killed Sideways but for his credit Sideways did manage to weaken him for us just enough that all it took was one punch from me and a stomp to the helm from Bludgeon and he was down for the count." Liege Maximo told him.
