{Prologue}
Jealousy
———————————

'It's not right.'

'It's just not right.'

Megatron thought as he stared at Starscream and Soundwave at the other side of the control room,
Starscream hasn't tried to assassinate Megatron for nearly a whole Metacycle and surprisingly, Megatron doesn't like it.

Not because it leaves Megatron uneasy and watches his back for almost a whole groon, worrying for nothing.
No, that's at the back of his processor right now.
It's because...!

...

Actually Megatron doesn't know why it makes him feel uneasy,

It might be the fact that Soundwave is actually working with Starscream and they haven't fought over something (or rather Starscream fighting over something while Soundwave just stands quietly waiting for him to finish) otherwise, Megatron doesn't know why he feels uneasy.

So far, The whole fraction has been doing well.
Starscream is leading the seekers well,
Soundwave has brought Energon rations higher.
Everything seems to be going well...for now, it's only a matter of time until Starscream tries to kill Megatron again.

Megatron sat still on his thrown, secretly staring at Starscream and Soundwave at the corner of his optic.
They seemed to be talking over something.
Soundwave nodded his helm once, agreeing with Starscream (that's a surprise).
Starscream turned his helm towards Soundwave and gave him a small smile, making Megatron feel a bit anxious.

"Soundwave, Starscream, Report"
Megatron said as he stood up from his throne and walked over towards the two mechs at the other side of the room.

Starscream looked over at Soundwave for a second, Soundwave looking back and giving a small nod of approval than back to Megatron, making things more uneasy for Megatron.

"Lord Megatron, We've found an energy signal that crashed landed not too long ago. We believe it's another Cybertronian."

Starscream said as Megatron's optics narrowed, intrigued.
"Is that, so?"

"The landfall is large enough to fit two or three Cybertronians, The Autobots haven't discovered it...Yet.Soundwave and I agree on investigating the landfall."

Megatron's gaze shifted towards Soundwave, questioningly.
Soundwave, in question, shrugged slightly and nodded once.
Megatron's optics narrowed, The two have never agreed on something in their entire existence.
Megatron turned away from the two and waved his servo in dismissal.
"Very well, Equip a squadron among twelve to twenty Mechs. If it's a trap, Don't come back empty-handed."

Megatron felt his faceplates form a scowl as he felt Starscream grin in utter glee at Soundwave.

———————————

Starscream, Soundwave and fifteen Vehicons arrived at the landfall within a few minutes.

The ship was dented and scratched from it's landfall, leaving a few flames here and there.

Soundwave stopped the Vehicons from getting any closer to the ship by raising his servo to block one.
Starscream however, seemed mesmerized or...confused to see the ship.
