"YOU?!"
They both shouted at the same time.

Starscream lowered his null rays and pinched the rear of his-nonexistent-nose.
"Of course!"
Starscream muttered, frustrated.
"Whenever I think something or someone new causes this. You, Autobot scum, have to prove me wrong!"

Arcee rolled her optics at Starscream,
"It wasn't us who blew up your cave"

"Oh! So, you just happen to be here at the exact time and place?"
Starscream crossed his servos before pausing, realizing what Arcee had just said.
"Us?"

Somehow, SmokeScreen walked out from behind Arcee.
"Hey! Remember me, Screamer?"

Starscream scowled,
Of course!
There's more than one!
There's always more than one!

"Enough of this!"
Starscream raised his null rays once again and shot at the two Autobots.

Arcee dodged the shots, narrowly while SmokeScreen ran towards Starscream, using the phase-shifter.

Starscream jumped out of the way before SmokeScreen could lunge at him.

The fight was slowly brought out of the cave, with Starscream dodging both of the Autobots.
His wings were still useless, though his thrusters were still functioning well, that's how he flew here anyways—

His thrusters.

Starscream lifted his pede and roundhouse kicked the side of SmokeScreen's helm.

As predicted, SmokeScreen hurriedly deactivated the phase-shifter and grabbed Starscream's pede before it could hit him, holding it away from his helm.

Starscream ignited his thruster, the blast burning SmokeScreen's servo and half of his faceplates.

SmokeScreen winced in pain and his grip loosened, Starscream took this opportunity to actually roundhouse kick SmokeScreen away.

SmokeScreen was knocked to the side, crashing into an already broken tree.

Arcee charged for Starscream until something knocked her to the side.

Starscream stared at SlipStream tackling down Arcee, scratching each other's paint and gathering dust clouds around them with grunts, surprised.

SlipStream managed to pin Arcee on her front, her servos held behind her, the Seeker let out a few pants and said playfully, "Gotcha' !"

Arcee struggled against SlipStream, muttering a few colorful cuss words at the Seeker.

SlipStream merely chuckled at her attempts of escape while Skywarp and Thundercracker appeared next to SmokeScreen, they grabbed him by the shoulder blades and dragged him next to Starscream.

'Interesting'
Megatron thought to himself, watching all the seekers follow Starscream like Insecticons drawn to a light source.

The Seekers managed to hold both Autobots, back to back and tying them both up (not before knocking both of their helms together and then tying them).

Megatron stepped closer towards the Autobots, giving a pat on Starscream's shoulder blade as if to say 'good job'. The Seeker barely cast him a glance.
"Destroying one of our Resources, Very clever of you"
Megatron loomed over the two, his shadow consuming them.
