Chapter Text
‘ Blast it all!’ Starscream cursed in his thought, getting his T-cogs taken away was the most dreadful state of it all. If it wasn’t for that stupid yellow scout he would have run away with the T-cogs in his servo!
It was utterly humiliating, he looked pathetic without a cog to fly or yet, fight. He couldn't go back to the nemesis, he would be turned into scrap. Despite that he’ll be beaten by megatron if he ever goes back..
Progressing his way to the harbinger, where he has taken shelter to. His whole body aches, sore from the outcome. Wheezing in pain as he takes each step forward to the harbinger.
By the time he went inside, he could finally breathe in relief without the sight of the enemy. But, the gnawing feeling of paranoia is catching up to him, sending a shudder upon his whole body. Even his wings flutter a bit.
‘It can’t be,’ he shook off his fear. ‘ No one knows that I'm here..’
He decided the best course of action was to rest, after all his body aches from pain. He lies down on the floor, his back pressed against the wall. As he ready himself for a recharge.

“Carrier?..” a soft voice called out to him, which caused him to waken. Starscream rubbed his optics and turned over to see his little one.
“Carrier? “ The little sparkling called again half fatigue and half awake from his nap, “ What’s vos like? “ He asked.
“What’s vos like?..hmm..oh a lot of wonderful things, “ he grinned over the memories. “ Vos has the highest tower for seekers, of course like us. We all fly all around the cities. It was beautiful back there..I remember your two uncles floating to the skies by my side..” he sighed happily.
The sparkling’s amber optics sparkled as he tried to imagine what the city of vos was like. “ Huh, It sounds amazing.. When can I fly like them? With my wings?..” He asked his carrier.
Starscream chuckled and printed a kiss on his helm, “ Soon, my little star. Soon you’ll rule over the sky..”

He jolted out of sleep by noises coming from the other side. He froze still to listen to any sound.
‘It seems to be from outside of the harbinger..’ he thought as he scowls. He groaned in pain as he took more time to bring his wrecked body out of the floor.
As he took each step that ended with a groaning of pain and wheezing. He took himself into the console room, the screen pinged of a certain location that pinpointed what the sound came from.
To his dismay and disbelief, it revealed a young seeker. She was almost shorter than him, her painted color was of similar color of crimson,white, and blue. A tricolor one at that. And a strange worn silk that’s of human’s produce of scarf but more bigger uses for cybertronian-like. Not to mention about the huge sword attached behind her back.
Her structure was of grace, even the way she walked cautiously. Swaying her hips. Starscream has never seen a seeker of his own, for so many millenia that he thought that he was the only seeker left in this pitiful planet.
He thought of coming out of the harbinger and confronting her but thought better of her, in fact she could be a threat to him even when they don’t know each other.
He marched out of the ship, slowly out of her zone. Before hiding and watching what she was doing in front of his shelter. She was only looking around for any signs and coming closer to examine.
He slowly loaded his null ray, and quiet. But it was too late as he didn’t notice that his pede stepped on a stick which made it crack.
The femme seeker quickly looked over where Starscream was hiding, and took out her small gun. ‘ A energy wave gun??, scrap!’ He cursed silently and suddenly yelp out loud as the shot blasted through, and it unluckily fired a strong energy blast next to him as it haven’t did to his body.
“ Show yourself!, “ the young femme seeker snarled as she held her gun pointed to him, threateningly.
Starscream trembled, and obeyed her order. Stepping out of the way and revealing himself. The femme stopped still and pulled her small down a bit, and yet still wary of him. she took a glance at his frame and analyze, which have him nervous and tried his best to looked normal.
“ Is–this your territory?, “ she asked. ‘ the irony of her to just almost fired at me and asked if that’s my zone..’ he nodded and stepped a bit closer and grinned in a way to disguise his displeasure. “ Obviously, why else would I be spying on you?, “ he purred. Walking around her as she also turns around to meet him as well.
“ In fact..i haven’t had myself meet another seeker of my own. It's been so long..” He tried not to scowl at the memory. She raised her brow ridge and nodded, agreeing with his logical statement. “ Is it true, what they say, that there’s been a war going on?..here on earth?..” she murmured. “ Unfortunately, the Decepticon and the Autobots have been in a quite ongoing conflict for many long..” he sighed. “ Besides, what are you doing out there on this planet?”
“ When I was young, my carrier shoved me inside the pod that could send me far– far away..back then I didn’t know what’s happening until I found out..” She uttered, expressly sad.
Starscream’s optics widen “ Your carrier put you inside the pod while there was a war happening?, I’m sorry to say that.. But your carrier could possibly be deactivated due to the situation..” he said. And she scowled at him, snarling. “ It can’t be! I still feel his bond through my spark!..” she shrieked, causing him to wince.
“ I didn’t mean to be overly offensive, I'm just stating the fact that it could be possible that your carrier may be into the well of the allspark!, considering that there has been a war going on and it kills dozens of all..” his words shaken her, as she looked down on the ground.
“ Say– If we helped each other, I'll give you a supply and a home and you’d do what I ask of you?..” he offered her. Her faceplate twitched into shock and disbelief. “ Really? That'll be amazing! Thank you!, “ she unexpectedly hugged him and departed from him.
He was stunned with his derma open wide and quickly he closed them. He guided her to the harbinger, not trusting himself to speak more. (And ignoring the soft longing feeling in his sparks which aches for more affection..)
She walked with him, gleefully. “ I’m stellarstorm. I haven’t asked for your designation, and I feel sorry for pulling my gun on you– jeez how rude of me! “ she rumbled. He smiled amusedly at her. “ Starscream, no you’ve got nothing to apologize for. If I were in your shoes, I would be wary..” The young femme ‘ Stellarstorm ‘ grinned with him.
Both of the seekers went together, admitting to themself that they have made a quiet allie out of each other..
