Prologue: The Scheme Begins…

"I'm sick of your whining and treachery, Starscream!"

"It's not my fault your CPU is too old to process simple logic! Face it: you need me, oh so wise Megatron. Without me, you'd just dig holes and hope that the Autoscum would just fall in!"

*Smack*

"Anyone would make a better second in command than you! At least then we wouldn't be such a laughing stock!"

"Personally, I think they're laughing at you. And please; anyone else would have offlined vorns ago... Ah! Don't hit me!"

"Even a damn Autobot would make a better commander. I wonder if one is willing to defect…"

"Those Autoslaggers? They wouldn't know their afts from their heads! Have you fried what is left of your microscopic CPU?"

"I repeat: ANYONE would be better than YOU!"

*Fusion cannon blast*

"Anyone would be better than me? Those Autofraggers? Megatron has finally lost it! The last nanometer of sanity and logic remaining to him has gone, lost through time! I'm the only thing holding this army together. If that slagger would just stop and listen to me then this war would have ended vorns ago, but nooooo; he has to play alpha leader with Optimus Prime all the time!"

Thundercracker couldn't help but let out a huff of air; Starscream had been ranting on and off for hours now. He'd randomly stormed into their quarters and started ranting and pacing- scared the living hell out of Thundercracker and Skywarp at first, but now they were just plain bored and annoyed.

"Awww, come on Scream'. Forget about Megatron," whined Skywarp, slumped over his chair.

"How could you say that? He acts like I have no purpose!"

"Well... Starscream, sometimes you can be a bit... overwhelming?"

Starscream stared at Thundercracker, optics widening then narrowing.

"Overwhelming? More like a drama femme." Thundercracker gave Skywarp the look that screamed shut-up-you-said-too-much-again-Starscream's-gonna-slag-you.

"You... you agree with that slagger?" screeched Starscream, causing Thundercracker and Skywarp to cover their audios. "Traitors! My own trine thinks that-."

Starscream then cut off, optics widening, and then a small, eerie smirk fell upon his lips.

'Uh oh,' thought Thundercracker and Skywarp. That look on Starscream's face could only mean that he was scheming something.

"...Very well, if that's how you feel, then..."

Starscream did a 180 degree turn and walked out of the room, letting the doors slide shut behind him. Silence filled the room as both black and blue seekers stared at the door their trine leader had left through.

"We're slagged, aren't we, TC?"

"Yes, Warp... Utterly slagged."

"Think that someone else would make a superior second in command to me, huh? I'll show them!"
