Gargan: I'm still so sad.

Me: You'll be fine by the end.

Gargan: I hope so.


Episode 100: Claws Of A Hero Part 3

Starscream could not believe what he had just heard. Did Bumblebee just say he was leaving Iacon? Why? Especially at a time like this. Bumblebee finished packing some things into the suitcase and turned to Starscream who looked dumbfounded.

"You're kidding right, this is some kind of joke that you're using at the wrong time right?" Starscream said tapping his claws together.

Bumblebee had a serious look on his face and sighed.

"No Starscream, I've been meaning to tell you guys earlier about how me and Breakaway were planning to move later this week to Crystal City with Ser-ket, Ripclaw and the Insecticons." Bee explained.

"But Bumblebee, you can't go now. He have to search for Nemesis Prime tomorrow. Why are you packing your things now? " Starscream asked.

Bumblebee clenched his fists tightly and his anger rose a bit. It was about time he told someone the main reasons. He walked up closer to Starscream and yelled.

"BECAUSE OF THIS SHIT THAT ALWAYS HAPPENS! EVER SINCE I CAME HERE, IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT CRAZY, CREEPY AND DANGEROUS STUFF! IT STRESSES ME OUT, I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR THIS! I CAME HERE HOPING FOR SOME PEACE AND QUIET!" Bee yelled.

"IT'S NOT OUR FAULT FOR ALMOST OF IT! YOU'VE BARELY COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BEFORE!"

"BECAUSE I ALWAYS BELIEVED THE NEXT DAY THINGS WOULD GET BETTER, BUT I WAS WRONG! I JUST CAN'T KEEP DOING ALL THIS!"

Starscream knew something had to be wrong with Bee. He's never lashed out at anyone like this before. He could understand the stress of dealing with all the stuff that had happened since he moved here. But Starscream knew they had to focus on the present and get Shockwave back.

"Bumblebee, we've all been stressed out but we keep going towards the future and get over the past. Don't you want Shockwave back?"

"Who doesn't?"

"Then I need all the help I can get on this mission. That includes you Bee. You need to stop being afraid, and help out. And I won't hesitate to make you join us." Starscream sneered.

Bumblebee and Starscream entered a long tense staredown before Bee spoke up.

"No! I'm not trying to go anywhere near that big killer. I can't fight that guy and I'm not trying to end up like Shockwave. You can't make me, I'm leaving to go hide somewhere he'll never find me! I DON'T WANT TO BE APART OF THIS ANYMORE!"

"SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ABANDON YOUR FRIENDS?"

"NO! I'M JUST ESCAPING THE SITUATION!"

Starscream extended his claws and his Predacon side took full effect.

"You're not going anywhere!" Starscream growled, his sharp teeth and fangs bearing.

Bumblebee was taken back by this, Starscream was actually trying to block from leaving his own house? He had to be joking.

"Starscream, move! I can't risk my life anymore. I just can't!" Bee said.

"YOU'RE HELPING! WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! MY PREDACON SIDE GIVES ME EXTRA STRENGTH AND I WILL GLADLY BEAT THE SCRAP OUT OF YOU IF I HAVE TO RIGHT NOW!" Starscream snarled getting in a fighting stance.

"NO! GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Bumblebee got in his own fighting stance.

"MAKE ME!" Starscream motioned Bee to come at him.

Bumblebee charged Starscream and the two get into a large fight and it was serious and brutal. Bumblebee was a pretty good fighter, but Starscream was a lot stonger especially with the added Predacon strength. Starscream landed punch after punch to Bee's face and chest while Bee struggled to hold his own. Starscream scratched Bee's chest, back and doorwings as they tussled around the room. At one point Starscream headlocked Bee and pressed him against the wall.

"GIVE UP BEE! YOU'RE JUST MAKING THIS WORSE FOR YOURSELF!"

"FRAG OFF STARSCREAM!"

Bumblebee bites Starscream's arm who then retaliates by taking a bite at Bee's neck cables but not cutting them. Bee yelps in pain before Starscream throws him into another wall. Before Bee could react, Starscream rushes him and punches him hard in the chest, making Bee bend down. Then Starscream slams both fists onto his head sending the kid down. Bumblebee grabs Starscream's high heels and makes him trip and fall to the ground. Bumblebee lunges on top of him and the two wrestle around. Starscream legs locks Bee in and flips them over where he starts punching Bee multiple times.

"ENOUGH OF THIS SCRAP BEE! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BADLY THIS TOWN NEEDED YOU! YOU SAVED LIVES, CHANGED MINDS, HELPED PEOPLE! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH MANY CRAZY STUFF, AND WE'RE STILL HERE!"

"BUT SHOCKWAVE ISN'T!"

"BUT HE WILL BE!"

Starscream untangled his legs from Bee, picked him up tossed him into another wall. Bumblebee staggered trying to keep fighting, Starscream ran at him and gave him one last punch before just staring at him. Bee tried to keep himself standing as he also stared at Starscream.

"EITHER YOU HELP...OR ELSE!" Starscream threatened.

He showed emphasis by stabbing his claws into the wall right beside him and scraping down. Bumblebee finally whispered something.

"Fine." Bee said.

Then he slipped to the ground tired and very sad. So sad he started to cry which Starscream slightly expected.

"Now what? Sad because I just kicked your ass and knocked some sense into you?" Starscream said.

"No...I'm just scared alright. I'm scared about what's gonna happen to us." Bee cried.

Starscream sat down beside him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Bumblebee, we're all scared. But I know we can do it. When I was exploring Shockwave's house, I saw him as a vision, plus Alpha Trion, two of his siblings. Heck, even Primus and Unicron showed up. They said this is mainly a test for me to show my true self. And if we beat Nemesis Prime, we gain Shockwave. Plus, Oynx gave me red energon, allowing me to travel at hyperspeed and freeze time." Starscream explained.

"Mabye me and Soundwave could use that." Bee said.

"Perhaps, Bee you know I only did what I did because I care right?"

"I understand...I guess I did overreact."

"Be seriously, you're moving?"

"Yeah, I found some great opportunities over in Crystal City. I just want to move on ahead, my time here was more of an...insane vacation."

"I see, well, we'll talk about it more after Nemesis Prime it finished. But first, let's go get you patched up."

The next morning, everyone has spread out throughout Iacon looking for Nemesis Prime, but it wasn't just Iacon. Kaon, Tyger Pax, Tarn, Vos, Slaughter City and even Crystal City were on the lookout. Omega Supreme and Trypticon flew around Cybertron while Metroplex searched from the ground. Starscream, Soundwave, Bumblebee, Breakaway, Predaking and Warapth worked together to search all over the city. The Combaticons and Dinobots called up friends they had in other cities for any clues.

Breakdown reopened his bar hoping people who stopped in would know anything. Blackout and Grindor worked with Powerglide and Sky Lynx in the air. The enforcers got in contact with other enforcers across the planet. Possible sighting photos covered the media forcing Nemesis Prime's plans to halt and now he had to lay low. The main 6 mechs met back up at the fence with no info.

"Man, he must be really good at hiding out!" Soundwave said.

"Yeah, now what?" Breakaway asked.

Ravage and Lazerbeak arrived looking tired.

"We searched so many places...even that dreaded graveyard, never thought I'd ever have to see that again."Ravage sighed.

"I still can't believe it's still taking Ratchet and Wheeljack so long to make that cybermatter." Predaking growled.

"GUYS!" Came a yell.

They saw Ser-ket and Ripclaw running over looking excited.

"Whoa whoa ladies what's the problem?" Starscream asked.

"We've found him, he's hiding out in Crystal City." Ser-ket said.

Bee's optics widened...the same place he wanted to go?

"How do you know?" Bee asked.

"Our friend Cheetor lives up there, and he spotted him hiding around in a warehouse. It's honestly the last city anyone would think he would hide at." Ripclaw said.

"Excellent...and now we need to get up there quickly. How far is it?" Soundwave asked.

"Pretty far, by the Well of AllSparks." Bee said.

"We could take Shockwave's spacebridge." Warpath suggested.

"You know how to work it?" Breakaway asked.

"Of course, I'm his best friend, I know how to do a lot of stuff down in that lab." Warpath said.

Luckily Starscream had injected a dose of the red energon and thought this would be a good time to test it out. He had already told everyone about Shockwave's spirit and meeting a few of the Thirteen.

"Before we go, I'd like to test out this red energon." Starscream said.

He bolted down the street in a silver blur only to come back 3 seconds later.

"Whoa, now that's fast." Breakaway admitted.

"And now the time stopping ability." Starscream said.

He blinked hard and looked around, everyone was stuck in a positon. He then had a sneaky idea. He moved Bee closer to Ser-ket and made their lips touch. When he blinked hard again, everyone began to stagger.

"What just happened?" Soundwave said as Lazerbeak attached back to him.

"I feel funny." Warpath rubbed his head.

"Uh...Bee?" Breakaway said.

"Sis...look." Ripclaw said.

When Bee and Ser-ket realized they were kissing, they broke apart quickly and blushed.

"Sorry about that." Ser-ket giggled.

"Aw it's okay...STARSCREAM!" Bee growled.

"Hehe." Starscream chuckled.

"That...actually makes sense." Predaking thought.

Starscream, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Warpath and Predaking decided to take Shockwave's groundbridge and head over to Crystal City. Ripclaw smirked at Ser-ket who was still blushing as they walked away.

"You want him don't ya? He's available you know." Ripclaw nudged.

"She does!" Ravage added.

Ser-ket turned back to him and growled making Ravage jump and run back home. After he had gone, she smiled...mabye she did. In Crystal City, it was just like Bee had hoped, tall buildings, neat kept streets, seemingly nice people. They had arrived in an alley way at a point where Cheetor would meet them.

"Wow, this is where you wanna move guys?" Soundwave asked.

"Yeah, it's where I can learn to become a famous racer...or other good opportunities." Bee said and Breakaway agreed as they walked around.

"Its look very inviting. Mabye the rest of us shook take a vacation here someday." Starscream said.

"Guys, if you do move...you would come visit right?" Predaking asked.

"Of course we would...you guys are our best friends." Breakaway promised.

They decided to split up, Soundwave and Predaking decided to take the skies while Warpath rode on Predaking. Breakaway, Bumblebee and Starscream decided to stay on the ground. Just then they ran into Cheetor, another Predacon.

"Hey guys you're here much quicker than I thought. Look, the last place I saw him was over by our warehouses, like I'm going to fight him myself." Cheetor informed them.

"Thank you Cheetor, come on guys let's move." Starscream said.

As they continued on, Starscream began to look for something else that could aid them in this mission. That's when they passed by a store selling hoverscooters and a big smirk grew on Starscream's face.

"Starscream, you're not serious are you?" Bee asked.

The next thing he knew, he was riding behind Starscream on the hoverscooter while Breakaway flew beside them. They raced down the street and eventually they found the warehouses.

"Okay, you two go search the warehouses, if you see him, let me know and that cybermatter is as good as ours, including the beating of Nemesis Prime." Starscream clenched a fist.

"Let's do it, but we need to be silent." Breakaway whispered.

Bumblebee and Breakaway snuck around, guns and sniper rifle ready. Inside one of them, Nemesis Prime was in fact hiding in a dark corner covered with a tarp and had a trailer beside him, under the tarp he was analyzing the cybermatter, he had only heard of it but never knew what it actually did. But he would never get a chance. Bumblebee and Breakaway had investigated four warehouses but found nothing. Bee peered into the fourth and saw the trailer and tarp.

"Hmm, that's strange. This is the first one with stuff in it." Bee whispered.

"You think it's him?" Breakaway whispered.

"It's worth a shot."

Bumblebee carefully made his way inside and examined the tarp, he noticed what looked like Optimus' feet partially covered under the top.

"NEMESIS PRIME!" Bee yelled.

Nemesis Prime threw the tarp off him and Bee jumped back.

"ARGH! YOU PESTS WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! WHY WOULD PRIMUS CREATE SUCH PATHETIC SLAG?" Nemesis Prime snarled.

"SAYS THE PERSON WHO WAS CREATED BY CYBERTRONIANS!" Bee retorted.

Breakaway aimed and shot Nemesis Prime in his optics making him drop the container. Suddenly, Starscream raced with the hoverscooter and froze time so he could catch the container and unfroze time.

"ARGH! HOW DID-"

"Sucks to be you Teletraan." Starscream teased.

"IT'S NEMESIS PRIME!"

"Oh really I used to think it was FRAGGING ASSHOLE THE FIRST!" Starscream yelled.

Bumblebee hopped on the hoverscooter and they peeled off with Breakaway catching up with them. Nemesis Prime transformed and chased after them. Starscream activated the red energon and they sped up even faster. Breakaway stayed in the air as he was joined by Soundwave, Predaking and Warpath.

"KA-BLAM! THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD!" Warpath yelled.

Nemesis Prime however was able to keep up with Starscream and Bee who were not used to so much speed.

"THIS IS AWESOME!" Starscream yelled.

"AAAHHHH!" Bee yelled.

"GIVE ME BACK THAT CYBERMATTER! NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, YOU'LL NEVER SEE SHOCKWAVE AGAIN!" Nemesis Prime said.

He chased them through the whole city trying to keep up. They made tight turns and raced downhills. Nemesis Prime came with additional features he never used before, out popped three large saws from the cab and started to rip up the road.

"OH MY GOD IT'S LIKE THE NEWER VERSION OF THE GUN TRUCK FROM SONIC!" Bee yelled.

"THAT'S AWESOME!" Starscream yelled.

"WHAT?"

Mech and Femmes all over the city hid in buildings and news teams followed the chaos. Starscream and Bee kept racing all over town hoping the hoverscooter could handle this speed for awhile. They weaved around the saw blades and leaped and eventually jumped one hill landing on rooftops. Predaking shot fire on Nemesis Prime while Breakaway, Soundwave and Warpath fired their weapons at him.

HONK HONK!

"COMING THROUGH SCRAP HEAPS!" Nemesis said coming closer to the duo.

After a few more jumps, turns and taunts, Star and Bee leaped far enough to pass 4 buildings, they found themselves landing on a roof that twisted them onto one building and ended up racing on the sides of the buildings.

"AAAAHHHH THIS IS SO WEIRD!"

"BUT STILL AWESOME!"

Nemesis Prime put away the saw blades and kicked some rocket boosters and followed them on the sides of the buildings. Just as he was getting close to them...

CRASH!

Nemesis Prime was too focused on them to notice the large building in front of him and hit it causing it to explode, luckily no one was inside at the time. Nemesis slid down the street, but before he could gain control...everything froze, but Starscream hadn't frozen time. There was a white flash that engulfed the whole city...next thing they knew, they were racing right towards the Well Of AllSparks.

"IS THAT?

"Yes it is."

"NO! NO NOT NOW!" Nemesis Prime yelled still skidding.

Before they fall in, they are abruptly stopped. Predaking, Breakaway and Soundwave land and transform while Warpath jumps off Predaking.

"The Well of Allsparks? Why are here?"

Then to their amazement, Alpha Trion, Oynx and Nexus appeared.

"Well done Starscream, you passed the test. You've shown that you do truly care about your friends and have thus been granted back Shockwave." Alpha Trion nodded.

Everyone cheered except for Nemesis Prime who was confused.

"NO! I KILLED HIM! YOU CAN'T JUST-"

"Nexus...please take care of the menace." Alpha Trion said.

"With pleasure." Nexus cracked his knuckles.

"Oh please, you're just a spirit...how could you-"

Nemesis suddenly felt Nexus hand grab his arm.

"We're going have a long, deadly chat. I think Unicron would love to join in as well."

"NO! NO! NNNNOOOOOOO! CURSE YOU CYBERTRONIANS! CURSE YOU SILVER SEEKER! FRAG YOU ALL TO THE PIT!" Nemesis yelled before Nexus dragged down the well where he is eventually killed.

Oynx recognized Predaking and walked up to him. Predaking couldn't believe his optics.

"Oynx Prime? Is that really you?" Predaking said.

"Brother Predaking...one of the first Predacons ever...glad to see you." Oynx said shaking his hand.

"It's an honor."

"You represent me in every way Predaking...which is why you are the King of all Predacons." Oynx said.

Predaking smiled, he never thought this would happen. While they chatted, Alpha Trion looked back at the others.

"Boys...Shockwave awaits...and you won't need this cybermatter anymore, your friends Ratchet and Wheeljack have just finished." Alpha Trion smiled.

This made them happy...they finally got their friend back. Now they were ready to see him in person when they got back to Iacon. Eventually Alpha Trion sent them all back to Iacon, but not just anywhere, they were transported to the Iacon hospital. Suddenly, Wheeljack came running out.

"GUYS, GET IN HERE!" Wheeljack yelled.

When they all arrived, there was a news crew waiting by Shockwave's door. Wheeljack looked excited.

"What's going on?" Bee asked.

"There here to cover Shockwave's recovery. We finally got the cybermatter correct, Starscream, Ratchet wants just you." Wheeljack said.

The news crew wanted to interview the others about everything that happened and what happened to Nemesis Prime. Starscream walked into the room to see Shockwave's gray body still there. Ratchet was holding some kind of ray gun.

"Ratchet was is that?" Starscream asked.

"Just watch." Ratchet said.

He shot a blue ray that was full of the cybermatter energy at Shockwave's body which began to glow. Then...after what seemed like eons, all of Shockwave's injuries magically healed before the red of Shockwave's optic lit up. Starscream's optics widened.

"Shockwave?"

Then...in a moment that Starscream nearly stagger back, Shockwave let out a loud groan. And moved his head...Shockwave was revived.

"SHOCKWAVE! YOU'RE BACK!" Starscream hugged Shockwave who sat up.

"Logically, the cybermatter must have worked. You...you saved me. You all did." Shockwave said.

"And don't worry about Nemesis Prime, he's long gone." Starscream assured.

Shockwave nodded, with his injuries healed, he and Starscream walked out of the room to meet his friends and a surprised news crew. They were filming live and everyone all of Cybertron could see it. Cheers were shouted all over the planet and especially since they knew Nemesis Prime was no more.

"SHOCKWAVE!" His friends yelled.

Shockwave was ambushed by his friends who hugged him tightly.

"How does it feel to be alive again?" Warpath asked.

"It feels...good. I thank you all dearly for reviving me." Shockwave said.

"Thank Starscream the most, he came up with the idea." Bee said.

"Yeah, without him we would have no idea what to do." Soundwave said.

"He's the hero!" Breakaway said.

"A grand one." Predaking added.

"STARSCREAM! STARSCREAM! STARSCREAM!" Everyone chanted.

The camera zoomed closer on Starscream who blushed. That night, Bumblebee and Breakaway went around saying their goodbyes to everyone, which took most of the day. The Combaticons and Dinobots were the only ones who actually cried that they were leaving, but were glad he would visit. They were happy life in Iacon would be back to normal now with Shockwave back. Bumblebee even admitted his new-found love for Ser-ket who eagerly accepted. Down in Shockwave's lab, Hardshell, Kickback, Sharpshot, Ser-ket, Ripclaw and Breakaway had already said their goodbyes and were waiting on Bumblebee. Currently he being hugged by Predaking. Slipstream was back being held by Starscream.

"I'm gonna miss you Bee, please come back to visit." Predaking said not hiding his crying.

"I promise Predaking, always know...that...you're the beast!" Bee reminded him.

"I'm the beast." Predaking said.

Then it was Shockwave's turn.

"It's was all worth the panic and stress to bring you back." Bee said.

"I'm glad, I'll aways be in your debt Bee, and whenever you want to see an invention, just stop on by." Shockwave said handing him an extra groundbridge remote.

"I will." Bee took it and hugged him.

Then it was Soundwave's turn.

"I'll never forget the day you first showed me around when I moved. And all the times you've helped me." Bee said.

"It's my pleasure, you've been a great influence on us and gave us support...and we gave it back." Soundwave said.

After they hugged and Bee patted Ravage and Lazerbeak, it was finally Starscream's turn, his wings were drooped and he had tears running down his face.

"Starscream, you kept me calm and always stood by my side like they did. At first I was scared of you, but, you've proven to be a great friend." Bee said.

Starscream grabbed him into a tight hug and dug his claws in a little.

"Take care Bee, but please don't ever forget us. And visit whenever you can!" Starscream said.

"You can count on it." Bee nodded.

"BEE!" Slipstream said.

"Aw, I'll miss you too Slipstream." Bee said.

Afterwards, the Insecticons and twin sister Predacons walked through the portal Shockwave activated for Crystal City. Breakaway and Bumblebee looked back at the others. They looked at them waving. Breakaway walked through first...then Bumblebee walked through before taking a final glance and disappeared...later...the remaining four stood by the fence.

"Huh...it's almost like...it never happened." Starscream said.

"What do you mean?" Soundwave asked.

"I mean...this is kinda like how it was before Bumblebee moved here." Starscream said.

"Besides us standing here." Shockwave said.

"You know, like Starscream said...we could always visit Crystal City and see him just like he can visit us. So technically, it's like he never left us...he's just nearbye." Predaking said.

"True."

"Yep."

"Logical."

The four remained there for a few more minutes before Predaking broke the silence.

"So guys, what now?" Predaking asked.

"Well...mabye we could catch a movie or something." Shockwave said.

"Ooh, that's a great idea." Predaking said.

"You coming Starscream?" Soundwave asked.

"Nah, you guys go ahead...me and Slipstream were going to take a little walk." Starscream said.

"Okay, see ya later." Shockwave said.

"Yeah, see ya."

When they left, Starscream rocked Slipstream in his arms as they walked down the sidewalk. He could sense Alpha Trion and Oynx looking down on him happy.

"Starscream is destined for great things." Oynx said.

"Yes...and time will tell soon." Alpha Trio nodded.

They disappeared just as Starscream looked in their direction...he smiled. Yep...things were going to get much better...

End of episode 100.
