Ex-con

Beginnings

A silver jet, surrounded by four purple jets. Starscream. They transformed and landed hard on the ground in front of them.

"Commander starscream." He was surprised to see him here. But also glad. So they were going to rescue him after all!

Starscream slowly started forward. Glaring at bulkhead for a moment. "Consorting with the enemy breakdown?"

He turned towards bulkhead. "But bulkhead got me out of there." He smiled at him thankfully. Bulkhead looked at him with surprise. Then he turned towards his commander.

"Many spark felt thanks autobot." He stopped right in front of breakdown and looked up at him sharply. "Now destroy him."

He turned again to look at the autobot that had just saved him. He had risked his spark to save someone. Not just someone, him. The con that only earlier today was about the smash his head in without a hesitation.

Bulkhead took a step back and raised his arms slightly, ready to defend himself.

"But he-"

"Do you plan on joining their ranks anytime soon! No! Then be done with it already!" He screamed as he overly dramatically twitched his wings.

He looked over at bulkhead, then back at his commander.

"But Starscream, he saved me. I'll let him go this time."

"Oh?" He glared at the autobot. "So have you officially gone soft or what? You think this autobot cares about you? He only saved you because he didn't want humans to have our technology! Don't let his false kindness fool you!"

"Look I'm tired. Let's just go." He frowned at the commander, and the commander frowned back. They both seemed to forget about the autobot standing only inches away.

"You know Megatron didn't even want to save you! This was all my doing! Without me you'd be scrapped."

"That can't be true." But as soon as he said it he realized it most certainly was true. It was probably the fact that he was so easily captured by humans. Megatron saw him as weak.

"You owe me! And now your not even following basic instructions!" He growled. "Vehicons! Destroy the autobot!"

The vehicons started powering up their weapons. Breakdown took a hard step infront of bulkhead, making the ground shake a little. Surprising everyone, even himself.

"Urgh! You imbecile!" Starscream shouted. He motion a threat to hurt him with his claws. "What did those humans do to you? You never used to question anything!"

Breakdown transformed his hand into his hammer. A way of telling starscream that his claws didn't scare him.

"Vehicons! Fire at breakdown too!" They hesitated for a minute, with their blasters in the air. "Well!" Starscream shouted.

Their aim was directed at him now. Starscream darted at breakdown, but he brought his hammer down, smashing starscreams side. He screamed. Bulkhead brought his own blasters and began firing at the vehicons from behind breakdown.

The roaring of faraway engines rang out into the air between the fighting.
The other autobots had arrived. They transformed and aimed their weapons firing at the cons. All the cons.

Breakdown fell over from an unexpected shot in the side from one of the two sides. A painful sting of pain came from the wound. He grabbed it, and felt energon spill out from the wound. Great.

Starscream made a grumbly gurgling noise. "Retreat!" He screamed, and all the jets flew into the sky.

Breakdown opened his eyes, seeing them all running.
