“What do you mean you're going to Earth? What about me?” Thrust asked in his calm yet cold voice as he kept his arms crossed across his chest. He was standing to the right of Megatron as the leader was standing up from his so-called throne.

“As I just said Thrust, I am taking Starscream, Cyclonus and Demolisher to earth with me.” Megatron repeated as he stepped down and in front of Thrust, tilting his his downward to look the aerialist right in the optics. “That was no ordinary signal that we intercepted Thrust. That signal may very wll lead to a power that was ripped from Decepticon hands many ages ago. A power that could shift the tide of war in our favor. You, Thurst, are staying here because you are capable of leading my forces in my absence. These three are coming with me because they have just enough competance between the three of them to get the job done.”

“What are you talking about Megatron!?! You know damn well that I am more tha...”

“Shut up Starscream!” Megatron fiercely interjected, leaving Starscream to stumble over his last words with a look of dumbfoundedness and hatred. Megatron turned around and marched over to Starscream, putting his hand around Starscream's throat and lifting him off the ground. He brought Starscream's wide-eyed stare level with his. “If you weren't too busy trying to further your own power and focused on the tasks given to you, you would have your desired power by now! Now,” Megatron calmed his voice as he released Starscream and let him fall to the ground. “Be an obedient lackey and shut up. Cyclonus!”

“Yes Megatron?” the helicopter robot responded as he stood to attention. As he did, Megatron turned his back on Starscream and walked towards Cyclonus. As he did, that hatred came over Starscream's face again, but it was soon replaced by a wicked, knowing grin. He pushed himself off the ground and stood up, crossing his arms across his chest as he put that incident on the back burner, for now, and focused on the matter at hand.

“Activate the warp jump. We're going to Earth.” Megatron came to a stop in front of a large platform, large enough to fit a dozen or so Cybertronians. Slowly the platform began to glow as the system warmed up. Finally it light up to it's fullest extent, signifying that is was ready. Cyclonus, Demolsiher and Starscream stepped up behind Megatron ready to take the jump. Megatron took a step forward to step up onto the platform, but came to a stop and looked straight ahead.

“Don't think that I have forgotten about you Shayd.” Megatron spoke in a tone loud enough to acknowledge his last general without looking to him.”You will stay here as well, under the command of Thrust, but you will have your own task to fufill.” Megatron's tone lowered a bit, but the words were strong and sharp. “Keep an eye on the Autobots at all times, but you have only one primary objective. Find the intended target of that signal and seize it, whatever it may be. Gather the Seekers and go.”

“As you wish Megatron.” I said as I gave a small nod from my crouched position on the rafters. I stood and dropped to the floor, landing in a similar crouched position, my right hand steadying my. I rose to my feet and watched as the four Decepticons stepped onto the platform and suddenly phased from this place. A smirk crept onto my face as I turned on my heel and walked towards the exit. As I came to the exit, I began to push the two large doors open with my hands but stopped and turned my head. As I did, I saw the fire burning in Thrust's optics as he turned his attention away from the warp platform to me. I smiled and walked out of the room, leaving Thrust to his dreams and himself. What he dreamt about, I don't know. But one thing is for sure. The war was on.
