Chapter 4: It Can't Be...
(StarScream POV)
I walked away from the two Decpticons and the former Autobot. I heard giggling behind me and I guessed that the Newbie was making fun of me. Why must they always do that? After turning the corner I stopped and spoke to Breakdown through the comm.
=="Breakdown, keep an optic on SoundWave, who's keeping an optic on Knockout, who's keeping an optic on Dragonfly,"== I said.
After a moment he responded, =="That makes no sense."==
I sighed and said,=="Just do it and report back to me at 2300!"==
=="Yes, Lord StarScream."==
Finally. I walked to the bridge and stood there. Steve ran in behind me and called,"Lord StarScream!" I turned to face him and asked,"Yes?"
"The prisoners went through ShockWave's SpaceBridge right before blowing it up. ShockWave was not accounted for after the explosion," he answered.
What? No! The SpaceBridge! Oh and ShockWave. I should show some concern.
"Oh, how sad that ShockWave is one with the AllSpark."
Time to go to Earth. Cybertron is dead and we know the planet that the Prime is hiding Auotbots on. "SoundWave, set course for this 'Earth.'"
Oh, right, he isn't here.
=="SoundWave. Report to the bridge."==
A few moments later there he was. "Set coordinates for the planet called 'Earth.'"
SoundWave set the coordinates for earth and off we went. "So," I questioned. "How did it go with the Autobot?" SoundWave played a video of you things had gone.

(SoundWave POV)
I walked through a hall and stopped at a room. I opened it and motioned Dragonfly inside. As she stepped in, the light came on revealing a small room with only a berth and a door that lead to a washroom. "Thank you," she said. I nodded my helm and started to leave. "Just one question," she added. "Can you give this to Knockout for me?" she asked holding out a charm with a ParadoxTriangle on it. I nodded my helm again and took the charm. I walked out of the room and the door slid closed behind me.

(StarScream POV)
SoundWave held out the charm and I took it.
No, It can't be...
"I knew there was something going in between those two," I stated. "Now, I just need to put an end to it." I grinned. I gave the charm back to SoundWave and said,"Give it to him. It's a worthless trinket."
SoundWave left and I started thinking.
What does the Medic have that I don't? What could she possibly use him for? Maybe. Maybe if I got her to like me...
I shivered.
Why do I need her?! Why do I need Knockout?! Breakdown could do it. Oh wait. Breakdown's an idiot.'
A shrill scream snapped me out of my thoughts.
I ran out the door and as I got closer to where the scream came, I realized that it was near where Dragonfly's room was. "Great." I thought out loud. I was about to knock on the door when Knockout came running out with Dragonfly in his arms. "Out of the way!" he called. I looked at Dragonfly and saw that her left arm was missing.
Knockout ran to the MedBay and placed Dragonfly on the berth that was in the room. "How did this happen?!" I exclaimed. No answer. Knockout was inducing stasis on Dragonfly, but she stopped him. "It was a Scraplet," she whispered. Then the dropped into a deep recharge.
Everybody's optics widened and all helms turned to me.
What do they expect me to do? Oh, right.
"Well, let's find this Scraplet already!" I shouted. Then the lights went out. "COME ON! Really?" I yelled. SoundWave tapped my shoulder and pulled up a map of the ship on his screen. A circle appeared around where the wires for the lights were and another around where the wires were for the Warship's engines. They were close.
Scrap! What to do, what to do...
We needed someone small and the eight legged wretch had gone rouge. I turned to face Dragonfly.
Could I really trust her? Was she even up to it?
"Knockout, how soon can you have her arm patched up?" I asked. "Well," he started. "If I have an arm to match her that wouldn't take long, but if I don't that would cause some difficulties. Why? What are you planning?"
"No reason. Just check for that arm, will you?" I ordered. She would have to use hand weapons, otherwise she could damage the systems.
Oh no! Her T-Cog!
"Scrap.." I muttered to myself. "What's wrong?" Knockout questioned. "Uh, nothing, nothing. Just thinking aloud." I answered. He shrugged and went into the side room the spare parts are stored in.
After a few moments he shouted,"Aha! Found one. This girl is going through parts like I've never seen before." I was standing over her, and staring at her, thinking how we were to get a T-Cog for her. "Um, do you two need a moment together?" Knockout asked while smiling. I scowled at his thought of me liking the girl. I glanced at SoundWave when he beeped to see a laughing face on his screen.
That was it. "Alright, I'm calling it a night," I started. "And you should too, Knockout." Knockout held up the arm and said,"I need to attach her new appendage before she wakes up." I rolled my optics and turned to SoundWave. "Do you mind stayi-" I was cut off by Breakdown. "I'll stay." he said.
"Fine, fine." I said. I walked out and I was on the way to my room when I passed Dragonfly's room. I stopped and opened the door. I peered in and on the floor next to the berth I saw a SquareParadox charm. The charm she gave Knockout did mean something to her. "Humm.. It can't be.." I walked around the room and saw a small hole in the wall just bigger then the size or a Scraplet. My optics widened and I dashed out of her room and into my own.
I was still panting as I reached my room. I looked for holes in the wall and sat on my berth. I pulled a charm out of a compartment in my left arm. I held the CircleParadox in my hand.
Why does she have the same SquareParadox charm as ShineArrow did?
