The next day Starscream was flying now that he was better he wanted to give his jet mode a work out.

But he suddenly picked up a Decepticon signal. So went to investigate it.

Once he arrived at the location he was surprised by what he saw. There was a purple and green seeker femme tied up in energon chains and gagged.

"Slipstream?" He said in shock as he ran over to free her. But suddenly Sandstorm and Cannonball opened fire on him. This was a trap set by the Star Seekers.

Starscream was now trying to fight back having managed to dodge both blast. But then when he dodged another shot from Sandstorm he didn't see Cannonball fire a blast at his spark.

He turned just in time to see it coming but right before it would have hit him he suddenly felt something else slam into him.

It was Slipstream who had managed toss herself into him and they both went off a cliff that was behind Starscream.

As both seekers plummeted to the ground the two Star Seekers got into a punch out with each other over who's fault it was that the two seekers had escaped.

Starscream woke up a while later having been knocked unconscious during the fall. He was in a river that was below the cliff it was shallow enough that he touched the bottom of it.

The first thing he did was look for Slipstream. He quickly spotted her laying in the middle of the river still in the energon chains.

He rushed over to her and got the gag off and saw her optics slowly come back online. They were dim and looked dazed.

"Are you gonna abandon me like you and the other Decepticons did on Junkion?" She asked weakly.

"I'm sorry about that Slipstream it wasn't my idea to leave you there it was Megatron's." He explained. "And that's in the past right now we need to get you some medical attention."

Then he got the energon chains off her and she started to stand up but fell back down and Starscream caught her before she hit.

And saw that she'd lost consciousness. He could tell she was hurt badly by how weak her optics looked and how her voice had sounded. And he could see where she had been shot in the midsection when she push him out of the way of that blast.

"This is Starscream I need an emergency ground bridge and for you to get the medbay ready your gonna have a patient." Starscream said over his com-link.

"No Knock Out it's not me!" He added before a ground bridge appeared. And he took Slipstream through it in a bridal carry.
_ _                                                                  

They wasted no time getting her to the medbay where Ratchet and Knock Out both got to work.

While Starscream stayed in the waiting room. And explained to the others about the trap the Star Seekers had set using Slipstream as bait.

"Until we stop the Star Seekers we'll all have to be extra careful." Arcee said after Starscream finished telling them what happened.

Just then Knock Out came out and told them Slipstream was going to be fine.

Then Starscream was the first one back to see her.
_                                                                   

She was awake and setting up on the berth. When Starscream came in.

"I never thought you'd become an Autobot Starscream." She told him.

"A lots changed since the war." He said to her. "I'm trying to make up for the wrong I did back then."

"You've changed and I think I like the new you." Said Slipstream. "I don't want anything to do with the Decepticons anymore."

"Why don't you join the Autobots then?" Starscream suggested.

"I think I will." She replied. "I want to make up for my past too."

"So how did the Star Seekers get you?" Asked Starscream.

"They found me after Junkion was destroyed I was injured and they took me aboard their ship and fixed me up only to make me their prisoner and just gave me enough energon to keep me alive." She explained.

"Until they took me out there to use as bait to lure another cybertronian there and then you came and you know the rest." She added.

"But why would they just want to kill or capture one cybertronian when they hate all of us?" Starscream asked.

"I don't know but they also have the Requiem Blaster and their planning to use it to destroy Earth then Cybertron." She added. "They created a super weapon with it."

"We have to stop them." Starscream told her. Then they called the others in and Slipstream told them what she'd just told Starscream.

And they all started making a plan to attack the Star Seeker's ship and stop them. When Slipstream said she heard a ticking sound. And Starscream heard it too.

And they realized it was coming from her then Knock Out opened Slipstream's subspace and everyone was horrified to see there was a bomb there that was counting down.

"That's why they used me as bait I'm so sorry I didn't know that was in me now your all in danger because of me." She said.

"Don't worry about that we just need to find away to get it off you without setting it off and stop the countdown." Starscream told her.

"No you guys need to bridge me away from the base so when it goes off it will only destroy me and no one else." Slipstream told them.

"Not gonna happen." Said Starscream as he went over to her. Then she suddenly felt something clamp over her servo and saw that Starscream had just cuffed himself to her with a pair of stasis cuffs.

"Starscream what are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm not going to abandon you again if they can defuse the bomb I'm still staying with you." He promised her.

"Starscream." She said looking on the verge of coolant tears.

Knock Out and Ratchet got to work trying to figure out how to defuse the bomb or at least get it out of Slipstream without setting it off.

Fortunately they were able to get it out of Slipstream and now just had to get rid of it before it blew.

So they opened a ground bridge to a location where the bomb wouldn't hurt anyone and Knock Out and Ratchet rushed it to the other side.

But suddenly Ratchet was shoved back through it and they head it go off. It had gone off sooner then they expected it too and Knock Out had seen it about to blow and pushed Ratchet back through the ground bridge just in time.

Then everyone ran back through the ground bridge to make sure the Austin Martin was alright. And were worried when they saw him laying on the ground unmoving.

They all rushed over to the red sports car and were relieved to see he was ok and had managed to toss the bomb far enough not to have been caught in the blast. And had only fainted.

And got him back to base where Ratchet check him over and fortunately Knock Out was fine.

Then he opened his optics. "Is this the Allspark?" He asked.

"No Knock Out you haven't joined with it just yet." Ratchet told him. "And thanks for pushing me out of the way back there."

"Anytime." Knock Out said to him. "Oh scrap my paint job is a mess." He then complained after looking at himself and ran off to fix it. And everyone had to laugh.
_                                                                     

Later after they had all calmed down they made a plan to get on the Star Seeker's ship and destroy to Requiem Blaster to save Earth and Cybertron and stop the Star Seekers once and for all.

They even called Bumblebee and his team to help. Who had just arrived through the ground bridge. And the whole team greeted them.

"Now let stop the Star Seekers and save Earth and Cybertron." Said Bumblebee.
