I'm not sure by this point how many days I have been stuck in this cage listening to Starscream rant about how he deserved to be leader or how bad the Autobot's were going to pay when he got free, pacing my cage I began to think up a new plan since it seemed that the Autobot's were going to try and get information by hacking my systems. The sound of the door opening didn't stop my pacing, from the corner of my eye I spotted a tiny human and guessed they had freed them for the most part.

"Woah! You guys actually managed to catch these guys!?" The small femme human Miko gasped in surprise, the black and yellow scout who had followed her nodded but his blue optics never left us for too long.

"Oh little creature your Autobot friends won't have us for much longer, it's only a matter of time before one of your pathetic friends breaks, oh how Lord Megatron will be so furious, the aftermath of his rage will be glorious!" I chuckled darkly, it didn't take long for the scout to usher the small human away after that. As the day wore on I felt the time for our grand escape drawing near, when the base fell quiet I turned to the absent minded Starscream who seemed lost in his own thoughts of glory.

"Starscream, come here and poke your hands through my cage, I will remove your restraints and after that I want you to unlock my cage," I stated, hearing my words he hesitantly edged his way across the room where he turned his back to me with his hands through the cage. Grabbing the restraints in my jaws I crushed the somewhat fragile middle causing them to turn off, once freed Starscream stretched a moment obviously marvelling at my disadvantage. After a few moments of taking his sweet time he finally unlocked the door with a thin piece of metal he had found and I left the cage quicker than I meant to, shaking the stiffness from my limbs I turned to the seeker once more.

"If my estimates are correct most if not all the Autobot's will be in recharge, we need to make our way to their control panel so that I can download their files and destroy what's left, your job during this is to keep an eye out and keep your mouth shut," I explained, Starscream rolled his eyes before crossing his arms.

"You aren't my leader, however your plan makes sense," he grumbled, shaking my helm slightly I made my way out of the room with Starscream close behind. As quietly as we could we made our way through the halls alert for any sort of sound, when we arrived in the main room of the base I stood still my ears twitching in every direction. When no sounds reached my ears I moved towards the control panel, turning it on I opened the screen on my chest and attached a tube before beginning to download what files seemed important. After I got enough files to satisfy my own systems I detached the tube and tore open the barrier protecting the precious circuits that kept the system running, gripping the wires in my jaws I jerked my helm backwards tearing them from their places and completely destroying the systems. Turning to Starscream I beckoned towards the main door of the Autobot Base, without needing any words to be said we took off out the door.

"Go on without me and tell Lord Megatron I am on my way," I told the seeker, he seemed hesitant for a moment before transforming and taking off back towards the Nemesis. Looking around I used the sensors in my nose and picked up the trace of energon in the distance, taking off towards it I found a somewhat empty mine with a few scattered clumps of energon remaining. Cutting a somewhat decent chunk out I grabbed it in my jaws and hurried from the cave, touching the screen on my chassis I pulled up a small control panel and typed in the coordinates for the Nemesis. Walking through the ground bridge I found myself already in the main bay and tensed, looking around I noticed Megatron and a few other cons alongside Starscream who seemed to be getting a rather harsh scolding.

"Explain to me Starscream, just how did you fail to kill a few worthless Autobot's!?" Megatron snarled, the mech winced slightly but I dropped the energon I currently held and walked over not fearing the former gladiators wrath.

"With all due respect Lord Megatron that was my fault, when I got back and the Autobot's came I threw that worthless wrecker Bulkhead into an unstable part of the mine, it triggered the collapsing of the entire thing and I managed to get Starscream out though a few harsh wounds had been scored before the Autobot's blinded me with their cannons, nobody could have taken on all the Autobot's at once alone and blind my lord," I lied, Megatron snarled and I bowed my helm in respect.

"Than why didn't you return right away? Are you planning something with those pests?" He questioned his voice cold and filled with hatred, I shook my helm and didn't meet the mechs gaze.

"I couldn't return Lord Megatron, the Autobot's had blinded me and Starscream had been in no state to fight so they took us prisoner, however when they slipped into recharge both Starscream and I escaped, as we left I downloaded all of their files as well as destroyed their main control panel, I have also recorded what I could hear and see," I explained, this seemed to halt Megatron in his bothersome questioning.

"Go see Soundwave and get those files extracted, after that I don't want to see either of you unless called upon, am I clear?" Megatron grumbled, I nodded and turned making sure I grabbed the energon I had so carelessly left on the floor and began to head to Soundwave's main bay. A tall figure coming up beside me told me Starscream had followed, he was stubborn but one glance at him told me he had words to say that weren't for the ears of Megatron.
