Twiddling your digits in anticipation, walking in the snow of the Antartic. Following behind Prime after having been subjected to partner with him after coordinates leading to valuable Cybertronian relics had been decoded.

While it was awkward to be looking for a relic with the Autobot leader. You found it best not to say anything as there wouldn't be much of a response other than a simple glance.

A meter showing your system temperature popped up on your screen showing the amount of time you had left before succumbing to the freezing land.

A reverberation intercepting your audio sensors made you stop and look out at the glacier edge you had been scouting on. A familiarity made you curious about the sound. Having zoomed in to see through the cloudy snow.

"Optimus, Decepticons have been spotted in the distance" you report pointing to where silhouettes can be seen moving.

"Permission to advance?" You suddenly question earning a hard glance from Optimus. It felt at first like you may have stepped out of line until his gaze softened and was acknowledged with a brief nod.

Despite having your gears placed on silent it still wasn't advanced for the slipping of the snow underneath when advancing towards the Decepticons.

"Trash Mite. How it has been since the last time I had seen you" Dreadwing said as you transformed into your Alt-mode.

"Don't be thinking I'm on anyone's side Dreadwing. I still hold my grudge against you for using me like a bomb runner!" You argued pointing an accusing digit at the lieutenant.

The Titan looking Decepticon cackled as they stepped forward until glancing when Optimus rolled up standing by your side.

"I'm not risking on being alone" You muttered crossing your servos across your chasse.

Dreadwing stood silent as he analyzed the situation before abruptly reaching for his canon and firing. "Than die Trash Mite!"

Your optics widened in surprise. Even though Optimus was capable of himself you still never executed the program to protect those who accompanied.

Nudging the prime out of the way so that your back plates were scorned from the blasts. Grunting as the blasts had forced you to take a couple of steps back. Clutching your servos and spinning on your pedes as your spark pulsed pink sending lights to outline your translucent aqua and gray armor.

A ribbon-like a sword came to your right servo as you raced towards Dreadwing. Jumping at the mech raising and bringing down your sword causing the mech to stumble back but didn't drop his canon.

Dreadwing shook his helm and raised his canon swinging it at your left side. You yelped trying to stop from being hit by raising your servos to block but wasn't enough to keep yourself being hit off your pedes and colliding with the glacier wall.

Letting out a sighed grunt as your gears creaked when pushing yourself having fair chunks of snow came falling down on top of you.

"Optimus!" You gasped realizing you had left the leader defenseless when being hit to the side. Wiping away the snow from your optics before standing up. Scanning the area only to catch the last second of Dreadwing and Optimus falling off the glaciers edge.

Rushing over only to catch the moment of Optimus shooting at the side of the glacier causing an avalanche that made it impossible to see either of them.

The possibility being blamed for the injured leader was something you would be willing to take.

Held hostage and still yet to be noticed by you Starscream shook his helm watching you pace back and forth. "Clearly someone's programming was never adjusted."

While most wouldn't have heard the traitors mumbling your audio receptors never once failed even after all the heavy fire you taken back on Cybertron.

"Starscream?" You questioned puzzled to see the Decepticons. "Why are you here?"

"You just now noticed! In case you must know I have been taken captive by Dreadwing for discarding Megatron."

An unamused expression made its way onto your facial plates. "Finding that hard to believe after all the beatings you've taken. Not once were you able to even stand against me when I was sparing against you."

Taking your sword glancing at the two drones having been placed to guard Starscream. Kicking away the scraps of metal before staring down at the con.

"That would be since Megatron always had me tied up so you would- You hit me!"

"Might stand down!" Optimus commanded startling you.

"Optimus your alright" You smiled running up to the Autobot leader but quickly controlled your behavior to a more serious one.

Starscream grumbled having to watch your reunion "If you could just remove my bonds. I can lead you straight to the relic."

Your optics focused on Starscream before opening your mouth only to be silenced when Optimus pointed his cannon at the con.

"You will lead us there regardless"

Given charge of staying close behind Starscream was something you hadn't complained as you did enjoy stepping at his pedes just to make him fall into snow.

"Must you keep doing that!" Starscream yelled only for you to turn your helm away and smirk.

"I have no clue what you are implying," You replied playing dumb only to soon laugh when Starscream tripped on his own sliding helm down and aft in the air down the icy slope.

Suppressing your laughs once given a stern look by Optimus before going after Starscream "That was not me this time."

Starscream glared up at you as you sat him up straight. His attention soon distracted when lights in the distance were flickering in the snow fall.

"As I suspected. Humans. We will find the relic here. So let's reclaim what is rightfully our's." Starscream mused only to be pulled back by Optimus.

"We cannot simply enter a human facility to search for Cybertronian relics!"

"Not even if they stole it?" Starscream inquired

"Nor can I expose innocent humans to a dangerous Decepticon" Optimus scolded

Starscream groaned in agitation not liking the idea of needing to be patient. You, on the other hand, no problem since you were able to calmly sit and admire the glaciers until the humans had vacated.

Entering the research base. Coming upon the frozen relic residing inside. Having waited outside to keep watch until being suddenly picked up.

"I knew you have questionable honors Starscream. But aiding the Autobots? That is a tall offense." Dreadwing lowly growled as he compressed your servos together making it uncomfortable when hearing your armor bend.

"Dreadwing I can not allow you to leave here with the relic!" Optimus told

Wiggling and kicking you pedes back did nothing and could barely lift your whole torso up to flip onto the cons shoulders.

"I know that Prime. But I do not intend to give you a choice" Dreadwing threw you onto the slippery ground creating a numbing shock to go through your systems keeping you from steadily getting up.

"Ow.. Ow.." You groaned as your systems check appeared on your screen. Nothing was broken but more or less shot.

Looking around to find prime about to be slashed by Dreadwings sword. Not caring if your leg components were slow but readied your ribbon-like sword sliding over the prime sending Dreadwing back a few feet when both swords collide.

The ground rumbled just as something jumped out of the hanger the relic was once in.

"Starscream?" You questioned bewildered at the seeker that was wearing strange armor.

"Oh, don't be so surprised Trash Might! Now how about we get even! After all, those times you beaten me!"

Optics widening when the stomping seeker came towards you finding your servo still clutching your sword but couldn't lift it as the power of the pink spark was limited.

"Scrap" you whispered right as Starscream lifted you by your helm. Laughing as he slammed you into the solid ice ground before kicking you towards Optimus and Dreadwing.

"..I'll live.." You coughed holding your sides giving a weak grin at Dreadwing and Optimus.

Dreadwing watched as you groaned but knew you had taken much worse when on Cybertron. It was a low idea but knew it was the only chance either if you had against Starscream.

"Bomb run"
You
Optimus looked at Dreadwing appalled they would motion that. "Dreadwing, Might is of no accord-"

"Optimus.. I can do it" Groaning as you stood up. Few drops of energon dripping down your helm, yet it didn't compare to how you forced yourself to stand up.

Taking the bomb from Dreadwing. Starring at the intimidating Starscream as a sigh left your body. Sprinting towards the seeker dodging his attempt to catch you once again only to have a bomb thrown on his left. He tried each time you went under and jumped over him until all bombs made a circle.

Your systems were young but they had their limits. Collapsing on the other side of the bomb made crater Starscream had fallen in giving a raised servo and smile to Optimus and Dreadwing.

"Ratchet. Mission has been achieved. Permission to come back."
