Starscream's thread

[airspacecommand]

Starscream hovers in the air waiting for the waiting for the right opportunity to take out the plants. Of course he opted for this job as the other one was just too Autobot-like for his liking.

"This better work..." He mumbled to himself and waited.

[xo_bluegunner]

Chromia had no idea what she was walking in to when she arrived to this...place. The only one she'd met that she thought she knew had been Ironhide, but it wasn't the right Ironhide. Naturally. All this talk of different worlds and universes made her processors ache; so she decided that just...getting out and away for a bit would do her good. Her Elita wasn't here, none of the femmes were, so Chromia had no one to report to at the moment.

So, to Zone 2 she goes!

And oh, look. Sentient, man eating plants. Isn't this fun.

What the hell was wrong with this place?

It doesn't take long for her gun to come out, and start shooting at the plants.

[airspacecommand]

Starscream had been waiting for Jetfire to make sure they were all contained when he spotted the femme down below. He didn't recognize her and for a second he wondered if it was that Arcee one he had been speaking with ... since he never did find out what she looked like.

Flying down he transformed and landed near the female transformer.

"Well hello there." He spoke smoothly. "Do you require any assistance?" He asked. He could play the nice part when he wanted to.

It was then that he took note of her symbol. Autobot. There seemed to be quite a few Autobot females around lately. He found that rather interesting.

[xo_bluegunner]

Chromia has her back to him, and as soon as the last plant was felled she turned to answer.

"Nah, I've got this under cont--" Her voice cut off abruptly as she saw just who had addressed her. Oh, what the slag. Her day just got worse and worse.

Instead of waiting on him to shoot at her (as he was wont to do, their last encounter had been less than friendly) she decides to just shoot first, then (maybe) ask questions later.

So, here, have some bullets aimed at you, Starscream.

[airspacecommand]

He was caught off guard by the sudden turn and her shooting at him. He dodged the shots though one managed to hit him in the shoulder. He let out a small yell in pain before turning back to her with a glare.

"Why in Primus' name are you shooting at me, you blasted female?!" He got ready to aim his null ray at her and take her offline if she refused to be reasoned with.

In fact he almost shot her out of spite.

Then he remembered that he modified his weapons for the freezing of the plants and though it would still work on her. The Transtechs might not be too happy with him over the results.

So he scowled at Chromia instead. "Shoot at me again, and I will take you offline." He glared before turning his weapon to aim at the plants in the distance. He would make his move soon.

[xo_bluegunner]

She is not putting her gun away, nope; it's still aimed at him. At least she stopped shooting at him? She gets points for that, at least.

"You. You tried to kill Prime, Elita, all of us. I should clock you a good one right about now." The only reason she hasn't fired again is because slaggitall, he's bigger and she has no backup. Not that she couldn't totally take him out on her own, of course.

[airspacecommand]

He glared at her some more, like his glares could cause her to suddenly catch on fire or something.

Well, if they could, this would make things a whole lot easier.

"Yes, yes, of course I -- Wait. Who the slag is Elita? And as if you could actually take me on by yourself, female." And so he glared at her some more.

Just who did she think she was? He should show her a thing or too about fighting a Decepticon. She was threatening him of course, and it would be totally justified. The Transtechs would have to see it that way wouldn't they?

Bah, that probably wouldn't work either. Not to mention Jetfire and some other Autobots were nearby. How slagging annoying.

[xo_bluegunner]

"You know who Elita is. Don't play stupid with me. Then again....that's what you do best isn't it?" Her words are snarled; it's quite clear she has some sort of personal vendetta against him (well, technically not him, but...you know) and had no intention of actually being civil with him.

"And you know I can take you on; I should have just killed you when I had the chance." She hisses at him, and cocks the gun. "Maybe I should just do that now." Of course, she knows she's not supposed to, she had been told just a few hours ago there is no war here. But sometimes personal grudges are hard to ignore.

[airspacecommand]

Oh how about another glare Chromia? He was growing tired of this. Then it dawned on him. He almost laughed at her.

"No, I do not. But I get what this is about. One of my alternates... the Starscream from your world? He did some terrible things to you, didn't he?" He almost looked smugly at her. Oh now he understood.

He moved closer, ignoring the fact that she had cocked the gun at him. A smirk crept up on his features.

"I hate to break it to you, but I'm not him. I never even met this Elita, nor do I know who you are... but... I have to give my alternate credit for making an impression on you. Negative or not." He laughed.

"Now female, if you would kindly turn your attention elsewhere. I have a job to do. You can finish your vendetta against me when you actually find the right one."

[xo_bluegunner]

...Slag. Another alternate. This was getting annoying. Ironhide had said something about multiple Starscreams (why him, ugh!) so she was inclined to believe him, even if she didn't want to.

"Terrible things in general." She's so not going into it with him. Oh, and he's coming closer? Alright, fine. She steps right up to him (fearless!) and presses the gun against his chest roughly.

"I'm not turning my attention elsewhere. You think I give a slag about you having to do a job?"

[airspacecommand]

He looked down at the gun pressed against his chest, but he didn't flinch or move. Sure it would be bad if she decided to pull the trigger, but he was counting on her to be an Autobot and well, not.

He stood there for a moment before batting away the gun with his hand. My she was irritating. Even more so than Autobots usually were.

"Well, you should, as it deals with those plants you were firing at earlier." He pointed with his other hand towards the plants that Jetfire was trying to contain.

"My job is to destroy them. And unless you want to help, I suggest you getting out of my way."

[xo_bluegunner]

She glances in the direction he points, then in annoyance right back to him.

When her hand was batted away she growled, resisting the urge to shoot him point blank. Instead, she settle for just giving him a good shove out of sheer annoyance.

"Fine. I'll help." But she's still mad, but whacking him made her feel better so she's less likely to try anything else. For now. She can settle with shooting up some plants and just pretending it's his face on them.

[airspacecommand]

"Goody goody gum drops." Starscream said dryly before turning his attention back to the plants.

He turned on his thrusters and shot up in the air a few feet and just hovered there.

"I'm going to use my weapon to start and take them out. Do try to keep any stragglers from getting away? I think you can handle that."

With that he turned on his main weapon which had been temporarily modified to cause a freezing reaction in the plants. Instead of fire, they were going to use the cold to destroy them.

He set off to work in eliminating the threat. And he could go and get back the female for shoving him.

[xo_bluegunner]

Just as thrilled as you." She's muttering under her breath in irritation, and she's extremely tempted to just blast him out of the sky. He is, however, not the one she knows so she doesn't.

She sets off herself, firing at any plant she sees and blasting them to bits. She's...definitely kind of enjoying herself, even if she's technically helping Starscream. At this rate, and with two of them, hopefully it wouldn't take forever.

[airspacecommand]

With the two of them, the plants were easily being destroyed. He had admit the female was a good shot. Even if she was annoying and shot him. That still slagging hurt too.

He was still firing on the plants. But there were so many of them.

"Slaggit all. This is going to take forever." He clenched his fist a bit in frustration. But it wasn't as if he could do anything else. Jetfire was busy trying to keep them contained. ... As if he would ask for help anyway.

"Stay here." He ordered at the female Autobot before transforming and speeding off. He made a couple passes from above quickly firing at the plants. At this rate hopefully he could get it done faster.

[xo_bluegunner]

And she doesn't feel remotely bad about shooting you almost point blank, either, Starscream.

Okay, maybe a little, especially when he didn't shoot back.

Either way, she continued to stake out as many plants as she could; but when he had the nerve to order her to stay there, she grew a little ruffled. She obeyed (only because she doesn't want to get caught in the crossfire) and stayed back, hitting what she could from a distance.
