The Autobot leader looked up at her briefly, his battle mask covering the lower half of his face, pointing one of his blasters at her. A bulky green one and a small blue and pink one also aimed their blasters at her, and Atlas prepared to attack the Autobots.
A hail of blaster fire rained down upon them, and Megatron and Stormrunner looked up, to see a group of vehicons led by a blue and gold jet firing upon the Autobots. "The surprises never cease, do they?" Megatron said as they land and transform, ceasing fire momentarily.
The lead blue and gold con pulled out his weapon. "Deliver Lord Megatron and the other to us, and I will allow you and your team to live." The con said. But the Prime didn't waver, still having one blaster trained on Megatron and the other on Stormrunner.
"Never trust a Decepticon!" The bulky green one called out, training his blaster at the blue and gold con'.
The Prime still did not speak, looking at Stormrunner and Megatron, his blue optics narrowed.
"Dreadwing," He finally said, addressing the blue and gold con. "Do I have your word that you will let my team live?"
After a few tense moments of silence, Dreadwing put away his weapon, and the Prime in turn put away his blasters. Dreadwing walked up to Megatron, helping him up, who winced in pain.
"Dreadwing may have given you his word, but I did not!" Megatron roared and looked up at the vehicons. "Destroy the Autobots!"
The vehicons started to fire again, and Team Prime returned fire. Megatron, Dreadwing, Stormrunner, and Atlas took this moment to escape, all jumping up and flying away, with Atlas on Stormrunner's back.

Back on the Nemesis, Megatron immediately turned to Stormrunner, Dreadwing still by his side. " Stormrunner, what happened to Arachnid?"
Stormrunner shook her helm. "She got away."
Megatron punched the metal wall so hard that he dented it. "Should have killed the traitor when I had the chance!" He walked away, but Dreadwing and Stormrunner stayed back.
Dreadwing turned to Stormrunner. "You must be the Decepticon they found in that stasis pod." He said, looking down at Atlas with disgust in his optics.
Stormrunner crossed her arms. "Is there a problem?"
"You could have helped Lord Megatron when you had the chance."
Stormrunner growled. "I was going after Arachnid. And besides, Lord Megatron is a gladiator from the metal bowls of Kaon, he did not require my assistance." Stormrunner stared at him. "You must be Dreadwing. Heard about you, and your twin. How is he, by the way?"
Stormrunner could tell she struck a nerve in Dreadwing. His crimson optics flared and Dreadwing reached for his weapon, before thinking against it.
"This isn't over," Dreadwing snarled at her, before walking away, leaving Stormrunner and Atlas by themselves.
Stormrunner knelt, and pet Atlas, watching the vehicons mill about the ship, about thought back to her fight with Arachnid. 'Sub-surface scrap!' Arachnid's words echoed around her head. Stormrunner scowled and shook her head. 'Whatever.'

Location: Autobot Base, Jasper Nevada
The Autobots arrive back at base, and Ratchet turned to look at them. "What happened?"
"We nearly had King Con', that's what happened," Bulkhead said. "But he got away."
"And worst, a new Decepticon has joined his ranks," Bumblebee buzzed.
"Stormrunner." Arcee finished.
"Stormrunner? I've heard rumors about her back on Cybertron." Ratchet said. "This is not good."
Sorry for the short chapter! I have a few exams coming up that I need to study for (all in this week :(). Sorry if there are any spelling/grammar mistakes.
