Nightstreak: The Decepticon That Changed Everything (tfp fanfic)

Chapter 73

Starscream's P.O.V.

"That's not good, sounds like Nightstreak is struggling with the beast!" Knockout said. "Why is she facing it alone?! What was she thinking?!" Megatron said. "She led it away from us, trying to protect us, apparently." Shockwave replied.

I'm not sure what got over me. But something inside me awakened....a strong urge to protect her.

Instinctively, I transformed into my jet mode, and zoomed down the hallway. "Starscream!" Megatron called. But I didn't look back. 

Nightstreak's P.O.V.

"AAAHH!" I screamed, leaning back and barely dodging the giant arm that swung towards me. Breakdown No.2 loomed over me, giving a loud growl that echoed in the room. I stepped back, trying to shoot my blaster at it. But they seemed to barely do a thing. 

"Scrap, scrap, scrap...." I muttered. I cried out, feeling a sharp pain in my head. "What's wrong with my head....why does it hurt so much?" I murmured. I barely managed to leap back as it again swung its arms at me. "The dark energon within me....its picking up that beast's life signal. Is it possible the synthetic Energon in its veins are causing me pain?" I wondered. I took a deep breath.

Either way, I'm on my own right now. I needed to deal with this myself.

I brought my blades out from my arms, and charged forward. I leaped up and brought my blades down, causing a few scratches to appear on its arms. It winced and stumbled back a bit. I used this to my advantage and did an upper kick to its head, making it cry out in pain. That's when I aimed my blaster right at its chest, and gave a powerful blast. Breakdown No.2 took a few steps back, head hung low and panting hard.

I panted hard myself. I was already exhausted from out running this thing. Fighting it isn't exactly helping.

"I'm sorry....but I can't let you infect anyone else." I stated. I rushed forward and tried to bring my blade to its head....but it caught my arm in one swift movement. I gasped, seeing it glare up at me.

"ENERGOOOON!!!!" 

Before I could even take in what was happening, I was being swung around, and then thrown against the wall. My vision blacked out momentarily, and I groaned as my head pounded with pain. My wings also flared up in agony, not taking the impact of the wall so well. I didn't even realize I was even being lifted up from the ground until I felt the strong grip on my arms.

I cried out as I was once again slammed against the wall, staring right into the eyes of the beast. It growled hungrily at me, it's Terrorcon tongue peeking out from its maw. "No....no please! Let me go!" I cried. I attempted to raise my legs to kick its head, but they were too short. My spark was beating rapidly, practically pounding out of my chest. Breakdown No.2 gave a loud shriek, and his tongue lunged forward for my neck.

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" 

However, the tongue stopped just millimeters away from my neck as a booming sound came from behind it. Breakdown No.2 let out a choked sound as it suddenly released me...slowly backing away and falling on its backing....showing Starscream, who had his arm pointed towards the beast. He probably shot one of his rockets at its back.

"Starscream....?!" I said. He glanced at me, and for a moment a wave of relief washed over his face before he quickly looked back to the corpse.

"Get beside me, now! I don't know if its still alive or not." he stated. I nodded, and quickly went to Starscream's side. We both watched the corpse for a moment, and it remained motionless. So finally Starscream lowered his arm. He sighed in relief. "Finally, this whole ordeal is finally over." he said.
