[b]The Moon, some time after The Slam[/b]

Unicron, the Chaos Bringer, sending down lightning like a wrathful god punishing impudence. A brightness searing the optics follows, then darkness takes hold. The body shatters like glass, then becomes dust. Those were the last events Starscream remembers before waking up on Earth's moon. He shouldn't be even standing here. How and why was he revived? What is the reason he was brought here? Even then, there is one more question. Who is the shadowed crowned figure that appears in his mind? The flashes of him come randomly and each time they happen, he feels a sharp pain that stabs at his neural circuits. The silhouetted Cybertronian, whose frame appears similar to his own, spouts how weakness should be purged. Other images show him in agony, howling as if seeking to exorcise some illness out of himself. What possible connection could these fragmented events have to himself?

There's no use pondering these questions here. Starscream transforms into his jet mode and zooms toward Earth. Perhaps there he can find some clues. As he speeds towards his destination, he wonders how much the planet has changed during his absence. A small part of himself worries about potential dangers, but he immediately pushes any hesitation aside. Where else could he go anyway?
