...and flourishes as he does so.
We'll be ready, Cam. I just hope we hear from BlackJack soon...
Cambreaker's excitement is contagious--aside from Cliffjumper, who was always eager for some action, the Autobots were looking forward to handing the Decepticons their collective tailpipes.
Goldbug--we'll be counting on you and the throttlebots back here at the gates in our first line of defense. Gather whomever else you ...something dawns on her, mid-sentence... wait a minute. Where is Ultra Magnus?
Shrapnel flew to the coordinates he had pinpointed before leaving Kaon. The coordinates were close to Iacon and he took great pains to avoid being detected by the Autobots. He transformed out of beetle mode and landed behind Starscream.
"Master Starscream," he hissed, "I welcome your return and offer you my assistance, assistance."
Starscream spun around, the arm cannon he was using as a rifle right now held at Shrapnel.
"Your assistance?" He asked. "Megatron ordered an attack on Iacon and ordered me to join him. I chose to honor it -- got here first and am awaiting the assault -- what assistance do you think you could offer me -- the two of us -- against all of them until Megatron's forces arrive?" He didn't trust any of the Insecticons especially when no one was really suppose to know he was here, except for Megatron and ...Soundwave.
"And how exactly did you know to find me here?" His optics narrowed. He was not at all liking the feeling he was getting from this sudden arrival of 'assistance'.
Shrapnel bowed slightly, hoping to play to the other Con's vanity.
"My apologies, apologies. I did not intend to startle you, you." He paused for a moment, searching for the right words. "I thought perhaps our... agendas might overlap, overlap." He stood to his full height and looked Starscream straight in the eye. "If that is the case, I offer you my services and pledge you my loyalty, loyalty."

Blackjack rolled up to the gates of Iacon, this time not waiting for clearance, he merely transformed and entered. He hadn't noticed the two 'cons discussing their plans because they were far enough from the main roadway into Iacon. As soon as he entered the base, he ran down the hallways to the command center.
Hey I hope I'm not too late to join the party. What you's guys got cooking up now? Has...eh...commander hothead cooled down at all? Why don't I get comfortable while you explain things.
Blackjack leaned up against a control panel and as the others looked on, his head separated and transformed into a much smaller figure. The nebulon looked up at the larger robots around him.
Bet you didn't know Blackjack was a headmaster. My name is Brakas Garlon. I was a part of the Nebulon undercover special forces for twenty-five years, so I know how to deal with scum like the Decepticons. Just let me know what you're plannin and I'll get on it.
Starscream seemed to drink in the bow to him. He was worthy of such and was pleased that another saw what was expected of him when facing the Air Commander.
He listened to the Insecticons words closely then met his gaze steadily. "Agendas -- and when my agenda is done, if yours is not, then what, loyal Decepticon?"
Starscream smiled. "So be it, Shrapnel -- you may call me Lord Starscream." He turned back around and looked out at Iacon. "The Agenda right now is to sit and wait for Megatron and his forces to assault Iacon -- from this vantage point we can make sure things don't go well for him and lets also make sure the one called Galvatron has a bad time of it, shall we say, partner?"
"I am honored to join you Lord Starscream, Starscream. I believe however, that Megatron has called off the assault on Iacon for the time being, being. He is currently distracted with the attack on his bar, bar. In fact, if you will permit me, my Lord, I must briefly return to the bar, bar. I was ordered to search the ruins for Time Traveller and I must make my report, report." Shrapnel bowed once again as he waited for permission to leave.
Starscream narrowed his optics. "How . . . convenient eh? I will join you --" He put his arm cannon back where it belonged and motioned ahead. "After you, partner..."
"As you wish, my Lord, Lord. But Megatron does not know I left the bar, bar. I must sneak back and rejoin my clones, clones. We do not want Megatron to know of this meeting, meeting. He must not suspect that anything is amiss, amiss."
Shrapnel transformed into beetle mode and flew off in the direction of the bar.
Starscream watched him until he was out of site then opened up his comm to Rodimus Prime.
"There has been a chance in Megatron's plan, Autobot." He began in a crisp tone. "It seems there was an attack on the local bar that seems to be the gathering place for his forces. I was not lying when I stated he was to attack Iacon -- he was -- I am sure he will return to that objective once the crisis is over at the other location -- unless you think you can finish that place off...." With that, Starscream ended the comm, transformed and caught up with the Insecticon.
Once he got beside him he opened a channel to Shrapnel. "I can not believe I was not informed of this chance in plans for the attack on Iacon -- he set me up..."
Starscream didn't care if Shrapnel answered him or not. He was mad and was not about to hide his presence back at that bar.
Kup,unidentified bot approaching.Do you want me to check up on him?

Far over the Misty Mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night, The fire was red, it flaming spread, The trees like torches blazed with light.
