There was sounds of grunting as one of the Decepitcons had nearly been ruthlessly slaughtered by Sunstreaker was currently hiding around a tree. His name was Glinter, a rather inexperienced warrior who was supposed to be spying on Autobot territory ended up getting caught by one of the most merciless Autobots there is and got his chest and arm slashed in the process of a large sword that Sunstreaker found. He held his hand over his wound, the plating had been cut deep and there was a large uneven diagonal line on his chassis where a crusted deep shade of green was seen. His arm wasn't any better, the superficial layer was completely removed at where the front of the elbow was at. The lesion had affected mostly the forearm and stains of dripping energon was seen. He could hear the small bursts of energon which sputtered on the floor. He got up his plasma saliva dripping on the floor and down his chin. Each bubble burst from the plasma like boiling water in a pot.
He got up wiping his face as he started to hear noises nearby. He looked as he aimed his gun behind the trees, waiting to see if anyone hostile was nearby as his optics shifted around himself. He heard something jump down and turned to see a large red and white seeker standing in the far horizon as his optics widened in shock. "Is that... Starscream?" He asked himself before seeing the seeker aim his null rays and shot at Glinter. Glinter jumped to the side dodging his shot as Starscream looked a little frustrated "Ugh, I really need better aim." He muttered with his voice unusually harsh. He prepared a shot with better precision and shot again, this time grazing his arm. Glinter soon shot back but his shots were clunky and barely missed Starscream. What had made the Decepticon so hostile? He wondered as the Seeker jumped upwards with his wings but didn't fly very high.
It caught Glinter off guard as he soon moved to the side before Starscream tackled him as he held his hand on his neck. Glinter coughed as Starscream began to strangle him. He soon shot at Starscream which made the gunshot wound on his face bigger. Starscream let go as he held his hand over his own eye. He soon watched as Glinter attempted to run off while going across the forest. Starscream rolled his optics before stretching his leg on the mud and began running off to chase after him. He saw that Glinter had ran off towards the side of the small valley nearby as Starscream soon tried to shot in front of Grinder which made him jump and fall downwards. He landed on a rough part of the ground as he struggled. Finally Starscream got a clear shot and immediately shot Glinter who felt something dribbling down his face. Glinter was soon knocked out unconscious as Starscream checked over for a pulse. Turns out he was still alive, just very injured.
"Well looks like I got to handle this by myself. Let's see..." Starscream noticed the Decepitcon's comms as he squashed it with his foot. Then he started to drag the other Decepitcon carefully. It was hard keeping himself secret considering he was having to take a risky way through the open. He soon found a small front of the cave and put Glinter in front. He decided that Glinter should be left out bleeding and walked away with a odd glint on his expression as he went to a far location. He noticed the sun was setting and Starscream grabbed something out of his subspace as he looked it over. It was a brass-silver lighter which Starscream had found in a rather compact junkyard which mostly had car parts, bolts, some discarded parts and some dead Cybertronains were seen there. After adjusting the lighter, he began to flick and soon a fire went up. He dropped it near the bottom of the trees as he looked with a wide grin on his face before deciding to walk away.
Immediately the small orange flames went to the bark of the tree as splints of wood started to fall down on the ground. Each layer was like peeling skin, the air being taken out of the sapwood and other parts like the pholem. The smell of burning wax could be felt from the leaf as they slowly dropped down like tears. Drops of water was not enough to keep the roaring flames out of the trees as they engulfed them. What was once alive became dead with bark falling like mouldy mud on the floor. The fire became a striking red, where all that could been seen is the shadow of the tree. It fell downwards like a rumble and hit the other trees in the forest with the flames attacking the rest. The bristly noise of moving flames was heard with sparts of fireflies coming out from the spitting warmth. Fruits fell downwards, juice coming out and spreading on the dirt floor. Their crust fell apart and the insides became a brown colour. The branches twisted downwards with twigs snapping off with a loud clink and fell through the cliffs which landed to the deep abyss.
The seeker started to fly off in his jet mode until he hit a tree and soon landed on the branch. He gritted his own teeth as he sat up seeing something nearby with a curious sense of interest. He started to transform again and flew after it. Soon Glinter woke up after a little while and could feel the pain all over him. He sat up clutching his own throat as he tried to focus on where he was. Why was he in front of a cave and what exactly was he doing here in the first place anyways? Those question made his mind running with fear as he tried to find his comms with no avail. He looked smelling something horrific but couldn't see where it was.
