The ruins of Kaon showed nothing but a shadow of its former self, once the strongest city in all of Cybertron bearing the mightiest of champions and most determined of criminals to enact their devious plans and seeking opportunities to raise their infamy. Then came the civil war, the endless war, the war to end an era looking into a golden age, at least that is what they were promised. The criminals became soldiers, but there were a select few that kept their secrets from their leaders, deep within the vast complex towers of Kaon, hidden within the many caverns and ruins were many small outposts, these outputs were designed so the moire intellectual minds of the Decepticons could conduct their own experiments without being in fear of losing their research to Shockwave in his own twisted laboratory, and one of these scientist were a Seeker. Starscream discovered his research for suspicion of his loyalty towards his Air Commander, but instead what he found interested him so much that he allowed the scientist to continue his work without any of the other lieutenants needing to know. Unfortunately during the battle for Iacon his intelligent Seeker fell in battle, leaving his work incomplete, however it was at the end of his proto type and all he needed was a test subject.
This was Starscream's last chance for survival, to rid himself of this plain of existence and ascend to something far beyond anything he could comprehend, for this research delved into the theory of immortality. Starscream raomed the ruins desperately going from each tower trying to find the right tower to where the laboratory was, but the ruins made everything looked the same, the specific details of the towers crumbled away leaving tall curved spikes shooting from out the ground. Upon his search he stumbled upon the place he wished never to see again, the Pits of Kaon, the birthplace of Megatron, where he first was known as the champion of the Pits, none could oppose him and if they had the courage, they were merely too foolish to realise their mistake until it was too late. The sight of the place sent shudders through Starscream's gears, but he also remembered the exact whereabouts of his small den, it sat in the shadow of Darkmount and made way for a perfect view of the arena, which could only lead one place "There you are..."
His jet mode swerved around the other side of the Pits, diving down into the interior of a long abandoned factory, avoiding all the obstacles, being the walls and machinery that collapsed long ago to an Autobot sabotage mission, until finally reaching a small manhole in the ground, The Air Commander emitted a small beacon from the same frequency he contacted Backbeat from, hopefully he had received his transmission and was hot on his tale, he needed a helping hand if he wanted project Fusion to be a success. Scanning his optic to match that of the personal allowed to enter, the ground below him opened before him leading him deeper into the caverns, the light was sucked completely from the place as the hole in the ground shut tightly leaving Starscream wondering in the dark until finally he came across the small outpost, today shall be known as the day Cybertron feared the whisper of the name, Starscream...

NeVor had been quietly trailing Starscream since he left the faithless looter in stealth plane mode. She transformed and followed Starscream mouth the cavern. Keeping out of sight. She activates her holographic powers...
Moments later Starscream would hear a familiar voice...
STARSCREAM!
It was Megatron, the large warlord walking towards him. NeVor trailing behind and keeping to the shadows to avoid detection. She watched with a grin.

The shuttle that Shadow-Strike choose was small, capable of carrying only a squad at most including the pilot. With even less space for additional equipment, to the point that if based purely on it's ability to carry supplies and resources the shuttle would likely never have seen use in the first place. For now though that was more than enough as the only inhabitant of the ship was Shadow-Strike himself. Which was an easy enough load for the shuttle to carry that it's other qualities could shine through. Most notably the speed of the vehicle, which had reduced the gap Starscream created during his escape and following retreat to mere minutes whereas other shuttles would be struggling to be more than a quarter of an hour behind.
In fact for quite some time the distance had been reduced to the point that visual sight could have gave the hunter away. At least if not for the advanced stealth systems that left it little more than a blur even as it transitioned from full speed to a glide through the city. Which due to a mixture of Kaon's damaged but still standing architecture, alongside Shadow-Strike's relatively meager piloting skills, became a dangerous last hurdle as he weaved past a few skyscrapers in varying degrees of disrepair. For a moment in fact it almost appeared Shadow-Strike might crash as he was forced to slip inbetween the gap of two collapsed structures, which was infinitely harder than Starscream found it a few moments ago, with his smaller form allowing him to pass through easily.
In fact with such obstacles in his way Shadow-Strike considered that Starscream may be aware of him and trying to cause a grievous error. Such an idea was later discarded as Starscream passed from tower to tower in a way that could only be assumed to be an attempt to find something. Eventually the Ex-Decepticon had found what he wanted as he entered a small industrial building, with Shadow-Strike following shortly behind. The cloaked form of his shuttle cloaked even as he finally landed.
A few seconds later the shuttle door opened, and from it stepped Shadow-Strike. His very own cloaking systems active as he followed the trail.

Thundercracker flew towards the facility detecting something which is probably Starscream. He transformed landing at one of the hidden entrances. This labs was one of the labs he worked with Shockwave. He walked down the hallway. Voice of Megatron boomed through his audio receptors. "How can this be?" He continued down the hallway seeing Megatron, Starscream and NeVor. "LORD MEGATRON?!" Thundercracker went to his knees bowing to the Warlord. He looked up at Starscream. "What are you doing here, Starscream?!" He said standing up. Starscream Backbeat

(( Thundercracker)) NeVor turns slowly, noting the seeker's surprised entrance. She mentally commands her holo-puppet to turn and address the new arrival. "Megatron" gives a stone faced response to Thundercraker. NeVor silently hopes that vocal imitation software and de-centralized audio projection could be convincing. These were the only things making sure the voice appeared to come from Megatron. I am Megatron. Report... You.NeVor thinks to her self. She had forgotten the name of the blue seeker. Hopefully she wouldn't need to know it.

"L-Lord Megatron? It's me. You don't remember me?" He said scanning him up and down. "Hm.." Thundercracker looked at him. He waved his arm through the hologram. "It's a decoy!" Changing his hands into Energon blasters he aimed around. "Come out you Autobot Scum!" Thundercracker shouted.

Changing his hands into Energon blasters he aimed around. "Come out you Autobot Scum!" Thundercracker shouted. NeVor deactivates the hologram of Megatron, it disintegrating in a shower of blue particles. She once again, "throws" her voice. Hidden in the shadows, it would sound like she surrounded them. " Autobot? I wish they were here. I'm starving. "NeVor steps out of the shadows slowly. Her distaste for the situation was notable. She looks at both Starscream and Thundercracker. A smirk on her face. " Well. Backbeat wants me to peek at your cards. His words. I merely thought a heartfelt reunion would loosen your lips. "
As she walks forward, she drags her hand along the wall beside her. " So. What are you playing at? "

The voice, that booming haunting voice that burst from behind him the horror of his nightmares, the fiend that shadows over him wherever he ventured the stain in his life he spent so long to be rid of, and yet there it was once again. Was this some sort of sick game?! Could he never truly be free from the clutches of the past, if he could not be free for himself he could do it by force, never again would this monster dare dictate the path this Seeker took. In one swift motion he spins around aiming both of his Neutron blasters to supposing image of the champion of Pits of Kaon. His hand shaking violently knowing this could very well be his last action but it would be a defiant one, a brave one, one Starscream could finally be proud off. "If fate will not kill you, then I shall!"
Charging his weapons up to the maximum energy for the biggest burst of energy, hoping to give it everything he had to defeat the leader of the Decepticons, his optics twitching as he let out a battle cry roar. However as luck would have it, for Megatron that was, he could hear the rushed footsteps of another intruder, as the footsteps grew louder it became apparent that Thundercracker had made his way into the complex, running to bend his knee to Megatron's return, but upon doing so Megatron appeared to have forgotten the name of his own solider, something was not quite right. Especially for someone like Thundercracker that had been serving under the Decepticons, under Megatron for other millennia. His suspicions came to flourish an angered growl came from the Air Commander, seeing through the deception at hand, Megatron appeared to flicker from time to time, as if he was never there, a security system perhaps, or perhaps another followed.
Until finally she revealed herself, NeVor, Backbeat's little pet her small frame could not be mistaken and neither did her personality, she found entertainment in these sort of things, whilst most others did not. "It was about time you made it nere Nevor, and Thundercracker, it seems you decided to follow me after all, despite your clear change in allegiance the second our former leader appeared." A hint of disgust came through his voice as he spoke to his 'loyal' Seeker. "Now we are all here, we may be begin Project Fusion."He turned to face a long narrow table connected to a series o f many different cables and monitors that all linked to a central system, sparks erupted from time to time for how long it had remained in stasis, only now rebooting after so thousands of solar cycles. "Long ago, a Decepticon researched into possibility of ascending to a new level of consciousness, a way to keep your spark alive whilst your body was no more, the capability to connect with Cybertron's Teletran itself! Though it had never been tested, I am left with little choice, with Livewire ordering my assassination, I need to operate without anyone hunting me across the planet, in a sense this will integrate my consciousness into a central system so i can mobilise anywhere I see fit, though I cannot operate it alone,that is why i called Backbeat here, once I am in, I may begin plans for my revenge against all of my enemies by then I pray for your sake that you chose the right side."The Seeker peers to the two staring directly into their optics before strolling to the small control panel to the side of the upright table where most likely Starscream would be placed in. "I have made all the arrangements, all you will need to do is authorise the process, then it shall do the rest, Thundercracker, connect the central system to the test chamber, time is of the essence!"
(OOC: Apologies for the delay!)

NeVor thinks about this plan for a brief moment. All reason points to this not working... But, if it does work? She could think of a better recipient for godhood though. NeVor remembers something she read years ago. " Jhiaxus's little theory. Shockwave used part of it for his patch. Correct? I would love to see the completed tech. Maybe even give it a few upgrades? "(( Starscream))
