With Kaon seemingly emptied, with the forces following Backbeat already marching off to face their arch enemy in hopes of destroying them once and for all, a scrambled transmission is emitted for all surviving Decepticons in the vicinity of their capital. A lone Seeker stands before the might symbol of hid former master's rein, placing his hand upon the gigantic door frame, sealing away the many secrets and projects Megatron had stored away for thousands and thousands of solar cycles. Left abandoned until now, it feels almost poetic, for the follower to stand in the kingdom of the master's ruined empire though the former Air Commander saw this as his rightly claimed prize. Though he could not take thi alone, his body remained broken and failing, his optics flickered from time to time in and out of consciousnesses, his gears creaking with every move he took.
"Calling all Decepticons within Kaon, this is Starscream. Whilst Backbeat attempts his futile attempt to attack the Autobots head on at Iacon, I have managed to come about Megatron's old fortress, Darkmount, the defence systems are still operational, if we are to give ourselves an ideal base of operations then I will need some extra support to override the central control units. Starscream out"
The message was set to repeat itself a numerous amount of times for any signals capable of picking it up, for now he slides his back down the metallic wall, awaiting the help he so desperately needed, before his body faded away to rust.

Flying besides Whiteflier, Bluewing and the other flier were quickly approaching Starscream's coordinates.
"Starscream, Scout team approaching to aid you, designations Whiteflier and Bluewing." They'd transform back to robot mode once they were both close enough that they could land safely besides the... former?, Seeker commander.
"Here we are. It's just us both, the rest of them seem to be attacking the autobots, and Pulsewave had to stay taking care of the medishuttles." "Yeah, we'll have to do" Whiteflier added.

Starscream had thought no one would bother with the failure before him, why would they? His reputation was tainted long ago of being a treacherous coward anyone could walk over with both hands tied behind their back. He sat upon the steps seeing his last dying words being a simple message askin for aid until he caught the sound of engines powering off, followed by a static transimission being sent to him.
"Starscream, Scout team approaching to aid you, designations Whiteflier and Bluewing."
Finally, some aid, for once in his life the former Air Commander had allies to look to in time of need, almost every Decepticon on Cybertron despised Starscream for his cowardly attitude followed by his arrogance and obsessions over himself. He rises to his feet, his hand heavily placed upon a small open wound that slowly leaked the energon from his body, being wasted on the ground meeting those that would heed the call of such a distrustful Decepticon. He could barely believe it.
"Here we are. It's just us both, the rest of them seem to be attacking the autobots, and Pulsewave had to stay taking care of the medishuttles."
Starscrem emitted a quiet growl to the news, scolwing to the mere mention of the foolish plan."Of course he would empty Kaon, Backbeat relies everything on a single strike, he rarely ever sees the bigger picture, or what we once stood for. I thank you two for accompanying me, we are about to endeavour into our former master's glorious kingdom, oh the secrets that could be hidden within." His back becomes fully arched as he places his hand on the small control panel beside the giant doors, looking into a small optic scanner notifiyng the Commander's presence. ""Welcome Commander Starscream." The giant doors slowly slid open, the creeking and cracking just showed how long it has been since anyone last entered Megatron's fortress.
Until the doors reached a point of no longer opening, barely big enough to fit a fully standing Decepticon but just big enough to crawl through. "Of course this place has been abandoned ever since the race to the Ark, such fond memories..."Fin ally crawling his way through the small gap, the room engulfed in darkness. No light could be seen except for the small optics of the three cons as they entered Darkmount. "From memory, we should be nearing the first fortress defences, if they are to activate, then prepare yourselves, Megatron ensured his fortress had the most powerful firepower in all of Cybertron to prevent any Autobot from entering."

"...But the scanners recognised you, why would the defense protocols be active still?. Are they malfunctioning?" Whiteflier would ask the fellow flier as him and Bluewing walked after Starscream, one at each side. If one were to remember it might've reminded them to the seeker trio from the old times, who were now scattered. Only that Whiteflier was an ex-vehicon and his design broke the harmony, while Bluewing would probably look much more similar to the former air commander. However, just in case, the ex-vehicon would extend his forearm shields in case they could be necessary, and prepared his systems to jump and avoid nearby attacks in autopilot if he didn't react quickly enough. And so did Bluewing, already used to woring with his partner and having a rather unusual coordination, where no spoken words were needed.

Using his hand to search across the walls, running through the metallic walls that blocked any sense of freedom, their heights rising far above any of the other Decepticons, the echoing sound of their voices pulsating around the abandoned fortress the dripping of energon being the only other sound in the darkness. Until finally, Starscream came across a small panel of sorts, upon pressing his hand against it, the fortress came to life, a purple glow began to take over the room, the manual lights turned on one by one, revealing the pathways and interior of Darkmount. It had been thousand of years since this place was last used by any Cybertronian and yet it still looked so pristine, so clean, so well intact, clearly the masterful craftsmanship of this symbol of dominance planned this place to stand tall for eons for any race to see the might of Megatron, but now the fortress was without a master, the Seeker saw his time had come to rise.
An evil smirk displayed upon his face, his arms outstretched taking in the feeling of power he felt when bringing his kingdom to life once again, oh the many secrets that lied within, the sheer weaponry that could be at his disposal, but then came a crucial problem. One Whiteflier had recently brought up. "...But the scanners recognised you, why would the defence protocols be active still?. Are they malfunctioning?" Starscream turned hid body to face his two allies, his face changing from a smile to a scowl once more realising the dangers that awaited. "You would think so, but no. There were certain wings only the top lieutenants had direct access to, all of them except for me, I had the same access codes as any standard vehicon! If we are to override Darkmount so that it can recognise a new master, then that won't be a problem, the problem is however, the location of such a control room."
He continued on reaching a junction splitting in three different directions, both leading deeper into the complex, with the one ahead being the central elevator system, the left tunnel lead to a set of stairs leading down into a restricted area, level access was required. Whilst the other remained completely free of any access codes, "Our dear leader never bothered to show me the entire fortress, we will have to search level by level until we find it, besides, we could find something of great power within the restricted zones, maybe even hidden chambers Megatron didn't want prying eyes to behold.
