"NO thanks! I'll free myself!""Wait! I can help you!"
Starscream had ended up being thrown towards a computer terminal before he could manipulate the fool. He was thrown so fast that he didn't even have time to raise his arms to defend his head before he was imbedded into the screen of the terminal. In the moments before he blacked out, decided that perhaps he should have stayed further away from the beast while lecturing it.
Coming to, he found himself still splayed out in the position he landed in. Everything was hurting, but his systems told him that he was otherwise unharmed. Standing up, he quickly noticed that he was no longer in Shockwave's laboratory. He appeared to have landed in a tiny building of sorts, although it had partially collapsed around him. While the surrounding city looked destroyed, a more accurate description was it was abandoned. Organic material had seeped in as well as rust, ruining what was once likely a thriving community. He was disgusted by the revolting organic compounds.
Transforming, he took to the sky, ascending to an altitude higher than most of the skyscrapers around him. This gave him the perfect vantage point to observe the area around him. He spotted quite a few things, including a large group of ... aliens? They appeared to be some kind of military, and by the looks of it, finishing off what apparently was their enemy. He quickly dismissed any other objects he had seen in place of this one group.
Curious, he began to descend in order to get a closer look. Transforming once more, he skidded to a halt atop of one of the many buildings around him. While it shook under his weight, it didn't seem to collapse on him. Before he could do anything further, he was forced to activate his cloak as a group of alien fighters flew by. While he wished deeply to engage the nuisances, he knew better than to start a fight he couldn't win. At least, for now.
