It was weird to be truly free, having no one to report to, to watch over or keep safe from their own stupidity. Freedom to do whatever she wanted.
She was currently sitting on top of a mountain, broodingly pondering on what her next move would be. Thinking for herself was a novelty that she wasn’t enjoying so much. Browsing through her old comms from the war, she stumbled on the name of a mech she hadn't thought about for a long, long time.
Thundercracker
Grinning, Skywarp transformed in her alt mode and headed for the general direction of the Autobot city. Time to play a little game that used to distract her in the downtime during the War. Time to become her secret alter-ego; Stalker-mech. With a loud giggle, the last one before she got into stealth mode, she landed at the edge of a thick woodland.
She stretched her neck by swinging her helm to the left and right. One hard centering vent.
Operation TK TC Activated.
Skywarp sent the next cycle slowly warping closer and closer to the Autobot City, careful not to be spotted. Time had no meaning for her when she was so ingrained in her alter-ego, the only thing that mattered was stalking.
Her patience paid off when she warped by the other side of the woods surrounding the city to finally spot her mark. She thanked Primus and went back in stealth mode to spy on the Seeker. She would wait for the best time to pounce on her prey.

Thundercracker welcomed the times he could step away from the city life, especially when he had been so busy as of late with his screenwriting and movie making. It felt like much of his time was always split between Hollywood and Autobot City, more often focusing on his true passions than GHOST as of late. After everything that had happened he wasn't so keen to be associated with them.
Hell, he had half a mind to tell the Autobots and humans to shove it.
"Come on Buster!" If there was anything Thundercracker could be happy about though was his little fuzzy companion he had gotten in recent months, a year old pup he called Buster. The brownish blond dog gave a few excited yipps having busied herself sniffing at each tree but quickly scampered after the Cybertronian. The two had bonded well despite Thundercracker's concerns for his massive size in comparison to the mutt. But, she had taken to him surprisingly well, now the two nearly inseparable depending on where he went. She was his only good thing going these days and he was more than content just to spend time with the little dog as the two were enjoying a little walk together outside the city.
All the while, the blue seeker seemed oblivious to his stalker. Given the exchange he had had with Starscream before the breakout, the mech was not too concerned with being tracked down. There were higher profile targets out there, so he expected he would be low on any escapee's priority list at the present. And if it did come down to it, Thundercracker could still hold his own as he strolled along the woods with his little organic creature companion.

Skywarp was patient, the right time would present itself, all she had to do is wait. Waiting is boring but not when she’s in Stalker-mech mode.
Analyzing movements. Calculating opportunity and momentum.
The little creature did not interest her, her sole focus was on that damn traitor. Everyone was pointing fingers at Megatron and Optimus Prime but it didn’t sit right in the Seeker’s guts that some ‘Cons were given such free reigns while others suffered either in Bot Brawls or rotting and being tortured in G.H.O.S.T. jail.
Carefully hidden in the tree, she kept her optics on the mech as he got closer and closer to her position. They were far away enough that by the time help arrived she would be long gone. She had fought Optimus Prime and Megatron, hell was still bearing the mark of that fight on her wing. She was confident enough she could take the blue Seeker down.
It was, as always, only a question of surprising her mark.
The moment came, her perfect opportunity. With a white and red flash of light, Skywarp appeared above Thundercracker, letting herself fall on the mech with a scream, her saw powered a few inches for the main fuel line in his neck. She was glaring, whole frame shaking with pure rage.
“DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW, YOU SLAGGING TRAITOR, THAT THEY WERE TORTURING US?”

Everything happened so fast.
Thundercracker had seen a flash of white and red, but was too slow to react to whatever it was that had caused it. "Buster run!" Those were the only words Thundercracker got out before he felt the weight of Skywarp fall on top of him, sending him crashing on his back with a low growl. "Skywarp..." She was the last Seeker he would have ever imagined seeing after all this time, grabbing her arm and pressing it back to keep the saw from hitting his main fuel line.
Her angered words though made him narrow his own optics towards her, "No I had no idea! I didn't hear about it until after the fact!" Thundercracker snapped at her, trying to buck her off his frame, wings twitching angrily in the dirt. Out of his sight he could hear the puggle barking angrily as well, worried Skywarp might try and do something to the little creature. "Get off me you crazy femme!" He snarled towards her.

Skywarp was angry, wanted to take it out on someone, and Thundercracker was her current target. His denial only enraged her more. All he seemed to care about was the stupid creature was barking and making an awful lot of noise. The Seeker ignored it, still focused on the traitor.
The buckling didn’t do much to dislodge the femme, only angering her more. With her free arm, she punched down, servos crashing on the ground right next to Thundercracker’s face.
“Not only did they keep us underground, in cages, they brainwashed us, ripped us to pieces and tortured us. While you went ‘round freely, without a fragging care. I know the hatred for the Cons is mostly toward Megatron, but for me, it’s mechs LIKE YOU that are the most traitorous. Not only are you a TURN-COAT, but you betrayed anything you ever stood for by standing by and DOING NOTHING while your KIND, your KIN, your BROTHERS and SISTERS were used by FILTHY ORGANICS.”
Skywarp let out a frustrated cry, kicked Thundercracker and lit up her thrusters, hovering above him with disgust written all over her face.
“The most disgusting part is you probably recharge peacefully without caring about anything but your TRAITOROUS AFT.”

"I DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS!!!"
Thundercracker's voice echoed throughout the forest, causing birds to take flight and the puggle to finally go quiet. Something in the blue seeker seemed to snap in that moment, her words spurring the anger he had tried to keep wrangled in. The punch, the kick, the threatening tone, all that he had ignored up until Skywarp's words came flooding out of her mouth. That was what she had to say after all this time?! After they had known each other for eons, and it seemed like she threw that away on her own delusions. He wished he could blame Starscream, but this...this was completely from the mindset the war had brought, the mindset Thundercracker had always worried about. Now here they were, and she stood by accusing him without considering their history!
"I didn't know what was happening behind closed doors Skywarp! I only knew about Decepticons being imprisoned, nothing more!" Thundercracker snarled as he pushed himself up, anger flashing in his optics. "I told you and Starscream from the very start this war would be our undoing! We were friends for centuries, and now you think I'd purposely put you in confinement to be tortured?! You know me better than that!" Thundercracker's frame shook with rage as Skywarp's had, the blue seeker yelling as he tackled the femme in return, seeing almost nothing but red, "I never wanted to be part of this war!" The blue seeker began swinging his fists blindly, "I told you both it wasn't a good idea! I warned you many times than I care to count we should leave!" Every other word Thundercracker was swinging now, "But you two insisted! you two wanted this! I never stood by the war, the Decepticon ideals, we lost those years ago!"
All the anger and the rage, Thundercracker was releasing in that moment. Optimus' accusations from a few days prior had set that in motion ands now Skywarp just happened to be the catalyst to release the flood gates. No longer was he viewing his best friend, but a stranger that looked like her.
