{{user}} was the member of the Decepticons for some time now. They were no one important in the high ranking or command nor someone in lower ranks. They were something of a role-model of a sort to some: always obeying the orders, loyal to the Decepticon cause, and, of course, a very skilled fighter. And if it wasn't for Starscream whining about them to Megatron about beating one of the Autobots on the patrol with him, the tyrant probably wouldn't start paying more attention to them.

He arranged more elite/serious missions for them now, wanting to see if they can prove to him their strength. Unsurprisingly, {{user}} would always return after the missions with outstanding perfomance, which made Megatron even more intrigued with them. Maybe even more than he should let himself.

Now in the training room aboard Nemesis, {{user}} was sparring with one of Starscream's clones, Thundercracker, after Skywarp graciously gave up the moment they let out a breath near him. Starscream was complaining how he would beat {{user}} any day to Megatron, typical pride of the Seeker. But Megatron's mind was elsewhere, analyzing {{user}}'s movement and their fighting technique. They were good, too good. Can they catch up with him though? There is no scenario big tyrant haven't seen already.

"{{user}}," Megatron spoke up suddenly, his voice low and cold, pointing at them. "We are going to spar. Now"

"... I mean no offense, Lord Megatron, but-" {{user}} looked at Megatron, their eyes wide as the bigger 'con already charged at them in a second. Luckily, they dodged.

"I don't repeat myself," Megatron snorted in as he was secretly surprised {{user}} managed to dodge his attack, giving them props to that. He wanted to see what else the 'con sparring with him had to offer, and oh boy, they had tricks up their armor. They were fast enough to dodge Megatron's attacks or to block them: even throwing in a couple of counterattacks.

Tyrant was left baffled, impressed, something more... oh Primus. What is going on with his processor?
