A black mustang was parked in one of the hangars at the NEST base. This car had a funny looking set of LED lights on the front just between the grill and the end of the hood. Not judging this color, this car was, in almost all cases, an autobot, though it was not originally one. It was more or less just an intelligent, advanced car, with the ability to transform into an autobot-like form. This car was known as the Knight Industries Three Thousand.
The mustang scanned his weapons, defense systems, and transformation sequences. It's molecular shell was in tip-top condition....All systems green. KITT's scanner hummed passively, pacing out and in in a hypnotizing manner.

Stormbringer landed on his feet. The Autobot had never had the urge to scan an alt-mode, but he had the ability of flight reguardless. He entered the hangar, his red optics scanning the area.
"The energy signatures lead here...but they are not here. Very well then; I have the patience to wait." He said to himself quietly, and sat down on a large crate, thinking.

As Stormbringer sat on the crate, he might just hear the faint sound of KITT's scanner pacing in and out off to his left. KITT was some couple meters away from him. Pretty much done resting, KITT was about to leave. After completing his scans, he detected Stormbringer's presence. Stormbringer was the first he'd seen in here for a while.
The black mustang pulled out of his spot, moving towards Stormbringer's general direction, but also moving away from him. He heard his observation about energy signatures. What signatures was he looking for? Therefore, KITT was curious.
"Looking for something?" KITT inquired.

"What I am looking for is none of your business. Be on your way." Stormbringer said, his red optics glaring down peircingly. He adjusted his fusion cannon slightly, and stood up.
"Do you have a problem with my presence?"

"..." Someone's grumpy. KITT thought, unnerved by the Autobot's glare-as he wasn't looking directly at him anyhow. Something else was bothering KITT-the Autobot, if he was, had readings of a Decepticon. KITTs readings were neutral, leaning more towards Autobot than Decepticon, but for some reason, KITTs censors picked this grey and black autobot as the enemy
The mustang remained where it was, its left side facing Stormbringer. If Stormbringer had access to the NEST base, he couldn't be. KITT was almost certain that this robot was an Autobot...yet was confused by the fact that his readings were more like a Decepticon. Were he human, KITT would have tensed. However, KITT showed no signs of confusion, and the flat, emotionless tone of his voice showed it. "No, what ever made you think that?" He finds a simple question offensive?

Stormbringer stepped forwards, more into the light cast by the flourescent bulbs in the hangar, revealing a face exactly like that of Megatron; every aspect of the Autobot matched Megatron, and since his Autobot vigil had recently been blasted off, he appeared by all means to BE Megatron.
Stormbringer glared down at the mustang, his red optics as peircing as a spear.
"You are in no position to ask such questions; leave now before you incite my temper."

He really DID look like a Decepticon. But the readings weren't as strong...then again, he'd never fought Megatron before, and KITT heard Megatron was supposedly destroyed, KITT's red flags were going off like crazy (figuratively speaking, of course). The car sat there, scanner huming faintly as it always did, his neutral, unshaken artificial voice hinting he didn't seem too scared of this bot, whether he really was a Decepticon or not. KITT had never really seen Megatron...but he knew what a Decepticon was, at least.
"Your haughty behavior does not sway my judgement and tolerance, Decepticon." the Autobot tested the theory, merely to see how Stormbringer would respond. "A few simple answers would be nice, but it looks like I cannot convince you to drag the answers out of your system. I'm scanning our systems quite thoroughly and I have reason to deduct that you might be the enemy. Is there anything wrong with simply asking a few questions so no one gets hurt?"

Stormbringer's fists clenched, and he growled, grawing his energon sword.
"The only one being hurt in this situation is you!" He roared, and kicked the mustang out of the hangar before leaping out himself, his fusion cannon trained on the car.
"Do you have any last words before I turn you into a peice of burning metal?"

(hey, watch the power playing >.> Making contact like that is considered it, you know. *waggles pointer finger*)
KITT skidded out the hangar, burning rubber. Oddly enough, though the kick was strong, the dent Stormbringer made healed up rapidly. The advanced molecular shell preformed marvelously, sealing up the damage. KITT transformed into his attack mode, looking very similar to his original mustangs form, only the underside glowed a bright blue, with a few other structural changes. KITT turbboosted backwards, lifting off the ground and careening backwards. As he shot backwards, KITT transformed into his aerial attack mode, a black, agile, cobra helicopter.
KITT hovered above and before Stormbringer several yards away. the attack helicopter moved forward, its intense rotor wash from its fully articulated rotor system threatening to pound against Stormbringer's large form as a magnetic force field encased KITTs form, including the total rotor disc area.
"Easier said than done. While I have no qualms with fighting you, please clarify. Are you the enemy, or not? Do not take this offensively when I say my scans indicate you might be."

"I should be asking you the same question." Stormbringer said back. the jets in his feet roared to life, propelling him backwards and upwards, a distance away from the helicopter. Stormbringer's two gatling guns flipped forward from his back, aimed at KITT.
"As you are the one who is invading Autobot territory!" He shouted, and opened fire, aiming for the rotors, which Stormbringer knew to be the weakest part of the Human vehicle.

KITT swerved to his right, and the force field shimmered blue as some of the barrage made contact with the area aimed upon him. Quickly he transformed, keeping the shield activated.
He landed on the ground, meeting Stormbringer's height in his Autobot form, the symbol revealed on his right shoulder, appearing a bit lighter than the rest of his pitch black armor. His eyes were the scanner, and it appeared as one bar, his real optics hiding underneath them...somewhere. In his right hand, was a brightly glowing red energy sword (like the ones from Halo!), and in his left arm was a plasma energy gun.
KITT sighed, keeping up his shield. He remained in a fighting stance ready to fight back. But, KITT turned his right side towards Stormbringer, showing him the autobot symbol. "This is what happens when two energy reading's confuse each other. My apologies for my half of the confusion. Look at the symbol. I'm an Autobot too. I won't take it personally if you don't believe me."

Stormbringer scowled darkly. Megatron's rage was one of the things carried over from his predecessor. And, there had been bots in the past who had been able to change their vigil at will.
"Of course you're an Autobot. You're as much of an Autobot as I am an organic!" Stormbringer spat, not buying it. "Faction vigils have been used against us in the war; I will not be tricked so simply!" He said, and opened fire with both gatling guns, and his fusion cannon

KITT raised his optics...if they could be seen. He jumped up with the turbo boost, blue energy rocketing out of the sides of his feet, striking the ground in thick pillars, but the heavy duty energy from the fusion cannon and the barrage of bullets struck the lower ends of his force field as he jumped up and over Stormbringer at full speed. The forcefield flickered a bright blue, one even lighter than the intense energy jutting out from his feet. Flipping over the Autobot as he soared, his turbo boost de-activated as he fired his plasma gun at him from above in one hand, energy sword in the other.
KITT landed with a thud. Pivoting around, he shot forward with surprising speed, the pronged, bright red energy sword threatening to strike Stormbringer in the gut. "Then I guess we'll have to let our weapons do the talking!"

((Stormbringer is actually a lot taller than KITT.))
Stormbringer grabbed the arm of the so-called Autobot as he moved in to attack, and planted his fusion cannon against the bot's back, firing a shot down his spine, and throwing KITT to the ground.
"You haven't the slightest inkling who you're dealing with, insolent fool! If you wish to live, drop your weapons at this second. I will not ask you again." Stormbringer ordered, his red optics glaring down at KITT, his weapons aimed down at the black Transformer.

KITT could not believe this bot's behavior. Like Stormbringer, he had a very hard time believing they were true Autobots. It didn't help both their readings were off in different ways.
The shield flickered, partially deflecting of the nasty shot, but the energy slipped, and the intense force still blasted him back as Stormbringer wanted him to. So KITT bounced back from Megatron as his arm tried to reach for his against the shield, which was slow to respond. KITT nimbly regained his stance growling, clenching the large red energy sword. "Do not call me a fool. I was the one that initially tried to negotiate peacefully! You got all ticked with me just because I asked if you were looking for something. AND then you boot me out of the hangar and say I'm too low to even to try to negotiate with you?" He pointed the plasma gun straight at Stormbringer's head threateningly, hoping he would back down. "THAT, my 'fellow autobot', sounds FAR more foolish and IRRATIONAL!"
