She tells him she can't go to work in her condition, so he offers to take her place, only to learn once he gets there that her job is at a maid café. He's left regretting his fate in life once more while the manager, [[Starscream (BW)#Legends World|the local Starscream]], berates him for not welcoming customers loudly enough.


Armada Starscream questions why they agreed to hire a man at a maid café to begin with, so Legends Starscream reveals that he's not ''actually'' running a little sister-themed café: they're normally a little ''brother'' café featuring male maids. He explains that he only hired Windblade because he felt sorry for her, lost and confused as she was, and Armada Starscream admits that his counterpart is actually a nice guy. He then notices Windblade arriving and prepares to leave, but Windblade isn't her usual self... she's regained her memories, and seeks to destroy the [[Legends World]] again!

Having come to her senses again, Windblade tells Starscream about the Legends World's creation at the hands of the [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]], further explaining that it's an experiment in "[[spirit energy]]" that lets the Zamojin absorb the spirit energy of its residents to grow stronger. This energy is generated by desire, and [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Armada Megatron]]'s recent unquenchable thirst for Transformers toys is threatening to make the Zamojin strong enough to take back control of Windblade. As she despairs to Starscream that she doesn't want to become her old self and destroy the world she's grown to love, the two are approached by the glowing form of [[Swindle (Armada)|Spark Grid]].
Spark Grid tells them that he's a [[Mini-Con]] native to the Legends World, where his people live disguised as toys, and wants to help them protect his world. Starscream recognizes the Mini-Con as a toy he'd had on him—Megatron had given it to him earlier as a reward for a job well done, an occasion that had felt strangely familiar to him. Spark Grid then lends Starscream the power of the Mini-Cons, powering him up into a new form. He valiantly sets out to put stop to Megatron's aspirations, but not without promising Windblade that if she does fall under Zamojin control, he's ready to give up his life to stop her. Meanwhile, in [[MD World|another world]], [[Alexis Thi Dang|Alexis]] is at the beach with her friends...

Armada Starscream ends up in the oddest of places.

Synopsis

Having lost his old part-time job, Armada Starscream is lamenting having to find a new one when he witnesses Windblade collapsing nearby. She tells him she can't go to work in her condition, so he offers to take her place, only to learn once he gets there that her job is at a maid café. He's left regretting his fate in life once more while the manager, the local Starscream, berates him for not welcoming customers loudly enough.

Armada Starscream questions why they agreed to hire a man at a maid café to begin with, so Legends Starscream reveals that he's not actually running a little sister-themed café: they're normally a little brother café featuring male maids. He explains that he only hired Windblade because he felt sorry for her, lost and confused as she was, and Armada Starscream admits that his counterpart is actually a nice guy. He then notices Windblade arriving and prepares to leave, but Windblade isn't her usual self... she's regained her memories, and seeks to destroy the Legends World again!

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Notes

  • The employees of the little brother cafe are directly referred to as "okama" (オカマ), a Japanese slang word for gay men. All of them, including Beast Wars II Starscream, have been previously characterized as gay or feminine in some way.
