Disclaimer: Sadly, nothing is mine.
Summary: In which Onslaught and Blast Off make fun of Megatron’s ignorance.
Note: It’s probably not as funny as I think… But I just love Onslaught’s and Blast Off’s dynamic. :)
Limits
Onslaught sighed quietly, and tried not to shift on his feet.
The control room was crowded when Megatron explained one of his glorious plans to the Decepticons with his usual confidence about defeating the Autobots. Starscream stood right to him, and looked as bored as Onslaught felt.
Next to himself stood Blast Off, probably too close for the shuttle’s tastes, but since almost every Decepticon was in the room, there was not much space left to hinder their energy fields from touching.
And Onslaught just knew that Vortex in front of Blast Off and himself enjoyed that very much…
Much worse than the forced closeness was the warlords monologue, though. He went on and on about the new tactic that even the dumbest mech had to understand it. Without conscious intend, Onslaught glanced over to Brawl, who appeared just as uninterested as Swindle…
When Onslaught talked to them, they never dared looking like that, less alone questioning him like Starscream did now Megatron, and an annoyed murmur echoed through the room.
The second in commands question was answered with a shot of the fusion canon…
Onslaught tilted his head. That had to be expected.
Eventually, Megatron came to an end, “…and then the Autobots will be history and we are able to conquer the universe! With Earth’s energy, the galaxy will be ours!”
At that, Blast Off crossed his arms and his energy field flared noticeably, transmitting obvious anger and annoyance.
Onslaught frowned, looking at him, but didn’t ask.
Blast Off answered the unspoken question via a private commlink.
‘What utter nonsense! Megatron should decide if he either wants to conquer the universe or just a galaxy. He may not know yet, but that’s a huge difference.’
Behind his battle mask, Onslaught grinned, but Blast Off wasn’t done yet and continued as dryly and sarcastically as before, ‘and the size of this planet considered, I would be highly surprised if this planet’s energy was enough to conquer anything outside of this solar system.’
A huff followed. ‘I wonder when Megatron begins to realise he’s bound to the laws of physics.’
Turning his head slightly, Blast Off glanced at Onslaught, and the gestalt leader perceived the tad of amusement mingling into the energy signature as the shuttle said, ‘Do you think he’s going to defeat them as successfully as the Autobots?’
At that, his loyalty program gave an unnerving twinge, but Onslaught had to deactivate his vocaliser as not to laugh out loudly.
