(( Getting caught up! ))
As posted by Starscream: *After leaving the Arctic -- first retrieving the pair of spears from the doorway and finding they could subspace the weapons now (and, subsequently, the entrance to the passage was sealed again)-- the Seeker Brothers lead the group south...and just shy of the other pole, stop in Australia, at Ayers Rock to be specific. Upon the top of the formation Sunstorm locates a set of grooves that fit the shape of the spears and blades, and he and Starscream place the weapons as they did in the Arctic. A section of the ground slides inward to reveal a staircase leading down. Starscream eyes it, waiting for another energy test to appear around the opening, but there's no trace of any bluish -- or any color -- light. The Dark seeker enters first without making any snide comments for a change.*
Sunstorm followed his twin into the dim rock chamber, when the colors changed and the area became dark and warm... not much like the Pit he first taken Starscream to some time ago. A purple light glowed, the hue of things tainted by the Dark powers. This did not bother him yet that the place appeared similar.
Before he could speak, the following actions made very little sense. His brother suddenly turned and shot him through the core with his null rays set at a lethal setting. No explanation, no words... only cruel laughing was heard when Sunstorm began to fall.
He kept falling... everything in his sight faded into darkness. Nothing but Darkness. It felt like he somehow fell right through the Earth into a portal that deposited him into the cold, unfeeling Darkness of space. Betrayal shocked through him, realization of failure. Of being taken aback by those he thought would do his bidding.
Words did not form in his vocalizer, he felt unable to move. Coldness seemed to seize him as his energy drained. Was he dying... had his precious gift of Light been robbed from his core? How..? He thought the Oracle would protect him always, to grace him the power to complete the task that was asked of him. Panic. He had not done anything to fulfill the Prophecy yet.. why was this happening now?! Betrayal... it began to burn intensely. No one could help him now. Everyone despised him... these unruly heathens consumed only with thoughts of greed for ultimate power! Darkness was all he saw... and felt. Forsaken.
They must be destroyed!
He clenched his fists, his optics flared with the actual flames of fire. Volatile radiation burned though his lines, made unstable by the Darkness. Poisoned through and through by this overwhelming Darkness that desired to destroy anything it consumed. His armor began to melt, ooze, detach... and then the Great Dark One became visable in the void of space.
Sunstorm felt his core grow hotter as his own inexplicable hunger for destruction grew. Everything must be destroyed... Him most of all! He glared at the massive God of Choas, attemptng to fly toward Him... but failing even that...
Weak. Alone. Agonizing pain that lead to nothing gained for all he had endured. Or was it...?
Suddenly an explosion enveloped him in Darkness, bringing him back to more familiar surroundings when the debris cleared.
