[Video-open] Mega-thread of Mega-doom.

[He's sitting on his 'chair' in the Hollow's empty throne-room...looking more scuffed than normal. From the small energon stains, the dust, and the smirk on his face...it might be obvious he just came from the Arena. It definitely looks as if he won.Soundwave and Ratchet both disappeared for three days: I have the evidence of their absence, right ( Read more... )

[Starscream growls in response, though there isn't much he can really do about it at the moment.]

... I will ... kill you.

[He smirks, and rests a hand on a particularly damaged seam.]

No you won't.

[Goes to push Megatron's hand away, though there isn't much power behind his movements.]

Even the mighty fall ... and you are hardly even ... that.

Then I'll have a shorter drop. [He laughs, and lets his hand be pushed away.]

So sad to see you like this, Starscream. At my mercy.

What ... Is the point of all this?

[He makes a slight gesture with his hand.]

An attempt to ... show off? Push around ... your authority?

[Small laugh to cover up any pain he was feeling from his movements.]

You're as predictable as the rest.

Maybe I am just curious about you.

You compliment me; you insult me. You admire me; you hate me.

And you.

[He found a loose wire, and squeezed it.]

You drew out the war.

[Starscream made a small sound almost like a 'yipe' at Magnum squeezing on the wire. He should let up and just stay quiet ... But some how that probably wouldn't change whatever was going to happen to him.

So he could either try begging or use his time to just infuriate Megatron.

Decisions, decisions.]

Me? ... Don't blame me for your ... own failures. If you were a better leader ... you would have ... already won. But you're losing ... aren't you? So you blame everything but ... yourself.

Oh, I don't argue that. There is much I could have done to foster the spirit of comraderie that we began the war with. I live for competition--Decepticons do--but...

Obviously, it did not work out well. The competition inside caused us to fail.

That, Starscream, is your own doing. I may have encouraged infighting but it seems I never lost sight of the goal.

You did.

And now you're making friends with Autobots.

No!

[Starscream growls and tries to move himself despite everything.]

We lost sight of the goal because it was never really there to begin with. It was always about your own control, your own glory -- not our faction's.

If I were leader, we would have already won, I would have --

[Of course the sudden realization of Megatron speaking of him being friends with Autobots throws him off -- his statement suddenly lost.]

No. [He counter's Starscream's fire with his own, cold ice, laying a hand over his cockpit and pressing him back down to the bench.]

That is what you make it out to be.

Yes, it is for glory, but it is for the glory of any who can take it--against the Autobots, for our cause.

Can't you sacrifice your own pride to focus on what is important?

Or would you rather dally with those who really will subvert you?

[He falls back against the bench, unable to really fight with Megatron on that.

At least physically.]

It's about your own power and control of us all. You only preach it about being a cause to gain followers.

But really the only one who subverts me is you.

Power? Control of all of you?

[He laughs!]

What would I possibly want with having to proto-sit all of you?

Tell me, Starscream, what sorts of things do I have my army do?

Reply

[action] airspacecommand June 23 2011, 14:30:18 UTC
No.

[Starscream just glares]

I'm not telling you anything else. Figure it out yourself.

Reply

[action] not_your_gun June 23 2011, 17:24:04 UTC
Oh, why not?

Why not tell me what it is you hate about your Megatron so much?

I'm sure it would be enlightening.

[action] airspacecommand June 23 2011, 19:16:49 UTC
Because you are the same.

[If Magnum was still conversing off and on with Shockwave, he'd probably give Megatron all sorts of ideas anyway.]

[action] not_your_gun June 24 2011, 02:55:26 UTC
I don't have to be.

[The words are still hard...but the edge is gone.]
