'Ohhh...nothing much...Just merging all of your essence with my own...' It purred enticingly. 

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

That didn't sit well with it, '..Swear yourself to me first. Let me become one with you.'

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

The darkness chortled, 'He was alive once. And you knew him. It really was clever...Swindling a mech like him to trust you. I am sure he feels quite ashamed of himself in the Pit.'

It hissed, 'Then you are of no use to me...The Megatron you want is dead. There is nothing more that you can gain, since neither one of us can die.'

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

The darkness cackled in utter delight at the admission. 'Excellent. No remorse. No empathy. You are resourceful. Use everyone you can...' It shuddered. 'You put Megatron to shame in matters of monsters...'

'Quite right. You retain no vestiges of mortal weaknesses. Help me snuff out Cybertron...Destroy the Matrix with me...'

'Hahaha, but not a waste of mine. Look at what you have done out of sheer hatred for a mech?'

The darkness flashed. The Princess's body falling to the ground. 'Left a dying mech in favor of revenge.'

The demands, so easily accepted, 'Traded his corpse like fodder, denying him a dignified death, after dying for you.'

The nearly pained expression on his face as his body was burned away, 'Defiling his corpse yourself.'

The darkness swelled grotesquely, 'You, too, are a creature of the dark, Starscream. Why not return to the dark? Imagine how we might join with one another? Become even more powerful? All the power in the universe and more.'

'Megatron? He is here...and he is not here....What is left of him...while the rest has long died.'

The shadows slid around his spark, 'His rage. His lust. His will to dominate. They remain. All else has long since departed.'

'I?' The darkness called, laughing softly to itself, 'I do not need to tell you. You have already decided..haven't you?'

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

((Haha! I return!))

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

((NOdding off...It's 1:30 in the am, and I got work in the morning. Will continue tomorrow))

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

The inside was nothing but immense dark void. No spark. No life. Running on sheer rage and hate and lust and pride. He could hardly be called a Megatron any longer...

And then....

Another voice...Chuckling deep and soft...

' Immortal Starscream...I have seen you before...'

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

"He means nothing to you; What does it have to do with deserving?"

Ohhhh gooodd....He swallowed....Ughhh...UUUGHHHHH.....

Immediately, his form sifted and released it, "Disgusting...You're disgusting ..." He snarled and burst again in anger. How aggravating it was to have all the power in the universe and not be able to do anything with it.

"Why don't you just get out of my sight. I grow bored of you." 

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

Bits of scrap and rock and flame spurted from the sight of the explosion. There was a massive suction in of matter...energy...light....

And then another explosion outward. A reformed Megatron appreared before Ghost, snarling angrily, holding up Princess's severed head. "You broke my trophy...." His jaw stretched abnormally, revealing rows and rowed of sharpened denta. Inhaled sharply, trying to draw Ghost down his throat. 

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

Megatron laughed all the harder, revealing his full, dismantled and shifting form. Princess's body was bound close to his loose plating; tendrils prizing into his mouth, wriggling holes in his wings, squirming through the hole in his abdomen.

"I am dealing with a child. You do not even exist to me." He formed a blade, drawling closer, his waves of darkness giving him brevity, "You are nothing. You are slag. You don't exist. You don't exist."

He slashed his sword, giving a fierce swipe of energy at the non-corporeal form. 

The rocks shifted again before…

—SNAP!—

Rocks infused with dark energy caged around Ghost. The dark waves crackled and buzzed with power. Megatron’s dark chuckle could be heard again, ‘We are the same, you and I. You are the sort of mech that takes what he wants. Woe be to those who trust a snake like you…’ 

Whips lashed and shackled around Starscream’s body. ‘You want to kill me? I invite you to try. Not even a God can kill me now.’

Starscream warped to the coordinates Megatron had provided for him, carrying the Princess’s body in his arms. He looked around for him.

“Well?!” he shouted. “Where are you, you coward! Come out! I brought you a toy, now bring me mine!”

He dropped the broken frame on the ground, looking around. But if Megatron doesn’t show within fifteen minutes, he’ll sigh in disgust, and warp back out, to let Megatron collect his prize.

It was all silent for about ten kliks, It was a deathly scene Megatron had selected. A desolate planet, only the vestiges of life remaining. Scattered rock and dusk and husks of wispy plants. 

After awhile, two slithering tendrils snaked along the dusky ground, wrapping themselves around the Princess's body. 'There's my little pretty one...Look how beautiful he is...Deliciously dead...Dead, Dead, Dead...' He forcefully bobbed the tiny seeker's helm up and down mockingly. 

The body was dragged into the shadows, more and more shadowy limbs constricting around his legs and wings.

'So you came...And brought you brought me my prize. Hehehehe....Oh, Starscream, you passed my test after all....' The ground began to shake and shift around them. 

Calling out Megatron.

*A smirk and a strike, and the little femme is ensnared in his inky webbing* Are you frightened? That's good. But I think I can improve on that...

*A dark cloud enveloped her tiny frame, odd srtangled screams reverberated in the cloud, pulses of stinging pain pulsed* 

The femme stares at the larger mech before offering a hesitant smile. “…I’m Scuttle…?”

[no-escape-for-cowards-blog]

I'm afraid I must insist the later. *Reaches out for her, wriggling sinister tentacle*

Ahhhh...He licked his fangs and tensed his plating, ::I think it is you that is the one who is grossly misinformed...I am no longer a mere 'Megatron'...But I think you must be a Starscream under all that false vibrato and poorly bestowed power. Am I correct?::

He purred in perverse delight. ::Good.:: The coordinates were sent with a beep. ::Good luck.::

Megatron.

Where are you, you miserable piece of slag?
