rw'Verse. Heart of Cybertron. Super Energon
-...Stomped by freaking Unicron....-
-Yes, I know. I was there, remember?-
-Maybe if you and Prime hadn't been distracting me...!-
-Shut up and let me think.-
-Hey, I offered a plan.-
-Bonding with you is not an option.-
-Why?-
-SHUT UP!-
-....-
Up near the ceiling of the super energon chamber the bit of combined energy that was Blackout and Shockblast watched as Megatron spoke to the Maximus trio and then belly flopped into the pool to be reborn as Galvatron. Superion Maximus rejected his claim of mastery and was pursued by his former teammates, and then Galvatron called for Terrorcons and watched as they landed in the pool only to be overcome and destroyed.
-Ooo, nasty.-
-Shut up, Shockblast.-
-Thrrpt.-
She absently promised him a punch in the faceplate once they both had bodies again, then started as she heard a challenge called in a familiar gravelly voice. -Starscream.-
* * *
"So here you are, Megatron." The Seeker scowled and freed his sword from his wing. "I should have known that your being dead was too good to be true."
"The name is Galvatron," retorted his former master impatiently. "But I don't expect a grunt like you to remember it. And soon you'll remember nothing, when I've finished with you."
"Your insults and threats mean nothing to me. You're only a blight that needs to be stamped out."
"Like I stamped out your precious leader?" Galvatron smirked. "Where is your oversized female harpy now, hmmm?"
"Primus knows." Starscream's voice was calm and quiet as he studied the larger mech. "And Primus will extract payment for her destruction."
"Big words." Galvatron laughed. "Primus is dead! I have this super energon, and now nothing can beat me! Do you understand?"
Starscream's only reply was to attack.
Galvatron was slightly taken aback, but he pulled out his own sword and countered the attack, once more laughing as the flier was knocked backward nearly to the other side of the chamber. "I think you'll be joining your leader very soon, Starscream."
Another silent attack followed, and the watchers above sparked silently with approval at the wordless ferocity and quiet calculation in the Seeker's movements.
"You're starting to annoy me!" snapped Galvatron after a flurry of swordwork had left him no closer to destroying his swift and determined opponent. "Haven't you anything to say for yourself?"
"Not particularly, no." Starscream attacked again, only to wince as a fist caught him in the chestplate and knocked him spinning backward again. He hit the far wall, and then bounced forward to land with a splash in the pool.
Galvatron blinked as the ripples died down, and then started to laugh. "So much for that scum! Only a true Decepticon can absorb the super energon and survive!"
"And so I have!" Starscream shot upward, newly silver optics blazing. "Prepare to meet your doom, Galvatron!"
The purple mech froze with utter surprise, and then turned and shot for the hole in the ceiling, the wind of his wake blowing Blackout and Shockblast aside. Starscream followed hot on his heels, and soon the chamber was empty but for a few confused Terrorcons.
* * *
-Aren't we going to go and see what happens?-
-No.- Blackout poked at Shockblast. -We're going to take a swim.-
-What? Oooo. You think that'll work?-
-It can't hurt at this point. Drop into the pool.-
-You got it, leading lady!-
-Being linked with Unicron has driven you insane.-
-I skipped the drive and took the shuttle.-
-Just get us into the slagging pool.-
-Banzai!-

Demolisher frowned and looked around as he thought he caught a familiar scent, then yelped as he saw the green gas creeping over the ground toward where he, Belladonna, and Bullseye crouched in a ruined doorway and exchanged fire with escaped Decepticon prisoners. "Energon! We have to get out of here!"
"This way!" Belladonna turned to crawl through the rubble behind them, but then paused as the ground started to shake. "What?"

Optimus stared upward, distracted from speaking to Constructicon Maximus and Bruticus Maximus, and bemused by the ferocity of the battle he was witnessing.
"Is that Starscream?" asked Ironhide, sounding amazed.
"Ow...." Kicker actually winced in sympathy for Galvatron.
"We have to help him!" shouted Bruticus Maximus, launching into the air.
"Not on my watch!" A white, red, and blue blur flashed over and tackled him.
"Superion Maximus, you traitor!" bellowed Constructicon Maximus, clenching his fists.
"The ground is shaking again." Omega Supreme turned his head, then looked up as something else burst from the bowels of the planet.
"Blackout!" cried Kicker, his eyes wide with amazement behind his helmet visor.
"And Shockblast!" Ironhide brought his gun up to bear.
"No!" said Optimus, remembering how Blackout had soothed the tormented Decepticon just before Unicron had stomped both of them to seeming oblivion. "He's with us now."
Blackout looked down at her teammates as Shockblast laughed and took a potshot at Galvatron that nearly took the top off an energon tower. "Get inside! There's energon gas heading this way! Take the Miranda 2 away from here!"
"What about you?" called Optimus.
"I can't leave my family!" protested Kicker. "They're still here!"
"I'll be safe, and I'll find them. Now go!" She turned and plowed into Bruticus Maximus at full speed.
"But...." Kicker kicked the ground.
"Here it comes!" Optimus turned to look toward the creeping green cloud. "Evacuate, now!"
"No!!!" Kicker took off across the battered landing pad.
Superion Maximus turned and swooped the boy up, then headed for the ship. Blackout was aware of it lifting off, but she was too busy to really attend to it.
-Yes, I know. I was there, remember?-
-Maybe if you and Prime hadn't been distracting me...!-
-Shut up and let me think.-
