Nexus. By the sign. Meeting with another Starscream

[random_xtras]

Now that comment evokes a shrill bray of laughter from Starscream.

"This I have to see!"

Yes, Megatron is standing in the same general direction that that 'Phhhhtthhh!' just came from.

His glower dares you to comment on it.

Starscream comments, alright.

He comments with shrieking gales of laughter that make his reaction to Atlanta's commentary look positively restrained.

"You? You?"

"This Autobot is concerned about you? Look at you! Oh how the mighty have fallen!"

Megatron is reminded of why he used to rip his own Starscream's wiring out so often in the past.

His glower turns toward the red Autobot femme, and then he dismisses her with a snort. "Why should she be concerned about me?"

Megatron lifts a brow ridge, his expression saying that he's wondering if this Starscream has some sort of malfunction. The part of him that's no longer Megatron notes that arguing with a fool can make you a fool yourself. Still, he wishes he could take this one back in time and show him just how deluded he'd been as he'd faced the very embodiment of chaos and told him to slag himself.

"I know nothing of Primus," he says at last, dryly. "But the last time I looked delusions didn't eat moons and destroy space shuttles."

Well, now. Either this Megatron was from a deluded empty world, or he truly was insane.

To claim even knowing of the mythology of the Chaos Bringer -- ignoring the fool notion of having defeated it without Primus' Matrix -- but no knowledge of Primus itself? Ridiculous.

"So you destroyed some rogue bit of world-destroying weaponry. What of it?"

"You're a fool and ignorant, and your fool's story just fell apart. Even a newly built or budded Decepticon, even an Autobot for that matter, knows the myth of the originator of us all."

"The legends I know." Megatron snorts impatiently, then stills as he feels a stirring in his spark. "But I've only once seen anything that might have been his work."

When he'd passed that very Matrix to a young Autobot and told him to kick Unicron's skidplate.

"If you know the legends, perhaps you should learn to speak better then. Because if you the legends, why should you claim you 'know nothing of Primus'?"

"Because those legends say that all of Cybertron -- including its denizens -- are the work of Primus. And yet you say you've only seen one thing that may have been its work?"

Starscream shakes his head. This is unbelievable, and gone well beyond funny.

[random_xtras]

"Because I haven't lived this long by trusting in legends. And I still barely believe what I saw that day." He looks away. No reason for Starscream to see that his optics aren't as red as they were a moment ago.

"Then don't expect me to be impressed by your claims of defeating 'Unicron'."

[random_xtras]

"I expect nothing from you, Starscream." Megatron's voice is strangely calm as he turns and goes through the portal, his tell-tale optics still hidden. "Perhaps, with time you'll learn to see past yourself. But now... you're not worth my time."


((Thanks for the thread :D))

"Spoken like a true coward, Megatron. I can only hope that the 'Decepticons' of your world tear you to pieces an install a true leader."

Starscream isn't put out by the calm. He's too busy making mental notes of the portal's location. Even if not of use to him, someone may find it worthwhile indeed.
