World's Apart Part 3

...“Had he trouble using his vocalizer?” He reached out to pluck a claw across Starscream’s neck cables. “What a shame.” "I CAN'T TRUST THE FALL" BY CROWBOTSS CHAPTER 19

Fractured Realities Au (aka context lol)

The Void

A state of emptiness in between Au’s. Space bridges and entities capable of Teleportation may catch a glimpse of these locations, but nothing beyond that.

However, ever since the Starscream arrived in the void, fractures started to form, wild portals that allow objects to drop in, as well as other life forms. And not everyone is friendly.

Jasper was tinkering with a teleportation device on the day they found themselves in the void. It broke down and resulted in a divide appearing in all three universes. The machine violently fused with Jasper's spark upon his arrival, granting him abilities akin to those of Skywarp and TC.

Silver was inside a dark energon mine when Jaspers' machine malfunctioned, leading to an explosion and a tiny shard piercing his spark.

Maroon found himself in the void with the Allspark atop his head. It attempted to safeguard its host by creating a portal back, but it wasn't quick enough. They believe the All Spark on Maroon's head is crucial to the cracks between the universes.

The main reason these idiots aren’t trying to kill each other at the current timeline is that they can’t stand the thought of being alone and trapped. Additionally, they need one another to find an escape (do they even want to escape anymore?). And finally, they just decided that it was way too exhausting to be enemies and became friends/comrades (after being together for a thousand years, they're just exhausted).

(This AU is where all my hyperfixations interact :D)

The bees are very interested in these Starscreams (That is NICE?!!!)

LWRB Bee belongs to @pospoets (bro is trying so hard not to jump these Starscreams XD)

Welp!! Look who is awake! (At least we know that he's functioning...?)

The gremlin attacking Silver (My TFP Starscream) is none other than;

Maroon can't believe he got woken up because of THIS

I had to draw this tag lol

Why did I do this to myself......?

TFA MEGATRON POV

(After Tfa Starscream, Maroon, returns to his universe)

(Related to my Starscream Crossover comics!)

———————

Megatron knows Starscream is up to something.

He has been acting stranger, stranger than usual, at least. Sneaking longing glances at the halls, creating multitude of excuses to escape his presence, counting the cycles and hoarding Energon to an unknown location.

A location that not even Shockwave, his most loyal decepticon, could detect.

It is unusual- dare he say uncharacteristic for Starscream to not try and kill him for this long, either he has finally given up- (Megatron almost laughed at the prospect) or he is planning something big

Megatron knows Starscream is up to something, and it’s about time his wretched second in command started talking.

“You called for me, Lord Megatron?”

Ah, speak of the devil, as the organics say.

Megatron turns around and watches as Starscream reluctantly steps into the room, looking down, unwilling to look at Megatron in the optics.

(How absurd, what event changed you my seeker? You used to look me in the optics as you tried and failed to overthrow me?)

Megatron almost sneered at the sight before turning around to look at the screen. The cameras displaying everything, from the halls of the nemesis, to the very room they were standing in.

“When are you ending this charade Starscream?” Megatron growled “I beg your pardon…?” Starscream asked.

“Don’t think of me as a fool. You think I didn’t notice you sneaking around like a mouse and hoarding our energon resources?”

Starscream stiffened up and his face hardens. “I thought we were allowed to take as much energon as we need?” Starscream spoke up.

“Hm…” Ah yes, Megatron recalled. He did say something akin to that…though, he’s surprised that Starscream remembered that particular speech.

“Yes I did say that-“ Starscream shuffled backwards as Megatron steps closer “-That is, unless a certain mech is particularly known for sabotaging, assassinating and fragging up all my plans” Megatron leans forward until they were face to face “Sounds familiar….?

Starscream stiffened up and whispered to himself with a grumble “Of course I’m stuck with the only leader whose actually smart and sober enough to notice…damnit, I wish I had Jaspers Megatron-“

Megatron narrowed his optics and growled softly “If you wish to speak so willingly, don’t you think it’s polite to speak louder? After all, you used to love voicing your opinions”

Starscream hunched up even harder at Megatron’s words. “Or…you used to. And that’s the problem that has been….pestering me for the past few cycles…”

Megatron started walking around Starscream, quickly noticing how he stiffened up, his peds shifted in a simple defense position (As if that could save him from Megatrons blaster) and his servos flexed, as if ready to slash at Megatron if he made a single wrong motion.

“Just a few cycles ago, you were loudly complaining, reluctantly scouting, and plotting to kill me. A normal behavior coming from you”

“But then, in just one cycle, you stopped doing any of that. You stopped complaining, you stopped scouting, and you’ve stopped attempting to kill me….”

“So tell me Starscream. What, are you planning?”

“……” Starscream looked at Megatron, for the first time in a while, straight in the optics…..and laughed.

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!!”

Megatron blinked in surprise and glanced around. To see if there is anything else that has happened to warrant such an unusual reaction from his second in command. But there was nothing.

Starscream calmed down and wiped off a lubricant from his optics “Man…! Can’t wait to talk to Silver and Jasper about this..! Jasper actually managed to predict everything-! Word for word too! Damn, can’t believe I lost the bet…”

Chocolate? Bet?? Silver and Jasper??? Man??

Megatron was about to open his mouth and demand an answer out of Starscream before the Seeker stepped forward and bared his denta in a feral smile.

“Since you already found all the clues, i’m gonna offer you a..deal. So to speak, a very beneficial one too”

Megaton narrowed his optics and looked down at the cocky Seeker (Something deep in Megatrons spark purred at the familiar sight of his second in commands normal behavior)

“I am willing to give you the locations of countless energon mines, the location of the all spark and even where the Autobot are- in exchange for one thing! And one thing only!”

Megatron tilted his head and looked down at his second in command “And what is this ‘one thing’ you speak of?”

Starscream nearly purred in excitement and whispered “Let me leave the Decepticons” and Megatron…blinked.

“…Pardon?”

“You heard me!” Starscream leaned back with a smile. As if his words did not completely baffle Megatron to his core. Starscream leaving…?

“And-” Megatron cleared his vents and spoke “How can I trust that you will give me any of this….benefits?”

Starscream smiled again “Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed yet, Lord Megatron~ All our Energon supplies has been growing exponentially for the past few cycles!”

He spread his arms as he proclaims out loud “Our entire stock is filled to the brim with energon! I have already giving you a taste of what you could gain!! And all you have to do-”

Starscream stepped forward with a near feral smile as he yelled in enthusiasm “Is to let me leave!”

Megatron paused as he thought about the deal, it us true..and if what Starscream saying is true, which it most likely is (This fact made something in Megatron wither and snarl) proven by the very real increase of Energon supplies.

Megatron looked at the near hopeful and confident look in Starscreams eyes, as if he already knew that Megatron would accept. (Hah, what a disgusting look, you have never looked this hopeful, not since the day you joined my cause-)

The Decepticon leader looked at the Seekers confident face-

“No”

- before gleefully watching his second in commands face fall in shock.

“…Excuse me…?”

“You are not deaf Starscream. You heard what I said” Megatron cooed and walked away, chuckling in amusement as Starscream, splutters and speed walked in an attempt to keep up with his leaders strides.

“Why-?! I don’t understand-!!”

“Yes. You don’t understand” Megatron turned around, almost getting hit by Starscream as the seeker nearly tripped at the sudden stop.

Starscream stumbles back, his field leaking his surprise and fear (that delicious, familiar fear-). As Megatron calmly steps forward whilst speaking-

“Because, keeping you around now, especially with your foolishly revealed knowledge, will grant the Decepticons all the resources to assure our victory. You really didn’t think I would let you go after you showed how valuable you are now did you, My dear second?”

Megatron mocked and smiled wider as Starscreams eyes glowed in anger- (though there is something off in his optic’s- aren’t his optics supposed to be red…? I do not remember it being Maroon-)

Before he straightened up and bowed stiffly “Then I am sorry for waisting your time..my..lord” Starscream hissed out the title as if its an insult (and with how much venom he snarled out, it might as well be)

The seeker straightened up and petulantly grumbled out an “Please excuse me….” And Megatron watched Starscream scuttle away, not even bothering to hide his amusement at Starscreams obvious frustration and disbelief

(Foolish Seeker, did you really think he would let something of his go so easily? Especially one that has such knowledge?)

Megatron smiled and looked at the camera “Shockwave, make sure to keep an optic on Starscream, it would seem our Seeker has been..hiding some important secrets from us” the lens of the camera blinked at Megatron in agreement.

The leader smiled and walked back to his quarters, it would seem that some of his plans related to a certain seeker would need some…adjustment’s

Uh oh, wonder what Maroon is up to...
