Taking me from the end seems...unnecessarily cruel.

"The End" Prowl?

[Guess who doesn't know about your fate :<]

[theninjabot]

The end, yes.

[He has tact, though.]

Let's just say that in the future things get a bit...slagged for us, as Bumblebee would say. It's nothing you should worry about right now.

[zerotohero]

[Oh yes, he's just going to let that go and be perfectly happy not knowing- haha right.]

If it has something to do with my team, then I have every right to worry.

[Cause the mun takes him from the second-to-last episode like the charming person she is.]

Tell me what happens.

[theninjabot]

[W E L P]

[He has too much respect for Optimus to try and sugar-coat this.]

Megatron is defeated, and both Cybertron and the Earth are saved.

I go offline in the course of the battle.

1/2

[zerotohero]

...

[zerotohero]

[It's just like all the other battles isn't it? He and his team somehow manages to ultimately reach their goals, but they always end up losing something in the process. The allspark, Omega Supreme, and now Prowl. Part of him wants to blame himself, but he knows better by now.

It's good to know that they defeated Megatron though, and that Prowl's sacrifice was not in vain.]

I see.

So... your Mundane brought you back somehow...?

[Wait, muns can do that?]

[theninjabot]

[He sort of has no idea how to deal with this beyond his usual silent stoicism. No one ever tells you how to handle telling one of your friends that you're going to go offline in the future. He doubts they cover it at the academy.]

She is certainly considering it. These organics have unusual abilities in that respect.

[zerotohero]

[If there was a lesson at the Academy that taught them how to deal with situations like this... then he probably accidentally skipped it while trying to keep Sentinel out of trouble.

No, don't get awkward now Optimus, you're doing so well!]

Well, I'm glad you're alright, and the best of luck to the both of you.

My mun wants you to know that you're always welcome in our game! I have the Plant here, and I've managed to keep the Jet twins out of your room.

[And the Baby!Starscream, who has mysteriously disappeared for the third time wut.]

[theninjabot]

[Little smile, yes let's not dwell on the past. Finally learned that lesson.]

Thank you for that. Those two are as overcharged as Bumblebee. Which game is this?

[zerotohero]

That would be ink_city, there's a lot of us here, though some of us are still... offline... due to the Cosmic Rust that's been happening over the past two weeks.

[He managed to keep all the younger bots safe... at the cost of his own life.]

[theninjabot]

["Yikes" would be the human term.]

Cosmic Rust. Sounds unpleasant. Is the whole team there?

[zerotohero]

[The mun is actually proud that the event effectively killed off half the cast in one swoop. It was all Swindle's fault too.]

"Unpleasant" doesn't even describe half of it. And no, it's just me.

[Though if Prowl does show up, he hopefully won't mind sharing the Plant with two twins, a baby!starscream, Blurr, Wasp, and maybe a Starscream clone.

Optimus likes strays.]

Me and a few guests I guess.

[theninjabot]

[Of course it was Swindle's fault :|]

What kind of..."guests"?

[Bossbot y u adoptin 'Cons.]

[zerotohero]

[Oh...hehe...guests...]

Well, bots from our own universe that happen to be in the City. I figured that it wouldn't do any harm to give them a place to stay.

[Because the plant was big, silent, and very lonely without his team there. So who better to fill it than an extremely mismatched group of misfits?

Also he may be avoiding naming them right now... But check out that totally-not-false smile!]

[theninjabot]

...Right. [Probably better if he doesn't know all the details, anyway.] I'm sure you have everything under control.

[zerotohero]

[It's probably better for everyone.]

Oh I do, with Blurr's help. Wasp's too actually, you wouldn't believe how far he's come since you met him...

[And he's not a mutant either, which is always a good sign.]

[theninjabot]

To think that Wasp of all bots would show anything resembling leadership...

[bestfreedomfighter]

My compliments to your Mundane, Autobot.

[theninjabot]

[HOLY CRAP IT'S MEGATRON.]

[...Is his internal response, but outwardly, so totally zen.]

And why do you say that, Megatron.

[bestfreedomfighter]

For bringing you back to suffer.

My only regret is that it will not be by my hand.

[Being defeated and all that leaves some Decepticon Leaders rather bitter.]

[theninjabot]

You will now never be able to make anyone, bot or organic, suffer again.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Swoop sorry him ninja-bot's mun mean to him.

... But me glad to see you anyway.

[theninjabot]

Swoop...?

[Little smile.] So you can talk. I am glad to see you too.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Uh-huh! Him Grimlock just... like to talk more.

[And Swoop is smart enough to let him. He's the flock leader, after all.] You ninja-bot okay?

[theninjabot]

He certainly does. Rather like another bot I know.

I am...alright. There's no need for concern.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

... You know other bots, act like Grimlock? [MOST BAFFLING THING HE'S HEARD.]

Good. Swoop was worried. Heard things go... not so good.

[theninjabot]

I know two who are twice as talkative, if not more.

...Everything worked out in the end, which is the important thing. The Earth was saved, as was Cybertron.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

... That little bit scary.

Glad. Me like Earth. Still no know Cybertron, but probably nice like Earth too, yes?

[theninjabot]

A little bit.

It is. Maybe you'll see it someday.

[prettyfly4adinobot]

Me no know how you handle it. Ninja-bot must have more patience than most bots.

Maybe. Swoop would like that.

[theninjabot]

It's something I've had to work hard on.

[stillness_then_strike]

So it goes. But, on the other servo, it'd seem that the place you -- I -- would be going might need us. Someone... more stable than the others of our kind there.

[theninjabot]

It does sound like they could do with a bit of balance. All it would take to break the truce would be a more ambitious Decepticon showing up. Or perhaps Sentinel Prime.

Still, it would be a sizable burden to have on my servos. And on the servos--er, hands--of my mun. She doesn't think herself ready.
