Breakdown...

It appears my mundane has similar feelings towards the situation. I only wish I could have done something.

[totalhammertime]

Like what? It's not like you haven't killed us off before.

[Everything sucks. Like, seriously.]

[thelastprime]

Every Cybertronian deserves a chance for redemption. If one does not have that hope, we will never achieve peace.

My mundane...as well as I...believe you could have been redeemed.

[totalhammertime]

Isn't that sweet.

[Said half-heartedly, because he's not going to get that chance now is he? Not that he'd want it of course, he's a Decepticon.]

Well, doesn't matter now does it?

[thelastprime]

I suppose not, however, the humans who have watched it certainly have shown their closeness towards you.

You will continue on in spirit.

[totalhammertime]

[Ugh, you're not trying to get sentimental with him are you?]

You say that like I care what humans think of me.

[But he appreciates it.]

[thelastprime]

Better to be worshiped as what you are than despised. They all believed you could be an Autobot.

[totalhammertime]

Me? An Autobot?

Over my dea-

[...]

Well, that's not gonna happen. Ever.

[thelastprime]

The opportunity may have passed, but I still believe it in your spark, which lives on.

[totalhammertime]

I'd never leave the Decepticons.

I had duties here, and I couldn't just abandon them.

[thelastprime]

Perhaps when we achieve everlasting peace...so will your spark.

[hammer_bro]

What's going on? Did something happen to Knockout? I'll wreck whoever touched him!

[totalhammertime]

[Sup other self.]

Nothin' happened to Knockout.

It's us the Mundane's upset about.

[hammer_bro]

Us? Ain't nothing wrong with me. [He pounds his chest]

I'm a big, strong mech. What's to worry about?

[totalhammertime]

[Breakdown isn't going to bullshit anything, not even to himself.]

Arachnid tore me to pieces.

And MECH stole my body.

[...out of everything, that last one pisses him off the most.]

[hammer_bro]

Airachnid? You've got to be kidding me! [Then again... would he kid himself?]

How? Was she allied with someone?

[That last bit makes his lip curl up in a snarl.]

No! I refuse to believe that!

[totalhammertime]

[Yep, big surprise that Arachnid would do it, right?]

She did it herself.

[He snorts.]

Believe it.

Someone better tear those little pieces of garbage to pieces.

[Be it Autobot or Decepticon.]

[hammer_bro]

Great. I must have been acting like a huge idiot to fall into one of her traps. [Smacks himself in the forehead]

Yeah, I- Oh, slag. [He just realized something] Knockout's going to try, isn't he? I don't want him anywhere near those guys!

[splitspark]

This would not have happened if you had merely freed me from that webbing.

You have no one but yourself to blame...

[totalhammertime]

I had her on the run!

[He just got extremely unlucky.]

[splitspark]

Did you not heed the warning our Lord Megatron had given us? There was a reason why you were the backup.

And you have now paid the ultimate price...

[He does feel bad...but you were an idiot, bro.]

[totalhammertime]

[Oh shut up he knows that now.]

Yeah, I guess I have.

[splitspark]

[A small smile across Dreadwing's lips.]

Should you see my twin...

[totalhammertime]

I'll say Hi for you.

[splitspark]

And I will continue to serve our Lord, as you both have.

[totalhammertime]

Yeah...

Look out for Knockout too will you?

[splitspark]

He is the medic, correct?

[Odd little request.]

Whatever for?

[sweet_riiiiims]

And to think Megatron chose Dreadwing over me...

[totalhammertime]

[Oh Knockout.]

Heh, well I guess that's his loss.

You gonna be alright?

[sweet_riiiiims]

On my own? Hopefully.

I'd hate to think of Dreadwing as my assistant. Or worse, Soundwave...

[totalhammertime]

I think you can manage without one.

Just means you have to clean your own tools and stuff from now on.

And keep yourself on task.

[sweet_riiiiims]

Yeah, won't that be fun...

[He doesn't really to have anything for that. No comebacks, nothing.]

[totalhammertime]

Knockout...

[He hesitates, unsure how to word this.]

You'll be fine.

I'll still look out for ya, 'cept in a different way.

[sweet_riiiiims]

[Right, composure. Gotta get some of that back.]

You know I will, I'm always fine~

...unlike my mundane who's just started leaking. Scrap.

[totalhammertime]

[He reaches out and rests a hand on Knockout's shoulder.]

I've never doubted you, ever.

[Now the Mun is getting a little teary-eyed herself...again.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

[He'll place his hand on Breakdown's. He'll miss that.]

Neither did I you, Breakdown.

[totalhammertime]

That's good to know.

[He's sorry that he let you down. His other hand awkwardly reaches out and gently touches Knockout's face. He's not sure what else he can say without... actually saying certain things...]

[sweet_riiiiims]

[Sometimes words really mean scrap and that time is now. Knockout holds on to Breakdown's hand. It's not like he can mope over his death, so he'll just hold on to this moment for now.]

[totalhammertime]

[This moment is all they have don't they? Just one moment that they can...be together. Breakdown admires the smooth shine of Knockout's face, and the elegantly shaped eyes. Knockout was perfect combination of beauty and deadliness, while Breakdown wasn't. They worked well together didn't they?

He's gonna miss him.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

[As for Breakdown, there was the obtuse manner coupled with automobiled aesthetics that attracted the medic. But most of all it was that reliability. Oh, how he'll miss that.

The Nemesis will be certainly boring without him.]

[mega_maiden]

Your mun is crying because she cares. There is no fault in it.

Is Knockout a very strong person?

[totalhammertime]

She's just being a stupid organic.

Knockout's stronger than I am, I know that for sure.

[mega_maiden]

Then he'll make it. He will mourn in what ever way it is your people mourn, but he will make it fine.

[She reaches out, touching his foot.] Will you be alright?

[wheeljackofalltrades]

...Oh, slag, man.

Can't say you didn't see that comin', I mean...you know what side you were on, right?

Just...why'd it have to be that glitch? Thought you were tougher than that.

[totalhammertime]

Yeah, and I happened to like being a Decepticon.

[Huff.]

She got lucky, that's all.

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Either way, probably not the end you wanted, right? Sure Bulk and you had some issues to work out.
