On somewhat dramatic happenings in game

[deceptionshark]

So... I suppose you can say

That no one won that little game.

I truly hoped you suffered... Optimus.

...

[deceptionshark]

Optimus.

What a delight it is to see you as I am.

[thelastprime]

Megatron.

If you believe you have broken foundation because of this, you are mistaken.

doubletrons all the way across the sky

[throughtyranny]

I would expect nothing less from myself.

[deceptionshark]

[Heh.]

It was quite glorious, if I do say so myself.

[throughtyranny]

A shame that Ratchet had to ruin things. The expression on Optimus' face when his own medic extinguished his spark would have been more than interesting to witness.

[deceptionshark]

His suffering is what made it all worth it in the end.

And I am not out of the game just yet.

[throughtyranny]

Indeed. And perhaps there's only more to come.

Yes, I've heard that your mundane has some rather interesting plans for you.

[awardedhighesthonors]

From where I stand, that's victory enough.

[deceptionshark]

[Ahhh you.

Yes, he owes you Ratchet.]

Our game is not over.

Even if I have to break time and space itself, you will pay for what you did.

[awardedhighesthonors]

Oh, I'm sure. Because that worked so well for you last time.

[deceptionshark]

Did Optimus suffer? Did he feel the agony of watching helplessly as his closest and dearest friend took his own life?

Or you, when you realized how willingly he would have given his life to save yours.

You know I would have killed him and kept you, right?

[awardedhighesthonors]

You might have the answers yourself, had it once occurred to you to pay attention.

[deceptionshark]

I know the answers.

They are the outcome I wanted.

[He wants to destroy you. Completely and totally. What you did to him goes deeper and more damaging than anything Optimus could have done.

His hatred towards the medic is now very, very personal.]

I still know of all the doubts and weaknesses within your own mind.

[awardedhighesthonors]

[Oh, good. They're on the exact same page here.]

I'm not the only one who has them.

[deceptionshark]

[Optics narrow and Megatron longs for the satisfaction of pulling out his sword and beheading the wretched medic.]

One day I will tear apart your dreams and aspirations, and destroy all you love in front of you. Optimus' death by my hand is all but assured.

You will be made to suffer then.

[sweet_riiiiims]

Understatement of the cycle, Lord Megatron.

[deceptionshark]

I understand that you are not performing your assigned duties as my Second in Command, Knock Out.

[sweet_riiiiims]

Yes, well--it's hard to perform said duties when you're put into near-stasis by an Autobot...

[He probably shouldn't have shown up at all, should he?]

[deceptionshark]

Excuses.

I do not accept excuses for months of failure on your part.

[Suddenly Megatron is quite in Knockout's face, an arm reaching out and latching onto the medic's shoulder.]

[sweet_riiiiims]

[He should get used to this, but no, it's still terrifying the millionth time around. Knockout cringes in the scarred visage of his leader.]

But Lord Megatron! Wasn't it me who brought you Skyfire to your ship?

And don't forget who watched the Nemesis in your absence, never assuming leadership unlike other second in commands--if you forgive my boldness.

[deceptionshark]

[Megatron retreats ever so slightly at that.]

Considering the soon-to-be state of the Nemesis... I believe you were destined to fail one way or another.

[sweet_riiiiims]

To be fair, Lord Megatron...this isn't the first time the Nemesis has crashed.

PRETENDING THAT THAT DID ACTUALLY HAPPEN WHOOPS

[illuminaria]

I don't understand how you could---

[ One little body full of so much rage. ]

How-----how dare you!

I SAW NOTHING I SWEAR

[deceptionshark]

Of course you do not understand, fleshling. It it something that falls far beyond your comprehension.

[illuminaria]

I understand perfectly; it's obvious you don't have a heart.

Or whatever you call it---[ It's a spark, dear.]

[deceptionshark]

You would be wise not to speak to me in such disrespectful tones.

Considering how easily I can crush you.

[illuminaria]

And you would be wiser to know that what makes a great leader isn't fear, it's the people that choose them.


I will never be scared of you.

[deceptionshark]

You undervalue the power of fear and the appreciation of strength that warriors have. I am their leader, their source of terror and admiration. You know nothing of the mind of a warrior nor the true elements of Leadership, human.

[illuminaria]

Leaders and warriors are equal because without the other, they are nothing.

You don't know what I know, and that's why you're not a great leader like you think you are.

If you know it, then why does your faction change leaders almost every two weeks?

[deceptiveplane]

You don't feel like your plans are even the slightest bit overcomplex, My Lord?

[deceptionshark]

Not at all Starscream.

They do what they need to do.

[Unlike you.]

[deceptiveplane]

[HE DID PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL YOU SHOWED UP.]

Like leave the Nemesis unattended when those Autobots showed up?!

[robotfightclub]

[As angry as she is over this whole thing--and trust me, it's a lot of anger--there's just one thing that has to be said that hasn't been already.]

You forgot the whale.

[You can't even destroy a toy, good job.]
