[LJ Text Archive of a post originally here: http://deceptrio.livejournal.com/325.html In this case, I cut and pasted the whole thing for clarity, Also ignore the brief mention of the Reploid Waspy thing and assume Waspy just got into some kind of suitable LOL just before that.]
Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Somewhere in the Southern Cascades in the vicinity of Crater Lake there is a clearing. This clearing is the site for a lethal confrontation between brothers Starscream and Sunstorm. Several Decepticons are in the clearing, mosty on the north side. A few are setting up logs and boulders as seats on the south side, and some Micromaster 'cons are putting out park benches and folding chairs off to one side. Soundwave is finishing up with the assembly of several camera rigs. Megatron is in the center of his minions, in a chair laser carved from a boulder.
A cleared patch of earth, oval and the size of a soccer field is in the middle of the clearing. At one end of the "arena" is a symbol of a star with a wide open mouth. Starscream is standing nearby, getting a pep talk from the Combaticons. The other end of the arena has a symbol of a sun with lightning coming from it. Sunstorm is nowhere in sight.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Well, mighty leader, it looks like my brother has no spine for this sort of thing."
Megatron (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"He is late, Starscream. This is disappointing."
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Not to me."
Shockwave (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Look up. Sunstorm comes."
Various heads rise to track the yellow Seeker as he comes into view in jet mode.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Sunstorm slows as he approaches the arena. Spotting his symbol, he transforms above it and lands. He smirks and waves weakly at the crowd.
Cheering greets him, for the most part, plus a few boos and catcalls.
"I do not know Earth very well, and was confused by my instructions."
"You pack of hypocrites. Millions of years ago I was imprisoned. No one cheered for me then. Now you praise me because my brother and enemy is more hated than I."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Sunstorm faces Starscream. He bows slightly to him.
"I have a few words for you before we fight, Starscream."
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Starscream does not return the bow, choosing instead to cross his arms and look indignant.
"Whatever. Just hurry it up, Sunstorm."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"Typical. You never did have any patience."
Sunstorm taps a part of his arm and reaches into subspace. He pulls out a copy of the Covenent of Primus, aged and rust-speckled. He flips through its sheet metal pages until he finds a passage in the beginning.
"From the book of Forging, chapter one."
"And it came to be that there were two aspects to the universe, one ordered, one chaotic. The Creator bore two gods, brothers, to oversee the two aspects. The god of order was given the name Primus, and given rule over it, and light, and reason. The other god, named Unicron, was appointed to rule chaos, darkness, and madness. With such different natures, it was inevitable that they should fight."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"From the book of Forging, chapter three."
Sunstorm turns the page and reads out loud again.
"And to have soldiers to expand his realm and to fight against Unicron when he did return, Primus created his children, the Cybertronians. The first of them were made from Cybertron's matter directly, but later ones were built by their fellows. Sparks from Primus's fire lit upon the empty bodies, giving them life and mind."
"Sometimes these sparks split into two before indwelling into their bodies, and the Cybertronians that resulted were similar. Primus decided that these should be brothers, just as He had one Himself. They were to fight together against all foes, and to be the closest of friends."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"And lastly, one passage from the First Book of the Oracle, fourth chapter."
Sunstorm turns to a weathered page towards the end of the covenant.
"The sun and his brother shall storm across the face of the world."
Sunstorm closes the book and returns it to his pocket dimension.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"And this means what, my ever zealous brother?"
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"We have rarely gotten along, Starscream. We are too different, you and I. But we are brothers. We are destined to do great things together."
"But you have betrayed me again. I shall not trust you a third time."
Sunstorm's voice rises.
"You have not learned your lessons that Primus has set before you! You have not become a better person in my absence, but have gotten worse! Instead of ignoring me during my arrest, you SHOOT me more more than a few hours after our reunion! I died because of that!"
"And that, my brother, really ticked me off! And what's worse, it slagged the plans of Primus for both of us!"
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"So? There's a whole lot of people who hate me. I don't care."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"It isn't wise to anger a god, Starscream."
Plasma ripples out of Sunstorm's body and forms a shield about him as he flexes his arms.
"And I hear His voice. In order to learn His lessons, you must die. And I must kill you."
"I'm sorry, brother. I love you. But I love Primus more."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"This won't be a permanent death."
Ripples of plasma strike out in Starscream's direction as Sunstorm dashes towards him.
Rampage (psychocrab@livejournal.com)
Rampage waits, apparently calm. He had said he would attend, and so... after convincing Razorclaw to babysit Skitter... here he is.
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
Razorclaw found someone else to watch his little sister, and is hiding under the bleachers, watching....
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Transforming into his jet mode, Sunstorm fires two missles at Starscream.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Starscream shoots one, detonating it, then evades the other one with a roll. The missle flies in a straight line and explodes several miles away.
Turning to face Sunstorm with both cannons ready, he finds Sunstorm ready to ram him, just inches away.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Transforming seconds before impact, Sunstorm bodychecks Starscream and slams him to the ground.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Ouch! Clever ploy, destracting me with your missles."
"But not clever enough."
From a hidden compartment, Starscream retrieves a blade glowing with electrical energy. He plunges it into Sunstorm's hip, and bolts of energy dance across Sunstorm's armor. His plasma goes out and he lies limply on the ground.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
2005-07-03 06:20 am UTC (link)
Starscream gets off the ground and takes a few steps away, then transforms and flies off in a curve, getting to where Sunstorm is in his sights.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Sunstorm gets to his hands and knees, then sees Starscream.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Laughing, Starscream fires four missles, two pairs in succession.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
His plasma shield comes back up, and the missles explode harmlessly against it. Sunstorm transforms and chases after Starscream, guns blazing.
Megatron (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Oh, scrap. I hope they stay in sight. I should have set rules."
Teena (teena_chan@livejournal.com)
"Hindsight is twenty/twenty. Ah well," Teena commented, appearing by Megatron. She tilted her head, watching the fight thoughtfully. "Sunstorm's the older sibling, right?"
Megatron (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Yes, he is.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Starscream rocks back and forth, evading Sunstorm's shots with ease.
"You'll have to do better than that to catch me, Sunstorm. I am the fastest of the Seekers. And way more agile than you."
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"Faster and more agile, sure. But not more cunning."
Continuing to pump plasma bolts at Starscream, Sunstorm readies a different missle, one with heat seeking capiblity and a non-standard warhead. He launches it along with a standard missle.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
With a barrel roll and a reduction in speed, Starscream manages to get behind the two missiles and shoots down the one flying in a straight line. The other one curves to track him, getting out of his aim. He cannot chase it and evade Sunstorm's guns at the same time.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Willingly taking a few hits, Starscream fires two of his missles at the other.
"Using a seeker missle to shoot a Seeker! I didn't think you had a talent for puns."
His missles shoot forward, tracking it and catching up.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"You talk too much in a fight."
Having caught up to him, Sunstorm generates a ball of plasma, which he hurls towards Starscream's side, the side away from the missle.
The plasma ball explodes inches from his left wingtip.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Starscream dodges the plasma explosion with ease, rolling to the right.
And then notices how close to the missles he got just as one of his catches up to Sunstorm's.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
The special warhead was a miniature fusion explosive. A tiny sun is formed for a few seconds above Oregon, and the electromagnetic pulse stuns both Decepticons, Starscream getting the worse of it. Protected by his plasma sheild, Sunstorm is slightly dazed. Both fall from the sky, but Sunstorm manuvers towards Starscream.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
And the remaining missle, its electronics shut down, slams into Sunstorm, the explosion enough to drop his plasma shield and warp his right wing.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Both Decepticons plummet. They hit a mountainside, bounce off of a boulder and plunge through a snowbank.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
With a flare of plasma, Sunstorm angrily melts the snow about him, searchin for Starscream.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Starscream, his right wing bent over by the impact with the boulder, manages to sneak up behind Sunstorm. He shoots him in the back, twice.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
"Aggguhh! Not again!"
Sunstorm whips around, snarling. He jumps towards Starscream, foot jets firing. With grunts from both, he rockets them back towards the clearing. They land about fifty feet from Sunstorm's end of the "arena."
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
BOOOM! A explosion of earth and wildflowers jets up. Sunstorm and Starscream are lying on the ground, stunned.
Megatron (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Scowling, Megatron points at the two combatants.
"Decepticons! Get them back into the oval!"
Sunstorm and Starscream, both stunned, are easily picked up and dumped into the "arena." A few Decepticons take the opportunity to kick Starscream.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
The pain jolts Starscream fully awake. He's hurt. Not only is his right wing bent, but when he gets up, he's limping. Fuel leaks from his left shin. He stands, shakily, and aims at Sunstorm.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Sunstorm wakes up and sees Starscream's twin guns at point blank range. He grabs them by the barrels and ignites plasma over his hands. The barrels melt shut.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
With his null rays having no place to go, the energy coruscates over Starscream, stunning him. Sunstorm, hanging onto Starscream, is also hit by the effect. Both drop to the ground again, Starscream atop Sunstorm.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Slag!" Starscream recovers, and shakes his head vigorously. He's more resistant to his own null rays.
"That slagging hurts! I hate being the target of my own weapons."
Looking down at his stunned brother, Starscream chuckles.
"I guess I was the better one, Sunstorm. Time to die. Again."
Starscream plants one of his cluster bombs on Sunstorm's chest and starts hurriedly limping away.
Sunstorm (glowing_nut@livejournal.com)
Sunstorm regains awareness and sees the situation. He manages to dislodge the cluster bomb and rolls to the side. It vaporizes his left wing and damages his chest armor, but he lives.
"Farewell, Starscream."
As Starscream starts turning back to look at him, Sunstorm fires a powerful shot of plasma through Starscream's back and out his chest. Mortally wounded, his powerplant destroyed, Starscream manages a final scream of rage before he falls.
Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
The Decepticons go wild with a combination of mostly cheers and some boos. The Constructions and Scapel start field repairs on Sunstorm.
Megatron goes over to Starscream and kicks his corpse, then stands there.
"Idiot." (sigh) "Come back soon."
Shockwave directs that Starscream's body should be crated up. He personally scorches "Spare Parts" onto the side of the crate.
After various exchanges of energon credits and other valuables, the Decepticons leave, bidding their guests a good evening. They take the crate of Starscream's remains with them.
Teena (teena_chan@livejournal.com)
Teena hummed softly and waved at Starscream. Starscream, not the wrecked body that was being packed away and carted off. If any Decepticons bothered to watch her, they would have seen her speak to what would seem empty air to them.
"So, what are you going to do now? Hang around until you can get hold of a new body?"
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
Looks like it.
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
After some time, a rather puzzled Starscream drifts upward from the earth where he died.
"Hey! What do you know? I'm still functional. I feel a bit odd, but I don't have this hole in my chest ..."
Starscream looks around.
"Where is everyone?"
He notices the spot where he lay, spotting the large puddle of fuel leaking into the ground.
"That's an awful lot of fuel. I wonder what I did to Sunstorm to make him bleed so."
He kneels over and tries to scoop up some of the fluid, but his fingers pass through it. He notices the moonlight passing through his hand.
"Aww, Scrap. Not again. I hate being dead."
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
Razorclaw slipped out from where he'd been hiding, and waved hello. "Hi, Grampa..." He fidgeted a bit uncomfortably. "Dad's around somewhere, but... I don't know if you'd want to try to possess Waspinator anymore, because of what's happened to him lately. So... um... now what?"
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"No, I've seen what he looks like. Too much like a fleshling for my tastes."
"Did you enjoy the fight, Raze?"
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
He thinks about that for a moment. "I... I haven't seen too many fights, and... well... I don't know if it was because of the family thing or not, but, it was actually... kinda disturbing."
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Disturbing? How so?"
"Was it the combat itself that disturbed you? Or that it was your grandfather and granduncle fighting? Or that they had the intent to kill each other?"
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
"I think the middle thing.... though I can't really say I like Sunstorm much."
The Multitude (fejijar@livejournal.com)
A caravan is seen on its way past the battlesite to deliver Al's gambling payments.
Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
O.O.C. (Due to swapping icons, all of the living Starscream icons reverted to the default, which is Megatron. Hopefully people can figure out which is which.)
Siryn (waxwontbeenough@livejournal.com)
Ye know, Shockwave, ye should really come by my place for a cup of tea.

He notices the spot where he lay, spotting the large puddle of fuel leaking into the ground.
"That's an awful lot of fuel. I wonder what I did to Sunstorm to make him bleed so."
He kneels over and tries to scoop up some of the fluid, but his fingers pass through it. He notices the moonlight passing through his hand.
"Aww, Scrap. Not again. I hate being dead."
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
Razorclaw slipped out from where he'd been hiding, and waved hello. "Hi, Grampa..." He fidgeted a bit uncomfortably. "Dad's around somewhere, but... I don't know if you'd want to try to possess Waspinator anymore, because of what's happened to him lately. So... um... now what?"
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"No, I've seen what he looks like. Too much like a fleshling for my tastes."
"Did you enjoy the fight, Raze?"
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
He thinks about that for a moment. "I... I haven't seen too many fights, and... well... I don't know if it was because of the family thing or not, but, it was actually... kinda disturbing."
Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
"Disturbing? How so?"
"Was it the combat itself that disturbed you? Or that it was your grandfather and granduncle fighting? Or that they had the intent to kill each other?"
Razorclaw (xtreme_crab@livejournal.com)
"I think the middle thing.... though I can't really say I like Sunstorm much."
The Multitude (fejijar@livejournal.com)
A caravan is seen on its way past the battlesite to deliver Al's gambling payments.
Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream (deceptrio@livejournal.com)
O.O.C. (Due to swapping icons, all of the living Starscream icons reverted to the default, which is Megatron. Hopefully people can figure out which is which.)
Siryn (waxwontbeenough@livejournal.com)
Ye know, Shockwave, ye should really come by my place for a cup of tea.

Rather curious.
Good sages, I wonder.
While all and sundry know that I am a dragon, and greatly proud of it,
I wonder... How much of a dragon are you?
I admit I missed a few, like the scientific experimentation to become a dragon, but I did fairly well, I think.

((OOC: A VERY old test, so old that most Sages probably never heard of it. I'm feeling in the mood for classics at the moment. Speaking of which, going from another relatively old one: Who among you muns out there considers yourself Geekcore?
If this gets recieved badly, I'll just take it down.))

*just looks puzzled*
zhilbar (zhilbar@livejournal.com)
Not bad, Quint!
Good for you!
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*slight shrug* I think it was because of the questions about sleeping for a really long time. I.. I was in the Gallery for six years.
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*waves hi... hasn't seen Usagi since that whole trip into Ryan's world*
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
Oh, hi Quint!
I've been a bit out of it lately, with the whole Jadeite thing and all. Sorry I haven't been around much. How have you been?
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
I'm ok. T.. the tracking device is gone now. *bit of a smile at the name* You know Jadeite?
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
Yeah, he only tried to kill us all.
Oh, he says he's all better now, but how can I believe that?
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*frowns a lil, doesn't like being in the middle of this, very quietly* Y.. you don't know what it's like, Usagi, to have to obey someone whether you want to or not. I do...
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
Oh, Quint, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm all on edge lately.
But if you were me, could you forgive him easily, even knowing that he was under someone's thumb?
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
Dr. Wily still has my brothers... they could show up and try to kill me, because he would have told them to. I... I don't want to hurt them. I'd... try to help. And I wouldn't be mad at them. It's not their fault what he makes us do.
Jadeite's my brother now too... there's a lot the same about us, Usagi. I.. if you don't like him... I... you probably won't like me, when you find out more about me...
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
Quint, I like you. And I'm not going to stop. But you've never tried to kill me or hurt my friends. And he hurt them, badly. So it's hard.
If you found something good about him, that'll help, though. I'll try...
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
T.. that's only because I met you here, after I didn't have to obey... him... anymore. Guard duty, and other things... Someday maybe I'll tell you... but... If you'd come near Skull Castle back then... me and my brothers... we'd have killed you. It's just what we did, Usagi. I... I've hurt a lot of people. You weren't one of them only because we met here instead of there.
Fighting you is how he got hurt, isn't it. He.. he's somewhere safe now. I might visit him soon. But I... I don't think I should tell you where he is.
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
I understand that, really. It's not a rational thing. I see Jadite and the first thing I think of is Jupiter-chan smashed against that tree, and I can't... I can't like him yet, Quint.
Quint (pogo_boy@livejournal.com)
*nods a lil, understands that* H.. he's not a bad person, Usagi. Or... he's... not any worse than I was... *looks down* L.. like I said, there's a lot the same about us....
Usagi/Sailor Moon (tsukinochan@livejournal.com)
*feels bad for upsetting Quint* Look, I'm sure it'll get better. I just have to have time to forget about things.
