Shattered

Enough was enough.

All he had wanted was his job back. He just wanted to teach and work with students to help improve Cybertron. But no, he just HAD to be a fragging hero! Everyone loved him! Which meant no one left him ALONE.

And worst of all, he had a hard time saying no to anyone. 

As such, he was currently on a transport to Garrus 9. No more of this. He was going to find someone he could talk to without devolving into platitudes and excessive praise.

“This is Megatron of Polyhex, requesting permission to land.”

The arrival was unannounced. He wasn’t about to broadcast where he was planning on resting for a while.

“Oh dear. It’s you.”

This was embarrassing. He’d visited this universe in order to try and make contact with his groundbound alternate self. But every time he came here, he was always met with Autobot interference. Now that he’d actually made contact with the Decepticons here, he was surprised ( but also not ) to see a former Autobot among them. He’d seen this one from afar, but only now was he meeting him like this...

He would have to be as polite as possible until their gracious hosts returned. The other Cons had run out to work on an incident with Autobot-Human activity...

What a simply exhausting time.

His extended stay upon this planet was.. .difficult. Mostly because he constantly had to travel to a VERY specific place to get energon. Not that it was hard to find. But that particular place was a place that was currently a war zone. And not even HIS war!

So he would often fly in in the dead of night, shields hiding him from the larger signal sweepers, and grab what he needed before fleeing.

But things had changed. 

More non-friendly Decepticons were around...

He’s not late, thankfully. Thank goodness to his associate’s speed and power.

He’s... a math teacher. He’s drawing up a diagram on the board and asking if the class can explain what’s happening here.

And they can!

It’s astonishing how much the class actually wants to interact. And how he takes all manner of questions in stride... there isn’t a hint of aggression about him, and not once does he snap at a joke or an obvious question...

mcka:

   OF the wide variety of things hana figured she might encounter on her patrols this fine evening, a robot descending from the sky and turning into what looked like a MILITARY GRADE JET was not one.

    she connected to the open comms and only hoped that… WHATEVER this was, was on the same wavelength. she powered up her boosters and flew after, lagging behind just a bit before she leaned forward more, her joysticks going as far as they could.

    ❛        HEY !      ❜  she called out. ❛        this is an NFZ ! air exclusion zone ! a ‘ no - fly zone ‘ !       ❜ she hesitated, biting her lip before pulling out the only card she could think of.

     ❛       i’m gonna need you to pull over.      ❜

       eugh.

Oh no! This was awkward!

He was supposed to be meeting at the... what was it called? Argh, without Starscream, he was a mess...

The giant jet sheepishly parked as far from civilians as he could, and scrambled to pull together a holoform... Oh, he was so BAD at keeping these! Why did he always forget to save his last used holoforms?

This would have to do.

His holoform poked its head out of the cockpit as it raised up, sliding down the side as he settled on the ground. “Ah, I’m so sorry. I’m running late to a meeting you see...” He began to explain...

░ A MONSTER CALLS ░

“K-Kyeheheheh. Are you still alive? What a pity. You must be enjoying rolling around in your peaceful gardens, hnh?”

Long deprived of war’s bloodthirsty adrenaline, he felt his appetite rise with a vengeance, a hunger that lingered making its way towards his surface. Forever loyal to the Autobots, the monster that survived through each wave of horror, Blurr stood his ground, razor claws flexing as red gaze flared with amusement. Space piracy had lead him to many places, but he had never expected to run into Megatron of all mechs- the very reason he hungered for war.

“Don’t tell me- you’re here for a little nostalgia? Awww, did you miss the Autobots? K-Kyehehehheh.”

Ah.

He had not meant to find Blurr like this. Not while he was rather alone and lacking back up. Megatron was not in the mood or the state of mind to fight, but he knew that wouldn’t matter to blurr...

“I’m not here to fight, Blurr. It just so happened our paths crossed again.” He explained, tense and poised to back off the second this got too violent... “I see that life has been treating you... well.”

Yeah right. He looked pretty shabby, by all intents and purposes. At least by Megatron’s standards... “As for the peace, it’s not been so peaceful. You must have heard that there are things happening back on Cybertron by now...?”

“I seen to understand that- the little grey faces. Are trying to persuade me out! Ahaha! N’ they say I’m…mad-”

Megatron will flinch over that voice. By Terminus, he never wanted to meet Magnus alone. 

“…They say you’ve changed. I rather doubt it.”

“Oh- change.. change that’s a good one..We change all the time. Physically speaking of course- but enough with the charades.” He rubbed his hands together with a smile crossed his faceplate.

“I hear ya dont believe I’ve had a change of spark-”

“...i’ve yet to see any proof that you’ve changed. Especially since you still seem off kilter. Maybe even more so than before.”

He wasn’t sure this was the best idea but... A part of him wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt...

@overdorklord ( <3 )

This was his nightmare.

He loved each and every single Con that he’d ever met. But they really needed to give him some space. It was hard to even get through to the exit of the terminal like this...

“Alright, alright it’s ok everyone. I’m safe and sound, you all can go about your business...” He tried so hard to get them all to relax, to chill out and not be so... clingy.

Oh thank terminus there was Overlord. 

He waved the other down, looking distinctly... .distressed...

He was coming back. Sure, The Phase sixer wasn't sure he understood where their leader has been all this time. Somebody murmured something about another place through time and space…? He must have misunderstood clearly. But that didn't matter! Megatron was turning back and he would have talked directly to him… eventually. Yeah, since all the other Decepticons became so paranoid lately, he was told to guard the whole area. Well, he couldn't even complain too much. He was created to protect.

Who had spilled that he was going to be returning?

Well, he couldn’t be mad. He’d been gone a while, and he was sure his Cons had missed him dearly... Though... he did feel so bad for just vanishing on them like that... 

He didn’t expect the whole port to be under guard. This seemed a bit excessive.

Megatron found himself greeted by several Decepticons, all cheering and crowding around him... Much to his chagrin and astonishment...

shatterscreen replied to your post “Do you believe any bot can be capable of good?”

... Is that what it means to be good? Hypothetically, could someone like myself be good? What about Prime? Or any other Autobot/

“Once again. It takes a conscious effort to be good. And even then definitions vary depending on who you ask. But yes. I think that if you did try to be good, you could be that...”

[calcxlating-blog]

Are you sure? We can call him-

“We don’t know WHERE in the universes he is or what he’s doing. Besides, if you’re wrong, we will be, as the humans say, poking a very angry bear with a very pointy stick.”

“Are you saying you’ve been in kahoots with a wanted criminal and his posse this entire time, anon?”

[calcxlating-blog]

Go ask him

“Would that I could. But I’ve yet to see any part of him in ages. It’s for the best though. He was a bit intolerable at the best of times.”

[calcxlating-blog]

Apparently Magnus did change.

“Did he now? I’ve yet to hear of such things...”

[calcxlating-blog]

Do you believe any bot can be capable of good?

“That’s a hell of a question.”

“I think that any being that wants to give without taking selfishly, to be kind without expecting kindness... I think that they can be good. If they can manage to be good, however, is up to them and their choices. But I’d like to think, yes, anyone can be good if they genuinely want to be.”
