Felt cute and happy writing this! (It's pretty badly written, my apologies :(.)
As Starscream, no… Ulchtar looked up at the stars so bright in that night sky he had come to love so much in his time on earth, he could feel his energon seeping out his wounds and puddling around his limp frame on the ground underneath him, staining the earth below with his tainted fuel.
Each vent in to cool his rapidly overheating systems felt like agony to his fading processor, the feeling of his wings tore to shreds barely hanging onto his back, the sensation of the shards of his shattered cockpit cutting into his soft protoform under his armor, his broken legs barely connected to his frame due to the impact of his fall, everything was pure unbridled agony. As he lay underneath the stars he thought back to everything that came before this unfortunate end, his love, his trine, his passion. In one final half-hearted attempt to save himself, he cleared all the warning messages from his view and reached out to Skyfire’s com-link, in some half hope that maybe he hadn’t blocked him like he had every right to after everything between them. But that hope was shattered, like him, when the only response he received was a pop-up telling him he could no longer contact this link, his last hope, his love. “Maybe next time, next life, I will be able to be the one you need, and not what drags you down, my sky.”
He said with his last strength before he couldn’t do anything but stare at the sky above him, thinking that next life, if he is blessed by Primus to meet Skyfire again, he would like to fly together again. Not bound by factions or hate, but just together, no burdens chaining them both down. He thinks that next time he will surely be better, for Skyfire, for his trine, as his mind fades and his spark dims to nothing.
This does not happen, what Starscream doesn't know is that in every life, version, and dimension, they both will never land together, will never be able to fly together again, that in every life to come and that has been they are destined to only ever hurt one another, for one to die alone and the other live to on. In no universe before or after this one will they both stay, for one to live unburdened by chains, the other must die.
