EVERYBODY RUN

[aerospacecommander]

WHO: DW!Starscream and OPEN
WHERE: All around outside, going from place to place.
WHEN Right after the event starts and he manages to make it out of Megatronus' temple.
WHAT: Giant Starscream.
WARNINGS: ... Giant Starscream?


Starscream expected a lot of things. Jetfire blankly staring at him over something he said. Someone hanging up on him over something else he said. People not trusting him over who he was. People finding him incredibly handsome.

The usual sorts of things.

He did not expect to come out of recharge and find himself to be twice as big as usual. At first he considered that the room shrunk but that was just a silly idea. And he considered calling (Jetfire) for help, but after a strange and rather awkward struggle he managed to make it out of his room.

And then out of the temple.

He didn't know how, or why, but his first actual thought was:

I could crush Megatron at this size.

Sometimes he did have a one track mind even if his own Megatron was dead (as far as he knew). Still, while he was confused, he was actually almost happy. Those (Jetfire) who used their size against him before, couldn't anymore and he was totally going to take advantage of it.

So anyone who happened to be outside at the time of his wandering would not only clearly notice a giant Starscream, but one who was laughing maniacally to the sky.

Because now, size was everything.

Guess who still hasn't learned to control his teleportation.

Guess who's getting an impromptu (and VERY VERY RANDOM) "tour" of Haven while he tries to learn.

He'll teleport to a spot on the street not far from Starscream.

He pauses . . . and looks up . . . and up . . . and up.

"Starscream!?"

[aerospacecommander]

Wait, what was that sound? Starscream shifted his gaze downward and smirked at the little Thundercracker.

Well, little to him.

"Still haven't quite got the hang of that have you? But enough about you. What do you think?"

He stepped back and gestured at himself in a 'look how sexy I've become' way.

[notyourblueangel]

He kicked in his thrusters, raising himself up to something close to optic level to the oversized mech. Hovering, he folded his arms and regarded his trine leader fellow Seeker with a smirk. "Heh . . . I'd say your physical height is finally closer to the size of your ego."

[aerospacecommander]

"No, nothing is as big as my ego."

But at least he admits it.

"I have to say, this is a first for me. But it also makes me really wonder about this place. First Forged. Primus. Bah. Aside from the strange things happening, do you believe any of what the other big guys are telling us?"

[notyourblueangel]

The smirk widens for a moment. "You're right. That's why I said 'closer'."

The rest makes him scowl, gaze sliding away to the nearest temple. "Frankly, I don't know what to think. Except one thing." He blew a harsh cycle of air through his vents. "Primus doesn't exist."

[angleofscience]

That they were going to explore at least one of the structures visible on Skyfire's map - if their existence bore out in reality - was now clear. The only thing left... was to go find Starscream before the fact and ask why he was so firm on coming with.

Not that he minded or anything, but he'd have thought Starscream would, at most or at least at first, have been a lot more needling and coy about not wanting to come.

Something else was odd as well; Starscream's new penchant for rather close-up video. He usually chose a wider (more dramatic) angle, so why...

Laughing?

Jetfire glanced upwards towards the starry sky as he first heard the laughter and wondered what Starscream had stumbled upon now for that sound to be coming out of him--

And then he just braked right there, jerking himself to a stop and transforming to make sure he wasn't just seeing things.

That was...

Starscream?

Staring at the... ahem, larger than life Starscream, slowly gathering his expression into a more gathered one, Jetfire wasn't sure what to think. He must be at least... Vector Prime's height? And laughing like a glitched-out processor, but it wasn't too hard to figure why Starscream might be laughing, considering his size.

"... Are you sure you should unquestionably enjoy whatever happened to make you this tall?" Jetfire flew closer before he spoke, and then landed, still utterly bewildered over the fact that he basically didn't even reach Starscream's waist when standing on the ground.

What was going on?

[aerospacecommander]

He smirked almost instantly at the sound of the voice. Oh this was going to be fun. With one giant hand he reached out to pat Jetfire lightly on the head.

Sort of lightly anyway, he still wasn't quite used to his knew size and strength. But he hopefully wouldn't break anything or anyone.

"And why not? Who can oppose me now? That's right! NO ONE!"

He exclaimed rather proudly and then moved to pick up Jetfire, just because he could do that. And it was time the normally larger jet knew what that felt like.

[angleofscience]

Grimacing as that hand descended, it did at least not do any damage; there was more pressure than Starscream probably intended but indeed nothing broke.

"I'm rather sure the Firstforged could if you did something to alert their atten--- Starscream..!" He backed up and away from that hand, but he hadn't expected something like that to happen.

Obviously, though, he should have.

"Even if I can't, would you be willing to listen and put me down?" Drumming his fingers on the closest finger, Jetfire managed to merely sound faintly long-suffering, the rest of his expression collected as he looked up at Starscream... Though, "thanks to" the Seeker, at less of a distance compared to when he'd been standing on the ground.

[aerospacecommander]

"No."

And that was all that Starscream said as he pulled Jetfire closer to his body and kind of tucked him under one arm. This was sweet, sweet revenge for the night at the party.

And he was going to take full advantage of it.

So yes, he was going to carry Jetfire around like a doll. Too bad for Jetfire.

"As long as I don't break anything, I'm sure the firstforged won't even notice."

Or at least hopefully they wouldn't notice. Because this was far too much fun.

[angleofscience]

Revenge for something you brough onto yourself, Starscream!

Since he wasn't currently inclined to fight free; there was no reason for it, and while Starscream was being annoying, he wasn't hurting him. Rubbing a hand over his faceplates, Jetfire allowed a single static sigh to express what he felt.

"Probably not, as they've been very hand's off so far, and even the... er, goings on at the moment haven't appeared to attract any attention as of yet..." He didn't really appreciate the way his legs hung free in the air as it were at the moment, but anything else would require a different position or kicking the Seeker carrying him.

"Starscream, honestly. For how long are you going to do this?" It was hard not to squirm, but in the end he managed to keep it to just twisting in the hold, attempting to get a better angle to look up at Starscream.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

You? You look like a Menace 2 Society, giant snarkjet. And whatever's happening to Whirl is happening more: a tiny cape, capelet, really, flutters from his shoulders as he hovers in the air in front of you.

"CEASE, MISCREANT, IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE."

WAT.

"Or I'll shoot your fraggin' face off." There, that's better.

[aerospacecommander]

Oh, it was Shockwave's long lost brother or something. He almost liked this guy in a strange and twisted way.

"At least I have a face."

There, that was one insult down which was to be expected.

"Besides, when did you turn into a super hero? And the rules say you can only come after me when I do something wrong. Not before. Now shoo."

And that was when he batted at Whirl much like trying to knock a gnat away. In the same fashion it probably wouldn't work.

[whirlybird_of_prey]

"Your humor is criminally lame." Hey. He just met you, and he is crazy, but he's compiling quite a rap sheet on you, Starscream...baby?

"Eh. I'm sure if I wait around you'll do something."

Sorry, Starscream, but Whirl evades your Fee Fi Fo Fum swipe like the adorable little caped fairy that he is.

[aerospacecommander]

Whirl was like that one annoying gnat that no matter what you did you couldn't get rid of.

Which is why Starscream would keep swiping at him. Annoying justice fairy.

"You're right. I might crush you. Now go away."

He doesn't need his own personal flying do-gooder falling him around!

[whirlybird_of_prey]

Annoying high caliber gnat, Starscream.

You cannot defeat the Justice Fairy.

"You might. In an alternate universe. With a lot of luck."

[has_guts]

Ginrai, who had been driving his Transector, slammed on the brakes and swerved, narrowly stopping without running into the giant's foot.

"What the hell?!"

[aerospacecommander]

Starscream shifted in his stance, still not quite used to his knew height and everything. He almost didn't notice Ginrai on the ground. But it was a good thing he finally did look down because otherwise he would have almost stepped on him instead of over him.

"I know. Amazing isn't it?"

[has_guts]

Ginrai kept looking up at the giant Starscream. (Well, more giant than the Transformers usually were, anyway).

"Hai. How did this happen?"

[aerospacecommander]

"I assume my level of awesome just caught up with the rest of me and decided to level things out a bit. ... Or, something strange is going on because I have nooo idea."

He leaned down to bring himself slightly closer to Ginrai.

"Have you seen anything else weird going on?"

[has_guts]

Ginrai was aware of the scale of most Transformers, but this was strange even for that.

He thought. "Seen some drawings that came to life. And a bunch of little robots that were attacking this little red Autobot."

[raceme]

Blurr was just..chilling around, now that he decided that he was done working. He looked up when he saw Starscream and then grinned.

"Are you trying to compensate something?

[aerospacecommander]

Starscream stared down. Pointy-head had certainly gotten more annoying over the past few days.

"Can I just step on you and get it over with? I could just flatten you out into metal throw rug."

Yeah, he went there.

[raceme]

Damn right he did. And he looks still unimpressed.

"I doubt you can see your feet properly now, much less know where you step blocky."

Oh, that was low.

[aerospacecommander]

"I can see you well enough to shoot. I can't say I've probably tested my increased power of my null ray though. It might leave a nasty mark on someone so small."

And he'd shoot the entire ground if he had to, though Blurr was extremely fast.

Still.

He'd try.

That icon is so cuteeeee

[raceme]

"You are FAT and slow, even if you shot at me I would still get away."

Blurr would run all up his leg and body until he can sit on top of Starscream's big head.
