[Open Log - One last time]
Who: Open
What: Megatron has calmed down enough to say a few last words.
Where: Megatronus Prime's Arena
When: Today
Notes: This follows Megatron's rampage around the Haven. After being subdued, he asks that he be allowed to die fighting Optimus Prime. He's unstable, but he will talk to any who approach. You may also act as one of his bodyguards if you think your character would be so inclined.
It shouldn't have ended this way.
One of the few pieces of his mind that was still intact could not let go of that idea, thinking on all the Megatrons he had met, and their wars, and how far they'd gone and how it never stopped because they were too stubborn to die.
He'd been too stubborn to die, himself, once or twice.
The transtechs had seen to the rest.
Now, he was here, choosing death.
He found it preferable to the thought of losing himself completely, gone long past where anything he'd stood for might still reside. He owed that much to Soundwave--for breaking his mind and mending it all at once, letting him remember who he was even as he lost control of himself. Now, he was only holding on by threads.
If he could fight, then he was still real. If he could fight Optimus...
...well, then, something was still right in the multiverse.
There was no better way to go.
Still, he paced restlessly at the edge of the Arena, uncertain how long he could hold himself together or how long the Firstforged that owned this place would permit him to remain. There was only one way this could end.
He just wished he could look forward to that ending, once and for all.

no subject
At this point, that wasn't the half of it, and the complicated knot of emotions surrounding Megatron wasn't something Optimus was interested in attempting to untangle. It would do no good right here and now.
Optimus shudders with the force as his own hit connects - and jerks with a low grunt as he is hit in turn, entire right leg spasming with the blow to his hip and deep transformation seam. It would have been enough to send him tumbling down, out of balance, if he had not anticipated something of the sort and latched on to Megatron himself, grabbing for his cocked arm to turn it from punching to grappling.
"I'd say I was looking forward to it-" he ground out, struggling to catch the heavier mech in a hold that would not grant his nemesis weight advantage over him.
"-Except I still have no idea how that fate would end."
No matter this Megatron's dreams and hopes not to echo what Optimus knew of the future, it seemed they always ended up at each other's throats.
Even against their will, as it was now.
