Summary: Skyfire travels down Unicron’s endless corridors…

Notes:

Based on a Twitter tweet thread fic which I...deleted for unknown reasons. I’ll blame the hot weather.

Skyfire ran though Unicron’s endless corridors.

Starscream had hours ago activated the quantum warp engine. He had traveled to Unicron’s time and place of origin to prevent it from forging. If he succeeded or failed Starscream would never return, but failure meant death in Unicron’s molten tanks for Cybertron and all its people.

As Skyfire ran for what felt like years fear began to chill his spark. Had Starscream failed?
Or did changing a timeline create an alternative universe while leaving the original intact? Skyfire wished these questions were theoretical and posed by him to his love over warm evening energon. He kept running.

An archway opened up in the wall in front of Skyfire and cords arose from the floor and bound him in place. The ground under his feet surged forwards along a great veined tube. The air became warmer and humid. Skyfire struggled but the increasing heat made him lethargic. He tried to vent but found himself choking on bitter fumes and the scent of decay.

Skyfire awoke from a recharge he never recalled falling into. He was standing in a great chamber and a huge pulsing spark was burning before him. Skyfire remembered where he was and told himself he was not afraid. He stood to face Unicron’s heart.

He saw in front of the spark a cocoon like structure that hung heavy and ripe. It opened to reveal a body enmeshed and entubed with Unicron’s metal.

Skyfire saw a beautiful face. It terrified him.

“I came back for you,” Starscream whispered.
