White hot agony shot through him, shorting out his optics and vocalizer. A scream tried to tear its way free, but it couldn't, leaving him to scream silently, tears coursing down his cheeks. Sharp claws dug into his wings, dragging down until long thick wounds covered the expanse of his wings, each one pour energon, weakening his already tired body. He could hear the laughter from his torturer echoing around the room, but it was distant.
His mind was slowing, and he could feel heaviness settling down on him. It couldn't be his torturer, he never took it that far, meaning that it was his body giving into his protocols. His energon loss was great, the blue fluid pooling around his body. He could smell and feel the energon around his helm, and he didn't try to move as his helm was turned so his face was pressed into the energon.
As he allowed his body to shut down, he could feel those sharp claws around his hips, digging and then…something else entirely. Something that had never happened, no matter how long this had been going on. He struggled to stay online, but he was too far gone, the loss of energon was making him lightheaded. His last thought before e shut down was 'How could he?'
XOXOXO
Soft beeping was the first thing he heard as he came back online. A few minutes of straining and he could hear a voice talking. Another few minutes and the voice was clear enough to hear them talking softly. From the sound of their voice, Starscream decided that it was Knockout and the gruff voice that answered him must be Breakdown. Meaning he was in the Med bay.
Why was he there again? His brows came together as he tried to figure it out. They hadn't fought the Autobots that much he was for certain of. But what?
The memories came rushing back, an argument, and a comment about his trine. He lunged at Megatron, his claws digging into the war lord's neck as he tried to strangle him. It had caught Megatron of guard just long enough for the seeker to do some damage, but he was quick to recover. Large servos had grabbed the seekers helm, denting it slightly, before he was thrown to the ground. That was normal. The agony of Megatron beating him was normal. The white hot searing pain in his abdomen was not. At that point in the beating though, Starscream was too damage to do anything but take what was being dealt.
With the flood of memories came the flood of pain. He could hear the beeping grow faster and louder, and could hear the loud curses of Knockout. It sounded like he was…cursing Megatron? He knew better than to do that…A sting alerted him to the tight hold someone had on his arm, but before he could fight back, he was slipping back into recharge.
XOXOXO
As Knockout finished injecting the sedative into Starscreams body, he sighed. "I can't believe he took it this far. I knew that dark energon was bad, but this bad? Bad enough that he would…" A shudder ran through his frame at the thought. A heavy servo was placed on his shoulder, causing him to look up into Breakdowns optics. The large mech didn't say anything, but he didn't need to, his optics said it all.
They needed to get Starscream away from Megatron, and somewhere safe.
XOXOXO
