(The Dead Universe.)

Ulchtar woke up a few hours later and was relieved to find Starscream not very for from where he was and wasted no time rousing the other seeker and they were both relieved that the other was fine.

"Where are we?" Asked Starscream.

"I think we somehow ended up in the dead universe." Ulchtar replied seeing that it looked similar to the version of it he had once visited in his own universe.

"This is one of the things the message on the datapad might have been talking about so we need to look around to figure out if something important is here." Starscream suggested.

"Your right and then we have to figure out how to get back to the others." Ulchtar agreed.

Then the two seekers started exploring the area.

_                                                                       

Meanwhile the others were frantically trying to find Starscream and Ulchtar's signals or figure out where the container with Unicron's spark ended up.

"I'm sorry guys because of me we don't know where Unicron's spark is I should've found another way that didn't involve yeeting it to a random part of the multiverse and if I had fought harder we might not have lost Starscream and Ulchtar." Knock Out apologized feeling responsible.

"It is not your fault Knock Out you did the right thing your actions kept Galvatron and Nemesis Prime from getting it and taking it to Unicron." Optimus Prime reassured the red medic understanding and commending Knock Out his decision had actually reminded Optimus Prime of when he had scent the Allspark into space to keep it safe at the beginning of the war for Cybertron.

"The important thing is that we find it and Starscream and Ulchtar before Galvatron and Nemesis Prime do." Said Smokescreen.

Knock Out had gone over to comfort Ghost Rose who he could tell was worried about Starscream.

Ratchet had been looking at the scanners while Soundwave was running repairs on the ship fortunately it could still fly and Soundwave just had to patch up the hole on the side of it.

Suddenly Ratchet called everyone to the monitor.

"I found their spark signals a whole cluster of them there more then two here." Ratchet said feeling confused by how many spark signals there were.

"The scanner must have been damaged during the battle." Bumblebee suggested.

"I think this might be the dead universe." Prowl spoke up "Because it seems almost devoid of life except for the Starscream spark cluster malfunction."

"We need to check it out if there a chance Starscream and Ulchtar could be there we must find them and Unicron's spark no matter the cost." Optimus Prime told them then they set off into the dead universe.

_                                                                        

Meanwhile Starscream and Ulchtar were looking around when they both heard jet engines and stopped to see where it was coming from and were surprised to see a seeker trine heading their way.

And even more surprised when the three new seekers transformed and turned out to each be a version of them.

"Welcome to the dead universe fellow Starscream's." G1 Starscream greated them as Unicron trilogy Starscream and IDW Starscream landed beside him.

"Hey what do you all think your doing this is our turf!" Hissed Animated Starscream who landed with Cyberverse Starscream, Bayverce Starscream, TFOne Starscream and Skybound Starscream.

"What's going on here?" Cyberworld Starscream cut in followed by several more versions of Starscream.

"By the Allspark every version of us in the multiverse must be here." Ulchtar told TFP Starscream

"You two are welcome to stay here as the leader I welcome you to our rank." TFOne Starscream told them.

"No I'm the leader!" Cyberverse Starscream hissed.

"You tell them that me right guys?" Animated Starscream chime in only to have several other Starscreams points their weapons at him because they all wanted to be the leader.

And the next thing TFP Starscream and Ulchtar know all the other Starscreams were brawling with each other fighting over which one of them was in charge except two of them who were standing off to the side watching the other try to rip each other apart much to Ulchtar and TFP Starscream's cringing both wondering if that was how they used to act and feeling an odd mix of shame and humiliation.

Just then Megatron should up looking for Starscream and Ulchtar having track their location and walked over spotting them but the other Starscream all spotted him and all stopped cold giving him death glares.

"MEGATRON!" They all growled at once as they zeroed in on the warlord.

Seeing what was happening TFP Starscream and Ulchtar both yelled "RUN!"

And Megatron obeyed seeing all the angry Starscream coming after him.

And TFP Starscream and Ulchtar both started running away with Megatron with all the other Starscream chasing them.

After a few minutes they managed to lose them and found the others.

"Next time send Knock Out or Ghost Rose to get us don't send them a common enemy." TFP Starscream told them.

"What happened?" Asked Ghost Rose.

"A whole lot of Starscream and a whole lot of trouble." Megatron said before the three of them explained.

The other were all glad to have their Starscream and Ulchtar back but unfortunately the ship had taken more damage then they thought and they would have to stay in the dead universe for awhile to repair it.

Just then they heard a jet engine then pedsteps approaching and were all were all about to panic when they saw one of the other Starscreams coming one had found them.

"It's okay I'm not gonna attack anyone Megatron included." He assured them then Earthspark Starscream walked over to them.

"Hey we saw you and one other Starscream didn't join the brawl or chase why?" Asked TFP Starscream.

"Because I'm done with fighting and that other Starscreams is form a mirror universe where the Autobots are evil and the Decepticons are good (Shattered Glass Starscream.) he's best friends with his Megatron." Earthspark Starscream explained.

"Wow that universe sounds interesting." Knock Out quipped.

"But you're not for a mirror universe I'm guessing and I know you're Megatron must have abused you at some point so why didn't you go after him with the other Starscreams or is it just because you're done fighting like you said." Prowl asked.

"My universe was destroyed by Unicron and I never got a chance to make up with my Megatron." Earthspark Starscream said letting his wings drop before explaining to them what happened to his universe.

(Flashback.)

Starscream could hear blasts and explosions from outside as well as people screaming as he kept slamming himself against the door of his cell his spark telling him something was wrong.

Suddenly a surge form a power malfunction caused a blackout and somehow caused his cell to open and Starscream didn't waste a second running out the door.

"Come back you coward! Don't leave me here!" Mandroid scream after the seeker who ignored him only for the G.H.O.S.T. prison building to be blown up by one of Unicron's blasts.

Starscream didn't care about Mandroid he had been nothing but trouble for everyone and the seekers last experience with him was when he had taken over his body against his will so Starscream didn't like him.

But the seeker had more pressing matters anyway, Starscream flew straight to the Molto's house wanting to help them against Unicron but the chaos bringer was already firing his blast at them.

Starscream noticed Unicron getting ready to fire a blast at Hashtag and without thinking Starscream fly over and wrapped his own body around her trying to use himself as a shield.

"I'll protect you!" He screamed as they were both hit by the blast and everything when white.

_                                                                        

Starscream opened his eyes what must have been hours later and realized he was floating in the air then looked down and wished he hadn't because he spotted his own corpse that was cradling Hashtag's and he could see just chunks of rocks that he quickly realized was the broken pieces of his universe's Earth and he noticed all the other planets were in the same state and he was the only one there.

Starscream just started screaming at the empty void just throwing a tantrum.

"No! They didn't deserve this it should've just been me!" The seeker sobbed.

Then the other Starscreams should up and fixed his body for him and welcomed him to their ranks, after explaining to him about his indestructible spark.

They explained that because of the mutant spark all Starscreams have their the only ones who can survive Unicron and the Starscreams who had died in their universes had decided to form something of a brotherhood knowing they might be the only one's left eventually and even started using their own multiversal space bridge to recruit version who hadn't died in their universe yet and the Dead Universe had been the perfect hideout for them.

But Earthspark Starscream didn't see his mutant spark as a gift he thought of it as a curse being the soul survivor of his universe he had been scarred by watching everyone around him everyone he knew die while he survived completely alone.

(Flashback ends.)

"So that's my story." Earthspark Starscream finished explaining to them letting his wings fall.

They all felt bad for him after hearing what happened to his universe.

Knock Out and Ulchtar both understood exactly what he was feeling Ulchtar had also watch his own universe die, and Knock Out still had nightmares about the destruction of his Velocitron.

Then Earthspark Starscream agreed to help them until they could get out of the Dead Universe.

_                                                                      

Meanwhile in a ship that was hiding in another part of the Dead Universe two bots had been spying on the Starscreams who had given up on the Megatron chase for now and all decided to head back to where they were staying with Shattered Glass Starscream having caught up to them.

"Scrap we missed our opportunity to get one of them alone." Hissed Pharma.

"Patience Pharma we'll get our chance." Jhiaxus replied.

"So their spark are really indestructible?" Asked Pharma.

"Yes and I intend to find out why." Jhiaxus explained. "Then I can find a way to modify our own sparks to grant us immortality."

"So we just need to capture one of them as a test subject." Pharma chimed. "And there's no shortage of Starscream here."

"The trick is getting one of them alone to grab they tend to hang out in groups or threes." Jhiaxus pointed out. "It the seeker in them seekers like to form trines."

"So how do we get one?" Pharma asked.

"Their all versions of Starscream sooner or later they'll disagree on something and one will storm off alone we just have to wait for that to happen and not miss our opportunity like we did earlier today." Jhiaxus answered.

Then the two smiled and laughed evily.
