Starscream would have a few words (accentuated with some null rays) over having the grief he felt from witnessing one of his loyal soldiers falling in battle as merely 'distracting'. And yes, it is distracting. But in other ways it also gives Starscream focus. Fleetwind sacrificed himself so that Starscream could help the good Autobots defeat his own Rodimus. As he falls down, Starscream murmurs a few words in old Cybertronian for his fallen ally.
Your death will not have been in vain, Fleetwind. Starscream transforms back into an F-15 as he races towards the Demon Prime.
In a course that would send him ploughing straight into Skyblast.
Yes, it would hurt him too. Starscream doesn't care.
Starscream is beginning to leave, but not out of thread yet.

Skyvblast marvels over Fleetwind's death, a death that he has longed to see ever since he first set optic upon the Seeker, to see that pastel polygon lit up with the brightest of fires, an aerial pyre to the duende that drives Skyblast.
He is, in fact, so busy admiring the glow of falling embers, that he doesn't notice that the Aerial Ace of Aces, Starscream, is headed on a collision course for him.
*WHAM*
Skyblast is knocked clean out of the sky, in several pieces.

As Starscream continues his flight, off to face the demon Prime, the burning Decepticon continues his plummet, a trail of light left behind as he tumbles like a rag-doll caught fire towards the jungle below.

Fleetwind allows himself a grim smile as the alternate Starscream takes out his alternate's killer. He's had quite enough of 'friendly fire' from these two. Then, deciding that the safest place to be is somewhere not here, and somewhere not in the direction that Starscream just flew, he transforms and takes off, gaining altitude and looking to place himself near enough to events that he can join them if ordered by someone he fears, but far enough away to be relatively safe.

Killkillkillkillkillkillkill-
It's all a matter of timing.
Skyblast's falling isn't going to accelerate.
Given their height, Slingshot has a small amount of time he can chase Starscream in before he needs to return to catch Skyblast.
Starscream is faster than him. It won't take long for Slingshot to make his attack run.
It's all a matter of timing.
And brutal slaughter of his enemies.
Slingshot dives on Starscream, and the familiar sound of his mortar cannons fills the air.
Kill.

The departing Starscream's anger is so intense that he is only barely aware of the pain when he collides with Skyblast.
His speed makes it difficult for mortar blasts to connect, though a couple do superficial damage. It doesn't help hurt things that the battle is now much less complex, with one foe falling to the ground in pieces and another flying away, leaving Starscream with nothing to focus on but avoiding the blasts.
Well, that and his rage. He's coming for you, Rodimus.

Supersonic vortices trail from Skyfire's wingtips as he stoops from the heavens, aiming for the spot where Fleetwind-3 went down. Shockwaves follow, cracking in a thunderous 'BOOM' as they hit the ground.
A thin trail of smoke filters through the lush forest canopy; Skyfire circles widely, losing speed as he descends. Now he can see the short trail of ruin that leads to his goal...
--- Skyfire is just passing through on his way to the next thread, 'The Yellow Badge of Courage', and is out of this one. Feel free to join him if interested.

It takes Skyfire-3 a bit longer to reach his goal; though he started out not so far away, he started out later, and he's been going lower and, not wanting to melt his wings from friction heat in the lower atmosphere, not quite as hypersonic as his counterpart.
His own trailing vortices are just as big and turbulent as Skyfire's as he passes, and the thundercrack of his sonic boom might make someone wonder if Thundercracker has joined the battle over here....
--- Also just passing through. To the same place. Chase over to "Yellow Badge of Courage" if passing Skyfires gets your hunter/killer instincts going...

Skyblast is not dead. He is in a world of pain. He is in several pieces.
But he's not dead.
He decides to make that fact perfectly clear, radioing Slingshot with, //I love you.//
Slag, impact HURTs.
Still not dead, though.

//!!!//
Slingshot turns as soon as Starscream accelerates. The white Harrier zooms back to his lover, half-tumbling out of the sky as he transforms too soon. He lands next to the most important piece of Skyblast. Pitiful sounds spill from his mouth as he reaches for the blackened silver jet, not quite daring to touch.
He stands abruptly and darts away, picking up the other important pieces and bringing them over to Skyblast.
//...! Don't die!//

//I >krk< no in>zrr<ion of dy>zkt<,// Skyblast promises Slingshot, his beautiful, beautiful Harrier.
He's in a great deal of pain and likely slightly delirious, as his fevered CPU starts to put together analogies that compare Slingshot to a cruel angel.
His major pieces should be pretty easy to find.

Skyblast's major pieces are all easy to find. Slingshot brings them back to his lover, then curls himself around the most important part of Skyblast.

If he wasn't in pieces and unimaginable amount of pain, having just killed the pastel mockery and having Slingshot curled around him would be high on Skyblast's To-Do list.
Slingshot is so very terribly beautiful, though. All hard, closed lines that don't hint at what's inside, that leave him a mystery. So very functional, purposeful. Every angle screams intent.
Intent to murder.
Skyblast mumbles with a cracked, fading voice, "You're ll... ll... love-ly."

Slingshot lifts his head to stare into Skyblast's face. Then he leans in and very gently kisses the small jet.
"Need First Aid."
