Empress layed on the floor for a moment before propping herself up. She tilted her helm, one of her brows raised as she was surprised by Whirl's show of defensiveness for her. Her audios flickered once she realized that the paint spraying barrel was a sparkling, it's young voice confirming her theory. The paint covered femme switched to her beast mode, her injured wing drooping slightly.
"I'm going to get you!" The beast shouted in a playful tone while she crouched.

It would be really, really stupid if Whirl could be affected by his own spray stuff. Not even regular stupid. Horror movie teen stupid. So obviously he isn't.
As he fell, he grabbed at the rolling transformer and grabbed at him with a claw.
"You like what you get?! Huh, punk?! You like what you get?!!!" he screamed.
It might surprise people to know that Whirl didn't actually hurt the innocent or children. Then again, Scaag had hyped him up into a good old rage before he'd even known who it was, and now he was trying, with a high likelihood of success, to drag Scaag out of alt-mode so that he could give him an old-school thrashing.

It was a good thing to be covered in slippery paint. When Whirl fell, the bomb giggled again.
I won! Yay!
He said happily as Whirl attempted to grab him. But as we all know, claws are difficult to use to grab something with. He instead slipped through the claw and impacted against Whirl's chest where it actually transformed into a tiny 7ft tall sparkling. It had red-pink optics and was smiling at Whirl brightly. He wasn't really sensing danger of any kind.
I'm Scaag, who are you?
He asked happily but as Empress shouted at him, he turned his attention towards her instead. He giggled and jumped off of Whirl and skipped towards the large predacon, amazed by how it looked.
Who are you? What are you? Can you fly? You have wings so you should be able to fly. Ooh ooh, can I fly on you? I like flying!
Scaag was very excited and found the entire situation to be very fun. He had play,ates, how wonderful!

Okay, now that Whirl could see him as a person, and not a barrel - no, wait, he was still jacked off.
Everything came in and crashed down the way it sometimes did. Scaag wasn't a threat, but the frustration Whirl currently felt didn't need rationalisng. He slumped to a sitting position against the wall, and started to rock himself back and forth, trembling.
He clutched at his helm, "CUT THAT OUT!" he snarled at Scaag.

The predacon tried to stand once more as the sparkling approached. She slipped on the paint again, causing her limbs to splay in separate directions. Looking up from where she layed, she answered Scaag, not used to seeing so much energy from a bot.
"My designation is Empress- I'm a Predacon." Seeing how Whirl began to act, she managed to find her way back into a crouch. "Yes, I can fly, but I don't know if I would be able to carry you..." The femmes wings hid how thin she was, her structure was built for speed not strength. "I might be able to give you rides though."
It may not have been as fun as flying, but it was something. Looking back her droopy wing, Empress craned her neck and gripped onto it. There was a cracking noise as she relocated one of the joints. Empress began to crawl forwards, past the sparkling and towards Whirl. She sat a short distance away from him, her helm tilting to show her concern.
"I'm sure Scaag didn't mean to upset you. Do you need some time alone?"

Whirl shuddered and started to pick at the scabs on his wrists, then shook his head.
"I don't wanna be alone..." he whispered to Empress, "I know people think I do, and I know I deserve it, but I... don't want to be..."

Scaag continued to smile and happily skipped after Empress. He was excited about what she had said and wanted to try and ride on her as soon as possible. Scaag was young and as Empress predicted, he never meant to upset Whirl or Empress, it had all been a game. Something to do while also having fun, at least Scaag thought it was fun. He was simply too young to understand.
But why can you not fly with me on?
Scaag asked, a bit confused by her response. He couldn't see a reason for it.
And what is a predacon? Are there more of you?
The barrage of questions didn't seem to end as he approached the big predacon and began to climb up her rear left leg. He usually did that, climb on people. It went much faster now that he was bigger though.

"Alright, I'll stay here."
Empress replied quietly, she was about to curl up beside Whirl, but Scaag was already climbing on her. She made an awkward squeaking noise as she was unused to be climbed on, let alone being ridden.
"It's because I'm not strong enough." The beast readjusted her limbs to accommodate for the added weight. Predacons are like Cybertonians, except they turn into creatures instead of vehicles. Lots more- I hear that there's a whole planet of beasts. There are also some that live here as well, the Primal is a predacon."

Relieved that Empress wasn't going to leave him, Whirl hugged his knees - a complicated motion for somebody with legs like his. He picked at his scabs some more and peeled one of them back a bit, watching a tiny trickle of Energon running from it.
"Like I said," he muttered, "I'm a freak."
It's not clear how long this outburst will last, but it's apparrent to Empress that it isn't simply 'insanity' that affects Whirl; most likely down to the psychological consequences of the Empurata the Wrecker clearly has lost full control over his emotions.

Oooooh. Cool. Do all look like you? The other bots here don't look the same.
Scaag continued asking as he finally reached the top, or her back. It really all depended on your perspective. It was his first time riding an animal-shaped creature and it was truly amazing. Or was it? Some of his memories from before were a bit fuzzy, but he could remember an earlier carer, also a predacon. He just couldn't remember if he ever rode on her back in beast mode. Then Whirl said something and as he hadn't introduced himself, Scaag thought it was his name.
Hi Freak! Look at me, I'm high up!
He exclaimed happily as he looked around from his position on Empress' back. He was very light though, around 100kg, maybe less. And he was happy with that.

Whirl was in too low of a mood to either correct him, or not care. This wasn't all Scaag's fault. Not 100%. The skinny mech just covered his yellow optic with one long arm.
Underneath, his optic was sparking a little, like he was crying.

"You shouldn't pick..."
Empress motioned at Whirl's wrist with her helm, a slight twitch from her nose signified that she could smell the energon. What was it that humans sometimes wear? Was it a bracelet? She thought to herself, something she would have to check out. What Whirl did at times concerned her, as well as confused her- She wasn't used to feeling concern. The beast began to pace the hall in an attempt to please the sparkling.
"We all look very different. Some have similar traits if they are related." She cringed when Scaag called Whirl a freak. "Thats, uh, not his name... He goes by Whirl."
Seeing Whirls reaction to the accidental insult, she crawled up towards him. She began to move his arm with her muzzle- something she doesn't normally do. Sometimes she wasn't able to form the correct wording, so she would use her actions to try and comfort him.

He smiled as he rode on her back, rocking from side to side. It was a pleasant ride and he liked it.
Oh. Related. Do you have a family? I had a family.
Scaag then went silent. It was true, he had a family, but they were gone. And they had been gone for a long time. In truth, he had just been searching for them when he stumbled upon Empress and Whirl.
But why didn't he say so? Weird..
Scaag then replied to her remark about Whirl's name. It wasn't easy for the equivalent of a 6-8 year old to understand all this. He just sat and watched, sometimes beeping a little.

Whirl snuffled a little, "Just some... static electricity in my optic," he muttered, lowering his arm slowly as Empress nudged at it. When she got closer to Whirl's wrist, Empress could actually see several cuts and scars. There were two obvious ones, fairly neat, where his claws had been replaced several times.
However, there were other scars as well, many looking like they had been picked at so often that they had never healed cleanly - a long list of light scars all the way down his left forearm, and on his right wrist there was a particularly ugly and deep gash that looked almost as if somebody had once tried to saw his hand right off.
"What're you lookin' at..." he snuffled at her, seeing her looking.

"Family? She paused, "I don't know..."
Family was a touchy subject for Empress, she had no memory of her past or childhood, let alone her relatives. Smokejaw claimed to be her parent, but she didn't believe him. She shimmied the sparkling off her back, using her wings to help the process along. Empress needed to switch back to her bipedal form to allow more movement and speech. Seeing Whirl's scars she frowned and pulled a rag from her subspace, something she often kept with her since she was a medic. She pressed the rag on where he had picked at, then tied it around his wrist.
"Static?" She raised a brow and left it at that. "Well I appear to be looking at you." Empress replied to his question while she sat down beside him. She outstretched the wing farthest from Whirl, inviting Scaag to come and sit if he wanted to. Looking at the paint stained hallway and herself she vented.

Why don't you know? I know about my family. First i had one, then mommy disappeared, then i got a new one but mommy disappeared again. And my brother. And my sister who is a glitch. She tried to kill me.. I don't like her.
Scaag stated as he was pushed off of Empress because she transformed. He didn't pay much attention to what the adults did. But he did know that she did medicy stuff, since both his previous carers were medics. When her wing was stretched out, Sccag took the opportunity to sneak in and curl up beside her. It was nice with some company. He closed his optics and rested a little.
---
Sky stepped through the hallways and frowned a little at all the mess. He knew exactly who had been here, it usually looked like this everywhere Scaag went, the sparkling liked to paint, that was for sure. No matter that though, Scaag wasn't his objective. Skyspray kept walking until he saw the shape of Whirl and Empress sitting next to each other. He smiled a little as he approached.
I hope i don't interrupt but Whirl, I know we haven't been the best of friends lately so I intend to change that. You and I are going to find a mech and hopefully talk to him. And from what I've heard, this mech is quite insane, which is why I want you to accompany me. You know how to deal with those. And yes, you will get to shoot him if he resists. We're leaving now.

Whirl looked up at Skyspray and crossed his arms; it looked stand-offish but it covered his scratches. He blinked slowly at the Magnus, his shaky mood calming slightly.
"Can I shoot him anyway?" he asked, sounding hopeful as he stood up slowly.

"If I knew I would tell you why." She looked at the sparkling with a worried glance as he talked about his odd family.
Empress froze as Scaag curled up beside her, she wasn't used to being around smaller bots and didn't want to upset him by moving too much. Seeing Skyspray approach, she nodded in greeting, a 'what do I do?' expression on her face plate as she motion with her free arm at the now resting sparkling.

Maybe, maybe not. If he hasn't made a hostile move, no. If he does, yes. Remember, we are trying to convince him to join us, not kill him. But if killing is the only alternative, then so be it.
Sky replied to the cyclops as he stood up. Whirl really was a great puck for desling with this guy, at least from what he had heard about the other guy. He shrugged a little before opening a groundbridge next to them. Before he entered, he looked at the femme and chuckled.
Don't worry about Scaag. You will know what to do with him.
And with that he entered the bridge, probably with Whirl after him. It was time to get even.
---
Scaag has felt the vibrations in the ground that the Magnus created, but he didn't mind. He was just curled up next to Empress and he was satisfied with that. He didn't notice that she froze, why would he? He just nuzzled her a little.
