Whirl gave Dia a withering look, but headed for the stasis pod anyway.
"Until you know what it's like to be a stupid glitch, why don't you wah-wah-wah," he mimed with his claw as a puppet, putting on a bad Dia impression, "Because I'm the only person who ever lost a loved one or suffered during this frikkin' war, as everybody can tell by my glaring lack of of sympathy for all other people who obviously can't possibly have problems as bad or worse than mine, so the only solution is to go all emo-glitch on them wah-wah-wah. Oh, and shoot at the Autobot who's carrying my precious, precious baby wah-wah-wah."
The skinny mech pulled open the stasis pod.
"Yes indeedly, I'm the only one who ever suffered," he mimed again, looking down at the Autobot inside, "EVAH! WAH!" he bent down to look at Thunder.
The Autobot didn't look too bad. A little bruised, but mostly what he needed was Energon. Whirl didn't have any. He picked up the guy and put him over a shoulder, walking back to the group calmly.

Thunder came on little bits at a time. First his optics barely opened up, lighting a dim blue but remaining still. Trying to recollect where he was.
What happened...? Wait...Unicron! I think I'm on Cybertron...but it looks dead. Am I too late? Wait, someone's carrying me. Tall, blue. Could be Axel--wait, this guy's got chicken legs and is too anorexic to be Axel. I-I need to know...what happened.
"U-Unicron..." He spoke weakly, but audibly, "What happened...to Unicron?"

"Unicron?" Whirl shrugged and turned a single yellow optic to look at the guy, "What you talkin' about Unicron? Guy's just a legend. You musta been havin' some kinda dream while you was knocked out dere. I just hauled ya outta stasis pod! Name's 'Whirl'. It rhymes with 'Awesome'. Ya look like ya could use a refuel."

"What do you me--" Thunder stopped.
Alternate universe. Not taking a chance.
"This isn't personal." He spoke with a much more serious and awake tone.
Two clicks. His limbs were thin enough, so the barrels of his underarm autocannons extended. Three explosive rounds went through one of his knees, either blowing his leg open or destroying his knee. He'd follow it up by quite the powerful elbow to the side of the helm three times. Enough to make him let go.

::Copy that sir.:: She could tell by Vatimus Prime 's voice he was not exactly in the beat mood. That's what you get for following someone else direction rather than waiting for orders. She started heading that way when she saw the group, Dashside, Diamond, Influx, and the sparkling. She was happy to see he was asleep. Sleeping sparkling cause no trouble, after all. When she heard Influx's remark about not being able to transform while holding the sleeping child, she decided to chime in."If you like I can carry that..." she was about to say something else before realizing her company, "that...little guy...for you if you would like."In her mind she would be doing Influx a favor, and hopefully make up for that little debacle that happened earlier."I have enough room in my alt mode that you can set him in there, and I would hate to have to make you walk the whole way back."If he and the others agreed she would have been happy to transform right then and open her doors, revealing a seat just big enough for little Aquahaze to lie down in.

Whirl was brought to the ground with a crash and a painful yell that was loud enough for every one of the Autobots to hear. "AGH! What the frag?! You shot out one of my favorite two knees!" he shouted at Thunder, "Ass-bandit! What was dat for?!"Not being able to stand hadn't stopped him from killing people before, and Whirl was staggering to his feet, still shouting, "See, dis is why I don't like people!"

It wasn't fair to the bot. The moment he stood up, a roundhouse kick to the side of the helm, only boosted by the thrusters built into the back of his leg. Nasty hit, might knock out a normal bot. He backed up, tapping his Autobrand to turn off the distress signal.
"Stay down and don't follow me."

Dashside stood near Influx as Diamond returned and Scatterbeam approached. "Yup, that's what they call me." The femme spoke with a smile, stepping away from Influx by a few paces as Diamond and Scatterbeam got closer. She offered Diamond a nod in response to the one she had given her, and prepared to continue on her path to Vatimus until she heard gunfire followed by screaming. From the crashed pod, nonetheless. The yell belonged to Whirl, and Dashside figured that if something had taken him down, she would have an issue on her hands - a possible challenge. And Dashside? She loved challenges. Flinging herself into a sprint with the aid of her thrusterpack, rapidly closing the gap between her and the point where the pod had landed. The sight of Whirl on the floor and some bot with an Autobot insignia but a face she had never seen before stood over him quickly came to her optics, and her battlemask shunted over her face - concealing a small smirk. Drawing her sword she leapt into the air, flipping over Thunder, then slashing at him. Of course, this level of fancy theatrics wasn't without a purpose. No, the reason she had been so flamboyant was to distract Thunder. Dashside had never seen him before, she was wagering that the sentiment went both ways, a factor which her plan hinged heavily on. Standing behind Thunder after flipping over him, Dashside prepared to make a follow-up attack, or at least, made it seem that way. When in actuality the next part of her plan was to let her floating pairblade, which was now in Aegis form, to disconnect from her in mid-air, and strike Thunder from the other side of where she was now standing. If this attack struck, it certainly had enough force to knock him to the ground, especially if it caught him unaware like she was hoping. Either way, she would maintain her stance, silent and unmoving, but poised to strike with her broadsword. (( influx Skyspray (Aquahaze) RedOptics @rollerjade Thunder Whirl))

The first strike was unexpected, but he had enough time to react. To bring his right forearm up and let the extra armor take the hit. Spinning 180 degrees to face her. Reaching back, the sword hilts that were sticking lightly out would now be flush against his back. Gripping the right hilt grip and preparing to draw it. He then caught the shield in the corner of his optic, and would quickly move to the side, it slashing his cheek. Standing ready he narrowed his optics, seeing her Autobrand.
He knew of...something. His helm hurt trying to remember even though they had the same emblem, he felt hesitant, hostile even. His head was so clouded, he couldn't focus for a few seconds. Thunder would regain his composure, all he knew was they had weapons trained on him and he was low on energy. If he started a fight like this, he wouldn't be able to finish it.
"..." He stood ready, gripping one of his swords, ready to draw it at any second.

Havoc threw Another cigar into his mouth as he drew his large hammer. He twirled it around his other hand an Ion Blaster. "Don't make me do this Bastard. Now calm down." Havoc said towering over them. His bulky build was one to be messed with. "Now you need some help. I'm a doctor."

Dashside eyed Havoc as he approached, thankful for some backup - not that she couldn't take Thunder on by herself. With her sword still in a combat stance, her shield flew to her side after making it's run at Thunder's head. Her form tensed and her grip on her blade tightened as Thunder reached for his own weapons, and she prepared to make a counter attack. "I wouldn't advise that if I were you." Her optics moved to his Autobrand, then up to meet his own eyes. "After all, we're on the same team. But if you want to attack me, go ahead. I've been waiting for a challenge."(( Thunder Havoc))

That's right...they are Autobots. Think Thunder, think, what's your backstory? Get the facts right. Human, Society of Swords posed as Cybertron Peace Force attacked Shinjuku, killed everyone, took me. Put me in a body, cloned me, woke up, lost my friends, learned my powers, got my name and met...Calidi. Yeah, then later on I met Leonidas, then the TNT, fought Unicron, beat Sideways, we beat Shadow Stalker and his Knightmares. I restarted the TNT, mostly made out of teenage outliers like me. Okay, he thought, so why am I feeling like this? Where am I? This is Cybertron, they're Autobots, so why am I so hostile? Do I know them? They seem to not know me. So think...THINK! What was I thinking when I shot that mono-eye guy? Okay, formed TNT, fought Decepticons, Akira was the next in line for the Unicronian hierarchy, we repelled them with the Energon Grid...we got that from the---The Superior Universe. Then the Shattered from their universe...everything's coming together.
That's why my radar's off the fritz, that's why they don't know me even though by now I should be a world-known hero who helped stop Unicron. Alternate Universe, and after the Superiors and Shattered, I'm not taking a chance. But just to be sure...
Then to confirm his theories, he needed to ask them a question. The same he asked the blue helicopter.
"I have one question..." Thunder kept gripping his swords, "What happened to Unicron?"

"Unicron ain't real, doofus!" Whirl retorted loudly as he was trying to fix up his leg, "Unicron, Primus, da Guidin' Hand, ain't nothin' greater'n our own scummy assholishness keepin' us as da superior race! We is alone in da cold, uncarin' universe, along wit' a buncha organics what is also miserably alone, all created by a fragload of twisted contrivances, and it sucks!"
He managed to stand up with a rattle of gears and a glare.
"Now hold still, jerk-face. Tanks ta you, I need a replacement knee, an' yours'll do for a quick fix."

"Look.. Unicron is Mythology in most of our beliefs. Where did you come from Pal?" Havoc asked putting his Ion Blaster away. "He probably hit his head on the crash." He would squat lowering himself to Thunder's height being eye to eye with him.

Dashside kept a close eye on Thunder, her fingers still tightly gripping her blade as her shield remained in position. Now he was talking about Unicron. The dead god that nobody could prove had ever existed. Even if he was an Autobot, his actions against both herself and Whirl, in addition to this, showed Dashside that the bot might not be in the best state in terms of his mental faculties. For now, she would play along and be nice, but didn't dare to drop her guard. "Unicron is dead. Or never even existed." She stated firmly, adding onto the flurry of words Whirl seemed to spew at Thunder. It didn't seem to take Havoc long to warm up to Thunder, and as the large bot came to meet with Thunder's optics, Dashside only further prepared herself further for a possible counter-attack.

Alternate universe. Thought so. Alright Thunder what are your odds looking like? Both swords intact, good to know. No flight pack, must have lost it when I got here. Two extra mags of explosive rounds. Low fuel and low energy. The mono-eye is getting up by his fighting stance is hindered. But his kibble placement probably means he's got an aerial mode. Two here look like close range types. Hammer and he's tall, can use his weight against him, disable his Ion blaster and move to the femme. She must have some control over her shield, and she's got a broad sword, heavy. Usually I could manage a two on one after I re-cripple the blue spindly one, but I barely have any fuel left. I have that cube that got thrown at me but that's about it. No time to drink it. I'd get flattened in this fight. Stupid! I should've just knocked him out instead of crippling him. Okay focus, no energy, three hostiles. Fuel's meh, can't fly without the energy wing pack, so what do I do? Wait...!
Thunder then slowly let go of his swords and brought his arms downwards, optics shifting from one opponent to the other.
"I do mean it when I say this wasn't personal. But I don't belong here." Thunder said.
As he is arms were pointing down, the thrusters in his back, sideskirts, the back of his legs, and bottoms of his feet lit up, blasting into the ground. At the same time, emptying both the clips in his underarm autocannons into the ground under him. His motive? Creating quite a large smokescreen, thick and easy to lose sight of people, even when they're right in front of you.

"Son of a glitch!" Havoc said as he spun his hammer around. "I don't got a visual!" He looked around aiming his Ion Blaster around. This guy was clearly crazy.

"Here, I'll take him. I overheard you speaking, it's nice to have another medic. I'm Diamond. Influx yes?" Dia said hastily as she held her sparkling close to her chest, looking him over. A sleeping sparkling didn't mean a motionless one. This little one always flailed or accidentally misfired his weapon in his sleep, a small price to pay.
The commotion happening apart from them caused little concern for the femme however, she only wanted her sparkling to feel better. But she will judge exactly when it gets too close, only then will she take action.

Whirl's optic narrowed to a pinpoint and he glared at the smokescreen. Then he switched on his rotors, blowing away the smoke easily so that Thunder was visible.
"Nuh-uh, buddy. You ain't pullin' no scrap like that now," he activated his paralyzo-box, and sprayed it on the metal ground in front of Thunder. Just a few drops of contact would paralyze Thunder, "Don't worry, I ain't gonna kill ya buddy," he told the mech, "I got some questions ta ask first."

The sparkling kept sleeping, not caring for a minute about the world outside. He was calm, everything was fine. The other mechs fighting in the distance didn't wake him either, he wasn't a light sleeper. Once he got put in his mother's arms, he twitched slightly and instinctively put his face against her neck. It felt safer that way.
