Repair Bay
Drag Strip couldn’t help but laugh at Wildrider’s ridiculous display as he attempted to mimic a violent, made up scene between Motormaster and the yellow racer. His flailing arms and crazy facial expressions, accompanied by high pitched sound effects, only served to prove just how crazy the terrorist really was. “You should’ve been a comedian, Wildrider,” Drag replied, waving his hand at his comrade’s silly antics. “Your portrayal of me isn’t even close. Besides, you wouldn’t know the best if it came up and kicked you in your aft section!”
Drag Strip then followed up his comment by playfully kicking Wildrider in his rear. “See what I mean? And if you keep up your crazy stunts, you will be long gone without ever realizing just how great I am. Of course, I’ll still be here, being the best at everything while you’re rusting away in some scrap pile! Haha! And it won’t be hard for Motormaster to replace you, either! After all, there are plenty of crazy ‘Cons around!”
Drag Strip found his exchange with Wildrider to be entertaining and a great way to pass the time without having to think about the dire situation they were all in now since the apparent destruction of Megatron. It also helped Drag to forget about his nightmares regarding the encounter and near death experience at the hands of the Autobot Hex. The yellow mech felt like his old self again, surrounded by his Stunticon brethren, none of whom seemed to understand just how great he was.
Out of all the Stunticons, Wildrider gave Drag Strip the most grief over his self-absorbed views. The terrorist was like a jealous sibling who teased and prodded Drag at every turn, unable to accept just how exceptional his brother was. But, the former racer enjoyed the challenge of trying to top each and every comment Wildrider made. Of course, his reactions only seemed to fuel the terrorist’s desire to continue making fun of him even more, but that was part of the endless fun.
Drag Strip’s attention was then drawn to Dead End, who had asked him about his paint job. The former racer checked the back of the doomsayer’s head where Ramjet had previously hit him. “Oh my, look at that!” Drag exclaimed, trying to keep a straight face plate. “That’s a mighty big scrape! You may want to get that touched up before it starts to rust. If you let it go for too long your whole head will rust right off!”
The yellow mech let out a low chuckle as he knew perfectly well that there was no real damage to Dead End’s paint scheme that he noticed. Drag simply wanted to see the enviable reaction from the always depressed Stunticon.
Corridors
Skywarp stalked the corridors of the ship with an unbridled rage streaming through his circuits. Darkride was the mech his anger was directed towards and when he found him the diminutive torturer would regret the day he ever violated the black and purple seeker. It was clearly meant as a way for Darkride to exact his revenge for the prank ‘Warp had played on him previously. However, dumping bright paint on a mech was one thing, but to tap into someone’s mind and use their own personal thoughts against them was going far beyond the realm of acceptable retaliation. It was something the teleporter could not let stand. He would make the interrogator pay dearly, one way or another.
Skywarp then rounded a corner and came face plate to face plate with Darkride. The slimly little mech approached him in a nonchalant and seemingly friendly manner, saying something about how all seekers sounded alike, except for the femmes, of course.
”They certainly are a distinctive breed. Wouldn’t you agree?”
Darkride’s words echoed within Skywarp’s audio receptors. They were all he actually remembered hearing the interrogator say as it was a direct jab at him and what had just transpired with Nightraven. The torturer knew what he had done and had no fear in letting the seeker know it.
As Skywarp came within reach, he grabbed a hold of Darkride with both hands and lifted him up off the floor, slamming his back into a nearby wall. Locking optics with his prey, ‘Warp sneered at him. “I know what you did, Darkride, you filthy little slagger! You invaded my mind somehow, didn’t you? How else would you have known about my feelings for Nightraven?! I swear to Primus I’ll make your life from here on out a living hell! You think the prank I played on you before was bad? You haven’t seen anything yet, my little sick friend! I’ll find something that actually hurts you. Everyone has a weak spot and you’re no different!”
Skywarp’s rage subsided slightly at the sound of other ‘Cons talking in an adjacent corridor. He glanced down the hallway to ensure that they were still alone before returning his icy glare back at Darkride. “Now, you listen to me as I’m only going to say this once. I want whatever you downloaded from my head. All copies you may have made. Everything! Do you understand me, you perverted little slagger?” The teleporter increased the strength of his grip on Darkride, digging his actuators into the interrogator’s arms as he continued pressing him against the wall. “DO YOU?!?”
