((Dust, Darkraid, Trius, Shadowfire, Onslaught)) (D,D,D,D,D)

Dust toddles around
Oracle is leaning against one of the city walls.
Dust smiles at Oracle
Oracle nods her head politely back to Dust.
Dust says softly "Hi lady"
Oracle's tone is kind. "Hello. I don't believe we've met. Who might you be?"
Dust says, "Dust is Dust. Who you?"
You say, "I am Oracle."
Dust says, "Dust happy to meet yo u. Can she sniff you?"
You say, "I have no objections."
Dust goes to Oracle and sniffs her.
Dust nods once she's sure Oracle isnt threatening.
You say, "What brings you to Crystal City?"
Dust says, "Dust playing. and she lonely.."
You say, "What are you playing?"
Dust says, "right now. she chase string."
Dust smiles as she chases a small wiry string around
You say, "Where are the others of your faction?"
Dust says, "and where string lands. that where dust play."
Dust says, "they at home. in darkmount."
You say, "Do you not like playing there?"
Dust says, "it lonely. and everyone talk about stoopid war."
You say, "You don't like the war then?"
Dust shakes her head "Dust fix people. she not fight"
You say, "Fixing others is a noble duty."
Dust says, "dust like it!"
You say, "It is a good thing to like one's job."
Dust smiles big and nods "wot you do?"
You say, "I study and record history."
Darkraid strides into the area slowly, apparently muttering to himself about something
Oracle, upon seeing Darkraid enter, gives him a greeting smile.
Dust says, "oooh. that soudn fun"
Dust talks to oracle happily.
You say, "I enjoy it very much. I'm looking for old records of our people right now, as well as recording what goes on around me."
Dust says, "oh ok..."
Darkraid blinks, taking a moment to realize who Oracle is he nods and waves, appraoching her and Dust
Dust says, "Hi unca dawk wades!"
Darkraid says, "HEya kiddo"
Oracle, turning to Darkraid, asks,"And how are you today?"
Darkraid says, "Eh not bad"
Dust says, "This is dust's new friend or or cold."
You say, "Could be better?"
Darkraid says, "I suppose"
Oracle looks slightly concerned. "Is anything wrong?"
Darkraid shakes his head, "No"
You say, "That's good."
Dust starts to chase her string some more.
You say, "What have you been up to as of late Darkraid?"
Darkraid says, "Nothig really, just been performing my duties"
You say, "Are you on duty right now?"
Darkraid chuckles, "No. I'd be in Polyhex if I was"
You say, "You never know when someone will ask you to do something out of the ordinary."
Dust grasps her feet and rolls on her back playing.
Oracle watches Dust for a moment.
Darkraid nods, "Well yeah..."
Dust keeps rolling until she notices shes being watched. she stops midroll and smiles, big purple optics looking to Oracle, embarassed like.
Oracle smiles at Dust to ease her embarassment.
Darkraid follows Oracles gaze, he kneels down and scritches Dust's stomach for a bit
Darkraid says, "It's okay kiddo"
Dust ooohs and thumps her leg. she seems to love the scritchies.
Dust coos and purrs.
Darkraid chuckles and stands again, "So what have you been up to Oracle?"
Darkraid says, "No problem kiddo"
You say, "Just making the aquaintance of more people. Nothing much."
Dust goes back to batting at her string, rolling on the ground like a big turbo cat.
Trius walks into the area and looks around. His roving optic sensor misses littler as he probes the masses of Cybertrians in the area.
Oracle nods respectufully to Trius...a little too politely.
Darkraid nods, "Sounds like fun"
Trius nods to Oracle.
Shadowfire walks through the courtyard en route to Igneues, but see's a massive crowd of Transformers he knows, such as Dust and Darkraid so he pauses.
Oracle nods to the new arrival to the area.
Trius crosses his arms and looks over the group of Decepticons and others.
Dust blinks and looks scared suddenly.
Dust says, "hi..shadowfire..."
Darkraid looks around, noting Trius he nods before turning back to Oracle and Dust
Dust hides between Darkraid's legs
Oracle notes Dust's reaction and glances sharply at Trius and Shadowfire.
Dust stares at shadowfire, the apparent cause of her fear.
Darkraid looks down at Dust, "You okay kiddo?"
Trius steps up to the small gathering. he nods to the Decepticons present. "Greetings." He says in a cold clipped tenor.
Dust says, "Shadowfire say night vision here and he scary anyways..."
Shadowfire walks out from the alleyway and strides over to Dust, his eyes as evil and red as ever. He smiles in an apparently nice fashiopn. He truly believes he isn't nasty to Duyst...
You say, "Greetings Trius."
Shadowfire nods to Trius coldly. He still secretly has a hatred of Trius for... Matters.
Dust sucks her thumb and shrinks back
Shadowfire says, "Commander."
Shadowfire turns back to Dust.
Oracle smiles slightly, giving no reason for the slight upturning of her lips.
Shadowfire says, "Dust, are you alright? You seem shaken."
Darkraid backs up a bit, before kneeling down and scooping Dust up in his arms
Trius appears unaware of Shadowfire's resentment as he looks at Shadowfire for a moment. He looks at Oracle, and then at Dust.
Dust says, "Onslaught say you trouble."
Shadowfire looks dirfectly at Dust with a serious glimmer in his eyes.
Shadowfire says, "Excuse me?"
Shadowfire says, "Elaborate Dust."
Shadowfire takes on his serious teachers demeanor, in voice, and way of standing.
Dust hugs darkraid protectively "He say you bad and that why school torn down and that dust no should let you scare her."
Shadowfire looks at her, his eyes not evil, nor clear all of a sudden.
Shadowfire says, "I... Do not understand."
Shadowfire says, "Bad? In what way?"
Trius folds his arms over his chest. .oO(Something interesting is about to happen.)
Dust says, "Dust not know."
Shadowfire loosk at her with interest. He bows his head for a second before turning from Dust, Trius aqnd Darkraid.
Shadowfire says, "I see."
Oracle steps back, feeling the tension, and watches everyone intently, her green optics glittering slightly.
Shadowfire says, "So I am to be the latest chrisened a traitor, am I?"
Shadowfire says, "They would chrisen my brother with that name, and now I."
Dust says, "Dust no say that. he just say you trouble."
Shadowfire says, "Words, Dust. Words mean little."
Shadowfire says, "Its the meaning behind them."
Trius tilts his head, "I was unaware that you have been 'christend' a traitor."
Dust says, "Well he is Dust's unca."
Dust says, "aand dust listen to her unca."
Darkraid pats Dust's backand watches Shadowfire out of the corner of his optics, his main attention currently focused on Oracle
Shadowfire says, "I'm sure."
Shadowfire throws his head at Dust in a very menacing fashion, his eyes lighting up evilly for a second.
Dust meeps burying her head in darkraid's chest.
Shadowfire says, "I'm sure you miss Shadowfell Dust. He died for you."
Shadowfire says, "It *seems* like you miss him, don't you?"
Shadowfire says, "You sicken me."
Dust wimpers "dust say go away!!!" she seems terrified.
Trius watches Shadowfire, his demeanor and energy reading changing in such an interesting and erratic fasion.
Shadowfire turns to depart, making his way evilly towards the exit.
Shadowfires energy readings calm *very* down.
Oracle moves towards Darkraid and Dust in a non-offensive manner.
Dust looks down as if ashamed of something.
Shadowfire walks to the doorway. He looks back for one second. As he looks back, it as if the pride and honor in the teachers eyes has been extinguished, as if he has lost everything now...
Dust says softly "dust sorry he was caught being a traitor and she was part of the reason"
Trius glances over at Oracle for a moment, as if gauging her intention. He then returns his attention to the retreating form of Shadowfire.
Dust says, "but she pay back. she a con now. she pay back."
Shadowfire looks at Dust whispering "He was not a traitor. He was a friend.", before he leaves.
*ShadowFire leaves*
Oracle glances at Dust.
Darkraid shakes his head and sighs
Onslaught strolls into the city, "Hello, Darkraid, Dust, Trius."
Trius looks over at Onslaught, "Greetings." He says in that cold clipped voice of his.
Oracle nods to Onslaught. "We met again I see."
Dust is held by darkraid and she seems rather scared.
Onslaught shrugs, "A fitting use if you were to ask me, Trius."
Darkraid sets Dust down slowly
Trius nods, "It may be at that Onslaught.
Dust gives a salute to her commanding officers once set down.
Trius nods to Dust, not one stand stand on military convention. He looks at his picks up the cybertronian communication
Onslaught waves a hand dismissively, "At ease child."
Dust smiles "dust be good soldier.
Onslaught listens to his radio. "Perhaps I should go teach him a lesson."
Dust salutes everyone in the area the. darkraid, oracle, a turbo rat...
Darkraid says, "I'd almost be willing to help, Onslaught"
Dust says, "Dust help!"
Trius nods, "We should bring him to Darkmount before he causes himself irrepaerable damage."
Onslaught says, "Triage would have my aft if I let you two do that."
Dust pouts.
Onslaught says, "Come on, let's go quell our wayward warrior."
Trius nods
Onslaught lowers to become a large missile battery.
Dust says, "fine..dust stay right here and be stoopid kid."
Darkraid looks at Onsluaght, "Sir if I could I'd like to stay here"
Dust crosses her arms and sits on the ground.
Missile Battery says, "You can ride along, if you wish.. however, you will be safer with Darkraid."
Dust says, "dust do wot she ordered.."
Oracle is silent as she hears the exchanges between the Decepticons.
Trius hovers in the air as he prepares to move to Shadowfire's location.
Darkraid turns back to Oracle, "Well this is wonderful thing to happen while I'm off duty..."
You say, "I don't pretend to understand that last scene, but it was hardly friendly."
Trius looks over at Oracle, "The level of friendliness is irrelivent. The results however may prove to be costly for Shadowfire."
*Trius leaves*
Darkraid says, "If you want to see a battle from safety Oracle you can ride along with me....as well as Dust"
Dust says, "dust come!!!"
You say, "It will be benificial to my calling to witness the battle."
Darkraid nods, "Well then shall we go somewhere I have enough room to transform then?"
Dust skitters back "ok"
You say, "Very well."
Darkraid offer Oracle his arm, "Shall we?"
Oracle accepts the arm and leaves with Darkraid.
Dust toddles along
*Leaves*
Darkraid transforms into Tetra Bomber.
Tetra Bomber transmits, "Everybody in"
*enter battle area*
Onslaught grabs some scrap from the surface, and binds Shadowfire's head so his optics always look up, and he has no chance to blast himself.
Arbiter's hand trails a bit of energy, he waves it absently tracing a blue arc as the last magnetic flux dissipates from his fingertips.
Trius looks over Shadow, "I can disconect his onbaord firepower system."
Tetra Bomber circles overhead slowly, observing the proceedings
Arbiter watches the cons fuss around "I must insist you remove yourselves quickly"
Trius looks up at Arbiter as he finishes disconnecting Shadowfires firepower systems. "We are movng fast as it is possible." He looks skyward....
Dust goes to sleep inside darkraid.
Oracle watches Dust sleep.
Darkraid transmits 'Aw...slag.....umm....I gotta drop you off' to Oracle.
Trius finishes binding Shadowfire and looks up at Darkraid as he will need his assistance before he can move Shadowfire's immobilzed form.
Tetra Bomber circles down to the ground and lands, opening a door in his side
Darkraid transmits ' I'll meet you in CC as soon as I can' to Oracle.
Oracle exits the TetraBomber, taking a last look at Dust as she leaves.
Shadowfire is put into Tetra Bomber by whomever.
Trius helps load Shadowfire into the bomber.
*Trius Leaves*
Tetra Bomber closes the door and powers his thruster back up and rumbles back up into the sky
*tetra bomber leaves*
*exits*
