Starscream's perspective

                 I was at the ship discussing about the whole predacon thing. My brother was alive so I just found out and he's on his way back. "Is it really wise for Shockwave to spawn an army of beasts, here in this laboratory? Or within any part of this warship, I mean not even the lone beast we had was compact enough to stroll these corridors without tearing them asunder... which reminds me,  I am so very sorry for your loss." Shockwave stares me down angrily "I was referring to my off-site laboratory which we have erected expressly for the cloning procedures." I was left in shock and I hated it. "You think of everything dont you?"

               Just then a loud bang goes off and shakes the ship. "We are under attack!!" I panic. "Autobots!?" Shockwave explains "illogical. Though there appears to be an enormous upon the upper hull." Just as he finishes talking, the door opens and my brother comes sliding in. "Hey guys! I'm back—" my liege runs to him and hugs him tightly. My abnoxious twin gasps for air at his strong grasp "Okay... okay..., I'm happy to see you too. Can you let go now?" Megatron releases him and he breaths in hard. Lord Megatron apologies and kneels down "We're you harmed in Darkmount's fall? You don't seem to have been." ShiverTooth shakes his head.

           I then noticed his bright expression and how vibrant the red in his eyes were. "What happened to your eyes!? Weren't they grey before!?" The others realized and were shocked. My liege asks "Wait seriously? Shivers how did you get back to yourself?" ShiveTooth looks away as if he didn't rememberz. He then states "I got hit in the head." I snort "How hard?" His optics darken and he glared at me, clearly unamused "A bit lighter than what I'm about to do to you." He grabs a rod beside him and holds it up like a bat. I panic and run behind Shockwave. The rude tank just lets him by and chase me. Megatron however steps in and separates us. "Shivers, relax. He already received a beating." He tells my twin. My brother lowers the rod and confirms "Not by me...." "You'd kill him." Megatron says. Shivertooth looks to me again "I probably would..." he drops the rod and then says "Also, Predacon's up top."

             He then runs off to go to the beast. We go up to the roof and damn. He was right.

ShiverTooth's Perspective

              The predacon walks up to us and my brother screeches "How did it find us!!??" My scientific friend declares "Predacons possess precise homing instincts." My master adds "And astonishing resilience. Seekers, assume command of my beast." My brother stutters "U-um.... Us, master? I-I mean I wouldn't dream of seizing such an honor from its very creator-"  shockwave states "Military command of the predacon is most logical since my services are required elsewhere." The door closes and my brother shreaks when we're finally alone with the beast.

           Predaking looks to me and whines, pointing to my eyes "What about my eyes?" I ask. He turns his lights up a bit. I confirm "Oh, they're more vibrant." He nods and then taps the side of my face where he last hit me, thus whimpering and lowering his horns. I state "I'm fine. Why did you attack me though?" He growls and dims his lights. I ask "You didn't like when they were dull?" He shakes his helm. I hold my hand out to try again and this time he accepts. He lets me brush his snout and I look back to see my twin cowering in the corner, trying to find a prod or something.

             I being the creature out into the open space of the ship's upper deck and decide to see if I can teach him a few tricks. "Okay, so there's these things called tricks. It's a fun little action that masters teach their pets. Now I'm not your master but I want to see if you can learn them. Are you up for that." He nods and I bring up a video on one of the screens. It was a dog getting down on his front legs to go chase something or jump up and catch a toy.... Such as a disc or what humans call a frisbee. I grab a metal disc that was lying around from an old repair and turn it a bit in my hand, showing him. He admires the object and then tries to grab it. I take it away and he steps back. He looks back to the video and then does what the dog did; get down on his front paws. I back up and throw it and he jumps up and catches the disc in his mouth, coming down with a loud thump. He plays with the metal saucer in his mouth before dropping it infront of me.

           We practice the trick a few times before switching onto another one. Humans called this one "Shake". I explain "There's 2 versions of this, one is where you lay on your back and shake, the other is similar to a handshake. Except you use your paws." He looks to his front servo and then chirps, looking back to me. I teach him the handshake one which he got fairly easily and then I teach him the other. He was laughing and roaring while he did it.

         And then I chose to teach him one of humans favorites: Play Dead. I explain it to him and he lowers his horns. I show him a few videos and the next thing he does is roll onto his side and close his eyes. I look to him "You good?" He doesn't answer. I whistle and that snaps him out of it. He gets back up and I eject my blaster and hold it up. He growls and begins to light his fire up. I shake my arms and say "It's just part of the trick!" He stops and I make a shot sound with my arm and he does what he did earlier: lay down on the ground. I laugh my aft off and shortly after, he begins to do the same. He stood back up and while I was congratulating him, I hear my twin....
