Graveblade merely glanced shadowstrikes way, " I simply found it on a misson, you know just following orders." He then looked at starscream to reply, " Of course commander won't happen again."
Graveblade cleared his throat as he turned to starscream, "anyway commander, before this whole set of events i did what you asked and found something you might want to take a look at." he said bringing out a chunk of dark energon and holding it for starscream to grab.
Graveblade looked at shadowstrike and stared her down, " I was just following orders when starscream told me to head to your location! besides, you two were the ones arguing over who should get the kill, allowing the auto-bot to gain so much distance!" He yelled
Graveblade just looked back at starscream, " Well you see sir, it was a simple task but she was already running by the time i showed up, and had used a ground bridge to escape our clutches."
Graveblade just stared back at her, "This isn't my fault! You two are the ones who kept arguing over who would get the kill!" He started raising his voice a little, " And if anyones getting the blame for it its going to be all of us!"
Graveblade just kept pursuing, while laughing menacingly, " HAHAHHAHA, its been so long since a chase like this!" at the same time shot the hand grenade out of the sky now getting closer and closer to the limping auto-bot.
Graveblade was still a ways behind riptide but he still had her in his sights. As long as he could see her he could shoot her. So he started spraying bullets and missiles in her direction trying to land as many hits as possible.
Graveblade grabbed matriarch by the neck and slammed her into the wall, " I'm not the messenger, I came here to finish the job..." He then let go and transformed flying after riptide.
Graveblade noticed riptide running off and quickly turned towards matriarch, " I don't care who gets the kill just go kill the damn bot before we all get in trouble!"
Graveblade landed next to shadowstrike and matriarch in the middle of their little squabble, " I'm sorry to interrupt ladies but we have a job to do," He said bringing out his twin mini-guns, " and if we don't kill the auto-bots now starscream might yell at us ferociously."
