Unicron didn't land on the ground, instead hovering a few feet in the air. Nature glowered up at him, arms crossing. He glowered down at her, his own arms crossing as well. They stared at each other like that for a long few moments, before Gaia and Primus diplomatically stepped in. "Unicron, come over here for a moment."

Unicron and Primus stood off to the side as Nature glowered at her sister. :Alright, I believe you.:

Unicron smirked, optics nearly glowing from his delight. :She's perfect. I must have her. I must.:

Primus refrained from saying out loud that the two could probably destroy each other before ever admitting that they liked each other. And from what he could tell, Nature despised Unicron. :And how are you thinking of getting her?:

Silence fell, wrapping its dark tendrils around them with icy coldness. :I don't know.:

Primus shook his head. :I would suggest you figure out some way to convince her. Certainly I know that it's going to be hard. You're already off on the wrong foot.:

Unicron muttered out loud, "Thank you for reminding me." The sarcasm made a slight whizzing noise as it flew harmlessly over Primus's head.

"You're welcome. Now, if you don't mind… I, while your trying to convince her, going to be with Gaia."

Unicron snorted, but he glanced at the two sisters, standing in the light. Primus, for the first time in millenniums actually looked at Unicron. Unicron had long existed before Primus, and even Primus knew not what worked in the CPU of Unicron. :Primus- Do you think we should have a destruction contest?:

"A what?"

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Nature glowered at her sister as her sister looked back patiently. "But, Gaia! I don't want to get to know him! It's better that he should just die for insulting my careful work."

Gaia shook her head, the sigh quivering through the earth. "Nature, I thought you complained about being bored."

"I'd rather be bored then have to put up with him for any longer! You know- when that little two-bit processor landed here he had the gall to insult both of us! And he claimed that he could destroy us. Pah!"

Gaia's arms crossed. "Nature, that may be what he claimed, and it may be true."

Nature laughed at that. "Him, destroy us? His body-"

"That isn't his real body. Weren't you paying attention when Primus and I talked? His real body is a giant planet." Gaia pointed out. "What if his entire body is simply all metal?"

Nature fell silent at that, just as Primus voice squawked out, "A what?"

Both glanced over, interested. Unicron glanced back at them, blue optics glinting in the light, before looking back at Primus. "A destroying contest. Whoever destroys the most amount will win."

"And how do you plan on doing that? It can't be taken off the planet, and moreover, it's not like she can't just simply destroy it immediately. She's part of the planet."

"Easy, I send down several drones that your precious creations left lying around, reprogram them, and may the best planet win."

Primus gaped, appalled at the lack of planning and the wholesale destruction it promised- "Who would referee?" Nature demanded. Primus barely kept from jumping as her body formed in the air. "Moreover, would there be a time limit? How many?"

"Would you say ten drones, five seconds, you have to destroy them one at a time, each in a different way. Primus can make sure that I play fair, and Gaia can make sure you do."

"Are you suggesting I would cheat?" The soft, dangerous question hung in the air, twisting and twining its way around the emptiness.

Unicron had absolutely no social skills. None whatsoever. It was only he who couldn't hear the dangerousness behind that question. "Maybe."

Primus elbow smashed into Unicrons side before the word was anymore then halfway out. "Of course not. It is simply to mark your time-"

Before Unicron could say anything, Primus dragged him backwards. "If you don't mind us, we need to have a private conversation for a single moment-"

:What do you think you're doing?!: the message demanded, :If you insult her now she'll never talk to you again.:

Angry, stormy optics glowered up at Primus, as Primus glowered downwards at the still-doubled over Unicron. Primus distantly realized that the optics were bright blue, signifying that Unicron was using one of the bodies of the Autobots, one of the chief protectors. It didn't matter much right now.

:I was simply stating the truth. I thought you adored the truth Primus.: Unicron snarled back. Primus wondered if there was any way to take off the edge of his massive CPU ache.

:I didn't think you ever told the truth.:

Unicron snorted. :I'd never get around to seducing away any of your creations then. You have to imbue at least one truth per lie.:

That statement made Primus begin to think. How had Unicron taken away so many of his children? It was something worth looking into-

Back on Cybertron, more then one starving mech found themselves gibbering in thankfulness as a small well of energon was discovered. Energon was a rapidly dwindling commodity as Primus was unable to produce it, and repair his surface at the same time. As the war grew tougher, more damaging, the energon dwindled. Unicron straightened slowly, and Primus remarked out loud, "You should probably, the next time you come down, come as what you look like in robot mode."

Nature interrupted, "You mean that ugly face isn't what he always looks like?"

"No, it isn't." Unicron snarled. "And Primus, I'm working on it. It'll take a few orns to get the body fully replicated however. It's not like I have a mirror."

"Oh boy, I bet your real form is even uglier!" Nature laughed. Gaia looked aghast for a moment, before grabbing her sister.

"NATURE!" The earth rocking, ground trembling shout came from the very center of the planet, making both aliens stiffen slightly. "Nature-" Gaia continued in the same tone, "If you continue insulting guests, I will make myself a new volcano in the middle of London and erupt it."

"You-" Nature stopped, struggling with what she was going to say. "Fine. I won't insult him."

Gaia nodded, and slowly she relaxed, her voice no longer speaking from deep within her. "Good. Primus, Unicron, it's a duel."

"Wait, when did I suddenly get into this?" Primus demanded, perplexed.
