As always, Starscream gets his leads from the internet. Enough skulking around on the human network and you were bound to find rumors of <i>something</i>.

He'd flown to Japan this time, chasing rumors of some Cybertronian artifact or another. The sakura petals were blowing and his kokoro was-- no Okay he was just walking through the woods at the moment, trying to pinpoint the exact location of some ruins that he'd heard about. And then suddenly...

Was that a cybertronian life signal he was picking up...?

Drift wouldn’t admit it, but he’s been waiting for this. He’s been stuck here for months on a solo mission and spent a great deal of said mission by himself. The isolation was welcome at first, but he grew weary from it after a time. His only reprieve was studying the humans from afar to gain a better understanding of them and their planet. That, and his occasional report to HQ.

It’s been a while since he’s had any face-to-face contact with a fellow cybertronian, and even longer since his swords have tasted combat.

Calm energy, Drift.

He’s itching for a fight; there’s a restless hunger for battle dwelling inside of him. But what the decepticon said rang true – the life forms here are delicate. He couldn’t afford careless attacks that could cause further harm.

“Alright, listen…I think we both know why you’re here, but this place is off-limits. I’ll give you one more warning. Back off, and I’ll forgive the damage you’ve already done.”

Drift draws his second sword and takes a step back into a battle-ready pose. It’s a stance he’s witnessed on earth, and he’s eager to give it a try.

“Really? So you’re Starscream? Can’t say I’m impressed. But your aura’s certainly oppressive, I’ll give you that. I didn’t realize the decepticon’s second-in-command had stooped to lowly retrieval missions. All by yourself?”

He grins and adjusts to a defensive stance.

“I’ve tried projectile weaponry and let me tell you that it’s overrated. My swords are an extension of myself and I can handle them better than any gun.”

Cons always seem to forget that projectiles work best at what they’re made for…long-range combat. But for all his talk, Drift knows that dodging a blast at this range won’t be easy. His best chance is to strike first in attempt to gain the advantage.

He springs forward, one sword by his side as the other lashes out in a blow aimed at Starscream’s arm.

“We’ll see who’s playing!”
