All this talk about Chicken Dinner mixed with my current hyperfixation turned into this.
------------------------------------
Tfp Kids (plus June and the other parents(optional) + Team Prime + Decepticons are all stuck in the Nemesis for some reason.
Maybe Mech managed to take over the world and are looking for them, maybe Quintessons, idk, whatever the problem is, it just has to make them have to make nice with each other.
Their only link to the outside world at the moment is Agent Fowler, who is sending them resources so they don't have to risk going down.
Anyway, the kids are feeling kinda down, since they've just been stuck in the Nemesis for a while, not able to see the sky or touch grass. They're even starting to miss going to school.
Seeing this, June (or Raf’s mom.) trying to cheer them up, or at least release all that pent up youthful energy, makes a suggestion: Chicken Dinner.
The kids immediately agree. (Miko might not know what it is at first. She's gonna be ecstatic once she finds out tho.)
They request a stretch of flat floor to be sequestered off and sanitized, then it's up to Agent Fowler to send up some roasted goods and swimsuits or something. Something formfitting and easy to wash for the kids to wear.
Anyway, the kids crouch around the ring (the area looks like a large circle on the floor, just for them.) Mechs, both ‘bots and ‘cons, gather around out of curiosity to watch what the weird organics are up to now.
June whistles, and the kids perk up to attention, crouching down on all fours, all eyes glued to the prize, some of them already licking their chops. She throws the first, still-steaming carcass, and they're off.
It's a dirty battle, right from the start.
Jack is the biggest of the three, and he uses that to his advantage. Bulldozing forward, shrugging aside the other two, and hunching over his prize, he shields it with his body as he takes the first bite.
Raf, however, is scrappy. He may be small, but he has something in droves that Jack doesn't; siblings. And with that, came experience.
Raf leaps at Jack’s back, claws out, and starts scrabbling at him, effectively distracting him from the prize. Jack yowls and rears back, trying to swipe him away. Raf waits for a swing to go wide, then jumps off, throwing him off balance. As Jack braces himself, Raf darts under his arm, tackles the carcass away from under him, and scrambles away on all fours, his prize held in his teeth, panting happily as he goes.
Finally, Miko seems to get it. She shrieks, a sound almost impossible to have come from a human. She's all feral delight with a hyena-like grin slashed across her face and she gallivants off toward poor Raf, who suddenly feels very small indeed.
Raf yelps, though manages to take a leg with as he scrambles out of the way of Miko's charge, the girl immediately tearing into the carcass. Delighted yips and threatening growls escaped her as she dug both claws into succulent meat. She bit deep and shook her head, tearing flesh from bone, bits and morsels flying off as she took her fill.
The other two approach slowly, cautiously, but the warning sounds and swiping claws prevent them from getting too close, and they grumble enviously as they concede.
Jack glares for a few seconds more before meeting Raf's eyes, both kids coming to an agreement. It's her first time anyway; they'll let her have this one. Besides, it's only the first round. No sense drawing too much blood this early on.
This round is won.
They crawl back to their respective corners of the designated arena, and wait for the next carcass to fall.
