-Playtime Ruin-
it's dragon time again :>:>:>:>:>
scene transcript underneath :>
Vollycover, the small playful hatching, usually loves to prowl and raze her way through the foliage near her parents cave colony entrance. It's a perfectly safe area for her when no one is around to keep constant watch; especially since her juvenile patterning keeps her well camouflaged against any harmful eye.
One day, when both Astrotrain and Blitzwing have been gone for an unusual amount of time, Vollycover starts to get fidgety from the lack of company from, frankly, anyone at all. No other dragon that she usually sees have flown or called by, the only noises she could hear through out the 3 days were faint roars or calls of other dragons, none that she could recognize though. The hunger also started to slowly creep in and make her visibly cranky, the only thing staving off true hunger are the bugs and a small cy-lizards she manages to wrangle. At this stage in Vollycovers growth she is too small to hunt on her own, her lack of skill and limited flight stamina can only bring her so far without assitance.
So when Vollycover hears the heavy steps of a large figure coming up near the front covered clearing of the cave, she excitedly rushes over to the clearing, thinking it's a familiar dragon or even better one of her parents. She enthusiastically chirps and growls at the larger dragon, her fluttering wings giving her a bounce to her step. The larger dragon looms over Vollycover, a sinister feeling drips from its very maw and spark; she stops in place and properly look up and the grave figure above her perched on the rock.
This dragon, if you could even call it that, was one she'd never seen or heard of before. It was strange and scary, the multiple eyes boring into her feeble spark. The thing looked to be made from one of Shockwaves 'experiments'; now she's never actually seen one of his experiments regarding living things, she's only heard of the stories of what happened them and their grotesqueness from either her parents (mainly Blitzwing) or from one of the other colony dragons that they hang/work with. the scales along it's body were few but large and plated, like a spikey pile of live oak leaves. It's massive legs gripped at the rock below, the massive blunt claw threatening to crush it under its weight. The singular pair of limbs reminded Vollycover of birds as their bipedalism perfectly matched, but even then the legs of this beast looked off; like someone fused a pair of arms and legs together then artificially attached them to the body.
The deep guttural growl from this fake dragon shook Vollycover from the ground, her little claws digging into the ground to prevent her from dropping slack to the ground. Her body shivered in fear almost frozen in place and unable to steel herself; she instinctively rose her wings wide to make herself appear bigger, her little growls meekly aiding in this display. She wasn't going to run away, she was just as big and scary as her parents; she told herself as the beast slowly stretched its organic head towards her, the open maw presenting large and sharp teeth. Her legs shuffled her body backwards when it did this even though she thought she wouldn't budge. It's hot acrid breath baked her scales under its weight, there still was a good head or two of space in between them, but that was too close for comfort.
Vollycover let out her deepest growl her body could produce; if she had exposed gular sacs like her parents, they would be fully puffed out in a proper threat display. The second the massive creature moved its head a spec forward, she snapped her jaw of milk teeth as a last warning to not come near. It didn't even react to her threat display and just canted its devilish jaw wider; the inside slightly more exposed showed another row of villiform teeth. What little confidence she had left instantly drained from her body from this reaction; her hackles quaked in petrified fear as every muscle in her body tensed, ready to fee at moments noticed.
The air was thick in tension and heat coming off the sear size of this monstrosity. Vollycover would swear that it might be bigger than her carrier, Astrotrain, who was by far one of the largest dragons she'd seen. She desperately wished her carrier was here at this moment because she knew that he could beat thing beast, he would tear it to smithereens then present the massacred body to her then to the colonies leader in boastful satisfaction. Tears glossed over her optics as it threatens to blur her vision; she want her parents to be back! Where were they and why aren't they back yet? Did this beast get them and then tracked her sent? Did it get the colony? Her fellow hatchling friends? What does it want? Why is it here? Where is everyone?
Unanswered questions raced through her mind, every question becoming more desperate and scared. The thick tense air only increased when the maw of teeth moved and complex growls and clicks were heard; it was trying to speak but the language just sounds so alien to her, even as its noises were now sounding more and more irritated. A sudden pause in the attempted communication brought Vollycover out of her mind of questions, everything was still and threatened to snap at a moments notice.
