OOC: This takes place on Day 21 (Day 5 of the Small Plots period). Semi-private thread, please ask before joining.
----------
Ah, a beautiful, peaceful day after all that duplicate nonsense is over. The sun is out, the breeze is blowing, and a garden full of lovely plants lies near the Heroes' base of operations.
However, this peace is soon shattered, by the colossal form of Grimlock, Dinobot Commander crashing down into said garden, skidding several feet and tearing up a section of the flora there. The mighty saurian robot has been uppercut into this area by his brother-in-arms, as the two are currently having a bit of a ...disagreement.
~
"Raargh! Why Slag do that?! Me Grimlock just ask simple question! Why Slag no help me Grimlock fight fake Grimlock, fake Rodimus, and others?!"
Grimlock stands, planting his feet in the garden, stomping down a few more plants, and bits of what he drug up falling off of him.
Oh, dear. This is gonna get ugly.

Slag crashes down in the garden, in front of Grimlock. His expression is one of rage, purely because he wants to hide his embarrassment. There he was, ready to fight evil, and what happens? His legs break because he underestimated gravity and ended up stuck.
However, among the many things Slag is bad at, blaming himself for a problem is one of them.
"You STUPID Grimlock should know why me Slag couldn't help! Thanks to stupid plan, me was stuck! You should beaten up fake Rodimoose there so me could have fought him too!" Slag roars, before moving to kick the dinobot commander to vent some more of his frustration.

"Hmph, Dinobots no get stuck. They get slowed down!" Then Slag kicks at Grimlock, and he manages to bring his arms up to block it, but winds up knocked over to an undisturbed part of the garden. His impact shakes the area, possibly disturbing any delicate plants close by.
Soon, Grimlock is back on his feet. "If Slag going to make excuses, Slag could have at least checked in!"
He may have. Grimlock doesn't remember, so that may as well be Did Not in his mind.

An ear-splitting shriek carries over the sounds of the clashing Dinobots.
"OUT! OUT OF MY @%&%@% GARDEN, YOU OBLIVIOUS OAFS, BEFORE I FRY BOTH OF YOU INSENSATE!!! OUT!!"
There is a very pissed off, pulled up to her extended full height(think Xaaron height) plant lady several feet away. She has one arm in a sling, and a large bandage wrapped around her torso. She is under medical orders not to transform, but the unbridled fury on her face indicates that she means every bit of what she shouts.
"GET OUT!"

Slag was about to go and beat up Grimlock some more to vent his rage, but then he hears something. And a plant pops up. A very angry plant.
Slag blinks at the plant, then at Grimlock, then at the plant again. His rage is very quickly replaced with confusion. "... What we do?" he asks, turning back to Grimlock.

Grimlock expects more excuses and more fighting!
Grimlock instead gets Angry Botanica.
He stumbles up, and looks at Slag, wandering over to where Botanica is, looming over her a fair bit.
"Me Grimlock no know what plant lady talking about! What 'garden'?"

"THIS GARDEN! The one you are currently trampling with your horseplay!" One set of hands point down at the plants beneath Grimlock's feet, the other tries to smack the Dinobot in as close to the chest as she can manage for emphasis as she continues her tirade.
"And I can't stay underground with the others for extended periods until I heal, so you are also destroying my quarters!" she snaps. "Look down, you oaf, down! Some of these are the last of their kind, thanks to Pee-Dee and weak ones at that! And look what you've done!"
Botancia is so angry, she's practically trembling. And though she's does not deliberately manipulate the green as her alternate did, thorny growths are springing up around her, and the Dinobots, the earth and plants responding to her anger.

Slag continues blinking at the unfolding situation, and looks at the ground. However, he either doesn't notice or care about the thorny growths, and instead turns back to Botanica.
"Them just plants" he grumbles, folding his arms over his chest. Brains were never this dinobot's strong point, and neither is knowing when he was going to make a situation potentially worse.

"Quarters...?" Grimlock looks around, and his shoulders slump a bit. "Uh-oh..."
"Um..."
For a few moments, Grimlock searches for a solution.
Wait, didn't this start with Slag getting mad over a question?
It did!
Grimlock quickly jabs a finger in Slag's direction! "Him did it!"

Botanica's attention and steely glare turn toward Slag. Oh no, he didn't!
"Just...plants? Just. Plants. You say."
She stalk-slithers over to Slag and plants (pun intended) herself directly in front of- and likely too close for comfort to- him. "I have heard every cry of pain and felt every death you two have caused in the last few minutes," she says, voice entirely too calm and icy, "I will have a headache for hours. It will take me days to repair the damage you have done."
"Now, raise your cretinous bulk into the air and plant yourself to the far side of that stone marker." She points at said marker for emphasis, then whirls back toward Grimlock. "You, too! And once you are out of my garden we will continue this....discussion."

Slag blinks at Botanica in his regular confusion of the situation. But then he instead turns to Grimlock, as soon as he is blamed.
"You Grimlock blaming me Slag for YOUR problem!" he roars back, pointing a finger at the dinobot commander. "Maybe...". Slag stops to think for a few seconds, trying to remember why they were here in the first place, before saying "Maybe you shouldn't have landed here after me punched you!"
With that, Slag folds his arms over his chest and looks at Grimlock with a look of arrogant superiority, obviously having trumped him in this battle of wits. He's also completely ignoring Botanica, his attention already drawn away from her.

Things seemed to be going well. Grimlock was calming down, so was Slag, and this all might have worked out nicely.
Then Slag totally does not take his blame well.
"What you mean, me should not have landed there?! How me Grimlock supposed to know it important place?! Plants all look same to me Grimlock, and you knock me there to start with!" Grimlock's rage returns, and with a swift movement, he steps over, grabs his Dinobot brother, and holds him overhead. "Let's see you land somewhere different!" he yells, throwing Slag off in the direction Botanica indicated.
...yeah, maybe halfway listening, if you're generous in your observations.

"Godsdamnit to hell in handbasket-" Botancia lets fly a very colorful array of curses at the Dino-brothers. " I don't give a platinum-plated damn whose fault it is, but by Matrix and Oracle, you two are going to reap what you have sown!"
Her first instinct really is to let fly the lightning, but the pain in her abdomen keeps her from doing something foolish in her fit of temper. Instead, she flings a data spike at each of the Dinobots. Maybe if they hit, she can get their attention.
Botanica can sling multiple spikes with one attack, as shown in Beast Machines ep, Spark War (part one, I think).

Slag would have responded to Grimlock, but instead he is picked up and thrown clear of the garden by the dinobot leader, landing with a very loud crunch and skidding a few feet.
And then, to worsen things, before he gets up, he is hit with a data spike by Botanica. Slag flails a bit after something hits him. "Why you shoot me Slag?!" he asks, flailing.
Attention gotten. Now Botanica just has to hope he doesn't become angry enough to do something stupid.

"Me Grimlock not know how to sew!" protests the Dinobot Commander, attempting to duck the data spike, but gets hit square in the head, causing him to stumble back, away from the garden and collapse on his butt.
"D'owww! What big idea?!"
