Z'verse 3. Dalla's garden. Search for Swindle

Blitzwing had never been this frantic before in his life.

Check that.. the Icy persona thought to himself as he appeared in what seemed to be a garden of some sort, I haven't been this frantic since I became a Decepticon. He refused to let either Hothead or Random out at this time, calming himself down. He was doing something, he couldn't be faulted for that.

But why the slag was he getting so worried about that fragging glitch-rat anyway?

Because it's my fault he was taken out of the Dream in the first place, Icy responded to the thought, unsure from which of the three of them it came from. If he hadn't dragged him out with him that one time, Swindle would probably be home, safe, not Spark-Knows-Where.

"Oil, usually, energon is preferred but rather rare," Blitzwing says, and stops. A moment, and Random has taken control, sniffing at the air.

"Ooooo, I smell energon! I swear it!" the black-faced persona said, looking around excitedly, then looked down. And gave a weird look. "The rocks...smell like energon?"

Icy is trying to get back in control, but it's no use, and he settles for pleading with Random NOT to go down on all fours to investigate...

Dalla looks too, then shifts her fosterling over to one arm as she crouches to pick up the blue stone. "This? Is this what you mean?"

In her hand it's clear that the rock is glowing very very faintly.

Random gives a confused look at the faintly glowing stone, but he sniffs at it, and his familiar grin spreads over his face. "Yes, that's energon! It's normally liquid, though..."

Icy finally took over, "Is that..natural?" He's quite sure those Cybertronian Sunrises are made that way, he's never seen energon occur naturally in solid form before.

Dalla sniffs it herself as she stands, one eyebrow quirking. "They're mined and sold for heating and cooking fuel. This one probably fell out of one of the bins when the rock man brought the order for the house."

"Mined," Icy said, amazed that energon could be dug out of the ground. He looked at the rock again, "May I examine it?"
