A wrist blade quickly came out as he slashed at Wraith and kicked him away. Dropping down, Shadow quickly came down as he looked upon Wraith. Judging by his actions, he can faze through walls in a shadowy form. And he's able to drain energy, similar to how he was able to during his undergrid time. Shadow took out deathcalibur as entered dual wield mode as he approached the battle. Never getting a break and he was near the end of the tunnel.
"Identify yourself?"
Preparing himself for a counterattack, Shadow assumes swordsmanship stance as he waits for Wraith to attack.
~~~
Hordes of scraplets continue to come attack Whysp as their screeching calls upon more of their kind. The corrupted scraplets tell the others that whysp is a tasty bot. Their tactic will be to overwhelm her and the shadow guards.

Wraith quickly regains his balance mid-air, with no visible wound from the blade.* "Good you're awake." A red glowing slither of a smile spreads across his face. "I like my prey to put up a fight!" He laughs evilly, the laugh echoing off the walls. He drops to the ground out of the bot's attack range, not that it mattered, down here he could move faster than any living thing.
"My prey doesn't need to know who I am..." Once again he melds into the shadows. His voice echoes around the tunnel making him hard to locate. "Put down that sword now and maybe I won't kill you once I'm done feeding on your energy." Wraith still hidden, swiftly and silently moves behind him...
Thankfully this wasn't the first time Whysp had to fight off scraplets even the numbers here would have some difficulty reaching her.
The shadows fire explosive balls of shadow, taking out a good chunk of their numbers with each shot. The only scraplets that don't seem to be so badly damaged by the explosions were the ones which seem to have a slight purple glow.
Whysp begins to target those scraplets with her pistol, it was usually enough to kill a scraplet in one shot, these ones however appear to take several shots to kill...
((*The wound is there but the shadows cover it making him look like he's indestructible, a nice little trick for intimidating his opponents.))

So he's using the dark to cover his surroundings, what a coward way to fight. For a cybertronian that talks so big like he all powerful, he should back that up with his fighting skills. At the end of a tunnel was nearby pothole, for someone using the undergrid to fight, he had a clear advantage. He'll need to get him outside. Activating his thrusters, Shadow burst through tunnel as he heads towards the exit. Using his knowledge of being in the undergrid for so long, the exit was close to being nearby.
~~
As Whysp destroy some of the corrupted scraplets, dark energon leaks from the dead bodies move to another scraplet to corrupt them. More numbers continue to grow as eventually she'll be overwhelmed. Some attacking from the ground while others attacking from the air.

"Trying to run? PATHETIC! I thought you had more fight in you than that!" Wraith in a sudden burst of speed catches up to him and leaps onto the bot's back this time using his ghostly powers to put his hand through the bot's armor and partially into his back. "Don't you get it? You can't run from me down here, this is my kingdom!" He drains as much energy as he can in the contact, upon the release he grabs a few internal wires and pulls them out almost through the armor.
Allowing himself to fall backwards from the bot's back he lands on his feet drawing his sword in the process. "Even though I'm starving, I'm done trying to drain you..."
Whysp's shadows were still holding back the scraplets destroying hundreds of the creatures with each explosion.
They don't seem to like the taste of the shadows, only taking out small chunks and spitting them out.
"Hmm, interesting... They can't stand the taste of the shadow..." She cut open her hand letting some of the dark fluid leak out and rubbed it over her hands, face and everywhere that wasn't covered by her shadowy armor. "I don't taste nice little scraplets... Just you see." She smiles as one of them slips past her guards. She lets it taste her blood covered hand.
The creature looked disgusted.
"Not very nice is it?" She smiles looking directly at the creature.
The scraplet tries to chew her armor to the same effect.
"No food here scraplet..." She is going to slap Wraith when she finds him again... She smears the scraplet in the shadowy substance and flicks it back into the swarm, where hopefully it would share what it found with the rest...

The following attack by Wraith put Shadow in annoyance. Dropping down on one knee, he felt a few wires had been almost pulled out his body. He looked at Wraith who was cocky as ever and he had every right to be. He had never experienced this sort of opponent which was new to him. Shadow wrapped around the time he had to do to get out of this mess. Attack Wraith then attack the ceiling to escape. Calculating on the time, it would take him a few nanocycles to counterattack with his shadow thingy. Shadow began charging his cannon.
"I'll satisfy you next time."
Shadow quickly sent a shockwave from his sword at Wraith as he fired his cannon up to the ceiling. The blast created an opening enough for him to reach the surface. Firing his thrusters, he flew up into the air to reach the surface.
~~
The corrupted scarplets continued racing towards whysp as they won't stop until its prey is consumed. The rest continue to follow in an attempt that she'll continue wasting her energon supply then be empty by the time their done.

Wraith jumps avoiding the shock wave, instead getting hit by the collapsing ceiling. A little dazed by the rubble hitting his head, he phases through the rubble freeing himself but without a clear head is unable to take flight after the bot. Scowling he looks up at the hole in the roof. The bot was already out of sight. "Next time I won't let him know I'm there..."
He flies off towards where he left Whysp, slamming on the air brakes noticing the huge swarm of scraplets.
The swarm doesn't appear to notice him.
"Woah... That's a lot of scraplets..." Watching the swarm he can just about make out the brief number reduction as the shadows destroy them. "WHYSP!" He had to move fast. He transforms and speeds into the swarm spinning himself round as much as the space would allow in an attempt to burn up the creatures.
"WRAITH!" She fires her pistol faster at the purple scraplets.
It looks like every scraplet in the entire undergrid has come...
"Keep back Whysp! I'm gunna burn them all up!"
Wraith would continue to burn up the creatures until either he runs out of power or there are no more which ever comes first...

The corrupted scraplets eyes began to glow as they retreated away from Whysp and Wraith while the others continued to go after them. Leaving through the hordes, they appear to leave behind their attempt in eating them. Unfortunately, the scraplets that are not corrupted, continued to attack even if they are destroyed one by one.

With the corrupt scraplets gone Wraith burns up the remaining creatures.
Whysp lost one of her shadows. The pain made her almost drop the pistol. The last two shadows respond by increasing their attack speed, only stopping when Wraith lands in robot mode squashing the last few under his feet.
Whysp waves her hand making the two remaining shadows vanish. She falls to the floor exhausted.
"Wow... Well that put massive crater in the scraplet population." He sits on the floor next to her, gently placing his hand on her back. He can sense that she is still conscious.
Slowly moving herself into an sitting position she turns to face him.
He keeps his hand on her back and attempts to pull her closer to him.
She resists his tugging at her. "Why didn't you tell me scraplets don't like the taste of shadows?"
"Because I hoped you would never have to defend yourself from them." He kisses her cheek then lifts her off the ground in his arms. "We'll head towards Kaon for now shall we?"
"Why?" She put her arms around his body, leaning her head on his chest.
"Should be safer for recovery. We aren't going above ground. Never above ground."
"Of course not." She smiles falling asleep.
Wraith doesn't stop walking for even a moment, carrying Whysp the whole way there.
