Qilby's tone certainly gave him an impressive presence, but there were few things that truly intimidated Barricade. They started with Megatron and ended with Optimus Prime, both of which had the bite to back up their bark. It wasn't to say his words had no affect on Barricade, as they managed to wind him up even more and make him so tense he was practically vibrating with rage.
That brief moment of solidarity they'd shared after the Madness Wavelength hit was completely gone now, and Barricade stood up to his full height, claws flexing. His teeth rattled as he snarled, the sound reverberating down the passage after Qilby's voice.
"There was no reason for it then, you useless meat bag," he snapped, leaning over the Meister and taking one heavy step forward. Lifting one hand, he scraped his sharp fingers together to make sparks. "And you trust me now, or you don't - pick the second option and I'll take you back out of here in little pieces."
A few hundred yards away and around the blind corner of the passage, something stirred. The sound attracted it first, but now there was the scent of two souls. Not very powerful souls, unfortunately, but a meal was a meal.
