[Original RPG] The Edge of the Abyss: Wrecking the Store

Ramjet approached the base, his sensors registering Autobot life signs.

Oh, this is gonna be sweet!

He dove, strafing the encampment at random, totally unconcerned about damaging the Decepticon-owned equipment that the Autobots were pilfering.

Provided I get backup soon, anyway...

(OOC: Fun fun fun fun fun fun etc.)

The Predacons left Metrotitan with great sped. They didn't want to miss out on a fight that could be so damn fun. They arived ath the base just after Ramjet.

They didn't care who they were going to piss off, they just made a quick glance at who was an Autobot and who wasn't picked their targets and transformed.

"Predacon's, FIRE!!"

Ramjet's Strafing run ruined the Solar pannel that Skyfall had been working on, and he dropped it with out a second thought. He looked up to see the Seeker moving around for a second pass and opened up his comm:

"Aero Blade:
A few minutes is all we have, get the equipment stoed - I think the Decepticons just figured out we were here."

Noting that Artfire, Stepper and Dropshot had loaded the weapons after Roadbuster loaded the controler, he commed them:

"Roadbuster, Artfire, Stepper, Dropshot:
What ever it is you're doing, drop it and get to the Omega. Decepticons are incoming, and I think we may have to deal with Predaking!

"Jazz, This is Skyfall:
Hurry up, we have party crashers - I want out here in 5 minutes, no excuses.

"Astra:
Prepair for casualties, but continue loading, we don't have that much left to load.

"Countdown, Starlight, Nemesis and Ark:
Keep working - I want as much loaded as we can!"

Sixwing loaded the last piece that the Minicons had taken apart and then looked up, almost through the wall. He smiled and walked through it, heading for the Predicons......

"Sixwing, This is Skyfall:
I need you to....... Never mind - Just support Roadbuster and the rest."

Omega..... Missile launchers open - prep a heat seeking volly

Linked to the Omega Shuttle, Skyfall locked on to Ramjet and fired off 2 cluster missiles, that homed in on his heat signature and closed in.
***********************

Sixwing sensed it - Predicons, but not the ones he was used to. These were older..... But the start of it. He walked right through the wall and towards the five orange and black animals coming towards him. Their fire exploded all around him, but still the Micromaster Combiner was untouched (They weren't aiming at him). He pulled his missile launcher from sub-space and aimed at the lead Lion - Firing a volly of 3 H.E.A.P. missiles at him - laughing all the while.
***********************

Starlight looked up at Aero Blade:

"Battle is coming, I\We do not have much time - I\We are almost done!"

Countdown replied, "Understood Skyfall. Come on guys, lets get the lead out!" He quickly reached in the wall and pulled out more supplies. A particle accelerator, a circuit breaker, and other simliar items. He then ran out to the cargo bay, placing his findings inside and watching them disapeer into sub space.

"Hey, buddy, I just got patched up! No way are ya gonna blast more holes in me!"

Ramjet rolled and the cluster bombs flew past him before exploding and singing the backs of his wings. Flipping around in mid-air, he drew a bead on the Omega Shuttle, unleashing cluster bombs of his own against the large vessel, then peppering the air around it with laser blasts.

Like shootin' at the broad side of...Broadside, I guess...

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 6:33 am

Skyfall dodged the laser fire and felt the cluster bombs pepper the Omega Shuttle.

Damn, if he figures out that the shuttle is stuck on the ground until we're done - We're finished! I need to distract this guy.....

He lept into the air and transformed into his F-22 mode. Letting his sensors lock onto Ramjet, he flew strait at him - firing his blasters the whole time. At the last moment, he veered off and hit his afterburners - hoping the Decepticon would follow him

Razorclaw was lookign aroudn at the different Autobot's when he saw three missles firing towards him. He smiled and transformed to Lion mode quickly. He moved fast, because if he didn't he would be toast. HE saw the missles coming, he quickly changed back to robot mode, jumped and used his Energy sowrd and rifle to fire at the ground launching himself up as the missles flew underneath him. He opened up a secure comlink to this Predacon's.

"Divebomb! Headstrong! Destory those damn missles before they frag me. They look like H.E.A.P., model 3.12, ... quite impressive really. Now move your metal asses!"

************************

Tantrum, Headstrong and Rampage were firing around, when they saw Artfire, Stepper, Dropshot and Roadbuster make their way out. Headstrong left and stopped firing when he heard Razorclaw's message.

Tantrum: "Heh, more fun for us." Both Tantrum and Rampage made their way behind a wall that offered shelter as they continued to fire on the Autobot's.

*************************

"Roger Razorclaw"

Divebomb heard the message, but he decided to help Ramjet and fire off 3 missles into Omega Shuttle before he went.

Dropshot was already taking at the Omega shuttle and there wasn't much he could do. He could see Tantrum and Rampage firing on his position from the other side but they were too close for him to use his shoulder cannon. As he turn around to survey the situation, that's when he saw Divebomb fire off three missles at the shuttle. Dropshot didn't say a word. He just raised his cannon, aimed, fired on one of the oncoming missles and destroyed it. The other two were coming in too fast however, so he ran into the shutlle itself. He figured the armor plating on this ship was enough to provide decent cover.

He then radioed Artfire and Stepper. "Artfire, stay with Roadbuster and provide Stepper with cover fire. Stepper, get to the shuttle as fast as you can. We need to set up a some decent cover fire to give the others a chance to get back to the Omega Shuttle. Now let's move."

Sixwing watched at his missiles exploded at point blank range. He subspaced the launcher and looked at Razorclaw:

"Fine, we'll do this the fun way........."

He then reached out and attempted to grab the mechanical lion by the mane...

Ramjet felt Skyfall’s lasers hit his fuselage.

“Eh. That kinda stung a little...”

After launching another set of cluster bombs at the shuttle, the conehead pulled up and followed Skyfall.

“So you wanna play with the big boys? OK, but we play rough!”

To punctuate his words, he fired several laser bursts towards the Micromaster.

"Roger that" Astra quickly replied over her comm, then knelt on the floor of the shuttle and began unpacking the tools she'd selected.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 9:00 pm

Skyfall knew that he would need to keep pouring on the damage from his blasters to do anything more than irritate this guy. But that was not his intention - all he needed to do was buy the crew a few more minutes - and he was small enough and fast enough to make it with much damage.

He dodged the laser blasts, with small margins - blasts singeing one of his wings. He flew up and hit the breaks - when Ramjet flew underneath him, he transformed and attempted to grab on to the top of the Seeker:

"Hi Ugly!"

Roadbuster: -subspaces laser rifle, pulls grenade launcher, aims grenade launcher, linear blaster cannon, and shoulder mounted shrapnel cannon at Tantrum's hiding place, opens fire, sending bomblets, plasma grenades, and ion bolts at the Predacon's position-

Post by **Warcry** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 4:11 am

Had he been in robot mode, Ramjet would have grinned as he felt Skyfall land on him. Since that wasn't an option, the seeker had to come up with another course of action.

The Decepticon jet inverted and reversed his thrust, decelerating harshly. Ramjet had never been one for science, but he knew enough physics to know that there was no way the Micromaster could keep a grip on him.

"Bye, runt."

Ramjet fired his lasers blindly forward, fully expecting his uninvited Autobot passenger to fly right into his field of fire.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 7:57 am

Skyfall felt the Decepticon Seeker decelerate as he tried to grab on - there was no way to keep his grip on the metal of the Decepticon's fusilage. He flipped over his head and over the Decepticon's nose cone. Instinctively, he hit his thrusters and dove down under the Decepticon, missing the laser blasts.

The problem was - he was too close to the ground with no way to pull up. He transformed into jet mode and belly skidded into the ground. He transformed on his back when he stopped and looked up at Ramjet:

"Well, that didn't work - Maybe this will"

Omega, fire another volley!!!!

From the Omega Shuttle another 4 cluster missiles launched and headed towards the slowed down Ramjet.

As they approched, each split into four (16 total) and locked on to the Seeker........

Razorclaw saw Sixwing coming. He opened up a silent comlink to his predacons. He sat their firing constantly as he Sixwing charged. At the last minute he transformed to Lion mode and jumped out of the way. Divebomb flew over the top of him, picked him up and followed Headstrong to Tantrum and Rampage.

Divebomb dropped him off near another wall and gave his two Predacons cover fire as they dodged fire from Roadbuster the other 'bots. Headstrong made his way over.

"Alright ... " Razorclaw had to catch his breath. "Our main problem is that damn sixwing."

Tantrum: "Predaking?"

Razorclaw: "No ... not yet. Divebomb and Rampage will give air support wiht Ramjet, use your swords ladies, this ain't gonna be no Icecream social. Tantrum, Headstrong, your with me. We take out that damn Sixwing. When look like the energon hits the fan, meet back over their *points* and form Predaking. Got it? MOVE OUT!!"

Rampage flew up into the air in robot mode and joined Divebomb while he was in hawk mode. thye watched as Razorclaw, Headstrong and Tantrum went back over to Sixwing.

Ramjet was more than a little amused by the little Autobot's crash, but he didn't have much time to gloat as the shuttle fired on him again. Rolling so that his cockpit faced the sky again, he pointed his nose towards the oncoming missiles...and fired a pair of his own to meet them. The whole barrage disappeared in a cloud of flame, which Ramjet flew straight through.

Coming out the other side, Ramjet was now charred black over most of his airframe, but his flight performance didn't seem to be impared too badly. However, he hurt like hell; a lesser Decepticon would have fallen from the sky shrieking in agony, but Ramjet just chuckled.

Shuttle boy wants ta get in on the action, eh? Well, he's gonna find out why I'm named Ramjet, then...

Dropping out of the air, the now mostly-black jet pointed his nose straight for the Omega Shuttle, kicked his throttle up to full, and accelerated into a full-on ramming maneuver.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 6:36 am

Skyfall watched as Ramjet headed towards the Omega Shuttle - He knew that it was based of an old Omega Sentinal and that it was pretty heavly armoured - but he doubted it would be able to fly or fight after the Decepticon hit it.

He kicked in his thrusters and rose into the air, feeling his rear tail fins bend and twist in a way that would stop him from transforming. He extended his arms and tried to hit Ramjet and push him up from the shuttle. At the same time he screamed into his comm:

"Roadbuster, Artfire, Stepper, Dropshot We need cover fire out here NOW!!!![/B]"
***************************

Sixwing laughed as the vaunted Predicons of this time ran in fear from him. He unslung his missile launcher again, and held it in one hand, and in the other hand he held his Ion Rifle.

As the three Preds came at him, he aimed and fired his seeker missiles and Ion Bolts at them, laughing maniacly the whole time....

Ramjet snarled as Skyfall collided with his right wing, altering his trajectory. Instead of hitting the shuttle amidships and tearing a hole the size of a small house through it, the seeker's nosecone scraped across the hull, ripping off a swath of armour plates and surface features. Serious damage, to be sure, but not even remotely debilitating.

For his part, Ramjet spiralled for a few seconds before transforming and landing on the ground. Any other Decepticon would have been badly damaged by such a collision, but Ramjet's airframe had been designed to survive much worse. After taking a few moments to reorient himself, he'd be back in the air.

And on the up-side, he wasn't covered in black soot from the missile explosions anymore.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 7:35 am

Skyfall's systems were screaming at him. Ramjet managed to not only do some serious damage to the hull and armour plating, but he took out the portside missile launchers and sensor systems. The pain coursing through Skyfall was unlike anything he had felt before. His back was damaged and the collision with the dense Decepticon had caused some problems internally. This guy was bloody tough, and Skyfall hadn't been prepaired for this much of an assault: He opened his comm to the Autobot's gathered:

"Grab what you can - we are leaving - NOW! Jazz You have 1 minute to get back to the Omega - No jokes - Don't make me send Sixwing to get you! Everyone else - get in there now!"

Skyfall's optics began to go fuzzy and dim: But somewhere deep inside a voice called:

There are those still to protect. We cannot stop - We will resist and defend with everything that we are. Now We get up and fight

Skyfall's optics flashed and the little micromaster stood - sand and mech fluid dripped off of him and he looked at Ramjet:

"You will not harm my friends as long as my spark still beats!"

He raised his arms and fired at the Seeker, pouring everything he had into his blasters - all the while taking steps towards the Decepticon......
