Astrotrain
Two Stroke looked puzzled
"I was in there for heisting a bank what's that got to do with you?"
There was movement towards the back of Astrotrain's cabin
Gnarl stepped out if the shadows
"I tink he's confused you for me."
In Hot Pursuit
Reheat checked his fuel reserves. They were getting low.
He fired a salvo of four missiles towards the fleeing Astrotrain hoping to score a hit before having to break off pursuit.

Astrotrain
Shrapnel looked out of the windows. An Autobot is chasing them, but with Astrotrain's superior speed, he won't be able to catch up.
"Now that we've got time to talk, what happened in my absence?" Bombshell said.
"Not much, much. We mounted a rescue mission on Altihex, Altihex."
Bombshell rolled his eyes. "Other than that?"
"I joined Darkmount and Megatron's forces, if you haven't noticed, noticed." Shrapnel said.

Armory
The shots from Groundbreaker's rifle tore into Submarauder's chest. Unable to continue his advance, he fell to the ground, severely damaged.
Iguanus immediately knew he was no match for Sky High. Complying with the Autobot's demands, he placed his hands on his head. "You win...for now," hissed Iguanus.
Warehouse District
Flattop didn't feel right about leaving Skyhopper behind, but didn't have to worry because of the rescue by Lazerbeak. Following Skystalker's lead, he took up an escort position next to Astrotrain.
Gunrunner turned around and head back toward the prison. We beat them back...but at what cost?
Onboard Astrotrain
Skyhopper was dropped to the floor, still in stasis lock. He would not be happy to learn his helicopter had been left behind.

Arcee, Solitary
Arcee was glad she was still in vehicle mode, because she had a hard time keeping a straight face when Ironfist cast her as the "bad cop" in their "good cop/bad cop" routine. I'm the intimidating one? she thought.
Smite definitely surprised her when he claimed to want to help Breakdown. Didn't see that coming. To be fair, Breakdown certainly looked like he needed help, what with being blinded, in a fetal position, and in the grips of a possible panic attack.
"So you won't mind if we take this poor little Decepticon off your hands, get him fixed up, and put you back in lockdown?" she asked Smite, still skeptical.

Solitary
Smite nodded slowly
"Does fixing up include a qualified psychiatrist and please look after this other poor soul."
He indicated Kingbolt
"I would like to prey by his bedside while he recovers but I am willing to except restraints and return to my cell afterwards because I must repent for my sins and have not yet finished."

Arcee, Solitary
Arcee transformed back to robot form, nodding slowly. "Maybe," she replied to Smite. "I mean, most of the Decepticons I've met -- okay, all of them -- seem to need therapy, so ... we'll look into it."
She was still wary of Smite, but a sound off in the distance, from a nearby corridor, caught her attention. "Uh, does anyone else hear laughter? And tank treads?"
"Alert," the computer informed her over the commlink. "Cybertronian lifeform detected in vicinity of prison's exit. Designation: Conflagration. Allegiance: Civilian; insurgent. Status: Active; approaching prison exit."
"Wonderful," Arcee muttered.

Astrotrain
"You scum are all the same to me, with your ignorant slang and stupid accents," Boomstick snapped, barely even talking to the other thugs. "Well, when Black Shadow crushes all of you and takes complete control of the underworld, idiots like you won't get the chance to-"
The criminal's rant cut short when Soundwave clobbered the base of his neck with the butt of his concussion rifle.
"I said silence," the communications officer said curtly.

Astrotrain's ion cannon swung around to fire on Reheat's missiles, trying to disable their guidance systems before they got close enough to do any damage.

Prison
Still loitering by the main gates, Downshift turned a corner and almost tripped over Conflagration, who had seemingly destroyed the prison's entire waiting room and most of its' admin wing on his way out. The Omnibot didn't even have the energy left to get angry.
"Am I going to have to shoot you," he asked, "or will you go back to your cell?"

CR Chambers
Wing Saber had agreed with Arcee's observation, and as others headed off to other areas of the prison, Wing Saber remained in the cr chamber room, letting his large size take up the entrance, insuring that nothing would be able to sneak by him.
Inside the room, Hound had decided to hang around, to help monitor the CR chambers in the event something would happen. He stopped briefly by Clampdown and Overload's chambers, concerned for the two incapacitated Autobots. "You two just take it easy and get better," He said aloud, to himself mostly.
