Juliana kept an eye on the ships, preparing for a fight.
GC came closer, and closer to the water. Then, at the last possible moment, he pulled up quickly, trying to toss them into the water.
He lined up a shot as best he could,and fired. Depending on which way nova was looking, he may, or may not have seen the glint of Laslow’s scope.
“So you do care about enemy fire…” He muttered to himself, the Ground Trooper wouldn’t be able to make out what he said as he was struggling against Scorchlock’s grip.
He then thrusted the blade into the Ground Trooper’s neck. “I would have asked you to seize fire. But it wouldn’t have been worth the effort.” He said.
The two turn to the window.
Alterion turns to plane mode and gets off a window, searching for the shooter.
She jumps to a side.
Spectrum glances out the window at Scorchlock. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3868, topic:49995”]
The rockets fly past Thrust, before turning around and zipping toward him from behind.
At the same time, Thunderblast deploys a subsonic repeater and opens fire upon her adversary.

Thrust quickly gets to his feet and transforms, flying at Thunderblast. He spins and narrowly dodges the fire, a few shots clipping his wing. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3868, topic:49995”]
Two Air Troopers are caught by surprise and are shot dead, their bodies falling to the floor. Three more, however, take cover as they deploy their photon rifles. Two of them poke out from behind their cover and fire at Vigor and Lightshift.

Lightshift and Vigor take cover as well, poking their heads out and firing at the two.
She would soon have one: three mercenaries and a Heavy Ground Trooper overwhelm a squad of Salvation crew members, forcing the survivors to retreat to her position.
The Ground Trooper thusly perishes.
The Chem-Trooper, now free to attack, fires another glob of slime at Scorchlock.
The shot had come from the cliffs on the other side of Salvation. Of its perpetrator, there was no sign as of yet.
Thunderblast ducks down to avoid being hit by Thrust.
One of the Air Troopers is hit in the shoulder and falls back behind cover. The other ducks down and escapes injury.
Shockwave also scrambles to safety.
Nova prepares another attack, but Laslow’s shot takes a fair-sized chunk out of his temble. The aim of his cannons is thrown off as they fire, their beams shooting off on random paths.
The Air Trooper attempts to pull up as well, skimming the surface of the water as they did so. As they try to gain more altitude, however, they lose control and tumble across the sea for a moment, before submerging.
Thrust transformed and landed behind Thunderblast, hoping the missiles followed him into his adversary. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3890, topic:49995”]

Lightshift unhooks a grenade from his belt and chucks it at the troopers.
He swooped there, trying to find the shooter.
She followed him. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3890, topic:49995”]

From her spot, Delta saw this and turned to Ursagryph mode.
“I can’t just stay here! Whish me luck!” She told Salvo before taking off, Blackbeak following her.
She reversed a little, and she opened up with her Gatling guns.
Laslow tries to line up another shot, he needed to try and completely blast the Brain Module.
“Come on!” He calls to sprocket. “Before they surface!”
Now with the Ground Trooper out of the Scorchlock had more room to maneuver but he needed to get rid of that Chem Trooper which was standing in his way.
Scorchlock used the dead body of the Ground Trooper and threw it towards the fired glob of slime at it, while that was happening he was quickly running towards the Chem Trooper.
His hand reached out for his katana that was on his back and took it, it was his left one, the one which didn’t have the slime eat the metal away, when he got close towards the Chem Trooper he slashed with the katana at the Chem Trooper’s throat.
Epsilon sets himself by a ruined wall and fires at the troopers in his turret mode.
Zepar gets hit by the lasers but tries to bring down Nova in such a position that gives him better access to Nova’s chest and tries to claw at the armor in an attempt to reach his Spark and rip it out of him.
Another shot splits the night air, darting toward Alterion from the cliffs.
The Shockwave fires another shot from his cannon, it connects, and Nova Prime is engulfed in purple light as the reality-bending energies of the hyperflux cannon rip his body apart.
But something else happens, as well. A blue glow shines from Nova’s wounds, and the cyan fissures seen throughout Planet Omega’s environment suddenly flare brightly as Zepar, Wildsong, Shockwave, and Laslow find themselves teleported to various spots on the spaceport island.
@Toa_Vladin If Gronius was still with the Omega Key, he would be able to notice the blue conduits on its surface flashing for a moment.
Sprocket follows as fast as his helicopter mode would allow him to.
A Ground Trooper on the beach takes notice of Delta, and fires a burst from their rifle at her.
Salvo and the allied Decepticons charge out of the cave to do battle with the Heretics, with the quartermaster herself leading the attack. The enemies’ fire seems to bother her little as bullets and bolts of hard light impact her armor.
The mercenaries hide behind rubble as the bullets do little to dissuade the Heavy Trooper from advancing. The Heretic transforms into a cybertronian tank, and blasts at Juliana with an energy cannon, sending a crackling orb of plasma hurdling toward her.
With their free hand, the Chem-Trooper catches Scorchlock’s blade- their hand not cut in two thanks to the robust quality of the soldier’s armor. The sword does make a fairly deep cut, though, and the Chem-Trooper grunts from the ensuing pain.
The bot then swings at Scorchlock with the barrel of their slime cannon, aiming to bludgeon him.
An advancing squad of troopers is cut down by the fire.
“Gee, it sure is nice to see these guys again!” Facelift quips, his spirits now lifted somewhat. “I was running low on stock!”
“…Hey, try not to eviscerate all of them, will ya? I need something to salvage.”
Unfortunately, in ducking, Thunderblast had evaded the missiles, as well.
The two troopers dart out of cover, but one is destroyed in the ensuing explosion.
Laslow looked around in surprise, and dropped from a height to the ground.
“Ugh…” he said, and stood up. “Where the heck am I?” He asked no one in particular, looking around.
She reversed quickly, and threw her parking brake, sending her into drift, quickly sliding her out of the way.
Juliana quickly TF’d, and charged at the Heretic, drawing her blade, a battle cry escaping from her lips.
GC continued on his previous course towards the city.
Thrust growled and fired at the missiles. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3896, topic:49995”]

Vigor quickly aims his pistol and fires it.
Zepar roars in rage as he tries to get his bearings.
Epsilon keeps shooting heretical troopers, trying to stay focused.
Scorchlock yanks his katana away from the Chem Trooper’s hand with force before he wrapped his arm around the barrel of the slime cannon and locks it in position.
“Look up.” He flicked his thump before he smashed his head with his forehead piece towards the Chem Trooper’s head, in attempt to headbutt him very hard.
Alterion tries to dodge it, or at least to move to an angle where the shot hits his more resistent amor plating.
At the end of the day, air fighters like him should be strong enough to resiste regular bullets. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:3896, topic:49995”]

Song looks around to see where she is now.
He tries to investigate it.
OOC: why do you constantly use “their”?
IC: She dodges and lunges at the attacker.
Laslow was back on the spaceport island- specifically, he was near Spectrum in a ruined building.
The Heavy Trooper transforms to robot mode and deploys a large hammer from their right arm. The trooper responds with a battle cry of their own- a deep, gutteral roar.
Zepar had been teleported onto a beach, in a crater blasted into the sand by the earlier barrage. All around him, allied Decepticons, led by Salvo, fought against a force of Heretics charging up the shore from the water.
The Ground Trooper deploys and energy blade from their weapon, and braces for an attack.
Wildsong had been teleported atop Salvation, the roar of the Fleetcarrier’s reformed guns threatening to deafen her.
Alterion would not be able to entirely evade the shot.
OOC: I think you’re forgetting that this is a shot from a cybertronian sniper rifle- a weapon built by giant, superpowered robots to kill other giant, superpowered robots. It’s gonna do damage.
IC: [quote=“MichaelBT-7474, post:3900, topic:49995”]

[/quote]
The headbutt connects, and the Chem-Trooper staggers backward. If Scorchlock was still holding onto their weapon, however, they wouldn’t go very far.
Gronius would be able to discern nothing as to why the Omega Key was behaving the way it was.
Suddenly, eight beams of yellow energy shoot out from a clouds of ash nearby, obliterating the Heretics advancing on Epsilon’s position.
Facelift lowers his weapon.
“Oh, slag…” he sighs, knowing who carried out the attack.
The missiles explode, the resulting blast throwing Thunderblast back. The treacherous Heretic regains her bearings and charges at Thrust, drawing a dagger in her left hand.
Vigor deals a fatal blow to the Air Trooper.
Suddenly, Banzaitron leaps out of the flames beside Vigor, his blade at the ready, aiming to skewer his enemy.
Sprocket follows.
The Heretic fleet was trying in vain to break the shield erected around the island, but the ancient technology was proving resistant to Decepticon firepower.
“hey! who are you?” he asked Spectrum. (@meepinater
She runs towards him undaunted.
GC tries to close the distance.
She tries to attack him with her claws.
She sighs, turns to dragon mode and flies away and searches for the nearest front.
OOC: You did not specify that it was a giant sniper shot.
IC: He shrugged his shoulders and looked for a weapon that would deal with the sniper.
Scorchlock was in fact holding onto the barrel of the weapon and because of that the Chem Trooper didn’t stagger backwards much but it would have let it stunned for a few seconds.
In those few seconds, Scorchlock slightly tilted his right palm outwards and thrusted it towards the Chem Trooper’s chin where underneath that forearm a hidden blade would pop out and aim towards the neck, in attempt to stab the Chemp Trooper in the throat.
