Backbreaker halts his advance, lowering his shield as he pivots at the waist to bring the cannon on his right arm to bear. The gladiator clenches his fist, and the cannon emits a low BOOM as it fires a shot of sky-blue plasma at Wildsong.
Wildsong fully opened her wings and took off, flying above the shot.
Through the metal plating at the base of her neck a warm, orange-ish light could be seen quickly making its way to the head, as Song opened her mow and shot three fireballs at Backbreaker.
Backbreaker raises his shield to protect himself from the barrage, and the fireballs leave a trio of round, black scorch marks on its surface.
@MaxinePrimal The Autobot takes this moment to cast a quick glance around the arena, making note of what form the battlefield had taken for this fight.
Before he would prepare his next attack Wildsong would let herself fall on him, trying to dig all four claws into random spots of his body. She didn’t really cared where they would connect, as long as they would cause him pain and give her an advantage.
The arena had not taken any special form for this match.

Wildsong falls upon Backbreaker’s shield and knocks the Autobot onto the ground. Luckily for him, his shield would protect him from the worst of Wildsong’s attacks, though his legs were largely exposed.
Grunting, Backbreaker swings his sword up at Wildsong. His aim was imprecise; he meant to hack at his opponent’s left wing, but the blade was just as likely to merely strike her side, instead.
The wing is hit, and does a little whole in its flaps, one that however is not big enough to affect Wildsong’s flight.
Yet.
She grunts, before trying to raise Backbreaker in the air, by his legs, upside down.
Backbreaker was a heavy bot; Wildsong might not be able to lift him very high off the ground, if at all.
The gladiator cranes his neck downward to glare at Song, before raising his cannon and shooting a fireball at her chest.
OOC: I presume it isn’t a one shot killer, or as powerful as TLK Megatron’s cannon.
OOC:
Of course not. I never intended for the cannon to be anything like Megatron’s; and I doubt Maximus would let any of us carry a weapon that powerful. Still, Backbreaker’s shooting at Song from near-point-blank range, so make of that what you will.
IC: Oddball overhears the fight as he converses with Spotlight. He figures he’d ask about the match later, to see who won.
Song is hit, and falls from the sky, dropping Backbreaker in the same time, likely falling on top of the former Autobot.
“No!” yelled Gronius jumping off the bench like a dad angry that his team lost a match of football.
Backbreaker grunts again and pushes up on Wildsong with his shield, attempting to shove the Autobot off him.
She turns to her robot mode, the damaged parts switching on different parts of her body, tho still mainly remaining on her chest.
Backbreaker rolls over onto his feet, holding his sword in front of him as he waits for Wildsong to get back up as well. He wasn’t a complete barbarian, after all; he would fight fairly.
Giffin, who turned to his air drone mode while the other two were falling, pointed two small underwing guns at Backbreaker and started shooting at his head, more to distract his attention than anything.
“Slag!” Backbreaker swears, quickly dropping to evade Griffin’s fire, assuming his dragon mode again as he did so. A growl builds up in his throat before Backbreaker spits a column of fire at the minicon.
Giffin evades, as he continues shooting from the air.
The bullets ping as they strike Backbreaker’s armor, stinging the gladiator. Roaring, the dragon rushes forward and rears onto his hind legs, swiping at Griffin with his claws.
Giffin ascends above the height that Backbreaker could reach.
This whole distraction gave Song enough time to take her four daggers and lunge at Backbreaker, trying to throw him into the ground and to stab him multiple times in his chest and limbs.
Backbreaker lowers himself back on all fours just as Wildsong collides with him. Fortunately, his solid footing kept him form being knocked over, but he is still caught by surprise, grunting as her knives cut at his armor.
Backbreaker’s secondary heads hiss as their jaws snap open and each spew out a crackling jet of plasma at Wildsong.
