Machine Wars - Escape from Cybertron

Figuring that these guys may have a clue for him, Forager quietly climbs higher.

The jetformer then lunged at him.

In the end, he would arrive in an almost identical level, the only exception being the presence of a hallway.
Forager could hear the voices coming from there.

Now that he was closer, Forager listens to see if he can understand the voices.

“Five minutes ago.” a cold, mechanic voice said from the distance.

Forager keeps listening.

It would still be too far away to hear everything. Forager would only hear when somebody was talking louder and, to his luck, the person he heard was pretty high-pitched.
“Darkwing and his crew should be back soon.” the same cold voice said.

Darkwing… Forager thinks. That name sounded familiar. And not in a pleasant way.

The rodent tries to recall anything about this “Darkwing” that may have been common knowledge.

He might remember an old Decepticon general of the Headmaster portion of the pre-modern Cybertronian history, a brute, but an exceptional tactician.
Depending of Forager’s education, he might also know that his status was lost in history. Whether or not he died or not is unclear.

Forager hadn’t been burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so he didn’t know that last part. Still, he knew enough to get the sense that Darkwing’s presence was bad news.

He creeps closer and listens on. He needed to find a clue as to where Backstop was…

“Octane reported the presence of a snake, a rhino, and a bot similar to a Seeker.” the voice said.

Scaleraker ducked and rolled away again. “HALFSHELL! Pull out!” He screamed, an edge of desperation in his voice.

The jet kept attacking.
The Seacons formed God Neptune. The legless Combiner was big enough to act like a locker for the coming hostile forces, so the ones under him (aka Scaleraker and Demolishor) would be protected.
Starscream’s laugh could be heard from above, as the last drones were entering the prison.

OO: is the old man, (his name escapes me) nearby?

OOC: Coelagon?

Yes, he forms the other leg right?

OOC: Yes.

OOC: yes, he is nearby, or just he forms the other leg?

OOC: Second.

OOC: And the first?

OOC: What?
