She tries to fly higher than they could shoot, thinking of a new strategy.
Alterion took a deep breath, quickly said a prayer that he knew in Old Cybertronian, before suddenly turning and lunging to the trooper, trying to slice at him before the trooper could attack.
“Fine. Stay here and rotten like the Robot-rats.” he said, before turning to the guard. “Now, do we have enough personnel to at least defend the towers?”
Delta and Blackbeak headed towards the main tower, expecting Salvo and the gang to follow them.
“Scrap! Then what do I even control here?” he asked aloud as he tried to find the answer to the question.
The helicopter continues its attack as Juliana runs, the gun’s bullets sending up clouds of dust and dirt as they hit the ground around her.
The Ground Trooper is decapitated, their body hitting the ground shortly after their head.
The Chem-Trooper fires another blast of slime at Scorchlock.
Eventually, Wildsong would be able to escape the range of the Trooper’s rifles.
The Heavy Trooper bats Alterion’s sword away with their hammer. The sword’s plasma sheath leaves a black spot on the hammer’s head, though the trooper didn’t seem too bothered by it.
Alas, there weren’t enough of the new converts to successfully defend the entire spaceport by themselves.
Salvo and a few Decepticons do indeed follow them… and run into Nova just as the disgraced Prime finishes annihilating a squadron with his cannons.
“Oh, hello there!” he jovially greets the new arrivals, turning around. “Can you point me in the direction of a bot named Bludgeon? I hear he’s the one behind this whole situation we’re in.”
Salvo and the Decepticons stop; this bot was unfamiliar to them- and likely to Delta as well, though he might look a bit familiar.
It seemed that there was little else for Gronius to do in this room. The spaceport’s defenses had been activated, and the Omega Key seemed to have control of the rest.
The Ground Troopers keep firing, aiming to disable Gatecrasher’s turret. Sprocket gets lucky and shoots one in the chest, killing the bot instantly.
A cannon on the shuttle also shoots at Gatecrasher
With the Ground Trooper dead he could concentrate himself on the Chem Trooper who fired a blast of slime.
Scorchlock learned the dangers in attempting to deflect the slime with his katana so he rolled out of the way before returning on his knee and fired with his blaster towards the Chem Trooper’s chest.
The shot inflicts little damage upon the Chem-trooper, who transforms and fires another shot while backing away, their slime cannon now sitting atop the turret of a tank-like cybertronian vehicle.
She makes it behind the wall and slides to the ground.
She breathes heavily for a few seconds, before tuning the corner and letting rip with her gatling guns.

The blasts would glance off the his glacis and cannon shroud plate with little more than scorch marks for their trouble, as he rolled towards them.
The cannon however, was a greater threat, the shell barely missed rear tread, putting a sizable hole nearby. GC pushed his engine to the limit, clearly trying to run down the Ground troopers.
Thrust speeds up after the rest of the ships, firing at their engines once again. [quote=“Chromeharpoon, post:4003, topic:49995”]
The Air Trooper is slain, but more Heretics were beginning to enter the hangar.

“We should get out of here!” Lightshift whispered to Vigor.
“Ya think?” his brother replied gruffly.
The two transformed and took off out of the hangar, although Vigor was significantly slower than Lightshift due to his injury.
Scorchlock transformed into his alt-mode and drove out of the way in a drifting motion, getting out of the range of the slime that had been shot by the Chem Trooper.
“Only three grenades left…” He muttered to himself as he drove towards the Decepticon. When he got close towards the tank Scorchlock transformed and through a flip he glided above the tank.
One could blink and miss when Scorchlock placed a grenade on top of the tank as he landed on the ground, kneeling down. He took his detonator. “Boom…” He said as he detonated the grenade with a massive explosion.
He swipes to a side, but to his despair, he accidentally gets right under his hammer. He tries to free himself, by concentrating all of his strenght in a punch in the Decepticon’s face.
Once outside, Redstocker looks for the nearest front.
Scorchlock exhaled in relief as he slowly stood up on his feet before looking around. “You’re safe to come down…for now.” He said to Song, through a comlink. (@Toa_Vladin)
Scorchlock looked at her, after a few moments he noticed she was injured. “Y’know, if you want…” He started as he walked to her. “I can help you out with that wounded arm.” He pointed at his medical kit on his belt.
“Hold your arm still.” He mentioned before taking his medical kit and shortly after began repairing her arm, patching it up right before she knew it he was done. “There…” He said.
It was, in fact, not safe. Two more Ground Troopers remained alive, and shot at the two.
The Heavy Trooper staggers backward.
Nearby, Redstocker could see Thrust shooting down a Heretic shuttle, Alterion, Gronius, and Wildsong engaged in battle, and Delta conversing with a giant, white-armored bot with a pair of black metal wings.
“I reckon you should; I’m something of a noteworthy figure,” Nova rambles. “But you’d be forgiven for not recognizing me, dear; I’m not exactly the same as I once was.”
“You gonna start making sense?” Salvo deadpans. “Experience has given me the inclination to shoot heavily-armed bots talking nonsense.”
