“Well you see, I was planning on training, but you two have busted the place. We’re not supposed to be fighting you know that. Not against each other, furthermore, the new guy regardless of what he did or said shouldn’t be attacked on spot, sakes alive,” she said with a sigh.
“What the?! New guy? Lady, read the room! He’s trying to kill me!”
Maximus shouted, completely bewildered by what Spirit was saying.
“And you him, just get out of the way,” she said with a sigh, “Seriously, what say you stranger?”
Once Simulus is standing again and Maximus is going into his roll, he leaps to his right, anticipating some retaliation. He manages to avoid that first shot when Maximus comes out of the roll as a result and keeps running to the right in attempts to avoid other shots. Though to more actively protect himself, he fires his rifle towards Maximus’s cannon. Attempting to stop the blasts from reach him by shooting them with his own bullets.
All the while Overclock on the inside continues working on getting the systems back up. For now, Simulus says nothing in response to Spirit and appears to not acknowledge her. Perhaps, much like the training simulation would do.
RAM only sort of noticed her at first when Spirit started speaking, focusing on Maximus. However, when she starts coming towards him, he scuttles away towards his master.
Busdrive honks in annoyance, reloads, and fires a set of missiles at Spirit to stop her.
She leapt back with a gasp and swiftly fired off a precise shot to hit one of the missiles and cause it to prematurely explode in the air, hopefully taking out the rest of the missiles as well.
She yelled out with a hint of a mechanical growl, “Oi, cut that scrap you hear?” Her head directed towards the bus, “I’m not shooting at you lot, but don’t tempt me!” Her head whipped back towards Simulus, “and you’re not off the hook either!”
Seeing as the rock buster cannon was a laser weapon, conventional bullets would be ineffective in stopping the blasts. Maximus continues to fire, leading his shots just ahead of where Simulus was running to better his chances of actually hitting his target.
OOC: I don’t see how he’d be able to get the whole system working again, seeing as Maximus destroyed all the hard light projectors.
“Sweet Primus how are you so dense?”
Maximus said as he continued to fire
“Either help me take this guy down or get out!”
“Oh for sake’s alive! What did he do to rearrange your tires?” She growled out, “You’re the one attacking him!”
“He’s a threat!”
Nebula shouted.
“Too dangerous to be kept alive!”
Spirit yelled back, “Why? What made you decide that?”
Simulus takes a partial blast, grazing into his armor, though it seems he is tougher than he looks. He starts jumping around to help evade other shots and make him harder to hit. While this does ruin his own aim, it just means to take more general shots towards Maximus.
Though since RAM thinks he’s save from Spirit for the moment, he fires a couple missiles at Maximus’s gun-arm in hopes to throw it off aim.
Busdrive stops temporarily, his headlights beaming into Spirit with a vicious glare. He reloads and at least keeps aim on her if she tries anything. Simulus remains silent.
She sighed, “Good con…now just…stop firing those blasted things,” her visor seems to block out some of that glare as she moves towards RAM again, “Now if you would be so kind as to not blow scrap off me that would be delightful, you two can’t be loosing off missiles in here. You’ll alert the guards, and that wouldn’t be good at all now would it? You two little guys would get nabbed,” she sighed shaking her head, “Now I’m sure you two are just nice honest bots right?” Her voice was lowered as she moved, “Seriously shoot me and I will fire back,” she sighed holding her rifle to where the next round would be fired, but not at the bus.
Since Nebula’s purpose was a shield as well as a gun, it did little damage. However the force did throw off his aim somewhat.
With gunfire clearly not cutting it, Maximus ran forward at Simulus and attempted to punch him in either the gut or face, hoping to knock him down and throw him off his rhythm.
“They’re really not.”
Nebula shouted as soon as Spirit said this.
“I’ve delt with them before! They’re honestly the most underhanded minicons I’ve ever met!”
“Well I can’t just shoot them! Goodness, that’d be just flat out intolerable behavior!” She said with a grumpy sigh, “Although…I do not like having barrages of missiles being shot at me…”
Maximus manages to charge in time while Simulus was on the ground. Unable to get positioned quite right, the best Simulus could currently do is put his arms up in a defensive cross formation for whatever comes next.
RAM baaed in rebellion and went to run away again, preventing him from shooting at Maximus for the moment. Neither of the Data Discs were entirely sure what to do in the situation, this was not the plan.
Spirit would have given a small smile at this. This did amuse her, just a little. The little ram disc at least. She sighed and un-clicked her feet to set back to roller blade like designs, “Now listen here you two…I’m going to pick you both up, then we’re going to wait for those two to listen to what I’m telling them to do eh?” She then sped off skating around and trying to grab up Ram by the stomach, “Hey there little guy.”
The hit came in fast and it came in hard. The young pirate was done playing around, and was going all out.
His crossed arms are slammed into his chest, even pushing them into it some before being blasted into the wall behind him. Simulus bounces off the wall and cannot remove his arms from his chest quick enough to catch himself, inspecting the floor with his face as a result. Moving his arms out, he starts to get up.

They may not be able to actually do anything, but the guise would be good enough. As before, two additional Simulus appear next to him, though they’re readying swords this time.
When Spirit says she’s going to pick them up, Busdrive fires his missiles at her again. RAM skids around from his frantic run and also fires missiles at her.
Spirit turns to see Busdrive’s missiles coming at her, and then looks down at RAM’s missiles and sees that she’s right in the middle. She tosses a small dagger at RAM’s missile and detonates it, letting the other hit in her in the kneecap. She gives a small grunt of pain as it impacts and then tackles RAM with her velocity. Spirit rolls over him, as not to crush him and grabs his underbelly, rolling over and using her gun to fire off a shot at Busdrive’s missiles again…which of course impact a little too close to comfort and send some shrapnel into her, although RAM is fine, she makes sure her arm covers him from taking any flak.
She coughs, “Scrap…stop…shooting me!” Her grip on RAM is now firm pointing his missile pods away from her gut.
Maximus ignored the holographic enemies and went right for the real Simulus. He pulled out his hammer and swung it down on Simulus’ head as hard as he could.
After Maximus executed his attack on Simulus, whether it was successful or not, he managed to see what was happening to Spirit out in his peripheral vision.
“For Primus sake! Defend yourself! Weren’t you in a war?”
He shouted.
She coughed, “I’m larger then these guys! I can’t just flatten them!”
