A few miles away from the fight, the great Decepticon Warship loomed in the atmosphere, still armed and ready for warfare but cloaked from concealment incase the Autobot ship was nearby. Aboard the ship, all the officers had returned to their duty stations on the bridge.
"Well?", asked Starscream.
The three seekers stood before their new master, looking at each other ans shaking their heads, before one finally spoke up. "The chamber is complete Lord Starscream!", replied Thrust, "We've no way of testing it, not without a piece of the all spark! If only you'd saved some my Lord, we could test it properly! Perhaps if you would just share a piece with the rest of..."
Starscream almost jumped out his seat and jutted his arm out at the seeker as electro bolts shot out from his fingers and across the room at Thrust's chest sending the seeker flying back as a thick plumage of black smoke rose from his chest.
"Is that enough of a demonstration?", sneered the seeker, "Anyone else have an opinion? No? Soundwave, try contacting our agent again. And clear that off my bridge!"
As Dirge and Ramjet dragged Thrust off, the latter murmured, "I guess now isn't the time to tell him we never actually executed the human?.."

Rythmius leaped forward and calttered to the ground noisily as bullet fire jsut wizzed past, rippling over top of him. Exhauling silently with relief he rolled over onto his back and sat up. Salvador had been knocked loose from his legs and Mars was groaning to his knees, hand at his head. no more for that little guitar for now. Frowning, he popped both fingers in his mouth and whistled. That was Salvador's que. With a little note in surprise, the little Tenor Sax leapt across the small stretch of pavement, transforming mid flight and landing in Rythmius' hands. Standing up, the musitian amplified Salvador's sound and blew strong notes into waves. Shipwreck was having almost as much dificulty with the waves as the others. the problem was that he was hitting them broadside in order to keep the humans from getting blasted. If there were no humans, Shipwreck would have been 10 feet under by now. With a frown, he winces at the sound waves, glad for the anchor support and answered. ++Comm++ "Aye this be Shipwreck? Speed Trap I read you loud and clear, what can I do for you?"++END COMM++ Speed Trap was feeling the soundwaves again. ~This has to end... soon...~ he thought *reply from shipwreck* +COM+ "Shipwreck... thank Primus my tranciever *scritch* still working... anyway... Tanda and I are pinned down by... well, intense soundwaves... we need some backup... *scritch*. Over." he said, hearing some feedback as he was speaking. +COM+

Shipwreck frowned.
++COMM++ "... welllll... nah. Me thinks I'll just hang out here... and let you guys have all the fun?! No way! I'll be there as soon as I can!" ++END COMM++
With a frown, Shipwreck sighed. "For your sake little humans, please exit the craft as soon as possible thank you!" He felt little feet run about on deck, but Shipwreck was getting impatient. He hoisted anchor and transformed, his feet splashing loudly in the sea, the humans safetly clutching onto the insides of his large fingers. His optic band darkened, he couldn't put them on the shore from the hurricane's rising waters, so instead he trudged out of the water and gently placed them on someone's front porch. He carefully let them go, then pulled back to not harm them. The two nearly fell over from shock.
"Urm..... sorry lads. Keep on high ground and find shelter..." Shipwreck said before turning and crashing onto the street. Being careful not to crush anything of great importance, he thundered his way over to where he had last seen Speedtrap and Tanda go, leaving huge craters of split cement in his wake. "BAHHHhhhhh!!!" He grunted with annoyance as he tried to swerve and run away from screeching cars and panicing earthlings and keep his balence at the same time. He must admit, the funny footprint shaped craters were pretty cool... His arm clicked as the missile torpedoes warnmed up and slid into place as metal shifted out of the way to make room for firepower.
Soundwaves made his audiosensors buzz as he loomed up over a building to see his old mateys and that rascal of a Decepticon. Frowning, his optic band dimmed and narrowed. 'What do you do with a scurvey pirate, what do you do with a scurvey pirate, what do you do with a scurvey pirate?'
"Throw him OVERBOARD!!!" He roared, firing several missiles in Rymthius' direction, rounding the corner to his team mates.

"Now approaching Rythimus' co-ordinates", reported Soundwave who was back manning the communications console.Before even being asked Soundwave punched the area up to the main view screen revealing the mass fight below.

"IDOT!!" screeched Starscream, "He was told to monitor not to engage! Thundercracker, Dirge, Skywarp, Ramjet, get out there and get Rythimus back to the ship! Shrapnel, Kickback, drop the cloaking device ands shields and arm the weapons!"
The four seekers left the bridge, both Dirge and Ramjet were just through the door when Starscream gave his orders and propped Thrust up in the corridor. "Hang loose Thrust! We'll be right back!" laughed Dirge.

The Decepticon seekers made it to the cargo/landing bay and opened the hatch. jumping from the ship and changing to their jet modes in mid air.
"Missile lock on Rythimus!", reported Skywarp frantically.
"Deal with it!", grunted Thundercracker, "And Dirge, Ramjet and I will take out the big guy!" In an instant the three seekers descended towards Shipwreck and all fired their under-wing blasters at the giant.
Skywarp teleported down and shot the missile began shooting the missiles out of the sky, soaring through the air as he tried to keep up with them.

Speed Trap saw... and felt Shipwreck arrive.
~Finnally, backup.~ he thought, and jumped cover to fire off some more rounds.
That's then the bottom dropped out, Speed Trap saw the Decepticon ship decloak, and the seekers jet out.
~This isn't my day...~
He then switched to the Autobot emergency channel.
+E-Com+
"This is the Autobot Speed Trap... This may be my only transmission... Shipwreck, Tanda and I are pinned down from Decepticon fire... a decepticon ship has decloaked, adding reinforcements to our already difficult odds... please, I'm sending the coordinantes, if you haven't seen the ship already...
*he paused*
This is Speed Trap... may Primus help us."
+E-COM+
He set it to repeat, so he could continue fighting.
He sent a few more rounds to Rythmius, as firing at the seekers would reveal his position, if it hadn't already been compromised.

Rythmius glanced up behind his raised hand to see that the missiles were gone, exploded. The musician looked up to see the seekers flying about. Soemthing told him that he would be in for it later somehow. With Mars' head in a buzz and Salvador tiring out, Rythmius was running out of options and was actually glad for the others' arrival. It hurt his pride, but he would have to fix it up later. He had work to do, but with the seekers so close to the large giant, he couldn't risk sending waves without harming them. Rythmius had to think fast.
Shipwreck brought his arm up to block hte missiles lamely, wincing as the exploded on contact with his wet armour. Scowling, he brought his arms down and swatted at the jets as if they were over nothing but annoying flies. "BAAAHHHH!!! Lowsy Decepticons! SCRAM! Scurvey rascles!" He hissed while he swatted.

As the Decepticon warship landed, Shipwreck's swipe sidelined Ramjet sending him spinning through the air before regaining control and arcing up high into the sky, ready for an iminent re-run.
"This is Ramjet, we need a distraction whilst we get Rythimus back!", reported the seeker.
Aboard the ship...
"Insecticons! Target and fire at will!", ordered Starscream. the multi quad-chain guns fired as the ship turned towards Shipwreck, followed by a volley of 2 loads of air-ground missies as the ship continued round.
Skywarp shot the missiles out of the sky and had locked on to Speed Trap's location, wasting no time he arched up and turning to thrust into a strafing run at the bot, firing his under-carriage blasters towards the bot
+++ Decepticon Comms (Private Frequency) +++ Ryhtimus! This is Skywarp, get to the ship! I'll keep matey here busy! +++ Decepticon Comms (Private Frequency) +++

Speedway and Bryan could hear gun fire from the ship. ″The only reason they would need to fire that much is if Shipwreck were fighting.~ Bryan said to Speedway. ″Send him a message through a private autobot channel.~ Bryan added. ″Allready ahead of ya~ Speedway said
++(Private Channel to Shipwreck) Shipwreck this is Speedway and Bryan we are captive on the Decepticon ship. we are kinda their prisoners.(Private Channel to Shipwreck from Speedway)++

Speed Trap was trying for another volley at Rythmius, chaos all around with explosions and gunfire. That's when he saw a glint in the sky.
~What the...~ was all he thought, before he could react.
A hail of blaster fire rained down upon him... Luck wasn't on his side this time... the blaster fire ripped through his left arm, and damaged his left leg. He slumped to teh ground a bit.
He tried regaining his footing, and did after a couple tries. He then scanned the area quickly, to find cover again.
He ducked to cover and looked over his wounds.
~Not the worst I've had... I've wiped out harder on Velocitron...~ he thought.
What he did notice though, was that his emergence tranciever was damaged... not good.
He tried doing a quick repair, but it was no use, it was too damaged.
"This is not what I need right now." he mutterred to himself.

Tanda meanwhile, with Speedtrap then said 'Right, I think we need to get out of here! We're sitting ducks or whatever, down here! Let's see if I can gather human forces to attack them, so we can escape'. Tanda got up, jumped up, transformed and looked for nearby US military bases. She then flew in a circle above the site, to look for any nearby bases. She was looking on the available data on every nearby base.

Shipwreck received the comm link and he nearly completly forgot about the battle swirling around him for once. ++COMM TO SPEEDWAY++ "You're WHAT?! - OW.. Scurvey PIRATES!!! If I get my hands around any one o' 'dem I'll wring there little necks! Hold on tight and try to find a way out Speedway... but batten down yer hatches matey! " ++END COMM TO SPEEDWAY++
Bulletfire danced up along his back and across his shoulders. His back arched in pain and he stumbled forward, wincing. HE didn't WANT to know what his back then looked like, but he had a good idea. Images and memories of lots of bullet holes and leaking wounds. He shaked them off and growled. It stung, but it woud wait. The shrieking of missiles came next, and thinking quickly, Shipwreck took a few quaking steps over to the side of a building, reached over and picked up a smal car. With a grunt, he grasped it between both hands and crushed it a little smaller. The glass shattered and glittered down onto the ground. Optic band narrowing, Shipwreck drummed his fingers around the carball and threw it towards the Decepticon ship like a baseball. Time to dodge missiles now. Twisting around, Shipwreck tried to duck away but tripped instead and landed on the ground with an enormous crash.
"Well SHIVER me TIMBERS! That made me brains rattle..." He grunted outloud. 'Hope it worked, all depends on the type os missile....' If they were tracking missiles he'd be in trouble.
Rythmius had taken Skywarp's dstraction and as soon as Speedtrap checked himself over and Tanda flew off, Rythmius scooped Rythmius and Mars up and bolted the opposite direction. He needed to get back to the ship as Skywarp had directed, but how to get back without being caught in the cross fire. With a frown, he looked down at Salvador, who looked up with a small squeak. He rounded a corner into a small alleyway for cover before darting towards the ship.
((Batten down: to secure or shut))

Tanda went up before Speed Trap could say anything.
+COM to Tanda+
"I don't want to be a kill joy to your plan... but you apparently missed one factor before you went up..." said Speed Trap.
"The Seeker wing is in the air, and they will swarm you..." he said, as he knew of the Sekker's tactics.
+COM+
He shook his head.
He may not know much about aircraft, but a Tanker Jet has no chance against a squadron of fighters.
He tried again to repair his tranciever.

The car bounced of the ship's hull, and although it did no physical damage it engulf the rage of Starscream.
"Insolent little pest!", growled Starscream. Bombshell, knowing his back was to the seeker leader, smirked at the Autobots resilience.
Outside, the seekers regrouped, "This is great!", enthused Ramjet, "We don't even need to transform to take out these Autobot insects!"
"Yeah, they're not proving much of a challenge!", chuckled Thundercracker, "Let's take out the small ones before we eliminate the big guy!"
"Roger that Thundercracker!", replied Skywarp. "I'll stay with this one", continued Skywarp and arched off back towards Speed Trap with a new volleyed of strafing fire from his vulcan cannon.
"Bagsey the tanker bot!", Ramjet replied gleefully before of towards the bot, still with one thruster venting light smoke from Shipwreck's side-swipe. Ramjet veered after the bot, giving chase and letting rip with his under-carriage blasters.
Thundercracker wasn't left with much but was prepared to take on Shipwreck by himself to distract the bot and flew round the towering giant, ocassionally firing. "Sorry, too slow! Is that the best you've got?!"
