'Give it a rest! We barely got this wreck flying, let alone fully fuctioning!"
Just then the Striker shook even harder this time as the ship took a direct hit to it rear end, underneath it's hull. Emergency lights and alarms went off as the ship began to shake. "Direct hit! Losing energy! Lost all engine control! Weapons offline! Shields down! We have a cracked hull!"
"So whats the good news?" Yelled Vendetta.
"We haven't blown up.... yet!"
With that the Strike was out of control. More and more anti-aircraft fire raked the outer hull of the ship, taking it apart bit by bit. Sunreaper continued for the asteroid, trying to keep the nose of the ship up. Vendetta scoffed at the situation and decided to take matters into his own hands. "Its pointless! I'll show you how its done!"
The Seeker ran to the back of the ship and left the control deck. Half between the front and the back of the ship was the loading ramp, where troops were able to leap out of the spacescraft, for landing parties or for Seekers to be deployed.
Vendetta activated the doors, swinging them open. Once he had enough space the Seeker jumped down and transformed when he was clear of the ship.
He began to fly away, going in front of the Striker. Sunreaper took a moment to see that Vendetta was attacking the gun pods on the asteroid. "He might have bought us time, brace yourselves for crash landing!"
******
The grenade went off, showering all in the room with shrapnel. Onix found his legs covered with sharp metal fragments and his rocket drone the same. But his drone was still functional as it continued it's assault on the robots trying to get through the doors.

Onix got up to his feet. He'd p[ay attention to is injuries when he had time. He threw a flak grenade of his own back through the door then his scrapmaker spun to life as he fired through the opening.
"Get one of these other doors open. We will lock it behind us and then make for Spanner!"

"Good idea"
Sidewinder fiddled around with the console, keeping an eye on the camera displays, and tried unlocking one of the other doors that didn't have neutrals in the corridor.

Sidewinder's efforts were successful as both doors opened up. No one came through them and both led to corridors that were too dark to see if their was anyone else down there.
Onix kept asteroid security back but his rocket drone was taking a beating. It wouldn't last much longer against the shots that managed to get through the opening.
*******
Sunreaper tried to avoid anymore shots from hitting the Striker but it was all in-vein. With a final effort to bring the ship under control. the Decepticons passed through the assault on their ship and the Strike struck the asteroid. The battle cruisers slid across the surface of the small base, shaking and throwing everyone inside all about.
Finally the ship came to a stop, but the damaged it suffered was too much. Sunreaper, with a damaged torso, a cracked head that was leaking fuel, a twisted forearm and pain in his legs, looked up to see that the interior of the ship was on fire. "We got to get out! Who's still alive?"
Sunreaper looked over to see who was still awake. When he saw Powersurge, lying on the ground and not moving, he began to fear the worst.

From a pile of debris, Torquemada rose up. leaking some fuel, as he sprung up admist the carnage he saw a bulkhead directly in front of him that had come down, barely missing where he had been lying. "Great! Wonderful!", moaned the seeker, "Between vendetta's shooting and your flying it's a wonder we're still alive!"
The seeker stood from his bent over position and walked over to Powersurge and gave him a good kick in the side of the torso, "GET UP!"

Onix kept up his barrage at the enemies through the door, while moving over to one of the other doors
"Sidewinder, through the door then lock it down behind us. I'll cover you."

Sidewinder dashed over to the door that Onix was next to (the one on the left side of the room) and brought out his rifle. "Dark, creepy corridor. Perfect place for an ambush" he whispered dramatically. He stood ready at the doors console to shut it as soon as Onix got in.

Onix backed in through the door and nodded at Sidewinder
"Lock it down, and if you still have those thermo mines, drop then here so they get a nasty surprise when they get through."

Torquemada's kick made Powersurge roll over. Their squad commander was clearly knocked out due to the crash. Sunreaper managed to get up. "Honestly, I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around. Powersurge is out, lets find the others and get out of here."
As Sunreaper went looking for Bomblast and Retractor, outside Vendetta was doing his best to take down as many gun turrets as possible. He then activated his comlink to contact Sidewinder and Onix.
********
Onix and Sidewinder found themselves in a long dark corridor, with the only light a head of them in the form of a flashing red light that must have been part of the security system.
Echoes of robot running about and shouting could be heard off in the distance as the confusion within the station continued. From behind the doors the two Decepticons had just passed through, the sounds of more robots entering the control hub was heard.
"Where are they?"
"Check for survivors!"
"They went this way!"
And then another voice got the pairs attention that came through their comlinks. [comlink]"Vendetta to Misfits, Vendetta to Misfits! Come in you two blasted, second-hand androids! Are you two still alive and if so, where are you? Activate your homing becons so we can rejoin you in capturing Spanner! And please tell me you've found him!"[/comlink]

Onix got on his coms with Vendetta
*com*"Still trying to bag our target, where you slackers at? I trust your landing was adequate?"*com*
Onix motioned to Sidewinder
"I trust you at least had the notion to get some sort of schematic of this place, which way to Spanner's lab?"

Vendetta's response to Onix was, [comlink]"You can go burn in the pit! The ship is wrecked, as for the others... Bah! Who cares! Activate your homing becon already!"[/comlink]

Sidewinder had locked the doors even as Onix asked him to do so then did as he was asked and placed the thermo mines close to the door.
"Yes yes of course! we'll get to him in no time at all" Sidewinder said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Then lets get to him. I'd prefer not to have to split any more credit on the capture than present company. The sooner I get away from the Misfits, the better chance I have of not getting slagged."
Onix activated his homing beacon and got back on the com with Vendetta
*com*"Wrecked? What's the good of a tub full of seekers if they all sit inside of it while it crashes and burns? Well, if you really want to be useful, you could always secure one of Spanner's ships, after you sorry lot take out those manned AA's"*com*

Torquemada started to make his way down one of the corridirs not far from where the ship had crashed, many of the ventiilation shafts were pushing out compressed air out due to some fires that had roke out frm the fire-fighting and the ship crashing into the station. The seeker had to physically pull back on metal sheeting that had fallen down from the ceiling and walls, as well as other debris, to make his way through, listening to the comms as he did.
[comlink]"Watch your mouth Onix you little punk! If you hadn't started shooting the place up the defenses wouldn't have turned on the ship in the first place! So how about you do your job!"[/comlink]
"That little wretch! Who does he think he is?", raved Torquemada back down the corridor to Vendetta. "Well, he'll get his! I make sure in the report that his incompitence is noticed and that WE had to come and rescue them!", spat the bot nastily.

*com*"Nothing Sidewinder nor I could do about manual overrides on the AA guns. How else did you expect us to shut the defenses down, ask nicely?"*com*
Onix continued behind Sidewinder, letting the awkward mech lead the way.
