As Sunreaper crashed into the guards up ahead with his whirlwind strikes, the decepticon managed to take down two guards before the others began to dodge Sunreaper's weapon. In return, Sunreaper was paid back with point blank machine gun fire. Despite his devistating attack, the warrior fell down, damaged and in angonizing pain. "Waste sucking slag heads! Go ahead.... finish me off."
The guards up front who now held Sunreaper as their captive called out to Torquemada and Vendetta. "We have your comrade! Surrender now and he'll live!"
"Never!" Yelled Vendetta as he stepped out and fired at the guard who made the offer, taking off his head with a fury of bullets. As Vendetta kept firing, the rest of the guards fired back. Vendetta was caught in the shoulders and knocked down. Still functional, Vendetta managed to get himself back under cover but if his position was rushed he would not survive the encounter.
With two of his comrades out of the fight, Torquemada found himself alone and with more of the guards focusing their attack on him. Bullets sprayed his position and ricocheted all around him. Some of the projectiles even tore through his cover, in time it would slowly reduce to nothing.

Onix looked around at the increasing hologram enemies
"Give it up Spanner. Do you really want to be the demise of another of Cybertron's intellectuals? There are so few left already. Give up this fight, come with us willingly, and become one of the planets greatest assets. Our home is dying, and the Decepticons aim to remedy that while the Autobots abandon it to go and ravage other worlds."

Spanner spat back. "I refuse to believe the words of a murderer! You've forced my hand!" Spanner began to move the cutter towards Sidewinder with the intention of killing him there and then.
But before the fatal contact was made, Spanner's chest was struck by a shot that seemed to come from now where. And then another shot ripped into the cutter, causing a small explosion that made the deadly device cease to function.
Then all around Onix, he could see that the holograms were erupting as if attacked by unseen foes.

Sidewinder crawled away from Spanner towards a wall nearby where he pulled himself up. He leaned against it, keeping his weight off his damaged leg.
"Gah! Should've known the SCIENCE BOT was the one to get cut up like a piece of scrap!" He shouted angrily. He glanced curiously at the holograms.

Onix bum rushed over to Spanner, pinning him to the ground, but also shielding him from any more possible damage.

As Onix protected Spanner, Sidewinder watched as the holograms began to fall. From out of thin air, robots that the pair hadn't seen before began to advance on the holograms and tear them apart.
Then in between Onix and Sidewinder, a robot decloaked to reveal himself. "Greetings my fellow Decepticons. I am known as Spectre, leader of the Ghostriders. Looks as if I have arrive just in time before your carcasses were turned to scrap metal, ha!"

As the bullets richocheted aroud him, some into him through the cover, Torquemada looked at his Ion blaster before putting it away. Usless. If he was going to go out he'd do it in style and launch out with his Energon Scimitar, even if he would be torn too shreads in just a few klicks. Vendetta was wounded, and they wouldn't hold out much longer.
Explosive EMP Grenades? They were too close, if he started chucking them around, they'd e caught up in the blast too. Wither he made a stand and went down in a hail of bullets or.. OR!... It was still risky, for both him and the group but at most if it all went wrong it would buy the other team some time.. The seeker crawled forward on all fours still trying to avaoid the hail of bullets as he left Vendetta lying there leaking Energon.. If anyone else had been there, for a second it might have looked like he was trying to crawl/sneak away and abandon his teammates. He wasn't. After going so far he flipped himself over so he was sat on the ground on his skid-plates, long legs jutting forward. Arching his arms back he flipped up to face his adversories before jumping up and transforming to flight mode, even that gave him a spray of laser bullets.
As he hovered up in jet mode, in the very tight space, he let of his rounds of homing rockets, as he did the spray of fire battered his wings and cockpit sending a huge crack forming in the icy pink-purple windscreen before the holes started to appear, from other shots, making shattering holes in his 'screen. As he continued to get assaulted with fire he saw the look of hooror turn on his agressor's faces as he let of his homing rockets in sucession..

The homing rockets ripped the guards the shreds, taking much of the wall and the ceiling they were close to with it as well. Along with the sound of the explosion and the painful screams, the sound of metal collapsing in from the level above could be heard.
Before Torquemada could celebrate or do anything about his assault, from behind the remaining guard intensified their firepower. The Decepticon seeker wasn't able to remaining hovering in the corridor, the guards attack brought him down.
From behind the Decepticons, the guards began to walk in closer. Guns raised, each Decepticon covered with a weapon, each one knowing if they did anything it would be the last thing they ever did. Even with the smoke from the wreckage behind them coming towards their downed body's, the Decepticons could see their end as it moved towards them.
As one guard raised his weapon to fire, charged it up to full power, aimed at Torquemada's head, his shoulders tensed up and his then froze. It looked to the others as if it was the final moment of their comrade and the guard was taking this time just to get the shot right.
But then shot was never fired.
The guard began to shake. His shoulder's tensed even further, followed by his arms. Then his head began to shake just before he began to yell something terrible. As his weapon dropped from his hands, a blade revealed it's self through his chest, showering everyone in front of him with sparks as energon shot out and sprayed the Decepticons.
Soon others guards shared similar fates. Blade slicing off arms and head, and even torsos in half. As each guard fell, a new form took their place. Appearing as if out of thin air, Decepticon cloakers began to reveal themselves to the fallen Decepticons on the floor.
One of the cloakers spoke in to his comlink as the others went to attend to the wound. "Sir, we have the others. They are alive. Sorry say again sir? You want to speak to the one who appears to be in charge? Very well, sir."
The guard walked past Vendetta and towards Torquemada, bending down so that the Seeker could use the Cloaker's comlink located on his forearm. Vendetta protested. "What? I'm in control here! No him!"
From the comlink came a scaly voice. [comlink]"This is Spectre of the Ghostriders, to whom am I speaking to?"[comlink]"

Onix got up and dragged spanner up and pinned him against the wall. He looked back at the new Decepticon
"What in the slaggin' pit are a detachment of cloakers doing here? And you best hope you didn't do any permanent damage to the scientist or Megatron will have your head!"

As the rest of the cloakers began to spread out, taking sentry positions and moving along the walls, Spectre laughed before he answered Onix. "As if I care what Megatron thinks! The scientist is only wounded, and it is all of you that should be worried. From what I hear Megatron thinks you Misfits can't handle the missions he gives you. Considering how the last one went, I don't blame him. Now, this blow this scrap heap of a base and return to Cybetron. Gather whats left of your team, my ship is waiting outside.
Spectre then activated his comlink to find the rest of his Ghostrider team. After he spoke to one of his troops, he then ordered that he speak to the rest of the Misfits his Ghostriders had located. [comlink]"This is Spectre of the Ghostriders, to whom am I speaking to?"[comlink]

"I couldn't agree more. I think we've had enough of holograms to last a lifetime." Sidewinder laughed with little mirth.

With what little strength and energon he had left in his system, Vendetta pushed himself up and shot towards the Decepticon Cloaker. Despite the pain and the lack of balance, Vendetta was able to force himself between the Cloaker's comlink and Torquemada. "Acting commander Vendetta! I am in charge here, why did you not inform us that you were here?"
On the other end of the comlink, Spectre's face seem to grow even more sinister with a hint of glee, portrayed by the razor sharp grin he began to make. "There's no point in being a Cloaker if you are to tell everyone that your here, defeats the purpose don't you think?"
"You should have inform us! And this is our mission, you will release Spanner to us when myself and the rest of my team arrive."
"Actually, no I won't. Megatron didn't trust you Misfits to do the job properly so he sent us. Consider yourselves the distraction team while the real professional moved in and did their job."
"What?! Why you glob of grease, scum sucking slag heap! We do all the work and you think you'll take the glory? I'm in command, you'll do as I say!"
"I recognize your command very well, very well indeed. For it will be you that answers for the muck-up of a mission to Megatron himself, commander"
Vendetta then went quiet. The thought of what Megatron did the last members of the Misfits sent chills down his cervo-spinal bridge.
Spectre went on. "Now. You are to process to hanger bay. I am sure we can find something that will get us off this rock. Spanner is wounded but more then functional. We have what we came for. If we encounter anymore resistance or survivors, kill them. Oh, and don't worry. We'll send someone to collect Bomblast and Powersurge. If their still alive, we'll bring them back. But maybe they're better off dead, considering how mad you lot make Megatron...."
With that, the Ghostriders began to carry out their orders. Within 10 astro-minutes the Misfits were brought together, wounded and all, and placed on a ship along with the Ghostriders at the controls.
Spanner, still conscious and aware of what was going on, was able to gaze out the window and watch as his asteroid got smaller and smaller as they returned to Cybertron. Then as he expected, the gigantic space rock that was his home, that housed many other Cybertronians who wanted to escape the war, exploded. The horror of knowing that all his friends, those he promised he could keep safe and start a new life, were no gone and it was his fault. The guilt of being responsible for their deaths gutted him so deeply that Spanner knew that things would never be the same.
And his personal pain grew worse as he knew that the Decepticons would use him to bring the exact same pain and suffering on Cybertron.
