"Not sure if there's anywhere good to hide from a group that big. Then there's that..." Trigger gestured to the pool of energon on the floor from their earlier fight. "Either way we'll probably end up with the ship on some kinda alert. I say we run. Get as much distance as possible before that happens." Trigger made some mental notes of the directions to their destination before exiting whatever documents she'd accessed. "Alright, we need ta head down that way." She pointed towards a different corridor in the room.

As Twintwist flitted between stuff lying around he finally found a little satisfaction, quietly mumbling to himself as he hooked up the explosives. "A little one here, one here.. Ooh! Definetly one there!", he muttered as he randomly divided the explosive device up between the generators - something that was sure to go with a big BANG and some of the tubes of energon and other strange liquids glooping around inside them. The noise was now strangely close.. The wrecker turned his head to call to one of his fellow comrades..
"Hey Ironfist, did that nasty ol' drunk seeker scare you?" chortled the bot, "I thought for sure he would spot us, too drunk to know his own mind! Stupid seeker. Of course I wasn't afraid, nothing' gives me the heebee geebees!". as he turned back he secure the explosive device he was working on, as he raised his head to look up when a hand inside one of the tubes thumped against the side and began very slowly tapping lightly without rythm.
"YYYYAAAARRRRRGH!", the surprise was enough to make Twintwist fall right back on his skid-plates. "I- I think we've got a live one! In the tubes!", stuttered the bot staggered by the hand, "Well there's the source of the noise then!.. COME QUICK!"

Ironfist couldn't believe Twin Twist sometimes. Talking out load the way he did, when they were tracking down a potential threat and trying to remain undiscovered. Of course, it wasn't Twin Twist's style to be quiet most times. Not like Twin Twist's 'brother' Topspin. But if you ever brought up Topspin's name it would anger Twin Twist, it wasn't something best not to ever bring up.
And when Twin Twist started going on about finding the source of the noise, Ironfist was puzzled. He looked up at the other CR Chambers and saw Vehicon troops inside of them. However they didn't seem to be alive, or more to the power, powered up. Speculation about that would have to wait, now it was time to investigate what was going on with Twin Twist. Ironfist raced across the floor as fast as he could and found Twin Twist close to a CR Chamber that also had many energon tubes close by. Inside the CR Chamber he could see someone inside, moving slowly.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that this robot looked like a Vehicon in form, however had some very telling and different characteristics. For one, he was red, orange and yellow in colour. Second was he had an actually face, unlike the rather featureless faceplate and visors all Vehicon troops wore. And third and properly most important, on the robots chest was an Autobot symbol.
When he saw this Ironfist took his Thermo Energon Scimitar and sliced handles on the door to the CR Chamber. He then grabbed the door and pull it open with a hiss as the hydraulic pressure for the opening mechanism leaked out. Then the robot inside, energy deprived and weak, fell to the floor with a thud. Obviously he was too tired and drained of energon to fight or do much of anything else at present.
Ironfist turned the mech around and demanded. "Be easy. You are among friends. What is your name and rank my fellow Autobot."
As if trying to get his head circuits started back up, the strange shook his head slightly, cleared his throat as his optics flashed on and off, and then said. -
- "Rodimus…. My name is Rodimus."

When Twin Twist said he didn't do silent h meant it. The mech was louder then some Vela had ever known, making her shake her head slightly at the noise. Though she had a feeling it partly has to do keeping quiet for so long when they had been waiting to board the ship.
"Ramjet is hardly what you call scary Twin Twist, more like a slagging disgrace of a soldier and a Seeker." She responded with distaste, normally disliking any Decepticon but Ramjet just was a disgrace in her full opinion. And if she still had been a Seeker she would have still had such an opinion. But for now those thoughts could wait as she began her search around the room for some kind of appearance of life among the chambers. She had even paused to sniff the air around the door in wonder of maybe finding someone outside it but there was nothing. Could it have been a simple noise from the pipes or maybe the workers in the areas below the ship?
Twin Twist's sudden yell made her turn just as Ironfist had opened the CR Chamber and she rushed over to see what was going on. Much to her surprise it was an ally, possibly a prisoner under Thunderwing they had not expected to encounter. Though his name didn't ring a bell at all to her as she retracted her arm blades for now, "Can you tell us how you got here Rodimus?" She inquired as she moved over and offered a hand to help Twin Twist back to his feet.

Rodimus struggled to get up. Despite the others trying to keep him still, he refused to stay in one spot. "Megatron, he caught me and put me here in this place! He made used me!"
Rodimus then punched out the glass to the closest CR Chamber he was next to. Ironfist then grabbed him and held his arms back. "You must be quiet! We are the Wreckers. A team of Autobots, like you. We can save you, only if you let us."
Rodimus struggled but didn't have the energy. "You don't understand, he used me, he used me to create his army of Vehicons. He's created thousands upon thousands here on this ship. He did it as payback for betraying him and the Decepticons."
"Your a former Decepticon?" Asked Ironfist.
"Shamefully yes," replied Rodimus.
"It is not shameful to have made a mistake. You and I are not that different, I am no proud of my past. But like you, I became an Autobot to right my personal wrongs. Now help us help you."
Ironfist sat Rodimus down and looked for the closer energizing device he could. He found one and quickly hooked it up to Rodimus. "Twin Twist, if you can quickly finish laying the explosives we can be on our way. Vela, perhaps it would be wise to find the engine room. We should do as Springer instructed and apply a few explosives in the engine room. In the very least we can cripple the ship."

Vela watched Rodimus as he seemed frustrated, probably just from being used all this time to create the army of Vehicons they knew. Least they knew the source of their creation and likely their alternate modes. But it was something to linger on later as she nodded to Ironfist, "Most Decepticons are unforgiving Rodimus. They'll use anyone for their own gain, experiments are just some of the most common kind they seem to favor, me and you are an example of that." She said to him as she came over to the console there in the room and began typing away to access the ship's map and let her optics roam over the inside seeing some paths they could take to the engine room which seemed further back on the ship. "We may want to take the lower system under the grates again to have less chances of avoiding detection. Taking any of the halls from here might prove risky." She told them as she turned towards them, not wanting to remain there much longer as this place was making her rather edgy and ready to pounce something the first moment she could.

Twintwist wasn't sure what to make of the newcomer but didn't like hearing the words "Ex-Decepticon" and instantly did not trust him. The only good Decepticon was a dead Decepticon. If what he was saying was right however, that there were thousands and thousands of Decepticons then they had much bigger issues. The wrecker did as he was told and returned to setting up the explosive devices everywhere, after about a breem, several minutes in Earth time he was done.
"All done.", reported the Wrecker. "Let's get out of here, I assume were taking that with us..", scorned the bot distastefully. [Rodimus]
Elsewhere Sandstorm dragged the body of Download over to the grinder where they were disposing of the Decepticon bodies they had dealt with. "Not the end I would ask for", he summarized to himself, and with regret shoved the deformed body of Download into the grinder. "Farewell comrade, you could've been a great Wrecker, you had so much to learn but were taken too soon," with that Sandstorm fed her body into the grinder until her body was no more, crushed into small aton particles.

Kup looked away from the grinder as it took all the bodies they dumped in to it. He pushed the mysterious death of their comrade to the back of his mind. Despite her attitude and lack of respect towards the way things were done, Kup believed Download could of made a decent Wrecker. But that would never happen now and it was time to get to the business at hand.
Kup began to have a look around. "So this is where they're mining the red and green energon. Separating it from the rock samples, but why drop off there dead troops here? Damned if I know. If we drop a couple of bangers in here we ought to be able to cripple there operation. Even a couple of grenades would do the trick if placed in the right spot. What'cha go kid?" Asked Kup.
Rodimus stood up and raised a fist at Twin Twist. "I have a name, its Rodimus. Not like these nameless Vehicon drones, try using it or do I have to teach you?"
Ironfist looked at the two. "Now it not the time. Vela has found us a way out of here. Lets make tracks and see about finding the others. Vela, lead the way to the closest grate."
Trigger then grabbed Torque by the shoulder and pulled him along, guiding him down the corridor that would take them away from the approaching Seekers and towards the weapons station.
By the time they were gone, Sunstorm, Thrust and Thundercracker entered the medic lab. The Vehicons followed in behind and saw the leaked energon on the floor. "Commander, this doesn't seem right. Should we investigate."
Sunstorm didn't even look at the Vehicon who spoke. "There's no need."
"Commander, I don't understand…" The puzzled drone said.
"No you wouldn't." Replied a smiling Sunstorm as Thrust chuckled away.
THE WRECKER'S SHIP
Springer was now face first with Bomblast. Broadside wasn't getting up after taking that heavy hit from the much stronger Wrecker. Springer had his weapon in hand but couldn't risk shooting Bomblast at point blank range. Instead he flipped his rifle, now holding the barrel, swung the weapon right at Bomblast's head and hit him as hard as he could. The rifle broke right in two across the top of Bomblast's head, not affecting the crazed Wrecker at all.
Springer took a step back and got ready for what was to come, but then before Bomblast could react, Roadbuster came up from behind and put Bomblast in a bear-hug. "Springer I have him! Do something now, take him out!"

Vela lookedback towards the two, her optics shifting between Twin Twist and Rodimus, understanding the problem but this hardly seemed the time. "Save your desire to slag each other later or direct it on any Vehicons we come across." She said before turning away shaking her head, "Mechs." She muttered as she shifted to her raptor form and moved to the door. "There's another grate just down this hall the room is connected to, we can go down from there and head straight to the back of the ship to the engine room, set the explosives and hopefully get out in one piece." She told them, emphasizing the last part towards Rodimus and Twin Twist.
Moving towards the door she waited as it opened before sniffing slightly and carefully peeking out to make sure the place was clear. The last thing they needed was a bunch of Vehicons catching them and alerting to who slagging ship.

"Who said anything about slaggin' him?!", exclaimed the Wrecker towards Vela. "All I'm sayin' is I'm not gonna insta-trust someone just because they call themselves Autobot! Anyway the explosives are already set. SO? Is it clear out there yet?"
GM approved Sandstorm opened up a compartment within his body and pulled out some small explosives, "This should do the trick", offered the Wrecker showing his stash to Kup, "I passed Twintwist on the way over to the scout ship, didn't think he should be trusted with too much of the stuff - you know what he's like.." added the bot. "Once it set though, that's it not much of a countdown, we'll have to get out of here - fast!"

Bomblast snarled as Springer's rifle broke over his head. He was about to grab Springer when Roadbuster grabbed him from behind. Bomblast roared and attempted to bring his head back to hit Roadbuster's face, but he didn't have the right angle. Bomblast stumbled backwards as Roadbuster's weight threw his balance off. He managed to turn, slamming Roadbuster into the wall, but not with enough force to loosen the Wrecker's grip. Bomblast took a step forwards so he could try slamming Roadbuster into the wall again. However, as he stepped forward, his third optic flickered again. This time, it went out completely. Bomblast stopped moving, but the awkward position he was in, being in mid-step, caused him to fall forwards. There was a loud clang as Bomblast's face connected with the wall and he crumpled to the floor. He looked perfectly fine, his two main optics glowing brightly, but he wasn't moving. It was as if the lights were on, but no-one was home.
Torque followed Trigger for a moment, but then he remembered what he had seen on the maps they'd looked at in the med lab.
"There's somewhere along this corridor that we need to stop at. And it isn't the Weapons Station. Thunderwing's lab is around here somewhere, and some of us have a mission to complete." He said quietly.

"Riiiight." Trigger muttered rolling her hidden optics before looking back at Torque. "S'fine. Long as we're quick. Which way's somewhere then mission master?"
Trigger figured a detour wouldn't hurt, particularly as she'd never be able to access the weapons Station without Torques help. No arm twisting needed. And maybe she'd be able to find what she was looking for at the lab. She kept her audios sharp for any movement nearby. No way was she going to be the one to give away their position.

THE WRECKER'S SHIP
Broadside started to regain conscience after taking a hard hit to the head. He then remembered what was going on and raised his weapon, looking for Bomblast. Broadside then saw Bomblast on the floor and clam.
As everyone looked at Bomblast, waiting for something to happen, a pair of feet was heard running towards them. Around the corner came First Aid. He quickly ran over Broadside's fallen body and stopped when he came up to Bomblast. In his hand was his data pad. "Springer! Oh Springer this is all my fault! All my fault! Damnit! Damnit! Damnit!"
Springer traded glances with Broadside and Roadbuster for a second then asked, "First Aid what in the blazes are you talking about?"
First Aid began. "Ok, I detected this strange energy reading before the Wreckers went over to the Dranconian. Small reading, nothing major. Then I detected it again, this time on Bomblast. Bomblast claimed it was energon from the Vehicons they encountered on the Decepticon scout ship. But it didn't read like energon. So, since we couldn't find Trigger we decided to scan the energon on the Vehicon pilot we captured. And sure enough the material in the Vehicon was the same material splattered all over Bomblast. Now I would of detected it earlier if you hadn't placed the Vehicon in the escape pod, since the escape pod's wall blocked my scans. So I ran another scan, this time comparing it to the raw red and green energon deposits discovered on the Decepticon scout ship. I don't know how but the Decepticons combined the red and green energon and I think they are powering up there troops. So just as I discovered the connection, our Vehicon prisoner attacked Bomblast and managed to stab him. Some of the energon got into Bomblast and I think thats why he freaked out."
"Freaked out?" Yelled Broadside. "That wasn't a freak out that was a full on psychotic episode! Wait until I get my hands on you First Aid!"
Roadbuster held Broadside back as Springer started to give First Aid hell. "Primus be damned First Aid! Look at what's happened now! And were suppose to be back up! What if the team gets into trouble now? What are we suppose to do?"
Road Buster then looked at First Aid. "Hey, so what about the first time you detected that energy signature? What was that?"
First Aid shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but I've had my thoughts about it. Vehicon spy? If so the ship would of detected them by now. And yes the rest of the escape pods were empty! We looked when looking for Trigger. Or maybe Trigger was the spy and now she's gone back to warn the Decepticons? If so we would of been captured by now. I don't know what it could of been unless one of the Wreckers was full of….."
A look of shock came over First Aid's face as he dropped his data pad with dark realization.
"What? What the slag is it?" Demanded Springer.
"Download. It was Download, She was the only one who didn't recharge when she came back on board. She claimed that her energy level were full. What if…. oh no…."
Trigger and Torque made there way down the hall, avoiding all Vehicon drones like the professionals they were. They then came to Thunderwing's lab. No guards were present at the doors, and that was because the doors were heavily armoured and heavy. No one was getting through, not even with a barrage of missiles aimed directly at it. However as it looked like it was an useless endeavour, the doors opened. from inside came three Decepticons, talking to themselves as they made there way down the hall away from the two Wreckers.
The doors didn't close.
Seeing there chance, the two Wreckers entered the lab to find that the lab was huge room, capable of holding several pieces of equipment if needed. However the room was bare. All that it had were blast marks and giant dents lining the walls. Across the floors the same amount of abuse was present along with scrap metal that looked like it may have belonged to different Decepticon warriors.
And in the centre of the room stood a large glass dome. Inside the dome was full of green liquid, bubbling about around what looked like a suit of armour. An eco-skeleton of some sort. It looked strong enough to knock down the doors to the lab that the Trigger and Torque had just walked through. And speaking of the doors -
SHHHHRRIIFT!
-they then shut without warning. Then a voice was heard. "Did you really think it would be this easy?"
It sounded like it was coming from inside the room. But as to who it was or as for where it was coming from it was hard to tell with all the dark corners inside the lab.
Kup looked at Sandstorm with grin of approval. But then that grin was wiped off Kup's face when a flash of light appeared about both Wreckers.
"Came to crash the party did you? Well allow me to crash the crashers!" Standing on top of a computer console was Skywarp. Kup's battle reflexes took over and he open fired on Skywarp, who teleported out of the way and avoiding a hole in his chest. He appeared off in the distance laughing. "You gotta be faster then that Wrecker! Vehicons attack!"
The doors opened up and in came a squad of Vehicons, all guns blazing away at Kup and Sandstorm. Kup started to return fire with all that he had and found cover, taking down a few Vehicons but not enough. "Sandstorm, set the charges and get ready to haul can! Maybe we'll be able to take down a few of them with us!"
Skywarp teleported again and began to creep in on Sandstorm from behind, ready with his assassin blade. "hehehhe!"
As Vela gave the good to go, the CR tubes began to break open. The Vehicons on the inside were waking up!
Ironfist pulled Rodimus up and shoved him towards the door. "Vehicons! Everywhere! Quick get out of the room, everyone!" Ironfist was fast, but not fast enough to cut down every single Vehicons that broke free from their chamber. He'd strike one down, and another two come break free and try to grab a Wrecker. Rodimus stood his ground as the recharge he received started to kick in. As one Vehicon got he'd knock them down. "Oh you want some! Come get it ! You too? All right I got something for you!"
Twin Twist was finished laying his explosives. But he was cut off from the exit by at least five Vehicons coming at him.
Vela was still by the door and saw her comrades in trouble but something caught her optic. Down one hallway stood two Seekers, Dirge and Ramjet. "All right Dirge, you can have which ever Wrecker is in the room. I want this one, I bet she thinks she's tough!" Said Ramjet as he knocked his fists together and walked towards Vela.

"For Primus's sake Twin Twist hold your slagging..."Vela was cut off by the sudden breaking of glass, turning to face her fellow Wrecker as her patience was becoming rather thin with him. But at that moment the Vehicons came out, overpowering her teammates and Rodimus. "Hold on guys I'm coming!" She said as she prepared to return inside the room to give aid but not before the sound of the two Seekers caught her attention, making her growl as she now had to face one of them.
Her attention immediately went to the drunk seeker they had seen earlier, Ramjet was his name and the one she saw as a disgrace to seekers. Immediately though her thoughts began to go through weaknesses she remembered when she had been a seeker once, the wings and cockpit definitely, that'd certainly have to jar him good. But the mech seemed more durable then most fliers so she would have to be careful. Fliers were still tough and she knew very few in the past who would have allowed themselves to go down so easily. "Know I'm tough enough to take you on Seeker."
Maybe for once she would be able to go all out in a fight, feeling every part of her being ready to tear something apart, or at the very least do some damage to a Decepticon. "Course you Decepticons are all the same, thinking your the most powerful, invincible, it's rather annoying to hear. So how about we cut the chitchat and fight, hm?" She said as she growled and transformed to robot mode, her arm blades ejecting immediately, making a "bring it on" motion with her hand.

Dirge looked at Vela in disgust and then sneered at Ramjet. "I hope she doesn't bite too hard, let me know if you need any help." And with that Dirge phased through the wall to take on the other Autobots.
Ramjet screwed up his face at Dirge's comment as he drew out his shotgun. He aimed it at Vela, who he saw was standing her ground with her arm blades out. The seeker then sized her up, looked at the shotgun, raised it so that it was aimed at the ceiling and fired the two shots inside. "All right, you want to do it the hard way, fine. Don't say I didn't warn ya!"
Ramjet let his shotgun fall to the floor as he took his combat knife out and approached the smaller Transformer before him. Then as he got close enough he leapt at Vela, knife in front, aimed at her neck.
Dirge was inside the chamber and saw all hell breaking loose. He saw that Rodimus had broken free and was knocking down Vehicon after Vehicon with his bare hands and anything he could get his hands on. But it was the others in the room that Dirge was focused on. Twin Twist was a big mech, truly a challenge, but it seems that he had his hands full already with a group of Vehicons baring down on him. Then the Seeker saw Iron Fist, slicing away at any Vehicon that got close to him. Dirge began to make his way towards the lone Wrecker.
Ironfist was clam, collected and in his zone. He felt he could do this forever, working out his inner anger on drones that were technically alive. But he knew he had to make sure his comrades were safe, they needed to get out. Then he heard a terrible rumbling that vibrated his inners. It broke his focus and he wanted to find a spot to figure out what was going on. The Vehicons seemed to feel it as well and began to back off. Then from behind Iron Fist he felt a kick to the middle of his back that sent him flying forward.
Reacting quickly Iron Fist was back on his feet, his blade up and ready to defend himself. There he saw Dirge, standing still and posed. With a finger Dirge pointed at Iron Fist. "The difference between me and any nightmares you've had, is that you won't be able to wake up from this one."
"Maybe. But the trouble is I never sleep." Replied Iron Fist.
The two began to circle each other, sizing each other up. All the Vehicons backed off, knowing better to get in-between these two. Instead the remaining Vehicons decided to swarm on Rodimus, since he looked easier to take down.
