Epyon cotniued to rain fire down towards the Reavers and the gestalt so Magnum and the others could have a chance to move, while moving baout so they could get a fix on him. He went up high and looked about.
"Baseline based on your estimantion could we put some of that weaponary we passed to use?"

Epyon soon found himself caught in the cross fire of all the Reaver tanks as they came in closer. He was blasted directly in the chest. Losing control, he fell to the ground far ahead of where the Vice officers were heading.
When Epyon got back up, he found himself on the other side of what looked like it could have been a smelting pit at one time.
Fulled with mud like tar and rusted junk, the lava was long gone. Epyon was only a few feet away from the edge.
He could see the others running up, but they were cut off from him by the shear size of the pit.

Tron saw the damaged being done to the Reavers by Baseline. Tron's own gun wasn't having any affect, so he fired at the ones that were damaged, but it wasn't slowing them down. [glow=blue,2,000]"This is pointless! There armors too strong for blasters!"[/glow] As Tron ran, constantly looking back at the Reavers, he almost fell into the pit. [glow=blue,2,000]"Whoa-whoa-Whoa! Aww $&%#! Quick, jump on over the pit and off the junk inside!"[/glow] Tron and then Magnum following began to jump from piece to piece of broken wreckage that littered the pits tar pool up above.

Still firing on the Reavers, Baseline kept moving slowly backwards trying to cover the Vice squad's retreat from the battleground. Hearing Epyon's question he tried to recall what they had passed on the way in to the citadel.
[glow=navy,2,600]Unless we saw a atom smasher cannon or an etherweave plasma thrower I think we'd be left stripping dead Reavers for their laser blasters. Maybe you could do a quick recon for us and see whats left out there. I got an idea for a last ditch effort but I do mean last ditch...[/glow] Reaching the edge of the pit he took cover behind an old slag pile and waited for Tron and Magnum to traverse the open area behind him.

"i'll try, don't how my flight systems are after that hit i took" Epyon said as he looked at the others jumping over junk to get to the other side.

Reaching the edge of the pit he took cover behind an old slag pile and waited for Tron and Magnum to traverse the open area behind him. But then *BOOM!!!* An explosion from a rocket went off infront of Baseline with enough force to throw him in to the muck of the old smelting pool. He disappeared under the muddy like water substance. Magnum continued to try and walk over while carrying Vice6, but it was hard with all the poor footing and shaky piece of junk all about. But then to Magnum's surprize, he heard a whipser. "Uuuuummm, feels like... one of my old hangovers....""Commander!" Magnum almost yelled. Relieved that Vice6 seemed to be snapping out of it, it also distracted him. Causing him to take a bad step and the two fell in to the pool.

[glow=blue,2,000]"Baseline?! BASELINE!!"[/glow] Tron saw Baseline fall in to the muck and sprinted back to find him, hoping to pull him out.
But a row of enemy fire cut him off, casuing him to fall and disappear under the meck as well.

Quickly switching his optics to infra-red heat detection Baseline tried to see what was going on around him. He could see the shapes of the other squad members who had fallen in the muck as well but for some reason he could not find them using his usual Vice detection equipment. Suddenly he realized that if he couldn't 'see' them then maybe the Reavers wouldn't either. Switching comms he called the other members and clued them in.

Hearing Baseline on a muffled comlink communication. [glow=blue,2,000]"What the? Stay down here?! Are you crazy?! Just what are you thinking Baseline? I was gonna try and pull you out!"[/glow]

Epyon received the comm as he hobbled about in the air. He quickly tried to fly a bit higher so the reavers and gestalt could see before making a crash dive into the muck.

Just as Epyon dove in to the water, the Reaver Gestalt came stomping to a stop at the edge of the pool. He opened fired at the water, hoping to hit the Vice offocers.
Underwater, the other Vice officers managed to call Epyon over to where they were as huge laser blasts cut through the thick liquid.
Then the lasers stopped. It was quiet for a moment, until something jumped in to the pool, causing all the junk and over sized trash inside to crash in to each other, making waves in the pool.
The Reaver gestalt had jumped in. Only its legs were under the surface of the water. The vice boys could see that as well make out the gestalts hands at the top of the surface, moving large floating debrie out of the way as it looked for the autobots.

Epyon tried to keep as still as he could so the gestalt or any reavers couldn't see him.

Whilst huddled in the muck, Baseline went over some strategy with the team as he reloaded his chaff launchers.
[glow=navy,2,600]Switch to thermo on your optics boys and wait for the head to come into view. When it does I'll fire chaff to make it look up and expose the neck, then we all fire everything we got at the base of the neck joint and pop that suckers head off! If it works and the body stays intact I intend to get up there and turn that massive lump of Reaver scrap into a battering ram for Darkmount. Ready?[/glow] Popping out his wrist blasters and picking up his rifles again he saw the squad follow suit. With itchy trigger digits he waited for the right moment.

Epyon had his weapons ready while he had his internal systems change his view to thermo. He waited patiently for Baseline signal.

[glow=blue,2,300]It won't be enough...[/glow] Vice said shaking his head in the water to clear it. [glow=blue,2,300]We have one shot, and I dont think our weapon's fire is strong enough. We have to unite![/glow]
