Speed Trap saw the now transformed bot (from a greater distance now) in his rearview, and was about to report it, when a message came through on his laptop. The humans behind him, were still squirming, but safe. His holo character appeared to punch some info into the computer, then the message popped up. Text Message: Speed-Trap Cons have Fragment and Starscream has it. I have a bad feeling that this isnt going to end well. Please warn the others. End of Text Message. ~SLAG... wonderful~ he thought to himself. +COM+ "Speed Trap to Shipwreck and Tanda... we've got some problems..." he said, then continued, "Not only is the clown who is following me, chasing me in bot form now... Starscream has the fragment... I repeat, Starscream has the fragment... Please alert whoever needs to know." he finished. +COM+ He was almost to the docks now. ~I can't fight right now, i have to get to Shipwreck and protect these humans.~ he continued thinking to himself.

Tanda then said to Speed Trap 'Right, I'll send a one off message to Colonel Lansing. Ohhh, she will not like this'! He then sent a ecrypted message to the Altech HQ, with the message:
"ALTECH. THIS IS TANDA. THE DECEPTICONS HAVE THE ALLSPARK FRAGMENT IN THEIR HANDS. REPEAT, THE DECEPTICONS HAVE THE ALLSPARK FRAGMENT. REQUESTING INSTRUCTIONS".
Tanda then saw the bot that was chasing Speed Trap. She wanted to do something but not without causing a pileup on the motorway. Overhead, she still watched Speed Trap.

Shipwreck was fighting with the surrent, having to shuffle instead of taking booming steps like usual. The current, luckily, was in his favor at the moment, but with such a strong force that he had to tip toe hiw way to not fall over. He was leaning over slightly to balence himself out and it was more tiring then he thought it would be.
"Primus you're kidding!" He said threw comm accidentally, struggling with the current. "Wait... slag is the comm on?" He sighed frustratedly. "Well Speedtrap, hope he doesn't have any cannons or anything of the sort and keep trying. He can't keep it up forever. And if he does, he'll have a surprise waiting for him..."
He stumbled over to the docks, holding onto the wooden beams with both hands to steady himself. Slagging current! He hissed to himself. "SAGGIT I GIVE UP!" He roared to himself and he sat down. SPLASH. The water leaped out of his way just hih enough so Shipwreck could lean against the docks with the back of his neck and upper back. The sand however, didn't agree with him and slowly crept its way over and around his armour, making Shipwreck singly slowly into the sea bed.
~*-=-*~
Rythmius was following, and taking a few shrt cuts along the way. He knocked several things over, pushing past buildings, trees, and cars to keep up with the Autobot. He knew that he had passengers, and that he wouldn't let anything happen to them. Fools. He shifted Salvador to his other arm, carrying both instruments on one side and grabbed a large lampost as he passed by it. Holding it high like a javlin, he pulled back and threw it at Speedtrap. Salvador raised a little fist and shook it as Rythmius let go. "TAKE THAT!" He squeaked in musical notes, sounding like some foreign musical piece.

Then Tanda said 'Speed Trap, I'll come and delay that Decepticon. Prepare for me trying to land'. Then Tanda began to go low and suddenly, her wing hit a pylon for a sign and also hit multiple lights. She throught 'uh oh'. Then she transformed and put her feet on the highway, making a enormous mess of the concrete. But she then began to slow down and she began to try and balance herself while sliding across the highway.

The pole came at Speed Trap. He was able to get mostly out of the way, but it did take out his right side mirror.
~Well, better that than the humans~ he thought.
He heard Tanda, and saw her land behind him.
+COM+ "Thanks Tanda... I'll be right back." commed Speed Trap. +COM+
He was now at the docks, and he saw Sipwreck.
+COM+ "Shipwreck, I have a couple passengers for you... they need to be protected." he said. "Sorry, but their neighborhood was kind of... damaged by the decepticons." he said +COM+

Tanda then faced the Decepticon and blocked his way, saying 'You want Speed Trap, you go through me'. She didn't have any weaponry but she did have the environment to help her. She picked up a fallen light pole and held it like a sword.

Shipwreck shuffled around to face Speedtrap. He smiled. "Way ta go lad!" He stood up half way and transformed into his battleship mode. He silently prayed that the humans weren't watching, liek they blinked and looked away while he did. After all, he didn't want any passangers dying of heart attacks before they even got on! He dropped anchor, landing with a loud clinking splash to help hold him in place. "Aye Speedtrap, I don' mind 'olding them 'ere!"
~*-=-*~
Rythmius snorted in responce, his optics narrowing as he tried skidding to a stop as the Autobot landed in front of him several feet away. He huffed silently, his throat throbbing. He set Mars off to the side carefully, and set Salvador next to him on his feet. Then the Toyota truck turned to his opponent and frowned. Without even looking at Salvador, he spread his hands and smacked them together quietly.
Salvador jumped up and transformed, keys and armour folding back and forth into the form of a tenor saxophone, perfect for Rythmius yet ubnormally large for humans... They were both ready, yet Rythmius didn't move. For him, the opponent strikes first.. things seem to turn out better for him that way. So instead, he stared the Autobot down, fingers over the keypads.

Speed Trap hit the docks, and went to the ramp that went to the rear section of Shipwreck.
"Go, you'll be safe." said the holo-officer to the humans. After their day, they went along with it, and got out.
Once they were clear, Speed Trap skidded around and back down the ramp towards Tanda.
~Alright, Show-time.~ he thought.
He re-digitized to his 'black and white' cruiser form, but was still missing the mirror.
He continued on to go give aid to Tanda.

Then as the Decepticons prepared attacking, Tanda was getting scared. The terrible truth was that she wasn't a fighter. All she was, was just a mechanic. But the pole she had in her hands she began to try and make them see that it was a big mistake by swinging it around aggressively.

+++ COMM +++ Soundwave to Rythimus. Commander Shockwave demands an update, has the Autobot led you to the Autobot base of operations? +++ COMM +++

Rythmius had to stop and think. This Autobot would have to wait, or he could ask Salvador to do it. His brow furrowed and knitted together in frustration. This was really stressing. Frowning, he let Salvador on the ground and pointed a finger at him, then he tapped his comunicator a few times. The Tenor Sax nodded and scurried over to Mars who took his place. Rythmius smiled. 'That what he's good at...' He thought as he watched Salvador before picking up Mars, by now had transformed into alt mode.
Truning back to the Autobot, he attached Mars to his 'amplifier', making a heavy buzz as the sound was increased. But he had to go soft, he could tell by Mars' unease that he was still stinging from the roll over on the street. He raised the instrument up in the Autobots' direction, fingers hovering above the strings ready to pluck and unlease sound waves of fury!!!

Speed Trap raced back to aid Tanda.
~Hold on, I'm comin.~ thought Speed Trap to himself...
He sped on...
In the rush, he forgot where the street was.... being in vehicle mode, he couldn't see over the rooftops, and he didn't want to draw attention just yet...
A few more seconds and he'd find his new comrade.

Tanda stopped swinging the pole as she watched with curiousity of what the Decepticon in front of her was doing, then she realised that the Decepticon was using an amplifer, so she dropped the pole and put her hands on her ears, because the sound was getting unbearable.

Relentlessly, and seeing the Autobot covering her audio sensors Rythimus continued turning the volume up until it reached maximum. Wih an evil smile the Decepticon strummed a long hard and dangerously high note, the sound emanating out like a blast wave...

Windows around Speed Trap started to crack... He stopped for a second... There was a loud thumping, much like a bass pulse.
~Follow the noise.~ he thought, then peeled out.
He raced closer to the origin of the sound, his windows starting to crack...
A couple streets later, he rounded a corner and his windows shatterred.
He transformed into Bot mode, arming his weapons.
He was able to take two shots in Rythmius' direction with his blaster, before being knocked backwards by the sound waves.
"That's gonna hurt later." he said to himself, trying to get up.
