Moments passed, and the Decepticon warship blinked back into existence. Unknown to them however, it wasn't back over cybertron, not even in that system, or galaxy. Passing through both beyond time and space.
As the ship reappeared the surface of a planet filled the viewscreen, "We've entered too close inside a planets's orbit, we'll be crushed or pulled apart!" yelled Magnus as he tried to get his footing. Indeed the ship was being pulled down towards the planet, at a hurtling speed... Bits of armour plating began ripping of all over the war ship, thick smoke bellowed from the over-heated engines.. "What are we gonna do?!"

Jackal fought with the ship to keep it level.
Give the boosters everything they've got. If we are going to crash its better we come in at an angle then bottoming out.
Quickshot pushed Iceblaster aside. normally he would have left it up to him but this called for his intervention. quickshot ignited boosters on the bottom of the ship to keep the nose of the ship up.
Iceblaster, go find something and get strapped in.
with the boosters going helping jackal to keep the ship level he gave the rear thruster everything they had

Retroblazer gasped with shock as the ship winked back into existence- then gasped again, a deep, guttering sound, as a jolt of pain that didn't exist outward of his mind seared through him. He gritted his covered teeth as he battled silently with his combat protocol, using his iron will and sef control to repel the mental attack. He shook himself, then turned to Blastback. "Quickshot's right- we need to brace ourselves, get strapped in. This is going to be a biiig impact..."

"Then you'll die in the crash!", snapped Tyrannodon gleefully, "The Decepticons will have no part in this! To the escape pods!", turning, Tyrannodon wasted no time leaving for the pods followed by Harbringer and Vorja and anyone else that decided to follow.

That doesn't sound like such a good idea! Blastback shouted to retroblazer.
Blastback then turned to Tyrannodon.
You would like that wouldn't you?
He looks over to magnus.
I have to agree with lady Tyrannodon on this boss. He says to the boss bot.

Retroblazer cocked his head. "Fair enough. Magnus, I feel we must put aside our.... personal vendettas with the Decepticons and work for the greater good of our species. I believe we should take Tyrannadons advice and make for the escape pods."

Lord Tyrannodon had ignored BlastBack's ravings and carried on to the escape pods with those that followed. When they arrived there were several escape capsules, and so far the three of them - Tyrannodon, Harbringer and Vorja. They wasted not time and entered the pods, strapping themselves in. Within a few klicks they had ejected themselves from the ships, their pods - viewable on the viewscreen and heading down to the planet's surface..
"Quickshot report!", ordered Magnus.
The ship continued to descend at a very fast right and although the thrusters set in - both underneath and to the rear, it wasn't slowing down enough so far as it continued to drop. Great fiery vapours formed around the ship as it shook more violently and more armour plating fell off..
"Well Quickshot?", asked Iceblaster, a little narked he had been pushed out the way..

quickshot looked over the readings real fast and turned his head to magnus
It doesn't look good! It's not decelerating fast enough and is ripping apart. We may need to follow Tyrannodons lead.

"Agreed, everyone file out to the pods!"[/color", ordered Magnus, "Bloodsaw, Jackal - I'm glad you decided to stay with us and not go with the other Decepticons..." One by one ley left the bridge for the cargo bay but when they got there one last surprise remained..
"There's only four pods left now..", gasped Magnus, "And there are at least eight of us! Why are there so few escape pods on a Decepticon Warship!", spat Magnus as the ship began to plummet. "Some are either going to stay and take their chances or jump free from the ship...."

Retrobazer saluted Grand Magnus. "I will stay, and try my chances with the ship. I have caused you all alot of trouble under the influence of my combat protocol- give me this chance to redeem myself. I will steer the ship, to the best of my ability, clear of where you crash. I will then jump clear. In this way, I can at least hep you."

Jackal shook his head
We will stay. I know this ship better then most. maybe I can land it with the least amount of damage so that we can possibly repair it. It is the least I can do.
Jackal turned and motioned to Bloodsaw to follow, heading the the door to take them back to the bridge.
Bloodsaw looked at the escape pods then down to his lost arm. Ever since he lost it he has been no more help then a service drone. If he could comprehend his honor protocols kicking in he would have realized why he felt the need to stay, but his simplistic mind just chalked it up to Jackal being the highest ranked decepticon in the room, and followed his orders.

I'll stay too sir.I might be able to help in some way. Blastback said as he stood beside retroblazer.
Well old buddy it looks like we get to save the day. He says as he lightly taps retroblazer on the arm.

Retroblazer turned around, and patted his younger friend on the shoulder. "It looks like it, Blastback... looks like it... Let's go." He strode back towards the bridge...

Blastback followed the older bot.
I wonder who else is going to stay and help... He pondered out loud.

Cricket cleared his throat and sighed. His logic crashed brain wouldn't do much good if he lived anyway. There were much better minds out there.
He stepped forward, and towards the direction Retroblazer was striding off too. He grainned at the others. "I'll stay too, and probably grow some bright copper dasies while I'm at it...laadeedaa" He grinned with a somewhat childish grin. "Best of luck to you all!" He said with a wave.
Running, half sliding, he caught up to Retroblazer and Blastback. "Got any room fer a nother pair of hands?" He said while matching their strides. It was decided, for Cricket at least. He definitely wasn't as important to Magnus as the others were, they could have the pod, Cricket would do his best.
