Onix and D-Fib turned a corner and came to a massive door. No control panel in site to open it. The pipes went into the wall, it was pratically a dead end. D-Fib even knocked on the door, it was as solid as the walls. However, the humming of what could be a generator came from the other side of the door. It was heard best where the pipes and the wall met.
*********
As Roadtrain and Hypershot continued to watch, they saw OCF flyers chasing after two flying objects that darted about in the sky in a zig zag motion. A quick exchange of shots were traded with 3 OCF flyers being taken down.
The two object flew over the surveliance station in pursuit. Roadtrain would recognize them as Funcrusher and D-Stroy.
Meanwhile....
As most were focused on the confusion up above, a squad of OCF officers came across something left at the statue of Atlas...

+++COMM+++ "Looks like Hoist and Latyrx7 have given us a little surprise. We now have air support! Funcrusher, D-Stroy. See if you can take out that surveillance station." +++COMM+++
D-Fib grinned as she received Roadtrain's COMM message.
+++COMM+++ "We followed some pipes, and we've reached a door, but it's a dead end. The door is almost like another wall." +++COMM+++

Onix growled
"I told him to request some explosives, damn. Maybe the doors are held with electrical motors. An EMP might knock them out and allow the doors to slide open......."
Onix crashed his shoulder into the door to test is solidity

D-Fib rolled her optics and shook her head.
"Head thicker than your armour...." She muttered. "Even Roadtrain would have difficultly slamming through that door."
D-Fib pulled out an EMP grenade and tossed it to Onix.
"You're the demolitions expert, you have the honours." She grinned. "If we're lucky, the EMP might knock out the generator that's in there."

Onix looked the door up and down
"Probably not. We will be lucky if the EMP gets through to the motors."
Onix stuck the charge to the door and rigged it up to go when he used his detonator
"I suggest that we move away. don't want to get knocked out by the deflection."

Roadtrain's comlink came to life. ***COM***'Roadtrain! This is Funcrusher! This isn't exactly what you think it good buddy! We have a message from command! What's your location?'***COM***
As the aerialgades spoke to Renegades, the squad of OCF troops investigating Atlas' statue made a gruesome discovery. They quickly realized that the head belonged to Stinger and read the message. They picked up the head and ran for Pointblank.
********
Onix and D-Fib took cover and activated the EMP. It went off (and a few OCF officers directly above them on the surface suddenly went to sleep) and had no effect on the door. The humming continued.

+++ COMM+++ "This is Driveby, I'm stuck in a crowd of slaves... Wait I see an OCF officer ahead, I better cut communications.." +++ COMM+++
Driveby pushed his way through the slaves, the look or war-torn and sorrow was plastered all over their faces. Mouths ajaw at the stranget, they just looked tired and defeated already as the Renegade made his way through, as he did he was spotted by the OCF officer.
"Hey, hey you there! Where do you think your going stranger, common move it along!", protested the officer.
Driveby kept moving directly towards the officer now, keeping optic to optic and not twitching once as moved in, pushing past more slaves. Slowly he reached around the back for his thermo energon sword..
"You got something for me buddy?!", growled the officer and brought out his electro-static nightstick, "oh yeah! C'mon bring it baby!
But just then more slaves got in the way between Driveby and the officer, making the OCF bot anxious ad Driveby continued to push towards him, eventually grabbing the bot by the neck and pulling him towards him as the crowd betwen them dispeares slowly.
""Give it your best shot wise-...", before he could finish a look of horor and twisted shock spread of his face as he felt a sudden pain, as he pulled back he could feel something in him, something hard and metal and burning. The OCF bot tried to back up a step but as he did he looked down seeing the thermo energon sword Driveby had snuck into his torso. As he looked back up at the Renegade, Driveby moved in closer again and thrust the sword further in and now directionally up. The optics of the OCF filled with fire and rage before staggering back and collapsing.
With the OCF bot down, the crowd spread out in shock looking between the body and Driveby. "Go! Your free!!", the others stood around and just gaped blankly, "Don't you understand me? You're FREE! This reign of slavery is OVER!" The bots look at each other and admist high mumblings began to turn and just slowly walk away..
"Hey you! Stop right there!"
Another two OCF bot's began running towards him, Driveby swung rund pulling his small blaster out and levelled out shooting one between the optics. Down and out. The other he fired a round of at the bot as several thunked towards his chest, sinking holes into his torso armour, but he kept coming. "I said stop right there!"
Before he knew it, the OCF officer had drawn his weapon and shot Driverby in the shoulder and a few across his chest. Dropping his blaster he unexpectedly ran towards the officer, still with thermo energy sword in one had and before the bot could react, Driveby sliced his gun holding hand off and without hesitating, as the bot looked on at his wrist in horror and then Driveby slumped down to the ground. The lst thing he saw was the blade of the thermo enegy sword swing by his neck...
+++COMM+++ "Driveby to Roadtrain. All clear, I had some trouble but I'm on my way." +++COMM+++
Walking back to collect his small weapon, he holstered it and his sword and began to run off, transforming after a few steps and kicking up the dirst as he drove off leaving the slaves behind.
OOC: Feel free to just add me as arriving anyone as I was delayed. need to catch up.

Roadtrain spotted Driveby approached. He held up a hand to indicate silence.
+++COMM+++ "Driveby, Pointblank is just over there. We're about to take him down. Funcrusher, sending you our co-ordinates. What's the message from command?" +++COMM+++
D-Fib frowned as the door didn't budge.
"We'd better get out of here. That EMP charge might have knocked out something on the surface."

***IC***'Position recieved. Me and ol' D-stroy won't give away your position but since were here we'll help! Umm, as well as we can!***IC***
The two turbocopters had a squad of OCF flyers after them. They kept away from the other Renegades not to give away their position or bomb them by mistake.
***IC***'Renegade command sent in a couple of agents to take down a couple of OCFs. News flash, they ain't ex-Autobots! Ex-mercenaries, crinimals, guns for hire! What I'm saying is, kill at will! Renegade command has given the order to let loose!***IC***
As Funcrusher finished his message, the squad that found Stinger's head brought it to Pointblank. The Targetmaster froze in horror at the sight of his former command. 'I command that this place is tore until you find the rest of his body! And bring me the ones that did this I want them alive!!"
Pointblank was then seen speaking into his comlink.

Onix walked up to the door and looked it over
"I could get through this in a minute with one charge. Check the walls, maybe there is a hidden access panel or something. If anything, we cut these pipes and see if it make whatever is behind that door stop. Should get someone's attention."

Pointblank was far from done. He saw a OCF trooper close to the surveillance control room. 'You there! I'm making this area my command station but first, secure the area.'
As Pointblank relayed Atlas' orders to the OCF, the trooper in the command booth took over and began to check all the cameras he could. After a quick reset, on one of his moniters, he something that shouldn't have been there. 'Sir! To your left! A slave, many a rebel!'
Pointblank looked in the direction where Roadtrain, Hypershot, Driveby and their helper Xjar was. He saw nothing but, 'Blastmaster transform!'
The small transformer did as order, transformed into a gun and landed in his partner's hand. Instantly he open fired. Too fast to do much but move out of reflex, the Renegade ducked as the laserbolts flew from Pointblank and tore through Xjar's upper body. The young robot was lift off his feet and landed behind Hypershot.
'Don't know if I hit it, but then again I never miss. Collect whatever it was and bring it here if it's still alive. I'm going to question that piece of scrap to find out where the rest of his rebel friends are. And will someone shoot those copters down already!'
The surveillance cameras only saw Xjar's dead body and told the OCF troops where it was for pick up.

D-Fib looked at the pipes and cocked her head. She pulled out a portable scanner and began checking the pipes.
"Erm. Onix. If you want to cut the pipes, go ahead, just let me get well away from here. Yes, cutting the pipes could do some damage....To everything nearby, including us!"
She began scanning the rest of the area to find a way past the door.
Roadtrain growled as he looked at Ajar's* corpse.
+++COMM+++ "Alright Renegades! You heard Funcrusher! Stun 'em and get back to a safehouse, grab your regular weapons and shoot to kill!!" +++COMM+++
With that, Roadtrain moved from behind cover, launching an EMP grenade directly at Pointblank. He then started firing with the heavy blaster. He was damn determined to take out each and every one of them if he could.
((* OOC - Is it Ajar or Xjar? It seems to have changed over the last few posts.))

Onix heard the com and decided it was time to give this up.
"D-Fib, find the nearest manhole and get topside. I'll follow but I'm cutting these before I bug out."
The two canons his back moved up and then folded down on his shoulders, aimed towards the pipe
"These'll do the trick."

D-Fib stepped between Onix and the pipes.
"I don't think you understood me. Blow these pipes, and no medic in the galaxy will be able to put you back together. The only place you'll be going is a scrapyard."

Onix looked D-Fib in the optics for a second
"Fine, I got an idea. Take the ammo out of my canons will you? I'll rig'em up with an EMP charge and detonate it remotely. Take out the pipe and we can get clear, better?"
He turned around as the canons raised and lowered back onto his back. Two compartments on them opened up, revealing the ammunition packs.
"They are a bit hard to reach."
