Incedius stayed in close formation as much as he could, arm cannons raised slightly in readiness. He turned for a second to Roadtrain and smiled stiffly. "This is it, then? Here we go." It wasn't that he was nervous. On the contrary, he was very confident of their chances. But it felt like this was just the lull before the storm. He felt like a huge weight was hanging over the group. They'd travelled in silence most of the way, and though Incendius was no moral officer, he new when the team was tense. Time for the action he'd been craving- but now he had it, he wasn't sure he wanted it.

Metalingus began to provide cover fire for the team to get out, taking shots from high down at the OCF still moving about. ++IC++ "Come on guys move i'll watch your exit" ++IC++

As the ground team made their way towards Atlas' tower, they began to see where the bulk of Atlas' forces where now stationed. Around the tower, a think wall made of steel surrounded was spread around the tower. The wall was think enough to allow guards to patrol the top of the walls and allow stationed sentry posts, with contained gun turrets and guards to man each weapon station. Within the wall, a inner compound laid that was large enough for large machinery, such as ground and airborne transport vehicles to park. Along the walls and inside the compound, OCF troops moved equipment and personal to guard the tower. Renegade reinforcements outside of the wall, were engaged with the OCF guards who prevented them from getting near the steel barrier to even attempt getting over. The gun turrets, each with rapid fire capabilities, laid down a merciless rain of laser bolts. Renegade forces tried to use the surrounding area of buildings as cover, but soon discovered that the buildings didn't help much as the laser bombardment tore through the unarmored walls of the public structures. Renegade reinforcements were being pushed back as the OCF stood their ground. Roadtrain's team began to see other Renegades, who were holding the fall back position. Wounded Renegades were being treated to as their battle functional comrades fought on the receding front line. ****** Uplink and Quickshot, being closest to the door, were the first ones to see the outside and where it lead to. The soon realized they were in a compound full of transport vehicles for ground, air and space travel. Along with the vehicles were fuel cells, tankers, equipment for re-fueling and repairs and also technicians and OCF guards. The massive door opening brought attention to it and some of the personal saw Uplink and Quickshot. Though they didn't know what to make of the two, the sound of a battle going on and the loud crash that was the Omega Guard falling down, was enough to alert the OCF guards to the situation. As Deadbolt and Hardstrike were laying down cover fire, OCF guards began from outside began to head for the door. The science team then heard on a frequency the Renegades use... +++COMM to Science team+++ "Science team, this is Roadtrain. We're on our way to Atlas's tower. Renegade Command sent in some reinforcements. What is your situation?" +++COMM+++ [/b][/color][/quote] From inside the factory, Atlas raised up off the floor. He looked at the Omega guard that had just fallen on top of his troops and his bodyguard Neuroblade. In anger, he raised his heavy blaster and aimed for the airborne Renegades Metalingus and Computic. With a series of well aimed shots, Atlas fired on each Renegade and his laser blasts made contact. Metalingus was shot on the underside of his vehicle form while Computic took a blast to his wing. The badly damaged Computic spun out of control and crashed just outside of the door, inbetween Uplink and Quickshot and the advancing OCF guards. Activating his comlink, Atlas then raised his blaster to rally his troops, "Attention of OCF! This is your ruler Atlas. Enemy forces have pentrated the compound via the factory enterance and are located in the transport compound. Elimate with extreme prejuice! Attention Control Hub, code 66: Release the Omega Guard on to the city!'Meanwhile.... The Omega Guard that tried to destroy Hardstrike and Incognito, saw the two Renegades firing up at him. The massive robot raised it's arms and it's forearm canons began to open fire at the two Renegades. The pair leapt out of the way behind a large engine, but a laser bolt hit a shelving unit behind Incognito, causing it to fall on him. Incognito's internal systems began to sort themselves out after the hard hit he had taken with the shelving unit had knocked him out. He looked around and realized where he was. He saw a fallen Omega Guard not too far from him and Atlas yelling at more of OCF troops who were running and firing towards the massive factory doors. 'This, doesn't look so good....'

Roadtrain cursed quietly when he saw Atlas's defenses. He halted his team and instructed them to get out of sight. He turned his head and glared at Blastmaster.
"Pretty vital piece of information you left out there."
He took a quick look at the defensive perimeter around the tower. He turned to his team.
"Ok, slight change of plan. Driveby, I want you to take out two or three of those gunners up on the wall. I want a decent size hole in their area of fire. Incendius, you, Hypershot, Tomboy and D-Fib, I want you to take out some of those troops on the ground. Onix, you're with me. We help Incendius' group until there is a decent gap in their firepower, then we transform, drive up to the wall and you plant some charges while I cover you."
+++COMM to all nearby Renegades+++ "This is Roadtrain. If there are any snipers out there, focus your fire on the gunners, then start picking off the ground troops. If anyone is able to plant some explosive charges on the wall, do it, but not at the risk of yourself. If there are any flyer units out there, we could do with a couple of strafing runs, just to distract them." +++COMM+++
Roadtrain looked at his team.
"Ready?"
Deadbolt was backpedalling towards the newly opened door while laying down some covering fire. He ducked as a laser bolt narrowly missed his head.
+++IC+++ "Computic, Metalingus. Talk to me guys. +++IC+++
+++COMM+++ "Roadtrain?! Good to hear you! Things are looking...Grim. Atlas tried to kidnap us and make us slaves, we're stuck in a factory surrounded by OCF. We've taken out a half built Guardian Robot and Computic managed to floor a couple Omega Guard. These things are tough! Computic and Metalingus are injured, I don't know how badly. Atlas has just shouted something about releasing the Omega Guard into the city. Keep an eye out for them, avoid them if possible!" +++COMM+++

Hardstrike tried to use the wall for cover but between the snpers, the armaments and the OCF troops things were looking pretty bleak as he scoped round the side of the wall and caught a shot in the back of his shoulder and quickly withdrew back again. "UGH! They've got more armamanets, gun placements and OCF's than we've got Renegades! We'll get slaughtered out here!", uttered the Renegade.
Driveby looked for cover, he loved the dirty jobs.
OOC: What else is around the outside of the wall for cover? I imagine it's like a well armed Great Wall of China and all the towers inside and everything else.

Onix took cover and readied his weapons
"Finally, something that call for my expertise."

"I'm beginning to wish the doors hadn't opened." muttered Uplink to Quickshot.
She quickly got up and drew her short sword, delivering a couple of swift and cripplingly accurate slashes to the advancing OCF guards before switching her sword for a light blaster and doubling back. She slowly dragged the injured Computic to some nearby cover. "Are you alright? Do you think you are still able fight?"
----------
"Got it Roadtrain!" replied Hypershot with a grin. He dove for the nearest hole ridden wall and returned fire to the OCF with avengance. Enjoying the thrill of watching the results of his continued target practice finally come to fuition.

The shot from Atlas hit Metalingus on his underside and he began to lose momentum in the air. He quickly checked his onboard systems and realised his injury had caused one of engines to drop to less than half of its capabilities. (OCC: I'm assuming underside + shot at = one engine bad yes?)
He quickly tried land near some cover before he was shot at.

OOC: Back-up troops with permission. All initial name mentions, link. Driveby headed for an old bunker just outside the city walls, burnt out and derelict it made for ideal cover and also a good place to set up. As he dived behind the bunker shots rung out behind him, barely missing him. Piking himself up of the floor he sat on the metallic floor and pulled out his sniper riffle and muzzle and added the extension, then carefully screwed the barrel round onto the end before attaching the shoulder rest and long range handle. With his weapon set, he set it to charge as he got up and began to rest the rifle on the fragmented edges. The rifle made a light pwer charge humm as it charged up.. Lining the top end of the weapon to his head, Driveby's visor automatically reverted upwards, revealing his optics which he put to the back of the scope as he made out his target, seeing the wall and following it up to the towers, seeing the gunners. The gun scoped up, up the tower onto the gunner's weapon and further up to the user behind it, tracing it's way up the torso to the chest, the neck and then the head. As it came to rest between the warrior's optics, Diveby took the shot and watched as the the head flew back and the gunner disappeared from sight. Slowly he scoped over to the others and repeated the process picking off the others as ordered.. Elsewhere more of the Renegade Calvary turned up as a black APC carrier led a silver 1991 Toyota FJ80 Landcruiser - who had obviously been to Earth at some point, a 4 x 4 Toyota Supra, and a standard size (Shockblast-esq) mobile defence unit in military green camouflage colours. A red and yellow flamed Cybertronian cyber-car - very old and a two headed dragon a relic from some beast wars supported from the air. The silver 1991 Toyota FJ80 Landcruiser began driving crazily evasive as he tried to evade shots from behind the Tower's walls. "Yeeeehaw! Just like shooting ducks of a pond!""Settle down Soulseeker!", scathed the black APC carrier as he transformed and pulled out his heavy blaster and sword, "And watch that crossfire!". Nostramo looked for cover while overhead the two-headed dragon, Dragar, and the red and yellow cyber-car, Flame attacked the untis iside the compound of the tower from the air. Shots reigned from the sky and from the towers as the full on battle enraged, the 4 x 4 Toyota Supra - still in alt mode was cut down and blown into a shell by the laserfire and burned as a hulking wreckage on the battlefield. "Nooooo! Steelcage!""Nostramo! Steelcage just bought it! This is a no-win battle here!", reported Flame. +++ COMMS +++ "Well there goes my no-claim bonus for scrap recycling!" +++ COMMS ++++++ COMMS +++ "Concentrate, Dragar! You could be next! +++ COMMS +++ warned Nostramo Flying though the air, Flame flew through the air acrobatically, repeatedly firing of his heavy ion canon at the front of his alt mode. Dragar shot not a flame, but a medium laser bolt from each dragon head as he flapped around as the two poured it on..

Roadtrain watched as one of the gunners on the wall slumped and fell from his position.
"Driveby's in position. Time for us to make our move."
With that, Roadtrain gave the order for his team to attack. He broke cover and ran for some cover nearer the action, ducking into the ruined front of some sort of store. He popped out of cover and began firing at a nearby OCF agent. He ducked behind the wall as a laser bolt burned past his right arm.
D-Fib left cover shortly after, not being the first or last to move. She made a run for a gutted building and slid inside. She remained in the prone position and crawled to a spot where she could see some OCF. She lined up a shot and opened fire.
Deadbolt made his way over to the door Uplink had opened. He cursed when he saw the OCF on the other side. He cursed again when he saw where Computic was.
+++IC+++ "Awh slag it. Someone give me some covering fire, need to get Computic back." +++IC+++
Deadbolt shouldered his weapon and opened fire on the OCF approaching Computic while making his was towards his fellow Renegade.

Incendius chased Hypershot as he charged forward through the wall. "Hypershot, damn you, stay back! We need to stick in a group! D-Fib and Tomboy, close on my position!" He threw his legs out in front of him and slid behind the same wall as his comrade, stretching his right arm cannon out in front of him, and bending his left arm back: one for range, one for precision, just how he'd always been taught. He peeked out of cover for just a moment and took a few well placed shot at the OCFs, hoping that Roadtrain and Onix would blow a hole in the wall for the Renegades to fall back to sooner than later...

Uplink waved over to Deadbolt as he approached. She had stood up again and drawn her short sword and was now defending the injured Computic as he lay in the cover she had dragged him to. She was quickly wearing down and could already feel the sword getting heavier in her hands.
------------
"Aww cool it. I didn't go far." Hypershot said playfully grinning as he shot at the OCF's. A shot flew over his head and he ducked in reponse. Looking back towards where the shot was heading before looking back. "Whoa" He said grinning in relief before turning his attention back.

The OCF that stood on top of the wall seemed to be aware of a sniper that was making quick work of their gunners. As Driveby would pick off one gunner, another OCF would take the heavy blaster. But Driveby made the OCFs worried about losing their heads, staying behind cover more the usual.
The shots fired at the advancing team of Renegades were speratic with Driveby's cover fire working it's magic. Tomboy saw an opening. 'Roadtrain! Opening at point dealt 6.4, I'm going in!'
Tomboy rushed in all guns blazing. Then in an attempt to draw enemy fire, she transformed into her vehicle mode and began to drive towards the wall and then cut left to distract the OCF agents now trying to shoot her.
*******
As Uplink defended the hurt Computic, as Hardstrike and Quickshot was firing away at advancing OCFs, as Deadbolt ran into save his comrade and Metalingus tried to find some where to rest while attending to his injuries, something odd happened.
All the OCF troops and all of Atlas forces began to leave the area. The shooting stopped as each OCF backed off from the escaping Renegades.
Computic's head the jerked up. 'Gang, I'm intercepting a transmission... Uplink look out!'
Computic got up and ran at the fembot and tackled her as a powerful laser bolt flew through the space where Uplink had been standing. From inside the factory, where the laser bolt had come from, the sight of the gestalt tall Omega Guard could be seen advancing towards them. Atlas was right behind them with a squad of OCF troops. 'Tear this compound apart until you find those Renegades, and bring me their heads I want them offline!'
From inside the factory, watching the show with a backstage view, Incognito hid as he radioed his fellow Renegades. *IC*'This is Incogniot. Anyone read me? I'm in the factory watching Atlas' show from the back!'

Dragar and Flame saw of the last of the advancing OCF troops who fired in retaliation as they left blasting a hile through Dragar's wing and sending him off balance and retreating towards the ground.
"Sloppy...", remarked Flame to himself and continued the suppressing covering fire on the troops as they retreated. Below Dragar had Transformed and unsheathed his two swords.
+++ COMMS +++ This is hardstrike, you comfy Incognito? Cos some of us are getting slaughtered out here! Tell me you've got some useful information?!,,," +++ COMMS +++
Nostramo, Soulseeker and Lomax - the mobile defence unit, regrouped. Scanning ahead, Lomax saw the Guardian and transformed into his alt mode and began powering up his main weapon as he targeted the chest. The three "pads" around the particle cannon began to draw up the Energon making the solar like panels glow up before the Energon channels through the three conductors, ready to fire. All he would need is one good shot, but his range was not good, Slowly he trundled forward towards the factory...

Incognito advanced forward, still behind Atlas and his OCF squad with the three Omega Guards walking out of the massive factory doors. *IC* 'Want me to useful? Then don't leave me behind when I'm knocked out! All I can see from here is, hold on....'*IC* Incognito watched as Atlas seemed to be over looking the situation in the compound. The leader of Omega city then look in three separate directions. Each of the three Omega Guards chose a direction and began to walk that way. Atlas then spun around and looked back into the factory. Incognito thought for a second that Atlas had some how sensed him, but when another Omega Guard stirred online and began to walk towards the exit, Incognito knew it was something else.
*IC* 'Hardstike. I have a hunch that Atlas is controlling these thing remotely!'*IC*
