(Arranged Fight between Me and Bomblast. Sorry to everyone else.) The second moon of Cybertron rose high over the wastelands that covered most of the Zarus province. For a second, a lone jet blotted it out, before it sank below a rocky outcrop. The jet began to shift, parts changing... And Geotron emerged from the rocks. The old mech looked happily at the plains stretching out before him, almost endlessly. A small smile crept over his lips. "Haven't been here in deca cycles... It's good to be back." A sudden screech of comm static broke the silence. "What the...?" [Transmission] Crz... Broadcasting on all Autobot frequencies... Crz... Reports coming in, possible Decepticon activ... Crark... village of Horizon. [Transmission Ends] Geotron stroked his chin. “Horizon... that’s pretty close by. Best check it out- it’ll be cycles before an Autobot gets there.” Transforming once again, Geotron sped off, flying low across the plains, keeping his comm open for any more chatter. “So much for a quiet few solar cycles in Zarus...”

Maelstrom was in the centre of Horizon. He was watching as the locals were working hard, but not hard enough for his liking. He shoved the nearest villager to him to the floor.
"Come on! Faster! I need as much Cybertonium shipment ASAP! If Megatron doesn't get this shipment, he wont be happy! And if he's not happy, I'm not happy! And if I'm not happy, you're dead! UNDERSTAND?!" He bellowed.
He smiled to himself as the locals started working faster.

Geotron continued his flight across the plains, until he could see that Horizon was maybe a click away. He knew that anyone that had even one eye on the sky would've seen him coming, but he didn't intend to spring on the village sword flailing- he wasn't going to engage until he knew the circumstances of the reports. He transformed about a click away from Horizon, and began to walk towards the outer limits of the village. He kept his sword sheathed and walked at a slow, measured pace. He was hoping that whoever was on the inside of the perimeter would be able to see him on his way, and, hopefully, be pleased to see him.

Maelstrom heard the sound of a jet approaching. He looked over in time to see it land some distance away. He grabbed a nearby villager.
"Who is that?!" He demanded angrily. "This area is supposed to be locked down!"
He growled as the villager remained silent. Maelstrom threw him aside and waited to see what was coming.

Geotron walked quietly into Horizon, passing a few frightened looking villagers on the way. Soon, he found himself in an open area, probably the village square, and spotted a hulking mech not to far away. He took in his size, the way he held himself, the strewn civilian. There was only one thing that sprung to mind. Decepticon. However, he'd promised himself he'd play it cool, and that was what he was going to do. He waved cheerfully at the big bot. From what he could tell, he was relatively skillfull and well armed, but cocky, cocky too. He'd be a tricky one to talk down. He spoke in a measured, calm, but jovial tone. "Evening, good sir! Got a moment? Been picking up some strange reports from this area, something about Decepticon activity. Wouldn't know anything about that... would you?"

Maelstrom looked at the newcomer. He was mildly concerned the he asked about any possible Decepticon activity. Maelstrom made no attempt to cover up the large purple insignia on emblazoned on his chest.
"What's it to you?"
He looked at a couple of villagers who stopped working.
"KEEP WORKING!!" He yelled.
He turned back to the newcomer.
"Shove off, we're busy."

Geotron shook his head sadly. "Mmm...hm. 'Fraid not, mister. You see, I'm not sure I like your tone. Or the weapons practically bristling from your back. Or the big Decepticon symbol on your chest." He flexed his fingers set his legs a little wider apart. "What say you take off now and we forget this whole thing? These are a peaceful people. They don't want any trouble. Neither do I. Nor, I'm assuming, do you. How about it?"

Maelstrom snarled.
"As long as they keep working, they wont get any trouble. And if you clear off, you wont get any trouble. Me, on the other hand..." He said, drawing his axe, "Well, I don't particularly mind either way."
Maelstrom crouched slightly, planting his feet firmly into the ground.
"I can only assume that because you don't the glorious insignia on my chest, that you're an Autobot. Never liked Autobots, always talking and debating when they need to take direct action."
With that, Maelstrom activated his thermo energy axe.

Geotron smiled was beginning to fade. "Mmm... hm. Well, I don't know the circumstances. I don't know what your motivations are. But I know you're a Decepticon, and you're using slave labour as the means to your ends. And I'll be honest, mister... I'm not a fan of slave labour. I've seen enough of it over the years, and I'm getting kind of sick of it. So I suggest you leave now. Because you really don't want to fight me. I will not be responsible for my actions if you chose to ignore me." Slowly, very, very slowly, he began to reach with great care for his sword...

Maelstrom smirked. Then he chuckled. Then he started laughing loudly. He banged his free hand against his Decepticon insignia.
"My my, you Autobots really do have powerful senses of perception. I never would have figured you'd guess I'm a Decepticon!" He roared with laughter before turning deadly serious. "You should be the one to back off. You don't want to fight me. You've obviously never heard of Maelstrom."

Geotron's smile had all but faded. Playing it cool was all well and good, but enough was enough. He'd given the arrogant Decepticon a chance, and he'd blown it. Now, he was going to make him go, or stop him outright. He had no problem with that. The Con had battered away the proffered hand of peace and now he was going to get a swift fist from the balled hand of violence. "I've heard of everyone who's worth knowing about, 'Maelstrom'. And you've just ignored me for the last time, you miserable slaver." And in a lightning motion, Shadowflare was out, Geotron was in a coiled stance, and he was clearing the ten paces between him and Maelstrom...

Maelstrom was suprised that his opponant had actually charged him. In a surprising show of agility, Maelstrom dodged his attacker and hit him with the handle of his axe. Maelstrom backed up a couple of steps.
"Good. You're a warrior. This ought to be fun."
With that, Maelstrom charged, preparing to swing his axe with his full strength.

OOC: Really sorry for the huge wait, been seriously busy with school recently. Geotron was caught glancingly by the blow to his back and went down. He rolled onto his feet, and sprang from this foetal position to standing, turning to see the axe whirring towards him. He raised Shadowflare, almost lazily to the untrained eye, but every muscle in his arms stiff, to connect with the axe. "That the best you got? After all the bravado, I expected more."

Maelstrom took a step back as his axe connected with Geotron's sword. He swung his axe in a series of graceful arcs, partly showing off and partly to confuse and misdirect Geotron.
"As if I would use my best straight away, especially on someone like you!"
With that, Maelstrom swung his axe another three times at Geotron.

Geotron watched the spinning axe, finding no trouble in following it's arcs. When it finally came down, he blocked the first strike with an angled parry, beat the next out of the way, and tried to sidestep the last, but was a fraction of a second too slow and the blade grazed his armor. He grunted slightly as he gripped Shadowflare in two hands and took a swipe at Maelstrom's side, unprotected after his last onslaught...
