Swift cursed. He'd thought he would have got in a lucky shot or two on the cannon operator. He began charging towards the cannon when he looked up and saw the Seekers.
"I'm going to see if I can lend a hand upstairs. Those 'Cons are getting too cocky up there."
He took a couple more running steps before jumping, activating his hover ability and rising up. As he rose, he transformed and took off, ready to hunt down some Seekers.
Torque, meanwhile was aproaching the other side of the cannon. He got a Decepticon in his sights and opened fire with his machine guns before slamming into the Decepticon. He quickly arrived near Retroblazer's position, skidding to a halt and turning. He transformed as he did, spinning a full 360 degrees, finishing in an attack pose with his blade deployed.
"How's it going over here?" He asked.

Retroblazer watched Max Convoy bark commands and move for the Decepticos on the cannon. He was about to follow, but noticed a small figure move close. He grinned internally as he saw Torque pull up and transform. Pulling the pump-action on his shogun again, he made a charge for the last 'Cons along with Max, beckoning for Torque. "Move in. I've got your back." Turning, he checked behind to make sure they were not being followed by any other foot soliders, then followed on, covering his two comrades attacking at close range.

Torque grinned and sprinted after Retroblazer as he made his charge. He easily caught up with the larger Autobot and over-took him. Torque set his sights on the largest Decepticon he could see, easily taller than himself. He started zig-zagging as he approached the Decepticon, avoiding the incomming weapon fire. A couple of shots grazed his shoulder as he slid between the Decepticon's legs. He lashed out at one leg with his blade, but missed.
As Torque emerged from underneath the Decepticon, he rolled onto his left hand and feet. As quickly as he could, he jumped at the Decepticon and landed on his lower back. He climbed up and wrapped his left arm around the 'Con's neck and held on for dear life as the 'Con tried to dislodge him. Torque began hacking and slashing at the 'Con's right arm.
+++COMM+++ "Raider 3, wanna take this big guy out after I soften him up a little?" +++COMM+++
Swift, once at a decent altitude, found himself behind the Seekers. He opened fire on them with his machine guns, firing in short controlled bursts. He didn't plan on taking them all on, just splitting them up a little. It was then that he spotted Valkyrie.
+++COMM+++ "Raider 9, need a hand?" +++COMM+++
Swift sped up to full speed, tracking a heavily armoured Seeker who was obviously no match for him in terms of speed. Swift caught up with ease and got into position above the Seeker. He transformed and deployed his club, activating his hover ability to stabilise himself. As he fell towards the ground, he swung his club, smashing the Seeker's wing.
Swift transformed again, having fallen back slightly. He pulled back up so he was behind the damaged Seeker and fired another missle. The Seeker erupted into a ball of fire, that Swift promptly flew through. He was down to roughly a quarter of his machine gun ammo, and had three homing missiles left.

Paraphus, who had been watching in gruesome fascination and horror from the safety of his shield, finally remember he had a gun.
He started trying to take out the confused ground forces before they could try to get to the cannon to help defend it.
"DOWN you go" he said with a secret grin after slamming a con on the head with his hammer.

Retroblazer was none to pleased to see the bigger Decepticon's shots clip Torque, and for a moment, as Torque slid between the large bot's legs, he thought that his friend had gone down. Raising his shotgun to blow the 'con away, he saw Torque spring up behind him and leap onto the towering mech, slashing at his arms. Chuckling slightly, he responded to the comm. ++COMM-TORQUE++ "Leave it to me, Raider 5." ++END COMM++ Hey big guy! Pick on someone your own size!" Picking the pace up, he ran in for a pointblank shot, and let off the last two shells in the chamber, before using the momentum from his sprint to turn his shoulder into a battering ram.

Torque grinned when he heard Retroblazer over the COMM. He pulled his feet up and planted them on the Decepticon's shoulders. He then released his grip on the 'Con's head and pushed off with his feet. He somersaulted backwards and transformed, landing in his vehicle mode. He sped off just as he heard Retroblazer's shots.
He sped back towards Retroblazer and pulled a powerslide behind the other Autobot, transforming mid turn. He deployed his sniper rifle and took aim at the nearest foe to him. He fired three shots and a Decepticon fell to the floor with three holes in his torso.
Swift continued flying around and harassing the Seekers.

Paraphus shot twice at a decepticon at close range from behind.
+++COMM+++ Urh... I'm... Doing okay. Thanks. You? +++COMM+++
He looked up at the dogfight going on, grinned happily and decided he liked comm links.
He lurched forward as gunfire found its way into his back then had a fright as a Decepticon jumped onto his back and tried to get a dead shot at his head. Terrified, Paraphus ran headlong into a large piece of debry. The impact sent the decepticon flying over the debry and onto the ground on the other side. Paraphus steadied himself, rubbing his helm before transforming and taking out the 'Con with his tank cannon.

Retroblazer heard the brief exchange over the comms, and turned to see Paraphus grappling with one of the ground troops. Turning to Torque for a moment, then Paraphus, the Torque again, he made a decision. He shouted over to Torque. "Rendezvous with Max Convoy and eliminate the tank operator, Raider 5! I'm going to help Paraphus!" Reloading his weapon, he slid down the side of the cannon and sprinted out across the open ground towards he lone comrade, sending out comms as he did. ++COMM-SWIFT++ "Raider 9, not that you're aren't busy up there, but do me a favor and keep the seekers off my back for a second!" ++COMM-PARAPHUS++ Paraphus! This is Retroblazer! Thought you could use a hand! +END COMM++ Firing two scatter shells, he pulled an energon grenade from his belt, set it to heal, and rolled it across the ground towards the (now transformed) Paraphus, counting the clicks as it was about to set off. "Three.. two...one..."

Valkyrie swerved out of the way of the seeker as it's right wing blew off, and was now headed to the ground.
The Seekers were still in semi-formation heading for the cannon.
The Com from Swift came through.
+COM to Raider 6-Swift+
"Sure... there's Four left, you take the two on the left, I'll get the two on the right." She responded.
+COM+
She was about to switch to her missile for her two when Retroblazer's Com came through.
+COM to Raider 3-Retroblazer+
"All right... Me and Six got 'em." she responded.
+COM+
It only took her a moment to figure out what to do.
+COM to Raider 6-Swift+
"All right... new plan... We need to lead them away from the cannon... follow my lead." She said.
+COM+
Desperate times, call for desperate measures.
She jetted just above the two seekers she was going to take out.
"Betcha can't catch me!" she said, as she tapped both of them with her wing tips.
And predictably, as soon as she jetted past them, they pursued.

Swift sent an acknowledgment to Retroblazer and Valkyrie and took off after the two Seekers pointed out to him by Valkyrie. He got himself into position behind them and fired a small burst from his machine guns, mostly to attract their attention, and then flew full speed and blew past them. He hoped that they were slower than he was, like the Seeker he took down earlier.
Torque climbed as quickly up the cannon as he could. Once he was at the top, he started advancing towards Max Conoy's position. He deployed his sniper rifle and checked each side of the cannon as he moved, trying to spot, and maybe snipe, the cannon operator.

As the Autobots under his command had been dealing with the Decepticons on the canon, Max Convoy had his hands full.
One of the canon guards had smashed Max's rifle with a energon melee weapon. Momentarily weaponless, Max dodged the swipes from the Decepticon, intent on impaling Max. It wasn't until Powerplay showed up that the scales were tipped.
Powerplay jumped up on the canon and used the end of his repeater to smash the Decepticon attacking Max on the back of the head. The Decepticon fell forward, giving Max just enough time to bring out his Energon Hammer and to finish off his foe by crushing the Decepticon's chamber chamber with a strong, decisive blow to the mid-section. The two Autobot's moved on to the canon operator.
Max Convoy and Powerplay rushed the canon operator, who was in between the canon controls and the still energized shield. The Decepticon tried to bring his weapon about to fire on the Autobots, but Max bought his hammer down on the Decepticon's forearm, destroying it completely. Powerplay then stepped in and forced the crippled Decepticon against the energon shield.
Max looked over the canon controls. 'He's set the controls to open fire on the Ark. Powerplay, ask him on to cancel the program.'
Powerplay, with his repeater under the Decepticon's chin, enforced his commander's order. 'You heard the boss, how do we shut it down!'
'Go to oblivion!' Responded the Decepticon.
'Fine. We'll do it our own way. Powerplay, retire him.' Commanded Max. Powerplay then fired his weapon at point blank range while still under the Decepticon's chin, sending energon liquid and brain matter scattering across the energon shield, just before the power to the shield ran out, causing everything that was once a robot's head to fall to the ground.
Powerplay then began to fire at the any Decepticon that tried to get a shoot at the pair of Autobots. 'I sure hope you have a plan boss! Whatever it is your doing, do it fast!'
'The plan was to eliminate the canon. No matter the consequences, it will be done.' Max's statement was accented with the beeping of a detonator charge that Powerplay knew all to well. Strapped to the canon, the pair has 30 astro-seconds to get clear.
'Ah Slag! Fire in the hole!' Yelled Powerplay as he jumped of the canon and transformed to tank mode when he hit the ground.
Max turned on his comlink to inform every Autobot to stay clear of the canon. ***COMLINK*** All Raiders, the canon is about to blow, repeat, the canon is about to blow! Get clear and find cover! ***COMLINK***

Paraphus nearly jumped after the Energon grenade went off but felt much better for it.
+++COMM-RETROBLAZER+++ Thank you, I needed that! +++COMM+++
He transformed to robot mode and was just about to go off and cut down a couple more of the Decepticon straglers when he recived the COMM from Max. He panicked and ducked behind the debry he'd charged into just a couple of moments before.

Torque cursed when he heard Max Convoy's COMM message. He sprinted back the way he had come along the top of the cannon. He leapt off the cannon and transformed, hitting the ground and tearing off for cover.
Swift wasn't too concerned about the cannon. He was more worried about the two Seekers that were bearing down on him.
+++COMM to Valkyrie+++ "I've got a plan. Lure those two Seekers you got towards me. Fly right at me, then pull up at the last moment, see how smart these guys are. +++COMM+++

As Powerplay sped away, Max Convoy got Retroblazer's attention and the two moved away from the Decepticon canon. The barrel of the weapon began to glow as the powerful charge that would soon destroy the Autobot's space shuttle was almost ready to fly and hit it's target.
As every last Raider got under cover and all airborn Autobots were clear of the blast, the canon erupted in a bright firery explosion. The barrel rocketed away from its base and rolled down the side of the mountain. Shrapnel flew and imbeded a couple of unlucky Decepticons who were close to the blast and on the ground.
Soon, the few remaining Decepticons began to break off from their desprite attacks and either drove away of flew off in different directions.
Max Convoy looked up from where he had taken shetler and called in his team. ***COMLINK*** Raiders regroup! Let the surrvivors go so that they may inform Megatron that they failed and that the Autobot's have won another victory.***COMLINK***
Powerplay looked over at the remains of the canon and then at Max. 'You weren't kidding when you said it would blow at 30 astro seconds.'
'29.99 to be exact.' Joked Max Convoy.
