"Double Jeopardy"

[Night-Hunter]

Sonar's optics flickered for a few seconds before finally powering up. Both his head and neck were pounding, he understood why his would be hurting, he had gone threw a slagging window. Why his neck was hurting... he put his hand on his neck and growled. Starshadow had bitten him.
"Beast mode." He growled.
Once he had done that he moved next to a rock.
"Next time keep your fangs to your self." He snapped, baring his teeth at Starshadow.
He could handle being thrown through a window but having his mech blood taken without his knowledge he didn't like in the slightest.

Orcariner's body rose to the surface while he had a spaced out expression in his optics. His HUD interface was erratic from all of the collisions against the transport and the whale struggled to find Icebreaker.

"How are you...whoah...how are you holding up?" he asked, his vision returning to normal.

The ram attack seemed effective in shaking the craft, but that would probably be the last time he tried it against something that big.

[starshadow]

"I'm fine..Go get the pods..." Starshadow smiled at the squid. She looked to Sonar as he spoke.

"Hey, I was the one who saved your skid plate when you're in the water! I could've let you drown, but I didn't!" she snarled at the bat.

Just like every maximal she helped before back on Colony Omicron, no one appreciated her help.

Starshadow shooked her head and transformed into her beast mode and sniffed the air.

Glowstick climbed down from the top of the transport, then went opened the rear hatch, he looked at the damage done to the floor of the ship,his optics dim as he sighs hearing Frilla. He activated his comlink Don't run off too far, you could get lost again.. speaking of which, you don't even know where to go! he then turned off the mic on his system, analyzing the cuts and looking at what may have been damaged. He sighed frustrated I reinforced this thing 10 times what it was and it was still shredded like a tin can..Hmm...We'll need to get to the pods as soon as possible..

His optics narrowed as he looked over the damage, it would be impossible for him to get the thing battle ready by the time they met up with the Maximals again. He placed a few of his remaining Canisters down on the bench Take these, they seem to be rather effective as bombs when shot at. Steelclaw, I think you should go with Star towards Delta point to get the pod. Sonar, if you feel up to it, I assume Frilla is heading towards the new stasis pod that landed.. investigate the area, if there are too many maximals then avoid conflict, it isn't worth it. Radio your situations, I'll.. try to catch up. he then opened a container on the edge of the ceiling, pulling out a soft roll of metal to patch up the holes of the ship, it wasn't perfect but would keep the energon radiation levels down.

Icebreaker looked towards Orcariner with a grin "A few bullet holes here or there, but nothing that would hold me back. You did good Bigguy, try to rest up on the way." Icebreaker then started to swim towards the shore, his internal repair systems activating. He would of waited, but the Predacons already made landfall, they would soon have to do the same.

((OOC: It's been a while since Valkyrie posted. Should we wait for her or keep moving since she wasn't technically with our group when she last posted? Also, Skyfire hasn't shown up yet. Do we send her a PM to let her know that the RP is in motion?))

[Blazemane]

((OOC: I think we should pm Skyfire. I'll go ahead and do that. And maybe you should, in character, send a message out to Valkyrie, asking where she is.))

"Those Maximals can't be far behind, Glowstick." Steelclaw replied. "I know we've got to spring for the pods, but are you sure you don't want fire support?"

[Alak]

"Blue Leader," Orcariner radioed to Valkyrie, "this is Blue 2 do you copy? What is your ETA?"

The Predacons were on land now which meant they had the advantage in mobility, firepower, and numbers. Since this mission had a specific objective, they also had the advantage in distance to the fallen stasis pods. Orcariner and Icebreaker could try to take them by themselves, but even Steelclaw had enough firepower on him to keep both of the Maximals out of the wilderness. If they hoped to catch up to the pod, the marine unit would have to refrain from shooting and just race to their fallen comrade. Orcariner kicked his tail and swam towards the beach.

[Night-Hunter]

"Hey, I was the one who saved your skid plate when you're in the water! I could've let you drown, but I didn't!"

"For which i am thankful for. But keep your fangs away from my neck." Sonar snarled back.

I reinforced this thing 10 times what it was and it was still shredded like a tin can..Hmm...We'll need to get to the pods as soon as possible..

Looks like the work of a poor craftmen. Sonar thought with a small smirk.

Sonar, if you feel up to it, I assume Frilla is heading towards the new stasis pod that landed.. investigate the area, if there are too many maximals then avoid conflict, it isn't worth it. Radio your situations, I'll.. try to catch up.

Sonar nodded. "Any thing to get away from miss Fangs over here." He growled looking at Starshadow.
He took to the air and headed for Frilla's location.

[NaitoKage]

(Heh, yeah. Skyfire is probably confused at this point.. and I'm sure Vena is probably lost as well. Probably busy with her kids/husband or the Museum.)

Glowstick shaked his head No, I'll be fine. I'll get the Leviathan to some cover, the Maximals will be more focused on the Stasis pods to care about a trashed parked transport. he then said, starting to unroll the metal over the holes and solder it in place with his laser. To be perfectly honest, I wont be able to fix this craft in time. So we'll be using something else to move the pods instead..Myself

Glowstick then moved towards the cockpit starting to patch the windshield up with the metal, then opened the storage container pulling out the medical kit.

[New Moon]

Frilla slowed a bit looking to the sky , trying to rememebrr the angle pf trajectory the pod would have crashed. Of course she didn't know where the firs tone wa sbut the second she'd seen crash, and hopefully it hadn't scanned anything yet. But she didn't bother to look to see if anyone was coming with, just wanting to get one fo the pods in PRedacon ahnds and right now it was hard to tell where to go since she ha donly seenw ehre the pod had headed but not crashed entirely.

"Maybe some higher ground..." Turning a bit she spotted a tree and rushe dot it, climbing to one fo the higher branches and raising on her hinds legs.

[Blazemane]

Glowstick was going to take the pods home himself... Steelclaw didn't know how that would work, but there was, after all, no point in debating it right now. The Predacon had his mind made up, and that was going to be the end of the story.

"Alright. Any trouble comes, contact me."

And with that, he ran off towards the original pod. Starshadoow wouldn't have any problem catching up to him, and in fact, she'd almost certainly get there first. He just hoped that stopping the pod from automatically choosing a beast mode and getting the Maximal outside would be an intuitive process...

[Night-Hunter]

Sonar was finaly able catch up to Frilla, his neck no longer hurt but his head did but not as bad as before.
At least now i can get away from the half breed. He thought.

"Maybe some higher ground..."

Frilla's voice caught his attention and raised an eye brow as she climbed a near by tree.
He grasped the branch with his clawed feet and hung upside down.
"Find any thing yet?" He asked.

[Venatrix]

((Guys please. I know everybody wants to keep going, but damn.... i almost posted for Valkyrie yesterday, and found there where already like 4 new posts i needed to take in account.
And now i wanted to post again, it seems i need to read 2 freakin pages, and make a post to take in account every single post i missed for the last day.
I smply cant keep up with the pase you guys are going at.
Cool them afterburners a bit so i can still tag a long.))

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

(( OOC: I agree with Venatrix, and I believe we've had this problem before. I think it's great that everyone is pumped up right now and are posting, but PLEASE slow down the posting for those who aren't able to get on here every day. One or two posts should be everyone's MAXIMUM replies PER DAY. Not five or six; which is also making the silly small posts that could, and SHOULD, be longer than a couple sentences if people WAITED for others to post to elaborate on their own. ))

[starshadow]

Starshadow growled as Sonar left. WHY THAT UNGRATEFUL LITTLE!!! her fur bristled.

"Let's go Steelclaw!!" she ran to find the other fallen pod. She can't let any maximals have it.
