WarMonger burst through the trees loudly, causing a few to fall. She had fallen back in order to transform into robot mode, taking out a few branches in the process. As she looked to the battle, she saw the other Decepticons, but only Megatron was fighting. She looked to Starscream quizzically, raising an invisible optic ridge.
Fangshadow almost fell out of the sky as a few trees burst from the ground under her. She sighed, flying to a higher altitude to avoid the giant that had appeared. Meanwhile, she flew beside Cyclonus, starting to fill him in on what had happened so far.
Reno was about to make a remark in reply to Shadowflux when the forest nearby practically exploded. She jumped, hitting her head on the cave's ceiling again. "Oww...."

Len procked her head curiously as Cyclonus kept himself distant of the fight.
"So thats' the Spiritimus Prime I hear so much of... She ain't that tough lookin'" Len scowled. Watching her so-called leader fight against, she was quite surprised that the big purple bulk hadn't taken down the dragon yet.
"Is he holding off or something?"
Furious, the crimson seeker bolted up to the helicopter. As he closed in on distance, he snapped his sword from his wing, using his boosters to keep him aflight.
"What is she doing here?" Starscream questioned impaciently, only to glance down in the forest to spot WarMonger. Great, the best to for these fools to show...
He turned his head back to Cyclonus. "You will take Len and your own tailpipe back to base, Megatron wants no inference" the seeker threatened.

Spiritimus Prime was thrown back by the force of the impact when Megatron had shocked her body. She landed heavily on her back, but she barely managed to force herself to do a back flip, going into another crouching position.
She glanced up at Megatron, her optics narrowing before wincing a bit. She glanced down when she saw that Megatron's lightning strike had gotten past her armour and had left a huge cut in her side, which sparked with her lifeforce electricity. She stood up and staggered as the mild cuts in her armour affected her mobility.
"You're obviously toying with me, aren't you?" she asked as she glanced up at him, optics narrowing. "I thought you were enjoying this challenge." She got into one of Optimus' favourite fighting stance and taunted Megatron a bit by motioning him to come to her. "Bring it on, Mega-Git!"
She staggered again and she realised that she was weakening even further. She couldn't keep this bluff up for very long. With only 48% left of energy, she knew that she would have to get away sooner or later, or risk being destroyed in the end.

"kekekekeke. look at all the bots who've come to watch." in his hyper state everything was much clearer and he was actually using his systems. however his energy reserves were draining quicker in his hyper state, it wouldn't have been so ad if he wasn't damaged. "are you sure we can't stay. kekekeke."
he looks at spiritmus, and insane grin crosses his face "she dosen't seem to be doing too well hehehehe." he thinks "and i've got just the thing! kehehehehe"he searches with his good hand "um where is it? hehehe." he checks some more and then realizes something, and giggles some more Cypher turns to starblaze "have you by any chance seen some of my bombs hahahaha i seem have to drop some hehehehe. in particuar a blue one, tis an energy bomb usefull for returning lost energy hehehe it can even damage bots as long as the haven't lost too much energy. you don't want to stand too close to it though kekehehehehe"

WarMonger looked up to see Starscream confront Cyclonus and Len. She raised an invisible optic ridge. He doesn't want interference, huh? She narrowed her optics, watching the battle.
Reno peeked over the edge of the rock, instantly ducking when she saw WarMonger staring at the battlefield.
Fangshadow swerved out of the air, pulling a turn that would shear almost any aircraft clean in half, and met back up with Cyclonus a distance away from Starscream's sword. She didn't say anything, but her frustrated glare pretty much said everything for her.

"Primus! Aim that stick away from my rotors, will ya!?" Cyclonus hissed, body tilting away from Starscream and his sword at an angle that would have made any normal chopper crash.
"Besides!" he continued, "I wasn't going to fire a shot until Megs ordered me too! I know better than to get in trouble when I've got Len with me. Give me some credit here!"

"My pleasure, pathetic Autobot!" Megatron charged again. Swinging one arm with the Unicron claw, he used his other to create another ball of lightning and struck it right at the femmes' underside. A dark grin appeared at his fangs at this point, knowing that his army was watching, and perhaps they would learn a few things.
"I don't care if you were going to shoot or not. You will take Len back" the seeker glared, placing his saber back to its' wing, but with it hesitated.
"Oh come on! Cyclonus is taking good care of me, why don't you let me have any fun?!" Len scarled from the dashboard, viewing the seeker through the windshield. "We even took down Faye earlier and-"
"Faye is here too?! Where is Sideways???" Starscream demanded, irritated that the whole base was practically on Earth.
"I don't know! We were messing around then we seen a red bot, chased him, and now we're here! And..." the humans' eyes widen as she saw a dark blue bot below, accomplice with a white cat breed transformer. The blue bot had its' gun pointed and loaded, and eventually fired at the seeker. "Starscream! Look out! Cyccc!"
"Huh?" the seeker gapped, just in time to turn around and meet the stun-gun blast to the chest. A small grunt escaped him as he fell and crashed to the ground beneath him.
"..Bullseye" Shadowflux whispered to himself, going back into cover along side Reno. "We can't aide Lady Spiritimus but the least we could do is prevent any extra casualties" he nodded to himself and the tiger-like beast. He held his small, but powerful stun gun with both hands, practically trigger happy.

Spiritimus narrowed her optics and she rolled away just in time before the lightning could strike her frame. She felt her Spark get caught in her throat, and she knew that she had wasted more of energy than she'd realised. Taking that opportunity to counterattack, she reached for her swords that were mounted in her wings and slashed at Megatron's arm in the hopes of giving it enough damage to allow her to get away.
Her attention was diverted for a second when she heard Starscream go down.
"Sounds like they're going to keep them busy, Megatron," she said. "Your men won't be stepping in any time soon." She glanced over her shoulder for a bit, hoping that her other comrades would get here soon. 'Come on, Rodimus. Hurry up.'
If she kept this fight up for much longer, then she would be in stasis lock in a matter of minutes. Her body shook again, but she refused to fall.
Starblaze continued to ignore the bot. She was far too focused in getting him back to base and repair him. Once that was achieved, she would head back outside and give her commander the backup she really needed. She just hoped that she wouldn't be too late. "Just can it, would you!" she snapped at Cypher. "Getting you inside is more important than helping our leader. She's risking her life to allow us to get you back inside and repair you. If I go back now and help her, then she would have my head before I would even get a chance to set foot on that battlefield!"

Cypher went quiet when Starblaze snapped at him
"now thats just mean" he mopes "i'm just saying is all."He was getting tired now. "and there are bombs around, so it would be best if she looked where she stepped." his optics closed/went off. "but if one hit megs, or if he stepped on one, it would be fine right." Cypher went to into a stasis sleep. mumbling to himself in dreams only he could understand

"Woah! Did not see that coming!" Cylonus yelped loudly as Starscream dropped from the sky.
Warily, the mech dived down and landed right beside him, one arm reaching inside of his cockpit to pull out a protesting Len. He wasn't much for heroics, but the copter knew from previous experience how much it sucked being taken by surprise. Herding the semi-human over to a patch of boulders, Cyclonus carefully dragged the seeker in with her. He stood up with guns heating just in case the Autobots dared to get any closer to Starscream or Len.
---
Talon stayed quiet while her optics scanned behind her. She could hear the fight outside and it sounded like it was starting to get serious. Despite Spiritmus' warning, the femme was going back out once Cypher was finally safe. Casting a skeptical glance at the other dragon, Talon wondered how she was going to pull that off. Either Starblaze or the Lady Prime could have her head for disobeying orders. Even if it was for the better.

Fangshadow landed beside Cyclonus, helping him to drag Starscream to cover. She also got her sword ready, crouching into a battle stance. She looked to WarMonger, who hadn't really moved other than leaning against a giant oak. The giant shrugged, obviously not worried about Shadowflux's stun gun. "It'd take a lot more than a stun shot to bring me down, anyway."
Reno sighed, shaking her head. She looked at Shadowflux just in time to see Starscream plummeting to the ground. "Was that necessary?"

Seeing the weakness not only in her eyes but on her armor itself, Megatron had a smile of glee. Not a grin. A smile. One of the deadliest possible. Not mattering to the gashes at his arm, he continued the cycle of swing, bolt, occasionally jumping back to dodge high-edge punches.
"Face it, You're mine" he scowled.
Trying to make a staircase out of the rocks, Len made her way up to the stunned seekers' cockpit of a chest and simply glared at him, his orange optics not holding much emotion back.
"Thats' what you get for not paying attention to yourself. I think I can make my own choices" she growled.
"If I have to...when my systems are back up...I'll...take you back to the base...myself-!" Starscream glared, the stunning to his system sending small shocks down his wires, causing him to wince. When the pain was minimum, he simply nodded to Cyclonus and Fangshadow as a thanks to rescuing his hide, though it was embarrassing and he had hoped Megatron didn't notice.
"That blue bot' has caused it amongst himself. Prepare fire at will if he tends to aim again..."
Shadowflux only nodded to Reno. "Provoked attention, maybe. But atleast it'll buy Lady Spiritimus some stares."

"Not on my watch she isn't!"
From out of the blue, a cloaked mech leapt from the bushes and slammed into Megatron's chest head first. He landed right in front of Spiritimus Prime and drew out his Energon Bow that gleamed with his determined energy that burned brightly in his blue optics.
"Rodimus!" Spiritimus exclaimed in pure shock. "I didn't expect you to show up so soon. Where were you, and where's Uncle Magnus?"
Rodimus Prime removed the hood that shadowed his blue optics from the world and his opponents. He glanced over at Spiritimus with a small smile on his face that flustered her just enough energy to stand up again, but she was staggering a bit still.
"Oh, you know how our uncle works, Spirit," he said. "He comes whenever he feels like it."
His gaze then shifted over to Megatron as he took on a fighting stance in a near crouching position. "As for you, Megatron!" he spat. "Why don't you pick on someone who has more energy! You're facing a proper challenge now!"
"Gee," Spiritimus mumbled sarcatically, "thanks for standing up for me, Roddy."
Rodimus chuckled and winked an optic in her direction, but his focus did not falter one bit. "So what are you waiting for, you coward?" He took a step forward. "Are you afraid to fight another Prime? Come on! I'll take you on!"

Stumbling back from the headbutt, Megatron let out an irritated growl. "So, you were just stalling. So much for no extras..."
Then he let out another grin. "Well then. Lets' play." Running up to Rodimus and dodging energon arrows, he swung the large purple claw, and instead of using his opposite hand to control the Unicron darkness, he simply thrusted the power to the claw itself, the tips bolting with lightning.
"Come now! Lets' see how you dance!"

Rodimus only laughed and leapt away gracefully like he was created to do it. He couldn't believe just how lucky he had been to get to his friend's side before the killing blow had been laid upon her.
"Oh, I can do more than dance, Megatron," he said, allowing a cocky grin to cross his lips. "I can play tonnes more games than you'll ever realise! Did I forget to mention that my two left feet are more balanced than yours? You make one heck of a bad dance partner anyway, so I think tag is a lot more fun than dancing."
Laughing, he quickly stashed his Energon-Bow away into his subspace pocket and leapt backwards, back flipping once and landing on a rock in a croching position a short distance away.
"What? Are you getting slow in your old age, Megatron? Come on, come and get me you old coot!"
His gaze lingered onto the mountainside and made direct contact with Shadowflux and Reno, hoping they would get his message on what he was really trying to do.
'Come on,' he thought. 'Get her out of here, you two! She can't stand there forever taking punishments can she?'
Spiritimus was far to exhausted to get up any more. In her tiredness, she collapsed on her stomach and her wings sagged against her sides. She didn't even have the strength to make it back to the base, and she doubted that she could do anything. If she tried contacting the base, then she would risk getting overheard by Megatron, or anyone else that had acute audio receptors.
"I guess," she whispered tiredly to herself, "this is where I lie now. Right here in the dirt of where I really belong. What does it really take to be a leader? I don't deserve it at all." She closed her optics, waiting for anyone to come along and put her out of her misery. She was a mess in her true nature, and she didn't deserve this burden of leadership. All those long months of being away had changed her into something she really wasn't meant to be in the first place. She had led the Autobots nowhere, and they were in an unfit and poor state of condition, and it was all because of her. "It's all my fault this had happened. If only he was still here, then I wouldn't be in such a mess. Oh father, where are you? I need you, no, we need you."
