"They're gonna come. And when they do, I'll be untied and nothing will stop me from tearing out your spark and crushing it, slowly as you watch. This will be the final thing you will remember." Guzzle laughed. --- "Engines aren't my specialty per say but I believe I can do something about it."
"Thank you, Pharma" Rodimus said. "Grapples, Rapido. Fire the grapple cables." He then got on comms. "Good idea, Magnus. Bring Hot Shot and Dino with you. Let Hoist know to head down to the shuttle bay too." --- "The who now?" asked Tap-Out, as he started looking through things, and found a set of disassembled shelves. --- "Nah, if it happens, last thing I'll remember is doing this" he said. Drancron walks over and aims a mighty kick at Guzzle's head.
"Alright. Aaaand done." Rapido replied as he shot out the cables. --- The kick connected and Guzzle now lied down on the floor with a little bit of energon now dropping from his head.
“They’re a subspecies of Cybertronian who love junk, using it to repair themselves and build stuff. They even willing let their home planet get approved as an intergalactic junkyard.”
Magnus nods and turns to Hot Shot and Dino "Let's go Crusaders." He transforms and drives to the shuttle bay. "Hoist, where are you?" He asks on comms.
Dino nodded before transforming and following after magnus. Meanwhile, Hoidt radioed in to Magnus. Hoist: "Main deck, what do you need me to do?"
The grapples hit their mark, locking Drancron's ship in place. "Rapido, lets go meet the others at the shuttle" Rodimus said. "Blaster, I want constant status reports on the ship. I want to know the moment it could look like it's going to collapse." Rodimus then began making his way to the hangar, activating his comms. "Anode, you there?" he asked over the comms. --- "Lovely" said Tap-Out as he plucked a desk out of the piles. "Say, one of you wouldn't mind grabbing that chair over there, would you?" -- "But I digress" Drancron stated, now talking to the unconscious Cybertronian. "My boss needs you. You'll be a fun experiment for him. Though, if your friends make it..." Drancron then approached a panel, and started tearing it off a wall, revealing a stasis pod he had concealed without the bandits noticing.
"You got it, Captain." affirms Blaster. "As of now there's fire in one engine and the other is damaged enough to be non fuctional. Grapples are holding."
“Hey Nauti, help him out while I see what the captain needs?” “Yeah.” Nautica walked over and picked up the chair. Anode walked away and answered her comms. “What’s up?” The stasis pod opened, and a large tan and red femme with horns emerged.
"We need you in the hanger for the recovery team" Rodimus said. "Nautica can help Tap-Out." He arrived at the hangar. "Shuttle all set, Pharm?" asked Rodimus ((@Stonecrusher )) --- "We brought something to carry all this on, right?" asked Tap-Out. --- Following a glance at Guzzle, Drancron looked at his comrade. "Apologies for keeping you in there, Blastcharge" said Drancron. "But your muscle wasn't needed until now."
"I think so," the good doctor replied, despite not truly knowing what he was doing because he was a doctor and had little experience with shuttles.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Anode ran off to the hanger. “Uh...no.” Nautica looked around for Anode. “And now she’s gone...” Blastcharge growled and stretched, unlocking her joints that were still a bit stuck from stasis. “What do you need?”
"You know it's one button" said Rodimus, patting Pharma on the back. "Stick behind me when we board. We need to keep you safe in order to repair Guzzle, depending on what condition he's in." --- Tap-Out sighed. "Without even a goodbye" he said. "Any idea why?" Tap-Out balanced a lamp on top of the table. --- "Almost time to go, but I've only just repaired the space bridge" Drancron said. "We're being chased by some Cybertronian wannabe heroes, and they've shut the engines down. We need to hold them off until the system has locked onto our master's place, and we can get out of here."
Anode ran up behind Rodimus. “Hey, What’s the mission, captain?” “She did say something about captain Rodimus calling her.” “I’ll do more than hold them off.” Blastcharge said with a sinister fangy grin.
Blaster listens to some EPIC music while he watches his mechs enter the shuttle and keeps an optic on the grapples and enemy ship activity. He frowns in thought. "If I were the bandit captain of the ship, I'd see how hopeless this is to fight. So what would I do as a pirate? I suppose it would depend on how ruthless I was. I'd only have the enemy ship to escape on or not enough time to evacuate everyone on a smaller ship to escape. So..." Blaster looks over at Hoist. "Hey Hoist? Mind standing on stand-bye at the ships artillery? Until Rodimus calls you for back-up, I think you'd be best there." ((@BRX ))
