| - Mercury Rapids The Crystal City folk, determined to win their land back, have decided to ambush a Decepticon patrol! Starscream flies through the air on patrol. Making sure that the Autobots or Neutrals haven't tried taking back this little section of Cybertron yet. So far he hasn't detected anything...but his sensors are on full scan. Nitrogear flies along the edge of the Mercury Rapids alongside Starscream, his scanners active as well. This land is OURS, and Nitrogear is out on patrol with Starscream to make sure it stays that way. Murusa has been in wait for awhile now, hunkered down with pistol at ready. Springing traps are tricky business, and she is going to wait until she can see the targets and know they are close enough to shoot at and hopefully gain that advantage of a early hit. She glances at Protofire, signaling to him that she spots the Cons coming. Protofire nods at Murusa and lifts his own rifle to the skies, focusing in that direction. He was to head off the attack, and quietly presses the trigger, firing at the lead Seeker. Combat: Protofire attacks Starscream with Where did that come from?? - (cannon) Level: 1 and MISSES! The Tetra jet pulls up suddenly as he's fired upon. "What the-?" he snaps, as the blast sails clear past him. Barrel-rolling, he gets a bead on Protofire. "Neutral scum! How dare you!" he shouts.

Combat: Protofire attacks Starscream with cannon Level: 3 and MISSES! Energy Skin: Protofire turns their Energy Skin on. They are now able to soak Energon from attacks. "No, it is OUR land. ALL Land belongs to us Decepticons and Comrade General Megatron.", Nitrogear declares as he flies into attack pattern, locking his missiles onto Protofire and firing one towards him! "YOUR lands?" Starscream sputters, "Everything belongs to the DECEPTICONS! And if you don't withdraw, you also will belong to us!" Starscream says. Of course, he's thinking it'll belong to /him/. He transforms and evades the cannon shot. "Nice try," he says, "Now take this!" Pew pew pew go the arm lasers. Murusa winces as she is struck, she fires back up at the cons. "No respect for their elders eh Protofire?" she asks. Combat: Murusa attacks NPC Decepticon Guard with pistol Level: 2 and HITS! Combat: NPC Decepticon Guard's Armor buckles but remains functional.

With this, Nitrogear lets some small cube-shaped explosives out from a bomb bay, raining down towards Murusa but missing her. Murusa frowns at that comment from Starscream, "Nobodies that can stand on their own against two upstart youngsters." she quips back at him, then aims up at Nitrogear again, having ducked out of the way of that ballistic show. "Nice try kid." Combat: Murusa attacks NPC Decepticon Guard with pistol Level: 1 and MISSES! Combat: NPC Decepticon Guard attacks Murusa with ballistics Level: 1 and HITS!

A wicked laugh emits through the air, as Nitrogear banks to the left in a barrel roll, evading Murusa's pistol attack. He notices that even though he missed Murusa with his initial ballistics attack, several explosives remained on the ground and detonate, hitting Murusa as an aftereffect. Murusa should ask Proto how he got that tech of his! She screams as the unexploded ballistics gets her, damaging her old armor nicely. But she isn't deterred at all from shooting at the younger mech above her. Combat: Murusa attacks NPC Decepticon Guard with pistol Level: 2 and MISSES!

Combat: Protofire attacks Starscream with pistol Level: 3 and MISSES! After a brutal but fast battle, the Crystal City warriors manage to push off the Decepticon patrol, reclaiming the Mercury Rapids as theirs! Starscream notices that he and Nitrogear are too heavily damaged compared to their opponents. "RETREAAAAAAAAT!" he shouts, "DECEPTICONS FALL BACK!" He sneers at Protofire and Murusa. "You may have won this battle, but you have NOT won the war!" He rises into the air and heads for base. "Next time, you will not be so lucky." Nitrogear flies into formation with Starscream, heading back for base. Nitrogear still thinks we could have had them. Murusa frowns at the pistol, she must have messed up on the alignment for the scope or her battle systems need a serious upgrade. She gets slammed again, glad that her armor though old is pretty tough stuff. Seeing that they are leaving she gives Protofire a smile. "We won." Protofire watches this, and turns to look at Murusa, battered, but more concerned about her "Are you okay? yes we did." Murusa looks down at herself, "Been worse off. Let's get back to the city." Protofire nods and turns to radio in others to ensure that the Decepticons are run off, before he starts towards the city with her.
