[LV-117 Skies over Mountain Range]Wheelie wrote:"What's our destination? Our station of operation?"
“We’re going back to the Autobots,” he said, with a shaky voice. “We should be with them now.” From the side, he could still see that absolute unit of a chaosteros causing mayhem. Hopefully everyone was still holding up alright to that.
Hopefully.The acid rain was still pelting down, and even worse now that they were flying. “Sorry about the weather, Wheelie, but it’s either a few kliks of rain or a cyborg gargantuan.”

[LV-117 Surface]Ransack reshaped himself into his alt mode, so that he could get up, close and personal with this monster. His bug optics glowed, and he descended on the cybernetic skin of the monster, transforming back in midair and unleashing a relentless volley of fire onto it.
Kill it. He fire round after round at the soft, fleshy parts. His red visor glowed faintly.
Kill it. Another few moments, and he brought himself into point blank range. His concussion cannon was in his right hand. Aimed down. Grip tight.
Kill it. →
[LV-117 Ocean]The underwater action was growing, the tension increasing. Overbite, hilariously enough, had found that the big fish looked like a satisfying upgrade to him. Seawing pointed out that there were some organic portions, and the underwater demolitionist made his way down to the area that he had pointed out. He shifted into his cephalopod alt mode, and bulleted himself towards the fleshy portion. Outside of the waters, on the surface, an intense rumbling began to occur.
And right at that moment, Tentakil had secured his grip onto the megalocon. He injected half of his tentacles into an organic part, and the other half into a metallic surface.
>>”Swim back, unless you’d also like to have a taste.”<< He squeezed hard, attempting to crush into the damn monstrosity that was this beast. When he felt his spikes completely embedded, he offline his round, left optic and forced several hundred thousand volts of insulated yet raw and violent electricity into the shark. “Hrngh!” The amount of energy he was spending to make this happen was immense. He had made sure to make it count.

[LV-117 Surface]Wildfly felt the release. He felt himself enter the fray. He felt it in his circuits like some kind of euphoria that had infected his systems. He rushed straight in, towards the creature that had suffered a similar fate as he and his fellow ‘cons had at the hands of Jhiaxus. A maddening bloodlust filled his moves. He skipped from side to side, dashing past others, taking flight. All to finally
cRuSh tHaT sCrapLeT’s hEad. It was too much for his circuits to handle. He needed release. And he needed it now.
But the euphoriant bloodlust wouldn’t last long. In a split second, as his systems felt… hijacked, infected by a different feeling. Something hollow. As if everything he had was suddenly sucked out of him. As if he was just a shell for the vacuum that had taken its place inside. His spark felt like it was being broken, beaten up and scarred in all the worst ways possible.
And it all feels so fragging familiar. →
[LV-117 Mountainside]When Skyfall and Wheelie arrived back at the mountainside, it looked like six different kinds of hell had walked through this place. “Wheelie, I don’t feel too good about this.” All kinds of chaos was being waged. He looked for the location of the Autobots, and thankfully enough, Fortress Maximus’s size was enough to give it away. Not like secrecy really mattered anymore. He descended, with less control than before, shaking and stirring on the way down. It was more of a sharp plunge than a descent. “Agh! Wheelie, jump, now!” He almost would’ve crashed to his death, were it not for the aid of a few jagged rocks on the side. Thunder roared above, and a crack of lightning lit the skies.
After the flash, Skyfall tried to bring himself up. He couldn’t afford rest at this point. He looked up to see the rest of the Autobots, a few leaps above him. He tried to climb his way to the top, slipping a little bit on a few rocks and missing a few places that he needed to grab, but he pulled himself up nonetheless.
And finally, he was reunited with his fellow Autobots. Fortress Maximus, Wheelie, Brainstorm, Whirl, the Technobots, Pointblank, and the rest. “Hey. We’re back.” He didn’t know what else to say. He was just glad to be back amongst family again.
Realising that he was in the middle of a war and not at some random chit-chat party, he turned his attention to the action. Hundreds of insecticons crawling around the chaosteros with several seekers in the sky and a dozen other land troops. It was a sheer insanity of a view.
And then the rumbling began.
Out of the corner of his optic, he saw something rising. Something grotesque and utterly shocking. Mechs being transformed into unnatural positions and being linked together.
First, it was Monstructor. He had seen this already. A nasty sight to behold. He almost felt bad for the kinds of things Jhiaxus had done to them, to the chaosteros and pretty much anything else he’d come into contact with.
Next, another titan. This one he hadn’t seen before. He hoped he hadn’t seen it before, because it looked like the unholiest kind of abomination. It looked like a savage beast who would ravage through everything, day and night, if only to find a sliver of energon to feed itself with. He hoped that it wasn’t the case. He recognised some of the members of that titan. Terrorcons, they called them. Vicious, ruthless animals.
Hopefully, the titan wasn’t a sum greater than its parts.
Skyfall heard a vulgarity from Lightspeed behind him, and some kind of shifting. His optics stretched wide open. “Lightspeed! What’s happening to you?!” And alongside him, Strafe and Afterburner. “What’s going on?!” Nosecone was drilling in the tunnel, but for some reason the sound of the drilling had reduced.
Panic filled his systems as he realised what was going on.
