[If Nova drew near, he'd lose, but they're exchanging one attack every time and Nova's letting him "catch his breath" before attacking.]
"It certainly is," Vampyricon replied, readying for the next attack. He perked up when he heard the characteristic crack of air breaking down electrically. "So we're using powers now?" he thought.
Just in case, Vamp opened up compartments inside his chest and legs, which released a large amount of neon into the air between them, preventing any fires from forming.
"You are prohibited from using your tentacles."
Vamp was only half paying attention until he thought about what Taggon said. He scowled, fangs glinting in the light. His tentacles reluctantly retracted into his back.

*Nova unfolded her wings and spreaded them to the maximum wingspan, flapping them she begun to fly upwards, she blinked at Taggon and then grinned darkly at Vamp. She then zoomed straight for him, her fist raised and she aimed for a hit directly in his face.*

Short and Stock were no fools. As Sydrone was likely preoccupied by the knife, or pumping electricity into the ground, the twin halves lept up, the shining light showing again as a third, different mech took their place. Shortstock was back. The small mech was on a straight course toward Sydrone's head. And then he split again. Stock was on a crash course to Sy's back, and Short towards his head. If the mech were to stand, Short would undoubtedly hit him. If he were to roll forward, Short would likely land on his legs. If he rolled to the side, he'd be in a vulnerable position with two opponents right beside him.

"Good, good," Vampyricon thought. He raised his arm at Nova's helm, his clawed digits aimed straight at her face. If her head dodged the claws, he would attempt to slap her in the helm. Since he had longer arms, his arm would probably reach her helm before she reached his.

((Scrap, I forgot that the Arena wasn't closed off))
Sydrone hears the whistle through the air and straightens up immediately, Dafaq was that for boss?! he thought, before firing two electronic beams at both Short and Stock
((Short post, but this is more of a correction than an actual post, so I'm back to waiting for Shatter))

*Nova's faceplate got grabbed by Vamp and grinned evilly.*
Ohh Vamp dear, you really should've stepped back.
*Nova then uses her pedes to kick upwards into Vamp's chest to break herself free.*

Sydrone would see Shortstock reform, before splitting again and launching a dual diving kick at his back and head. His hands start sparking and he creates an electronic bubble shield around him, if Short or Stock tried to finish the attack, they were in for a nasty shock, nothing to serious or paralysing, just a snap of pain and a blow back. He was making sure that the electricity wasn't being conducted through any of the floor, as he didn't want to annoy Taggon by frying him as well.

Short and Stock grinned madly. Electricity was his play. They knew electricity, just ask their father. They'd learned to be resistant to it, to be affected by it, but ignore it. And electricity tended not to blow someone back, at least not that much. The twin halves flipped up their mouthguards, getting serious. Short grabbed onto his counterpart, placing his pedes on his shoulders and vaulting off, putting him free of the barrier and sending Stock faster at it. More impact. More likelihood of breaking through the shield, as it was electricity. If the barrier was able to be broken, the more cowardly half would grit his dentas as he passed through, his knees pressed against his chest. Right before he would reach Sudrone, he would extend the pedes, aiming for the upper chest. Electrokinesis wasn't easy and required intense focus if you weren't a conduit. Sydrone might not have time to react, or if he did, be able to move out of the way. Regardless of his counterpart's success, Short picked up Taggon's knife and tossed it across the room back to its owner. It wasn't expertly thrown, nor inexpertly, just mediocre.

'Dafaq was that for boss?!'
Taggon was already back to his regular stance, another knife being sharpened upon his arm. Taggon now made it clear he was watching Sydrone and Shortstock--or, more like it, the twin sparklings. The duo was giving Sydrone a run for his money, and Sydrone seemed to be trying to play defensive. " Sydrone . If you had succeeded in dealing that blow to the floor, we would all most likely be offlined. Think as you fight, Sydrone, or the consequences could be incomprehensibly costly." Taggon told him in a clear, unyielding voice. "You know that using an ability such as Electrokinesis is not to be tolerated in this session. I have repeated this more than once to all of you." Taggon told the assassin-in-training. Taggon had already made a list of what to say at the end of this episode, needless to say, his instruction after all this was going to contain more negative elements. That was being a teacher though, and since at the moment Taggon was the only teacher presently checked into the academy, he would carry out his duties. Now as for these two sparklings. Taggon thought to himself. He watched them for a second. No one would have guessed the dwarf-sized mech was two smaller ones combined. In some senses, it would be unfair to allow them to continue, while in others--Taggon knew he had said no powers. Nothing elemental at least. Though when he had said such, it was him stating that he wanted nothing to do with telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, water-control, fire control, and the like. These two sparklings, however, were simply two mechs. He hadn't told the students this though, though he had not expected to see a miniaturized combiner. He remained quiet for a minute more. He knew his cousin Cut-Up would applaud this kind of behavior. 'Always have a trump card' was what his cousin would say. But Taggon was not Cut-Up. They were distant cousins to say the least. Both these sparklings were using only their hands and feet. Still. That was an 'ability'. Taggon could guess at this point Dashside was probably impatiently looking at him for where she could begin. Taggon would let his mind continue to consider if the little mech's move was truly illegal. In the meantime, he was sure to keep an eye on Afterburner and Vampyricon---

Vampyricon took the full brunt of the blow with his chest and fell down on his back. He smirked. "Doesn't matter," he said. "I won."
Vamp brought his hand up. Energon stained the fingertips. Energon drawn from Supernova's cheek. He licked it off his claws and continued speaking. "First blow to the helm or chest wins. I hit your helm first. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll just lie here to cool down myself."

Sydrone just grunts and focuses on keeping Short and Stock out of his shield, strengthening the force, but taking more energy to do so ((Sy's literally a Defender Titan from Destiny at this point)) Point... Taken... but doesn't.... merging.... qualify as... a power... also? he says through gritted teeth, increasing his power output even more. He was keeping Short and Stock from hitting him while he... discussed this with Taggon. If he's... gonna be... switching out all the.... time.... at least let me... draw my blade... for non lethal... use. he says

Dude. You're twice our size.
Stock chortled as he finally got off the barrier. He stood near his twin, who steadied him.
He's right. Besides, we did tip you off. And it is more like dividing than merging.
Short motioned for Stock to sit down, and rest. Though each half was weaker than If combined, they still had the same skills. Short circled around he barrier, trying to think it through. Hitting it was foolish, or was it? They couldn't break it, but they could make Sydrone put more energy in and end up exhausting himself. Short turned to get Stock, but he appeared to have the same idea. Short ran over to Stock, getting on one knee and interlocking his digits. The other half jumped onto his servos, and Short thrust his hand up, forcing his twin into the air. Stock planted his pedes on the barrier, being sure to angle himself at Sydrone if he tried to pop the barrier, and vaulter off, a similar move to the earlier one.

"So vent your frustrations on me," Vampyricon said, not moving from his position. "I don't mind. The round isn't over." He caught the drips of Nova's energon in his palm.

Sydrone starts throwing up his guard, he had a plan, and for it to work he would need to get the timing right. He waits for the kick to come, and when Stock impacted the barrier, he executed a controlled discharge, sending a wave of electricity out and widening the gap between him and the two smaller bots. They would be, hopefully, caught in the wave and deposited at the edge of the arena, making it possible for Sydrone to catch his bearings and evaluate the situation.

*Nova growled and raised her fist at him, aiming for a strike to his face, she then purposefully misses him completely and buries her fist into the ground, kicking him in the side instead. Shaking her head and turning away.*
You know what? A Decepticon Vehicon is more of a worthy fight that you'll ever be, unless you stuff that attitude of yours back up your aft and get a dose of reality.

Stock bit his lip as he restrained a scream. He was hit by the wave and flew back, but Short was fine. Short ignored the wave coming to him and ran to his twin, grabbing his servos and pulling him off the ground. He led him to the edge of the arena and turned back to Sydrone. He whispered something inaudible to Stock, who sat down at the edge, and crossed his arms. Short calmly walked to Sydrone as the wave dispersed, and stared at him. Short had a new plan. Outlast the larger mech. Stop making for blows and just avoid his attacks, he'd eventually tire out.

(Sorry Taggon Hadn't seen your post.) Taking in what Taggon had to say, a brief smirk flickered on Dashside's faceplate as the knife flew towards Sydrone, a smirk that quickly ended when it had missed. It wasn't hatred for him, just resentment of him and his methods. Taggon might notice a difference in the railgun on Dashside's back to the one she so often carried about, the fact of the matter was that this railgun was a replacement, due to it's predecessor's untimely destruction in those mines. This one was bigger, it's paint a lighter gray. It's rails were longer, with good reason too, such as to be able to carry generators that could create a much stronger electromagnetic field and thus fire the payloads caught between the two rails at much higher speed. Dashside exhaled a sigh of patience, waiting for Taggon to continue what he was going to say.

Sydrone crosses his arms. He knew exactly this method. The steeled stance. The look of determination in the small bot's eyes. This was an Autobot who meant to play defensively and tire him out. Sydrone just sighs. So that's how you're gonna play it, huh? he asks, almost rhetorically, before launching a series of kicks at the smaller bot, one for the head, hopefully causing him to duck, then one for the legs, if he wasn't caught out of by the first kick, the small bot would probably jump if he had his wits about him, then he would aim for a kick to the small bot's gut, about where he would be if he did jump. If any of these kicks hit, Sydrone would follow up with a punch to the helm, winning him the fight.
