OOC: So far four posts of charge including this post.
Now in robot mode Shadow-Strike found checking his sniper was a rather easy task as his backplate began to open up, allowing his Nucelon Charge Rifle to rise out of it's storage compartment and onto his shoulder. He knew the barrel was hot by now as his battlemask activated wrapping around his face to leave only his blood red optics sticking out from the jet black mask that merged with the night sky. Then he took the next step in preparation as his servo rose to snap his visor into place providing a number of useful displays. In particular he was paying attention to the weather statistics as although energy rounds weren't affected by bullet drop or similar effects some of their energy could be reduced by the weather. It was a relatively clear night though as the mech began to line up his scope.

*Afterburner herself needed to remain vigilant and so she decided to draw out her Path Blaster, though weaker than the Nucleon Charger Rifle, it was still capable of long range shots.*

Starling threw his leg into Dark Mercy's path, hoping to trip him. After the damage had been done, Starling retreated back into the shadows, ready to strike again.

Dark Mercy trips up, for a big mech he wasn't light on his servos. He grunts out and aims his gun down an aisle between containers.
Who goes there!
The mech yells, getting up again...
Scrap... I've been found!
Transforming back into his vehicle mode he drove out aiming to move to another section or the harbor.

Stepping out of the smokes radius, Sparkflare rubbed his optics with his left servo. Some smoke got in his optics, making him temporarily blinded as he was currently rubbing his optics. It felt like he was just stung by swarm of wasps one hundred times in the optics. He mech still had his grappling hook out and his path blaster held in his right servo. As soon as the worst of the effect of the smoke wore off, Sparkflare groaned as he stood up to his full height and lowered his left servo. The pain was now bearable, but his sight was blurry as he had his optics narrowed, making it harder for the mech to see clearly. He heard Dark Mercy shout. Sparkflare looked around quickly, also confused. He then decided to follow the trail of the voice. Turning the corner of the warehouse to follow the source of the voice. But since Sparkflare's vision was blurry, he kept his left servo out, make sure he didn't bump into something.

Looking through the scope Shadow-Strike began to line the sight up with the predacon's chest aware that the muzzle velocity of the weapon's projectile would be quicker than the speed of light never mind sound, that hardly mattered anyway though as Shadow-Strike began to chamber his round. He was firing from a vantage point and so far had done his best to cloak his position as he used his visor's HuD to monitor the barrels temperature. After so long spent firing and training with the anti-personnel weapon Shadow-Strike knew exactly the amount of energy it took to penetrate armour.
It of course wasn't a quick firing weapon but in reality it hit hard and usually it didn't need fire rate to compensate. After all an accurate shot could take out even the hardiest of cybertronians as long as he got a shot through critical organs, now he just needed to test the femme as his weapons cross hairs lined up with the femme's chest. It held a number of vital organs including the energon tank and more importantly the spark chamber itself.
Now he just needed to take his shot as the mech held the trigger aware by now he could simply fire and be gone, he wanted a clean takedown though and considering the amount of Autobot's patrolling the area he hardly wanted to give the femme a chance of escaping to a medbay.

*Afterburner's antennas flared viciously to the feeling of being watched, she wanted her tranquility for the night but it would seem she'd have to find out what or whom her hunter was. She then spreads her large wings and shoots for the air again, becoming mobile.*

Following the femme's rise Shadow-Strike's visor filled in the hard work as it began to scan the femme's trajectory, his direction connection to his Nucelon Charge Rifle providing addition data as his processor began to calculate a number of different factors to calculate in his shot. The femme was mobile true enough but she was still a shoot duck to a mech like him as he rose the sniper rifle ahead of her current trajectory and continued to watch waiting for the moment to shoot. He had time as the barrel's internal heat kept on rising, she was running out of time.

As soon as Sparkflare reached the source of the sound, he managed to regain his vision. The mech noticed the tire tracks. Looks like his target had ran off to hide somewhere else. Great... Sparkflare looked around at the shadows near him. He noticed there was someone in the shadows. Now there was someone interfering. Last thing he needed.
"Alright, you can come out now whoever you are wise guy. You just made me start all over again to find this decepticon."

Starling walked out, patted Sparkflare on the shoulder, then transformed, blasting towardds the cloud barrier. When he broke into the clouds, and thus out of sight, he scanned for Dark Mercy's signal as he flew.

*She transformed in midair and eventually her mouth lit up and shooting from it was a few small fireballs, aimed in Shadow's general direction, they were more or so to lure out rather than damage.*

Keeping in the darkness Shadow-Strike watched as the fireballs passed by, he was largely resistant to elemental attacks with his frame designed to resist even the harshest of planetary conditions. It was obvious the femme knew someone was there but he just needed to keep calm, then all there was left was to keep the femme guessing as the mech watched her through the scope. She had a feeling their was someone watching her but it was only an instinct for now so he did his best to make sure he wasn't giving himself away as one fireball neared closer he ducked into cover. He wasn't avoiding damage rather he was avoiding being lit up as he used his radar to continue pinpointing the femmes will they broke line of sight.
If she couldn't see the landbased mech then she couldn't find him as far as he was aware.

*Afterburner looks around, the darkness of Shadow's body blended in with the night perfectly, but there was one flaw that eventually Afterburner was able to finally pinpoint and see. His red optics.*
Found ya....
*She then transformed into robot mode and hovered arming her Path Blaster, loading in AP ammo clips and aiming it at Shadow, she then lets off a few shots.*

Starling dropped his altitude once he located the big rig, landing out of view on a tall building and taking aim with his Photon Burst Rifle, waiting for the right moment.

"I didn't call for back up though..."
Sparkflare said as he managed to get a glimpse of Starling before he flew off. Sparkflare would of grappled onto Starling to get a better view, but the flier was already out of range of his grapple. The mech sighed as he pointed his grappling hook to the nearest tallest crane. Sparkflare deployed the light blue line of energy to the crane. As the hook attached to the crane, Sparkflare immediately got shot up in the air as he reeled himself to the crane. As the mech reached the end of the grapple, Sparkflare grabbed the crane with his left servo and climbed up to stand on a good position on the crane so he could look down below. Sparkflare had a good view of the port. If Sparkflare kind of fancied to fight this decepticon, see what over tricks the 'con would throw.
If this did turn out to be Dark Mercy, Sparkflare may of found a decepticon that he liked. Using a smoke grenade as a distraction was a good idea. Sparkflare personally used smoke grenades before when he was younger. But those smoke grenades were used for pranks more than on the field.

Shadow-Strike's optics weren't particularly the brightest thing in the world but considering the femme likely had good perception he should have dulled them further before attacking. That hardly mattered now though that he was detected as the mech saw the cover he was using suddenly being met with the ammo from a pathblaster which led to debris and dust being kicked up everywhere. He was lucky he had broke eye contact though with his optics facing the other direction and his back facing her behind cover she had to fire based on guess work and as such the shots went narrowly wide.
Although he had made the mistake once he wasn't going to make it again as the mech kept low behind the cover and threw a single decoy which projected a hologram hidden behind a much less effective cover in between two cars in the parking lot. Then he began to rectify his own mistake as Shadow-Strike's optics flickered till they where a lifeless black merging in with the rest of the darkness. Now he just had to manipulate a more advantageous point of engagement between him and the femme.

*Afterburner sighed as the hologram went up at first she armed her blaster, instead her servo transformed back and she cupped her hands. She wanted peace and was only trying to do this to him to get him away from her, she couldn't tell if he was of Decepticon origin or something worse.
She summons a large fireball, Afterburner holding no remorse. She knew he was still around the area, she shot it at the ground and resulting explosion created a wildfire around the parking lot.*

The vehicle coasted along the side of the marina, dissapearing between the numerous warehouses until he found his next hiding place. No doubt his pursuers had already begun tracking him. The powersuited mech decided to hide amongst some containers stacked high, ready to strike at anyone who would come his way.

Starling transforms and flies, landing on the tall crates and putting away his weapons.
I heard you're having an identity crisis of sorts. Can I help? Of course, you gotta be peaceful.
