The gun was knocked out of his hand by Shadow. But with his other hand, he blocked the eblow to the head. Only to be hit in the side of his body and sent flying a few feet by Hotwire. He didn't see all this coming. He then clicks his fingers and around him, smoke started to appear.

"Ah! You get that?" Hotwire asked Helix as he found that, being hit by the EMP, his entire upper body was currently paralysed, "Oh damn but kid, you are PAYDIRT!"
She strode forward and grabbed Helix by the neck before the smoke could rise, putting her blade to his neck.
"Seriously, the only question is who I sell you to!"

"Bite me glitch. In fact, bite that con, he'd probably like it."
Since his upper body had been frozen up, he still had his lower working. He extends his razor sharp claws in his feet and slashes at her right leg and her stomach with kicks, growling loudly.

As his elbow strike was blocked Shadow-Strike pushed away to ensure Hotwire could get the shot on target well aware of Riptide's attack as he slipped by. Allowing the Autobot's strike to move past his wrist by centimeters before Shadow-Strike stepped back out ready to deploy his own blades, both gauntlets activating as Shadow-Strike's thermo-energon lowered into place ready for lethal confrontation.

"Shadsy? Maybe some other time," Hotwire glanced at Shadow-Strike with Riptide, "Hey, don't worry about me Shads, I got it this time!" she told the mech ironically.
She shot Helix in the chest once more to be sure, and started dragging him away calmly.
"Let me think..." she scanned approximate values on EvilBay, "Do I take you straight to the Nemesis for fast-tracked payment, or keep you in storage and hold an auction?"

He slipped by Shadow-Strike, quickly recovering and facing his opponent. He narrowed his optics as he looked at Shadow. Something was seriously familiar about him. His mind flashed back to that rainy night in Shanghai, his right optic staring down his rifle's scope as he tried to protect his fellow bots. He had not gotten a clear view of the mech that night, but the silhouette of the mech was all to similar to the one in front of him.
You! You're the sniper that was in Shanghai! Heh, let's see how tough you are without a rifle in your hands.
Riptide smirked and started moving towards the mech. He then saw Helix getting dragged away and dashed backwards, his servo transforming into a blaster as he fired two shots at Hotwire's back.

"Yeah, only worth pulling if you don't struggle too hard."
Riptide's shots hit Hotwire in the back and bounced off the multiple layers of armour almost ineffectually. She transformed into helicopter alt.
"I don't want to hurt you, I just want to eat tonight, y'know?"
With something of a strain, she lifted off with Helix underneath her. The other mechs were grounded, and she planned to make herself comfortable out of the way of either Bots or Cons before starting the bidding.

With the smirk hidden behind his battlemask Shadow-Strike focused solely on ensuring the blades didn't go through as he showed his expert swordsmanship that had been forged over billions of years of training and experience. The fact his reflexes where almost unnatural only helped him to push away the blades. He was well aware of how costly taking his optics off the fight was.
It surprised him as such when Riptide turned his attention to Hotwire as he punishing the autobot's tactical failure by bringing his blade down across Riptide's back. The next time the mech made a mistake like that he intended to personally remove the mech's helm from his neck.

"Hey, Gox, you wanna catch a lift?" Hotwire asked the two-foot Quintesson spider.
She looked back down at Shadow-Strike.
"Thanks Shads. I will text you," she called down to the mech as she air-lifted Helix away, "Unless I can't remember your number or can't find time."
With that, she was flying further into the mountains, where standard ground alts couldn't follow and even jet alts would have trouble due to the terrain.

((I go offline and find out a whole fighting scene has happened. XD Good mornin'.))
The minute the fight had began, Gox had slightly panicked. An actual fight. Instead of flying off, Gox found himself climbing to Hotwire's shoulder, and then perching there as he watched what she did. He couldn't help himself, he just watched, until at long last she began to transform. Gox leaped off, and unfolded his dragon fly wings, and then began to fly just beside Hotwire, who had begun to carry the bigger looking wolf-mech. Gox found himself offered a lift by Hotwire, and then just made a few chittering remarks in his own language. She needed some help lifting mech obviously designated Helix, and thusly Gox zipped onto Hotwire's back, underneath the rotor that was bringing her and the 'bot' up.
It was then that Gox began to meld himself into the femme. He turned his leg-tips into needles, and then began to dig himself in using a strange Quintesson ability he had been given. Hotwire would be given a small tickling feeling in the area, as Gox became one with her armor, and then began his work on her insides. Gox was a spider meant to ins lave and modify Cybertronians, however he simply could modify them, by creating matter from his delicate needles and altering it. Once in a Cybertronian, he became a miniature creator. Gox put his efforts into upgrading Hotwire's engines, and energon efficiency, so that Helixes weight would not be such a burden. The small upgrades would be permanent as long as Gox stayed on Hotwire, but when he left the upgrades would slowly whither away. Presently though, Hotwire would be given extra strength.

Hotwire was shocked at the move, and plummeted to the ground in alt mode - landing heavily on Helix in the process. Still, neither one was particuarly damaged, and she stood into bipedal mode, her engine venting, "What are you doing, Gox?!" she cried out.

((Hotwire, you were given extra strength, so his small move would have been cancelled out due to the extra strength and upgrades granted. Should you edit, or should I?))

(No, it's just that Gox has suddenly surprised her by his actions. She hasn't dropped Helix from weakness; she's dropped him from shock. After all, she doesn't really know about his upgrading thing. She just offered for him to come along because he's interesting.
She's been surprised from behind.
*is beaten*)

((Alrighty then))
Gox gave a small sigh mentally, and since he hadn't established a mental bond yet Hotwire wouldn't be able to hear it. "Moment Hotwire. Keep trying to fly." Gox answered, deciding on what to do. Hotwire was still in the position that she had been in in the sky, so her rotor was still facing the stars, which meant if he increased her rotor speed a bit more, she could still recover from the drop. As for the poor mech who'd acted as a pillow...well...
Hence Gox increased the speed of the rotor, bringing the three up into the air, that with the combined new power, would bring them directly up after a few waverings to the side here and there. Gox was slightly new at this, so he was finding other ways to make the upgrades a bit better, and then making the adjustments. The result would be Hotwire hovering up and down without touching the ground, and then finally the Helicopter would be able to function two times better then usual, easily able to bear the weight of the mech.
"Gox give Hotwire help." The spider answered shortly, the tickling feeling had stopped before all of this, but at that mean Hotwire would no longer have to be distracted by the small feeling.

Hotwire reached out for a large tree to help pull herself to stand again, "I don't need your-" the tree broke in half, "Oh my."
She transformed back into Alt mode, and spun her rotors. To her surprise, she took off easily with Helix under her - fortunately for him, he hadn't been hurt much either.
With Gox upgrading her systems, she was both stronger and faster. Her reflexes were also better, and if she'd need to use her Scatter Blaster, the charge time on that would be shorter.
"Gosh," she added as she flew. Something occurred to her, "Not to sound rude, Gox, but I'm pretty sure you're hooked into my system. What's the trade-off for this completely awesome boost? The down-side, the catch?"

"Upgrades leave after Gox leaves." Gox answered Hotwire upon the moment she returned to the air, carrying the captive with her once again. He remained in her systems, and then continued to fiddle with something inside her. He was trying to establish a mental link so that communications could be easier. Gox could feel what the strength Hotwire was feeling due to where he was, and at last, after some slightly tickling feelings, he hooked himself up to where he could talk to her mentally.
Now that he was inside a Cybertronian host, Gox was much more powerful and helpful then when he was outside. There we go! Yeesh, you'd think this would be a whole lot easier...welp, I'm in. Yes, this is Gox, and yes, I can finally speak normally. The english language is such a tricky thing to master you know? Gox 'spoke' to Hotwire. The mental link worked like a com-link, only the users could answer the messages more fluidly, and also could apply some more emotion to their answers. Gox himself was still in Hotwire's back, but his miniature needly arms had reached the proper cables that lead to Hotwire's brain module, and thus he could talk to her without actually overwhelming the piece of technology with an extra presence. It was delicate work, but it was what Gox had been designed for. Only, Gox preferred to use his abilities for a more up side.

"Ah..." Of course, unlike Gox, Hotwire wasn't used to a mental link, or designed for it. She was honest in her words - she simply added brackets sometimes when she spoke.
By reading her mind, Gox knew that altogether, Hotwire was in her job for the freedom. It was depressingly impossible to lie now.
"This feels... strange," she spoke out loud, and of course, the thoughts came through due to her having no understanding of how to suppress them, I've never had a partner before. But can I trust this guy? He's binding into my nervous system, dammit!

Gox was not permanently binding himself into her, and infact was literally listening from her back. Don't sweat it. I'll get off of you once we've landed at--where ever we're going to. So, on another note I was thinking about your last answer-- Gox responded, as he listened to Hotwire's cursing, and feelings of mistrust. Who would blame her? He was a freaky little two foot spider who she had just met about thirty minutes ago, and now he had access to her mind.
Gox didn't shift through memories or anything, since he didn't know how to exactly and since it was none of his business. He could however track what she was thinking, and send replies. Freedom sounds like a rare thing. I just have another question regarding that matter; how much do you think it'll take to buy that freedom? Or is this sort of a constant thing where you take and sell a life so that you can have more freedom? Or is freedom like a light at the end of a tunnel? Gox asked, curious of what her answer may be. he honestly was just asking what was coming to his mind, and as a spider who wasn't too well educated with his surroundings, he had many questions to ask to the possibly unfortunate Hotwire.
