When Saiblade asked the Protectobots to hold their fire, their weapons came to a halt as the clicking sound of an empty gun replaced the sound of blaster fire. They were confused as to why they were unable to fire their weapons as they had plenty ammunition left in them. One Protectobot tried to change weapon, but failed, as if his T-Cog was removed. The Protectobots looked amongst themselves, confused. They couldn't do anything to press their attack other than use their fist and weapon-locked-arm, and that was never an optimal option.
Despite their awkward moment, they moved forward closer a Black and Red mech landed behind the furthest away Protectobot with a large thud. The mech had bright red optics that could pierce the thickest of fog. The mech had two identical chainsaw swords in each hand. Without a second of delay, the mech stood up at full height raised his right sword and swung it down onto the Protectobot's neck before he had a chance to move. By the time the other two turned around in reaction to the sound of the thud, they saw the two red optics stare right at them as the chainsaw on the right sword activated as it cut in from the Protectobot's neck down to its chest and out of its hip.
Slightly startled by the sight of seeing one of their own getting torn in half, they began to run, while trying to fire their weapons until something came out. The red and black mech sheathed his right sword and put both hands onto his left sword. The mech ran then used a concealed jump pack attached to his back to leap toward the next Protectobot, the mech raised his sword above his head, obviously planning to cut the Protectobot straight down the middle. However, his jump pack leap was too far, just going over the Protectobot's head and landing behind him.
When the mech landed he lowered both arms then let go of the sword of his right hand. The mech then turned to face the Protectobot and with an upward motion from his left arm, he cut through the Protectobot right up the middle. While he turned around, the one last Protectobot was able to fire off a few shots into the attacking mech's back. A curse escaped the mech's mouth as he let go of the sword in his left hand and reached for a new one on his back with his right as he turned around to face the last remaining Protectobot. As the mech's red optics focused on the Protectobot, it was unable to fire its weapon again. The mech was visibly angry as he raised his new sword above his head with both hands as the blade went up in flames. A grunt came from the mech as he then threw the burning blade at the Protectobot into the Protectobot's chest. If it weren't for the Autobot insignia on his chest, he could be considered a Decepticon.
"Sorry."
The mech vented as he closed his optics and then opened them again to reveal a blue colour instead now. The mech then rubbed his optics as he picked up his chainsaw sword and then walked over to pick up his flame saw and stick it back onto his back next to another sword and some sort of sniper rifle. The mech then grabbed his other sword and planted it onto the ground, placed both hands on top of the hilt, closed his optics, lowered his head and said a short prayer. Once he was done he looked up to look at Saiblade as he turned his body and removed his left hand from the hilt.
"Don't shoot. I'm an Autobot. Granted Amnesty under the Reintegration Act and yadda-yadda. Name's Skidmark. So can you explain to me what happened here? So I can explain it to, basically the Prime now, Sparkflare. I am basically working as his 'enforcer' since he can't really go anywhere fast without his T-Cog."#
((tl;dr Skidmark jumps in and kills the Protectobots, basically in cold blood because he disabled their weapons.))

SaiBlade looked at her brother before turning back to the enforcer.
"Well we were just resting for the lunar-cycle when these bots started to ask for our designations. Before we could reply we were attacked but we didn fire cause we tried to reason with them. They only stopped firing at us when I said please stop firing at us."
As she said this she started to repair her brother's leg strut keeping her sensors on high alert for any more activity.

"No they stopped firing because of me. I'm an outlier and my ability allows me to disable transformation cogs, weapons and all that. I can't control who I disable. Anyone in my line of sights gets disabled when I activate it."
Skidmark said as he lifted up his sword over his shoulder and onto his back. He looked down at the corpses. He grimaced. Clearly something was not right with these Protectobots. Something like this shouldn't happen. He raised his left hand to his helm and raised his right to signal to Saiblade to wait for a second.
:: Sparkflare, it's Skidmark. Three Protectobots went mad and started firing on some Autobots... Yes I used the Skyspray way, there was no chance of doing it peacefully... Yeah the guys who got attacked are fine. Minor injuries. Yeah, bring up a clean up crew. And find out if Skyspray hasn't disposed of Cortex yet, he could help us find out more. Yes I am being serious. If I wasn't I wouldn't have brought that bastard up... Right. Skidmark out. ::
After his conversation with Sparkflare through the comm-link, Skidmark looked at Saiblade and her brother, making sure he was right that is was a minor injury. He wasn't paying much attention.
"You can go in further. Hopefully this will be a one-off and just that. If you find anyone shooting at you again, just say that you've been granted amnesty under the Reintegration Act. They might give you looks like they want to kill you, but hey it is better than getting a bullet in the back of you're head."

"Fine by us as long as we don't get shot at by allies." SaiBlade said as she finished her repairs. StarChaser's optics seemed to dim (glaze over) before looking at his sister saying, "he's coming." SaiBlade's shoulders sagged in relief began to look around the surrounding area with her sensors on high alert. Suddenly in the distance she saw a dust cloud coming straight at them and saw a recognizable shade of blue and yellow at the front.

"Right, Skidmark. I'm here. With Cortex."
Sparkflare said as we walked down the road with a mech with a singular optic. Judging by Sparkflare's tone he seemed a bit irritated
"Sparkflare? You walked all the way here? You seem irritated. Its not good. For you especially."
"Not really. I hitched a ride off from Cortex. It was mostly a test to see if he only took orders from Skyspray or Vating. But yeah. Today has not being going smoothly. Makes me hope that Vating did not have to deal with this kind of scrap. Okay, Cortex go do your thing. And don't try to get... excited over it. Or die over it."
Sparkflare said as he pointed to the remains of the Protectobots Cortex took a few steps forward and kneeled down before the Protectobots. The optic-faced mech raised his right hand and out of each finger, extended a needle.
"This can be tricky. With corpses I can access only the last moments. If you don't mind I prefer to go through the.. eyes..."
"Just do it. I don't care how or why, just get in there and tell me why they attacked." Sparkflare said as he crossed his arms. A look of disgust was on his face as he watched Cortex inject the needles into one of the corpse's eyes. Skidmark looked away.
"Kind of disgusted by Skyspray for using Cortex. Mnemosurgery just ain't right. Megatron was heavily against mnemosurgery, right?"
Skidmark nodded.

The blue-yellow race car drifted to a stop and transformers into a young mech with a similar frame to the Autobot Jazz. He looked at SaiBlade and StarChaser and asks "What did I miss?"
"Nothing much little brother," SaiBlade said while StarChaser face-plate palmed at his twin's outgoingness.

The ship was approaching Iacon while mechs and femmes on board were more or less busy with repairs or simply recuperation. At some point the smaller racer frame leaned against one of the walls. He exented, glancing down at his energon stained frame. For the moment all of the work on his account was done. For Ratchet, it really was up to the medic and the amount of supplies that they had left. He reached into his subspace and brought out a cloth like material that appeared to have a surprisingly smooth surface, almost like liquid, without it being such, soft too, without edges. He began to wipe his digits and then full servos in it, before he started to remove more of the energon from his frame. The flight took a good long while, but at final last they were approaching Iacon and the ship began to descend. WheelSpin slipped his buffer back into his subspace and rose to his feet. He handed Ratchet a container of energon before he began to walk to the window through which he could observe their current destination. "....We're almost there. Alright, everybody, get ready for landing. The ones that need their repairs to be finished will be transported directly to the medbay." The rest could meet with this new bot that took over before they might be dismissed. "Ratchet, Roulette, Thunder, Shadowfire, Big bot. ...think it's best we meet up with Sparkflare first. Then, rest." The ship's engines grew louder as it slowed down, then with a slight jolt it was down and the doors could open. With a guarded expression of one who was probably just really tired, the flashy racer exited the ship, expecting the others to follow.

Shadowfire walked down the ramp, before looking behind him and grabbing Thunder by his arm and forcing him in front, “Go first” He just said his fusion cannon humming as the safety turned on.
Twomp growled, she didn’t like it hear with so many smells and sights.

Thunder, still incredibly damaged and mentally defeated, dropped to the ground when shoved. All that was left was the feeling of defeat...and the urge to kill this piece of work.
"Please...don't...touch me like that again." Thunder picked himself up with a grunt, his joints creaking and a few sparks emerging from his heavily damaged chassis.

Ratchet took the energon from wheel spin and nodded in compliance. He turned to his patient thunder.
”take it easy, we can finish your repairs in the medical bay thunder.” says the old medic.
Roulette stretches her limbs and stands by Wheel.
”Primus....Been a while since I’ve been here.”

"Well seems like we're not getting a welcoming party." WheelSpin arched an optic ridge but motioned for the patients to continue towards the medbay. He glanced towards Thunder and Shadowfire, making sure the more damaged of the two mechs had not just injured himself worse in the stumble. "Big bot...help carry those who can't walk, alright?" He spoke to Twomp while his optics scanned their surroundings. After a few long moments he half turned to Ratchet. "Take them to the medbay. I'll join you shortly. We don't know whether the Decepticons are planning another attack. The sooner we have everybody patched up and on the mend the better." He paused. "Roulette, help him out, and let me know if you see Sparkflare. I'll just have a quick check of the base to make sure we're all perfectly safe here and if there's any more supplies we can use."
There was another pause as he sent a comm to Sparkflare ::We've just arrived. Patients are being taken to the medbay. Where are you? what's going on?:: He really had thought that the mech would be here, though on a second thought, he might've been wrong. Sparkflare
With that the mech transformed, revved his engine once and would drive down one of the halls of the base soon after.

"Right, what did you see Cortex?"
"This one heard his one of his associates say 'identify yourselves, who are you'. As he turned around to see who was coming up at the check point he heard another one of his associates say "traitors, enemies to the Prime.' Then there was nothing when he saw the Autobot insignia. The other two's memories also stopped when they saw the Autobot insignia."
Sparkflare grimaced. He waved his hand to excuse Cortex to leave while his other covered his mouth as he thought about what he was told. Skidmark watched Cortex as he left and then to Sparkflare.
"He forgot to mention that they were firing."
Sparkflare nodded. It was hard to either trust Cortex or Skidmark. Cortex was one of Skyspray's tools and Sparkflare never really trusted Skyspray. Plus, Cortex is a freak. And despite Skidmark being Sparkflare's unofficial second in command and his loyalty being unquestionable, Skidmark was trained by the DJD and was a deadly assassin for the Decepticons before he switched teams. Sparkflare gritted his teeth as he grabbed his hood and pulled it down over his head infrustration. Nothing could ever just be as simple as black and white. Then came the comm from Wheelspin. So the remaining troops finally came back. At least that was one problem out of Sparkflare's head. Sparkflare let go of his hood to answer the comm.
:: Playing guess who, what and why. Some Protectobots went haywire at one of the checkpoints into Iacon. Started firing at two other Autobots in the name of their Prime. A team of corpse collector will be on their way now anyway. Also don't bother giving me a list on who died, got captured or missing in action and all that. I saw most of what happened via the satellite feed. But would you mind telling me if you see Aquahaze? Skyspray kindly asked me to get him a present while I was sent off to the outer rim. ::
Sparkflare lowered his hand as he waited for a reply from Wheelspin. He looked down at the corpses of the Protectobots and then back to Skidmark.
"I think we need an autopsy. Cortex said that there wasn't much to see since everything stops at them seeing and Autobot insignia, yet the clearly were shooting since it is quite obvious that one got a hit on you."
"Guess my mistake is working to my favour?"
"Yeah, and first time I have ever heard anyone say that."

"...Just repair me..." Thunder mumbled, seemingly between consciousness and unconsciousness, "This isn't my home...but I have to save Dia...I promised her."

"Who are you?" SaiBlade asked as SkyBlade stood by her side while StarChaser ducked behind SaiBlade. "They look like fellow Autobots sis" SkyBlade said putting his sevors on his hip struts.

Rather was address by the racer and he nodded. He turned to his patient and was about to speak before he was interrupted by him.
”Promises can go with a little wait” he remarked before taking him and the other patients to the medical bay.
Roulette nodded at wheel spin. ”understood Spins, I’ll let ya know if I find him.” she then goes on a head and walks with ratchet to the medical bay.

Shadowfire left to go find Brokenspark and make sure she didn’t do anything while he was gone, with twomp sitting down and looking around for something to do.

:: As much as I hate fake Primes, I doubt Vating would've been the reason. He never came off as a person who would do this. He was more of a shy person. Probably Zeta, bastard always had a problem with the idea of anyone being against him, I wouldn't be surprised if his sanity dropped so low the sad worm considered that anything that didn't look like him was an enemy. Guess I should look over what the three steps just in case there is an extra step hidden in. Sparkflare out. ::
Sparkflare then walked up to one of the Protectobot corpses and looked at the base of the neck. Sparkflare's face did not change. He knew the model of the Protectobot.
A clean up crew of Protectobots soon arrived at Sparkflare and Skidmark's location. As they loaded up the corpse onto the carrier, Sparkflare told them to take the corpses to the morgue. The clean up crew loaded up and drove off. Sparkflare and Skidmark walked in the same direction.
"I can't believe Cybertron is alive again. After so many years of being in space and different planets... Its odd to think that we are back were back were the war started."
"Yeah. The only question that will we find ourselves going in circles."
"I doubt our race would continue to exist by the time Cybertron shuts down again. There is only so little of us left. Its mostly just MTOs now. But I guess we should not forget why we are back."
"Yet you're already seem to have gotten yourself distracted."
"Yeah. But I couldn't just stand there and let them burn and die."
"You burden yourself too much."
"Better than doing nothing."

Wheelspin followed along the open road, or what was left of it, what was left of the city. He'd slowed down, to give the little one a chance to keep up in his less gainly and made for speed form. He'd slowed down once or twice, and even let him rest. When he did he had them move into one of the buildings, where they could remain safe. "So how are you holding up so far?" He asked, smiling towards the little alt form (well, little being a relative form, as he would probably be much bigger than the race car, once in his full size) after he'd transformed as well. He would wait if Aquahaze needed some refueling and even offered a small canister to him to take. Once ready, they could go on. Skyspray (Aquahaze)

The sparkling had happily followed, taking it as fast as he dared to go in his new mode. It was not as fast as the racer, but not much slower either. He had the advantage of being a few feet above ground, thus ignoring all the bumps and such in the road. Aquahaze stopped when Wheelspin did, transforming into his robot mode and began looking around. No place he recognized, that was for certain.
Are we there yet? I wanna play now!
The youngster said, looking up at the older one with his yellow optics glistening. He did not know where they were going, but he did accept the energon given to him, and hungrily consumed it all. He knew that following the racer would be necessary now, and he did not want to lose track of him, so once he would leave, so would Aqua. Maybe they would get to the fun soon!

"Just a little longer." He promised and smiled. "How do you fancy going to a ship ride?" He asked before transforming and once more waiting for the smaller one to do the same. "Stick with me, alright. I will keep you safe." It was a promise he hoped he could keep. For now, he knew he was stalling just a bit. He could not stall for much longer. He knew what the orders were and he was to follow them to a T. His plans for later had been made. He started of to the edge of Iacon. Once they neared their location, he commed the little one. ::Stick close to me.:: He murmured, knowing that the area was not exactly the most pleasant one, even if the battles have been finished. ::We're almost there. :: He did stop soon after, transforming once more. When the ship arrived he would lead them inside. Skyspray (Aquahaze)
