(( Since most of what Soundwave can and can't do is placed on the reaction of our Medical gal, I'm gonna hold off postin' until after she does then I'll react accordin'ly to both Sounds and Screamer.

((Fear not. There is not three on one. Nay, it shall not be.))
Nary but seven thousand feet off, flew a vessel of obscured origin, whom had indeed endeavoured for but a placid situation and opportunity within the darkened skies of the night. It was the technology the particular ship posed to cloak itself, thusly obscuring itself from any sky-watchers, or any designated mechs or femmes whom had their optics keened to the stars above. But Low and behold, as the undetected jet flew without a sound, the audios of the said frigate heeded nary the sounds of distress signals, but the blasts of a fight! Even from it's position, the masked marauder honed in on the sounds, and tilted it's wings to the left to circle downwards, and around.
The ship who had been gifted with flight was a Decepticon, and upon lowering his height, and applying advanced vision to observe the happenings of below, he spoke unto himself, within his processor; An Autobot upper hand does not bode well. He told himself, and still with his cloak functional, he allowed each wing tip to unsheathe a blaster each, fit for a dog fight, or in this current situation, an air assault. The jet hence took careful precision at one of the Autobots, a medic by her marks. The jet took but a second for extra aim, and then released a chorus of Scraps for her position, simultaneously musing on the saying, 'DEATH FROM ABOVE!'. It was a clever feeling, that slipped through the concealed chassis, as he swopped upwards after attacking from above, the bullets that had been shot had been aimed for her upper body. From the air, certain cover could not be provided occasionally.
The aerial mech continued to fly, his ceasing of fire allowing him to mask his location once more, seeming to become one with his surroundings once again.

Seeing the right hook coming her way, Chiro quickly remembered why she was a defensive fighter, not offensive. She dropped, aiming to grab his planted ped as she slid by to disrupt his run and plant a EMP on him at the same time. If she was able to, she'd partially swing around before letting go of both him and the other EMP bomb, aiming to slid off on a side street for cover.
If not, she'd just continue forward, dropping the EMP bombs below him, though how much damage they would do to him and her both would vary depending on their distances. She could handle being nearby, she had defenses towards her own weapons due to situations like this, but it was going to hurt if she was too close. Seconds later she felt the blast wash over her as the bombs went off, just barely in the danger range as her internal Faraday cage absorbed most of it but her systems glitched momentarily with the remaining energy.
As her sliding slowed to a stop, a shower of bullets came down at her from seemingly nowhere. Many hit their mark, her ablative armor absorbing most of the bullets. When the armor was spent, some of the remaining bullets lodged themselves in the basic armor underneath while a few pierced through, hitting and disrupting her internal Faraday cage before lodging themselves into some of her internals. She groaned as her systems recovered from the EMP and she made herself flip over onto her stomach and got up, small streams of Energon leaking from a few of the wounds.
She then started running, though pained, weaving between buildings on her way to the now two Autobots signals, knowing better than to sit and become an easy target. As she did so, she scanned for where the bullets came from, but wasn't finding anything. It couldn't have been the Decepticon seeker who was circling over a building that Soundwave was now heading for, so there had to be a third Decepticon or something. She prepped her Energon shield for quick deployment should another shower come down at her.

A Groundbridge opens and Shade walks through it Chiro? Dear Primus I haven't seen you sinc that op with my father on Cybertron. How've you been? Shade's draws his katanas Wait, I'm picking up Decepticon signals, I meditated and saw a faint signature coming from here Shade looks up It seemed to be coming from the air. Shade sheaths one of his Katanas and pulls out his Nucleon Charge Rifle

Bo saw the Decepticon dart to the right. As he came to where the mech had gone, he drove his back hooves into the ground. His hindquarters slid around the corner in an arc, dirt and concrete flying everywhere.
Looking up and seeing the Decepticon running on the rooftops, Bo revved his engine in irritation, not happy that the mech had gotten away. He knew he couldn't just jump up onto the roof - it wouldn't hold his weight. Checking his scanners, he picked up Chiro's signal and another Autobot's. Making up his processor, he went into a steady lope, headed towards Chiro's location. He noticed a trail of Energon on the ground.
Picking up the pace, he came around a corner and was just in time to see a Ground Bridge closing. He approached Chiro and the other mech, all but one gun retracting into his frame as he slowed down.

"I've been better, Shade. And yes, it's been a while." Chiro smiled at the young mech. "And yes, it seems that Soundwave has air support. I shouldn't be one to talk, but I think it's unwise to chase the fleeing 'Con currently."
She looked up hearing heavy hoof-steps and smiled as she saw the massive form of Bo come around the corner. "Ah, Bo." She smiled at the horse before she suddenly cringed, putting a servo to her chest, the pain slowly sinking in. Perhaps the bullets that made it through her armor hit a few more sensitive spots than she initially realized. "If you could, stay with Jazz. He's not in the best condition himself. I would continue, but I need to go and get myself repaired." She took her servo off of the wound and eyed the energon that came with it.
She shook her head then smirked at the two younger mechs. "I've been sitting around for too long and thus have gotten rusty. So you two get going and I'll see you back at the base later." With a nod and a smile, she stepped away from the two. She figured she'd call a short-distance groundbridge as she wanted to be nearby, in case she was needed soon. She also knew she'd ignore her own wounds in favor of repairing others if she headed back to base immediately. As it was, she was likely to be the one repairing her wounds anyway and she did have her medkit with her.
Thus, she picked a nearby area that was mountainous, in order to hide from human sight. Calling the short-distance groundbridge, she stepped through the green vortex and it closed behind her.

"Alright, I'll stay with Jazz," Bo replied as he stopped. "I'll see you back at base later."
Turning his helm to look at the other mech, he answered his question. "My designation is Robustspeed, but I prefer 'Bo'. I saw a Decepticon running on the rooftops earlier; I would have followed him if the rooftops were able to support my weight. But we must find Jazz - Chiro said he was not in the best condition."
He deployed his two X24 Scrapmakers and two Electro Ion Blasters. The Scrapmakers were on his hips, each able to aim in a different direction. The Electro Ion Blasters came out of his shoulders. After the weapons were out of their stored spot, Bo's armor shifted so the openings were covered completely, protecting his internals from enemy fire. Armor then slid up along his neck, starting at the shoulders and ending at the back of his helm. A facemask covered up Bo's face, slants in the metal where his nose was to allow his systems to cycle air through. Anyone who saw him right now would be slightly scared; it was a fearsome sight to see a horse of his size with 4 guns deployed and armor covering his neck and faceplates.

It was nary a time for fear while in flight, and as the cloaked frigate saw the medic take her leave, he frowned upon her easily eschewing. It was just typical, for an Autobot not to stand by and take all the hits they could. The next mech Chaff assembled is thoughts on targeting was the mech who was currently transforming into a walking shoot suit. (Bo) Chaff flew soundlessly from behind, first applying a bit of his thrusters to fly across the sky, and then concluding his flight with some gliding, so that his decent was quiet. Still having a cloaking device on, Chaff made sure that he transformed but twenty yards from the mech who had made himself into a ton of guns.
Now in robot mode, Chaff lowered his seeker wings, his yellow vertical visor analyzing the mech as thoroughly as he could from the back. It was clear the mech was well armored, which called for one of Chaff's handy grenades; a glassglas grenade. The vehicon selected the weapon from his belt, ever so silently creeping up on Bo, so that he would not be heard as he approached. Chaff knelt down some to the ground, slipping his fingers so that nearly the slightest sound would emit from him, as he uncapped the grenade and then gently let it roll forwards, the bomb being timed for five seconds. The grenade was directly between the feet of Bo when it flashed a red light for the fifth time, it had not blared, but it was still an indication that the grenade was about to go off, then it thusly did just that. The effect of the glass gas would be that Bo's armor would be turned quite brittle, and quite so that it would shatter as easily as glass did, no matter the thickness.
Chaff had meanwhile backed away some, letting his arm transform into his vehicon blaster, with a small sniper upgrade. It had a scope, and Chaff used the targeting system to hone on the center of Bo''s neck, or approximately where it would be, and fire just after the glassgas had exploded, knowing that where he had hit would be hard to miss. Chaff then prepared himself for the opponent to whirl around, pointing all the deadly guns at him. Chaff was still cloaked however...

Hearing something beeping and rolling along the ground, the only thing that went through Bo's processor was that there was a grenade about to go off under him. With a speed no one would expect from a mech his size, he charged forward and slightly sideways, barely avoiding the blast and the shot. He knew it was a glassgas grenade, and as he stopped at the end of the street, the two Scrapmakers aimed at whoever the attacker was behind him. A barrage of bullets peppered the area, hitting whoever it was if there was someone.
Flipping around, Bo let out an enraged roar of his engines, snorting black smoke from his nostrils. He had his heat scanner on, and picked up on the heat signature of his attacker. Seeing a weapon aimed at him, he fired his Electro Ion Blasters at the ground right in front of the mech.
"Who the slag are you?" Bo growled, aiming all of his weapons right at the cloaked mech.

Starscream was immediately starting to grow impatient. It shouldn't be taking this fragging long to get themselves back to base. Then again, he wasn't all excited about Shockwave being leader and if he had the choice, he wouldn't even bother showing up for his coronation ceremony. He knew all to well he wasn't going to have his second in command rank like he did under Megatron's leadership, so he had to cooperate and rise himself above to a more favorable position. He could never let some of these idiots try to bark commands out towards him. Drifting the thought away, he transformed out of his jet mode, letting his pedes touch the top of the building, watching Soundwave approaching. He figured it was only kind of himself to assist him, before he took on any unneeded injuries.
This is taking to long. We don't want to keep our all glorious mighty leader waiting, Soundwave. Here, hurry up and get over here, ill give you some cover.
Raising one of his arms up, Starscream started to look around the area, pointing his weapon at any possible nearby enemy targets. The seeker's faceplate quickly formed out a smirk when he saw Bo. His most favorite tactic, hitting someone when they were distracted with their backs turned. Aiming, he fires out a heat seeker missile from his weapon, hoping it will hit him while he was busy paying attention to the other Decepticon.

Hmm. This guy just can't blow up like a normal Cybertronian. Chaff rolled his optics behind his helm once the mech whirled around. it seems everyone possessed pretty good reflexes these days, and though Chaff could take into consideration how he was smaller, and thusly could move faster--still, upgrades or not, spinning around had been inevitable, and thus somewhat predictable. Chaff, still cloaked, took his own turn rolling to the side as the large volley of shots fired his way. Some still hit him of course, since everything was being fired machine-gun style, though his armor was more then capable of taking a beating.
As for the electrical ion blast, Chaff was thusly electrocuted, his form briefly outlined. After pain racking his systems, Chaff uncloaked to reveal himself. He had the frame of a seeker vehicon, only he was more sleek, and had more of a commando like look to him. Being funeral black with a long emerald stripe stretching from the tip of his left wing to the ankle of his right leg, it was clear Chaff was no ordinary vehicon. Using his sniper-rifle like blaster, after he found his bearings he pointed it at Bo.
"I am what I am, and I am who I always will be, and who I always will be who I am, and what I am is who I always will when I am what I am." Chaff answered back blithely and easily, as he fired one precision shot at Bo's pelvic girdle, in the dead center of it. Chaf took another shot at Bo's neck, and then he took a time to commence reloading, since the gun's current clip had been low on ammunition.
Chaff made sure to stagger back some, the electrocution still having some effects on his legs, but they would wear off as he went.

The bullets skipped off of Bo's armor, leaving dents. The only thing that could get through the heavy armor was a special type of armor-piercing bullet, one that was difficult to find. A heat-seeking missile hit him on the side, but it barely left a dent.
Unfazed, Bo brought out another set of guns, this time his Ion Blasters. Now he had two sets of guns on his shoulders. Before the mech could get out of the Electro Ion Blasters' range, another series of shots hit the ground on either side.

(( I was waiting for Jazz, but she's been sick lately and not up to Rping. So one quick question later and we can finally end this thing, sorry for making this so drawn out. ))
Finally reaching the desired building with one final leap onto it's side, a 50 story marketing centre of some sorts, Soundwave dug his digits and pedals into it's concrete surface. Clinging on with enough force to crack the wall around his appendages, he wasted no time in waiting for somebody to shoot him and began climbing. Using windows and sometimes just forcing a chunk out of building for a hold, he effortlessly scaled the tower and made his way up to Starscream's location. Now on the 40th floor, he let go with one hand and leaned back, turning his helm to look at the attacking Seeker as he fired upon an approaching Autobot. He briefly noticed another Decepticon in the area, one who must have used some form of stealth equipment to evade detection for so long. Pity, he could have used something stealthy like that to blanket the area. Returning his gaze to Starscream, he made his move. Pulling himself into the building slightly, he suddenly leapt out into the open air towards the Seeker.
Starscream, transform and open your cockpit.
Less of a request and more of a straight command, Soundwave took the air-time to lessen Starscream's load. Transforming with the almost simple twisting and reshaping of limps, the comms officer suddenly engaged a form of mass-shifting, where he placed his excess bulk in subspace to allow him to be his current form. Flying at Starscream with the grace of a rectangle, because that's what he was, the dark blue form of a Human, ''Cassette player'' cartwheeled towards the hovering mech. He'd managed to shrink down to the size needed to pull off the disguise, which also meant someone like Starscream could accommodate for him. However, he seemed to be banking on the idea people just straight up followed his orders and asked questions later, which if that didn't prove true at this precise moment, he'd end up a shattered mess 40 stories down...

Just like that, his smirk faded away, now turning into a scowl after he saw the results of his missile attack. Impossible, from this distance, even he could see it barely left him any damage. Still seeing he had a chance, Starscream flipped out his nucleon charge rifle, peaking his optic through the scope as he started to aim again at Bo. He fired a round straight to the back of his leg, before hearing Soundwave's voice. Placing his rifle away, the seeker scuffed at him, sliding his yellow glassed cockpit back. Those commanding requests were seriously starting to drive through his skid plates.
Fine, but I don't see why I..
Before finishing his sentence, Starscream shockingly looked at how he was able to transform into his alternate form and seemingly compact himself in such a size to be just small enough to fit inside his jet's piloting seats and controls. Transforming into his F-15 again, his twin engines let out a roar as he soared up at a high speed, directly aiming to pass into the clouds. There was still another Decepticon in the area, oh well, better him then he.
Doubting anyone was going to follow them, he sent a comm frequency directed to the Nemesis for a groundbridge.

As Bo watched the mech get electrocuted, he didn't know that Starscream had shot at him again. The next thing he knew was that his right hind leg felt like it was on fire. The bullet had hit his hock, shattering the joint as it passed through.
"Ack!" Grinding his dentas, Bo ducked behind the corner and looked up into the sky. He saw a jet flying away. Transforming to his 48-feet-tall bipedal mode, he leaned against the building and pointed his shoulder-mounted Ion Blasters at the fleeing jet.
Aiming just in front of the jet, he fired a series of shots, intent on knocking the jet out of the air.

The bullets flew at Chaff, and the vehicon gave a side step, angling his body so that it would be parallel to the lines of fire, as well as in-between. The inventor had placed his shoulder in front of the rest of his body, as to let it take damage. Since it was one of the more heavily armored parts of his, Chaff did just that. It still hurt some to be shot, but at least he was still online. Chaff analyzed the situation then and there, his superiors were leaving, meaning that there would be one of him, and one tank. Chaff was not one who liked unfinished business, so he decided he'd give this mech a shot. Chaff continued to back up, and then the mech hid behind a building thanks to an attack from Starscream.
Chaff came around to the other side of the building, which was across from Bo's. Chaff uncapped a normal explosive grenade, and he timed it for five seconds, but he did not uncap it and let it role. After a few brief calculations Chaff let his arm whip forward after he officially uncapped the grenade, intending it to skip some on the rock, and make it's way to the Autobot as it began to flash red. Chaff then executed another maneuver, coming out from his cover, and running to the side, since his legs for the most part were functional, and he commenced taking aim through his scope. Allowing the cross in the scope to center in on Bo's visor before Chaff pulled his weapon's trigger twice. The shots were intended to either find the weak point in the 'bots armor, or miss and draw his attention to Chaff. It was a win-win situation, since Chaff wanted the bot to be looking his direction as the grenade that Chaff had thrown came at him.
Chaff was endangering himself to the Autobots fire though, since he was no longer cloaked, and he despite the distance, the Autobot could still predict where Chaff was heading as the vehicon kept dashing to the side after the two shots, lowering his scope.

Finally, his comm was heard and just about half a mile, a groundbridge portal appeared. As shots flew by, the seeker started to maneuver through the air, gliding from side to side and spinning his entire jet mode. It probably wouldn't be to comfortable for Soundwave who was currently inside his cockpit. It hardly mattered much to him on the incoming fire, his speed made him move incredibly fast in his natural element, the skies. Letting out a loud sinister laughter on the Autobot's foolish attempt of stopping him, he boasted upwards, flying through the portal.

Growling in frustration, Bo lowered his weapons as his scanners picked up the signal of the lone Decepticon. He tracked the signal, and realized that he was now on the other side of the building. Hearing the unmistakable sound of a grenade being uncapped, he transformed back to his beast form.
Seeing the Vehicon run out of cover and aiming at him, Bo leapt to one side, firing both his Ion and Electro Ion Blasters at the Decepticon. Despite the fact that his right hind leg was pretty much useless with the shattered hock, he still could move on three legs surprisingly well.
The grenade went off next to him, and the shock from the explosion sent another wave of pain through the injured joint. Ignoring the pain, Bo loped forward, holding his right hind leg off the ground, and followed. While he was following the Vehicon, he kept an optic out for the Autobot designated Jazz.

((Apologies for the long-time posts. RL is intervening, and I cannot do much to stop it. I'll try to keep being on top of this though, thanks for the patience.))
Chaff made it his priority to just dodge the electro blasts, since they were the more annoying of the two lines of fire. His chest armor took the beating, the metal making clanging noises as multiple shots hit their marks, bringing pain to Chaff as it did so. The vehicon then switched his pattern in running, now darting the other way, while angling himself backwards just a tad. Chaff was a bit surprised to see this bot had a beast form, and for a heart beat in his mind, he yelped, What the Primus-forsaken frag?! I'm going up against a predicon? Chaff kept his cool, retaining to his dash, which had allowed him to maneuver out of the line of fire. Chaff had by now built up enough momentum to let his weapon transform back into his arm, which was now a servo once more.
The mech yanked his body to the side, and out stretched his servos to perform a cartwheel. As he committed this, he transformed into his own alternate mode, which was the black and sleek jet like vehicon drone vessel. Now with a pair of wings to carry him across the air quickly, Chaff piloted himself to rear backwards as his turret guns unfolded from above each wing, opening fire upon the beast, aiming for the mouth of the creature. If you want dnner, you get it! Chaff thought, he couldn't really speak without electing a voice, and since he was in combat, he was a little too occupied to be selecting a voice to slander his opponent with. The damage given previously to Chaff had partially weakened his lower hull, and also some of his canopy, but the vehicon was fully aware of this and saw to it he was a good thirty feet in the air soon enough as he continued to fire down on the beast.
