Gearchange could feel his external power armor tearing off from his body, the rivets, locks and wires began to tear, trying to pull himself away and free himself. The power armor wasn't designed to take this much damage.
He thrashes out with his chainblades at both of the bounty hunters in a frenzy, trying to free himself from them.

"No honour among thieves, eh?" Hotwire snarled at Lockdown. She stepped behind Gearchange, using him as a shield for her.
As Gearchange entered his frenzy, she took a long step back behind him, and swung her leg around to hopefully slam a roundhouse kick into his head.

Pulling the hook out of his leg, he turned his helm to see her also get behind him as well. Since he was in that same spot, Lockdown watched her swing her leg up at Gear, causing him to jolt his arm forth and catch her pede with the palm of his servo. Narrowing his green optics at her, he growled and shot a spit from his intake towards her face, before taking out one of his own scatter grenades. Performing a back flip, he snapped the pin off in midair, letting it land in front of the Autobot, before he landed off to the far side. If everything would go correctly, the grenade would explode and send the bulky bot straight into Hotwire.

((Hey, sorry for my absence. I forgot to inform y'all that I'm on a trip. Since things have progressed so much already and I still don't have time to write a full IC post, I'll just say that Blackgate was sent into stasis by taking Taggon's bullets to his head.

Gearchange was flung into hotwire, he was getting rather tired of being thrown around but his systems were weakening... this was their tactic then?

Gearchange was knocked into Hotwire, who was slammed up against the wall, dazed for a moment. She shoved Gearchange away and back towards Lockdown, while drawing and aiming her EMP gun.

This was boring, he wasn't getting that thrill of the hunt that he always loved to feel, what a shame. Converting out his neutral interface cannon once again, Lockdown saw the perfect moment to strike Gearchange precisely where it would hurt now that he was being flicked straight towards his path. The green laser pointers dotted themselves onto his chassis, allowing for the bounty hunter to fire a round straight to his chestplate.

Hotwire didn't hold grudges; it wasn't businesslike. But she really wanted to sock the lanky Merc one to the jaw.
Either way, it didn't look like Gearchange could stand much more from the two of them. With her EMP gun, Hotwire fired a shot at Gearchange's back. If it hit him, it would temporarily paralyse his spine.

The shot from Hotwire hit first, paralyzing him so he couldn't move, then something heavy hits his chest like someone punching him really hard. His power armor took most of the hit from Lockdown but around his chest was a shattered section where his power armor would be. Winded he drops to the floor, his battle helm's HUD fizzling wildly as it tried to restore any functioning systems, No signal.

"Right," Hotwire stepped up smartly to Lockdown and the fallen Gearchange, "Since my shot took him down, it's only fair that I bring him in for the reward. Of course I'll give you credit where credit is due, Lockdown... For an amateur like yourself, that should be enough..."
Her lips curved into a small smirk.

"Listen closely, you dumb glitch. You hardly did worth scrap, until that one last shot you gave him on the back. I did most of the work, my neural interface cannon was what took him out. I'm not going to argue, he's going getting on my ship, now."
Retracting his gun face away, the bounty hunter raised his arm and typed in a few buttons on his build-in control on his wrist. Suddenly, his entire night ship became uncloaked and started to set course right above them. It was a bit easy, but this catch was guarantee for a big reward.

Gearchange tried to grip his servos, his back was still tingling pretty badly, his entire power armor had been rendered useless only for his battle helm which was still intact.

"I would've done a lot more if you hadn't jumped in and stolen my mark, scrap-for-brains," Hotwire retorted, "I've fought him before, I engaged him first, and you're trying to take him now?"
She fired her EMP again, this time at Lockdown's wrist, scrambling his controls and making his ship impossible to control for several minutes.
"I didn't need your help then and I won't need it now! You do not want to cheat me, punk."

It hardly mattered to him when she fired the EMP, because up at the command deck, his faceless drones were already scrambling to the course he had requested for the ship. Not even bothering to give her a reply, Lockdown approached Gearchange, still having his razor hook melee converted, swinging it straight down to the region between where his leg and pede had connected. The pain would be excruciating as he dug the hook deep into his circuits, enough to rupture his energon veins. Kneeling down, the bounty hunter shook his helm at him.
"I feel sorry for you, Gearchange. This is the loyalty your Autobot friends hold for you? Leaving you to fend off against me by yourself. I'm looking forward in seeing all your weapons. I'm sure they will be much of use to me."
He then turned up to look at Hotwire again, really tempted on just killing her right now.
"Why are you desperate on taking in this mech? You act as if your life depended on it."

"Perhaps it does," Hotwire replied, "Fine, just so that you know, Shockwave ordered me to bring in the creep, and I can't go back without him. Or possibly somebody of equal or higher rank, but he's right here, and I just fought him."
She continued sharply.
"Keep his gear if you like. But stop acting like you did it alone."

A comm link would reach Gearchange.
:: Stormgear to Gearchange, come in. Do you need assistance? :: The femme sniper commed from the A19 warship The Aries Fist. She must have picked up the two familiar mercenary life signals.

Gearchange's commline was returning nothing but static, until a coded message was displayed to her.
Incapacitated, Bounty Hunter Ship in Proximity. Shockwave's Request.
Gearchange could still hear everything being said... his weapons would be confiscated? Lockdown would be pissed if he found out the surprises he had hidden away in those devices.
He tried to move again, but Lockdown was keeping him in place.

:: Don't worry, Gearchange, I'm on my way! ::
A few minutes later, Stormgear appeared in a flash of magenta, which she recorded she was a 300 meter distance from Hotwire and Lockdown, who were the pursuers. Stormgear short-distance teleported into an alley to avoid being spotted, then began climbing the side of a tall building. The 16ft. femme eventually made it to the top, which she swiftly enabled her sniper rifle and looked to scope out Lockdown and Hotwire.
Within seconds, she had a visual, which she took in the current situation. Time to show them who they shouldn't mess with.. She thought, which shortly followed, she cocked the ammo on the rifle.

"Ah, now I see. You're on one of those missions? You should show some gratitude then. I'm the only thing that can keep you alive from the looks of your situation. Right, not as if I needed your assistance."
With the night ship now finally just above all of their helms, the bottom of its haul starts to glow and open up a circular-like pattern shape. The tractor beam would now be set, slowly having one be light on their pedes and sooner then they all knew, they were floating up towards the ship itself. Wanting to make sure that the bounty wouldn't think of any plans of escape, he dug his razor hook even deeper through his leg, allowing for more energon to gush and trickle out.
"Fine, you want to cling to your life so badly, will need to talk about a deal. First, I need to get back to my ship. If you change your mind, you're then welcome to step out of the tractor beam's range."

Gearchange grits his denta, feeling himself levitate off the ground, he tried to turn to look up...
Lockdown's ship...
