Yes sir, falling back now.
Riptide took one last look in the distance, futilely trying to spot the sniper before turning to catch up with Gearchange. He took a look at the human and raised an optic ridge in interest.
Since when do humans wear armor?

Gearchange looked away and then towards the groundbridge...
Yeah... lets get going, I need to get this wound seen to.
The mech was certain that the human down there wasn't real... no doubt a holographic avatar which all cybertronians created to further disguise themselves and learn human cultures.

The last vantage point the sniper had used was a larger parking lot maybe at most 0.15 km's away, he wouldn't pick a parking lot again eventually he would find a building with enough elevation and cover to hide from scanners. After all he was the one with a long range scope and an awarness of the Autobot's, they on the other hand hadn't even proceeded to track him down. Now it was just a matter of setting up position which would take mere seconds as the sniper found a suitable building and began his ascent.

The figure would look over to Riptide, sighing a bit as he answered the 'bot.
Since war is a common occurrence here...
The figure would then hear Gearchange's comment about a wound and look back over to the mech, standing up from where he was sitting.
Care to let me have a look at that wound..?

Alright... I'll be up here...
Gearchange finds refuge behind a pile of rubble on the first floor.
There's more to him that meets the eye...

Setting up in the disclosed location again the sniper made his traditional observations to try and avoid sight with them from their current location, he was too far by now to be spotted naturally from the Autobot's location as he zoomed in again looking straight through his scope. They where only on the first floor or what remained of it at least as he glimpsed over each Autobot's frame trying to observe them he'd seen the larger mech Gearchange move into cover. He was injured after all hitting him would be likely the easiest decision, however it might make more sense to simply take down another "healthy" target.
Then he chose his target as the sniper made a decision to line up Grief-Aura's chestplate in scope, the mech had seen him when he took the shot and although any standout details on his frame had been hidden except for his bloodred optics there was always the chance the mech could make some distinctions. Staring down the sight he recognised the light limp the mech made as he moved a sign of a weaker leg most likely, that usually meant slower reactions although from his vantage point he'd done his bet to avoid giving them even a chance to react.
His bullet would reach them long before any sound could, a single bullet was all it took to snuff out a life. The mech just needed his weapon charged as he kept his sights trained on his targets centre mass like any trained sniper would. By all means the sniper could take the shot right now but every second he let drift by meant the energy round got warmer and by extent more deadly.

The figure would walk over to Gearchange, climbing up the mech all the way up to the shoulder where the shot had entered before taking a look inside.
Hmm... Looks like repairs are in order for you...
He would then climb into the wound and find the bullet, tossing it out the wound from where it entered before getting a blowtorch out of his messenger bag and beginning to repair Gearchange's wound from the inside out.

Riptide yelped as energon from Grief splattered on him. It had happened so fast that he stood frozen for a second, staring as the small mech fell to the ground.
Fragging Primus!
Riptide would grab the body and move behind a car, laying down behind it for cover. He began checking his scanner for anymore signals. None, the sniper was out of range.
((See ya Grief))

( That'll be it for me at the moment. Drag his aft back to base if you can- I'd appreciate it. Besides that, thanks for the RP. Let me know via Skype where Griefy winds up please, Gears? ) OOC: Thanks for the RP as well Grief good to see you rping on the forums again.

As Gearchange was being repaired he felt the need to ask a question.
Who are you exactly and why are you using a hologram, I've not been able to track your Electro Magnetic signature.

The figure would grunt as he fixed up any major damage he could find.
That's because I'm not a hologram, my dear sir...
He would then hear the shot ring out and cuss under his breath, exiting from Gearchange's wound and sealing it up with a piece of scrap metal before running over to Riptide's position, getting behind the car with the mech.
I need you to tell me exactly how he was shot... Now...

Staring down the scope his weapon as the round hit Grief-Aura the mech had enough satisfaction to allow a smirk to form under his battlemask, the stasis-locked Autobot's frame would make a perfect lure as he began to cycle the bolt back. The assuring and hardy click confirming the weapon was ready to fire another round from the rotating chamber all the while the weapon's barrel continued to heat up to further ridiculous levels. Last time he'd fired the shot had went straight through Grief-Aura's chest plate and clean through the backplate, this time he was going to fire an even hotter energy round.
It would only be a question of who as the sights stared down the injured mech just waiting for an Autobot to move out of cover and allow him to take the shot. In reality the longer the Autobot's took the more deadly the snipers shots where going to get, in the process of figuring out exactly where the others where he switched the scope to a long range EM vision. Although it was hard to make out in the distance eventually he spotted the outline of a large and bulky mech, will behind a car he could make out the shapes of the downed Grief-Aura and Riptide who had pulled him behind.
Even cover could be seen through using EM vision.

How the frag do you think he was shot!? With a sword!? It was a freakin gun!
He responded angrily, still in a little bit of shock. It usually wasn't like the mech to be rude but now he was under a lot of pressure. The car wouldn't provide much cover. He needed to get out of here with the human and Grief. He commed Gear as he hefted his marksmen rifle.
::Sir, the new guy is down. He'll need to be evacuated immediately. I'll lay down cover fire.::
He aimed down the sniper scope and began scanning the area for the sniper, switching on the scope's EM vision. He picked up a faint signal and targeted it. He held his breath before firing as he let it out.

The figure would grunt as he got the snarky answer to his question, examining the wound before beginning to repair it from the inside out like he did for Gearchange, making sure to repair any life-endangering and major damages first.
Not what I meant, but alright...

Once this Autobot's been patched, we should evac... being pinned down like this isn't really what I had in mind today.
Gearchange began to shift round onto his side so that he could see Riptide.

Having already picked his target the moment he saw Riptide moving Shadow-Strike had took the shot on the exact position Riptide would need to move into get any hope of a shot on him, he'd just tried to counter-snipe a sniper who had been homing his sights on them all along as Shadow-Strike's round flew the air towards it's target. Yet again it seemed to be another shot destined to meet a mech's chest plate as it glided through the air at speeds matching and on some occasions passing the speed of light. Shadow-Strike however didn't give himself any time to watch the shot, he knew he was currently in the firing line as he desperately rolled as far as he could to the side.
The pre-emptive reaction giving him more than enough time to avoid the lethal shot that would have cracked his helm and instantly shattered his processor into pieces. Instead it just flew by him narrowly missing his shoulderguard, however Riptide had succeeded with suppressive fire in the process of the roll Shadow-Strike had been forced to let go of his weapon. Now not only did he have to look back down the sights to see the aftermath of his own shot but he had to pick up the weapon and interlink it with his systems before it went cold.
Already the weapon was rapidly losing heat as every second Shadow-Strike wasted rebooting the weapon it's deadly potential it had built up was draining.

Meanwhile, Crashcourse pulled over and transformed. Knowing the sniper was still about, she knew she had to get ahold of him. I cant just talk... she thought, then looked upward and around to see if she could some sort of flicker or glint from the sniper's scope.

Riptide had anticipated the quick counter shot though, and had rolled as soon as he pulled his trigger. Mili-seconds later he heard the impact of the shot Shadow had fired slam into the ground. Riptide quickly dashed behind a building across the road, his agility allowing him to make the trip in seconds. He peeked out from the corner of the wall and aimed his scope once again. He picked up the EM signal again and fired, twisting back behind the wall a moment after he pulled the trigger. The blue laser from his rifle streaked through the air towards Shadow-Strike's position.

The figure would keep repairing Grief's wound as the sound of a prop-plane could be heard nearby... Seemingly out of nowhere, a Mitsubishi A7M Reppu would dive on Shadow-Strike's position after triangulating the Decepticon's position, unloading its 4 20 mm cannons on the Decepticon before dropping a bomb on the mech's position and pulling away, zooming off into the distance afterwards and flying between some buildings in order to have cover. As far as the figure on the ground was concerned, this attack was just background noise while he repaired the injured mech before him.

OOC: Sorry Riptide but honestly got to call a bit of bsing on Riptide's ability to move out of cover, look down his sniper scope, switch the scope to EM vision, locate Shadow-Strike, aim your sights on Shadow to get a semi-decent shot, pull the trigger and then roll out of the way all in the time it takes from Shadow-Strike's energy round (what's moving quicker than the speed of light by the time it reaches maximum velocity) to leave the barrel and connect with Riptide.
