Transformers (TFP) Stranded

Chase

Knockout had no time to react before Starscream sprung forward shoving Soundwave and himself to the side just as the massive predacon launched itself right at them.

The three bots tumbled to the floor in a heap as the cave floor shook as the predacon landed in their previous spot. The beast spun around and snarled at them, swinging its claws in their direction while rocks crumbled around them.

​"Scatter!" Starscream squeaked and shot off to another portion of the cave.

Soundwave followed suit towards the entrance near the pouring rain outside. Knockout looked up and saw the massive claw coming down to swipe him straight across the face. The red mech quickly rolled to the side, dodging the blow.

He reached into his subspace and withdrew his electric staff, jerking it to life with a sharp crackle. Knockout turned on his knees and jabbed the staff right into the beast's side. The predacon roared in pain, thrashing around the cave, knocking down stalactites in its wake with large crashes.

​Knockout dashed across the cave to a safe distance near Starscream's position. They watched as the predacon angrily swung its body into the cave wall, dislodging the staff from its frame. The lightning bolts dissipated from its side, and the beast twisted its head toward Soundwave. The predacon swished its tail and swung it right into the silent mechs side, the metal colliding and scraping against each other as Soundwave was sent crashing into a stalagmite.

​"Soundwave!" Knockout cried.

The silent mech's already marred frame sparked with pain, but that didn't stop his visor's eye-less glare from looking straight at the predacon without an inch of fear. Soundwave got to his pedes, swaying on his stance, and shot out his tentacles at the beast's legs. The predacon slashed at the odd devices, slicing some in the midst of it. The remaining tentacles wound themselves around the predacon's back legs.

Soundwave wrenched them backwards, slamming the predacon to the floor with a growl of fury. The blow shook the cavern, and the predacon struggled to break its legs free.

​Knockout took the advantage of the moment by racing toward the fallen creature. He bent down to snatch one of the broken stalactites off the ground and leaped at the beast. He plunged the sharp point into the beast's other side, earning a furious roar of pain. The predacon swatted Knockout away with its claws, slashing across Knockout's chest plate, spraying bright blue energon into the air. Knockout was sent skidding across the cave floor in a heap.

​The medic's vision blurred for a moment as he slowly tried to sit up against the burning sting in his chest plate. Knockout glanced down to see three large gashes slashed across his chest plate, dripping with energon. Knockout clenched his servos, slowly getting to his peds despite the throbbing pain on his chest.

​"Bad call, beastie." He hissed, wiping his arm across his scratched face plates.

The predacon was tugging on its restraints flexing its claws and glaring at Knockout with a low growl.

"Someone should teach you not to ruin other's property." He sent a glance behind him, eyeing his weapon with a smirk.

​"You're gonna pay for laying one claw on my finish!" he shouted.

​"Starscream, now!"

​Starscream, who hadn't moved from his position, understood immediately.

The seeker raced across the cavern towards Knockout's frame, which was now crouched low with his servos placed firmly on the ground in front of him. Starscream dashed forward, stepping onto Knockout's servos with extreme grace as Knockout swung his arms upward, sending the light seeker through the air right at their target. Starscream twisted his thin body in the air, his sharp claws ready to strike and his wings flat against his frame. The predacon raised its helm as Starscream swung his leg around with a shrill cry and slamming it right into the beast's temple, the sharp heel grating into the thick metal making sparks fly. The predacon's head crashed to the ground as it roared ferociously, Starscream landing with a sharp clatter on top.
