ROCK'EM SOCK'EM ROBOTS [BIG OPEN FIGHT LOG]

[sufferist]

Who: Signless, Robots, and YOU
Where: City Hall, and all over downtown LA.
When: April 14th
What: Signless bates the Cybetronians into having a big fight in downtown LA while attempting to get a valuable artifact. Earth civilians and superheroes are SUPER WELCOME to notice the fuss and try to stop the fighting/safe people from collateral damage.
Warnings: SUDDENLY ROBOT ULTRAVIOLENCE

Signless leaves himself, and the hammer, visible at first. He wants them to see him, to know that the battle is imminent - and with any luck, a conflict will start. He'll do his best to disappear and keep them hunting for him as as long as possible after he's initially been spotted. Maximum collateral damage is his goal.

It also helps that he's an empath. He'll be taking whatever opportunities he can to agitate people's emotions, whether it be anger, panic, or fear, in the attempt to make ever more chaos.

This is a party style log, meaning you can make you own threads and scenarios. Signless will be around with the hammer. LET'S MAKE THIS AS BIG OF A CLUSTERFUCK AS POSSIBLE, GUYS.

Arcee feels a little swell of confidence when Orion manages to land a hit on Megatron, but any hits they get in are just lucky shots in the end. She's in too close to get away from his blade when he unsheaths it -- she tries to dodge nimbly out of the way but the blade catches her across the midsection, cutting deep into energon lines, and Arcee staggers back with a choked shout, one hand flying to her abdomen.

"Megatron -- " What starts as an angry shout turns into a howl of frustration as Arcee's legs buckle underneath her, and she goes down hard.

This fight has been a disaster. Magus has been delayed by humans, stopped by local law enforcement, and delayed by Decepticons. They've broken their agreement with Legion. He's lost track of the others and as far as he can tell the Forge isn't here. He's reached the limits of his patience, and they're not done yet.

By the time he manages to near the city hall, he's already been forced to desert his altmode. He comes running in from the side, one hand already cycled to energon blaster. And pulls short as he sees Arcee go down. This is bad. His face drops in shock but he steels himself immediately. He's not letting the Autobots lose another bot, not over this. He bracing himself and dashes towards Megatron, launching himself forward. He rams into the other bot with his shoulder at full speed, hoping to knock him further from Arcee.

"ORION! Get her out of here!" He barks the order as he rebalances himself from the impact, not taking his eyes off Megatron, blaster at the ready.

For a moment, Orion is frozen in shock, having just watched Arcee take that possibly killing strike. But Ultra Magnus's voice is all it takes. Though he's very wary of getting so close to Megatron now, he moves towards her as quickly as he can, broken leg or no broken leg.

He scoops her up into one of his massive arms and, with only one lingering glance at Megatron, launches himself into truck form, taking Arcee with him as he goes roaring away from the combat.

Megatron pushes himself back to his feet, optics narrowed. He hears Orion go, but doesn't stop to watch him – his eyes, and his cannon, are fixed on Ultra Magnus as he slowly straightens up. And although he looks faintly disgusted that the Autobot took him by surprise, he certainly doesn't seem disappointed.

"Ultra Magnus," he says. "Excellent – I was beginning to fear this might already be over." It's not even a showy exaggeration, really. On the inside he still hasn't settled his feelings about that conversation with Orion – and as long as he can keep fighting people, he doesn't have to.

"This won't end until we have the Forge, Megatron."

Magnus has his blaster up and aimed on Megatron, taking stock of the situation now that Arcee is out of harms way. A one on one showdown with Megatron was hardly a situation he had expected to wind up in, but he wasn't about to back down. Even if Megatron had an arm cannon and he didn't.

It was hard to miss the sparks coming from Megatron's right eye, . Ultra Magnus leaped forward in that direction, trying to get into the Decepticon's blind spot, firing the whole time.

Megatron fires at the Autobot bearing down on him, but Ultra Magnus's decision to take advantage of his blind spot pays off and Megatron's cannonfire goes wide, damaging yet more innocent architecture. Megatron snarls in anger as Ultra Magnus's blaster fire scorches his armour, and he twists around to charge at the other mech, blade first, shouting, "The Forge is already as good as mine, Autobot!"
