After a few seconds of hysterics, Ripoff heard what Merkava. "Huh?" he said. He leans down to hear what he said. "We need to bunk down.....?" He asked him. Bunk down! Of course! He forgot they were in a open field and therefore vulnerable. This is just great. He looks around to see if anything can aid them. Than he notices a control for the shop's defenses and security. Ripoff has an idea. He looks to Stingray. "Whatsyourface, grab Merky and follow me!" He told to Stingray as he makes a beeline towards a the panel. Ripoff opens the panel and see the control. "Boom! Yummy!" he said to himself with a smile on his face. He point his finger at the console. The tip of his finger opens and black and slim wire shoots out and hooks itself to the console. Ripoff than starts to hack the console. "Oh man. This has been a while since I did this. I hope it won't take as long." He said to himself. "Com'on, com'on. Ripoff don't have all day..."

Stingray saw Ripoff more or less scream bloody murder and that he had been infected the plaque, and this was not a good sign.
Hearing Ripoff contact someone by Vortex hearing that name litterly sent metal chills down her back saying there was an injured bot and he wanted Vortex to find the bot or whoever was did this and make them pay dearly.
Seeing Ripoff coming towards her hoping that Rip wouldn't touch that was the last thing she needed on top of the injuries she already had, Ripoff shook her saying to save Merkava that he wasn't a medic and that he was an Arm's dealer and that he couldn't do what Merkava was able to do and that something had to be done.
Taking a deep breath, "Calm down Ripoff I have a medic on the way should be able to help us now pull yourself together and work with me," Stingray said calmly.
Hearing Merkava yell out in pain and seeing more fire blast coming their way Stingray hits the deck for a moment and she pulls ouo a nitrogen gun and bomb and takes out several groups of scrap metals with the gun and then takes out a very large group next hopefully this will give her enough time to move Merkava.
She could barely heark Merkava's words he ws saying to bunker down, it was already too late she could see that she had been infected with the plaque also.
Grabbing Merkava, "come on let's get you inside before we are all eaten alive or a pile of dust," she said helping Merkava up and moving towards the shop.
Her comm link sounded off hearing Ratchet's voice a sound she could hear all day long, saying he was on the way and the scrap metals weren't making it easy for them either for being kids to get there. C>Roger Ratchet and be careful, Stingray out.
Ripoff calmed down hearing what Merkava said and looked to see what he could do to help he notices a control panel for the shop he looks at her saying, watch your face and follow him, as he went into the shop and to the control panel Stingray moved as fast as she could the two blasts that she had thrown into the scrap metals didn't last long and they were heading towards them and she was fighting them off while trying to Merkava into the shop.
Seeing Ripoff head straight for the control panel opens it and mutters something though she could see a slight grin seeing a black wire shoot out form the tip of Ripoff's finger into the control panel, stingray had a feeling what he was trying to do.
She took out two more groups of scrap metals before they were inside closing the door and moving to the center of the shop near Ripoff and sets Merkava down.
She wanted to stay with Merkava but she had to fight off the metal as best as she could
It was taking Elita longer than she thought getting through the sawms of scrap metals after what felt like forever she managed to reach the shop and quickly ducking into the shop closing the door behind her but standing infront of the door with her weapons ready to fire again. She saw that Stingray had been infected with the plaque she stood a short distance from her friend, "did you make contact with Ratchet?"
Stingray Elita quickly enter the shop closing the door again and stood a short distance from her she had taken out another group of metals from a small opening of a window hearing the question and answering, "yeah Ratchet is on the way it might take him a little longer to get here the scrap metals are not making it easy for them either.
There was another small opening in the door window and Elita fired her weapon taking out another group of metals Stingray had taken out another group as well, looking over her shoulder, "Ripoff how are coming along with getting into the control panel?"She asked.

Merkava collapses to his knees as the shutter finally closes, breathing hard even as his body continued to leak lubricants and other fluids from his damage. For all he hated of his father, he couldn't help but feel greatful the larger mech had made sure through his development that Merkava was more metal then flesh and never less then fully armored. The plague was eating away at that armor, that was true.... but they had a bit of ways to go before they hit anything overly vital. "Stat... staus report..." He mumbles as he turns back to the others.

The plauge had been working on Stingray though she tried not to flinch or moan in pain, hearing Merkava go don from where she had been shooting and taking the scrapmetals out where she had left Merkava.
Elita looked over her shoulder and was about to move back to help Merkava.
Stingray saw Elita was going to do, "no Elita I'll him, don't want you to get the plauge either going to need someone to fight off the scrapmetals, I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to last the way I am at the moment I'll help as much as I can."
Elita nodded to her firend seeing damage that the plauge had done so far if they couldn't find a cure soon there was going ot be some serious chaos if this doesn't get resloved quickly, she turned back to and continued to fire at the scrapmetals.
Stingray quickly moved back to where Merkava was seeing he was leaking lubs and other vital fluids all over, hearing him breathing hard that made her grimmace.
Kneeling down next to him there was concern in her optics and in her voice she hoped that her new friend could hang on as long as he could and from the what shesaw of Merkava's frame it looked like he was last longer than she would, "Hang in there Ratchet is on the way Merkava, hopefully Ratchet will know a cure for the blasted plauge," she said with concern.
Stingray more or less fell flat on her face after pain had ripped through her body, the pain was really, really getting bad, it looked like the plauge must have finally gotten through part of the ourter shell, she had to hang in there as well fighting back the pain, though she grunted in pain.
Hearing Merkava in a somewhat weak voice asking what the status report was, turning her head facing Merkava, "Ripoff is still working the control panel, Elita and myself have been holding off the scrapmetals the best we can though I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to hold out at least form what I can see you have more protection than I do." Stingray said, as she tried to raise to her hands and knees, as she moaned and grimmaced from the pain.

C> We heard a distress call over the E-band. Any bots down there needing some air support?
C> Copy that. Any way we can help?
Two female voices popped over the emergency band as the call went out for Ratchet, or help in general.
Anyone with good optics could see two moderately sized jets screaming in. One black with larger wings and one grey, whos wings weren't as large as the black one's, both fighter-jets of Earth origin.

The first to respnd is Ratchet as he and his companion tried desperately to get through the swarm. ~We have medical treatment on route, but these things are worse then the insecticons on a bender! Could use a route in~ As he finishes, the two might spit a kid of ratchets color scheme struggling not to get caught by the scrambling monstrosities on top of a yellow armored kitty former. †************* Merkava winced as he warched stingray fall to the floor, not able to do much himself. "My father's idea... he did not want a weak heir..." he explained briefly as the message came in over the comm band. He blinked for a moment before responding. ~Combaticons ripoff and merkava here, we have sequestered a holding location against these things. I and council member stingray need immediate medical assistance, these creatures are carrying plague grade shells. Do not get hit, repeat, do not get hit.~

Stingray more or less blushed a little as Merkava saw her go donw to the floor she was embarrassed as it was for looking weak, hearing Merkava say it was his father's idea for the extra protection and that his father didnt want a weak heir.
She heard Merkava's comm go off and it took Merkava a moment before he could respond, the plague was doing it work on him though it looked like he would hold longer than she would how much longer that was the question. Telling the other Combaticons and others that were sent out to help that he had a holding area against the scrapmetals and that he and a council member were in of medical assistance and fast and the scrapmetals were carrying the plauge grade shells and not to get hit and repeated again to the other combations and others not to get hit.
Elita continued taking out the scrapmetals form where she had take post and she saw two fighter jets coming in at first she thought the fighter jets were Merkava's team looking again shaking her head they weren't Merkava's team it took her a moment to figure out who the jet fighters were.
After hearing the voices over her emergency band channel and opening her comm, C>Tailwind Vix how large ais the swarm of scrapmetals and is there any way you can blast through the swarm without getting nailed in the process? She asked taking out another small group.

"Hang in there, my darlings! I almost got it!" Ripoff told his friends as he continues to work the control panel. He mutters something where was that damn program at. It has to be in there somewhere. He heard medical assistance where on their way and so was backup. This is good and all, but with the rate where things are going, they probably wouldn't be around for much longer. He also was wondering where is that psychotic featherduster. "Com'on, com'on. Momma needs a brand-new defense grid. I don't want to die in my new armor...." He said to himself while trying to find the security system. All his hard work was noted and rewarded with a beep. He finally made it into the store's defense grid. He smiles at his success. "Bingo!" Ripoff happily exclaimed as he goes through the the inventory of the defense grid to see what he was working with. Standard issue beam cannons, short range rocket launchers, and full lockdown armor.Hmmmm. "I was hoping for something like a pulse cannon, but I guess this has to do right now." He said to himself. Ripoff selects the beam cannons and access the targeting systems. Two of the cannons pop out on the roof of the store and aims towards the Scrapmetals. Ripoff locked on a couple of Scrapmetals and proceed to open fire on them. "For a bland model, these cannons pack a punch!" Ripoff said while continuing to pick off some of the Scrapmetal. "I wish Vortex would show up already. I can't keep them at bay forever." Sure enough, the Scrapmetals started to regroup and started to return fire. He than remembers something. The munitions experts dipped into his subspace compartment and pull out some high-grade energon. He tosses some to Stingray. "Can you be a doll and give it to Big Guy for me please? Feel free to have some to." After giving some high-grade energon to Stingray and Merkava, he goes back to attacking the Scrapmetals.

Vix and Tailwind shared a look before answering.
C> This is Vixen... First Question: You don't wanna know. Second Question: Yes we can
C> One route Inward for the medic and kitty. Don't worry, we don't get hit, we do the hitting
Vix nodded, "Shall we? Tail?"
Tail did a roll, moving up and over Vix before diving down, "Roger that!"
Vix rolled, spilling off to the left.
the RATTA TATA TATA of energon pulse weapons filled the air. Missiles screamed like angry birds of prey as they were loosed upon the plauge of nasty plague carrying things.

"I'll... I'll do what I can..." Merkava responded weakly, on his hands and knees at this point struggling to stay up. "Onslaught and the others should be here..." He blinks for a moment, thinking. "Unless they had something else to handle... it could be an all-out attack on the councils..." He responded with a sudden realization.
C> Tailwind, Vix... are there any other reports coming from the city? We haven't heard anything from our team members of late.
***************************
The medic riding his kitty companion blinked as he noticed the path cleared by the passing jets. The color patterns involved... it couldn't be, could it? Shaking his head, he pats the side of his compatriot's torso lightly with a warm response. "Come on Catilla, they've given us a chance... let's not make it worthless." He responds, pointing forward.

Stingray heard Ripoff say hang in there and that he was just about hacked into the store's defense grid she also heard Ripoff say got it as he was muttering something in the lines of of a weaker model the canns packed a good punch also hearing him say something about Vortex would have arrived by now and that he couldn't keep the Scrapmetals at bay for a lenght of time.
Ripoff was silent for a moment as he tossed something her way asking to be a doll and give the high-grade energon to Merkava and to feel free to take some for herself.
Stingray caught the high grade energon she shivered at the thought of the scrapmetals they must be all over the city by now she hoped not only in this area, throwing that thought to the back of her mind for the moment. She carefully hands the energon to Merkava who needed it more than she did at the moment and her hands were shaking really bad, "Here Merkava take a good long drink you need it more than I do at the moment." She said softly though her voice sounded weak.
Elita kept firing at the scrapmetals taking out small groups at this point it was hopeless everytime se take one group out more would just reform a group shaking her head.
Vixen responed to her questions, first question she didn't want to know how big the swarm of scrapmetals are, again shaking her head knowing that she should of just kept her mouth shut on that question, as for the second question there wasn't going to be much of a problem. Elita sighed and was glad for the moment until the other shoe might drop at any time.
Merkava spoke his voice was weak but Elita cold hear him say that he would do what he could as he tried to get up to his hands and knes though it sounded like he was struggling just to stay up, quickly looking over her shoulder for a moment she saw the damage of the plauge on Merkava and Stingray she just hoped that Ratchet knew the cure or at least tell where to find it.
Merkava also said that Onslaught and the others should have been here by now. He was silent for a oment like something came to his mind then saying unless the others had something else to do and it might be an all out attack on all the councils.
Hearing Merkava ask Tailwind and Vixen if there were any more reports coming from the city and that he had heard from the other team members as of late.
Elita shook her head this was getting serious and more than likely would take a turn for the worst, she should thought about her council were they under attack with the scrapmetals are they okay, cursing under her breath opening her private channel to Cheet's she just hoped that Cheet's and the rest of the council members are okay.
C> Cheet's this is Elita-1 do you copy? We have an out break of the comsic rust plauge, Stingray, Merkava and Ripoff have been infected with the plauge. Would you happen to have a huge problem with a swarm of Scrapmetals? if so they are carrying the plauge don't get hit by their fire power. And there is a huge swarm of little slaggers at the iacon park.
Elita turned back and started firing at the scrapmetals taking small groups out one at a time.
Catilla heard Ratchet say that the passing jets have cleared a path for them and they didn't need to make this trip worthless and points towards the building with the defense grid up. "On it Ratchet and the scrapmetals are giving me the creeps," Catilla said, she darted as fast as she could down the path to the building before the swarm of Scrapmetals could get to them.

Cheets swore softly. C>: Copy that. I'm contacting those we need to set up an armed quarantine and treatment center.
The cheetah rubbed her temples wishing, once again, that Primal hadn't chose him... her to be the next link to the Oracle and all that mess.

C> Tailwind, Vix... are there any other reports coming from the city? We haven't heard anything from our team members of late. C> This is Tailwind. Nothing from other areas, which ... yeah that can be either good or bad. C> Vix here. We were just on patrol and heard the emergency call. We got here as fast as we could. As they conversed they dove and spun over the battlefield, shooting their miniguns and dropping missiles to make a path for the Grampulance and Kitty.

~Most definitely bad.~Merkava responded as he tried to keep from falling. ~We havent heard a response from the rest of my team yet. Either that means they're jamming predacon and decepticon comm ranges... or they are in deep slag.~ Neither possibility sat well with Merkava. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "We're almost there!~ responded Ratchet as he and his partner scampered into the open field. This set off a reaction in the scrapmetals as they doubled their efforts to stop them. Some even seemed to be trying to kamikaze their way at the youngins, running straight into the line of fire in hopes their momentum would throw their corpse into the kids path. Ratchet cringes as one such corpse bounced interest their path, screaming, "Catilla look out!"

Stingray heard Merkava talk to two other bots she wasn’t sure if they were Autobot, Maximal, Decepticon, and Neo Decepticon whoever they were told Merkava that they didn’t see any more scrapmetals in the other areas of the cities and that could either be bad or good.
And the Bots were on patrol and heard the distress call and they got here as fast as they could.
Seeing and hearing Merkava say it was pretty bad and he was waving back and forth she moved towards him taking his arm and steadied him the best she could. He also says that he hadn’t heard from the rest of the group and that meant the scrapmetals were jamming Decepticon and Predacon Comm. Ranges or that his group was in very deep slag and from the look on Merkava it really didn’t set well with her new friend, Stingray was going to say something decided not to say anything she wasn’t sure what she could say that would give the big fella a little comfort.
Elita kept taking out groups of scrapmetals and she saw Ratchet and Catilla heading towards them and that was a welcome sight she pour it on taking out the scrapmetals Ratchet needed a clear pathway to where they were. “Die already you lousy slagger’s I never want to see another scrapmetal as long as I’m alive.” Elita grumbled.
Catilla was moving really fast and getting around the scrapmetals thanks to the help of the jetfighters making a semi clear path for them, though the semi clear path didn’t say that long because the scrapmetals doubled up their attack to keep them from getting to the building a small group of scrapmetals ran straight for them and heard Ratchet say watch out, just in the nick of time, “hold on tight!” Catilla said as she launched herself as high as she could over the small group of scrapmetals quickly landing and poured on the speed to the building.
