Downrange glances over with a smirk. "Alrighty mate. Keep your head on the down low in there though, Some of the others have been hearing voices around here. Nothing reaching my processors just yet though, so I'm thinking it's just nerves." He responds before backing up, arming his weapon just in case of further attack. "Never hurts to be careful though." Mouthpiece blinks for a moment before looking to him with a nod... he's awfully distracted all of a sudden. He couldn't help but look towards Axegrinder, as if to ask if she's heard anything. She might notice a light growling sound... like an engine in the distance. But it's hard to tell if it's in the tunnel or in the cavern they are in now.

"Do you hear that, Mouth?" Axegrinder asked the Preacher if he heard what she heard. It sounded like a engine of a car starting. It also sounded like....growling. Is she going crazy? "Guys, do you hear that?" She asks Mouthpiece and Downrange about the sound she heard. She couldn't be the only one hearing it.

"Still don't hear nothing... you both hear something?" Downrange responds, glancing to them both. "Hrm... you know, now that I think about it, the others have been people like Fadescreen and the like." He seems to think on it. "Might be a type that can hear it." Mouthpiece responds weakly. "I hear crying..." He blinks for a moment, moving closer to the doorway. "Like a child... how can you both not hear it?" He responds louder.... whatever's going on, it seems to be effecting Mouth more then Axegrinder as he suddenly takes off down the dark tunnel. Downrange frowns in response. "That can't be any sorts of good, can it?"

"I hear it too, Mouthpiece." Axegrinder responded to Mouthpiece while motioning Downrange to tone down the noise level. It was definitely faint, but she could hear it. Something was up. Axegrinder answers back to Downrange. "No. No it isn't." She watches Mouthpiece go into the tunnel suddenly. "Give us thirty minutes. Thirty minutes only. If neither of us are not back by than, seal the tunnel. Don't bother sending anybody in after us. We can't risk whatever it is being out." Fadescreen instructed Downrange. Before Downrange can say anything, she went off to the dark tunnel with Mouthpiece.

Downrange salutes lightly before starting to set up the charges... just in case. Mouthpiece manages to keep just in sight as Axegrinder follows. Until they reach the darker ends of the tunnel and there is a sudden fwooshing sound.... as what appears to be a grappler fires out of the darkness and grabs onto Mouthpiece's arm. The chain suddenly recoils as it starts to drag her religious friend out of her sight with a dark chuckle. A voice... her voice can actually be heard ahead of them, the chilling familiar tone of her own battle rage heard out of the darkness. "Oh Mouthpiece... you should have known I'd hurt you sooner or later." There's a sharp cracking noise heard ahead as Mouthpiece cries out in pain.

The Security Guard was tailing Mouthpiece, making sure he's okay. She isn't totally okay with this. Something about this doesn't feel right. She was still following Mouthpiece until she saw something shoot out of the darkness and grabs onto Mouthpiece. Before she notices, the chain recoils and pulls Mouthpiece in. "MOUTHPIECE!!!!" The guard shouted in fear. She ran towards the spot where Mouthpiece got snatched at. She looks around to see if she can find him. She switched her ocular vision into night vision to see if she can find him. No such luck. Axegrinder called out to him "Mouthpiece! Mouth! Speak to me, buddy! Say anything...." Than she heard it. That chuckle. That dark chuckle. Than she heard spector's speech. Right than, right now, her fuel pump ran cold and her spark throb in fear. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Did she gone crazy? "It can't be...." She quietly told herself in shock, trying to reassure herself what she just heard was just her imagination. "It just can't be." What in the pit did she just heard? Did she actually heard....herself?
Than she heard a sharp cracking noise and Mouthpiece's cries. Hearing that quickly jolt her out of funk. "I'm coming, buddy!"

As Axegrinder moved closer... her friend came into view suspended on a series of chains in the middle of a larger section of the tunnel. His arms are extended out to the side as he hangs ragged, his shoulders sparking somewhat. It's hard to see in the room due to the lack of light....though there's the low rumbling of an engine in the room, that guns a bit as she enters before the sounds of squeeling tires.

"MOUTHPIECE!!" Axegrinder screamed as she sees the former Predacon priest beginning hung by chains. She runs to him and tries to get him down. The security guard grabs a couple of chains and starts to violently pull on them. A couple of them break. "I'll get you down, I'll get you down...." She quietly chanted as she was getting her friend down. While she was breaking the chains, she heard the sounds of....engines and tires? Something tells her, they're not alone in the room.

A large plated truck manages to flick it's lights on quickly as it takes off towards Axegrinder, intending to drive her into the wall. It's a black SUV but something about how the grays and white ghighlights of the vehicle seem strangely familiar. As does the laughter that follows it's attack.

Axegrinder heard the engines blasting from the SUV and the lights flickering. Her head quickly turn and sees the the vehicle trying to run her into the wall. The former security guard started to run, trying to get the SUV away from Mouthpiece. There was something familiar about that SUV. She knows the paint job from somewhere. But she quickly pushes that thought out of her processor and cursing herself for not bringing a weapon with her. Looks like it's just straight fist and feet action then.

The mysterious figure seems to have the same idea as it transforms, large metallic fists popping out of the hood. It manages to spin around as it skids, throwing a backhand axegrinders way with a chuckle. Mouthpieces face stares at her through the grated face place with a smirk, or at least what appears to bw his face as he stomps over. "If I cant save anyone... what chance have you?"

Grinder tried to block or deflect the backhand, but she fails. She gets knocked down the ground. This guy was strong she was thought. Grinder gets back up, prepares to retaliate. When he heard him speak, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. That voice. "It couldn't be....Mouth?!" She said to herself. "It can't be but you're....." Than she quickly compose herself and push that notion out of her mind. She snarled "You're not Mouthpiece! You the Pit are ya?!"
((OOC: Let's check on our hackers, shall we)) "Hey, C! I got three of the harddrives running and one of the broadbands up and running again!" One of the hackers shouted. Everybody in attendence cheered. C-Cord smiled and gives the hacker who repair some of the broken systems and put them back in working order a pat on the back. "Three down......Only primus knows how much more to go." Fliptop commented. "Hey! At least we're getting somewhere." C-Cord added.

"Oh i am mouthpiece... The dirty little secrets he keeps down below." The figure replied as he pulls a chain from his back, swinging it towards axegrinder again. "boy aint innocent by any means. Born a pit fighter, he die a pit fighter... Wether he wants to or not!" The swinging chain is concise, her opponents trying to wrap it around some part of her to pull her in. ---------- A channel comes awake on the screen as some of the auxillary systems come online. Wirehead sighs with relief over it. "About time you came online. Weve made contact with technobots, need an out path to get one of them out of polyhex before the autotroopers shoot them up. Over."

Axe quickly sidestep the chain and letting fly past her. "You're lying! You're not Mouth. You just can't be! You just can't...." For some reason, there's a bit of truth to what the phantom is saying, even though she can't believe what she's seeing right now. She pushed that thought out of her head. Her thoughts are on getting Mouthpiece out of here and dealing with the imposter. But she still can't get that notion out of the head that he might be telling the truth.
************
C-Cord received the message and turns towards the Computer team. "Okay, guys. Give us directions for the nearest fire exit! Chop chop!" With those commands, the hackers quickly got to work. They read the old plans of the former Decepticon base, old subways, sewers, pipelines, anything they can get. Seeing most of the equipment fried or in need repairs, the hackers either used their own bodies as a boardband/Wifi connection and power source and literally used their friends as computers to get the job done. Fliptop barked "Elbows and assholes, people! Elbows and assholes! We need to get the Technobots out of dodge as soon as possible!"
"You try grabbing blueprints while using somebody as a laptop! And with slow processing speed" One of the hackers barked back "We're doing this as fast as we frackin can!" The hacker in question was literally using his friend as a laptop with wifi capabilities. The laptop former snarled back at the operator "Hey! You try being the computer while providing wifi support to others, without no rest and see how you feel, asshole!" The two started to aruge as they search for any abandoned tunnels or pipelines to aid the Technobots escape. The operator than threatened his laptop partner with a virus.
C-Cord was watching this. She can't afford to have her team to start falling apart on her right now. If they hadn't already. It was bad enough those under her had become backup computers and equipment to pick up the slack after that viral attack by the Council while others are trying to salvage whatever can be saved and repair whatever that can repaired.
"Guys! Kill each other on your own time. The Technobots needs our help." The two stopped bickering and went back to work. C-Cord than turns towards Fliptop. "Speaking of work, let's do our part." The cellphone former nodded in agreement. Fliptop than leapt into the air and transformed into his cellphone mode. C-Cord than grabbed him. Fliptop than converts into his mini computer mode and try to access to the net. "Wirehead, what's the APA on the Technobots?" She asked. "We can't do much unless they tell us where the are." She hopes the hackers can hang in there for a little longer. They're already beyond the breaking point.

The dark figure charges forward as Axegrinder is distracting by her thoughts, pulling back the chain and swinging it around for a moment before whipping it at her again. Whatever the case might be in it's relation to Mouthpiece, it's still a viable threat in it's own right. "Can't fight the truth sugar." It responds with a snort.
********
"Most are out in the ruins, though at least one's being chase through the city as far as we can tell." Came the quick reply from wirehead. "Some of the ICD staff have been deployed to help, but I'm getting reports of reinforcements showing up on all sides. We may need a distraction here."
