As scarabus and wingbrand run, the figure comes into sight raising an energon shard shotgun. The resemblance despite the fighter craft alt mode is unmistakable as he opens fire in their direction, chuckling to himself and his black toned form. It appears they're being attacked by herself in her former enforcer form, back in the beginning of her career in the space Mafia. Scarabus just shouts as he dives forward in pain, one of the shards impaling itself in his leg.

Exposed with nowhere to run, Kapone made her stand. She stared down her phantom with a fire she didn't know she possessed, power surging through her body.
"You crave power?" she leveled her gun at the electrical conduits overhead. "Have all you want." She pulled the trigger and sparks went flying as live wires dangled down, becoming entangled with the chains her shadow self was holding. She shifted her attention to her figment, firing at near-point blank range. "And then some!"

As Wingbrand rand and dove through the door to the living room getting a fairly good look at the figure as it comes into sight.
She gasped in horror once she saw the figure it was like seeing into her past hitting the floor rolling to a stop and winching in pain slightly seeing there were a couple pieces of the pool table wedged in her lower arm grumbling under her breath she quickly pulled the pieces out of her lower arm and did a quick patch job.
Wingbrand saw the figure rasie its weapong she knew all to well what the weapon could do, looking towards the figure, "Don't know why I'm asking, what do you want?"
She heard Scarabus shout and it sounded like Scarabus hurt and in pain, Wingbrand looked around seeing Scarabus on the floor not far from where she was, she quickly crawls towards Scarabus, seeing the shard inbedded in Scarabus's leg shaking her head this would slow her down alot and she needed Scarabus's make a mad dash but they needed to find Kapone before they made that mad dash.
Shaking her head for a moment then she looked at the shard it didn't look like it was inbedded to deeply and it could be removed, and do a quick patch job and hope it would last long enough to until she got Scarabus to repair, "Scarabus the shard didn't dig in that deep do you want me to pull it out and do a patch job at least it wouldn't hold you back to far from making a quick run for it, if you don't want me to take the shrad out I can patch the best I can until we can get you to repair."

The phantom Kapone howls in pain as the electricity crackles through it, exciting what little particles existed of the creature. If anything, it seems to make the creature all the weaker for her weapon shots as large chunks of it's head are blown clear of the neck servos that support them. The rest of the body slumps to it's knees as it starts to dissolve and break apart... leaving nothing but shadow in the room.
********************************
"Oh... I just want my old job back." The figure replies for a smirk, firing after wingbrand as she moves to help her young companion. He chuckles to himself for a moment, choosing his words carefully. "We just had to let slingshot make a mockery of ourselves, didn't we?... a pale meek woman instead of the head of the Cybertronian mafia, taking care of children instead of claiming power." Scarabus just nods to her in pain, meekly replying. "Whatever gets us to safety quickest... I don't want anyone else hurt...." He looks back at the mock Wingbrand as he aims at the two, fearful for not just the two of them... but for kapone as well. They hadn't heard anything from her since she disappeared.

Hearing the ghostly figure of her past he wanted his old job back as Wingbrand danced and dove towards Scaraus, thinking for a moment what the figure said.
After being turned to the oppsite gender in away she more or lesst lost her way she didn't want the old job back, seeing what looked like a smirk and hearing the figure say that the group had to let Slingshot make the group of a mockery and a pale weak woman instead of the head of the Cybertronian mafiz and taking care of children than clamming power.
Looking towards the figure Wingbrand might get slagged but this new path she has chosen was a lot better than old path he chose in the past in the first place, "yes I've lost my way and to say more or less I'm happy with the path I'm taking now, I don't want the old job back I don't want the power either, yes we more or less let Slingshot make us look like fools, then again we might have made Slingshot look like a fool also and I might also thing that Slingshot might be deciving us. I might be a pale weak woman instead of being head of the Cybertronian mafia, I like taking care of children rather than clamming power, I like the way I'm now."
Hearing scarabus say whatever it took to get out and to a safe place was find with him and that he did't want anyone else hurt in the process. Wingbrand quickly does a quick patch job on Scarabus's leg she saw Scarabus aim his weapon at the figure and saw the concern on his face.
Wingbrand knew wha the concern look was it was for Kapone both of htem hand't heard from Kapone for awhile she was concerned also they needed to find Kapone and get out of here before they all ended up as piles of scrap looking around to see if there was another way out, there wasn't any other way out expect for the way they came in and the front door was in between, Wingbrand wasn't going to leave without Kapone and she knew that she and Scarabus would have to make a stand and fight the mock figure of her past, looking at Scarabus, "it looks like we are going to have to fight your way out and then find Kapone not going to leave anyone behind are you ready?" She asked pulling out her weapons and fired at the ghostly figure.

Scarabus nodded back to Wingbrand as he gripped his shield tightly. No more left behind... no more innocence lost. Not if he had anything to do with it. As Wingbrand opened fire on the ghostly figure, it dived across the doorway to cover on the opposite side. A few shots manage to glance off its armor in the process, leaving damage that seemed to be healing as it ducked out of sight. Weapons peered back around from the wall as the figure opened fire on them again, tearing chunks out of the pool table that stood between them and their attacker.

Wingbrand was shocked to slag seeing that her rounds didn't effect the ghostly figure she quickly turned back to Scarabus as he nodded and helped him up to his feet.
Seeing the ghostly figure dive for cover and then open fire again on them there was one possible way out and they had to make back to the kitchen. "On the count of 3 we are going back to the kitchen. 1,2,3 Now!" Wingbrand shoved Scarabus as hard as she could through the doorway and out of the room they were in taking a chunk of wood from the pool table in her right shoulder hitting the floor near Scarabus getting up to her feet and getting him up to his feet and ran for the kitchen.

Scarabus stumbled in the direction of the shove, even as he made his way into the kitchen. What might disturb Wingbrand about the situation is that the gunfire has ceased since they both headed that way. Any glancing towards the doorway will show their pursuer has disappeared... suggesting he may be trying to beat them to the other entrance to the kitchen.

Wingbrand stumbled into the kitchen and leaned up against the wall holding her right shoulder, cursing under her breath taking a deep breath holding it and she tugged the chunk of wood out of her shoulder and cursed a little more.
She just noticed that there wasn't any sound of gunfire and this was really making her very nervous she looked towards the door where they had come in seeing the ghostly figure has vanished.
Shaking her head this wasn't good at all, "You okay Scarabus?" she asked, "hope Kapone is okay also though we need to find her and get out of here I really don't like this house at all it's really giving me the creeps and willies."

Scarabus nods lightly before looking to the door. "Why hasn't anyone responded yet?... shouldn't there be autotroopers or something?..." He has a scared look on his face, remembering the last time this much destruction happened with no police reaction. Especially with Kapone missing... he did not want a repeat of that day, losing another friend to what ever primus-awful person were behind these attacks. Still... he gripped the handle of his shield determinedly. "I... Wingbrand, is there any place here she could have disappeared? Didn't the two of you work here before uncle Slingshot?" He asks, the air staying relatively still. Unfortunately for the two, the faux-Wingbrand was making his way downstairs and around. Rather then attack them directly, it's gotten the idea to get a literal 'drop' on the two by blowing the floor out below them.

Wingbrand heard Scarabus ask why anyone han' responed like the Autotroopers or anyone else for the matter. She looked over to Scarabus seeing the scared expression on Scarabus's face. Also saw Scarabus tighen his/her grip on the sheild.
Hearing Scarabus ask if there was any place in the house that Kapone could have vanished. And that Kapone and her worked here before Slingshot.
It had been years since the last time Wingbrand had been at the old place. It took Wingbrand a few moments to think back and remember where all the hidden little trap doors and levers were. Though she couldn't remember where they were at the moment though there could a dozen of or half dozen places in the house that Kapone had vanished and she had a bad feeling that Kapone might have ended up in the basement or as Slingshot would say the dungen. She was about to answer the questions, and it happened so quickly when the floor gave way both Wingbrand and Scarabus fell to the next level of house.
When the dust finally settled Wingbrand managed to pull herself out from under being burried under half the kitchen sitting up coughing for a moment, she looked around not really noticing where they had ended up she didn't see or hear Scarabus.
Shaking her head to clea the cobwebs and to gather her thoughts this wasn't good nor was the feeling good either, "Scarabus where are you, are you okay?" She asked with concerned.

Unfortunately there was no response to the call... It's still hard to see anything, the age of the building had left a lot of cyber-dust to filter it's ways into the nooks and crannies of the building. Even as Wingbrand struggled to find her young companion however, the soft whine of weapons being primed filled the air for a moment. Her counterpart had raised his weapon carefully, listening for the calls before firing energon shards into the room. "Looking to a child for help... really. How far we have fallen, from our seat of power. We used to own this whole district with our fist!" 'Wingbrand' commented with a bit of mock pity.

After a few calls to Scarabus as Wingbrand listened for a resonse form Scarabus and there wasn't a response not even a faint voice to at least let her know where her friend was.
Wingbrand though she had heard something a moment ago looking around seeing w here she had heard the noise come from even though she still couldn't see that well with the dust still settling.
Something near the oppiste side of the room they had fallen from the kitchen caught her attention looking in that direction seeing the desk and what looked like a safe, taking a moment and realized where she was and that they were in the meeting room fo the old place.
The memories flooded back so vividly Wingbrand had to shake her head and surprass the ager that was starting to boil in her cyber fluids, of all places why did they have to end up in the meeting room then again better here than somewhere else in the old place where had betrayed the gang turning them into females.
Hearing somehting that sounded like a weapon being charged and then the trigger bein pulls then the blast from the weapon being fired.
Wingbrand looked in the direction of where the fired shot came from seeing somehting she flatens herself out on the debris.
Also hearing the ghost voice again saying that she was looking for a child to help and really oh and how far had they fallen form the top seat of power and that they usedto own the whole area with their fists and there was a little bit of mocked pitty in the voice.
The words stung like biting ants, it was true they had more or less owned and ran the area with an iron fist.
There were times Wingbrand thought that the gang and Slingshot went to far at times what they were doing, and were they doing the right thing? At the time Wingbrand more or less went along with the gang and followed and did what the gang did.
Until Slingshot does the unthinkable and now the whole gang has a personal grudge against their former leader.
"It is true that the gang owned and ran the district with an iron fist, how far has the gang fallen from power hmm never really paid mush attention should have I? Not look for a childto help, actually helping a child in need. If you want to blame anyone for the fall of the gang go after Slingshot was the one who betrayed us and turned us into what we are now, everyone in the gang has a person grudge again the old man."

"Ironic words coming from one whose true age is as long as yours Wingbrand. You hate him now, but it was his hand that gave you the strength to come here... to face me and not die the feeble death of a hasbeen." Her dark double responded with an evil laugh. "Which is what you had become. No one was going to let you leave that room alive that day. They were just waiting for you to sign things over all legal-like." He starts to move closer into the room, aiming his energon shard shotgun forward. "Why don't you give up? you don't deserve life... you don't even deserve the love of that child. You're dirty as they come. That boy is better off not knowing a murderer such as you. This is your penance for your deeds." He responds, sweeping the weapon in the opposite hallway from Wingbrand, firing down the hallway half hazardly.

The ghost of he past responed to her comment telling her that the comment was more or less being sarcastic and upcoming to her true age.
It was true that her age was more or less as long as she was.
The ghost continued to speak telling her that she may hate Slingshot now, and it was Slingshot's hand that given her the strength to come back her and face her ghost of the past in addition not to die a meager demis, hearing the ghost laugh evilly which sent chills down her back.
Also hearing the ghost say in which she had come and that no one was going to let him leave the room alive that day everyone was waiting for him to sign things over all legal-like.
Wingbrand thought back to that day it had been along a day of meetings out of hte half dozen meetings 2 of the meetings ended on sour notes and were not settled by a long shot. Which left half if not more in a bad mood including himself. if she remembered correctly.
Sh thought about what the ghost had said about that everyone in the room wasn't going to let him leave the room alive that day when he was turned into a female.
Come to think about it Wingbrand noticed at the one meeting which left him in a bad mood himself was on his age, it was the age issue and it seemed like half or most of the gang was more less trying to force him out of the position he held becasue he was too old.
For some reason that struck a never with him at the meeting and he defended himself about his age and that he was capable of doing his job well. And then a horrible thought come to mind what if the gang and the new mob boss really didn't want him in the gang at the time it would have been that somehting really bad would happened to him if he was forced out, or would the mob boss made him an expample of what ever the boss wanted?
And maybe by pure lck with the way Slingshot had stepped in and made the gang into females he shouldn't feel like that Slingshot betrayed him and the gang and more or less saved him from certain fate, and since that time nothing has never really been done to her of being forced out of her position and it had been settleded in the first place.
Shaking her head all this thinking has given her a bad headache. the ghost spoke again telling her to give up and that she doesn't deserve to live and she doesnt' even deserve the love of Scarabus and that she was as filty as everyone could be, and that Scarabus was more that better off not knowing who she really was. And it was her sighn of her deeds in the past.
Wingbrand was about to say something when she saw the ghost sweeping its weapon towards her and she flatens herself on the floor, and covering her head with her arms hearing the weapon go off looking at the last minute and sees that the ghost had fired the weapon down the other side of the hallway she hoped th at Scarabus was in the room and not in the hallway she had to find Scarabus and Kapone and get the slag out of this creepy place.
Speaking though her voice trimbled a little, "You are just as crazy as Slingshot is. I deserve to live just like everyone else not going to say I was the perfect mentor for someone to look up to and Scarabus deserves love from me just as much as everyone else in the gang." Wingbrand knew that she most likely had just put her foot right into her mouth and made herself look like a fool.
