"Indee-" TM2DV started to respond, before staring past Howlback and sniffing the air. There was a large splash of water as... something dived out of the sewer behind them with a howl. TM2DB's instincts were true as he darts past Howl, jumping and snapping his own fangs at the creature attacking them. However, he misjudged the size of the shark-like creature, whose jaws snapped down onto the side of TM2's neck as the two hit the ground skidding, heading towards her. The creature appeared to be a bipedal shark much like the Sharkticons of old... however where they were bulky and unwieldly, this monster was sleek with defined muscle. Glowing green energy seemed to be leaking from it's chest as it continued to try to snap the younger officer in half.

"TM, fall back. I don't like the looks of that ooze." Howls snapped as she diverted power to her blaster and tried to get a lock.

"I-I am trying!" TM2 responded as he snarled in pain, energy building in his beast mode optics before discharging in a red spray of light into the creatures back. It howled in response, whipping its head to the side and throwing the young officer away into a wall. TM2 cringed as he bounced off the wall, visible wounds left in the creatures wake as it charged towards howlback. As it approached there appeared to be a core in its chest leaking the same green material.

"Oh hell. I'm gonna die." flitted through Howl's mind before a new contender came charging in with a weird bellowing cry.
X lashed out with her claws at the shark thing, the fusion of wolverine strength and raptor agility giving her snap kick one heck of a punch as claws the size of chief's knives met facial structure. "You ok?" she barked at TM as she stood over Howl's, head down and for legs wide.

TM2DB pushes himself up roughly, shifting back into robot mode to better right himself. A quick transformation back and he snarled back to the newcomer. "As best as I'll be at the moment." He started to charge energy into his eyes as he hurried back to the others, preparing to attack again. The creature snarled in rage, stumbling backwards as the jaws snapped angrily into the air. This meat was fighting back, again. It was so tired of Meat that could fight back. It just made the sharkticon hungrier as it snarled in their direction and screamed "MEAATT!" before lunging again at X, teeth bared open for the attack. TM2DB fired upon one of it's legs with his eyebeams, sending the creature off balance but the sheer moment merely meant instead of chomping at their heads... it slid towards their legs.

X's legs.
Yeah those where so less dangerous for it to end up striking at. :rolleyes:
With a reptilian hiss of rage X leaned back and kicked forward with her hind legs, using her tail as a support leg like a kangaroo might. Howls, never one to be a damsel in distress, scrambled back to her feet and shifted to put the sharky in a cross fire with DB.

Shoved backed by X's kick, the creature snapped at the air trying to grab onto something as it skidded away. Unfortunately for the slagged thing, this resulted in at least one volley of the other twos blasts being -swallowed- in the process. The was a small moment of disbelief in the primitive monster's eyes before it belched a flume of corrupted energon back at the others bstween howls of pain. TM2 grimaced for a moment before shouting "Down!" As he dove down under the water to avoid the energy. A part of his processors noticed each belch at least drove the creature further away.

Howls winced at the direct mouth shorts and took a deep breath before diving under the sludge. She so needed a good cleaning after this...
Unfortunately for X she got caught by one of the gouts of corrupted energon, the fluids coating her armor. >Start docon procedures.< she ordered her internal computer as she to dove into the water..

To make matters worse, as the group hits the water... it can be seen that lines of light start to stream down the walls and running down the wall. The expulsion of energon, even so corrupted as the Sharkticon's seems to be activating technology in their vicinity. TM2 blinks for a moment, feeling a pull as the tunnel they are in starts to transform. X would be the first to notice what was going on, as the floor beneath her starts to tilt. The others soon find water rushing past them as the hallway becomes a tilted hallway... then a tunnel as the water pressure continues, attempting to pull them further down this new passage even as the sloping continues. Pulling his head above water for a moment, shaking his head... "Fall or try to climb?" He asks, looking at the others as the changes in the layout give them some coverage against the energon.

"Climb Timmy." Howls said as she braced herself against the current, claws digging in. "Going down feels to much like a trap."
For her part X stayed close to the cat once she had the worst of the crud washed off.

TM2 nods as he starts to climb, digging his own talons into the 'floor' as they start to ascend. Mentally a part of him wondered how they would deal with the Sharkticon spewing energon up above though he kept it to himself. The point seemed mute however as there was a howl from above as the creature charged over the edge of the new 'pit', flying past them still writhing in pain. TM2 cringed and pulled himself as close to the inside of the pit, yelling out. "Incoming!"

"Of course there's a scary monster up there that makes the scary monsters run..." Howls grumbled as X flung herself over the cat's back straddling her and protecting her with her own body.

The glowing mess flew past the group, it's eerie energon glow lighting the tunnel as it heads further into the mess below. It looks like for a moment the pitch drop curves to the side as the creature's light quickly jerks to the side. TM2 grimaces for a moment as he watches, looking downwards. "Ok, definitely do not want to follow that thing down there... If it wasn't a trap then, it's a trap now... right boss?" He comments, looking over to the other two.

Howls nodded as she dug in her closed, her face uncomfortably close to X's intimate reptilian parts. "Suddenly i'm wishing we hadn't come poking around down here. But... I'm to good a cop to let this go."

TM2 nods in response as the three of them climb to the top of the sewer. "Still, found evidence of something going on though, right? Is that equipment supposed to be still working like that, it looks like something out of the old Propoganda films they still have us watch in the academy..." He commented, sniffing around the air. "There's no way in slag something that big came this far into the city without something to eat... or at least leaving clues to it's existance-" He blinks for a moment, sniffing the air. There was the scent of long spilt mech blood in the air. Strange chemicals that were foreign and yet familiar in the air. It was coming from the direction the creature had come from when it started to attack them. The configuration of the sewer had changed since they were last on this level, at least one new tunnel was opened in the process. "... last time I smelt that was in father's lab..." He muttered to himself, looking to Howl for guidance.
