"I have even better." Hex responded, turning back to them for a moment. There's a red glow in her eyes that turns to blue as she sees Armorhide's injuries. As if going from wrath to sorrow again as she walks over carefully. "I'm sorry 'hide... i should have taken care of you first." Theer's a small screech from the transformed femme-bot in the corset, as her hands reach downwards to cover her lower regions. "What's going on? I was happy!" She responded despairingly, even as her body slowly starts to ripple. Her armor had started to take the original shape it had, starting at her pelvis. Clearly something was wrong but she was too scared to say what. "You said it would work!" Hex looks to her for a moment, grabbing her arm and pulling her over to armorhide. "It can... it will... but such a change requires a sacrifice." She spoke softly, trying to reassure the one cooperative person they had fought. "So much energy... so much resistance. What will you sacrifice for what you want?" She adds, sounding much more like her usual self. Outpace practically spit out the words. "Anything! Loyalty, whatever... I'm tired of being something I'm not. Tired of hating because of it." Her body started to grow slightly, taking on an amazonian frame as she groaned in pain. Hex smiled for a moment as she placed a hand on both. "That is all I needed to hear. The contract is made." Energy started to flow through her, from Outpace to Armorhide even as Outpace's own recent changes start to revert. And Armorhide... his wounds did not just start to heal... a fire built inside that he had not felt before. "Naraku... we're leaving. Bring the little one, will you?" She replied, even as Naraku heard a squeak of surprised as a small figure hid behind a desk to the side. Sirens were heard briefly in the distance... they needed to move.

"Ahhhhh." Armorhide gasps as his body is being charged up by something he can't exactly describe. As his body is being charged up, his frame is starting to be heal of his injuries. He doesn't feel the bullet wounds or energy burns anymore. Before he speaks, something came up in his spark. He couldn't describe the sensation he was feeling right now. His spark was feeling like was being supercharged. Than he started to feel something else. And started to know a bit more about about Outpace as well. Armorhide still a little dizzy from that healing and bonding process, stumbles a bit before he grabs his footing. "Whoa...."
"Right, right. The little one." Narkaru than went off to find what Hex asked. He follows the sound of the squeak. "Wait. The little one? What do you mean grab the little...." Before he can finish the rest of the sentence, he bumps into the small figure. Narkaru than looks at the small child. "What the pit?" He tilts his head in confusion.

As Armorhide sees more of his new partner's past... it seems quite inevitable that they would be bonded. Like himself, Outpace was pushed at an early age to be the best. However, unlike himself... that came at modifications and testing. Ways to improve the process for future Phase Sixers in the underground due to the loss of the original technology, adapting them for other methods. Never once focusing on what their subject wanted... even burying that want in their own self-righteous wrath. By the time Czar brought the poor llama into the group... the damage had been done and scabbed over. Outpace moved over to him, placing her hands on his shell to help speed up the process. "Thank you..." She quietly said to the larger former. "I won't let you down." For a moment, there was a spark and a crackle before the Llama bot transformed into her second altmode, an Cyber-Cycle of well-maintained design. Some of whatever was powering up Armorhide had leaked back into Outpace as she transformed, leaving her alt mode a suitable size for carrying the larger transformer.
*********************************
The small one looks up at Naraku for a moment, hesitant. It's a vulture former child though the faint lines along it's armor seems to suggest it has not always been that way. "Please don't hurt me..." It mutters, staring at his own armor and the intricate markings on it. "I'll be good, I'll learn better next time...." On closer examination, it might be a startling shock to Naraku to see worn, barely visible outlines of at least one or two of Cybertron's secret ninja clans. It's not the same as his own, that is true... but how faded they are. Either the kid ran or they were driven off. Neither option seemed good in his own experience...

Armorhide saw Outpace's past as they bond. From the first moment they got out of the assembly line, they were pushed to be the best of the best. Being second place wasn't allowed. Not a single moment where a moment of weakness or vulnerability is not shown unless one wants to use their weakness against them. This was his life. This was their life. He improved himself through constant training and constant study. He sacrifice his social life to get where he is now. He comes to regret that fact. He did receive a upgrade at Czar's suggestion, but not like his partner. "Outpace...." Through her optics, he saw the heavy cost of being part of cutting technology. He was thankful Czar found him before he did something drastic, but she never had that comfort. The larger former let her help him up a little. "And I won't let you down neither."
When Outpace transformed into her cycle mode, Armorhide was amazed and shocked! This is the first time he GOTTEN a ride from somebody instead of BEING the ride! "Cool!" Armorhide steady himself and gets on the Cybercycle. "This is so friggin cool...."
*************
"Relax, kid, I'm not going to hurt you....." When Narkaru was about to get the kid, he notices something on the Vulture bot's body. He notices the two barely noticeable signs. "What the. Those are.." Sure the insignia didn't match his and the only thing visible about them were their outlines, but he instantly recognized them.
Those were the markings of two of Cybertron's ninja clan. They were faded. It either meant two things. He was either a runaway or he was kicked out. It was a miracle that he managed to escape and stay hidden. Runaways don't tend to stay free or hidden very long. The part he knows so very well.
Narkaru kneels before the kid and stretches his arms out towards the little bot. "Don't worry. I'm not here to take you back. It's just me, the big guy there and Hex. Nobody else. I promise."

The smaller techno-organic looks up at Naruka tearfully before running out and hugging him tightly. She almost seems to shrink against him until it becomes apparent shes trying to hide against him. "O-ok... I trust you..." she mutters. Hex smiled sadly for a moment before barking as she climbed onto her own vehicular 'partner'. "Come on Naruka, they're almost here! Get on!" She guns her motor in emphasis before looking to Armorhide. "You can handle her, right?" She asks, missing the innuendo in her own question.

If the giant turtle bot could blush, he would be blushing are different kind of shades of red and invent a shade of red at the same time. "Ummmm....yeah. Yeah! I can handle!" The flustered teen quickly guns the engine. Outpace's engine roars loudly. "Whoa!" Armorhide was amazed how powerful the engines was. This also notes the first time he's actually getting a ride instead of BEING the ride.
Naruka quickly scoops up the orphan and toss the kid in the air. He quickly converts into his Lemur mode while the kid was in the air. When the kid was about to hit the ground, Naruka wraps his tail around his waist and grabs him. He than ups the kid on his back. "Hang on, kid!" The lemur ninja barked at the kid as he makes his way towards Hex and her vehicle. "Okay, take us home, witchy lady!" Armorhide awkwardly guns his engine and starts to ride. "I'm sorry, Outpace, this is my first time."
"I've heard that one before." Naruka joked while holding on to Hex and him holding on to the kid.
"Shut up!"

Armorhide's partner seemed to let loose with a motory chuckle as they both leave the bad. "Don't worry Army... I'll be gentle~" Was her amused response. As they leave the building, Armorhide can already see the flashing lights of Autotroopers on the way to the location... they needed to be gone, fast. His partner definitely handles like a dream though, making Armorhide's motions all the more awkward as he overcompensates from bast experience. The orphan yelped for a moment as she's tossed into the air, before being caught by her new friend. She giggles in response cuddling against his tail even as the both of them join Hexilion on Dualcast. Hexilion just smiled silently to herself before gunning the engine and taking off after Outpace and Armorhide. As she moved alongside them, she responded to the side. "We'll lose them in the tunnels, it's easy to get lost underground!" She explained, though a part of that decision nagged at her. How did she know that? This would be her first time going down there.. right?

"Let's blow this Popsicle stand! I'm too sexy to be in jail!" Narkaru declared. The Lemuer secured his tail around the orphan, making sure she doesn't fall or anything. "Huh? How do you know...." Armorhide was about to ask her how did she known that? This is her first time being in Cybertron? How can she possibly know that? Maybe she looked at some of the layout of Cybertron. He'll ask her that later. For now, they need to be gone. Armorhide rides Outpace and follows Hexilion. For a first timer, Armorhide was handling Outpace well despite his bulky figure.
"Not so bad riding the hog, man!" Narkaru said with a smile on his face seeing his friend riding the cycle/partner "Riding it like one of the Junkicons!" Armorhide blushed a little at the compliments. He guns the engine and goes a bit faster. He's really liking this right now. This is the first time Armorhide actually acted more of his age instead of trying to be mature. For about a few seconds. The turtle bot focuses on his teammates and their attempt to escape. They can't be caught right now. Not before fulfilling Czar's objective.

Hexilon gunned her engine, taking a steady slide around a corner into one of the smaller corridors as she led them to where she -thought- was an access tunnel down into the underground. The sound of Autotroopers in vehicle mode as the group made their way down into the underbelly of the planet. Hexilon breathed an audible sigh of releif as they entered the tunnel. Something was weighing on her mind... it felt -good- to do what she did to the gangsters they picked up, and not in the way one would expect. Taking control from them seemed like something that came natural to her without the mentorship of Teryx and she still didn't know what that meant. "L... lucky guess..." She manages to mutter back to Narkaru, suddenly becoming apparent of his question. Her hesistance doesn't quite sell that she's being honest at the moment. "I mean, isn't that what everyone says the people who fought in the War of the Spark hid out, right?" That had to be it... Teryx had kept her up on her studies after all, right? Maybe she had seen it on the way to their ambush.

"Errrr...That's right." Armorhide replied back, stopping whatever awkwardness that was about to grow. "Also that's how everything began. Well, that's what Discharge told us." Their mentor, Discharge, told him and Narkaru about the War of the Spark and the aftermath during and after their training. It was important to know about that right? Him and Narkaru were under the assumption that she had a role in the War of the Spark. She laughed and told them no. She heard it from somebody else. He dropped it but that nagging feeling never complete left him. He was convinced she was involved in the spark war somehow. That's the same feeling he's getting from Hex. But he put that thought into his databank for later pondering. Armorhide slides along the corner and guns the engine into the smaller corridor. Narkaru and the orphan hang on. "I think my audio sensors might be on the fritz, but their gaining on us!" D12 screamed while holding on to Hex.
"And we can't use our beast mode to lose them neither!" Narkaru whined as he held on. A small group of Autotroopers were gaining on them. Narkaru looks at the kid and gentile puts her down. "Hey,kid, hold on to Armorhide."
"Huh? Narkaru, what the pit you're about to do!? We can't attack them right now!" Armorhide was riding the tunnels with insane speed, trying to gain up on Hex and trying to lose the Autotroopers. The lemur smirks at him, ready to cause some trouble "About to do something stupid."

Hex looks back at the others and the Autotroopers catching up on the group. She starts to motion for a moment, as if to send a hex blast back towwards their pursuers... before pausing. There wasn't something -right- about these autotroopers. Her hex blasts weren't going to work on them, she could tell. And one look over at Narkaru told her he wasn't going to take a chance otherwise. "nngth..." She manages to moan to herself, frustrated in the options they have. "Don't do anything too stupid Nark..." She manages to call back before looking towards D12. "Need my dice D, just in case." She manages to mutter, before moving her hand off of the handlebar even as part of her forearm armor opens up, revealing a targetmaster port. It wasn't that hard to mod herself when she was modding her new partners for use. The Autotroopers turned off their sirens as the group entered the underground, revving their engines and engaging what could only be ramming speed as they charged after the others.

Narkaru readies himself as the Autotroopers turns off their sirens and starting to pick up speed. He crotches and urges his back a little. He than leaps off the cycle. When Narkaru jumps off the cycle, The turtlebot guns the engines and pulls up to Hex. “Trying to escape the cops and said cop is having a shootout with us. Must be Tuesday. ” D12 sighed as she got into Hex’s port and transformed into her gun form. “You better have a good idea about this, Sabrina!”
As Narkaru flies through the air, he mutters his transformation code. When he got close to a Autotrooper, he converted into his robot mode and planted both of his feet into the Autotrooper’s windshield. The Autotrooper than rode wildly trying to get him off. Narkaru grabs the hood and forces his feet out of the compromised windshield. The Autotrooper wildly rode up against the wall trying to get the young ninja off. Narkaru stubbornly held on to the car, trying to get a good hold on the car. He pulls himself up and tries to steady himself. “And I thought fighting in the Zero G chamber was bad.” He pulls out his pistols and aimed for the Troopers’ wheels. He opens fires at the tire and manages to nail some of them. He smiles at his success. “How fracking cool am I?!” Two of the troopers started to spiral out of control and heading towards his friend and his cycle.
Armorhide makes a couple of dips and turns, trying to avoid the spiraling Troopers. “Dude, watch it!” He shouted.
“Sorry about that, Big Sexy!” Narkaru told his friend still having that cocky smile on his face. He than proceed to jump on the Trooper.

Armorhide guns the engine and rides up to where Narkaru was at. Two Autotroopers speed alongside Armorhide and Outpace and try to sandwich them. "Dammit!" He can't fire and he has the kid with him. He can't even ram them neither. if he does, he would both endanger the kid and damage Outpace. This is isn't looking good right now. He hates being a riding target right now. "Guys! I need a little hand here!"

Hexilion managed to swerve out of the way of the damaged autotroopers, but she still had a lead on the larger turtle bot. She nodded to her partner as she looked back at Armorhide and Outpace, channeling her power into D12's conduit. Teryx had been training her into doing more then enhancer-style modifications and it was time to put that training into practice. "Armorhide, get ready to flip the scraps!" She cried back to her friend as she fired a set of grenades off to the side even as she swerved over and hit the brakes hard, gripping onto Dualcast's handles. She knew she'd owe the vehicle former an apology and some repairs as the both of them crashed hard into the Autotrooper on the right.
The engine block on her vehicular attack's victim crunched inwards as they were slammed backward,damaged swiftly by the bulk of Dualcast's mass. What most hadn't realized in the dust and confusion of Hexilion's hexes was that Dualcast hadn't just grown large under her attack. The table and chairs and even machinery that surrounded her bulking form had disappeared, added into the structure and weight of the former cheetah-former to reinforce her new alt mode. As a result she outmatched the typical Autotrooper in terms of structural integrity. Hexilion grinned back in satisfaction at the now damaged autotrooper struggling to keep moving in their alt mode.
Meanwhile the grenades thrown in the path of Armorhide's other attacker exploded underneath it, causing a violent seizure of transformation, not of the enhancer kind but of the kind that gave their race its name. What was unexpected was how this caused the police trooper to explode in a burst of tenacles upwards and outwards as it struggled to maintain it's vehicle mode. So focused on keeping its speed was it that Armorhide has ample opportunity to rip something out or 'flip the scrap' as his friend suggested.
The trooper that Naruka was dealin with struggled to throw the lemur-ninja off of it's hood as it started to slam back and forth against the walls of the tunnels. Even with the damage to it's windshield it seems to see taking out the would-be leader of the team as a worthy cause for it's own demise. Hexilion grimaced as she looked ahead, even as the autotroopers antics managed to bring them closer. "Naraku, we're almost in the clear if we can get rid of your playmate!"

Armorhide nodded. "Outpace, think you can grab the wheels for a second?" He asked his partner. He's going to have to make this up to her after this is over. After giving controls over to Outpace, he wondered what she meant by flip the scraps. Than he saw the Autotrooper violently being transformed against its will and exploding with tentacles. He was a little taken back from this action. "When in the pit did she learn that?" Armorhide got his head back into the situation. He told the kid to hold on and asked Outpace to get a little closer to the scrap. He grabs the mass of tentacles. "Gross!" he recoiled at the sensation of the tentacle beast transformed autotrooper. He idly wonders if he's going to be in the decontamination chamber after this. With little to no effort, he tosses the scrap behind him and Hexilion. The mass of tentacles took out the Autotroopers that was ganging behind him. Armorhide heard the satisfactory crunch and small explosions. Less problems to deal with now.
Narkaru just saw what happened and made a mental note not to piss off Hexilion. Ever. Now back to his little playmate here. Narkaru quickly pulls out a grenade and tosses into the damaged Autotrooper. Armorhide rode up to Narkaru. The lemur-ninja quickly got on and held on to his friend.
