Jess struggled with the controls of the ship, barely managing to level their descent somewhat as they approached Terra Firma. It was enough that she was finally able to open the airlock for Discord without risking incinerating the crew. "Ok council member, do your thing!" She called out over the comms, even as another rail shot passed by the ship outside. "Wolfang, i could use some good news... Is the emergency landing gear deploying?" ***** The ships attacker smirks to herself even as she plunges back into the sea. This will be the easiest contract shes dealt with yet for the maverick cause. Discord might spot her from the air, a large whale shaped reploid speeding away from land even as she fires on the ship again.

The wolf reploid shook his head. "It's no good, Jess! I'll have to see if I can deploy it manually, the cables appear to be shot!" He reported before running down to the lowest deck and opening some of the metal panels to get to the landing gear. From there, he used his hind legs to kick at the landing gear to force it open and into deployment. Storm Eagle seemed to be looking to the door were Sunstorm had exited with notable worry.
On the ground level there was finally some communication from the surface. The voice of an elderly man with a german accent came over the comm. "Your coming in Vast and you seem to 'ave taken damage, Perhaps I can be of some... service?" the old man offered mysteriously. The signal hard to trace other than it was somewhere on the planet's surface.

Discord gulped, momentarily having second thought about jumping out of a crashing shuttle, but the fact she would be dead if she didn't prompted her to jump clear. Shifting from bot to beast in mid air was always a thrill for her, but the sheer speed she was falling at the moment took away a good portion of that. As did the strain on her wings.
Pushing past the pain she latched on and put everything she had into slowing them down.

Jess tried to comfort Storm Eagle with a pat on the head, but it was all she could do before her attention turned back to the controls. She grimaced at the voice, the sounds of german bringing back bad memories from her youth. Still any port in a storm... She activated the comm link. "Yes yes, we could use some help. The local riff raffs done a lot of damage to our ship!" She responds. †************** Discords efforts seem to be helping with the ship's descent, though theyve also caught the attention of its attacker. BFG Whale has stopped her escape in the water and is firing once again on the ship, attempting to get rid of its 'pest' in her mind.

"Ok, you wanna play? You got it." Dis growled as she let go of the shuttle and brought her weapons systems on line. With a falcon like scream she pulled her legs and wings in close as she fell into a stoop, aimed at their attacker. As soon as she was within range her weapons began to spit fire and tungsten rounds.

Wolffang had manage to get the landing gear down, though it wasn't easy. "Ok Jess, Landing gear is down!" He announced over the comm system in the ship. The wolf repliod then made his way back up to the bridge. "I miss anything?" He asked as the little Storm Eagle seemed only minorly comforted by Jess as he waited for the return of the two Cybertronians.
In response to Jess, Two large skull shaped Turret's surfaced off of the beach from under ground and opened fire on BFG Whale with searing hot plasma as well as an electric field coating the beam. Truly top of the line technology, and familiar to those who had met Breakman or ever had dealings with Dr. Albert Wily. The fire was aimed very precise and carefully as to avoid Discord and any other "Friendlies" nearby. After which behind the Turrets a line of small red lines lit up a landing path for the transport.

BFG Whale returned fire with her own blasters, damage being taken largely by her armor. Sections of her large head started to open up as what appeared tp be... a fusion cannon was revealed!?! However this left parts of her internals exposed as the continued rain of fire started making real damage. The skull cannons themselves seemed to send the reploid into seizures causing her to sink into the sea... for the moment. ********* The appearance of the skull cannons shocked jess, bringing back memories of a childhood best left forgotten. "Y-yeah wolfang... we're fine..." She responded cautiously before coming in fo r a landing. She couldnt help but mutter to herself, "Wily?...." She was still visibly shaken over this, even as Rhinox and Sunstorm re-entered the room.

Letting out a raptor shriek Discord tucked her wings again and fell, opening them only when she was skimming the waves, going head on on the Whale. Pulling up at the last minute she landed hard on it's head, talons sinking into it's flesh. Bounding forward she shifted to bot form and began precision targeting the exposed structure.

Stormeagle eagerly greeted Sunstorm upon his return, circling him in the air and landing beside him. Clearly he felt more safe with the other Avian bot nearby and in sight. Wolfang looked concerned at Jess, Not really buying her comment of being fine. Something clearly had her spooked, "Jess... What exactly ha--" He started before hearing Jess mutter something as they came in for a landing. The landing strip itself seemed to have a skull design painted into it and even the little lights that lined it came from tiny eye sockets of tiny skulls. At the end of the run way was a thin shadowy figure that seemed to be wearing a lab coat, but their was a heavy mist making it hard to tell more than that. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Skull canons continued to provide support for Discord without endangering her or getting in her way. They seemed to be both automated, and have a very advanced AI system.

BFG Whale howled at the onslaught of discords talons, jerking back and forth as she struggled to regain xontrol of her body. At this close of a range, discord could feel the ionization of the air from the preparing weapon. Her attacksslowed its charge, damaging key components... but it manages to shift in position inside of the mechanical being, firing just off center of discord. *****†***** Jess instinctively armored up at the sight of the being, even as sunstorm smiled at his young ward. Hjs expression lessened as he noticed her state as well. "We... we should see what he wants...." Jessica said in a soff and stunned tone before heading to the hanger exit. One arm instinctively shifts to cannon mode, but she manages to grab it and focus, shifting it back to its original form as ahe exits. "I... am confused wolfang. Why does she seem afraid of our savior?" Sunstorm asks.

OOC: Hey folks, I'm kinda guest staring for this little story bit ;p, not claiming all my old characters.
IC: There was loud rumble from the aft section of the ship where the bathroom was. "&*(#$^*#@(*#@&%^((*@#*(&^&*@#@@(" Bellowed out the extremely pissed off voice of Nekura as she stormed out of the bathroom.
"I swear to Primus, God, Unicorn, whaever gods exist, Everytime I use the bathroom on a ship..." She grumbled as she managed to catch up with the others.
"...So... what did I miss This time?" she half asked,half sighed to anyone within hearing distance.

"Ok, I'm pulling out, I'm getting more then a little crispy here." Discord commed as she sent a few more shots into the whale before diving off and skimming across the water to the landing strip. /I so need to increase my armor, I just am not as hardy as I used to be./ she thought.

Wolfang followed after Jess in concern, he was quiet a moment before hearing Sunstorm and then Nekura whom had just come from the ships bathroom. "Doctor Albert Wily was a scientist in Earth's history that sought to conquer the world in the name of Robot Masters, Pre-Reploids. He believed they were superior to human kind... At least that's what history says. His calling card is are skull shaped machines and fortresses." The wolf reploid ex-plained from what little he knew on the guy. What his connection to Jess was, he wasn't sure. None the less, he followed her in a protective fashion, waving the others to follow. Storm Eagle clung to Sunstorm feeling save so long as he was with the other avian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Skull cannons fired in the path of the on coming beam that BFG Whale managed to get off. Halting it from causing further damage. The figure on the landing strip walked towards the ship a few steps as the fog cleared enough to show an old man with a mostly balding head, white hair and a mustache. He was thin with a lab coat and tie with a skull clip on it. Upon closer inspection one could tell this person may have once been human but years of augmentation and alterations left Dr. wily as little more than 10% organic with the rest oh his being being replaced with advanced reploid mechanics and perhaps something even more advanced than that, something completely new the world hadn't seen yet. "I trust zat your all safe? It does not look like your ship was damaged..." He stated seeming to give it a quick scan.

BFG Whale howls as the beam is halted ,the backlash of fusion energy combined with Discord's blasts causing a great deal of internal damage. There is a small reactor explosion from inside her open chassis, throwing the reploid even further into the water. If it's survived this... it's too damage to continue fighting them. *********************** "But... that was centuries ago. Surely the humans did not have the technology to last this long... did they?" Sunstorm asked calmly, stroking Storm Eagle's head comfortingly. "A duplicate maybe? It doesn't seem... quite as evil as this man you spoke of. Though I have had experience in that sort of thing." He added lightly, heading down the stairs and looking in Discord's direction. ************************ Jessica just stares at him for a few moments, her face looking conflicted. If his scans were to hit herself... there are the faint teletale signs of upgrades over the years to herself. Her body may be reploid at this point but bits and pieces still remained of her robot master origins."We... are unharmed..." She says breathlessly, forcing her hand on her usual blaster side open if only to prevent it from changing back into into cannon form. A part of her noted the bits and pieces of exotic tech. She wasn't a doctor, but she knew that it was like nothing she had seen. Of course, the same had been said of her brother no matter what era he existed in. And Wily had been the cause. "Why... why help us?" She finally stutters out, taking a defensive position. Her cannon reformed on reflex, though she kept it pointed away. "You waged war on my grandfather! This doesn't make sense!"

"Sunstorm, if there's one thing I've learned, crazy slag happens to a ex crew member of the Axlon, we're freaking Magnets for it." Nekura said as she followed the group down. As she did, she pressed on a ear stud that was her left ear, causing a visor of her own creation to snap down...
and then heard Jess' little outburst.
"oh Slag it." The medic muttered as she rushed over to the hunter. Manging to get there before everyone else, she gently placed her hands on Jess' arm cannon and slowly lowered it. "easy there." she said in a VERY well practiced tone of calmness. "we're not going to blow the nice man who just save us." ~even if he's possiably crazy as pit~ Nekura thought as she looked towards Wily... and blinked the readouts on the visor were snapping off Data like lighting... very familiar data.
~okay, how the HELL am I getting this kind of reading? the tech I'm getting of him is...holy slag... Her mind raced.~Okay, don't panic. first, get things settle down and then...~ she thought as she eyed everyone... Jess was out,so was Wolfang on general purposes. Discord wouldn't know, being new to the council. Storm Eagle was too young. her father... maybe, but she needed answers now and he had a habit of dodging her questions...
Which left Sunstorm to explain WHY she was picking up trace elements of late 2000-era cybertron tech in Wily's cybernetics
