A Game of Ball}OPEN

[KITT]

"Danielle!" KITT shouted in panic as she slipped out. He should have seen that coming! Well, not everyone was graceful. Meanwhile, KARR was busy shooting at KITT's front, and KITT was getting quite irritated.

"HAHA, KITT, you should really learn to contain your humans better!" KARR cackeld as he turned and zipped after Danielle. Damn she was fast, but he'd catch up. "Little brat...how dare you call me that!" Both AI's activated turbo boost and accelerated after Danielle.

Sure Danielle was basically the damsel in distress, but with her being ale to move so darn fast, it was really quite an odd situation for the two bots who were used to humans being notoriously SLOW. KITT didn't want Danielle slowing down just yet for her own safety either, so long as she didn't tire.

"When I get you, Danielle, that seat belt goes ON!" KITT accelerated even further, jets of blue energy streaming behind both of their forms. KITT would have rammed KARR in the side if those blasted Saber-Chainsaws weren't there. KARR immediately tried to ram his left side just as he was thinking about this and immediately activated ski mode and turbo-boosted forward again into an oddly graceful barrel roll.

As he barell rolled, KITT was very quick and on top of the situation this time. He transformed into his robot form, which is quite a bit bigger than about Bumblebee's size, and immediately held the power level of his ion boosters and leapt foward, gliding straight to Danielle with ease, reaching out for her with a powerful swipe, turning around to skid onto his knees and fire his gattling guns at KARR upon picking her up. "Get on my head, I'd say the shoulder, but I don't want you dealing with the weapons."

[Danielle Erickson]

Danny shook it off and sped up even faster. "You're moody Mr. Teddy Bear! PBBBBL!" This time she was starting to have some fun, she even got the chance to start running backwards momentarily and stick her tongue out at Karr in a taunting motion. "If you keep swingin at me with those things you honestly expect to catch me? I could make you smack yourself around if I wanted." She chuckled before turning back around to run in a blur.

However almost as soon as she did, Kitt had scooped her up himself. Not arguing she ran up his arm onto his shoulder and finally onto his head where she seated herself comfortably, making sure to hold on tight to what she could. "If you need a distraction let me know Kitt." Staring out towards Karr. "What's he doing here anyways?" She mused in question.

[KITT]

"Thanks Danny, but I think I'll be okay. He is actually my brother. Older brother believe it or not. You're going to make him angry with all that taunting. He's become quite moody over the years for some reason." KITT explained casually as KARR transformed into his bot mode as well, growling in anger at Danielle's teasing. KARR charged and swung fowrard with his left chainsaw, which KITT summoned a large red, two pronged energy sword with almost the same type of energy as the chainsaws. He managed to catch the chainsaw between the prongs and with sheer strength twisted left and towards KARR. He swung his body far to the right trying to keep his arm where it was with the energy sword so KARR couldn't immediately hack at him.

"SHE'S DYING FAR WORSE THAN YOUR LAST GIRLFRIEND DID!" KARR shouted as he twisted his blade and yanked it out of the prongs, sending sparks flying everywhere as he he immediately shifted a bit and simultaneously jabbed straight forward with the other, revving the teeth around the saw to life.

Of course, KARR wasn't really implying that Danielle necessarily was KITT's latest girl friend. He knew Corina had been, and eventually he decided to end their love story and shred her up when KITT was out of reach. He'd managed to get her that time. KITT had fallen silent for days, avoiding KARR at all costs once the ordeal was over. In KARR's mind they were all just weak fleshings. What good company did they bring anyway? He always felt like he was talking to some kind of bug that really needed to be squished. Especially the annoying ones like this! If KARR was jealous, it was very hard to tell through his anger.

As KARR jabbed forth with the other chainsaw again, KITT lunged back and shot multiple rounds from his gattling guns and drew his plasma gun, aiming the large terrifying blasts at KARR, who immediately rocketed back and to KITT's left just out of range.

It seemed like this would go on forever or until KARR left from boredom. "Leave me alone KARR, I'm really not in the mood to fight."

"Aww, you sure look like you're having fun though," KARR sneered.

[Danielle Erickson]

"That's one hell of a brother, he diffidently woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Danny said through extremely un-obvious and hidden sarcasm. As the two thrashed around Danny had laid down on her belly to avoid being shot, stilling holding on for dear life and watching Karr closely. All she could hear was saber chain saw clashing with saber rimmed sword. She had to duck down a bit from the sparks that flew from each time they crashed together and slid off one another.

Girl friend? She could immediately sense a bit of remorse and sadness from Kitt, but it quickly disappeared again as soon as he lunged for Karr. And to make things worse, Karr seemed hella angrified. Honestly, she was NOT going to let that mad dog catch her, he'd probably crush her over and over but let her live to do crush her some more, the rest, she didn't exactly want to find out.

No fear was shown here though, she wanted to help but frankly she didn't want to get into Kitt's way and end up getting him harmed or into trouble worse than she already had. She watched as more rounds of ammo was fired, she had to do something!

[KITT]

"Tell me about it," KITT agreed, despite his tone still sounding emotionless. KARR slashed inward with his two saws, and KITT fired two rockets from his sides, forcing the chainsaws back. He initiated the Electro Magnetic Pulse wave and immediately, KARRs chainsaws and plasma gun de-activated just prior to his own attempt at sending the wave to KITT.

KARR growled and initiated an EMP wave just as KITT sent out a secondary one, and two huge arcs of energy blasted between them as KARR jumped towards KITT, who side stepped and shifted behind him, quickly slamming an elbow into KARRs left side before the 'Con turned around. KARR managed to activated his EMP wave while in mid motion, shutting down his energy sword and plasma gun as well. They both quickly put away their weapons.

KARR turned around and they both sent two more waves of energy that would hold off their access to weapons even longer than normal, and did not allow their magnetic energy field to use as a shield either. KARR rocketed forward and managed to sweep KITT onto as back just seconds before KITT tried to shift to the side away from KARR.

With a heavy thump KITT was brought down on the ground, with out time to warn Danielle. KARR pounced and immediately, KITT simultaneously brought up his knees and arms trying to shove him off but KARR weight himself down on the Autobot and forced KITT to shift his arms and legs slightly to one side as he kept moving forward.

"Watch out!" KITT managed to warn as a large knee slammed down just past his own arms onto his chest. KARR began to rise slightly while swooping a hand down for Danielle. His lower body being open, KITT tried to grab the other leg as it moved up to his arms. He grabbed the knee and shin and twisted it just as KARR tried to grab Danielle...

[Danielle Erickson]

If Danielle could cover her throbbing ears she would, but right now she was focused on trying to hold on with bein thrown off like a horse bucking one off with whip lash in a rodeo. She had tried burying her head in her arms to try and just stay unseen and not see any of this anymore. The sudden explosion, heat, and light was just stinging her eyes severely. She nearly slid off as Karr fired some new wave of energy at Kitt.

She looked back up but became utterly confused in the mayhem to of what exactly was being fired at and from whom. Holding on tight she had been doing thankfully, she covered her head again with one arm from the large explosion, then looked back up and crawled forward a ways to see what else was going on. This whole time she didn't realized, she still had that blue ball. It was being held onto between her ankles, being extremely cautious, she slowly moved down with her free arm and rolled it up with her, having it now in her left arm while her right arm hung on to Kitt.

Here came the fun part. "Whoa!" Danny called out, but not loud enough to be heard of by the explosions as Kitt had to move suddenly to help evade Karr's attack. And without warning, Kitt was dropped down to the ground, Danny smacked onto the top of his head from accidentally letting go and landing. "Kitt!" Danny called out in an obviously worried tone before looking over at Karr who had him pinned. Trying to stand, and still slightly winded, Danielle held onto her ribs for a moment but then grabbed the ball with both hands and pulled her arms back over her to throw. She wasn't going to just flee and leave Kitt that's for sure! Just as Karr was reaching for her, Danny hailed the ball forward as fast as she could for extra strength, the ball flew to be aimed for what looked to be, Karr's left eye. In this however, she hadn't jumped back in time as he had snatched her up before being nearly pushed over by Kitt. "Gah! Put me down you big moose!" She slammed her fists onto Karr's hand continuously, but of course, had no effect besides tiring herself out a bit.

[KITT]

"Woop!" KARR shouted as he detected KITT trying to flip him onto his backside by twisting one of his legs. KARR immediately leaned to the right a bit and stomped hard on KITTs left shoulder, also slamming the front of his foot hard into his neck and jaw area (the foot being so huge and all). KITT tried to move away and grunting in pain, even with the nano machines having trouble trying to keep up.

KARR rolled away, grabbing Danielle tightly as she helplessly pounded at his hand clutched around her. The ball didn't even hurt KARR in the slightest, it just hit his left, bright yellow scanner, which continued pacing in and out the same way KITT's did.

"Moose? HA! You are one strange disgusting being, you know that? Oh the things I wanna do you right now. Shall I keep squeezing until KITT fails to stop me? He'd try every time. He helps EVERYBODY." as KARR spoke, KITT was getting up, sending another EMP wave to shut off his weapons. KARR fired another EMP wave, shutting off both their turbo boost systems. They had to rely on their own speed from scratch now, which was still very fast for most bots. Especially with them not being the biggest out there, they were pretty nimble.

KITT growled and swung around behind KARR, trying to tackle him. As he tackled, his nano machines were slowly repairing the damage KARR had done when stomping on his right shoulder. "What will it take for you to shut up and leave me alone for once?"

KARR swung away and tried to drop kick and elbow KITT, but KITT raised his right elbow and kicked sharply at KARR's left knee, making him buckle a bit. "Till I can't punch or kick any more!" KARR lashed out his right hand and grabbed KITT's wrist, immediately twisting it. All though KITT had no optics to show pain, it looked like it hurt. KITT tried to move away as KARR shifted in attempting to put him into an arm bar, putting weight on KITTs left arm with his right elbow/ wrist which held Dannielle.

"Watcha gonna do now mr.NiceGuy?" KARR sneered. KARR brought KITT closer, twisting his arm as he went. KITT grit his 'teeth' in pain. Carefully, he inched his left leg towards KARR as he was yanked closer, trying to get a good chance to blow out his knee. Suddenly KITT pulled his leg back and sent an incredibly powerful back-side kick to KARRs right knee, scraping down ward with a hiss of metal with the edge of his foot. "That." KITT replied simply, actually hinting bemusement in his voice.

[Danielle Erickson]

Danny couldn't stand the sight of the attacks that Karr was throwing onto Kitt, they made her shudder a bit to see him in so much pain. She had to help! Squirm, trying to pull herself free, but no matter how hard she tried it only felt like Karr was tightening his grip on her which led to him slightly crushing her to the point she couldn't try anymore but give up from such lack of energy and pain to where she hung loosely in Karr's grip.

Danielle growled at the insults which made her try to sit up and began squirming again in an attempt to get free, but failing miserably just liked last time. "Do whatever you want to me, just leave Kitt alone!" She was obviously wearing herself out from trying her futile escapes, but she just couldn't stop trying no matter how hopeless.

As Karr was tackled, most people tend to tense their muscles a bit, going for Decepticons and Autobots too. Danny felt his grip tighten for a moment then go down slightly allowing her to breath. But again, she noticed how Karr was beating on Kitt and she couldn't stand it. She tried running in place, her legs becoming a blur but still, nothing. 'Poor Kitt, this is all my fault.' She thought to herself with a worried frown. "Eck!" She was whipped around as Karr attempted his arm bar on Kitt and succeeded, managing to only bring Kitt into more pain which caused Danielle to try again on trying to pull herself out of Karr's grip which would fail again. Danielle just kept squirming as Karr was smacked around back by Kitt. "Geez death grip much?!"

[KITT]

KITT felt KARR flinch and loose his hold so immediately he kicked again and set himself free, KARRs right knee sparked---a LOT, and the nanomachines struggled to repair all the damage. KARR buckled down on the ground for a second, but still kept his hold on Danielle, holding her a little tighter."Do you REALLY wanna hear the sound of your own bones cracking?" With the pressure he was squeezing at now, it was highly possible.

"LEAVE her ALONE." KITT growled. He suddenly charged forward with a burst of energy in a dark blurr and thrust out a chicken kick to KARRs face, who blocked it with his hand as he was standing up.

In another blurr, KITT swung in, his right arm snaking around KARR's, pushing it away while his left arm did a similar movement, grabbing for KARRs right lower arm which held Danielle. He sent two more EMP bursts, and KARR sent one as well, cancelling out the 2nd KITT sent. KITT prevailed and managed to send out a third while distracting KARR with grabbed his right arm.

Having been distracted, KITT was successful, and locked his elbow in tight, completely trapping KARR's arm which held Danielle. He grabbed the upper part of KARRs arm and held on with a death grip as he sent a nasty snap kick to KARR's face, who managed to swing out of the way but not let go of Danielle. As he kicked he hacked a fist down on KARRs arm joint with a tremendous amount of force, as much as he'd used on the back knife edge side kick.

Inadvertently, and much to KARR's dismay, his reflexes were not good enough to keep hold of Danielle. His fingers began to slip...

KITT briskly side stepped back as KARR tried to turn in towards him again, growling menacingly. KITT's right hand quickly tapped at KARRs wrist, snatching Danielle just in time before KARR managed to squeeze his hand shut again. Safe for now... KITT leapt backwards, activating a pool of nanomachines to form wings to spread behind his back.

"I really don't want to take this to the air," he muttered, glancing at Danielle.

[Danielle Erickson]

"AGH!!!!!!!" As soon as Karr squeezed down, Danny let out a loud yelp or pain. Her ribs were being compressed into onto her internal organs, and she could indeed hear cracking as more was crushed. She felt more and more pressure build to where she couldn't breath anymore the pain was so tremendous, her face felt stiff like all the blood has rushed to her head at once.

Suddenly the pressure had lifted up a bit, the pressure also releasing from her face, it felt like it'd explode. She could breath again, though it hurt like hell with every shallow breath she took in and out. She hung limp, but quite conscious, just tired in Karr's cruel grasp as Kitt came in to attack again. 'I feel like a hamster in the hands of a 12 year old psycho.' She grumbled to herself. She couldn't help but cringe as Karr jumped around or was shaken in releasing and taking these waves they kept sending off to each other in attack.

Again with the swinging, Danielle's body only swung loose with every movement Karr made. Karr's left arm that also held Danny in a death grip trembled from the hit which made Danny groan in agony.

Finally, hearing Kitt's voice this close meant Karr no longer had her,but she still couldn't help but hang there in Kitt's grasp. Though, she did managed to turn her head a bit and look up just to make sure. Being shaken, squeezed, and whipped around all in one day but a Decepticon sure was her idea of fun. "Do what you have to Kitt, I'm fine." She just seemed happy that Kitt recovered from the earlier attacks so quickly.

[KITT]

KITT noticed his weapons were slowly starting to function again as KARR charged. He jumped into the air flapping his wings briskly and activated all four ion boosters, zipping away. KARR spread his own black wings and persued, just as KITT fired four large rounds of plasma energy from his plasma gun in four different directions in front of karr, then shot four more down lower in different areas.

KARR had trouble evading all of them and several singed his wings and damaged legs and head. KITT fired another EMP wave while shooting all the rounds, barely giving KARR room to draw his own plasma gun. KITT retured fire just as KARR did, the only difference was KARR's failed.

KARR roared in frustration as he began to swerve down and right by was caught in the explosion of another huge net of blasts. KITT was irritated. This was not a good day for either of them, for one of the final blasts managed to hit KARR almost square in the head, severely damaging one of his scanners.

KARR quickly turned away and descended quickly, turbo-boosting out of site. "It seems as though you've improved since I killed your huuuuman lover. You got lucky, but you haven't come close to gettin rid of me yet, BROTHER!" KARR was quickly out of sight.

"I'm relieved he decided to bug off this time." KITT said with a frustrated sigh, still thinking of Corina. KARR definitely knew how to irritate him and remain a thorn in his side.

KITT relaxed a little bit as he hovered there, flapping his wings briefly. He made sure his grip was far more gentle, and then brought brought both his hands together, one supporting the other like an odd cradle so Danielle would be a bit more comfortable. By a few miles per hour, KITT was trying to ease his mind, descending to the ground slowly. They were only about 500 feet up in the air after furiously turbo-boosting their way up, so they didn't have far to go.

"We should probably get those bones checked out." KITT advised as he neared the ground, his two scanners directed right at her as the LED lights continued to pace.

[Danielle Erickson]

Danielle seemed far from in dealing with Karr, this guy didn't know when to take a hike. Shaking her head and stopping suddenly from a pain in her neck, but quickly waved it off so Kitt not to notice and sat up a bit to check out what was going on now. She set her elbow on the side of Kitt's fist, using her palm to support her head by her chin with an annoyed expression. If she had the ability to blow stuff up with her mind Karr's *ss would be exploding all over the place right now.

Danny could barely keep track of anything because her neck was so soar from being shaken around so violently, it'd wear off though soon enough. "Good riddance." Danny grumbled again, letting herself go limp another time. As Kitt switched positions she noticed her neck cracked, being able to move it again without so much pain, much better. She didn't even want to know high up they were, she didn't care either. She was just glad this didn't turn into a tug-o-war.

"I'm fine, you ok Kitt? You're the one who was getting the beating out there. How did you manage all that?"

[KITT]

"I don't really know. We know each other too well. We've been enemies since the 80's, when we weren't even blessed these forms." KITT replied. "As you can plainly tell, we're not normal bots."

KITT actually felt some pain for once in his neck and right jaw, but there was no way to show the expression that would be on his face unless he used his holographic form. "KARR may seem to act younger than me, but he's actually a decade older. Hard to believe huh?" he shrugged a bit, feeling his much larger neck crack as he tilted it far to the left.

Once finally reaching the ground, his large nanomachine wings disappeared, back between the two main Ion boosters in the upper part of his back. "We've been fighting like this ever since and now that our survival rate has gone up it seems like our fighting is meant doomed to be eternal unless someone manages to destroy one of us."

[Danielle Erickson]

Danielle blinked, listening closely and sitting up herself with her legs crossed and her hands in her lap. "Wow, it does seem hard to believe, ugh, what's his problem against humans and techno organics?" She rubbed the bottom of her rib caged and winced slightly, hiding it well that she had even done so. "I didn't mean to get you into such a mess Kitt, and uh heh, I don't really intend to destroy anyone, I don't think I could and I do not think I'd be able to do so to you. Not because you're stronger but.. Thanks Kitt, I'm really really sorry I got you into that mess, I'm such an idiot some times."

She sighed softly, she WAS an idiot most the time, always to confident thinking she can get out of everything and anything until someone else gets involved, once that happens she and the other pupil go down. "I've watched my dad repair his comrades all the time, but, I think your nanomachines are doing the trick, unless you'd like me to try and help. You looked like you were in alot of pain back there."

She wasn't going to wish for anymore action right now or maybe for a small short while for that matter, now she knew what be careful what you wish for meant. And all that fighting just seemed completely pointless, all it did was give the three here injury, and what goal exactly was fo-filled? Her annoyed expression had fled into that of a sorrowful, yet and calm one.

[KITT]

"It's all right really. KARR does this to me wether or not there are humans around. It's merely a bonus for him. Today happened to be another unlucky one. If he had been any more prompt about killing you he could have done so as soon as he had you. But of course, he's just another Decepticon that likes to fight for the pleasure of it. KITT replied, shaking his head slightly.

He knelt down the ground and lowered his hands to the Earth, offering Danielle a chance to hop off easily. "And I think I'll be all right. It was a hard kick is all. Yes, the nanomachines are already at work. It should be better in a few seconds. I appreciate the offer though." KITT paused a bit then glanced back at her.

"Well, now what would you like to do? Do you have anywhere you need to go that requires transportation? I don't particularly feel like standing around here even though I'm pretty sure he won't come back today. Nothing has popped up on my agenda..." he asked.
