Chris groaned lightly, that hurt slightly, though not as badly as he had thought. "Sorry for scaring you there Leo, but I had to get Ravage somewhere not populated." He commented "And thanks Ratchet." His eyes took a look around seeing no sign of Ravage "I don't see him anywhere."

"Dude, Devastator, remember? Saving people from a burning, crashed, helicopter? I'll freak later," Leo responded, sounding eerily calm.
He went to his special place, the place he started reserving for times like this. Because...he was going to have a lot of times like this now. Not to mention if Sam were in danger...he wouldn't have stopped chasing after them. He would have kept running, trying to get to Sam and...he hadn't done that for Chris. He had let Chris go alone and how could he say that he wanted more friends?
He shifted and looked over at Chris with HoloRatchet. "Dude, I'm starting to get used to this. Is that bad?"

"Better that you get used to it now. Less heart attacks later...." Ratchet replied. His holoform dissappeared allowing Chris to get back to his seat. Ratchet now focused his sensors outward trying to locate Ravage or anyother decepticon that could be tracking them. He inwardly hoped Prime or someone arrived soon, fighting was not his main programming.

Ravage swerved right then left, jumping up a few feet in the air as Ratchet came to save Chris and Leo. The black Autobot was busy fighting Nightridge so Ravage had no concern over him. Ravage moved quick as a bolt of black lighting, moving away from them and behind Ratchet, though some of the bullets clipped his tail and rear legs as he swept past.
From that point he was out of sight for quite a while. All though it looked like he'd fled just to hide, in reality, Ravage was motivated and irritated enough that was actually going around. He was on a frenzy, moving faster than he'd ever run in quite a while. Swerving outwards back to the direction of the college (as Nightridge and KITT would spot him if he went the other way), Ravage ran low through bushes and scaled along the side of the library. He avoided all cement to silence his steps and made his way across one side of the parking lot, jumping long distances to aid in the silence.
Pivoting around, Ravage picked up his speed even more, giving the Autobot almost zero time to warn Ratchet before he suddenly appeared in the perimeters of the area and leapt from the side-stair case to their right a few yards back. He cleared the distance easily since Ratchet had barely started moving.
With a heavy duty thud, Ravage landed almost right on top of the emergency truck. Aiming for the front of the truck and the edge of the top ahead of him, his two machine guns whirred to life as he prepped to execute a barrage of bullets on the Autobot.

"Well he's persistant in the fact he's not leaving here without me, isn't he?" Chris asked, hearing the pounce and knowing who it had had to be "Anyone have any ideas, or are we pretty much in serious trouble?" He asked he was thinking of things to do in his head, fight back, stay in Ratchet. Or just let Ratchet handle it as he knew he could. He was leaning towards the latter.

"I have an Idea!" Ratchet cried as he sped up. He fastened the boys' seat belts tightly as he began to slam and scrape into every non-occupied parked car on the side of the road. He swerved harshly trying to dislodge Ravage from the top of his form. Ratchet suddenly hit the brakes, hard. He opened both the cab doors and quickly expelled the boys. He transformed as quick as possible, reaching to grab Ravage while in mid-transformation. His buzz saw came to life screeching as he swung at the cat decepticon, slicing up a car that had been too close to the target.

Ravage hissed in annoyance as Ratchet sped up and began to swerve about to shake him off. He extended his claws and held on tightly until he noticed there was a slight pause in speed, hinting a vague sign of executing a transformation. Ratchet already started to transform when he took his claws out of the metal and pushed himself off. The buzz saw whirred by his face loudly by a couple inches.
With a thump, he landed a few feet away and pointed his machine gun up at Ratchet's head, and fired a barrage of bullets just before sweeping to the left and slightly behind the much larger bot. Size was no factor for Ravage. He would pivot back around if he swept back with the saw, but for the instant (literally), Ravage darted straight for Chris and Leo who were not that far away.

Chris could see Ravage comig and therefore did the first thing he could think of. He knew an energy blast would not do much damage but it would do enough to possibly slow him down. He held out his right palm and let out a surge of energy in Ravage's direction. "Back off!" He said simply.

Leo didn't like the sensation of being kicked out of Ratchet and hit the pavement of the parking lot with a soft cough. Well, he had a bruise now, and he was sure that it would show up eventually. He shifted and looked up, only to want to scream, though he managed not to.
He should be getting used to this and he suddenly locked himself in his calm place. For a moment, he felt desert sand under his hands and they were in Egypt again. He shook his head a little and looked at Ravage with a slight look of determination before aiming to get to Chris's side.

Ratchet raised an armored forearm and deflected the bullets from his face. He wasnt a very good fighter but he had some of the toughest armor. He tried to stomp on the little kitty bot, but Ravage was quick. He kept a protective huddle around the boys while trying to pick off Ravage with bursts from his gun.

Ravage saw Chris raise his hand as Ratchet began to fire a barrage of bullets. A few bullets clipped the right side of his jaw, and then the left and his left side as he swerved drastically to the right, but the blast was successfully dodged, though his tail appeared to be quite close to the ball of energy's path as he changed course. With a short burst of energy, Ravage accelerated and spun around to Ratchet's left, leaping high into the air for his upper leg or other arm. As he leapt forth, he fired again, hissing.

Chris quite litteraly shoved Leo and himself out of the way. Trying to keep them out of the way of Ravage. His instincts, akin to his Father's were kicking in. Optimus had always taught him to look out for a situation you knew you couldn't win. Sometimes, even easy-looking situations could be unwinable. "Ratchet we need to get out of here." He murmured though he said so loud enough that the Medic could probably hear him.

Leo aided in running away from Ravage. He stared at the robotic panther and pulled away. He rushed with Chris and let him handle the situation. Seriously though, he wasn't letting Chris give himself over again. He was going to put himself in-between the crazed robotic panther and Chris.
He looked over, briefly, at Chris, and he shifted more. He was running so that he was slightly between Chris and Ravage now...hopefully. Chris had this annoying habit of changing the spots on him.

Ratchet grunted in pain as bullets pinged off his armor, some embedding into it. He managed to protect his face however and dove out of the way. Before he would give Ravage the chance to close in, he dashed forward swinging with his gun arm to swat the 'con away. He brought his saw arm down as a shield protecting the boys' escape. He withdrew a laser scalpel and tossed it towards Chris, "Chris! Heads up!" hoping the boy could use it as a weapon in case Ravage got too close.

His form shooting through the roads, Optimus rushed to the scene, hearing the shooting from a distance. As he arrived, Optimus transformed, his optics laying rest on Ratchet, Leo, and Chris. Then the Decepticon. He allowed a growl to cross his lips, and he transformed again, charging at the cat like decepticon. Transforming as the distance closed between the fighting duo and himself, he transformed once again.
With a short burst of shots from his cannon, his gaze turned to Ratchet. "Get the two boys out of here. I'll handle the cat." |
