Rumble and Frenzy both pulled their weapons from their back, as Laserbeak and Buzzsaw perched one Soundwave's shoulders. Ravage approached the door and sniffed, the familiar sent told him it was Steeljaw on the other side. Megatron took a look over the cassettes; no damage had been done to them due to Soundwave's safe keeping.
The door began to open and Megatron transformed. Steeljaw bounded through and Ravage caught him mid air forcing them both in to the wall in the small stair well. Beachcomber had tried to follow Steeljaw in but a blast from Megatron priced the Autobot sending him smoking to the ground. Rumble and Frenzy looked out the door knowing that Blaster will be following soon. For the moment nothing, Soundwave followed as the stepped in to what looked like a meeting room. For the moment Soundwave stopped taking in the direction of the exit and cross-referencing it with the present location. He took off then in a run going though the door on the left. He had a plan; there was an airshaft on this level and with the release of his two condors getting out maybe faster this way. Soundwave stopped at a junction in the walkway listening for Autobots then continuing to the right. Ravage had finally caught up, he was stained energon around the mouth, but didn't look any worse for wear. Just as Soundwave was preparing to start he froze. Two Autobots where nearing him, he listened again to identify them. Yes it was not hard to figure out who was coming. Cliffjumper's loud stomp and Huffer's slight drag, Soundwave had heard it many times. The two Autobots did not pose a threat to him, but could cause others to find them. Soundwave waited till they where nearly in the intersection then blasted the two Autobots using Megatron. Four shots fired and four impacts and holes though armor plaiting. The red and yellow Autobots did not have a chance to react, but just fell to the ground in emergency stasis. Soundwave paused again, this time no sound. He started to the air duct, the distance to it short. The vent it self was in the middle of a tee junction, as he approached he herd more Autobots approaching. This Autobot was all too familiar, as were his little friends.
Soundwave linked telepathically to his cassettes, as a warning of Blaster's cassettes following him. He waited till the Autobot boom box was just about to turn the corner then shot, the Autobot moved reflexively, as the three cassettes ran around the corner to help. Soundwave closed the distance and shot again this, time not giving Blaster the room to react. The shot was a little wide and clipped the Autobots shoulder. Blaster was not fazed at the burn mark, and jumped at Soundwave knocking him to the ground.
Ramhorn had come around the corner at a full gallop ramming in to Rumble and Frenzy. Frenzy was able to twist away just enough to only be pushed and slightly scratched. Rumble however had taken the blow full force and lay on the ground sparking and shacking to get up.
Laserbeak had caught Eject and had flown off with him, returning with out him. Buzzsaw had pushed Rewind to the ground and had serrated off one arm and was busy on the next.
Soundwave was not as concerned with defeating the Autobot as he was rendering the Autobot unable to call for aid. He let Megatron fall to the ground and used both hands to hold Blaster still then fired to blasts from his concussion cannon in to Blaster's chest. Suddenly the Autobot was yanked off him as Megatron hoisted him in to the air by the back of his neck.
