Frenzy scrabbled at the small purple cassetticon with an enraged shriek. He slashed and clawed wildly as they both tumbled across the road, Barricade lunging for the blue Decepticon that had struggled back into a standing position, toppling them both over the railing of the road barrier and down a grassy slope onto the interstate.
The two smaller mechs separated, Barricade's Frenzy getting a kick to his thin silver body, sending him bouncing along the tarmac. "Son of a maintenance drone!" Soundwave's Frenzy snarled turning his arms into his earth shaking pile-drivers.
The silver Frenzy hissed back as the earth shook beneath him. The sliver stalks where his optics were mounted swivelled to and fro as building and tarmac crumbled and bounced along the road. Not to mention a red mini-bot that toppled over thanks to the forceful vibrations behind this dimension's Prime.
Always flexible and never to be out done Barricade's partner skittered across the road like a silver dart, his CD shurikens coming forward in his chest ready to shoot. He fired one of his boomerang like disks, severing several energon lines in the blue and purple cassette's upper arm, rendering one of the drivers useless as the second one missed the cassette and rebounded off of a lamppost only to embedded itself in a shop window, somehow not even breaking the glass.
The blue and purple bot yelped as his arms transformed back in a flash of pain, the acrobatic, spindly mech baring down on him, this time with hooked claws and sharp pedes. He cried out as delicate wiring and even tough battle armour was shredded by the cackling silver opponent. To his relief he heard Soundwave eject his brother, Rumble charging up the slope and crashing into the hissing foreign looking cassette.
-Barricade-
Barricade rolled down the slope allowing the Decepticon to break his fall as they burst onto the highway. He landed heavily on the tape-deck making sure to fracture the glass of his chest with a well placed elbow as he rose. Car horns blared wildly around them as humans swerved and braked, smashing into each other. One car failed to stop as Barricade placed a pede down and nearly swept the Decepticon Shock Trooper from his pedes. His scanners sensed that the human had been killed as he turned t face the sparking, injured tape-deck "Rumble, Eject" the monotone mech ordered, pressing the button on his shoulder, the glass shifting and crunching as the front reeled open to eject the tape, "Mission: Help Frenzy"
The cassette nodded and skirted around the armour rattling Barricade and jogged back up the slope. The Autobot's were still watching from the bank. Most milling around in their confusion of the events presented to them. Either that or they weren't sure who to help.
Barricade gave a rough growl as he heard the sound of jet engines above them. Wearily he retreated under the underpass, bracing himself as the tape-deck advanced. He felt something tap his processors. "So you are a telepath" Barricade muttered to himself with amusement flexing his claws "My mind isn't a nice place to be, mind-reader, even the Soundwave I know recoils from the darkness in my mind."
Regardless the not painful dig at his mind became deeper and Barricade let him in, dropping his firewalls and allowing his rage, pain and the most mech-blood covered memories erupt into the front of his mind. The telepath recoiled stumbling back with a pained cry of distress as the cries of the mechs that Barricade had slaughtered rang and screamed in his head. The blue bot sank to his knees keening at the dark shadowed nothingness that filled Barricade's processor. "I told you, you wouldn't like my head" Barricade said as he prowled forward raising his talons to kill the mech that had dared to tamper with his mind.
He turned in the nick of time at the sound of heavy pede falls to lock grips with a blue, red and white mech.
"Optimus Prime" He acknowledged with a hint of fear, the brother of Megatron and the descendant of the holiest of mechs. The First Primes. In his desperation to get away from his leader's equal he pulled off a move that he had yet to perfect. He twisted his wrist grabbing the Prime's and falling backwards, using the momentum to toss the boxy mech right over his head, kicking the mech in the abdominal plates. As he hit the ground one of his wings wasn't able to move in time and was crushed by the double weight.
Barricade roared in agony, white hot pain like a supernova running over his back as the wing splintered and crushed towards his back. He shot to his pedes like he was scalded stumbling a little as his silver/blue mech fluid splattered to the tarmac. Oddly he paused staring at the energon on the road same as the mechs around him. He reached back, his talons gathering the fluid and bringing it to see with his optics. Barricade's still useful wing twitched as he watched the swirling silver streaks in the glittery blue mech-fluid.
Barricade! Frenzy's end of the bond snapped open making Barricade look up and at the ridge which his silver partner was behind. I need help!
The Shock Trooper offered the Prime a snarl before he turned and bounded up the hill.
He paused, armour flaring in outrage as a storm grey mech held his partner by the leg, the little silver hacker dangling sheepishly waving at him, the two other cassettes standing wearily behind the large grey one, a large black cannon on his other arm pointed at Frenzy's head. Barricade offered his partner congratulations in Cybertronian at the state of the beaten up, more boxy partners. Beyond the little scene the Autobots and Decepticons had engaged in skirmish.
Frenzy cackled and Barricade smirked, his energon running in small blue and silver rivers down his frame.
"You laugh at death?" the grey mech holding Frenzy demanded in that annoying English that the humans used
"I'll laugh at Unicron if given the chance" Barricade responded flexing his talons experimentally still dripping his mech-fluid. "I am a warrior, I live for death"
"Who are you mad-mech?" asked this dimension's Starscream with his screechy voice
"I'm a Shock Trooper" Barricade offered with little interest "I am the rough breeze before an acid storm"
"Surrender now or your little friend gets it" snarled the jet aiming his null ray at the dangling Frenzy
"Did you know that a Cybertronian femme will do anything to get back its Sparkling if it is in danger?" Barricade suddenly said with an evil smile
"That is not relevant" snarled the grey mech still holding his cannon at a laughing Frenzy's helm.
"The creator of a partner bot acts exactly the same." Barricade said his gun appearing out of his sub-space in a flash, a bolt of orange and blue bursting from the muzzle, aimed at the large grey mech's head.
Frenzy's sliver frame dropped to the ground, Barricade's partner performing lithe acrobatic movements as he dodged the red and white seeker's grasp, rushing towards Barricade and the safe cavity of his chest.
"Decepticon's retreat!" cried the grey mech as he saw the Autobots defeat the mechs he had brought with him. And with a parting shot he fired his fusion cannon strait at the scrambling Frenzy.
Barricade caught the movement with one of his optics as he prepared to make his own getaway. He lunged forward placing his back in between Frenzy and the purple blast. Painful warnings flashed in red across his processors his damaged wing taking the hit full force. "Warning, stasis-lock activating"
He snarled as he slumped to his knees his limbs growing weak as he fell forwards onto the tarmac, Frenzy buzzing around his head in a panic, screeching in Cybertronian at him. His Processor blocked him out as warning after warning piled up on his visual screen.
He fell forward onto his front, he tried to claw at the road and rise but his talons merely twitched
"Stasis-lock activated"
Frenzy's panicked optics faded from view and the dark silence poured in.
