Ruins of the Crystal City

"Slaggit!"

Roadblock's vehicle shell slammed on its brakes and it skidded to a noisy halt. Meanwhile, the inner robot aboard the purple and black wind cruiser wheeled about to plot a new course. This ain't goin' accordin' ta plan, is it? Well, I don't give a damn. Here or there, we're killin' some Autobots. The vehicle shell turned on its eight spiked tires and rumbled off at top speed in the direction from whence it came not long ago. The wind cruiser shot head of it, carrying Roadblock's inner robot form toward the Tagan Heights at high speed. He opened a comm channel to Clench.

>>"Figger the new plan's ta hit 'em on our own turf. Don't really care, myself. Dead Autobots are dead Autobots, whether they're dead in the Heights or Uraya. See ya on the battlefield, boss."<<

Meanwhile, Weirdwolf was more than a little dismayed to see the Dauntless tumble and plummet toward the edge of the horizon. Transit back to the Tagan Heights wouldn't be quite so easy for him as it was for Roadblock, but nonetheless he would be able to employ one of the Decepticons' chief advantages over the Autobots - robot mode flight. He transformed from beast mode to robot mode and took to the air, making a beeline for the Heights.

"Brothers come! Quarry ours landed in our own den has!"

Outskirts of the Crystal City

"Aside the Autobots somehow recovering even partial manouverity of their shuttle?" Clench smirked sarcastically to Mindwipe as he transformed into robot mode and launched himself to the air to gain greater speed in order to be there when the Dauntless was to crash into the border regions of Tagan Heights. "Do tell me."

Just as he finished his sentenced, Clench's communicator picked up a message from Roadblock, which he quickly replied to. >>"LSC slaggers got enough maneuvarability to control their crash. But no matter. Couldn't agree with you more. This could even give us an opportinity to crush them in one sweep with reinforcements within few kliks away. Good hunting.""<<

Selecting a flightpath crossing over the position of the Longshot, Clench activated a return subroutine of the gunship through remote link, activating the ship's autopilot in order to return it back to Tagan Heights starport. After all, there was no sense left such a valuable asset to rust in the Uraya wastelands.

To make sure his team would be up to date with change of events, Clench sent out another transmission on broad frequency. >>"Everyone! The enemy ship trajectory points out that its crash course will take it to Tagan Heights. Activate your flight protocols and pursue it."<<

Grudgingly the old commando opened one more comm-link after finishing the message sent to his team. >>"Clench to Thunderwing. The Autobot shuttle has been crippled but they maintained some maneuverability. Projected crash course takes them to borderlands of Tagan Heights. While I admit initial failure of forcing the enemy ship down to Uraya this opens up an opportunity to outnumber the LSC and strike against them while they are vulnerable. I am requesting reinforcements to coordinates hardcoded into this message."<<

Uraya

Shrike couldn't help but be disappointed that the Autobot craft her team had worked so hard on crashing isn't going to crash where planned.
Primary mission failed.
She thought bitterly to herself.

Spotting the Long Shot flying away, she figures the plan to retreat isn't in going to happen.
Along with the Long Shot she sees her comrades flying towards Tagan under their own power.

With a slight bend to her legs she propels herself skywards, and changes her thruster's angle to put her in a course to meet up with the rest of the Squad.
Instead of being out on her own, perhaps this time she can reinforce the main assault group to put more weight in the hammer when it comes down on the Autobots in Tagan.
Yes. Clench's team is the Hammer, And the forces of Tagan the anvil! The Autobots are there to be crushed in between them!
