The Killzone
As expected, the end result of the 2 attacks were not beneficial for either Orpheus or Rampage. The Predacon's attack hit first, slicing deeply into the Warrior's shoulder, not quite reaching it's target of the opposite hip, but still leaving a huge gash in the upper body of Orpheus, causing more fluids to leak out.
No shout of pain was forthcoming on this occasion however, only a wince, not that it hurt any less, but Orpheus was completely focused on sticking his blade into Rampage, something that he succeded in doing, his blade skewering the Predacon's torso at an angle from his left side to right, the entire blade disapearing into Rampage.
With both Orpheus and Rampage locked together, each with their weapon buried in the others body, the fight was beginning to take it's toll on the young Autobot, no more was he offering up comments to his opponent, now he was concentrating on getting out of this still functioning.
Elsewhere, among the fallen and injured, Slingshot was assessing the damage he'd recieved from Dreadwind. After getting hit and spiralling towards the battlefield, the VTOL jet only just managed to pull himself out of his nosedive in time, levelling out just enough so he could transform in the air and hit the ground in robot mode. Unfortunately, the speed at which he was moving at resulted in him hitting the ground feet first before shooting forward head first, rolling along the ground until his path was halted by a broken wall rather abruptly.
Now sitting on the same broken wall, Slingshot was thankful for the fact that nobody had seen his rather undignified landing, and realised that his next destination was back behind the Maximus Line for repairs. Looking up, he saw something smoldering flying directly towards him. Thinking it was one of the 2 Decepticons coming back for more, Slingshot pulled his neutron rifle out of subspace and aimed it at the incoming jet, only an incoming commlink message stopped him from pulling the trigger.
"Hey 'Shot, you OK?" Fireflight asked, smoldering because he got caught in the blast from his own firefog missiles that hit Darkwing, and still flying directly at his fellow Aerialbot. "Oh yeah, I'm great" Slingshot replied, sarcasm clearly evident in his voice "What do you think you're doing, I almost shot you out the sky" He continued, sarcasm being replaced by annoyance "And what are you still doing flying towards me, pull up, PULL UP!!" Slingshot shouted while dropping to the ground as Fireflight flew directly over his head, ridiculously close to the ground.
"Oh you know.." Fireflight replied as he ascended once more "..Just saving you from getting blown to pieces" the Aerialbot Scout smartly replied "As if, I planned this to act as a decoy so you could get a shot off, as always, my plan worked to perfection" Slingshot replied, as sure of himself as always "Anyway, you better get up to the frontlines and help out our fearless leader, I'm heading back for some repairs, I'll meet up with you guys a bit later"
Fireflight gave a quick chuckle and agreed, with going to help Silverbolt, not with Slingshot's 'Plan' working, before jetting off to link up with the rest of the Autobot forces, Slingshot slowly got to his feet and began to make his way back towards the Autobot line, limping slightly, cursing his landing.

Skies Over The Killzone
Silverbolt smiled as he heard the shouts of Starscream in response to his attack, which unfortunately didn't hit it's target. As the Seeker Commander turned and ran effectively, Silverbolt prepared to follow, but was cut off by his second in command "Leave him to me Sir, I've seen a tactic similar to this before in my studies" Skydive commed, quickly descending after his target. Silverbolt let him be, he knew how good Skydive was, and didn't doubt for a second that he had seen something like this in his research, besides, the Aerialbot Commander's jet form wasn't exactly the most manuverable in tight spaces, whereas Skydive was made for this kind of fight.
Air Raid was still grinning as he made his way through the Decepticon aerial forces, waiting for Quantum to come after him, but it seemed as though he'd caught the attentions of another Decpeticon flyer already. "How popluar am I?" Air Raid chuckled to himself as Blast-Off's attack missed him by the smallest of margins, if it had hit, then the Aerialbot probably wouldn't have been smiling.
Banking right to try and come around, Air Raid opened up a commlink to Skywatch, hoping the Airspace Control 'Bot had got himself someplace safe after getting attacked. "Yo, Skywatch, are you setup yet? If you are, I'd appreciate some help dealing with my 2 Decepticon admirers, pick whichever one you want and take a shot, or 70, Air Raid out"
