Fortune favors the bold, Fleetwind's always believed, and so far the belief has stood him in good stead. However, while many would claim he often crosses the line between bravery and stupidity, even Fleetwind has his limits, and fighting on the ground, out of his element, against the numbers he had reason to suspect? Yeah, that'd be one of those limits.
So, after ducking under Dead End, Fleetwind spins into the air. He's about to transform to lead Prime and whoever else would follow on a merry chase back, when suddenly...

...he is slammed into about the mid-section by none other than Fleetwind!
The aerial tackle doesn't last long as the two separate and draw away, both circling each other this way, then that, up, then down, looking for weaknesses in the other Seeker's form.

"So you're the coward, huh?" Fleetwind grins as he darts forward in a feint, testing the other Seeker's defenses.

Fleetwind's reflexes proves as good as his double's. When the other Seeker darts forward, he's ready, returning fire with a blast that misses, but serves to keep distance open.
"I'm the one who survives," he answers his mirror grimly.

White wings branded with blood slice through the air. The guns remain silent as he closes on the battling yellow peacocks. Identical in form, and he turns in a wide circle around them, patient until he knows which one is the current target and which one is not yet the target.

In jet mode, a Starscream enters the fray. Witnessing the two Fleetwinds, he has an idea. He issues some orders to 'his' Fleetwind over broadband.
Those orders delivered, he then announces clearly for all to hear.
"Fleetwind, it is far past time for our 'alliance' with the insane Prime to end! Break off and destroy these pathetic Autobots!"
Assuming Fleetwind acknowledges on radio, Starscream is going to attack the one that doesn't comply with his orders.

Where this is a Harrier, a bitty little Valkyrie cannot be far away. They go together like barbed wire and electricity. His wings hum and tremble as the wind passes over them.
My oh my.
This is a nice spread, isn't it?

Fleetwind, already in robot mode, salutes Starscream.
"As you command, my liege," he replies, the faint grin on his face perhaps betraying that he is not really the Seeker who's supposed to be allied with the others, anyway.
And with that, he turns his attention away from his twin and lowers his arms towards Slingshot, firing away.

Fleetwind's optics flicker in surprise as Starscream shows up, and he even hesitates, checking his radio...
...that hesitation alone should tell this Starscream who's who, but if that wasn't enough, Fleetwind's expression, which goes briefly through panicked and then switches to angered, should be enough.
Oh, and the fact that he's now firing at Starscream before diving a bit further down in the sky.
Of course, the orders from this Starscream may well be the only excuse the other two need to treat both Fleetwinds as enemies...

Well, that solves the dilemma of which Fleetwind to shoot at.
Slingshot jinks and twists away from the pastel jet's shots, but laser blasts still blacken his white fuselage.
His mortars begin to fire almost as soon as Fleetwind started shooting. He's less careful in his aim than the pastel jet might be, as he's spraying to cover Fleetwing and Starscream.
And that other Fleetwind keeps getting in the way.

Starscream dives after the fleeing Fleetwind, catching a few blasts to his fuselage from his pursuant.
However, it's when Slingshot starts firing at him that Starscream breaks away. "Must I do everything?!" He turns towards Slingshot, aggressively firing at the Aerialbot.

Skyblast is so very torn. He hates to see Slingshot injured - every injury is a chance that nasty old Perceptor will fix them and cut out their souls and make them dead like Thundercracker. Starscream is a dangerous foe, despite his foolish thoughts.
On the other hand, Slingshot is like a fine honed razor, and he deserves his chance to sing.
Time to hassle the passel of pastel polyhedra.
He extrudes his wingblades and darts after the Fleetwind that saluted, but if he gets the two confused, well... he won't cry.

Fleetwind hisses in pain as Slingshot's motors rain across his shoulders, and in response he curls up, cuts anti-gravs, and quickly drops beneath the line of fire.
He's just straightened out to meet his oncoming double when wing-bladed Skyblast passes him from behind. He jinks forward, but it's neither far nor fast enough, and a thin line is sliced in his armor across his back as he gives a little cry of pain. He drops further, leaning back as though in a floating lounge chair, reaches up, and fires once more at both Autobots and his own double.
Oh, but wait. He's supposed to be in character, too, isn't he?
"Erm, forgive me, my lord," he addresses Starscream. "I'll have the situation corrected in a moment!"

Fleetwind has Starscream (fragging Starscream!) above him, firing down. He has himself below, firing up. He has Slingshot , to one side, just generally firing. Skyblast, fortunately, has chosen to engage the other Fleetwind blade to blade, meaning he at least doesn't have to deal with that just now, but it's still a bad position to be in, and he takes painful shots from three directions for his trouble.
He darts out and away, opening the distance between both Starscream and his other self, while he's moving more or less 'sideways' relative to Slingshot. Then, one arm pointed at Starscream, one pointed at the other yellow Seeker, he fires, shouting, "Slingshot! Skyblast! These two are your Starscream and Fleetwind! Don't let them fool you!"

This is giving Slingshot a node-ache. 'Destroy our erstwhile allies!' 'No, it's a trick, don't let them fool you!' Blah-de-blah-de-yak. Kill the ones who were shooting at him. Then handle the extra yellow Seeker.
Slingshot corkscrews and slides through Starscream's fire, taking a few more hits as he goes. He shifts his firing pattern, though, concentrating solely on Starscream.
Hopefully the extra yellow jet is smart enough to get out of the way.
