Yes! Another hit! Sky-byte frowns briefly as he finally halts his climb as the acceleration gained from his shark mode wears off. Soon enough he begins to fall again and he transforms. Why should be be elated at the prospect of a little hit? He's the leader of armies of Predacons (or, used to be) and second command only to Megatron! He's beaten down scrawny Autobots like this ten times over! So what's stopping him now? Focus. If he ends up returning to those Decepticons not only looking like he's been tossed around like a rag doll by a couple Autobots but actually beaten by them, he'd never hear the end of it. And Starscream, the burn that accompanies that name. This Autobot will have to go down.
He dodges the oddly quiet bot's blasts with a sharp barrel roll to the left and lunges forward, whipping towards the Autobot, looking as if he's aiming for another bite attack. Not this time though, this time it's merely a feint. See if the Autobot can catch on.

Bumblebee's a little frazzled from the battle. He fired a few blasts at Sky-Byte as he descended once more. When he looked like he was going to bite, Bumblebee leaped and tumbled out of the way. Recovering from the tumble quickly, Bumblebee continued to fight.

The other blasts are harder to avoid as he gets closer to the yellow mech. One of them grazes with a sharp, burning sting against his side. As soon as the Autobot jumps out of the way, Sky-byte whips back around, hoping for a heavy hit with his tail (which is what makes up his Anchor Arm in robot mode).
Now this is exciting! Nothing but the rush of battle and the sound of gun-fire and screeching metal. What Sky-byte doesn't notice in all this mayhem is his self-appointed Predacon minion being confronted by a practically equally small Autobot.
"So Autobot!" He transforms and draws back his arm. "As strange as you look, being Cybertronian, do you not bleed the same as us?" Argh, very bad use of Shakespeare, but the old playwright should be understanding. Anchor Arm spinning, he brings it back down only make a sweeping kick towards the yellow mech.

Ugh, even Bumblebee's extensive research in earth culture wasn't enough to comprehend Sky-Byte's butchering of The Bard. Sadly, Bumblebee could only think of witty repartee for his opponent. Which probably suits the overly verbose Predacon to a 'T'. As the Anchor Arm swings once again, he tries to block.. only to find that he's been swept to the ground. Bumblebee quickly curled back up as he transformed again. The Camaro backs up, hoping to knock back Sky-Byte. If that works, he's going to accelerate forward pretty quickly too.

What a dinged up, rusty Earth car. Honestly, do Autobots have a sense of style on the street any longer? Sky-byte's pondering is cut short as he's knocked backwards by the Camaro in reverse. Looks like Shakespeare's had his vengeance. Sky-byte owes him a couple more readings anyways, that is, if he gets out of this battle in one piece.
The mesa under him suddenly shakes and shudders. If he had looked in the right direction, he might have seen the awesome might of Omega Supreme in action.
// No! I can handle this battle. Just. Fine. // Sky-byte growls over Decepticon broadband. He's not going to show any weakness to these infuriating cars. Not now! Stupid, scrawny, yellow Autobot that's making him look horrible. He'd show them all!
Scrabbling back up off the ground, Sky-byte lets loose one more barrage of his laser as the Autobot begins accelerating forward instead. What, is the yellow bot fleeing now?

Demolishor recognizes that maneuver; Hot Shot's used it to leave comedic tire marks on his face a number of times. He continues charging upwards from behind Sky-byte, already firing his finger guns at the little yellow car.
//Yeah, but you aren't handling it well. Move.// Once he's close enough to not hit Sky-byte by accident (as if he needs more enemies), he braces himself against the rocks and continues firing. If the nudist Autobot does charge, he'll be ready to rip his engine out.

Dust and rocks flew up from the blasts of Sky-Byte and Demolishor as they blast the ground.. Bumblebee drove as evasively as he could to avoid the combined firepower. Finally, one of the shots connected, and the camaro started tumbling on its side on its side until it vanished behind a particularly large dust cloud.
After a moment, something emerged from the shroud. Unfortunately, it was a missile, aimed at Demolishor! Bumblebee ran through in robot mode shortly after, charging for Sky-Byte.

"I told you! I can handle this perfectly fine myself," growls Sky-byte, hackles raising if he had any. He stops his laser blast to glare pointedly in Demolisher's direction. "Look! You're just raising up even more dust now, how are we going to find him in this mess?"
Opps, looks like they won't have to do any finding. Sky-byte doesn't move and instead reaches out to grab the Autobot as the yellow mech charges forward through the dust. Using his height and strength, he begins pushing back, trying to toss the Autobot to the ground.

Skystrike swooped down, letting gravity take its hold on her before straightening out once more. She’d spotted Demolisher, which meant Sky-byte was probably close by.
“Sky-byte!” She shouted as she streaked by overhead, spotting the glimpse of familiar blue and white amongst the unsettled dust.

Demolishor grumbled, almost wishing he had eyeballs to roll. "Looks like he found you!"
A missile went streaking past his shoulder, barely missing his spikes, and for a moment Demolishor wondered when little mechs got such big guns. Then the Autobot slammed into Sky-Byte and Demolishor went back to charging the both of them.
The tank tried to grab Bumblebee around the waist from the other side and pull him off Sky-byte so they could both get to beating him.

Bumblebee was busy being completely outclassed by Sky-Byte's strength, when Demolishor snuck up behind him. No fair!
However, being removed by Demolishor freed Bumblebee's legs. He tried several times to strike Sky-Byte's head with his feet. Beyond that, he was quite helpless in Demolishor's grasp.

"If you want him so much, you can have him!" snarls Sky-byte letting go of his hold on Bee and shaking off whatever hold the yellow bot might have on him. Actually, it isn't really shaken off, more like the bot lets him go and bats him quite effectively away with his legs. One connects quite solidly against his damaged shoulder. He fights back a yelp and glares. "We'll finish a real battle later, how would you like that, Autobot?"
With a jump, Sky-byte transforms, the top of his head throwing off a few sparks as he whips away towards Skystrike. "Alright, I have the coordinates. Let's go."
Okay, now to avoid the scary looking Omega Supreme and get to those supplies! Easier said than done. Well, at least he had some sort of cover fire.

Wedge rolls his way towards the mesa as fast as his treads can take him. It doesn't take him long to realize the utter confusion and chaos that dotted all around the area. Alright, who's he looking for? One Autobot in need of assistance against Deceptions. Wedge spots one Autobot fighting against a bunch of Decepticons, but...the giant guy doesn't look like he is in desperate need of assistance.
He scans around some more. There! Near the top of the mesa. Wedge transforms and begins running up the now worn and pock-marked road, edgily avoiding any large gouges or holes in the rock. As he gets closer he can see a yellow mech in the midst of being grabbed by a larger blockier one. There's a flick of blue in his vision and Wedge's optics widen at the sight of something fish-like gliding through the air near a jet. Wah? Sky-byte? But by the time he tries to get a better look, the two figures are but dots.
Okay, okay, concentrate. So...which one here is the Autobot and which one here the Decepticon? A flash purple on the blockier one's chest brings a grin to his face. Alright, one Decepticon locked on and identified. He speeds up his stride, trying to bring as much momentum as possible to his charge. Left shoulder thrust! And if he aims this right, this should jam quite painfully into the back of the Decepticon's shoulder. If Wedge is lucky, that means the Decepticon might drop his captive.

Just shoot the Autobot and be done with it. Always worked for Skystrike and Demolisher had those terribly convenient finger guns.
The blue jet snorted to herself and circled back in time to catch Sky-byte transforming and flying towards her. Without another glance back at the fight, she just thrums in acknowledgment and lets the sky shark take the lead.

Oh, thanks a lot, Demolishor loves being left behind to fight when he was the one coming to the rescue in the first place.
The tank kept a hold on Bumblebee, trying to carry him over far enough to where he could slam him into the cliff wall and then shoot him from there. He wouldn't have such big guns to fire once his arms were broken.
"Not so big, are you?" he grunted as he tried to keep Bumblebee's feet off the ground. "Just a little wiggly scrap!"
But then something large and painful came shooting into his shoulder joint and he tumbled forward with the yellow Autobot below him.
