Eye-Fire has been given permission by Hook to do horrible things to Mixmaster. Well, one horrible thing, but it'll do. This makes Eye-Fire Happy. ^_^ The reason horrible things are going to happen is a LCD screen installed in Eye-Fire's chest that he didn't want. This makes him Angry. D:< To this end, Eye-Fire sent out a radio message to Mixmaste to come inspect something interesting he's found. and Mixmaster appears to have taken the bait. Having taken up position in one of the buildings in his rile at mode, he now only has to wait for quack of a medic to come into sight. __________________________________ OOC: More or less private.

Mixmaster has indeed taken the bait, and is making his way slowly toward the spot where Eye-fire had asked him to meet.
Mixmaster is being a bad, bad Decepticon. Honestly, though, he has no idea why Eye-fire might desire to do something, like, oh, snipe him through the knee caps. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
So when he finally arrives where Eye-Fire had said he was going to be and Eye-Fire isn't there, he doesn't do what any good Decepticon would and hightail it right out of there. No, he transforms to his root mode and crouches down defensively, looking around for the sniper.
"Eye-Fire? You're here, yes? What is it you wanted me to see?"

There he is...
Quickly taking aim, Eye-Fire fire's two blasts aimed at seperate knees. It should be enough to disable them and also hopefully stop Mixmaster from transforming so Eye-Fire can say a few choice words.
Mixmaster's weapons won't be disabled, however. And he'd rather not take the chance that he noticed the firing position despite the silencer and flash suppressor, so Eye-Fire quickly floats away from the window and moved to another building.

Mixmaster is not a complete failure as a Decepticon, and as he falls, shock and pain drawing a startled cry, he fires from the pistol he'd wrenched from subspace. It is also highly unlikely the two shots he'd fired at random in a direction only thought to hold the position of his attacker manage to strike anything of remote importance. Like a wall.
As Mixmaster hits the ground he's using his arms to haul himself toward any type of shelter available. This is before the pain truly hits, and while he's still running mainly on sub-routines meant to keep him alive, but not necessarily in one piece. His knees are not enjoying this treatment.
In five seconds, Mixmaster will manage control of himself and stop flailing about. Hopefully, he is not shot again.

Considering the circumstances, Mixmaster's aim isn't that bad; actually striking the building that Eye-Fire fired from. And fortunately for him Eye-Fire isn't allowed to shoot Mixmaster anymore, not that he can't purposefully miss.
So another two bolts fly from a building, Eye-Fire having already moved off and now advancing on Mixmaster from a back alley, hopefully out of the Constructicon's sight.
//Oooooh Mixmaster....... I havs something to saaaay to yoooou.// Eye-Fire transmits in a sing song voice.

Mixmaster is no longer flailing about at random, but he does jump when Eye-fire's two shots come out of no where, though he does refrain from firing back. There was no sense in it when it was so unlikely he would hit anything anyway. The Constructicon clicks irritably at his situation, but he grins all the same, if a little sharply. He's realized he can't move much, not without twisting his painfully shot knees anymore than they already are. Mixmaster isn't quite ready to risk that much damage this early on. Not yet.
And besides, there is the matter of the voice in his head that needs quite badly to be dealt with.
//You wish to speak, yes? Whatever made you think that this was a particularly good idea, Little Shox, hmm? You are Eye-fire, correct? Not some funny little alternate running about in a cage like their Hook?// There's some curiosity in Mixmaster's voice, but mostly it's flat and low in some form of frustrated amusement.

//An alternate of me? An amusing possibility. How different would he be? Free? Be able to make his own choices? Not have his team mates betray him?//
Eye-Fire slowly walks out from an alley in front of Mixmaster, energy blaster pointed him.
"Of course, I'm sure you have no idea what I'm talking about. So go ahead, ask, let the malfunctioning shoddy excuse of a copy of Shockwave explain things to you." He says as he leans with his shoulder on the corner of a building.

"'Malfunctioning Excuse of a Copy of Shockwave' (//so eloquent you are, Eye-fire, yes?//) are you telling me you actually have a reason for shooting me?" Mixmaster asks as the mech comes into view. He actually is surprised. "Aren't you a strange one." This is said quite cheerfully, and followed by a shake of the chemist's head and a laugh.
"Now what have I done to you lately, eh?" Mixmaster questions aloud, laughter still in his voice, and tilts his head back toward the sky in thought with his pistol trained lazily on Eye-fire. The look towards the sky may be taken as a taunt though it is not; Mixmaster is actually wondering about this.
If the wondering is any better than taunting is left entirely to the mech with the better working legs.

"I always have reason Mixmaster. I don't do random." Eye-Fire says as he reaches out and begins scratching something into the wall opposite him.
"As for what you did to me, you were foolish enough to leave evidence. The actual crime was the betrayal of my trust, and a breach of my privacy. The evidence of both is this infernal display you've added to me." He says as he nods his head for a secound, indicating down onto his chest.

Mixmaster tilts his head at Eye-fire, and then shakes it. Hmm, this wasn't good. "And yet you're carving away at a wall. Seemingly at complete random, you really aren't so good of a liar, Eye-fire."
"And why the screen? Why would you be angry about the screen? I thought it was a fine piece of work myself, truly. Has it malfunctioned?" There's a bit of darkness to Mixmaster's voice; he is rather frustrated now. "You know, if it had malfunctioned you could have just come to me and I would have fixed it right up, no need to go along like this. Agreed?"
Mixmaster realizes that this isn't the problem. He doesn't particularly care; there's something a bit more pressing on his mind at the moment. "What about Hook?"

"The carving? Not random, I'm marking where and when I shot you. I do it when I've taken down notable prey."
"The screen, while very well made and not malfunctioning, was not asked to be put there. A betrayal of trust, Mixmaster, which may be trivial to you, but I operate on the basis that I can entrust my life to my comrades." He continues, stopping carving into the wall. Examination of it will reveal Cybertronian script stating who was wounded, when and where.

...
Well, that wasn't strange at all. Really. Not at all. Still, Mixmaster had seen stranger. "Well, I suppose I should be honored, yes?" He said softly, watching Eye-fire with dim optics, before turning to look at his knees.
"The screen is why you shot me, though, yes? The screen? And when it's not even malfunctioning? That seems a bit...much, Little Shox, do you agree? Even for a perceived betrayal like you claim. Someone will come looking for me after awhile if you do kill me, they will, and you're method of attack isn't exactly inconspicuous, no." Mixmaster scowls at his legs pointedly, still not looking at Eye-fire. There is a small bit of energon now staining the untarnished metal around one of the entry wounds. It's annoying.

"I never said I was going to kill you. You never tried to kill me, so I have no reason to. In fact, I'm going to be the one to take you back to the med bay."
"And no, the screen itself isn't the only reason I shot you, though they do relate to each other. Maybe I'll explain after you've been fixed. Lower you weapon and I'll drag you back."
Eye-Fire certainly isn't going to lower his blaster first, of that Mixmaster can be sure.

"You define the phrase 'makes sense', has anyone ever told you that, Eye-fire?" Mixmaster asks dryly, shifting a bit farther away from the sniper and inevitably wincing as sharp pinpricks of pain shoot through his legs and up through his midsection.
"And why, do tell, do you think I'd lower my weapon against a mechanism I already know has not only the better aim but also is in the better condition? You've already shot me once, Little Shox." And tricked him once, which, while admirable, was also not much reason to trust him.
Needless to say, Mixmaster does not lower his weapon.

"Because if you don't I'll shoot it out of your hand. I can be reasonably sure that I won't harm you, but the weapon might explode, go off in your face or any number of other less than satisfactory things." HE says, ignoring Mixmaster's other remark.
"Now, are you going to put down that gun or am I going to have to reduce it to shrapnel?"
