Hellbender tunnels into the wall going thataway, while Nightbeat's shots scorch along his armored tail. The earth he's churning begins to muffle Jazz's acoustic assault giving his poor, battered audio sensors a chance to stop perpetually rebooting--
About the time he breaks through into another tunnel. His grinders freewheel and howl, suddenly relieved of their load. Hellbender slews his head from side to side. Where is he? Where are the Autobots? His tremorsense and audials are still off line, though counting up through their POST routines; his visual sensors have just... come.... up!
A light shines brightly at him, and Hellbender swings his grinders out and lunges forward--Jazz--
No, it's not the blinding strobe-o-scope Jazz deployed, though it's getting annoyingly bright--
"Oh, slag!"
Tomorrow's newspapers and tonight's television news will have another disaster to add to the mysterious gas explosion: the wreck of the 3:15 Luciano Street subway, and the collapse of several subway tunnels.
---- OOC: There's a subway wreck and derailment between you and Hellbender's front end. The tunnel between you and Hellbender's aft end just collapsed from the shock of the collision; it wasn't what you'd call shored up. There are people in the subway wreck in dire need of rescuing. Hellbender will be out-of-thread after this, most likely, so he's skippable.

Upon hearing the sickening crunch and the cacophony of screams that accompany the train crash, Nightbeat utters a word that shall not be transcribed.
"Jazz, are you alright?" he calls, turning his audio sensors back up and sparing a glance for the other Porsche before he hurries away in the direction Hellbender went. "I think some civilians just got caught in our crossfire."

Somehow in the impact and mess of what happened, Jazz got thrown down the tracks a bit. That knocked his sensory-overload-o-matic. He stumbles up, shaking his head a bit as his own systems reboot. "Scrap... Hope that either knocked Hellbender out, or sent him packing. We were doing bad enough on our own..." he says, folding his door wings up again - rather painfully, some sparks shooting out as he does so.
"Either way, let's get to work. Out of the frying pan and into the fire..."

"At least we know who was behind those arsons, now. And he's got a trainwreck to add to his rap sheet." Jazz witnessed it, and he's a police officer.
OOC: Wrap?

"Got that right, man" Jazz adds, starting on pulling away some of the rubble. He's got some reservations about what they did - after all, goods transport trains don't run on subway rails, right? They should have expected this, but at least Hellbender's been stopped.
That's worth it, right?
OOC: Wrappity wrap!
