Fortunately Skystrike the common sense not to get in anyone's way at the moment. Especially when she'd just walked out from the medbay a few minutes earlier and will undoubtedly have some annoyed medics to find if she should be returning so quickly.
Thus, whilst keeping a wary eye on the unruly hallway blockers, the seeker quietly sneaks off to find a quieter corner of the base to repaint herself.
OOC: Out of thread unless stopped.

Hellbender suddenly finds himself hugging a tank as Blitzwing's rapid change catches him by surprise. He doesn't have time to kick himself for forgetting Blitzwing's rapid change ability before said tank is plowing down the hall with him--toward the wall at the bend in the corridor.
Hellbender snarls and digs his feet into the floor, trying to brace against Blitzwing's treads. He's only partially successful; the flooring cracks under the pressure and he digs a grove in the floor as the triple-changer forces him back to the wall. Against the wall, Hellbender braces himself and pushes back against Blitzwing.
"Ah can do this all day, Blitzer," Hellbender says, a wicked grin on his face.

"Well, it seems we do have something in common." Blitzwing says, straining his engine to try and crush Hellbender against the wall.
Seeing that Hellbender has managed to brace himself properly, therby foiling Blitzwings charge, He suddenly backs up again, hoping to catch Hellbender by surprise before ramming him again once he has enough distance.

Blitzwing cleverly foils Hellbender's imitation of a supporting pylon by backing up--but this time, Hellbender isn't caught flatfooted. He just hangs on, and gets dragged along with. When Blitzwing stops to shift gears, Hellbender tries to clamber on top of the tank, straddling the gun, and yank at Blitzwing's turret rim. Maybe he can pop the whole turret off... unlikely.
Hellbender, let it be said again, is heavy.

Blitzwing has been in this situation before, or at least one that was very much like it. There he ended up shooting another Decepticon, and here he might as well.
Hellbender doesn't succeed in doing much other than beding some metal, but it hurts like the dickens and Blitzwing would rather have it stop before Hellbender actually breaks something. Transforming into robot mode, Blitzwing tries to punch Hellbender really, really hard in the jaw, having exhausted most other options.

Hellbender isn't surprised by Blitzwing's rapid change back to robot mode, and springs back in time to avoid sprawling at the triple-changers feet. He doesn't manage to duck the punch, though.
C-CLANG! The entire corridor rings as Blitzwing's fist hits Hellbender's face, and the back of the Hellbender's head bounces off the wall.
Hellbender shakes his head twice and bulls forward, swinging with both fists in short, vicious punches at Blitzwing's mid-section.

Blitzwing catches both punches square in his gut, leaving him the equivalant of winded as he stumbles back under the force of the blows. Straightening back up, Blitzwing aggian fire's his foot thrusters, this time to gain a little ground on Hellbender before he draws Electron Scimitar, deciding that this farce has gone on long enough.
"Your a fair fist fighter, freak , but how well will you stand agianst my blade?" Blitzwing asks as he spins the blade in his hand before slashing for Hellebenders chest.

"'Freak'? Slippin' in your own oil there, Mr. Tank-that-Flies," Hellbender growls.
His cutters spin up as Blitzwing draws his scimitar; in worm-form, they're the cutters on his boring heads--in robot mode, they form a set of toothy grinding wheels set along the outer sides of his elbows and forearms. In that position, they're designed to chew up blades, electro-whips, tentacles, grappling lines, arms and any other object that gets caught against them. When activated, they also make for a brutal follow-through when Hellbender throws a punch, and his elbow-thrusts are truly nasty.
"Ah dunno, new one on me. You tell me." Hellbender blocks Blitzwing's cut at his torso with one forearm, cutters whirling....

Blitzwings Electron Scimitar is an interesting weapon, its blade made of energy converted from Energon and kept coherent by a forcefield that also holds its shape. When the blade hits an object, the forcefield opens up along the edge of the blade that struck, allowing energy to escape, and by having the forcefield only stay open for millisecounds at a time the blade cuts instead of explodes, as would happen if it stayed open for too long.
One of the things this means is that Blitzwing's Scimtars blade is immune to bieng damaged in anyway, in this case by the rock grinders, and short of destroying the handle (And most likely Blitzwings hand) is invulnerable. Another thing which is unique to facing Hellbender is that the rock grinders fast spinning motion with the uneven "teeth" on them mean that the blade bounces off them too much for the forcefield to properly open and actually damage anything.
Narrowing his eyes behind his visor as he realises this attack is going nowhere, Blitzwing pulls back his arm and thrusts for Hellbenders chest agian, hoping that even if blocked the blade might slip over Hellbenders arm and into his chest.

If Hellbender were an Earth pop culture junkie, he might wisecrack about Blitzwing's 'light saber'; if he were human, he'd sarcastically wonder if the triple-changer was compensating for something with his light saber. However, Hellbender is neither, so his response is forceful and to the point--
He lunges forward, following the sword's withdrawal, slamming an elbow and viciously whirling grinders into the opening in Blitzwing's guard thus revealed--
Hellbender grimaces with pain as the sword's point pierces his shoulder armor--an acceptable trade for the blow he's trying to land...

Blitzwing curses himself as he sees the deadly elbow comming towards him, his scimitar too far along its path to bring back to deflect the blow. His only chance to avoid eating grinder is to bring up his other arm as a shield. The grinders bite deep and painfully into his forearm, utterly ripping the armour off and chewing some of the structure beneath it into metal dust.
Enraged by his injury, Blitzwing registers he hit and pushes his entire bodyweight into continuing the stab, trying to pierce armour and reach exposed circuitry below. As he pushes his attack, Blitzwing looses a fell roar. Things have progressed from "Showing the kid who's boss" to "Feasting on his entrails."

"What are you two doing?"
There are Seekers that need to be put back together. There are Seekers that need to be either found or lost very thoroughly.
THERE ARE TWO IDIOTS FIGHTING IN THE HALLWAYS.
"We have training rooms," Hook hisses, somehow managing to add 'you utter incompetents' without actually saying the words.

Hellbender reverses and falls back, letting Blitzwing's sword slice its way out of his shoulder--the wound is ugly, lopping off a section of armor, but armor is all that is lost. Better that than losing his head. Again.
About that time the voice of Hook echoes through the hall.
"Uh-oh," Hellbender mutters; he keeps backing away from Blitzwing. Just in case Blitzwing is too berserk to notice, Hellbender brings his heavy laser on-line. A brilliant violet light smoulders deep in the barrel of his shoulder-mounted weapon, clearly visible to anyone looking down its muzzle... like Blitzwing.
"Stand down, quick!" he tells Blitzwing.

Scrap, its Hook. Blitzwing normally wouldn't care, but this Hook is thier best surgeon and high command, so he doesn't want to anger the one who will be fixing him up or giving him orders any further. He sees the glowing laser, but doesn't let that bother him, having looked down the barrel of more guns than can be in any way healthy.
Blitzwing steps back into a gaurded stance, blade held tilted forward with one slightly out stretched arm with the other held out alongside him, his entire body tilted towards Hellbender. Suddenly spinning his scimitar in an elaborate flourish, Blitzwing deactivates it, stowing it in the same motion. Then he steps forward towards Hellbender, one hand held out to shake as if this had been a freindly sparing match. Hellbender had better take that hand if he wants to get of this.
"Traning rooms are for those afraid to get hurt, Hook. We aren't." He says, his gaze cemented to Hellbenders eyes.

"Admitting that you're both utter and complete morons without redeeming social value is not helpful to your continued pleasant existence, Blitzwing," Hook says.
