Ghost halts his retreat back down the tower to look at the drones advancing on the tower. He'd rather not reach the bottom and suddenly find himself surrounded.
As the looks, he spots one drone advancing faster than the others, and doing so in a decidedly skulky manner. If the Transformers from Barricades reality can change vehicle mode easily, why not biped mode as well? Not having much time to decide, Ghost transforms into his rifle mode again, full size to save time and fires 2 shots at the lead drone, hoping its Barricade.

Barricade notes the flash of rifle fire at about the same time as he notes the searing lances of pain than punch right through his torso, one high near the shoulder, one lower - and had that shot been just a few inches closer to center, the game would have been all over.
Spotted, but that goes both ways, and even as he is tumbling to the ground, his hand clutching over the torso shot, his blaster configures and swings up in line with that dark blurr he can now make out against the shadows, where those shots had originated, peppering in a field around that shadowed position and calling attention to the spot for all the drones to give him an assist.
If the drones don't catch up to him and try to take him out, themselves.

Well, Ghost has spotted Barricade, a normal drone shouldn't have survived that, and wounded him. A point to him, he supposes. He doesn't suppose about it too much though, as a literal hail of gunfire comes into his position from the drones.
Most of it misses, due to Ghosts thin forward profile in rifle mode, but one drone off to the one side strikes him twice in his stock, sending him spinning like a top away from the tower. Unable to stop his spin, he shuts down his antigravs before they burn out, and hurtles for the ground as the world becomes one big blur.
Transforming just before he strikes the ground, he hits it hard and fast, plowing into the spiky and broken ground before halting himself. His optics and other sensors scrambled by the fall, he groggily gets up and takes off at an awkward run. He's not going to win in a fight against Barricade and a horde of drones backing him up.

Barricade catches sight of something spinning off into the darkness a couple of streets over. Well, at least he isn't the only one wounded. That's something.
Against his better judgement, he stumbles off in that direction, heading for where Eye-Fire went down at. He should be seeking cover, finding someplace fortified to look to his own injuries, but that lower wound, the one that had just narrowly missed his core, that one is too serious for anything that he can do for it.
He needs to see if he can end this quickly and win before he goes offline. That, of course, depends upon if he manages to catch up with Eye-Fire before Eye-Fire can find cover of his own.
Something moves off to his right as he shuffle-pelts along. A drone. Barricade's blaster swings up and snaps off some shots as he continues. Good thing that there are no friendlies in this match; barricade has been reduced to firing at anything that moves now.

Gunfire, though not aimed at him, either means Barricade has been found out or he's randomly shooting up scenery or drones. It doesn't matter, as Ghost stumbles into a ruined building, leaning heavily on the wall for support before he sets off agian.
The wound in his legs is slowing him, but he just needs to find someplace to hide, the taller the better.

Maybe a little of both.
Barricade has his own troubles with drones now swarming toward the local area - it's where the action is, after all - and with his survival instincts kicked into full gear, Barricade is firing at the occassional random bit of scenery. Provided that scenery is moving for some reason, like having a drone crash into it, or being hit by one of the drones' shots.
It really is a very, very good thing that Eye-Fire had not been in a perfect position to take a carefully calculated sniper shot. Or that he wasn't totally familiar with Barricade's internal structures. Whichever of the two happenstances that it had been that had prevented that second shot from shattering Barricade's core, that is. Perhaps running against such a skilled sniper had not been one of Barricade's more... stunningly brilliant ideas.
If only Frenzy were here to run interference and skulk. Some dim thought surfaces that twinges a hint of fear through the infiltrator as he ponders his... he won't call it "dependance", but his... perhaps "reliance" would be less... Okay, his dependance upon Frenzy.
He hopes to the Allspark that Wreckage never sees the footage of this fight.
// Come out, come out wherever you are... // he sing-songs upon the open shortwave of the sim room. His voice is more than half growl from feral rage and pain, making that sing-songy quality rather...
Creepy. Perhaps just a little not-quite-sane, even.
Now, where did that slagging little guttersnipe slink off to? His weapon swings around to one side and he snaps off a shot, wounding a drone as he ducks down a jagged-peak shaded alley and crouches amidst the trash and detrius there, watching everything with dimmed crimson optics.

Ghost ignores Barricades transmission, instead focusing on enlarging a rent in a wall.
Standing back to give his handiwork a quick once over, Ghost transforms into his smallest form and floats into the rent and down into the hole he scooped out with his hands, barrel pointing up.
He plans on waiting for Barricade to pass, the noise that will accompany his passing tipping Ghost off and then setting out after the hunter turned prey. Should Barricade find his hidey hole, he's going to get a face full of blaster.

Perhaps down here? Barricade had thought he'd seen a shadow sliking off in this direction, but it could have been a drone, wounded by either he or Eye-Fire, and crawling off to expire. Only one way to find out.
// Ravage got your vocal processor? // he giggles cheerfully as he stalks as silently as he is able down a narrow alleyway, sensors upped to their max sensitivity for the least little movement.
