Lugnut might have been laying face down in the mud, but he could still hear the Junkion. That last comment was finally enough to make him fume, several more bubbles rising to the surface before the swamp water around him started boiling, seemingly from rage.
Except that it was not Lugnut's anger, oh no. It was the heat of his weapon systems being activated. Before long several hatches on Lugnut's back opened, revealing rows upon of rows of tiny missile launchers, which began firing with the full fury of the glorious Megatron, though Lugnut could never match the accuracy of his all knowing Master. But it still fired with the full fury of Megatron!

Slowly, Dai-Janku stops walking, as the bubbling grows louder behind him, and then the sound of missiles launching. He turns a little -too- late, and is hit with a small cluster, the explosions knocking him back a good distance, tumbling through the dirt, bits of armor falling off as it does with his race, but he is not fazed, staggering back up.
"Pfah! That's the most pathetic Macross Missile Massacre I've ever seen!"

The Junkion may have gone unfazed, but most of the trees were now burning brightly, the fire reflected in the swamp water, but what was worse was that Lugnut was nowhere in sight.
The Megatron loyalist had been blasted back by the missiles and through a few trees, groaning as he was finally free of the swampwater, trying to move up, shaking his head to clear it off the filthy swamp-muck...And that's when he saw it: His legs! Oh, Megatron be praised!
He knew that he did not have long before the Junkion came back, so he quickly grabbed his legs, trying to see which one went where before popping them back into their joints, hoping that his repair systems would have them repaired as soon as possible. He still had no idea where his other arm was, but that was alright: He only needed one to make that Junkion pay for his crimes against the will of Megatron!

And Dai-Janku's mocking declaration is met with...no Lugnut.
And fire, but no Lugnut. Oops.
"HEY! Coward! Come out here and fight like a man! Don't rely on projectiles, use your fists!"
With this, he subspaces his sword blade, and places the hilt-crest back on his chest, clenching his fists and looking around. "Where'd you go?!"

There still was no sign of Lugnut; the large Decepticon had seemingly disappeared into thin air...But things were never that simple. When the Junkion passed a certain set of trees, the purple stormed out of them, 'flying towards' Dai-Janku with a fearsome battlecry, wielding his hammer and about to smash it down onto the warrior.

It could never be that easy... That big purple loudmouth had to be around here somewhere.
Oh, there he is!
...oh, that's a very nasty looking hammer.
Hm... OH! Finally, something clicks in Dai-Janku's head.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!
And he does, barely, using his jumpjets on his back to move diagonally away several feet, taking up stance, and brandishing his fists again. "I said fight me like a man, with your fists! Not a weapon! Unless your 'almighty Megatron' didn't program you with the courage to do so!"

The hammer went down, down, dooooown...And missed it's intended target, an annoyed growl escaping Lugnut as the hammer impacted on the ground, sending another large splash upwards. "Stop moving so I may end you in the name of Megat-..."
Oh no, he didn't.
"...What?" The Decepticon turned to face Dai-Janku, pulling his hammer free, not even caring that it was covered with all kinds of organic gunk. "Did you imply that the glorious Megatron....Could fail!? HOW DARE YOU!?"
Lugnut roared as he came stomping for Dai Janku, his optics burning with rage as he started randomly swinging, his rage blinding him. "HOW! DARE! YOU! MOCK! MEGATRON!"

"Believe me, I dare, and dare to do it more!" he calls out to the jetbot, boosting back a fair bit. Once he's back far enough (he thinks), the junkion pulls his crest from his chest once more, grasping it with both hands as he stops. Then holding it up over his head, a flash of light erupts from it, summoning a large blade from subspace, longer than the Junkion is tall, and about as twice as wide as his arm.
"And I dare, because I am Dai-Janku, Junkion hero, and the sword that cleaves evil! There is nothing my colossal blade cannot--"

Lugnut grows in frustration at the Junkion, even as the swings of hammer sends a few trees toppling over, landing in the swamp with huge splashes. The Decepticon keeps approaching Dai-Janku, rage still in his optics, waiting for a chance to hit him...
And then the walking scrapheap was stupid enough to stand still.
Wasting no time, Lugnut swings the hammer back like a baseball bat before twirling around, letting the hammer gain momentum, and then swinging it forward to try and hit the Junkion as hard as he could.
If only to teach him that stock attacks should never be done when they're not in the name of Megatron.

And oh, how it hits.
Dai-Janku flies away from the hammer, and his Sword goes off in another direction, landing blade-down in the swamp.
Dai-Janku, however, has his turn at getting submerged in the nasty water and goop. Since he has all his limbs, however, he gets back up, with a nasty dent in the side of his torso. "My-- my blood! He punched out ALL MY BLOOD!" he sputters, spitting out swamp water and mud, before turning around.
"Eugh...okay, you can hit pretty good when you're mad. Tell me, though..." he starts, stumbling onto dry land. "Why's this Megatron guy so great, huh? Rare to see such a devoted and loyal Destron..."

A sense of satisfaction and justice washes over the one armed loyalist as he sees the Junkion fly through the air, ending with a splash that is even greater than his own. "Justice always seeks those out who dare to mock the great Megatron!"
Lugnut walks calmly toward Dai-Janku, his hammer raised in preparation to finish off the Junkion, his words only making him swell in pride even further. "I will do more then that, you fool! For the price of resisting Megatron is death!" With that he raises his hammer again, his boosters warming up, ready to crush the Junkion's head with a jump attack...
...Before dropping the hammer in shock at what the Junkion said. "What? You do not know?! You are not just a fool! You are an ignorant fool!" Lugnut looks at Dai-Janku with an odd mix of disbelief and anger radiating from his body language, the clamps of his arm pressing tightly together. "I shall tell you why all Decepticons are devoted to the great and powerful Megatron!"
His voice is not just angry anymore; it has a sense of pride and awe starting to bubble to the surface, something that only grows as he continues speaking. "The Great, Mighty and Just Lord Megatron is the one who sought to free us from Autobot tyranny! His divine presence gave us a reason to fight, banded us together and under his lead we laid waste upon the Autobots! We were his blowtorches, purged the Autobots with fire, and even when we lost to them Megatron would not rest!"
The preaching tone was ever increasing, his optics flaring up now, staring creepily at the Junkion. "Even in a humiliating retreat, Megatron kept us focused with the light of his glory! Even when he was lost to the Earth, he did not give up, manipulating the pathetic organics that had taken away his body, even getting a glorious new body from the very object that gave us life, the Allspark!"
"The glorious Megatron will never falter, never fail, never give up, and neither shall I, for his will compels me!" He shouts that to the sky above, his arm pumped up into the air. But then it starts heating up as he looks back down at Dai-Janku, pointing at him, the angry haze once again clouding his mind. "And now, you shall experience it! Now, you will witness the power of Megatron, the power that my Lord has granted upon me! Now, you will perish, in the eternally glorious name of Megatron!"
With that Lugnut starts running toward Dai-Janku, his arm bending back, the elbow opening up and expelling a streaming jet of heat. When he got close, the clamps folding back, a red button appearing in the middle of his palm. Then, when he was almost right in front of Dai-Janku, he skids to a stop, planting his feet in the ground, and moving to hit the Junkion with his most powerful attack...
The Punch of Kill Everything.

Oh, goodie! The blindly loyal fool fell for the bait! While Lugnut preaches, Dai-Janku thrusts his right arm out with a punch, as his fingers' individual sections move about an inch apart from each other. Then he draws both arms in close, and the wheels on his shoulders begin to spin, as well as the ones inside his legs. He raises his right hand, half gripping, almost twitching as a Cybertron sigil flashes over the back of his hand, now glowing green thanks to plasma swathing over it to superheat the metal. By this point, Lugnut has finished his speech, and is charging. Now, it's Dai-Janku's turn! "This hand of mine glows with an awesome POWER! Its burning grip TELLS ME TO DEFEAT YOU! TAKE THIS - MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW! SHIIIIIINIIIIING... FINGERRRR!" he cries out, charging forward at the final two words, reaching for that offending arm of Lugnut's...

It seemed as if everything was going in slow motion...Lugnut moving his arm forward, the heat of the weapon making the air shimmer, Dai-Janku moving to point(!?) at him with a superheated hand...
Then they met.
And Dai-Janku pressed the shiny big red button.
Boom.
The pre-mature pressing of the trigger caused a giant explosion to swell up in between them, that infamous design flaw of the POKE directing most of the force at it's own user. For half a second, Lugnut tried to resist the immense force of the explosion even as he was blinded by it, his armor blackening and smoldering in parts before finally the force of the blast became to much for him to handle.
A roar of frustration and mostly agony escaped him as he was catapulted into the air, twirling around again and again, before disappearing over the horizon, crash landing through a few trees before coming to a stop against a metal slab, once again claimed by the swamp as he lay there in stasis lock...
At least this time he was only missing an arm.

The brunt of the explosion may have hit Lugnut, but a fair bit of it hit Dai-Janku, enough to send him skidding over the dirt, clank his head against a rock, and tumble into the water with a splash, sinking down into the muck, in stasis lock.
So much for flashy heroics!
