OOC: Scrouge skipped due to time out.
Fleetwind hadn't been in the hallway when Dead End went roaring through. He was in one of the adjacent rooms, quietly studying and drinking his energon. At the noise of the sports car roaring down the hall, he... sits and waits, deciding he wants none of whatever's going on.
His mistake, really, is assuming it's over sooner than it is.
The Seeker steps into the hallway, ready to head about his business, when the roar of a semi informs him that he has made a critical error. His optics widen, and he leaps to the ceiling, laying flat against it and clinging as Scourge thunders past beneath him.
"I... of all the... blasted..." he stutters out, still shivering faintly.

Blitzwing glared at the onrushing Scourge, gritting his teeth as rage flowed over his being. This was a challenge, this impudent challenge riled his warrior spirit, allowing him to draw strength from within himself to face the onrushing foe. Using this new found inner strength to steel his resolve, Blitzwing transformed, majestic in his splendor as a Decepticon warrior, nay a Knight!
Charging forward, Blitzwing met his savage foe, and...
Or that what would happen, if this had been on of those "Fan Fiction" things Blitzwing had heard about while on earth.
Instead, Blitzwing follows Fleetwind's example, using his foot thrusters to blast himself up agianst the ceiling where his antigravs take care of the rest.
He's never going to get into the pool....

Dead End decides that the ceiling is a good place to be and accelerates, driving along the ceiling upside down. Fortunately the cylindrical halls make it easy to maneuver when he comes to an intersection--and he does. Dead End hangs a sharp left, skidding across the central ceiling as transverse Gs threaten to tear him loose--
And makes it to the opposite wall of the left-hand corridor just in time, his rear end sliding down the wall until he pulls it out and steps on the gas.
Hopefully no one important sticks his head out into the corridor at just the wrong time to see what the racket is.
--- Dead End keeps going if Scourge pursues clear out into the countryside, unless stopped. If not pursued, he's still going to go hide.

Sky-Byte narrowly leaps out of the way, a very curved shark now outlined the upper half of the hall as Scourge roars through. Why hello, Fleetwind. Fancy seeing you up here as well...
How curious. Sky-Byte peels himself off the wall once again and peers after the two racing vehicles. "My my, my curiosity if piqued!" And Sky-Byte begins swims after Scourge.

The black tanker track does not particularly care if there are people in his way. If he'll slam into a fire truck or through many meters of solid bedrock, he'll slam into anything.
Scourge mostly ignores Fleet, Blitzwing, and even Sky-Byte, intent on chasing Dead End out of the base. He does not drive on the ceiling or anything fancy. He mainly just concentrates on not running into the walls.

Once Scourge passes, Fleet waits for another few moments, then drops nervously to the ground. He stares after Dead End and Scourge... and now Sky-byte? His optics flicker in a surprised blink, and he glances up at Blitzwing, shaking his head.
"I have nooooooo idea what that all was about."

Blitzwing is now annoyed, as he often is. Its one thing for Dead End to go screaming through the halls, he can be maneuverable or easily avoided, but its another for Scourge, big Tanker Truck in small hallways Scourge, to do the same thing.
Dropping down from the ceiling, Blitzwing turns toward the direction they went and by extension Fleetwind.
"Well, I intend to find out. Your smart, come with me." He says, moving to grab Fleetwind by the wrist and drag Fleetwind along with him.
If Fleetwind allows himself to be grabbed, good. If not, he can expect to have something unpleasant in his bunk.

Dead End flips back down to the floor as he approaches the front entrance, kills speed in a 720 degree bootlegger reverse, then transforms to hit the 'open' switch. As soon as the door slids far enough open, he hits the 'close' switch and dives out the door before it closes, transforming back into Porsche mode as he tumbles.
His rear tires squeal as they spin, then bite into the road and he's off into the ruined town--or possibly the highways beyond.
The closed, armored door should slow Scourge down just a whee bit. He has to stop to open it, right?

Now this is getting to be the most interesting car chase Sky-Byte has ever seen. Stunticons matter, eh? Even more curious...
He trails after Scourge's wake. Yes, Sky-Byte will try keeping an eye on this event, a rather sneaky shark eye.

Stopping? Stopping is for people who aren't black repaints of Optimus Prime.
Okay, so Scourge will have to help fix the doors later. Whatever. This is a matter of discipline.
...
A matter of Scourge having boundless anger?
Yeah.
The door might be designed to withstand a ramming from the outside - Hook is clever that way - but are they designed to withstand Scourge running into them, full speed, from the inside?
Wham.

Fleetwind's wrist is grabbed, causing his optics to widen while he exclaims, "Hey!" Then he remembers that this is Blitzwing, and that Blitzwing is bigger and stronger than he is, and he keeps from saying anything else. Instead, he follows Blitzwing down the hall, first running to keep up, then activating his antigravs.
That way, Blitzwing can just drag him along at whatever pace he wants to go at.

Blitzwing takes off at a run after Scourge, half following Sky-Byte as well. He's now where as fast as scourge is on the ground, but he doubts he'll have to be, as the trail of Destruction will leave will be easily followed.
Fleetwind has made the correct choice, and as such will be ignored until needed.

Dead End roars down the main street of town--then does a sharp, skidding turn down a narrow side-street. Has he lost Scourge? Did Scourge even pursue past the front gate?
Dead End pulls into the drive of what looks like the local scrapyard and idles, lurking behind the rusted-out hulk of some kind of conveyor. His radar silently hums, watching in all directions, giving him time to contemplate his situation.
Scourge was quite put out with him. Apparently he didn't like to receive what he dished out... how very Motormaster-like.
Dead End radioed Scourge, // Whatever is the matter? I thought you liked the pool! //

"You know," Fleetwind says softly, soft enough that he can be ignored and dismissed if Blitzwing wants, loud enough to be heard, just in case Blitzwing is up for listening to reason, "it looks like an internal Stunticon- well, Stunticonish- matter to me."
He's still being pulled down the hallway by Blitzwing, neither resisting nor struggling, though he is keeping an optic out for potential escape routes.
"Are you really sure they wish an audience?"

Scourge does not like to see his subordinates tripping him. It's an appalling breach of discipline!
Nevermind that Dead End isn't his subordinate.
The wreckage of the door is left behind him, barely slowing him at all. However, he doesn't have a radar like Dead End, so his chase may soon become moot. He is not Scourge the tracker. That thorned barb on the radio, however, ensures that Scourge will harry as well and as long as he can.
He growls back to Dead End, cruising the town in search of the Stunticon, //You think you're hilarious.//
