What is it with Autobots denying awesome kills? It is really starting to get on Lugnut's nerves. The zealot makes his frustration known by growling, his optic zooming in on the Autobrat that dared deny him, while planting his feet solidly onto the hull.
He waits for the jet to come close before he opens fire with his chest-mounted turrets, trying to shoot him down, even though he knows that Jetfire will bring the fight to him.
He IS an Autobot, after all.

Jetfire breaks off his dive towards Lugnut in order to dodge the turret blasts. And if there's one thing Jetfire learned in Elite Guard training, it was how to dodge blasts from turrets! Swinging back around to approach Lugnut more from the side, rather than straight on, and strafes him with small fireballs. He seems to have missed the fact that this means he'll likely end up shooting the Event Horizon a little. Oops?
He notes Omega Supreme drifting away and realizes he should try to retrieve him before he ends up too far away. But for now there is a Decepticon to deal with.
//You have caused damage to my fellow Autobot, Decepticon! In the name of the Elite Guard, I shall make to punishing you!//

Fantastic, this is one of those Autobots that would rather run in circles then face him head on. It just makes Lugnut even more annoyed, and the flames Jetfire hurls at him don't improve his mood either.
...Wait. What did he say?
//Elite Guard!? HA! I will enjoy CRUSHING you!// Lugnut shrugs off the flames before he blasts up and directly at Jetfire, transforming to bomber mode. He may not be made for dogfights, but he has something that gives him an edge: the turret on his back, which can actually turn and fire at Jetfire wherever he goes!
Of course, the gaping wound is still there, now on his hull...

//And I will enjoy making toast to you, badness bot!// That doesn't mean what you think it means, Jetfire.
He swings back around, spinning and swooping to avoid the stream of shots from Lugnut's turret as it tracks him. He gets caught in the line of fire a few times, shots scattering across his sides. Maneuverability slightly compromised, but he can still fly loops around this titan!
Jetfire aims straight for Lugnut's injured side, intending to hit it with a burst of flame before narrowly ducking beneath the Decepticon's belly.

The fact that he's actually hitting Jetfire is oh so very satisfying, but the fact that he doesn't seem that phased by it is simply infuriating. But any thoughts of rage disappear when Jetfire hammers his injured side, melting more circuitry and metal, making the zealot roar in pain as he turns to try to escape the flames.
The wound is starting to crackle with energy now while static briefly overrides Lugnut's vision, but then he snaps out of it. //You will PAY for that!// He snaps over the radio as he turns around, tilting to keep his injured side away from Jetfire, and to bring him in the direct line of fire of his turret.

Swinging out of his dive Jetfire takes several shots across his back, one of them puncturing a fuel tank. He quickly flips back around and moves to try and keep below Lugnut, out of his line of fire, but he's already haemorrhaging fuel into the vacuum. That's no good! If he runs out of fuel out here, he won't be able to rescue Omega, and he himself will need a pick up!
//Be admitting the defeat!// he shouts, moving about to fire at one of Lugnut's engines. Perhaps he can at least strand the 'Con in space, if he cannot knock him into stasis!

Lugnut tries to shield himself from Jetfire's flames, letting the armor on top of his fuselage suffer the brunt of it, but some do manage to lash against that wound, causing another pain spike to surge through his systems. Curse him for being so fast!
But oh, Lugnut doesn't miss that leakage. His aim shifts, becoming focused, trying to hit either the trail left behind or the broken fueltank itself. It's just a shame that he is not exactly a sharpshooter. //HA! SURRENDER?! I think NOT, Autobot! I am a warrior of MEGATRON! I will never surrender, lest I be shamed in his gloooorious optics!//

Starscream rockets forth from the Event Horizon, afterburners carrying him swiftly towards the embattled Jetfire and Lugnut. He's in jet mode, but that's never stopped him before.
//Look out, Lungut,// he warns, centering Jetfire in his sights and opening up with his machine gun. The F-22 makes a single pass on the Autobot and then just as quickly disappears from view around the curve of the Event Horizon. He has bigger fish to fry, and he doesn't want to waste missiles here.
Wild Starscream appeared! Wild Starscream used Vulcan 20mm! Wild Starscream fled!
OOC: Drive-by shooting okay'd with Jetfire's player.

Thankfully it's not super-effective! Starscream's attack takes Jetfire by surprise as he's busy dodging Lugnut's weapons fire - thankfully he doesn't have to worry about leaving much of a fuel trail, as the liquid quickly boils away and dissipates in the vacuum of space. Bullets swipe his side, damaging one of his thrusters and breaking off one of his winglets.
No good, no good at all! He can't keep dodging fire like this.
Diving for Lugnut's belly once more, Jetfire transforms and tries to get a grip on him. If he manages, his hands will begin to heat.

This little annoying perp just won't blow up, will he? It's really getting on his nerves, and it doesn't help when Starscream comes around and takes his own shot at it! Though at least he doesn't still the bomber's kill.
But then he realizes that he lost sight of Jetfire! //Where did you go!?// Lugnut snarls over the radio, trying to find the Autobot, but then he feels something grab him and the building heat soon clues him in to who it is! He doesn't waste time though, quickly transforming, and with a bit of luck he can trap Jetfire's hands between the shifting plates! //THERE YOU ARE!//

Sorry Lugnut, Jetfire is an agile little thing and he quickly kicks away from Lugnut, drifting away at a steady velocity. Flinging his hands forward and together, he unleashes another burst of flame.
//Ha! You are too slow, Decepticon scum!// He sounds cockier than he feels. His fuel isn't leaking as fast anymore, but it's still seeping out through seams in his armour, and Omega Supreme is still drifting away... And the ship is slowly moving away from the both of them now!
He really hopes help arrives soon.

The flames scorch more of his armor, but they hurt like the burning Pit where they come in contact with his wound, making the giant roar out in pain as he tries to shield it with his arm. A loud, angry growl escapes him, when he notices that the flames obscure Jetfire from his sight...And possibly him from the Autobot as well!
//Am I, you pathetic knock off!?//
Suddenly, out of those burning flames, something comes flying right at Jetfire: Lugnut's rocket propelled fist! Think fast, Jetfire!

Jetfire doesn't need to think fast, for someone else already is! SomeoneS else, actually.
An orange and rust and brown and cream and red streak flashes past Jetfire's position in a blur, snatching that flying fist right out of the ai--, err... vacuum of space with a deafening ROAR! There is no air to carry sound in space? Bah! LongCat is from G1, where they have Electric Lava and the Planet Goo! If he wants to ROAR in space, he will ROAR IN SPACE! (Besides, it's heroic and makes the perfect entrance for Dai-Janku, the Valiant!)
A New Challenger Appears!
From the curtain of flames that Lugnut has just shot his fist through expecting to crush a tiny Autobot foe, erupts a mighty LION, with an even mightier warrior astride him! Dai-Janku and LongCat have arrived for a rematch, Lugnut! Well, Dai-Janku wants the rematch. LC is just his trusty steed to carry him there.
LC is no longer roaring, though, for he is happily munching through that rocket fist of Lugnut's like a rust stick treat. It's crunchy and packed with ferric goodness, but it ain't no cheeseburger.
// Ceiling Cat does NOT APPROVE! You can has BEATDOWN now! //
ooc: catching and crunching of Lugnut's fist o doom done with permission. LC will spit it out in his next post. Because it really ain't no cheeseburger.

Carried on Longcat's back is a familiar black and red figure, carrying a trademark oversized sword - this one styled after a paring knife with thrusters on the back and in the handle.
Dai-Janku does not approve, either, judging by the not-pleasant look on his face as he points his blade at Lugnut. //It's all over, lawbreaker! Your spree is at an end! I'll take any stolen goods you have. The next move is yours - pay your fine, or I'll haul you away.1//

Jetfire just floats and stares for a moment. He hadn't been expecting that. That was- well, actually that was pretty awesome!
//Thank you for coming to assistance!// he says with a grin. //Are you needing me to be staying and fighting?//
Sure he'd like to stay and fight, but Omega Supreme really needs picking up, and both of them could use a medic.
