“Mirage!” Farlane cries out when he sees the spy being piled on. “Mir- Slaggit!” Yeah, that Sharkticon just chomped off the end of his gun there? That guy was the biggest exhaust sucker of the whole lot. Of course, it was also dead from being shot in the mouth.
Okay, so, he has no gun now. In the meantime, Mirage was over there, getting piled and chewed on by a pack of energon-thirsty Sharkticons and their backup were Decepticons. Damnit it all, this was just getting better and better, wasn’t it? The next Bitey Mcspiky gets their face caved in by the butt of his gun, but not before it chews off a part of his doorwing. Slaggit, slaggit, slaggit. He ducks and quickly hauls his aft over to help the spy.
“You’d better not die!” he growls as he grabs one Sharkticon in the pile by its tail, digs his heels into the ground and then tries his best to pull a Kup.

Mirage rescued Spinister? How nice of him!
Especially because Needlenose has no intention of returning the favor.
There are less Sharkticons now than before. Few enough that Needlenose is pretty sure that if they make a run for it right now, they should be able to make it out.
With a quick glance back at the swarmed Mirage, he makes his decision. He grabs Spinister with his free hand, tucks his partner under his arm, and charges towards the opening he'd blown in the tunnel earlier, firing at Sharkticons as he goes.

Sometimes the moral of the story is just that Decepticons are jerks.
Spinister is grabbed and carried off! He keeps firing shots as he's taken away.
Will the curvy and buxom Farlane save the delicate and slender Mirage?
Tune in next time.
(Though, actually, yes, Farlane does totally pull a Kup on that one Sharkticon.)

"I have no intention of dieing!" Mirage growls out as a Sharkticon goes flying off of him thanks to a well-placed kick. Of course, Mirage is at the bottom of a sharkpile, so those words might not carry too well.
He shoves his rifle against the pileup and triggers it rapidly, one-handed. Armor-piercing rounds from his rifle at that range should tear through at least two Sharkticons before they lose momentum. In his other hand is a knife pulled from subspace which he uses to slip between vital points in the Sharkticons's armor.
Mirage succeeds in getting to a kneeling position, but there's still too many foes for him to get out of the pile on his own.

Farlane doesn’t quite have Kup’s brute strength, but the tail mace comes off easily enough with the correct joint-breaking twists. The de-tailed Sharkticon goes sailing offscreen and the pink car proceeds to beat the rest of them off his date with the new weapon.
And then the Decepticons ditch them. “Waste drinking drain scrapers,” he sighs in long suffering acceptance. “Was nice meetin’ ya too!” the pink car calls after them as he slams his elbow down between a Sharkticon’s eyes. He’d curse their sudden but inevitable betrayal but Farlane had pretty much seen that coming miles away.

Decepticons are more than jerks. In fact, if Needlenose had the firepower on him, he'd see about collapsing the tunnel entrance once he's in it, leaving the Autobots trapped with the Sharkticons. However, he already used up his rockets, and his 'big guns' aren't here.
As he blasts down one last Sharkticon, he leaps into the subway tunnel. He keeps running, because there are, after all, still Sharkticons after them, but he does radio Spinister.
//Shall we stick around? Maybe try to gun them down as they get out?//
Because yes. Needlenose is far worse than just a jerk.

Spinister would like that, yes. Taking out the invisible Autobot and... whatever Farlane is would make for a pretty good date night, Spinister feels.
However, he has the obvious to state, //Train coming.//
Yeah, they'd better get out of the way, Needlenose!
Mirage is almost entirely de-Sharkticoned. He and Farlane should be able to head off toward the tunnel now if they so desire - but they'd better watch out of the train!

Hooray! Mirage is done with his CoCo Chanel moment and has removed enough accessories to be classy once again. Or at least, free of toothy nibblers.
Making sure that Farlane if following, Mirage heads for the exit. He doesn't, however, barrel though it. He may have been brought online at night but not last night.
He can't hesitate too long though, so when he does slip out, the train is almost atop them. Perhaps there will be a replay of his shielding of Bambi in another subway tunnel earlier in this segment. Regardless, Mirage mutters, "Trains. Why is it always trains?"

Keeping their backs covered in case anymore Sharkticons decided to tag along, Farlane glances around in time for that train to roar by. He nearly discards his material existence for a moment there and moreso when Mirage tries to shield him. Oh wait, he was just being gentlemanly. Right-o.
“Hey, don’t go ‘round dissin’ trains, man. They’re pretty cool,” the pink chuckles quietly, even as he’s a bit unnerved. Louder, over the rush of the train, he asks, “Should we inch along the service path to the next stop then?” Or at least until the next maintenance platform, whichever one came first. He doesn’t particularly want to stick around to see where the ‘Cons have gotten to or be chomped on by the Sharkticons. Or whatever else was out there to get them.

Needlenose curses when he sees the train coming. Guess he can't stick around to finish of the Autobots, anyway. Still carrying Spinister, he darts off the tracks and down a side tunnel.
"Guess we'll have to finish them off some other time," he murmurs.
He continues moving quickly, even when he's no longer in immediate danger, because there's no way to be sure whatever set the Sharkticons on them (whatever? Quintessons, of course) isn't still making them a target. After a few moments of traveling in silence, he observes, "You know, I've got my doubts that his name is really 'Headlight.'"

Mirage gets trains because snakes are too small to bother him.
Spinister continues to be toted by Needlenose, like a particularly garish handbag.
There will be no mention in the paper tomorrow of what transpired here tonight. They can look, but they won't find mention anywhere.
Getting out is probably still a good idea, Autobots.
OOC: Out of thread due to being carried off.

"Too slow," Mirage says over the din in response to Farlane's suggestion of inching along.
"Let's hitch a ride, instead."
Mirage watches the cars for a few moments, waiting. When it gets close to the end, he jumps, grabbing hold of the ladder which leads to the train's top.
Should be plenty of time for Farlane to follow suit.
OOC: wrap?

"Yep, jus' livin' fer danger." Farlane grumbles as he follows suit, tattered dress flapping in the wind. "Remind me never to go out with you ever again."
OOC: Wrap!
