Arcee is keeping her speed just so, now that she's broken off from the others, just in case whoever decides to follow her is slow. She hasn't had too many chances to fight since coming here and in the one battle she was really involved in, she'd been wounded. Functional, which was better than some had, but wounded all the same.
It was high time these villains learned she was more than just a pretty face.

If it is pursuit this lady wants, it is pursuit she shall get! The bizarre from that is Injector swoops out of the sky. Not as fast as a jet, his beast from is fast enough to keep up with a majority of land-based vehicles. It can't, however, shoot them, so he flies low, swinging his spines forward to try to stab.

When Injector gets closer, panels open up in her bumper. There's the slight sound of a magazine being loaded and other parts moving into place and instantly, a spray of caltrops fills the air. Ordinarily, these little spiked jacks are meant to wreck tires or destroy the feet of equine-types...
But at this range, it's probably enough to put the hurt on a flying foe.

If Injector is listening, then one must wonder what he hears first -- the roar of Bluestreak's engine as he guns after the Predacon, or the babble of his vocalizer.
"...can do this, I can do this, they're not our Autobots even if they wear our symbol... holy slag, what is THAT ugly thing? It looks like something out of a bad monster movie!"
Well, here's a target that's obviously not an Autobot double, and it's obviously bad news seeing as it's trailing Arcee with every intention of malice. That's good enough for him.
"Hey ugly! You wanna play rough?"
Still flying at top speed, he crests a rise in the road and catches air. He flips out of car mode and into robot mode as he goes, launching one of his missiles as he flies. No, he's not agile enough to land gracefully, and no, that didn't occur to him before he pulled this stunt...

Injector rears back, the pointed jacks digging into the surface of his organic shell. Fortunately, his wings are mostly unharmed, and he can stay airborne.
Then the other car yells at him.
"UGLY!? Ugly?! Do you not appreciate any form of beauty? Are you some sort of savage, Autobot? Bah. You will learn my beauty, if I have to ram it straight through your skull. I plan to do that." Showing why exactly he was ranked Air Commander before, Injector deftly twists away from the missile. It is clear he will need greater range on his attacks, now. "Injector, TERRORIZE!"
Injector fires a stinger at the 'bot with a missile, then flies after the pink one, his air speed not much lower in this form.

Arcee's weapons are, by and large, not designed for dealing with flying enemies. If this had been any of the other evil Autobots, she could have run them off the road in any number of ways. Still, some of the weapons she does have do possess sufficient arcs to be useful all the same.
The panels on her bumper close briefly and when they open again, there's the sound of something shifting as a pair of small nozzels slide out. They adjust themselves until they're pointing upward, firing a stream of oil in an arc toward Injector.
Once she's fired, she quickly transforms, turning around and firing her rifle into the stream of oil. Her intention here is to set the oil--and hopefully Injector--on fire. "You're not just ugly..." she taunts, "you'd make a Skuxxoid look handsome!"

"Oof!" Bluestreak hits the ground hard, rolling a few times before he stops himself. The missile glances across his back, leaving a deep scratch but not piercing the metal.
"Hey, I appreciate beauty!" retorts Bluestreak. "I just have to see it first!" He stands and gets ready to shoot again, just in case Injector doesn't burst into flames...

"You Autobots have no taste. None. I will have to teach you---ARGH!" A stream of fire strikes the Predacon. He dodges out of the path of the oil as fast as possible, but he takes a scorching; fortunately for him, he's not alight, merely scorched. Well, mostly. There's a bit of fire on his arm, but he quickly parts it out.
"You dare burn my beauty?!" Switching his launcher to explosive mode, he fires repeatedly, targeting alternatively both Autobots.

BOOM![/i] An explosive round goes off in front of Arcee, knocking the female Autobot backward and landing her on her aft.
"Personally," she taunts again, "I think it's an improvement!" She fires off a few more shots, aiming for Injector's wings.

"I have taste, I just have better taste than HOLY SLAGGIN' SONOFAGLITCH!" That last he yelps out as he springs to one side to avoid the explosive missile. He's not entirely successful, and his legs are blackened from the knees down. The left one also takes some fire damage, and he limps noticeably when he regains his balance.
"Okay, fish-bug, two can play at that game!" Bluestreak shouts, firing another missile at the Predacon.

"An improvement... Insolent female! You will..." He never finishes the sentence. To be Air Commander of the Predacons, one must boast excellent skill. However, it's not enough to avoid all of Arcee's shots. They clip a wing, sending him spiraling to the ground.
That's not all bad for Injector, for Bluestreak's missile explodes above him. An impressive effect, allowing him to head to the side and out of the crossfire, but not enough to damage him. Not wanting to waste missiles, Injector grabs his standard-issue laser rifle from subspace and commences firing indiscriminantly at both.

"Argh!" A blast tears through Arcee's abdomen, punching a clean hole through and out the back. In causes her to collapse to one knee, and when she places a hand on the wound, it comes back black and oily, slick with mech-fluid.
Not fatal, though she does have a few warnings dancing before her optics, but painful all the same. It makes her aim unsteady, so she seeks cover first, before returning fire.

"Oh, fraggit," snaps Bluestreak as his missile detonates without connecting. He pulls his rifle out of subspace. His aim with this isn't the best, but maybe it'll work better at close range than his missiles...
Then Arcee goes down on one knee, bleeding fluid from an abdominal wound. "Arcee! Are you..." he begins.
Then a blast punches through his damaged leg, further shredding already-crisped circuits. Another barely misses his cranial unit and instead punches a hole in his doorwing. He yelps in pain and struggles to keep his balance.
"That does it," he decides, and he aims at the Predacon and pulls the trigger.

"Ah, excellent." Injector strides forward. "Now that you're disabled..." He prepares to squeeze off a pair of explosive missiles when Bluestreak pulls the trigger. Fortunately for the Predacon, he's small and quick. He dodges, and the shot almost misses. Almost. "ARRGH." His left arm, fortunately for him not his primary gun arm, hangs uselessly. "You... glitch." He fires off several missiles, mostly at Bluestreak but not neglecting Arcee.
How does one Predacon successfully fight two Autobots? How?!

Arcee ducks back behind her cover, one hand still clamped tightly over her midsection to keep from losing any more fluids. Hopefully, her auto-repair systems will set in soon and at least seal the hole.
Once she's certain it's safe, she sticks her head off and fires at Injector's head. It's kind of hard to miss, being such a large target.
