“Looks like that did it. We lost ‘em.” Ironhide said in relief, looking out at the clear skies around Skyfire. Aside from the amorphous green haze of the large acid cloud looming ominously just below them, there was nothing currently menacing the small collection of Autobots. Ironhide turned around to look over his comrades, “Everyone all right?”
“We’re good, Hide.” Jazz said, taking the time to make his own observation of his team - they had just pulled out of a mission to see what was going on with the Decepticons now that the Seekers had been gone long enough for it to be obvious that they were not coming back any time soon - and it definitely could have gone better. Especially that bit at the end where they got shot at, Jazz winced, “Mirage is a lil’ singed and Bee’d gonna need that leg looked at, but no critical damage.”
“Uh huh.” Ironhide said doubtfully, “And what about you?”
“Me?” Jazz grinned sheepishly, “It’s no biggie, just a few dings. M’self repair systems are already takin’ care of it.”
“Good.” Ironhide snorted, turning back to the front of the shuttle, “Ready to head home, Skyfire?”
The silence stretched too long, causing the tired Ops agents and equally exhausted extraction team to sit up worriedly as Ironhide frowned, “Skyfire!”
“… Ironhide…” The shuttle’s voice was strained, and Skyfire sounded like he was in a great deal of pain, “Get… strapped in… I can’t…”
The shuttle jerked as his engines coughed, sputtered, and finally died. Inertia kept the shuttle moving forward, but gravity tugged gently at the nose of the craft, and the horizon crept higher up the view shield.
“We’re going down!” Ironhide shouted as he strapped himself into the pilot’s seat, cursing himself for a fool for not noticing how badly Skyfire had been hit. He was getting as bad as a human, giving passengers priority over their ride. Skyfire should have been the first one he checked on. The weapons expert glanced sharply to the side as Jazz leapt into the co-pilots chair, face grim as the acid filled cloudbank loomed up to fill the entire view screen.
“C’mon, Fire, c’mon.” Jazz kept up the stream of futile encouragement even after it became apparent that they could not avoid the acid cloud. They were going to go straight through the centre. The best they could do was pray and try to avoid the worst of it and hope that the acid was weaker than the dark colour indicated. Otherwise Skyfire would never survive dropping through the acidic vapour with open wounds.
Deep green mist filled the screens, blocking out sight and scrambling sensors. A flash - the vapour peeling away from the windshield much sooner than expected - and a gleaming city rose up fast below them for a brief, impossible moment before Skyfire smashed into it, skidding along a miraculously clear lane just inside the towering wall until one broad wing caught the edge of a building, sending the shuttle spinning before ramming lengthwise into a solid wall with a nasty sounding crunch.
Knocked offline, the Autobots hung limply in their straps as crimson optics stared down at the badly damaged shuttle in surprise.
“Huh.” Barricade said thoughtfully once the noise died down, cocking his head to once side. Noting the red symbol embossed on the shuttle’s wings, the Guardian turned to look at his stunned subordinates, “Cassanova, go get the medics. The rest of you, come with me. It would appear that we have guests.”

Mwee~ *flails and points* Look! I wrote something that isn't backstory! XD Don't get used to it. I haven't started writing any scenes from the Alliance-arc, (since their's actually another arc between Defection and Alliance called Abduction that I need to plan out first) but I've gotten several more pieces from the War and Defection-arcs lined up for posting. ^_^
As a side note, I put up my Christmas Card List post this morning, but it won't hit the F-list until Dec 1st. Anyone who wants me to get a head start on their card should pop over and leave a comment. ♥
Here there be Dragons! *sigh* The Lava and Lightning eggs are hiding from me. *sad face*
