Ratchet's on hand for this one. Normally, for spectacle fights--like the one between Starscream and Dirge--he keeps his distance. He doesn't need to watch it all go down and for the most part, he's got the freedom to 'overbook' himself elsewhere on those days. Not tonight.

It is hard to deny his curiosity- four Cybertronians against one human?- but more than that, he's the only one on the blasted payroll who's actually trained enough in organic medicine to keep someone from dying should the need arise. And the odds weren't looking good in 'Blackout's favor right now.

So he watches from the staging area, arms crossed, frowning out at the arena floor. This was going to be a disaster for someone; he could feel it.

"You realize," Skywarp says, "If anything goes...legally sour about this, the medic team that cleared the foul-mouthed android gets to join Kick Off."

Plausible deniabilty? Why, yessssss.

[Sidelines] airspacecommand March 7 2011, 14:35:55 UTC

Hey guess what, Ratchet? You won two annoyances for the price of one.

"And you realize that ultimately liability and blame still falls back onto the estabilishment and it's owners. Of course I doubt you actually have any real knowledge in business management -- the way you bumble around like a fool." The voice came from behind both of them and it seemed like someone was obviously in a great mood.

Though he was rather nonchalant about the whole thing, leaning back against a wall like nothing important was going on at all.

"Anyone care to make bets on the winner? My money is on the human."

"I SO hate disappointing you, Starscream. I happen to have signed permission forms, and an ident bolt for that 'mech'. That little thing in there is Blackout according to my registry. If some...medic slipped, that medic's doing jail time. And me? I shall be HIGHLY OUTRAGED that I have such corruption in my ranks."

He's been practicing 'highly outraged' for a while now.

"As for business management, I'm not going to open my books for you, but...," he just laughs. Oh, Starscream, actually, Skywarp's Arena is doing...nauseatingly well. 'Rolling in cash' might be applicable. It's math and statistics: that's got Skywarp written all over it.

For a second, he could hardly believe his luck. They were really throwing him up against an organic? And a tiny one at that. Just how pathetic did they want this fight to be?

It didn't matter. He was the big arena star. They paid him to fight, not ask who was going down when. Doing his best to stifle a laugh, Sunstreaker heaved himself to his feet, and strolled out into the arena, his rifle slung comfortably over one shoulder. His pace was unhurried, stride nice and even, thanks to Ratchet's back-street repairs. Of course, he'd never admit that.

"You really think a couple curses are going to help you, human?" he shot back, letting the rifle fall neatly into position. There was a smug little grin on his face. "Curse until you run out of air! You are, officially... screwed."

He set his hips at a confident cock, watching the fleeing human.

"Any last words?"

"Yeah, I've got one for you, asshole," Isaac growls into his helmet.

It's a trick to avoid the Cybertronians chasing him around the ring, stomping and swinging their melee weapons at him. Shooting would take time, he supposes, or they just really, really want to have a bloody mess on their hands.

Whichever.

But then there's this cocky douchebag, and he has a choice action to make.

The human throws himself between one of their legs -- Killface, or something -- and he slides by him. Rolling onto his feet, Isaac throws out his hand, a burst of blue energy to capture Sunstreaker. His stasis module.

Just to slow the guy down.

"FUCK YOU."

gditsideswipe March 7 2011, 05:56:54 UTC

"Is that supposed to--"

Everything ground to a halt. He blinked. This wasn't supposed to happen. It was just some stupid little organic. Not anything to worry about. He snarled out something vile in Cybertronian, snapping his rifle into position.

Some stupid little organic with magic powers? Were they serious with this scrap?

He did his best to aim and fire, even with the stasis slowing him down.

runningerrands March 7 2011, 06:04:33 UTC

The stasis does assist in letting Isaac keep up and manage to avoid being hit. However, he still needs to push himself to the point where he almost feels like his legs are fucking flailing under him.

All the while, he curses under his breath, reaching back to pull out his plasma cutter.

He'll have to take him out, one bit at a time.

Isaac takes aim; the plasma cutter itself, the original design, was meant as a mining tool. However, it's also been used for surgery; the precision has helped in cutting off limbs in the past.

Why not with Cybertronians?

He aims for Sideswipe's elbow, firing a few times before he needs to run again and dodge away from a tackling Decepticon.

Shit, he's going to kill Starscream for this.

[Since this is all happening in, well, Skywarp's arena, he's just going to sit back, laugh, and take in the profits. Sure, he could step in and stop it, because, well, that's NOT Blackout, but two of the biggest pains in his aft tearing into each other? And he gets to watch?

AND profit? Oh, keep it up, Autobots.]

"GOOOOOOOOOO ISAAC! I MEAN BLACKOUT!" Starscream crows, leaning forward as he watches the "fight". Typically, Starscream would have been worried. What with Dirge trying to eat him and all, but he has the utmost confidence in Clarke's ability to break everything he touches efficiently enough.

"Go for the legs!" He calls over the crowd.

"Oh! Look out for Adrian Brody! He's gonna getcha'!"

runningerrands March 7 2011, 16:22:22 UTC

A moment later.

"I FUCKING HATE YOU. I WILL END YOU."

Adrian Brody's hand is chucked with Isaac's kinesis towards Starscream.

endless_avarice March 7 2011, 20:07:00 UTC

Dirge is sitting next to Starscream, watching the fight intensely.

"If he dies, can I have the body?"

aircommanderp March 13 2011, 08:26:05 UTC

The Seeker ducks his head just in time to have the hand go flying by and hit some mech behind him.

"Hey! Yes I see you! Good job! I can't hear you! It's a little loud!" He calls to Isaac, waving happily before he turns to his clone, "No. He's my human, and he's not going to die. Isn't he just the greatest?" He plops a container of energon treats in Dirge's lap.

"Here, eat these instead of Clarke."
