Turn 19: Operation Osborn
i go jet and head to the meetup point at full speed
[2] After a half hour or so of flight, you reach the rendezvous point, to find most of the team already waiting for you.
Transform into chopper mode, repaint myself to look like a civillian helicopter, then head out towards the target city. Do some electronic surveilliance on the way there.
[3] During your flight to Osborn you attempt to get some idea of what the city is like. [1][5] However, as soon as you try you realize that your programming is already under assault by NEST agents. These guys are good! You learn from SkyFall's mistake, however, and immediately shut down your hacking attempts. Not long after you arrive at the rendezvous point with your fellow Decepticons.
High Five Hacksaw.
Go to were i'm supposed to.
You give a high-five to your comrade for his awesome imitation of you, then transform and head for the rendezvous point. [6] You manage to find a shortcut and arrive there well before any of your comrades. You don't even risk thinking how you beat the jets here, as you fear the attempt may break your mind. (+1 to Vehicle Use, level gained)
I transform to vehicle mode and head for the city.
[4+1] As you head down a busy highway, you notice on your HUD that Band Kannon has found a shortcut. You quickly break off from traffic and follow him, arriving at your destination a few minutes after him. (+1 to Vehicle Use, level gained)
"Hey, good luck"
Spray one of my gattlings, and try to gain some vertical advantage
[4+1] After encouraging your sparring partner, you leap into the air and activate your thrusters. You're a bit exposed up here, but as a bonus there's nowhere for Hot Rod to hide. [4+1][1] You open fire with your machine guns, battering Hot Rod from your position. However, he manages to to survive the barrage no worse for wear.
"Omega, are you trying to get yourself killed?! Stop this!"
This is ridiculous. I'm not about to stand here and watch Omega get blown to hell and back by Optimus. I rush forward and attempt to tackle him. If I succeed, I will attempt to keep him pinned down and speak.
"Don't you understand? You are going to LOSE this fight. What's the point of your existence if you to die like this?"
[5] After attempting to reason with Omega (which failed) you rush from your upper position and tackle him to the ground. You begin to shout into his face that he's an idiot and he's going to die at this rate. (+1 to Unarmed Combat, level gained)
On the way to the meeting point, practice with my new weapons.
As you head to the meeting point, you open fire on traffic below you. [6+1] You destroy dozens, perhaps hundreds of cars, barely missing Shadow as he swerves off of the road. [2] You arrive rather late at the rendezvous, well behind most of your comrades. (+1 to Blaster Use, level gained)
Return Band Kannon's high five, get on my way to the meeting point.
You give your apparent idol a high-five, and then it's off to the races. [5] You make a valiant effort, beating the jets somehow and arriving in 3rd place. (+1 to Vehicle Use, level gained)
Scan the map for usable bodies of water leading up to the destination point. Start moving in the general direction of Osborn at a brisk jog.
[4] As it happens, there is a water route leading directly to the rendezvous. You wonder if Barricade did this on purpose. [2+1] However, you decide to walk anyway, and arrive at the meeting some long expanse of time later. But you beat the planes.
wat
Lunge onto Optimus's back and dig out some of his inards with some fancy kniving.
[4] With some visible effort you throw Thundercrash off of you and charge at Optimus. [2-3+1] He dodges to the side and watches as you crash into the ground where he once stood. (+1 to Unarmed Combat, level gained)
Decepticon Actions:Arrive and explain.
[5+2] Staff Sergeant Plot-Exposition gets a head start on all of you, and managed to arrive far before even Band Kannon. He sits perfectly still until all of you arrive. He then gets up and begins to pace, giving a final speech before the battle.
"This is it, recruits. The moment we've been hardening you all for. It's been a long road for those of you that remain from the initial squad, hasn't it? Well it's all about to pay off. With this assault, we'll finally draw those cowards out of hiding and bring them down right out in the open. But before we do this, there's three things I want you to know.
First off, stick together. The Autobots are gonna come in force, and it's not going to be easy holding them off until Megatron arrives. As far as you've come, you need to understand that there are still Autobots that outclass you. You'll need numbers and smart thinking to bring them down.
Second, we have two primary targets before the Autobots arrive. We'll need to destroy the police department and the docks. The police department is chock-full of the suits we encountered at the factory, and in force have enough power to kill a Cybertronian. Therefore, a preemptive strike is in order. And the docks, well, at the moment they're a viable escape route; and that just won't do.
Finally, and this is a big one, stay away from Optimus Prime. Megatron has explicitly told me that only he is allowed to bring him down, and anyone else that tries is going to be his victory feast. Understood? All right then, let's get to work boys."
He jumps off the cliff behind you all, riding down to the highway below and blasting cars. [6+3] He leaves the entire section of road a crater as he charges into Osborn. (+1 to Vehicle Use, +1 to Blaster Use)
Autobot Actions:Uh...
He remains where he stands, unsure of whether or not to help subdue Omega. He'd rather not defy a direct order from Optimus, but he's in danger around this maniac.
Coach
Attempting to assist Contrail, he shouts out a few tips. "Aim for the shoulders, all the big guns are in his shoulders!"
Restrain Omega
[3+5][5][5] Optimus brings down his axe on Omega's back while he's still on the ground. The blow knocks apart his plating and rips apart most of the circuitry underneath. Another good chop and the Decepticon will be in two pieces.
Return fire
Hot Rod's out of his element in ranged combat, but Contrail is an easier target in the open air.
[5+2+1][4][6] He fires off a clean shot, hitting Contrail on his dangling leg. Thanks to the heavy armor plating, however, the blast was rather ineffective. (+1 to Blaster Use)
