[b]Carbombya: The Spider's Cave[/b]

Tarantulas realized he'd have to be more careful with Megatron and the Transtech. They'd managed to pull off a combo attack without saying a word to one another. If Brainwave had any more gadgets to try things could get tricky. It suddenly occurred to him the third member of the group was strangely... absent from the scuffle. Turning to see what the Overseer was up to he noticed not only had the Astafanel put a considerable distance between them but it was preparing to fire a massive cannon.

"Like hell!" Acquiring a target lock he prepared to unleash a missile barrage on the not sitting duck. Luckily Megatron recognized the posture he was switching to and took the opportunity to body check the now distracted spawn of Unicron. The missiles still went flying though significantly off course. Unfortunately though they missed the shockwave from the explosions was still enough to send Rastun flying.

Tarantulas regained his balance from Megatron's blindside attack. "You three are actually starting to get on my nerves."

"Then I'm sure you're really going to enjoy this." Came a voice from the far side of the cave.

"Oh no..." Realizing he took his focus off the Transtech too long Tarantulas turned to see what he had done this time. He was just standing there... with a small device in his hand. Like he expected it to matter. "What exactly is that supposed to be?"

"See for yourself." And with that the device activated. It was only a split second before the spider realized his error in ignoring Brainwave and just what that device was. It was designed to incapacitate people wielding Unicron's power by hitting them with a massive feedback surge on Unicron's frequency. The more they fight it, the stronger the feedback gets.

Falling to his knees in pain Tarantulas was all but disabled for the moment. Never one to waste an opening Megatron instantly kicked him adding insult to injury.

"Look at you. Coming into this thinking you were invincible. And now you're at my mercy, YES!" Rolling the spider on his back Megatron stomped on his chest. "It's going to be fun beating on you till that armor cracks while you can't do anything about it!"

If only it were that easy... Tarantulas dug for all of his strength and channeled his Vok powers discharging energy beams from both hands right into Megatron before he could react sending him flying into the air.

"Oh shit..." Was the only response Brainwave could give as Megatron could be heard screaming on his way down. Right as Megatron landed the spider released a second omnidirectional discharge sending the entire group flying yet again. It also caused sizable structural damage to the cave as several large cracks formed in the walls.

"I have had about ENOUGH of all of you!" Bellowed the infuriated spawn of Unicron.

The Astafanel uses its thrusters to prevent itself from being fully blown away and eventually regains its balance. Clearly, things are not going the way the arachnid thought they would.

[i]Well, at least that was a partial success.[/i]

The spider is in a rage now, and Rastun is running out of ideas. So he does the only thing possible and fires on the enemy. The Astafanel unleashes a barrage of energy blasts from its eyes and wrist cannons, likely not doing much damage. If he retaliates with those energy beams, Rastun will just have to dodge and fire back until another opportunity presents itself.
