For several moments all Bumblebee could do was gaze down in horror at the scene of devastation on the rooftop below her, the burning remnants of the helicopter teetering on the edge of the roof as a demonic monster raged through the flames. Keeping her mind focussed on the task at hand was the only way she knew how to get through the situation and swooping down she dropped herself and her robotic companion into the relatively clean, unscented air inside the protective energy bubble and pulled out her blaster.

The others all seemed to have the threats of the helicopter's carcass and the risen demon under hand but while they dealt with the new problems, Bumblebee would deal with the old one. Taking careful aim the aviatrix fired a volley of electrically charged bolts into Thrash, not giving the drummer the chance to get her rhythm going again.

He kept one hand up in the air for bumble bee to pick him up by if she could to use him as a wrecking ball if she wanted.

@knighthawk

Nice idea, but Sigma's only down to 1 Health right now so I thought it best to get him clear of the blast zone instead. :)

Spinning around as she heard the explosion above Bumblebee saw the tail of the helicopter as it ripped apart, setting the whirlybird on a crash course for the rooftop. Glancing around she spotted Brick with his hand raise shouting something indistinguishable over the horrific sound of grinding metal coming from above. Spotting Sigma surrounded by the cheerleaders, his optics flickering as he barely hung onto operational status the aviatrix made a tough call.

Leaping forwards she grabbed hold of the mechanical man and quickly thumbed her jetpack into life, scorching the rooftop as she shot vertically up into the air, hoping she could gain enough altitude to be clear of the fireball bound to hit the rest of the team at any second.

No, the Immobilised status effect would prevent Thrash from moving away from her drumkit, but wouldn't stop her from being able to play it while trapped in the prison.

@Genni

If we could get Thrash away from her drumkit, with a TK push or body slam or something similar, and then trap her with the Void Prison, would she be able to summon her drumsticks again like she did before?

...you wouldn't be able to generate enough power with your attacks to give him the charge it'd need for the Bullet Barrage.

@Genni

In that case, if @GodOfWar Heretic uses Minor Mutation before Bumblebee uses her stingers we should be able to use the Attack boost to increase the power generated, giving Sigma the Energy he needs to take out the Cheerleaders.

@Behemoth542

Okay, here's something a little tricky. It's going to take two rounds for Bumblebee to power up enough to use her stingers again, but if Sigma uses Incendiary Rounds next turn Bumblebee could use her blasters to charge the robot up with her energy-based attack, letting him unleash a devastating fire-boosted Bullet Barrage like he did in the previous engagement to take down the SWAT Officer.

It would mean that Sigma would take 3 Health loss and possibly be Shocked, weakening his Defence, but it should be enough to wipe out most of the Cheerleaders and take a good chunk of health off of Thrash, especially if @GodOfWar Heretic uses Minor Mutation after Bumblebee's attack to help boost Sigma's Attack on top of the boost you'll be getting from @rush99999 Rocksmith's We Will Rock You.

@Shadowman215

Would Void Prison be able to stop Thrash from being able to keep playing? We only need a couple of turns respite to be able to strike back against her.

@General Scales

Could you keep forming TK Barriers around the team, so we don't have to worry too much about the Cheerleaders while we concentrate on taking Thrash down?

I don't think the one around Thrash is going to be much good since her ability isn't a standard attack so I expect @Genni will still be able to cause Health damage on us even with the barrier in place.

@KabenSaal

Good move with the Resting. Any chance of giving Thrash the double header in the next round? You should be able to weaken her Defence a little more as well as causing a good chunk of damage to her at the same time, preparing the way for Sigma's alpha strike.

We need to take out Thrash before her Crescendo gets any more powerful. I've knocked her Defence down to 4 now, but she'll only be that weak for a couple of rounds and I need to regain Energy before being able to sting her again.

Since Discord was protected against ranged attacks I'd expect at least one of Thrash's traits would protect her from melee attacks somehow, since that's the way @Genni usually works things like this. If everyone who can hit with a ranged attack targets her now we might be able to stop the music before it gets any worse.

Seeing her teammates being assaulted by the cheerleaders and feeling her own body being ron apart by the cacophony coming from the demonic drumkit Bumblebee quickly swooped over the battlefield, throwing everything she had at Thrash in an effort to give the rest of the team an opening against her. With her power supply dangerously low Bumblebee glided down for a landing, hoping a little time would allow her batteries to charge before she was ripped apart by the fangirl horde.

Caught in the sonic backwash of Thrash's rampant drumming beat Bumblebee tumbles through the air for a second before firing her jets and rising high over the battlefield once more. With her ears ringing from the drummer's noisy attack the aviatrix barely hears the order given by her stony teammate, and with a quick salute to show her acquiescence Bumblebee pulled her blasters around and aimed them at Thrash, launching off a volley of electrically charged bolts.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Sorry everyone but I'm going to have to drop out of the roleplay. I've somehow ended up getting paid to write roleplays for paying clients and they're wanting me to produce quite a lot of material on a very tight deadline which won't leave me much time for anything else.
