As smoke finished coming from the recently fired gun, Blackout observed the results of his actions. He was momentarily surprised, as the organic he had probed not only lived, but wasn't even harmed. It seemed that the creature had frozen the bullets, and moved out of the way, letting them harmlessly slam into the wall in the background. OF course, a couple bullets bounced off and impacted elsewhere, but none of them hit anyone. As the noise of the gun started to stop echoing around, Blackout once again spoke. **[Impressive. For an organic, you show surprising strength.]** Rather then speak any further, the massive Decepticon merely started the engine of his helicopter form. The jets began to rumble and whine, and the noise filled the hangar. It would take a few minutes to fully start up, and a little bit longer to get the blades rotating fast enough to create adequate lift. Of course he could get them going much faster if he needed, but he wasn't rushing.

hope no unfortunate goons were standing behind Dio. They'd get shredded if they were. If any nameless character's were ... I'll make sure to send a couple flowers to their families or something.

> "My dear colleague, you seem to be forgetting that I am no human." Dio stated, walking over to a nearby wall and picking up a pistol. "I hate to use demonstration like a Joestar would, but this demonstration should suffice." > > Aiming the pistol at his own head, Dio fired the gun. The bullet never reached his head, however- The World had caught it the millisecond it discharged from the barrel of the gun. > > "Or... You could try shooting at me, if you really don't think I could take on a few idiots with fancy guns. I assure you, it should be more than enough." **[As you wish]** A short series of electronic sounds came from the helicopter. At the same time, the nearest minigun located on the side of the helicopter started to aim itself at the vampire. Despite having no person to seemingly fire it, the minigun began to spin. Within a fraction of a second, the muzzle of the gun erupted in flames as the bullets streaked out. An extremely loud buzzing sound followed as the Decepticon shot at the vampire from a point-blank range. Blackout was confident that the creature would be torn to shreds by his weapon, much like the countless other humans who were foolish enough to try and assault him. Not seeing the point in wasting bullets, he only fired for a second or so, a short burst designed to test the organic.

Would rounds from [this gun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoQYv6Uit98) bouncing around the hangar gain her attention? And I should be posting momentarily.

Okay, I'm back. will finally get a post up and some bullets thrown at a certain vampire. --- Lol, perhaps blackout could get away from the boring mission in one simple way. Helicopters don't work in space (where I'm presuming the raiders now are) ... then again, since when do Transformers conform to logic?

In fact, sometimes I think Starscream is THE reason infighting occurs ... Although Megs doesn't seem to mind.

> Be aware that Shadow Eternity's leader does not believe that her goal can be obtained if her organization's members begin infighting. Which is amusing because the Decepticons were very used to (and sometimes even encouraged) to take part in infighting.

> I was honestly expecting Dio to to just shoot himself in the head to prove his point. Well since he asked Blackout to shoot him ... He he he

> "Proof... Do you mean that proof?" Dio asked casually, pointing to a glowing panel on the wall behind Blackout. It was showing the same message that was shown to him, which meant it had been a universal broadcast. > > "I recall one of the mechanics mentioning that every facility had an automatic silent alarm installed to notify us if anything went awry. I'm almost sure you also received the memorandum, correct?" he asked, walking up to the talking helicopter. > > "I do believe that should warrant such an excursion, should it not?" he asked, a small smile visible on his lips. Once again, the machine was silent for a few moments. Of course, that wasn't quite the proof he had been interested in. What he was hoping for was direct orders from above to utilize his strengths. He had already seen the message that alerted them to the current predicament. **[Insects seem to have the most annoying habit of pointing out the obvious ... However, I was hoping for direct orders for my deployment. This base is not under immediate attack, it would make sense to think before we react. Or do you believe you can take on this threat entirely on your own?]** A series of strange noises followed, and they didn't appear as a translation. It was a cybertronian equivalent to chuckling, and as such would logically not appear on the translator. He found it deeply amusing sometimes how insects believed they were stronger than they actually were. Without any form of natural armor, they were extremely easy to squish, and even the tiniest of projectile weaponry was considered fatal to them.
