It was a struggle to not offline. His vision blacking out only made him start to struggle and thrash more, but a stiff order from a voice of authority made him finally stop. The panic was really, really starting to settle as he prevented himself from struggling. Sure, it would be a bad idea to keep on moving with such a critical wound but he couldn’t lose to this! To one single shot from a blaster.
But authority was still authority, and one of the few things that would get Eject to do anything was to display it. He let Fort Max flip him over, his optics finally, slowly coming back online.
Fine..of course he’d be fine. “Of course I’m gonna be f--” A poor attempt to finish his sentence as his voice dissolved into static as he tried to sit up again despite orders. “Fine! I’ll be fine!” As the cassette did with everything, he fought through the static and pain. The glaring hole in his back that felt like energon was being poured out of, the buzzing in his audio receptors melting and mixing with the buzzing of his vocals and everyone else and everything else.
“You--” HE hated this. “You know it’ll take more than a cowardly SHOT--” He slumped again. Eject wasn’t going to forget this for a long, long time. He’d make Scorponok pay.
