Starscream cursed under his breath, trying to hoist himself up using the branches, keeping away from Trowa. Slag this, slag it all, this was ridiculous. With proper air and if he hadn't been talking the boy would have been dead, just...

... well, perhaps not dead. Skyfire would be very upset if he killed the young human. And upset that he'd gotten in a fight at all. Still... though these human bodies were less durable than he was used to, they seemed able to take quite a bit of punishment before actually dying...

He got himself up a little higher, but that was obviously not going to work. Still, while he might be grounded, his lasers still worked. Mostly. He aimed a shot at Trowa, trying for the human's shoulder. Unfortunately, it was a fairly weak blast - all force, no heat, a punch at range, and not much of one at that.
