Crash landing
"Optimus!" Prowl suddenly shouted from the main monitor, causing Bumblebee and Bulkhead to jump and lose concentration, losing the game. "We have a Decepticon ship heading towards Detroit fast."
"Do we know who it is?" Optimus asked, now standing beside Prowl.
"No. but it doesn't look like much of a threat." Prowl replied, tapping a few more keys to zoom in on the out of control ship. "There's a signal coming from it."
"Open it up." Optimus instructed.
Prowl accessed the signal quickly, the rest of the team gathering to hear what it was saying.
"Mayday! Mayday! We're a group of four Autobots trying to escape the Decepticon Blitzwing. We've lost one out of our three engines and are falling fast. Oh where are they?"
"Patch me onto the frequency!" Optimus commanded, worried for the four's safety. "This is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots stationed here. I'm advising you to head towards the water. It'll be a softer landing."
"Our steering is a little off at the moment but we'll try our best."
"Ok. We'll-" Optimus started saying before Lugnut butted in.
"You shall not escape us this time!" he bellowed before launching a baron of missiles at them.
The Autobot cursed in cybertronian as he saw the missiles on the radar.
"mayday! We have to younglings aboard this ship! I repeat! WE HAVE YOUNGLINGS ON BOARD THIS SHIP!"
"Autobots! Roll out immediately!" Optimus commanded.
The team transformed and raced as fast as they could to save the ship. Once they heard that there were two younglings on board, they were instantly worried about the safety of the four. As they sped to the sea, they could see both Blitzwing and Lugnut firing at the damaged ship. The purple ship had just managed to get above the water when Blitzwing had the great idea of flying through the ship, snapping it in half. The engines of the ship exploded in the air before dropping to the water in a ball of flames. The helpless Autobots could only watch until they got close enough to help. The police force and Sari had gathered at the water's edge, keeping the curious people away.
"Guys!" Sari shouted to the transforming Autobots. "What's going on?"
"A small team of Autobots stole a Decepticon ship to escape." Optimus replied. "Ratchet, stay up here. They may be injured. The rest of you with me!"
"After that attack, I have no doubt that they'll be seriously wounded." Ratchet mumbled to himself.
The four dived into the water, sinking to the bottom. They looked around the scattered ship parts, some black from the explosion. They swam around, moving the debris to find the missing bots, trying to hurry in case some were almost critical. However, they weren't having much luck in the search.
"Boss bot!" Bulkhead shouted.
Optimus swam over to Bulkhead, hearing a whining creak as Bulkhead lifted a large part of the wing above an unconscious femme. Optimus gently pulled her out and quickly swam to the surface to give her to Ratchet to check over her. The Prime gently lowered the small femme to the floor on the quiet boardwalk, in front of Ratchet. Ratchet instantly dropped to his knees, scanning the femme for injuries. As he did that, Bulkhead resurfaced with a much larger mech over his shoulder, followed by Prowl and Bumblebee.
"We can't find the other two." Prowl informed sadly.
"At least you saved two!" Sari tried to help.
"But we could've saved them all!" Optimus sighed.
Ratchet had managed to online the femme, who instinctively jumped back in alarm at the strange face. She jumped to her feet, unsheathing a replica to Optimus's axe. She waved the axe at Optimus when he got closer to comfort her. Optimus pulled out his own axe, frowning at how she had a similar one.
"Laser-eye. Calm down." The other Autobot said softly to the femme.
"What have you done to my sister and my guardian?" Laser-eye spat.
"Nothing." Optimus replied, putting away his axe and holding his hands up in defence. "We tried searching . . ."
"You didn't look hard enough!" she spat and went to dive in the water, but the larger mech was much faster, even for his size, and stopped her, wrapping his arms around her. "Crash! Let. Me. Go!"
"ZiZi is with her. She'll be fine," Crash reassured the panicking bot.
"Prowl to Optimus."
"Prowl? Where are you?" Optimus frowned, only now noticing that he had vanished.
"there's a warehouse a few blocks away on fire. I found two life signals coming from it when i scouted around the edge. One of the signals are low."
"We're on our way!" Optimus shut off the com link. "Prowl has found them."
The team raced to the burning building, with Laser-eye running in front. Crash had to try and run faster to prevent her from heading into the building. The flames lapped six foot above the high roof of the building.
"Help the fire department douse the flames, I'm going in." Optimus ordered.
As soon as he entered the building, he felt the intense heat slap him in the face. He used his extinguishers in his arms to create a path, occasionally being sprayed by the fire department outside. As he scouted around, he found no sign of Prowl. But he was following the weak life signal. The heat was making it unbearable as his systems tried to cool down his frame. He eventually spotted Prowl on a beam above his head. He looked like he was talking to someone, or coaxing them towards him.
"Prowl!" Optimus shouted up.
"There's a white bot under the rubble in front of you, he's got a low spark pulse but I can't get to him. I'm trying to get one of the younglings from this beam up here."
"Got it." Optimus nodded and sprayed the rubble with water before trying to move it.
After failing to move the large beams with his servos, he got out his axe and slashed his way through the rubble. He quickly found the damaged, black, white and blue Autobot. He carefully put the Autobot over his shoulder, being careful of any injuries the bot may have sustained. He sprinted out using the path he had made into the bright sunshine. He carefully and gently lowered the mech to the floor in front of Ratchet, who was instantly trying to stop the energon leaking out. Laser-eye and Crash knelt beside their injured comrade, with Crash wrapping an arm around the femmes shoulders as she touched the damaged mech's shoulder.
But no one expected the warehouse to explode in a ball of flames and collapse to the ground.
"PROWL!" Optimus shouted.
As the dust and smoke settled, still floating up towards the sky, a dark figure emerged from the smoke. Prowl carried the other young femme in his arms, who clung to Prowl tightly.
"8-bit!" Laser –eye cheered in relief.
8-bit timidly turned her head towards the sound of her name. Her yellow and blue optics jumping from bot to bot and from human to human, tightening her grip on Prowl's neck in fear.
"They won't hurt you. They're my friends." Prowl reassured softly.
After that, she loosened her grip on him, letting him out her down. She soon fell to her knees in front of Ratchet, frowning in worry at their team mate.
"He's stable. But we better get him back to base to be repaired properly." Ratchet suggested.
whoo!
