"So, your positive this is the last place you saw Coby and the others before they disappeared?"
"Yeah, it was right in the middle of the race."
"I thought Scattershot said that they were ok. So there's no need to worry about them."
"No, no, no." Bud shook his head and sighed. He had just recently heard from Scattershot that Hot Shot, Coby, Override, and Lori had all ended up in another dimension.
Without him.
Which, by the way, angered Bud, a lot. He needed to find a way to get to where Coby was. So the most obvious place to start looking would be the place they were last at. "Look, whenever some one tells you 'not to worry' or 'everything is perfectly fine', they actually mean, 'We need Help.'" He explained to Jolt, "And were going to help them!"
"It didn't sound like they were asking for help." Clocker said, "I bet Hot Shot has everything under control anyway!"
"Yeah, that's what they want you to think. Like in all those secret agent movies, the good guys are always lying about being in trouble to protect those closest to them. But in reality, they are the ones that need protecting."
"And how are we supposed to do that, Bud-dude?" Jolt asked.
"Simple. We are going to warp to their location!"
"You can do that?"
"No, but you can!" Bud exclaimed.
"What?" Jolt panicked, "But I've never done something like that before! Sure I've been able to warp, but not to a whole other dimension! So many things could go wrong! What if we get trapped between worlds or stuck in some parallel universe! Plus, we need to tell someone about this first, or they will get worried!"
"Relax. I'm not asking for some big warp gate thing, just something small for the both of us." Bud turned to Clocker, "And you can cover for us. You can also keep thing under control here, It would be a big help to Hot Shot you know!"
There was a glint of confidence in Clocker's eyes. "You really think so?"
"Definitely!"
"But Bud-dude." Jolt tried to get Bud's attention. "I don't even know where we are going! I need coordinates, without that-"
Bud sighed once more. "Look, remember in that cartoon we watched yesterday, how those guys were able to trace to where the bad guys had teleported. They traced the... re... resid..." He thought for a moment. "Oh right, the residual energy signature thingies. So you should be able to do the same thing!"
"Well, I could give it a try..." Jolt considered the facts. "Alright, let's do this!"
"Yeah! Let's get this show on the road... or something! Operation Rescue Team is a go!" Bud cheered.
Jolt happily started spinning his rotors, generating a small warp field. Clocker watched as a bright light filled his optics, only to reveal that Bud and Jolt had disappeared. It didn't take long for Clocker to start thinking that this wasn't such a good idea after all.
"So Jolt. Any idea where we are?" Bud asked as he surveyed the area. When the light faded, the two had found them selves in what seemed to be a never ending forest.
"Well, my scanners a telling me that we are on... earth." Jolt replied with disappointment.
"What!? We've only made it earth!? That's not fair!" Bud kicked a few rocks out of anger.
"But Bud-dude, we could have landed on a different earth. No need to get upset just yet!" Jolt tried to explain.
Bud looked up, "You really think so?" He straightened up, cleared his voice and pointed directly at Jolt. "Alright soldier, we are in unknown territory, the best course of action would be to scout the place out!"
"Agreed." Jolt saluted Bud and transformed. "We could get a better look from up in the sky."
"Good idea, now let's go rescue the others!"
Don't come back until you've find out something useful.
"Something useful huh..." Dreadwing mumbled to himself. He had begun to fly over some sort of forest, trying to decide the best course of action. Of course, he wouldn't be in this mess if that accursed Autobot had been delayed. Useless troops, now Megatron has begun to lose faith in him. His second in command and most loyal servant, well, aside from Soundwave.
Speaking of Soundwave, that transmission to peak his curiosity. 'Cybertron has been abandoned for ages now. So why would the Autobots have a command center there? Or, at least one that is still functional.'
A small signal appeared on his scanners. How odd, it didn't resemble that first two Soundwave located, and it certainly wasn't and Autobot or Decepticon signal either. So what could it be? "Lord Megatron." Dreadwing spoke through the comlink, "I'm pursuit of an unknown signal." He signed off and speed up, not wanting to mess this up.
"How long is this going to take..."
"We've only been flying for 10 minutes Bud-dude."
"But it feels like we've been at this for hours." Bud complained, he hadn't realized how long this rescue mission was actually going to take.
"Well, we might have to search the entire planet before we find them. For all we know, we could be in an entirely different dimension, or they could be off world somewhere." Jolt suggested.
"Don't remind me." Bud noticed a small blinking red light in the scanner, followed by an alarm. "It looks like some one is closing in on us."
"Um... Bud-dude. You might want to look forward."
Bud looked up, to his surprise, a large jet was actually heading straight for them! "Ah!" Bud yelled, "Take evasive action!"
"Which is?"
"DIVE!"
I know this one is short, but I'm planning some thing big for the next few chapters so...
Also, no, i didn't forget about Jetfire. He will be here soon.
Thank you so much for reading!
