Red Alert screeched to a halt, nearly throwing the humans out the window. Inferno pulled up beside him. "What's the matter Red?"
"A canyon." Red Alert whispered. "This isn't good. This really isn't good. He might of set up a trap-"
Inferno growled in frustration. "Alright, lets go slowly then. But, if we can't fight Disngenu we're going have to hurry a little." Red Alert hesitated, torn, but he cautiously began inching ahead.
They got halfway through the canyon without incident. Then, at the narrowest part, something dropped from above.
Red Alert screamed in agony as the top, delicate layer was crushed. Inferno changed into a mech, lifting the rock off. "Red, are you alright?" Inferno asked, pain and fear making his accent thick and heavy.
"Yeah, but, my black plate is damaged. I'm not sure whether I can change." Red Alert gasped, quivering on his struts.
Inferno snarled in fury as his hands gently ran across the plate in question. "I can straighten it out a little, but the humans need to get out. Or, at least put down your window Red."
Red Alert's windows rolled down, and he tried not to flinch as Infernos fingers reached in, and began trying to straighten out the plate. When it was mostly straight, Red Alert interrupted, "That'll have to do. We still have to get through the rest of the canyon."
Inferno nodded, motioned. "You keep on going. I'll follow like this."
Red Alert began moving foreword once more, as Michelle asked, "Are you going to be OK?"
Brian felt the most unreasonable flash of jealousy. After all, she was talking to a giant robot. But, from what he knew, she was amazing enough to find some way of making love to a robot if she could- hastily he cut off that thought. Brian wondered why, out of all people he should fall for, and in so little time, it would be her. But, then again, being cooped up in a car with the same person for several days brought to attention several details.
Red Alert replied softly, snapping Brian out of his brooding thoughts. "Yes, I will be OK. It would be best that I get medical attention as soon as possible, for I cannot change into my true form."
Brian placed a hand on the dashboard. "I'm sorry for your pain. We would straighten it out if we could, but we do not have the strength."
"Well, as soon as we can stop, we can crawl out the window, so that way Inferno doesn't have to worry about damaging us."
Brian looked at the windows and nodded. It would work. It would be uncomfortable to be sure, but still… CRASH! Michelle shouted, Red Alert cried out, and Infernos scream of fury could be heard before they were drowned out by a wave of darkness.

Disingenu nodded, and brought up the weapon. The thing called a fish net truly did catch prey, and catch it well. Red Alert was stuck in his car form, and Inferno was tangled up in the net. Disingenu strode down to where they were.
The smile that curved his faceplate was utterly cold. Inferno growled as he thrashed against the webbing, frustrated. He couldn't point his weapons at Disingenu. Raw anger and hatred rose up inside of him, even as Red Alert backed up slightly in his car form. "Red, get out of here!" Inferno roared. "Get to Prime!"
Red Alert seemed about ready to obey; when he did the stupidest, bravest, most impulsive thing he had ever done in his life.
With a sudden, rumbling roar, Red Alert charged, slamming into the legs of Disingenu.
Disingenu, not expecting this at all, swayed slightly, and nearly toppled. Red Alert spun away, engine revving loudly. Inferno yelled, cheering his buddy on. Red Alert charged again, once again hitting the legs of Disingenu, only to spin away and stay there, idling slightly.
The door beside Michelle, and on the opposite side of the two mechs opened. Michelle hopped through, dragging Brian along. He was just light enough that she could barely lift him. She charged for cover, and Red Alert charged once more. Michelle glanced around for something to cut with, and her eyes fell on Brian. "Brian," she hissed, "BRIAN! Wake UP!"
Brains eyes fluttered open, looking into hers. At another time, her heart may have been doing flip-flops, but now was not the time. "We have to help Inferno!"
Brians gaze moved to where she was pointing, "I have a knife, strapped to my ankle as a weapon against thieves. It might work." He whispered, and fumbled to get his knife out.
Michelle watched for a moment, before hissing, "Here, just let me do it. You just make sure that the Decepticon or whatever it is doesn't catch sight of you. Or I will kill you personally." The first smile she had ever seen twisted on Brians face.
"Huh, I'd think that the Decepticon would kill me first."
"I'll drag you back from the dead and kill you myself." She promised solemnly. "So don't you dare get seen."
Brian nodded, and leaned against the rock, eyes searching for a better place to hide. Michelle placed the knife between her teeth like she saw in the movies, and began inching her way towards Inferno.

Red Alert charged again, as he kept Disingenu's attention away from the two humans. He wondered if he should try to change for a few moments, then decided not to. He was no match. Disingenu however, was anticipating him now, and he moved deftly out of the way.
Red Alert changed, trying not to show the pain that went through his tortured back panels. Disingenu smirked as he said softly, "This is the first time you've ever tried actual fighting."
Red Alert said nothing, and shifted into a battle stance. Out of the corner of his optics he could see Michelle sawing at Inferno's bonds, slowly freeing him. He had to keep Disingenu distracted…
Disingenu fired, the spray of bullets headed towards the legs. Red Alert jumped, his own rocket launching off. Disingenu seemed to merely tut, and charged, dodging the missile as easy as a child dodges a tree branch on their favorite path.
His hand reached out, spinning Red Alert around so that he was trapped against his chest. "Wow Red, I believe I like you much better like this." He purred into Red Alerts auditory receptors.
Red Alert struggled in vain. Disingenu easily held him down with one arm. Red Alert hissed back, "And I believe I hate you even more."
"Hate is such a strong word." Disingenu remarked casually, ignoring Infernos screams to let Red Alert go. The arm keeping Red Alert trapped against him was shifted to that it was holding Red Alerts waist, and the other hand moved the chassis apart.
Disingenu gently stroked the spark, hearing Red Alert moan and tremble beneath his touch. "And I think I'm going to have fun breaking you." Disingenu whispered softly, eyes glinting in triumph.
Red Alerts foot slammed into Disingenu's leg in one last-ditch attempt to get away. Disingenu laughed, as his tongue flicked out, running up Red Alerts sensitive horns. "Come now Red, I know all your sensitive areas. I'll have you begging for more in no time."
Inferno screamed in agony and hatred behind Disingenu as he casually lifted Red Alert into his arms. "I'll come back to you Inferno in a few hours or so. First I'm off to go have some fun with Red Alert."
Inferno hurled threats after Disingenu, trying to claw his way towards the moaning Red Alert. "Don't you dare! Don't you dare touch him you –"
Michelle began sawing rapidly at the ropes, as she felt a sudden, chilling fear for Red Alert. She didn't understand what was going on. Most of the talk was in cybertronian, but Michelle got the feeling that whatever Disingenu was doing was not good.

Brian watched him go, and started after. Michelle could saw through Inferno's bonds... Disingenu reappeared, hands empty. Inferno glared, a rumbling, angry growling rising from his voice box, and spreading through the air.
Disngenu tutted as he bent down so he could look Inferno in the optics. "Now, now, did you really expect me to rape him?"
Inferno blinked confused. That was what the jerk had tried to do last time… "Oh no, I'm going to do it right in front of you." Disingenu smiled at the look of pure horror that crossed Infernos face.
"You're going to watch me, and your going to see his squirm and beg for more." Disingenu hissed, optics glinting. "And when I'm done, maybe I'll do you to."
Michelle finished sawing through the net enough that Inferno could slip out the rest of the way.
Inferno charged Disingenu, his gun coming out from nowhere.
