Bianna and Kree glanced at each other, waiting with their nerve wires in a rapid icey buzz. Their optics watched the shadowed walls carefully as if waiting for the ship to descend further into the prison complex. The nobs and control's on the control panel casted long, dark shadows in the dim light. Kree's husk trembled, her servos begging to hold on to anything to stop them from shaking. She always hated shadows; they always reminded her of the days at the lab, awaiting for the many various tests. And when Senti realized the ship was carrying too much weight in the front, she immediately told Sari, Kree and Bianna to stay in the control room since they were one of the lighter femmes. Of course, they did as they were told and remained in dimly lit room surrounded by shadows. And to make things just a bit worse, Kree's legs began to ache terribly.
Bianna wanted to talk to her, calm her down to wear she was shaking violently. But she was more afraid of even making a sound would shake the ship.
A low, deep hum of a jet engine brought a mixture of hope and fear into their sparks. Slightly above them, Star cautiously lowered down towards them with his servos extended out to them.
"Grab on to my servos, I'll get all of you out of here." Star promised, bending his legs up so to descend further, allowing Bianna and Kree to grasp each of his servos. Carefully, he lifted them up off their landing pads, gave them a light toss up and wrapped his arms underneath their legs. Sitting bridal style in Star's large arms, they held tightly onto his shoulder pads. Bianna released a sigh of relief, but Kree kept her optics shut tightly and was mumbling at a rapid pace to herself. Star, then, noticed a slightly terrified Sari flying slightly over the control panel. Gesturing for Sari to follow, he carried the two femme's up and out of the ship. He bent down and lowered the femme's down, gently landing on their landing pads. Sari flew out and landed in Bianna's servos.
"Bumblebee's in there, and so are the others." Sari informed, relieved to be out of the ship.
"Try not to move." Star suggested, flying up again. "I'll get the others out."
"Kclayna and a few patients are still in sick bay." Bianna mentioned, observing the still space ship. "She won't leave without them."
"Understood." He looked down at Oilette who had made her way up to the very edge of the ship. Star contemplated for a moment, then lowered down to her level. "I am sorry, but I think it wise you remain here until everyone else is out."
"Got it, just get the others out."
With a nod, Star flew down again and turned down the first corner before the control room. He was surprised to find Blitz, Bumblebee and Blur standing a few yards from one another to even the balance. Bumblebee's mouth valve formed an excited, yet nervous smile.
"Whydontwejustruneveryoneout? Theremustbe-"
"Blitz mute it." Blur scolded in a deep, rough voice print. The ship shook slightly, causing the three mech's to jump. "You know better. With... us running at our speed, we can put others in much... more danger than they already are in."
"Butbrotheryouhavenottestedifyouarestillasfast."
Blitz's words echoed in Blur's audio receptor. He did have a point, Blur's voice was already affected by Shockwave. But he prayed that he was still as fast as he was before his somewhat comatose state.
"Now is not the time to find out." Gasping, Blur looked up to see Star flying above them holding his servos out to them.
"Thank Primas. Thought you'd never get here. What kept ya?" Bumblebee complained in a whispered tone, stretching up and grabbed Star's servo. Blur reached over towards Blitz, grabbed his servo, and carefully pulled him towards him. Blitz picked up speed after passing Blur, which shook the ship slightly and causing Blur and Blitz to fall over. Bumblebee yelped as he was thrown over Star's shoulder pads with Star's servo grasping his wrist. Bumblebee got the hint, and wrapped his other arm around Star's shoulder pad and connected his servos, kinda like an awkward robot piggy-back. Star reached down and pulled Blitz and Blur up by their servos. Carefully, he backed up and headed out of the ship.
Blur began to squirm, his servos slipping out of Star's grasp.
"Slipping! Help!" Blur shouted, squirming faster between Star's servo digits.
"Hold on! Blur stop moving!" Star scrambled to keep Blur in his grasp.
Blur's servo slipped out of Star's, gasping and flailing, he watched Star, Bumblebee and Blitz as he helplessly fell. Then, when it seemed like he was going to fall to his death, Blur felt his husk fall into a pair of strong, purple and silver arms. The ship creaked and sunk deeper into the prison. Blur grasped tighter around the bot's shoulder pads. When the ship came to a halt, Blur looked up and his forehead bonked into the chin plate of his hero.
"Doh!" He cried in a whispered tone, rubbing the sore spot on his head. He was placed on his servos while the other, much taller bot groaned in pain.
"You got a cinder block for a head or something?" He heard her voice print and a chill soared down his back. She lowered her head and looked down at him, rubbing her chin plate. Blur's spark suddenly went still, and his optics locked on her. Her dark purple husk was covered in old and new dents, and scratch's that resembled scar's on a human war veteran. Her dark blue optics regarded him bashfully, she wanted to back up and turn away so he didn't see her faceplate turn bright red. But she knew better. He was attractive, but the feeling that had over come her spark was abnormal. She wasn't certain if she should embrace the feeling or ignore it.
Blur, on the other hand, was so mesmerized by her beauty that he didn't even realize he was being lifted up until she was out of sight. He was placed on the roof along with Blitz and Bumblebee, who was regarding Blur with an amused smirk. Blur looked back up just as Star flew into the ship again, a moment later, he appeared again carrying Wreck-Gar who was shouting excitedly. Both Senti and Bumblebee were thankful Star was smart enough to not place him on the roof. Instead, he placed Wreck-Gar on the edge and told him to freeze. Obediently, Wreck-Gar went stiff and still. And when he went back into the ship again, Blur watched, waiting anxiously for his purple hero to be placed safely next to him. Every time he heard Star's engine, his spark would hum loudly then quickly quieted down when he saw Star was not carrying her. And each time he carried a bot out, the ship sunk lower, making his nerve wires buzz rapidly.
Star counted the bots below him, couldn't help but feel something was missing. He over up at Oilette.
"Kclayna. Where is she?"
"Kclayna and her patients are in the medic bay." Oilette pointed down to the dark halls, most of the doors had been pulled open that he could see. "I think someone is in the engine department, but I can't say for sure."
"Can you hold on til I check?"
"Yeah, just don't like, you know, take all day. I'm starting to get a little stiffed joints."
"I'll try my best."
