Woop Woop! I'm back baby! Who's ready to see what happens next

The kids gasped in fright as the silent 'con walked towards them and started to move his tentacles around them. The kids moved away afraid that the smallest touch would get them killed.

Amy was holding onto Rick tightly. She didn't notice until Soundwave came up to them and pointed at her and Rick. "S-Sorry." she said as she quickly pulled her hands away from him. Before Rick could say anything, Amy was grabbed by one of Soundwave's tentacles. "Hey! L-Let me go!" Amy said as she thrashed around inside his tentacles hoping that he'll move it a little for her to get out. Soundwave only rolled his optics behind his mask and walked over towards the others. "Now, who's next?" he said in the voice of Megatron.

Most of the kids coward in fear as they ran out the door of the gym. The friends only stood with fright. Soundwave used Starscream's voice to represent a low chuckle. "You must be scared." Soundwave replied as he used Starscream's voice. Amy struggled under Soundwave's grasp. "S-Soundwave, p-please."

"SILENCE!" Soundwave yelled with Megatron's voice as he squeezed her tighter. Amy started to cough a little. Rick became more worried for his friend. He grabbed a ball from the ground and threw it at Soundwave's mask. It didn't do anything. At least that's what Rick thought.

Soundwave stopped what he was doing completely. He turned towards Rick and slammed Amy and the autobots to the ground. "AMY!" the others said as they went towards her. "You're gonna pay for that!" Soundwave said using a mixture of Megatron and Shockwave's voice. He then, forcefully grabbed Rick by the arm with his own bare servos. His claws sucked deep into Rick's metal skin. Energon, was coming out.

Rick was now in unbearable pain. He covered his mouth to shield his cries of pain. "L-Let g-go." Rick said with a ragged voice. Soundwave responded with a simple answer: REQUEST DENIED. Rick was really in trouble now.

Soundwave looked towards the older autobots who were struggling to get up. Soundwave took out his gun and loaded it. He put it against Rick's head. "If any of you move, I'll shoot him!" he said with a mixture of Starscream and Knockout's voice.

The autobots had their guns ready but otherwise, didn't move. If Soundwave didn't have the mask, Rick would see him smirking. Unfortunately, he only had to assume he was smirking. Rick looked back at his friends. They were scared to death. From all the other people around the room, it was Amy's face that almost brought him to tears. She was crying a little but was careful enough not to make any noise. Rick had to do something so she wouldn't be scared.

Rick held up his head towards Amy. 'Chin up girl.' he mouthed to her as she could understand. She got the message and sniffed. She held her head up high and wiped away her tears. Rick smiled at her. Rick winked at her as a way of saying, 'That's my girl.' Amy smiled back. She was gonna be okay.

Soundwave took his tentacles away from everyone and quickly turned into a jet. One of his tentacles was hanging down. They grabbed onto someone. They grabbed onto Rick.

"Whoa, what the-" Rick didn't have time to say as he was being lifted in the air. "Rick!"

"RICK!" Everyone called out to him. Rick tried to reach for them but he knew it was no use. He and Soundwave were now over 70 feet in the air. Before Soundwave could fly away, Soundwave turned on his megaphone and said in Megatron's voice, "Bring me the artifacts. Or he dies at dawn." he said referring to Rick as the plane started. A few seconds later, Rick and Soundwave were both out of sight.

A few hours later

School came out early and Amy was inside of her father Optimus Prime. Optimus was driving her back home in his vehicle mode. Amy couldn't bring herself to even speak to her father. Not because she hated him right now. But because her friend. Her best friend. Was gone.

She felt a few tears roll down her optics. She quickly wiped them away so her dad wouldn't notice. Unfortunately, he did. "Amy, don't cry. Rick will be alright." Her father said trying to comfort her. Amy wasn't in the mood. She wanted to scream and thrash around in her father's vehicle mode. But she knew his angry will only cause more pain. She only sniffed and kept quiet.

As Optimus arrived back home, Amy walked out of her father as Optimus transformed. "Amy, look at me." Optimus said with a stern tone. Amy did as she was told. Optimus bent down on one knee and looked at his little femme. "You're stronger than this. Just like your carrier." Optimus said as he put his servo on Amy's shoulder blade. Amy sniffed a little. "Yeah, I know." she said as Optimus smiled at her and picked her up. He kissed her cheek to make her giggle and opened the door to there house.

As Optimus walked inside, he placed Amy on her bed. "Why don't you get some sleep. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Optimus said as he kissed her forehead. "Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Is Rick gonna be okay?" Amy asked with sad optics. Optimus sighed and patted her helm. "We're...still unsure. But we'll find him honey. I promise." Optimus said as he gave her another kiss on her forehead and walked out of her room.

Amy looked down in sadness. She lost her best friend. Soundwave took him away from them. He was so sweet and so kind to people. He always stood up for her. She wiped away a new tear. She laid her head on her cybertronian pillow. She had to calm down. She had to. For Rick.

That's it. For Rick. For everyone. Before Rick was taken, he told her to keep her head up high. He was gonna be alright. He had to be alright. And she knew just how to do it. She was gonna find him.

Amy stood up from her bed with a determined look. "We'll find you." she said to herself. She kept her promise. She was gonna find him. She was gonna bring him home. She was gonna hug him and kiss- okay maybe not kiss but hug him to death because she'll be so happy to see him.

Her optics shot open. She had to get to work. She had to get her map of Kaon she swiped from her sire's office one time and never returned it. She had to make plans. She had to-

"Amy, dinner's ready!" Optimus yelled from downstairs. Amy smelled the flavored energon. Mmmm, it smelled so good. Okay, she'll eat first, then she'll come up with a plan. She quickly formed a smile on her face and transformed into her motorcycle mode. She then raced down stairs into the kitchen.

Looks like Amy's gonna do whatever it takes to get her soon to be boyfriend back.
