Okiez, new chapter! Come back a couple days from now for a new one

--------------------------

Down, deep below the city Viper sulked to herself, complained and thought.
"Ok, ok," she sat herself down on the metal bed
"How do I get out of here? Bars are electrified,"
she flicked the bars and got a little shock
"ow."
She stood and paced. A few hours ago she was creating quite a racket by throwing herself against the cell walls and she almost chewed through the bars, so close to escaping.
It did not take long for her to be moved to a new cell, with of course electrified bars, just for her. Now there had to be some other way to get out.
"Damnit!" Viper dug her claws into the wall
"I didn't do anything and now I'm in jail!" she ferociously attacked the wall with her strong claws. She paused. It took a moment to process through her mind.
"Oh my." She plucked her claws from the metal.
There was a three inch hole where she had taken her anger out on
"Well that was cool." She mumbled, starting to claw at it some more
"This is starting to hurt." She flexed her fingers "Oooh I know!"
she stretched out on the floor "rest time."
A depressing sigh escaped her jaws as her optics went offline.
What she missed was the red optics glaring at her in the cell across the hall.
There was a whistle in the air which shortly ended after a howling roar echoed through the jail. Viper was up on her hind legs, ripping a dart from her arm joint.
The vial was almost empty; studying the liquid her arm became numb.
The foriegn liquid flowed through her energon tubes, running through her whole system.
Slowly her legs began feeling numb. Sliding down to the ground she became paralysed, soon after her optics began getting blurry.
Across the hall she could see a transformer loom out of the darkness.
There was a flash and a wave of heat as the bars clattered to the cold floor.
"Dunzzt flootch me." Her words were obviously slurred
"I'm not going to hurt you, Viper." The voice was deep, yet soothing.
A hand took her head, the other touched her back. Carefully the hands curled her up comfortably as her blurred vision went black.

Megatron had returned to his base to think over some possible plans. Snowcat appeared
"Megatron sir! The Autobots are out and about!"
"Hm?" he turned around "Where?"
"They're far from Earth, too far. I have absolutely no idea what they're doing. Well I guess they would be checking out the huge, odd looking space station they found."
Megatron sounded more interested "Really? We're going after them."
he walked out of the room, calling back to Snowcat
"Hurry up!"
Snowcat began walking slowly after his leader with a sigh and a grumbling protest.
A long tubular cord shot out from the floor and his Snowcat directly on his bottom
"Ow!" he didn't hesitate to start running.

Deep in space, Optimus and the rest of the Autobot team looked upon a large structure.
It was a temporary space station of some unknown origin. It didn't belong to the Autobots. Defiantly not from the Decepticons, perhaps Alpha Q's? Hard to say.
"It looks abandoned" Hotshot pointed out
"You think Rodimus would set up anything like this?" Inferno looked at everyone
"Doubt it, let's go exploring inside, and see what we find." Optimus headed towards the space station with everyone in behind.
Not too far off at their flanks a dark portal opened up, dumping the Decepticons then disappearing.
"That was a sudden stop." Snowcat piped up
"The Autobots, sir." Demolisher pointed to the smaller figures directly in front of the large structure.
Megatron smirked and shot off towards his enemies.

Meanwhile Hotshot had managed to find a door.
"It's not opening" he pounded the thick plates.
"Hm, perhaps if we..." Optimus slid his hand upon the hull, suddenly the doors slide open. Jetfire, Ironhide and Hotshot stared at him
"Lucky guess?" he looked around "Let's get moving"
All four of them cautiously entered the space station.
Once fully inside the doors slowly began to close.

"The doors are closing!" Tidalwave said in his usual monotone voice
"I know that you dolt! Start firing!" Megatron ordered
Immediately the space station doors were peppered with laser fire, the metal glowing a hot red wherever hit
Optimus stood in front of the small opening left between the doors.
"Travel ahead, I'll block the lasers!"
"But sir!" Jetfire began to protest but Optimus yelled "Go!" silencing them all, the three were off further down the hall, waiting for him there.
Megatron could see Optimus blocking the way and continued to fire.
Optimus, the fearless leader fired back until the doors shut completely, sending a shudder through the whole station.
Returning to the rest of the team, Optimus leaned against the wall for only a moment
"you ok sir?" asked Hotshot
"I'm fine." He stood tall
"Really different around here. I mean, I've never seen anything like it before."
Jetfire patted the wall
"really?" Optimus began walking down the rest of the hall to explore some more, his three team mates following close behind.
"What was that?!" Hotshot pointed out a shadow that has ran across the front of the hallway.
Optimus motioned for silence.
Standing in the hallway of a potential enemies station, Optimus, Hotshot, Inferno, and Jetfire listened carefully. There were hushed whispers and odd clicking sounds.
After a few minutes it went deathly quiet. Too quiet.
The walls were a dark navy blue colour with a shimmer of gold.
Tubes overlapped each other. The floor had purple lights that gave off very little light.
The ceiling was solid black. Odd shapes moved across the walls.
The Autobot team were slow, almost stalking an unseen figure.
"I've got a bad feeling about this." Inferno's finger tightened on the trigger
There was a sudden wave of smoke that hit them head on.
That was the last thing they saw before going into stasis lock.
