Chapter 7: Hotel invasion.

The 5 autobots made their way into the main hotel of the resort. Once they stepped inside, they were amazed by its inside interior. Most of the carpet was red, and they had curved staircases around each side of the back. Some of the furniture even looked like they were made of laminated rocks. Soon, Ratchet started walking up towards the group noticing that they were looking pretty happy.

Ratchet: "Ah, there you are! You look kinda cheery, good news I hope."

Optimus Prime: "Ratchet, We're making great progress on this case."

Hound: "We have 3 suspects on who we think is behind all of this."

Crosshairs pulls up 3 of his fingers while hound said his part.

Hound: "First we got some decepticon named lockdown, who explained the titans that used to protect this island but turned evil, his partner stinger who was heard of at some acrobatics club…"

Drift: "...And some funky decepticon named swindle who mentioned the castle we were just at 5 minutes ago."

Ratchet: "Very impressive, will you continue tomorrow?"

Optimus Prime: "We shall, but let's just re-study what we learned so far."

Hound: "Great Idea boss, I'm gonna go take a quick looky at this mini-cube."

Drift: "And I shall prep up for tomorrow's mission."

Drift and hound give each other a high five before walking off in separate directions. Just then, Dino met up with the autobots again.

Dino: "Ah, crosshairs, you made it! Drinks on me."

Then the rest of the autobots walked off in separate directions, hound sat at the bar to analyze the tiny replica of the allspark. But he was so busy analyzing it that he didn't know that lockdown was watching him from the upper floor. To blend in better, he went over to the piano, cracked his fingers, and played a pleasant toon.

Just then, Brains came up a stood on the counter where Hound was.

Brains: "Hey Houndy boy, how's the analysing going?"

Hound: "Going smashing little man. I just can't understand how-"

But before Hound could finish his sentence, the cube opened up like it was a paper cube. Inside were a few symbols that hound had never seen before.

Brains: "Oooh, what do those mini markings mean?"

Hound: "No idea, maybe they're supposed to mean something."

Meanwhile, lockdown had just finished playing his toon on the piano. Everyone clapped and congratulated him for his performance. Then Optimus Prime stood in a spot in the big room where everyone could see him. Then he raised his hand to get everyone's attention.

Optimus Prime: "Fellow autobots. It is my onar to thank every autobot that has survived to make it to this pleasant island."

Every autobot in the main room applauded for his words.

Optimus Prime: "What still concerns me is about who is behind all the ambushes that the humans are setting. We just gotta figure out who-"

But before Optimus could finish his sentence, a decepticon Titan burst through the big window that was somewhere behind Optimus. It looked identical to the one that bumblebee had interfered with in the forest.

Optimus Prime: "Autobots, evasion action!"

The titan made it's first move on Optimus. Optimus pulled out his rifle and tried to blast it, but the Titan knocked it out of his hands. Then as it pinned him against the ground, it punched him across the face knocking him out.

Drift: "Sensai!"

Ratchet put his hands over his mouth in shock. And instead of fighting like a soldier, bumblebee ran off somewhere.

Almost every autobot soldier in the hotel ran for their lives, but a small bunch stood their ground because they each had blasters. Unfortunately, the titan was able to take some of them out after it shot it's gatling gun at them. Lockdown watched in delight at what the titan was doing.

Suddenly, another titan dropped down from the roof and jumped right in front of hound.

Hound: "You're going down, tin head!"

But before Hound could pull a punch on him, the titan blocked his fist with his hands and took a punch across his face knocking him unconscious.

Crosshairs: "Hound!"

Then the titan started shooting its machine gun towards Dino and crosshairs. The 2 autobots jumped and took cover behind the bar while brains went to help Hound.

Brains: "Hound!"

Brains went up and tried kicking at it's foot, but the titan just tightly gripped him and picked him up in his clutch. Dino and crosshairs poked their heads out from behind the bar and watched everything.

Crosshairs: "Dino, to be honest, this is not how I wanted my trip to this island to go."

Dino: "Same here comrade."

Meanwhile, drift noticed the cube still sitting on the counter. He jumped down from the side of the stairs while doing a front flip and landed on the floor where the cube was. Lockdown had also spotted the cube and got up from the seat of the piano to get it. But drift ran up to the counter and grabbed the cube before lockdown did. Then drift pulled a kick at lockdown strong enough to send him tumbling over the edge.

Then drift ran up in front of Ratchet.

Drift: "Stand back doctor,(pulls out his swords) I'll protect you."

Unfortunately, yet another titan burst through the wall behind Ratchet and wrapped his arms around Ratchet. It pulled him back through the hole it came through while covering his mouth.

Drift: "Ratchet!"

Then the titan came out and tried to grab drift as well. But drift gave it a few slashes of his swords and kicked it back through the hole.

Crosshairs: "Drift, this way!"

Then drift followed Dino and crosshairs towards the side exit.

Crosshairs: "Wait, where's bumblebee!?"

Suddenly, the titan ran back out from the hole in the wall and ran after a few autobot soldiers through a big hallway.

While it chased a couple autobot soldiers, bumblebee snuck forward a few inches hiding under a wooden crate. As the titan stopped by where bumblebee was, he spotted the crate moving away. So he started sneaking up towards the crate with a sneaky smirk on his face.

The titan lifted the crate off of bumblebee, then bumblebee quickly turned around and saw the titan standing behind him.

Bumblebee:(through radio) "Holy cow partner!"

The titan tried swinging his hand at bumblebee, but bumblebee ducked just in time. But when the titan tried to swing his hand at him again, bumblebee grabbed it and pounded his fist on top of it. The impact caused its arm to fall off completely, the titan looked at his broken arm and jumped in shock.

Bumblebee:(through radio) "Later loser."

Then bumblebee ran off down the hallway leaving just a small cloud of dust. The titan just growled and ran after him.

Meanwhile, Dino, Crosshairs, and drift were running along the outside wall of the hotel towards the back. They slid to a stop once they came near the back door.

Drift: "Where's bumblebee?"

Crosshairs: "I don't know, but I hope he's okay."

Then they saw bumblebee run out through the back doorway of the hotel. He stopped, turned his head back towards the door, and took 2 blasts of his bazooka inside the hotel.

Bumblebee:(through radio) "We gotta move!"

Drift: "Hei bumblebee, let us roll out!"

So the 4 autobots quickly transformed into their vehicle forms, and they drove off with drift leading the way. Followed by Dino, then crosshairs, then bumblebee. After they left, the 2 Titans (including the one with the broken arm) ran out of the hotel. But there was no sign of the autobots, so they went back inside to collect their defeated foes.

Out in front of the hotel, the 3 titans dragged the unconscious bodies of Optimus Prime, Ratchet, brains, and hound down the pathway. As they passed a group of giant rocks, Bumblebee, Dino, crosshairs, and drift peeked out from behind them.

Crosshairs: "This has been some night, hasn't it."

Drift: "Who are they, what do they want with the autobots?"

Crosshairs: "I don't know, but I'm not liking it."

Drift: "We gotta go after them."

Crosshairs looked towards drift with a confused look on his face.

Crosshairs: "Say What now?"

Drift: "We still have to save Optimus and the others."

Crosshairs: "I was thinking we could just do nothing and let those brutes eat Optimus and the others."

Drift: "No way, it's our turn to come to the rescue. This time they're the damsels in distress, not me."

A few minutes later, the titans dragged the autobots into the same building that was behind the party area where Hound had been at earlier that night. Bumblebee, Dino, crosshairs, and drift watched as the titans dragged the autobots inside.

Dino: "That be doing it, I shall call for help."

Drift: "No! I got this, I got this."

Suddenly, the doors of the building sealed closed with an automatic lock.

Drift: "Uhh, I don't got this."

Dino: "ugh, you're no Sideswipe."

Dino turned on his audio percepter, but he didn't get a response.

Dino: "scrap! No signal."

Bumblebee:(through radio) "So What now homeys?"

Drift: "We may have to figure out this mystery in the morning.

To be continued.
