Chapter 8: morning ambushes.

Early the next morning, bumblebee, Dino, crosshairs, and drift had spent the night parked in the autobot island parking lot.

Suddenly, a volleyball bounced hardly against drifts window slightly cracking it. Drift then transformed into his robot form, and he could still feel the pain from the volleyballs bounce.

Drift: "Aye! Watch where you throw…..

Drift was cut off when he unexpectedly turned towards the islands main hotel building. Everything looked to be in good shape when it was supposed to be all busted up from the attack last night.

Drift: "Comrades, wake up."

Bumblebee, Dino, and crosshairs all transformed into their robot forms, and stood amongst drift in the parking lot.

Dino: "Man, that was thee worst night of my life."

Crosshairs: "Tell me abou…..

Crosshairs was cut off when he saw the perfectly clean scenery.

Crosshairs: "Uhh, What happened to all the shattered windows and busted walls?"

Suddenly, a female autobot soldier walked towards the 4 amongst her friends that were playing volleyball.

Female autobot: "Yo slick, the ball."

Drift then sidekicked the ball towards the others.

Drift: "Let's move."

So bumblebee, Dino, and crosshairs followed drift away from the parking lot and a little deeper into the resort.

As the 5 autobots came over to where a pool party was being hosted, everything looked like it was going smoothly. But drift knew that something was wrong.

Drift: "Alright, let's split up."

Bumblebee and crosshairs each gave drift a confused look.

Drift: "We still have to find sensei and the others."

Dino: "Okay, I'll search the south side."

Then Dino quickly walked past drift to do his part of the search.

Crosshairs: "And we'll go with you."

Drift suddenly pointed his sword behind bumblebee and crosshairs, demanding them to search in that direction. So bumblebee and crosshairs shamefully walked in that direction for their part of the search.

Bumblebee and crosshairs searched through the faint crowd of partying autobots, and bumblebee was nearly pulling ahead of crosshairs because he was kinda in a hurry to find Optimus.

Crosshairs: "Bee, slow down! I know you're eager at finding Optimus, but it's not like he's gonna show up outta nowhere."

Bumblebee lowered his head in sadness, but it didn't last very long.

Decepticon soldier #1: Well well well, look what we've got here."

As bumblebee and crosshairs quickly turned to their left, about 8 decepticon soldiers emerged from behind a few bushes and palm trees.

Decepticon soldier #2: You boys looking for something?"

Crosshairs: "Yes, our leader Optimus Prime."

Decepticon soldier #1: "Too bad rango! He's not yours anymore, so you'll just have to do without a leader."

While crosshairs was utterly shocked by the insult, bumblebee softly pounded his fist in his palm towards the decepticons.

Decepticon soldier #2: these guys really have it going."

Decepticon soldier #1: Shut it Dave, I got that!"

While the 2 decepticon soldiers were arguing, crosshairs saw that he had a chance to make a move. So almost without thinking, he quickly pulled out both his pistols and shot at the soldiers faces.

Crosshairs: "Bee, run!"

So as bumblebee and crosshairs fled from the soldiers, the soldiers had just finished shaking off the pain from crosshairs's attack.

Decepticon soldier #1: "Stop them!"

So the group of decepticon soldiers chased after bumblebee and crosshairs.

Meanwhile, drift was just quickly walking out from the back of a resort building. But as he started running again, he accidentally bumped into Stinger.

Stinger: "Well hello."

Before drift was able to make an attempt to attack, stinger through a strong forceful punch across his face. The impact caused drift to collapse to the ground, and he laid unconscious there. Stinger then saw the mini cube laying next to drift, so he picked it up and clutched it tight in the fingers in his right hand.

Stinger: "Ha-Ha, lockdown will be pleased."

So he grabbed drift by both his ankles, and he dragged him along the ground as he walked off.

Back with bumblebee and crosshairs, the decepticon soldiers had chased them all the way to a slightly small warehouse. As bumblebee and crosshairs were running inside, bumblebee turned back at the decepticons for a few seconds to take 3 shots at them with his bazooka. Then as they closed the doors behind them, the decepticons tried to break In. So they tried smashing their blasters against the door and front windows. One of them even grabbed crosshairs neck while sticking it's hand through one of the windows, but bumblebee was trying successfully to swat away the one that tried to grab him.

Bumblebee:(through radio) "Why are people in such a bad mood today!"

Crosshairs: "Because they're decepticons bolt brain!"

Suddenly after crosshairs broke free from the hand that grabbed him, 2 or 3 decepticon soldiers leaped onto the roof of the warehouse and smashed their fists against the roof. Crosshairs thought for a moment, then he got an idea.

Crosshairs: "I may not be Optimus, but….Transform and roll out!"

So bumblebee and crosshairs quickly transformed into their vehicle forms, they revved their engines. Then they burst through the warehouse doors and quickly sped away from the decepticons.

As they went further up the road, crosshairs drove ahead of bumblebee. Then Dino joined them by driving in his red ferrari form down from a curved road that connected to the one that bumblebee and crosshairs were on. He drove along with them alongside crosshairs.

Dino: "I'm here now! Wait, where's your samurai friend?"

Crosshairs: "No time to think through that, we got cons on our tail!"

As he was right, 4 decepticon soldiers were rapidly running a few yards behind the 3 autobots.

Dino quickly transformed into his robot form, then he stood firmly on crosshairs's roof. He pulled out his sniper, and he shot at the decepticon that was the closest. The decepticon soldier tumbled to the ground, and he crashed into the other soldiers causing 3 of them to tumble against each other.

But the remaining soldier took a shot at the side of Dino's chest. As the bullet bounced against the side of Dino's chest, Dino wavingly flinched from the impact as it blew off a very small part from that spot. But Dino was able to shoot him down as well.

Dino: "Oye, that may leave a mark."

Crosshairs: "Those were some good shots though."

After Dino appreciated the comment, he transformed back into his vehicle form. Then they continued on through the jungly road.

To be continued.
