Nya's eyes widen the moment she made direct eye contacted with the seeker commander. "Dang it!" She jumped down from the branch she was lying on and bolted in to the forest. "SCREAMER GET OUT OF HERE!"
She heard the sound of a jet engine take off and someone shouting, "Catch the human! I'll handle Starscream!"
Nya swerved in between the trees, she knew that she couldn't out run them, but she could still put some distance between them. However, it wasn't long before she heard the sounds of heavy metallic feet pounding behind her. She didn't look back, as she quickly slid down a slope and ducked behind some large rocks.
She slipped into a small crack in between the rocks. The heavy metallic steps became closer and closer. She held her breath and became still as a statue, hoping that the viehcons wouldn't think to look for her there. Slowly but sure the steps began to quiet as the viehcons moved away from her.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear them anymore, "ok, Nya you've been in far worse situations before. Just collect yourself. Ok they are maybe twenty times my sizes, they're stronger…faster…and can turn into jets. I'm screwed." She slipped out of the crack, "No, I can't start thinking like that. What do I have? 4 shots in my hand gun, I know the land, and I…Wait that's i…"
She gave a quick, sharp gasp and collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest. Her heart was racing, and it rattled against her chest, making it difficult to breath. "No, not here, not now."
The world around her suddenly began to melt together. The blue of the sky and the brown of the earth began to merge with one another, into a swirly soup, that had no rhyme or reason. Her body felt like it was being twisted indifferent directions. She shut her eyes and just waited for it to be over.
After a few moments she opened her eyes the world was normal, she was lying on the ground, a cold sweat coated her body. "Did I fall?" she said as she picked herself up.
She groaned, there was still a sharp pain in her chest. The shrapnel in her chest had obviously been disturbed in her panic.
"I have to be more careful." She took a deep breath, "Ok, now what am I going to do?"
The two large silver figures, stomped around the woods.
"Here Human! Human! Human!" Shouted one of the viehcons.
"What are you doing?" Said the other, as he held his shot out eye.
"I saw this on the earthlings' 'internet'. Its apparently works on domestic felines."
"Why would something that works on domestic felines, work for humans? Aren't they a completely different earthling classification?"
"I don't know! Do you have any better ideas?"
Nya was crouching behind large rocks, watching the Viehcons, who were both now shouted "Here Human! Human! Human!"
"These poor guys' lives…" Nya thought, starting to feel bad about what she was going to do.
She quickly moved forward, careful to not to make to much noise or be seen. Taking a position nearby a bunch of frail dead trees, she grabbed a small stone and threw it right in the middle of the trees; making the leaves on the ground crunch.
"Over there!" said one of the viehcons.
A mischievous smile grew across her face as both viehcons ran right where she needed them to be. She slipped towards one of the trees, and used her legs to kick the trunk.
"There's nothing here. It must have been a small forest rodent."
The viehcons were starting to leave. Nya panicked she stopped kicking and jumped on the trunk, causing the tree's weak roots to finally give out. The cracking sound of a tree falling, quickly followed. The viehcons looked up at the tree falling rapidly towards them. They tried to get out of the way however the viehcon, who only had on eye, didn't manage get out of the way. He was thrown to the ground and crushed under the tree.
The other viehcon looked up at where the tree came from, he only saw the rocks and dirt Nya had disturbed as she ran off. Nya didn't look behind her but she could hear the sound of heavy footsteps following her. She made a sharp turn right, heading towards and abandoned quarry on the property. When she got there, she immediately ducked behind some of the large white marble stones.
The viehcon arrived at the quarry. He looked around the white and silvery grey quarry, looking for any sign of the human female.
"I know you're here and I will find you!" he shouted. He began to stalked around the quarry, his flaming red eyes, scanning the area.
Her back was pressed against a large cold stone. She was praying that the viehcon didn't see her as he walked past. Slowly but surly the sound of heavy footsteps grew quiet. She took a deep breath and was about to set her plan into motion. Suddenly there was another sharp pain in her chest, she fell back against the cold rough stone, panting. The shrapnel was acting up again, she had to stop running, but she couldn't. She breathed deeply, this attack wasn't as bad as the one before, she managed to stay on her feet and remained conscious.
Nya took one final breath, the pain almost gone, and quickly began to dash in-between the loose stones. She kept an eye on the viehcon, but as the same time she made sure she was covered by the dark veil of shadows that rested in the cracks. All the way to a specific place on the left side of the quarry.
The quarry was an old marble mine that was abandoned years before Nya's grandfather, bought it. For the most part it was a bunch of silvery grey stones, old rusty mining equipment, all of them relatively safe, however there was one part of the quarry that was different. As far as she knew there used to be a seconded quarry that was dug in to an old hill just above the left side of the quarry she was currently in, but some one had dug too deep into said and it all came tumbling down. The loose rubble from the accident was caught by some flimsy wooden supports, and it included some fairly sized boulders.
She rounded the corner and to her astonishment, and gratefulness, the supports, by some miracle, were still standing, although any sort of contact could send them and everything they were holding back crashing down. She quickly looked back at he Viehcon. It, or him, was wondering around the quarry, off to the right. He wasn't where she needed him to be, but he was close enough for her to get him to be. She quickly climbed on one of the larger boulders, giving her a perfect view of the supports and the viehcon. She grabbed one of the smaller stones that rested on top of the boulder and threw it down on the ground just under the supports. The viehcon heard the sound and quickly ran over, right into her trap.
"And Auntie Grace thought that me playing baseball was a waste of time." Nya thought to herself. She raised her handgun and very carefully took aim. She pulled the trigger.
Bang snap.
Bullseye. She had hit one of the supports, the ancient, fungus eaten wood shattered like glass. The Viehcon Quickly looked into her direction but it didn't matter. She shot to more times taking out two more supports. The rest of the supports began to creak and groan, as they gave way under neath the heavy stones. With a large rumble then crash the viehcon was crushed under large boulders and heavy rubble.
Nya stood on top of the large boulder breathing a sigh a of relief, "YOU MAY BE BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER, AND MAYBE EVEN SMARTER BUT THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE ARE YOU MORE CREATIVE!" she shouted, before sliding down the side of the boulder, very pleased with herself.
"Now to find Screamer, I hope he made it." She thought.
Nya continued through the forest towards her home, walking slowly as her heart couldn't take anymore running. Suddenly behind her there was the sound of robotic limbs moving, and she felt cold metal fingers seize her waist. She struggled trying to slip away, but the fingers remained tight against her body. The fingers lifted her off of the ground and turned her to face the viehcon whose eye she had shot out, now with a sizable dent in his head.
"Yes, Sir I will stay right her sir." The viehcon said, as he finished some kind of call. He turned to Nya, "You should stop struggling weak human, you are coming with me."
"Buy me dinner, and then we'll talk." Nya said, still trying to get free.
"I will not be purchasing any of your sustenance."
The sound of a jet engine closing rang in the air, and with in moments a large blue and golden decepitcon flew in and landed. He stood tall and strong, but Nay wasn't about to let herself be intimidated
Commander Dreadwing walked over to the viehcon, noticing the new sizable dent "Soldier what happened to you?"
"Ask the Human."
"It did this?"
"I'M NOT AND IT! I'M A SHE!" Nya shouted still struggling.
"And it killed our associate?" Dreadwing ignored Nya.
"Yes sir, I checked, he was crushed to death."
"Hmm… Humans must be more dangerous then we had previously thought." Dreadwing leaned in to look closer at Nya; he had never been this close to a human before.
"Where Starscream?" She asked, now more concerned with the safety of her friend.
"Why would you want to know?" Dreadwing asked, finally acknowledging her.
"Wouldn't you be concerned with you companions wellbeing?" She asked.
"You and Starscream are companions?" Dreadwing asked.
"I don't know about you, but I have the right to remain silent."
"It would be wise of you to watch your voice box human."
Nya answered by spitting, on Dreadwing. His face was close enough for her to land a direct hit. The viehcon raised his laser gun ready to fire and kill Nya on the spot.
"Wait!" Dreadwing ordered, wiping off the spit on his face. "If it is close to starscream it's more viable to us alive, then dead." He leaned into his com link, "Soundwave, we need a bridge."
A moment later, a large swirling pool of green and turquoise light exploded, as the fabric of time and space folded onto itself. Nya's eyes widened, and she began to panic as she was pulled by the viehcon in to the swirling soup of unknown energy. She shut her eyes, and felt the warm clawing hands of energy pool entangling her in its grasp.
Starscream flew back down onto the open field, he transformed and land on his feet. The field was empty and eerily quiet.
"NYA!" he shouted, starting to panic. He began to search the field and barn, continuing to call her name. Nya wasn't anywhere.
Starscream was panicking. Nya was the one person he felt like he could actually trust, and he just left her with two viehcon seekers. At best case scenario, she would be seriously injured if not dead.
Suddenly his com link began to ring. He cautiously and confusedly, answered. "hello?"
"Starscream, we speak at last."
"Who is this?"
"Who I am is nothing of you concern, but you should listen to me."
"Why should I?"
"If you care about your human companion's safety you really should."
"If you lay one hand on her!"
"Calm down, she's safe, and if you want her to stay that way you better do exactly what I say."
"What do you want?"
"Codes, access codes to be specific."
"Where?"
"I'm sending you the rendezvous coordinates, now. You have two megacycles to make your decision."
And the call suddenly ended. Starscream looked around hopelessly. Nya was captured, and they were going to harm her or worse, if he didn't comply. He knew they could and would if they had to. Even if he did do what they said they still might harm her. He would have to rescue her, but he would have to do it alone. Or would he?
