Ironhide's Point of View
Firing my cannon once more at the target half a foot ball field away, it hits the fake Con straight in the spark. This was my way of soothing the burning hatred in my spark and the situation at servo. When I get my servos on the Cons who dare lay a digit on my charge, they will pay.
A deep growl sounded from my engines as I throw my fist down to the ground. The concrete cracks and crumbles easily under the sheer weight of my strength. More thoughts of what the Cons could be doing to my charge flashed into my processor.
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker turned their gaze over to me to see what the problem was. They glance back each other and must have talked over their twin bond because they made their way over to me.
Rising off the ground and making sure none of the big pebbles were wedged in between my armor and protoform, I turn away from the Terror Twins.
"You know the concrete didn't do anything to you so why you punching it?" Sideswipe strikes up the conversation with his normal 'funny' personality. Rolling my optics at his comment, I begin to walk away from them. I didn't need them to 'pity' me for the lost of my charge. Optimus, Lennox, and many others have tried to console me and slag like that.
"Shut it," I grounded out with a deep rev of my engine to ward them off. Sunstreaker huffed and grabbed his brothers' arm to drag him away from me.
"Hey, come on 'Hide. We all miss her but doesn't mean you have to act like a glitch spawn slagger," Sideswipe commented as his brother attempted to drag him away. A glare settled on my face plates and pointed straight at the two slaggers in front of me.
It wasn't worth it to pay attention to any of them and I began to tread away from them once again. This time they didn't speak up or do anything to try and stop.
Yes, I missed Gabriel dearly and wanted nothing but to have her back with me. She's like a daughter and with Chromia no longer with us, she's the only family I have.
It has been over four earth months since anyone has been in contact with Gabriel. Every day, every day that passes sucks up the lost hope for returning the femme to us. It was taking a huge toll on all of us; she, with the help of her friends, would make us laugh or at least smile in our darkest hour.
After leaving the spawn pit twins behind at the training area for us, I head towards the Main Hanger. Hopefully, Lennox is there to give me some kind of good update of finding Gabriel. Though he promised to call me if anything was spotted immediately.
The large door to the hanger is wide open to allow any wandering bot in if they please to. Many of the humans move out of my way as they didn't want to get stepped on. Some thought it was a good idea to stand in the way of me and risked getting stepped on; those aren't the brightest of the bunch of soldiers here.
Lennox is standing the cat walk talking with his buddy Epps in what seemed to be a deep conversation about the human sport Football. That was one of the things I won't get used to for the United States. They name a sport that barely uses their pedes to kick around the ball and name the other after something stupid, soccer.
My old charge spots me trekking over the idiotic humans and to him. "Hey 'Hide. How is going?" Lennox questioned but flinches right after those words pass his dermas. He re opened his dermas to fix his mistake but I stop him from making his mistake even worse.
"Good except the dumb pit spawn twins thought it was a good idea to console me about my 'problems'," I answered with a huff at the end of the sentence to show my annoyance of the said bots. Those two need to lay off; we are all affected by the disappearance of my charge. I don't need them to pity me; I'm the tough bot around.
A small chuckle escaped from Epps at my comment about the Terror Twins. He gives me a thumbs up to silently agree with me.
"If you're here for any news about Gabriel; I have told you many times-," Lennox starts but I interrupt his speech.
"Yeah, yeah, you have told me many times you will contact me if you hear anything but I want to be here if anything pops up." It was my only excuse to be being here. The sooner I can get out there to find Gabriel, the sooner she can be back within my grasp, safe and sound.
"There might or might not be a crater in the training are for the bots," I randomly spoke up. I wasn't embarrassed about that but wanted to make sure it was fixed so none of the other bots trip and hurt themselves from it. If that happens, Ratchet will weld my aft to his Med. Bay ceiling.
Both of the army mechs burst out laughing after my confession and draw some attention from the surrounding humans and bots.
Talking with Lennox and Epps help somewhat calm my trigger happy digits. Well until a random soldier steps up to the captain of this 'ship' and speaks with him.
"A multiple Decepticon signals have been spotted in the Midwest of the country," she, the random soldier, reported. Both mechs quickly responded by telling her to call a team to ready up and get the plane to get ready.
Gabriel's Point of View
How long has it been since they captured me and found out that I was with the Autobots. My brain wasn't in the right place at the lost of blood and barely any nutrients to regain any strength.
Nothing could be done and there is no one who would save me. None of my siblings or the bots would give a second thought about saving me so what's the point any more. I wanted whatever being that controlled the afterlife to take me quickly and stop dragging this out for their fun.
The door to the lab opened and with what left over strength that is left in my body, I attempted to move my body away from him. He has been doing this to me, wanting the information about the Autobots. Nothing about them was spilled from my mouth because you don't betray your close friends.
Shockwave didn't say anything as he made his way over to me and dropped a paper bag with the logo of McDonald's. After doing his normal run of making sure he kept me alive; if he didn't, I was sure he would lose his helm if he lost me; he left me in the darkness of his lab.
The smell of the hamburger and fries wavered into the air drew me close to the wonderful smell. My stomach growled deeply from the lack of food from the past few days or from my guesses, you can't really tell when you're stuck in a dark lab.
It took some time to maneuver my body over to the bag to grab the wonderful food. Quickly unwrapping the wrapping around the hamburger, I chow down on the okay tasting meat and questionable bread. Now my mouth was dry the lack of condiments on the burger, I search the bag for some kind of liquid to help sooth my mouth.
A small water bottle was the only thing to be found in two big gulps, it was downed.
With food in my stomach and water to keep me from being dehydrated, I lay on the semi-warm metal table. Sleep wanted to take me in its blanket but something shook the entire base and made me somehow sit up. Though it was regretted immediately and a groan escaped my throat.
My heart raced from the fear running through my veins at the thought and if my leg could work properly, I would be to Mars by now.
Another large explosion shook the ground and loud gunshots could be heard far in the distance. Though one could easily be recognized, Ironhide was here and others.
Remember Gabi, they aren't here for you. They probably found the base and wanted to take it out as soon as possible. But my heart didn't fully agree with my mind on that, they know it's almost a death sentence to enter the lion's den.
"GABRIEL GRACE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I heard Ironhide shout with all his might throughout the halls of the base. Excitement blooms inside my chest from hearing Ironhide yell for me and I try to scramble to my feet. They couldn't hold my weight and neither could my arms and I face planted into the metal table.
Next was to use my voice which was useless as a wingless bird, it was still shot from screaming out my pain and agony. "Hi-d-e, I'm i-n he-re." My voice could be barely louder than a mouse squeak. But that must be all he needed as it was only a good minute before the door to the lab opened.
His large frame rushed over to me in a hurry and quickly picked me up. He spoke to me in hushed whispers as to sooth my crying state; he doesn't understand how happy I am for him saving from death.
"I love you, Dad."
It was all a blur until we reached a plane. That's when darkness over took my vision and this time I didn't wish for me to never wake up again. I was finally safe with my dad.
Dang, that was a lot of feels during this entire chapter. You got anger, sadness, pain, fear, and happiness in the end. Did you see what she said in the end, which was super cute. Yes, I know it seems a little bit rushed that she forgave them but she never was angry at them in the first place. She was only happy she was away from Shockwave and back with her family. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
Let the wolf howl!
