PrincessFirestar: sounds great.
"So off to Polyhex we go now right? All the way straight to Polyhex." Orion said as Foneques rose from the ground.
Dion nodded. "Yep. We go over the Sea of Rust and we should get there by tomorrow. However, that's assuming we don't get delayed again."
At the last statement Chromia hit the back of her older brother's helm.
"Don't tempt karma Dion! Karma tends to be a major glitch to us!" Chromia exclaimed.
"Okay okay. I won't say anything else. Okay?" Dion replied.
Chromia nodded and sat back, crossing her arms.
The Sea of Rust was just that. It was a vast expanse of empty space filled to the brim with rust. There were heavy winds that blew said rust everywhere and Foneques had to fight hard against the strong current.
"I didn't calculate the wind storm!" Dion shouted.
"What?" Orion asked.
"He said that he didn't calculate the storm!" Ariel yelled.
"What?" Orion asked again.
"I think she said that he didn't regulate the worm!" Chromia yelled.
"What? I can't hear anything! The wind is deafening me!" Orion shouted.
"What?" Dion asked.
"I'm going deaf!" Orion yelled.
"You're running for ref?" Dion replied.
"What?" Orion shouted.
"Maybe we should land!" Chromia shouted. "I think I see a building down there!"
"WHAT?" The other younglings screamed.
"Uh, yeah. We're landing." Chromia decided.
The building Chromia saw was a fairly small bar. There were many mechs and a few femmes in there. Most of them turned to look at the younglings as they came through the entranceway.
Two large mechs standing by the entrance stared at the younglings, particularly the two femmes. They walked over to a table and sat down.
"What are a bunch a kids doin' in a place all the way out here?" A waiting mech asked as he walked over to their table.
Chromia threw several credits onto the table.
"Do you need to know?" She asked.
The mech smiled and shook his helm as he took the credits off of the table.
"What can I get you kids?" He asked.
"How about some carbonated Energon?" Dion requested.
The mech nodded. "Comin' up."
When the mech was gone the four younglings came in close together.
"I don't like the feeling of this place. Can we leave soon? Please?" Orion said.
"Yeah, sure. But we have to wait until the wind storm blows over...ha. Blows over. Get it?" DIon replied.
Orion smiled and nodded.
"So we just wait?" Ariel asked.
"We're gonna have to." Don answered.
Chromia shook her head. "You see Dion? This is what happens when you tempt fate with your big mouth."
Dion frowned and nodded in agreement as the waiting mech came back with their Energon.
Over on the side of the bar a cloaked mech and femme watched the four younglings.
"What're you lookin' at Violetwing?" The mech asked. "Those kids?"
The femme nodded. "Yeah, you see the pink one over there?"
"What about her?" The mech asked.
"Don't tell me that you seriously don't recognize her." Violetwing replied. She took out a hologram projector and projected the Missing poster of Ariel
"The girl those rich types in Iacon sent us after. Two hundred thousand credits. Easy." She explained. "I say we go say hi. Wouldn't you say Redrock?"
The four younglings were sipping their bubbly Energon peacefully as the two adults walked over to them.
Dion saw them coming and turned to his friends. "Watch it you guys. Bounty hunters, coming straight for us."
"Hey there." Violetwing greeted. "You kids lost?"
"Uh, no." Chromia replied.
"Oh, well, I can't think of any other reason why a couple of sweet looking kids like you would be out in the middle of the Sea of Rust. Need any help getting home?" Violetwing asked as she looked towards Ariel, searching for any signs of distress, but she didn't catch any.
"No. Leave us be and we'll leave you be." Chromia answered.
Orion looked at the femme's servo and saw that she was holding a hologram projector, one he recognized as a projector that showed wanted posters.
Orion couldn't help but tense at the thought.
"I'm sure we can help with something." The femme continued.
Chromia stood up. "No, you don't. Oh, and look outside. The storm stopped, we'll be on our way thanks to you very much."
Violetwing took hold of Chromia's arm.
"No, I don't think you will. You're gonna let that little girl go." She said.
"Let me go?" Ariel asked.
"You're parents are worried you dear." Violetwing continued.
Ariel shook her helm. "Yeah. I'm sure they are. Sorry to disappoint you lady but I'm not going anywhere."
Violetwing narrowed her optics at the youngling.
"Yeah, now excuse us." Dion said as he pushed passed the two adults but was stopped by her large mech friend. He looked down at the younglings and growled.
"No, you're not. We're gonna take you back to Iacon and you three are being turned in." Violetwing stated as she reached out for Ariel.
"No, we're not!" Ariel exclaimed as she grabbed Violetwing's arm and flipped her over her shoulder.
Violetwing grunted in pain as she hit the floor. Redrock ran over to her and the younglings ran out of the building.
"You idiot! Go after them!" Violetwing yelled at Redrock.
He gasped and ran after the younglings but it was too late. Foneques had already grown larger and took off.
Violetwing stormed out of the building and hit Redrock.
"Those kids. The One family didn't tell us that the girl could fight." Violetwing muttered angrily. "Come on Redrock!"
"Bounty Hunters? My parents sent bounty hunters after me?" Ariel demanded when they were in the sky.
"Looks like it." Chromia replied.
"Grr!" Ariel groaned.
Orion looked back down towards the bar.
"Great." He muttered. "Yet another obstacle to block our way."
And off to Polyhex they go! Let me know what you think! Comment and review!
