The three younglings held onto Foneques for dear life as he sped through the airs of Iacon.
"Foneques! Where in Primus's name are you taking us?" Chromia shouted.
Foneques turned around another building until he was hovering over an especially tall one. It looked heavily fortified with its fenced windows and many security cameras and guards at it base.
Foneques chirped and buzzed at the building as he began to make his descent.
He landed about a block away from the building in the shadows between two other equally large buildings. When the younglings got off of his back, Foneques shrank down and began circling around the ground.
"What's wrong Foneques?" Chromia wondered.
Foneques continued to circle around the ground, occasionally pausing to look up and blink at the clueless younglings before continuing on in his circles.
"I think he's trying to tell us that we've made it to our destination or something." Dion decided.
Ariel kneeled down onto the ground where Foneques was circling.
"Yeah, I think you're right. There's a tunnel under here. Not as big or as long as the mines but large enough for some secrets to be hidden." Ariel confirmed. Then she stood up and pointed towards the fortified building.
"And that is the head office building of the Firesteel Corporation." Ariel said.
"How do you know?" Dion asked.
"My parents brought me here several times. Apparently them and Firesteel did good business together." Ariel replied.
"Hmm, how're we gonna get in? The place looks as heavily fortified as your parents estate." Dion commented.
"Your parents estate...your parents...your parents! That's it!" Dion exclaimed.
"What?" Chromia asked.
"I know how we're gonna get into the building!" Dion replied.
"Is there a chance that this plan of yours blowing up in our faceplates?" Ariel asked.
"Uh yeah. Big chance." Dion replied.
Ariel and Chromia turned to each other and shrugged.
"What else is new?" Ariel spoke sarcastically.
"So what's the plan Dion?" Chromia asked.
"Help! Help! Someone help me please!" Ariel shouted as she stumbled around across the street, in clear view of the guards standing at the front of the doors of the fortified building.
Ariel made her way over to the guards and panted.
"Hello?" She called.
"Little femme. What're you doing out here all alone?" One guard asked.
Ariel began to cry. "I-I just got away. They took me, and then-and then I don't know. I just got away. Please help me."
"Wait. Are you Ariel of the One family?" The other guard asked.
Ariel nodded.
"Hey! Come back here!" Dion shouted from the other side of the street.
He and Chromia ran over to Ariel and grabbed her arms. She gasped.
"We told you not to run away like that." Chromia hissed.
Dion turned to look at the guards and smiled at them. "Hey, thanks for finding her. She just ran off spontaneously! Anyways, we gotta go now."
"Halt!" The guards exclaimed pointing their blasters at the younglings.
"What?" Dion asked.
"She is the heiress to the One family and she has been missing for several days. You will not take her again. We are taking you two in and returning her to her family." One guard explained.
"What? No!" Dion exclaimed as the one of the guards took a firm hold onto the younglings.
"Are you alright Lady Ariel? Did they hurt you?" The other guard asked softly.
Ariel shook her helm while wiping her wet optics.
"You're safe now Miss." The guard spoke. "Let's take them inside and inform Sir Firesteel."
The other guard nodded and waited for his compatriot to open the doors into the building. The three younglings smirked as they entered the building. So far, everything was going according to plan.
The guards led the younglings into the lobby.
"Watch them while I alert Firesteel." One guard said as he turned to go talk to the secretary.
The remaining guard watched his compatriot leave before turning back to the younglings.
"Alright you kids no funny bus—"
He was cut off by Dion who punched him right in his midsection.
"Stupid brat!" The guard coughed as he raised his blaster at the youngling, however, it was Ariel who took hold of his arm.
The guard looked at her in shock as she elbowed his arm, causing him to drop his weapon, and then hit the side of her servo hard against his face. The guard fell to the floor, knocked out cold.
The secretary gasped as Chromia came running towards the other guard. He barely had time to turn around when she sent one of her tonfas straight for his helm. He dropped to the ground as well.
"Okay, would you mind keeping quiet about this?" Chromia asked the secretary politely.
The secretary screamed as she hit the alarm switch.
"Aw bolts." Chromia muttered as several guards came running into the lobby.
The three younglings stood next to each other as they were surrounded.
"I would think that this calls for some strong, small help?" Dion suggested.
Chromia nodded and brought Foneques out from Ariel's bag.
Firesteel sat at his desk reading from several data pads when he felt the building slightly shake, and then got a call from the lobby.
"What is it?" He asked. He was met with sounds of explosions and screaming before anyone replied.
"Sir! A group of delinquents got in and—WATCH OUT FOR THE BEETLE!" Then the call was cut off.
Firesteel sat there for several moments, absolutely dumbfounded before he went for his comm. link.
"Darklight!"
The other two members of the Elite stood over the Energon stained guards lying on the floor at their pedes.
"Well that was unamusing. It was way too easy." The sniper femme commented.
"I guess they just don't make museum guards like they used too." Her friend replied.
Darklight held the tool in her servos when she received a comm. link call from her father.
"Yes?"
[Darklight, I am sending a groundbridge I need you and the Elite back here now! The younglings have infiltrated the building!]
"Understood. Ladies, we're heading back." Darklight announced.
Its getting heated up!
