Kevin sat in the corner of his cell waiting for the Decepticons to return. He had told Megatron that he needed certain ingredients and a lab in order to make energon. He couldn't hear Hardcore anymore but knew that he was still here and hope that he was still alive. Now he could think that what he was doing was the right decision and hope that the others could save them in time. Maybe they didn't even know what happen to them and are still waiting for them. As he thought he heard a noise that came from cell beside him. Kevin then remembered that Hardcore had said about how Optimus had been captured by the Decepticons. Maybe he was still alive and was in the cell next to him. Kevin crawled to the side of the cell and whispered "Hello" to him.
"Hello yourself," Came the response.
"Hey are you Optimus?" Kevin asked.
"Yes and you must be Kevin," Optimus replied.
"I guess you already know what's going on, huh?" Kevin said.
"Yes, I know you did it to save a friend but I hope you know what you are getting yourself into," Optimus said.
"I hope so too, Optimus," Kevin said, "There got to be a way out."
A few minutes passed without the two saying a word to each other. Kevin took the time to think of a way out. Suddenly an idea came to him and so he told Optimus what his plan was about. Half an hour passed before a seeker arrived to take Kevin to the lab. When the seeker opened the door Kevin charged him and knocked him to the wall. This stunned the seeker for a while giving Kevin enough time to get the keys and unlock the door to Optimus cage. The two left the dungeon and headed it out.
"I got to find Hardcore," Kevin said.
He entered another room that leads to another dungeon followed by Optimus. He looked around until he saw Hardcore in the far cell. He ran up and locked the door and ran to Hardcore's side.
"Hardcore are you alright?" Kevin asked.
All he got was a groan from Hardcore.
"Kevin?" Hardcore groaned as he looked at Kevin.
"We have to get out of here and fast," Optimus said, "It's only a matter of time before the Decepticons find out we escaped."
Kevin helped Hardcore and out of the cell. They left the dungeon and managed to get out before the alarm was sounded and Decepticons alert to their escape.
