Chapter three
"Crap," she muttered as she braced for impact. Rubble fell all around her, and Alex could hear it smash near her, small pieces of gravel stinging her arms as she knelt on the ground, arms over her head. She yelped as she was knocked sideways and screamed as a large piece of the rock fell on her leg, pinning her to the ground. Crap!
Alex looked up at the pink and blue femme, whose captor let out a deep laugh and pointed the missiles on his arm at her. Suddenly he was struck by the red and blue mech. He fell sideways, freeing the blue femme. She landed and took aim, firing her small blaster. She missed her enemy's chest, but hit him in the shoulder. The dark mech gasped as blue liquid leaked from his wound. He turned away and yelled to his followers. In moments the gray and purple robots swarmed the more colorful trio.
Alex realized the number of the dark bots had increased. "They must have opened another portal." She thought, her head fuzzy from the pain.
"Guys, I could use some help!" Alex heard the green bot shout.
"Optimus, there are too many!" The blue femme shouted over her shoulder to the red mech.
"It would appear that your assumption is correct, Arcee."He replied, surveying the battlefield. "Autobots, fall back." He commanded. The trio began to regroup, fighting their way towards each other through the gray mech's followers. Alex watched the red and blue mech put a finger to his ear and say something. The next second Alex heard a portal open. Alex managed to free her leg from the rocks just as a bright yellow bot ran out to join the fight.
She scooted over to the wall, careful not to move her leg too much. When she got to the wall she pulled herself up and tried putting some weight onher leg. What a relief. It isn't broken yet.
It was officially the worst day ever. Not only was she surrounded by gigantic robots, but they were fighting with each other! Suddenly she felt herself being lifted off of the ground. In all but a split second she was face to face with one of the enormous machines. The girl let out a scream at the sight of his red eyes and horn and tried to pull away, flailing. The metallic gray mech laughed at her, wearing a smirk that looked like pure evil.
"My, my. It seems a human has been caught up in the fray." He said, his voice filled with malice. "It would be terrible if she wound up under someone's foot, don't you think, Arcee?" He turned to the blue femme who had crept up behind him. "What a shame it would be if I accidentally dropped her." He smiled. "But I must say that I have always wanted to know what happens if the blood of a human was infused with energon." He laughed and put his index finger into the blue, glowing substance that was oozing from his wound and brought it down to Alex' face.
Alex glared back at him. "Bite me." She spat. The mech growled and pressed his finger to her shoulder, his clawed nail pushing through her skin. Alex screamed as the metal pushed deeper into her shoulder, and her glare transformed into an agonized scream.
"Stop! Please!" she pleaded. The mech laughed at her, his claw all the way into her shoulder. Alex stopped screaming and whimpered. Slowly, the mech began to pull his finger out of Alex' shoulder, and she shrieked again.
As he pulled his finger out of the top of her wound, the mech scratched a line from Alex' shoulder to the bottom of her stomach. Trying to knock the mech off guard, Arcee shot her blaster at his already injured shoulder. The blast knocked him off balance and sent Alex flying into the air. She was caught by the blue femme. Alex gasped as the air was knocked out of her lungs. Energon-mixed blood poured from her wound. Her vision blurred and her ears buzzed. She heard the femme shout something to the red and blue mech.
"Optimus, we have a wounded one!" The buzzing in Alex' ears increased and she could only make out bits and pieces around her. She heard someone shout "GET THEM!" in an angry voice, and she heard the sound of the portal opening. A stream of beeps and whistles flew by her, and suddenly she was bouncing as the femme carrying her ran for the portal. She heard yelling and hollering, then the feeling of a cold metal table, before she lost consciousness.
