Kit gasped, another sweet robot, this day was just getting better and better. Carissa gasped she dove to the ground pushing her twin along with her. The hand narrowly missed them both but it hit Rowan sending her flying into a tree. Rowan screamed in pain, the breath was out of her lungs she was finding it hard to breath. Kit stood up after a few more swings of the hand, this guy sucked at grabbing small things.
Starscream growled these stupid squishy things were hard to get, he made another lunge for the two twins but they rolled out of the way, he then noticed the other girl with flaming red hair. He made a grab for her but even in her injured state she managed to avoid it.
Carissa rolled to the side and just kept going, not one of them had been grabbed yet, it was a shard of hope that they would be able to avoid him for a little while longer. She wanted Optimus to come and save her. She looked around and saw Rowan hiding behind a tree, she made a feeble attempt to get at her but Kit's scream caught her of guard. Starscream's hand had blocked her passage to her twin.
"Kit!" Carissa screamed, her whole world was now focused on her twin, she faintly heard Rowan cry out but that didn't matter, her twin was in trouble. Getting up slowly she steadied herself. Then she hurtled herself towards the hand with all her might. Kit was backing away from the hand as it drew its self closer to her.
Everything was happening in slow motion for Rowan, Carissa was being suicidal and Kit was about to get captured. It was time that she step in. she stepped out from her hiding spot and picked up a good sized rock. And so with a good aim she threw the rock right for the bots head. The rock hit target causing the hand which was about to close around Kit jerk up.
"hey buddy, OVER HERE!" Rowan yelled she backed up a few steps and picked up another rock.
Starscream's furry was now directed at the red head, how dare she throw a rock at him! Starscream was getting confused, his orders were to grab all of the girls but he couldn't decided as to which one he should grab first, all were equally annoying. Finally he decided to go for the taller of the two twins. That happened to be Kit. Starscream leaned back and was about to pound the ground around Kit firmly caging her when Thundercracker zoomed by.
"Screamer, get those girls, were getting killed!"
"im on it" Starscream yelled. This was getting stupid. He leaned back once more to slam the ground but he noticed that there was no one to slam any more.
Kit had gotten way with Carissa. The two were now next to Rowan, they two had a bunch of rocks in their arms, it didn't look like they would be running out of ammo any day.
"why you little-" Starscream yelled as he was bombarded by rocks, some fell into his armor and got stuck making his movements awkward.
A large rock hit his foot making him narrow his eyes at Rowan. "NO ONE WILL SWEAR AT ME OR MY FRIENDS" she yelled angrily, her temper took aver all of her common sense. Carissa nodded. She fully agreed with Rowan, she had it; she was so tired of being attacked and shot at. Kit nodded half heartedly, she was happy to have this sort of excitement. Suddenly a large bulk came down next to them, it was Ironhide. Rowan shook her head.
"I see that you can't hold your own"
"Don't start with me woman" Ironhide warned. "Stay hidden"
Starscream decided to cut in "too late"
Ironhide angled his head so that he could see Starscream in his upside down state.
"You fought against him?" there was a bit of surprise in his voice. Rowan nodded and chucked another rock at Starscream.
"I can defend my self" she told him haughtily, she and the other two girls continued to throw rocks at him while Ironhide got up.
The fighting between the two was becoming tiresome for Carissa "shut it both of you" she yelled "you can argue later" the two shot her a death glare.
Ironhide brought out his canons and revved them up nicely.
"What are you waiting for shoot him" Rowan called angrily.
"Will you just shut up for a moment" Ironhide shot Starscream as he turned towards Rowan ready to give her a piece of his mind. Rowan had picked up a rock and had chucked it at his head, Ironhide saw it coming and ducked, Starscream was less lucky it hit him in the eye.
"Slag it" he reeled back trying to get the rock out of his optic.
"What did you do that for?" Ironhide demanded.
"He was going to charge you, I saved you life damn it"
"I can hold my own"
"No you can't; you would be scrap metal by now!" Rowan clutched her fists at her side ready to fight a good long fight. Ironhide was also ready; he couldn't wait to get that girl bad.
Unfortunately for the two Starscream had gotten up and had charged Ironhide. Ironhide fell to the ground hard, his hand cadged Rowan from getting up.
"get off me you nut" she screamed kicking at his hand. Starscream laughed and shot Ironhide in the back causing the old war bot to go limp, with Rowan trapped.
Kit and Carissa were left to defend themselves. They had lots of rocks and a good aim but nothing stopped that huge bot. Starscream staggered towards them, his massive feet caused small tremors in the ground causing the small girls to fall on their butts, rocks at their feet. Starscream laughed triumphantly as his hand came down and surrounded the two girls.
"got you now" he shouted in their faces
"what I didn't hear you!" Carissa shouted.
Starscream trembled with anger "you stupid human" he snarled why did I bother to keep you alive?" he brought out his gun with the full intention of shooting them when Megatron's orders echoed through his mind. He had to keep them alive. With a growl he was about to leave when a shot by his feet made him jump. The girls screamed as they were jostled by the tense bot.
Optimus came crashing through the trees "Starscream let them go" he growled low and threatening. Carissa sighed with relief, she was saved and so was Kit. Starscream growled, he shook his head and said
"Not today" with one arm he picked out Carissa and threw her at Optimus, Optimus was distracted, he lunged forward and caught Carissa as Starscream transformed.
Kit found herself inside the cockpit of the jet, the seatbelt was tight around her body as she tried to move around, this wasn't so cool. With a free leg she began to kick at any thing but it wasn't working. Starscream remained silent as the girl tried to kick her way out.
"resistance is futile" those were the only words he said to her and he flew farther and father away from the Autobots.
