I DO NOT OWN TRANSFORMERS
"What is it?" Lumina asked Sari, who was combing out her hair.
"It's a hairbrush; we humans use it to get tangles out of our hair."
Sari put the brush down and looked in the mirror.
"Well I'm ready to go. Let's go meet up with Bee at the park now," she said and started for the elevator. Lumina transformed into her wolf form and climbed in. (It's really the only way she can fit). Soon, they were both outside Sumdac Systems and on their way to the Detroit City Park. Bumblebee and Bulkhead were there along with Prowl and Optimus. The young bots were all enjoying the sunny day in their own way. Prowl contented himself with observing the wild life, Bulkhead was painting the sky, Bumblebee and Sari were challenging each to a Frisbee toss, and Optimus made small talk with Lumina.
"It sure is a nice day," he sighed and leaned back against the green hill they sat on.
Lumina smiled at how relaxed the mech seemed at the moment and thought about how he never really had moments like these.
"Definitely a good day to be out and about," she agreed.
"Hey Boss Bot, do you wanna play some Frisbee?" BB asked running up to the commander.
"Maybe later."
Sari ran up behind the yellow mech and smirked.
"What? Are you afraid that Bumblebee could possibly beat you?" she taunted and waited for Optimus to take the bait.
"No, it's just-"
"Oh come on Prime, it'll be fun. I'll even play if that would make you happy," Lumina stated stretching out her joints for the oncoming game.
"Fine, but you two better watch out," Optimus warned standing up and heading to one of the clearer areas.
"Alright, your objective is to get as many goals in your opponents' basket as you can before the timer goes off," Sari explained while she took her place next to BB.
Lumina and Prime stood opposite them waiting for the whistle. A loud ringing echoed throughout the field and the game began. So far, Bumblebee and Sari were ahead by 2 points and still gaining the upper hand. Lumina was trying to make a basket when she felt a tremor in the ground. The shaking threw her aim off and she ended up whacking BB in the back of the head.
"Hey, what was that for?" he exclaimed, rubbing the spot.
"Shush... Do you feel that?" Lumina shut her optics and focused her sense to detect anything out of the ordinary. "There it is again...the shaking feeling."
Optimus looked at her and then at the ground. He had a flustered look on his face.
"I don't feel anything," the blue and red mech admitted.
All of a sudden his comlink started to beep like mad.
"Prime here, Ratchet what's-"
"Optimus, Teletran-1 is picking up these odd readings. Something's coming your way and fast!!"
The bots listened with baited breath (figuratively speaking). The next thing they knew was that the ground started to shake violently.
"What's going on?" Bee yelled scooping up Sari into his arms.
"Earthquake!!!!" she shrieked, clinging to the yellow mech's neck tightly.
The bots tried to stay on their feet, but got knocked down because the shaking was growing worse by the minute.
"Optimus, what do we do?" Lumina asked trying to stabilize herself.
"We've gotta help the others!" he said as another tremor struck.
They made their way over to Bumblebee and a frightened Sari.
"Bumblebee, transform and get her out of here. It's too dangerous!"
The bot did as he was told and drove off leaving Lumina and Optimus to help the others.
"Prowl, help Bulkhead get the humans away from the park and to the nearest disaster shelter. Lumina you and I will take any potential wounded to the hospital."
There were a few minor injuries and by the time they made it to the hospital, the earthquake was now in the aftershock phase.
"What a rush. I can guarantee you that I've never been in one like that before back on my home planet," Lumina breathed.
"At least the worst is over," Optimus responded.
"Uhh, Optimus, I think it's a little too early to call it a day. Look!!!" she shouted pointing at a nearby overpass.
Large chunks of cement had been jarred and were falling down on the freeway underneath. The autobots rushed over and started to suspend the bridge.
"Autobots, we need some back up here!!" Optimus gasped into his comlink as the bridge's base started to groan.
Prowl, Bulkhead, and Ratchet rushed full speed to reach their teammates and arrived just in time to see a giant crack emerge in the bridge and to see cables snapping, all pointing to the fact the bridge was coming and nothing could stop it.
"Quick, we gotta get the humans off the bridge before it collapses," Prowl said using his jetpack to boost himself up there.
After about ten minutes the area was cleared, but on problem remained. The only things holding up the bridge were Optimus and Lumina. If one let go, they'd only have so long before they would be crushed. Who would stay behind? The strain was becoming too much for the bots and Optimus was loosing his grip. Both refused to move though, both willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. Minutes passed and still nothing.
"This is pointless, Lumina go!!" he ordered.
"Not without you!" she rebutted.
"I won't loose anyone ever again."
They both locked gazes and didn't look away so they didn't happen to see a huge boulder dislodge itself from the overpass and plummet towards them.
"Watch out!!!!" Lumina shouted and pushed Optimus out of the way.
The mech slid back quite a ways and saw the boulder pin Lumina to the ground and soon the bridge gave way and toppled onto her.
"Lumina!!!!!!!" Optimus gasped.
