Chapter 2: Hyperjump's POV
Dizzy from my wounds, I can't keep a straight flight… Pain, too much… I barely notice as I plow into the ground. Willing myself to remain online, I hear the sound of a jet above me.
"Hello?"
The voice is that of a female, but I'm too disoriented to decide… if it's a Human or…an Autobot…
The footsteps came closer… too heavy to be human…
"Can you hear me?" The voice was close enough that I recognized the pitch. "Are you alright?" Not a voice I recognized. Not good…
A hand fell on my cockpit. Then it clicked. An Autobot… Slaggit… need to get away…
My engines fired and managed to transform, grunting in pain as the wounds on my right side throbbed. I caught sight of the Femme, probably only a little younger than my and with a silver and blue coat. I could make out a small red Autobot symbol on her shoulder, though my vision was starting to blur.
No… needed to get an edge…
Weakly, I activated my machine gun, which came from my plane mode. They slid from under my arm plating, slower then I would have liked. The femme was crouching on the ground, obviously terrified… couldn't let that get in the way.
I made my voice as gentle as possible, but it was clogged by pain. "Who are you? How did you find me." She appeared to think for a few moments, obviously scared.
"S-Skystorm. Intel and aerial scouting." Her voice was shaking. The pain…
"Skystorm. How did you find me?"
She stared for a moment. "Why?" she asked. Her expression reminded me of the expression that Barricade makes when you ask for a ride. She obviously didn't understand my question. "Did you pick up my energy signal? Or did you have some kind of tracking system? Were you expecting me to be in this area?" She looked to scared to answer, but I needed to know. "Answer me femme. Now!" I didn't mean to make my voice so harsh, but the pain in my arm and wing was building.
She looked too scared to answer. Suddenly, something in my chest clicked, my vision blurred and my knees buckled. I fell to my knees and my eyes un-blurred for a moment. She was staring right at me. "Who are you?" she asked quietly. I groaned and slumped against a tree. Pain was my world now. not this world of trees and rocks and Cybertronian warfare. Only pain…
I woke the next morning with a start. Bright sunlight was streaming through the trees. Skystorm was sitting nearby, her back to me. A small case was next to her. I looked at my arm and wing. Energon paths covered them, healing them. The pain was almost gone. I was just sore now.
"Why?" I asked her. She turned her head slightly. "Why did you help me?" She sighed, stood and took a few steps towards him. "You… you spared my life." She sat next to me. Then she did something unexpected. She smiled. "I have some questions," she started.
I turned my head, curiously. "Okay," I said.
