Chapter 9

"Look, I can see the sun light at the end of the vent!" Amelia chirped happily.

"Really? O, yeh. I can see it too." Abigail said. Abby was very tired, the walk seemed to last forever and now, finally, the end was in sight.

"Come! Lets run the last bit!" Amelia said happily to her friend as she started running.

"Ugh…" Abigail groaned as she followed her friend in a slow jog. After a few meters they both stood at the end of the vent.

"Can you jump that?" Amelia asked her friend.

"I duno." Abby answered

"Well, lets find out!" Amelia then jumped down in cat form and landed gracefully on the desert sand.

"Come on, its not that far Abby. I can do it, so you can do it to. And you've got wings!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I'll catch ya!"

"If I die, I'll kill you."

"Jump already!" Abby jumped, opened her wings and landed lightly on her feet.

"You didn't catch me." Abby said with a scowl.

"You didn't need catching."

"True."

"Ok, so, where do we go from here?" Amelia asked her friend.

"THEIR THAY ARE!" Breakdown shouted pointing an accusing digit at the two teens.

"Shit! Run Abby! Get on my back!" Amelia shouted at her confused friend.

"Are you su-GET ON" Amelia interrupted. Abby got on to her back and gripped on to her thick fur. Amelia then started running as fast as she could but it wasn't easy carrying twice your own weight. Breakdown and Knockout quickly transformed and raced after the two fleeing girls.

"You sure did a good job at making Barricades pet faster!" Breakdown said to knockout.

"Hmmm, I did indeed." Knockout said thoughtfully.

"Come on Amelia! Faster! They're coming!" Abby shouted as she lowered her body onto hers.

"Do you wanna try this?" Amelia shouted back in an annoyed tone of voice. As she was running she could hear knockout revving his engines. He was way faster the she was and she knew it.

"We gotta hide." Amelia said.

"What?"

"We need to find a hiding place or were screwed!"

"OK, I'm looking." Abby started searching the area for a hiding place and soon found a small crevice in a nearby rock face.

"There! In the rocks!" she shouted. Amelia found what she meant and then started running towards it.

"Don't let them get into the rocks!" Knockout growled to nobody in particular. Amelia was only about fifty meters away from the rock crevice when she heard something transforming behind her. Knockout and Breakdown had both transformed and were sprinting towards them at an alarmingly quick pace.

When the two were mere meters away, Amelia leaped for the crevice just as Knockout snatched for them. Amelia and Abby made it, they had crashed into the back of the cave's wall and were now on the ground trying to stand up again. Out side the cave were two very pissed Cybertronians.

"I was soooo close!" knockout said as she held up his servo and with his digits showed a small amount of space before clutching it into a fist.

"Well… there going to have to come out some time soon 'cos they haven't eaten a lot in last few days." Breakdown said to his obviously angered comrade.

"That's very true, and when they come out we will be waiting for them." Knockout said smiling evilly. So that is was the two Decepticons did for the next three hours, they waited. Amelia and Abigail were doing exactly the same.

"Are they gone yet?"

"No."

"What about now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"NO. Abby please shut up. I am going to kill you if you say one more word!"

"Why are you so pissed of?"

"I am pissed because, a) there not leaving and b) I am so hungry, I think my stomach is digesting itself, so please shut up because I will kill you if you don't." Amelia growled at her friend.

"Ok, shutting up." Abby said as she put her hands up and shook her head.

"Good." Amelia said. She sighed, this was taking forever and she was really annoyed.

-"Barricade to Knockout"-

-"Yes Barricade, what is it"-

-"Where are you and the humans"-

-"Um, the humans are hiding in a small cave about 5 clicks out from base."-

-"Why haven't you got them out yet?"-

-"We can't get them because they are in a very small crevice"-

-"Grrrrr! Can't you two glitch heads do anything right? Fine. Stay there, I'm coming with Frenzy. Barricade out."-

"What'd he say?" Breakdown asked Knockout.

"Nothing much, he just wanted to know why we were taking so long so I told him and he is now coming with Frenzy."

"O, ok." Breakdown and Knockout then wanted for about 5 minutes longer before Barricade drove up to them.

"Where are they?" Barricade growled at the medic.

"In there." Knockout pointed a digit at the crevice the two teens were hiding in. Barricade transformed and opened a section in his chest and out of it came a small, human sized robot.

"Frenzy, get the two humans in the cave and bring them to me, alive." Frenzy did as he was told and went to the crevice Knockout had pointed out. As he entered he looked around for the two humans and found them in the farthest corner of the small cave. Amelia looked up at Frenzy and snarled at him with her sharp feline teeth, this did not make much of an impression on him because he just kept walking towards them. He then stopped about two meters before them.

"We can do this the easy or the hard way…" Frenzy said, "come with me quietly and no body needs to get hurt."

"Like hell I'm coming with you!" Abigail shouted at the 'Con.

"yeh, get lost!" Amelia shouted at him.

"As you wish." Frenzy said snidely.

"I think you pissed him off…" Abby whispered to Amelia.

"Ssst…" Amelia whispered back, not taking her eye's of the 'Con. Frenzy then slowly walked up to them. When he was half a meter away Amelia sized him up. She stood tall, at eye level with Frenzy and glared into his blue optics. She could take him on, he was as big as a human and the self-defense moves she knew could probably put some dents into him. But before she could decide what move to use on him, the 'Con had her on the ground. Amelia squirmed but it was no use, Frenzy had her down and he was not about to let go of her.

"Walk out of the cave if you want your friend to live." Frenzy snarled at Abigail but Abby was having none of it, so instead she did a glomp attack. She landed full force onto frenzy's side and then swiftly moved around, grabbed his arm and proceeded by twisting it onto Frenzy's back. Amelia got up to help her friend make an end to the 'Con. Without as much as thinking, Amelia ripped its head off. She heard frenzy curs something in Cybertronians as she kicked its head out of the cave back to where it came from.

"And stay out!" Abby yelled after him as she wiped her hands on her jeans.

Frenzy landed at Barricades feet and then transformed out some spidery looking legs and walked off towards the base for repairs.

"I don't think we will be seeing him any time soon again." Knockout said smugly while he examined the tips of his digest in a seemingly bored way.

"Knockout, you have studied the human anatomy as well as various other medical documents, you should know how to put them in stasis. When you have done that we can take them out without a struggle." Barricade said.

"Yes, I do indeed know how to put these two in stasis" Knockout said, "I have a newly installed tranquilizer gun incase of these kind of situations, I just needed to know if it was OK with you first as it is YOUR pet." Knockout replied to Barricade.

"You have my perdition, Knockout."

"As you wish Barricade." Knockout transformed the plating on his upper arm to revile a loaded dart gun, then he positioned himself in front of the crevice and aimed steadily at Abigail and then he pulled the trigger.

"Argh, ouw what the!" Abby hissed as she plucked something from her neck.

"Ooooh no, that's not good." She said as she looked at the dart in her hand.

"Abby!" Amelia shouted as she saw her friend collapse. Before she could reach her, she felt a sharp pain in her side and quickly plucked whatever it was it out, and kept running to her friend's side. When she was next to her she saw the dart in her hand and then the world went fuzzy before she felt herself slip under.
