Chapter 15
Bring it
Amelia look at the time and frowned.
"What is it?" Abigail asked.
"I need to go in 5 minutes." Amelia said.
"Go where?"
"Energon scouting smart aft, I already told you this an hour ago!"
"hoooo, that! I forgot."
"You wouldn't say. You're like the intelligence dampening core." Amelia said sarcastically.
"Well, ok then, see ya!" Abby said cheerfully. She was not too happy with the fact that her friend had to leave her again. She did not mind it really, Soundwave was ok but he could get a little to quite sometimes and she liked having someone like Amelia over to talk to.
"Bye! I'll come back when I'm done, kay?" Amelia shouted over her shoulder as she left the room she could hear the doors closing behind her. She was so exited to go outside and run freely in the sun and breath the fresh desert air again. She entered med-bay and jumped up to one of the tables and did a small dance. Knockout and Breakdown just stood and watched her.
"What has gotten into you?" Knockout asked.
"Didn't you hear? I'M GOING OUTSID!" Amelia shouted at him in a singsong voice. Then she did a flip and pumped her fists in the air and started singing.
"I'm walking on sunshine! Whooo hoo! Walking on sunshine, whooo woo hooo! And I feel good! Yea!" Amelia stopped when she heard a knock on the door. In came Barricade, he looked slightly more sinister than he usually did but that usually meant he ether had to little recharge or he was scheming some inglorious plan. Amelia beamed up at him, her blood felt like it was buzzing with excitement.
Barricade looked down at his pet, she seemed ready to go and he was also prepared. He nodded at her before turning around and leaving. Amelia got the hint and followed him in complete and utter silence. Barricade walked at a normal pace, meaning that Amelia had to jog to keep up with his big footsteps. The walk/jog was short and they arrived within five minutes. The doors at the end of the cave were also pretty big, way bigger than Amelia remembered when she first saw them. Then, they were outside. Amelia put her helm off and her hand over her eyes because the sun was so bright. She squinted up at barricade and waited for him to say something. Barricade put up his hand and a holographic map appeared, he pressed some places on it and then let the screen disappear again. Amelia was envious of the gadget and made a mental note to ask Knockout if he could install it for her. Barricade then jumped down the canyon not waiting for Amelia because he knew that she would be able to do it as well. Amelia looked down, sighed, and transformed into her snow leopard form and followed Barricade. When they were both on the ground barricade transformers into his vehicle mode and drove of at a normal speed and Amelia ran after him. She was able to do long distance running now that she was a part time snow leopard, her armor kept out the warmth of the sun and it had a cooling system so that also helped keep things at a good level. The energon deposit Barricade had set out to find was about an hour-long drive. Amelia found a good, nicely going pace and actually started to enjoy the run. When they arrived it was dusk, the skies had gone a fiery red color and behind her the sky was dark purple and covered with small shining starts. Barricade stopped in front of a giant crater in the earths crust and transformed into his bipedal mode. Amelia stood next to him on her hind legs and looked over the crater.
-"Barricade reporting to base."- He said through his comm link.
-"Yes, what is it now?"- Starscream replied.
-"I have found an energon deposit. Its ready to be harvested, so I suggest you get your patrol group ready."-
-"Fine. Is there any Autobot activity on your scanners?"-
-"No."- Barricade replied.
-"Good. I'll meet you there in about ten cycles. Starscream out" The seeker said before he ended the conversation. Amelia had overheard the whole conversation over her own comm link and wondered how Starscream was going to take only ten minutes to get there. Amelia's question was answered when she heard the familiar noises of fighter jets in the distance. Screamer and his group landed in a V-formation right in front of Amelia and Barricade. Starscream barked out some orders in cybertronian before walking up to Barricade and stopping mere inches away from his face.
"I see you brought you PET along." He spat in his face. But before he could continue insulting him an alarm went off. All three of them checked their sensors.
"Autobot-scum." Starscream hissed as he loaded his gun. Amelia saw all the drones the seeker had brought with him also load their guns. She looked up at barricade and saw him getting ready for a firefight as well. Amelia put her helm back on and loaded her gun and prepared for what was to come. On her visor screen she saw that everyone and thing was tagged, her allies, the Decepticons were purple and her foe's, the Autobots were red. She saw the Autobots in the distance as they transformed into there bipedal modes and loaded their guns as well. Everything went kind of funny after that. We, the Decepticons ran up to them and they to us, then there was a whole lot of bullets and laser beams and then everything just seemed to stop. Starscream, the coward, had flown off. Barricade was on the ground in stasis lock and all of the drones had been offlined from what her scanners told her. In front of her, she saw four, damaged but still functioning Autobots. Her scanners also gave everything nametags so it turned out that they were called Roadbuster, Jolt, Sideswipe and Mirage. At there feet were about a dozen NEST soldiers and they were all looking at her. Amelia looked at every one of them before breaking the silence.
"Um, Hello?" she said hoarsely. Nobody said something back.
"Yes, nice to meet you too." Amelia said sarcastically.
"Who are you?" one of the soldiers asked.
Amelia smiled evilly, "Your worst nightmare." She then took out her bow and arrow, because her gun was damaged, and shot the soldier in the leg, before anybody could react Amelia transformed into a Snow leopard and sped off. It did not take long to lose the pursuing vices and before long she was on her own again. Amelia let out a sigh.
-"Starglider to base, come in."- Amelia waited for a few long seconds before Abigail answered.
-"What is your situation Starglider?"
-"There has been an Autobot attack 20 clicks out, Barricade is in need of assistance and all the drones are offline."-
-"Roger that Starglider, we're coming your way."-
-"O, and before I forget, have you seen Screamer?"-
-"Yes… why?"-
-"Tell him that he's a coward"- Amelia said
-"Roger Roger Starglider"- Abby said laughing a little. Amelia could also hear some of the drones and Soundwave laughing in the background as well.
Please don't forget to review! It really makes my day!
