Soundwave's Pov:
Damnit all to the pit! That girl got away from me again. Glaring down at my two casseticons, they were covered in a blue paint-like substance. Ravage restless licked at himself in hope of getting some of it off, with no luck of course. Laserbeak hung his head shamefully.
"Failure is not acceptable." I rambled off to them. They nodded solemnly in response, optics trained on the ground. We stood in the debris of the human city called 'Rome'. It already looked ancient and ruined, we just helped the process. Sighing I activated my comm link.
"Soundwave to Megatron."
"What is it, Soundwave?"
"Failure in capturing human target."
"Unacceptable, Soundwave. I expect better from you."
"Agreed, Lord Megatron. Permission to track target?"
"No, return to base. I will be sending someone else to capture the girl."
"Acknowledged. Returning to base."
Closing the link and turned to my two minions.
"Returning to base, Ravage, Laserbeak." I gestured for the two to return to my chest compartment. They transformed and complied. Shaking my head, I took one last look around the city before warping back to the base.

Mai's Pov
Yawning loudly my eyes slowly opened to the darkened scene around me. The musty smell of the old farm house welcomed my senses. Removing my silver hood, my dark brown hair fell onto my shoulders. Swinging my feet over the side of the bed I sat there for a moment and rubbed the sleepiness from my eyes. I at least got a good six hours of sleep. It was dark outside, probably about twelve at night. Stretching my aching limbs I searched blindly around for my belt I dropped somewhere on the floor before I drifted to sleep. Suddenly tripping over a familiar leather object I cursed falling flat on my face.
Snagging the damned thing I rummaged through the pockets and finally found my lighter. I need some sort of light… Using my lighter as a candle I threw my belt onto the bed and wandered down the steps. I stepped into a kitchen and noted there were candles on the kitchen table. Smiling to myself of this small victory I lit several candles and placed them throughout the kitchen. It was a mostly woodwork furniture, gas stove, wooden cabinets, and a simple sink. Nothing special. Curious, I searched through the cabinets finding boxes of old cereal, unfortunately for me there was no milk. Deciding it was better than no food at all, I sat down at the kitchen table and snacked on the out-of-date Frosted Flakes. My thoughts caught up with me while I munched quietly on my meal. It's been well over the time I would have seen the Decepticons, if they were still looking for me. Considering my current options I could well enough get to another city outside of this farmhouse and stay hidden there for at least a few days. Nodding to myself, I closed the box of cereal and tucked it under my arm. Blowing out the candles and snatching up my lighter I found my way up the steps to the bedroom and prepared to move.
Suiting up was probably my highlight of the day. Fastening my belt around my waist, sheathing my two swords, and dawning my signature hood. I was ready to go. Finishing the last of the cereal, I tosses the box aside and used my lighter as a flashlight to get down the steps. Cautiously, I crept to the door and peered outside. Clear. Slinking through the shadows, I heard a soft cry. It wasn't human that's for sure. It came from the barn. Glancing around I decided to investigate.
The barn was in shambles, it looked like they once kept animals here. Hay was thrown around messily, and tools laying on the cold floor. I moved my lighter over to where I heard the soft whining. My eyes widened when I spotted the source. A large horse stood in the midst of the scattered tools and hay. His ankle caught in some sort of trap. Probably a trap to keep wolves away. I walked up to the poor creature and placed my palm on it's face. It shied away at first, but then accepted the touch. He snorted nudging my hand with his snout. Frowning I knew I had to free the poor creature. Sneaking around to his back ankle I set my hands on the rusted metal, cursing when it cut my hand. I pried the trap open and carefully removed it from the injured horse. Blood trickled down it's ankle in large clots. I took a bit of gauze from my belt and wrapped it around the wound. The horse neighed in response when I tightened it, he shuffled slightly then settled. I grinned, feeling happy for doing a good deed. Returning to the front of the horse, I rested my palm against his cheek and whispered soothing words to him. He practically purred, if horses could anyway. I pulled away and started to walk away, and he neighed in protest. Sighing I returned to him and carefully helped him out of the barn into the night air.

Unknown Pov:
My optics narrowed as she brought the beast from out of the barn. Mounting it and gently urging it onward. The beast complied and trotted out of my sight. I snorted, how could White Shadow be so idiotic? She was out in the open and could be easily caught. Shaking my head I brought my hand over upon my blaster. I would capture this wild human and get the reward I deserved! Snorting I transformed into my alt form. A sleek red jet, stealthy following the girl overhead in the clouds. She was my ticket for glory, I wouldn't pass it up.

Mai's Pov:
Grinning I rode the horse over the rolling hills of the country side. He could go rather fast considering his condition, and he was enjoying it himself.
"You know what, I'm going to call you Kage." (Pronounced Kah-Ghey)
The horse sputtered a reply, bobbing his head.
"Ah, so you like that huh? Well, good! Kage, you can stick with me for as long as you want. I can't complain about the company." I smiled and gave Kage a quick hug around his neck and urged him onward. I noticed the moon was risen high in the sky, pale and white. I felt a frown tug at my lips, I wished that none of this would have happened, but there wasn't anything I could do now. Shaking my head I whispered the familiar lyrics to the song of You Can't Take Me by Bryan Adams.
"You can't take me, I'm free…" I started singing it sadly.
"Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night
Get it out - check it out
I'm on my way and I don't feel right
I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact
It's OK - I'll find a way
You ain't gonna take me down no way
Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it
Dont' push me - I'll fight it
Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride
You can't come uninvited
Never gonna give in - never gonna give up no
You can't take me I'm free."
The lyrics poured out of mouth, tears threatening to escape my eyes. The song spoke my emotions, and I needed this break. It was a welcomed feeling, the feeling to cry and unleash my bottled up feelings…
"Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on
And what's this holding me?
I'm not where I supposed to be
I gotta fight another fight
I gotta fight will all my might
I'm getting out , so check it out
Yeah, you're in my way
So you better watch out!"
The ground shook with an explosion, the sky was littered with sparks. A Seeker soared above me shooting down at me. I cursed and hollered at Kage to go faster. He complied and galloped down hill. The seeker cackled above me roaring.
"You can't run forever White Shadow!"
"You can't take me, I'm FREE!" I screamed back. Kage neighed and galloped toward a thick forest. I lost sight of the Seeker, but I could still hear his laughter.
[] Well, how's that for longer? I put more characters in there! Can you guess who the Seeker is? I think it's pretty obvious… But you know! Anyway, I was listening to You Can't Take Me by Bryan Adams throughout this whole story and I had to put it in the story. It totally fits it! Lol XD Anyway, reviews, reviews, reviews! I love them to death and they keep me going. Till next time. Stay tuned! []
