Chapter 11
Poppy paced up and down the street in total confusion about what just happened. Sam was stuck, in trouble somewhere asking for help and yet Poppy hadn't done a thing but get up and pace. Time was ticking, people were walking past and her friend was in danger. Her mind was blank, nothing not even the slightest idea of what to do but poppy couldn't hold back her feelings
"WHAT DO I DO?" she shouted
Now everyone gave her a deaf defining glare. Poppy now felt embarrassed and began to blush so she started to walk towards park square on the edge of town, there she thought she would be able to think a bit more. Then Poppies phone went off looking down at her phone in her hand she saw that Sam had sent her a text message, opening it Poppy carefully read the message.
"If you see a blue tank, blue sports car or a yellow Camaro go up to it and say Sam needs your help, cons base"
Poppy didn't quite understand how cars and a tank gunna would help her, it would be better to tell the police about her disappearance and her sudden cry for help. Poppy now made up her mind she changed her course to the police station, making sure she had correctly read the message on the way. After she had read it about three times she put her phone away in her pocket, worrying about her friend.
"The Professor was right we do get into trouble"
As she was about to cross the road Poppy looking left but no cars where about, cautiously she heard a car fast approaching so she quickly turned her head to look right and saw a blue sports car speeding towards her. It didn't look like it was going to stop but just before Poppy decided to wait for it to pass she remembered something.
"That's the sports car Sam told me to ask for help" she realised
It was worth a shot asking him, Poppy didn't know how many people Sam knew it wouldn't hurt to tell him. Would it?
Quickly to grab his attention Poppy ran out in to the middle of the road and spread her arms out to make sure he saw her, she closed her eyes hoping he would stop but then it came to her again she saw this car with two other vehicles earlier they all matched what Sam said.
Her mind had been taken off her near death so she slowly opened her eyes to see that it had stopped but suspiciously she couldn't see in the wind screen to look at the driver.
"I'm sorry but you've gotta help me" she pleaded
The wind screen then began to reveal a man in the driver's seat.
"You know I could have run you over, what if I was a person who wouldn't stop for..."
He was then interrupted by Poppies eagerness to rush things.
"Yeah yeah yeah, listen my friend is missing and I need your help she sent me a text asking me to ask you for help"
Now Silence was between them like it was holding their mouths shut.
"Are you talking about Samantha by any chance because my friends and I have been looking for her?" he asked
Poppy didn't really know what to make of this man she was looking at, he really does know Sam and when she saw them earlier they must have been look for her.
"Who are you? Sam has never mentioned you before" Poppy questioned
"Did Sam tell you anything? Any little detail."
Poppy nodded and wanted to have fun with what she was about to say. She thought for a couple of seconds and remembered that she's always wanted to say something but never had the right moment.
She put up two fingers and said "Two words, cons base."
As soon as she was finished his engine began to roar as if he was in a hurry.
"Thanks and don't worry I'll help her"
With that said he zoomed off past her cutting right through city centre. Hot shot went at a tremendous speed not stopping for anything but making sure he did not harm anyone either as he was getting closer and closer to the edge of the city he called in on his comlink to the Autobots base.
"This is hot shot to base anyone there?"
"This is Wing saber at base go ahead hot shot" Wing saber answered
"I'm on-route to the decepticons base Sam's there and it sounds like she needs help, I think I'm gunna need back up on this one guys"
Immediately all of the Autobots left the base and headed to the lion's den where they were hopefully going to find Sam. Optimus lead the way hoping to catch up to hot shot so they could storm the base without any complications.
Within minutes hot shot arrived at their base it was well disguised as it was on the outside of the city where there was dust and a lot of giant rock everywhere and as hot shot looked around he could definitely tell that someone had broken in but there was loads of damage. It seemed to him like a fight had already been taken place but Sam couldn't have caused this much mess, she barely knows how to her powers. With that in mind hot shot knew he had to take it slowly and carefully.
In doing so he transformed his left arm in to a gun ready to fire should he come across any decepticons. It was too quiet for his liking but as he went further and further in he started to hear what sounded like blades being clashed against each other and there were a lot of unconscious decepticons lying around. Before long hotshot found himself in a large, dark room it had to be the main control room as there was a monitor on the wall but not as big as the Autobots.
Just in the corner of the room hot shot could just make out a human like figure hanging from chains.
"Sam"
It had to be Sam but as he edged closer he saw that the person was too tall and had short hair, this wasn't Sam but it is an innocent human hanging from chains against a wall. Hot shot carefully put transformed his arm and put his left hand under the woman and lifted it so she would rest on his hand then hang in pain. He broke the chains that were wrapped round her and put her on the floor, as far as he could tell she was unconscious but alive.
Again her heard blades clashing but louder it was coming from the next room, he quietly ran up to the door and pushed himself against the next to it. Once he was ready he poked his head around to take a look at what was going on but he was shocked at what he saw. As he was watching the other Autobots arrived in the same room red alert immediately saw the human on the floor and ran over to help her while the others gathered around hot shot and peered round to see what the noise was.
They all seemed surprised at the sight of two Cybertronian's fighting with blades but they could only identify one and that was Megatron, it definitely seemed like he was winning the battle but the bot also seemed to be winning as well one thing was for sure the fight would end badly.
As soon as they all had a good look at the fighting everybody turned their heads to scattershot.
"Scattershot is that bot in your data banks?" asked Prime
Scattershot lifted his arm and suddenly a small hologram came up, Scattershot skimmed through his data bank looking for the mystery bot in it.
"No Optimus I have no records of a purple and blue femme bot" he answered
Now the question was who is she? Everyone kinda gathered that she wasn't on Megatrons side as she was fighting him.
"Autobots take aim on Megatron and wait for my signal to fire" he commanded
At once they all prepared their weapons to fire locking on to Megatron and following him until they were given the command. Optimus wanted to wait for the right time to fire so that the femme bot wouldn't get hurt.
"Red Alert take the human woman and get her to a safe spot once we have found Sam we will rendezvous with you."
Red Alert did as he was instructed and carefully picked the woman up and ran away hoping that none of the unconscious decepticons had woken up.
Turning his attention back to the fight he saw that the femme bot had kicked the dark bot to the other side of the room they were in making him crash in to the wall. As Megatron picked himself up he began to charge at the femme with anger that he hasn't destroyed her yet but just before his strike on the femme he sets eyes on Prime and the Autobots.
"FIRE" shouted Optimus
Huge amounts of light gathered and shot towards Megatron he was hit by every blast the Autobots gave him, making him fly through the wall and many behind, for now Megatron wasn't a problem.
Now that they were clear the Autobots flooded in to the room and stared at the femme standing in the corner she seemed alright but it was obvious that she had never done that before as she had energon leaking out of her and scratches everywhere. Just then Optimus stepped forward.
"Who are you?" he questioned
In response she just smirked and said "Wouldn't it be better if you had asked me that first and then helped me"
They all seemed cautious to her but Bumblebee saw different to him she was on their side for sure.
"Just answer the question" demanded hot shot
"It doesn't matter, what does matter is that we find Sam before big, dark and scary comes back" argued Wing Saber
Optimus hated to admit it but Wing Saber was right, finding Sam is the top priority here. So he turned his attention away from the injured femme to hot shot.
"How did you know Sam is here" he asked
"A girl jumped in to the road as I was driving and told me that Sam needed my help that she's here, I presume the girl is a friend of Sam's"
Prime knew the best option to find Sam would be to split up but no one knows if Megatron is still lurking about so it would be dangerous to do so.
"Optimus I'm not picking up any human life anywhere around here" stated Scattershot
Suddenly a loud crash came from behind Optimus they all turned their attention towards it and saw that the mysterious femme bot had fallen on the floor unconscious, she was badly wounded and needed Red Alerts help not to mention the amount of energon she had lost didn't help either.
"Autobots return to base if Sam were here Scattershot would be able to pick up a human signature or the all spark energy signals. Wing Saber fly the femme bot back to base too she needs medical attention" commanded Optimus
With that said the Autobots transformed in to vehicle form and drove out of the decepticon base, Wing Saber carried the femme out and then transformed with her lying over the cockpit of his vehicle mode. On the journey back Red Alert dropped the woman off at the hospital as he was disguised as an ambulance and hot shot questioned whether the femme could be trusted as it may be a trick laid down by the cons so they can find the location of their base.
"Quit complaining hot shot she got really hurt by Megatron, leaking energon all over me, I don't think Megatron would put a spy on the edge of life or death" said Wing Saber
Just before they were about to arrive at the base Optimus ordered Bumblebee to go back to Sam's house and stay there keeping an eye on the people inside and whether Sam returns.
