Chapter 7
On The Haunt
On the way to Africa, Drift offered a sit for Chloe inside his helicopter form. Crosshairs is taken by surprise with his friend's sudden hospitality over a human. He smiled at Chloe to assure that it's okay.
"I'll be right down on him." he told her. "Brains will joined you there."
Reluctantly, she climbed inside the helicopter and put on seat belts. She's a bit nervous in flying but she doesn't say anything. She just trust them, he can feel it.
On their way to Africa. Crosshairs hold onto Drift's. While the others swim at the ocean or ride the pterodactyl dinobots. The friends talked. "Why are ya doing this?"
"Because we need to get to Africa before Galvatron does." Drift replied. "And I don't want to give Bumble bee the lift."
"No not that. Ah mean, you want my girlfriend to be comfortable there. Why would you?"
"I saw how she sleeps at you yesterday night. She looks peaceful and content just to be with you. I'm thinking how does it feel having someone like that."
Crosshairs know that Chloe can't hear what they are talking about the propeller is noisy enough for her. It's hard for her to make out any words that he and drift shared.
"Dude, you will find someone too." he assured his friend.
The Eastern Africa, is a huge battlefield. Decepticons are everywhere guarding every corners. Is it already too late for them? Does Galvatron already have what he needs? Out of nowhere someone huge and powerful landed in front of them- Optimus Prime! The autobots cheered. Finally their boss came to rescue. Grimlock runs to him and vow.
"Dude we need to land." Drift told Crosshairs. Then he turned to his passengers. "Ma'am you need to go with Crosshairs now, I'll be transforming to my samurai mode. Brains you come with me."
The door to the helicopter slide opened. Crosshairs palm is waiting for Chloe to land. Though she's scared that she might fall all the way down. She just jumped, she knows that Crosshairs wouldn't missed her. He never failed to catch her. Then he let go of the helicopter and they are falling three hundred or so feet above from the ground. She let out a short scream. Then they are being pulled up in the air again. When Chloe opened her eyes she saw that Crosshairs have his parachute.
"Ya don't need to be afraid love. Remember I'm a paratrooper."
Chloe smiled and she feels like she's enjoying this ride. Luckily, she brought her trusty handy camera with her. "Hey love will you smile for me?"
Crosshairs is a little bit startled with his girlfriend's idea. He lifted his hand that's holding her near his face and agreed to smile. Somehow, someone is enjoying this moment. As they reached the ground the fight started. His fellow autobots are already fighting. Sounds of missiles and metals being kicked and punch can be heard.
"You and Brains go with the humans, the small cave that contains the cube is somewhere near here." Optimus said to crosshairs as he tries to find away to speak while in the middle of the fight. "Brains will direct you where."
In a flash Galvatron jumped in front of them pushing Optimus to the ground.
"Now go.." Optimus commanded.
They finally located the cave after 30 minutes or so. It is very small and hidden in a thick leaves. Only one person can fit inside. It's up to the humans on who will go inside.
"Now who will go inside?" Brains asked.
Cade and Joyce both looked at Chloe because she's smaller than them.
"Okay I'll do it." Chloe declared.
"Are ya sure?" Crosshairs asked.
"Yes, we don't have enough time."
