Chapter 54
Once on the ship I realized that Lockdown wasn't heading for China when I saw the exchange of the seed. He was still looking for Optimus, but he was going to leave this planet to draw him out of hiding. So I took the trophy room as he headed for deep space, timing it just right so he wouldn't notice until it was too late. I brought the ship back to the base where the others waiting and Cade was calling the inventor of KSI.
He was who had the seed. His name was Josh, apparently. "Allison, you can't do this alone," Sunny said. "Megatron has taken over Galvtron's body, what's to stop from taking command of the others so he has his own army?"
"Nothing Sunny. Do you all really what to go into battle for the race that has forced you into hiding?" I asked. I knew I couldn't do this alone, there was no way, not against 50 robots led by Megatron making them a total of 51, not to mention the crazed humans that followed and Lockdown.
"I told you I was going to help you win this war," Wheelie said coming up to me. I smiled at the small bot.
"Thanks Wheelie."
"I will stand with you," Sunny said stepping forward.
"As will I," Sides said.
"Aye," several bots said coming forward.
"You have led us and protected us in Optimus' absence, we will follow you still," Ironhide said.
"As will we," Starscream said as he and Barricade stepped forward.
"Then Auto bots out, one last battle, let's save the humans' ass and get the seed so we can go home." Everyone cheered at that statement and followed me to the ship. The trip was short considering we were using a space ship and we met Josh on a rooftop but of course things had to I be hard. Megatron had one of his goons shoot at our ship and we went into a tail spin with Hound, Bee, Cade, Tessa, and Shane falling out of the ship. We landed somewhere in a forest on the edge of the city. Optimus and I went to release the other knights and warriors that would only listen to another knight. He and I both claimed our swords and released warriors that made him look like a child.
He fought one and I fought one. Each of us struggling for dominance, speaking a language older that Cybertronian. He won his battle and his warrior turned into a T-rex, mine turned into a Triceratops. The was a two-headed pterodactyl, and some kind of spinosaurus. With that we charged into the city where all hell was breaking lose. Bullets were flying, people were screaming and running. Things only got worse when Lockdown came realizing I had stolen his ship, his trophies.
He was using some kind of magnet to pull anything metal up and drop it, looking for something specific. Most likely his ship or either Optimus or me. He would love to take his revenge on me; I had no clue what he wanted Optimus for. As Cade and the other humans tried to get the seed across the bridge I could feel myself being pulled into the air. "Sunny!" I called taking on my wolf form and grabbing onto a tree branch that I almost passed by.
I could hear the roots starting to be ripped up and I could still feel the pull on my body. I didn't know what to do so I just hung on and hoped the tree would hold out. But I found myself in the ship. "Now Black Fire Prime you are my prison and you will serve as bait for Optimus Prime." I snarled at Lockdown's words. I would die before I betrayed Optimus. "You're the one that took my ship; I guess you'll have to be my new trophy now."
Chapter 55
I was dragged away to some kind of cell while calling Lockdown everything in the book, human and Cybertronian. I was chained in and he left. I growled, annoyed. "Oh primus," I muttered and immediately started planning. I had to get out and kill Lockdown before he could get to Optimus and take over this ship and hide it somewhere so we could leave. Hanging upside in wolf form was not fun; I barely had room to move to try to get out of my bonds.
I had spent time studying the restraints Starscream and Barricade built. I just hoped that these were similar. I pulled myself up, using the cage for support to keep me upright. I would transform if the cage was big enough but it wasn't. I managed to get a good look at the restraints. "Thank you Starscream," I muttered. This was based off his design. I started working my way free, wondering what the Auto bots were doing, if they knew I was missing.
Cade's POV
"So Megatron wants to set off this seed in the city to get the metal he needs to build an army?"
"Yes," Optimus replied. "It happened before, our creators destroyed life on this planet to build us."
"Where's Allison?" Sunny asked. "I can't reach her on the comm link." We all looked around looking for the tall slender purple and silver transformer with the black cables that looked like dreads and overly bright blue eyes. She was nowhere to be seen. She was hard to miss only be a few feet shorter than Optimus.
"She might be on Lockdown's ship, when he was trying to suck up the seed or whatever he was doing," Ironhide said.
"We have to go after her," Sunny said.
"We have to get the seed out of the city," Prowl spoke up.
"The ship we're building is far from complete and the one she stole is damaged, we can't leave. We have to take Lockdown's, if we are to leave. She is our protection. We need her," Bee said.
"We can't just leave her," Starscream said. I wondered what the girl had done to earn the loyalty of a Decepticon.
Allison's POV
I had finally freed myself of my cage and was taking out guards on the ship, making my way to the head of it. I needed to get to Lockdown. I just hoped all that training I had done with Ironhide and Optimus would pay off. As I was fighting I could hear the Auto bots coming on board yelling for me. I kept my focus on Lockdown, instead of answering my friends. I couldn't let him go after them. "Sweetspark!" I heard Sunny call as I ripped out Lockdown's spark or whatever it was. It didn't look like the spark that the Cybertronians had.
"In here Sunny," I called back. We had a ship. I took control and found a place to hide and park. We could now leave.
