Optimus Prime's unusual Charge

The chase is on!

"Some way to start an afternoon..." Jack sighed and looked around. "Where's Miko at?"

"Is that even still a question at this point?" Ratchet scoffed and opened communications with Bulkhead. They could hear the human girl cheering as Bulkhead was pulling off some pretty tricky evasive maneuvers to try and shake Breakdown of his tail.

"Oh..." Jack answered with a sigh. "Right..."

"Bulkhead, turns out this was all a distraction...Knockout's captured Zucky and is making his getaway as we speak!" The medic updated the green bot on the situation.

"Scrap! I knew this seemed too specific and organized...Can't shake this rustbucket off my caboose either! Ratchet, bridge me over to Knockout's location, but let Breakdown follow me in... I have a plan." Bulkhead answered.

"Good luck." Ratchet openened a groundbrigde for Bulkhead, who drove through and just as planned, the decepticon followed him through.

Meanwhile Zucky was struggling with her bonds. 

"Urgh! This is strong stuff...I can't even cut through it with my claws." She kept writhing and squirming in the back seat, something had to give somehow.

"Hold still you! It's bad enough the boss wants you in one piece and unharmed, now I gotta worry about you purposely injuring yourself AND the Autobots on my rear bumper too?!" Knockout complained as he tries to get enough distance between him and the Autobots to be able to bridge over, or at least hang tight until backup arrives.

Bumblebee was hot on his trail trying to tire him out and indeed the con medic was beginning to feel the burnout. He attempted and fakeout, which bought him just a little bit more time, but jostled Zucky unceremoniously around, and she fell over on her side. The dragon started kicking furiously at the door. If there's one thing she learned from trashing Ratchet's vehicle mode, it was that everything about them is alive, even down to seatbelts and doorhandles.

As she kicked she pushed her neck out, which allowed her to headbutt the opposite door with her horns. The claws on Zucky's feet and the ridges of her horns were leaving multiple scratchmarks all over Knockout's interior. This was obviously getting on his nerves. So much so, he just wanted to drive to the nearest cliff and toss her out, but unfortunateky for him, that wasn't an option at all.

Instead he flipped her back upright with the seatbelts and pulled them tightly, securing her in place. Zucky tried kicking as hard as she could at the front seats, feeling frustrated with her perdicament. Although being kidnapped wasn't a pleasant experience to begin with, she detested being a damsel in distress with a fury of a thousand suns! "Wait a minute?"

The dragon got an idea; it was crazy, but at this point she'd try anything to get away from the crazy doctor of doom. She started trying to breathe fire, to see if this webbing was any fireproof or not. With luck, she could free herself and start 'helping' from the inside out.

Suddenly a groundbridge opened, through which Bulkhead drove out at high speed. Thinking he might have a chance escaping by using the portal, Knockout was going to try and enter it as quick as he could before it closed. He was too late to notice, as Breakdown just started appearing! The Blue decepticon mowed Knockout over and sent him careening out of his way, rolling, flipping and sustaining multiple injuries before he came to a stop.

"Okay Ratchet, bridge!" Bulkhead stopped at a distance and let Miko out. "That's enough action for you in one day, Miko."
