The Second Star

Chapter 10

Days later, i'd guessed it was safe enough to leave to get hot cocoa again, so with my new eyepatch and money, i leave, heading for the cafe. When i get into the town

"EXIE!!!" i hear Cappy, she sounds Angered. I look to her, and give an amused smile. I see her cannons forming, and i walk off. Yeah, i'm a Decepticon, but i'm not starting this fight.

"You'll have to catch me if you want to fight" i hiss, and i hear cannon fire. I see the shot barely misses, and i flinch, before pushing myself into a run, skidding to turn into an alley, i push myself to jump to a wall, catching myself on some indents on the wall with my left side. I can't even see them with my eyepatch on. I keep climbing, and when i run out of footholds, i look to the other wall, seeing some there too. I hop across, catching the wall. Sadly, i hear skidding footsteps, and i glance over. Seeing Cappy running in. Shoot! Climbing faster, i hear more cannon fire. I don't have Armor! Ugh! I jump to the first wall, but i'm too short on the jump, and i feel my cannons form, and i fire downwards, feeling myself boost upwards, and i tumble onto the roof. I take a shaky breath in, and roll inwards, keeping myself safe from her blasts. Sheesh, i didn't know she hated me that much after that one day. I sigh, relaxing, before i hear a whir, laced with anger, and something landing on the roof i'm on. Looking up to where the noise came from, i see the yellow Autobot who i kept hearing Cappy call Bee. i get up, my cannons unforming, and soon enough Cappy gets up as well. She glances to the Cybertronian with a smile, but then Glares at me.

"And to think i Trusted you" she growls, which makes me want to roll my eyes. Usual of the Autobots. Way too trusting.

"Bad choice" i state, hearing another land on the other side of me.

"I told you she could talk" i hear Matthew and i growl

"You have no reason to speak, Traitor" i growl, spinning around to stare him down. He glares at me.

"Oh you're using what Megatron calls me? How honored should i be" he growls. The fabric over my eye is turning red. I'm getting angered.

"Exie! You'll be safe with the Autobots! We know how the Decepticons treated Matthew--" "And they'll do it to me? No. i'm not leaving to become a traitor too" i growl, cutting the woman off. C'mon... i can't take three all on my own...

"You're coming into captivity" Matthew growls, and i roll my eyes.

"Catch me first" i hiss at him, before running to the side that's not monitored, er, blocked, but another Autobot cuts me off, making me flinch back, and stumble a bit. Red and blue plates of metal cover him. Prime. I growl, backing up. I'm trapped by all sides. I hear cannons charging up, and when i look behind me, all three, Bee, Cappy, and Matthew have cannons charged, and ready to fire at me. They'd kill a fellow Techno-organic that easily? I wince, glancing to the sky, seeing no one. Dang it. No reinforcement for me... i lift my hands to my eyepatch, reluctantly taking it off. Through my left eye, they all look red. I'm trapped by all sides. What do i do...

"And to think i just wanted hot chocolate" i grumble, glaring at Cappy. She blinks, but glares back.

"You're going to keep me from a Drink? Are all Autobots this cruel?" i bite, spinning around to glare at the Prime. His bright blue optics glare down at me

"We do this to protect Earth" he states, and i sigh

"Look old man. I can't live on the planet you all destroyed" i growl, feeling a vibration in my pocket. Oh yeah. Phone. But a rift opened.

"Shouldn't you four be leaving me, and go to protect that rift?" i point out, and i hear Cappy's cannons powering down.

"Someone opened a portal?" she asks, and i nod. I forgot they called them portals, and not rifts.
