The whip landed with a hard snap on the board, the sparks bouncing off the tip of the metal weapon.
This hit landed in the center of the bulls eye, a piece of the paper flaming up a small bit and then flickering out. A large buzz rang through the room, a red light blinking on before the normal lights came back on.
Optimus walked over to the board, examining the piece of large paper for a moment. He seemingly nods to himself, sending a smile over his shoulder at a panting Whiplash. Whip gave an exhausted smile back at him, standing up straight and transforming his hand back into a whip.
Sorely Jack and I stood, stretching our arms and legs. After an hour and a half of sparring and target practice, we could safely say we were all a little tired. 
"Well done, Whiplash. It seems you are a very skilled 'Bot. I'm glad you're on our team." Optimus said, holding his hands behind his back. Whiplash's smile broadened, and he nodded fiercely. "Thank you! It's an honor to be on your team." Whiplash chirped. He turned to leave, but optimus placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Wait, before you leave." He reached behind his back and took something out, placing it over the Decepticon symbol on his chest. Whiplash gasped and looked down, his mouth curled up in a Cheshire cat grin, suddenly standing straight as if he were a soldier.
"Thank you sir." He nodded. Optimus held up a hand in a dismissive manor. "Please, call me Optimus." He said. Whiplash nodded, walking over and picking us up. He smiled and headed to the door, looking over and smiling at Optimus. "Well, thank you again... Optimus." And with that he walked out of the door.
Almost instantly Bumblebee and Bulkhead where asking us questions, such as 'how'd it go?' or 'what'd he make you do?' making Whiplash laugh his sweet laugh. After a brief explanation, they both, in unison, nodded with an 'ohh'. Whip, Jack and I laughed at how the two spoke perfectly together at times.
A buzz suddenly shook my behind, and I looked down to my side that I sat closest to Whip's head with. I suddenly realized my phone was in my pocket. I took it out and turned it on, nearly dropping it to the cement floor. Again, there was a message from Callie, this time a picture was with the small message.
'𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓽𝓪𝓴𝒆 𝓽𝓸𝓸 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰. 𝓦𝒆 𝓪𝓻𝒆 𝓫𝒆𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓲𝓶𝓹𝓪𝓽𝓲𝒆𝓷𝓽. ℐ𝒇 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓭𝓸𝓷 𝓽 𝓱𝓾𝓻𝓻𝔂, 𝓽𝓱𝒆𝓼𝒆 𝓽𝔀𝓸 𝓶𝓪𝔂 𝓹𝓪𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝒆 𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓬𝒆...'
Along with a terrifying picture.
My mom and dad were tied to a metal pole, surrounded by tall 'Bots who were hidden in the shadows. But one thing showed out of the shadows.
The bright light of a lazer.
In stunned shock, I dropped my phone, luckily it landed on Whip's foot then plunked to the floor. I stared in shock as the Autobots started surrounding us. The world started spinning, then suddenly went black. The last thing I saw or heard was whiplash catching me quickly, his distressed voice calling for ratchet and my name was the last sound before things went silent...
