Dark Soul

CHAPTER SIX

She was being followed.

Void kept her eyes locked onto the empty barren desert; devoid of any form of hiding places or cover for miles. She first had her suspicions when she heard the sound of pebbles being disturbed by something metallic. Last the ravenette checked, she was far from any form of human civilization and from the cave she had temporarily made her home to test her theory. The fair skinned woman was proven right when two tiny dots turned into bigger dots behind her in her peripheral vision; as if trying to appear as natural landscapes to avoid being seen.

Who are they?

What are they?

Are they working for them?

Cause if they are, those idiots are in for a rude awakening; despite being sore and tired, Void will show them no mercy and will use whatever strength she has left to terminate them.

'Better safe than sorry.', the crimson hued woman scowled out internally as she felt her tail tighten around her waist and her fists clench.

"Where in the pits is this fleshy going?", Cliffjumper groaned out as he leaned his helm back and slumped his shoulder platings, "We've been walking for enternity!"

Arcee rolled her optics at her partner's dramatic behavior as she placed her servos on her hip plating, "It's only been a couple of groons, Cliff. Stop acting like a sparkling and mech up, already!"

"I'm not acting like a sparkling!", the red mech protested before hesitatingly explaining, "I just think this is a waste of time and energon. This is just some weird human who likes to fight, is all!"

The pink and blue femme was about to make a comment but quickly noticed that their target started running at full speed ahead of them.

"Scrap!", Arcee hissed out in alarm, "They're making a run for it!", before chasing after the hooded figure.

"What?!", Cliffjumper exclaimed in shock as he followed after the femme, "Why?!"

"How the scrap should I know?!"

Void's aching body harshly throbbed in protest as her legs and arms worked double time to outrun her stalkers; blood pumping adrenaline within her veins and the sound of drums pounding in her ears. The hood of the ravenette's sweatshirt flapping about as her bangs whipped wildly in her face; tail threatening to unwrap itself from her waist. The fair skinned female can feel the sharp sting of the wind hitting her fresh wounds through her torn clothes as she panted for breath.

She will not allow herself to get captured after all these years of tasting freedom and the promise she vowed to keep.

Even if she has to get her hands dirtied in the process.

"Wait!", a feminine voice called out behind Void; causing her to grow panicked and confused.

How did they catch up to her so quickly?

Taking a risk to look over her shoulder, the ravenette almost tripped over her feet after seeing two huge fucking robots on her literal tail! The ground shook like miniature earthquakes with each step they took but that didn't stop the freaked out horned woman from running; activating her powers as black electricity shrouded her frame and increasing her speed.

"What the frag?!", Cliffjumper's intake dropped in surprise at the human's unexpected, and unnatural, increase of speed before looking at Arcee, "Is that normal?!"

"How the pits would I know?!", the femme yelled out before transforming into her vehicle mode and then speeding off after their target; her partner doing the same thing soon after.

VRRR

The sound of engines caused Void to let out a startled gasp before glancing behind her to see a familiar blue two wheeler and red charger chasing her in place of the robots.

'No fucking way!'

These guys can change their shape?!

"C'mon, kid! We're not going to hurt you!", a male voice came from the horned vehicle in an attempt to reassure the panicked ravenette.

'Lies!'

The fair skinned female let out a frustrated and aggressive snarl towards the metal being as her breathing became labored; her flight or fight instincts starting to shift towards the more violent option. So with her decision made, Void skidded to a stop as she bared her sharp teeth and let out an animalistic growl; crimson hues glowing dangerously under the darkness of her hood. The tingly sensation of electricity coursing within her core and spread throughout her frame started to slowly build up. Black sparks emitted from the female's body as she clenched her hands into fist and eyes narrowing in determination.

Back at the Autobot base, Ratchet was impatiently waiting on an update concerning Arcee's and Cliffjumper's mission; wondering what was taking so long. All they're doing is watching a human and, regrettably, bringing it back with them...

BEEP

BEEP

BEEP

The sound of the computer going off caused the medic to see what the problem was but he let out a surprise gasp at what it showed, "What in the Allspark?!"

Without wasting anytime, the panicked and concerned mech urgently comm linked his two comrades, :Ratchet to Arcee or Cliffjumper! Do you copy?!:

All that answered him was static.

"Woah!"

The sound of turning gears and grinding metal was heard as the two Autobots transformed into their bipedal form; intakes hanging and optics wide in shock and fear. They gawked at their target as black sparks zapped all over their body and the tail that thrashed wildly behind them in irritation. The figure's posture was stiff with her legs spread out and her arms outstretched; clawed hands tightly clenched into fists to the point blood dripped from them. Clothes were flapping about from the sheer force of the electric shroud; allowing the bots to see the manic animalistic snarl adorning their face.

Revealing razor sharp teeth.

Void glared daggers at the metallic being's who dared to follow her and made her use her power; relishing the look of fear on their faces. Hopefully this will teach them a lesson...

If they survive.

Raising both her arms above her head as her muscles tensed and coiled in preparation for her upcoming attack, the pissed off woman hissed out "Get scrapped!", before crouching, bringing her fists down, and slamming them against the hard sandy ground.

BANG

CRACK

A large crater formed around the ravenette while a black colored shockwave erupted from her; blasting Arcee and Cliffjumper off their peds and onto the ground.

Rendering them unconscious.

Small frame trembling from exhaustion and over exertion, Void wheezed out pants as she started to stand on wobbly feet; legs feeling like jello. Her body ached excruciatingly while black dots filled her vision but the the horned woman refused to go down. Suddenly, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her body went limp as she started to fall backwards until-

A cold metallic tendril could be felt wrapping around her waist and being lifted up into the air.

The last thing that Void saw was a metal bird thing before allowing darkness to consume her.
