A Cold Flame

Last Kiss Goodbye

Beside me, Gears thrust his arms forward and the two guards holding onto him stumbled and Gears yanked his arms out of their grip. I saw Guncraze take the large sword off his back and raise it to kill Gears as the mech fought off the two guards that tried regaining their grip on him. I moved, getting off my knees and stood in front of Gears as the sword came down.

I had my back to Guncraze, so the sword cut the binds on my wrists holding my arms behind my back. I grab the blade and vaulted over it and as I passed him I twisted my frame and my pede hit Guncraze's helm. The mech's attention was brought from Gears to me. I saw a guard fly at Guncraze, being thrown by Gears, in which the mech turned and slashed his sword.

The blade went right through the guard, in which I jumped at him and bent backwards as he swung at me. The blade passed right over me, scraping my chassis. The small sliver of pain I felt was nothing against my determination and anger. I planted my servos on the ground and my frame went into a back bend.

I push off with my pedes at the right time and Guncraze's sword slashed the air my legs were a second ago. I stand in a handstand, bending my arms and pushing off again and when I landed I landed on the guard behind Whiplash. I landed on his shoulders, wrapping my legs around his neck and I throw all my weight sideways.

I took him down with me, rolling once on the ground and ended up pinning the guard. When I was captured, they locked my weapons up so I couldn't transform my servo to my knife. Instead I see two fists coming down and slammed into the guard's faceplate. I look up and see Whiplash, I was about to smile at him when I notice.

He had the bullet skim his helm, and execution rounds weren't small. On the side there was a long gash from the missed bullet, so deep I could see his processor. I winced, and I didn't know my mistake of being distracted when I feel a heavy weight hit me in the side. That was painful, I cried out and was thrown back from the force. 

I notice Whiplash trying to get up by he was forced back down by Guncraze, the Decepticon mech's pede on his helm. With no words, Guncraze raised his weapon to strike. Before I could take action, or try to, Guncraze was grabbed from behind. Gears stood there, having the mech in a helm-lock and he grabbed Guncraze's wrist with the sword.

The mech yelled in pain as Gears started to pull on it, making him drop the sword. I thought Gears had won, but I see Guncraze lift his free arm and grab Gears's helm. He was able to use his own weight and lurch forward, bringing Gears with him and bent over and Gears's helm caught a control panel. The controls and buttons smashed at the contact.

With a quick movement he switched the positions of the two, but he kept smashing Gears's helm into the control panel. I growl, getting up and running at Guncraze. Running in like that was stupid, but I was desperate to save my sire. Instead Guncraze let go of Gears and turned on me and smashed his fist in my faceplate.

The sheer force knocked me back, seeing darkness swim in my optics. I blink to try to get rid of it, though it stayed. I shook my helm, blinking more before it subsided but not entirely. I saw Whiplash get up and throw himself at Guncraze. Whiplash was two times smaller then the Decepticon mech. Guncraze bent his frame and as Whiplash came at him he ran forward himself.

Wrapping his arms around Whiplash's frame he lifted the mech. Turning he slammed Whiplash into Gears's helm that was buried into the control panel. Gears's frame jerked, electricity arching from his frame as his helm destroyed the controls further. I shake my helm and stand up, seeing some of the metal that flew from the control panel beside me.
