Cybertron stories - Omega Squadron

Chapter 5 - Captured

On their way back to Cybertron after a succesful mission on Ocean City, the Omega Squadron is dealing with technical difficulties with their ship.

Helios: Ahhh, what's wrong with the controls?! They're glitching all over the place!

Omega Bravo: Something's definitely wrong here. We're losing fuel for some reason.

Hydra: Try to call for help. That's the only thing we can do so far if we're losing fuel and that the controls aren't working.

Omega Bravo: Right. He began to call for help on the transmitter. This is Omega Bravo! If anyone hear me then we need some help out here. Our ship is acting a little weird and we need- GAAAAHHH!!! An electric shockwave pushed him across the ship. Nimbus and Crossfire rushed over to help him up.

Nimbus: You okay there, pal? He asked as they both helped him up from the floor.

Omega Bavo: I've been better...He let out some grunting noise as he felt his circuits were almost burning from that shockwave. What the hell was that?

Nimbus: I think the transmitter might've had a bit of an overdrive or something. I'll look into it.

The lights were flickering and the ship moved even slower Nimbus slammed his hand on the screen.

Nimbus: By the Matrix!! The transmitter's fried! He yelled.

All of a sudden their shipped stopped moving and the lights went out.

Helios: That's it! We're doomed. We're gonna rust out here! No one to help us out of this mess- Hydra slapped him in the face.

Hydra: Get to your senses, Helios! We're NOT gonna die out here. I'm sure half of the message Omega Bravo sent out has been picked up by now. We'll just have to wait.

Time passes by and still no help has arrived.

Helios: Well....? He asked his leader and looked at him impatient.

Hydra: They'll be here. Just take your time...

Helios: Take my time? We've been sitting duck for at least two Mega-cycles! He was filled with anger as he couldn't stand for the help to arrive. Nimbus tried to calm him down but he pushed him aside. Hydra and Helios began to argue and yell at each other while as Crossfire noticed something coming towards them.

Crossfire: Umm, guys? Come and look at this. They stopped arguing and walked up to see that there was a huge spaceship coming towards them.

Helios: Never seen that ship before. Is it our help? He wondered.

Omega Bravo: Hope so...

The large ship stopped right above them and a large hole opened up. Their ship began to shake as it was pulled in by a tractor beam and the hole closed. The ship that pulled them in began moving again. As they were now inside of the big ship, Hydra kicked down the door of their own ship so they could get out.

Hydra: Ship's must've taken a serious beating back at Ocean City.

Omega Bravo: Man...this ship gives me the chills right to my circuits.

Crossfire: We should probably keep our optics peeled. Who knows what's on board here, he said and looked around.

They went on exploring the ship to find the person who pulled them in. They heard heavy footsteps were coming from a direction. They stopped and listened as they got closer and closer. Then the owner of the ship appeared - Lockdown.
