Torn between ~ Transformers Prime

Chapter 3

" energon trail? "

I cracked open my eyes, a soft red glow coming from them. The sound of distant footsteps alarmed me, I painfully heaved my broken body off the ground, which was at first the stone was a light tan but was now blue with my blood.

I quickly looked for the shortest ridge that up would maybe be able to climb up and get out. For walking out of the only exit was not an option. My injured foreleg was ' usable ' and I quietly rushed, looking for the fastest way out.

Being an idiot I launched myself at the wall beating my uninjured wing as hard as I could, to gain momentum. I planted my talons onto the wall before scrabbling at it, not caring if I made noise, I had to get out.

My foreleg started throbbing painfully but I continued launching at the wall trying to scale up it but I could only get so far. At one point I heard the voices and footsteps getting louder " it definitely went this way, most likely crashed back there. " said the same voice. I hissed angrily, ' i am not an IT! ' I thought in rage.

My wing and foreleg gave out and I crashed back into the ground, I growled before getting up again. If I couldn't climb or fly out, I would fight out. I shrieked down the canyon walls towards the bots coming this way, it echoed down.

I huffed out and found a very dark corner and I slumped against the wall not caring if my tail, destroyed wing and part of foreleg showed, I would be found eventually.

After maybe 5 minutes, a smaller blue and gold bit with doors with numbers on his back walked into my ' prison ' following behind him was the yellow and black bot. I glared menacingly, making my eyes glow brighter against the darkness.

" I don't see anyth- " the blue bot said but was suddenly cut off when I snarled, smacking my tail against the ground making a loud clanging sound echo around. I heard their blasters charging, I slowly stood. Leaning against the wall, pulling my wing and tail to me so only they could see my glowing red eyes in the darkness.

" what in the name of primus... " the blue one said raising his gun, the yellow more hesitantly, perhaps from thinking I was still friendly or something. " come out where we can see you! " he yelled trying to look brave, younger than others. I stayed as close to the wall as possible, leaning against it as I walked, or hobbled.

I had my good wing flayed out so it covered my Injured wing and arm, so I would look weak. My neck curled like a swans with my head close to my chest, growling, I was fully in view.

I had left a trail of blood as I walked, obvious I was wounded but I was hiding it. " bee, what do we do?! " the blue one said to the yellow one, which was called bumblebee. Lots of beeps and whirring sounds came from bee.

Bee stepped closer to me and I hissed at him, snapping my jaws. Snarling I decided to scare them off, a bright red glow appeared on my chest and swiftly moved up my neck towards my head before I roared a blast of flame, not directly at them, but close enough to show I wasn't kidding.

" watch it! " yelled blue bot, which bee had ' said ' names was Smokescreen.  I snarled crouching close to the ground before letting loose a piercing shriek as I leaped at Bumblebee, smacking smokescreen with my tail, pinning bee to the ground.

Bee tried pushing me off but I didn't budge, my claws digging into his shoulders. I raised my head, bright red glowing up my throat slowly, in a warning way. I opened my jaws wide and snarled before a blue blast struck the side of my head, a second before flames erupted from my jaws into the canyon wall.

A few other blasts hit me in the head, neck and one in my side. I felt light headed but I continued attacking, until I saw they weren't in between me and the exit. I quickly slammed past Smoke and charged down the tunnel. My talons were thundering on the ground as I gained speed, preparing to fly as soon as I was in the clear.

I saw the opening just a few meters in front of me, I was so close. My wings hurt but I had to escape the autobots and find someplace where no one could find me until this was over. As soon as I blast out of the tunnel I trumpeted loudly in victory, I opened my wings, but my Injured one could not fully open, only just half way.

Cursing to myself I ran harder, trying to gain as much distance as possible. I heard the familiar sound of an aircraft and I forced my other wing open, which was very painful. I leaped up the side of the large canyon so I was as high as I could be without flying. I saw that the wall I was on was ending and I skidded to a stop regretfully, I stopped right as my claws touched the edge. I staggered backwards and heard a thud behind me.

I concentrated as much flame as I could into my throat and I whipped around, implementing my mouth wide and the flame right at my mouth, just needing to be released and whoever gets proofed to ashes in its wake. A large Red and blue bot stood a ways in front of me, with aircraft wings on his back. His cannon was out at his side, not aiming at me, yet.

I snarled, getting ready to roast him. He watched my actions, I finally let out a angered shriek and released the tingling flame from inside me. The prime easily leapt out of the way, shooting a blast to my injured wing.

I screeched in agony, blood dripping off it as I reared back. Another blast hit my neck and then another to my head. After the last blast I reared up onto my hind legs flailing my functional wing in pain, The blast that hit my head struck pretty much in my eye. Thrashed my head side to side trying to clear it but it was too damaged.

Suddenly, my legs gave out from under me, and I collapsed onto the ground, everything black.
