Cybertron stories - Omega Squadron

Chapter 7 - No man's land

After a successfull escape from the Decepticon prison yet being tailed by Starscream and his men the Omega Squadron was shot down  by them so that the execution of them would be done. Megatron had Laserbeak going after Starscream and his men, believing that he wasn't capable to destroy them. And so he was right. They had been knocked out cold from the impact after the ship they stole lost one of its engines. Now they are trapped in no man's land. Their main priority right now is to return to Autobot headquarters to get some repairs.

Nimbus: Gahhh, my head, it hurts. 

Crossfire: ...I feel like I've been stabbed, he turned his head to the left to see that his arm has a broken pipe impaled right through it, well scrap. Can't even move the damn thing.

Nimbus: What do you expect smartass? Your arm has gotten impaled from the impact, he replied to him and tried to get up.

Crossfire: Just help me out here, thank you. Nimbus helped him up from the rubble of ship parts he was buried in. Easy! he said to him. His arm then came off. He sighed. 

Nimbus: Well...at least Ratchet can probably give you a hand  to fix your problem. He laughed a little to his own joke.

Crossfire: Real funny...where are the others? 

A small grunting noise came from the back of the ship. Out came Hydra that had broken his leg.

Nimbus: Boss! Nimbus and Crossfire hurried over to help him.

Crossfire: You okay boss?

Hydra: Does it look like I'm okay?! My leg is completely broken, I've lost half of my armor here on the front and I'm leaking like a fueltank right now! He angrily replied back to him. 

Helios had fallen out of the ship and managed to kick the door open but collapsed as he tried to take step into the ship. Crossfire went over to help him up.

Crossfire: Easy now, soldier. 

Hydra: Where's Omega Bravo? 

Nimbus: I don't know. He may be in the back. 

Helios: Put me down....I need...to rest..he coughed up some energon and almost collapsed again. Omega Bravo crawled out from a pile of spilled out energon cubes that had fallen onto him.

Omega Bravo: Everyone alright? He asked them. They all looked at him. Omega bravo got a little suspicious about what they were looking at him like that. What?

Hydra: Your...visor. It's gone.

Nimbus: So is your mouthplate.

The other four were shocked as they had never seen Omega Bravo without a visor and mouthplate.

Omega Bravo: Just that? Hell, I lost half of my back here! And you four are so surprised to see that my faceplate AND visor is gone!

Crossfire: Calm down. We  have to get back to base until we all die out here.

Hydra: Crossfire's right. We need to reach the base or else we're doomed. As of now, we have to walk through no man's land with all the strength we have. And be ready for any sneak attacks. Now move out out!

Crossfire carried Helios over his shoulder while Nimbus gave Hydra a part of the ship to use it as a walking stick to aid him for movement. They had a long way to go. They had never been to this part of Cybertron; no man's land, as it was just left as a barren wasteland with corpses, destroyed buildings and machines. It was hard to see too, as smoke was covering the area. They had been walking for minutes but to them it felt like hours. They didn't know if time had stopped. It's like that no man's land kept on going and going and going. Exhausted, damaged and leaking energon little by little for how long they had been walking. They knew that their time was coming.
