Terra

Oh, Ship

Lockdown carried me farther into the ship. After so many twist and turns I found myself in a medical bay. I was placed down on a table as we entered the room, "Doc. Here is a fleshling you can do your experiment on. Found the femme on my newest prisoner." Lockdown gave me a cruel look as he left. Just as I was about to make a move, a creepy mad scientist looking bot appeared. In a flash I was bound to the table, my palms facing upwards as they rested on the table. I frantically looked around the room, trying to find something, anything to help me. But it was useless.

"What are you going to do to me?" I asked the bot. "A small experiment. Don't worry. If you die, it won't be detrimental to my work!" The bot started laughing hysterically. Suddenly I felt my body being pierced at my ankles, wrists, behind my knees and the bends of my elbows. Liquid fire race through my body. I could faintly make the sounds of a piercing scream. What I failed to notice was that that scream was coming from me and that a vibrant blue liquid was being injected into me.

"-ra, -erra, Terra!" A deep voice broke me from my sleep. I tried to speak but my voice only lets out a strangled croak. "Terra, Terra can you hear me?" I weakly lifted my head, the inky arms of sleep beckoning me back. "O-Optimus?" I managed to get out. "Terra! What happened? Did they hurt you?" I pulled myself upright. My vision blurred, I was about to answer when I heard Hound, "Big boy coming through! Move, move, move." I blinked rapidly as I faintly made out the bodies of Hound, Drift, and Crosshairs.

"Woah." Crosshairs said looking around. "This has got to be the Supermax. Watch the corners." Hound said stepping over the encompassing rings. "There's a lot of cages." Drift spoke up as Hound and Cross looked at the cages. Cross and Hound were closer to Optimus so as I was about to call out to Drift to get his help, a crash sounded along with Hound yelling, "I'm hit! I'm down! It's melting! It burns! Ah, I think it's acid!" It ended up getting painfully awkward after a moment, "Ah, nuts. It's just shizzle. I gotta hurt you now. You're just too disturbing to live. Take that, bitch!" A blast sounded, "Oh! You're dead."

Optimus called out to Hound, leading the bots to race over to him. I managed to get Drift's attention before he got away. "Drift! Help." I called weakly to him. He paused for a moment to locate where I was before he broke open the cage and held out his hand for me to climb on. "Are you alright, Terra." No, I said weakly, "Let's just get to Optimus." He looked at me before moving over to where Cross was freeing Optimus while Hound ran out to find something.

"Hurry, we have no time," Optimus said to Hound over the com-link. "Sensei." Drift held me out to Optimus. Carefully I slipped into his outstretched hand. The four of us followed the path Hound took. "Will you be alright, Terra?" Optimus asked me gently as we approached another room. "I will be once we are off this godforsaken ship and I get my hands on a gun," I growled as a flash of pain spasmed my muscles. We arrived in the cockpit, I guess, of this smaller ship. Hound was at the controls, "We're almost there." "Hurry, he's launching!" Optimus urged Hound while he still held me.

"All over it, chief." "Lockdown will be in deep space before he realizes I'm gone." Optimus looked at us as he spoke. "I'm a sucky pilot, but let's give it a whirl." I felt a shriek slip from my mouth when Hound punched the ship forward, "Hell, yeah!" I flattened myself on Optimus's hand as his fingers closed around me. I clung onto his hand as best I could, but I kept slipping around. 'Damn it, stop moving!' I thought and a moment later I felt like I was strapped in place. I lifted my head up to see what looked like netting holding me down in place. Optimus opened his closed fist, so he would see what he was feeling. I could tell he was about to speak when Hound called out, "Brace yourselves."

Optimus closed his fist and brought me closer to his chest as we crash landed. Once everything settled Optimus reopened his hand. I felt 4 pares of eyes on me as I lifted my head. "Terra, what is this?" "I really don't know. Snatched it from KSI. I think it is the same stuff they use to make their own transformers. I just don't know how it took this form." Right as Cross was about to comment, the netting started to remove itself and reform the bracelets that I snuck the stuff out as. Once it had all returned to me, Optimus looked to Drift, "Send Bumblebee our coordinates."
