Zara's New Life

Chapter 7: Escape & Discovery.

'This is going to be tough' I thought. 'I only have enough energy to get out of here. Not to stay and fight.'

As soon as I break this chain that bound me to this hell I knew the two guards in front of me were going to be on top of me. I would have stunned them first but they are out range for the condition I'm in. A Decepticon round the corner and looked at me with disapproving red optics. I watched him walk by and out of sight. Now I would have to be quick.

I fired a fire ball at the chain, close to the collar as possible. The sound of the chain breaking alerted the guards, I ran towards them and stunned them with my electricity element. I jumped into the air and started flying in one direction. I manage to get quite a distance before a siren went off and red light lit up the place. I stopped in mid-flight.

"The prisoner has escaped." Said a voice came over the P.A system. I thought I would have gotten further than this. My luck had turned from bad to worse when three 'cons appeared in front of me. I took off, going over them and dodging their swatting hands. When I was a certain distance away they started using their weapons, I got hit by one of the shots but it wasn't strong enough to make me fall but it did reopened some of my wounds. Great something else to make me weak.

I flew along the corridor dodging shots from weapons and swatting hands.

Soon I noticed that the corridor was getting lighter and soon I saw an exit. A shot was fired, I ducked and it went straight past me. At first I thought the shot was meant to hit me but when I noticed where it was heading, I knew it wasn't. I watched the shot hit the top of the door way and bits of metal and dirt came crumbling down. I stopped mid-flight, just hovering there, my only escape had gone.

Something moving out the corner of my eye had brought me back from my thoughts but it was too late; a clawed metal hand caught me. Of all the mechs that stood around, it had to be the leader who caught me, it had to be Megatron. An evil grin appeared on his face plates as he brought up his free hand and took hold of my right wing, his optics flashed brighter and then in one quick movement he broke my wing. I let out an all mighty roar of pain.

"That should stop you from escaping again." He said.

I looked at him through narrowed eyes, tears swelling up in the corners and hissed "piece of junk yard scrap metal." Before teleporting outside.

I took off, running as fast and as best I can. Every part of my body ached, my wounds were still bleeding and now my wing was broken which hurt like pit. Every now and then I would teleport, thinking of the base or outside Optimus' office but I could only go so far in my weakened state and each time I did my wing caned, at least I knew I was heading in the right direction.

.................................... with the Autobots...............................................

Optimus was in the computer room working on Teletran-1, desperately trying to find a way to get me back. He looked away from the screen and shook his head before turning and started walking out of the computer room when....

"weak Allspark signature detected." A femme voice came over the speakers of Teletran-1. O.P turned and looked at the screen, his optics widened when his saw the signal.

:Ratchet, IronHide, Skids, Mudflap, Sunstreaker and Sideswipe. Meat me in the hanger and be ready to leave. Teletran-1 has pick up the Allspark energy signature. I repeat Teletran-1 has picked up Zara's signature.: Optimus commed.

O.P headed to the hanger and met up with some of the Autobots he named along the way, the rest were already in the hanger in their alt mode. Optimus and the others he met up with, transformed down and they headed out with Prime in the lead.
