Smokescreen's P.O.V.
I raced through the forest, the trees and bushes scratching up my yellow and blue paint job. A sudden log in my path appeared. It forced me to transform and fall flat on my faceplates.
'Thank the All-Spark that no one else was around to see that!' I thought. Snapped out of my trance by a branch being stepped on, I transformed both of my servos into cannons and got into a defensive position.
What I was not expecting to see was a human figure stumble through the trees, clutching to the trees as they passed.
Trying to step back, my pede landed in a pile of old, dry leaves. A 'crunch' echoed in the still night air.
"Who's there!" They yelled, pulling out a gun from their waist and pointing it outwards, pressing their back to the tree they were by.
I stayed quiet. The figure circled around the tree, continued to stay with their back to the tree behind them. The looked right at me.
"I asked who's freaking there!" The femme's voice yelled. At least, I thought it was a femme. "I know you're darn there, so start speaking before I fucking shoot!" They demanded.
"Uhhhh..." I trailed off, not really knowing what to say.
The gun's barrel pointed at my pede. A 'cling' hit my audio receptors. I looked down and saw a hole in my pede.
"YEOOOOWWW!" I yelped, grabbing the said appendage in my servos. "What was that for?"
The figure shrugged their shoulders. "A multitude of things, really. To see how you responded, to see if it would kill you, and what you are," they replied, twirling the weapon in their hand.
"And that means...?" I asked cautiously. "Wait what? Rewind a moment, to see if it would kill me? What's wrong with you?" I shrieked. Who in the right mind would shoot someone to see if it would kill them? 'Talk about insane,' I thought.
"I don't know, everything I guess."
We stood in awkward silence for a few minutes.
"I need to take you to Prime," I finally spoke.
The human shook their head. "I ain't goin' to nobody's willin'ly," they snarled, raising their gun.
Again, the awkward silence payed yet another visit. My comm link buzzed, so I quickly tapped it with my digit to receive it.
"Smokescreen, what is your position?" Optimus asked sternly. He sounded upset, and even, do I dare say it, angry.
Rubbing the back of my helm with my servo, I shifted my weight from one pede to another.
"In the forest, sir! I have found the human we were after!" I spoke enthusiastically.
It sounded like Optimus was venting heavily on the other side. "I request that you attempt to grab the human and return back to base," the Prime ordered me before cutting the link.
But when I turned back to grab them, the human was gone.
