You're Not Alone (TFP)

Chapter 7: The Cave

     "Ratchet, are you sure this is the place?" I asked through the ear piece.

     "Positive." He said back. "Those coordinates are where the signal is coming from."

     "Yeah, well... My senses says otherwise." I replied

     Ever since the Autobots learned of my abilities, I have been assigned to 'scout' places. Miko has been asking me tons of questions about what I can do, but either Optimus or Ratchet comes to the rescue. Ratchet has been curious about my powers as well, but he doesn't ask a whole lot of questions. His way of asking questions is scanning me constantly. Also, by telling me to do this or do that with my abilities. He is trying to figure out what I am. Only because I asked him to. I was curious as well because normal people don't have red eyes, abilities like a Dragon and able to control fire.

     I told Optimus about my powers when we were alone. He was shocked about my powers, and ever since, he trains me using my powers. I am able to control my powers more now. Also, I discovered some things that I could do with my powers as well, like melting cybertronian metal in five minutes, much to Ratchet's surprise.

     Today, Ratchet detected a weird signal in the middle of nowhere, and since the others were on their own mission, I would go check it out, so here I am, looking around for the source. I haven't found anything yet.

    "Clearly, you missed something." Ratchet said annoyed.

    "I promise, Ratchet, I've looked every--" I stopped when I started to feel an aura, but it was weak.

     "What is it?" Ratch asked.

     "I'm feeling an aura, but it's weak." I said, looking to my left. "Going to investigate." I said as I started to walk towards the source.

     "Do I need to do anything?"

     I was a little surprised, but ignored it. "Just check on the others. See how they are doing."

     I kept walking forward. The aura was getting stronger, meaning I was getting closer. Suddenly, Ratch comn me. "Amber, we may have a situation." I could hear the worry in his voice.

     I stopped in my tracks. "What's wrong?"

     "I can't reach Optimus." Red flags go up in my mind. Something bad happened to him. He could be hurt. "Tell the others to look for him at his last known location. I'm getting closer to the aura. Hopefully, it's Optimus." I said. I started to run. The 'cons are the only ones who could hurt Optimus, and if they think they can get away with it, they are terribly mistaken.

     I kept running until I saw a cave. I stopped in front of the cave. The aura was coming from inside of the cave. I comn Ratchet. "Ratch, the aura is coming from inside of a cave. I have to go inside in order to find it. I may lose contact with you guys until I come back out."

     "Do you need back-up?" He asked me.

     "No, I don't think so." I said

     "Be careful."

     "I will" I looked in the cave. "Here goes nothing." I said to myself before I walked in the cave.

     "Where are your fellow comrades?"

     I walked over to the sound carefully. I hid behind a rock and took a look. I quietly gasp. I saw Optimus on the ground, wounds everywhere on him. They were bleeding Energon. There was a Decepticon with pedes like high heel shoes. There were some kind of jet wings on his back. He stepped forward to Optimus. That's when I saw the con's servo. They were dripping with Energon.
