𝐑𝐔𝐍. 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐄𝐃 within her helm as the world around her went quiet. The only sound that trickled through her audio-receptors was the stifled crunch under her pedes with each step as she spun around with Bumblebee.
The silver alt-modes of the Decepticons pursued behind them. All five were moving so quickly, yet not at all. It was as if she had all the time in the world to run from bots who were aiming to kill them, but she only moved just as fast. It was like a dream.
"Ecli—"
"Eclipse!"
The noise that was held back by a dam had suddenly broken free, rushing right back to her.
Her helm snapped to the side, finding Bumblebee beside her who had been the one who yelled.
The time returned to normal, only then did she realize how fast they were actually running. The once slow-moving alts behind them were gaining on them, only prompting the pair to go faster.
Bumblebee raised his arm, aiming his cannon at a partially broken, but still standing, wall coming up on their right. He fired, the pieces crumbling to the ground. Her optic-ridges furrowed, what is he—
He nodded his helm toward it, "Get to high ground. Go!"
Her optics widened in realization. The rubble somewhat made a makeshift ramp to the roof of one of the shorter buildings.
Eclipse had apparently taken a moment too long because a servo connected with her back as he shoved her toward the debris. She tripped over her pedes slightly as she caught her balance but continued up the demolished steel and onto the first roof.
The femme ran quickly once she was able to steady herself, not thinking twice to jump over the small spaces in between the still standing buildings. Bumblebee drove down on the ground, Eclipse nearly matching his pace but from higher ground. She was slightly behind since she didn't have the advantage of being able to be in her alt, but it was enough to keep up.
Her attention moved from where she would place her pedes next to where they were going.
The feeling of dread clutched her spark when she noticed they were heading straight for an enormous wall.
It towered higher than any skyscraper that stood in the city. The wall was one of the many barriers built around the area to keep Decepticons out, which only worked for so long.
Frantically, her optics scanned the area for an escape only to find there were no turns, no exits to slip through, nothing. It was too close to the outer ring. Everything was blocked by the buildings so close you could reach out and touch the other through a window. It was simply a dead-end and Bumblebee had nowhere to go with five Decepticons behind him. Just their luck.
