Untouchable

Chapter 6

Smokescreen kept on running around, tired, yet determined to get out of this place. I'm not going to be able to find an exit, I have to get a weapon of some sort to defend myself.

Searching in the rooms, Smokescreen found nothing. He also became easily lost in this maze of hallways. He heard footsteps of bots running around, trying to find him. Smokescreen stopped to get a quick rest. I need a plan, he thought.

"That was a dumb move to stop, even for a quick rest."

Smokescreen turned around, expecting a bot behind him, startled and scared. He felt relieved to see nobody there.

Which of course washed away as heard the next message.

"You idiot. We have security cameras everywhere, you know that? Doesn't matter where you go, we see you.", Darkrun continued on the hidden announcement speaker or whatever.

"You better run while you can. Make your pathetic spark last a little longer", Raindrowner said. Smokescreen could literally hear her sharpen her blade, the scratching giving him a very creepy feeling.

Smokescreen didn't have a plan, and he was bound to be found. The only thing he could do until then was blindly run around. He cursed his luck.

Suddenly the footsteps became louder. Smokescreen looked back and saw the Decepticon drones. Or rather Transformer drones. Like Raindrowner and Darkrun, they had green optics instead of red. 

There were too many of them. Maybe a little less and he could hand to hand fight them, no issue. But nope. And they had their blasters pointed at him. Smokescreen was greatly outnumbered.

"Scrap."

Smokescreen quickly turned to another direction, transformed, and sped away. The hallway was a bit narrow, but this way was much faster. 

Only to see more drones. Smokescreen, barely dodging the blasts, transformed and managed to kick their faces. He then noticed another room.

One with a weapon rack.

He quickly ran inside, praying to the Primes that he could make out of this mess alive.

Grabbing a gun, he shot all the bots. Well not all of them. Endless waves of them came, and he just narrowly avoided a shot to the servo. He thanked the Primes for their bad aim.

But Smokescreen knew that Raindrowner would be here any minute, ready to end him. And that would just be it, simple as that.

Knockout grabbed a knife and a small gun. He didn't have much weapons anymore, and his saws have been long removed for "safety hazard" reasons. Yeah right. 

Rechecking Smokescreen's coordinates, he hoped that his finish wasn't going be so ruined. You really owe me one Smokes, he thought.

When he got to the place though, he didn't see an entrance or a building of some sort.

Well duh, I'm such an idiot, why would this be easy?

He transformed and walked around, looking for a clue. He then saw something on the ground. A symbol. A green human eye. Carefully inspecting it, he bent down to observe. Putting his digits on it, he wondered what it could mean. Looking closer, he saw something. The eyelashes to the eye were actually a combination number. 7 numbers.

Naturally, Knockout tried 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

And unnaturally it worked. Knockout smirked. Those cons really needed to review their security. A square piece of concrete, the one with the eye, slid down, revealing stairs. Knockout hesitated at first. Then he reminded himself why he was here and slowly walked down.

Knockout reached downstairs to find an endless array of hallways and rooms. Knockout went to check the first one out and found the Phase Shifter. From Smokescreen, he realized. He put it on his servo and ventured on to look for him.

Smokescreen was having trouble keeping up and continued shooting away. Suddenly one of the drones shot at Smokescreen's gun, which broke. 

"What kind of terrible material is this stupid little piece of scrap made from!", Smokescreen yelled. Throwing the broken gun away, he grabbed a blade. Not his best weapon and Smokescreen didn't have much experience, but at this point, he couldn't care less.

Slashing the remaining drones, he realized none of them were coming. He heard loud footsteps, no doubt Raindrowner, here to kill him.

Smokescreen tensed prepared for death and fighting. 

As the shadow came closer, Smokescreen charged, prepare to go down fighting.

"Whoa, dude chill!", the shadow said. Smokescreen this time carefully looked and saw the cherry red bot.

He did not expect to see Knockout.

"Sorry. And how are you here", Smokescreen asked, confused.

"Um, you sent a message to me? Your memory files okay?"

"Oh.", Smokescreen said. I must have sent it to him accidentally. Oh well, better not to mention that to Knockout. 

"Thanks. For you know, coming for me. And um sorry I guess for earlier", Smokescreen muttered, embarrassed.

"You should be sorrier for my finish! Look at it, scratched up and dented!", Knockout screeched.

Despite the situation, Smokescreen smiled. Con or Autobot, Knockout would always be attached to his cherry red paint job.

"Any more last words, bots? I need to get this killing job done, you know. I mean I didn't expect a, well extra guest to provide my services to, but I'll gladly do it. The more the merrier.", Raindrowner smiled.
