Gotta go fast

Chapter 5

Her heart was racing in her chest, the adrenaline pumping through her veins. The ground was so far away but she was getting closer the more she screamed. Given the few seconds that she had remaining she could only think about why she had jumped. The memory flashed before her as the nights cold air brushed through her hair.

She had jumped because Knock Out had asked her too. Because if she didn't then they would be overwhelmed by the autobots that had somehow appeared out of a green swirl just like Breakdown had done as well. At the moment that she had ran and jumped off the dangerous cliff she thought that it was kind of cliché that she didn't hesitate to do as he had said especially considering most people would say no to such a request. It put a new perceptive on when people would say "if they told you run in front of a car would you?

It didn't matter anymore because she trusted Knock Out and she had jumped.

She now plummeted to the ground, she watched as it grew closer and closer. Her eyes couldn't grow any wider now as she was sure they would pop out. Her screaming got louder as a rock on the cliff face stuck out and it was very clear that Luna was going to hit that first before the ground.

Her instinct was telling her to look away but there was no time, before she could register what was going on a metal hand wrapped around her and she was pushed away from the cliff. Before long a loud thud sounded it was almost like a clap of thunder as well as a cloud of dust surrounded her. It took a minute for the dust to settle so that she could see. Luna's chest ached so much she was sure that her rib cage would soon give to the pounding of her heart. When she could finally see she set her ocean gaze on the digits that held her tight, her gaze followed the arm right to its owner.

Knock Out held her close to him a grin on his lip plates as he stood from a kneeling position after landing firmly on the floor. Lifting the young woman so that she was eye level with him "You jumped?"

Luna was confused at why he was questioning why she jumped "Of course, you asked me to"

"But you're scared of heights" He thought back to when he had picked her up to get her attention and he had realised that she was uncomfortable with the height.

His thoughts were interrupted by her reply "I trust you Knock Out. Although if I had it my way I wouldn't have jumped at all" she returned his smile and they just stared at each other in silence.

It didn't take long for the silence to be interrupted by another loud thud but it wasn't as loud as when Knock Out had landed. The pair looked over to the settling dust a blue light getting brighter and brighter as though it were charging up.

"Release the human Knock Out" a female voice from the dust cloud sounded

It was then that the dust revealed a blue female standing with her arms pointed towards the two her hands had shifted in to blasters. Knock Out's grip on Luna shifted to be firmer it was obvious that he was keeping her close. "Arcee what a pleasure" The medic placed his other hand on his chest as he tried mocking her.

"Save it decepticon. Put the human down"

"What makes you think I'm a threat to her?" he asked

"The blood on her face" They had completely forgotten about that which was the main cause of the sudden battle. Luna's attention shifted from one to the other. She knew that Arcee saw Knock Out and Breakdown as a threat to her but she knew differently. War or no War.

"So you're going to jump to conclusions, I would have thought that the autobots would ask first before running in guns firing"

The femme was quite surprised at the human's outburst but she didn't lower her weapons. "Really Arcee we both know that you would never fire your weapons. Not while you believe a human is in danger" as he finished his sentence he turned around and carefully placed Luna on the ground. His attention immediately going back to the blue autobot. When they had moved her hands reappeared and they both began fighting.
