Gotta go fast

Chapter 16

He couldn't believe what his optics were seeing when he came through the ground bridge just as it closed. The large building he had come to spend so much time in with Luna really was giving off black smoke. The glass windows were smashed with shards of glass littered on the ground while large flames danced around the window edge. The middle part of the roof had collapsed down inside. The large doors were open the slightest bit allowing large gusts of smoke to exit the building. Knock Out's audio receptors could only make out the crackling of fire but not any struggling of anyone inside. His spark pulsed with a glimmer of hope that she was safe and not inside. "LUNA!" the medic shouted for her hoping that he would get a response but there was nothing not even a cough for air.

He tried to open the door wirelessly but nothing was responding. Running up the metal he hit it once stilling calling out for the brunette woman. Concern growing each moment he didn't hesitate to act then, taking a step back he ran at the door and rammed into it. He was disappointed when it only made a dent so he did it again this time the door crumpled to compensate for the pressure it was under. Seeing how weak the door now was he kicked it one final time and watched as it fell inwards to the ground. Fire then began to block the exit as it had a new source of oxygen. The inferno didn't scare Knock Out so he ran straight in and scanned around. "LUNA!"

He couldn't find her which worried him further. The ceiling above that had yet to collapse then jerked slightly making small bits of rubble fall down before the medic could move further he heard a groan coming from the living area. Turning around his path was blocked by burnt rubble and a blazing fire that began moving closer to him.

He jumped through the fire and dug in the rubble being careful where he moved things. Some of it was burnt wood and crumbled in his servos which left black marks on him but he wasn't bothered about it he only wanted to find Luna. Lifting up a half burnt wooden beam him optics widened when he saw her. Her body blackened and her clothes ripped into tattered pieces of cloth that it now looked like she was wearing short and a crop top. Knock Out quickly tossed the beam aside and moved various other pieces that was on top of Luna's battered form. He bent down and delicately cupped his hand around her to pick her up. He saw that she was barely conscious. "It's okay Luna, I've got you" he tried to reassure her as he turned to quickly leave but his path was blocked by a bigger blaze. He could go through it easily but Luna couldn't.

Looking for another exit he huffed as he was corned to a wall. He thought a strategy but the best one he could come up with was creating a new door. It's not like it mattered now Luna's home was scrap now. He shifted Luna carefully, not knowing the extent of her injuries, so that she lay along his left arm her head propped up by his elbow joint.

He took a few steps back and positioned his free arm over Luna. Optics narrowed he ran at the wall full force not slowing down at all. As his body collided with the wall he kept his optics on Luna and moved his other arm so that she would not be hurt from any falling bricks.

He kept running so that they were a decent distance from the towering inferno before he stopped to look at Luna. She didn't seem to be breathing properly because of the lack of clean oxygen which worried him. He didn't know too much about the human body but he knew that he would have to try and get some clean air into her system and expel the smoke she probably had breathed in. He Knelt down and examined her, pressing a digit to her chest he pushed down gently the action earned him a mumble from the woman. Repeating the action Luna coughed out to clear her lungs and groaned out in pain. She continued to cough out as she was brought back into consciousness. Her eyes flustered open now that she could breathe properly, her vision was a bit blurry but she could just make out the red figure of Knock Out's face above her. A smile formed on her lips as she saw how worried he looked for her. "Knock Out?" she whispered to him. He could see that she was pleased to see him even more after how he had left her the last time.
