You're Not Alone (TFP)

Chapter 18: Rescue Mission

     I look up at the black sky that was littered with stars. There was some clouds here and there."I can see why you like coming up here, Sire." I thought to myself. I then look down from the top of the base. "I just realized how high I was."

     "Just realized?" The voice ask, though I could hear the amusement.

     I slightly look back up. "You still haven't told me your name." I said to him.

     His response was, "You'll find out soon enough."

     "Of course." I said sarcastically.

     "Besides, you have to save Optimus Prime. He needs you, including Saphirra."

     He didn't have to tell me twice. Without looking back down, I walk backwards in order to get ready to jump, determination and adrenaline starting to rush through me at full speed. "And I need them as well. I'm not about to abandon them. Not now. Not in a few years. I will NEVER leave them behind to suffer!" I ran forward, spreading my wings out, and jumped off. I lean towards the ground as I felt gravity taking over. I felt the wind hitting me at full speed, getting closer to the ground. I shut my eyes tight as I tilted my wings up. I waited for the impact, but it never came. "Amber, open your optics." The voice chuckled.

     I slowly open my eyes to see that I was close to touching the clouds. I was in complete shock. I slowly raise my hand to a cloud andI felt moisture surround it. I chuckled as I look down. I was pretty far up. "I can't believe it." I thought. I was actually flying. Out of curiosity, I tilt my wings downward a little and I flew down. I straightened out and I flew forwards. "This seems easy." I thought.

    I lower my right wing down while raising my other one, and I start to turn right. I then did the opposite and caused me to turn left. I started to get the hang of it when pain shot through my arm. I quickly roar out in pain and I felt myself falling. I clutch it as I flap my wings frantically. I knew that it won't do me no good, so I straighten them and I stopped spinning to where I was diving towards the ground. I then flap them forward, resulting in me hovering in place. The pain... It came from Optimus!

    I put an index finger on the comn. "Ratchet, send a Groundbridge to the spot. He is now injured in his arm."

     "Scrap!" He responded.

     I close my eyes, thinking of what to do. Considering that they took Optimus, who was the 'main' bot, they would take him to a place that was well fortified. There'll be more guards and soldiers there than what she encountered before. He has an injury in his leg, which means that he will have difficulty walking. His arm is damage as well, so he can only use his other arm to defend himself. The bots can't barge in there, they'll be expecting them. Maybe Saphirra can help, that is, if both of them are even in the same building.

     My eyes widen a little as a plan was forming in her mind. "Ratchet, I have a plan."

Saphirra's P.O.V.

     I was drenched in sweat, not only from the heat in the room, but from fear as well. I took deep breaths as I tried to calm my heart. I'm so scared. No matter what I do, I can't escape. Every time when I feel like I had receive my freedom, I would get electrocuted. It is painful for just a normal human, but I'm not normal. I can control water like my big sister, Amber, but she controls fire instead. Water amplifies electricity, making it more painful for me. I look around the dark room for the hundredth time. There was no use to. There was nothing here.
