Sunstreaker's vengeance ✔️ (book 1)

16. injured

Sideswipe was driving like a maniac, even now he was injured. I didn't know how bad it was, but some Energon dripped from his doors and on the floorboard. "I am so sorry! I couldn't say anything and this guy~" Sideswipe cut me off immediately. "Hey! I get it... I am gonna finish that soldier later," he said. "How do you even load this thing?" I asked, turning the rifle a couple of times. Sideswipe sighed "do you mind if I keep my eyes on the road?"

"Sorry..."

I leaned back, looking in the rear mirror. "Sides... we have company," I said. "Ugh, that guy is chasing me all the time! He's driving me crazy! I tried to kill him before but he fled!" Sideswipe snarled over to his radio. "Then why don't you kill him now?" I asked. "Because you are here and I am not gonna make the same mistake twice!" he growled. "Well that guy behind us is gonna shoot at us..." I said. "Damn it!" Sideswipe cursed as he almost got hit. "Get off the road! Go that way!" I pointed towards a small local town. "Why?" he asked. "Just do it!"
Sideswipe wasn't happy at all with my suggestion, but surprisingly enough he got off the road, driving towards town. I looked in the rear mirror again. The cement truck wasn't as fast and sleek as Sideswipe was. "Who's he?" I asked. "That's mixmaster... I hate that guy," Sideswipe grunted. "Quickly! Use the ally!" I said, pointing at the small ally. Both his mirrors were ripped off his body and I heard the sides scratch against the bricks. Sideswipe groaned, scowling at me for suggesting this. Mixmaster came to a stop, but transformed, smashing the buildings. Some of the brigs hit Sideswipe's roof, denting it.

"I thought~"

"What about... you let me think!" He snapped. I raised my hands "Just trying to help you..."
"Sideswipe made a U-turn, throwing me and Enderman out in process before he transformed. I grabbed my cat, pulling him against my chest. Sideswipes once silver armor was totally scratched and dented. Mixmaster fired at him, knocking Sides off his tires. I noticed the right tire he used to skate around is flat. He was limping, not able to skate around anymore. He's out of balance. 

Energon poured from a huge gap in his hip. I had to do something before Mixmaster was going to kill him. I grabbed the rifle, trying to load it. I just did some random things, I didn't know if I was doing it right. There was a soft click, so I presume I loaded it. I got up, aiming it on Mixmaster, trying to get a clear shot. N.E.S.Ts' weapons are very advanced and built to fight large alien robots. I fired, and the bullet coming from this rifle went straight through Mixmaster's armor and exploded. Sideswipe used and drilled his large deadly cybertronian blade through Mixmaster's chassis. The Decepticon collapsed on the floor, not moving anymore.
Sideswipe limped a little, grabbing a building. "We should call the others!" I said. Sideswipes optics were dull, probably because he's in pain. "Sideswipe!" 

He looked down at me, "I can't... my systems are damaged," he said, sitting down on the floor, throwing his helmet back against the brick wall of the large building. I walked up to him. Energon was flowing from the deep gap in his hip. "I am going into a stasis lock, I am losing too much Energon," he said, pressing with both his hands on his hip. "I don't have my phone either... You need to transform... we can find shelter somewhere, being in the open is too dangerous," I said. Sideswipe shifted "Where do you wanna go? I have a flat tire," he lifted his feet to show me. "I know... you don't have to drive hard... there's probably an abandoned building or what! You can stay there... so you're hiding and I am gonna make a call... somewhere," I said. 

Sideswipe gave a short nod and transformed "let's go that way," I said, pointing at another ally. the once gorgeous and shiny Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2009 was now completely dented and scratched. "Can't you get contact with your brother over the bond you two share?" I asked. "That idiot closed his side of the bond! He does that during battle so if he gets injured I don't feel his pain." Sideswipe explained. I sighed, listening to the strange sound of his flat tire while driving next to me. I walked up to an abandoned house with a small garage, pushing the door open. "I think you're covered in here pretty well," I said.
