Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 34: Rage of the Worst Pain

I am so sorry for missing not only one update but two. Things got out of hand, school is now hounding on me and the election got the best of me. I was freaking out on who would win. I'll post a second chapter this week on Friday as a make up. Thank you all for waiting patiently or impatiently!

Still 3rd POV Location: a back road

Worry is what Jazz when he saw Aubrey fall to the ground. His charge was trying to get up and away from the Decepticons around them. Her energy was depleted after running from the pit spawned Cons around him. There wasn't anything he could do. Three other Cons stood against him and he needed to offline them all for the humans' safety.

Defeat is all Jazz could feel as he saw Aubrey get scooped up by one of the three Cons. Anger filled him the next moment. His frame moved all on its own, fighting through the pain flaring in his system.

His charge was left on the ground as the three surviving Cybertronians flew away from the scene; the human woman still in their grasp. Jazz picked Zeke off the ground for his protection in case they came back for him.

All the mech could do was watch the afterburners of the jet blast away. Aubrey cried for the twins in hope of receiving help from them. None of them could take the risk of blasting one out of the sky. If they did, the jet would crash and possibly kill Brey in the process.

The twins snapped their helms in the direction, pure rage morphed onto their face plates. In unison, they shouted back with a call of her name. For a moment, Jazz thought he saw their optics flicker red. Uh-oh, he was going to be in trouble if they revert back to their gladiator mode. Two things could only stop them if they did: manually putting them in statis or Aubrey.

Jazz couldn't do that in his state and with the human in servo and Brey was taken. That's when the familiar sound of engines coming towards him. He glanced behind him and sorrowfully sighed as the group he called for just arrived. Five kliks too late.

They transformed and surveyed the scene. Optimus and Ratchet the first to approach him. Jazz held out his charge for the medical bot could check him over and take care of any injuries.

Off to the side, the twins were venting extremely hard where their shoulders were rising noticeable with each intake. Their optics bored into the sky, the jets could be barely seen. There was nothing they could do at the moment to get her back and they knew that, that's what was pissing them off even more. Their sparkmate was taken from them right in front of their optics.

Again, their optics flickered red and nearly stayed that color. The Autobots must act quickly or they'll have two problems on their servos.

Optimus looked around Jazz then glanced at the Terror Twins. Confusion struck him, why were they acting that way? Then realization. Aubrey wasn't in sight and the two were covered in energon so they wouldn't risk injuring Brey. The defeat and destroyed aura that Jazz backed up that thought. "The Cons, they took Bre'," is all Jazz said.

The poor mech felt like a failure for not keeping Aubrey safe. Sides and Sunstreaker placed her safety into his servos. Jazz felt cleaning fluid building up at the ridge of his optics. His visor thankfully blocked anyone from seeing him in that state.

Horror and shock passed over Ratchet's face. Optimus though already figured it out before hand. "Let us leave and gather our bearings back at base. We will discuss there on how to retrieve Miss Aubrey from the Decepticons," Optimus ordered and turned to face the still raging Terror Twins. A slither of fear ran through him. Even the big bot was scared of them; they were a force to be reckoned with.

"Lennox is going to glitch when he hears about this," Ratchet stated the obvious.

"That's an understandment. He's goin' ta probably weld our afts ta tha ceilin'," Jazz mumbled and noticed Optimus still facing the twins. "They aren't takin' it well. Do ya think we hav' ta put them in statis?"
