Nya's eyes widen the moment she made direct eye contacted with the seeker commander. "Dang it!" She jumped down from the branch she was lying on and bolted in to the forest. "SCREAMER GET OUT OF HERE!"

She heard the sound of a jet engine take off and someone shouting, "Catch the human! I'll handle Starscream!"

Nya swerved in between the trees, she knew that she couldn't out run them, but she could still put some distance between them. However, it wasn't long before she heard the sounds of heavy metallic feet pounding behind her. She didn't look back, as she quickly slid down a slope and ducked behind some large rocks.

She slipped into a small crack in between the rocks. The heavy metallic steps became closer and closer. She held her breath and became still as a statue, hoping that the viehcons wouldn't think to look for her there. Slowly but sure the steps began to quiet as the viehcons moved away from her.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear them anymore, "ok, Nya you've been in far worse situations before. Just collect yourself. Ok they are maybe twenty times my sizes, they're stronger...faster...and can turn into jets. I'm screwed." She slipped out of the crack, "No, I can't start thinking like that. What do I have? 4 shots in my hand gun, I know the land, and I...Wait that's I..."

She gave a quick, sharp gasp and collapsed to the ground, clutching her chest. Her heart was racing, and it rattled against her chest, making it difficult to breath. "No, not here, not now."

The world around her suddenly began to melt together. The blue of the sky and the brown of the earth began to merge with one another, into a swirly soup, that had no rhyme or reason. Her body felt like it was being twisted indifferent directions. She shut her eyes and just waited for it to be over.

After a few moments she opened her eyes the world was normal, she was lying on the ground, a cold sweat coated her body. "Did I fall?" she said as she picked herself up.

She groaned, there was still a sharp pain in her chest. The shrapnel in her chest had obviously been disturbed in her panic.

"I have to be more careful." She took a deep breath, "Ok, now what am I going to do?"

The two large silver figures, stomped around the woods.

"Here Human! Human! Human!" Shouted one of the viehcons.

"What are you doing?" Said the other, as he held his shot out eye.

"I saw this on the earthlings' 'internet'. Its apparently works on domestic felines."

"Why would something that works on domestic felines, work for humans? Aren't they a completely different earthling classification?"

"I don't know! Do you have any better ideas?"

Nya was crouching behind large rocks, watching the Viehcons, who were both now shouted "Here Human! Human! Human!"

"These poor guys' lives..." Nya thought, starting to feel bad about what she was going to do.

She quickly moved forward, careful to not to make to much noise or be seen. Taking a position nearby a bunch of frail dead trees, she grabbed a small stone and threw it right in the middle of the trees; making the leaves on the ground crunch.
