Honeybee's POV
When we got to the South Pole, without Bulkhead and Smokescreen to guard Soundwave while he is out, we started to walk through the small snow storm, heading towards where the device is kept. Suddenly we heard a loud screeching noise from the distance.
"It's the Predacon." Ultra Magnus said, "Get down!" He yelled as we all moved to the side to avoid the flamethrower that the Predacon wanted to hit us with. Magnus covered me with his arm while we kept our weapons out. "Are you alright, my love?" He asked quietly,
"I'm alright." I replied as I looked at him, before looking back the Predacon.
We all pointed our guns at it, but Optimus stopped us.
"The decepticons cannot have what they're looking for." Optimus said as he began to walk forward. "I will be the one to engage the Predacon." We all looked at each other in confusion.
"You heard our leader, let's move!" Magnus said as we all ran towards the glass dome structure in front of us.
I noticed Arcee was still looking back at Optimus. "Arcee! Come on!" I called her, with that she turned around and started running towards us as we continue to head towards the building.
I pray to Primus that Optimus would be okay.
Meanwhile back at Base
Brianna's POV
It's only been a few minutes since the rest of the bots went to the South Pole and Soundwave is still doing nothing.
"Hey can we just put a tarp on him?" Bulkhead said,
"Yeah." Smokescreen said, "It's like he could see us from every direction or angle." He said as he kept moving around in his position while he looked at Soundwave.
"Would you two be quiet and figure out what are the decepticons are trying to build other than what Soundwave is unable to see or not." Ratchet said
I noticed that Jack, Raf and Miko are somewhere in the hangar, so I decided to also think of what would the decepticons be building other than the space bridge. Not to mention that the technology that they're stealing are like around the globe. I then heard Ratchet gasped and saw him go over to the comlink, speaking something to Optimus very quietly.
I wonder what is it? Other than that, I wonder how Honeybee and the others are doing.
With the bots
Honeybee's POV
Turns out that the decepticons are heavily guarding the only entrance to where the device was kept.
"They knew they were expecting us." Arcee commented as we kept firing at them from around the corner of the hallway.
I saw a gun fire about to hit Magnus to the helm. I was about to block it until Wheeljack blocked it for him. Magnus took down the con who nearly shot him before hiding back at the wall.
"We need to get in there now!" I said, "Bumblebee with me."
Me and Bumble his from behind his shield as we kept pushing it forward while taking out the rest of the decepticons, letting our team advance. I took out the light sword that Magnus gave me and stabbed the cons that stood in our way.
"Care for a lob?" Wheeljack suggested
"Gladly." I said picking up an offline con, spinning myself before throwing it hard towards the dark hallway.
":Nice lob:" Bumblebee said,
"Thanks." I said,
"Let's move." Magnus said as we engaged the rest of the decepticons, while he went immediately towards Shockwave who was defending the device.
"This is no place for a one-handed Autobot!" Shockwave said to Magnus before getting smacked to the helm from Magnus' new appendix.
"Maybe." Magnus said, "But I'll take one bum hand for one bum eye any day." He continued to give Shockwave a beat down.
"Commander!" Arcee called him, "Objective secured." She said, as we took out the last of the cons.
"Now it's time for you to surrender." Ultra Magnus said to Shockwave,
"A logically assumption." Shockwave said, trying to get back up from the beating of Magnus. "Worded not for."
With that, the Predacon came crashing down from the ceiling and knocking Magnus further away. We all started to engage the Predacon, but it did nothing as it just knocked us all away from each other. Shockwave was grabbed by the Predacon as it flies off with the device within its grasp.
It took a minute for all of us to recover, but we failed to keep the device from decepticon reach, which means Optimus was knocked by the Predacon when he engaged it. Ultra Magnus went towards me, making sure that I was okay as he checked for any injuries.
"Magnus, I'm alright." I said reassuring him that I was fine.
"I'm just glad that you are alright, Cadet." He said as he looked back towards the others. "As well as the team."
"I just hope that this couldn't get any worse." I said,
Back at the Base
Brianna's POV
I was currently on my phone as I listen to music through my earphones, texting to my dad that everything was okay so far at base. I saw Agent Fowler walking outside from his office with a folder in his hands. Probably another report. What happened next was the worse thing that could possibly happen.
A glass has been broken and when we saw who it was. It was from Laserbeak, who is in the base.
"Oh no." Me and Ratchet said,
"Don't let him get near Soundwave!" I yelled at Bulkhead and Smokescreen while they started firing towards Laserbeak.
Smokscreen was able to hit it, but Laserbeak was able to shoot at the straps his master was on and landed on Soundwave's chassis. Re-downloading the information he had along with some new one. This is bad. Soundwave was now up, without the straps thanks to his minicon and started to attack Bulkhead as he let out his cables and electrocuted him onto some cargo boxes. Smokescreen tried to kick him but ended up the same as Smokscreen, being electrocuted onto another cargo box. With them being knocked out, Soundwave started to walk towards Ratchet. Me and Agent Fowler tried to stop him but Fowler was knocked to some crates, while I was able to dodge it and went in front of Ratchet was I brought out my tased, pointing it at the silent con.
"Back off con!" I yelled pointing my taser at him.
"Brianna, step away now!" Ratchet said to me,
"No way, I'm letting him hurt you Ratchet." I said,
"No, Megatron might be attempting to build the Omega Lock." He yelled it at me.
"Then he might need you and your for- AHHH!!!" I wasn't able to finish my sentence to which I was electrocuted by Soundwave from behind and got knocked down onto the cold floor, drifting into the darkness.
When I woke up, I noticed that I was on the couch, until I remembered the scene.
"RATCHET!!!" I yelled, immediately looking for him.
"He's not here, Bri." I heard Arcee said as I came to notice that everyone was present in the room, except Ratchet. "Soundwave took him."
"I know." I said sadly, remembering what happened. "I was here when Laserbeak broke in here and got Soundwave out." I explained, "I was shocked by him when I tried to defend Ratchet, despite that I didn't stand a chance against him."
"Yet you displayed courage in trying to protect our comrade." Optimus said as he came forward.
"You're one though Phoenix, Brianna." Miko said as she handed me my taser. "Found it on the ground when we came back."
"Thanks." I said, "By the way, where have you three been?" I asked,
"We went to get some snacks, but you were too occupied and we didn't want to bother you." Jack explained, "Sorry if we left you." He apologized,
"It's fine, Jack." I said, waving off his apology. "The four of us could've been injured anyway."
"I'm just glad that you're okay after that shock from Soundwave, Brianna." My guardian said, gently scooping in her servos. "I got worried when I saw you laying down on the ground motionless." She said worriedly, "I was afraid you wouldn't wake up, but thankfully you did."
"How long was I out anyway?" I asked, "And where's Agent Fowler?" I looked around for the agent.
"You've been out for three hours." Raf said, "The bots returned a few minutes before that."
"What?!" I yelp in surprise, "That shock Soundwave must've given me was really something." I rubbed my head.
"Fowler is in the other room." Honeybee said as she sets me back down on the couch. "Right now, we're trying to find Ratchet and we know why he was taken."
"It's because of his synthetic energon, is it?" I asked,
She just nodded for answer as she left to check the scanners for decepticon activities. I guess synthetic energon is needed in making the Omega Lock...and that's why they needed Ratchet in order to finish it. Oh god I hope he's okay.
Cliffhanger
