The (not so) great escape

Chapter 13

"AAAAHHHHHH!" All the ponies screamed as Electric Storm took a sharp turn into the forest, hoping the seekers wouldn't spot her. No such luck. They just blasted down the trees. Electric Storm used some of the rubble to her advantage. She drove up two trees, using them like a ramp, and flew towards the closest seeker (Skywarp). He flew towards the left, letting her out of the forest.

With that, the rest of it was dodging and swerving. Rarity (one of the ponies who had been at the meeting) gagged and Electric Storm threatened, "Don't you dare puke in my interior!"

"I am a lady, I do NOT puke. I may lose my lunch though."

Unfortunately, that little loss in concentration gave the seekers the chance they had been waiting for. Thundercracker nailed her tire with a precise shot.

Electric Storm cried out as she spun out of control. She opened her doors and the passengers flew out, allowing her to transform. She grimaced and picked up the ponies, carefully cradling them in her arms. She gave a dark glare towards the oncoming seekers and shakily transformed her right servo into a shockdriller (Cybertronian weapon that can drill and shoot electricity), aiming it at them.

The trio transformed and all directed their weapons to the small Autobot. "Get the ponies! I'll get the Autobot for a hostage." Starscream ordered and the three advanced. Electric Storm lowered the ponies to the ground and told them, "Run, run as fast as you can and don't look back! Go!"

"But-" Twilight (also at the meeting) protested before Electric Storm shouted, "I said go!"

The ponies scattered, running in all directions. "Slag it, femme!" Skywarp snarled, chasing after a group of ponies, mad that his job was now twice as hard. Thundercracker also began to hunt down the fleeing ponies, which left Electric Storm with Starscream. "This should be easy," Starscream smirked. Electric Storm also smirked and transformed. Revving up her engine she taunted. "Catch me if you can, Ice cream!"

Starscream growled and transformed, infuriated at the new nickname. Electric Storm soon took off, leading the chase once again. But she didn't get too far.

A sharp rock that jutted out of the ground was right in the way of her course. She ran right over it and screamed in pain as her tire blew out. She transformed and energon tears (or whatever giant alien robots cry) were on her face.

Her servos barely touched the wounded tire, which was located on the bottom of her foot (and had also hurt some of her foot). The first shot was -as the humans called it- "just a flesh wound", but the rock had ever increased the damage.

Her sensors picked up a transforming sound but she barely noticed; the pain was all she could focus on. Energon was leaking out of it; just looking at it gave her a slight sense of dizziness.

"So sad. The little femme wanted to play with the big mechs and got hurt. Boo hoo." She turned around to face the mocking Starscream.

"What do you want with me? Other than to be a hostage?" She demanded, her optics cold and almost emotionless. He aimed his null ray at her and snarled. "Where are the other ponies?" Electric Storm stuck out her glossa and waved her servos on either side of her helm.

Starscream apparently had no tolerance for mocking because he shot Electric Storm right above the spark chamber. She screamed in pain as she flew back from the blow. Starscream calmly walked over to her and aimed the null ray at her helm. "Where are the other ponies?" He asked again.

Electric Storm had her servo pressed against the wound to stop the energon from following out and rasped. "I don't-I don't know." With the weapon being pressed even harder to her helm she panicked and told him. "They never told me! I really don't know! Search me!"

Starscream seemed to be satisfied with the answer and lowered his weapons.

"Skywarp, Thundercracker!" Starscream called on the comm. link, "Have you found the other ponies?" There was a pause before Screamer spoke again. "Good. Report to these coordinates immediately."

Moments later, the whole seeker trio was there. Unfortunately, they had all the ponies. Starscream was watching over the ponies while Skywarp and Thundercracker observed the small Autobot femme. She was propped up against a tree and was too weak to attempt get away. "Look at how small it is," Thundercracker muttered. Both of the seekers were crouched down to get a better look at her. "Yeah, haven't seen a femme this small since the beginning of the war," Skywarp agreed and stuck a finger towards her face.

She snapped at it as if she would bite it, and Skywarp pulled away. "Well, we have to repair that wound before we head off," Thundercracker commented, eyeing the wound above her spark chamber, "Wouldn't want her to die of energon loss on the way to base."

"Not it!" Skywarp declared walking away. Thundercracker growled and ground his dentals. His brothers were always leaving him to do the dirty work. He sighed and looked back to the femme. Her optics were offline so she appeared to be resting. He reached towards her spark chambers and thought, 'Well this should be eas-'

"Get your dirty servos away from me." He stopped at the hostile command, inches from her and looked at the femme. Her optics were now online and burning with fury. "I'm trying to help you," Thundercracker growled and began to work on the wound. Her servo grabbed his arm and tried in a futile attempt to get it away from her. Her grasp was weak and it soon flopped down in defeat.

After a few human minutes, Thundercracker had closed up the wound. Starscream walked over. "Are we ready to leave?" Thundercracker nodded. "Thundercracker, you and I will take divide and take the ponies. Skywarp, you take the Autobot."

Thundercracker and Skywarp gathered up the ponies in their cockpits and got ready to leave. Electric Storm's optics widened as Skywarp advanced towards her. "No!" She shouted, trying to get away from him, even though she was still too weak, "I don't wanna go with that weirdo! No! Anybody but him! NOOO!"

Skywarp ignored her protests and picked her up-kicking and squirming-, then joined the rest of the seekers as they took to the sky.
