When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Chapter 86

As they ran from the zombie con, Azura was thinking many different things at the moment. She really had no idea of what had happened after the vortex overload, and she hated that she could have hurt the teenagers when she was not in control. It made her a bit scared of herself, and she did not know what Optimus will do when he learns about it, even if it wasn't her fault. She still followed Miko through the ground bridge, and that was a bad enough choice that she had made on her own. And now she had to deal with being chased by an undead decepticon.

She looked around at the cliffs as she ran beside the teenagers. She didn't run too fast, as she knew she could easily get ahead of them if she was not careful. And she didn't particularly want to get herself lost, especially as she didn't know how far they had run. Regardless, Azura could only hope that they would get back to base soon. Jack did tell her that he sent a text to Miko's phone, but they would have to hope that the autobots even notice the text message so they could even get back to the base.

Jack did consider calling Miko's phone, even if there was no way that they could speak through the phone, ringing Miko's phone would at least get the attention of the autobots and they would be able to see the text sooner. But there was a chance they have already seen the text and were working on getting them back sooner. Hopefully, they have seen the text sooner than later as Azura really wanted to get back home. She regretted following Miko, and she just wanted to get home as quickly as possible.

They would run and rest, run and rest for at least fifteen minutes before Miko glanced around with a frown. "Déjà vu!"

Jack glanced at Miko in confusion. "What?" Raf and Azura looked at her too, as what she said wasn't expected.

"This doesn't look familiar to you?" She asked bluntly, and Jack glanced around, but nothing really seemed to be familiar to him.

"Not really."

"Dude!" Miko glanced back over her shoulder, frowning as she was getting irritated quickly. "We just ran one big circle!"

Azura glanced ahead and skidded with a shriek. "Watch out!"

The three teenagers look ahead, but all four of them ended up hitting the solid object in front of them. Though Jack, Miko and Raf had thought they might pass through, so this was a surprise to all of them when they hit the object and fell onto their backsides. Grimacing as the teenagers had run right into the object, so they felt the impact more than Azura, they look up and they see a familiar arm laying on the ground.

Azura stared at it as she walked over to it before she giggled. "Oh, looks like someone is going to need a hand." She was highly amused to see Starscream's arm here. It was the same one that Optimus had blasted off Starscream's shoulder.

"Sweet!" Miko was happy to see it, as the missile was still attached.

Raf stared at it with curiosity as he was fascinated that it was here with them. "It must have gotten trapped in here during the explosion too."

They all glance back as they could hear Skyquake's growls and footsteps as the zombie continued to follow them. Azura did not know if Skyquake would just keep walking this dimension when they leave. It was actually worse than death in a way, even though Skyquake's spark had been extinguished before this. She didn't even know if the real Skyquake was even aware of this happening to his body. She felt sorry for him, but there was nothing that can be done.

Jack looked at Starscream's arm as he began to think of an idea. "Well, if it's solid, we can use it." He stood up and walked over to it. "Come on, help me move this thing so we can aim it. Hopefully, Skyquake will walk in front of it, as I know he cannot think to move aside."
