Transformers: Legends Never Die

Ch. 36 | The Ark Pt. 2

Optimus:

"Maybe few starts and presses this one down, and it should be fine." Perceptor reached forward, samely trying to fix the wire he had been working on the last few minutes. His optics traveled then to Megatron who was twitching down a manual operating, which after lots of tries finally went down. And the motor roared to life.

"Frag that." Megatron did his victory punch on the monitors, it indeed got the ship finally operating and even moving up. "Do you hear that?" He grinned at Optimus who looked relief, knowing that they had a way to rescue their frozen Charges after such an exhaustion accident.

"Let's hope it stays." Elita was leaning on the doorframe, looking out and inside once in a while. "Any idea where the children has gone off to, Mom?"

There was a plasma shot beneath Elita's pedes, Zoe even rose her gaze to see quite annoyed looking Praxina, Ann and Chris. These three now fooling around on the ground, yet in everyone's sight.

"We're teenagers." Savannah groaned, Predaking's tail twitched as the girl accidentally tremped for her own feet and fell. But she was fine, walking away like a drama Queen. Elita rolled her optics, only getting interest as Optimud left the ship. His optics scanning the area.

"We ready to roll?" Katie scretched her arms, ready to enter the operating ship anytime now. But Optimus had gotten worried all of a sudden.

"Has anyone seen Jack lately?" Perceptor came out after he cleaned his servos into a towel and throwed it aside like a piece of garbage. "Chromia will have my helm if he doesn't stop fooling around and something happens."

"... I realized that Iris ain't here either." Chris rubbed his hair, turning his gaze towards the darker room point. "Yo, Iris! Jack! If you scare the shit out of me I'll eat you alive--!"

"OPTIMUS!"

Like a sprinting tornado; the former Prime slipped to make run for it. He didn't care was her voice terrorized or was it just for fooling around, but Iris sounded frightened. And it sounded far, down below. So Optimus went easily through the rusted metal before looking for two possible directions, taking the one where he heard still Iris' and Jack's yells of horror.

"Iris!?" Praxina wasn't far behind, so went for most of her team. Even Elita was there to help, Zoe staying behind with Megatron.

Optimus came to stop by a small hole, but it wasn't even a negotiatable manner as he jumped to go through too. Ann, and Praxina had jumped to grab his shoulders, going with the fload down below. One floor down, second floor down. Until then came the third; a loud one. But Optimus kicked his way through, landing finally on his pedes like a freaking ninja, his frame shielding the two human femmes who had transformed, their eyes glimming in the darkness ready to take down everything. The screams were from down there. Optimus was certain of it.

"Optimus!" Iris' faint voice called. The Guardian's helm looked around, not making out a single sight of his Charge. Nor didn't Praxina or Ann either. "Down here!"

Until the blue orbs looked beneath his pedes, seeing two pairs of hands pressed to the glassy wall as Iris' face was showing there. Jack right beside, banging the glass in order to break it.

"We'll get you out of there in no time!" Praxina reassured, taking her spear out as the sharp point was directed to the fragmental looking glass. But the ground shaked, causing her and Ann fell down before tentacles came from the dark to wrap them up and pull into the darkness. "Whatta--!?"

Optimus got his blaster to shoot down everything, before hearing a familiar voice.

"There is no need to use force. I am, to be in peace with you."
