Crossfire Solo Outing

It was about 11pm and although no one was around i was still being pretty cautious as i skulked around the base, i went to the vault that held the spark extractor and starsaber, i couldn't have it lying around my bedroom floor, a bit disrespectful i felt.

It was easy enough to open, but when it opened it made a pretty loud noise, mostly pressure being realesed. i tensed up as i expected someone to notice and bust my cover...all was silent and so i wanted to keep it that way, i picked up the starsaber and headed for the control panel for the groundbridge, i really wanted to practice using this sword but i wanted to do it in a remote area, and in private.

I know of a forest, i haven't come by any people there mainly due to its dark and gloomy appearance, the sun couldn't get through the thickness of the tree's, but i like it, the walks are nice and there are many wildlife, but to each there own i guess.

So i punched in the co-ordinates and i activated the ground bridge, i cringed as i did so, the thing was so loud i had to go through it before someone came, i grabbed my rucksack which i had packed the day before and ran through it.

Naturally it was pitch black on the other side, going from light to dark has a weird toll on the eyes. i went into my bag to grab a flash light, i stuck it between my teeth as i put the sword in my free hand, took the flashlight back out of my mouth and then went to find a suitable open patch.

I pointed the flashlight in various directions with every sound i heard, there were crickets, owls, rustling leaves, every cliché for this scenario. I can handle the wildlife, bears, wolves...not taking them out or anything like that, just warn them off.

It was about twenty minutes until i found the perfect patch, in fact it looked like it was made for me, the trees were aligned in a circle around a patch of grass and the ground was so unruffled.

I took the sword out as it extended its blade, i then looked at one of the tree's as a grin crept over my mouth "lets see how sharp you really are." I said to it, "i promise to replant a tree after this i swear." I then said to the tree as i ran in its direction throwing back the sword and bringing it down upon the trees bark.

The sword went right through it, i hope...i couldn't actually feel it going through the tree, i stood there with the untouched blade in my hand as i looked at the tree blankly...it creaked and toppled over, no warning, no sound, just blatantly fell over.

The blade was so clean in its cut and the tree didn't even leak its sap, it cut through it like air...if it can do that, what can it do to cybertronians?

I then invisibly began practicing with the blade, it was a difficult thing to swing around multiple times i'll give it that but thats why i'm doing this, if i could master this sword i could do more then just survive...i don't think i can handle open combat though, i'm not that good with dodging stun blasters or missiles.

The forest had become surprisingly quiet, even at this time of night, then i think i heard wolf howls in the distance, pretty funny sounding howls...no, not howls of wolves but howls of something else, a pained sound...a dying sound.

I decided to check it out as someone could generally be in trouble, the sound was about half a mile in front of me.

As i got closer, i found no sign of what was making that sound instead i hid myself behind a tree as strings of green lasers were flailing around the woods in the distance, about four of them i'd say. i slid down a bank as i looked upon the ground, there was large puddles of energon, and tiny scraps of metal, decepticons?

The wounded maybe, but do they use lasers?

Then i ran toward the green lasers which were disappearing into the forest, i kept to the shadows and at times crouched, ducked and crawled my way without risk of detection.

As i found myself getting closer to the source of lasers the weilders themselves were mech agents dressed in there signature full body and face covered uniforms, perfect for scavenger hunting in the dark of night, as well as not being spotted, if it weren't for the lasers i'd be none the wiser of there presence.

I came closer to the edge of the forest as i kept track of them, they were a small group and were loading something into the helicopter in the dark it just looks like a chunk of boulders, i thought it was energon but that would normally glow. so they boarded there helicopter as one of them looked in my direction, i naturally ducked down...did he see me?

I don't think so, as the helicopter took off, there's no way i could've infiltrated there base it was too far in the open. But i made a note of their location spot perhaps they'll come back, maybe i'll call for back up if it comes to that. So i shrugged and headed back the way i came i intended to stick this out till morning.

I checked my phone...4 am. You know when you wake up about that time and lie in bed for a couple of hours and then get tired enough to sleep again? I feel like that right now. I stretched and yawned as i looked up to the sky, it went a navy blue colour and you could see the whole forest around you, now i know its morning.

"hmm better call for pick up, ratchet and dad are normally at the screen at this hour." I said, As i flipped my cell phone.

i then heard and felt booming footsteps, i instantly hid behind a tree, decepticons?

I looked in all directions i couldn't see the source, but it was getting louder, i looked up, nothing. Where is that coming from? I decided to cautiously come out from hiding as i treaded out into the open...all was silent as i shot a glance in every direction, the tree's were so packed together i couldn't see past them. Then a sound caught my ear, a creaking sound as i looked up, about six tree's were tumbling my way, i dodged the source as they piled on top of each other, squirrels and racoons came from underneath them as they fled in terror.

"what could've..."

Then i found myself in mid-air as i whacked against the back of tree, red wood not good. Though the pain was sharp i recovered quickly mainly because i was confused right now, i was frantic now when looking around...i was frustrated i hate not being able to identify my attacker, and instead they play games with me and mess with my head.

Left...right...forward...behind?

my eyes darted about for a source.

Then i heard the loud footsteps again, but they were louder and faster coming my way, as i looked in the general direction of the sound...a large shadow was coming my way it stood over 30 feet tall and made the tree's look like toothpicks as it slammed its way through, i squinted slightly as the footsteps themselves were familier and the height too..."dad?" i said as my face was unsure... when it came into the light it was definitely not dad...it looked more like a protoform a man made one...i say man made because it didn't look at all alien, to familer looking to me.

It begun to attack me violently, it swung its fist into the ground as i jumped out of the way, but he swiped me with the other hand...this thing was quick. I got my balance quickly as i stood up, the thing went into its fighting pose as it stood with its fists in front of its face, i looked it up and down carefully as a mental image of silas formed around the titan, this was his way of fighting.

It took another swing as this time its movement was rusty, "hmm, i was hoping it would be smoother then that." A voice came from the mechanical beast, silas's voice. "take note for the other protoforms" he then said sounding like he was talking to someone else.

"silas?" i said, furrowing a brow.

"not physically no...this is the peak of technology, is it not?" he then said refering to the robot.

"no, its an abomination." I simply said, it was based off real living beings but it wasn't alive, its kind of, playing primus in a sense, excuse the pun.

"i say otherwise, i was merely testing its movement patterns for future reference... for the others." He said.

"others?" i asked.

"ones like this one, but different, this one unfortunetly is already a failed experiment if its movements are flawed, but why waste the supplies." He said as the robot came my way again, it was all about dodging the thing now, although not very smooth at times, when it was fast in movement and attacks, it was really fast, i was in such a dense area everything around me was a tool at it's disposal as it ripped tree's from the ground, i then made my way deeper into the forest, try to find a more open area, the robot pursued me naturally as it was already at my heels.

Then it came to me...the sword, i reached for the hilt as i extended its blade, it glowed brighter then before as silas's experiment came at me, i stopped and turned around, its hand turned into a fist as it threw it down upon me, i took a slash at it as the hand cleanly slid off its arm, it leaked energon much to my suprise...so they know there life blood...starscream must've provided them with intel.

"what is that?" silas said as he used the other hand instead, this time i jumped as i swung the sword over my head, but as i did so i had jumped overhead the robot and i was airbourne...

"h-how, how did i get up here?" i forced out, not thinking too much into it, i let myself fall towards the robot as i swung the sword down into its head.

Again like before i didn't even feel the sword cut its way through i just found my feet on the ground again.

"no human can jump that high." Silas commented, i had feared i missed, i can't have missed, but i had my doubts mainly because the robot raised his hand again, then it stopped as the whole one half of its body collapsed to the side followed by the other.

i jumped back slightly because of the slight tremor it left behind when falling, its optics sparked and dimmed as it inevitablly went black, the now terminated body was twitching as you could hear muffled sounds of silas as he cut off, i sighed in relief as i wiped away a bit of sweat, then i looked at the sword.

It somehow increased my ability to jump, this thing is like a steroid in weapon form, i mean does it have a mind of its own?

as i thought about it more, dawn had come as i was blinded by the sudden orange sphere that peaked over the horizon, i was so tired my sleep pattern was all over the place, plus what are the others going to think...oh.

I then looked at my phone...247 missed calls and 93 text messages...oh scrap, hey wait i have voicemail too. This should be interesting.

"Ellen, where are you? Jogging? At this time of day?", it was ratchet and he spoke very calmly, surprisingly.

Then i checked the next one, "no note, you could've let us know where you were going." It was ratchet again, still calm but with a slight tinge of annoyance, plus why is it only ratchet? my guess is he's took control of the comm link patch and is only letting his voice be heard.

It was the 14th voice message from ratchet, "Ellen, where are you? We called all the hospitals your not in any of them!" at this point ratchet (if he could) was hyperventilating, i had turned off the tracking system on my phone, but as soon as i contact base it will turn back on.

Thats my cue to call for pick up i think, as i contacted base, "hey ratch i need a..."

"do you realise the time! I have been glued to the screen to wait for any contact from you!" ratchet yelled at me, i could hear dads voice in the background sounding worried, but at the same time trying to calm down ratchet.

"ratchet, ground bridge please." I said calmly.

He cut me off as the groundbridge opened, i was about to go through it as usual until ratchet came storming through, he had his hands on his hips as he glanced around, "this is where you've been!" he yelled. "a gloomy dark forest teaming with possible dangers, wildlife, unstable trees, hunters, serial killers."

I sighed, i couldn't really say he was going a bit steep but that has been known to happen.

"not to mention about 2 miles of your postion a battle ensured with the decepticons and an insecticon, alongside Arachnid occupying this forest, and a wounded starscream" He then said, counting his fingers

"e-er." I stuttered, i was so tired.

"get in there!" he ordered.

I did so as i sighed, the groundbridge had opened in front of the beaten down mech experiment so ratchet couldn't have a spark attack.

I yawned and stretched again as i came into base, i ignored watchful optics as i made my way to the vault, i placed the starsaber back as i then made my way towards my room.

"Ellen? What have you been doing?" dad asked from behind.

"can't talk need sleep, we talk later, yes?" i slurred as i showed them all my blood shot eyes.

Ratchet shielded his eyes, "oh for the love of primus yes!" he said making a 'go away' motion at me.

i nodded drunkingly, then continued my struggle to the bedroom, i kicked my shoes off and collasped on my bed, the upperhalf of my body was on the bed but the other half was dragged on the floor, no matter i've slept in worse positions...Starscream? Arachnid? an insecticon? i guess there are some who come to that forest, it is a...nice one...afterall.

A/N next chapter 'nemisis prime' when i first heard of this episode , i was hoping he was going to be controlled or something, but thats just me, but whats up with the man made robot beating the scrap out of Optimus in less then two minutes?

if theres any problems with this chapter, it may be because i'm a little on edge at the moment, employment in the uk is terrible you'd have more luck winning the lottery.

on another note if i'm able to catch up with the series and before the mid-season break ends i think i might upload my other stories i've been working on, the first one is a one shot story featuring Ellen as a small child (lotsa fluff, you have been warned lol) and the other is base around Ellens best friend Eve, who is the opposite of Ellen in some parts, this will take place around when they were children and a few months after mission city, Eve is 7 and Ellen is 5. like the whole Optimus and Ellen thing, this will be Eve and Ironhide this time. this story will be a bit darker in later chapters, so yeah just wanted to explain what i'd be working on in the future and hopefully people will enjoy it as much as this one, i am very pleased with the love its getting as i've wanted to write a story about my oc for years but wasn't sure where to start and now that you know her origins you won't be confused about her in future stories
