Napping again [Chris/open]

[Christopher Prime]

"You're one sick son of a bitch, you know that?" Chris replied, closing his eyes, he didn't want to see this if this was the case "Why don't you just kill me and be done with it?" He growled, shaking his head. He just wanted this to be over, all of it to be over. Whether it ended with him dying or an Autobot coming, or with him escaping. The latter seemed nigh impossible to accomplish. "Either way, if you think I'll give you the Matrix, you can go back to rusting in the pit that you came from." He replied coldly.

[Optimus Prime]

The sound of a distress signal reached the leader, and he knew instantly who it was. The leader pulled quickly out of the Autobot hanger, nearly running into another Autobot in the process. "Chris's in trouble." It was a quick explanitation for the process, and the leader sped from the hanger, his form racing against time to save the one he had raised.

From afar he saw a black semi such as himself. At first he was confused. Nothing seemed to be happening. But this is where Chris's signal had come from. He was sure of it.

...Or find the right time to strike back? Really, I got to wonder, because every minute I watch for the signs, I'm more tempted to press this blade just a little harder to slit your throat and take the Matrix myself.

That didn't sound too good. Speeding around the semi, the Autobot read the signatures, which stand of Decepticons. He should have known. The sound of screeching tires as the semi truck slid around the black figure was allowed to be heard, and soon the appearance of the truck disappeared as another form took the form of a robot.

The leader. "Let him go Decepticon. Or I'll slit your throat." This Decepticon was having his throat slit anyway. Nobody took Chris and got away with it. But in this such situation, where the Decepticon was threatening to end his very life, well that was beyond letting the Decepticon escape.

It was Jazz that Optimus nearly smacked into. Jazz had been awake to begin with and just sitting in his car form. When Optimus Prime however raced off that fast, Jazz knew it could only mean one thing. Chris was in trouble.

Racing after Optimums in assistance he slid in beside him to also transform into his Autobot self.

( sorry my muse is beyond dead )

[Goliath-the Evil Semi]

Goliath froze for a second at hearing Optimus. He also detected Jazz approaching the scene. "I guess I will, but you'll have to get out here fighting your way out." Goliath's holo form stepped back and disappeared as the back of his truck form opened up and released five motorcycle drones that were as fast as Arcee.

The five of them placed each other a yard or so apart around Jazz and Optimus. "Have fun, get to know each other." With that said, the drones started firing a mix of Energon rockets and regular rockets at Jazz and Optimus from different angles. Two towards the front, three on the side and rear...

[Christopher Prime]

"Dad!" Chris screamed loudly at the sight of Optimus, he could hear another car coming, but he wasn't so sure who it was. When he felt Goliath let go and dissapear, and the motorcycle drones be released he gulped, this guy really wasn't leaving here without the Matrix, he could tell.

Pushing his body away from Goliath, he ran, he didn't know where to run, but he had to get out of there. No matter what he wasn't going to let Goliath get the Matrix. He could see his Camaro just a distance away, if he could just get to the car...

It was the one chance he had.

He continued running, reaching the car quickly, he reached for his keys, trying to find the ones to his car. In his franticness he was too freaked out to really concentrate. Too scared. "Come on, come on... Frag it if this car doesn't work." He breathed in deeply.

He continually looked over his shoulder at Goliath. He had never been in this situation before, and this guy probably wasn't afraid to hold him hostage if it meant they'd back off. He looked at Optimus momentarily, knowing he'd probably protect him with his life. He just hoped his Father wouldn't get hurt in the process. He continued looking, he really needed to get two key rings, one forethe car, one for stuff on the base.

Of course, he couldn't have thought of that before that night.. That would be too helpful.

[Optimus Prime]

Optimus looked at Chris as he shouted his name. The holoform stepped back, then disperced all together. Then five vehicles came out. Motorcycles surrounded the two. He turned to Jazz. "Do what you can to get Chris and get out of here. I'll give you covering fire."

The motorcycles circled the two. Firing his cannon at the drones shots. Goliath was dead. "Ok, go get Chris." Pulling out his cannon, Optimus fired at two of the clones.

Turning to Goliath, he stared at him, his face hardening. "Call off the drones and I'll face you. It'll be just me and you."

[{{J|azz]>]

Immediately it seemed to clones fired at them, doing one of those sly rolls to avoid them he meant to barrel into or run over one or two of the drones to get out of the circle. "Roger that!" Jazz was quick to do as Optimus said, they'd known each other awhile and had one another's backs in a fight no matter what. Right now wasn't the time for the 'I'm not leavin you to this scrap metal!' remark, it was time to save Chris, the least he could do for hiding the biggest thing from Chris for all these years.

Jazz usually called Chris his wing man, and they shared quite a bond. This only made Jazz more anxious to get to him before Goliath did. Rolling again so that he quickly folded into his car form, he swerved to the side and opened his passenger door for Chris. "Hop in!"

[Goliath-the Evil Semi]

How Goliath loved to frustrate the Autobots. It was so easy. Just add a few extra moves...Having the drones only been a bit singed from the explosions of Optimus's return fire, they quickly made a circle around them again. From near Jazz's left blind spot, one drone left the loop and suddenly transformed into a drone that looks similar to KARRs old bot form with out the yellow scanner near the cockpit:


In a shadowy blur, it lunged for Chris from Chris's left side. It hooked its right arm straight for Chris's neck and shirt with its cold claws. The drone seemed it never actually lost it's speed in the process of transforming either. It knew very well Jazz was right there, but it passed so quick, the drone would be quite a bit ahead by the time he transformed.

Two drones fired at Jazz's side and aft as he tried to get Chris, while the other two returned fire at Optimus from the front.
"Let's see how you handle that, then maybe I'll consider your challenge." Goliath snickered.

[Christopher Prime]

Chris had begun his speedy run for Jazz the moment he felt the grip around his shirt, and the sensation of being lifted up. He hadn't seen this coming, and he probably should have, his keys dropped and he let out a scream. Thrashing at the drone that now was taking him hotage, he thrashed around like a fish on a hook. "Let me go!" He screamed.

He looked frantically at Jazz, then over at Optimus. Then, the worst possible thing that could happen, did. He felt it, he saw it... The Matrix pendant had been thrown from his neck from the sheer speed he had been taken at. It flew quite a distance, and Chris's spark practically pounded out of it's chest, thank god it hadnt shattered on impact.

"No, no, NO!" He screamed in a way that could have almost mirrored Sam Witwicky exactly. This was not good, it was not good at all. If he had seen enough movies, he knew what Goliath was gonna do now, and knowing his Dad... He had picked a bad day to be Christopher prime.

[Goliath-the Evil Semi]

And everything was going decently still. Goliath himself was still keeping Optimus in check, watching his every move, while he divided up the drones accordingly to Jazz and Chris as well. The drone that grabbed Chris twitched, and tossed him behind it's back and transformed into its original form, simultaneously expelling ropes of nanomachines to strap down the lower half of Chris's body, forcing Chris to either hold on to the bars or flop around like a flag.

As the drone zipped by, Goliath watched the glistening form of the tiny shard fly through the air like a bird attracted to shiny objects. His holoform flickered into existance and caught the shard with a bored yawn. "Now I have motivation to fight, what say you three?

[Christopher Prime]

Chris was unable to react quickly enough as he was strapped down rather roughly one might add. He grabbed the handle bars, despite his fear of riding motorcycles. He looked for the Matrix, and his eyes widened with horror as he saw it was in Goliath's hands.

He knew where this was going without question now. Goliath would load him inside of him or have the drone ride beside. He didn't know what Optimus or Jazz would do. This had just become a serious hostage situation, a bad one at that. He held onto the handlebars as they headed for the road.

If Goliath now planned to bring him to Megatron... God have mercy on his spark. He turned his head with obvious fear with hopeful eyes at Optimus or Jazz. He knew he could get out of this himself, but he didn't have any idea how to pull it off at the moment.

[{{J|azz]>]

Jazz was filled with utter relief, Chris was running for him and was almost about to jump in until... To his horror, Chris was grabbed and whisked away. Jazz also noticed the ''Pendant'' fly off, but didn't seem to show any care. And without warning, firing at his back and sides.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH NO ONE TAKES MY WING MAN AND GETS TO LIVE TO TELL THE STORY!!!!!!!!" Jazz was pissed beyond his point now, he rolled out into his Autobot form and fired everything he had from canons, guns, to explosives at the drones then running in and taking swings at them. "STAY OUT OF MY WAY!" Not caring with the fact that he was receiving a bit of damage, he swung at them again before turning and leaping into his car form, racing off after Chris. "THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! PUT SHORTY DOWN OR I'M GOING TO BUST YO HEADS TOGETHA!" And of course, a few guns had come from his sides and he was already firing at the extra drones, but not the one that held Chris.

And of course, Prime was the better choice anyways to go after the ''Pendant''.

[Optimus Prime]

Optimus watched as Jazz raced off to get Chris. He then turned and faced the drones, firing a barrage of missles at each one. The sound of Chris screaming and the sound of Goliath's voice made Optimus first glance to Chris, then to the semi that was the target for the day. As his gaze began to turn to Chris, through the corner of his eye, he saw the matrix. That wasn't good.

With a few more shots at each drone, he looked at Jazz, who was going after Chris. He hadn't need to say what he was about to, because Jazz was already all over the situation. But it was obvious his lieutenant didn't know how important the Matrix was. Leaving Jazz to get Chris, he unshielded his two blades, and ran towards Goliath.

Prime was aware of how the situation had changed from bad to worse. Jazz, just by the sounds of his voice, was pissed, and he was feeling no better. He knew Jazz, fumed by hatred and the need to protect and rescue Chris, would fare better than on normal circumstances. He could trust Jazz to rescue Chris, and he'd beat Goliath down to size and get the Matrix back.

[Goliath-the Evil Semi]

The two drones that were being fired at swerved away. One got hit, but the other kept going, spinning around to face Jazz from the front and fired an Energon blast at his hood.

On Optimus's end, the two other drones got destroyed almost immediately, though one struggled to keep operating. Meanwhile, the drone that had Chris acquired a burst of speed and made a wide arc way around Jazz and behind Optimus in a dark blurr, turning again to move towards the trailer as a new drone peeled out and fired rapidly at Optimus's head.

In the next blink of an eye, Chris was gone. Goliath's holographic form was sitting in the passenger seat of the cab, inspecting the shard with a theatrical expression of boredom on his face.

Once inside the trailer, the drone somehow managed to squeeze around 4 other motorcycle drones towards the back. It transformed and tossed Chris off it's back into a corner and began to spill ropes of nanomachiens from its arms. The very corners of the two walls against Chris temporarily liquified as they manipulated their own ropes of nanomachines. The ropes coiled around his upper body and arms tightly, pressing him closer as the drone simultaneously used its nanomachines to bind Chris's legs into the ground.

((yep, me and Chris agreed you can still take the shard back if you have to)

[Christopher Prime]

Chris felt a rush of fear now, he was being taken captive and he knew it. The moment, they were riding towards the open trailer, he knew it. "DAD!!!!" He screamed, this time it was towards either of them, his eyes were now stained with tears. He had never been so scared in his life "DAD!!"

His screams may as well have been muffled when he was thrown into the corner of the trailer. He didn't have time to react before he felt the nanomachines roughly tie him up, though he struggled using both his arms and legs until he was so tightly bound he couldn't move. "LET ME OUT!" He screamed.
