Red Convoy and Colour watch as Primor still refuses to get in the shuttle. Suddenly he is piled on top of by vehicons and taken underwater. Unable to watch any longer, Colour closes the ramp door and heads back up into the ship. Red Convoy follows her to comfort her.
"There's nothing you could have done about," Red Convoy, "fighting fires on Cybertron, I lost several fellow bots." She looked at him, her eyes big and tearful. She rested her head on his chest plate and sobbed. Across the hold, Baja winced in pain at the thought of losing his counterpart.
"Hey, back there," Sandstrike shouted to them, "we're not out of this yet." Red, Colour, and Baja crowded in the cockpit and watched as outside the shuttle the dome began to crack even more. Sandstrike piloted the shuttle through the broken part and out into the ocean. The fish that had normally swam peacefully around the dome were not spooked away as the sound of the shuttle killed the silence in the peaceful ocean.
The shuttle rose toward the top of the ocean and broke the surface and continued up into the air. It rose up into the beautiful white clouds and began to shake as it hit turbulence in the upper atmosphere. The transformers sat down in chairs and strapped in.
"I need a navigator," Sandstrike said," Colour, put in the coordinates for Alpha Destron."
Colour sat in the navigators seat and typed them in. The shuttle reached outerspace and was about to jump into transwarp space when something registered on the shuttles computer. Red Convoy asked what it was.
"I don't know, I'll bring it up on the monitors." Colour said and flipped on the overhead projector. They saw an alien looking ship, resembling much of like the shuttle they were in.
"Whoever they are, I think they want their toy back." Baja said. Red Convoy took off for the gun port control and told Sandstrike to just keep heading on in the direction of Alpha Detstron. Red got the gun controls online as small starhoppers headed toward them, similar to the look of the shuttle. Red fired a direct hit on the starhoppers, expecting to destroy a few of them. But nothing happened.
"We've got trouble, little bot!" Red Convoy shouted to the cockpit.
What do you do now?
