Ficool

Chapter 43 - Chapter 10 part 3

Cliffjumper woke up on the ground as he coughed, noticing that he was in dark dingy hallway as he sat up feeling dazed. His blue optics had a bright hue to them as he rubbed his optics as he was trying to find out where he is current. Then he remembered, he was supposed to go in a sort of large dungeons area. He got up clearing his pedes as he looked seeing cells across the walls, each lined with old rugged beds with flimsy sheets and old buckets that glinted under the light. Cliffjumper noticed the sudden pain that shot through him, as he held his throat trying to cough properly, he removed his hand from his throat seeing that a familiar colour of light green. He realized that he had energon slipping out of his throat as he struggled to yell in pain. "W-Why did this happen?" He stuttered as he tried to remember to not much avail.

He leaned against the wall as he heard noises from nearby as he heard gurgling across the soiled hallway. He put his hand on the butt of the gun as he walked, trying to get a glimpse of what could be in the far end. He went near another room and his eyes widened seeing cybertronains. Well not just any regular cybertronains. They were dead cybertronians who had looked to be corroded as a yellow chemical is spurting out of them. Cliffjumper stepped back as he looked seeing that they were burnt inside out. The smell of circuits could be felt as Cliffjumper rushed over analysing the bodies. Their limbs were mangled up as some of them were leaning back to near impossible angles while their optics were rolled back in their sockets.

Cliffjumper looked wondering what caused this to happen. He placed a finger on the chemical as it started to burn slightly as he instantly pulled away looking over the black scar. "Looks to be some sort of corrosive chemical that can burn metal." He tried to say as he carefully stepped away from the bodies. He looked over his com-link trying to activate it as he got no responses from there. He sighed realizing that the network was probably down for now. He suddenly heard some noises as he turned his head around hearing heavy footsteps, he saw a large Cybertronian in the shadows rummaging around for something as Cliffjumper aimed his gun.

Suddenly the sound could be heard slowing down like the Transformer had noticed something as it turned to Cliffjumper's direction. Cliffjumper's breathing slowed down seeing a large hulking figure of 11 meters. There was a large scar going across their mouth and dried energon stains were seen around two large open lines which were on their back. Their windows which was seen on their chest had some sort of pus liquid dripping out of there. Their legs were smogged, stained and had been smothered in dirt and mud. Their back teeth which were crooked were bared as Cliffjumper felt his spark jump out of his body at the sight of them. They walked unevenly as their leg had iron budged inside.

"You... What are you doing here?" They said with a hoarse voice, as they raised their faulty gun with loose bits hanging off. They angled their gun and shot a bullet at Cliffjumper as Cliffjumper dodged to the side. The bullet hit against the wall as the Cybertronian staggered back. Cliffjumper soon began shooting back as the Cybertronian took cover trying to get a good shot on the Autobot. Cliffjumper soon said "G-Go to the pits!" He yelled frustratingly as he put energon in his gun and closed it off as he shot a large purple blast from there. He stepped back as the Cybertronian fell to the wall trying to get up. "You won this time, you must be one of those Autobots. I don't have the strength to fight you." It spat before leaving the area.

Cliffjumper still had his gun up as he felt sick and threw up in a sort of bucket nearby as energon spilled out from his mouth. "What...?" He ended up leaning against the wall as he tried to get a moment for himself. He held it by his side, swaying slightly as he walked through the dungeons seeing that there was several wooden signs pointing to certain directions. He noticed that the exit sign seemed to be gone from the wooden arrow until he noticed something on the floor. He picked it up as there was a sign with chalk writing that said 'Exit.' He looked around as he furrowed his optics. "How am I supposed to get out now?"

Cliffjumper soon came across a sort of 1980s elevator with brown doors. It looked fairly clean despite the rest of what Cliffjumper saw. Cliffjumper wondered why a elevator was here, he guessed that it has been built around here for transport. He pressed the button as he ducked and entered inside, his large height nearly reaching the ceiling of the elevator. He pressed the button to floor 0 as it began taking him down, the buzzing could be heard from the speaker on the wall while it was a slightly bumpy ride. His servo leaned against the railing as he soon said "I can't believe this! Primus, I feel so stupid." He sighed sitting down needing a moment from what happened. Two minutes later, he heard the doors open as he got up leaving the area. He found himself at the ground floor as he went through the cobblestone floor to where the staircase was. He walked through the old, grand stairs and where the exit was as he said "Finally I'm out."
