When All Lights Go Out I (TFP)

Azura was panicking as she say within the chassis of Wheeljack, or whoever this was. She wished she had some way to reach out to Optimus to let him know where she was. She did not want to be taken to the decepticons. She was terrified of what they might do to her. She knew that Wheeljack claimed he didn't want to hurt her, but she didn't know if she could trust him on that. She barely heard anything through her tears. She did know that he caught back with Miko who was showing him around the base, and there was no way for her to scream at her to stop.

However, after ten minutes of crying, Azura calmed down a little as she looked around the chassis. She began to wonder if she could do something. She knew that cold could really hurt them, but she did wonder how they could handle heat or electricity. Azura could do a bit of damage to Wheeljack if she wanted to. She also had to be careful to bot hurt herself either. She knew she could easily hurt herself since she was inside Wheeljack. She looked at the restraints around her waist and ankles thoughtfully. She squeezed the Stitch toy as she considered her options for the time being, even though she had to really think fast.

Meanwhile...

Optimus was walking to Azura's room to see what she was doing. He had wanted to check on her as Bulkhead seemed to notice something was strange about Wheeljack, and that had him worried about his daughter. He knew Wheeljack did not know where her room was, but Miko could unintentionally show him where it is. And he did not particularly want that to happen. He had heard her through the monitor, but the noise stopped fifteen minutes ago, so Optimus was concerned.

"Azura?" He called as he walked into her room and looked around. "Azura, are you still here? Wheeljack is not in the lobby right now if you want to come back with me." Silence. Optimus hummed as he walked to the bathroom to see if she was there. There was no sign and he looked around. "Azura, this is not funny. If you are hiding or wanting to play a game, this is not something that I appreciate right now. Bulkhead has noticed something about Wheeljack and I want to make sure you are okay."

There was no response. And there was also no sign of her toy either. He knew she would still have it. But there was one problem. There was no where else she could be, and Optimus knew that. He became concerned, and he worried that she has decided to leave the base again for a short time, but he had doubts she would do that. She wasn't even big enough to transform. Optimus walked out of her room to see if Azura was somewhere in the halls.

"Azura!" He shouts, hearing his voice echo through the halls. "Please respond if you can hear me." No response or sound. Optimus's concern only grew further as he walked through the hallways to locate her. "Azura, please, you are making me worry. Are you hiding somewhere? I hope you aren't practicing somewhere and caused something unintentionally. I won't be mad, but you do need to be in an open space to practice." Still no response. He began checking some of the empty rooms, and the training room as well. Still nothing. "Azura, respond!"

Optimus felt his spark pulse speed increase as fear filled his core. It was no coincidence that this happened when Miko took Wheeljack on a tour of the place. He clenched his hands as he knew that if Wheeljack did hurt his daughter, he would wish he did not set foot on this planet. The one thing that all Cybertronians knew was that carriers were extremely protective of their sparklings. And even Optimus, who is known for self control of his emotions and actions, will snap if someone hurts his daughter.

"Optimus?" Optimus turned his head when he heard Miko's voice. "We heard you calling for Azura. Is everything okay?" The girl walked towards him with a curious expression. "Azura was not in her room when I showed Wheeljack where she sleeps."

Optimus glanced up at Wheeljack and narrowed his optics at him before looking back at Miko. "I have been unable to locate Azura. If she was not present in her room, I am concerned she is hiding somewhere that we cannot get to right now."
