"Alright, now that Raf is position, let's see if we can try to move this," Jack said as he glanced at Azura, Raf and Miko. "At least we will be able to determine just how heavy this thing is, and we will be able to move it without causing injury. Hopefully it will just fall onto this sky jack and not squish our feet."
Azura nodded as she lifts her hands to the orb and placed them on the surface. "Alright, well...I am ready, Jack." She was tempted to look over her shoulder to see what was happening. "I will try to not let myself get distracted."
"I know, Azura. I know." Jack smiled at her sympathetically and looked at Miko who was also ready. "Ready to get it off this thing?" Miko nodded affirmatively. "Okay, this is going to be heavy. So we will need to move it together. So a count of three. One. Two..." Jack paused as he heard the sound of glass cracking suddenly. The noise was so loud that it made him jump. He turned to see Optimus right by the window. Azura turned as well to see he was holding a missile in his hands, as he had just prevented it from destroying the museum. "That was close."
Azura paid little attention to Jack, as her optics spotted decepticon holding a rod in front of Optimus. Optimus had not noticed as he had been making sure the children were safe. Azura did not know who this con was, but she widened her optics. "Daddy, look out!" She knew her father may not hear her, but he turned back around to see the con holding the rod that was lit up with blue electricity. The red decepticon stabbed it into Optimus's neck, almost slamming him into the glass. "Daddy!"
Jack gasped as Azura stepped towards the edge of the sky jack quickly, and her sudden movement rocked the machine. "Woah, Azura, your weight almost knocked this over." Azura ignored Jack as she watched Optimus step forward in a daze and fell onto his chassis from the shock. "Just be careful."
Azura did not hear Jack at all as she watched in horror as the red decepticon jumped onto Optimus's back and stabbed the rod into the back of his neck. "Let him go..." She whimpered, wanting to shout and scream as tears well in her optics.
"Cons had to show up at this very moment," Rafael complained nervously.
"And they got Optimus." Jack frowned and looked at Azura before he grabbed her shoulders and made her look at him. "Look, Azura, we need to get the orb out of here." Azura whimpered and turned her head to look, but Jack gently made her look back at him. "Look at me, Azura! Do not watch, alright? You don't need to see what happens to Optimus at this moment. But I assure you he will be fine." Azura still seemed unsure and Jack gave her a smile. "Let's get the..." He paused as he noticed the other decepticon that had fired the missile was speeding towards the museum. That made Azura turn and stare at the headlights speeding towards them. "Come on, guys! We need to get this orb off, now!"
Azura did not want to, but she didn't was to disappoint Optimus either. She heard the sounds of someone running on the roof of the building, and guessed that it was Bulkhead. She walked back over to the orb and placed her hands on it to push. The four of them had began to push the orb, grunting and groaning while they put their might into it. Just as they felt the orb begin to move, they were alarmed the sound of a loud smash. Azura turned her head to see Bulkhead had been punched, and he had hit the red decepticon and both landed hard against the museum. And it caused the alarm to go off.
With the alarm going off, they quickly began pushing on the orb again, and within a few moments, the extractor rolled onto the sky jack with a heavy thud on the platform. Azura was relieved as this thing was indeed heavy. But she also wanted to get out of here. She made sure the jacket was adjusted enough that no one would notice she was different from the other kids, but she was now at greater risk of being spotted.
She looked at the window, and saw that Optimus was slowly getting back up. She smiled before it faded quickly as the red decepticon grabbed the rod and jumped at Optimus in an attempt to stab him again. But Optimus thankfully punched him away, and she was relieved to see he was okay. She gasped when Jack lowered the sky jack down, and she gripped the railing to keep herself from stumbling and falling. If her weight already almost caused this thing to tip, she did not want to cause any further inconvenience.
