Chapter 7: Escaping

As (Name) manage to get to a safe distance a few feet away from the fight that was was going to occur at the entrance, she then took a quick look around at the passageway, observing at what she was seeing before her.

What she earlier speculated as a means of a way to escape from the aforementioned situation, was foiled by the reveal of the drainage pipe being blocked off by rusted iron metal bars and a broken ladder that was barely hanging off the last of its hinges on a wall too high for her to jump and climb up to.

'Damn...Looks like I'm stuck here until I can come up with another escaping strategy,' (Name) says in her thoughts, scanning over the area with her (eye color)-colored eye(s) once more until she heard a familiar ringtone ring out from her jeans' back pocket. 'Seems that Ms. Jewel is messaging me again. I'll need to do this quick while I'm still standing.'

And so she brought out her phone and checked her messages, shifting her skateboard to where it was tucked underneath her dominant arm while making sure to look up towards the entrance every now and then once seeing the Con had gotten back up to start fighting with the black and yellow robot once again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ms. Jewel: Sweetie, where are you? Dinner is about to start and you haven't come back home like you've agreed to. The children are starting to get worried and are wondering about your absence. What's going on? Are you alright? Did something happened? Please tell me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After (Name) had read the message, she then immediately got to work, making sure that she had answered the questions that the worried caretaker had given her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Name): I'm located in a passageway in Jasper's drainage canal near the highway interstate routes. The briefest explanation I could give you is that it involves with what we've discussed previously before I've left. Keep the twins calm and inform them that I am alright and that I'll be arriving to the house later than intended. They'll understand once they get the message. Refrain from messaging me until I come back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But before (Name) could send her message, she then heard the sounds of two sets of metal-like footsteps stomping around on the cemented-dirt ground, making her pause on what she was typing as she looked up to see the two giant robots running off into the direction of where the other fight was being held, leaving for the (hair color)-colored hair teen to stand alone in the slightly destroyed passageway.

'Hmm, it looks like the black and yellow-colored one might be trying to lure the Con back towards their previous location in order to get the Con's attention away from me. It could also mean that his comrade could be in need of some assistance from him, so he's doing both at the same time in order to make the situation favor on both sides.'

While laying the skateboard back onto the ground and having her phone still in her hands, she then carefully skated her way over to the passageways' entrance, making sure that the area was deemed "safe" before peeking out of it to observe the scene from afar.

'Good. They appeared to be focused only on the battle at hand,' (Name) says in her thoughts, watching the four robots battle it out before looking down at her phone once more. 'Might as well send this message now before I go.'

Once sending the message to Ms. Jewel, the (hair color)-colored hair teen then put her phone back to where she'd previously put it before then beginning her track down to the other passageway, making sure not to get spotted while doing so.

As (Name) was skating, she would often put her focus on the fight that was happening before her, observing the battle and seeing how the "good" robots were handling up against the Cons.

Let's just say that the odds were not in their favor as she watched the black and yellow robot get kneed harshly in the face by one of the Cons that he was fighting against, sending him flying backwards to where the other side of the bridge was as he roughly landed next to the female robot, whom was walking back after getting thrown earlier into the same direction.

'This is bad,' (Name) says in her thoughts, finally making it over to the other passageway as she paused to pick up her skateboard from the ground before quietly sneaking over to continue observing the scene from behind the wall. 'If they were to be defeated, then the Cons will surely start looking for me and the two boys. And if it were to be more of them, then--'

But before she could finish with her train of thought, the loud sounds of another vehicle honking began to fill her ears, making her put her focus back on the fight scene to continue observing as she sees a large, green-colored Lamborghini LM002 SUV driving into view. 'That must be one of the teams' backup. The question is, which one?'

Then she watches as the large SUV jumps into the air and transforms into another large robot, albeit much larger than all of the previously mentioned robots combined as the metal being lands behind the "good" robots with a loud, metal-like "THUD".

"Who's ready to rumble?" the green robot spoked, getting into a fighting stance as his comrades (which were the good robots) followed his lead.

But it seemed that the Cons were not in the mood for another round of fighting as they transformed into their vehicle forms and quickly drove out of the area, with (Name) making sure that she wasn't spotted once they've passed by.

This claimed that the fight was a victory for the good robots as they relaxed themselves from their stances.

"What took you?" the female robot asks, seemingly annoyed by the green robot's late arrival as she put a metallic hand on her hip for emphasis.

"Traffic," the green robot answers.

Then he questions to the female robot. "So, uh, what happened before I got here?"

"Long story," the female robot answers briefly.

As the three robots were in the midst of talking to one another, (Name) then decided to take this opportunity to observe the green robot.

This one had a more "bulkier" body build, and showed off a more huskier and more cantankerous-like appearance than any of the other male robots that she had previously observed. He also adorn the same color scheme as his vehicle mode--green and some black--and has some wheels attached to the back of his shoulder blades to give off a more "muscular" effect. He also had an equally thick set of two arms and two legs--as if he was specifically "created" for tasks involving with a lot of muscular strength such as heavy lifting--five-fingered appendages like the female but more rounder, and had the same no nose, gray/silver-colored skin, and sky blue-colored eyes like his two comrades.

After (Name) had finished with what would most likely be the end of her observation for the day, the female robot then sighs.

"Alright, it's getting late. We should head back to base before more of those Cons get here."

And that's when the female robot transforms into her vehicle mode and begins driving off into the opposite direction of where the Cons had went, the other two following her lead shortly afterwards.

'Looks like I'm in the clear,' (Name) says in her thoughts, walking out from behind the corner she was hiding behind as she continued to watch them drive off into the distance. 'They must've forgotten to check if I was still in the area before leaving.'

Then she looked up at the sky, seeing that the sun was almost at its point on disappearing into the horizon. 'Huh, she was correct about it being late. I should start heading back to Ms. Jewel's house before it gets too dark.'

And so she begins to leave the area also, climbing up the ladder that was next to the drainage pipe that the two boys had previously went through before using her skateboard once more to quickly skate off into the direction of where Ms. Jewel's house was located, making sure to pull up her hood from any oncoming Cons that were possibly looking for her.
