[Accidental Audio] Backdated to sometime late on the 8th

[notyourblueangel]

[At first, only static is heard.  If anyone cares to pay attention and trace the signal, they'll realize that it's 1) originating from Thundercracker's Link, and 2) coming from some random location out on the wastelands.  About the time these two things would be established, a voice is heard through the auditory "snow".]

N-no . . . no, p-please . . . I-I'm . . . I'm s-sorry, please, I-I . . . please d-don't . . . p-please . . .

[The voice is almost inaudibly soft, broken with unmistakable terror and despair, and though nearly unrecognizable compared to what people would be used to from the powerful Decepticon Seeker . . . undoubtedly belongs to Thundercracker.]

[The whimpering pleas will continue for a bit before something shifts, presumably knocking against the communicator, and the feed quits.]

[As luck would have it, Axel happened to be on the opposite side of Ven's room when Thundercracker's call came in. Which meant, for most of the conversation, Axel only heard Ven's half of it, Thundercracker's too faint and staticky to be understood. Axel didn't know this Thundercracker, so he mostly kept out of it... until Ven mentioned that he was going out to find him.

By the time Axel had opened his mouth to say something, though, it was too late. And Ven was already off and running. Or rather flying. On his keyblade. That he'd somehow turned into a glider. That was new.]

Hey, wait-!

[Nope, too late. Ven was already out of hearing range. Axel sighed.]

Some of us can't fly, ya know...?

[Ven seemed to slow down as another form took off into the air, some kind of big robot dragon. Axel pulled out his own link and examined the last few minutes' records to catch himself up on what was going on, before giving Ven a call.]

Hey, Ven... there room for a passenger on that thing?

[If Ven looks down, he may see a figure in black with firy red hair standing just outside the Hub's main entryway.]

[Ventus clicks over, blinking a moment before he glances back towards the entryway of the Hub. Axel wanted to come?]

I think we can manage. Hang on- I'm coming back around.

[And he does so, spurring the glider back about, descending back towards where the Nobody stands.]

Come on, I don't want to lose sight of that guy. -you all right with heights?

[Video/Action]

[nobody_number_8]

Right.

[Once Ven gets closer, he can see that Axel is looking up at him as he descends.]

Long as I don't fall from them? Totally fine. Remind me to tell you about the missions I did in Neverland sometime.

{Still, Axel was careful as he climbed onto the glider, planting his feet on the two decorative 'wings' that spread out from it and holding onto Ventus' shoulders.]

All set. Though forgive me for asking a potentially dumb question, but since when could a keyblade turn into this?

[He glances down at the glider to indicate what he means, though it's probably pretty obvious.]

[He nods in Axel's direction, flashing a brief smile over his shoulder.]

I'm not sure. I just saw Terra do it, and figured that I could do it too.

[And that he did, simple as that.]

Hang on- here we go!

[Once he's sure the Nobody's got a good grip and balance, they'll zoom off, onward and upwards.]

[Axel raises an eyebrow at that explanation of this new ability of the keyblade, but well, much as they did know about keyblades, there was probably just as much that they didn't. This was probably one of those things. As long as the thing didn't give out mid-flight, Axel wouldn't question it.

Once they take off, Axel does his best to be more of a help than a hinderance to Ventus' flying, leaning when he leans to help steer, and trying not to accidentally overbalance the little craft with his added weight and somewhat higher center of gravity as the zip toward the wastelands.]

[Don't worry Axel- the only time it ever vanished on him was out in the Badlands.

The Nobody's help in trying to make sure it's a smooth flight for both of them is appreciated- the only other person that Ventus has ever taken on his glider was Saber, and she wasn't as tall as Axel is.

As they go, Ventus continues to remain in contact with Thundercracker. He seems a little more relieved now, at least, though he's still concerned about whatever had happened to the Seeker.]

I wonder where he's been. He said something about seeing demons...and he looks in pretty bad shape.

Unsure if you wanted to continue this, but... >.>

[nobody_number_8]

No idea. If it wasn't for the damage, I'd say he'd just flipped his mechanical lid, but it's pretty obvious that something happened to him. Something big and hot, by the looks of it.

Was gonna invite TC to hop in but if you'd rather we handwave we can do that instead?

[happyduckbutt]

Yeah...

[He frowns, but all he wants to so right now is find Thundercracker in one piece. He lifts a hand in front of him, a light glowing as it forms into a fist-sized orb that floats above his palm. ]

Hopefully he'll be able to see the light so he can let us know if we're getting close.

[With a flick of his hand, he casts the orb out, its light growing in brilliance. ]

Invite away if you thin they're still intrested? Handwaveing's cool if they aren't, though.

[nobody_number_8]

[Axel sees the light spring into existence above Ven's palm, then has to look away from it slightly, because it's pretty bright this close up.]

Good idea. Somehow, I don't think we wanna surprise him at the moment.

[Because getting blasted by a twitchy robot isn't what Axel came along for.]

*Salute!*

[happyduckbutt]

[Whoops, sorry about that. Prima's gift of light is pretty bright, although Ventus had at least kept it down a little until it had left his hand, though he wouldn't be able to send it any further than a quarter of a mile from him. Still, its brightness should help.]

I'll give him a head's up.

[He taps his Link as he says this.]

ACTIONSPAMMMM

[notyourblueangel]

((ooc: Assuming you guys are still up for this. orz))

[TC gets the message over the Link about looking for Ventus's light ball and agrees to let the boy know when he spots it. Soon after, he pings back again.]

Ventus, I see your light. Actually . . . I think I see you too.

/o/

[happyduckbutt]

[A gasp of relief escapes him at as Thundercracker's voice sounds over the Link not long after.]

You do? That's great- I think I can grab your coordinates now if we're this close.
