Bumblebee let out an electronic scream, he was tied down to a metal table being frozen, but that's not where the scream came from. It came from the sight of Rouge strapped to a table not breathing, she had passed out from lack of air since her collar was too tight and it was cutting off her airways.

"Stand by, stand by!" an agent yelled as Sam and soldiers ran into the room.

"No, no! Stop! You got to stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Sam screamed seeing his friend being frozen and the other dying. Lennox caught sight of Rouge and ran as fast as he could to her Epps running to her side too. The first thing Lennox did was check if she was breathing as Epps got the collar off her seeing bruising from around her neck while Lennox started CPR.

"No, no, stop, stop, stop!" Banachek ordered making them all stop.

"You got to let him go! Let him go!" Sam yelled at them so they did so, "You okay? They didn't hurt you, right?" he asked Bee.

"Yeah! Rouge- too!" He shouted through the Radio as he made growling and other noises before a very concerned one as he pointed at Rouge.

"Come on, come on, breath," Lennox mumbled as he did compressions and Epps did mouth to mouth, they did 3 minutes before Rouge woke up coughing up a storm. "Epps," Epps looked up at Lennox before nodding an ok as he picked her up while Lennox left to go beat up Simmons.

Bee looked at Epps and Lennox's, "Thank you-" he played through the radio getting a nod.

The light flickered again, "Listen to me. The Cube is here and the Decepticons are coming." Sam said urgently to Bee. Bee let out a couple electric growls before turning to Rouge who was now on her feet but still was propped up by Epps, she gave a nod causing Bee to transform. "Lead- the way-" He played through the radio.

Lennox came back a bit of blood on his knuckles, "You good with a gun?" He asked Rouge.

"I'm good," Rouge told him as she made a gun appear in front of her, Lennox and Epps smirked before going to ask a question, "I'm a mage, so are my brothers," they nodded before leaving the torcher room to go catch up with the others.

Bumblebee looked in awe at the gigantic cube in front of him, let out a few electronic squeals as he touched it, Rouge smiled at his cuteness a light blush dusting her cheeks barely noticeable. She liked him for a while she just had many walls up so she didn't realize she had a crush on him till she was well dying and he came to mind and stayed there.

"Ah, okay, here we go. He doing something. He doing something." Epps said as Lennox with him each put a hand on Rouges shoulder with knowing smiles.

"Whoo." Sam let out as the cube shrunk so a human could hold it.

"Oh my God," Mikaela mumbled having seen what she just did. Bee held out the cube and Rouge took it from him carefully with her magic.

Bumblebee transformed opening his doors for the 3 teens to get in, "Message from Starfleet, Captain. Let's get to it."

___________________________________________________

They were all on the high way driving to the city, Rouge was in the drivers set with the cube on her lap while Mikaela and Sam were in the back, "There's Optimus," Rouge acknowledged as she waved at them while sticking her head out the window getting honks in response. Anti, Jack, and Water who were riding with Jazz all started crying with happiness that Rouge and Bee were still alive.

A Decepticon known as Bonecrusher growled as he transformed causing drivers to scream and swerve out of the way. "No, no, no, no, no." Sam almost yelled as he leaned against the seat he was in after seeing what he saw.

"What?" Mikaela questioned turning pale when she saw what he was talking about.

"It's Bonecrusher! Block them, block them, block them." Rouge shouted.

"As you wish," Bee played as he did so.

Bonecrusher roared something as Optimus transformed proceeding to fight.

"Oh my God," Mikaela almost screamed.

"PRIME!" roared Bonecrusher as he hit Optimus making him grunt and more roars to acquire.

"High tail it out of here Bee!" Rouge shouted making Bee speed to the city.

They made it to the city safely, Bee letting the teens out before transforming, "Rouge!" Jack, Anti, and Water shouted in unison as they tackled her into a hug.

Rouge pried them off, "Not now later, right now we are in a war," Never had they seen her this stricken but they nodded. Water taking out her Neko form while the triplets took out their battle forms and weapons.

Anti's outfit and weapon

Daggers, he uses daggers

Jack's outfit and weapon

Lennox and Epps who had been almost fighting about walkie talkies looked in shock as they saw the weapons knowing they ant playing around.

Lennox looked up seeing an army plane, "Air Force has arrived! Pop smoke!" he ordered.

"Raptor, Raptor, do you copy? We have you visual. Green smoke is the mark. Provide air cover and vector Black Hawks for extraction," Epps radioed in.

"It's Starscream!" Ironhide yelled.

"Please, tell me you copy," Epps asked nervously as Civilians and Soldiers yelled and shouted.

"Back up! Take cover! Bumblebee! Mages!" Ironhide shouted trying to pick up a Furby truck, Bee went over to help him while the mages made shields around everyone. "Back up! Back up!" Ironhide yelled as Starscream shot a missile at them.

"Incoming! Unnnh!" Anti yelled reinforcing the shields before him and Jack put one around their sister.

Smoke arose after the missile landed making the mages take down the shields, "Anybody hurt? Everyone okay?" Jack shouted.

"Clear the area!" a soldier yelled as Rouge looked frantically around before hearing the electronic whining from Bee.

"Oh my God. Bumblebee?" Rouge almost cried out as she saw Bee without legs, "No. Your legs! Your legs." Bee let out a couple electronic whines of sadness and pain.

Sam ran up to them, "Here. Here, back, back, back, back! You all right?" he asked getting pained electronic whining. "Please get up. Bumblebee? Get up! Ratchet!" he begged as Rouge tried not to cry, solders indistinct shouting was heard in the background.

"What the hell was that?" Lennox shouted at Epps.

"What are you talking about?"

"What do you mean, what am I talking about? They shot at us!"

"F-22 pilots would never fly below buildings. That's alien. That ain't friendly!" Epps explained.

"You got to get up. You're okay. You're okay." Water said as she came up to Bee who was groaning in pain.

"Come on!" Sam shouted.

"Army Black Hawk inbound to your location. Over." came through the Radio Epps was holding.

"Alpha two seven three degrees, ten miles. November Victor, one point two clicks north." Epps responded.

"Whoah!" Lennox let out as they were shot at, "Move out! Let's go!" he ordered as Civilians screamed.

"I'm not gonna leave you," Sam told him as Rouge nodded in agreement.

Ironhide ran at Devastator with a war cry as he jumped over a piece of rubble while shooting at Devastator making a girl scream while Devastator grunted.

"Come on, Decepticon punk!" Jazz intimidated.

"Concentrate your fire!" Lennox shouted at him and his team shot at Devastator.

Mikaela had run over to a pickup truck and was trying to hotwire it as she mumbled, "Come on. Come on," underneath her breath.

"Megatron!" he shouted as he growls something indistinct, making Civilians scream more.

"It's Megatron! Retreat!" Jazz shouted before him and others shouted for people to fall back.

"Get our guys out of the way! Get out of here! Go! Get them out of the buggy! Move out!" Lennox ordered.

"We need air cover down here, now!" Epps yelled through the radio.

"Sam, Water, Rouge, help me with this," Mikaela told them as she backed up the pickup truck she hotwired over to Bee.

Rouge was about to help before hearing Jazz try and intimidate Megatron, "Water! Watch Bee, I'll be back!" that was all she said before running to aid Jazz.

"You want a piece of me? You want a piece?" Jazz asked Megatron, Rouge knew what was going to happen so she ran as fast as she could ax in hand as she ran up the stairs she had made.

"No!" Megatron shouted before going to rip Jazz in half, "I want-" 

"Let go of him!" Rouge shouted as she jumped into air bringing her ax down on Megatron making him fly away and her fall. 

Jazz caught her small form, "Lil lady plz stop trying to save everyone," He asked he making her laugh.

"What's going on?" Lennox as Bruke.

"Sir! That tank thing's getting back up." Bruke answered.

"Oh, these things just don't die." He mumbled under his breath as Blackout roared, "Oh, we're so dead."

"Wrap it around the head," Sam said as he told Water what to do.

"Sam! Where's the Cube?" Lennox asked running up to him.

"Right there." Water pointed.

"Okay."

"And take that and wrap it around the base and then put it around his neck, okay?" Sam told Water.

Lennox shouted to Epps, "Epps, get those Black Hawks here! That building," he got a nod, "Okay."

Lennox joged over to Sam, "What?" Sam questioned him.

"All right, I can't leave my guys back there, so here, take this flare. Okay, there's a tall, white building with statues on top. Go to the roof. Set the flare." Lennox pointed to the building and handing Sam the flare.

"No," Sam mumbled.

"Signal the chopper and set the flare-" Lennox shoved the cube into Sams' hands before being cut off.

"No, no. I can't do this!"

Lennox shook him a bit, "Listen to me! You're a soldier now! All right? I need you to take this Cube. Get it into military hands while we hold them off, or a lot of people are gonna die."

Lennox pushed him forwarded before looking at Mikaela and Water, "You got to go. You got to go."

"No, I'm not leaving," Mikaela told him.

"I can't leave Bee I promised Rouge," Water answered.

"You need to go. No, get out!" Lennox ordered.

Mikaela yelled with force, "No, I'm not leaving till I get Bumblebee out of here, okay?" Lennox nodded as he ran up to Epps.

"Army Black Hawk requested. Immediate evac for a civilian boy with precious cargo. Headed to rooftop marked by flare." Epps shouted through the radio from behind rubble.

"Sam, we will protect you," Jack shouted towards him.

"Okay."

Water gave a nod to Mikaela making her run off, "Sam!"

He stopped and turned around, "No matter what happens, I'm really glad I got in that car with you." Mikaela told him before kissing him and running back to Bee and Water.

"Sam! Get to the building!" Anti yelled.

"Move!" Ratchet shouted as he threw a wrench at a Decepticon.

"Decepticons, attack!" Megatron ordered.

"Hit it!" Bruke ordered.

"Cover fire!" Ratchet shrieked as more shots were fired

Sam yelled as he was almost hit making Ironhide shout, "Watch out!"

A soldier ran up to Water and Mikaela, "Girls, get that tow truck out of here!"

"I'm going! I'm going!" Mikaela barked at him.

"Get out of here now!" Lennox yelled as Devastator growled.

Optimus caught sight of his brother, "Megatron!"

"Prime!" Megatron yelled back roaring.

Optimus let out a grunt as he started fighting, Megatron growled at him, "Humans don't deserve to live."

"They deserve to choose for themselves."

"Then you will die- with them! Join them in extinction!" Megatron screeched as Optimus grunted.

Sam was panting in exhaustion, "Keep moving, Sam! Don't stop!" Anti shouted at him.

"Whoa! No!" Sam shrieked as Ironhide was shot.

Ironhide and Jack yelled in unison, "Sam, get to the building!"

Sam panted as he ran accidentally hitting someone's car on the way as he heard Megatron, "Give me that Cube, boy!"

Rouge landed next to him making Sam look at her scratched up form, "Don't look at me keep running!" Sam nodded as they ran into the white building.

Screaming Sam yelled, "You're not gonna get us. You're not gonna get me!" as they ran up the stairs.

"I smell you... boy! Girl! Maggot!" Megatron growled as he said this.

Bumblebee grunted as he plays Doomsday Clock when Mikaela stopped the truck. Water grunted from the sudden stop before Mikaela turned to Bee, "I'll drive! You shoot!" Bee gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, this isn't going well!" Lennox yelled before grabbing Epps and pulling him out of the way of the incoming vocal.

"Shoot! Shoot!" Water told Bee, he shot Devastator in the face making energon fall and Bumblebee to squeal manically as Devastator let out a dying growl.

Epps was about question Lennox before seeing what happened, "Oh-"

Mikaela turned to Bee, "Nice shot."

"Okey-do," Bee said on the radio.

"That tank is definitely dead now. All right, let's go! We got business!" Lennox ordered to his team after nudging Devastor with his foot.

Sam made it to the roof, "Heeeey! Heeeey! I'm over hereeee!"

Black Hawk Pilot saw Sam, "We've got the boy."

Starscream had other plans though he shot a missle making the pilot swerve out of the way but not fast enough since the missile hit the helicopter dead on making Sam and Rouge run over to one of the pillars, "Hang on, Sam! Rouge!" Optimus shouted at him.

"Sam! Give me the cube," Rouge shouted at him, Sam was about to but Megatron blasted to the roof with a growl.

"No! No!" Sam yelled in fear.

"Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshlings?" Megatron asked knowing where they were. "Give me the AllSpark and you may live to be my pet and you girl could be my partner in crime, my queen."

"That just won the first place prize of creepy," Rouge stated pursing her lips together, "But sorry to disappoint but the AllSparks stays with us."

"Oh, so unwise," Megatron growled as he shot the place they were making them fall, as the Autobots watched in horror as Rouge tryed to make a shield around them luckily Optimus caught them.

"I got you two." Sam and Rouge panted as they clung to Optimus. "Hold on to the Cube!"

Optimus slid down bildings as Civilians were screaming and shouting in fear, "Sam, Rouge?"

"Yeah, Dad?"

"You risked your life to protect the Cube."

"No sacrifice." Sam started so Rouge finished, "No victory."

"If I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the Cube into my chest. I will sacrifice myself to destroy it. Get behind me."

"Dad that's-" Before Rouge could object Sam pulled her behind some rubble.

Optimus stood up, "It's you and me, Megatron."

"No, it's just me, Prime." Megatron attacked Optimus.

Rouge fought against Sam's tight grip, "Ah."

"At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall."

"You still fight for the weak! That is why you- lose!" Megatron and Optimus fought and fought.

"Sam give me the cube!" Rouge shouted at him, he gave her te cube as Optimus was knocked down making Optimus grunt in pain, "Now run!" Sam ran as Rouge as she didn't notice Megatron behind her.

She screamed when she did as Megatron shouted at her, "MINE!" Optimus grunted as he tried to get to his daughter.

"Oh. Hi! Woah! Whoah!" Rouge shouted as she backed up.

"I'll kill you!"

"Whoa-"

"Mine! All-Spark-k!"

"Sam! Put the Cube on my chest! Now! Sam!" Optimus shouted desperately trying to get his daughter out of their when it clicked.

Megatron let out a loud growl as Rouge stood up providing to slam the Allspark into Megatron's chest, she ignored the yells from Optimus as she held the Allspark to Megatron's chest until she heard the death growls. Megatron fell to the side, Optimus picked up his almost passed out daughter, "You left me no... choice, brother," Optimus stabbed Megatron in the chest.

He turned to Sam who came out of his hiding spot, "Rouge, Sam, I owe you my life. We are in your debt." Rouge put away her battle form making her ax disappear.

The other Autobots and Solders came up, Jazz looked at the tired form of Rouge before speaking up, "Lil Lady I thought I already asked you this, stop trying to save everyone!" Everyone burst out laughing as Rouge waved him off.

"Permission to speak, sir?" Bumblebee asked after the laughter died down.

"Permission granted, old friend."

"You speak now?" Sam asked.

"I wish to stay with the boy and Rouge." Bee asked his voice accompanied by a heavy British accent.

"If that is his choice," Optimus told them smiling.

"Yes," Sam answered.

"Yeppers," Rouge said a bit more awake now.
