      ━━━━━ STEPHANIE PUSHED HER hands to the roof, while Hero held onto her tightly. A blade came down into the car cutting it in half, the five of them screaming as the car split in half. Hero, Stephanie, and Sam fell to one side while Leo and Mikaela fell to the other side.

Sam picked himself up from the broken car, while giant footsteps approached them. Stephanie stood up soon after holding her hands in the air, not bothering to reach for her guns. Hero stood up soon after standing behind her, his hands near Stephanie's guns. She turned her head slowly watching Megatron appear before them.

"Come here, boy." Megatron said.

Sam looked over at his sister who of course nodded her head. While Megatron was distracted she lowered her hands slowly moving her right hand down her side until she reached a button. Pressing down on that button, she notified Daisy that she was in danger.

"Closer." Megatron proceeded to speak, Sam moved down the steps keeping his eyes on the Decepticon. "You remember me, don't you?"

"I did what you said, okay? Just don't hurt us." Sam said as he moved further down the steps.

Stephanie watched as Megatron moved towards him, throwing him off the steps. He screamed, Stephanie went to step forward to help her younger brother however Hero wrapped his arms around her waist stopping her from running after him.

"Sam." Mikaela shouted, as he landed on a table. Megatron walked over to Sam, grabbing a hold of both his arms and holding onto them tightly.

"It feels good to grab your flesh! I am going to kill you slowly, painfully, but first, we have some delicate work to do." Megatron said. Stephanie looked back at Hero while Mikaela walked away, heading to the edge. "How I could snap your limbs off! Doctor, examine this alien specimen."

"Hero, we need to do something." Stephanie said, trying to come up with some kind of plan in her head.

The tears started to fall out of her eyes, not being able to save her brother. She looked up watching two more Decpticon's fly into the room holding onto something. Stephanie and Hero moved closer to Mikaela, the four watched as something slid into Sam's mouth seconds later it came back out.

The tiny Deception turned away as images appeared through his eyes. There were ruins that appeared within the memories that Sam had. Most of them were of Mikaela, however Stephanie appeared in his memories a few times.

"There they are."

"That's what I'm seeing in my head."

"These symbols can lead us to the Energon source."

"We must have the brain on the table." The Doctor spoke.

"Hero, we need to do something now. I won't let Sammy die." Stephanie told her friend, staring into his eyes.

"I know, we just need to wait for the right time." Hero replied, looking back down at Sam and the Decepticons.

"Brain? What does he mean by brain?"

"Well, you have something on your mind, something I need." Megatron told him, moving slightly closer to Sam.

"Hold on. I know you're pissed. I know you're pissed because I tried to kill you and it's completely understandable. If somebody tried to kill me, I'd be upset, too. I think that we have an opportunity here to start a new and, and, develop our relationship and, and, see where it leads us, okay? So, you just call Doctor Inspector off and let's talk for five seconds! Wait, wait, wait!"

Stephanie took her chance, pushing Hero away from her, she ran to the side. As she moved down the steps Prime crashed through the ceiling causing her to stop on the steps and shield herself. Bumblebee, and Daisy crashed through the building, the three autobots shooting at Megatron. Hero ran over to Mikaela and Leo pushed them forward. Stephanie picked herself up running over to her brother.

"Sam, let's go!" Stephanie said, holding her hand out to her brother who accepted it.

The two huddled together moving out of the way, while Daisy and Bumblebee rode to get to the other three humans.

"Sam! Stephanie!" Prime called out to the Witwicky siblings.

Sam climbs into first moving behind to the middle, Stephanie climbs up behind her brother shutting the door behind her. Once the siblings were in Prime took off, heading down the road. Stephanie watched as they drove through the woods.

"Here he comes!"

Prime transformed, holding onto Stephanie and Sam, as Megatron crashed into them, the four of them spinning through the woods. Prime let go of the siblings, Stephanie pulled one of her guns out holding onto it tightly.

"Hide, Sam!"

Stephanie grabbed onto her brother pulling him in the opposite direction. Both Megatron continued to fight, while Sam and Stephanie took cover over by two sets of trees. Stephanie covered her brother when a tree came flying towards them hitting the set of trees. The two continued to fight, while throwing insults at each other.

"Decepticons!" Megatron called out. Stephanie looked around, as one of the Decepticons landed near the siblings, followed by Starscream.

"Sam, we need to go now!" Stephanie said, pushing her brother backwards.

The two began running down the hill with the Decepticons following behind them. Stephanie turned back watching Prime tackle the unknown Decepticon to the ground. She turned back around running towards the fallen tree. Sam failed to jump over the tree, it caused him to fall right down to the ground.

Meanwhile, Stephanie shoved her gun back in the holster with both hands. She placed them on the tree kicking up her feet so she was able to move over it smoothly. Starscream came up behind Prime, who turned around punching him in the face. Sam grabbed a hold of his sister's hand and ran, the two tried to get away.

"There is another source of Energon hidden on this planet. The boy could lead us to it." Megatron said, while Stephanie looked over at her little brother.

The two ran over to another tree to take cover. Prime continued to fight off the Decepticons on his own, to save both Sam and Stephanie, to make sure they could figure it out. One of the Decepticons spun around kicking him in the face.

"Optimus!" The Witwicky siblings screamed.

He picked himself up only to be shot in the chest by a missile. He went to dodge another attack but it wasn't enough. He fell backwards, swinging himself around; he brought the blade forward however that same Decepticon lifted his arm shooting another missile into his chest.

Sam pulled his sister, the two running across the field to find a different spot. Prime was shot back towards them causing the two to fall to the ground, Stephanie turned back around to look at Prime. He spit out some metal, a sadden look fell onto Stephanie's face.

"Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?" Megatron asked him as he walked towards the three.

"Come on Optimus." Stephanie said, looking at the Autobot.

"Up! Get up!" Sam shouted. Prime picked himself up looking over at Megatron.

"You'll never stop at one!" Prime told him, as he popped another blade out. "I'll take you all on!" He said, spinning around and attacking the Decepticons.

Stephanie and Sam stayed close to each other as Prime fought off each of the Decepticons. They turned around looking through the roots as he took an arm off.

"Somethings not right." Stephanie said to herself knowing very well that her brother heard her.

She sighed, looking down at her guns for a brief moment. She watched as he destroyed every last Decepticons, he jumped off the Decepticon looking around for the Witwicky siblings.

"Sam! Stephanie! Where are you?" Megatron came up right behind Prime, shoving his blade into his chest.

"No!" Stephanie screamed as Megatron lifted him off the ground.

"You're so weak!" Megatron said, proceeding to shoot him.

Shock fell onto the blonde's face as she watched Megatron pull the blade out of Prime. He fell down to his side, Stephanie lowered her head allowing the tears to fall down her face and into the grass.

"No!" She spoke, afraid to scream.

Sam picked himself up walking closer to Prime, Stephanie soon picked herself up walking up behind her brother.

"Sam, Stephanie, run. Run." He told the siblings looking at them.

Soon his life faded away and his eyes went dark. Stephanie stared at Prime disbelief resting on her face, while Sam began to run away.
