      ━━━━━ THEY CONTINUED TO follow behind Bee as they drove towards the city. Stephanie moved forward in her seat seeing a few other cars driving towards them. She watched as the first one turned around on the road to follow behind them.

"More Autobots." She breathed out with a smile on her face.

Lennox pressed on the gas continuing to drive towards the city. They had made it onto the highway that would lead them straight to the city. She looked back out of the window seeing other cars following behind them.

"Uh, Boss we got incoming." Stephanie called out.

She watched as the Autobots blocked them from getting through. One of them slowly stopped transforming, along with one of the Autobots transforming. She continued to watch as he pushed through a bus fire resting on his metal body. He then proceeded to knock into the Autobot knocking him off the highway to the lower ones.

"We need to go faster." Stephanie shouted looking forward.

Lennox pressed on the gas harder than before getting them to the city. Not long after the little incident that had occurred, they finally pulled into the city. The car came to a stop and they got out searching for a radio. Stephanie looked around not finding anything. She came out of the building running back towards Lennox.

"I found one." She sighed at the words that came out of his mouth. Running behind Lennox they ran towards Epps, she watched as he handed the radio over to him.

"Here, I got shortwave radios." Lennox said, handing over the radios. Stephanie climbed back into the vehicle heading to the back.

"Wait. What am I supposed to do with these?" Epps asked the two.

"Well, use them! It's all we got!" Lennox yelled climbing in as well. They were once again driving through the city, the Autobots following behind them.

"This is like RadioShack dinosaur radios or something, man. I'm only gonna get 20 or 30 miles out of these things." Epps informed them as they turned the corner. "Are there any aircraft orbiting the city?" Epps asked. Stephanie looked around as an F-22 flew in between the buildings.

"F-22 at 12 o'clock. I want planes for air cover and Black Hawks on the station to extract that Cube. You got it?" Lennox asked Epps.

They came to a stop, everyone getting out of the vehicles. Stephanie climbed towards the top of the truck looking around the area.

"Air Force has arrived! Pop smoke!" Lennox ordered the team.

Stephanie jumped off the truck pulling a smoke grenade out of her uniform. She unclipped it, throwing it to the ground. "Green smoke is the mark. Provide air cover and vector Black Hawks for extraction." Epps informed them. Stephanie looked around as one of the Autobots transformed.

"It's Starscream!" He shouted. Stephanie lifted her gun up holding it towards the sky. She watched as the two robots moved towards one of the trucks, lifting it off the ground.

"No, no, no, no, no! Move!" Lennox shouted.

Everyone moved around the area taking cover, the blonde lifted her head watching a missile from Starscream come towards the two robots throwing them in different areas. The group was thrown into different areas of the area. Stephanie landed in a building smashing through glass, some of it cutting her skin.

"Anybody hurt? Everyone, okay?" She heard Lennox shout.

She looked around the building that she had been thrown into. Lifting herself off the ground she lifted her hand up to the side of her neck to feel a small cut. She removed her hand to see a small amount of blood trickling down her fingers. She whipped the blood on her uniform grabbing her gun from the ground. The blonde made her way out of the building, walking towards Lennox as he looked at her.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a concerning look on his face.

"Yeah... This... This is such a thrill, but also scary and different." Stephanie replied looking at her friend.

"Come on." Lennox said, the two turned away, running away heading towards Epps. The landed down on the rocks next to Epps. Lennox hit the man, "what the hell was that?" Lennox asked him.

"What are you talking about?" Epps asked him.

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

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

"He's right." Stephanie said, taking Epps' side. This was for sure going to be the fight of their lives.

"Army Black Hawk inbound to your location. Over." The pilot informed them.

"Alpha 273 degrees, 10 miles. November Victor, 1.2 clicks north." Epps said, Stephanie lowered her head slightly gasping when something started shooting at them.
