      ━━━━━ STEPHANIE RAN NEXT to Sam as Ratchet and Ironhide protected the two from any attack that would come to them.

"Watch out!" Ironhide called out, rolling on the ground and shooting at the other alien.

The blonde ducked down slightly but continued to run with her brother. She looked up as the Decepticon turned into a chopper flying right above them. Stephanie held her gun in front of her as she and her sibling ran past numerous cars and screaming people.

"Keep moving, Sam!" Ironhide shouted.

Stephanie put all the energy she had left in her body and she continued to run heading for the building where they could get the Cube away from the Decepticon's. She looked back briefly as the two Autobots continued to follow behind, still protecting them.

"Come on, Sam!" Stephanie shouted running ahead of her brother.

Both Sam and Stephanie tripped over their feet rolling on the ground. Stephanie moved to cover her brother as a Decepticon appeared blasting cars out of the way.

"Shit!" She yelled, as Ratchet and Ironhide moved in front of them attacking the Decepticon.

She moved her brother over to the car shielding him, kneeling down on the ground she lifted her gun up and began shooting at the Decepticon. Stephanie watched as the two Autobots fell to the ground.

"Sam, get to the building!" Ironhide shouted. Stephanie turned around picking her brother off the ground. The two picked up their pace heading for the building.

"Give me that Cube, boy!" She heard the voice of Megatron, shouting at Sam.

"Run!" Stephanie shouted to people that were in harm's way.

Stephanie became so distracted with helping civilians, that she had lost track of her brother. Turning on her heels she watched Sam hit a car causing him to fall to the ground. When he hit the ground a surge of energy ran through the ground traveling to various objects. The blonde took off running towards her brother, as she came to a stop she held her hand out for him at which he accepted.

"We really need to get that Cube out of here." Stephanie said, pushing him ahead of her.

The two picked up their pace running, until they finally saw the building. Even though she felt like she could collapse to the ground, she kept running following behind Sam. Stephanie held her gun in front of her as she and Sam raced through the building to get to the top for the hand off. Stephanie looked behind her to see Megatron break through the glass.

The two turned the corner, running to the sitars, "I smell you, boy!" Megatron screamed for both of them to hear.

She led her brother up the rest of the steps, until they came into another room. Stephanie held her gun in front of her scanning the area, she spun on her heels listening for Megatron waiting for him to make his move. Sam stayed close to his sister and watched her do what she did best.

Megatron pushed through the floor causing the two to run away from him. The wood was flung in every direction, as Megatron swung his hand towards other objects in the building attempting to hit them. Stephanie came to a stop staring upwards towards the numerous stairs that the Witwicky sibling's would have to run up.

"I really should've stretched." She said as Sam followed her gaze, looking at the stairs.

"Come on, Steph." Sam called out, running past her. The blonde sighed, lowering her head as she adjusted her uniform.

She then proceeded to follow behind him, "maggots!" Megatron called out to the siblings.

After briefly looking down they picked up their pace continuing to head up to the very top of the building. Stephanie lifted her hands pushing the door open, running out she held it open for her brother watching as he passed her running straight for the ladder.

She let go of the door running over to the ladder, and climbing up behind him. Sam jumped down running away from her, while Stephanie scanned the area searching for Megatron, not seeing anything she jumped off running after Sam.

The two ran past numerous pipes, Sam shouted towards the choppers that were impound and heading towards them. Stephanie continued to follow behind her shouting brother as he pulled out the flare holding it next to him.

Lifting it up he hit it against one of the walls allowing him to signal the choppers so they could get a hold of the Cube. Stephanie ducked running underneath the numerous clothing lines that were on the roof. For Stephanie everything seemed to slow down, they ran towards the edge of the building

Another chopper rose up in front of them. Sam dropped the flare holding onto the Cube with both hands, handing it over to the man who had reached out for it. Stephanie turned her head seeing Starscream on top of one of the buildings not far from them.

"Watch out!" Stephanie shouted as Starscream shot a missile towards the chopper.

The two fell backwards towards the ground. Stephanie rolled over to her brother shielding him. A small part of the blade from the back end of the chopper broke off pushing itself through Stephanie's vest. While she could feel the sting she ignored what had just happened to her.

She could hear her brother's cries as the chopper plummeted towards the ground. Stephanie stood up from the ground lifting Sam up, grabbing a hold of his hand, she pulled him back towards the door. Megatron however, made his appearance busing through the roof.
