Bella was doing everything she could to go as fast as she could go to get as far away from the Decepticons as possible, but the Predacons kept gaining on her. She floored it so she could go faster, and once she did that the Predacons were moving farther away, since they couldn't keep up to her. Bella was nearing the base thinking that she had outwitted the Predacons, well that's what she thought until she looked out her rear view mirror and saw that they caught back up with her, and she knew that she could never outwit them. As Bella got closer to the base, she checked her rear view window again to only see a big ball of fire coming right at her, and she did the only thing she could think of, she shifted over to her right and just barely missed getting hit by the ball of fire. So that that the Predacons were blowing fire at her, she knew she really needed to get out of there and get into the safety of the base where the others were at, but she knew that she would not be able to make it without some back up.

"Hey Optimus. I don't think I can last for much longer with these three on my tail. Well it's not just these three, it's practically the whole Decepticon army that is on my tail." Bella said to Optimus over comms.

"I can see that Bella. I am going to send help so that you can get back safely." Optimus responded.

"Yeah that would be great. But maybe I should have had an Autobot with me, instead of going alone." Bella said.

"I guess I should have sent someone with you." Optimus said.

"Yeah, well, it's to late now." Bella responded. 

"I just sent four Autobots to help you out." Optimus said.

"I see them. I just hope that the reach me in time because the heat from these Predacons is starting to make the rubber on my tires to melt." Bella said as she saw Prowl, Powerglide, Sideswipe, and Warpath coming towards her.

"Hey Bella don't worry. Where on are way." Warpath said through comms.

"We will be there in no time." Sideswipe said.

"Oh that's good. But I really don't think my tires can go any farth-" Bella said mid sentence as one of the balls of flame hits one of her back tires which makes her skid and lose control as she does a barrel roll and then transforms and then skids to a stop.

"BELLA!" Prowl yelled as he drove faster.

"That can't be good." Sideswipe said.

"We have to get to her now!" Warpath said.

"Yeah, we do." Powerglide said.

        As Prowl, Sideswipe, Powerglide, and Warpath sped towards Bella, the Predacons started to circle her in the air, and where also descending. Bella was starting to get up slowly while she was in pain, while also trying to figure out what had just happened when she looked up and saw the Predacons circling her. She then remembered that one of her back tires blew up after getting hit by the Predacons fire. Once she realized that she got up as fast as she could with the pain she was in and then her hand transformed into a gun, and then she started to shoot at the Predacons to try and distract them long enough for her to get away. But then she looked in another direction and she instantly thought she wasn't going to get out of this one when she saw the other Decepticons coming straight at her at full speed. Well that was the case until she saw one of the Predacons fall out of the sky and saw Prowl, Sideswipe, Warpath, and Powerglide right behind her and then she knew she was getting out of this one for sure.

"It's about time you guys got here." Bella said as her gun transformed back into her hand.

"Sorry about that." Warpath said as he and the others transformed into robot mode.

"Well it seemed like all it took for you guys to go faster is by me getting hurt." Bella said.

"Well you look okay. I mean it doesn't look like your hurt at all." Prowl said.

"We should probably get going guys, because the Decepticons are closing in and the other two Predacons don't look so happy." Sideswipe said.

"But we just got here." Powerglide said.

"So what. Optimus told us to help Bella out and to make sure she got back in one piece." Prowl said.

"Okay." Powerglide responded.

"Bella you can still transform right?" Warpath asked.

"Yes I can still transform. But I can't drive though." Bella said.

"Why? What happened?" Prowl asked. "Did something happen when you lost control?" 

"It didn't happen when I lost control." Bella said.

"Then what is it?" Prowl asked.

"The reason I lost control was because one of my back tires blew up after one of the Predacons balls of fire hit me there." Bella responded.

"Oh." Prowl said. "Well that's a problem."

"Yeah I know. the only other way for me to get back to base is by running really fast." Bella said.

"Unless one of us carries you there." Powerglide said.

"Powerglide has a point." Sideswipe said.

"Well we better get going now because the Decepticons are almost on top of us." Bella said.

"You got it." Powerglide said as he and the others transformed.

        Powerglide was the one who scooped up Bella and flew her back to base with the others where Optimus and Ultra Magnus were standing. Once they got there Powerglide set Bella down and then transformed back into robot mode and headed inside with Warpath, Prowl, and Sideswipe, and stood with the others while the Decepticons got closer. Bella stood with Optimus and Ultra Magnus waiting for the Decepticons outside instead of going inside to be looked at by Ratchet to see if she was alright, but she told them she was okay, and that is was only her back tire that was damaged, but that was not the only thing that was damaged. But she didn't want anyone to worry about her, so she kept it to herself because she wanted to get in the fight. Once the Decepticons were close enough they all transformed into their robot modes and got into fighting position, unaware of all of the Autobots hiding behind the base walls ready for battle. Once all of the Decepticons were in position, Optimus told everyone through comms to get ready, and wait for his signal. It was just then when the order from Megatron that the Decepticons started firing at the base with all of the Autobots in it, that was when Optimus gave the signal.

"NOW!" Optimus yelled.

        Once Optimus gave the order all of the Autobots ran out of the base and started shooting back at them, as they all went for cover. The Decepticons were obviously surprised, shocked, and confused when all of the Autobots came out at the same time because they all ducked for cover and looked at their leader like they did not expect this to happen at all. Megatron just stood there for a while, as bullets went flying by, with a shocked expression on his face since he thought that he could get the drop on the Autobots, but what happened was that the Autobots got the drop on them. He didn't do or say anything at all until Grimlock and the other Dinobot's came running out of the base in Dino mode ready to fight the Decepticons head on, which broke him out of his trance and made him realize that he had messed up by letting one of his Decepticons be seen right where they were at. He then heard something from behind and looked around to see the Predacons flying towards them to join them after helping out one of their own who was shot down by Warpath, and they looked like they wanted revenge. When he turned around to the direction where the Autobots were at, he looked around him to see his troops looking at him, waiting for an order, since they were not prepared for this to happen.

"Lord Megatron what do we do?" Thundercracker asked.

"Lord Megatron, they knew we were coming. Should we fight back?" Starscream asked.

"We should retreat." Megatron said.

"Did you just say what I think you said?" Breakdown asked with tire marks on him from Bella running him over.

"Yes I did." Megatron said.

"But why Lord Megatron?" Starscream asked.

"They got the drop on us, they knew we were coming, and they were prepared." Megatron said looking at Starscream.

"Fine." Starscream said.

"Now Starscream. Give the order." Megatron said.

"DECEPTICONS! RETREAT! RETREAT!" Starscream yelled as he transformed into jet mode.

"WE WILL GET THEM ANOTHER DAY DECEPTICONS!" Megatron yelled as he also transformed into jet mode and flew off.

        When the order was given the Autobots stopped firing, but stayed where they were as they watched the Decepticons retreat one by one, while the Predacons just stayed there unsure of what just happened, until they flew away following the rest of the Decepticons. When they were out of site the Autobots moved away from their cover and started to cheer after their odd victory of the Decepticons with no injuries what so ever this time. But the Dinobot's where not so happy because they didn't get to destroy any of the Decepticons, but they knew that there would be another day for them to do that because the Decepticons don't give up so easily when it comes to the Autobots. All the Autobots high fived each other, except for Optimus and Ultra Magnus who just shook hands and then went back into the base while everyone else stayed outside a little bit longer before heading back in.

        Bella was walking with Arcee, Bulkhead, and Smokescreen, as she was telling them exactly what happened when Optimus told her to go see how many Decepticons there really were and what was her reaction when the Decepticons all stared chasing after her, since they wanted to know about it. But it seemed that Smokescreen was the one that was the most interested in the story because he kept saying 'Wow', 'Amazing', and 'That must have been scary for you', which got annoying after awhile, but she knew that was just how he was. After she was done they all went somewhere else in the base, while Bella went to med bay to see if Ratchet needed help with anything at all. 

"Hey Ratchet." Bella said.

"Oh, hello Bella." Ratchet responded. "Did you come to get checked out?" he asked.

"What? No. I was just wandering if you needed help or anything." Bella answered.

"No, I don't need any help with anything right now. I was actually just putting stuff away since I was expecting there to be injured Autobots because of the Decepticons, but it turns out that the Decepticons were not expecting us to get the drop on them." Ratchet said.

"Yeah. It was fun to see the shock on Megatrons face when he saw Autobots come pouring out of the base prepared for battle." Bella responded.

"Yep." Ratchet said.

"Well I will be going now." Bella said.

"Okay." Ratchet commented.

        Bella walked out of med bay and started heading to her room, when she was stopped by Optimus and was told that her bravery today will not be forgotten and that he should have sent someone with her, she understood and he walked away. When Bella reached her room, she felt a little tired from all of the excitement that happened today, especially with her being chased by the Decepticons and being fired at by the Predacons, who almost got her. She sat down on her bed and started to think about all the times she taught she was done for, while on Cybertron, and here on earth, as well as all of the Autobots that they had lost along the way, and some of them were her good friends. But she knew that they died for a good cause, which was to protect Cybertron no matter what the cost. She layed down and started thinking about today and if it wasn't for Prowl. Warpath, Powerglide, and Sideswipe, she wouldn't be here right now. She was thankful for being able to live another day, but she didn't know when her last day would be, but all of a sudden she was in a lot of pain and didn't know what was going on. So she thought that when she was hit by the Predacons, something happened, which made her think that this was her last day, and she didn't want to go this way. They way she wanted to go was in battle while fighting alongside the rest of the Autobots against the Decepticons.
