After leaving the battle field we went to an old warehouse where I was currently watching the news over Leo's shoulder as Sam sat outside. Don't get me wrong, I'm devastated that I had to watch Optimus, THE Optimus Prime die. I knew, however, that everything was going to work out.

"What we're hearing from the German government is that the world broadcast was a satellite hacking. The military has just told us they have assumed Condition Delta, which is the highest level we have been at since Nine-Eleven. President Obama is being flown to a bunker somewhere in the middle of the United States in the face of the worst simultaneous attacks ever around the globe. The aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt goes down off the East Coast, all hands lost. Worldwide casualties are in the neighborhood of seven thousand, but that number could climb. It's still too early to tell. What we need to ask now is, "who and why?"

Megatron and The Fallen and he wants The Matrix of Leadership which is hidden in Egypt. I had all, and I mean almost all, of the answers that they need. Yet I kept quiet.

"The FBI is still trying to locate the boy, Sam Witwicky." The newscaster added a clip of the the spokesman next. "We believe they have information about the attacks. The FBI, CIA and Interpol are all seeking the cooperation of worldwide law enforcement."

"Hey, bro, you need to listen to this, man. You gotta check this out." Leo called out to Sam.

"They have a traffic-camera spotting Sam and-" there was a video of Leo walking down the street with us.

"They have a picture of me, man. We're dead, bro. FBI, CIA, we are wanted fugitives now! I just need you to focus for one minute, man." Leo ran down the stairs and followed Sam toward where the Autobots and Mikaela were at.

"Leo, shut up." I told him as I ran after him.

"Just stop."

"This thing has blown up to a whole other level, all right? You-" Leo tried to get Sam to listen.

You know what? Give me this thing. They can track us. Do you see this?" Sam took his phone and threw it to the ground before stomping on it.

"What? They can track us? Like, satellite track us? Okay, I'm not even with you guys! Technically, I'm like a hostage. This is kidnapping! Enough is..." Leo was cut off by Mudflap. I laughed and began to watch their banter.

"Yo, Le-yo!"

"This thing's gonna give me a heart attack, I swear." I glared at Leo.

"They are not things!" I hissed at him.

"That's 'cause yous a wuss." Mudflap tells him.

"You guys forced me into that car, right, so-" Leo! Just stop! Sam's about to flip out.

"Ooh, I think he's scared." Mudflap tells Skids as he jumps down from the wall he was sitting on.

"Hey, Mudflap, what are we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" Skids asked his brother.

"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?"

"Not in my trunk."

"Yo, bumper cars?" Leo called up to them, stopping their banter. For now.

"Bumper cars?" Skids asked. I shook my head at them.

"Cut it out. I'm hearing you. Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell! Of a day!" This made me mad but I didn't say anything. I hit him.

"Ow! Would you stop hitting me?!" I glared at him before walking off.

"Why don't you get a haircut with your bitch ass?" I heard Skids say.

"Go whine to your boyfriend!" Mudflap retorted.

"Listen, Sam, I know what I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like, I had nothing to do with this. So I'm not an accomplice." Leo told Sam.

"Hey, hey, you wanted this, right? You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you. Stop complaining." Sam yelled at Leo. Leo huffed and left.

That night when I was leaning against a rusted car, playing with my necklace. I'm surprised it was still on after everything. Sam came walking over to Mikaela and Bee, who were in front of the fire.

"You okay?" He asked her.

"Yeah." After he didn't say anything and just hugged her she talked again. "There's nothing that you could have done." She told him. I suddenly saw anger flash across his face before he spun onto me.

"But you could've! You could have saved him! Why didn't you?!" He yelled at me.

"I had to let it happen, Sam! I feel bad that I had to let it happen, but Optimus knew, he knew. That's what we were talking about before Megatron attacked him." I told him.

"How is his death going to help us?!" He yelled.

"Sam! I asked you both, you and Optimus, if you trusted me....Sam I'm asking you to trust me..." I held my hands up in surrender while pleading with him. He stared at me before sighing and nodding slowly.

"Bee, if you hate me, I understand." I told him while walking up to him.

Bumblebee whirled and looked away from me.

"I'm sorry. I was conflicted with myself, I didn't want to tell him, though at the same time I wanted to warn him." I said looking down.

"Kids, you are the people I care about most in my life. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away." Bumblebee told both Sam and I, as Sam walked up behind me when I was talking.

"He's dead because of me. He came here to protect me and he's dead." Sam said from beside me. I looked at him confused but then remembered that the Autobots came to Earth for the AllSpark which led to Sam's glasses.

"There's some things you just can't change. So, his sacrifice for us would not have been in vain. Hallelujah!" Bee said through the radio. I smiled slightly.

"I'm gonna make it right. I'm going to turn myself in." Sam said.

"We- we've got to stick together." Bee told him while transforming back into his alt-mode.

"You're not going to do that." Mikaela told him. She looked at me for reassurance, I shook my head.

"Yes, I am."

"Everything we worked for will be wiped out. In one day!" Bee exclaimed from the radio as he drove forward to meet Sam.

Sam thought for a second before looking at the twins.

"You two."

"Mm?"

"Huh?"

"Hey, you know the glyphs?" Sam asked while rolling up his shirt sleeve and showing them the symbol on his arm.

"Uh..."

"These? The symbols that have been rattling around in my head?" Sam asked them again.

"Whoo, that's, that's old school, yo. That's, that's like... that's Cybertronian." Skids told him.

"Oh, that's some serious stuff, right there." Mudflap tapped his chin.

"They gotta mean something, like a message or like a map. Like a map to an Energon source! Can you read this?" Sam was getting frustrated. I could tell. I smiled at him because I remembered who he was going to meet soon.

"Read? Uh-" Skids was cut off by Sam.

"You see that? You see that?"

"We... No. We don't really do much reading. Not so much." Mudflap told him. I laughed slightly.

"Sam, the gate." I told him.

"If you can't read it, we gotta find somebody who can." He was looking between me and the gate as he said this.

"Look who came sashaying back." Skids told us.

"Hair growing like a Chia Pet. Look at him. Look at that." Mudflap said. I snorted in laughter. Oh! I bet that was attractive.....

"I had a bit of a mild panic attack earlier, right?" Leo said.

"Mild?" I asked.

"That's 'cause you're a pussy." Mudflap remarked.

They fist bumped while I laughed with them.

"I think I'm allowed that, considering what I've been through. I heard you have a problem. I think I know someone who can help." Leo told us, he glared at me when I started laughing again.

"Who?" Sam asked.

"Robo-Warrior." Leo and I said at the same time, which got a confused look from Leo.
