"STOP! NO PLEASE! WHY GOD!" This was my worst nightmares coming true, to reality. I never could imagine them going down like this. My family. Being ate alive. My baby, my most precious thing I have fought for was going down. "HELP!" I heard their screams. There was nothing I could do.

Lennox's p.o.v

"NO!" I woke up with a jolt. Then yelped when I came face to face to Drift. "What's the problem Captain Lennox?" He Asked. I shook my head. "Drift. Shouldn't you be with the others or something?" Drift looked down sadly. "I'm leaving." I rose an eyebrow, shaking my head from the horrific tragedy that had just went through my brain earlier. "W-why?" I had suddenly stood up without being able to notice. A sudden wave of Déjà vu was wanting to knock me back down. "What do you mean by leaving?" He stood. "Not just me. I'm leaving with Crosshairs and Optimus. Hound, Bumblebee, and Hot Rod are staying here. Us three have something important to tend to. We shall start clearing the area around. We will bring back anything you humans need. We may be gone for a couple of Earth days. We shall be back shortly though master." He bowed. "Why not bring Hound," confusion fought to take over my composure. "If Bumblebee and Hot Rod get any worse whilst on our journey we need someone big enough to take care of them. Hard telling how the rough coughs racking their frames will turn into. It could be harmful. Cade or Izzy going into the bots systems then all of a sudden the wrong movement squish-." I held up a hand signaling for him to stop. "Alright, I get the picture." He smiled as if he had won. "Thank you sensei."

Hot Rods p.o.v

My optics onlined for me to look down. I saw a recharging bot next to my berth. He was on his knees, his helm on his arms which were in a crossed arm position only on my berth. "He was a deep sleeper before all this." My helm snapped towards the sound of a rumbling voice. It was Hound. "I know. But in this you can't be a deep sleeper. You could have been bombed back then. You would have to hear the enemies at all times." I answered. He nodded. "I used to snore. But for safety there can't be." I nodded, "I was always a light sleeper. My sire had a bad illness. Always had to keep a good optic on him." Hound nodded. "The boss, the trigger happy bot, and stealthy are all out on duty. Said they needed to get more supplies for humans and wanted to clear more areas so it's easier to get around." I sat up at that, "They up and left?" Hound nodded. "Why didn't they want-," realization hit me. "Oh." I murmured. "It's alright," Hound came closer and patted my shoulder plating.

"Why did they leave you?" Hound and I were now walking through the halls. Bumblebee was in my arms. We were heading towards another berthroom. "Wanted me too keep an optic on you," I could here him quoting what I had said earlier. "Understood. But yet again I'm sorry for having you stay." Hound shrugged, "Hey I'm not missing anything exciting." I nodded. "Better them than me." He chuckled a bit. I came to a stop when we were at a berthroom. "Care to open the door for me? I've got my arms full." Hound nodded, he typed in the code and the door opened. I walked in and came to a stop at the berth, setting Bumblebee down gently I looked at his sleeping faceplates. He looked so peaceful. I removed my arms from under him and walked out. "So sickly, how are you feeling?" I smiled, "my helm hurts. I feel a little hot." Hound nodded. "Alright." Hound grabbed an energon cube and two yellow things. "Take these with this." He gestured to the items he held. "Thanks." I grabbed the two yellow pills and opened my mouth guard, taking them kindly then washed them down with the energon.
"It might take a click to kick in but trust me, it will." Izzy came around the corner with Squeaks, "can he get some of that?" I nodded and set it down for him. He took it. "Thanks Hot Rod!" Izzy left with Squeaks.

Cades p.o.v

"Tessa!" She came around the corner Shane not far behind. "Yes dad?" I bit back the smile to show my seriousness. "Captain Lennox and I are gonna go patrolling. We are gonna be out for a bit. You need anything or if Izzy needs anything make sure to let Vivian know, or the bots." She nodded, "I'm not twelve years old Dad. I can handle myself." I frowned, "I know you can honey. I know Shane can keep you safe to but I just wanted to let you know." She smiled and hugged me. "I know Dad." I sighed, "I just wanna keep you safe." She lightly laughed. "You are the one that needs to be safe out there. Don't get into trouble. Come back in one piece, please." I nodded into her shoulder and hair, "I promise." Vivian came around the corner, "do I get a hug goodbye too?" Tessa smiled and let go. "Of course babe." She came in for a hug and a quick peck on the cheek. "Watch their bite!" Izzy shouted. I smiled? "I'll try!" She hugged me. "Thank you." I nodded, "of course little love." I left with a bag. It had amo and bandages. Anything we could need on patrol. We took two other men with us, John and Chris. "Alright men! Let's head out!" I gave a grim face and entered the big Jeep. It had spikes around it. In case we had to plow any peculiar. "Ready for this Yeager?" Chris smirked. I smiled back, "I don't know. It depends." John chuckled as he climbed in. "Target practice!" John shouted whilst slamming the door. "Let's hope we don't run into the bots out here. Wouldn't want them to think we are someone we aren't." Lennox thought out loud. I made a 'hmphed' sound before slamming my door shut. "Let's hope we do."
