Your tires skid almost painfully as you take a sharp left, and you turn your review mirror to keep an optic on the blue-gray ex-Con.

"Denny what's happening?!"
Dallas's fearful voice sends unwanted pity to cloud your processor, and you hold your glossa as Denny tries to keep her calm.

You shut out their conversation as you approach the junkyard. Steeljaw still hot on your tailpipe.

With a growl, you transform; grabbing Denny and Dallas in your servos as you flip over the scrapyard wall.

Dallas's scream of fear is irritating as Denny helps her onto the ground, and it draws the attention of the others.

"Y/n! Dad! What happened?!"
Russel rushes towards the three of you, making it there almost the second that Dallas collapses.

"Steeljaw was following me. I did comm the base to warn you."
You glare straight back at Bumblebee's disapproving faceplates and he sighs before sending Grimlock to take Dallas and Denny to the human's corner.

Russel follows behind them, looking worridly to the scrapyard wall as if Steeljaw would burst through it and start attacking.

"Were you hit Y/n?" Slipstream and Jetstorm approach you, their tiny faceplates glinting in the fading light.

"No. But I was followed."

As if those words were a queue, the gate to the scrapyard in pounded on by large fists from the outside.

"Autobots! We know you're in there!"
The deep voice of Underbite rings out ftom behind the wall, and you unknowingly take a defensive stance in front of the two smaller bots as they take a step back in fear. A sudden memory hits you, and you struggle to stay focused as you remember Coil's younger sibling.

~
"Ringer! Get back here!" A smile of amusement spread across your face as you looked down at the little green and yellow sparkling.

He had one of Coil's extra parts stuck on his head, and Coil was chasing after him with a wrench.

"Hold up there you!" As Ringer ran past you, you scooped him up into your arms, holding him close.
"Is the big bad Coil chasing you?"

Ringer's face lit up as he realised who you were, and he let out a trill of delight.

"Y/N!!" He attempted to wrap his tiny arms around you, and your spark melted.

"Just a nanoclick. We have to get that part off."
~

You shake your helm to clear your processor as the wall is hit by something strong.

"Strongarm, Sideswipe, Grimlock, Drift and the minicons, get ready for battle. Optimus and Y/n, protect the humans."
Bumblebee fires out orders rapidly, and you follow the Prime over to the human's trailer to protect Russel, Denny and Dallas.

"Do not fear. We will prevail." Optimus's deep voice is slightly comforting as you look over to where Sideswipe and Slipstream are standing.

Noticing your optics on him, Sideswipe sends a wink and a wave in your direction, and then the wall caves in.

Cons fight eachother to enter the scrapyard through the hole created by Underbite.
Steeljaw and Thunderhoof go after Bumblebee the second they see him, and Fracture immediately takes on Drift, their respective minicons battling on their teachers' side.

Clampdown and Bisk find Grimlock and Strongarm, and Quillfire takes on Sideswipe.

You and Optimus stand ready in front of the human's home as the fighting nears.

Quillfire throws Sideswipe next to you and Optimus, and instinctively, you jump in front of the red mech.

With a laugh, Quillfire shoots his quills at the two of you, and before you realise what's happening, Optimus has pulled the two of you out of the way and shot in the general direction of the opposing mech.

Without hesitation, Sideswipe and Optimus lunge towards the Decepticon together. Leaving you to protect the humans.

Your digits twith in anticipation as you watch the battle taking place in front of you, and it takes everything in you to stay where you are, in front of the human's trailer.

"Y/n?" Fixit rolls out of the trailer, and when he sees you, his optics widen in surprise.
"Why are you not lighting. Writing. FIGHTING?"

"I was told to guard the humans. So I will guard humans." You fidget as Bumblebee and Strongarm disappear from your line of sight, and the cons that were fighting them, help their allies with the rest of team Bee.

~
Screams rang out from the burning buildings as you fought alongside your partner, and energon dripped from your helm to the dusty ground as you ducked under a swipe of a sword and lunged forwards to impale the femme with your blade.

A fatal hit.

"Phase get out of here!" Ironguard's deep vocals catch your attention as he shoves his white twin away from Megatronus and his sword clangs sharply against Megatronus's own sword.

"I can't leave you here brother!" His optics are harsh as she tries to help him, but she is merely thrown away from the gladiator.

"Nightlock! Get her out of here now!" Slicing through two more Decepticons, you narrow your optics as you fight towards Phase.

"As you wish Master!" Regret pulses through you as you drag your master's struggling twin away from the battle, and you wince as she tries to fight you off of her to get to him.

"Enough! My orders were to... Phase?"
The white femme freezes, halting so abruptly that you trail off to follow her terrified gaze.

"IRONGUARD!"
~

"Ok. New plan." You transform and open your doors. "Get everyone in. You too pipsqueak." The memories strike you in a blast as you see Bumblebee in the same position as your former master, and you shudder. Not wanting to see the end of this fight.

Fixit disappears into the trailer, and reappears within seconds with Russel, Denny and Dallas.

Denny carries Dallas to your backseat and sits down with her head in his lap thoughtfully as Russel and Fixit climb into your front seats.

You adjust your mirrors to keep an optic on them as you rev your engine and shoot past the fighting Cybertronians, through the hole in the wall.

"Where are we going Y/n?!" Fixit is he only one panicking as Denny focuses on gently waking up Dallas, and Russel, tries to look behind you to see the fading battle in the distance.

You adjust one mirror again to let Russel watch the battle before answering Fixit.

"To a safe place."
