They were running, again.
It seemed to Sam that he and Mikaela had been running for years. They had dodged not only bullets, but plasma shots as well. Megatron had come looking for him again, neither Sam nor Optimus knew why. He just, showed up, a giant metal monster, with a strange cape like piece attached to him. Megatron tore through Sam's new apartment, just as he and Mikaela arrived there on her bike.
The couple turned tail and drove off as fast as they could, not noticing that Megatron wasn't his usual Cybertronian vehicle anymore. They tried contacting the Autobots through Sam's cell phone, but Soundwave was cutting off communications. Bumblebee, was not in the state, he was out on Autobot business.
Sam tried calling Major Lennox, but he was cut off just as Megatron transformed right in front of them. The metal monster lashed out, and kicked the bike he and Mikaela were on, making them fly in the air and skid hard on the ground. Mikaela groaned and got to her feet woozily, Sam the same, but they were suddenly coherent as Megatron roared and ran at them. Sam pulled Mikaela out of the way of the tyrant's path, and the two ran, as fast as they could.
At Autobot Headquarters in Diego Garcia, reports had just come in about Megatron. Optimus, hearing his long time foe was at large, transformed and drove into the cargo hold of the carrier plane. Ironhide, Sideswipe, and Ratchet, weren't far behind. Lennox, Epps, and a few others of the human part of the N.E.S.T. team went as well.
While the plane was taking off, Megatron was now searching for Sam and Mikaela.
"Come here boy! So I may RIP the flesh off of your bones", He growled.
Sam and Mikaela, ran through a desolate shopping mall, unfortunately, one of the cameras caught them. Megatron burst through the wall, and swung his arm towards the two. Mikaela was pushed down and the arm caught Sam full in the chest. He flew back into a customer service desk, which broke under the momentum and weight. The leader of all things evil slowly walked towards the groaning human, activating his fusion cannon.
The plane with Optimus and the others was only half way there. Bumblebee, on the ground, was driving as fast as he could, but not fast enough. Megatron aimed, and just as he was about to fire, Mikaela, pushed Sam out of the way, slightly following. The fusion cannon fired, missing both of them by a hair length, and instead blasted the floor and the service desk. One of the chunks of wood, flew, and hit Mikaela through the back, breaking bones and muscles. Sam screamed, tears in his eyes, he caught Mikaela, and held her close.
That's when Bumblebee broke through the wall, blasting at Megatron with all his might. Megatron laughed at this fool, and was about to fire back as Optimus, Ratchet, Ironhide and Sideswipe, came down through the ceiling. Megatron snarled, knocked Bumblebee away, shot at Ratchet, then transformed and left the building through the door he had made earlier.
"My revenge is done." He whispered to himself in vehicle mode.
"RATCHET!" Sam cried.
His hands had blood all over them, Mikaela's blood. He held her, crying, she put a hand on his face.
"Sam.." She said with shallow breath, "I want.. you to know… I love you…"
"I love you too... Don't die, please... You are all I have…" He said to her, tears streaming down his face.
Ratchet came over, did a quick scan, he moved to pick her up gently, but Sam didn't budge or let go.
"Sam.. I need to check her, and see if I can do anything to-"
"…ratchet…" the human said softly, sadly, and weakly, "she's…. she's gone.."
Ratchet scanned her again, and realized Sam was right. Bumblebee came running over to his best friend, and fell to his knees. Bumblebee felt guilty, and deeply sad for failing to protect Sam and Mikaela. Fluids akin to water started slowly streaming out of his optic chambers. Optimus didn't know what to say, Ironhide's mouth plates were wide open in surprise, and Sideswipe, just bowed his head.
"I'm sorry Mikaela… I'm sorry…" Sam cried, holding her lifeless form close to him.
