this chapter, you know exactly what it's about, is going to be short because as soon as it happens, I won't be able to write anymore. I totally apologize also for all the errors; I honestly forgot to put it through spell check because I hadn't posted in so long. But I will hopeful have a beta reader by the time I post this chapter. So, hope you like it.

I closed my eyes and braced myself for the pain, to scared to notice the quickly approaching spark auroras, to stubborn to use my gift to save myself. Just before the blade hit my forehead, there was an explosion and Megatron was thrown away from me.

I opened my eyes to see Optimus standing there, having pushed Megatron away. He quickly turned to me and grabbed me, in too much of a hurry to wait for me to climb up. I healed on for dear life, and he looked angry as he tore through the wall, getting me out of harm's way momentarily. He ran I seen Bumblebee below, getting Leo and Mikayla out of there. I looked up at Optimus; he was determined to keep me from getting hurt. I could tell he was upset I was taken in the first place. If we survived, there was no way he would let me go anywhere without Bee.

He stopped in the middle of a forest and I realized he wasn't running away, for we both we couldn't evade Megatron that way, but luring him away from civilization for the unavoidable battle.

He set me down, "hide." he commanded before launching head first into battle. I kept running, hiding under newly fallen trees, but the battle kept following me around the clearing. I had finally gotten to a place where Megatron finally focused on fighting Optimus completely instead of keeping me from getting away.

I looked up to watch, Optimus was up against all four of them alone. Megatron, Starscream, the helicopter, and Barricade. Starscream must have been in the skies the whole time; I hadn't noticed him at the warehouse.

At first, he was losing.

"Give up! Give us the boy!" Megatron shouted after hitting Optimus, who had flown back and landed on the ground in front of me.

"Never. I'll take you all on!" he got back up and fought harder. He fought off them all and soon killed the helicopter. I could since the kind, helpful, trigger happy, impatient, eager, and reckless auroras of the Autobots approaching.

"Are you alright Sam?" he paused momentarily, expecting the Decepticons to all be far enough away that he had a moments time to check on me. But he didn't. And the others were still too far away.

Megatron came up behind him as he said my name and plunged his Energon sword; the things were so much cooler when Optimus used them, straight through Optimus's spark. He gasped in pain and Megatron pulled his sword out so the great Autobot leader could fall.

Right infront of me. Optimus spoke with the last of his strength.

"Run, Sam. Run." I couldn't move. I just crouched there, behind the fallen tree, watching his optics fade.

I was in shock as the Autobots all arrived, with some NEST members. I could see them shouting, but couldn't hear them. I briefly noticed the Decepticons had all vanished, but that thought was quickly trampled by the vast nothingness overcoming my mind.

I could see Mikayla and Leo dragging me to Bee, putting me in the driver's seat, because that was just my spot here, but it didn't register. I finally gave in and let my mind go blank, dreading what would happen when it succeeded. I didn't pass out. I didn't even lock down. Two words and their reality entered my head. And no matter how hard I tried, they wouldn't go away.

He's gone.

Told you it would be short. Tell me you would be able to keep writing after that. No, I'm not crying. I just think it deserves to be left like that. Call me crazy, but I honestly think that if Optimus has to die, he deserves a whole chapter for it. No other events stealing his thunder. Anything would just pale in comparison to this major event. I try to have something for each chapter, and If I get to the part where they're on the run, even if it's before The Fallen contacts earth, it would just change the vibe of the chapter.

It just feels wrong to add on to it after Optimus dies. I mean, he just died! Have some respect; we can't just leave it at that?

Here's another apology, sorry about that. But I really get into stories when I write and read. Sometimes I actually thing the book/story is reality, and we're the fictional characters blessed by their tale.

I honestly don't know where this comes from btw. I just start thinking too much after things like this. Because when I'm absorbed in a story, there is no reality.
