Hi everyone. Quick note here from Sly.

I'm really glad so many people like this. However, I am disappointed that I'm acquiring more favorites than reviews. Guys, before you fave, please send in a review. I want to know what you think!

Thanks!

Enjoy.

P.S – I apologize for another short chapter. I realize that this is going to be a fairly short story, but I promise there will be a sequel.

As the Decepticons wreaked havoc in Mission City, Sam couldn't help but think… was it all worth it? Could he live in this world without his sister? Was it worth living?

He was supposed to be responsible for her. Screams and explosions were distant noises in his thought as he ran, holding the Allspark close. He was the big brother. Alexandria trusted him with her life, and he had just betrayed her. If such a thing as heaven really did exist, was she there? And would she forgive him?

\/\/\/\/

Alex sniffled, holding her pink, worn teddy bear close to her inside the Decepticon lord's cockpit. All this time, she hadn't forgotten about her teddy bear. Now it was the one thing that would give her comfort. Her brother wasn't here to hold her close. Her parents weren't here to tell her everything would be okay. And Oppi wasn't here to just look at her, that comforting feeling in his blue eyes. She loved those blue eyes. More than her brother's.

Outside, she saw another robot transforming. He bowed the slightest bit. "I live to serve you Lord Megatron…" His scratchy voice said. She didn't like his voice. Not one bit. It reminded her of the voice in one of the scary movies that Sam watched with Miles.

Megatron transformed, being sure not to harm the small human inside him. He did however enjoy the shriek she made when he transformed. A much smaller, pink and fuzzy floppy thing was held tightly in her arms. The human was lightly cradled in his sinister claws. "Where is the cube, Starscream…" Megatron mused, watching the human sparkling.

The only reason he had not harmed her yet, was because if Starscream had no useful knowledge (as usual), since she was with him in… whatever that facility was, she might have some useful knowledge. Hm. A human. A human sparkling no less, being more useful than that idiot… He thought.

"The…. Humans have taken it…" Starscream said reluctantly after a moment, staring at the human. The Decepticon Lord in return growled, causing the seeker to wince. "You have failed me yet again, Starscream. GET THEM!" He roared. Starscream made a noise of fright, scrambling before transforming and flying off to follow the humans.

Megatron however, walked leisurely along, his blood red optics locked on the frightful green eyes of the human. He stopped suddenly, causing Alex to gasp and hang on to one of his claws to keep from jolting off. She looked back up at him, swallowing.

"Why were you with me, fleshling?" Megatron hummed lowly, dipping his head down a bit to scrutinize her further. This in turn got her to lean back a bit.

"U—Um…" Came the small voice, cracking a bit. That voice sounds oddly familiar. Impossible. I never would have become familiar with one of these disgusting creatures. The lord mused, before shaking the thought and leaving it.

"Well?" His voice had escalated a bit in annoyance.

"I um… I was scawed…. And… I—I thought you we'e gonna be nice…. Like Oppi…." The youngling croaked.

"Optimus…." He snarled lowly, drawling out the 's' a bit. "So, fleshling, you have met my brother."

"Yup!" She squeaked. "Oppi is nice… I wike him. Maybe if you we'e nice'w, I'd wike you too," Bite-size mused, looking down at her floppy thing and moving it's limbs the slightest bit. Megatron was taken aback slightly by this comment. She was very quick to assume. Nicer? Megatron mentally scoffed. Preposterous.

He continued walking, scrutinizing her. The 'con noted that she was avoiding looking at him. He assumed that it was out of fear. But…. She didn't seem very afraid.

"Mega?" Came the quiet voice again. He stopped once more. Now she was attempting to make conversation with him. It had interrupted his thoughts. "What?" He barked in annoyance. Alexandria squeaked and winced. "Um… Mena-….. um…" She seemed to be thinking of how to pronounce something. Still quite angry with her for interrupting his thoughts, he growled when she didn't go faster.

"Meganon, I wan-" She didn't get to finish. Megatron was furious. WHAT did it just call me?! "MEGATRON." He corrected quite angrily.

"…Megatwon?"

" ." His optics narrowed as he became more and more impatient.

"Mega…..tw…"

"Trrrrrr." He couldn't believe himself. The most powerful decepticon in the universe was teaching this… insolent little insect how to say his designation correctly.

"Twwww….?"

"Trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

"T…wrrrr?"

"Right. Now get on with it, fleshling!" He barked. Finally…

"Um… Mega..trron… um… why we…rre you in the..re?" She questioned. It seemed he had taught her as well to get rid of that annoying speech impediment. Good. Now he wouldn't find her as annoying.

But the question had baffled him a bit. He continued walking, thinking for a moment. "I crashed on this insolent planet," Was the simplest answer.

"…Why?"

"I was searching for the Allspark."

"…Why."

"To take over the universe." This creature was beginning to give him pains. If she said Why? One more time, he was going to throw her into a wall. That would be that.

"...Why?"

"RGGHHH!" Megatron roared. Despite this though, he didn't throw her into a wall. "Because I can, you stupid insect!" He snarled.

"I know you are, but what am I?!" That was Alex's quick retort. Megatron was speechless. This insect wasn't capable of his power. That had to be why she thought she could insult him. The Decepticon lord growled, throwing her into the air and transforming, catching her in his cockpit before blasting off into the air. It eased the annoyance when she screamed.

"Tell me where the humans have taken the Allspark." Megatron's voice came. Alex looked around in surprise. His deep, quite scary voice seemed to come from everywhere. Continuing to look around, she held her bear close and began to answer. "I-I 'unno. Sammy.. um… Sammy has it. I - I- …. I think he's going to f-…ishing city. W-Will you take me thewe, M—Megatrwon?" She whined, pressing her cheek into the back of the bear's head.

"Samuel James Witwicky…. Yes. I will take you there. But you will do everything I say, am I clear?" He growled. Fearfully, Alex nodded, sniffling once more. Mission City. That was his destination.

Again, the thought popped up. She reminded him of somebot. As he began to remember bit by bit, it was somebot close to Prime. Perfect…. Megatron plotted.

\/\/\/\/

Sam coughed, waving some smoke out of his face. The Allspark held close, his shoulders were grabbed by one of the soldiers. Lennox. Yes, William Lennox. That was his name. "Listen, Sam, kid, you have to go to the top of that building over there, see it?" he panted, pointing to a tall building with gargoyles along the top. Sam shook his head. "N—No I—I can't- I can't d-" "LISTEN TO ME!" Lennox yelled, shaking him. "You're a soldier now! I need you take this Cube. Go up to that building and set a flare. Get it into military hands while we hold them off, or a lot of people are gonna die."

Optimus leaned down, holding his hand out. "I'll take you to the top, Sam. Up you go." He said softly, his voice reassuring. Sam swallowed, climbing onto his hand. The prime began walking, placing the boy on his shoulder before climbing the building as carefully as possible. Despite all going on around him, Optimus spoke gently.

"Sam, I know you don't think your planet is worth it if you can't have your sister. But your sister made a sacrifice. Most likely she gave us more time to get the Allspark to safety. I will miss the youngling as well. I cannot explain it, but she had a special place in my spark. You need to do this, Sam," Optimus explained. Sam swallowed again, nodding. Optimus lowered him onto the building and prepared to leave, to join the battle.

That was when the helicopter that would receive the Allspark was shot, and crashed into the city below. "Sam!" Optimus called, hoping he was alright. "A—Ahaaa!" Sam screamed, scrambling back towards Optimus when Megatron landed calmly.

"Megatron!" Optimus growled, narrowing his optics.

"Prime…" Megatron snarled, smirking. Optimus leapt up onto the building, drawing his swords.

"Give me the cube, boy." The Decepticon growled. Sam shook his head, panting. "No. Y—You don't deserve it. You- you murdered my baby sister-!" Sam accused. Megatron gave a fake expression of hurt, pulling something out from behind his back.

"Oh, you mean this thing?" He purred. There, pinched between two claws, was the shirt of a little girl, flailing and crying. "Lemme go! Lemme go!" She sobbed. Sam's eyes widened, as did the Prime's.

"Alex…" They breathed. "Megatron-" Optimus began.

"Tell me, brother, does she remind you of somebot?" Megatron hummed, still smirking evilly. He tipped his head a bit to look at the human, before tossing her up and down in his claws like a human would with a baseball.

Optimus growled, angered by the sounds of distress. His brother stopped after a while, simply caging her in his claws. "Prime…. Does she remind you of a certain…. Starblazer, perhaps?" Megatron cackled. Sam looked up at the Prime, who looked very distant.

Of course. Starblazer. That beautiful sparkling. Optimus thought to himself, images flashing across his optics. The images were of a laughing, smiling, happy sparkling. Not only a sparkling, but a prime as well. Optimus Prime.

Memories of himself, Starblazer, and Elita flashed in his processor. The sounds of Starblazer's laughter, almost identical to that of Alex's.

"OPTIMUS!" Sam screamed, shaking the prime from his thoughts. He blinked a few times, before his optics widened at the sight before him.

Alex, the human sparkling who had reminded him of his own, was being dangled over the side of the building by a careless Megatron, who was now serious, glaring at his own brother. "You wouldn't dare…" The prime growled.

"Oh I would, Prime. Give me the Allspark, and she's yours."

"Oppi!" The redhead sobbed.

"No!" Sam yelled, looking at Optimus. "You just said - "

"Sam I know what I said. Give him the Allspark." Optimus said slowly, his blue optics gazing into Alex's green eyes. She slowly started to calm down, reduced to hiccupping.

Sam looked up at the prime in disbelief, before swallowing and cautiously approaching the massive Decepticon. In return, Megatron stepped forward, and lowered his claws, allowing Sam and his sister to hold hands for a moment, before pulling them apart. "The cube, boy!" He snarled.

Optimus was on one knee, his hand held out, waiting for both Sam and Alex to come running, so he could take off. Sam held out the cube, and Megatron opened his claws, letting Alex slip out. Just as he was about to grab the Allspark, Alex grabbed it from Sam and ran like lightning towards Optimus.

"NO!" Megatron roared, as Sam retreated as well. Optimus had already started to get up, and Sam leapt on at the last minute, Alex helping him up. "I'LL KILL YOU! ….. MINE! - ALLSPARK!" Megatron roared, lunging for Alex.

She shrieked as Optimus suddenly dropped off the building, shielding the children from glass and debris as he tumbled down another building, Megatron in close pursuit.
