They had reached the skyway part of the highway without much of a problem, though it was fairly odd to see a group of military vehicles surrounding a 2008 Camaro and having a having a GMC truck, a rescue Hummer, a Pontiac Solstice and a large red and blue truck following behind them. But hey, this was Los Angeles; perhaps they were filming some sort of movie.

Miley looked out the rear window tiredly only to notice some thing out of the ordinary. Behind the Autobots a large sandy coloured buffalo armored vehicle was slowly advancing towards them.

"Guys...I think you might want to have a look at this..." she said slowly turning back around in her seat as she spoke to Sam and Mikaela.

They turned in their seats and watched the vehicle closely; then to their horror it began to transform, and as it did it began to move faster. It knocked car's out of it's way as it advanced and then pushed it's way through a bus causing the bus to erupt in flames.

"Come on Optimus, get it..." the two girls heard Sam whisper fearfully.

Just as they thought the armored vehicle was about to pounce on the unsuspecting Autobots, Optimus began to quickly transform and he turned on his heel and faced the on coming Decepticon. The two robots rammed full force into each other, each trying to destroy the other. The teens watched in horror as the two bots began a battle to the death. Optimus managed to lay a punch on the Decepticon's face and the bot tumbled backwards but not

before grabbing onto Optimus's ankle. The two fell off the over pass and onto the one beneath them and continued to fight. Turning back around in their seats they were quiet.

"Well...that was...um...fun?" Sam said, with a lack of anything intelligent to say and the girls nodded slowly with a lack of anything intelligent to do.

They entered the city without any more interruptions, they got out of their cars and looked around; people were still bustling around as usual and they began to wonder if the evacuation had be set in motion.

Then they heard a jet go over head and the army got into motion, they began to throw down smoke bombs that would create green smoke and the kids heard Captain Lennox radio the jet, telling it that green smoke would signal where they were. But something was wrong and the Autobots could sense it, the jet was coming in too low, no army plane would ever dare go that close to civilians.

"It's Starscream!" Ironhide suddenly shouted out.

Bumblebee quickly got to work and transformed and grabbed onto a truck that had a picture of Furby's on it and began to hoist it up and move it until he and the truck were in front of the group of teens.

The sudden sound of missiles caught everyone's attention and everyone began to scramble about in search of a safe haven. Bumblebee braced himself and the truck for the impact.

The street exploded into a cloud of dust and flying debris; it blocked out the sun and it made Miley think about the extinction of the dinosaurs they had learned about in class. She was thrown a few feet by the impact as were Sam and Mikaela who were thrown through a shattered shop window.

She closed her eyes from all the dust and from her dizziness; a few moments later she opened her eyes to still see dust particles floating in the air and for a moment time stood still. The sun beams caught the dust particles making them shimmer like gold, it was beautiful. It occurred to her that it was hard to believe such a thing as dust could ever be as pretty and in such a time as this; and for a moment she noticed that all the world was suddenly quiet and she wondered if perhaps she had in fact died and was in heaven. But the sudden noise of shouts and screams from civilians woke her from her trance and she sat up and looked around wildly.

Mikaela ran over to her, tripping slightly over the cracked and up heaved side walk and road that no lay everywhere, her hair was covered with dust and splinters of wood was sticking in it and her clothes where ripped in various places; she looked a mess but appeared to be unharmed.

"Miley are you alright!" she said as she kneeled down next to her and gave her a worried hug.

"I-I'm fine...Where's Sam? Is he okay?" Miley said when she noticed that Sam wasn't with Mikaela.

"Yeah he's-" but she was cut off by Sam's voice.

"Oh no, Bee!" he shouted from somewhere in the mountain of debris.

The girls looked at each other in fright and then quickly stumbled to their feet and ran off in the direction that Sam's voice had come from.

They came up over a mountain of misplaced road and sidewalk and saw in horror that Bumblebee was trapped underneath the now half blown apart truck he had used to protect them. They climbed down from the mountain of sidewalk as quick as they could and rushed over to Bee.

"Bee!" Miley cried out and ran over to the crushed bot.

He looked up to her wearily and let out a small whimper as she gently touched the side of his face.

"Come on we have to try and get this ting off him!" Sam told the girls firmly as he ran over to the side of the truck and began to try and push it off him.

The two ran over and began to push too and Bumblebee did his best to try and pull himself out from under it. Finally after a couple of minute of strain the Bot was free of the truck and the teens walked back over to him with a look of horror on their faces.

"Oh god, Bumblebee, your legs!" Sam whispered in dismay as he saw that the bots legs had been blown off at the knees.

He looked up to them in sadness and tried to pull his injured body closer to them.

"Come on Bee..." Mikaela found herself saying as tears began to well up in her eyes at the sight.

"You're going to be fine okay; you can do this, come on Bee." Sam tried to sound encouraging to the bot but failed, he knew that Bumblebee was hurt bad and he turned and looked around wildly for the Autobot medic. "Ratchet!" he cried out but received no reply. In defeat he turned back t his suffering friend; he was at a loose.

Miley slowly walked over to the bot and rested her forehead against his gently; she looked at him through teary eyes and gently rubbed the sides of his face.

Mikaela felt tears run down her face at the sight of the two and she turned to Sam with a determined look on her face.

"We need to help him..." she choked as she cast a glance over to him and Miley before looking back to Sam.

Bumblebee must have heard this and he looked up and Miley turned to see what had caught his attention. Slowly he extended his

hand out to Sam and placed the Allspark carefully into his hands.

"Bee, no-" the boy began to start but the robot made a small sound and pushed the cube closer to the boy as if insisting that he have it instead and Sam took it from him reluctantly.

Miley and Mikaela looked to Sam and then to the cube, what were they going to do? The Decepticons knew they were here and would do anything to have the cube.

Mikaela suddenly bolted away from the scene and down the street.

"Where are you going?!" Sam and Miley shouted out as she continued to run down the street.

"We can't stand here and do nothing! I'm going to get help!" She shouted back and then turned and ran down an ally way.

The two stood and wondered if she would find help or if now they were on their own...
