-"What a clever idea." Joshua mutters. " Hiding in a glass box." Cade looks up, eyes nearly lasering the man to death.

" You can leave if you want." Cade quipps. Another shot, another blow and all of them duck below.

Lauren hides under a table, ears encasedin her hands. She blinks, eyesight blurry. She recognizes Bumblebee in the distance , and Hound. -" Damn, i'm almost out of Ammo." He sighs.

-" Cade!" Hound yells. " You'll have to move. we can't hold forever. "

-" Shit." Cade grunts. -" Tessa, Lauren you stay here." Then cade jumps up and he is gone, aliengun in hand.

Even with the added help of Cade the bots keep coming. The glass of the restaurant they find themselves in starts to shatter and she's scared, so scared, she can't hide in Shane's arms like Tessa does.

Lauren gets tired of the rumbling and squeaking of the man in the corner. But she thinks of everyone out there and then pinches her cheeks. Then she isq up and running, grabbing Joshua by his hands and making signs at Tessa and Shane. -" Come on, we have to go!"

Beneath salves of of bullets they are outside right after all the glass bursts and breaks. But they are ot alone his time.

Even though there are many enemies and they are outnumbered, the roaring cry of what sounds like a dinosaur is their salvation.

Optimus, Drift and Crosshairs have come.

" Is that...Does that autobot..fly?" Tessa mumbles and watches with disbelieving eyes at Crosshairs and the well..flying dinosaurs.

It's a mess in the streets of Hong Kong and Lauren is sad for a moment for the people who have lost everything or someone, because there are bound to be casualties.

-" Lauren, come with me!' Drift is next to her in an instant and then she is thrown on his shoulder.

-"Here." She blins as he deposits a rather large gun in her hands. " Is this...a bazooka?!" The blonde cries, voice giving out.

-" Not a bazooka, brave Lauren, an alien bazooka. Now hold on. when you see an ennemy you start shooting as best as you can."

- ' But I can't shoot! Unlike the stereotype not every Texan can shoot!" Lauren shouts hysterically at Drift, who is still running. -" Fast lesson then, my seito. Take hold of it there and pull that trigger. Ready? Remember, position, pull, shoot and repeat."

-" Urgh " The young woman mumbles. The samurai-autobot grabs his sword.

-" There they are! Remember.." Lauren sits herself closer to his head and positions the large gun on her lap.

-" Piostion,pull trigger, shoot, repeat. I got it!"

She's got no heart to kill a decepticon because she doesn't have the guts t see their spark go out, no matter how evil they are. So she shoots at their feet or their arms to delay them. Drift cuts through them like a knife trough butter.

Lauren closes her eys and steels her heart. They are trying to take over the world and kill all that she loves. She does not like shooting, but she eoes it anyway, even if it is just to spare more lives of the innocent, alien and human a alike.

They make quite the team she thinks. Not the best but they work together okay.

And then, of course, everything goes to shit.
