Epilogue: They Won

I wake up and find myself in a hospital room. People are running around, bringing more people in than out. I try to sit up, but fail. I'm in a full body cast and I see my cousin Justin sitting at my bedside. The only thing that's not covered is my face.

"Justin," I croak out. He doesn't say anything, but his eyes show so much relief. "Where am I? What happened?'

"They won Annie," he whispers. "After you fell off of Trump Tower, the necklace, it gave you a shield of protection. Anthony says a blue light engulfed you. It wasn't enough though. Epps and the others, they worked so hard to get you out of Chicago. When they did you were brought back to the base in Florida. You were out for a week."

"The Decepticons. What about them?" I ask. He hesitates before speaking.

"Cybertron was brought to Earth, it's here," he says. "The Decepticons are starting to take over the whole planet. So far it's North and South America. They built another Space Bridge to connect humans to Cybertron. The building process has already started."

"No," I whisper. My worst fears have come to life. The world as I know it, is turning into the nightmare I've been dreading would become reality. "No, this can't be. This can't be over! We have to fight back! Destroy the Space Bridge, something! Please tell me Lennox has a plan."

"Lennox is swept. He's busy as hell trying to maintain everything," he answers. "We moved to another base in Antarctica. We've been importing the injured, but we can't store anymore. The Decepticons are gonna come eventually and we don't have a plan."

I feel the tears in my eyes, but I force them back. It's not over. I won't let it be over. There is another way to defeat the Decepticons, we just haven't found it yet.

"You might not have a plan, but I do," I say. "Get Lennox."

"Annie, don't you see. It's all over. Soon, we'll all be under their rule," Justin says with his head held low.

"I worked my ass off protecting this planet from being slaves to the Decepticons. It isn't over until I say it is," I say with as much force as I can without fainting. "I'm not letting the Autobots die in vain. They would want us to fight back, take back what is rightfully ours. You can go sit on your ass and do nothing, but I can't. I'm not letting the Decepticons get away with this."

"What can you do Annie!" he shouts, standing up. "Look at yourself, your in a full body cast, for God's sake! You can't go out there. If you do your gonna die; is that what you want Annie! What good are you to anyone dead! It's over already! You just need to know when to give up!"

"You need to learn to not give up when it becomes tough! All you've done in this war is complain about how hard it is! That's all you ever do! You can't keep giving up when it gets a little hard!" I shoot back.

"She's got a point." I see Simmons. He's actually on his two feet again. Dutch is behind him and his neck brace is gone too. "I tell ya, this baby won't stop whining back in Egypt. Good thing you didn't take him with you to Chicago; big pain in the ass to drag around if you ask me."

"Excuse me!" Justin shouts. Simmons ignores him.

"Kid, if you got a plan, I'll be right behind you on it," Simmons says. He takes my hand and places something in it. I open my palm and see a red coin. "Keep it. You never know when you're going to need it." Then he turns to Justin. "You should listen to her more. She actually knows what she's talking about."

"She's crazy!" Justin shouts. "Don't you two get it? Look at what happened to Cybertron! And back then it was Autobots against Decepticons. We have no Autobots, we are alone!"

"You should shut up. You can go become one of their minions, but I'm not," Simmons says. Then turns to me. For a moment he doesn't look like a former government agent. He looks like a fatherly figure. I realize, I'm probably the closest thing to a kid Simmons ever had. All he has in that fancy mansion and fancy car is Dutch, who is mainly a bodyguard. I wonder how lonely it must be for him sometimes. "What's the plan?"

The Decepticons have taken over Earth. For three years, they've been building Cybertron, using humans as slaves. Annie Catalano, leader of the rebels, has to defeat Megatron before it's too late. When a visitor comes knocking down the door, will she be able to accept what she has always known, was a lie? "Is killing yourself worth taking down the Decepticons?" "Yes."

This will come up in about a few months since I am pre-writing. Please bear with me, and I'll see you in the late future :)
