Ello loves, I'm back with the next chapter. Sorry for the wait but I just bought a brand new computer~! It was the most money I had spent ever -_- but it was well worth it. :D

On another note, school started back up so I'm back to limited amount of time to write the rest of the story.

XxShadowfangxX: Thanks for the review, like always~! The con or Mr. Badbot/Alien Robot as Russet likes to call him is Barricade. I noticed that in the movie it shows him on the highway chase but, I don't ever see him in the fight at Mission City, so I wanted to add a part in as to why. It would have bugged me otherwise lol.

Flamingfoxviper: Thanks for the review~! I'm glad that you like the story so far and will continue to.

i luv niki4444: Thanks for the review~! I'm really glad that you enjoyed my story so much, even if it was a new type for you. It's nice to know that you think the story is so original. When I first started, I wasn't sure it was going to be any good at all! Thanks for pointing those two things out. I will be sure to fix them. I guess something happened with the first one… And here is your wish: update is here~! :D

xXGaurdianHeartXx: Thanks for the review~! I'm super glad that you like Russet. I thought she might be a little too much but I thought she would be a good contrast with her cheerful personality. Of course Jazz would live~! I can't let my favorite bot just die. I completely agree with you there. Have you read the Cirque Du Freak series? I'm only on the second book, but I really like they way the author does the vampires. For one thing, they DON'T sparkle.

Chapter 11: Battle of Mission City Part 4

Fleetfoot's POV

I watched as Sam continued to weave his way through the chaotic streets, trying to dodge cars and people alike. The black mech was encouraging him to keep moving.

Just then an F-22 came in low before transforming into a mech with red eyes, no doubt working with Megatron. He slid across the street before coming to a stop in front of Sam. He pushed cars out of the way, sending them flying towards the unprotected boy and myself.

It was time to step in.

I took my opening as the friendly mechs engaged battle with the other one. With them distracted from Sam, I pushed my paws into the ground and sprinted towards the boy. Without so much as a warning, I grabbed him by the back of his shirt and sped down the street, before stopping and releasing him.

He tried to scramble back unaware of my wanting to help. My ears perked and I looked in the direction of the sound to see that the F-22 had flown off only to be replaced with Megatron himself. My eyes widen at the sight of the evil mech.

I looked back to the boy before lowering down onto the dirtied street, a sign for Sam to get on. He didn't take a second look at the mech before scrambling onto my back. One hand secured to the All Spark while the other had knotted into my fur, making sure that he couldn't fall off. I took off running.

"Give me the Cube, boy!" Megatron demanded as he picked up a van out of his way and threw it behind him. I was able to hear people screaming as they tried to get out of his way.

Cars sped towards us, not seeming to notice the danger that they were heading towards. One SUV was on a collision course with Sam and me. At the last possible moment, I used the vehicle as a stepping stone, and launching us forward, away from Megatron.

As we hit the ground, the force caused the Cube to send out a pulse of energy that reminded me of Nightshade's. I shoved the almost random thought to the back of my head as it was not the time to be thinking of something like that.

Without any more trouble, we made it to the entrance of the white building. I continued on to the stairs where I had to have Sam get off. The staircase being too narrow for my form to fit inside; I nudged him forward before reverting to my human self and following after him.

"Keep moving, Sam!" I commanded as we made our way to the next floor.

Below I heard glass shatter as Megatron had entered, "I smell you, boy!"

We continued to race across the second floor to reach the next stairwell. What a pain this is turning out to be… Just then the floor rippled, heading towards up. Megatron crashed through the floor, trying to swipe at us. We looked up briefly to see the many levels of floor above us. This was going to be a long run…

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Eve's POV

I had watched as Fleetfoot and Sam had taken off down the road to their destination, followed by friendly mechs and a not so friendly. I wasn't too worried about the scout of the Pack; I knew that he would be able to get the job done.

I had already contacted Russet to inform her of the girl with a yellow mech being chained to a tow truck. I knew that she would be able to help at least a little with him while I was able to work on patching up the humans .Until she arrives and the enemies have been cleared from the area, I wasn't going to be able to help.

From my spot, I watched the girl pull the truck into an alley before stopping. I turned my gaze back to the soldiers to see them shooting at an enemy that was once a helicopter. Round after round, the mech still didn't go down. It returned fire and narrowly missed blowing the head off of a soldier.

I heard the rev of an engine. I whipped my head around to the noise only to find the tow truck in reverse; heading towards the enemy. The injured mech had a battle mask over his face as his arm changed into some kind of a cannon. He pushed cars out of his way as they neared the enemy. People shouting at the sight of the yellow mechanical alien as it began to fire off shots.

One shot missed completely and hit a building further down the road. The next shot hit the target square in the chassis. It spun from the force of the hit but didn't go down just yet. After a few more shots from the yellow bot, and soldier alike, the enemy finally fell to his knees.

One shot hit square in the middle of its chest, killing it. With a metallic moan from its frame, it fell into the remains of building that was on fire. The soldiers turned away to protect themselves from the ruble that flew their way. Tires squealed as the tow truck came to stop.

I had to stifle a giggle as the yellow mech cautiously pushed up part of his battle mask with his index digit. It was really cute to say the least.

While I waited for Russet to arrive, I tried to contact Battle to ask how she was doing with Nightshade.

"Eve to Russet, how is it going on your part?" I asked into the ear piece trying to get a response from her.

"I'm here, Eve. Shade is unconscious but healing just fine. I think she will be out for a while. I got a downed mech here as well. Tried taking on Megatron by himself. How is it on your end? It was a moment or two before I got a reply from her. I was relieved to hear that the Pack Leader was safe, even if she was unconscious.

"Much better now, just waiting for Russet to arrive so she can help assist me with an injured mech. So long as we have his legs, it shouldn't be too hard to help piece him back together. The humans are a little worse for wear but holding up." I replied instantly, listing off all of my observations. She thanked me for the information before telling me that she would ready Shade and the mech for transport. Afterwards, the com link ended.

I looked back towards the area where the where the soldiers were. I stepped out of my hiding place and walked towards them. I guess it was time to do my part.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Fleetfoot's POV

We had finally made it to the roof of the building. I could tell that Sam was starting to tire as he was breathing heavily but he kept going. He lit the flare as we saw that the helicopters were heading our way. He was shouting at try to grab their attention.

A third chopper came up to be level with the edge of the building as Sam stretched his arm out to the soldier that was trying to grab the All Spark. I looked up to see a Con fire at the helicopter, taking out the tail of the air craft. I forced Sam down, with my body over his as the helicopter's tail swung around and took part of the roof with it as he swept over us. My body tensed as I could feel the blades just missing us.

I got up off of Sam once it was safe. Sam slowly got to his feet as well as we heard a red and blue mech -whose name I think was Optimus or Prime as I had heard Megatron call him –shout for same to hold on. I glanced over to see the large mech running on the rooftops across from us. The helicopter that was shot spiraled past him and crashed on the spot that he had just passed.

I pushed Sam to get him moving again when a claw shot up from the floor. Looks like Megatron finally caught up with us. Joy. "Sam, keep moving," I called out to the younger boy.

We got to the edge of the building and climbed around to be on the corner of the building with Sam flushed up against the statue, All Spark clutched tightly in his hand. I came up behind him and gripped the statue with my hands as I made sure that Sam was secure. The last thing I need is for Battle or Nightshade to bite my head off for not doing a good enough job in protecting the boy.

Just then, Megatron broke his way through the floor and slowly stalked his way towards us. "Is it fear or courage that compels you, fleshlings?"

I looked around to see that the other red eyed mech a few buildings away. Sam was trying to look around him but that only made him loosen his grip on the statue. "Stop moving and don't look down if you don't want to fall." I growled in his ear as quietly as I could.

"Give me the All Spark and I may let you live to be my pets." I heard Megatron get closer. From here I was able to figure that he was a few statues down. Helicopter blades were also heard around the same place that his voice came from. That was not going to end well.

"I'm never going to give you this All Spark," Sam called out. I had to force myself not to groan at the boy's stupidity. I also had to applaud him also for being brave enough to stand up the large mech.

"Oh, so unwise," Megatron commented.

I heard chains clink together as I looked over to see where the mech was. My eyes widened as he swung his flail towards us. It connected with the building besides out statue and then I go airborne. I hear Sam yelling in panic as he also fell, but with all of the ruble and my spinning as I fell, I couldn't figure out where he was. Before I got to think much of it however, his screaming was cut off. He was either caught by Prime or he had gone splat on the street below us. I decided that it was the latter seeing as how I was still falling.

As I fell I saw that there was a balcony not far below me. Once I was closer to it I threw my arms out in an attempt to grab it and stop my fall. A split second later and I felt metal under my hand. I tightened my grip on and braced myself for the jerk that came shortly afterwards. I gritted my teeth as I felt the strain in my arm. I reached up with my other hand and pulled myself up.

I looked down in time to see Prime with Sam and the Cube fall to the ground with Megatron close behind them. Working quickly I spun around and pulled out a grabbling hook from my pocket and attached it to the wall. I slipped on my leather gloves and slid down the cords all the way to ground level.

People continued to run away from the destroyed area in a panic. I would think that if you saw giant alien robots in one part of the city there would be more in the rest of the city. But, what do I know? I transformed mid stride as I ran towards the scene. Prime had a servo over his chest where I was guessing Sam and the Cube were. Both he and Megatron were lying in two identical craters in the ground with a few humans lying on the ground between them either dead or injured. I saw on trying to move away as he was too close to the tyrant before being flicked into a car.

Fleetfoot what is going on with you and Sam? Was the Cube extracted safely? Of course, Battle just had to pick now of all times to contact me.

Negative. One of Megatron's men blew up the choppers that were supposed to retrieve it. Megatron himself came after us. He and a mech named Prime are now fighting. I lost sight of Sam though. I heard her growl at the news of the All Spark being unable to be retrieved that that I had lost sight of Sam as well. Come to my position. I need you to help me move Nightshade to a safer location. Come quickly I have a damaged mech named Jazz over here as well.

Right, I'm on my way. Get Shade ready for transport. I took one more look at where I saw the two giants fighting before turning and heading towards Battle.

With the area being crowded I wasn't going to be able to change to my wolf form. Sighing I took off down the street, dodging around destroyed cars, pieces of buildings that hand fallen and panicking people who were telling me to turn the other way. I ignored all of it for now and continued on my way to Battle and Nightshade.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

Russet's POV

I had finally turned the corner of where I knew that Eve was waiting for me. I looked to see that she was already working on patching up a soldier while the one was barking out orders on what to do. It appeared that he didn't know about Eve until he saw her working on one his men. He walked over to question her. I took that as my queue to show myself to them.

Eve having sensed me arrival looked up from her work briefly to smile at me, "It's about time you got here. I thought I was going to be patching all of them up on my own."

I laughed at the confused faces of the soldiers as they looked from her to the alleyway that I was coming from, having followed her gaze. "What, and let you have the damaged mech all to yourself?" I jokingly replied as I stepped into view.

Eve went back to working on the injured soldier as I turned my attention to the young soldier that seemed to be in charge of things along with a black man that was busy talking into a shortwave radio. The young soldier briskly walked over to me and was getting ready to speak when I held up my hand to stop him.

"My friends along with myself are here to help and have been helping for some time now. I would love to sit and chat about who we are, how we got here, what are we doing here, and anything else that you may be able to think about. However, right now is not the time or the place." I let the cheerfulness drop from my face as I spoke to the soldier with a more serious tone.

I didn't give much thought of him as I turned and started heading to Eve to see what she needed help with. I sensed that the soldier was still following me so I signed as he began to speak again. "I am Captain William Lennox and I cannot allow civilians to remain in the area, especially young civilians like you and your friend." Now, why did that name sound familiar? Oh well, I'm sure I can ask Battle or Nightshade about it later.

I heard Eve give a snort as she finished patching up the soldier that she was working on and moved on to another one. I smirked at her and kept walking. "Well then Captain Lennox, it's a good thing that we are not ordinary civilians." I stooped down to where Eve was and watched her work for a moment. "Anything that you need me to help with," I asked as she finished disinfecting a nasty looking burn before reaching for a new roll of bandages from her bag.

"Not right now. Until all of the fighting is over, you won't be able to look at that damaged yellow mech that I saw earlier. Also, Battle commed me and said that she also has an injured mech with her. Apparently Megatron tried ripping him in half, thankfully Battle distracted him and Nightshade caught him before they hit the ground." Eve started in English but then switched to German so that none of the other soldiers would be able to figure out what we were saying as easily.

I gave a nod and then stood from my spot. I spotted the black ops unit getting ready move out and decided to follow them. I wanted to see what they were going to do and if they were going to need any help or not. If anything I get out of just standing around waiting for something to happen. At least I knew that Eve and the wounded were in a fairly safe spot as the fight had moved away from the direct area.

I ran up next to Captain Lennox and the black man named Epps. The latter giving me a confused look before directing it over to Lennox. Lennox simply turned to his friend and gave him a I-will-tell-about-it-later look. I looked over to Epps and gave him a wicked smile and nodded over to Lennox. I was able to easily keep up with all of them as we ran in whatever direction they had chosen to get to the rest of the fighting.

Right as we were getting ready to head out into a joining street I heard the distinct sound of helicopter blades growing louder. I looked up to see that one was going to land on the street that was right in front of the soldier. I flicked my wrists outwards and sent my wires to wrap around the soldiers that were closest to the mech and pulled them back. I was careful to make sure that my wires didn't accidently harm the humans. Some glanced back at me with a questioning look before looking ahead of them again. I loosened my wires from them and allowed them to come back to me once again. Oh how I love retractable wires.

I watched in awe as the helicopter transformers and began to walk down the street. I got closer to the front and watched as it got closer to where Megatron and a blue and red mech that I think Fleetfoot mentioned was named Optimus Prime or something were fighting in the middle of the street. His right hand or servo turned into the tail rotors of his chopper form and had them start spinning.

I ducked back in to listen to Epps talk into the radio again. "We got fighters in 60 seconds. We got friendlies mixed with bad guys. Targets will be marked." Epps was going to stop when Lennox got his attention and told him to bring the rain. A wicked smile spread across my face at the thought of it.

The soldiers behind me became a mass of movement as Lennox had them get into position. He himself slung his weapon over his back and raced over to a fallen motorcycle and picked it up. He got on and started it. It made me wonder if the thing still had the keys in it or not. Knowing that everybody was screaming bloody murder when they saw the giant alien robots and tried to run away, I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Epps got down low and aimed a green laser on the mech as he spoke into the radio again. "Target marked. Still waiting."

I heard the faint sound of fighter jets soaring above as they circled closer. Along with that, Lennox drove the bike towards the mech. The green spot was moved to its servo where it was found. The robot turned around and fired a shot at the guys. I ran forward and flung my wires out to try and slow the mech's movements until the fighter jets could get a hold of him.

I gritted my teeth as the mech continued to thrash around, trying to sever my wires. Some of the soldiers also began shooting at it to try to buy more time as well. I heard Lennox on the motorbike speeding towards us but didn't bother to look behind me less I get distracted. When he got closer I smirked as he turned the bike on its side and slid off of it. Sliding on his back he pulled his weapon from behind him and took aim at the mech.

He fired a shot at its chest before shooting one… up its tailpipe? I would have burst out laughing at Lennox just making the mech a new tailpipe but that was the moment that I heard the fighter jets swoop down and brought the rain. The area lit up in a wonderful show of orange light from the attack with bits and pieces of concrete and metal went flying all around.

I ran after all of the soldiers as they charged towards Megatron and Prime. In the mist of the soldiers firing at Megatron and Prime trying to attack him, movement caught my eye under them, near their feet. I squinted to get a better look to see that Sam was curled up next to a piece of upturned concrete with the Cube close to his chest.

Just then, the fighter jets arrived and open fire on Megatron as the soldiers continued to fire as well. I was able to hear Lennox shout something about two's down. I wanted to go in and grab Sam from the middle of the fighting but knew that I wouldn't be able to, not with Megatron right in front of him. Prime was trying to get up as I saw the jets fly over head again.

Sam crawled backwards, away from Megatron as he was demanding the boy to give him the All Spark. On the other hand Prime was telling Sam to shove the Cube into his chest. I watched in awe as Sam stood up from his spot on the ground and step towards Megatron. He thrust his arms up and had the Cube shoved into the tyrant's chest.

I felt a pain in my chest as well as an echoed one in my head as I watched the All Spark merge with Megatron's chest and disintegrate. I could tell that the others were felling the same thing from the pain in my head that seeped through from our bonds. My hand grabbed at the fabric over my heart and gritted my teeth as I waited for the pain to subside.

Finally the Cube was gone and Megatron grabbed at his chest in a similar fashion as me before falling on his back for his red optics finally went dim. Prime went over to the fallen mech and murmured sadly something about his brother.

I was about to go to Sam when I felt the presence of the Pack. I looked over to see a large black mech that was helping a smaller silver one with a visor over its optics. Next to them was a yellow one that resembled a rescue vehicle. I broke out into a smile as my search brought me to see my Pack at the feet of the mechs.

Fleetfoot was in wolf form with Nightshade slumped on his back. Battle was beside them, getting Shade into a sitting position while Eve was checking over our Alpha. I gave a relieved laugh and sprinted over to them; completely ignoring the soldiers and bots alike I bolted down the street from where I was and raced towards my family. I saw Fleetfoot look up and stare at me as I drew closer. The others must have noticed as well as Battle and Eve turned to look at me. Battle took a step away from and held out her arm for a hug. I flung myself at my twin and nuzzled into her neck. She gave a soft chuckle at my antics before pulling me away and bringing my attention to the others around us.

We watched in silence as Prime told Sam that they were all in his debt. As I thought about it, the Pack was also in his debt as well. The others must have thought the same as they all nodded. Battle stepped away from me and took a step towards Sam with the rest of us following a bit behind her. Sam turned towards us as he saw us, his eyes widening as he saw Nightshade unconscious on Fleetfoot's back.

"Samuel Witwicky, we," she gestured towards the Pack. I gave him a grateful smile and nodded as the others gave similar gestures as well. "Are grateful for all of the help that you gave for Nightshade. You made it possible for us to find our missing Leader. For that, we too, are in your debt." As she ended, she bowed low to the boy. He looked taken aback as well with soldiers and bots alike. He looked towards the rest of us for help. Instead, the rest of us bowed to him as well in a show of submission and respect.

After a moment we all stood back up as we saw a tow truck pull up with a bright yellow mech attached to the back. It looked like that was the one that Eve was telling about. The door to truck opened to reveal a girl with long brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She closed the door and walk towards Sam only to stop a bit away from him and smile. He smiled as well before looking back at everybody else.

"We gratefully didn't lose any comrades, but instead, gained new ones. Thank you, all of you. You honor us with your bravery." The leader of the bots spoke up and gazed around at his men then to Captain Lennox and his soldiers. He glanced at the girl and Sam before landing on the Pack.

I heard a bit of static before a voice spoke up, "Permission to speak, sir?" We all turned to see that it was the damaged yellow mech that was on the tow truck.

I ignored them for the mean time and instead turned to Fleetfoot who still had Nightshade on his back. I was vaguely aware of the conversation that was taking place behind me. It was something about the yellow mech wanted to stay with Sam or something like that.

How is everybody fairing, I know you all felt it when the Cube was destroyed? I directed the question towards everyone but mainly to my twin. As I spoke I had walked over to Fleetfoot and stood next to the unconscious shape shifter on his back.

The pain subsided shortly after it was destroyed but we are unsure how it had affected Nightshade as she is still unconscious. Not to mention she has taken quite a beating these past few days it seems. Battle silently replied for all of them. I gave a nod with a slight frown. I was nervous for my dear friend and Alpha. I hadn't seen her in so long and the last time that I had it was of not the best of circumstances.

We were all pulled form our thoughts as we heard a voice call over to us. On instinct we all surrounded Fleetfoot and Shade with our weapons drawn. My wires whipped protectively around us as we barred our teeth at the one that had startled us.

Getting a good look, I noticed that it was Sam, is girlfriend and Captain Lennox that had been walking over. I saw that Lennox had stepped between the teens and us when he saw our protective stance. I was the first to relax, my wires calmed as I did.

I walked past the Pack and gave an apologetic smile with my hands raised to show that I was no threat. "I apologize for our actions. We are weary of those that are not part of our Pack." I began to explain as I saw that the soldiers hand in fact turned their weapons on us, even some of the bots looked a little weary of us. I couldn't blame them however. When I couldn't think of a way to continue, I glanced back at my twin for help.

She lowered her gun and slung it on her back. As she did, I saw that Eve had also relaxed some as well as Fleetfoot. It looked like she was going to say something but, before she got the chance; somebody else had beaten her to it.

"Hey, you're like Selene, aren't you?" I looked over to Sam and tilted my head to the side in question. "I mean, your friend, he's a giant wolf; Selene can do the same thing. And you said something about a pack, like a group of wolves, right?"

I gave a sideways glance to Battle, unsure of what we should do. Thankfully, it looked like she knew. She allowed her eyes to roam over the forms of all of the soldier, briefly landing on Lennox and Epps before moving on to the bots around us. Her calculating gaze paused for a moment on Prime before sweeping over his men and pausing again on the smaller silver mech with the visor; her eyes narrowing in thought.

After a moment she finally spoke up, looking back at Sam. "While we may not be able to tell you everything right now without Nightshade's permission, less we punished from it when she comes around. We can however, answer a few questions, so long as it is within our limits. Though, I do not think that here is the best place for such things." She gave a pause to allow the new information to sink in.

"She's right, we need to get the wounded treated and you guys," and this he gestured to the bots, "we need to get some place more private to hide you now." Lennox spoke up.

"I just got word from the Sec. Def.; he says that we can head back to Hoover Dam for now until we can work something out." Epps replied with radio in hand

I felt the whole Pack tense at the thought of going back to that dreaded place. I watched as everybody had agreed and then as they turned to us for our answer. I turned to Battle as she would be the one to decide in the end for the Pack with Shade being unable to.

"It would seem that we have no choice but to go back. However, I will warn you now: If one of the members in my Pack of myself feels threatened from those that reside there, I cannot guarantee that no harm will come to them. That is a place that none of the Pack will willingly stay in if we were given the choice." Battle spoke with such finalism in her voice that the only thing that they could do was nod at her answer.

"Right, let's get out of here then." Lennox called out at everybody as we saw more military vehicles come up.

I let a sigh escape me. I looked around me as everything was a mass of movement once more. I could only think that this was just the beginning.

~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~

And that is finally a wrap for this chapter~! I have a three day weekend so I don't have school this Monday and was able to get the rest of this chapter finished.

Because of the long wait, and the fact that I didn't want to drag on the battle of mission city any longer, I made this chapter longer than the others.

We got to see more from Russet's POV, yay! I thought to have her POV in this chapter since there wasn't a lot of her in the story.

Anyway, the next chapter will be the ending of the first movie and will lead us into the sequel~!

Let me know how you all like the story.

Nyghtflower signing off for now~
