This girl does not own Transformers, (but the OC's are mine bwahaha! The realm of Cybres is mine) but she wishes she did, because, frankly, that'd be awesome!

Chapter 11
Never Would You Leave Me
Dusk POV
"Hold still!" Hatchet snapped, "This will be more painful if you don't stay still!"
"Not a chance!" I cried, thrashing, "Keep that thing away from me!"
Ratchet looked at the syringe, then looked at me his holo's blue eyes flashing in annoyance.
"When was the last time you had a tetanus shot?" he asked.
"Never…" I growled, "And I ain't gonna start now!"
"Dusk, please calm down," 'Sides said as his arms gently gripped my shoulders, keeping them down.
I glared at him.
"I don't want a shot!" I snapped.
"You were injured," 'Sides said, "It's just to make sure you don't get an infection."
"Stop siding with him 'Sides!" I snapped, "I thought that…ow!"
"Got it," Ratchet said, smugly, before letting his holo flicker out.
'Sides cocked his head, like he just heard something.
"What's that?" he said, nervously as I pinned him with a death glare, "Coming Sunny!"
And he blinked out.
"Not funny!" I shouted, rubbing my arm as I got off the berth and gave chase, "Get back here you coward! Come back and fight like a mech!"
….
"You know," I said, "Sometimes leaving your charge in a room full of potentially deadly weapons isn't such a good idea 'Sides…"
"Shh," he said.
"Don't tell me to shush!" I snapped, "I…"
"Dusk!" he snapped, "Please! Something's wrong."
"Like what…?" I asked, flying up to his shoulder as I watched the screen, "Oh dear Maker of All!"
It was Sentinel.
"Defenders of Earth," the traitor said, "We have come for your natural resources to rebuild our damaged planet. When we have transported all we need, we will leave your world in peace,"
"Pieces," I muttered.
"Shh," 'Sides said.
"For such peace to exist you must immediately exile the Autobot rebels you have harbored. Nonnegotiable. Renounce the rebels. We await your reply."
It was dead quiet in the base.
"Exile," I whispered, "No way,"
Cars screeched to a halt outside the base. All of us, 'Bot, human and Halfling alike, turned towards Mearing and her crew.
"No," I breathed, "no!"
"By order of the President of the United States," Mearing said, and I could tell it hurt, "We can no longer grant you asylum here on this planet."
Ben POV
Dusk looked, not ticked, not sad…
Scared.
Like she knew something bad was going to happen.
I put my hand on her shoulder.
"What are we gonna do?" she asked, "We're all gonna go, and there's nothing we can do to stop it…"
She turned towards me, tears in her eyes.
"I don't want to lose you," she whispered.
I embraced her.
"Me neither," I replied, stroking her back, "I refuse to leave you like that."
"I have no choice," she muttered, "I have to go with them. With my family."
"But what about us?" I asked, "What about you and me and Amber?"
"I-I dunno," she said, turning towards the entrance of the hanger, "Wait…is that Sam?"
"Looks like it,"
"He looks upset," she said, "I'm gonna check it out."
"We'll both do it," I said, "The last things I get to do with you on this earth…I don't want to miss a single moment."
"…I'm a Twitter junkie," Sam said as we walked over, "I blog everything. I can't keep a secret to save my life,"
"Ha!" Dusk snorted, "That's a laugh."
"You wouldn't dare," Mearing said, I could see the icicles off her words.
"That's the truth," Sam said, shrugging, "I'm telling you."
"Director," Mearing's assistant said, "The Pentagon's calling in 15."
Mearing walked over to the TV, and we followed her this time.
We reached it…
Right as the reporter delievered the real bad news.
"The U.S. military alliance with them is officially over."
Dusk's knees gave out caught her right before she hit the floor.
"Dusk," I said, as my girl began to sob, "I'm so sorry,"
"These are our allies," Sam protested, "The Autobots fought for us. They fought with us!"
"And where are we now?" Mearing asked, "Facing an enemy invasion with an enemy that has the means to deploy countless more."
And she walked towards one of the planes with Sam. She turned back around.
"Dusk, I need you to come with me," she said.
Dusk nodded mutely and began to walk towards Mearing and Sam.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dusk POV
Wrecked.
That's my life right now, wrecked.
I sat across from Mearing and next to Sam in the plane as we flew across the ocean. I looked out the window at the sky and water.
"If there is any more you know," Mearing said to Sam, "Anything at all about the enemy's intentions, now is the time to tell."
Sam looked down and sighed.
"Autobots have no way of leaving this planet," he said softly.
"And that is where you are wrong," Mearing said, looking at me as we landed.
I didn't look up from my place at the window as the ship came into sight.
"Dusk," Mearing said, "Tell him,"
I got up and headed out the door slowly, Sam at my heels.
"Its name is the Xanthium," I whispered as I went down the stairs, "It brought the second wave of Autobots and it's been under NASA's care and study ever since. They've linked it with a decommissioned shuttle to maintain military control…"
"Until they're gone," Mearing finished.
"But…" Sam started.
"Please," I said, looking away, "I would like to be with my family right now."
"Go on ahead," Mearing said.
I nodded my thanks and ran towards the ship.
'Bee and Optimus greeted me, and I broke down crying again.
Optimus took a long look at Sam, who had stopped on the walk way.
"I need to speak with Sam, Dusk," he said, "I will be back shortly,"
"I can't believe they're doing this to us," I said, leaning against 'Bee's leg as Optimus talked with Sam.
"It's not you they're kicking out," he said softly.
I turned around and looked up at him.
"What do you…?" I breathed, "You mean, they're gonna force me to stay!? Here?!"
"I thought you knew," 'Bee said sadly, "That was the condition part you didn't hear, 'leave the Halfling, for she is human as well',"
"But…" I stuttered, "But…no! They'll…I'm gonna…"
I heard a dull thudding on the concrete and looked up.
Dad.
He looked at 'Bee and sighed.
"Make it short," he said as he continued, "We're loading up,"
'Bee looked at me, then at Sam.
"Go," I said, "I'm gonna talk with Dad."
He nodded and walked over to his first human friend. I ran up to Optimus and firmly planted myself in his path. He picked me up, holding me close.
"I am so sorry," he whispered, "Forgive me, Sweetspark,"
"I'm coming with you," I said stubbornly looking up at him.
"You must remain here," he said back, "You would be miserable if you came with us."
"How so?" I challenged, "I'm with family!"
"But you would never see Ben or Amber ever again," he pointed out, setting me down.
I slumped, but looked back up again.
"Stay here," I said.
He looked down at me, genuinely stunned.
"I-I cannot," he whispered, "they will kill the human race."
"Have you ever thought that they'd do the same to me once you left!?" I nearly screamed, "They'll kill me! I'll have no protector!"
My sobs built up in my chest, and I released them.
"I need you," I sobbed, "Don't leave me! Please!"
"I must,"
"Please…" I begged, reaching out through the bond, trying to reach him.
And I hit a solid wall.
He was blocking me.
Me. His daughter, his sister.
He blocked me!
"I am sorry," he whispered as he turned.
"No!" I cried, stumbling after him, "No! Optimus wait!"
But he kept going.
"No!" I wailed.
Ben caught my arm and held me fast, I hissed and screamed and cried, but he didn't let me go.
"DAD!" I keened, "DAD COME BACK! PLEASE!"
I sent a wave of hurt and pain and anguish through the bond, watching him shudder as it slammed into the wall.
But he didn't look back.
And that hurt worse than any pain someone could deal.
It felt like my Spark was breaking into pieces.
….
At dawn, I watched the ship blast off, and I stood in Ben's embrace numbly. My family was leaving me.
'Sides, Sunny, 'Cee , Jolt, 'Bee, Hatchet…
Dad.
Fresh tears spilled down my face as I watched the Xanthium take off, like a fiery star.
"It's going to be ok," Ben said, "It'll be ok,"
But it wasn't.
I was in grave, grave danger.
A high pitched whining sound met my hypersensitive ears and I looked up.
Just in time to see Screamer fire a missile at the ship.
Just in time to see the Xanthium explode into myriad pieces of flaming wreckage.
I heard a high pitched, animalistic scream and in horror, I realized that it was coming from me.
I felt a full brute force hit the bond. Hurt, pain, anger, shock, grief.
Scenes from places I'd never seen flickered into my mind.
A pretty pink femme holding Optimus' servo in front of a beautiful crystal garden, a blue eyed, silver mech with the same look to his armor as Megatron's playfully giving Optimus a shove, a wild looking party with two brightly colored mechs jamming to music while Optimus jammed his servos into his audios…screams, fire, death, a red eyed Megatron holding his sword aloft, the All-Spark being ejected into space, 'Bee's still and bleeding form lying on the ground a hole gaping from where his voice box once was…
Life on Cybertron.
The darkness of space flashed by, crash-landing in the desert, the first alt driving down the highway, Sam and Mikaela, hiding under a bridge, watching 'Bee get kidnapped, fighting a 'Con with a whip-like tail, battling Megatron and saving Sam, the All-Spark's destruction…
And then, Me.
Me running from them, coming back with 'Sides, pranking 'Hide and Hatchet, blasting 'Side's radio until Hatchet gave my iPod back, me and Taulmaril, the Cemetery with Sam and 'Bee, the Forest Battle with my terrified face, Blackness, then light, my bloodied face as I jumped off Optimus' chassis, "Dad", Taken from his arms, me and the Prime's Staff, coming back into his arms.
Life on Earth.
And then…nothing.
I sank to my knees, letting out cries of rage and despair as the flaming hull crashed into the sea.
My Family…was gone.
My brothers…were gone.
And the most shocking…
My Dad…was gone.
I was alone.
