That flight back to Chicago was the hardest flight that Sam had ever made.
The whole way he worried about Allison's safety, and so did Bee. They all knew they were flying into a death trap, but it was too late now.
After Sam had finished worrying about that he worried that Allison might not make it back to Chicago, Sam had already played with death but the Autobots were on his side so they saved him but Alli wouldn't be as lucky.
She hadn't done anything for the Autobots like Sam had, all she had done was fallen in love with Bumblebee which only meant that Bee would do anything and everything to protect her, which only went so far.
The 18-hour flight killed Sam, after not sleeping the whole time, he quickly became sleep deprived, but he was too on edge to sleep.
He looked down at his watch today was Christmas. Soon the plane began to descend and Sam relaxed a little when Epps told him that they had gotten Alli to the facility and they said she was going to be just fine, but only slightly because he knew that Megatron was lurking around the corner.
The plane touched down on the runway and Sam was chomping at the bit to get off that plane and have Bee drive him to the infirmary in N.E.S.T..
Soon the plane parked on the air base and Sam jumped into Bee's driver seat with Mikaela and the Camaro rushed them to N.E.S.T., which was only five minutes away from the military base.
Bee hadn't even fully stopped before Sam opened the car door and was running into the building, with Mikaela dragging behind.
"Sam! Slow down!" Mikaela gasped in between breaths as she ran down the hallways of the Autobot's headquarters.
She was exhausted, she just wanted to go back to their quaint little apartment, and curl up under the covers of the bed with Sam holding her in his arms.
But instead he spooked her into thinking he was dead, and then she had to watch him worrying, and now she had to chase him down the halls of N.E.S.T. to make sure his sister really was alright.
Even though Mikaela was pretty sure that they had told Sam the truth when they said she was all right.
Finally they reached the infirmary and entered to see the girl sleeping on a hospital bed with a few bandages on her forehead and one wrapped around her shoulder.
"She's bee through hell and back." Lennox said as he entered the room, and the nurse left.
"I know how she feels…" Mikaela remarked as she collapsed onto a chair, exhausted.
"I don't like how many close calls we've had this time, Sam." Mikaela said as she walked over to the little tin sink, and rinsed her face.
"I agree, one of these times we're gonna loose someone. And for good." Lennox added and Sam looked back at the two.
"It doesn't matter we have to help the Autobots! The Decepticons are planning to take over, they are planning to re-create Cybertron and make humans their slaves!" Sam yelled and Mikaela shushed him, pointing to his sleeping sister.
"Sam, all we are saying is we need to slow down. We need to relax a little, okay?" Mikaela said, walking over to Sam and taking both his hands in hers as Epps walked in.
"How's she doin'?" Epps asked, gently closing the door and walking over to the girl.
Epps was starting to think he might have a thing for Alli, but he knew Bee was protective over her and he didn't want to piss off an alien robot for getting, 'too close,' to his human.
"She's doing fine, but Whitwicky here isn't pacing himself." Lennox answered dryly he was annoyed with Sam. He had seen soldiers with Sam's same tactics and sooner or later he or his men always got killed.
"Sam! Look where yo sister is! Do you see her? Do you not see that she almost fucking died?" Epps screamed, as he pulled the blankets off the girl and exposed the bandage wrapped around her chest, and waist.
"I see her! I just… I don't know!" Sam yelled as he fell down into a chair with his head in his hands.
"Look Sam, right now you need to be extremely careful. So do the Autobots, because the government has a bounty on yo head, and the Autobot's head! They searchin' for all of us! An' if they find you, me, Lennox, yo girl, or yo sister… they gonna kill us or throw us in jail!" Epps announced and Mikaela's eyes widened.
"Sam, I want to leave. With or without the Autobots! I'm scared I want to leave here. I want to go far away from here, please!" Mikaela pleaded, she didn't want to die and be thought of as some criminal or American traitor.
She didn't want to go to jail for the same reason either.
"Mik, you're gonna be alright." Sam reassured the girl as she sat into his lap.
"You sure about that? What about yo sister? What about yo crazy alien car? What about yo parents? You just gonna ditch 'em, an' leave 'em fo' dead?" Epps asked, getting in Sam's face about the matter.
He hadn't thought about his parents, or Bee, or his sister, or for anyone else to be honest.
He was only thinking about how he and Mikaela were going to get out of this alive, with earth free and safe.
"I don't know, alright?" Sam yelled back at the military officer, as he stood up and paced around the room.
A knock came landing onto the door; it was a panicked and loud one.
"Come in!" Lennox yelled through the door, allowing the visitor entrance.
"Sir! Someone just blew up one of our carrier planes! We think it's the intruders!" The young man frantically yelled, and Sam knew the Decepticons were back to claim their prize.
"Shit! Alright, Epps you take Whitwicky and his girlfriend with you! I'll stay here and keep the sister protected! Go! Go! Go!" Lennox yelled as he quickly grabbed out his laptop, and radio and began yelling out orders, and directions.
For another ten minutes Alli slept while Lennox began shouting out things to his men, until finally she woke up.
When she woke her vision was fuzzy, and she was severely disoriented.
The only thing she could make out was the nearby sound of a man yelling, and she could see the sky through the window.
The noise, and disorientation sent her into a fighting and defensive mode and she spazzed, falling off the bed and then crawling back into Lennox.
She screamed as she ran into him, and Lennox picked her up as he had another leader come in and take over his task.
He picked Alli up, and she continued to breathe heavily and thrash around until her head cleared and everything was back to normal.
"Alli! Alli! Shhh! It's okay! You're here in the N.E.S.T. medical center! You're okay, you needed a few stitches but you're gonna be just fine!" Lennox said, hushing the girl and lying her back down in the bed.
"Where's Mikaela? Where's Sam? Where's Bee? What city am I in?" She yelled shooting out rapid-fire questions.
"Everyone just came by to see you but they had to go because the enemy has come back. You're in Chicago right now." Lennox explained and Alli steadied her breathing.
"Now Alli I have some important news to tell you… The government has decided that my team, and your brother, Mikaela, yourself, and the Autobots are a threat to the nation and we all have bounties on our heads."
"I'm going to keep you here for now, and I pray to God that you stay here because if you don't and you run into the government they will shoot you down or arrest you. Whichever comes first, so please stay here until I tell you that you may leave! Alright?"
Lennox stressed to her that he didn't want her leaving but he knew that as soon as he left the room in about two minutes she would be out of here and off to look for her brother or Bumblebee.
Alli nodded her head, and for a moment Lennox believed that she would stay like he had asked her to, but sure enough as soon as he left the room she jumped out of bed, ran over to the table in the corner of the room threw her clothes on, grabbed her cell phone and ran out the door.
She didn't know where she was running to, but this time she was a lot more careful where she was in relation to the distance of the Decepticons.
She scaled walls and ran across streets, looking for someone, anyone she knew.
She began running down the middle of the street when Bee came flying into her from the front, knocking her down as he slammed on the breaks and tapped her hard enough to push her over.
"Bumblebee!" She groaned, as she stood up and he opened the door for her as he apologized and began driving again.
"Where's Sam?" She asked and Bumblebee's GPS activated, showing a little blue, blinking light.
"Alright, then take me there!" She ordered as Bee picked up speed, and drifted around corners until he came to an old garage house where Sam and Epps were, planning their attack.
"Sam!" Alli yelled as she ran over to him and hugged him.
"Allison? How the hell did you get out? Lennox told me he was going to keep you in the medical center."
"I snuck out…"
"Allison, Whitwicky! Are you seriously that dumb to put yourself in danger?"
"Hey, asshole! I'm trying to help your fat ass! Now what's the plan?" Alli asked as she walked over to Epps and smiled at him.
Damn he liked her.
"Hey, Whitwicky. Feelin' better?" He joked, and Allison smiled as she looked down at the map they had constructed.
"Right now the Decepticons are winning, and we need to find a way to cut off their power supply which is their mother ship. If we can find a way to stop that then they're finished and we all go home free." Sam explained.
"Except for us, we have to run somewhere and change our freaking identities." Alli scoffed and Sam looked at her with a frown.
"Yes, we do. But right now lets just take it one step at a time." Sam said as he rolled up the map.
As they finalized the plan, RC and Wheelie sneak off after hearing what needs to be done.
"This is it RC, this is our chance to prove ourselves as the good guys! To prove we really are one of the Autobots!" Wheelie exclaimed and the two excitedly rushed out into the empty streets of the city.
"Alright, where is it?" RC asked as he transformed in a little remote control car.
"There!" Wheelie yelled as they quickly rushed towards where the ship was hanging low to the ground.
"Hurry!" Wheelie yelled as RC struggled to keep up.
Finally they made it to the ship and managed to latch onto the side of the ship as it quickly ascended into the sky.
"Where do we get in?" Wheelie asked as they looked around on the roof of the ship.
"Here!" RC yelled as he spotted a small hole and the two hopped down, landing right in the power compartment.
"Start pulling cords!" RC yelled and the two tiny robots began to furiously dislocate, cut, and tear wires from their plugs.
"Bee and I are going to go find Optimus!" Alli yelled as she hopped into the car and the two took off down the roads.
"Where are they Bee?" She asked as Bee pulled up his GPS and pinpointed Optimus exact location.
"They're by the bay! Move it Bee!" She yelled and the Camaro kicked into next gear.
As they neared the bay they saw tiny Decepticon planes begin to drop dead from the sky and explode on impact with the asphalt road.
"This is it Wheelie! The last cords!" The little robot yelled as he yanked out the last cords and the mother ship went up in smoke.
"Whoa!" Alli screamed as she saw the ship explode and pieces of debris fall all over the city.
"There they are!" Alli screamed as Bee drifted to a stop along side the bay as Alli got out and her brother and Mikaela, who immersed from a corvette, met her.
"It's over Megatron!" Optimus screamed as he blasted Megatron's head off, and Alli knew then that it was over and she smiled.
She looked around and everything seemed so peaceful in that moment.
"Duck!" Alli heard Epps scream as she turned around and saw the C.I.A. behind them, pointing guns at them.
The sudden harsh sound of a gun fired, and Alli felt herself go numb.
