Chapter 14

Battle at Mission City

The All Spark stopped glowing and fell to the ground. After a tense moment of silence Optimus picked it up. "What should we do…now that we know that the last shard—and the core at that—is stuck inside of Sora?" Hotshot asked calmly. "We could try a surgical removal." Adam suggested. My heart dropped. I've never stayed in a hospital before—unless you count when I was a newborn. But I'd never surgery! "We have no idea what that'll do to Sora. For all we know she could go into cardiac arrest—or even worse—die the moment the Shard is removed from her body," Maggie protested. Great. That makes me feel loads better!

The room shook once again. "That's not important now." Optimus began. "We must get the cube out of here and away from the Desepticons." He finished. "We'll have black-hawks in the area ASAP." Simons responded. "No good, not here." Maggie said. "Why not?" I asked. The dam seemed perfect: open, big, and it had already been evacuated. "Not only are news helicopters all over because they want to know what's going on here, but if you'd take a look at your phones people," Maggie trailed off as every one pulled out their phones. I also did. There was no signal. "There's no denying it," Jazz said. "The Desepticons are screwing with all long range signals coming out of the area," he finished.

"Well what do we do?" Simons asked exasperated. "Mission City," Will announced. Every one looked over to him. "There'll be enough cover for us to get evac on the (I nearly typed "cube" there, ^_^') All Spark." He finished. "Well men," Gates announced. "You heard him; lets move!"

(…)

Y'know how much my adrenalines been pumping since I got in on all this craziness? That's nothing compared to what I was feeling at this moment. My heart was pounding, my hands were shaking, and I was holding on to the All Spark for deer life. We were headed into Mission City. Oh boy, oh boy. What if my parents saw me? What if a brawl broke out? There'd be no hiding this from the public without violating some one's freedom of speech—or something!

"Sora, mind letting go of the seat, it kind of hurts." I used the other hand to squeeze the All Spark. "If you were holding him hard enough to hurt him…" Adam mumbled. "Some ones nervous," Will jeered. "Can you blame me?!" I breathed leaning into the front seat. I just found out I'm practically a frigging zombie or something!"

We entered the city and had to slow down. We soon stopped at an electronics shop and Adam brought a few radios in. "Here," Will threw them to me. Why me? Oh yeah; I was the resident genius.

I got out and laid the radios on Hotshot's hood. People began to notice the motorcade of sorts and gathered around. Some soldiers broke the commotion apart, but I could see people atop and inside buildings crowding to the buildings' edges trying to see what s up. Many were pulling out their phones to suddenly look surprised and angry. So the Desepticons were near and jamming all signals. I tried to drown it out as I looked at the radios.

"Not good," I said. "W-w-whoa. What's up?" Will asked. "I wont be able to get much out of this thing."

"Sorry but that's all we got." One of Will's friends said. So I tried to fiddle with them. Eventually I ended up wiring in my communicator/watch and got a decent signal out of them. "OK, we're good. I wired in Autobot tech so the Desepticons shouldn't be able to block the signal for too long." I said handing the enhanced radios to Will. "Raptor, raptor, do you copy?" He began. "We need Black Hawks on evac of civilian with precious cargo." There was a tense moment of static before a gargled voice came on. "Roger that, Black Hawks en route." We all let out a sigh of relief.

Some one's dog began to bark wildly. I got a slight sickening feeling—a far less intense version of the feeling I got when I was near Thrust. Jet engines roared. "W-Will…did they say anything about fighter jets." I asked. "I wish…" he breathed. "Heads up! Desepticon!" Ironhide bellowed. "Duck and cover!" Simons shouted. We all obeyed. Just then the building beside us burst into flame. Debris flew every where and civilians ran screaming. "DESEPTICONS ATTACK!" Came from a few streets down. Every one who was still in them got out of the Autobots and they transformed. "Autobots, roll out!" Optimus responded. A rain-shower of sparks and explosions was let loose on the unsuspecting city. Ironhide and Jazz were busy providing cover fire as Will get the All Spark. "OK we need some one who can run fast and we need him now." Will said. "Sora can do it." Optimus announced. We all looked at him. "Sora, the Spark shard in your chest gives you abilities that far exceed that of a normal human when you feel you need them."

"If any one can do this, you can!" hotshot encouraged. "We will protect you!" Ironhide told me. I guess there was no turning back.

I nodded, and Will gave me the All Spark. "OK, there is a big white abandoned building with statues on it down the road. I want you to get to the top of it, and light this flare. Just hit the bottom hard against something." Will said as he handed me the flare. I nodded and broke out into a run. The Autobots followed behind me.

Civilians looked in both awe and horror at the behemoths running amongst them. The Desepticons followed close behind. I heard police sirens and thought nothing of them—until the too familiar sound of metal slicing against metal echoed and there was a roaring robot jumping on top of Jazz. "Keep going!" He yelled as we stopped and looked back. Jazz blasted Barricade in the face and pushed him off. "Just get to the building!" I kept on running. Devastator and Cyclonis came out and took on Ratchet and Ironhide. Not good. Many more civilians scattered. They began fighting. "Go!" Ratchet yelled. "Get to the building!" Ironhide finished. Jet engines roared and I saw Starscream with a kid. Optimus's and Hotshot's widened. Barricade came over holding a struggling Jazz. They looked at me and I knew what I had to do. "Don't worry. I wont lose!" I broke out into a mad dash of the near by building.

(…)

I could feel it; the All Spark was giving me strength! Not only the shard in me; but the huge basket ball sized stone in my arm too! I was almost at the building when more jet engines roared. These sounded different from normal ones.

An unfamiliar model of fighter came before me and transformed into Megatron. "Hello there insect." I hadn't stopped running. But I did look back. There was a dumbfounded Megatron staring between his legs. Being small had its advantages.

I was in the building when there was a huge crash. "Come on out meat bag!" Megatron bellowed. I stopped for a second and tried to catch my breath behind a pillar before breaking out into a run again. "I smell you girl!" Does he seriously think that'll do anything besides make me run faster?

I went up like 3 flights of stair when I decided to look up. Still a long ways to go. I'd never be able to get away from him at this rate!

The all Spark began to glow again. I leapt from edge to edge of the stare case using one foot to bound off of each side. Eventually I climbed onto the top ledge and went out a door. I had finally made it to the roof! I pushed some old clothes lines (what were those even doing there?) out of the way and smashed the bottom of the flare against a wall. It lit up in a burst of smoke and light. I could see the helicopters getting closer. "HEY!" I screamed. "HERE! OVER HERE!" And then my attention was drawn to a near by building. Star scream was atop it with his arm readied as a canon. There was a faint "doom" sound. The helicopter burst into flames.

Not too soon after the ground behind me exploded and out came Megatron from what used to be a section of roof.

Optimus thrust his sword into devastator's head, in tern decapitating him. Hotshot limped over to Optimus, holding his right arm. Starscream had been a tough adversary for him. Ratchet and Ironhide came over to Jazz; he was missing an arm and a leg. Hotshot blasted at Barricade's body again angrily. He was now dead. Barricade may have nearly killed Jazz, but doing so to him didn't change that. "Look!" Hotshot breathed. There was a small column of dark red smoke bellowing from the building will had told Sora to go to. There was a helicopter fast approaching. Where was Megatron amidst all of this? And where had Starscream gone? The helicopter burst into flame in a spectacular explosion as stone and debris bellowed up from the building.

"Ratchet, Ironhide. Tend to Hotshot and Jazz." Optimus transformed and made his way over to the building.

I was cornered, on the top of the building, hiding behind a statue, holding the All Spark with my eyes shut tight. "Come on now little on." Megatron jeered. "Come with me and you may live to be my pet." He said leaning around the other side of the statue. I got up and backed onto the corner of the building—still holding the All Spark. "Still wont accept my offer?" He said. I flicked him off. I've always wanted to do that ^_^!

"Very well then." He sliced through the corner of the building—in tern sending me falling.

The sensation of falling—I've always wondered what it was like. It was exhilarating. Almost exhilarating enough to keep me from thinking about how I was going to die in a spectacular "SPLAT" as soon as I hot the ground. I held the shard to my chest and braced for the end.

"Sora. Unleash it. I will help you."

The All Spark lit up and broke apart. The shards formed rings around my body and I suddenly stopped right above Optimus's hand. I looked up at him as I was slowly lowered down onto his hand. "GIVE ME MY ALL SPARK!" The rings of spark shards that were surrounding me broke apart and formed spinning rings in front of me. Megatron was blasted into the building. Optimus and I looked at each other—both dumbfounded. The all spark returned to its basketball sized form and landed in my arms.

Optimus ran away from the sight and placed me behind him. "Sora, take care of the All Spark. If all else fails, I will thrust it into Megatron's chest."

"What'll that do?" I asked. "Destroy him and the All Spark in the process." I was cool with that. Megatron burst from the building—now mostly in ruins—and flew over to us angrily. Optimus tightened his grip on the All Spark. "Ah why cant it ever be as simple as you handing me the All Spark?"

"You know its never that simple with me."

Dude, Optimus sure knows how to act epic and cool at the same time!

"RAAA!" Megatron barreled towards us. I ran behind a light post and saw the 2 giant robots brawling over each other. Optimus brought out his sword and stabbed Megatron (who was on top) in the gut. He roared in pain and got off. "Why defend the humans?!" Megatron bellowed. "I have seen goodness in them. They deserve freedom from the likes of you."

"THEN JOIN THEM IN EXTINCTION!" Megatron slapped his hands together to form a long cannon. Optimus shot around and took a defensive position around me with his rams raised. There was a blinding flash of light and Optimus yelled out in pain. He dropped down on his hands. This wasn't good! I walked over behind him to see a large section of metal and circuitry missing from his back. "No-no-no-no-no! Come on! Get up! You have to get up!" I yelled. "There's no point in it now child." Metal wrapped around me and I was lifted into the air. The All Spark pressed painfully against my torso. Megatron looked at me. "Watch, as I kill your feeble kind's last hope." Optimus turned around still on his knees. He tried to get up but he couldn't. He was too badly injured! Megatron turned his other hand into another canon.

"Goodbye brother. This feeble race will soon follow you."

Time froze at that moment.

Optimus…was Megatron's…brother…!

Who knew they had such a history! And Megatron was going to kill him! His own brother! I had a dream where one of my sisters had died once and I was still crying when I woke up. How could Megatron disregard such bonds?? I could feel the anger building up inside of me.

"Remember Sora. Fight for, not against."
"For Optimus…" I told my self. Time began to move in a normal pace and Megatron was almost finished charging his canon. The All Spark began to glow brightly. It showed through Megatron's hands. I let loose. There was a flash of blue/silver light and Megatron roared in pain as I landed nimbly on my feet. He clenched his arm—missing a large section of hand. I came up to Optimus, the All Spark fragments revolving around me. I knelt down and held his hand. The shards' energy went through me to him and resonated through Optimus's body healing him in the process.

Optimus got up and looked at him self. He then looked down at me. If he wasn't wearing his mouth cover he'd probably be smiling. "INSOLENT LITTLE—"

"I am really getting tired of that insult." I said. Megatron readied his canon. Optimus wasn't going to give him a chance this time. He rammed into Megatron and pulled out his sword. The brawl broke out. Optimus tried stabbing Megatron but he jumped away. Megatron used his smaller blaster but Optimus deflected the blasts with his sword. Optimus then took the chance to catch Megatron off guard and he pounced on him, placing his sword Over Megatron's chasse. "Sora, now!" The shards seemed to react to my thoughts and desires. So they quickly joined up as the whole All Spark again. I threw the All Spark as hard as I could over at Optimus. He caught it and thrust it into Megatron's chest. The All Spark disintegrated into his body. Megatron let out one last roar and his eyes lost their red glow.

"You left me no choice brother." Optimus mumbled. I just gaped at the sight that was before me. Megatron…the worst of the worst…lay on the city street…dead…!

"Optimus you won!"

I couldn't help but start jumping and screaming. It was reflex ^_^. "That was amazing!" I yelled. Optimus took off his mouth cover and looked down at me. "So…it is finally over."

I heard large footsteps. In a moment there was another burst of celebration coming from the Autobots and the American military. "We won."
