"Yo Space Dorito! You looking for me?" I scream, after I had gotten far enough from the house. I dash away as Starscream turned around.

"Where are you girl?" I hear him ask and I let out a laugh.

"I'm everywhere!" I hide in a house, keeping quiet. I hope that they kept quiet as well, so they wouldn't get hurt. I heard Ravage walk by, and I look out a tiny hole and see an insecticon. I grab it, squishing it. Starscream tears through the roof, and I scramble out of the house. Starscream slams his hand against the wall, allowing me to find a little hall-like alley and climb the stairs, jumping when I ran out of stairs. I jump to the other roof, landing hard on my back. I roll off the roof and onto the sand, scrambling up and running away. I look towards the soldiers and grimace.

"I don't think they know I'm here." I give myself a little shake before running again, jumping over a car so I wouldn't lose my momentum. When I looked behind me I saw Sam and Mikaela running after me.

"Nova! Nova! Wait for us!" I hear Mikaela yell. I ignore them, spotting Ron and Judy. They see me and start screaming my name. We run towards each other, and I hear a Decepticon coming. I stand up, holding my hands up.

"Wait! Wait!" I scream.

"Please listen to me! I want you to run! Run!" I hear Dad say.

"Dad, just stop! They don't want you, they want me!" I scream at them.

"Oh God!"

"Nova Witwicky." Rampage groans out.

"Don't hurt them. This is what you want. You don't want them." I hold out the knife bag with the Matrix dust.

"Go! Go!" Judy screams.

"Please, stop!" I tell them.

"Stop!"

"Listen to your father!"

"Just get out of here!" I hear Bee whistle and I glance at him.

"Just don't hurt them. I know what you want." I try to reason with it.

"Just go! Just go!"

"And I know you need me because I know about the Matrix and because I'm the one Fallen wants."

"Don't do it, Nova…"

"Please Dad."

"They're going to kill us all anyway!"

"Hey, hey… Here's what you want, right here." I manage to get Rampage to turn around.

"Bumblebee!" I scream, and he jumps onto Rampage, kicking him away. We scatter and I look at Bee.

"Kill him Bee. Kill him." I scramble back further, watching as they duke it out. Ravage suddenly jumps onto Bumblebee and starts attacking him, and I watch in horror as Bee rips Ravage's spine out. I grab Sam and Mikaela's wrists, pulling them towards the car nearby.

"Stay tight Ma." I say, glancing at them.

"Come on. Get in here." We press ourselves against the vehicle, watching as Bee kills Rampage.

"Bee?"

"Yeah." We all start running.

"I don't know what's going on, but we've got to move!" Dad yells. Some missiles hit near us, shaking the ground, making us fall.

"There's got to be a way out of here!" Dad screams. "Judy, get back, get back, get back."

"Against the wall! Against the wall! Against the wall. Against the wall." I say, shoving them towards it. "Bee! Bumblebee!"

"You get them somewhere safe, all right? You've got to get in the car and get to safety." I tell Dad, trying to get him to go.

"No, no, this isn't up for discussion!" Ron yells at me. "You're my daughter! Alright! You're my daughter and my youngest!"

"I know. Dad…"

"We all go together!" He screams.

"Listen.."

"We're all going together!" He shakes me, trying to get me to agree.

"Dad, stop okay? Get in the car. He's gonna get you all to safety." I rest my hand against his cheek, getting him to look at me. "You know, you run. You don't stop, you don't hide, you run. You hear what I'm saying, okay? I'll find you when you're safe."

"No."

"You've got to let me go Dad. You have to let me go. You have to." I beg.

"Ron." Judy comes over. "Ron. Ron, let her go."

"You come back! Come on." Dad says, getting up.

"Ron! Mikaela! Sam!" Judy says, running to Bee.

"You've got to go with them." I say, pointing at Bee.

"I'm not gonna go without you." Mikaela says, looking at me. I shake my head, grabbing her wrist and running. I didn't know if Sam went with our parents or was following me, but either way I know he would be safe. We manage to reach Arcee and Ironhide.

"Hey Nova!" Ironhide yells.

"Ironhide!" I call out.

"Follow us to the pillars. We'll take you to Optimus." Arcee says, and I gasp as Arcee gets shot.

"Get out Nova! Get to the pillars!" Ironhide yells, and I nod.

"Come on, let's go." I grab Mikaela's and Sam's wrists, pulling them along. We were practically flying with how fast we were running. I keep glancing at them, making sure they were keeping up.

"Move!" I scream when a missile lands hear us, and the fight surrounds us. We maneuver around everything, running towards the pillars where Optimus would be. We run past a dead Decepticon, and I knew Megatron was chasing us now. I see Sideswipe and start waving my shirt, which had come off, yelling. I was only in shorts and a sports bra now, but I didn't really care.

"Nova! Spotted Nova!" Sideswipe yells. I see soldiers running towards us, and I see the explosions heading our way. I push Sam and Mikaela in front of me, making sure they got to Lennox before I did. We fall, and I look at them. I get up, on my hands and knees. I see Lennox and start screaming, waving my arm to get his attention. Lennox runs towards us and I pull towards some bushes, scrambling towards Lennox.

"Come on! Mikaela! Sam!" Lennox grabs them, pulling them behind the rock wall. "Come on! Get in here!"

"Look who showed up." I look at Lennox after getting behind the wall as well. "You better have a good reason for us to be here."

"Where's Optimus"? I ask him.

"He's right over there, across the courtyard." I follow his finger, seeing him.

"I got to get to him right now." I was gripping the knife case hard.

"Not with an air strike coming."

"I have to get to him right now." I growl. I hear something growling and Lennox looks at me.

"Go. Back, back, back, back." We scramble back, and I hear a Decepticon. It turns into a cannon and shoots. I see something coming and grin when I realize it's Jetfire.

"Incoming!" He yells, transforming. "Stick the landing." He starts going up to the cannon Decepticon and hits it with his cane.

"Behold the glory of Jetfire! Now let me show you how we brought the pain in my day." Jetfire says, utterly destroying the the Decepticon. I see something burrowing under the ground and my eyes go wide as Scorponok emerges, attacking Jetfire. We duck when Jetfire slams him against the wall, before slamming him to the ground and squashing him with his hand.

"I'm too old for this crap." I hear him say. I stand up, looking at Lennox.

"We're gonna make a break through the B's on my command, okay?" Lennox says, turning towards us.

"You guys stick with me, you understand? You stay on my ass." I had the urge to grab his ass for some reason, making me turn away to hide a grin.

"I hope these F-16s got good aim." Epps says.

"Yeah? Why is that?"

"I told them to hit the orange smoke." Orange smoke completely surrounds us.

"You mean that orange smoke?"

"It wasn't my best tos, okay?"

"Run!" Epps and Lennox scream, and we do, keeping ahead of the orange smoke.

"Incoming!" Epps yells.

"Come on!" I knew what was about to happen so I look at Sam and smile.

"I love you." The bombs hit, exploding. I run away from them, heading towards Optimus.

"Nova!" I hear Sam yell. I hear something charging up and close my eyes.

"Die." I was sent flying, hitting the ground. I could barely hear anything, ears ringing and vision slowly going dark. I could almost register Lennox telling Sam and Mikaela to stay back. I could almost register Lennox trying to give me CPR, and Sam leaning over me. I let my eyes close, slipping into darkness. Was it bad that a small part of me wanted to never wake up again?
