Chapter 27

Sam's Promise


Once the smoke cleared the two humanoids could see clearly that they were being attacked by a large tan tank. Or at least it looked like a tank. Both Sam and Elliett knew that it was a Decepticon in disguise. A very large and very mean Decepticon. One who probably likes to crush bones and brawl, like his name suggests.

"Sam, what are we going to do?" the silver haired girl asked, biting her lip in worry. Suddenly, Bumblebee's legs gave out beneath him and he sank to the ground, warbling in self-loathing. Elliett knew that he wanted to be a part of the fight, as did she, but Sam's safety was more important at the moment.

"Bee! Oh my God, are you ok?!" Sam exclaimed, rushing towards the fallen Autobot. The bright yellow scout and guardian waved him away, resorting to communicating through his radio once again.

"'S just a scratch, captain." He said, waving the boy away. He wasn't doing it to be mean; he was looking around the area for the Allspark. Once he found the small glowing cube he handed it to the brunette boy, sending out sounds of encouragement.

"No. No! I'm not leaving you." Sam exclaimed as he looked between Bumblebee and the Allspark.

"Sam. You've gotta do this. The entire world is in your hands." the silver haired girl said as Lennox came up behind them. He grasped Sam's shoulder and patted his back as he took out his binoculars, searching for a suitable building to hand off the Allspark.

"Ok, Sam. You see that tall building? Here's a flare. You take the Allspark…" Lennox was cut off by the brunette boy's adamant refusal. He was shaking his head and arms, eyes wide with panic as he thought about what the Marine was asking of him.

"No, no – I-I can't do that. I'm not leaving them." He stated, going to wrap his arm around his girlfriend's waist. He was surprised when Elliett stepped away from him, molten eyes glaring at her boyfriend.

"Sam! You're the only one who can do this. I can't run that far with my low energy. The only thing I'm able to do is element manipulation. You're the only hope this world has." The silver haired girl explained, looking at her boyfriend with defiant eyes. Lennox had finally had enough. He grabbed the front of Sam's sweatshirt, bringing him close to his angry face.

"Sam you're a soldier now. You have an obligation to help however you can! You're the only one who can do this! We all believe in you. Let's get to it." He said, shoving both the Allspark and the flare into the brunette boy's hands. He turned Sam in the direction that the building was and gave him a little shove; Elliett came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist, giving him a little kiss on the side of his neck.

"I believe you can do it, Sam. We all believe in you." She whispered in his ear before she slid her arms from around his waist.

"I promise that I will keep the Allspark safe. We will win." Sam said, determined to end this battle once and for all. The brunette boy knew that if he turned around then he would lose his resolve. He steeled himself, looking up in surprise when Ironhide came crashing down next to him.

"Come on, Sam! We'll protect you!" he exclaimed as he started running again, Ratchet right behind him. Jazz had gone to attack Brawl; he was in the direction that they needed to run. The brunette boy sucked in a deep breath and began running, tucking the Allspark and the flare underneath his arms.

Meanwhile Lennox approached the silver haired girl with a proposition. He had seen the way she fought and had to say that he was extremely impressed with her ability.

"Hey, girl – ah – Elliett. We might have problems taking the tank down. Mind helping us out?" the older male asked, placing a hand on the silver haired girl's shoulder. She was staring in the direction that Sam had taken off in; a tear was silently falling down her cheek as she took in a deep breath to steady her nerves.

"Hey, he'll be alright. He's determined and determined people always pull through." Lennox said, wrapping an arm around Elliett's shoulder. She looked up at him and shot him a sad smile before narrowing her eyes and grinning.

"Let's do this." She said, concentrating her power. She ducked from underneath Lennox's arm and lifted to the air, hurrying towards the tank named Brawl in order to help Jazz. On the way she flipped up Sam's hair; he was travelling in the same direction until he would turn to go to the building.

He shouted a 'be careful!' at her and she raised an arm in acknowledgement, hovering behind Jazz as she created a couple of air blades. The air spun around her arms at an incredible speed, creating razor sharp blades that sliced through Brawl's armor like a knife slicing butter. He screamed, transforming as he jumped forward to attack the girl. He was unaware that the military was backing her up.

"NOW!" Lennox shouted as they assaulted the tan tank with bullets and missile's alike. The silver haired girl managed to distract the tank enough that it started chasing her; she was taken by surprise when a futuristic silver jet scooped down and yanked Jazz from the ground. From the ferocity of his evil laughter Elliett could only guess that that it was a Decepticon. As it transformed the silver haired girl gasped; it wasn't just a Decepticon; it was the Decepticon leader, Megatron.

The silver haired girl grew angry; Megatron had snatched Jazz out from underneath her nose. She rose to the air, quickly following them as the Cybertronian jet seared across the sky, coming to a stop on one of the tallest skyscrapers. She could clearly hear their conversation; the wind brought the words to her. Her ears pinned to her skull as she realized the malicious intent of the Decepticon leader.

"You wanna piece of me?!" Jazz exclaimed, swinging both of his claws around; it was difficult since Megatron was hanging him from his leg. The silver saboteur was dangling with his head towards the ground. No doubt he would perish if he were to fall.

"No! I want you in pieces!" and with that he started to pull Jazz's arm and leg, intent on ripping him apart. Elliett's temper rose to the breaking point; nobody messed with her friends and lived to tell the tale!

"Hey! Megashit!" the silver haired girl exclaimed, effectively catching the Decpticon leader's attention. He ceased his pulling on the saboteur and turned his head, glaring at the female hovering in the air.

Elliett was downright angry; the wind was tossing her now short starry colored hair in every direction. Her amber eyes were glowing; they looked like they had been infused with some sort of chemical – like the one found in glow sticks. Her canines had reached the maximum length of her kind, poking out from her upper lip, and her fingernails had become claws. Her pupils had dilated to the point where they looked like slits – and they were directed at the large form in front of her: Megatron.

Megatron snarled at the interruption, but it was enough for the silver robot dangling in his hands to shoot the Decepticon leader in the face. He reared back, roaring in anger as he gripped the burning metal of his mangled face; in doing so he actually dropped Jazz. He was alright as he had dug his claws into the building below him and jumped to one adjacent to the one he had been dangling from.

All Elliett knew was that she wanted to fry the ass of the giant silver Decepticon roaring in front of her. She concentrated and the wind picked up; dark clouds were gathering as she forced the moisture into the air. The trees swayed and most of the soldiers paused from their firing as they realized that Elliett was up to something. The silver haired girl closed her eyes as she concentrated; what she was about to attempt was extremely dangerous and she had the feeling she hadn't done it even when she had full possession of all of her memories.

The air around her began crackling with energy as did the air in the clouds. Now both of the Cybertronian factions were looking at the sky as well; the Decepticons merely snarled, sure that their leader would crush the insignificant imbecile. What they didn't know was that Elliett had power over lightning.

At once she screamed and opened her eyes, quickly pointing her finger at the now surprised Decepticon leader. He looked up at the sky as a giant white circle crackled in the clouds. He transformed, but the lightning was quicker. It was tumbling from the sky, striking his left wing as he blasted off the building. Several large bolts of lightning poured down from the heavens, intent on blasting the Decepticon idiots into smithereens. Elliett was quickly losing power; controlling lightning was no easy task.

With one last burst of power several bolts of lightning struck the ground at the same time. Elliett was powerful; none of the lightning bolts struck the humans. All of them were aimed at their foe: the Decepticons. Brawl was struck head on, but it hit his left shoulder and therefore caused minimal damage. His spark chamber, however, was left open, but he ducked around the corner of a building as another, larger, Decepticon took his place.

The silver haired girl sunk to the ground as she lost her favor with the lightning. The sky cleared and Lennox caught her as she fell the last of the way, unable to control even the wind. She was panting, but had a grin of satisfaction on her face. She had injured Megatron and there was no knowing where he had landed.

"Shit, we're so dead." Lennox cursed underneath his breath as the larger Decepticon used his rotor as a rotating tessen. He sliced a car in half as he laughed evilly, smirking as he began to stalk towards the small group of humans that were trapped inside a restaurant. Epps and Lennox exchanged a small talk; they decided that they would use everything they had in order to take down the giant helicopter.

"There's gonna be a blackout tonight!" Bumblebee relayed through the radio signals; the silver haired girl determined that the helicopter's name must be Blackout. It was sort of fitting. Lennox handed her off to Epps with orders that he was to keep her safe; Epps agreed, albeit a bit hesitantly, and retreated as Lennox spotted an abandoned motorcycle. Apparently the light from one of the soldier's guns had caught Blackout's attention. He roared in anger; it seemed that only Megatron knew how to use the English language!

He started towards Lennox as the smaller being tried to start the motorcycle's engine; the brunette man finally got the engine started as he raced towards Blackout's legs. The larger being grunted as he pointed his gun, but he was too slow. Lennox was able to maneuver the bike so he was sliding along on his back when he aimed his modified gun, it was now able to use sable rounds, up along the Decepticon's crotch. He screamed out in victory as the internal components of the Decepticon started to explode.

The silver haired girl screamed in excitement as Blackout fell to his knees, finally defeated. A loud crash caused them all to turn towards the other street. Brawl appeared, facedown, on the street as Jazz skidded to a stop next to him. He lifted his arm in victory as the other cheered for him. It seemed as if everything was going to be alright, but Elliett couldn't help but worry about Sam.
