Chapter 13: Crashing Down

Harry at last made it back to Sam's college. It had taken him a while to get there because his Magic was acting up again. He had never felt it act this way before and it was worrying him a bit. He managed to keep his Magic under control but it was taking a lot of effort. Harry swore that as soon as he got back to base, he was going to talk to either his dad or papa about it.

"At least Sam should be finished with his lessons by this point" seeing that the place was filled to the brim with students, he decided that it was probably best not to get his wand out to cast a Point-Me spell. So, allowing his luck to guide him, he went up to first group of people and asked "Hey, sorry to bother you but I'm looking for a friend of mine. Sam Witwicky, have you heard of him?"

One of the females of the group, most likely someone who volunteered to help the new students judging from the clip board and older appearance, answered him "The crazy guy? Yeah I showed him to his room yesterday, he's probably there right now"

He raised an eyebrow at that statement "The crazy guy?"

"Yeah, I don't normally listen to gossip like that but it seems that's what everyone has labelled him. He started spouting out nonsense in Astronomy 101 about how Einstein was wrong. At least that was what I heard. It happened sometime this morning"

After getting the directions to his room, Harry thought about what the girl had told him. It sounded like Sam had some sort of mental breakdown, but he seemed fine earlier. What could have happened during the time he left the graveyard?

It did not take long for Harry to end up walking down the corridor where Sam's room was meant to be. He was nearly there when he noticed that Mikaela was walking his way, carrying a metal box that looked like it was moving on his own and not from where she was swinging it.

"Hey Mikaela, what are you doing here?" He inquired. He narrowed his eyes when he noticed that her own eyes looked a little bit watery, as if she was about to cry.

She startled at the sound of his voice, having not expected that he would be here, before she gathered her wits and focussed her attention on him "Oh, hey Harry. Sam asked me to come here because he found a piece of the Allspark on his clothes from Mission City and gave it to me. He rang me earlier saying that he needed it and when I got here, I found that he was having a much better time making out with some random girl"

Before he could even reply to that boatload of information, they both heard crashes coming from the room that he had been heading to. They glanced at each other and then moved to the door where another student was just heading to. He looked vaguely familiar and it wasn't until he was right next to him that Harry remember that this was the same guy from last night, the one Sam had only known for 17 hours.

Mikaela opened the door as the guy said "Sam, your bed buddy, Alice- whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" only for them all to see the girl, Alice, have a very long and metallic tongue wrapped around his neck.

The tongue retreated back into her mouth and Sam let out a girlish shriek from his position on the floor. Mikaela wasted no time in chucking the metal box at the robotic girl but missed as she ducked and it flew out of the window behind her.

While Mikaela and the unknown male helped Sam scramble up, Harry pulled out his wand and cast multiple spells at her. Using scaled down ones as he did not want to blast the wall down and fall on any of the students on the ground. However, like with the box, she was quick to dodge them as well, making her way closer to the entrance after evading each one and growling.

Harry quickly scanned his surroundings to see that students were poking their heads out of their dorms to see what was going on while Sam, Mikaela and the dark haired guy were already halfway away, calling back at him to hurry up.

Cursing in his mind, he threw one last spell at the Con before taking off after the other three. He had to protect them, it was obvious that she was after Sam and anyone perceived as being close to him would be in danger. He had to make them his top priority. Who knows if there were any more Decepticons waiting around to attack them?

The college students screamed loudly as he ran past them, catching up to the other three easily. With his younger years filled with running away from his cousin's game of Harry Hunting and Ironhide's training, his speed and endurance had only increased. He was not as strong as the twins were, but he was defiantly faster than most.

He kept behind the three, trusting Sam to lead them to a secure place where he could hopefully Apparate them to the Autobots. While also checking his surroundings for any more Decepticons that could jump out at them any moment.

"All right, come on" Sam shouted at them as they ran away.

"She's coming!" Warned Mikaela. The guy whose name he didn't know must have either not heard or decided to ignore her because he slowed coming up to the steps of the library, turning directly to face where they had just ran from. Harry grabbed one arm as he passed to pull him along while Sam turned back to do the same and saying "She's an alien robot! You gotta move"

"This real?" The boy asked as he was let go by both Sam and Harry now that he was moving the right way.

"Just run!" Sam commanded, falling over as he did but quickly picking himself back up.

They ran for a little longer and ended up in the main room of the college's library, each hiding between a stack of books to catch their breath. Sam, Mikaela and the curly haired boy were on one side while Harry was opposite them, able to see them all in his position as they panted for air.

"Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I can't believe I almost had sex with her in my dream!" The guy said.

"That's a little weird" thought Harry. He seemed to be the only one to have heard this because Mikaela turned her attention to Sam with a look that screamed that he was in deep shit.

"I can tell that you really missed me a lot, Sam!"

Sam looked between a gap in the books to talk to the angered female "Look, it's not my fault, okay?"

Harry winced a bit at that statement, knowing that was definitely the wrong thing to say to Mikaela who was looking at Sam in disbelief "Oh, it's not your fault?"

"Listen! Listen, I'm a victim!" Sam vehemently said, trying to find a way to get out of this mess in one piece.

"You were a victim? Of what?" Mikaela demanded.

"Yeah" Sam said. The two were almost speaking over one another as Mikaela continued to question Sam "Of what, a little eighty pound girl?"

"Of, of, of molestation. It was like getting jumped in the neck by a mountain ox!" Hissed Sam, giving Harry a lovely mental image that he could have done without.

"You didn't have to put your tongue in her mouth!"

"I didn't! Look!"

"You did!" Mikaela snapped.

"Look. You ever had your stomach tongued by a mountain ox with a five-foot tongue? It's not fun for me, okay, Mikaela? And it smelled like... like diesel! Like a diesel-y tinge to it!"

"This is one of the weirdest conversation I have ever heard" Harry thought to himself.

"You're such a little girl!" Mikaela insulted childishly.

Sam made it more childish when he replied with "We're gonna have ten seconds of silence right now. I'm not talking to you for ten seconds"

Both Harry and Mikaela gave Sam an incredulous look at that, Mikaela responding with "You can't give me the silent treatment! You know what?"

"I'm not talking to you for ten seconds. You have three seconds left" Sam interrupted, holding up three fingers to Mikaela to show how much more time he was staying silent for.

"You know what? You can give me the silent treatment all you want, but you can't keep me from talking"

"What were you gonna say?"

"I hope you had a lot of fun, because this, this is over" the tone that Mikaela used suggested that the conversation had ended.

Either way, Harry had heard enough of their arguing and seeing that this was a good a chance as any, Harry finally spoke before they could continue "That's enough! You can sort out your relationship problems when we are not being chased by a homicidal Decepticon" the two looked down in embarrassment from their actions but at least they finally stopped arguing "Now that's over, here is what we are going to do. I'm going to do a side along Apparition but I can only do that safely with a maximum of two people. So I either take one of you now and then come straight back for the other two or the other way round"

"Apparition?" Sam queried, not recognising the word immediately.

"Remember when the twins popped from one place to another"

A look of understanding passed over his face "Oh, right. I think you should take them first. Alice, or whatever it's called, is after me not them"

"Are you sure?" He had guessed that Sam would have said that but he still had to ask.

"Yeah I'm sure"

Harry nodded his head and pulled the boy and Mikaela to their feet. Just as he was about to turn on his heel, a speaker crackled to life, emitting three short bursts of a very annoying and ear-piercing sound. They all grabbed their heads in pain but Harry was literally brought to his knees, feeling as if something was stabbing his brain repeatedly. Even after the noise was gone, he could not get a clear image of where he was supposed to meet the Autobots.

Mikaela crouched down next to him "Are you okay Harry?"

"No. I can't get a clear image of where I want to go"

Sam gulped a bit, not liking how that sounded "That's bad right?"

He grimaced slightly as another spike of pain passed over his head, but he tried to not let the others see that anything was wrong him "Very bad. I can't Apparate if I don't have the destination in mind. I could end up hurting or even killing us, especially if our heads were splinched off"

Mikaela popped her head up to look at the doors, trying to see if the Con had found them yet and then darting back down where she had previously been sitting "We'll just have to get out of here the old fashioned way"

Despite the seriousness of the situation, Harry gave Mikaela a smile and joked "In Sam's case, running and screaming like a little girl"

That got a small laugh out of the dark haired girl and an offended "Hey!" from Sam.

The curly haired boy decided that this was the perfect time to chime in with "I just realised something. Alice, she violated your orifice with her nasty alien probe? She did it? She went in there? All her little embryo alien babies are gestating and hatching inside of you. They're growing right now, probably! You need to vomit it right now. Yak it! Yak it right now!" Sam had been getting steadily paler the more the guy talked until he finally emptied the contents of his stomach. Harry wrinkled his nose in disgust at the smell, but he couldn't help but wonder where in Godric's name did he come up with that? It was very well detailed to just be thought of on the spot.

"Who are you?" Mikaela asked him.

The guy answered with "Leonardo Ponce De Leon Spitz. Okay? I'm the key to this. The aliens, they want me cause of my site"

It was at that moment that the doors exploded open, showering the room with chunks of wood, wall and books. Ignoring the pain, Harry grabbed a hold of Mikaela and shouted at the other two "Time to move!"

Sam had already jumped over the wooden railing and on to the light next to it while Leo was scaling down the side where a metal staircase was underneath. Quickly casting "ARESTO MOMENTUM!" as he dragged her over the side, he and Mikaela made it to the ground the same time as Leo. Just as another explosion caused one of the cables holding the light up to snap, dropping Sam to the floor. He was lucky that he didn't have far to fall and that the lights did not drop with him. But the Con had not given up and amongst the screaming students, it jumped over the railing after them, growling all the while.

He lost track of Sam but could hear him yell over the noise "Mikaela!" seconds before the Con caused rows of books to explode. Harry pushed them all under a table to avoid most of the debris. When there was a pause in the shooting, Sam slid under the table with them and they crawled under the line of tables with each exploding after they had left their minimal protection. Throwing caution to the wind and hoping no one was on the other side, Harry pointed his wand to the wall they were about to reach and shouted "BOMBARDA!" making it explode outwards and providing them with an escape route.

Sam helped Mikaela up, telling her "Come on! We gotta move!" and once they were outside, she tore off her heels in order to run faster with Sam dragging her behind him.

They were almost to the car park, people shouting around them that the explosion was a bomb but Mikaela told Sam "You've got to get that box!" pointing to a box in the grass. The same one that she had thrown out the window earlier. Sam did as she asked and they all headed to a car that Mikaela was opening.

Harry and Leo dove into the back while Sam got into the passenger seat, passing the metal container between them which Harry was sure he could hear "Hey! Let me out, let me out!" coming from it. Mikaela, meanwhile, was in the driver's seat attempting to hotwire it.

"Oh my god, you know how to hotwire a car? So hot" Leo exclaimed in amazement and obvious attraction.

Harry cuffed the guy on the back of his head, stating "Not important right now"

Sam was becoming more anxious and from the looks of things, it was because the Con was back in its human disguise and coming closer to them at a leisurely pace "Drive, drive, drive! She's right there! She's right there!" he declared.

"Come on, come on, come on" Mikaela murmured to herself, small sparks of electricity coming from between her hands.

Harry watched the Decepticon begin to change into her metallic form, noticing that it was nothing like the Autobots' holoforms. But then again, Ratchet had gotten the design of the holoforms from an inventor friend of his called Wheeljack, who had started the project to let Autobots blend in with organic lifeforms. Seemed the Decepticons had made their own version of it but not as good if they could only use the smaller Decepticons to do so.

Sam was rambling for Mikaela to back up and drive but it was no good as the Con jumped on to the hood of the car, smashing Sam's side window completely. The front window also took some damage but only a little bit. The Con continued to growl and snarl the whole time.

The nasty aft tongue shot through the window to attack Sam, who was trying to keep it as far away from him as possible and failing "No! Whoa! Tongue, tongue, tongue!"

When the tongue curved to wrap itself around Sam, Harry pointed his wand at the interlocking metal and cast "DIFFINDO!" severing the tongue which caused it to flop into Sam's lap and the Decepticon to shriek in pain. Retracting the rest of the appendage out of the window. The Con was trying its hardest to not be chucked off by Mikaela's driving but it was clear that it was an effort to do so, even as it moved to the roof of the car to get better access at Sam. Mikaela's sudden swerving made it slid back to the hood of the car, clutching on as hard as it could but Mikaela finally had enough of it.

"Kiss this, bitch!" Mikaela gritted out, driving into a pole and crushing the Con between the two. There was complete silence from the back of car as she reversed and drove away from the Con with Sam repeatedly saying "Drive"

"Remind me to never get on your bad side" Harry declared. The dark haired women could be deadly when she wanted to be. He remembered her telling him how she had gotten an electric saw to decapitate another Minicon.

Leo gawked at the other three occupants of the car, demanding almost hysterically "Okay, so what else don't I know, all right? Since you guys forgot to mention some minor details and you" he pointed towards Harry "How the hell did you do that!? You know with all the blowing up things with some words and apparently being able to teleport. What's up with that!?

"Okay quick version, my name's Harry and I'm a Wizard. You've already met Sam and Mikaela. Right now, we are running away from the bad robotic aliens to the good robotic aliens"

Silence was all that came from Leo, his mouth gaping like a fish as he tried wrap his mind around what Harry had told him. If he had wanted to comment about anything, it was blown out of the window when a helicopter flew in front of them, forcing Mikaela to brake in an attempt to avoid it. They stopped after doing a 180 degree turn, just in time for a giant claw to tear through the roof of the car. It started to lift them up at the same time as another car hit the back of theirs and made it spin out of control. This also caused Sam's door to fly open and for the teen to fall out, his grip on the door being the only thing that saved him from his painful plunge.

"Saaaam!" Mikaela screamed. Sam also screaming as he tried to pull himself back up.

Mikaela was still calling Sam's name as they got pulled higher into the sky. Harry used his smaller body to climb over to the passenger seat, both Mikaela and Leo holding on to the back of his jacket so that he himself did not fall out as he pulled Sam back into the airborne car. When Sam was securely back in, holding on to both the seat and door in a death grip (And Harry was back in his own), he noticed that they were now above water and heading to what looked to be an abandoned warehouse.

"Whoah! I don't want to die! We're gonna die! Oh my god!" Leo kept screaming. When they were directly above the warehouse, the claw detached itself from the car causing it to fall. The other three teens screamed hysterically, thinking that they were going to die, while Harry cast Cushioning charms around all of them.

They ended up landing upside down but no one seemed hurt. There was even more screaming when a saw cut directly down the middle of the car, splitting it in two. Pulling themselves out of the car, they came face to face with the crouched form of Starscream; the Con spitting something from his mouth as Leo said "Oh Jesus! Oh Jesus!"

Harry still had his wand in his hand, ready to cast a spell but the Dorito shaped Decepticon must have known what he was planning because before he could even think about casting, the Con held out one of his servos and demanded "Hand over the wand boy or I may just use these other meat bags as target practice" his other servo had a missile on it and was pointing directly at Mikaela and Leo.

While Harry was reluctant to hand over his wand, he knew he was overpowered and outnumbered. It would be best to follow along for now and if push came to shove, he still had access to his wandless abilities. With that thought in mind, Harry dropped the wand into the Decepticon's outstretched servo.

While this was happening, their backs were turned away from the arrival of a recently resurrected Decepticon leader until he said "Come here, boys. Mmm... closer"

Sam listened to him, separating himself from the other three and causing Harry to groan in his mind "Damn it Sam! How in Pits name am I supposed to protect all of you if you move closer to the bloody deranged Con?" Harry gave one last look at the other two teens before following Sam, who was whispering "Okay, okay" the closer he got to Megatron.

"You remember me, don't you?" the Con asked.

Harry cocked his head to the side, pretending to act confused while following Sam closely as he descended some metal stairs. Getting even closer to Megatron and keeping his hands up in front of him as a sign of surrender "I'm sorry, do I know you? I feel like I do from but I just can't put my finger on where"

Megatron was definitely not happy with that response as he shouted "Shut up!" at them and used his claw like hands to fling the two of them on concrete slabs, only a few meters apart. Harry hissed in pain from being harshly grabbed and then thrown onto the hard surface. He could hear Sam cry out in pain just before landing on his own piece of concrete with a grunt.

"I've definitely been spending too much time with Fred and George"

Megatron then proceeded to grip both of Sam's arms at the side of his head and guessing, from the protesting noises he was making, that the Con was twisting them enough to be painful but not enough to brake them. Harry's own arms were locked at his sides as Megatron had placed his other servo over them and his chest, giving a painful squeeze but Harry did not give him the satisfaction of voicing his pain.

"There goes using wandless magic" Harry thought, struggling to move his arms but failing in the Con's grip.

"It feels good to grab your flesh! I am going to kill both of you! Slowly, painfully. But first, we have some delicate work to do"

Sam gave out some more painful sounding grunts while Megatron talked above them "How I could snap your limbs off! Doctor, examine these alien specimens"

Harry could not see who this Doctor was but he did hear the sounds of shifting metal. Quieter than a larger Cybertronian so he guessed that this Con was a Minicon. His theory was confirmed when a crab like Con scuttled its way up Sam, giant (for its size) yellow-orange optics outlined in red were magnified by glasses that made Harry think of Trelawney "I'm the Doctor. The odd job" it suddenly changed languages to what Harry recognized as Cybertronian before switching back as it inspected Sam's mouth "Informa-tion!"

Sam couldn't say anything while it was doing this but he groaned in pain when the Minicon swiped a small knife like servo across his face. The Con giving a shout of "Yeah!" when it was inspecting Sam's nose. He must have given some sort of signal as four bird looking things flew over to them, each carry a metallic worm between them.

"Beseeching my shard! Easy or tough way?" the Doctor asked as one of the worms was placed on his chest and its head split into multiple tendrils. The Doctor pried Sam's mouth open to allow the metal worm to slither in, making Sam choke a bit as it did.

Harry nearly gagged at the sight of the thing going in Sam's mouth but continued to watch anyway, wondering what exactly it was meant to be doing to Sam. He was disgusted to see the metal tendrils poking out of his mouth, but the more disturbing thing was that they were also coming out of his nose. After a while, the worm Decepticon finally made a reappearance, jumping over to connect with the Doctor.

The Doctor was constantly switching between English and Cybertronian as he projected images of what Harry guessed to be Sam's memories. He was confused when he saw the same symbols that had been plaguing his own mind for the past couple of days, overlapping Sam's memories.

"Oh, there they are" Megatron commented, watching the floating images with great interest.

"That's what I'm seeing in my head" Sam muttered.

Megatron grinned triumphantly, practically shouting "These symbols can lead us to the Energon source"

"We must have the brain! On the table! Chop chop!" The Doctor said in obvious excitement.

Sam did not look as happy at what the Minicon was demanding "Brain? What does he mean by- by my brain?"

"Well, you have something on your mind, something I need"

While Sam started talking a mile a minute, trying to find a way out of this situation, Megatron grinned evilly at the other human in his grasp "Now, why don't we see what you are hiding under your flesh"

The so called Doctor jumped and landed next to Harry with another one of those things but there was no way on Earth that Harry was allowing that thing to get anything out of his mind. He fortified his Occlumency shields, hoping they would be enough to keep that thing from seeing anything. His mouth was pried open, just like Sam's, and the metal worm slithered down his throat; disgusting slime coming from its body making it easier for the creature to move. However, it wasn't long before the thing came jumping back out screaming, looking and sounding like it had been burnt.

"What seems to be the problem Doctor?" Megatron demanded of the Minicon, who had picked up the worm Cybertronian.

The Doctor connected himself to the damaged worm, muttering angrily in Cybertronian and then in English "This specimen uses more brain cells than the other. Has found a way to barricade his mind from intrusion" the Minicon angrily stated. He turned his gaze to Harry's head, looking like he would love nothing more than to examine his brain outside of his skull along with Sam's.

"Hmm… seems that you are a lot more resistant than those other so called Wizards" Harry stopped struggling to stare at Megatron in confusion. Seeing the look he was getting, Megatron elaborated "You see, we had had to find a way to prevent you and the other Magic users from teleporting and my mech were lucky enough to find two... volunteers. They, unfortunately, did not survive the testing, but were useful enough to give us the information we needed before their demises" Megatron didn't seem fazed that he lost an opportunity to find out how Wizards and Witches were able to use Magic but soon figured out why when Megatron continued "But don't worry. You'll make a perfect subject to continue on the research"

The Doctor's optics flashed a sickly green, giving Harry a nauseating feeling that started from his feet and travelled up to his head. Harry recognised it as being similar to one of the medical scans that Ratchet used, except this one was a lot more powerful. Ratchet scans' intensity had to be decreased for the humans because he did not want to hurt any of them. The harmful rays of radiation that was needed for a Cybertronian's own medical exam were a lot stronger and dangerous for organic health. If he had to guess, he would say that the Decepticon had no qualms about using a more harmful way of getting information.

The feeling returned to his chest and remained there while the Doctor muttered in Cybertronian. He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, staring at Harry in what could only be described as shock. The silence however, was irritating the Decepticon leader who had thought that the fleshie had somehow blocked another attempt at gleaning information from him. Before he could demand what was going on, the Doctor spluttered out "Allspark! Allspark!"

That statement instantly stilled everyone there, not including Leo who looked very confused. Shocked faces and faceplates all looked towards the Wizard whose own face was scrunched up in confusion. Megatron lowered himself as much as he could to the Minicon's level, still keeping a tight grip of the humans in his servos and growled out "Explain Doctor"

Another projection suddenly popped up but unlike Sam's, which had shown some of his memories along with those rune like markings, this one showed a very familiar cube to Harry. His Magical core. It was still moving around and he could see its golden light glowing just underneath the surface but what he hadn't realised was that there were sigils etched onto the surface, the same as the one from Sam's brain and his own. They were only a shade lighter than the glowing cube of his core but the Doctor was able to zoom in, as well as enhance the image so that it was clear that they were there.

"Well this is interesting. It seems the Allspark has been transferred into the boy's source of power without him realising" a small frown suddenly passed over the Con's faceplates "Pity, and I was so looking forward to tearing the flesh off your very bones. Although..." The sinister grin was back and Harry couldn't help but let a shiver to run down his spine as the mad, ruby gaze locked with his emerald ones "Why do that when it would brake you to know that the very knowledge and power you are containing, will lead to the downfall of your comrades now that the Allspark is, quite literally, in my grasp" Megatron chuckled darkly at that, tightening his grip on the dark haired Wizard. Solidifying the fact that escape was futile.

The Decepticon leader turned his attention back to the Doctor, who had gotten rid of the image of the Cube "You may proceed to cut the other boy's head open Doctor. We still need the location of the Energon"

Sam was panicking once again and struggling to get out of Megatron's grip as the smaller Decepticon made its way to Sam's head, one of its crab like appendages turning into a small buzz saw "I... think that we have an opportunity here to start anew and... and develop our relationship and see where it leads us, okay? So, you just call Doctor Inspector off and let's just talk for five seconds! Wait, wait, wai-" just before the saw touched Sam's head, a crash from overhead stopped them all and when they looked up, it was to the sight of Optimus dropping through the roof. There was another crash off to the side but Harry couldn't see who it was from his position. All he could see, or more accurately hear, is some explosions coming from the unknown Bot and Starscream.

The appearance of the Autobots caused Megatron to let go of both of them and they wasted no time in getting away from the Decepticon, sparks falling all around them as they did.

"ACCIO WAND!" Harry shouted, using a bit of wandless Magic to call his wand back to him from where Starscream had dropped it in surprise. Harry grabbed a hold of Sam's arm and dragged him away from the fighting titans overhead. He could hear Leo telling Mikaela to "Come on!" and "Go, go!" while Mikaela herself was calling for Sam, the shouts getting quieter as they went the opposite direction to the other two teens. He now had a clearer look at who the other Bot was and could see the yellow and black frame of Bumblebee, fighting Starscream and keeping his attention away from the other two humans.

Optimus flipped over Megatron, shooting at the silver mech who jumped up to meet the Autobot leader, doing his own flip to do so. They continued to fire as they landed opposite each other. They both easily dodged each other's attacks but Starscream was creeping up behind Optimus, Bumblebee having followed Mikaela and Leo to keep them safe. It didn't matter because Optimus swung round to knock Starscream away from him, before using both of his blasters to simultaneously shoot at the Leader and Second in Command of the Decepticons.

Harry and Sam made it outside just in time to see Megatron being blasted out of the building from one of Optimus' shots, before transforming into a tank and driving away. Optimus then dropped out of the hole created by the other Cybertronian and they ran over to where he changed into his alt-mode, opening the driver side's door and shouting "Get in!" which they quickly complied with. Both got into the Semi but Sam slid over to the passenger side to make room for Harry. The seatbelts snaked around both humans as Optimus drove away, his engine roaring as he pushed into overdrive.

They made it onto a long stretch of road surrounded by forestry before Megatron reappeared, hurtling out from between some trees as he shot at them. Optimus quickly changed when Megatron did, making sure that both teens ended up in one of his servos before the other mech crashed into him, sending them all tumbling.

They ended up falling down a hill and when Optimus' servo that was holding the two of them came closer to the ground, he opened it to allow the two teens to roll out and away from the fighting mechs. Harry quickly got back up and pulled the taller teen with him, moving away from the still rolling Cybertronians.

"Harry, protect Sam!" Optimus shouted just before he got out of his own roll to punch the Decepticon leader in his faceplate. Mud was flying everywhere as Megatron tackled Optimus to the earth. Harry kept an eye on the battle from the corner of his eye as he and Sam ran, ready to jump in to help if needed but maintaining a safe distance so that Sam would not get hurt. In the end, they watched the battle behind some trees, Harry constantly glancing around for anymore Decepticons and his wand ready to cast a spell.

"Weak!" an uprooted tree crashed into Megatron but did little more than daze the Con and for the tree to come hurtling towards them, but they were protected by the trees in front of them.

"Puny!" Optimus deflected a punch with a clang as metal struck metal and instead, inflicted his own punch to near the Con's backstrut. Tearing off some metal and inner cables as he pulled back.

"Waste of metal!" the Autobot knocked the Decepticon to the ground and deployed his blade, the metal glowing orange on one side from the heat.

"Junkyard" he then stabbed Megatron in his chassis, but missed the grey mech's spark.

"Crap!" Optimus finished, knocking his arm into Megatron's face and then grabbing him by his shoulder plate to throw the Con away from him and further away from the two humans.

Megatron seemed to have enough of being Optimus' punching bag because he shouted "Decepticons!" and immediately, the helicopter Con from earlier came flying in. Knocking down a bunch of trees as he transformed into his bipedal form and headed towards Megatron to aid him in defeating Optimus. Harry was surprised when he saw the familiar black and white frame of Barricade who was also heading towards Optimus and Megatron's fight.

"Scrap! I though he died in Mission City!" Harry was so distracted by the thought-to-be-offlined-Con, that he almost missed the arrival of the Dorito shaped one.

"Come here, boys" Starscream demanded, moving towards the two of them who had already began to run away. Harry could hear him getting closer and could feel the servo almost close enough to snatch them up, but Harry was quick in turning around and shouting "DIFFINDO!"which caused a large slash across Starscream's outstretched servo. The only reason why it had not been completely separated from the rest of his frame was because he had grabbed a hold of the injured part as soon as he had registered the pain, crying out as Energon leaked from the wound. It put some distance between the two boys and the Seeker but the two other Decepticons decided to try and capture them while Optimus was distracted. He was just about to cast another spell when Optimus came out of the trees, roaring as he knocked both Cons into the ground and showering the area with mud, trees and rocks.

Harry almost stopped to watch as Optimus single handily held back four Decepticons but quickly turned away when Sam ran back to keep him moving. He couldn't tell what was going on behind him but he did hear a lot of gunfire and some painful sounding grunts, more of which were coming from the Cons than they were Optimus.

"There is another source of Energon hidden on this planet. The boy could lead us to it and the Magic user could save our entire race. He holds the Allspark's power within him" more crashes came from behind them but they did not turn back. Harry had a mission to protect Sam and that was what he was going to do.

It didn't even take a second for Optimus to have a reply to that statement "I won't let you have either of them. Their freedom is their own and I won't allow you to take it from them!"

Sam stopped running for a second to catch his breath, allowing Harry to give into the urge to check on Optimus only to see that he wasn't doing as well as he was earlier. All four were taking turns in attacking and Optimus was only able to block a few of the attacks.

"Optimus!" Sam shouted when Optimus got kicked in the faceplate by Megatron's ped.

"Sam we need to keep moving" Harry advised, even if he himself wanted to stay behind and help. He did shout "BOMBARDA MAXIMA!" When he saw the helicopter Con come close to cutting Optimus.

"I hope the others get here soon. Who knows how long Optimus can hold them off for" just as he thought that, Optimus' came soaring through the air. His chassis was smoking and blackened but thankfully, not broken. His back was to them but Harry could hear him spit something and judging from the metal he could see come from it, it was a part of his denta.

"Is the future of our race not worth those two lives?" Megatron questioned, striding closer to Optimus and thus them while transforming his servo into a sword.

Sam looked directly at Optimus to shout "Up! Get up!" in a panicked voice. Not that he could blame Sam for worrying since Megatron was getting closer.

Optimus was now in a kneeled position, his own sword helping him up a bit "You'll never stop at those two! I'll take you ALL ON!" He roared, now having two swords as he spun around to face them all.

They fought above them, Harry putting up a shield every time the more harmful debris came raining down on the two of them. It looked like it took little to no effort as Optimus slashed at the four Cons. Hacking off parts of them, like Barricade's door wings, before kicking him down and twirling round to separate the helicopter Con from his rotor blades. Effectively grounding him. None of them could even keep up with the Autobot leader as he threw the green mech away him. Both Barricade and Megatron ended on the ground while he proceeded to cut off Starscream's arm, the one Harry had almost severed earlier.

"My arm!" Starscream cried, clutching where the appendage used to be.

With Starscream out of the way, Optimus was in a two on one battle with Barricade and Megatron. It was then that Harry notice the reappearance of the other Con, who was attempting to sneak up on Prime.

"WATCH OUT!" Harry screamed. Optimus, who had incapacitated his other opponents for the time being, now noticed the Con who was trying to sneak up on him and let out a fierce battle roar. He jumped onto the mech, swinging round until he was on his back and then proceeded to dig his, now hooked, weapons into the Con's faceplates.

The green flyer screamed as Optimus began to pull his faceplates apart with his two hooked weapons "No! Not me-" he abruptly stopped when Optimus completed his task and offlined the mech. Despite his death, the Cybertronian was still standing but had soon fallen when Optimus jumped down (With one of his weapons still in the Cons ruined faceplates) and pulled the Con with him.

If Fred and George were here he knew exactly what they would say. They would proclaim Optimus as a "Bad Ass Motherfucker" and Harry would agree wholeheartedly with them.

"Piece of tin" Optimus commented, striding away from the helicopter Con before he clutched his chassis in pain. Despite his wounds, he still called out for them "Harry! Sam! Where are you?"

Metal was missing from a lot of his frame and energon was leaking from broken fuel lines, but nothing Harry couldn't keep stable until they got the mech to Ratchet or Jolt. Harry was just about to call out to him when he halted at the sight of a sword jutting from where Optimus' spark was. It had been so quick that he hadn't realised that Megatron had snuck up behind the Autobot leader to ram the sword from behind.

Optimus let out a painful scream of "No!"

"You're so weak!" Megatron stated, pushing the sword further into Optimus' spark chamber and causing Optimus to let out another pained scream.

The red and blue leader fell off the sword, Megatron stepping away to laugh victoriously at the sky, and dropped to the ground with his head turned towards them. Optimus was obviously fading away but before he did, he gasped out "Harry, Sam, run. Ru..." the sentence could not be finished however, the last bit of life inside of Optimus having been used up. Harry felt numb at seeing the blue fade from Optimus' optics. He didn't notice that the rest of the Autobots had arrived and were coming closer. He did not feel Sam attempting to pull him along to Bumblebee or hear that the twins were shouting his name. All he could think was that Optimus was dead, just like his parents and Cedric. He couldn't help but think that once again, it was his fault.

"No, this can't be happening. He can't be dead! He can't!" Harry's grief was piling up the longer he stared at Optimus' frame. That was until something finally drew his attention away from it and that something was Megatron's laughter. Harry's sorrow was overtaken by his anger, drowning out everything but the Decepticon leader's evil laugh. He gripped his wand tightly, allowing his emotions to fuel on his Magic and pointed his wand at Megatron. He said the one spell that he thought he would never say, the one that had caused him so much pain and the one curse that he wished was never created.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The green spell shot out from his wand, but unfortunately, it was not fast enough. The Decepticon leader must have realised that this was not a spell to be messed with and moved out of the way. Had he been only a few seconds slower, then the curse would have hit its mark. However, the same fate could not be said for Barricade, who was standing not far behind Megatron. Before he could even process about moving out of its way, the spell struck him on his chassis and actually pushed him back a bit, travelling all over his body. At first, it seemed that nothing had happened. The police Con just standing there motionless until he fell back, Harry presuming he was dead from his motionless state. They hadn't used, let alone tested, that spell on any of the Cybertronians; be they Decepticon or Autobot. So none of really knew if the spell would work on a non-organic being, but now they had confirmation that the curse did work on Cybertronians.

Megatron looked down at his Scout, finding that Barricade's life signal was completely gone. He looked over to the Allspark container, whose energy was acting erratically around him. Megatron was very surprised that not only was the squishy containing one of the most sacred and powerful objects of his race, unknowingly at that, but it seemed that he had one of these so called 'spells' could extinguish a spark in a few nano-kliks. Megatron would love nothing more than to recapture the organic and either find a way to use his powers or extract them. He growled in his processor when he realised that a majority of the Earth bound Autobots were almost surrounding them and it would be near impossible to grab the boy.

He changed into his alt-mode that was capable of flight and flew away, leaving his mech to fight the Autobots. No doubt the coward Starscream had already left. With one last look at the angered Wizard, Megatron shot off in order to come up with a way to continue with the original plan and to finally have the Allspark in his grasp permanently.

With Megatron gone before he could let off another curse, Harry's anger faded. Leaving him with just his sorrow left. Still looking at Optimus body, he allowed himself to collapse onto his knees and for his wand to drop out of his hand. His Magic had calmed somewhat but it was now wrapping around him, as if to comfort him. But it didn't work, he remained completely frozen in a daze while more Autobots finally showed up, keeping the Decepticons away from him and Optimus' body.

"STUPEFY!" someone said, the spell hitting directly on his back. The last thing he heard, before his world faded into black, was the sound of blasters and someone shouting "Bumblebee, get them out of here!"

Again, sorry for delay but I hoped you enjoyed these two chapters.
