Kimber shrieked as Barricade transformed, reaching for her. He was stopped when someone shot him again and again. It wasn't the sound of cannons, but like a blaster. She turned around to see Bee riding on a tow truck. With the threat gon Kim ran to the truck, getting in "Holy shit Kayla!"

The two hugged before taking off again "There's three cons down. It's only Starscream and Megatron left"

"Alright so what do we do?"

"We're getting out of the way. Sam has the cube and Optimus has Megatron handled…"

"You didn't sound so sure about it"

"Yeah…"

The two girls pulled into a parking garage and got out, almost holding their breath as they looked up at the old church. The helicopter was there and they could see Sam

Then disaster struck. Starscream attacked the blackhawks, sending them tumbling to the ground. Kimber covered her mouth to muffle a scream while Kayla screamed out for Sam. Just then Megatron crashed onto the rooftop, looking for sam who now clinged to one of many statues on the edge of the roof. Kimber hugged Kayla as they watched in horror. Just then as then Ironhide and Ratchet pulled up, transforming. Ironhide reached in and pulled Bumblebee out while Ratchet scanned him

"Aren't you going to help Sam? Where's Jazz"

Ironhide looked back over to the building before turning his attention back to his charge "Optimus has it under control…"

"And Jazz?"

The two were quiet

"Where's Jazz?"

"Kimber please be quiet, I don't know if Starscream-"

"WHERE IS JAZZ!"

"KIMBER SILENCE!" Ironhide snapped

Kimber fell back, shaking as her heart pounded. She knew it, he didn't have to tell her. Water filled her eyes as she curled into a ball. Ironhide didn't look at her as he helped Ratchet with Bee's legs.

The scout turned towards her and soothingly stroked her back, humming. Kimber shook as he petted her. She could hear Sam scream as he fell. She felt like her world was ending. How could the bots be so calm when they were so close to losing the cube to Megatron. How could they have such faith in their leader? Maybe it was the same way she looked up to her father. She always knew he could control anything that came his way….

She looked up as there was another scream, not belonging to Optimus or Sam. She got up as Ironhide and Ratchet, both carrying Bee, walked down the street, towards the old building. On the way Ratchet handed Bee off to Ironhide, for the mech it brought old memories from cybertron, but that was a story for another time. Kimber looked over and saw Ratchet pick up two shiny objects. Her heart ached as she saw jazz, split in half.

Kayla wrapped her arm around her, making Kimber look ahead at another silver body, Megatron. She scowled at the face of the decepticon leader as Optimus stood, sam beside him. She watched Kayla run over and hug him. She huffed and wiped away a tear before looking around. Where were the guys?

Seemingly out of nowhere they appeared, one man short. She walked over to Phillips "Where's Jenson?"

Her heart throbbed as he looked up at her. His brown eyes were red "When Starscream came back, we were right under them. Jenson got us out of the way" She felt the pain in his voice. Today was a hard day for the whole group. They lost friends, but together they defeated the decepticons and with that the earth and all life on it lived another day. As the sun set more helicopters came to the city. Coordinates were given to the autobots so they would follow to a military base on the border of Nevada and California while the humans borded helicopters. Slowly a phone was passed around. Sam got to talk to his parent and Kayla told her father she was fine. When it came to Kimber she quickly called home hoping her father would be home, it was Monday night.

"Pick up...pick up...pick- DAD!"

"Kimber where are you! I thought you were dead! They found your cycle on the side of the road"

"I know, i know. Daddy I'll explain when I get home, okay"

"Alright, and when you get home you're getting a cellphone"

"Okay" Tears fell down her cheeks "I'll see you at home"

"Okay Kimmy. Be safe"

"'Kay, Love you"

"Love you too"

She hung up the phone, wiping away tears. Will took the phone back and put it in his pocket. 'You kids were brave" He looked at all of them

"When I was your age I probably wouldn't have the balls to slide under a killer decepticon to shoot his ass, help a giant robot who had lost his legs, or destroy megatron himself with a cube" He pointed to each of them. "And we lost some friends...the autobots lost Jazz and we lost Jenson… but we they didn't die in vain, they fought for their planet, home or adopted"

He sat back down, wiping a cloth across his dirty forehead. They were all filthy. Their clothes were torn. Kimber had her riding jacket in her lap. It was threatening to tear in two like a wet paper. She sighed and leaned her head back, closing her eyes. She never realized how tired she was.

When she opened her eyes Sam was poking her "We landed" she groaned as she got up, her back was sore. Kayla looked up at her from the exit of the helicopter "we can get ice on that once we're debriefed"

"Debriefed?"

Will stepped back up "by me, by the secretary of defence, and then Optimus"

"When do you think we'll be home?"

"Probably tomorrow night. Ratchet and our medics need to look you three over to make sure you don't have any broken bones"

The three teens groaned, but obliged as they were lead to the medical tent where ratchet's alt mode was parked. Once inside Kimber locked eyes with Ratchet's ponytail. It was different then she remembered, but the last time she saw it was about a day ago so she didnt really have a good memory of it. Ir was short, more of like a bob than a ponytail. He had a parcial beard on her face. His blue eyes glanced over from behind his red glasses and he smirked, holding up a needle "You're next Kimber"

She froze "Shit"
