Part 7
The sky was orange and red. The sun was about to set. Dustin stood in his exosuit, next to his car. He faced a girl whose face shadowed by a hood, who was also carrying a child. The child was no older than a newborn.
"You need to get out of here." Dustin said.
"I can't leave you." The girl cried.
"You can and you must. I can't guarantee that I can protect you during the fight."
The girl held the baby tightly as she came closer to Dustin. Dustin hugged her and kissed her. She turned and ran off. She turned around to see Dustin's exosuit helmet unfolded around his head, then he transformed into Shortstop. He stood among the other Autobots. He looked as if he were in command of them. He looked across the war torn battle ground to the opposing Decepticons.
"Autobots, attack." Shortstop ordered.
They all charged forward and the Decepticons did the same. They fought until the bitter end.
The girl continued to run. She didn't even look back. She clutched her child and ran away from the raging battle.
Dustin awoke slightly confused. He rolled over and looked at the sleeping face of his beautiful fiancé. He lightly caressed her face and then finally drifted off to sleep.
