Chapter 3.

It was time, the day for Mission City had arrived, the five from the future were watching everything and everyone closely. The had already proceeded to the highway earlier hidden and waiting for the Autobots and Decepticons to pass so they could follow and make sure everything happened as close to this point in the timeline as they could get it. Hot Rod and the others did not have to wait long before they heard the telltale signs of the Autobots and Decepticons sweeping along the highway after a short period of time the group was following behind the two warring factions. It didn't feel like a Klik had passed before Hot Rod's group bore witness to when Bonecrusher and Optimus went off the side of the bridge, landing a few hundred feet down below on the ground both still fight tooth and nail with each other. The watched as Barricade made himself disappear from the fighting, coward that he is, following Bumblebee and the others from far behind hoping that they wouldn't be noticed in all the commotion. It was in Mission City watching the fighting that they saw and ultimately realised where everything had gone wrong in their original timeline. They watched as Sam became trapped on the top of one of the highest buildings in the city with Megatron not far behind him. The Autobots below all scrambling to help, in their minds eye the heard the unmistakable zap of a bot being killed it's Spark (Optimus Prime) extinguished like a candle in the breeze. They knew now what they had to do but they had to time it right or all of time as they knew it could collapse around them they could not interfere to soon or disaster. So they remained parked all five in an alleyway watching and waiting for the right moment to arrive.

They witnessed Ratchet moving like they had never seen him move before as he buzz cut Brawl with his normally sub-spaced saw and how Prowl in space of Jazz attacked Brawl also. They worked together with fierce determination. How badley they wished they could jump into the fray with the other Autobots to help them…but they knew they couldn't they had to wait…wait for they right moment to intervene. That moment quickly came upon them as they saw Megatron with Sam on top of the building bearing down on him.

"Is it fear or courage that compels you boy," Megatron growled his voice deep and deadly. Sam held on to the statue on top of the plinth for dear life.

Further away Starscream was standing atop of one of the surrounding buildings, along with Blackout who transformed and took up a perch next to the commander.

"Give me the Allspark boy and you may live to be my pet" Sam held on defiant against the fifty-five foot giant. That was when at a signal from Jazz, who had originally been here the first time around, Sunstreaker transformed made a run and bound at Starscream, clawing his way up the jet, causing him to leap from his perch with the extra weight boosting himself so that he didn't hit the ground far below. That gave Optimus the time to go in and catch Sam without causing his demise.

It was this intervention that won the Autobots their success, changing the future proceedings as Hot Rod and his crew knew it hopefully for the better.

Hot Rod watched as Optimus protected Sam shielding him from the fall. listening shocked as to what was going on, "Sam if I cannot defeat Megatron, you must push the cube into my chest." they had just saved Prime from being destroyed by Starscream and now he wanted to do this, unbelievable, "I will sacrifice myself to destroy it." Was another string of words he heard his leader utter to the Witwicky child as he observed Megatron and Prime face off again. They saw Blackout come down and transform, stalking his way slowly to the fight taking place between the leaders, his rotor spinning wildly in his right hand. He planned to jump Optimus from behind to help his leader. It was at this point that the shot came from the small human Captain William (Will) Lennox. They watched as he streamed along on a motorbike at full speed before sliding underneath the tall mech firing up at him with a couple of sabot rounds putting him out of his misery.

"Get behind me." Prime ordered the teen. It was around this time that Sam ended up under Megatron's falling body, struggling like mad to get to Sam, even though he had been partially destroyed by the humans and further destroyed by Optimus himself. Ratchet had gone to retrieve the injured Prowl. While Hot Rod and the others watched in astonishment as Sam looked up at the towering mech above him and reached up with the cube. Remembering what Prime had told him, Sam figured the same thing could be applied to the leader of the Decepticons and so he pushed the cube up and into his spark chamber causing it to slowly disappear, Megatron jumped up, fearful and in incredible pain as the cube destroyed him from the inside out, he began to cry out in cybertronian. 'what a way to die', thought Sideswipe from his position next to Hot Rod, but worried for his brother and the others, Jazz and Springer who had took off not long after Sunstreaker to help drive off Starscream and the others. He could kind of sense his brother as he faced off against the Air Commander. Both of them were tough opponents, hell tough was not even the word but to go up against Starscream the Air Commander? One hit from his Null Ray and Sunstreaker would be left barely alive if not done for.
