Chapter 12: Rescue, Go Figure
"We're close, Optimus" Ironhide told his leader.
"Good, everyone split up, Jazz" he started.
"Yes sir" Jazz replied.
"You and Hot Shot take Josh and Jaden to a safe distance, I don't think it's going to be pretty if it does turn out to be the Decepticons" Optimus told him.
"Yes..." Jazz and Hot Shot started but were cut off by a pair of human voices.
"Oh no you don't!" Josh exclaimed.
"We are not going anywhere when our friend is in danger" Jaden pushed.
"You'll both be in danger if we take you with us, not to mention, you would get in the way" Optimus said.
"We are coming with you and that's final!" Jaden growled and huffed into her seat.
"They are very persuasive" Hot Shot said in shock at how in control Jaden sounded.
"Fine, just stay as far away from danger as possible" Optimus sighed in defeat.
"You got it" Jaden and Josh said happily.
Optimus only sighed again as he was left to keep going straight, while the other Autobots went down separate streets. Nearing the blue area on their tracking systems.

There was a loud siren blaring within the Decepticon base. Making everyone jump in surprise. I looked up at the ceiling and then at Starscream.
"What is going on?" I asked.
"Autobots" Starscream said simply as he stood with me in the safety grip of his hand.
I was about to say something, until I was rudely interrupted by Megatrons voice over a intercom.
"All Decepticons to the surface" he paused "Starscream, bring the human"
Starscream nearly dropped me from his grasp, but caught me in time. I could tell he did not want to bring me. I put a hand on his thumb. He looked down at me. I gave him one of my genuine smiles and I could feel him loosen up a bit.
"I'm afraid of what I might put you through if I bring you up with us" Starscream admitted.
My smiled faded "I'll be fine, just don't step on me" I joked trying to make him laugh.
I only got a smirk and he left the room with me in his hand. We met up with the other Decepticons at what seemed to be the entry hatch to the surface. I hid myself safely in Starscreams loose fist.
"Starscream, did you bring the human?" Megatron asked.
"Yes, sir" the Fighter Jet replied.
"Good" Megatron growled happily, he then looked at his men "Well what are you waiting for, get up there!" he roared.
The Decepticons quickly jumped up and out of the hatch, landing on the concrete road of the city. People, of coarse, ran for their lives at seeing the giant robots, thinking they were going to take over the word and kill them. That was half right, at least for this band of Transformers known as the Decepticons. I looked around fearfully, not knowing what I was getting myself into.
To my shock I saw a familiar red, blue flamed Semi truck screech to a stop in front of the Decepticons. The Autobot leader transformed and clenched his fists in front of him, ready to fight. I could see Megatron smile out of the corner of my eyes. Then I saw the other familiar vehicles surround the Decepticons and transform. I smiled, cheering inside my head.
"Where is she, Megatron!" Optimus roared, pointing at the Decepticon leader.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, Prime" Megatron lied nonchalantly.
"You fucking liar!" I heard a voice scream from the Cadillac known as Jazz.
I wiggled out of Starscream's fist and saw Jaden behind the tinted window.
"Jaden!" I screamed.
"Jody!" Jaden and Josh yelled in joy as they got out of the two cars they were in.
"Give her back, Megatron!" Optimus demanded dangerously, the gray skies above beginning to leak droplets of water, soon raining hard on the battle field.
"I don't think I will" said Megatron with a wicked smile.
Megatron snatched me from Starscream's grip, roughly. I let out a cry of pain as he squeezed a little to hard on my still healing ribs.
"Put her down, now!" Jetfire yelled.
"How about" he started "not" he finished and squeezed me harder.
Another cry of pain slipped from my lungs. Starscream watched in horror at this.
"Starscream, kill Optimus Prime" Megatron ordered plainly.
Starscream was still staring at me agonized expression.
"Starscream, do it now or I'll squeeze the life out of your precious human!" Megatron roared.
Starscream looked at Megatron then at me and then looked at Optimus. I wiggled in Megatron's grasp.
"No, don't fight him, Starscream" I squeaked as Megatron gripped tighter around my fragile body.
Starscream looked at the ground, hesitating.
"Starscream, kill him!" Megatron yelled.
Starscream took off his left Jet wing and unfolded it, creating a sword that began to glow blood red. I watched in fear at this.
"I'm sorry, Jody" he said then charged at Optimus.
"No!" I screamed, but was cut short by the continually adding pressure.
Starscream sliced his sword down towards Optimus, but Optimus caught it between his hands, the blade starting to burn the metal from his hands. Optimus growled in pain and directed the sword away from him, sending Starscream to his hands and knees behind him. Starscream quickly got back up and swung at the Autobot leader again. Optimus only blocked it with his right forearm.
"I'm sorry, Optimus, but I must fight you to save Jody" Starscream whispered to Optimus as he applied more pressure to the sword so it started cutting into the Autobot's arm.
Optimus cried in pain as the sword cut right through his arm. I gasped in horror as I watched the metal arm fall to the ground, sparking and twitching. Everyone stood frozen in time as they watched the scene in front of them, then yelled as they watched Starscreams sword lift into the air.
"No, Starscream, no!" I cried.
