--------------------------------------------------------------
A man in a torn, black suit was running down a hallway, holding his right arm. He was sweating bullets, blood running down his face from deep scratches. He stopped and sat down on the floor, breathing rapidly after he rounded another corner of the darkened corridor. He hoped that he had gotten away when a dark figure appeared directly in front of him, holding an arm up with a gun in it's hand.
"N-No! Please!" the man yelled as he put his own arms up in front of his face in defense.
The figure smiled evilly, and he could barely make out anything but the smile and those bright yellow eyes.
"We had a d-deal!" he yelled in terror.
The figure laughed in a maddening manner before looking back to the man, cocking the small pistol to shoot.
"...Deal's off... I've decided to take care of the woman on my own!"
Down the hallway the reverberation of he sound of a gunshot made it's way.
There was only silence.
--------------------------------------------------
Before she decided that it was something random, four people burst through the doors of the lab. The girl jumped back until she saw them appear at her cell's door and broke through the lock, opening the door.
"Seven!" a voice shouted.
"F-Five?!" she asked as she walked out of the cell.
"Come on! Let's get out of here!" Five yelled as she took her younger friend by the right arm and they all ran through the long corridors.
"How did you manage this?!" Seven asked.
"We managed to set a trap for the guards, and got out! We needed to come and get you before we left!" Five explained as they ran.
Seven gave the woman an ecstatic expression as she continued to run with the others. As they entered another corridor to head for the elevators, they saw guards running out of another hallway.
"There they are!" one of the guards yelled as they all set their guns' aim on the runners.
Five pulled the younger girl around a corner and the other three used their speed and strength to dodge every shot, killing the guards as they approached them.
"Come on!" one of the other three yelled.
"Let's go!" Five ordered as she pulled Seven again.
They all got to the elevator as one of them turned to argue with the others.
"I told you! We need to send the elevator up to throw off suspicion and jump to the bottom of the shaft to crawl through the air vents!" he argued.
Another boy of the group looked to the other and said, "We don't have time! There's too many of us and we can get through here faster with just the skeleton crew. If we waste time we risk having reinforcements called on us and that'll make things much more difficult!"
The elevator came back to their floor and they piled in. The doors closed and one of them pressed the button "1".
"Okay, everyone be prepared, this will be the most difficult part. They're probably going to be waiting for us so we need to be on guard!"
BOOM
"What was that?!"
"Seven! Wake up!" the voice of a scared girl suddenly came into perspective.
"Five?" Seven asked in a small voice.
"What? No! Come on! Get up!" Mikaela shoved the girl into reality.
Seven scrambled to her feet, remembering where she was.
"What's going on?" she yelled as she grouped together with the other two humans.
"The Decepticons found us!" Sam replied.
"Get the children out of here!" Optimus ordered.
Bumblebee transformed and opened the doors, Sam and Mikaela jumping in.
"Come on! Let's go!" Mikaela motioned for Seven to join them. Bumblebee held the driver's side door open for Seven to climb in.
"You guys go ahead! I'll stay and help out here!" Seven announced as she shooed them away.
A giant metal hand shoved the girl into the compartment of Bumblebee's cab as Optimus spoke, "You mustn't fight! They're too strong! Go Bumblebee!"
The Camaro spun out it's tires as the Autobot sped off with the three humans inside.
"Wait! Take me back there! I can fight them!" Seven's command fell on deaf ears.
"It's only one Decepticon against the four of them, they' should be fine, right Bee?!" Sam asked for reassurance.
"But..." Seven looked out of the rear window and said, "Is that all there are? Just the one? Then why are we running away?"
"Uh... Well I'm not sure... I would assume that there would, ultimately, be more of them but..." Sam seemed unsure.
Seven turned around and looked at the steering wheel.
"Bumblebee! It's a trap! Turn around!" Seven demanded as she took the wheel, trying to force the Autobot around, but even her strong, robotic arm couldn't make him budge.
"What are you talking about?!" Mikaela asked.
"If there's more of them, then they're probably using one to distract the rest of the Autobots! The rest will be coming to-"
BOOM
Several vehicles appeared around Bee as he skidded to a stop.
"-Get us..." Seven looked back out of the rear window to see that they had gotten too far away from the others to be seen by them.
"...Standard battle procedure if there are more of them... and less of you..." Seven said in an annoyed tone.
A police cruiser transformed into a giant Decepticon and shouted, "Hand over the map!"
The three humans got out of the car cabin before Bumblebee transformed and went into a defensive position.
"There is no more map! It was destroyed!" Sam yelled up to them.
"We know!" another Decepticon transformed.
"We want the other map!" It seethed.
"The other... map?" Mikaela and Sam looked to each other and then behind them to Seven.
"Oh damn..." The girl looked at the towering giants who were staring down upon her.
"Just hand her over and we'll let you go!" The police cruiser's new form shouted.
Bumblebee went for the cruiser and another knocked him away easily, knocking him offline.
"Bee!" Sam and Mikaela yelled.
"You have no choice! Come with us now!" Another shouted.
"I'm not going anywhere without a good fight!" Seven shouted, standing in a defensive position.
The three Decepticons howled with laughter.
"A Human?! Fighting against three of the most powerful Decepticons?! This will be no challenge!" the cruiser cackled.
"You two go to Bee!" Seven ordered.
"Y-Yeah... Right..." Sam took hold of the dazed Mikaela and they ran to the offline Autobot.
"I warn you, you will die!" The cruiser shouted as it motioned for the other two to stand down.
"Don't get so cocky just yet!" Seven shouted up to them.
"Then die by the hands of me! Barricade!" The cruiser shouted as it swung a giant arm at the girl.
Seven jumped extremely high in the air. At least forty feet above the arm of the Decepticon, as the girl came close to Barricade's face.
"What's this?!" Barricade shouted in confusion as the girl struck him in the side of the face with a hard kick.
The Decepticon's body flew backwards into the other two as he skidded to a stop.
Seven landed on the ground and smiled evilly.
"What's the matter?! Having some trouble with the measly Human?!" She taunted.
Barricade and the other two quickly came back to a stand.
"You fool! Now you've angered me!" Barricade shouted as he ran forwards.
"Then this might really piss you off!" Seven shouted as she ran forward as well.
Barricade stopped quickly and aimed a gun on his arm.
"Huh?!" Seven wasn't counting on an oversized weapon but she kept running anyway.
Barricade laughed as he fired off several rounds of his weapon.
Seven clapped her hands together as she ran and touched her arm, transmuting it into a large shield. She placed her shielding arm in front of her as she used her extreme speeds to dodge each shot. When she approached the Decepticon she jumped up again, this time backhanding the giant metal fiend. The backhand managed to knock Barricade out of alignment, but he brought up his other arm, swatting the girl to the ground.
"Seven!" the other two humans shouted.
The girl landed on the ground, feeling a bit of pain in the left side of her ribcage. She quickly got up and dodged an attempt to squash her flat and landed on the other side of Barricade, clapping her hands together again. She touched her right arm and it transmuted back into it's normal look.
"Let's try metal to dirt!" She shouted as she clapped her hands together again.
Instead of transmuting her arm, she bent down to the ground and made contact with it. The ground began to shake as a giant, dirt fist jumped out of the ground and knocked Barricade over, crushing him against the ground and pounding at his armor.
"Whoa..." Sam stood, stunned, while Mikaela looked over their robotic friend.
It was obvious that Seven tired out quickly from all of the fighting and she stopped the attack, standing back up to overlook her work.
"All right! She did it! She destroyed him!" Sam danced around happily.
"...I'm not so sure Sam..." Mikaela replied, pointing towards where Barricade had fallen.
The cloud of dust started to settle and the metal figure of Barricade stood back up, even more angered.
"Damn it! I'm trained to fight large groups of humans, not one of these guys! I need something stronger than this!" Seven thought to herself as she caught her breath.
The other two Decepticons joined with Barricade and he pointed to the girl.
"That arm! It mimics Cybertronian armor! How is this possible?!" Barricade shouted.
Seven didn't answer him. She was still catching her breath but the look she gave the metal figure was a dangerous one indeed. The sweat on her brow glimmered in the newly arising sun.
"If we destroy that arm, then you have no defense!, " Barricade announced as he motioned for the other two Decepticons to go forth.
"Oh no!" Mikaela yelled in fear as she saw the two make their way towards their new friend.

Chapter Teaser!
"We don't have the map, StarScream!" Optimus said as he ran forward to attack the Decepticon.
StarScream jumped out of the way, shooting off a large canon of his own. Optimus just barely managed to get back before the ground beneath him shook with the powerful wave of the blast.
"Perhaps you don't! But by this time, Barricade and BoneCrusher should have it!" StarScream taunted.
The Autobots snapped to attention after hearing this.
"What are you talking about, StarScream?!" Ratchet shouted.
