Short chapter is short.

I didn't have a whole lot of inspiration for this chapter, but I swear the next one is epic.

Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter Seven: Only Human

Blurr dragged Flash Bang by the hand outside, his feet moving faster than any human's ever could. Flash Bang noticed this, but was too confused by the oddness of the situation to comment. When the two burst outside, the clean air came as a relief after the thick smog from inside.

"Blurr, Flash Bang, you two okay?" Bumblebee asked them worriedly as they appeared. Blurr just shook his head exasperatedly, still clinging onto Flash Bang's hand. Flash Bang looked up at Bumblebee as she tried to calm Blurr down, him having become just as terrified as he had been in the storage room when they'd been locked in by Wasp.

"Shockwave was the one who tried to kill him," Flash Bang told Bumblebee. "He remembers now." Bumblebee stared open mouthed at Blurr for a moment, but soon became preoccupied with a far more imminent matter. Starscream, in all his arrogant glory, flew down towards them, transforming and reeling in his own self-envisioned superiority.

"Foolish organics," he cackled maliciously, "you scramble to survive but your doom is sealed! Run robo fodder, run for all the good it will do you!"

Bulkhead chose that moment to throw a punch at Starscream's leg, but all it did was break the bones in his hand. Bumblebee grabbed onto the Decepticon's leg, but was thrown off when Starscream swung his leg out, sending him flying into Ratchet and Prowl. Optimus tried next, slashing him with his axe, only to be backhanded by Starscream into a nearby wall. He was shaken badly for a moment, but came-to quickly. As Prime tried to move, however, he felt the damage done to his leg.

"My leg," he moaned. "Ratchet, I think it's broken!" Without another word, the other Autobots grabbed him and carried him over to a nearby ambulance. Starscream heard the Prime's exclamation, and reeled back in surprise at what he saw before him.

"Ratchet? I thought I recognised those voices! You've been living with these pathetic organics for so long, you've actually become them! It will be a simple matter to crush you out of existence right now!" But he lost sight of them as soon as they went.

The Decepticons continued on their rampage, leaving them alone for the time being. Flash Bang was thankful to have a quiet moment to see to Blurr.

"Blurr," she said softly. "Blurr, are you okay?" She put her hands on his shoulders, prompting him to look up at her.

"I… Everything is coming together now," he said quietly. "I understand why Shockwave tried to kill me in his office, and… I think he crushed me because of the evidence I found about Wasp. It would have exposed him as the real traitor." Blurr looked up at Flash Bang with relief, and Flash Bang couldn't blame him for it. To have everything so jumbled up and confused in his mind, it must be so frustrating! But now he had that one vital memory that put everything into perspective and, even though he still had half a lifetime of memories to regain, he was Blurr again.

Well, apart from the whole human body thing.

"We need to get to Sumdac Tower," Optimus said after his leg was seen to by a paramedic. The conversation quickly turned to how they were to get there, to which Prowl answered with public transport.

As declared by Bulkhead, the bus wasn't so bad. It gave the group a chance to appreciate how humans relied on vehicles to get them to places. None of them could relax, least of all Blurr, who was running over everything piece by piece in his head. Flash Bang was worried that he'd overload his processor again, but then remembered that he now had a human brain, which she guessed worked differently.

The bus got them to Sumdac Tower quickly, but their intentions of entering were cut short when the city fell into the shadow of an enormous astral body. The Autobots all looked up in unison at the sky, and not a single one knew what to say as Cybertron descended into Earth's orbit. There was nothing any of them could do, as humans or as Autobots, as a laser was fired down on Sumdac Tower, obliterating it in seconds. Once again, the sky was filled with Decepticons, but this time, they were led by Megatron, who landed before the Automen along with Starscream, Lugnut and Blitzwing. Blurr was at least partly relieved to see Shockwave wasn't there, but even so, he was still confused and in no shape to be running from Decepticons.

"Bow before Megatron!" the Decepticon leader declared. "Now that I am Lord of Cybertron, I return to Earth to exterminate organics once and for all!"

"Especially those who have chosen to become organics!" Starscream cawed, pointing to the Automen, all of who stood together defensively.

"This can't be happening…" Bulkhead mumbled. Optimus stood up, putting weight on his broken leg.

"You're right, Bulkhead, it can't be happening!" he declared, stepping forwards on the broken appendage.

"Isn't your leg broken?" Bumblebee asked him, surprised.

"No, his leg was never broken," Prowl said quietly, realisation hitting him. "Because his leg was never real… None of this is real!"

"Is this real enough for you?" Megatron growled, grabbing Prowl and squeezing him in his servo. Prowl pushed back, managing to keep the Decepticon's digits open. Megatron just laughed cruelly, and dared Prowl to do his worst. Suddenly, the tables turned, and Prowl shot into the air, bringing his hand down and slicing off Megatron's arm. The Decepticon screamed in pain, clutching at his shoulder as the torn limb fell to the ground.

Something was very wrong. Blurr couldn't contain himself any longer, his body was shaking and his head was spinning. He didn't know what was what anymore, and for a moment he thought his body had become robotic again as his head began pounding as if he had a processor ache. He quickly became disorientated and his legs buckled beneath him.

"Blurr!" Flash Bang yelled as the speedster flopped down. She managed to grab him and, with Ratchet's help, carry him to the side of the street, under the cover of a broken wall where they set him down.

"Blurr, what's wrong?" Flash Bang asked, but the speedster was out cold. Ratchet didn't know what to do, humans weren't exactly his forte.

Prowl was safely back on the ground, only for Blitzwing to try to step on him. The ninja braced himself and pushed against the triple changer's support servo, keeping him back with little effort. Bulkhead charged at Blitzwing's leg, throwing himself through it and creating a large hole. Blitzwing raised it up to his faceplate to look at it.

"Oh, look, I have a hole in my rocket!" Random Blitzwing cackled. He fell to his aft but quickly came back up, firing his lasers at the ground. Bumblebee raced in, scaling the Decepticon's leg and punching his three faces until they spun round and round, making him exceptionally dizzy and knocking him offline. Prowl began floating in the air, terrifying Starscream who tried and failed to shoot him down. The ninja's image flickered as he phased inside the Seeker's cranial unit, frying his circuits and knocking him out.

Flash Bang had had enough of standing by with Ratchet and Blurr and raced back out into the street. She ignored Ratchet's yell to come back and began to charge straight at Lugnut. The oversized mech readied his weapons and fired at her, but she dodged with skill almost equal to Prowl. When she reached Lugnut's support servos she leapt into the air, going impossibly high, lacing her fingers together and bringing her interlocked hands down on the Decepticon's head. There was a screech of tearing metal and fizzing circuits as Lugnut's cranial unit was crushed beneath the force of her strike.

"Take that, slagger," she said as she dropped down to the ground. Lugnut fell, offline but not dead, with Energon leaking everywhere.

"Flash Bang!" Ratchet called to her. "You need to get back here!" Flash bang turned and ran over to Ratchet, hoping that Blurr had come round. But when she turned around the wall she saw he hadn't.

He'd vanished.

"Where is he?" Flash bang cried out.

"I don't know!" Ratchet replied. "He just vanished into thin air!"

Flash Bang simply didn't know what to think.

Optimus grabbed a hold of Megatron's severed arm and began a barrage of attacks with it, pummelling the Decepticon with the strength of his Autobot body. Megatron was astounded, taking hit after hit from this tiny human. Optimus eventually lowered the arm and looked up at Megatron with undisguised hate in his human eyes.

"You're finished, Megatron," he growled. Megatron snarled at him.

"I will never surrender to a human!" he roared. He raised his cannon to fire but Optimus got there first, dropping the arm and throwing his axe right into the barrel. After a moment, there was a tremendous explosion, and a cloud of purple smoke enveloped everything in sight. The Automen coughed as the smoke began to clear, and when it did, everything Decepticon was gone, including Cybertron. But Flash Bang wasn't worried about that, she was worried about Blurr.

"Where are you…?"

OMG, what happened to Blurr? You'll have to wait till next Monday to find out ;)

Please review!
