Chapter Six- Mission City
Sam whirled around to look at Emma, and she smiled a little at her older brother. Sitting up, she let out an unladylike sound when the seatbelt jerked her back down.
Sam could only twitch a lip at her strange sound before he gently laid a hand on her shoulder. After he was sure that his sister was fine, he then spoke to Mikaela.
'Why am I feeling like he's not even paying attention to me?' she thought, staring at the two with a glint of jealously shivering in her eyes.
The young girl, of course, didn't get to dwell on her stewing emotions when Bumblebee came to a stop, the seatbelt sliding off. Still holding onto 'Allie', Emma got out of the car after Mikaela, because Sam shut the door before she got out. Standing there, feeling insulted, she choked when the earth trembled so harshly that she actually fell in response to it.
The girl blinked for a moment, her mind trying to catch up with what has just happened when she noticed something. Emma quickly started to look around. She sensed the Decepticons in the area. The Silent One's breath caught in her throat and she let out a whimper. In fact, she could feel that the Decepticons were traveling. So caught up in this fact, Emma barely had time to let out a cry as Allie was removed from her arms. Bumblebee was holding "her" now, and Emma felt like crying.
Yet, there was no time to complain over the Allspark's present placement. She had looked up. The girl's eyes got wide with horror as she froze, she saw a jet. Emma shuddered as a memory hit her. It was the scientist. No, not anymore. It was Starscream.
'Hide Emma!' Allie shouted, but it was too late.
Out of the corner of her eye, she scarcely had time to notice the Furbie's blank stare, before a boom 'rushed' through the air and what had been used as a 'shield', blew up. The girl let out a soundless scream as she fell to her knees, desperately trying to protect her head as metal shards flew over the city's landscape.
The pain quickly followed after the flying rubble, which made Emma cry out. Quickly, she lowered her arms only to wish she hadn't when she located the source of the pain. There were scraps and cuts of varying sizes running down her arm as if she had gotten into a death match with Freddy Cougar. The girl usual would cringe at the thought of the horror movie monster, but, truthfully, he didn't seem so scary now. Nothing could be more frightening than this.
Regrettably, the mute child didn't get to dwell on that fact when something red fell into her eye. Panic filled her when she lifted her hand up only to find blood. Oh, now she remembered. During the explosion she had fallen, and hit her head.
The girl looked down. She could see where she had hit her head. There, on a slight jutting piece of ruptured sidewalk, was some blood curving its way gracefully down the incline of the cement. 'Wonderful!' she thought sarcastically, holding her hand to her head. She whimpered slightly when she applied some pressure to stop the bleeding. Yet, the girl didn't have time for pain. A sick feeling was hanging just below her diaphragm; something was wrong and she didn't mean bleeding from the head wrong.
Suddenly, Emma's head buzzed, and she looked around. Decepticons were everywhere, and Allie was drifting farther away.
With a groan, she began to run, ducking around people, and ignoring the fact she was in a lot of pain. She even ran through some glass, but, with the pain filled haze she was already in, she barely felt it. All that mattered was getting to the Allspark, no, Allie! She had to get to Allie.
But fate always seemed to be a cruel mistress, so much so that Emma was slammed forward into the earth by a shockwave, something landed behind her. Coughing, the Silent Child sat up a bit, and looked up. She stared, shaking from pain, and shock. Starscream stood over her, glaring, and Emma quivered under his blatant gaze. Now, he did not look so angelic. Time and war had damaged him beyond repair. Oh, he was fine, in the mechanical sense, but in the core sense?
The girl shuddered as she felt the truth. He was lost, and fallen. Pulling away from the mech above her, Emma hoped the flier would loose interest in her. Alas, he did not.
Starscream watched silently for a moment as blood trickling down the side of the small human's face from her head wound, wishing its way down her cheek like a horrific tear. He observed with a slight fascination for a moment before he looked down at the ground. He saw more blood.
The mech decided not to dwell on it as he launched upward, transforming mid-air so he could go after other humans. Something told him he shouldn't kill that particular human. Plus there was this ache in his spark he got from looking at the young juvenile. It was like he had forgotten to kiss his creator goodbye.
Emma, still on the ground, stared at the flier for a moment, feeling the ache of his spark for a moment before she shot up, and ran like the wind to where Allie was. All the while she crashed into walls of building from fatigue. It was from the pain her body felt and it seemed her mind was following after. Was she going to make it?
The girl's feet suddenly came to a halt and a gasp escaped her silent lips. She had finally reached the building that had the All Spark, but she had also found Megatron. Fear swept over her as she stared upward at the monstrous titan, yet she couldn't look away no matter how frightened she was. Allie was up there … and so was Sam. The young girl trembled at the thought of losing her brother in this battle, but the Emma didn't even get a moment to shed a tear for her brother when blocks of concrete fell from the sky … and towards her. She barely had time to blink before she jumped out of the way, falling into a roll, but she miscalculated and fell, badly.
She was alive, but she had hit her head a little too roughly and wasn't waking up. The young girl was just lying there, in the alleyway like a broken doll, forgotten in a pile of rubble. So forgotten that she was not even noticed by Optimus, who was just opposite of her alleyway; only Allie knew where she was, and she was furious.
A small pool of blood dripped down onto the cement from Emma's head, leading her into a dream like state as she laid there motionless. In this dream state, Allie couldn't contact her, couldn't make sure she was all right. The only thing Allie knew was that Emma was alive.
But, now was also her chance. With all of Emma's mental defenses down, Allie would be able to transfer over, only leaving enough power to kill one mech with the metallic husk of her old body, the Cube. Hopefully, Emma wouldn't be angry that she did this without permission. A small jolt of electricity jumped around the Cube's outer casing, virtually unnoticed by her present holder, and all of the Allspark's presence moved along the link to Emma. There she entered the spot of Emma's mind that she had already made for herself.
Now, all the pair could do was wait. Wait for someone to find the slowly dying teenage girl. Wait for the battle to come to an end. Wait for more of her children to die, fighting over her metallic husk. They just had to wait, inside Emma's mind, one holding each other in a motherly embrace as the war raged on.
A ways away from the Allspark, and her youngest daughter, a fight raged between two siblings. Optimus and Megatron threw fists and banter in the fury of locked battle, Sam could only look on. And that was just what he did. The human stood there watching the two titans crash into each in a mix of metal and flying rubble, but suddenly there was a crash as Optimus fell to the ground begging Sam to push the cube into his chest. The teenager didn't even stall as he rushed forward, thrusting the Cube with into his chest … Megatron's chest. It was then the world seemed to fall into silence, except for one aching scream that was coming from a girl in the alleyway, Emma.
Allie could feel the destruction of her old body as pain withered through her and Emma's mind. Allie held Emma closer during this time, whispering sad truths into her child's ear. "Jazz's dead, Frenzy's dead, Megatron, Bonecrusher, so many are dead Emma."
Emma merely whimpered inside her mind as she drew closer towards Allie. Yet, outside, to the world, she lay still with her life slowly trickling away. To a glancing eye they might actually even think she was dead with the glass shards embedded in her feet, the cuts running up and down her arms, and the blood pooling from her cranium.
Yet, not all hope was lost for the dying girl; someone noticed that she was gone. Captain Lennox looked around. "Where's the girl?"
