Author's Note: Thanks to DamonBamon for reviewing the last chapter and I am Blueberry for prodding me to get this one done! Enjoy and I own nothing but Tallie and Allie
Chapter Seven: Activating Plan C
"Sooo," Allie said slowly as they ran, still managing to drawl somehow.
"What?" Tallie snapped at her twin, pushing herself to move faster even though her body was aching. Maybe she should have listened to Jazz and stayed at the base.
"What's plan C?" Allie asked.
"I don't know," Tallie snapped. "I thought you were in charge of plan C."
"I came up with plan B. Why should I have to think of everything?"
"Because you're older."
"But I've been living with Decepticons."
"Oh, right," Tallie said, her mind whirring. That was when she saw Sideswipe and Ironhide. Near them was the soldiers and Mikaela. "You want to know Plan C?"
"Yeah," Allie said in a no duh tone of voice.
"Wing it," Tallie said and they both skidded the last few feet. That was when Tallie saw Sam's still body and the tears pouring down Mikaela's face. "Oh no," she whispered as Allie helped pull her up. "This is all wrong." Allie nodded, her expression grim. Tallie saw sparks drifting off her fingers and a strange thought hit her. What if she could restart Sam's heart?
"Try it," Allie said, somehow knowing what her twins was thinking. Tallie nodded and scrambled over to Sam lying so still on the ground. Her fingers spark and glowed with a wild energy. They connected with his chest and there was a wild flare between the two. And Sam's eyes snapped opened. He pulled in a deep breath as Tallie scrambled back, falling over, and the matrix reformed.
Sam nodded at her as Allie helped her up and ran over to Optimus. The matrix flew into the Autobot leader's chest and to the astonishment of all his optics came online. That was when something even more unexpected than a return from the dead happened. The Fallen warped right on Optimus Prime's chest and grabbed the matrix. "My matrix," he sneered and vanished.
"Ohhkay?" Tallie said, unable to think of anything else. "That was odd." That was when the last Prime collapsed.
"We're losing him," Ratchet called and Tallie sucked in a frightened breath.
"Here's the new plan C," Allie said suddenly. "I get the matrix while you keep Optimus alive until I can get back."
"Deal," Tallie said firmly as Allie vanished beside her. Her fingers were already glimmering with energy as she pressed them against Optimus' leg. They were going to make it through this alive. They had to.
