Hi, sorry if you noticed my slip that I corrected moments after it happened. I accidently posted the next chapter to 'Lies, or just not the whole truth?' on this one. I took it off and put it on the right story literary seconds after it happened. I didn't think it would make much sense for one chapter they're all on Cybertron and its years before human Sam is even born, the next he has a gift and is helping to destroy the Fallen. Well, if you didn't notice it, I messed up again. Anywho (I already said it was a word) on with the story. Hope you like it.
This was it. Their plan has finally come and we weren't ready.
"Bumblebee!" I looked to Optimus. Sam was cowering in my hands. We were all at the Egg Hall and caught up in a fight. The biggest one yet. The Decepticons were after the All Spark. "Take Sam and get out of here!" He shouted, running toward the room the All Spark was being healed in. I turned and hesitated. Could we leave them?
"Bee, we have to help." Sam said, though he looked terrified. I looked down at him, I knew he was right, but I wanted to get him out of here and to safety. My mind was made up as Ironhide and Sunstreaker ran our way.
"Megatron is coming. We have to hold him off until Optimus has our backup plan set up." Ironhide explained. I looked back down to Sam, we couldn't leave. Not even if we wanted to. I put him on my shoulder; we're going up against Megatron. This won't end well.
The wall was suddenly blown in and three more Decepticons crashed in. Megatron right behind them.
"Get out of my way, Autobots." he growled. We took battle positions. He glared at us. "Your efforts are futile." He drew out his cannon and shot at us. We dodged and shot back, stalling has begun. I frowned, just days ago we were having fun; Sam was getting good with his training. Now, the Decepticons had to arrive and attack.
"The backup is set." Sideswipe rushed in, helping us. The other Autobots came in after him, and other Decepticons soon after. We were in all out war.
"Bumblebee! Get Sam out of here!" Optimus ordered as he advanced on Megatron. I nodded and tried to leave, taking Sam off my shoulder and holding him protectively to my spark, where he wouldn't get hit. A familiar 'con jumped between us and the exit.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, raising a cannon to my head. I shifted Sam into one hand and transformed my own hand into a cannon.
"Get out of the way." I ordered. He shook his head and looked down at Sam.
"It seems I'll hurt destroy more than one spark if I choose to attack now." I glared at him, raising my cannon higher to his processer.
"If you so much as think about hurting him-" I threatened. His optics widened.
"Oh, you care for him. Maybe I could damage you farther if I just destroy him?" I shot. He dodged and attacked. I jumped out of the way and tackled him; Sam made his way to my shoulder again and began to shoot. Then Arcee came and pinned him unexpectedly to the ground.
"Hurry, don't let the youngling get hurt." She urged. Usually Sam got irritated at being called that, he was really no longer a youngling, but to all of us, he always will be. I nodded and ran again, not bothering to take Sam somewhere less in the open. We would just be attacked again.
"Optimus!" Someone shouted. I skidded to a halt and we both turned to the direct other side of the room. Megatron had just gotten Optimus on the ground. Optimus was struggling to get back up, but was unable. Megatron laughed.
"Now, for the Cube." He grinned. The exit was near the entrance to the room the All Spark was healed in, He would be coming this way.
"Plan B!" Optimus shouted, hoping to be able to get up now that Megatron wasn't stepping on him. Everyone rushed toward the All Spark, but it wouldn't be quick enough. We were the only ones close enough to reach the All Spark before Megatron, he was quickly advancing, striking down any one attempting to stall him.
"Go for a face shot." Sam suddenly said. I looked at him. "Hurry, he won't expect it." I nodded and shot at Megatron. He backed up a bit and turned to us. He raised his cannon, but I acted on instinct and tackled him. He pushed me off just as Optimus entered the room. Megatron growled and pushed himself away, toward the escaping Autobots.
I heard Optimus shout, "Launch it!" and Megatron stopped dead in his tracks. The sound of something large leaving the planet soon met my ears. They had launched the All Spark off earth.
Time froze as Megatron turned to me. He had failed to take the All Spark and it was my fault. I backed up, taking Sam off my shoulder and holding him protectively to my spark. He huddled to it willingly. As Megatron advanced, the other Autobots came into the room to fight. All the other Decepticons, except Starscream, had run out. They were surrounded.
"Lord Megatron, I would advise you to leave. If we go now, we could track the Cube, and we are terrible out numbered." Starscream advised. He wasn't very smart, and no one liked him, but right now he was the intelligent one. Megatron came to a stop as the Autobots inched around to me, trying to help if he attacked. I didn't think Megatron was that stupid, but he was that angry. He didn't even look around, but he acted before anyone was near enough to us. He launched himself forward at the two of us.
His arm stretched out, aimed at m neck. I didn't have time to act, but Sam did. He quickly escaped my grip and got in the way. So instead of Megatron crushing my vocal processers and everything else there, he gripped Sam. I responded without thinking, the Decepticon leader was crushing my charge. I tackled Megatron full force. He didn't even budge.
"Leave him alone." I growled, trying to desperately get to Sam. Megatron just stood there, realizing my greatest weakness, thinking up a punishment worst than killing me. The others couldn't react while Megatron was ready to kill the young one. "Put him down, take me." I clawed harder at his grip.
"You deserve to suffer. And it seems I can bring it on you worse than ripping your processers out." He squeezed Sam and I felt our link go weak. I could feel the pain through it; he was unable to even scream. I collapsed, clutching my sides. The others ran forward, realizing he was going to try and kill the youngling either way. But it was too late. Through our link I felt nothing. An empty void. I heard voices, Megatron, Optimus, and Megatron. I heard someone leave and something fall to the ground. There were angry screams, and I suddenly got control over my body again, but only over pure protectiveness.
I seen Ratchet reach down to pick up Sam's lifeless form, I growled and launched myself over to him, lifting the younglings form into my hands. I held him to my spark, and I wouldn't move. I heard more voices and I shut down. Sam, my sparkling, my charge, was gone. I reached out through the link, desperate to find a trace f him. But I found nothing.
It wasn't like he severed the link, then it just wouldn't be there. I wouldn't have my side. But he was off line, and I did still have the link, there was just nothing on the other side. At that moment my systems shut down, for many reasons and in more ways than one.
They shut down because I couldn't handle it, the death of my charge was just too much, and I didn't want to deal with it. My systems shut down, I was going into an emergency recharge, and my systems were shutting down, not likely to come back on. I probably wouldn't actually be online ever again.
Or, that's what I thought then. At that time, I forgot the sparkling Sam we all knew was a reincarnated Sam from the future. I would only gain hope, allow someone else to even touch Sam's body, when Ratchet had told me the Cube would land on Earth, where we would find the first Sam. But he won't remember us, there's no way he will be able to regain memories of this life, because the life he has yet to come will be his first.
I can't honestly tell you what happened after Samuel died, my life was void, the empty link always a reminder of what we had. I wouldn't be able to live until I found him on earth, and I would count down the days until then.
I'm going to never lose hope, and I will never lose him like that again. The battle he was said to die in, it won't happen. I won't let it happen, he won't die.
I hoped you liked it, I will most definitely write a sequel. It won't be up until I finish 'Lies, or just not the whole truth?' I know people will hate me for killing sparkling Sam, but it had to be done. I couldn't let two Sam's be in the same time, it might disrupt the time/space continuum, even if he didn't time travel and it was cause of the Cube.
The sequel should be interesting, but tell me if it should be SPOV or BPOV. I'm sorry if I made this too short, but I couldn't do any more fluff, he was already the right age, and I'm not good at Sam/anyone else fluff. I tried, it just doesn't do well. I could maybe write the Ironhide training Sam from Sam's POV, I also can't write any POV other than Optimus, Sam, or Bee. Maybe Mikayla or someone like Arcee doing something like caring for sparklings, what she likes. But I couldn't do any one else for fluff or anything like that.
I hoped you liked this story, as I know you did. This story has collected more reviews than any other one, a bunch of alerts, favorited, and other stuff. I feel sorry for ending it like this, but I thought it was a good way to end it. I fully intend making a sequel, but I will give permission for anyone to write their own, I say this because I've wanted to write a sequel to many of my fav stories.
