Hey, not much to say, except I will again soon be leaving and I won't update in a while. I can't honestly say if this will be my last update, but as I'm writing this, I will try to make this not my last for a while. I'm going to try and update some more.

Hope you like it.

It was the plan that if we were ever attacked here, Bumblebee was to get me out the back door, toward the forest, until we were far enough away that no one was going to attack us. But this plan has many flaws, like 'what if the Decepticons surrounded the base?'

And so Bumblebee drifts to an abrupt stop as Starscream comes into view, blocking our exit. He let me out, through the passenger door away from the second in command Decepticon, and transformed, assuming a protective position in front of me.

"Only one? I would have thought you Autobots would have made more of an effort to keep your precious human safe." came Starscream's chilling voice. I couldn't see him, for I was right behind Bee's left leg.

"I'm more than enough to protect the boy." Bee growled, then glanced back at me. "Take cover back in the base." he instructed. I trusted him enough to turn my back and run the other way without a second thought. But when I was safely around the corner, I decided to hide in the dip in the wall with the window facing the two mechs I had just left behind.

Within seconds, they were locked into battle and evenly matched. When I was sure Bee could hold his own, I snuck around to see how the other's were fairing, all the while staying inside the base.

What I seen horrified me. There were hundreds of Decepticons, some stayed back as reinforcements and to surround the base so no Autobot left, others fought. Each of the Autobots were fighting two or three Decepticons at a time. Optimus was locked in a battle with Megatron, yet he was still dodging shots sent his way. It was obvious who would win, and the though brought tears to my eyes. The Decepticons were going to get it there way, and I could bear to see it happen, but I couldn't look away at the same time.

I was surprised when large metal hands, slightly larger than I was used to, picked me up. Before I could shout, a familiar voice 'shushed' me and my head snapped around to see our medic, Ratchet.

"I'm getting you to safety." he assured, but I knew it wouldn't work. We were surrounded. But I spared a glance toward the back exit, where Bee fought Starscream. "Don't worry, I've told Bumblebee of my plan. He's going to abandon Starscream as soon as you're to safety." I nodded, trusting his word.

He covered me with his hands as he ran out, shielding me from any debris from the attacks. He skillfully evaded every Decepticon and was in the stretch of land between the Decepticon circle and the battle. We could see them plainly, yet they didn't raise their weapons. I was starting to get worried, I knew they came here after me, yet they appeared to be letting us pass.

But their reasoning became clear as a powerful blow hit Ratchet in the back, sending him forward and dropping me. I landed on my side, trying to roll as I landed to spread the landing pain away from just one spot. It didn't work.

As Ratchet got up, the Decepticons surrounding the base pulled him away easily and others surround me and whoever attacked. But I knew those cannons, they were the ones to kill me in Egypt, they were the ones that killed Optimus before Egypt.

I struggled to my feet to face the Decepticon leader. He was amused with my injuries.

"Pitiful, this was all too easy." he sneered.

"How did you get all these reinforcements?" I had to know, and any villain on the edge of winning was easily swayed into a monologue on how they did it.

"Simple, we retrieved that traitor's space bridge equipment from that blasted battle in Egypt and repaired it." so much for a monologue. "Now it's time for you and your precious Autobots to fight on our turf."

At no apparent motion, one of the unfamiliar Decepticons stepped forward with what had to be a space bridge.

"But from previous experiences, you cause us too much trouble. And it's only your brain we need." He raised a cannon and I braced myself to feel the burn before death once again. But there was a commotion behind me and I felt metal hands wrap around me once more. These ones I knew immediately. And when he brought me close so I has tucked against his spark and hidden from view as he held up his own cannon to defend me, though in comparison it was nothing more than a toothpick compared to a sword.

"I'm not letting you off line the boy again." my guardian growled.

Megatron laughed. "You? I could kill you both with one shot. But, I do know that if you have reason enough, you could escape. And you his owner aren't you? He's your human, so you will fight to the death to keep it safe."

"Slag right I will."

"Then today is your lucky day." I could hear his cannons power up. Bee knew his weapons would do no good, so he replaced his other hand in further attempt to shield me from the inevitable. I again braced myself and buried myself closer to his spark. I feared feeling it cool, but right now, I would take comfort that it's still warm and on line.

But Megatron's shot was once again interrupted as a yell came from beside him and Bee's arm shot out and he shot. I could see by turning my head out and peeking through the small gap left that he had shot the space bridge. It was now glowing bright as Jetfire's hands were when he powered it up in his life time.

"It's coming on line!" the Decepticon holding it shouted. Megatron forgot us and tended to the space bridge.

"Who is it set on?" he demanded.

"All of the Autobots and the All Spark still."

"Where is it set to?"

"I don't know. That's the part the Autobot shot, he scrambled the settings." And that's the last things I heard before Bee replaced his hand and I felt the familiar compressing feeling of flying through space. Only this time, it was stable and when we landed, we didn't have a great fall.

Now we were somewhere, who knows where (some where I can breathe) and stranded. At least it's just us and the Decepticons aren't here.

I didn't worry about the fact the Decepticons were now at the base with NEST unprotected. The only thing I could concentrate on was the fact we were safe and the Autobots are alive. The warmth below me and the hands tightening around me told me this.

I'll try to get other chapters out, but I'm not going to promise anything. I know it's short, but it's what came out. I wanted to leave it here, at a cliff hanger. And because if I continue, I'm probably going to be getting out another chapters worth.
