"So you see Master, because of the Autobots' disgusting love for organic creatures, the femme would be the perfect hostage," Starscream told Megatron, his voice dripping with malice. Megatron nodded slowly while running a sharp claw down Alaina's face, leaving a thin scratch behind.

"I see. You've done well, Starscream, for once," He growled. The Decepticon leader walked into the middle of the fight that was going on with Alaina held high above his head. Shortly, the fighting stopped; Decepticons and Autobots alike stopped in their tracks to stare at him and his hostage.

"Optimus Prime," He sneered, "I believe that this belongs to you?" Optimus slowly walked forward, optics fixed on the still struggling girl.

"Megatron put her down!" The leader of the Autobots commanded.

"Alaina!" Sideswipe had seen her. The silver Autobot looked ready for murder, his pained optics never leaving her petrified face.

"Optimus!" Alaina shouted, gaining the attention of everyone. "Don't worry about me; just shoot this fucking bastard already!" Seeing the incredulous look she was getting from both Prime and 'Sides, she sighed in irritation. "I'm useless anyways! Just shoot him!"

Sideswipe lunged forward at that, intent on offlining any mech that stood in the way of him getting Alaina. His plan was cut short, however, when Sunstreaker grabbed onto his arms with the intention of holding him back. When it did nothing but slow him down, Ratchet and Ironhide ran to the duo and grabbed a hold of Sideswipe. They didn't need him interfering.

"You have had plenty of time to think about what your decision will be by now: kill us, or let the organic die. If you do not make your decision soon, I'll just drop her." Megatron says, waving his hand carelessly and watching the brunette girl flop around helplessly.

'Oh shit,' she thought, 'If I'm dropped from this height, I'll probably just die anyways.' She looked down at the ground, which was quite a ways from where she was being held in an iron grip. 'I just want the less painful way'

Sideswipe and Sunstreaker had come to the same unfortunate realization. "Sunny," Sideswipe muttered softly.

"Yeah?"

"If she falls, it would kill her, wouldn't it?"

"Yeah, Sides. It would."

As Sunstreaker looked on to the scene before him, a feeling of dread filled his spark. Why hadn't he gotten to know that young femme that had stolen his brother's spark? He understood now, at that crucial point in time, that he should've just sucked up his insecurities and gotten to know her a little. For his brother's sake.

Surprising everybody, including himself, Sunstreaker let go of 'Sides and lunged toward Alaina right along with him. Sideswipe paused for a moment before doubling his efforts.

"Well, well, well, how the mighty have fallen," Starscream sneered. "What's this, now? The human-hating Sunstreaker has become attached to the fleshy?" He snatched the hostage from Megatron, squeezing her tightly and making her cry out in pain. "We can't have that now, can we?" Slowly, he loosened his grip on her.

And she fell.

A/N: God, I feel terrible. This is my shortest chapter, EVER! But I've had two people tell me, shorter chapters, quicker updates, so that's what it'll be unless I get asked otherwise. IT WILL BE ENDING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF CHAPTERS. Don't know when. Won't go past 15, I know that. Depends on how long I decide to make them, really.

But, review, and tell me what you think! I always reply, and they make me happy ^_^ More reviews means that I write more, and therefore update quicker...
