I hope he'll be okay., maybe the big bot had grown on Saffron. All of them had, really. Though, Bee was still her most precious. Head in the game, Ronnie, head in the game!, she demanded of herself. The street they came out on was demolished as well. Though, there was no fighting. She glanced to Sam, pointing to his phone.
"Block over." he gestured ahead of them. Suddenly, his phone started acting up again and he grabbed his baby sisters arm, pulling her down to press against a car side. They held their breaths, looking skyward and side to side. A loud rumble echoed as a F-22 streaming by, only to shift in mid-air. Starscream landed at the end of the street, whipping around to fire on the two Autobots that came after him. Ironhide and Rachet. He moved toward them, kicking cars out of the way. Almost unknowingly took the Witwicky siblings out.
Rachet and Ironhide saw sibling duo scurry to another hiding spot. Feeling their optics, Saffron poked her head in the area but made sure to stay out of the Decepticons view. She pointed to the bad bot, making a pushing motion. Then she pointed to herself and Sam, made a jumping motion and shook the cube. 'Push him back, we'll almost to the bank'. They nodded in understanding and began shooting, forcing Starscream back. The two humans watched, waiting for the perfect time and it came when Ironhide blasted the Decepticons 2nd in command. He stumbled back, tripping over cars to collapse. Out of view. Chance!, singing in her mind, the made a break for it. All this running around, makes me want to get in shape.
When they reached the safety of the next building, only then did they pause. They needed a quick breather. "Damn, these guys are all over the place." she muttered, leaning her head back to try and catch her breathe.
"Well...it is a war." Sam pointed out, earning himself a glare. His hands went up by his head in a peaceful manner. "Let's just get this over with."
"Fine, fine." a hand ran down her face as the other brought his phone up. Where they were was a blinking yellow light and their destination was a red, solid one. Address displayed off to the side. Like Sam had said. A block away. So close, it's almost over., sliding from their hiding spots, they trudged down the street. One with their eyes and ears out for anything strange. The other with their eyes glued to the GPS. When they came out at a intersection, they looked left and right. About three doors down was the bank they sought. Fuck yah!, grabbing Sam's arm, she directed him toward the building and he smiled, nodding. One step out and they were faced with a very real problem, a second time. Megatron. He just appeared, like air, before them. Was his fight with Optimis already over? Is big bot okay?
"Give me the cube girl and maybe I'll keep the two of you as my pets." he sneered down at the squishy organisms.
Both sets of hazel green eyes narrowed on him. "Over my dead body, you over grown, washed up, glorified toaster!" there her mouth went again, causing more trouble.
"Oh, so sad." it's amazing just how truly sorry he can sound when the one he's talking to, knows he's lying. He lunged forward and the duo split, tossing the cube back and forth when he made to grab whoever had it, and dodge. It was like playing a game of keep away, a very dangerous, 'humankind riding on it's safety' game of keep away.
Like all good games, it to came to an end. With one more swing, he caught them and off he zoomed toward a building. Tall with white stature's on each corner. Got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach., Saffron frowned then winched when the hand clasping her tightly, squeezed. "Owi, you son of a bitch!"
"Give me the cube, or I'll squish the fleshy." to prove a point, Sam cried out as he applied force.
I can't give him the cube!, eyes snapped between the two males. Sam tried yelling but could barely get the air in he needed for short breaths. But his eyes screamed it all. 'Don't give it to him!' He understood what was at stake. She had one trick, that might give her kind and the Autobots a chance. "Sam-ooooooough!"
"Come on fleshy!" the Decepticon leader shook her.
"F-f-fuck...you!" twitching, she looked at the cube, snugly comfortable in her arms. Don't know if this will hurt you...but I am sorry either way., back to Sam, she made a shooting gesture toward his hand. she remembered seeing it as a vulnerable spot when she was looking through Project Iceman. He struggled to grip the gun tucked away. As he fished that out, Saffron pulled out her taser. "Do it!" both jammed their weapons in the cracks of armor in his hand and pulled the triggers.
The bullet ripped through wires and tubes, a blueish-green liquid pouring free...and right into Sam. Saffron, on the other hand, latched onto a set cables and pulled until their tore under the force. She to got some of the strange liquid on her. She had no idea what the wires did but it seemed like as good a place as any to tase. Unfortunately, being attached as they were, when the shock of the voltage passed through his body, it did theirs as well.
All three convulsed, shaking like a leaf in the wind. Megatron had no idea human made weapons could hurt so much. Neither released their hold, Sam on Megatron and Saffron on the cube and taser. She gripped the cube so hard, the entire inside of her arm was gauged with the old cybertion symbols. As well as her chest and side. Basically, wherever the cube was pressed against. Both humans hearts sputtered form the amount of electricity coursing through them. In his pain, Megatron flung his hands out, trying to rid the source of pain. Saffron went soaring, right over the ledge.
"SAFFRON! SAM!" she wasn't sure who screamed her name, it was to distant and it seemed like everything was fading. She couldn't even scream.
It was all over. The battle between Autobots and Decepticon. The fight for the Allspark. The cube was gone...but none of that mattered to Mick, as he shoved people out of his way. Toward where he seen Saffron fall. It had stunned him to see his best friend and her brother in the claws of Megatron. To watch her be thrown over the edge, like she was a pieces of trash...his heart stopped. Literally stopped for a second. He wasn't sure what happened on that roof, could only guess by the jerky moves, but he needed to get to Saffron. "Move!" slipping pass a couple army guys, they tried to grab him but he just ducked them. "Saffron! Sam!"
He stopped dead when seeing Optimus coming toward the gathered humans. His hands were cupped around something and as he stopped in front of Mick, opened it. Sam was on the palm, alive and well, after Rachet had brought him back because of the taser shock. Saffron was in his arms, limp. "R-r-ronnie." dropping to her side, he reached for a hand. It was...cool to the touch.
"I-I-I...mom and dad..." Sam broke into sobs over his lifeless little sister, holding her to his chest.
"W-w-what happened?" Mick muttered, sitting back on his heels and paling. Sam muttered, very low, 'Taser' and the blonde understood. She used the taser to stop Megatron. ..that stupid fucking taser!, tears leaked from his eyes now.
"R-R-Rachet was able to get to me in time...I shoved the cube in Megatron's chest but...Saffron...it was to late."
Not yet child. There are things for you to do. A destiny waiting to unfold. Wake.
Saffron's eyes popped open at the voice and for a split second, three coma's spun in them, swirling electric blue with the normal green hazel before fading back to normal. Her mouth opened only to snap shut just as quick. A jolt shot through her body, like she was getting shocked back to life. Her chest arched up, heart suddenly slamming against her chest rapidly, and back leaving the ground. "Fffffffuck, I hurt." the soft cry was strangled.
"Saffron?!" Sam pulled back, looking down at her.
The corner of her lips turned up and he started crying again. This time in relief. Turning her head to see Mick, she reached out for his hand. He took it, smiling watery. "Guys...don't tell mama and daddy about this. They'll flip."
With the all spark gone we can not return life to our planet. Faith has healed in its reward. A new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight but watching over them in secret waiting, protecting.
I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are world apart, like us, there is more to them that meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars, we are here, we are waiting.
