Our U.S. Army lurched toward the andriod soldiers. At the infinite beginning of the fight, the army immediately assailed them, knocking them to the ground, striking them in the chest with their guns, and tackling them to the ground. Our army was strong enough for us and they risk heir lives for our country.

"Let's help them," said Jesse.

The six of us urgently joined the fight by knocking every android that got in our way to the ground.

For me, every other andriod that tried to take me down, I snapped their necks or upper body. I angrily punched and kicked them.

Rory, Erica, and Jesse struck them in any violent way possible. Jesse, with the envy of avenging his love, Fallon, swung his arm at them, ripping off their heads, arms, and legs. His broken heart and deep sadness let out his anger on all of them.

Benny blasted lightning at his opponents. Ethan telekinetically slammed his opponents against each other killing them and destroying each and every one.

Precipitously, the crashing waves rose high and crashed down near us. A figure appeared from the gloomy water. It looked like a woman…with facial scars.

"Fallon?" I shrieked. She's alive! "How?"

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," she answered. "Jesse! It's me. Fallon! I'm alive!"

Jesse responded to Fallon's screaming. His face lit up like a light bulb. Her mouth curled into a smile as he breathed, "Fallon."

"I'm not leaving you ever," she said.

"I knew you wouldn't."

Fallon joined us in the fight for our lives. She was very good at fighting. She was like Erica with her cat-like agility and elegant stance unlike Rory and Jesse's untamed, animalistic moves. Ethan continued to attack his opponents with his telekinesis.

The army soldiers continued to beat the androids to their deaths. Some of our soldiers were injured but they were still able to fight.

Stern, who was still in the back, looked around shocked about his defeated army. On his metal helmet looked like a blue jewel—the Optimus!

"Ethan, he has the Optimus jewel," I said. "Destroy it now!"

Ethan lurched toward Stern. Stern lifted his arm up at Ethan. Ethan abruptly drop to his knees in agony.

"You know, Ethan," Stern said calmly. "Optimus and Phoenix are brothers."

"I'm well aware of that," grunted Ethan.

"Optimus, starchild of galaxy, but Phoenix is starchild of the universe which is bigger than the galaxy."

"Which makes you weak."

"You are so pathetic and ridiculous yet powerful. Too powerful."

"What are you saying?"

"Join me."

"What?"

"Join me and together we can rule this entire world."

"I rather die."

"I will be Optimus forever!" Stern laughed menacingly

"For all eternity, dumbass," yelled Ethan.

"Very well then. There's a dark side in everybody, Ethan, and I am determined to bring it out of you. Your friends are too important to you. I shall make short work of them. You won the battle, but you're about to lose the war."

Stern lifted up his arm. The Golden Gate Bridge started shaking. What is he doing? The bridge floated up into the air by itself aiming at the crowd of the U.S. Army and our friends.

Ethan's head snapped back and yelled, "No!"

Before the bridge could fall on our friends, Ethan reached out his hand to them. The bridge stopped a few feet above them and quickly floated back to the water.

Suddenly, two pairs of arms gripped both my arms and held me to my knees. Stern was in the back of me with his hand gripping my neck.

"Ethan!" I cried out.

He turned back and reached out to us. The Optimus jewel flew from Stern's helmet and into Ethan's palm.

"Give me that!" Stern demanded.

"Let her go or I'll smash it!"

"Smash it and her head comes off."

"Ethan, don't worry about me!" I cried.

"Shut up!" hissed Stern as he gripped my throat tighter.

Ethan looked at the jewel and looked at us. "If you give Sarah back… I'll give you the Optimus."

"I don't trust you. If I give her back, you're just going to smash it. Jewel first."

"No, if I do, you're still going to kill her. Sarah first."

"No, jewel."

"I won't give it to you unless you give her back. We trade at the same time."

"I'll be fine with that."

The guards let me go but Stern held my arms against my back. The both of them slowly walked towards each other and stopped.

Ethan stretched his arm out with the jewel, while Stern pushed me towards Ethan still gripping my arm. As they were close enough, Stern laid his palm on the jewel and Ethan grabbed my hand. At the moment, they both exchanged the jewel and me.

Ethan yanked me against his chest and I started crying. "What do we do now?" I quietly whimpered.

"He started it," he whispered. "And I will finish it."

At the split second, Ethan threw one arm over me and the arm in front and he flipped me to the back of him. Before I could question him on what he was doing, I turned around and Ethan telekinetically pushed me back. I went flying back toward our friends and gently fell on my back.

Once Ethan turned back, Stern threw his hands at Ethan and some kind of blue laser-like form came from his palms aiming at Ethan.

"No!" I screamed. Benny and Erica held me back.

Ethan waved his hands out in front of himself. The blue laser was suddenly blocked from Ethan. Somehow he was strong enough to hold the laser back with his telekinesis.

"Oh, my god," gasped Rory. "He's shielding it."

"This is not good," said Fallon. "It's too much power. He can't handle all of that."

Stern glanced at us. He threw his arm at us. Blue laser was aiming at us from us other hand while he was still shooting at Ethan. Before it could hit us, Ethan threw one of his arms at us shielding us from the laser beam. Poor Ethan shielding himself and us from the lasers of Stern.

"Too much!" screeched Fallon. "He can't hold on anymore! I know what Stern is doing!"

"What is it, Fallon?" I demanded. "What?!"

We all glanced at Ethan who was looking at us while still blocking the laser beams and shut his eyes. Out of the blue, an orange glowing mysteriously appeared covering Ethan. It wasn't a glowing. They were flames. Ethan's eyes shot open and they were no longer chocolate brown. They were fiery orange.

"What's happening?" asked Benny.

"The Phoenix," I mumbled.

Ethan looked distinctly at the flames surrounding him and screamed at the top of his lungs, "NOOOOOOO!"
