Holly screamed as Barricade went to grab her. She fell to the floor, and tried to get back on her feet and run. But she was too scared to think about what she was doing, and kept tripping up and falling back to the floor. Sideways saw a silver Citron C4 racing towards them, and he pulled out his sniper rifle. He charged it up, and fired on the car. The Citron swerved to avoid the fire, and began to transform. Longarm jumped in the air, and pulled out a small blade under his arm. He landed behind Sideways, kicking him to the floor before throwing himself into Barricade. Holly had just moved out of the way of the robots, but couldn't make it inside because of the brawl going on. She wondered for a split second why no one was woken up by the noise they were making. Barricade swung at Longarm, who grabbed Barricade s arm. Sideways got back to his feet and deployed his Slag Repeater, and fired on Longarm. The Autobot Swung Barricade around, using him as a shield. Barricade shouted in pain as he was struck by thousands of bullets. "WATCH WHERE YOUR FIRING THAT THING" he shouted Holly was now petrified, she was seeing three massive, walking talking robots fighting each other. She then looked up to see an F-18 flying across the sky, seemingly firing missiles at the robots. Explosions erupted everywhere as the missiles hit the ground. Holly backed further away from the robots, and tried to make her way around the battle. Sideways charged at Longarm, charging up his saw like weapons on his hands. Longarm blocked Sideways's attack with his arm, but the Autobot was not strong enough to hold his position, and was thrown to the floor. Barricade made a few quick modifications to his hand and deployed his weapon, and swung at Longarm, sending him flying down the street. But both of the Decepticons attentions were drawn to three more cars that were heading their way. One of the cars was a yellow Camaro, the second being a silver Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the final one being a blue police car. All three transformed, and attacked the two Decepticons, to Holly s relief. "Eat this Decepticon Punk" Bumblebee shouted as he jumped over Barricade, firing a barrage of missiles.
Sideswipe skated towards Sideways, while Streetwise went to cover Longarm, who was now back on his feet. Sideswipe sliced at Sideways, making contact with his shoulder, and then followed through by stabbing him in the back. Bumblebee pulled out his battle-axe and blocked Barricade strikes, before spinning around, hitting the Decepticon to the ground. Streetwise then jumped in, firing his burst fire guns at Barricade, while Longarm went to help Sideswipe. Sideways smashed into Longarm, picked him up by the leg and through him into Sideswipe "You are no match for me" Sideways gloated The F-18 that had fired on the robots earlier came back for another pass, but this time flew a lot more lower. The F-18 was painted black, and had a purple trim on the wings. The F-18 transformed, landed on the ground and then used the jets on its back to jump over the battle, and fired missiles in machine gun fashion. Streetwise found the massive amount of missiles impossible to dodge, and was blasted to the floor. Bumblebee kicked Barricade to the ground, and ran at the F-18. "Eat this Skywarp" Bumblee shouted, as he unleashed an EMP burst, stopping the Decepticon in his tracks.
Bumblebee turned his arm into a solar cannon, and shot at the now immobilised Decepticon. Holly had found a path back to her house, and ran for it. As she drew near, she heard the sound of a Helicopter coming from behind the house. The house suddenly blew up as Blackout came smashing through it. Blackout towered over everything, and scared Holly to hell. Tears began running down Holly s face as she saw her house destroyed. Blackout went to grab her, but Streetwise jumped over Holly and faced Blackout.
"Run little one, get to safety" Streetwise shouted Holly scrambled to her feet and ran to the next safest place she knew, Rebecca s. Blackout fired on Streetwise with his Gatling gun, then firing his chest cannon, sending him flying. People had now heard the destruction that was going on, and began fleeing from the battle. Skywarp fired his machine gun at bumblebee, while Barricade smashed him with his weapons. Sideswipe pulled away from his battle with Sideways to engage Blackout, but was quickly defeated with the Energon Wave Cannon. Longarm also had little success, he was too small to fight Blackout, and was also shot by the Wave cannon. Holly was now at the top of the street, and Blackout was not going to chase her, fearing that all the other Autobots would chase him down. Instead, he raised his back propellers and unleashed Skorpanok, who dug into the ground and followed. Longarm also transformed to try and catch up with the child. Streetwise charged Blackout, this time using a Strobe Pulse to blind the Decepticon. With Blackout blinded, Streetwise shot his scatter missiles, but they did little damage. Blackout fired his Gatling gun at the small Autobot, who dodged to the right while bumblebee came from the left and fired his missiles. Blackout staggered backwards, nearly crushing another house. Skywarp transformed back into a jet and flew into the air, and then transformed again and fired his repeater missiles at Sideswipe. Sideways, seeing that he could not cope with so many Autobots on his own, transformed when everyone was on Blackout and fled. Barricade also noticed Holly making a runner, so he also gave chase.

Rebecca and Danny were running in the opposite direction to everyone else. They both wondered what was going on and went to see if Holly was ok. As they turned into Holly s street, she ran into them, not looking were she was going.
"Holly?" Rebecca said, getting to her feet Holly had tears streaming down her face, and was crying so much that she could not get any words out of her mouth. "Holly? You ok" Danny asked "What does it look like idiot" Rebecca replied Holly was tired out, and collapsed to the floor. Rebecca and Danny tried to get her back on her feet "We need to get out of here" Rebecca said They both slowly got Holly moving again, but Skorpanok smashed through the ground in front of them and raised his tail above himself "What the hell" Danny said "I think it s time to go" Rebecca said quietly But they were both petrified by the Robot, and wouldn't dare make a move. Longarm then came crashing into the giant scorpion. The back door of the Citron then opened on its own "Get in" a voice said from inside the car Rebecca proceeded to go into the car with Holly. Danny didn't move.
"What are you doing, we can t go in with it" He said "It just saved our lives, i think we're safer in here then we are out there" Rebecca replied When he heard a massive explosion behind him, he decided to get in. As he closed the door, the Citron sped off. Barricade quickly followed, but was soon broadsided by Sideswipe, whose car was much faster. All the Autobots had transformed back into their vehicles, and were making a getaway. Skywarp flew over-head, firing missiles at the cars, but they were too fast and he couldn t get a good lock on. Blackout was also flying after them, but was letting Skywarp do all the hard work. Bumblebee moved ahead of the convoy of cars to scout ahead, but when he took a right turn he ran into three construction Vehicles. One was a green Caterpillar 773B dump truck, the second was a black and silver Mack concrete mixer truck and the final one and the largest was a Terex O&K RH400 Excavator. Bumblebee made a skid as he turned around.
"DONT GO DOWN THAT WAY" he shouted to the others.
The Autobots made a detour out of the city via an underground tunnel, forcing Skywarp and Blackout to pull away from the fight, but Long Haul, Mixmaster, and Demolisher were still on their tails.

The tunnel was incredibly long, but gave Holly the time to calm down, but she still couldn't get over the fact her entire family had more than likely been killed. Rebecca and Danny had tried their best to help her, but they knew she may not recover from her loss. Holly was not the most popular girl in the school, her only friends being Danny and Rebecca. Holly had relied on her parents for comfort when things weren t going well; one of the times that she would never shake was when she was assaulted by teenagers when she was only eight. The incident left her with a broken arm and her head cracked open. This was the only time Holly had been more scared then that in her life, and that incident took months for her to recover from. Rebecca was still wondering why the Giant robots were after them, but the robot car knew nothing, frustrating her, for all they knew they could be kidnapped. After about twenty minutes, the tunnel came to an end and they were far outside the city. "Where are you taking us?" Danny asked Longarm "To San Francisco, were regrouping with the others" the radio crackled "Others?" Rebecca said She was still comforting Holly, who was now wiping away her tears. She had to be brave, she told herself; it s what her dad always told her when times were hard. This was as hard as it was going to get.
"Is San Francisco safe?" Holly asked, it was the first thing she had said since the Decepticons attacked "I m afraid not, I m guessing the Decepticons are tracking us" Longarm replied "Tracking? Decepticons? Others? What s going on?" Holly asked "I don t know what s going on, hopefully Optimus will know"
Holly knew that if she asked who Optimus was, she would get the answer she wanted. "You feeling alright" Rebecca asked, she knew she wasn't but she had to say something Holly shook her head "My home is gone, my family killed... "You don t know that, they could have made it out before that robot arrived" Rebecca said softly Rebecca knew how to comfort Holly as well, as she was always the second person she would turn to for help, after her parents. It had been that way since Kindergarten, where they both first met. Holly now felt partially better, but she still thought deep inside that she only had Rebecca and Danny left. Danny looked out the back window.
"Err, we have company" Danny said Both Holly and Rebecca looked out the back, to see in the distance a giant wheelbot racing down the street towards them, crushing everything in its path
