As Carly finally began to come to after what seemed like she had slept forever, she was shocked to see what she saw when she was finally awake. The city of Chicago wasn't even a city anymore. In fact, it was worse than ground zero. It was actually terrifying to look at. Buildings and skyscrapers weren't even building anymore. They were broken, mangled and even some of them were completely gone. Debris, cars and even dismantled trains were scattered through out the streets of this once working city, which was now over ruled by Decepticons. This, this is what Optimus was trying to prevent, Carly couldn't help but to think as she peered out over the city. And as she was standing in front of the window as she gazed out over the city, she was even terrified to stand that close to the glass…as she could only imagine what could happen.

And as she made her way through the floor that she was on in to what appeared to be the only standing building left, she noticed that not even Dylan was anywhere to be found. 'What, did they just leave me!' Carly couldn't help but to ask as she just took a seat on a plush couch that was set up in a small seating area. However, suddenly she heard the sound of a gunshot and then the startling sound of glass shattering. Of course she thought the worst as she carefully started to make her way to where the sound of the gun shot came from, then suddenly, it was like everyone came out from no where. Bodyguards soon surrounded Carly as they tried to direct her to somewhere other than where she wanted to go. And then Dylan just happened to make himself present within all the commotion. But then, unexpectedly Carly heard the unthinkable. She heard the sound of Optimus's voice! But that couldn't have been, right? She was still dreaming, wasn't she! But the truth of the matter was that she in fact WASN'T DREAMING. Everything was real and she damn well knew she heard the sound of Optimus's voice. She knew that voice anywhere!

"Where is she! Where's Carly damn it!" She heard Optimus question.

And, as soon as she heard him, she turned her head to only see Optimus through the broad shoulders of the bodyguards that walked behind her. How, how was he standing there pointing a weapon at Dylan…HOW! Carly couldn't help but to frantically ask herself as she just broke away from the bodyguards and desperately made her way her way towards Optimus.

"OPTIMUS!" Carly shrieked as he caught her in his arms as she practically over shot him through the excitement that he was actually ALIVE!

"There's no time to explain now, Bumblebee is waiting outside. Just go…I'll be there shortly…"

"No, I'm not leaving without you!" Carly shakingly tried to explain as Optimus took a hold of her.

"Just go!" Optimus demanded. She knew she wasn't going to be able to argue with him as she just did as she was told.

"Well, well, well…Optimus Prime…in the human flesh…" Was all Dylan said as he made the first attempt to speak.

"Just shut the fuck up! Its taking everything I have not to kill you right now!" Optimus replied.

"OPTIMUS JUST COME HERE! You can deal with him later, there's more important things to take care of, just come on!" Carly cried as Bumblebee was having a hard time keeping the spacecraft steady and under control as he waited for Optimus.

"You're just fucking lucky!" Optimus told Dylan as he soon joined Carly and Bumblebee.

And once Optimus was safely adored the spacecraft, Bumblebee tried to land the spacecraft carefully. Well…he at least tried to anyway. He couldn't help but to think as Optimus helped Carly to the ground as Bumblebee somewhat landed the thing.

"Optimus, how is this possible! How are you even here! I watched Starscream…"

"We were never on the spacecraft. We never boarded it." He tried to explain.

"That's impossible, I watched you board it! How did you even know I was here anyway?" Carly couldn't help but to question.

"We never did. We just made it look like we did. And I used the coordinates from your cell phone…and plus…I always know where you are." Optimus softly explained as he brushed his hand against the skin of Carly's cheek.

This was all impossible. Carly couldn't help but to think as she looked at each and every Autobot that slowly made themselves present.

"That was our plan to fool the Decepticons into thinking we had gone." Ironhide explained.

"And now I hope your leaders realize that the plan to exile us was a mistake, that we need to be here…" Optimus replied as he took Carly into his arms.

"But I don't…"

"Carly, it was our plan all along. You don't actually think we were going to leave your planet and let the Decepticons take over…do you? That's what we've been trying to prevent all along. And besides, you don't think I noticed that Decepticon attached to you when we were, 'saying our goodbye's…do you? I noticed it and saw it on your wrist…I saw the pain in your face…I saw it all Carly. Why do you think I told you there was no plan? I knew you were in pain then, I couldn't let you get hurt…not now…not ever! I couldn't live with myself if you ever got hurt. A main reason to protect this planet…is you…I couldn't let anything…anything happen to you on my behalf…that's why I lied…I had to…to protect you…and this planet." Optimus explained.

Even though Optimus just explained himself, Carly still had a hard time processing it all. But either way, she didn't care. She was just glad that Optimus found her and he and the rest of the Autobots were safe. Carly couldn't help but to think as she snuggled closer to Optimus, in which he couldn't help but to place his index finger under her chin so that he could look into her eyes.

"You know I wouldn't let anything happen to you." He told her as he couldn't help but to just hold Carly in arms.

Even in all of this destruction, this horror that this planet was slowly being consumed by the Decepticons…there was still hope. Standing there on the grounds of Chicago that was being destroyed as they stood there standing in each others arms…there was still hope now knowing that the Autobots had never left. And as the Decepticons above them continued to destroy the city, Optimus just couldn't help but to take Carly in his arms. He just couldn't help himself because he was just relieved that she was safe after Dylan kidnapped her. Optimus thought to himself as he still tightly held her in his arms.

She felt a powerful outburst of affection overcoming her. Her heart beat heavily as she slowly elevated herself by standing on her toes and stared into his beautiful blue eyes, almost pleadingly, trying to communicate her desire to be consumed by him, after knowing the Autobots had never left. He stared back, and apparently understood her feelings, drew closer to her. She closed her eyes, her lips parted slightly, awaiting that which she had been longing for…longing for after she heard the sound of the gunshot and the vision of him standing before her as he saved her from Dylan's presences.

A few seconds passed before their lips finally met. They kissed passionately, holding each other in their warm embrace, expressing their unspoken love even through the downfall of Chicago that was taking place around them within their kiss. After what felt like eons to her and to even Optimus, their mouths finally parted, and their eyes finally met. They continued to hold each other, silently staring into each others eyes. Even as Decepticon warships flew in the sky above their very heads, Optimus softly planted a warm kiss on Carly's head and at that very second…he knew it was time to take the battle to them.

"I-I still can't believe you're here. You promised me you'd never leave me!" Carly couldn't help but to cry out as her and Optimus finally parted.

"A necessary move I had to make for your own protection. I will never make the same mistake again. You know I would never leave you on purpose." Optimus told her as he brushed his fingers against the skin of her cheek.

"You promise?" She questioned.

"I promise I will never leave you…"

"I'm going to hold you to that." Carly told him as she wrapped her hands around his neck as she laced her own fingers together.

"As you should." He told her as they finally parted.

And as he looked between the demolition of Chicago, the Autobots and to Carly…he knew it was time. There was no more time that could have been wasted.

"Today…in the name of freedom…we take the battle them!..."
