I made sure my phone had a strong signal and I hoped that Bee or Prime or someone would be able to find me if they traced it while I called Alisha's phone. I knew she wouldn't answer so it didn't surprise me when it went to voicemail. I sighed and laid on the top of the car while Ky was inside a sandwich shop.

I closed my eyes and said nothing as the voicemail recorded every background noise it heard. I couldn't say anything. What could I say? I hung up the phone after a few minutes.

As the doors opened and closed to the shop I caught snippets of the news of Canada. The small town went into a panic and under a type of military lockdown.

I'm sorry, I apologized silently as if I were the one who caused the lockdown.

Air rushed onto my face and I shot up, turned around and pointed the gun that was strapped around my shoulder. Bee jumped a little at the sudden hostility. "Bee!" I smiled from ear to ear. "You were able to find me!"

Bee made a worried sound.

"He was worried sick about ya." Crosshair voice was as recognizable as anyone else's behind me. When I turned I became even more excited to see everybody else. Prime, Crosshair, Hound, and Drift seemed to hide shamefully behind all of them. I was relieved to find that Primus was not among them. Unlike Bee they were smart enough to stay in their car forms. Before Ky could come out Bee dropped me and transformed. I landed on my feet for once.

"A yellow car," Ky nodded at Bee. "So you found him, huh?"

"Yeah." I took my sandwich from him. "Thanks for everything but we gotta go."

"Go where?"

"Don't know yet but we'll figure it out." I walked to Bee but Ky stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I could visibly see Bee tense. "Ky, thanks for your help, really, but we don't need any more help."

"I'm coming with you. I'm not missing any action. Plus I need to ditch this car. It wasn't mine."

I opened my mouth to yell but all that came out was awkward noises and I twitched from the energy I used to not strangle him. Finally I yelled but he covered my mouth to keep it quiet. "I helped you steal a car?!"

"Yes," he admitted sheepishly.

I pointed at Crosshair. "You're going with him," I muttered through his hand. He took it away and we grabbed our things from the car we stole. I got in Bee.

Ky approached the driver's window so I rolled it down.

"There's nobody in there." His eyebrows knitted neatly together.

"Then take the drivers seat. Crosshair is an excellent driver." Upon his confused look I added, "Oh yeah. This is Bee, that's Hound, Drift, Crosshair, and Optimus Prime. They're all transformers but they don't help police either. They're the good guys, though."

I lost him in his thoughts at the sound of 'transformer.' Ky's face brightened and he practically flew into Crosshair. I couldn't help but laugh as Bee rolled up the window and we followed Prime out from the city.

"Okay, fill me in, bud."

Bee filled me in the best he could. He told me of their second confrontation with Unicron and how much that failed and he told me of how Primus and Derek seemed to have simply disappeared, though they suspect they may be in an area with very little contact of any life in general. He also explained how they think they've found Unicron's location.

We didn't stop and allow them to transform until the sun went down and we were in the middle of nowhere. Their speed still baffled me to this day. Crosshair held Ky by his foot when he transformed.

"Did we really have to bring this guy? He's just one more thing to babysit." He complained while Ky kicked his hand to let him go.

Prime looked like he was going to agree with him but I quickly interjected. "He insisted and he helped me escape silently. You all saw it on the news. He seems like an…an okay guy to keep around."

"Boy, thanks for vouching for me." Ky made it obvious it was sarcasm, which warranted a type of game between Hound and Crosshair that involved throwing Ky like a ball. I laughed with Bee.

When Drift stepped in front of us I stopped. He kneeled with an aura of shame surrounding his entire being. "I am so sorry. I could not protect Alisha," he admitted quietly.

"I know. I don't blame you. Besides we're going to get her back…we are going to get her back right, Prime?"

Prime nodded. "Yes but it should be soon. While Unicron is still weak."

"We need to rest first, though," I insisted. Everyone was tired. Rest was a great idea for everyone else. After a few minutes of throwing Crosshair and Hound became tired and Ky became so sick he passed out after puking. Within hours everyone else was asleep except for me.

I watched the stars, leaning against Bee. The stairs twinkled in a billion different types of lights and a milky set of stars painted the purple sky.

I kept the Quill in my back pocket and the Covenant I held like it was a precious gem. Somehow I became drunk on its power. I didn't want to get rid of it but I didn't want to keep it either.

A streak went across the sky. Another one followed soon after. At first I thought it was a shooting star but they were too scattered to be shooting stars and shot in random directions.

I moved as Bee turned over in his sleep. I couldn't help but smile. He seemed so peaceful and he reminded me of Alisha. I turned back around and suddenly I felt a sharp pain go through my forehead and I fell into a sea of darkness.
