The hospital finally agreed to discharge me after a week of recovery. I waited outside for Bee with Ky and Sam. I rocked on the balls of my feet and hummed softly to myself. Sam and Ky stood as far away from each other as they could. All week they hadn't gotten along since Ky yelled at Sam and Cade.

In the distance I could see someone, but it wasn't Bee. As it came closer I recognized it as Drift and only because it didn't look like it was driving on the ground.

When he landed we got in. "Where's Bee and Prime?"

"They decided to stay behind," Drift explained as he took to the air.

I frowned a little. I had hoped Bee would've picked us up but I tried not to voice out my complaints too much. So instead I watched out the window and I watched the ground and I rubbed my stump. Sometimes I could still swear I felt my hand so when I looked at it, well, I tried not to look at it.

The Quill poked my thigh through my pocket and the Covenant I insisted Sam keep in his little military-like backpack until we saw Bee again. No use keeping it with me now.

The ground beneath us rushed and blurred and, for a moment, changed color. I tried looking back but it had disappeared too quickly so I ignored it and watched the earth again. Soon, though, we jerked forward.

"What was that?" Ky demanded.

I looked behind us. Drift was being dragged down by Unicron who held onto his back. Before I could tell the others Drift transformed and threw us as far away as he could without harming the boys. However, I could feel the stitches in my knee start to pull a little. I gasped in pain but fought through it to sit up.

Drift had a fearful but almost sad look to his eyes. He wanted us to run. As Unicron went to strike him down Drift was able to turn on his back and block him. The boys tried to drag me but they only dragged me so far. I couldn't hear them yelling for me to hurry and run.

Drift stabbed Unicron but he only laughed and dodged the attack enough so that only his arm was severed and Unicron brought down his own sword.

I couldn't scream. I stared in disbelief as I watched the transformer who was supposed to protect my sister die before my eyes. How could I not predict this? How did I not see this in our future?

My spirit seemed to return to me as I gasped for air. I didn't even notice that I wasn't breathing. Then Unicron looked up at us. "He's going to kill us." I told them.

"Why do you think we're telling you to run!" Ky yelled and dragged me to my feet. I turned and we sprinted forward. I didn't want to leave Drift but I couldn't allow someone to kill me here and now. Now that I was going back. I wasn't going to die right after I recovered from the hospital visit. I wasn't going to die now that Bee and Prime were back. I wasn't going to die now that I found Ky.

The earth shook with each step Unicron took. It slowed me a little. I could feel a droplet run down my leg from the back of my knee but I had no time to check if it was blood or if it was sweat.

Unicron easily stepped in front of us but while the boys stopped I ran towards him and under him but was soon stopped when his foot moved in my path. He was going to play with us like a cat plays with a mouse. I looked up at him.

"I don't need you any more. You should've just written," he pointed his weapon at me, "the future. I would've let you live then."

I laughed darkly. "If that isn't the biggest lie I've heard I don't know what is." I wasn't afraid of him anymore. His evil aura wrapped around me like a blanket of ice but I no longer was afraid of the cold and I wasn't afraid of the dark. "Kill me!" I challenged him.

"If you insist." He thrust the sword. I closed my eyes tightly, expecting it to hit me but it never came. I opened my eyes to see Primus. He blocked Unicron's sword with his own. I met the boys' eyes and we took off running behind Primus. Behind him was Bee and Prime and Crosshair and Hound. We ran to them. Alisha came into view with the Forge in hand.

"I see you're almost at your full strength. You wanted to test your strength so you attacked Drift. That was the reason for this attack…"

It wasn't a question but Unicron answered. "I see you aren't anywhere near my level of strength, as usual. You never were, which is why you made the Thirteen." Unicron and Primus circled each other.

I hid behind Bee and now I was able to look at the blood running down the back of my leg. "Alisha," I didn't need words to tell her what I needed. She wrapped my leg in the gauze she stuffed in her pocket.

Primus attacked first but Unicron blocked it.

"We have to help!" Crosshair announced.

"No, this is my battle," Primus declared.

His distraction lead to an opening for Unicron that he gladly took. Primus fell to his knees. "This is too easy."

Primus knew something I didn't. Alisha handed me the alien gun I carried around so fondly. I looked at her. "Hold it for me here," I showed her where I would put my right hand and she became my right hand. I aimed and shot at Unicron's head as he brought down his sword to end Primus.

Despite Alisha's unsteady hand I hit Unicron but only in the shoulder. Primus took this opportunity to run his sword through. Something didn't feel right to me. As Unicron fell I could still feel his presence, his evil aura tainted the air.

Everyone around me cheered. When Drift's body was remembered the cheering turned to mourning. I couldn't mourn with them. Had anybody else died I think I would shed some tears.

Alisha ran over to Drift's body and screamed and sobbed. Sam put a heavy hand on both of her shoulders in a way of comfort and the autobots stood around the samurai's body. Ky and I stayed at our places, unmoving.

"What is it?" Ky put a hand on my shoulder.

"It's not over." I whispered. "He's still here. Unicron is…he will come back. I feel it."

Alisha insisted on burying the autobot at her house but Prime insisted on planting his body in the middle of nowhere. Primus took Unicron's body to the nearest star, our sun. However this revelation didn't at all make me feel better.

Bee and Sam never had their happy reunion. Sam had to go back to help Cade with my new hand so while Sam left us Bee, Prime, Crosshair, and Hound caravanned home. Ky reluctantly rode with Hound while I rode with Bee. The evil feeling wouldn't leave me even at home. He was still here. But where?
