Upon seeing this rusty, looking, large Cybertronian shooting at the museum, Mirage panicked. He transformed quickly and armed his canon, knowing that Saphira was inside that building and being blasted at. He thought that this person was quite the coward, because the human has zero way to defend herself, and she now had to deal with the creepy, little guys that galloped into the museum and smashed through one of the windows into the lower level of the museum. Unfortunately, Mirage couldn't help her with that.
Mirage managed to shoot at the canon of the rusty, large Cybertrionian and get his attention. His orange optics glared at Mirage upon realizing that this girl had backup, and he had not been expecting it at all. "Uh…guys…" Mirage could hear Bumblebee, Mirage and Optimus approaching. "Any time now would be good, I can't take all three of these guys alone. And one of them looks super scary. They certainly are not decepticons!"
"We are here, Mirage!" Mirage turned his head and smiled as he saw Arcee and Bumblebee transforming, and arming their weapons as they run towards them. "No idea who the frag these guys are, but we need to protect the key and Saphira. Bee, with me!"
"Right behind you!" Bee responded through the radio, running towards the three bots as he narrowed his optics.
They run towards the enemy bots, shooting their canons as they knew they could not wait for them to start attacking. Optimus sped across the grass and parking lot before he transformed and ran towards the enemy. "Autobots! Protect both the key and Saphira!" He glanced at the larger bot, who was smirking as it seemed he was going to enjoy this. "I do not know who you are, or what you are doing here, but this is not your world."
"Heh, nor it is yours…" The dark, devious voice responded gleefully, watching Optimus arm his swords as he ran towards him. "And you are sweet on that little fleshling? This should be a lot of fun."
One of the other bots with broad shoulders and a bulky chassis swung his mace around and swung it out towards a stone column, which caused the mace to open and clamp onto the column. He pulled the column from the ruin and threw it at Optimus. Optimus narrowed his optics and cut through the column with his sword. He wanted to keep the leader focused on him so that the autobots could deal with his followers, though Optimus knew he did not know who this new enemy was.
Despite being unfamiliar with this new enemy, he was here for the key, and Optimus did not want to let him to get to it. And he would likely kill Saphira as well. Optimus raised his sword and swung it at the large bot, and he could not help but notice multiple Cybertronian badges on his shoulder, and it seemed that he was someone who liked to collect trophies. He could not help but feel disgusted by that, but he remained focused.
Though his swing seemed to be useless, as the bot dodged Optimus's swings, and he still had a smug expression on his face. He was clearly very used to fighting, and he has very good anticipation and reflex skills, which was not good, though Optimus was not about to give up. Especially as there was too much on the line right now, and he was not about to let his autobots and Saphira down by backing down. He kept swinging and observing this bot, while slowly getting more frustrated at the same time. Especially as the bot grabbed his wrist to block him and punched his face, causing Optimus to grunt loudly.
Bumblebee, Arcee and Mirage were keeping the other two bots busy. They were running and shooting at the bots, while also getting annoyed at the smug expressions on their faces. The bulkier bot swung his mace at Bumblebee, and he leaped over it. They found that keeping their feet moving while shooting at the bots was a good strategy at the moment, even though they were unfamiliar with them.
Though Mirage was engaged with the femme, and he was alarmed when she began to fly from the ground. "Oh, they're flying now?!" He fired at the femme who simply grinned at him, and flew around as she avoided the blasts he shot at her. "Who the hell are these guys?! They aren't decepticon or autobot, but they are Cybertronian."
"Who the hell cares?! Just shoot!" Bumblebee ducked as the mech swung his mace again, though he swung it higher, but Bee was able to duck and avoid the mace, and Arcee ducked as well, shooting at him. "These fools need to be destroyed so we can go home!"
Mirage nodded, arming both arms with blasters and shooting at the femme to try and get her to fall from the sky. He glanced at Optimus to see he was still fighting the larger mech, and he noticed that Prime was frustrated. Whoever these guys were, they were good at fighting, and that was not good. But they would do what they could until Saphira could get out. Though even if she got out of the museum, Saphira needed to get off the island and hide from these things. Mirage still didn't know how they knew the key was here as well.
Optimus grunts as his wrist was hit back from his target, with the blade scrapping along the ground, and he swung his body around, arming his other arm with his axe, in an attempt to slam the weapons into the mech's body. But as he tried to swing the axe at him, the mech grabbed his wrist and forced Optimus onto his knees with just one hand. "Impossible!" Optimus was surprised by how strong this mech was, and it worried him greatly.
The mech chuckled lightly with a grin. "I enjoy that look of confusion." Optimus narrowed his optics, glaring at the orange optics staring back at him. "When an inferior being meets a higher power." He kicked Optimus down onto the ground, ignoring an explosion behind him. "And yet, that should have been what it was when you met that human." Optimus grunts, looking at the mech angrily. "I noticed that, that human is female. Never would have thought a fleshling would get the optics of a mech…" He hummed in amusement. "But it will make this oh so much more fun to rip her flesh from her bones in front of your optics."
Meanwhile…
She continued to run down the stairs and slammed open the door when she reached the bottom floor. She looked around worryingly, and shrieked as she heard loud sounds of metal screeching and clanging from outside, and she could feel thumps in the ground, which was causing the building the shake around her. She guessed that Optimus and the other autobots were fighting these strangers who have showed up. She looked at the key in her hand for a moment before shoving it into her bag. She was certain that the key somehow signalled something, and that is why there was a fight happening outside the building.
And Saphira didn't really want to leave, but she really had the feeling that she was not alone in this building. Those things she had seen galloping towards the museum must be in here somewhere now, and she didn't know where they were. She grimaced as light from the blasts outside was light a bright spotlight shining on her, and she didn't particularly like it, as she didn't want to see what might be hiding in the darkness of the museum at this time.
What could I use as weapon in here? I didn't think I was going to need one…
Saphira looked around for anything that could be used as weapon, but she could not see anything. She knew she had to get out of the building, even though she wanted to remain and stay out of the fight that was happening right now outside. But remaining here would be just as bad. The building could easily get its foundations destroyed, and the whole thing could collapse in on itself, and crush her. And she didn't want to be here if and when that would happen.
Saphira tiptoed through the museum slowly and quietly, glancing around fearfully. She almost let out a yelp and hid down behind a counter when she heard a loud sound. She really did not want to be spotted by the creatures that were walking around. She could hear their feet clapping across the tile, and she could hear their claws hitting the tile as they walk. They hiss and chatter among themselves, and she did not know where they were.
She took a moment to peer over the counter, and she flinched as she could see their red optics glowing in the dark of the museum. At least she could see where they were. But she saw they were close. She ducked behind the counter again and began to crawl carefully, looking around for a possible way to get out. Though as she did, she heard the sound of one the creatures crawling on a wall. That was not good.
I should have known they could climb…of course…I am completely disadvantaged right now! If only this ring could turn into a weapon!
Saphira didn't even ask the autobots how things were going, because she could still hear the fighting. She almost shrieked when she heard and felt an explosion outside, but she made whimpering sounds, which she hoped the creatures did not hear. She continued to crawl to the end of the counter and peered around it. She didn't see anything, which was good. But when she went to look up, Saphira gasped as one of the creatures was looking right her.
"Oh, no, no, no!" Saphira scrambled to her feet to begin running, though the creature jumped in an attempt to tackle her. She screamed as she heard it crash into a glass exhibit, as the glass shattered very loudly. She glanced around very quickly to find something to hit it with. "This is not good…"
She turned and ducked, shrieking as the creature had lunged at her again, and she felt the claws just scratching at her back, ripping the jacket. She saw a fire extinguisher on the column in front of her, and she ran to grab it before swinging the cannister around, and slamming it on the creature's face. It hissed loudly and Saphira jumped as the second one jumped in front of her. She didn't know why, but she pulled the pin, and sprayed their faces with the wet chemical, covering their optics with the chemical.
They shriek and lunge forward to attack her, but she managed to run to the side and slammed the cannister of the extinguisher on the back of one of them, causing it to starfish on the ground, and Saphira turned to keep running. She knew that she had gotten lucky, but she didn't see a way out, until light from outside lit up the museum hall again and she spotted an emergency exit way. At least she wouldn't need to go out the front door now.
She ran towards the emergency exit, hoping that the creatures behind her would be blinded long enough for her to get out of the building. She yelped and gripped the railing as she stopped upon feeling another explosion outside the building, causing it to shudder, and she almost lost her footing. She did not want to break a leg going down the stairs. She resumed running down the stairs after a moment and she hoped it wasn't too far.
Though as she ran around to the second flight of stairs, the creatures jumped down and she yelped, hearing them hit the wall behind her. She glanced back and saw they had wiped the chemical from their eyes and they were angry at her. She didn't blame them, but she kept running. She reached the next level and she looked around for anything else that might be used as a weapon, but she couldn't see anything as she made a sharp left and ran through a set of doors.
She closed the door, and yelped as the creatures rammed through the glass, and she backed away from the door, avoiding their claws as they swipe at her. They hiss and she glanced around again before they lunge at her. She ducked as they leap over her, and she turned as they were now in between her and her way out. She whimpered softly as the bots turn and faced her, hissing and growling at her angrily.
Shit! What do I do now?! I don't have anything!
Saphira glanced around as she thought about backtracking, though she didn't know if that would do any good. She was no match for these bots, and they would likely kill her quite easily. But they were after the key, and she knew it, but that didn't mean they wouldn't kill her to get to it. She stared as they stalk towards her before glanced around again. They lunge, and she shrieked, ducking, though tensed as claws scraped her across the back of her neck, making her shudder because she felt the claws cut as they slam into the door behind her.
She took off running now that they were behind her again, and they scramble to run after her. She ran up another set of stairs, glancing at a door that seemed to lead to an exit. But with the bots close behind her, she knew that she was not going to get out. She spotted a couple of single chairs and she grabbed one, swinging it around and hitting both bots in the face. She yelped as the metal on the legs of the chair snapped upon impact, leaving her with two chair legs in her hand with sharp, pointed tips.
She grabbed another chair and swung it at them again, only hitting on successfully this time, sending it into the wall. But the second bot grabbed her by the shoulders, making her drop the chair as it forced her into the wall behind her. Saphira yelped as the bot ripped her jacket off and swiped at both of her shoulders, as she was slightly disorientated from the harsh shove into the wall. But she still had the legs in her hand.
Ignoring the pain in her shoulders, she shoved the broken legs into the bot's optics, breaking them upon impact. The bot screamed in pain, stumbling back while Saphira shoved the legs further into it's head. Though it began swiping, and managed to scratch her right arm, making her let go and she jumped to the side as it tried lunging. But she had the other bot to deal with as well, as it lunged at her.
She ducked and grabbed another chair, though she was forced to let go as she was grabbed and suddenly dragged away from it as the bot grabbing her ankles. She screamed and kicked, managing to get her ankles free from the bot and it swiped her legs, digging its claws into both legs, making her yelp in pain. She was about to get to her feet when the blinded bot behind her lunged, and tackled the other bot in front of her. She was surprised, but happy, as it gave her a chance to get to her feet and run to the exit.
Finally! I hope the autobots are okay…
She slammed the door open, almost tripping over her own feet, and she was confronted with seeing blasts being shot. She ran towards the front of the museum and came to a stop as Bumblebee had jumped to the side to avoid being shot, and she glanced around with wide eyes, noticing how much fire and destruction there was, and she had no idea on how she was going to get out of here. Especially since there was only one way in and out on foot.
She glanced around and spotted Optimus. She gasped as she saw he was fighting the largest of the three bots that had arrived before. She still did not know who these bots were, and she didn't know if these were decepticons. But as she has not had any time to ask any questions, she knew that she needed to try and get away. So far, none of them have seemed to have noticed her yet, as she looked around and ran over to a hedge to hide behind it and use it as cover so she could quickly make her way towards the road.
Ugh…I hope cops are not waiting at the other end of the road, because that will not be good at all…
"Scourge, I have eyes on the key." Saphira jumped and looked over the hedge to see that one of the bots had actually seen her, and he was staring at her right now. "And that little human is trying to scamper away with it."
Saphira glanced at Bee and Arcee as they look in her direction, and she realized she had been seen. She grunts, standing up and running to try and get away. She did not know where she could go yet, but she would do her best. She yelped and ducked as she heard another explosion, and debris flew over her head. Arcee and Bumblebee were positioning themselves between her and the bots at this time too.
The mech who had seen Saphira was walking in their direction, but Mirage shot him in the back and got his attention. "Prime! I don't think we can hold these guys! OOOHHHH!" Saphira yelped as the femme who had been flying around snatched Mirage from the ground, and flew up in the sky. "Put me down! Put me down!"
"Mirage!" Saphira screamed in alarm as the femme dove down and threw Mirage into the ground near Saphira, and the girl ran over to him. "Are you okay?!"
Mirage shook his head as he took deep intakes. "Woah…that was so scary!" He sat up quickly and looked around with a frown. "At least you're still alive, because Prime will likely beat all of us down otherwise." He stood up on his feet and looked around. "Sorry about the mess we are making here though."
Saphira rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. "And we need to get out of here!" She shrieked and ducked as a blaster fire shot over her head and Mirage began to fire back at the bots. "Who are these guys?"
"No idea. They aren't decepticons, so I have no idea where they came from." Mirage gasped and stepped in front of Saphira and grunts as a blast hits his shoulder. "Ugh! You need to get out of here!"
"Me? But I can't run far enough!" Saphira argued in surprise.
"Well, some of us need to protect you and keep you from being blown to ash! So scurry on with those little legs, and get out of here!" Mirage snapped at Saphira urgently, and she huffed, running around Mirage to get away.
She glanced towards Scourge, who she assumed was the largest of the bots, and saw him slammed a column against Optimus's face to hit him away. Scourge looked towards her and smirked at her. "So the maiden finally appears from the castle. Heh…" Saphira had no idea why he said that, but she realized that he must have realized something was between her and Optimus. And that was not good. "Get the key, and bring the girl to me."
Saphira yelped as she felt something landing on her back, and fell to the ground. Mirage turned and gasped as he saw that one of the creatures that Scourge had sent after her had caught her. "Saphira!" He ran over as Saphira tried to get away, while the creature bit her right shoulder, causing her to scream in pain. "Get off her, creepy crawly! I hate spiders!" Mirage kicked the bot off Saphira's back, though doing so, making its teeth rip some flesh from Saphira's shoulder and she yelped loudly. "Ooohhh…" Mirage saw that a lot of blood was bleeding from the wound and Saphira glared at him. "That wasn't meant to…" He turned in alarm for a moment and reached down to haul her to her feet. "RUN!"
Saphira turned to see the bulky mech was aiming at her, and she managed to run behind a set of ruins, and ducked as the mech began to shoot at her. She was surprised, because Scourge ordered the bots to bring the key and her to him. And she did not like that she was being shot at. And she grimaced as she crawled quickly behind the ruin, due to the pain she was feeling in her shoulder at this time. And as it was still bleeding a lot, she could smell the blood staining her clothes right now. But it was the least of her problems.
As she managed to crawl to the end of the ruin, she heard the sound of one of the bots. She glanced up and saw Arcee on top of the ruin. She had been dodging the fire of the mech, and she had been trying to distract the mech from shooting at Saphira as well. She was glad, and Arcee was shooting at the mech now. Saphira glanced ahead of her, and looked back at Arcee, feeling afraid to run, though she had to.
As she scrambled to her feet, Arcee glanced at her. "Go, Saphira! Get out of here! We will hold them off while you get out of here!"
Saphira ran ahead again, trying to not look back, though it was hard to not look back. She could hear the bots shooting at each other, and she could hear Optimus still fighting Scourge. She was really afraid of what was going to happen. She glanced back when she heard Arcee yelp after being hit with a blast. The femme managed to land on her feet, and refocused her fire power on the flying femme who was circling and watching from above.
"Uh, uh, uh…" Saphira heard the femme, and shivered as the voice sounded cold and dark when she spoke. "Leaving so soon? Scourge has requested you personally, little human." She threw something down, and Saphira stopped in her tracks when she saw a round device land in front of her, and knew it was a bomb. "You should really stay a while longer."
Saphira turned to run a different direction when the device went off. Saphira screamed as the blast wave sent her flying. Her bag slipped from her shoulders and fell to the ground. She had forgotten zip up her bag, so it caused the key to fall out. Saphira grunts as she landed hard on the ground, and she coughed, holding her stomach as she rolled onto her side, feeling quite a bit of pain from the impact.
She blinked and saw that the key was on the ground, and she widened her eyes as she had not expected to drop. "Oh, shit!" Saphira moved to scramble over to it, only to duck as blasts shot over her and forced to her to remain on the ground. Arcee was running over to her, but the mech used his mace to grab a car and threw it at Arcee, hitting her and sending her back into the ruins. "Damnit!"
"Enough of these games!" Saphira jumped and looked towards Scourge, widening her eyes as she saw he had hit Optimus onto his back on the ground using one of the light poles. "I'll get it myself." Saphira glanced at the key and looked back at him, thinking she could get it before he could.
"Not on my watch!" Bumblebee shouts, running at Scourge, shooting at him. Scourge held his wrist up to block his blasts, and he armed his canon as Bee threw a chair at him.
Not if I get it first…
Saphira crawled quickly over to the key and grabbed it, standing up quickly and moved to run, only to stop as the femme who had thrown the bomb at her hovered in front of her. "Uh, uh, uh…" The femme held her hand out to her. "Hand it over, and I might be gentle in handing you over to Scourge. And trust me, that is the only mercy you have until Scourge reaches you, little human."
Saphira backed away from the femme and looked towards Scourge, watching as he walked closer with a smug expression on his face. Optimus stood up and ran at Scourge with his axe, in the hopes to hit him in the back, especially as he now saw that Saphira was in immediate danger. Scourge turned, blocking the blade and pushed his arm against Optimus's chassis to stop him before headbutting him and knocking Optimus away.
"Tick tock, tick tock, human…" Saphira jumped and looked back at the femme, taking another step back. "I do not have patience for pests like you…AARGH!" Saphira ducked as a blast hit the femme's chassis, and she turned to see Mirage running towards her. The femme chuckled a little. "I see someone wants another ride in the sky."
"Hell no! Don't even think about doing that again!" Mirage fired both canons at the femme. Arcee was running behind him. "Arcee, you might want to try and get Saphira out of here if you cAAAN!"
"Mirage!" Arcee yelped as Mirage was hit with a car that had been thrown by the bulky mech and she glared at him and shot at him as she ran towards Saphira. "Saphira, prepare to leave. I'm going to try and get you out of here!"
Saphira nodded and ran by a pillar, skidding and grimacing as her knees scraped the concrete edge and she looked towards Optimus, gasping as she saw Scourge hitting Bumblebee into the museum. She took deep breaths as she worked on trying to calm her racing heart. But there was still so much happening, and the femme that had spoken to her before was still flying around, and she has not returned yet.
Optimus was not giving up though. He walked towards Scourge angrily, trying to hit him with his axe again, though Scourge blocked it, as he unsheathed his own sword and sliced it forward, snapping the axe from Optimus's arm. Saphira watched the axe fly and land on the ground, before looking back as Optimus did not let losing a weapon get to him. He tried punching Scourge, though the bot had blocked him and grabbed his hand before stabbing the sword into his armpit.
Saphira could not help but let out a shriek of horror, watching as energon spilt from the cut, and Scourge swiped the sword across Optimus's abdomen before kicking him into a column. "Optimus!" Saphira scrambled to her feet, wanting to run over, only to stop as she saw the femme hovering above her. She took deep breaths and looked at Optimus as he was punching right in the face. Luckily, he had his face plate up, but the blow still caused him to be disorientated from it. "No, no…"
"Oh, yes, yes…" The femme lands on the ground in front of her, and Saphira backed away from her. Saphira glanced at Optimus, watching as Scourge pulled the column down on top of him before he resumed walking towards Saphira. "Aw, don't be frightened, little human. This will all over soon." Saphira looked around desperately before she tried to run. "Uh, uh, uh…" The femme swiped her hand and snatched the key from Saphira's hand, making her shriek and fall onto her back from the force. That made the femme laugh in amusement. "So clumsy. And pathetic."
Saphira groaned and sat up, staring in disbelief as tears fill her eyes. The femme chuckled and walked away from her. Saphira felt like she failed, and she looked towards Optimus. Scourge chuckled and turned back to Optimus as the mech walked up behind him. "And you call yourself a Prime." Optimus grunts, feeling the weight of the mech's foot pressing down behind him. "Primus would be ashamed. Heh." He glanced towards Saphira and he armed his sword, making her gasp. "And you let yourself fall for something weaker than yourself, no wonder you are so weak!"
Saphira scrambled to her feet and ran towards Optimus, ignoring the femme who was laughing at her. "Optimus! No!"
She glanced around to see Mirage and Arcee had been knocked down, and they were trying to get up and rush to Optimus. Bee leaped out of the museum and saw what Scourge was about to do. He had his sword raised and poised for Optimus, and Bee ran towards him desperately. He was not about to let Optimus be killed, and he picked up Optimus's axe as he ran towards him. He was so focused, and he jumped forward, raising the axe above him in preparation to slam it down on him.
Though Scourge had heard him, and he turned around, only to impale Bumblebee with his sword right through the middle of his chassis. Saphira stopped in her tracks in horror, staring wide eyed as Scourge smirked, holding Bee by the neck as he had claimed a victim on this world. "Bumblebee!" Saphira felt tears fall from her eyes. "Bee!"
Scourge armed his canon as Bee dropped the axe he had in his hand, staring at Scourge as his processor was struggling to process the pain he was feeling from the impalement. "I'm tired of little things getting in my way!" Scourge looked back at Optimus with a smirk, ignoring the punch that Bee gave as he began to try and escape.
Optimus grunts as he was still held down by the mech. "Bee…" He was staring in disbelief and trying to get to his feet.
Bumblebee's helmet slowly raised and looked at Optimus with a sad expression. "Oh captain! My captain!" He glanced towards Saphira, seeing the girl staring in horror at what was happening. She had fallen to her knees, even though she had injuries to her knees and she was sobbing, and staring at him. "Little sister…"
Optimus dropped his face plate, staring in disbelief, hearing the charge of Scourge's canon. "NO!"
Scourge hummed in amusement and aimed his canon directly at Bumblebee's abdomen, though when he fired it, it seemed like a pulse of some kind. Bee's whole body jerked and trembled as though his life force was been sucked from his body, and that caused a surge of energy around them, and Saphira watched as what looked like blue electricity seemed to flow from Bee to the canon before his body goes limp.
Saphira stood up and walked forward quickly with a grimace, and gasped in horror as Scourge reached up and pulled the autobot badge from Bee's forehead. She couldn't help but be angry, and she noticed the badges on his shoulder as well. Her visions was blurred slightly from her tears, but she didn't care. She watched Bee get thrown in front of Optimus, and Prime stared at Bee's body in despair, watching as Bee's optics stare at him for a moment before going dark and his whole body shut off.
"No, no…" Optimus turned his head as Saphira managed to walk over, and she felt to her knees again, placing her hand on Bumblebee's cheek. "Bee…" She sniffled as more tears fell from her eyes.
Scourge let out a low chuckle. "Now to add a Prime to my collection…" Saphira jumped and looked up at Scourge in shock, frowning at him as his two bots stood by him again. The femme lands by him with a smirk on her face. "And a Prime sparkmate…" Scourge leaned down and looked at Saphira, making her jump back in front, crawling towards Optimus. "Though you aren't even that yet. Pathetic…"
Saphira managed to crawl under Optimus when she heard a loud screech. She looked up and widened her eyes. Optimus looked up as well, and they all saw a large, Cybertronian falcon flying towards them. They did not know where the creature had come from, but it suddenly began to breath fire between the autobots and Scourge. Saphira covered her face, and Optimus moved his arms to protect her from the flames as the large bird created the line of fire.
"Maximals…" Saphira looked towards Scourge when he spoke in distain.
"Good, maybe we will get a real fight," The femme said sarcastically.
"No…" Scourge shook his head and began to walk away. "We got what we came for." He glanced in the direction of the autobots before he and the other two bots walk away.
Saphira took deep breaths as she tried to calm herself down before she crawled back over to Bumblebee, looking at his body in disbelief. "Bee…" She sniffled softly and sat by his face. "This isn't fair…" She looked at Optimus as he slowly stood up on his feet, holding his abdomen with a grimace. He stepped closer to Bee in disbelief as grief was taking over his mind. "This isn't fair…Optimus…" He looked at her sadly. "I lost the key…"
"This cannot be…" Optimus looked at Bumblebee in despair as Mirage and Arcee walked over in shock. He looked back at Saphira worryingly. "You are injured."
She nodded and shrugged. "I know…but…" She sniffled loudly. "But I failed…"
"Nah, you didn't fail. We just didn't expect those assholes to show up. And…take away someone from the family…" Mirage's shoulders slumped and he looked up as the falcon flew towards them. "And now we have someone else. Maximals, or whatever Scourge called it."
Saphira watched the large falcon fly down towards them. She didn't know who or what it was, other then being a Maximal, as Scourge called it. But it wasn't on his side, it seemed. And when the falcon landed, on the chest, was the same symbol that Saphira had seen on the sculpture. It seemed that the sculpture was created in honour of this Cybertronian, and she was very surprised. The autobots had noticed this too, even though they were unsure if they should trust it.
And then it spoke, and Saphira was surprised. "We must go now." The yellow optics look at everyone, including Saphira. "Come with me."
They all could hear sirens in the distance, so they did not have much time. But as this falcon was new, they were not sure if they could trust it. But when the falcon offered to carry Bumblebee for them, they accepted. And when they transformed to leave, Saphira needed a bit of help climbing into Optimus's cab, and she made use of the first aid kit she had. Though she could not stop herself from crying. They had lost Bumblebee, and now they had lost their way home as well. This certainly was not fair.
