[ Third Person's P.O.V ]

When Smokescreen failed to grabbed the Star Saber and couldn't seem to take it out from the boulder. He was surrounded by vehicons after getting shot by the back.

“Smokescreen!”

Michael almost called out for him only for him to cover his mouth. He can felt his body trembling. In fear on having to lost Smokescreen just before his eyes.

Smokescreen may be a robot but both of them grew a bond of friendship in a short amount of time. Amazingly how the two gets along so well despite their differences.

Perhaps because how Michael always listen to Smokescreen's stories and such that felt like Smokescreen finally had someone to share all his glories to.

He gripped onto the huge rock they're peeking from. “No.. Smokescreen..! Get up!”

“This can't be happening..”

Michael mumbled as Jack let out a soft “No..” Before pulling out his phone. Michael looked at what he was going to do. Dialing a number as he held the phone to his ear. Michael lean in close and listened.

“Ratchet”

Jack called as Michael carefully listened. Also trying to stay alert on their surroundings. “You got to get Optimus here now!”

Michael's eyes went so wide that he gripped Jack's shirt by the back as a signal for him to look back.

Jack looked at Michael with a confused look while he continued talking on the phone. Slowly turning around. “Smokescreen went for the relic and it's called the Star Sabe-”

He was caught off when Michael and Jack looked up to be towered by the Insecticon. “Ah scrap”

Michael took flight as he grabbed Jack's wrist and and ran. With Jack back to reality from the shock upon seeing the Insecticon. They both ran as fast as they could from the insect chasing them with aggression.

With Michael's sixth scene somehow saved them from being squashed by the tree that the insect barge into as he leap onto the right and yanked Jack with him as they stumble a bit. Right after the tree fell behind them. Making Michael's mask  slip off from his face.

He noticed it but it wasn't the time for himself, he has Jack to worry about. A teenage boy who still has a life a head of him. Michael force his legs up and helped Jack up as they continued running from the Insecticon as he glance back to see it gaining on them. “We need to do something!”

Ratchet's voice was heard through Jack's phone. “Where in the name of Cybertron are you?!”

As Ratchet stared at the screen and Jack still online. He couldn't hear the howling of the Insecticon before saying. “And did you say Star Sabe?”

The howl was louder this time which was enough for Ratchet to hear and knew that Jack was in danger, possibly chased by the Insecticon. However, he also noticed that Michael was nowhere to be seen in the base.

As his anxiousness grows. He called for Jack. To ask whether his thoughts were correct “Jack? Is Michael with you?”

Jack answered in a rush while panting. “Y-Yeah! Oh scrap, Michael!”

“Danggit! We really have to be smart to outrun this bug!“

Ratchet heard Michael's annoyed voice through the line, heavily panting like a dying dog. That confirmed his question.

“Oh my..Jack! Michael!”

As he quickly typed down at the digital keypads and then focus back to Optimus. In hopes trying to get a reply from them. “Optimus please respond!”

He can clearly see that the signal of the Autobots are available. “I can see that you're alive Optimus, why won't you answer me?!”

With quick thinking. He opened the ground bridge and lead him to the coordinates where Team Prime was. As he ran through the portal and finally found the team that he's been trying to reach. Informing them, “We have a situation!”

Michael pulled Jack closer and made him go in front of him. “M-Mike?!” Jack could see Michael's face clearly and it really shocked him but definitely was not the time.

“Go on, I'll be behind you!”

With the adrenaline going through Michael's back. He can admit that this was the most scariest experience in his life. Besides from having to deal with haunted animatronics trying to murder hum for haven to mistaken him as his father, that was not as scary as this.

Having a huge robot chasing you and let alone could just squish you to death instantly. Although, it'll be more painful if it were the animatronics. He's been through that stage and it was the worst pain he had to feel.

Especially when they got most of your organs out and used him as skin for their escape. It really broke Michael upon seeing what happened to his body.

Then suddenly another one barge in as they chased the two of them down while swinging their sharp claws around.

“My god!”

Michael and Jack ends up running in front of a large rock which slowed them down. Michael's first priority was to keep Jack away from them. He pushed Jack before the Insecticon could snatch or harm him.

“Michael?!”

Jack yelled as a result having Michael's arm being clawed as he screamed in slight pain before his body moved on its own accord by dodging another claw lunging at him. “Keep going Jack! Go or else I'll make you!”

Michael yelled louder for Jack to have the message sent through his head. He hesitated as he gritted his teeth and continue running off while Michael distracts the Insecticon.

“Hey you disgusting bug!”,

He yelled at the two Insecticons which he succeeded taking their attention. “Come and get me or you're just a slow and weak bug!”

Michael tried to give the worst insult before he book it when he heard the Insecticons growled angrily as it seems to irritated them. Michael then ran the opposite way from where Jack had taken.

He called out louder for the other Insecticons to hear so that there won't be any much chasing after Jack, wherever he is.

“HEY, WHY DON'T YOU BRING YOUR COMRADES HUH? WHOEVER GETS ME FIRST WILL BE THE GRAND CHAMPION!”

That seems to motivate the two same Insecticons as if they're going to play a game.

“Yeah that's right, let this be a game for all of you”

They howled like a horse as if it's a sound to call for reinforcement. It did give Michael quite an anxiety but he knew he had to so that Jack wouldn't be chased by a bunch of Insecticons.

He's risking his life for another. After all, he didn't want anyone to suffer even if they aren't going through the same pain as him.

Before he knew it, he can hear wings flapping in a way insects would fly. That could mean that he have got the attention of most Insecticons.

“Alright, let the game begin”
