Cali's POV

By the time we caught up to Optimus and Sam, it was see something that I never in my entire life thought I would see, something that would change the playing field of this Intergalactic War we were helping to fight.

"You're so weak!" came the roar of Megatron as he stepped up behind the Prime who from what Jazz and I could see was looking for Sam. It was at this point that I swear everything slowed down to about half speed as we watched helpless to intervene (Jazz still had 'Nightmares' about how he almost off-lined) as Megatron shoved his canon through Primes chest and blasted his Spark back to the Well of Sparks.

"The last Prime is dead!" Cheered Megatron, which caused me to shudder uncontrollably (probably due to my feeling his Spark Energy go out) as I pondered what was going to happen now if the Leader of the Autobots and a great friend was truly gone.

I was jolted from my shock when I heard the sirens of Ratchet's Alternate Mode and then his booming command, "Autobots, attack!" before facing Jazz and Bumblebee, the latter who had skidded to a halt right next to Jazz's form and I could make out the forms of Mikaela and some other boy inside.

"Bumblebee, get them out of here! Jazz go with him!" came the shouted orders from Ratchet as he continued to fire on what Decepticons were left in the area. I grabbed the now running Sam and all but threw him into Bee's interior stating, "We'll be right behind you, Bee try and find somewhere where we can hole up and figure this situation out, I have a feeling that the slag is about to hit the fan."

After making sure that they all understood, I jumped in through Jazz's open Drivers door and we peeled out after Bee and his passengers with the two annoying twins of Mudflap and Skids following us, I guess they were told to stick with Bee who was one of the few who could actually control them somewhat.

As we drove away from the battle behind us I looked at the steering wheel and then climbed over the center console letting Jazz activate his Holoform and take over the impression that there was at least someone driving.

Letting out a shuddering breath, I looked at Jazz's Holoform and announced, "I better contact Lennox and let him know what happened here Jazz. He has the right to know as Acting Commander of the NEST Forces."

Jazz nodded before saying that it was probably a good idea to use Anubis to contact Lennox since he was technically a Secure Line and could get reception anywhere. So gently asking Anubis to patch me through to Major Lennox I waited until they connected me through on their end.

Will's POV

We were still enroute to meet up with Cali and Prime to save Sam from what we suspected to be Decepticons going after him for vengeance for him killing Megatron in Mission City. What I wasn't expecting was one of the flight crew coming back and handing me a headset stating that I had an incoming call.

"This is Lennox." I answered and as soon as I heard Cali's voice on the other end explaining what had happened, my whole world just stopped, I couldn't believe what she had just told me — The Big Guy, Optimus Prime was dead, killed by Megatron as he tried to protect Sam. She also stated that she and Jazz were going to be sticking with Sam and Bumblebee as protection and to not let Galloway know this incase he tried to mess things up even more than he had already.

Uttering that I understood where she was coming from and telling her to keep safe, I disconnected the connection and went to speak with the team I had brought with me, I wasn't going to enjoy this at all, a great being had died doing what he thought was right and now it was up to us to finish what he had started.
