A/N: For the picture, I just wanted to draw her as an angel for fun.😊
I looked up from my laptop.
"Whatever you wanted to answer, forget it."
I turned my laptop, letting Drift see the feed.
"He's here."
I turned it back around, cracking my chuckles.
"Well then, I've done it twice, and three times a charm."
I began typing, ignoring what the others were doing.
But this time, I was hit with backfire, making me set up my firewalls.
"Well, this just became interesting."
I looked up, sigh and tapped Drift's dashboard.
"Whatever happens, even if I don't respond from my typing, just do what you must."
"What are you planning?"
He asked, alarmed, the same question coming from his radio five more times.
"I'm going to duel Lockdown on code basis."
Looking back down, I ignored whatever they wanted to tell me and began typing, firing back at the security of their data.
I can do this. I got to do this. I won't let anyone else get hurt if I can do something against it. I can do this. I …
I repeated in my head, not even blinking when the cars in front of me served and fire showed up, nor when suddenly metal began raining down.
At some point, Optimus and Bee transformed, but I ignored it too.
Need a better cover. Need better oh. That could work.
I hacked back into the military satellite and cemetery wind using their security to back up mine.
The first time I actually reacted, was to Optimus command.
"Autobots, get the bomb over the bridge and out of the city."
I still held onto the laptop, opening my seatbelt and throwing myself out of Drift's car mode, landing next to Optimus to continue typing.
"I can't go anywhere else. I can't hack that thing at a bigger distance. I stay. And I will not listen to anyone who says otherwise. Also, I will outrun anyone who tries to stop me. I know you guys know I can."
I told them, still typing, sometimes hitting certain keys.
When I saw in the reflection of the monitor that Ratchet was making a move to grab me, I turned, hiding behind Optimus' leg.
They transformed and began driving, but as soon as they were out of rage, Optimus as well as the dinosaurs were pulled up.
Faster. Faster. Faster.
I could guess that Optimus was going to shoot it, but knew from my past hack that it wouldn't work. At least not without a little help.
I hacked the magnet and disabled his defense system, thanking god that I took control over the satellite that was currently firing an onslaught of hacks at the ship too.
I sigh when Optimus fired, hitting the magnet and causing it to explode.
I stopped my own hack, running over to where he landed.
"Optimus. Are you alright? That looked like a pretty bad fall."
He just stood up, taking out his weapon.
"It's you and me now."
He announced, optics glued to the ship, taking a step towards it.
I looked at him, deciding in a split second to go with him, jumping onto his leg and clutching at his cables as he began to run.
The laptop pinged, revealing a feed of Tessa arguing with Cade.
"Crosshair, can you hear me?"
"Of course I can."
"Let them hear me please."
…
"They can now."
"Cade, go with them."
"What?"
Came his voice.
"I'm with Optimus. I'm already in the ship's system. Listen to your daughter. You have much more to lose than your life. And do me the favor. Don't do anything stupid again."
"But…"
"I can ask Shane, Joshua, Crosshair and Bee to knock you out."
"Nice try."
"And the one to actually do so will be Tessa. So just do what your daughter tells you once in her life."
The answer was a sigh and car doors slamming.
"He is with Bee. I cut the feed."
"Thank you Crosshair."
"Just repay it by not dying on us."
I smiled slightly.
"I didn't plan to. But just in case. Please tell Drift 'thank you and I'm sorry' from me. It was nice knowing you all."
"Now you make it sound like you're going to die."
Came the concerned reply.
"I'm not. But I will still be on the run after this. And I'm pretty sure you guys can just get the ship back up and leave. So, I will leave as soon as Lockdown is, well down. So, I probably won't see him to tell him that myself."
"Hey, wait a sec. That."
I shook my head, even though I knew he couldn't see it.
"Thanks Crosshair. If you were a human, I would say you make a good father."
I cut the connection, concentrating back on the ship above us.
"Prime!"
Came Lockdowns cry from above, shooting several times at a bridge between two houses, making me finally let go, landing on the ground and rolling up to not get hurt, taking cover and taking the laptop back out.
I still carefully watched the two giant beings battle, hacking so far into the ship, that I could use the weapon systems, letting them fire whenever I wouldn't hit Optimus, only making Lockdown angrier.
Suddenly, I was shot at, making me turn around to face Arringer.
"Oh, great. The leader who can't tell the right means from the wrong ones."
I silently spoke sarcastically, glaring at him.
He marched right up to me, pointing his gun directly at my chest.
"Please don't tell me you're gonna shoot me for the safety of the nation or the world."
I muttered under my breath, holding my hands up.
"You see, it takes patience to make a man. The patience to watch and wait. To protect all of us quietly. For god and country. Without any recognition at all."
He nearly screamed at me, making me tilt my head.
"I know this might sound utterly idiotic, but I'm not a man. Oh. And sorry."
He blinked, but crouched over shortly after.
I had kicked him between his legs, jumping out of pistol rage for now, before he could recover.
He groaned, standing up again, pointing his pistol at me again.
"There are no good aliens or bad aliens Spencer. It's just us and them. And you chose them."
I nodded.
"You know why?"
He glared at me.
"Because they've shown me more humanity than most humans have."
I jumped back to my original position again, making him raise an eyebrow.
But, he probably hasn't heard Optimus cry of my name before.
The sound of something powering up was heard, before he was removed from my sight by a blast, causing me to shield my eyes.
I looked down at him, nodding.
"Anytime. I would do it again."
Even though I knew he was dead and couldn't hear me.
The hole in his chest a clear indicator.
I turned around just in time to see Optimus getting hit with his own sword through his chest, a blue glow emitting from it.
"You saved the human instead of yourself."
Lockdown told the bot, glaring down at him.
I ran back to the laptop typing in a self-destruction code for Lockdown's ship.
He wouldn't get off of earth to collect Optimus' bounty.
Lockdown turned around, firing at me now, making me duck again.
Hearing an engine, I looked up to see Bumblebee driving towards me.
He let out Cade, Shane and Tessa, making me shake my head, before the yellow bot sped towards the battle again.
He charged towards Lockdown, past Optimus who complained and engaged into a fight, becoming another target for the hunter.
For now, I was in the clear at least.
I still ran after them, because for some reason, the biggest destruction doesn't happen in their immediate radius.
This action just caused Optimus to scream at me, to which Lockdown replied to Optimus making me just shake my head.
Even though Shane and Tessa were able to get Lockdown to his knees, while Cade was shooting at him from a safe distance, he suddenly focused back at me, making me curse and backtrack.
I kept dodging his attacks, but soon he was above me.
"I promised you."
He whispered with a smirk, making me cower.
"You see my face, your life is done."
He sat on to his last attack, making me raise the laptop in defense, even if I knew it wouldn't work.
But before Lockdown was able to, Optimus' sword pierced through him from behind, sliding upwards through him.
I took the laptop from my face, smiling slightly at Optimus, before standing up and turning to the others, who were hugging each other.
I turned around to leave, seeing Optimus still standing in front of me.
"Come, let us all go."
He told me, one of his digits directing me towards the others.
I looked up at him, tears gathering in my eyes.
"I already told Crosshair. I won't come back with you. But like I did with all the others, I thank you for saving my life back in Chicago."
He frowned, looking up to see the advancing robots.
"I will not leave anyone behind."
He declared, pushing me a bit harder.
"But you won't."
Now he looked confused.
"Today is my last day, as i have fulfilled for what I stayed here."
"What are you…"
I turned to him.
"Attinger and Savory were sometimes confused because of me or acted like I wasn't there."
Optimus pinched his nose.
"We will talk about this later."
I shook my head.
"Optimus, as sorry as I am to give you the burden to inform the others, but, these two behaved like this because to them, I'm already killed."
Now he frowned again.
"Optimus, none of you might have realized because I can still get hurt from weapons, but I'm a ghost. I'm no longer alive. Cemetery wind killed my whole family. Just like they killed Sam's and Mikaelas. There were no survivors. Everyone just died."
He shook his head.
"It can't be. We saw you eat and drink. We saw you get hurt."
I smiled slightly at him, before becoming transparent, walking straight through his finger before gaining more color again.
I point at the others.
"Ask them how many humans you met on this journey."
He turned, and asked, now ignoring the robots.
"Erm, Tessa, Shane, me, Joshua, Savory, Attinger and the two women with Joshua."
Cade answered.
Optimus optics widened as he looked back down at me, who was anishing by the second.
"There might still be clues for them that they met me, but they won't remember. You guys will, because your processors or brains work differently from ours."
Optimus' digit trembled as he laid it onto my shoulder.
I smiled up at him, shaking my head.
"Tell the others that I'm sorry for leaving you all."
"If you go to the afterlife and meet our other friends there, tell them they are missed."
I shook my head.
"None of us went to the afterlife."
"But you were all good people."
He exclaimed.
I felt myself nearly completely gone, but I knew this was something they all needed to know.
"We didn't join the afterlife. We were given the honor of joining the allspark."
I saw Optimus' optics widen and become filled with hope, before I completely vanished from his sight, making him stare at the spot a moment longer before he took the three humans, detonating Lockdowns grenade and flying off.
