Mackenzie Rosita Prime POV

I walked over to Optimus and saw him gently kiss mom. She kissed him back. He then turned to me. He smiled and took my hat off and hugged me. I smiled and hugged him back. 

"Come back." I whimpered. He smiled. "I always do, Sweetspark." He told me softly. I smiled.

He put my hat back on. "This is the end of it. I promise." I nodded. 

Dad got in his semi truck and drove off. I sighed. 

I saw Mom look at me. "I know you wanted to go with him." She told me. "I did, too." She told me. "Everything hurts. But we can defend this place." I told Mum. She smiled. 


"Carl!" He turned to see me and Pickle was behind me. "What are you doing?" I asked curiously. "I'm helping someone." He told me. "In the sewer?" I asked. He opened his mouth to speak when we heard metal clanging. 

I turned. 

"You may be wondering why the hell your lookouts didn't sound the alarm." I turned hearing Negan's voice. "They got out..." I said horrified. 

I then grabbed my radio. "Dad! Daddy!" I whispered in the radio. ::Mackenzie? What? Is something wrong?:: Optimus asked. 

"Negan's here. He got out." I said. ::SON OF A BITCH! I'm on my way! Get everyone in the sewers!:: He ordered.

I then turned to my dragons. They chittered waiting for my command. "Go!"

All three of them flew off.  

I ran inside and grabbed my wolf's chain. She barked. "Come on!"

We ran outside right as the house exploded. I was thrown back and I hit the ground hard. "Ow..." I whimpered. 

I then saw a savior. My wolf growled when suddenly the man was lit on fire. I looked Pickle landed and she whimpered. 

I saw Rhagar and Rageo land. 

They helped me stand. 

I then saw a figure. "Kenzie?!" Optimus ran to me. "Okay. Hang on Babe." He lifted me into his arms. I winced. "Come on."

We got down to the sewers and the dragons had the power to minimize and maximize their forms. 

They followed us into the sewers. 

Optimus put me down next to mom. I laid my head on her shoulder.

Optimus walked over to Carl with Rick and Michonne behind him. Carl showed the walker bite mark. Optimus stared at it. 


"I don't-- I... I don't..." Optimus couldn't find the words. "Optimus..."

"How..."

"Optimus." 

"How... No. No."

"It's alright. It's gotta be. I wasn't sure you or dad would make it back before... But just in case, you know..." He held out letters. "I wanted to make sure I was able to say good-bye." Carl said. 

"No. It's them. It's them." Optimus was denying the truth. "They-- They don't... It wasn't..." The Prime looked at the human boy who was like a son to him. "No. No."

"I got bit." Carl told him. "I was bringing someone back. His name;s Siddiq. We met him at the gas station before... He wasn't a savior. It just happened. I got bit."

Pickle then walked up and she curled up right beside Carl and laid her head in his lap. 

Optimus sighed. He was trying to hide the tears in his eyes. 


I stood next to Optimus. We laid Carl down on the gourney. He wanted me beside him. He held my hand. Siddiq overed Anti-inflammatories for Carl. Suddenly rocks dropped down. 

Pickle maximized and she covered Carl with her wings. He coughed. 

"Water." I grabbed a water bottle and gave Carl some water. 

Optimus then turned to Dwight and slammed him to the wall. "Make it stop!" He snarled angrily. "Make them stop!" He growled. 

"I can't." Dwight said. "You can. You're one of them. They'll listen to you. Please." Optimus begged. Dwight sighed. 

Rosita walked up to Optimus. "Hey."

Optimus then walked back over to us. 

I sighed as I hugged Carl. He smiled and hugged me back. I sniffled. "I'll miss you." I whispered. Carl nodded. He gently held my hand. "You'll always be my best friend." He told me. I nodded.
