"Here he comes!", Sam yelled as Megatron came into view, Optimus shortly after.

"Hide, Sam! Hide, StormBlazer!", Optimus ordered.

Sam and I ran and hid behind a big ass tree trunk. I looked up again to see Optimus yelling things at Megatron.

"Weak!", Optimus yelled, Megatron grunted, "Puny!"

I almost laughed when he said that.

"Waste of...metal! Junkyard....crap!", Optimus yelled.

I watched the fight, growing more and more scared for Optimus' life. Sam was next to me.

"Decepticons!", Megatron yelled....SCRAP!

"Come here, boy.", Starscream said.

There were assorted grunts coming from the three Cybertronians as they fought.

"There is another Energon source on this planet. The boy can lead us to it.", Megatron explained.

Optimus groaned when Megatron punched him.

"Optimus!", Sam yelled.

"Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?", Megatron asked.

"You wont stop at one.", Optimus said and I noticed more Decepticons surrounding him, "I'll take you all on!"

"Primus, please be safe.", I pleaded though something told me that Optimus wasn't going to survive this battle, I just pushed it aside.

Optimus started battling them. Every once in a while I could hear grunts and screams of agony from the Decepticons.

"Sam, StormBlazer! Where are you?!", Optimus yelled, I was about to show myself when Megatron stabbed a sword through Optimus' spark.

"NO! ORION!", I yelled.

"No!", Optimus yelled after a painful scream, one I cringed at.

"You're so weak.", Megatron said as I cried, Optimus screamed in pain as Megatron twisted the sword.

"Sam, Storm, run. Run...", Optimus' optics darkened.

"NO! ORION PAX WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! I NEED YOU, YOU'RE MY ONLY FAMILY LEFT!", I pleaded, he didn't wake up, "ORION!"

"He's gone, Lori.", Ironhide said, that only made me cry harder, "Autobots Attack!"

"Bumblebee, get them out of here!", Ratchet yelled.

I put up one hell of a fucking fight as Bee's holoform dragged me from Optimus' lifeless husk.

"NO! I AM NOT LEAVING MY BROTHER BEHIND! I COULD HAVE SAVED HIM! I could a....", I cried and cried on the way back to base.

When we arrived, I ran to my shared berthroom and packed my stuff. I was going with Sam, Leo, Mikaela, Skids, Mudflap, and Bumblebee. I don't know where the fuck we're going but I honestly don't care. I just want to do something to get Optimus off of my mind for a little.

His death may have hit many bot's sparks and hurt a lot of humans but it hurt my spark the most. I knew Optimus for 37 million years. The closest bot other than me to Optimus is Ratchet. They've known each other for 30 million years.

"StormBlazer.", I looked up to see Sam, "We leave as soon as you're ready."

I nodded and wrote a note to Ironhide in Cybertronian but put his name in English. I set it down and we left. I will never forget you, Orion. Never.
