Hidden Spark

Chapter 18-The Fallen

As we drove, a flare popped ahead of us. "That's them, right there. See the flare?" Sam asked, pointing.
"Right over there! You see it?" Simmons repeated. Then shots were fired at us.
"It's Starscream, hit it Bee!" I called, looking up at the jet. That's when Leo finally burst.
"Oh God. Please God! Please." He hollered.
"Leo, stop freaking out. Stop freaking out." Mikalea told him.
"Please God please-" Leo cried.
"Shut this guy up, huh?" Simmons rolled his eyes.
"Please, just let me live, just let me live!" Leo continued.
"Shut up and let him drive!" Mikalea shouted.
"Just stop screaming-" Sam turned looking at him.
"All right, that's it!" I called sparking my fingers and placing them on Leo's neck. "please... ow ow ow ow!" He knocked out.
"Can't- take that guy anymore." Simmons groaned, putting the taser he'd pulled out away, and nodding at me. "Hide in the dust! Use the dust!" He told Bee, as we stopped and all climbed out.

"We've got to split up. Bumblebee, you're the decoy. You lead the Decepticons away, all right? I'm gonna get Optimus with Sam and Mikaela." I ordered and he roared his engine, ""I'll see you soon," I added as he drove off.
"I'll help draw their fire with Huey and Dewey there. You get to those soldiers. I hope that dust works, kids." Simmons gained my nod of approval, walking towards the twins.
"Thank you." Sam responded as he walked off.
"He's turning around. He's coming back, he's coming back." Leo cried, running with Simmons as we headed in the opposite direction.

I watched as we ran up a hill and Starscream flew over the soildiers. "He just let off an EMP they are alone." I warned as they popped more flares.
"We still have a mile that way. Come on... This way. This way." Sam called. I decided to transform mid sprint to contact the others. "Autobots come in." I signalled, it was silent, then I got Ironhide's response.
"Lex! We're here, but the decepticons outnumber us massively." He informed, and I heard a few shots in the background.
"We are a mile out just hold on!" I supported, once again transforming into a human so I didn't give away our position as easily. "Sam, Sam." Mikalea patted his arm, panting.
"I don't think they saw us. Get down. Get down. Okay. Listen. Once it's clear, we run for Optimus as fast as we can, okay?" He replied, turning to us.
"I contacted Ironhide, they know we're here, but the decepticons are fighting well, we nee..."
"But what if it doesn't work?" Mikalea cut us off.
"It's gonna work." Sam replied.
"Yeah, but what if it doesn't?" She asked again.
"It's gonna work. It will work. It has to..." I replied this time, as we took off again. 

Soon, we came close to buildings and ran inside as decepticons patrolled the streets. "Shh." I whispered, and Mikaela nodded, putting her hands over her mouth, as I sat with Sam. He used a nearby sword and put a hole through the wall so we could look through, "Primus." I muttered as I saw how outnumbered we were. Then a scouting bug flew in, Sam took it and snapped it in half. Suddenly, the roof flew off. "I see you!" Starscream roared as we ran again, and I fired a blast in his direction, putting up a force field, which only lasted for a couple of seconds, but gave us a head start. "Up, up, up, up, up!" Sam shouted as we ran up the stairs, dodging shots. "Get ready to jump!" I shouted as we ran of the edge, just as the building blew up. 

Within minutes we were back undercover, and hidden from the decepticons. "We got a half-mile. I don't think the soldiers know we're here." Sam said, ignoring or forgetting my earlier statement, I wasn't sure which. We took off again, this time running down hill instead of up, when we saw Ron and Judy. "Sam! Sam!" They both screamed getting up and coming towards us. "Dad!" Sam shouted.
"Wait, wait! Rampage!" I shouted, turning his attention to me.
"Please listen to me! I want you to run! Run!" Ron shouted to us. Rampage said something in cybertronian, that I couldn't quite make out, but I knew it was a message to Megatron. "Dad, just stop! They don't want you, they want me- oh, God! Wait!" Sam shouted, as I kept myself between Rampage and Sam's parents.
