Shane laughs, kissing Tessa on the cheek as he rises. Then continues ahead casually. Tessa spirals her drink with her thin, red straw. She thinks back, and that horrid look returns to her face. A tiny bit of distress that she tirelessly tries to lock away and ignore.

The leading engine of the Amtrak train herds the following cars into a dark tunnel. A bridge is overhead, and once the engine emerges, the sun gleams faintly on it again. It’s sufficient enough to expose the Decepticon symbol on its lower left side.

               

                A repaired Brains fidgets in the leather, traveling satchel kept beside her. He whispers to her for a little fresh air. 

Tessa returns from her quiet drift into a land of anguish. She manages to giggle, reminding him that they don’t need air. Brains dismisses her true statement and continues to plead for freedom playfully. But they both know that can’t really be done.

A mechanical groan blares from the engine as he transforms, quaking the ground, punching into the tracks to abruptly slow the speed of the trains. The passengers lunge into whiplash within the other cars! 

                A massive four-armed Decepticon, armed with two 4-fingered hands, a flamethrower replacing his 3rd hand, and a dual nozzle cannon replacing the 4th. He twists over still in the process of transformation. Relentlessly however, he charges the blazing cannon of his secondary left hand. It ignites! Burning through the glass of the runaway train as it bypasses, nearly flying off through the tracks! 

And the Amtrak train slips off the tracks, blazing and crackling! He scans from his same distance, detecting no life forms aboard. 

He starts for the bridge arching over the tunnel—mission complete.  He leaps, massive, but spiraling swiftly and ferociously into a space shuttle, and blasts away!
