Scarlett

chapter 4

~third person POV~

Scarlett watched silently as Optimus gets up slowly off the ground while Megatron did the same.

"It's you and me, Megatron." Optimus announced as Sam headed in the opposite direction of them.

"No, it's just me, Prime."

Sam climbed down to a ditch with broken pipes to avoid getting hit.

"At the end of this day, one shall stand, one shall fall." Scarlett whispered the words at the same time as Optimus said them before they began to brawl.

A couple of stones rolled down to where Sam was, but he quickly brought his arm to his face to shield himself. Megatron picked Optimus up and threw him against a building. Optimus tumbled to the ground.

"You still fight for the weak! That is why you lose!" Megatron threw him again and kicked him in the faceplate.

A couple of jets come close and fired missiles at Megatron making him stumble back as Sam climbed out of the ditch. The missiles didn't stop coming and Megatron roared in pain as he fell to the ground. He tried to get back up, but the jets wouldn't allow such a thing and he stumbled back onto the floor again. Lennox and his team got a good view of Megatron and opened fire on him before the Decepticon leader worked his way to his pedes. He spotted Sam and charged for him, but Optimus tripped him making him end up on his back. Sam jerked on his back slowly crawling away from the Decepticon while Scarlett ran towards him in order to help him get away.

"Mine!" Megatron growled.

'Wow, possessive much?' Scarlett raised an eyebrow.

"I'll kill you!"

"Whoa-"

"Mine! Allspark!" Megatron gurgled, energon spilling from his wounds.

"Sam! Push the Cube into my chest! Now!" Optimus smashed his fist onto the ground.

With Scarlett's help, Sam got to his feet facing Megatron before he sprinted towards the Decepticon leader.

"Sam!" Optimus yelled. Megatron roared as Sam ran under his chest and pointed the Cube upwards. "No, Sam!"

Sam pushed the Cube upwards at Megatron's chest and they watched as the Cube dissolved into his spark before he fell to the ground dead.

"You left me no choice, brother." Optimus walked over and knelt down in front of Sam as the redhead took a few steps back. "Sam, I owe you my life. We are in your debt."

Scarlett yelped as she was suddenly grabbed by a bot's servo.

"You, lil' lady, saved me, thank you." Jazz said and Scarlett blushed.

"You're welcome." She smiled and he put her back down.

"Scarlett!" Sapphire tackled her best friend who stumbled back a few steps before she giggled.

"Hey Sapphire." The redhead greeted her as she hugged back.

"I'm glad you're okay." The blue haired teen told her.

"We gained new comrades today. Thank you. All of you. You honor us with your bravery." Optimus said and the two girls smiled, happy that the line they had heard so many times was no longer being said in sorrow. There was no sorrow, only pride and thankfulness which made Scarlett tear up as she smiled brightly.

"Permission to speak, sir?" The unmistakable voice of Bumblebee caught their attention.

"Permission granted, old friend." Optimus replied.

"You speak now?" Sam exclaimed and Sapphire chuckled before Scarlett nudged her.

"I wish to stay with the boy."

"If that is his choice." Optimus answered and all eyes turned to Sam. The boy in question looked to Mikaela who smiled before looking to Bumblebee.

"Yes."
