Hidden Spark

Chapter 23- Warrior's Bond

I flew straight back to the fight, I had to stand with the autobots. "Where's Optimus?" Dino asked as I landed, taking my lead from the back.
"With the Wreckers, he got in a bit of a, well, tangle." I replied, shooting at the nearest decepticons. I was fighting one when I heard a loud thud around three blocks over. "Bee, get on it!" I called, seeing him drive away. "How's everyone holding up?" I asked, concerned for my family.
"Good, what about you?" Sideswipe asked, as I ducked and he shot behind me.
"Still kicking." I replied, just as we were overrun by decepticons.

"Hide." Que whispered moving in front of me, making me become human. One advantage of being a small robot, nobody really noticed if you went missing. I spotted Sam and Carly, hiding in a tipped car. "Stay quiet, we've got this." I muttered, watching the scene, but I wasn't so sure. I had to watch as they were pushed to the ground, each one shaking their head at me, telling me not to reveal I was here. "Bee, I think they're going to kill us." Que spoke up, tears in his eyes. Sam and Carly grabbed onto me, knowing that I was ready to run in. But if I did, that would mean shots getting fired, and all of them would die with no chance to fight. Bee whirred, glancing back at me and winking. He was scared, but still worried for me. They all were.

"You, your time is up." A Decepticon hissed, pushing Que.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! We surrendered! We're your prisoners."
"Move it."
"Can't we talk this out? We're all a bunch of good chaps! I mean you no..." But he couldn't finish as he was shot, dead.
"I'll see you again soon." I whispered, before watching them grab Bee. I had to do something, but what? If I tried to fight, they would kill them all. Bee's eyes filled with tears, and I shook my head. I wasn't losing him twice in one day.

"Wait! Stop!" I shouted, walking out. "I'm Lexie Prime, you know me right? I'm to be spared." I called, flying up to their head height.
"Yes." He growled. I sighed, putting my hands up.
"Spare them, and I'll join you. Let the rest of them live, and I'll fight for you. Just take me to Megatron and I'll do what he asks." I proposed. The autobots shook their heads, but I was dead serious. If this saved their lives, I would sacrifice the rest of mine. I would spend it locked up if I had to. "Lexie, no. Don't." Bee pleaded, but I shook my head.
"I love you."

I jumped back as pieces of the mothership started to fall to the ground, hitting the decepticons around us. I nodded at Bee, and transformed. All of us started to shoot, and slice through our foes. We weren't dying, we were a family and we fought as one. Mid battle, I looked up, trying to figure out what was causing the damage to their ship. The only thing I felt, were two, familiar, small robots. "You go midgets." I mumbled, before turning to my left and slicing the head of my opponent. When we were clear, Bee looked at me in confusion. "Brains and Wheelie, they're looking out for us from above. At least they were." I stated as the ship fell into the water. "Autobots, lets move!" I ordered, leading the drive away.

On our way, we found the soldiers fighting Shockwave. "Take him down." On my command, we all shot at the Con, along with arriving reinforcements. I activated my blades and ran in, drawing their fire. As I was, I saw Optimus land beside me and fight, his own blades slicing through them. Nothing could stop the power of two Primes, especially two with a lot of pent up anger. "You die!" He growled, before ripping out Shcokwave's eye and using his cannon to take out the pillar.

"Get down here, Sentinal!" Optimus boomed, and I withdrew my blades.
"Optimus, Lexie. You both forget your place." He responded, before sliding down the wall and landing before us. "I bring you Cybertron, your home, and still you chose humanity."
"I was human!" I screamed.
"You were the one who taught me freedom is everyone's right." Was all Optimus said, before starting the fight. I took to taking out the surrounding decepticons, who had decided they wanted to take me on. "Decepticon ships, fire at Optimus! Keep Lexie alive!" Sentinal ordered. I paused, they weren't after me. I could fight and they weren't allowed to kill me, so if I stood between them and the autobots, we would survive.
