   We went to the Xygonians and the Autobots. Slugbug looked at me. "My people. We must evacuate to New Earth. Take what you need," I said. For a while we debated. They were saying things like, "I heard humans are the termites of the universe, so why share a world with them?" But eventually we came into an agreement. I told them there's nothing on New Earth to squish us, that some humans are peaceful. Besides, I missed my best friend, Sam Witwicky. We heard more explosions. "Alright, people! Let's roll out!" I yelled. I quickly grabbed a branch from one of the trees. We all transformed and rolled out to a spaceship near forest. We all went in and flew away, Hound did the flying this time. I looked at the carnage in horror. An explosion happened at Iacon council. A humongous dinosaur lay dead in middle of the whole wrecked city. I realized we left the Dinobots behind. "Crap! We left the Dinobots behind!" I said. "They'll be alright. Probably for the best," Bumblebee replied. I began to feel guilty for leaving Cybertron. Cybertron is truly lost. Bumblebee saw me cry. "Electra? Are you ok?" He asked. I shook my head. "You'll feel better when we get to New Earth," he said. I looked away. "Sometimes the hardest part of being a leader is making decisions," Bumblebee said. I sigh. "You're right," I said. I kissed him and we held hands as I rest my head on his shoulder the rest of the way. "Look! That nebula looks like a unicorn!" Slugbug says. I halfway heard her. I jumped up as well as the rest of the Autobots. "Where?!" I asked. She pointed at a nebula. "Oh. You scared me," I said. "Sorry," she apologized. I went back to Bumblebee's side and held his hand as I fell asleep on his shoulder.

   I woke up to the turbulence. We were in a storm. I heard thunder and wind. I went to the cockpit, Bumblebee followed. Crosshairs was flying, however we couldn't see anything. "Crosshairs. Let me fly," I said. "Would you do any better?" He asked. "I guess not," I said. Even going back and forth to Cybertron, I still hadn't enough experience with flying, like flying in a storm. The storm turned into a snowstorm. What kind of planet is this? I thought. A snowy mountain suddenly appeared. Some of us screamed as Crosshairs avoided it roughly. I felt a bump. My anxiety levels went through the roof. Then another mountain appeared and everything went black.

   I opened my eyes and found a bald man in monk like clothes looking at me. He shouted something in Chinese. I felt a pain in my side and leg. I winced in pain. I saw energon flowing down the mountain and realzed that I'm in trouble. I plopped my head back down, feeling groggy. The monk started tapping my cheek and shouted something in Chinese. I realized that there were others trying to help getting spaceship parts out of me. I'm surprised they know something about my anatomy. The monk shouted to the others, then say something to me. "I don't understand," I croaked. "I do!" Said a little voice. A smaller monk walked up to us. "Chen, I'll take it from here," he said then said something in Chinese to the monk. The monk left. "My name is Xiao Chung. This is a Shaolin temple," he says. "Electra Magneta," I croaked. "You'll definitely need to rest after the others get you out of the tangle of mess you're in. They'll patch you up," he says. I didn't bother looking. I was exhausted. So I fell back asleep.

   I woke up to someone touching my back. I turned over and looked. "Bumblebee!" I croaked in excitement. I hugged him and kissed him. "Oh Electra," he said kissing me. He was kinda banged up and his face was cracked up. "The others?" I asked. "About 24 Xygonians died. The others survived with severe injuries," he said. "Ugh... We need to start reproduction now. You seen the replicator?" I asked. "No. I came looking for you. Luckily I came in time," he said. "You idiot! We got to get that replicator!" I yelled in frustration. I struggled to get up since I lost a lot of energon. "Electra. You just lost a lot of energon," Bumblebee said. "Don't care. We gotta reproduce!" I said. I looked around. Spaceship parts littered the yard. I sighed. "Let's just help them clean up our mess," I said. "Ok," Bumblebee replied. We helped the monks clean up the mess. That wasn't the hardest part. We even cleaned up parts from dead Xygonians, my people. Their parts and energon scattered across the monastery. I cried. I imagined that the monks was shaken up after the crash. "I'm sorry for the mess," I apologized. "No need. You lost some people. It'll take time for the grief to pass," Xiao Chung said. "Y'all are very sweet. Thank you for helping," I said. "You're welcome. We did our best," Xiao Chung said bowing. "I am glad you've found Electra first. She would have died," Bumblebee said. "So where did you find the rest of my people?" I asked. "At the foot of the mountain. Follow me," Bumblebee said.

   I followed him down the mountain. The main part of the spaceship was intact, the remaining Xygonians huddled inside. They looked up sadly at me. "Slugbug?" I called out. I pushed through the crowd. "Slugbug!" I yelled. One of the Xygonians held Slugbug, Max, the dog I created from my energon, right beside them whining. "SLUGBUG!" I screamed as I snatched her away. "I found her at the foot of the mountain," the Xygonian said. From that moment on, all I heard is mumbles while I cried holding Slugbug in my arms. Then after a while I stopped crying, exhausted and staring off into space. "Electra? Can you hear me?" Bumblebee asked. He pulled my face to his, still spacing out. Another Xygonian walked up and pulled her, I clung on. "Electra, we need her body for the funeral," he said. I let go of Slugbug. Later we had a funeral for the dead at the temple, including Slugbug's. I sat on top of the mountain. The northern lights were different shades of blue. Bumblebee sat next to me. "Look, they're blue like your hair. May be a coincidence," Bumblebee said. "Yeah. Coincidence," I said without smiling. "Smile. Things will get better. Besides we need to repopulate," he said. "Go on without me," I said. "I can't. We need you," he said hugging me. Silence followed. "I get it. You need more time," Bumblebee said getting up and walked away. I continued to stare at the sky. I admit it was beautiful. Max sat next to us.
