Blood and Gold

One Shall Fall

The Decepticon growled at her, but Ivi just winked and stabbed the sword into the cables around his neck. Satisfaction overwhelmed her as Megatron screamed in pain, dropping Jazz as he tried to get away from her. Unfortunately, Ivi was still attached to her sword. The leader flew away and into a building, trying to get her off, and Ivi had to just close her eyes and hold on tight. She tugged in the sword, pulling it down to try and cut more of him as Megatron howled in pain. How the hell do you kill one of them? Granted, Ivi had never done anything like this before, but she knew she had to wound Megatron as much as possible, so that he couldn't hurt anyone else. She had almost been too late to save Jazz. Her shield was strong enough to have kept Bee safe. Her brother, both of them, and her best friend were being shot at because of Megatron. Ivi felt her whole body begin to shake and a light began to pulse inside her. She looked up at the Decepticon, gritting her teeth and pulling the sword further and further down, near the light inside his chest. For whatever reason, Ivi felt like that was what she needed to stab to kill him. He must have realized that was what she was going for, though, as he turned and pushed her through the debris and metal that they were plowing through. Ivi barely put up her shield in time, but the brunt of shrapnel hitting them was getting to be too much. The girl screamed and tugged on her sword, pulling it out of him just as they broke through the other side. Then, with her blood boiling, Ivi threw the sword at him like a meteor, feeling a surge of her power leave with it. The sword grew bigger and impaled Megatron into the side of another building, while Ivi felt herself begin to fall down, power nearly drained with the last hit. No! She braced herself to hit the ground, but all she hit was metal. Ivi gasped as the wind left her and looked up at the concerned face of Optimus Prime. "Hi," she said weakly, looking back at Megatron's retreating form.
The sword disintegrated and the golden power reentered her body with a rush of energy. The girl stood in Optimus' hand, nervous as he stared at her. But, he didn't say anything, and just set her on his shoulder as he raced after Megatron. Good, she didn't want to talk about it just then. However, as they rounded the corner, Megatron was waiting for them. The Decepticon transformed into a plane, kind of like a fighter jet, before accelerating straight towards them. There was no way Optimus could get out of the way in time, so Ivi raised her shield over them again, even though it felt like she was burning now. The girl had never used this much of her power, but she knew it needed time to recharge. Time she didn't have. When Megatron collided with them, he pushed them all the way through another building, still filled with people, and out onto the other street. He transformed and started trying to tear away at Optimus, but Ivi's shield held strong. "Humans don't deserve to live!" Megatron growled, gripping Optimus tighter.
Prime pushed and pushed, but to no avail, they were stuck underneath him. "They deserve to choose for themselves," Optimus rumbled, still trying to break free.
His efforts were short-lived, it seemed, as Megatron picked him up and threw him. While Optimus got back up, Ivi looked over to Megatron transforming something with his hands. A gun, it would seem. "Uh oh," she whispered, strengthening her shield as much as possible. "Then join them in extinction!" Megatron yelled as he fired the weapon.
Ivi closed her eyes, but gasped as the impact once more threw them back into a building. Thankfully, not all the way in, just the side, and they fell back to the ground. The girl looked up at Optimus as he groaned, and saw a familiar look on his face. It seems she is not the only one tired of being thrown into buildings. It looked like Megatron was going to fire at them again, but then smaller shots were heard, and Ivi turned her attention to the soldiers now surrounding Megatron. Yelling with anger, the Decepticon leader transformed into the fighter plane and took off to the sky, seemingly flying in circles. He's looking for the Allspark. Sam. Ivi got up suddenly, they had to help Sam. She looked at Optimus, he was trying to get up, but he was a bit injured and tired. The girl dropped her shield, feeling a bit of the energy come back to her as she placed her hands on the side of Optimus' head. Closing her eyes once more, Ivi transferred some of her energy to him and numbed the areas that were hurting him. She wouldn't be able to do much more, but Optimus could help her brother. Once done, the girl backed up, nearly toppling over as her body begged for rest. The Autobot leader set her down on the ground, and she could feel blood leaving her nose. Yup, she had definitely over done it. "Stay," Optimus ordered.
Like she could do anything else in this state. Ivi smiled and sat down on the ground, more like an obedient dog than a person. Her head was swimming, so she didn't see the concerned look in Optimus' eyes as he ran off in some random direction. The sounds of guns and bombs were going off nearby, but Ivi decided she would be safe here, if just for a moment. The girl closed her eyes and let herself fall back. It would only be for a minute.
