"Run! Keep going!" Cade shouted as Izabella ran with Lordes down towards a church. Lordes' heart began to pound violently against her chest as she ran and ran, continuously looking and seeing how close Megatron was to Cade and themselves. He was catching up and she had to do something about it.

"Leave me.." She muttered as Izabella looked down at her.

"Not a chance!" Izabella shouted as Lordes ripped her hand from her grip and stopped running. "Lordes', don't!"

"Go! I'm only slowing you down. You need to find cover!" Lordes shouted as she looked back at Megatron who was a couple yards from where she was.

"No, Lordes! Don't be stupid!" Cade shouted as Lordes' hands glowed brightly. "I know what I'm doing! Just go!"

Cade hesitated for a split second, only concerned about Lordes' well being, before he ran inside the church with Isabella hot on his tail. Lordes glared at Megatron before she stood her ground.

"You're growing weaker and weaker by the second, Zara. You might as well let me blast you out of your pathetic existence." Megatron said while aiming his blaster.

"I'd rather be pathetic than a sore loser." Lordes said with a smirk before Megatron growled and fired his blaster, Lordes barely missing it as she rolled out of the way.

A sharp pain went through her abdomen which caused her to yelp in pain and groan softly. She tried to get up, but Megatron's blasts caused her to get low. She didn't want to get up and one of the blasts hit her.

"Time for you to die, Zara Prime. Time to end the line of Primes once and for all." Megatron said as soon as he stood directly above her. She shook her head before she aimed her fist at him.

"Haven't you learned? You talk too much." Before she knew it, she blasted Megatron and he was sent flying almost hundreds of yards away. Lordes did the best she could to lure Megatron and his goons away from the church just to give Cad and Izabella time to escape.

And what a lucky day it was for her! Just as she stood up, Grimlock jumped from out of the blue, stood in front of Lordes protectively and had spread his flames upon the other Decepticons.

"Grimlock! You're right on time!"

Are you hurt? Grimlock growled softly as Lordes held her side. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just a little bruised and dizzy. Listen, Cade and the others are inside that church and we need to protect them. Think you could distract them?"

Grimlock growled in agreement before he went towards the Decepticons. Lordes ran into the church, hearing the screams and yelling of Cade and Isabella from up above.

"Hang on, guys. Hang on." Lordes muttered as she looked down at herself. She went to see if she was able to levitate from off the ground, which she was still able to do. Lordes smirked before she flew to the top of the church just in time to see Cade and Isabella using pipes to smash a TRF drone to pieces.

"Woah, easy killers.."

Cade turned around to see Lordes land on the floorboard. "Lordes! You're okay!"

"For now. Grimlock's outside distracting Megatron and his Decepticons. We don't have a lot of time." Lordes acknowledged as Cade nodded.

"Okay. Let's get out of here now. TRF drones are after us, too." Cade said while pointing outside at the group of drones flying around.

"Follow me." Lordes said as she ran out, Isabella and Cade following directly behind her. They ran out of the church as fast as they could and ran across the street towards a building.

Just as they got closer, a blast was sent towards them, knocking Lordes off her feet.

"Lordes! Are you okay?" Cade asked as he helped Lordes to her feet. "Yeah. I'm fine."

Just as she said that, another blast was sent, this time nearing blasting Izabella's head off. Good thing she ducked down when she did.

"But we won't be if we stay here!" Izabella shouted before Cade helped Lordes into the building. Izabella went in after them, they ran towards an elevator, hoping they could get a clear view of the Decepticons from above. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Cade, Lordes, and Izabella rushed in.

Lordes sighed before she closed her eyes, relaxing herself as she did. But when she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face.

"Woah..Cogman?"

"Miss Aubree! What a pleasure it is to meet you!" Lordes saw a robot about her height who had the manner of a butler. Lordes smiled before she looked at Cade.

"You two know each other?"

"No. Not personally. Only by reputation." Lordes said before the elevator stopped on its own. "Woah! What's going on?!"

"That would be the elevator stopping, Miss."

"Yeah, no shit, Sherlock!" Cade spat before Cogman glared his optics. "Watch what you say to me, human!"

"You want some of this?!"

"Hey, hey!" Lordes shouted to them as they both looked her way. "We don't have time for this. Cade, Cogman. Cogman, Cade Yeager. There you know each other!"

Before one of them could say anything, the elevator doors opened and a TRF drone came and rammed into Cade, tossing him out the window of the elevator.

"Cade! Shit!" Lordes shouted as she jumped out the window after him. Cade lost his grip from the drone and began to free fall before Lordes shot down and caught him just in time. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just..peachy." Lordes chuckled softly before they landed on the ground. "I have to go back for Izzy and Cogman. Stay here."

Before she could even take off, she saw Cogman and Izabella approach with Bumblebee behind them.

"Thanks, Bee!" Lordes shouted as Bumblebee gave her a thumbs up.

"Miss Aubree, I am so glad to meet you at long last. Though, I do believe you go by Zara Prime now, yes?" Lordes' smile faded slightly as she nodded.

"I do. But, right now, I'm not as powerful as I was as Zara Prime. I don't feel like her anymore. So, for right now, I'm Lordes Aubree. That's it." She addressed Cogman and he nodded.

"Understood. Now, let's go to England, you two."
