Elektra.

We were now heading down the highway, a public highway. Innocent people all around us in their cars, they drove ahead, not knowing what was to come. I glanced in the backwards mirror and frowned as I saw an army truck and a police car begin following us from behind, I looked at the army trucks markings and shook my head, I didn't recognize them.

"This isn't good..he's not with us."

I told Sam, pointing back at the army truck following us from behind, Sam frowned as he turned and looked at the police car, shaking his head. Optimus and the other cars began trying to block it out the way and my eyes widened as the army truck reached out an arm, yes an arm and began throwing innocent cars out of the way, before fully transforming into a huge robot.

"Oh my god.."

I breathed, absolutely shocked. Optimus then changed into a robot as well, as the army truck robot began skating up the highway at full speed  towards us, Optimus was only a few feet behind us. The army truck robot then lunged at Optimus, throwing Optimus and himself off the edge of the highway out of sight. I gasped and tried not to think of all the innocent people down there, instead I thought of Optimus.

"He's going to be okay, right?"

I asked, glancing at Sam, Sam nodded, smiling a little.

"Oh yeah, Optimus, he's tough. Real tough."

Sam assured me, I nodded as we carried on driving, we were now officially in the city, my father and his team around us as we drove through it, a lot of civilians gave us odd, terrified and confused looks as we drove past. I looked up as I saw an M22 air force plane fly overheard. We all stopped in the middle of the street and got out of the cars. I heard Rob talking into the radio, as green smoke bombs were let off, telling the air force to cover the green smoke area. Bumblebee and another robot, who I assume was on our side began lifting up an truck, my Dad shouted.

"No, no, no, no! MOVE!"

He yelled, they were now two huge robots outside of the green smoke, the air force would consider them a threat. I screamed at Bumblebee to move but the truck they were holding was shot at, it blew up, throwing everyone into the air. I groaned as I landed face down on the concrete, I lifted my head and saw Sam, who was now looking at me, he slid his hand across the concrete and put his hand on top of mine to comfort me. He then sat up slightly and crawled over to me.

"You okay, El?"

He asked, I nodded slowly and he stood up, holding his hands out for me, I took them and  stood up, sighing as nothing hurt. I looked around, my eyes immediately searching for my Dad, Rob, Ryan and his  team.

"Dad!? Rob!? Ryan!?"

I screamed, I slowly saw figures emerging from rubble and standing up, my Dad, Rob, Ryan and his team among them,they seemed to be fine but it was my father, I ran over to them just to make sure. Dad was looking around, his eyes alert, his sighed in relief when he saw me running towards him, he opened his arms for me and I ran into them as he pulled me into a quick hug, brushing some dust out of my hair.

"You okay, baby?"

He asked me, I nodded and then he pulled out of the hug and looked at Rob, pushing him.

"What the hell was that!?"

Dad shouted, Rob looked  confused.

"What do you mean what the hell was that!? The air force would never fly between the buildings, that was alien, not friendly!"

Rob shouted back, I frowned and looked up at the sky, seeing more air crafts flying around. I saw Sam talking to Bumblebee, except Bumblebee was crawling. I left my Dad's side, leaving him to do his job as I ran over to Sam, noticing Bumblebee had lost his legs. Sam was urging him to get up, I felt tears in my eyes as I watched Bee trying to get up, his eyes full of sadness, I wrapped my arms around Sam's waist as we realized Bee wouldn't be able to walk. Suddenly there was loud gun fire and my head snapped over to my left as Sam pushed me behind him a little. A tank was making its way down the road, shooting over at where my father, Rob and Ryan were, it was showing no mercy, shooting at innocent people and rolling over cars. Sam left my side to sit down near Bumblebee and I roughly wiped away tears that were rolling down my face with the back of my hand, that tank was coming down here, there was no way he'd be able to get out of the way in time. I couldn't just leave him, I looked around, looking for someone or something that could help, my eyes caught sight of a tow truck, I glanced at it, then to Bumblebee and then to the tank that was coming towards us. I ran towards the tow truck.

"Elektra, get out of here!"

Ryan yelled, the place where he was based being near by. I glanced over at him, shaking my head.

"I can't!"

I yelled back, grabbing a pipe from the floor and using it to smash the trucks window, I ducked down to avoid the pieces of smashed glass and then dropped the pipe, reaching my arm through the broken window and unlocking the door.

"What the hell do you think your doing!?"

Ryan yelled at me, I glanced at him again, pointing over at Bumblebee and Sam.

"I'm not going to leave him!"

I shouted back as I flung the tow trucks door open and got in, quickly getting down and trying to hot wire it, rubbing the two wires together but nothing happened, I looked up at the tank, still cruising down the road towards Bumblebee and Sam.

"Come on, damn it!"

I shouted in frustration as I carried on rubbing the wires together. I heard gunfire as my father and his team began shooting at the Discepticon, I glanced up as I rubbed the wires together and saw Autobots attacking it as well. I knew they would win but I couldn't leave Bee in the middle of it all, I had to get him out of there. I bent down and continued to rub the wires together.

"COME ON!"

I yelled, getting more and more annoyed, my father had taught me how to do this and id done it a million times as practice and had got it straight away but the one time I actually needed to have it done straight away, it wouldn't work. Finally it worked, I grinned and got in the drivers seat, looking behind me as I backed out of the alley way and got out onto the road, I pulled up beside Sam and Bumblebee, quickly getting out of the truck again. Sam was sat on the floor, holding onto the cube but he stood up as soon as I got out.

"Help me with this."

I told him and we began wiring Bumblebee to that back of the tow truck.

"SAM!"

I heard my father yell, we looked up as we carried on working to get Bumblebee attached to the truck as my father, Rob and Ryan ran over. Their weapons at the ready.

"Where's the cube?"

Dad asked Sam, Sam pointed to it.

"Right there."

He told him, Dad nodded and gave Sam orders, Dad then looked at me and grabbed my arm, stopping me from attaching Bumblebee to the truck, he spun me around to face him.

"Babe, you need to get out of her now."

He told me, I shook my head.

"No, I cant."

I told him, he frowned.

"El, you need to get out of here, now, okay?!"

Dad shouted, trying to pull me away. I pulled my arm out of his grip.

"I'm not leaving until I get Bee out of here. Okay?"

My Dad frowned, putting both hands on my shoulders and shaking me.

"Ive seen what we're up against, we've lost some of our team already, i'm not sure if I'm going to survive this but your mother, she can't lose us both and if I make this and you don't..it will be my fault and I can't lose you, El, okay?! Please, Elektra, get out of here, please!"

He pleased, his eyes brimming with tears at the thought of losing me, it pained me to see him like this but I couldn't leave Bumblebee in the middle of it all, unable to fight back. I shook my head as I heard Rob and his team shouting my Dad as I took his hands off of my shoulders and began walking away from him.

"Elektra, don't do this, please!"

He shouted after me, I knew he would have no choice now but to go back to his team, he had to. I headed back to Bumblebee, continuing to attach him to the truck. I heard Dad still shouting after me, pleading with me to get out of here but I ignored him, hearing the sounds of firing, Rob and Ryan shouting for him to come and help them, to give orders. I glanced over to where Dad had been stood and saw him running back towards his men, I sighed and carried on working.

"Elektra!"

I heard Sam shout, I spun around as Sam quickly jogged over to me, I jumped down off the truck and looked at him, giving him a questioning look. He looked from Bumblebee, to me and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you."

He breathed, I didn't need to ask what he was thanking me for, I nodded.

"Be careful, please?"

I told him, he smiled a little, knowing I was concerned for his safety, although I hadn't known him long, he had really made an impression. He nodded at me, smiling before running off, the cube in his hands. I grinned before getting back to working on Bumblebee, I began working faster as I saw Discepticons coming towards us, my Dad looked back from where he was.

"ELEKTRA! YOU BOTH NEED TO MOVE, NOW!"

He shouted over at me, I fastened my pace.

"I'm going, I'm going!"

I shouted back, quickly finishing up attaching Bee to the truck as the robot got closer, I grinned as I slapped my hand down on Bee's leg. Telling him I was finished, I then got into the truck and drove out of the way and pulled up in an alley that was out of the way, I sighed and leaned back against the seat, closing my eyes in relief. Happy I had got Bee out of the way, I felt tears roll down my face as I remembered Dad, Rob, Ryan, Sam and his team were out there, fighting. Dad needed all the help he could get, I wanted to go back out there, I looked back at Bumblebee and saw he was already looking at me, he nodded and a smirk spread across my face.

"Il drive, you shoot!"

I told Bumblebee, he nodded and got his guns ready as I began reversing out of the alley way.

"Dad's gonna kill me.."
