(Y/n's POV)

As we ran out of the building, Megatron drove away.

"Sam! Y/n!" Optimus called for us.

Sam and I hopped into Optimus and we drove towards the forest nearby. I looked through the side door mirrors and saw MEgatron come through the trees and shoot at us.

"Optimus, watch out!" Megatron landed a few blows, causing Optimus to transform into his bot mode causing me and Sam to be launched out and into the ground. We immediately got on our feet as Optimus yelled at us to hide.

"Follow me!" I yelled to Sam as we ran through the woods past a bunch of treed as Optimus and Megatron wrestled with each other, tearing down trees and throwing dirt everywhere. Sam and I watched from a few trees away.

"Weak!" Optimus threw a tree at Megatron, and dirt fell on me and Sam. "Puny! Waste of metal!" he grunted, punching him and drawing his blades. "Junkyard crap!" and it went on for a moment before Megatron yelled.
"Decepticons!"

Suddenly the same helicopter from before flew in transformed, running towards us as his blades spun. Starscream made his entrance and knocked down a few more trees. "Come here, you two!" he growled out.

"Run!" I pushed Sam as we ran some more, trying to get away from Starscream. Looking back, Megatron was following us and Optimus tackled him away. The Decepticons ganged up on Optimus until Prime kicked away Starscream. We ran over to a fallen tree and hid behind it.

"There is another source of Energon hidden on this planet. The boy could lead us to it." Megatron said. We ran closer and watched in horror as Optimus fought alone against 4 Decepticons. Soon, Megatron kicked Optimus in the face, causing his battle mask to break apart.

"Optimus!" Sam and I screamed. He was down and the Decepticons took their change to fight. MEgatron shot at Optimus, causing him to fly towards us. "Get down!" I shoved Sam down as Optimus crashed into the ground and skidded away from us, spitting something out.

"Optimus!" I yelled in worry as Sam and I stayed hidden behind the tree.

"Is the future of our race not worth a single human life? Two for that matter." he growled. Sam yelled at him to get up.

"Get up! Fight!" I yelled.

"You'll never stop at one!" he drew his blades again. "I'll take you all on!" the fight ensued. Sam and I stayed hidden as debris and dirt were getting in my eyes and dirtying my clothes. I peeked through the roots and saw Optimus rip one of the 'Con's face in half. Throwing him down, and calling him a piece of tin.

"Sam, Y/n, where are you!?" he yelled. But, Megatron came up behind him and stabbed him through the chest. Optimus yelled out in pain as my eyes widened.
"You're so weak!" Megatron teased and shot him right through his open spark chamber.

As if the world slowed down, Optimus fell right in front of us. Tears started to fill my eyes as he uttered his last words.

"Run...ru..." his optics went out and he fell limp. Optimus...

Following his final orders, we ran. Luckily, Ironhide and the other Autobots made it, but it was too late. Ratchet ordered us to get into Bee and for him to get us to safety, followed by Skids and Mudflap. Sam and I panted as we could finally catch our breath. We looked at each other with tears in our eyes, and I finally broke. Sam pulled me in for a hug and I started to cry. Leo and Mikaela knew exactly what had happened. I pulled my phone out and dialed a number, letting it ring.

"This is Lennox."

"Sir...Its L/n." I said.

"Y/n, what happened? An Autobot signal just went offline."

"It's Optimus, sir... he's dead. Megatron shot him right through the spark chamber." I said with a sniffle. He fell silent.

"Are you two okay?"

"Yeah, we're fine."

"Good. Look, find cover and stay hidden. We'll cover your signals, alright?"

"Okay, thanks Will." I hung up my phone and wiped away my face, feeling how dirty my hands were. Bumblebee pulled us into what looks like an abandoned building with brick walls. Stepping out and shutting the door, I walked away from them with no words. Making my way to a secluded area, I pulled my hair and took deep breaths as I paced back and forth. Tears streamed down my face as the grief settled in.

Optimus was gone, which meant danger for everyone on Earth.
