I kept following the corridor which led into a large room with very short pedestals. Hmm....interesting. I walk up to one of them and see Cybertronian symbols upon it. Uhhhhh, I can't read this. How do I read Cybertronian? Because I don't know how. Heh, maybe Optimus will come down this way and know what these symbols mean. I look at the tops of the pedestals, nothing upon them but what looked like gem holders. I then glance at the relic on my arm, the purple gem seemed to be the same size.

"This must've been where the gems were kept until this ship crashed." I said aloud.

"Indeed, but how did you know to come this way?" Optimus voice was behind me.

"I don't know, just had a feeling that something was down here." I said and looked at the other pedestals.

6 pedestals in total, each with a gem holder. All of them empty. Now where could the other gems be? I kept looking at the symbols upon the pedestals, still quite confused on what they said. I squint at the symbols hoping to see something, nothing. 

"Dangit, what do these say?" I ask Optimus.

He kneeled down to look at the pedestal's symbols. He read each and every one carefully.

"Each one has a different meaning. This one reads 'Kindness', this one 'Love', 'Bravery', 'Determination', 'Selflessness', and lastly, 'Courage'." He read them to me.

"Huh, well I wonder which this one is." I look at the relic.

The lone purple stone began glowing in the direction of the pedestals. I follow to see which one it glowed the brightest by. Not kindness, not love, not determination, not selflessness, it came down between bravery and courage. I pointed my wrist towards bravery, the glow dimmed a bit. I pointed it towards courage, the glow brightened.

"Courage? What courage could I POSSIBLY have?" I said aloud, forgetting the Autobot in the room with me.

"I have seen you display courage, Sky. You have confronted Decepticons on your own and never displayed any fear, although I'm sure you felt afraid on the inside." Optimus said.

"Maybe, I guess." I said nervously.

It felt nice to get a compliment from Optimus himself. My heart beats faster and feels warm and fuzzy. No! This is wrong! Why do I feel like this?! I'm just a weird human being with strange feelings. I took a deep breath and continued looking at the pedestals.

That's when I felt the atmosphere get very heavy, my skin felt tingly and something was off. I gasped and turned around, seeing nothing there. Optimus looked at me strangely, then looking at where I was looking.

"Sky, is something wrong?" He asked.

"Optimus, someone or something is coming. And it's bad, REALLY bad!" I yelped.

I started backing away from the doorway, feeling really uneasy. He stood up and faced the doorway, unwielding his massive sword. Something is going to happen, something bad. I can feel it. Heavy footsteps echoed through the corridor we just walked through, several. It's not just one. I had to back up a few steps because the air was getting thicker and thicker. That's when I saw THEM. The Fallen, Megatron from the last knight, Lockdown, Starscream.

How did they know we'd be here? I may not know, but Optimus and I are screwed. It's 4 against 2, the odds are against us big time. The Decepticons glared at me, and the relic upon my wrist.

"Human, you have something we desire." The Fallen's voice boomed.

His ruby red eyes stared into mine as I was speechless. Not so much from fear, but from shock. Shock that he was actually here in front of me, all of the Decepticon villains are. But, being around the Fallen gives me a strange feeling as well. Like, we're the same somehow, and he seems rather confused as he looks at me.

"I'm already aware of that, and I don't trust any of you as far as I can throw you." I state.

"That's physically impossible." Starscream growled.

"No shit, that's my point." I sassed.

Optimus readied his sword and looked down at me, "Get ready to run..."

"Get the human!" Megatron roared.

I took that as my cue to book it. I turned and ran as fast as I could towards the corridor between all of the upcoming chaos, I heard lots of metal on metal and clashes behind me, that's not very nice to hear if you're ever curious. But 2 of them was chasing me, I turn my head to see The Fallen aand Lockdown were in hot pursuit, well I'm good as dead. But I won't show fear, mainly because it's still disbelief. I made several turns to try and escape, but I accidentally run into a room where there is only a large abyss as a hole and I stopped just before the edge.

I cornered myself, dammit! I turn around to see the two mechs catch up and walk in. The Fallen let out an evil laugh, I'm gonna say it's the CREEPIEST thing I've ever heard. They both came closer and I was right on the edge into the abyss below.

"You have nowhere to go, now give us the relic!" He ordered.

"Even if I wanted to, IT WON'T COME OFF." I exclaimed.

I started pulling on the relic and it began hissing loudly which confused both the mechs, they look at each other with strange glances. They then look back at me.

"Rather unusual, but we don't care. If you don't hand it over, we will have no choice but to kill you. Or I will, just like the other humans who came here." Lockdown glared at me.

"What is your PROBLEM with anyone who comes here?! They were innocent girls, and you SLAUGHTERED them!!! I don't understand how ANY of you can be so fucking COLD. Enjoy others suffering and mistfortune, I just don't understand how you can murder someone and feel pleasure behind it." I snap.

"Because those humans were not meant to be here, neither are you..." a softer female voice came from behind the mechs.

The voice was familiar, the mechs stepped out of the way. I was a bit confused, until I saw the deceiver herself float into the room. Her bright blue eyes looked down upon me with no emotion whatsoever. She came down to me level and approached me, I was in much surprise.

"You do not understand what this world beholds, things that do not exist where you come from. Such as this." Quintessa reached for the relic on my wrist, I quickly pulled it away from her.

"So? I've been here for weeks and not much is exactly different." I told her.

"Perhaps not, but this relic was created by myself and I need it back." Her voice changed tone slightly, like she was trying to play a trick on me.

"I don't trust you, I know you have bad intentions for it. If rather die than give this back to you." I say.

Quintessas expression turned into a grimace, "So be it."

She gave a hard push and I fell backwards into the abyss. I didn't scream as I fell, nor cry, nor panic. I was only falling.

I could hear my ribs crack from how hard Quintessa pushed me. Everything around me became pitch black as I fell deeper and deeper into the hole. Then a bright blue flash occurred and I hit the ground face first, blacking out as I felt the pain spread. Black
