3rd P.O.V

"So what about the deal? Is it done? Did you get the Seed?" Joshua asked Mr. Attinger "We get it when the bounty hunter gets Prime" he said "Uh-huh" "Meanwhile, there has been a complication" "A what? No, no. At KSI, we don't use words like that" "A civilian harboring the Autobots has hacked into one of your mini-drones. Meaning, they may know of your involvement" "What?"

Meanwhile 

Outside Shane went to meet up with Tessa and the rest of the autobots "That was a little bit intense" he said

Meanwhile 

Joshua was stunned at what he had just heard "I need more Transformium, and I need it now, to build more prototypes. You tell your alien bounty hunter that I have staked my company on this deal" Joshua said 

"And I have merely staked my life" Attinger said "Hey, you came to me on this, remember? You retire from the CIA, you get a seven-figure piece of my company, and you and I revolutionize national defense together. But, Attinger, buddy, for both our sakes, you need to deliver the Seed"

Alexia P.O.V

Cade and I walked in and he gave me a look "What?" I asked and I turned around. They were melting Ratchet's head. I covered my mouth and held in my tears "I'm in. Can you see my camera? They're melting Ratchet" Cade said

3rd P.O.V

Prime grew angry at what he saw "They slaughtered Ratchet! I'm gonna tear them apart!" he said and broke a lamp post and Bee took off.

Alexia P.O.V

I stood there "Metal. Just metal. That's what I always thought of them" this lady said "Well, they're not" I said holding back the angry I had in me "They're living things, with souls like ours. Once, I spoke to one" Cade said 

"And you're working with Transformium?" "Uh, yeah, that's what we do. We are" "I'm out there digging for it. There's just not much left to find"

She opened something and looked inside "So that's how badly you boys need more, huh? Reduced to melting evil old Decepticons down" she said "No. That's an Autobot there. The ones who fought for us" I said. It took everything in me to no yell at the people who were melting Ratchet. He was my friend and I tried helping him escape.

3rd P.O.V

Joshua and Attinger walked into the control room "I've got this taken care of from here. Right. Same badge code scanned at two separate gates. I'm having the classified area locked down now" a guard said to Joshua

They were having people line up to check badges. Alexia and Cade kinda started walking away from them and Attinger noticed and gave the guard a look "Check that guy" the guard walkied "Hey! Stop right there!" the guard yelled.

Alexia and Cade ran away "Stop! Freeze!" while this was going on the autobots were headed towards them.

Alexia P.O.V

We jumped over a security thing and then we had guns pointing at us "Up against the wall" "All right".

They put us in cuffs and we were in an elevator going up " Corporate espionage. That's a very serious crime, Mr. Yeager. And Ms. Witwicky" the bald guy said to us.

Meanwhile

Bumblebee saw a nice upgrade on the way to KSI and changed his look.

Alexia P.O.V

They took off our handcuffs and sat us down in chairs "Look, I want a lawyer. The Justice Department. Somebody I can trust. I'm just trying to protect my family, okay? Not from your company, from the government" Cade said 

"Mr. Yeager, who do you think I work for? You're trying to protect your family, that's admirable. I'm trying to defend the nation from alien war. We've had a taste of what that looks like, and we are not gonna tolerate another. Now... There is a version of this conversation where you get to go back to your barn, your daughter gets to graduate with honors, and life as you know it will go on" the guy in glasses said

Then he looked at me "And you get to go home to your brother and you can continue working for the military. You have no idea what you're involved with here" 

"Really? What's the other version of this conversation? The one when you send in the hired help to murder my little girl? Or you gonna man up and do it yourself?" 

"What's your preference? I'm going to ask you this once. Where is Optimus Prime?"

I sat there, I still had the radio but luckily the radio could transform into anything including a phone. 

3rd P.O.V

Bumblebee stopped outside KSI giving Tessa and Shane the chance to get out. Just then all of the autobots came crashing in. Bee was going to get Cade and Alexia, she felt the phone vibrate and knew she had to grab Cade in the next 15 seconds.

She stood up and the same time Attinger was looking behind him at the helicopter that was coming up with Bumblebee being the surprise guest. Alexia grabbed Cade and pulled him to the ground. She stood up and Bee had his arm out "Come on. Let's get out of here" he said.

Joshua was with his security team "We're moving. Basement" the guard said. As they were on the elevator it moved "They're here" Joshua said.

Prime and the rest of the autobots were heard to where they had the copies. Crosshairs went into first and started shooting at the roof to get everyone's attention "Get out! All of you!" Prime yelled "Science fair's over, meatbags!" Hound said "Destroy the lab!" Prime said

Joshua and his security team were moving "Move, move, move, move! Look out! Look out!" "Destroy it all!" Prime yelled "Danger! Security breach! Danger..."  said a KSI robot that was shot at "Guys! It's me! Break me out of this Frankenstein box!" Brains yelled.

Joshua made it to where Prime and the other autobots were "Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop! That's company property!" he yelled "They're not your property! They were my friends" Prime said

 "Oh, you ain't talking so much now! You got Hound in front of you, huh?" Brains said as Hound pointed his gun at Joshua "Go ahead. Show us your true colors, once and for all" Joshua said

Prime knew this was a test "Just give me the word, I'll splatter him" Hound said, Prime put his hand up telling Hound not to "Why don't you tell Itchy Fingers here that this is all the spoils of war. Dead metal. Innovation. What we do here is science. Because if we don't do it, somebody else will. Because you cannot stop technology!" 

"We're not your technology!" Prime yelled. He broke something that was close to Joshua "Let me vaporize his ass" Hound said "I broke the code. I own your whole genome" Joshua said 

"The world will know what you're doing here" Prime said 

"The world? The world will approve. We can make you now. Don't you get it? We don't need you anymore" 

"That was cruel" Hound said "Autobots, we're done" Prime said "We're done? We're not gonna kick a little bit of ass?" Brains asked

They turned around "I've been itching to kill something lately" Hound said 

New Chapter is here. This book might have more chapters than my other books, which I'm loving so far, I'm glad I could have Alexia in this story
