I was having a fun time hanging out with Braelynn. Our day was well spent just shopping, talking, laughing and of course eating. It had been a while since we last hung out so I was enjoying the needed time with my best friend very much.

Right now we were sitting in Taco Bell just talking about our lives when we were interrupted by a loud explosion. I watched as dozens of people began screaming and running down the streets in a panic. Braelynn stood up and ran inside the building. I followed her out the front entrance. She came to a sudden stop causing me to run into her. I steadied myself and turned my attention towards the object she was so focused on.

My eyes widened in fear as I stared at the twenty foot tall robot in front of my eyes. It was just like the one Braelynn had described at my house and I was almost one hundred percent positive that it was one of the Decepticons Ron had been talking about.

"Is that. ."

I couldn't even finish my question. I was far too frightened. After receiving a small nod from BraelynnI gulped. The robot cocked its fairly large cannon and aimed it at the boutique next door to us. People were still running along the streets just trying to get away from the menacing monster. Another loud explosion sounded, this time shaking the ground at a momentum great enough to knock my best friend and I to the ground.

"We have to get out of here now," Braelynn exclaimed as she pulled me up with her.

"How are we supposed to do that? You left the keys back there on the table."

"We have to run."

My eyes widened and another shot sounded. "I can't run, Braelynn."

"You have to try! Now come on!" she yelled as she grabbed me by my hand.

She began pulling me down the crowded streets and I tried as hard as I possibly could to keep upbut it just wasn't quite working. A sharp pain coursed through my once injured knee and soon I was on the ground. I had pushed myself too far and there was no way I would be able to get up. This is exactly what I had been instructed not to do since I got my brace taken off.

Braelynn skidded to a stop and I looked at her. She gave me a frightened look and kneeled down to my level.

"You have to get up, Lea."

"I can't. I really can't, Brae," I told her.

A shot sounded causing her to look behind me. Her eyes widened in horror and she began yanking on my arm.

"No. You have to get up. You'll die if you don't and I am not going to let that happen," she exclaimed.

"Listen, I'm going to be okay. You need to go. Now."

The angry, yet sad tears were building up in her eyes. "I can't just leave you here!"

"You have to. I'll be fine. I promise. Now, go!" I demanded.

She hesitated before getting up and running back down the street.

More and more shots sounded along with more and more screams. I turned my head just enough to see three more large robots entering the scene, all of them oddly familiar to me in some way. One was a green-yellow color while the one beside him was all black. The last one was covered from head to toe in blue and red flame decals, very similar to the truck I had seen on my almost fatal run a while back. He was a few feet taller than the other two and seemed to be the leader of the group.
