Hi guys!

I am so happy to announce the tenth chapter of Soul in a Spark! I still love writing this story and it makes me so very happy that I haven't had any problems writing it so far (i probably just jinxed myself).

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, I really like reading them even if its only asking me to update soon, it shows that people are interested and enjoying reading it and that all I really want.

So yeah, please review and let me know what you think, as I've said before anyone with any crazy ideas they'd like to see Faelan try please tell me, I guarantee she will have fun try them out.

Also in this chapter you start to see just what Faelan's abilities are, don't worry if you get confused I'm going to be explaining it fully in another chapter or so.

Enjoy!


Meanwhile the others were all running around in a constrained sort of panic at realising Faelan was obviously nowhere near them and they had no clue where she was.

"It must have been when that jet attacked," said Lennox pulling his hair slightly in frustration. "I had hold of her just before that."

"But where did she go, she couldn't have gone that far!" cried Sam still looking around for any sign of his best friend. "She's still wearing skates for fuck's sake!"

"Army Black Hawk inbound to your location. Over." They all stared at the radio in Epps' hand awkwardly for a moment, they'd have to hope she found them because unfortunately they really needed to get the Allspark out of here.

Epps brought the radio up to his mouth. "Alpha two seven three degrees, ten miles. November Victor, one point two clicks north."

They all started as a shot was fired from down the street and turned to see a tank rolling towards them, crushing anything in its path completely uncaring about the vehicles and humans in its way.

"Move out! Let's go!" called Lennox as Jazz and Ratchet, who barrelled out of a side street, went haring off in the direction of the tank dodging any obstacles in their path. Civilians around them were screaming and running away from all the robots, just trying to get away from these metal titans.

Sam had run back over to Bumblebee but Mikaela was looking around frantically, the only way they were going to be able to help Bee was if they could move him away from the fighting, they needed… A determined look spread across her face as she spotted a tow truck between all the running people and started running over to it, she was not going to stand around being useless!

Sam was staring at Bee helplessly but refusing to move. "I'm not gonna leave you." He reached out to touch Bee's servo reassuringly and tried not to think about the fact that they couldn't find his best friend already, he couldn't afford to let Bee leave his sight too.

Bumblebee whined softly and glanced down the street at where the others were fighting Devastator. Ironhide had transformed back into his alt-mode and was dodging debris and people with great skill performing an impressive somersault to dodge one missile that came right down the middle of the street. Ratchet had disappeared somewhere but Jazz had sped up and transformed in a spin flip to get up on top of the tank's turret and yanked it viciously.

"Come on, Decepticon punk!" he growled taking out his frustration at losing his charge on the Con. The Con responded by transforming but Jazz managed to kick off one of his shoulder canons before he was grabbed and thrown into a nearby building.

Ironhide rolled to a stop in front of Devastator and began firing off his chest plates being careful not to hit Jazz who was now slightly in front of him and had joined in targeting the Con's chassis. Ratchet then came shooting out of a side street and transformed mid flip activating his saws and taking off one of Devastator's arms before landing neatly on his pedes.

Lennox was behind them ordering his men to their best advantage. "Concentrate your fire!" Their combined fire sent the Con falling backwards into a shop front and going still.

They all froze in disbelief as a figure appeared out of the alley by the store and stopped for a moment peering at the Con before whistling impressed.

"Damn, you guys started the fun without me." Everyone gaped in shock for a moment before Jazz ran forward scooping the girl up in his servos.

"Where the pit have you been?" he scolded checking her over. Faelan groaned under her breath, she knew he was going to go all mother hen on her.

"Got blown away in Starscream's attack," she mumbled grumpily putting up with Jazz's scans for a moment longer before losing her patience and jumping back down to the ground ignoring his protests. "You can't carry me around while you're fighting Jazz, it's not practical. Besides," she said with a feral grin. "I want some action myself you know." She picked up a discarded rocket launcher with a grin and checked it over for ammunition and to make sure it was functional before shouldering it, she was going to need serious fire power to get through the Cons' armour.

Meanwhile Mikaela had reached the tow truck and was trying to hotwire it. "Come on. Come on," she growled trying to spark the wires. She gave a cry of triumph when the engine roared into life and slammed the door closed heading towards Bumblebee.

A movement in the corner of Faelan's eye caught her attention and she stiffened at the sight of Megatron landing on the ground. "Fuck."

The other humans had also noticed him and the civilians were all running screaming trying to get as far from him as possible, even they could feel the malicious aura that seemed to seep off him.

"It's Megatron!" called Jazz in warning. "Retreat!"

"Move!"

"Fall back!" ordered Jazz firing at the Decepticon leader to distract him while the humans retreated.

"Fall back!" yelled Lennox worriedly, it had been bad enough being confronted with him as a frozen statue, now that he was mobile and able to retaliate Lennox didn't want anyone near him, not even the Autobots if they could help it. "Get our guys out of the way! Get out of here! Go! Get them out of the buggy! Move out!"

"We need air cover down here, now!" screamed Epps into the radio frantically as they fell back to their original position. Oh god they really needed air support if they wanted to survive this.

Faelan's eyes narrowed as she noticed Jazz was the only one not retreating from Megatron. "Idiot."

She ran after him paying no attention to Lennox who was screaming at her to come back and reached Megatron just as he grabbed hold of Jazz who started struggling, writhing like an eel in an attempt to break the hold the Con had on him. The Decepticon just laughed and powered his jets up, Faelan managed to latch onto his pede just as he took off in to the sky. She shut her eyes and held on for dear life, she didn't dare look to see how high they were.

Moments later she felt a shudder run through the metal she was clinging to indicating that they had landed on something, she inched an eye open to look around before her eyes flew open at the sight of the street very far below her. Faelan whimpered slightly, she'd never considered herself scared of heights but oh god this was way too high and she was going to die!

Jazz called from above her, "That all you got, Megatron?"

"Come here, little cretin," growled the Decepticon leader squeezing his claw around the saboteur. She flinched at the creaking sound of metal and lay back so she was lying flat out on his pede pointing the rocket launcher up at his face.

"You want a piece of me? You want a piece?" taunted Jazz shooting at Megatron with his pistol.

"No!" hissed the Con wrapping both servos around the bot and causing him to scream in pain. "I want two!" And then to her horror he started pulling his servos apart intending to rip Jazz in two.

"Oi Megabutt!" she yelled catching their attention.

Jazz's optics widened in shock and he started struggling even more, he couldn't let the lil lady die, she was still just a sparkling! Megatron was just in disbelief that a human had managed to attach to him without his notice.

"Haven't you ever heard of David and Goliath? Don't pick on the little guy, its bad karma!" Then she pulled the trigger.

Megatron roared in pain and anger as the rocket hit his face, it didn't do a lot of damage but the shock more than anything caused him to drop Jazz and kick his pede out flinging Faelan off and into empty space.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as she flew off his pede and hung in open air for a moment before beginning to drop. It was strange how calm she was now when she was falling from the top of a multi-story building. Her breathing slowed right down and her eyes closed as the air rushed past her as she continued her descent finding herself falling through the air to death for the second time in as many days.

This wasn't the way she wanted her life to end, she thought she live to be a crazy old cat lady or something, one who shot trespassers. But actually, saving the life of someone who she considered a friend… yeah that wasn't a bad way to go. She just hoped her family would forgive her.

Then time sped up again as she was grabbed around the middle and jerked to a stop, she opened her eyes in surprise and saw Jazz's visor twinkling down at her.

"Hold tight lil lady, Ah ain't lettin' you die after a stunt like that."

Her breath came out in a rush as Jazz suddenly dropped and debris rained down on them from above as Megatron raged, Jazz cradled her to his chassis accidently knocking her head as he did so and twisted frantically to try and land in a better position. Faelan was cursing, her damn headache was coming back, she was going to spending most of this battle unconscious at this rate.

She was jarred even more as they landed and she smacked her head against his spark chamber as he cursed when his legs failed to support him and Jazz collapsed against the ground, Megatron had obviously done some serious damage when he had tried to tear him in two because there was definitely something wrong with his legs. Faelan groaned groggily as she got double vision and curled up in a ball to fight off a bout of nausea, seriously, her first battle and she wasn't even going to fight because she kept cracking her head, this sucked.

"Are you alright?" asked Jazz worried as he propped himself up against the building behind him, he'd heard her groaning and realised she'd been hurt.

"Hit my head a few times," she slurred staying curled up. "Can't see straight."

He frowned and glanced up, he really hoped that Megatron was going to ignore them now they were out of sight, he was in no position to defend them and by the sound of it Faelan wouldn't be able to run away without falling over. He looked back down at her when he heard her murmuring and moving around, she was pulling out all of her weapons for some reason and he was only slightly surprised to see that she had been telling the truth about how many she was carrying on her.

"What are you doing?" he asked curiously, he didn't think she'd be able to see well enough to fight in her state and didn't understand why she was removing her weapons.

"Shhh," she whispered. "Gotta give orders."

"What?"

She ignored and seemed to speak to her weapons making him wonder exactly how hard she had hit her head. "Gotta protect the Allspark, Cons can't get it. Help Autobots ok? Don't want them to hurt anymore."

Jazz was utterly baffled, why was she talking to her weapons? His thoughts were abruptly cut off as each weapon glowed slightly and began emitting motes of golden light that coalesced into humanoid figures. A few seconds later he was staring in a mixture of shock and awe as they seemed to solidify and nine humans (or beings that looked human anyway) were standing around him and between them they were armed with Faelan's weapons.

One of them came forward and knelt to stroke Faelan's hair gently, "We will help the Autobots, the Allspark will be safe."

She nodded smiling slightly goofy before going limp and collapsing on Jazz's servo into unconsciousness for the second time that day.

"What. The. Pit?" All nine turned to look at the Autobot and several of them grinned at his deadpan expression.

"Can you move?" asked the one who had stroked Faelan's hair.

Jazz grimaced, "I dunno if you can see as a weapon but Megatron did some damage when he tried to rip me in two, my legs aren't really working."

The man nodded and straightened turning to the others who all lined up and straightened in attention, waiting for their orders like soldiers. "Slick, Sleek, Sneak and Sliver you guys help evacuate any civilians still in the area, then help any of the injured soldiers it would be a damn shame if they went through everything in Quatar to die here." The four silver haired teens he'd addressed nodded and ran off into the battle splitting up to cover more ground.

"Blaze, Blast, do as much damage to those Cons as possible, provide a distraction if the soldiers need it." The red headed identical twins both drew two glocks with wide grins and whopped their feet glowing slightly before transforming their sneakers into rollerblades, they skated off at great speed cackling with glee making the man roll his eyes in exasperation muttering about Faelan being a bad influence before turning to the final pair a masked male and female with blank eyes. "Bran, Brenna, same orders. Destroy those Cons." The two silently nodded and quickly followed after the red heads.

Jazz turned his attention to the man who didn't seem to have intention of leaving, it had been a bit surreal listening to them being named, he knew they were the weapons (for pit's sake he'd watched it happen) but it really confirmed it to hear they being called the names that Faelan had told him.

"You're Cutthroat right?" he asked, the man looked to be in about his early twenties with black hair pulled back in a short tail and (to Jazz's slight discomfort) blood red eyes.

Cutthroat grinned sharply and nodded hopping up into his servo to crouch by Faelan. "So you do remember what she said, I'm impressed," he told him, and he was, not many people would have taken what she said seriously and he was sure that Jazz had never really expected them to be alive. "I will remain with you, someone has to be able to fight if a Con is stupid enough to come this way."

They shared smirks, just because Jazz couldn't move didn't mean that his weapons system wasn't working and Cutthroat certainly hadn't got his name because he was a pacifist, yeah no one was going to hurt Faelan anymore.


Lennox was cursing everything to hell and back but mostly their luck at getting caught in the middle of a fucking alien war. He couldn't see any of the Autobots but he was sure they were fighting Decepticons somewhere nearby, he was trying very hard not to think about seeing Faelan latch onto Megatron a few minutes ago in an attempt to rescue Jazz, they'd all seen the two fall from the top of the building and he really didn't want to think about where they had survived the fall, so he concentrate on his men instead.

"What's going on?"

Burke turned to him with a grim look. "Sir! That tank thing's getting back up."

"Oh, these things just don't die," he groaned peering over some rubble to see Devastator standing back up and boy did he look pissed. The soldiers all froze as they heard a roar nearby and glanced up to see Blackout, the Con who had attacked them in Quatar, land on a nearby building. "Oh, we're so dead."

He turned back to spot that Mikaela had arrived at some point with a tow truck and she and Sam were currently loading Bumblebee onto the back of it.

"Wrap it around the head," said Sam pointing to a chain as Lennox approached them at a run.

"Sam!" he called. "Where's the Cube?"

"Right there," Sam replied pointing to where it was sitting on the corner of the tow truck.

"Okay," Lennox muttered running past and looking around at the landmarks.

Sam and Mikaela were still trying to hook Bee up to the truck. "And take that and wrap it around the base and then put it around his neck, okay?"

Lennox nodded to himself spotting a distinctive white building crowned with white statues. "Epps, get those Black Hawks here! That building." He ran back over to the teens. "Okay."

Sam: turned to him confused. "What?"

"Alright, I can't leave my guys back there, so here," panted Lennox pulling out a metal tube, "take this flare. Okay, there's a tall, white building with statues on top. Go to the roof. Set the flare."

Sam gaped at him for a moment before shaking his head. "No."

Lennox ignored him and continued: "Signal the chopper and set the flare-"

Sam shook his head again. "No, no. I can't do this!"

Lennox grabbed the front of his shirt and pushed him up against the truck in frustration. "Listen to me! You're a soldier now! Alright? I need you to take this Cube. Get it into military hands while we hold them off, or a lot of people are gonna die."

Sam nodded shakily before pausing. "What about Faelan? Did anyone find her?"

Lennox grimaced slightly, "Yeah we found her, she's with Jazz." Technically it was the truth, they just didn't know if the two were alive after their entanglement with Megatron. He then turned to Mikaela and tried to push her into leaving. "You got to go. You got to go."

Mikaela shook her head determined. "No, I'm not leaving."

"You need to go. No, get out!"

She shook her head again and stood firm. "No, I'm not leaving till I get Bumblebee out of here, okay?"

He stared at her for a moment before nodding, well he had to give her props for determination most adults would be running away screaming in this situation, but all three teens were made of stern stuff because they weren't going anywhere and in Faelan's case well… she ran towards the danger. He wondered if he could talk her into joining the army.


"Army Black Hawk requested," said Epps clearly into the radio. "Immediate evac for civilian boy with precious cargo. Headed to rooftop marked by flare."

Ironhide and Ratchet had re-joined them by this point and were standing over Sam. "Sam, we will protect you."

He nodded gulping nervously. "Okay."

"Epps, where are those planes?" yelled Lennox running back over to join his men. Ironhide stared after him approvingly, he'd been very impressed so far with how Lennox's team were handling the situation.

"Sam!" called Mikaela running back over to him. "No matter what happens, I'm really glad I got in that car with you," she whispered hugging him.

Sam stared at her for a moment, if he wasn't in the middle of a battle field this would be perfect, and if Faelan were here she'd be telling them to just fucking kiss already you morons!

"Sam!" shouted Ironhide bringing his attention back to the present. "Get to the building!"

"Move!" order Ratchet alongside him.

"Decepticons, attack!" Megatron roared still on top of the building.

"Hit it!" yelled Burke, one of Lennox's unit, as they fired at Devastator who seemed to have recovered now and was beginning to fire back at them.

"Cover fire!" Ratchet shouted as Sam started running forward, he glanced back briefly to see Bumblebee with his mask down and his cannon on so he could defend Mikaela while she worked. He turned back to the front in time to see Blackout touch down in front of him making him skid to a halt.

"Watch out!" yelled Ironhide shooting at the helicopter Con.

"Girl, get that tow truck out of here!" shouted one of the soldiers.

Mikaela hissed in frustration securing the last chain. "I'm going! I'm going!"

"Get out of here now!" bellowed Lennox as the tank fired at them again, they all felt relief when the engine roared to life and she sped out of there taking Bumblebee with her. They were even more relieved to see a flame painted Peterbilt semi pull out of a side alley and transform into Optimus Prime.

"Megatron!" Prime yelled, catching his brother's attention.

Megatron growled. "Prime!" Then he leapt up and transformed into a jet flying towards Optimus and crashing them both into a nearby building.

"Humans don't deserve to live," he sneered punching Optimus.

Prime wrestled with him for a moment managing to push him back a bit. "They deserve to choose for themselves."

"Then you will die- with them!" he growled. "Join them in extinction!" he hissed bringing both his arms together to transform into a single cannon. Optimus interrupted him by firing his own cannon but Megatron twisted to the side until his momentum brought him back round and he fired knocking his younger brother back into a building where he lay for a moment groaning on the ground from the impact.


"Keep moving, Sam! Don't stop!" cried Ironhide as he and Ratchet escorted the teen down the street.

Sam snorted to himself, here he was running for his bloody life and what does he get? Something that sounds a lot like Faelan's voice giving him a freaking running commentary in his head.

Yeah Sam come on, I mean it's only the fate of the world that depends on you not being a doofus and tripping over. Hey wonder if they'd let you on the football team if they could see you running now.

Seriously voice that sounds like Fae, shut the hell up, so not the time!

He glanced up hearing a jet go overhead and paled as Starscream transformed , he barely managed to roll behind a car for shelter as the Con blasted some cars in his direction. "Whoa!" He clutched the Allspark to his chest tightly as Ironhide and Ratchet barrelled forward attacking Starscream to protect him.

Seconds later Starscream flew off in the face of the onslaught from the Autobots and Sam peered out from behind the car gulping at the sight of the damage on the two bots who had protected him.

Ironhide reached a servo in his direction. "Sam, get to the building!"

Never mind that, tell him to get to a friggin' hospital or whatever! They're leaking everywhere!

No I have to keep running, Megatron can't get the Cube.

Megatron then flew down out of nowhere causing the humans still in the area to begin running and screaming again. "Give me that Cube, boy!"

Sam ducked into the oncoming cars hoping that it would make it harder for Megatron to hit him and also praying that he wasn't going to get hit by a car.

Yeah… that's not going to happen buddy, you are screwed. Just as he ran into an Escalade being driven by a preppy blonde snob. Damn his luck.

A wave of energy flowed from the Allspark into the car and passing through the street for a few meters causing sparks to fly as it activated the Escalade he'd hit, an xbox and a mountain dew drinks machine.

"Did that jerk just dent my car?" demanded the blond driving the car before shrieking as the steering wheel seemed to come to life and latch on to her face making her and her friend run out of the car screaming.

The Escalade transformed up into a bot that looked similar to Ironhide and scooped up the little xbox and the mountain dew machine which seemed to be having a lot of fun firing cans at passers-by. The Escalade looked around for a moment before chirping happily when it spotted Ironhide and Ratchet and trotted over to them quite happily while they gaped in disbelief at the first Sparklings they had seen in centuries.


Sam meanwhile had continued frantically running and had finally reached the white building that Lennox had pointed out. He dashed into the large hall and panted, "You're not gonna get me. You're not gonna get me!"

He will if you don't speed up.

Shut up. Not helping.

Bet you don't think my skates are stupid now! I told you skating is faster than running.

SHUT UP!

He groaned at the sight of stairs and started struggling up them, way too out of breath to be doing this easily.

Ha! Can't go up stairs in skates!

At least I'm not running for my life from a megalomaniac giant robot.

You would find this fun!

… True, why do you get all the fun?

Sam groaned, why was his best friend so insane, and why did his subconscious have to sound like her?

He managed to reach the other end of the building by the time Megatron entered and roared, "I smell you... boy!" Then to Sam's hysteria Megatron burst up through the floor trying to catch him. "Maggot!"

Sam looked up the many flights of stairs he still had to go and whimpered, this was so not his day.


So did you like it?

And yes Sam's subconscious sounds like Faelan, she's his best friend! She's going to have rubbed off on him at least a bit.

What did you guys think about the weapons? As i said earlier it will be fully explained in the next chapter, maybe the one after that.

Please review and let me know what you think!
