With Mrs Lilian, Kirin and Harold, they all drove through the destroyed roads, the signs of panic being clear in the air as Mrs Lilian surveyed the area and outside there was trees that had white fire coming on them as she drove them through the dusty area and dust came on the car windows. The smell of melted rubber and petrol made the kids cover their noses from the smell which Harold asked if they could open the window so they could get some fresh air. Mrs Lilian allowed them as Harold opened the window and instantly the smell of blood, smoke and the aroma of burning bark came through which was even worse and Harold instantly closed the door and said instead "Never mind." It smelled even worse out there. Kirin turned his head and noticed a destroyed graveyard nearby with some of the stones being broken and the flowers that were used to cherish those close were squashed. It looked like the dirt was dug up and some of the skeletons in there were presumed to be gone. Kirin thought about those bodies that got squandered. He didn't believe into faith too much but what he heard was that those who's death been squandered or some who had lost the chance to go to the afterlife, usually end up becoming disturbed or restless after they end up dying. It was an interesting thought for Kirin. Harold however was looking over the dead town nearby, where some blood had appeared on the building. Everything looked horrible and that's underestimating it at best. To Harold, he missed his sister and was wondering how his friends were dealing with it.
All of a sudden, Mrs Lilian stopped the car somewhere nearby and told them all to get outside as unbuckled her own seatbelt and got out first while Harold and Kirin came out afterwards as they all looked seeing that a large part of the hill was utterly littered with bodies and it made Kirin feel nauseous. He was not used to seeing this amount of bodies in one singular place. Harold was more shocked than disgusted while Mrs Lilian felt grossed out but kept it more internally. Kirin felt himself get on the floor on his knees as he felt like he was about to purge out his water, the smell of death was heavy and made him uneasy as he threw up his water on the grass. "Are you okay Kirin?" Mrs Lilian asked as Kirin nodded trying to not answer her question. "Kirin, I know your not okay, don't lie to me." She said as some of her strict personality came but softened seeing that he didn't look okay. "Kirin!" Harold yelled which made Kirin focus on the real world again. "Sorry, I just hate the sights of dead bodies." Kirin said and they both understood, not everyone wanted to see the sites of a grisly dead body on the floor. "Your that reactive?" Harold asked confused. Kirin started to explain since he had a sensitive nose, smells were much more stronger to him. It was almost like tasting the texture of the smells. Mrs Lilian looked before saying "I heard this was another good place where we find my daughter. She does come here sometimes when she asks me to leave the house." Kirin breathed trying to get away from the dead bodies slightly while Harold stayed the furthest away from the bodies, contemplating on how many died through this month. A lot, he guessed and he was right even though he didn't know why.
That was until they all heard some sort of police sirens nearby and police cars appeared around the hill. The detective Zera came out along with the police officer Samuel to investigate the bodies. They saw the family and Kirin as well as Zera asked "What are you all doing here?" And Mrs Lilian replied "We are trying to find my daughter." Samuel had remembered when Mrs Lilian had called the police to find Alexa but to no avail. So it looks like they all stuck trying to figure out an mystery that was buried deep in the ground. Zera soon replied after a moment of quietness "Come with me. You three are not in trouble plus we have someone you want to meet... What your name?" She asked that after she told them to come with her as she glanced at Kirin. Kirin soon responded after noticing Zera looking at him "Kirin Alin is my full name." Zera wrote it down on her clipboard and said "Do you someone called, Lili Horsflower?" And immediately Harold turned to Kirin and whispered, "Wait Lili? Didn't she come to our house like four years ago?" Kirin just looked up as Mrs Lilian was talking to Samuel and was answering his questions. Quickly, Harold and Kirin began to go inside of the police car that Zera came out of. Harold sat in the middle back seat, Kirin sat on the right while on the left, Lili was seen sitting there with a confused look on her face. She looked upwards and she looked gobsmacked to see them. Lili asked "Kirin, what's going on here?" Kirin replied back "We are trying to find Alexa, she is currently missing."
"Alexa? She sound familiar." Lili said and she was wondering why that name sounds recognisable to her. Harold mentioned to Lili that in fact, Alexa was his sister and asked why she was here of all places. "My Aunt isn't with me and is currently out. My mother had told her to take care of me, at least for a little while. But I got attacked afterwards which brought the police's attention." Lili explained. They understood now what she was doing here. Mrs Lilian soon came inside of the police car and immediately the three of them allowed space for her as Zera and Samuel went on the front seats. As soon they started to drive off, Kirin felt a little sick but it wasn't as bad as being outside in an area full of dead bodies which the smell of flora had clung to them as well. The roads twisted into curving lengths and swirling spirals as they turned. Zera asked with her voice sounding unusually raspy and tight as she said "We will be arriving there soon. I think, I want to ask. What did you see tonight?" Kirin replied first saying he saw a nuke flying in the sky, Lili said afterwards that she saw the first night when the black spot appeared in the sky, Harold mentioned he saw an silhouette that was trying to follow and Mrs Lilian said she hasn't saw anything interesting for the last few days or so. Samuel suddenly asked "Have you seen these... Giant robotic things so far?" Samuel gave an query to them and Harold would be remembering when he woke up with an injured Kirin and saw Alexa reacting with these robotics while Kirin stated "Yeah actually."
"Actually I know who they are." Zera said to Samuel before continuing to say "They are in two factions, the Autobots and Decepticons. The Autobots do not wish to hurt us and have proven to do so, so we should leave them alone. The problem is the Decepticons..." Zera cleared her throat and Mrs Lilian asked "Wait so what does my daughter have to do with them?" Zera answered analytically "She has been seen near a few Autobots, 8 hours ago. It looks like they are protecting her." Mrs Lilian tensed from that answer, her mind making the assumptions that there is something worse going on. Harold also put in his credit for them, "Yeah I actually noticed when we were injured, she was interacting with them." Mrs Lilian was cautious of these 'Autobots' but since Zera was a professional detective and Harold mentioned that Alexa interacted with them, for now, she decided to go with their words. Kirin gave an nod, confirming that it was in fact true. They started to drive through the roads as they went through the tunnel in the hill, they were all wide-eyed seeing how bad the state of the country got. There was literally floating chunks of the earth, some trees were fallen down, the sky was glitchy a bit and the unexpected sight of some animal corpses were on the tree. "Oh I'm going to be sick again." Kirin said turning his head as Lili raised her hand wanting to help Kirin as she grabbed him by the sleeve, as a attempt to show comfort. Mrs Lilian covered Harold's eyes as she didn't want him to be seeing more corpses like it's the most normal thing ever.
Zera turned to look at Samuel who had the look which said that they were so screwed. Soon they heard gunshots/blasts of a gun and immediately Zera yelled to the police cars behind her "Heads up! We got someone trying to attack us." Which she grabbed out her machine pistol and immediately shot at whatever was shooting at them. Kirin was cautious, Lili had fear in her face and Harold and especially Mrs Lilian were both furious for who would attack their friends and family. Mrs Lilian stared with a look that could kill and Harold looked quite enraged to the point he was clenching his fingers to the point they were bleeding. Mrs Lilian noticed that Harold was injuring himself and immediately said loudly, "Harold." She made him turn as his anger started to disappear a little and he asked aggressively "What now?" Mrs Lilian answered "Your doing it again." Harold look at his hands and saw bloody marks on his palms and he now felt pain. "Shi- I mean shoot." He mumbled as blood drops fell on the car floor. Harold looked up and saw that Lili and Kirin was looking concerned. "Hey, dude? You okay?" Kirin asked as Lili looked over at him and said "You've got us concerned." Harold looked away as Mrs Lilian grabbed out two plasters from her small bag and immediately put them on Harold palms. Meanwhile, Zera was trying to shoot at a large purple and black robotic who sneered down at her, Skywrap's optics looked with malice as he yelled to the other Decepticons, "Get ready! We are attacking!"
The seekers flew above the police and some of the combaticons were on the sides as they followed behind them as Zera managed to finally get one of the Decepticons pushed backwards as Napalm honestly did not expect that as he was thrown back slightly and Skywrap rolled his optics "Honestly how ridiculous are you!?" He shouted at Napalm who flinched a little and immediately Skywrap turned to the humans and said "Get them." Which missiles and blasts came, Zera immediately pushed down the brake harder as the police got out their guns as well and began to shoot down at the Decepticon attackers. Harold soon nudged his mother before taking out the knife from his back pocket which his mother's eyes looked surprised at. "Harold, where did you get that?" She was about to scold him until he hastily gave it to her. "Throw it at one of the Decepticon's eyes!" Despite Harold not knowing the proper term for Cybertronian eyes were actually optics, Mrs Lilian grabbed the knife before seeing Bonecrusher charge at them before she gave a precise throw. Immediately the Decepitcon felt something coming in his faceplate as he felt something inside of his optic and seemed to go down from his eyelid to his half of his faceplate. Immediately he gave an yelp of pain as he took out the knife and threw it as he struggled to get a precise aim and it missed Zera's face as she reloaded the gun again. Skywrap glared at Bonecrusher and rolled his optics. "Ugh, does it hurt that much for you?" Bonecrusher just cursed back at the seeker which made Hook chuckle.
For the humans, things did not get better as the smell of something like lava and a mix of magma came and light appeared out of the cracks as Sameul was trying to get the car to a safer place finally. The hair whipped her Zera hair as Samuel drove quickly knowing that going across the speed limit (not to an unrecognisable amount) was needed. Kirin pulled Harold and Lili close to him while Mrs Lilian gave a glance at Kirin which said "Don't allow them to get hurt." Kirin nodded at her glance as Harold was surprised by the contact while poor Lili was distraught by everything that happened. Soon the Decepticons decided this was getting tiring and knew they needed to get Harold soon. Since he had answers and was related to the human ally. For now Gunwing who was observing them told them to drop it and leave as they all retreated from the area. Harold felt dizzy and fell unconscious as their voices faded into the distance. When he woke up, he felt exhausted but noticed that he was still in the car and came outside where everyone was. Zera had a spill of blood going down her face, Kirin had a scratch on his face, Lili had no visible injuries and Samuel's palms looked very rough. Soon there was loud noises and robotic footsteps were heard as they all looked upwards. An red robot with short antennas, short height and blue optics came and a larger robot with blue and red paints came across to them. They looked at the humans and Ultra Magnus who was the blue and red Cybertronian said "We are the Autobots. And are some of you related or friends with our human ally Alexa?" Most of them nodded expect for Zera and Samuel. "Yes and what of that?" Harold replied with caution as Cliffjumper retorted "And we need your help." Which made all of them look at each other with confusion.
