(time skip to where Quintessa was attacking)

As the Knights got closer to Sam, their swords drawn, the normally geeky teen, felt terrified and he couldn't seem to move.

Luckily, Optimus grabbed him. "Are you alright, Samuel?" Optimus asked, his voice deep and full of compassion, worry and love. "Yeah, I'm fine..thanks." Sam replied, going to Bumblebee.

Will was leading a military group, with Epps. "Flank left!" Will barked at a group of soldiers. "Yes, Sir!" The soldiers chorused, obeying their commander.

"So, what do we do now?" Epps asked, looking at Will. Will just grinned and had the Autobots and humans looking at him.

"We light their asses up. Starting with that freak show you call Quintessa." Will grinned. Ironhide grinned, liking that idea. "Can I do it, Will?" Ironhide asked. "Definitely." Will nodded.

Ironhide smirked, firing his cannons , hitting every target. "Fool! I'm trying to save our world!" Quintessa screamed. "By destroying another? Yeah, we're gonna have to pause that." Sideswipe smirked, standing beside his twin brother Sunstreaker, and their trainer, Ironhide and his closest female friend Chromia.

Ironhide commanded his little group of Autobots, who obeyed their orders without hesitation.

"NOW!" Ironhide yelled. As if on cue, multiple bombs went off, destroying everything. Suddenly, a laser appeared and headed straight for Sam. Will shoved him out of the way, taking the hit himself.

"SAM!"

"WILL!"

Ironhide and Bee screamed at the top of their lungs. Ironhide stated at Wills limp body, and suddenly just lost control. He just started stabbing, shooting, ripping out sparks, tearing off helms, and pretty much whatever else. They had hurt Will, HIS Will.

Nobody did that, and I mean nobody. Not unless you have a death wish.  Ironhide heard Will groan, snapping him back into reality. He immediately rushed to Will's side and saw Will cut open in multiple areas, losing blood quickly. He applied pressure, but Will stopped him.

"Damn it, Will! Let me help you!" Ironhide thundered, the sadness clearly heard. "It's...no use...'Hide. I'm dead...with and without help. I'm...a goner." Will rasped.

"No! I don't wanna hear that bullshit! You'll pull through, Lennox! You have before!" Ironhide yelled, tears threatening to spill. "That was before..." Will groaned. His blood was soaking Ironhide's hands, in bipedal and holoform.

Will was going in and out of consciousness, fighting to stay awake. "Will, please! I can't lose you again!" Ironhide begged. Will just winced in response. Just then, everyone heard Ironhide say something that shocked some of them.

"I LOVE YOU, DAMN IT! I FUCKING LOVE YOU!"

Tears were now heavily flowing down Ironhide's face, and onto Wills body.

"I love you too, Ironhide..."

That was all Will managed to mumble, before darkness consumed him.

"Will? Will... WILL!" Ironhide screamed, shaking the man. He stopped shaking the limp man, and cradled him closer. He felt as if his whole world came crashing down in him, and in a way, it did.

"Ironhide...." Ratchet started.

"Can you revive him?"

"I can try, but it's highly unlikely that he'll live."

"Please..I need him, Ratch'. I need him." Ironhide begged through his sobs.

To see Ironhide crying and begging for Will to live was quite sad. Sam, however, just looked on in shock before bawling hysterically in Bee's neck, as Will was a father figure to him.
