Hey. I'm now updating four stories a day, three here and one other. So, Yeah. Hope you like it.


"Oh shut up." Jetfire said, apparently Simons had been complaining. "I told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt." That's it. He is either missing a few screws or is normally like this.

"When did you... When did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything. Why are we in Egypt?" I rubbed my wrist, which I had landed on, it was now bandaged with some cloth Bee had, is he always prepared?

"Don't you get snippy with me, fleshling! You were duly informed!" I shook my head, how were we going to put up with this guy? He better have information for us or I'm going to let Skids and Mudflap fight someone other than each other. Better not, no matter how old this mech looked, and how crazy, he still looked like a good fighter.

"Ok, why are we here? You brought us here, you must know something." I said, trying to calm down.

"This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, millennia ago. They were on an exploratory mission to harvest Energon, the lifeblood of our race. Without it, we'll all perish, oxidize and rust... like my wretched self! Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?" As if to prove his point, a few parts came off and he grimaced.

"Let's not get episodic, okay, old-timer? Beginning, middle, end. Facts, details. Condense: Plot. Tell it!" I had to agree with Simmons on this one. *shiver*

"Somewhere buried in this desert," Jetfire finally got down and to the point. "Our ancestors build a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns." Ok, that did not sound good.

"Destroy suns?" I asked, starting to realize what we were doing was a whole lot more than keeping some power hungry Decepticon from getting something like last time. The earth was in immediate danger.

"You mean blow them up?" Leo asked, wow, he really is a genius.

"Yes! You see, in the beginning, there were seven Primes, our original leaders. And they set out into the universe, seeking distant suns to harvest. The Primes set out with one rule: never destroy a planet with life. Until one of them tried to defy this rule. And his name was, forevermore, the Fallen..." He held out his hand, palm down, and projected an image of some mech. Obviously The Fallen. "He despised the human race, and he wanted to kill you all by turning on that machine. The only way to activate it is with a legendary key called the Matrix of Leadership. A great battle took place over the possession of the Matrix. The Fallen was stronger than his brothers, so they had no choice but to steal and hide it from him. In the ultimate sacrifice, they gave their lives to seal the Matrix away in a tomb made of their very own bodies. A tomb we cannot find." He turned off the hologram, which was much like the one Optimus used to show Mikayla and I Cybertron oh-so many years ago in that alley.

"Somewhere, buried in this desert, that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is, and if he finds the Tomb of the Primes, you world will be no more." Oh, joy. I love saving the world. This time it was even more serious and we don't even have Optimus.

"Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikayla asked, getting strait to the point now that Jetfire was talking.
"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." He looked up as if we had no hope. He doesn't know about Optimus, though he is dead.

"Optimus Prime?" I asked, did he really have the power to finish off this millennia old foe? He turned to me excitedly.

"So you've met a Prime? Why, you must have met a great descendant. Is he alive? Here, on this planet?" I felt bad I had to crush his spark.

"He sacrificed himself to save me."

"So he's dead. Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could have stopped the Fallen." We're screwed. The world will end because I was too selfish to help Prime. I didn't want to reveal myself, and that had cost Optimus his life.

"So, the same energy that's gonna be used to reactivate the machine... could that energy somehow be used to reactive Optimus and bring him back to life?" I asked, maybe. Just maybe. This was a powerful source of energy, it could be enough to reignite his spark.

"It was never designed for that purpose, but it's an energy like no other." I took that as a yes. We had hope. We could bring Optimus back and he could save us all.

"So, then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to me?" That was the problem. The Decepticons now had Megatron, their leader. We didn't have Optimus, so I would have to take charge, and I don't have an idea what I'm doing.

"Follow your mind, your map, your symbols! What you carved in the sand, it's your clue: 'When dawn lights the Dagger's Tip, Three Kings will reveal the doorway!' Find the doorway! Go now! GO! That was my mission! It's YOUR mission now! Go before the Decepticons find me and find you!" Well, one minute he's all crazy and ranting, the next he's all omniscient. Now he's urging us to run for our lives, and for Optimus's.

Minutes later we were driving down the road and trying to figure out the riddle. I suddenly realized we could have used the shard to revive Optimus, but if we had, we wouldn't be where we were now.

"My contacts say ancient Samarians used to call the Gulf of Aquaba 'the Daggers Tip'." Simmons said, looking at his phone. "Because it divides Egypt and Jordan like a daggers tip."

"Ok, so we got to go there. 'When Dawn alights the Daggers Tip-'"

"Three kings will reveal the door way." I said irritated. "We know. Let's just get there and see if we can find three Burger Kings." Mikayla tried to hide her laughs.

"Ha, Ha. Whatever." Apparently Leo doesn't like being show up.

Before we knew it, Bee was pulling up next to the Pyramids. We got out and they transformed.

"The pyramids were built by aliens. Yeah." Simmons said this as though he wasn't saying three huge artifacts widely believed that ancient Egyptians built them and are large artifacts of earth's past weren't even built by humans.

The Autobots stayed outside as we sent inside for sleep. It was almost night and the fact the world was about to be destroyed could be put on hold for a few hours, right?

I now lay, not having gotten any sleep, as the sun starts to rise. I still can't sleep. Mikayla was awake too.

"Sam," I hummed in acknowledgement. "So I take it there are no Burger Kings?"

I laughed. "No. You know being my girlfriend's hazardous to your health."

"Well, girls like it dangerous." I smiled and hugged her; she was lying with me on a couch.

"Sam." she sounded annoyed and turned to me. "We're here, running for our lives, I just traveled half way around the world for you and we're here under the stars. Under the three most beautiful pyramids and you still can't tell me that you love me." And just like that it clicked. I stood up and looked outside.

"Three kings." I muttered.

"Why is it boy's always change the subject?" She was really annoyed now.

"Pyramids." I started to run out calling for everyone to wake up. "Look. Those three stars?" I pointed to the horizon when we were all outside. Even the Autobots were listening. "The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids to mirror those stars. Orion's belt, but they're also called the three kings." They seemed to be following me enough. "'When dawn alights the Daggers Tip', here, 'three dings will reveal the door way'. See how the bottom one touches the horizon? It's like an arrow staring us in the face."

"I don't know how you figured that out, but it's good." Simmons patted me on the back.

"Alright, but how're we getting the big one here?" Leo asked. I smiled.

"I have connections."

Before I knew it, we were on the road again. This time we had great hope we could bring Optimus back before the sun blew up. Whoever this 'Fallen' guy was, he better get ready, because we aren't going to roll over and let our planet get destroyed.

Bring, it, on.


Sorry for the cheesy line, but I would find Sam to be getting ahead of himself now. The more he thinks it will work, the harder he will fall. R&R
