Chapter Eleven: The Fallen Shall Rise Again
Meanwhile above the planet's atmosphere while alien ships remain, Ralph follows Galvatron to where he's leading them.
Galvatron: I'm sure you are aware of the Egyptian incident.
Ralph: I don't really recall.
Galvatron leads him to the throne and opens the door for him.
Galvatron: After you.
Ralph prepares the march in and Galvatron magnetizes his guns.
Galvatron: You won't need them.
Ralph forgets about the weapons and continues walking.
Galvatron: Lieutenant Wicks. May I present to you. The Fallen.
Ralph sees the giant robot sitting at his throne. The Fallen stands up and kneels down to his level.
Fallen: I've been looking forward for a human to work with us.
Ralph: It's my duty, sir.
Fallen: You're not afraid of me. You seem stronger than you look.
Ralph: You something, pal. You do look familiar. You know, when you made that announcement on our televisions on Earth. I felt how pissed off you were about this. You know, I could've found the kid and handed him over to you. That way you could just get your job done. When I saw you turn on that machine on Egypt, I thought to myself "Maybe I could just make him deal so he doesn't blow up the sun."
Fallen: My work is not yet complete. My revenge is getting stronger now that Galvatron has revived me. I could make this planet dark forever.
Ralph: So you got a machine down there. I'll let you destroy that. But we don't need you destroying Earth's sun. If you just destroy the sun above this planet and you leave ours alone, maybe can understand each other.
Fallen: (laugh) I like this human. Galvatron. Leave us. But leave his weapons in here.
Galvatron: But master...
Fallen: It's alright.
Galvatron leaves Ralph's weapons in the room. They continue their conversation.
Ralph: Now, what's our plan.
Meanwhile, Bumblebee takes Banjo and his friends on the road. Banjo sees Tooty sleep on the passenger side. Kazooie joins him watching her sleep.
Kazooie: I guess I was wrong about you. You are a good brother.
Banjo: (smiles) She's been dating bears my age.
Kazooie faces him as she hears that.
Banjo: That's what I was yelling at her about back there. I didn't mean it, though.
Kazooie: You were just trying to protect her.
Banjo nods.
Kazooie: You know, maybe it's time you understand her more.
Banjo faces her.
Banjo: But I do.
Kazooie: No, I mean a lot more. She just recently turned 10. Maybe, it's time you let her make her own decision.
Banjo: Kazooie.
Kazooie: I'm serious. She's growing up. She's not your baby sister anymore.
Banjo: But she's still my sister.
Kazooie: I said she's not a baby. You don't need to baby her more often.
Banjo isn't sure.
Kazooie: I know it's a tough thing to think of. You should really think about it.
Banjo: I don't know, Kaz. Our parents wouldn't want me thinking about this.
Kazooie: They would want you to understand growing up.
Banjo: I do understand.
Kazooie: I'm sorry. So what's the bear's name?
Banjo: His name is Kova.
Kazooie: And he is how old?
Banjo: 22. Like me. That's why I don't trust him, Kazooie. I never met him, but I still don't trust him because of his age. Though, I was hard on her.
Kazooie puts her wing on his shoulder.
Kazooie: There's no need to be hard on yourself.
Kazooie takes her wing off his should and prepares to go to sleep. Banjo watches Bumblebee concentrate on the road for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, back on the Fallen's ship,...
Fallen: Are you ready?
Ralph: I'm ready, Fallen.
Fallen takes out an ancient stone and hands it to Ralph.
Ralph: And this is?
Fallen: The Matrix the Leadership. I had some of my crew program it to have a tracking device to the Star Harvester's location. Then contact me with your communicator.
Ralph: Will I need my men?
Fallen: You may need your men.
Ralph: Don't worry, sir. I won't let you down.
Ralph starts walking towards the door.
