We were making our way to the Prime's tomb on foot by now. This was about the time Lennox shoved Galloway out of the plane.
"It's gotta be around here somewhere." I look up, grinning. I feel a warm breeze hit my exposed back, and none of the others have mentioned it. I walk inside, ignoring the others. Which wall was it again?" I ask, looking around. I knock against the mural and I look at Skids and Mudflaps start fighting. I back away from the mural and grin. Skids throws Mudflap against the mural and it breaks a little. We all gather around it and I pull a large chunk of the wall off. The Primes were revealed and I look at Bee.
"Bee shoot it!" We back away and he does, making an entry for us. I grab my knife pouch, emptying it and shoving a couple knives into the little pockets in my sleeves. I go in without a flashlight, my hair lighting up enough for everyone to see.
"Nova, why is your hair glowing?" I hear Sam ask.
"I think you know Sam. I'm sure you recognize where the metal on my back comes from, right? I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner." I walk ahead, finding the Matrix. I kneel down in front of it. Everyone crowds around me, with Sam behind me. I could feel him trace the metal on my back and I hear him gasp in recognition. I pick up the Matrix, quickly setting it in my knife bag as it starts to disintegrate.
"Thousands of years, turned to dust." We hear airplanes outside and they leave me, besides Sam.
"Is the metal on your back from the Allspark?" He asks. I nod, slumping my shoulders.
"I'm sorry I never told you, okay? I should have but before now you would've have believed me. I'm really sorry." I put my face into my hands, ignoring the sting of pressure being put on my burned hand.
"You're the soul?" He asks. I look at him, a tear slipping down my dusty cheek.
"I am. I don't know if Nova even existed but Primus sent me here to take your place and stop the war. I've been here since the morning you had the presentation about Archibald Witwicky." He doesn't say anything so I continue.
"Look, before you say anything, I never knew I belonged here until Primus tore me from my world and brought me here. My soul somehow got mixed up and was born in a world it didn't belong in. I only had my Dad there, who I had only found out that was the god of my world, because my mother didn't want me. I would have been perfectly fine not being here. I had my Dad and that's all I needed, even if I felt like I didn't belong. I had no choice in this Sam. I never wanted to come here and pretend to be your sister. My fate was chosen before I was even thought of! When Primus sent me here, I thought I was going to be alone. Alone and have to find you and make sure you didn't do anything stupid. I thought I would stay on the sidelines, gently nudging you in the right direction to make things right. When I woke up to you shaking me and calling me your sister, I was shocked. I never imagined that I would be sent here as your sister. When I realized that everything was as I thought, I was happy. I've never had an older brother. I only had an older sister that never cared for me. When you were kind to me and actually treated me like I was your sister, I got selfish. I'd never had a caring brother, a caring mother and Ron… yes, I did have a father but Ron was something I hadn't experienced for long. I hadn't been with my Father long when Primus took me. I never wanted to be selfish but I wanted to feel like what it was like to have a family that actually cared for me. You gave that to me Sam, you gave me the feeling of actual belonging and I didn't want to lose that. Sam, I never thought I would take your place and become the main character of my favorite movie series. Where I came from, cybertronians didn't exist and you were just a movie character to watch over and over when I felt like it. Being here, it's changed me. I care about you Sam, I really do. I care about you, Mikaela, Ron, Judy, even the Autobots! Everything that I have went through, you would have if I wasn't here. You wouldn't still be in a relationship with Mikaela right now if it wasn't for me. I'm sorry Sam, I'm sorry for being selfish and I'm sorry for never telling you that I'm not your sister!" I choke out, crying. He didn't say anything and I dare to take a glance at him. His face was hard, and stone cold. Just like my mothers.
"I'll always love you Sam. Even if you don't care about me anymore, I'll always think of you as my brother." I hug myself, choking back a sob. I hear Sam leave, and I let out a cry when I realize that Sam hated me. I could have avoided everything, Bee being taken, Optimus dying, and even hurting Sam if I had said something sooner. It was all my fault. I stand up, gripping the knife case tightly, walking out and and heading towards the drop off.
"Nova!" I hear Simmons yell and I head towards him, running past Sam.
"You think you can bring him back to life with that pixie dust?" Simmons asks as I walk past.
"Absolutely. Let's go." I get into Skids, ignoring Mikaela's worried glance. I see the flare and wipe my eyes.
"Head towards the flare Skids. That's where we need to go." Missiles suddenly land near us, and I let out a scream. None of them hit us, thankfully. I could hear Leo's screaming from here. Starscream transforms and starts shooting at us, and we hide in the dust. Skids lets me out and look at Bumblebee.
"We've got to split up. Bumblebee, you're the decoy. You lead the Decepticons away, all right. I'm gonna get Optimus." I order.
"I'll help draw their fire with Huey and Dewey there. You get to those soldiers." I nod at Simmons, not looking at Sam. "I hope that dust works kid."
"Thanks. Hopefully, I'll live to thank you after this." I take off running, leaving Sam and Mikaela behind. I knew what I had to do, and I could just hope Sam would be able to forgive me. I kept running, scrambling up dunes until I could see the village Optimus was in. I could hear Sam and Mikaela behind me, so I try to make sure that they keep away. I manage to make it to the edge of the village, running through the brick building and running to where Optimus would be. I make it to the glass buildings when Sam and Mikaela reach me.
"Nova!" I flinch, opening a door and entering the building. Sam and Mikaela follow me, and I tell them to get down.
"Once it's clear, we run for Optimus as fast as we can, okay?" I don't flinch when I hear Starscream land, and I hear them crouch down. I glance at them and I could see Mikaela crying and Sam was teary eyed. What I was extremely stupid, but it would save them from being found with me.
