After Determining that one of the old bots we need to talk to is in D.C. Simmons gets what he needs and we are off. We all ride in Bumblebee because no one wants to ride with the twins.
It takes a couple of hours but we finally manage to get there, and more specifically the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. If we weren't on serious business I would be making a field day over this.
We get out of Bee as Simmons pulls out a pair of binoculars. I look at him in confusion and say,"Just so you know, using binoculars doesn't make you look cooler."
He glares at me and says,"Zip it mouth." He then focuses back on the building. "There it is. Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The land of dreams...all I ever wanted to be was an astronaut."
"E.T. Phone home." I joke at him.
"You just ruined a classic." Simmons replies. He then walks to the other side of Bee and soon there's the sound of ripping fabric. "Hold those." He tells Sam.
"What is that?" Sam asks.
"What? I wear me when I'm in a funk. So does Jombie, Jeeter. It's a baseball thing." Simmons replies while putting on a coverall.
"What's he doing?" I ask.
"Trust me you don't wanna know." Sam replies.
Mikaela and I look to each other in confusion and just shrug figuring with Simmons it must be something stupid.
"Alright. Watches synchronized, sharp mind, empty bladder. You get caught demand an attorney and don't ever say my name." Simmons then tosses a bottle of pills to Sam and tells us,"Slip one of those under your tongue. It's a high concentrated polymer like they put in Oreo cookies. Tricks the polygraph every time."
We all take a pill as Simmons takes out a taser and says,"Now let's get this show on the road."
"Woah woah no listen! I can't do this. I'm not some bounty hunter alright. I'm not doing this. Guards got guns! I don't wanna die!" Leo rants frantically.
"Kid kid kid kid kid. You compromise this mission you are dead to me. Now look into my eyes, and tighten up." Simmons says while pushing him against Skids.
"Alright enough. Let's get this started. Leo, just do as your told and you'll be fine." I tell him.
"Fine, but if I die I'm haunting you guys for eternity." Leo replies.
A plan is laid out and Sam, Mikaela, and I sneak into the hanger section for the planes to hide. We all get into a plane and wait for the guards to leave. Once Leo has them gone we get out of our hiding places.
Simmons runs over and says,"Five guards. Get your stuff and get out of here."
"We gotta get the tracker alright." Sam states.
I place the box down holding the little con in front of Mikaela and open the lid. He pops up and she orders,"Be good."
"I'm claustrophobic." He replies frantically.
Sam takes out a sliver of the cube and as Simmons takes out the energon detector. He points it at different planes to see which one has a reading.
The little con transforms into his toy car mode and heads off in a certain direction. Mikaela notices and tells us,"Follow him. He knows where he's going."
We run after him and when he circles a large black jet Mikaela says,"He knows Something."
We stop in front of the jet as Simmons asks,"You got what I got?"
The little con transforms and says,"Oh there he is. This guys a legend, like chairman of the board." He then turns to Sam and adds,"Yo freshman point the shard and watch the magic happen."
Sam holds the shard up to the jet and it flies out of his hands and the jet does the glowing electric thing like everything does when the AllSpark was messed with.
Suddenly Mikaela yells out," It's a Decepticon!"
"Decepticon? Behind the benda!" Simmons yells!
We rush away from the transforming Decepticon and notice something...odd. If I what the Cybertronians looked like when they got really old, then this would be it. His transformation sequence isn't as fluid and graceful as I've seen the Autobots do theirs. It's slow, forced, and spaced out, and of course clunky.
When he's finally transformed I see what looked like an elderly face with metal pieces hanging off his face to show what looks like a beard and mustache. He looks around the room and asks,"What sort of hideous mausoleum is this?! Answer me natives or suffer my infinite wrath!"
We come out of our hiding place and cautiously walk towards the elderly con.
"You little spinal cord based organisms. Behold the eternal glory of Jetfire! Prepare for systems override!" Jetfire states.
"I'm tellin ya this guy did not age well." Little con says.
"I don't think he's gonna hurt us." Mikaela mutters.
"I think your right. Looks like he might hurt himself more than us." I add.
Jetfire stands in front of the hanger doors and says,"I command these doors to open. Fire! I said fire!" As he says that a missile flies behind him instead of at the door. Bullocks. Blast these worthless parts!" He rants as he slams the doors open and walks outside.
We rush after him while trying to get him to stop.
"Itchy, etchy, rusty my aft!" Jetfire says as he pulls up a part of his aft...which I let out a laugh at.
"The museum is gonna be very angry! Very angry!" Simmons says as we run.
I see Bee and the twins driving towards us as we finally make it to Jetfire and get his attention.
"What do you want?" Jetfire asks.
"We just wanna talk?" Sam says.
"I have no time to talk. I'm on a mission. I'm a mercenary doom bringer! What planet am I on?" He asks.
"Earth." I answer.
Jetfire squats down to our level as he says,"Earth? Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it dirt. Planet dirt. Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on? Whose winning?"
"The Decepticons." Sam answers.
Jetfire growls at that and says,"Well I changed sides to the Autobots."
"What do you mean changed sides?" Sam asks.
"It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision." Jetfire replies. "So much negativity. Who wants to live a life filled with hate?"
"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freakin Decepticons?!" Little con asks.
"If the Decepticons had their way they'd destroy the whole universe." Jetfire states.
Little con then goes up to Mikaela's leg and says,"I'm changing sides too warrior goddess. Whose your little Autobot?"
"Aww you cute." She says to him.
He then wraps himself around her leg and proceeds to...oh gross!
"Names Wheelie. Say my name, say my name." Wheelie says as he...uh still gross.
We all look uncomfortable watching.
"What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asks her.
"At least he's faithful Sam." She retorts.
"Yea, well he's faithful and he's nude and he's perverted." Sam replies. He then kicks Wheelie off saying,"Could you stop!"
"Hey! What are you doin'." Wheelie complains as he falls to the ground.
Sam then turns back to Jetfire and asks,"What were you saying?"
"I told you my name is Jetfire! Now stop judging me!" Jetfire replies. "I have issues of my own. It started with my mother. My ancestors have been here for centuries. My father, why he was a wheel. The first wheel and do you knew what he transformed into? Nothing! But he did so with honor! Dignity!" Suddenly he's parachute comes out of his aft making him fall to the ground.
We run over to him as he rants,"My boosters are fried!"
"Listen, I think we can help each other. You know things I don't know. I know things you don't know. I do." Sam says.
"I don't think he knows anything...honestly I don't." Leo argues.
Sam then takes out a pocket knife and begins carving the symbols into the ground. Once he does some he hands the knife and says,"Alright. Draw your half."
I squat and carve the symbols into the ground as well. Then without knowing the difference I carve the other set of symbols into the ground beside it.
"Happens all day. It comes in waves. It's these symbols, but their in our mind. Both me and Averie. Megatron wants what's in our mind. Him and someone called the Fallen." Sam explains.
"The fallen?! I know him. He left me here to rust! The original Decepticon. He was terrible to work for. It was always apocalypse, chaos; these inscriptions were a part of my mission. The fallen searched." Jetfire states.
"What mission?" I ask.
He stops before he answers as he looks at the symbols that I drew off to the side...the ones Megatron said was the language of the AllSpark. "Which one of you are seeing these symbols?" He asks while pointing to them.
"I am." I say cautiously.
He looks at me and asks,"Youngling, do you have any idea what this is?"
"Megatron said it was the language of the AllSpark, but that can't be right can it?" I ask.
"Of course it is! the proof is here! The language of the AllSpark was never written down for obvious reasons. If someone unworthy ever got ahold of it it would spell disaster for everyone." Jetfire states.
"Wait wait wait. Hold on. Megatron said very few knew the language so how is it that anyone learned it?" I ask.
"When the AllSpark sensed someone of pure spark it would choose them to hold its language and therefore all it's power. Power that included giving life. Only the ones who were chosen for this gift know how it was learned." Jetfire explained.
"That explains why Megatron had a crazed look in his eye and laughed when he found out that was in my head." I state.
"Fear not youngling. He cannot read the language, and no physical force can make you translate it for him if you do not wish it." He reassures.
I look confused and ask,"What do you mean? I'm sure if he wanted to he could torture the information out of me."
He gives a light chuckle and asks,"Do you not understand what knowing the language of the AllSpark entails?"
I shake my head no.
"The AllSpark has chosen you to hold its language, which means that if you harness the language you will have the power of the AllSpark. The proper title for those with this gift were called Guardians. They protected the AllSpark and in turn the AllSpark protected them." Jetfire explains.
"Wait, Megatron said that what she knows could create another AllSpark since the original was destroyed...is that possible?" Sam asked.
"I have never heard of such a feat happening since the AllSpark has always been, but that's not to say that it couldn't . After all, it's power is unlimited and should you embrace this gift you can do great things." Jetfire answers.
"What about the Fallen? Can he read the AllSpark language?" I ask worriedly.
Jetfire sighs and says,"Unfortunately he can. He was once a Guardian before he turned. However, when the AllSpark sensed evil in him his mind was purged of the knowledge and so cannot speak it without seeing it."
"Purged? By the AllSpark? So the cube was actually alive?" I ask.
Jetfire chuckles and says,"You have much to learn little Guardian. Yes, it is alive. It's physical form may be gone but it can never be destroyed. It is after all a relic of Primus himself."
"Whose Primus?" I ask.
Jetfire sighs and rubs his face and mutters,"Why the AllSpark would choose a species with no knowledge of our race to protect it is beyond me."
"Well excuse me pop. I didn't exactly ask for this!" I retort sharply.
"Don't you get snippy with me youngling!" He reprimands.
I hold up my hands in mock surrender.
"Wow. So your basically their only chance for survival." Mikaela states.
"No pressure right?" Leo adds.
"Don't worry Guardian. I'll help you. I'll be your loving helping Autobot." Wheelie says as he goes to hug, not hug, my leg.
I quickly move to the side to avoid contact and say,"No need for that." I sigh and continue,"This is a lot to take in."
"Don't worry. The Autobots will help you." Mikaela reassures.
I smile in thanks. "Thanks Mikaela."
Suddenly Jetfires says,"Wait! I just remembered the rest of my mission! Yes, I remember now! The Daggers Tip and the Key!"
"Wait wait slow down. The daggers tip the key? What are you talking about?" Sam asks.
"No time to explain.!" Jetfire says as his hands glow blue and we are all forced into a tight circle, along with Bee and the twins. "Hold on everybody! Stay still or you'll die!"
We all cling to each other as the energy cackles like electricity and we soon feel like we're being pulled and then everything around us disappears.
~ SHORT TIME SKIP~
the pulling sensation lasts for a few seconds and it's dark during that time. After a few seconds I am suddenly blinded by a bright light and I find my self flying through the air and over a lot of sand. I soon land not so gently on the ground. Thankfully I landed on my metal leg so it didn't hurt like it could have.
I stand up and notice I'm in a desert of some sorts with huge rocks here and there. I look around for the others and notice Simmons a little ways away from me. I run over to him and ask,"You okay?"
He stands up and brushes off his cloths and says,"I think so. How about you kid?"
"I'm fine. So where do you think we are?" I ask.
"The only thing I can clarify is that we are in a desert." He replies.
"Wow that narrows it down." I say sarcastically.
"Enough with the sarcasm miss mouth. At least I can mark out where we're not." He says. "But hopefully grandpa bot knows where we are."
Suddenly I hear Mikaela yell,"Sam! Averie!"
"Where are we?! Averie! Simmons!" Sam yells.
"Hey!" Simmons and I yell back.
We run towards the others and once close enough Sam asks,"You guys okay?"
"Hey, I think we're in Vegas!" Leo exclaims.
We all go over to Jetfire and Simmons is quick to tell him off. "That really really hurt. Your just lucky that I didn't get hurt. People could have been killed okay. If I would have gotten hurt you would ha-."
"Oh shut up! I told ya I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt." Jetfire interrupts.
Sam gets up from where Mikaela was nursing his hurt hand and angrily asks,"What what did you tell us?! You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything! Why are we in Egypt?!"
"Don't you get snippy with me fleshing!" Jetfire retorts. "You were duly informed." He then sits down on the rock.
"Ok can we stop for a second. Can we focus? Can you tell us why we're on Egypt so can all have a bit of semblance? A peace of mind?" Sam asks.
"This planet was visited by our race once before by our earliest ancestors a millennia ago. They were on a exploratory mission to harvest energon, the the life blood of our race. Without it we'll all perish, oxidize, and rust. Like my retched self! Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?!" Jetfire explains and getting upset at the end.
"Let's not get episodic okay old timer. Beginning, middle, end. Facts, details, condense, plot, and tell it." Simmons states.
"Somewhere buried in this desert our ancestors build a great machine. It harvest energon by destroying suns." Jetfire says.
"Destroy suns?" Sam asks.
"You mean blow them up?" Leo adds.
"Yes. It said in the beginning there were seven primes. Our original leaders. They set out into the universe seeing 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 forever meow was the Fallen." Jetfire states.
Jetfire then holds put his servo and a holographic projection of the Fallen appears. "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 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...somewhere buried in this desert that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is and if he finds the tomb of the Primes your world will be no more." Jetfire continues.
"Okay. So how do we stop him?" Mikaela asks.
"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." Jetfire replies.
That immediately makes me feel like all the wind is being punched out of me. With Optimus then there's no hope.
"Optimus Prime?" Sam asks.
"So you've met a Prime? You must of met a great descendant. He is alive? Here? On this planet?" Jetfire asks excitedly.
"He sacrificed himself to save me and Averie." Sam says sadly.
"So he's dead? Without a Prime it's impossible. No one else can stop the Fallen." Jetfire says.
"So the same energy that's gonna be used to activate the machine; could that energy somehow be used to reactivate Optimus and bring him back to life?" Sam asks.
"It was never designed for that purpose. That has always been the Allsparks true purpose." Jetfire says. He turns to me and says,"If you are able to harness it's language then you can bring him back."
I look at him pitifully and say,"I don't know how. Can you teach me how?"
"I'm afraid I cannot. That is something you must learn for yourself." He replies.
"Great. There goes that." I say sadly.
"Since she can't right now, can the Matrix do that instead?" Sam ask.
"It's possible for it is an energy like no other, except for the AllSpark of course." Jetfire adds.
"So how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to us?" Sam asks.
"Follow your mind your map. Your symbols; what you carved in the sand it's your clue. Dawn aligns the Daggers Tip. The 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." Jetfire says.
We turn and walk towards Bee and the twins in their alt mode, but I am stopped by Jetfire placing his cane in front of me to get my attention. "Do not worry little Guardian. When the time is right the knowledge will come to you."
I smile gratefully at him and say,"Thank you." I then turn back towards the others and get into Bee and we make our way to find the Matrix and hopefully to bring Optimus back.
There y'all go! Another like I promised! Hopefully everyone likes what I'm doing with her being the Guardian of the AllSpark. I'm hoping to make it interesting anyway.
