Chapter Four: Exasperated on Both Ends
"You're joking right?" Allie asked Ravage.
"Not at all," the metallic cat mimic replied. "We're going to Egypt."
"In the middle of the school term?" Allie asked, exasperated. "Do you have any idea how much homework I'll have to make up not to mention unexcused absences?"
"Megatron doesn't care and he specifically requested you be there," Ravage replied, also sounding exasperated.
"Fine," Allie snapped. "Let me grab my backpack first though. Then she stormed into her room without another word, reflecting that she was deprived of slamming a door by automatic doors.
Not so far away Tallie was having her own problems. "This is utterly and completely stupid," she hissed at Sideswipe.
"Do you want to come or not?" the mech snapped back at her.
"When it doesn't work I'm blaming this idea on you," Tallie snapped back before climbing into the already full cargo bay of the plane. Full of the body of the deactivated mech known as Optimus Prime. What would he have thought about something like this? That thought alone was enough to make Tallie want to back out but it was too late; Sideswipe had already shut the cargo bay and she was left alone in the dark.
The plane ride to Egypt was mental torture to both girls. Tallie twisted her mind inside and out trying to figure out why things hadn't been different and what Jazz was going to do when he found out she wasn't at base. The silver mech had been banned from coming to Egypt with Ironhide, Ratchet, Sideswipe, and Arcee. Allie was bored out of her mind. She had only stopped asking if they were there yet when Thundercracker threatened to offline her. Then she had to point out that she was human and therefore kill and not offline was the correct term. That had started a round of arguing that had alleviated the boredom until Megatron had told them that if they didn't shut up he would throw them all out of the cargo plane.
As soon as they landed in Egypt Tallie knew they were in trouble. Just as she always knew when Allie was near she knew the other girl was extremely close. And were Alessia was trouble seemed to follow. She reached for her cell phone and dialed a number even as Optimus Prime's body was dropped to the sand and then the plane landed delicately next to it. "Sideswipe we have a problem," she said the instant he answered.
"What exactly?" the prankster asked. Tallie slipped out of the open cargo bay of the plane to land in the sand.
"A big problem," she said just as a massive explosion echoed across the sandy area and they saw the form of a massive Decepticon coming across the sand. "That kind of a problem."
"Oh," Sideswipe said rather blankly. Tallie nodded. Oh was right. After a sight like that there really wasn't much else to say.
