Thank you to all the people that said they would read the TF: Prime story if I was to do one and because of that I will. Once I finish this, I will start on that along with third movie. It will hopefully have more frequent updates while the movie will have twice every 2-3 weeks. It will be so that I have time to work on my other stories too.
ALSO Nora will be with Bee, she will be the same except for her age, she'll be 16 in it, so she would be going to school. That would be how she meets Jake, Raf and Miko.
I want to finish this before doing that because other wise the story will contain spoilers for the end of this story.
Anyway onto the chapter.
X.X.X.X.X
I was awoken by my body being slammed into sand, I gasped. My eyes snapping closed when I was blinded by the suns rays. I rolled over onto my front and lay my head on my arms as I tried to take deep breaths.
But it hurt like a bitch.
I gave a strange sounding inhale before I was able to find my normal breathing pattern. I was glad that I had donned my armour before Jetfire had a chance to teleport us where ever it was he wanted to go. Otherwise that would have hurt a shit load more.
I groaned, "Fuck."
I sat up and looked around, using my arm as a way to block the sun from my eye but I still squinted them. I finally stood to my full hight. I twitched when a sudden wave of energy passed through my body.
My empty head was no longer empty, 'Primus?'
"Yes my child? I am deeply sorry for what has happened, I wish I could have been there for you however the All-Spark seemed to have a rebellious train of thought when the images started within your mind and it forced me out."
The sound of Primus' voice was soothing, I sighed. I was about to say something to him when Primus cut me off.
"I am deeply sorry but I am not allowed to tell you anything. This is the time for humans to show what they can do and for one to prove themselves worthy."
What... the fudge cakes?
Suddenly Primus blocked himself making my jaw drop open slightly, "You jerk," I muttered anger, kicking at the sand. I looked up once more and glanced around.
"NORA!"
At my name my head snapped round to the voice that belonged to Sam. He was waving with one hand in the air, Bumblebee and the others with him. I raised one hand before jogging towards them.
X.X.X.X.X
"That really, really hurt. You're just lucky that I didn't get hurt. People could have gotten killed, okay? And if I would have gotten hurt, you would have heard from my at-" Jetfire cut off Simmons' rant by slamming his cane onto the ground.
"Oh, shut up. I told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt." Jetfire snapped.
I turned to him, my mouth ajar, "Egypt?!"
"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?" Sam shouted, standing from the rock he was sitting one. His hand now bandaged by Mikaela.
"Don't you get snippy with me, fleshling! You were duly informed!" Jetfire said sitting down.
"Dul-" before Sam could continue on the useless topic I cut him off.
"Look, that doesn't matter now. What's done, is done, okay?" I said giving Sam a firm glance before turning to Jetfire, "Can you tell us why we're in Egypt so we can all have a little bit of semblance of peace of mind?" Simmons nodded, pointing at me.
Jetfire gave a sigh like sound, standing before speaking, "This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, a millennium 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!" He shouted, I sighed myself and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?"
"Let's not get episodic, okay? Old-timer? Beginning. Middle. End. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it." Simmons ordered, slamming his fist into his other hand.
Jetfire, who had his back to us, turned his head towards us, "Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests Energon... by destroying suns." Jetfire stood as tall as he could before looking over his shoulder to the sun.
"Destroy suns?" Sam and myself repeated.
"You mean blow them up?" Leo asked in disbelief.
"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 forevermore was..."
"The Fallen." I stated, Jetfire looked down at me before nodded.
"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."
Jetfire showed us a hologram of the event, I stared in awe. I felt that I had heard of this before, some where at some point! I just couldn't place it, I also didn't miss the fact that Jetfire was looking at me as he told his story.
"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."
Mikaela, how finally spoke up, asked: "Okay, so how do we stop him?"
"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." Jetfire replied, his eyes flickering over to me in wonder but I just didn't know why! It was really getting to me.
"Much like your father when he was younger. In time you will understand." I heard a female voice within my head, I froze. It was angelic as it echo inside my mind. But as soon as it was there, it left. I brushed it off for now, looking over to Sam as he spoke.
"Optimus Prime?"
My heart twisted in grief at my fathers name. It seemed to show on my face as Mikaela placed a hand on my shoulder.
"So, you've met a Prime? Why, you must have met a great descendant. Is he alive, here on this planet?" Jetfire asked looking down at Sam in shock.
"He sacrificed himself to save us." Sam replied grimly, looking over to me. I tightly closed my eyes. I felt Bee come up behind me and wrap his arms around me comfortingly.
"So, he's dead. Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could stop the Fallen, except for a Primus Choice." Jetfire sighed.
My eyes snapped open in shock, I quickly ran after Jetfire who was walking away, "Hey! Jetfire!"
he stopped and looked down at me, "Yes, Choice?"
"You said I could stop him, right?" I asked, hope was being to form only to be crushed at him reply.
"Only a full cybertronian can."
I shock my head as an idea came to mind, "The Matrix of Leadership's energy that's gonna be used to reactivate the machine, right?... Could that energy somehow be used to reactivate my father and bring him back to life?"
"Father?" Jetfire asked in confusion.
"Optimus Prime, she's his daughter." Sam said, Jetfire's optics widened with shock before a hidden grin worked onto his face.
Jetfire hummed before standing to his full hight, "It was never designed for that purpose, but it's an energy like no other."
"So then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to me?" Sam asked.
Jetfire turned to us-Sam, sharply saying: "Follow your mind, your map, your symbols. What you carved in the sand, it's your clue. When dawn alights the Dagger's Tip, three kings will reveal the doorway! Find the doorway! Go now! Go!" Jetfire almost shouted before waving us off.
"That was my mission. It's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you."
without another word, we all climbed into Bumblebee's alt-mode, me in the drives seat. With everyone in, Bee took off with the twins following behind us.
