"We may have a problem." Those were not the words Briley had wanted to hear out of Sam's mouth nor were they the words anyone really wanted to hear at this point.
"What is it?" Mikaela asked warily.
"Well I found the Matrix but when I picked it up it turned to dust," Sam said, sounding as if he would have liked to cry.
"This was nothin' ya could'a done," Jazz said and Bee nodded but Briley was thinking.
"We've failed and Lennox is coming with false hope," Sam continued, staying on his knees.
"Maybe not," Briley said and everyone turned to look at her. "It does say in the Bible If you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain 'move from here to here' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you (Matthew 17:20). Besides we don't know what the Matrix itself can do."
"Are you suggestin' that the dust could bring 'em back?" Jazz asked and Briley nodded.
"It's worth a try," she said. "We just have to try." That was when a massive explosion racked the whole tomb. "We may have some problems getting to them though," she grumbled and Jazz nodded.
"Let's get out of here before it collapses," Leo added, looking rather terrified.
"Good idea," Mikaela agreed and they all headed out into the bright Egyptian sunlight. That was when they saw something that actually had everyone speechless. It was a massive Decepticon heading for them, lighting up a nearby ruin with fire and explosions.
"So we just have to get to Lennox and the others right?" Sam asked.
"Right," Briley agreed weakly.
"That may be easier said than done," Mikaela said, finally coming back to herself.
"No kiddin'," Jazz said. "Now let's get outta here 'afore that monster of a 'Con shows up." As if on cue there was another massive explosion and they all turned and ran.
Summer came to with over bright sunlight nearly blinding her even through her eyelids. She rolled over with a groan and then felt shifting sand underneath her. That was when reality came crash back to her. She sat up quickly, shielding her eyes, and turned to look at the massive alien robot watching her almost curiously. "You aren't Starscream," was all that she could think to say.
"Why would you say that?" the flier asked, tilting his head to one side like a puppy who didn't understand what it was being told.
"Because from what I've heard Starscream can't shut up and is an egotistical jerk," Summer said flatly as her eyes adjusted to the harsh sunlight. The thought came to her a moment later that maybe she shouldn't have said that until the robot laughed quietly.
"The Autobots see the same as us then," it said before becoming silently now. Summer considered asking his name, she thought it was a male at least, but then discarded that thought. She doubted he'd tell her.
"Where are we?" she asked instead.
The flier thought about answering her for a moment and Summer sighed, guessing she wasn't about to get an answer. That was when he spoke. "We are in the country you fleshlings call Egypt."
"Egypt?" Summer asked in an almost whisper, standing and survey what she saw which wasn't more than sand. How in the world had she ended up in Egypt.
"Yes. Waiting for Lord Megatron," the flier continued before silencing abruptly once more.
"Sweet Jesus," Summer muttered, sitting back down. "How do I get myself into these kinds of things?"
