Chapter 45: History of the Fallen
"I tell 'ya… This guy didn't age well."
Sam stared up at the giant blackbird aircraft. He never knew that this blackbird is a Decepticon. He should've known better to trust a little annoying Decepticon toy. Luckily, the old Decepticon, Jetfire, seems to be losing his sight due to the aging part. The brunette along with his friends and Simmons, followed the confused Decepticon to the junkyard, located behind the museum. They kept on chasing the old blackbird, but the blackbird never did stop. He only complains about his busted parts.
"Hey! Hey! Stop! Okay! Stop! Can we just talk to you for a sec?!" Sam waved his arms above his head, trying to gain attention from Jetfire.
Jetfire growled as he slams his cane on the ground, near Sam. "I'm on a blasted mission, you annoying fleshings!" He exclaimed loudly.
"I know, I know, but this won't be long, I promise." Sam said, getting back up to his feet.
Jetfire vented heavily, "What do you fleshings want?" he spat.
"W-We just want to talk…" Leo squeaked out.
The blackbird looked around, seeming to look at the deserted area of old and crashed planes. "Tell me, what planet am I on?" he suddenly asked.
Jen blinked a few times before answering, "Earth! You're on our planet, Planet Earth!" she cupped her mouth to amplify her shout louder for the old Decepticon to hear.
"Earth? What a terrible name for a planet, might as well call it Dirt, Planet Dirt." Jetfire sneered, 'oil' came spitting out from his mouth. The old Decepticon looked a little alarmed as he saw four Autobots vehicles came into his sight of view. He glanced back at the five humans, "Tell me, Autobots… Whose side is winning?" he demanded an answer from the vehicles.
"The 'Cons," Bumblebee growled out from his radio.
"Bah! Blasted those 'Cons… I've changed sides anyway," Jetfire waved his servo around as he sat on a plane.
"You're not the first one," Sunstreaker mumbled, gaining attention from Rumble.
"Wait- so you can change sides?" Rumble piped in as he turn to Sunstreaker and back to Jetfire, crimson optics gleaming with confusion.
Jetfire turn to the smaller Decepticon and his optics lit up a bit more. "It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision. So much negativity. Who wants to live a life filled with hate?"
"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freaking Decepticons?" Rumble asked.
"If the Decepticons had their way, they'd destroy the whole universe!"
Rumble kneeled on the ground next to Mikaela's feet. "I'm changing sides. I'm changing sides too, Warrior Goddess." Mikaela stared down at him, a bit amused. The others pretty much stared at the little scene the Decepticon was making. "Name's Rumble… Who's your little Autobot?"
"You're so cute." Mikaela giggled as she leans down.
Jen rubbed her eyes as she let out a sigh. "Déjà vu…" She said as she shook her head at the little Decepticon. This is exactly what happened to her when she first met the Autobots. Maybe, Rumble is somehow related to Wheelie. When she looked back up to the Decepticon, it was doing something to Mikaela's leg. "Oh boy… a total déjà vu…" she mumbled.
"What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked, his face shown disgust as Rumble kept on doing the thing to his girlfriend's leg.
"At least he's loyal, Sam." Mikaela replied, a hint of annoyance in her tone.
"Yeah, well, he's loyal and he's nude and he's perverted!" Sam pointed a finger at Rumble, remembering the similarities with Wheelie. "Could you just stop that?" He kicked Rumble away from Mikaela's leg.
"Oi! What's the big idea, punk?!" Rumble shouted as he stood back up, turning to face Jen, who took a few steps back, away from the perverted Decepticon. "Come here sweetheart!" Rumble extended his arms, strolling over to Jen.
"I rather not…" Jen said and gave a nervous smile to Rumble. "B-Besides… We have a more important thing to discuss right, Jetfire?" She turned her gaze to the blackbird, who nodded in return.
Sam gave a loud sigh, "What were you saying?" he asked.
Jetfire glared at Sam. "I told you, my name was Jetfire! So, stop judging me!" He shouted at the brunette. "I have issues of my own! And it started with my mother! My ancestors have been here for centuries! My father, why, he was a wheel! The first wheel! Do you know what he transformed into?"
"No." Simmons said, shaking his head.
"Nothing! But he did so with honor! Dignity and-" there was a farting sound as a parachute came out of Jetfire's bottom making him fall back with a loud thump. The Chevy twins laughed at the old Decepticon as the humans ran up to him, to make sure he was alright. "My boosters are fried!" he got up on his elbow, rubbing his face.
Sam approached Jetfire as he gave a sigh, "Look… I know something you don't know. You know something I don't know. We can help each other out…." He got a knife from Simmons and began to carve weird symbols on the ground. "You see this? These are the symbols that are in my brain and Megatron wants something with it." he said, finishing the last symbol.
"And the Decepticon at Shanghai said something about, 'The Fallen shall rise again'. Do you know what that means?" Jen placed a hand on her chin as she looked up at the Jetfire, looking for an answer.
"The Fallen?" Jetfire shouted. "I know him," Bumblebee, Sunstreaker, and the Chevy twins drove up closer. "He left me here to rust!" he hit his chest plates and some of the parts fall off. "The first original Decepticon! He's terrible to work with. It's always apocalypse, chaos, and crisis with him. These transcriptions, they were part of my mission! The Fallen's search! I remember now! For the Dagger's Tip, a-and the Key!"
"O-okay, wait, s-slow down there… um… Jetfire? The Dagger's Tip? The Key? What are you talking about?" Sam asked as they all walked closer to him.
"No time to explain! Hold on, everybody! Stay still or you'll die!"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Jen landed on the hot sand of the desert. She lay on the hot sand as the dry breeze sweep of the sand around her. Slowly, she stood up, coughing, trying to catch her breath. She patted her knees and elbows to get rid of the sand on her clothes. Glancing around the desert, she found Sunstreaker coming towards her direction, grumbling about something. Bumblebee and Sam were found on the other side, Simmons was complaining to Jetfire, the Chevy twins were on the rocks, and finally, Leo was with Mikaela.
"Is everybody alright?" Jen asked, as they regrouped at the place where Jetfire sat.
"No quite…" Sam groaned as his hand twitched in pain. Jen quickly grabbed her first aid kit from her backpack. The blonde grabbed a roll of bandages and bandaged Sam's injured hand. "Thanks…" He said with a small smile.
"No problem." Jen gave a smile, before putting the bandages in her first aid kit and her first aid kit in her backpack. "So where are we exactly, Jetfire?" She questioned the ex-Decepticon.
Before Jetfire could answer, Simmons sharply turned his head to Jetfire with an annoyed look, his finger pointed accusingly at him. "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—"
"Oh shut up!" Jetfire bends down to Simmons level, shouting back at the man as well. "I warn you fleshings that I was going to open a space bridge! It's the fastest way to Egypt!" he leaned against a big rock.
"What?" Sam shouted, marching up to Jetfire. "You didn't tell us anything!"
"Oh don't get snappy with me fleshing!" Jetfire argued.
"Okay… Can we just get into the whole point here?" Mikaela broke the fight between mech and humans.
"This planet was visited by our race once before," he explained, getting up. "—by our earliest ancestors, millennia ago… They were on an exploratory mission to harvest Energon, the lifeblood of our race. Without Energon, we will be gone, perish!" Jetfire screamed.
"Let's not get episodic, okay, old-timer?" Simmons asked, raising a hand. "Beginning- middle- end. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it!" he hit his hand every time he demanded for a topic explanation.
Jetfire turned around. "Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors build a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns." he looked up at the sun.
"The sun? You destroy suns?" Jen asked, her eyes were as wide as saucers.
"Like, boom! Pow! Blow them up?" Leo asked, his hand motioning an explosion.
"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 was, forevermore, the Fallen." he lifted his hand projecting a little screen in front of them showing what he was talking about.
"He despised you, 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 the 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." He shut off the projection.
"Somewhere, buried in this desert, that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is, and if he finds the Tomb of the Primes, you world will be no more." he finished in a low voice.
"So how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked.
"Only a prime can defeat him," Jetfire let out a heavy vent.
"A prime? Like Optimus Prime?" Sam added.
"You know a Prime?! Is he here?" Jetfire leaned forward, his optics shining brightly.
"He died… because he protected me…" Sam looked down to his shoes, feeling guilty of Optimus' death.
Jen saw the guilty look in Sam's eyes. She also felt guilty about the death of the Prime. A comforting hand was placed on Sam's shoulder, "Ultra Magnus is also a Prime I guess… He's a relative to Optimus. Can he defeat the Fallen?" She asked.
Jetfire seemed to be thinking for a few seconds before answering, "I don't know, but maybe he can defeat the Fallen. Like I said, fleshing, only a Prime can defeat him."
Sam suddenly looked up, an idea popping into his head. "So, the same energy that's gonna be used to reactivate the machine, could that energy somehow be used to reactive Optimus and bring him back to life?" He continued, a hint of hope in his eyes.
"That might work. It's an energy source like no other,"
"So where do I find the Matrix?" Sam asked.
Jetfire raised a finger and tapped his helm, repeatedly. "Follow your mind, your map," Jetfire hit his head. "The symbols! What you carved in the sand, it's your clue: 'When dawn lights the Dagger's Tip, Three Kings will reveal the doorway!'" he put his cane close to Sam. "Find the doorway! Go now! Go! That was my mission! It's your mission now!" They backed away a little."Go before the Decepticons find me and find you!"
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
"Can you at least slow down a little?" Jen asked from behind the steering wheel.
Sunstreaker was going one hundred and twenty miles per hour. He was somehow mad at Jen for making him take the human mech again. If his alt-mode could smirk, he would, because the human mech began to tremble in the leather seat as he gripped on the grab handle for his dear life. As for Jen, well, she just gripped on the steering wheel with one hand and her other free hand pinched the bridge of her nose, looking frustrated.
"The others are way behind us," Jen said again, trying to slow Sunstreaker down. The golden Stingray didn't slow down a single mile per hour, instead, he went faster. "You'll hit pedestrians if you continue to drive like this," she said again, followed by a heavy sigh. Finally an idea popped into her head as she glanced over to the frightened mech on the passenger seat. "If you continue to drive like this, you might scare Leo…" she whispered to the Autobot insignia on the steering wheel.
"So? That's the whole point." The radio responded smugly.
Jen gave a small smirk, "From the looks his face is showing… I think that his bladder is about to burst." She said and the radio didn't reply anything. She rolled her blue eyes playfully and leaned forward again, "Meaning… He'll leak lubricants… on your leather seat."
"DISGUSTING!" The golden Stingray slowed down instantly, going to twenty miles per hour, as he waited for the others while talking. "Listen here, mech… You. Don't. Leak. Lubricants. In. Me. Got. It?" The radio spat bitterly.
"Y-You got it…" Leo squeaked as he loosed his grip on the grab handle.
Jen gave a smile and patted the dashboard. "Awww, you two are having a bonding moment! I'll leave you two alone, so you can get along more… Like mech to boy talk?" She took off the seatbelt and opened the door, but Leo quickly stopped the blonde from leaving. "Yes? What is it? Is your seatbelt stuck? Sunstreaker, could you please release his seatbelt?" She turned to the radio.
"Don't leave me alone with this—this speed demon!" Leo half whispered, half yelled.
"Speed Demon?" Jen raised an eyebrow at Sunstreaker's new nickname.
"Yeah… He's trying to kill me with speed!" Leo quietly screamed, glancing over to the radio.
Jen gave a small sigh and closed the door.
"Incoming message from commander," Bumblebee's voice was heard from the radio.
"Is it from Magnus?" Jen asked.
"I'm afraid not, pretty lady," Bumblebee replied as Jen leaned back on the headrest. Sunstreaker growled at Bumblebee's reply, but the scout chooses to ignore it. "Listen kids, we're going 34.5 degree north, 38 east. It's a part of the Red Sea. It divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of the blade. We need to get big man delivered. Stop at the next town." Bumblebee's voice was replaced by Simmons'.
Jen placed the seatbelt back on as Sunstreaker revved his engine loudly, making the goats around him bleat loudly. Leo also made groaning noises as he quickly fasten his seatbelt tightly and held the grab handle once more with his dear life. A short laugh came out from the radio before the car suddenly jerked forward, accelerating to the next town.
"We've got cops!" Leo screamed as he looked over to the side mirrors.
There were a couple of police cars following the Chevrolet cars. The traditional blue and red light flashing brightly as the sirens went off loudly, alerting the shepherds to give way for them to chase the speeding cars. However, the police lost the cars at a sharp turn. Slowing down as they keep an eye out from any expensive cars, their sirens died down while the lights were still flashing. Unknown to the police, the cars were right above their noses.
Mikaela grabbed a black robe from the laundry basket as Leo also joined in the costume party. They both kept on a look out from the police as Sam, Simmons, and Jen searched for a payphone. Mikaela rolled her eyes as she saw Leo trying to blend in with the citizens when the police car went pass by him. The Spanish boy was acting like he was in an actual video game. What was that game Sam talked about again? Oh right, Assassins Creed Online. It took her a whole month to get Sam away from the computer and drag him outside to become more active.
"Does anyone have a quarter? Penny?" Simmons asked as he held the phone on his hand and his other hand motioning for Sam and Jen to give some changes.
In unison, Sam and Jen searched every pocket they got, but found nothing but dollars, America's money. "Sorry Simmons… But we only got dollars…" Sam muttered, rubbing the back of his head. He turned his attention to Jen, "Do you have anything than dollars?" He asked and Jen only shook her head as a reply.
"Great… Just great… How on Earth are we going to call base now?" Simmons gave a loud sigh as he placed the phone back and ran his fingers through his hair.
Jen also gave a desperate sigh. She spotted a local villager, selling vegetables to the female villagers. "Hold on okay? I think I got an idea." A small smile appeared across her lips.
"Wait—where are you going?" Simmons questioned. Both Sam and Simmons watch in confusion as Jen began to jog across the street. They both gave loud groans and disapproving comments when Jen was seen in the crowd of women buying vegetables from the seller. "Oh c'mon! This is not the time for shopping! We can cook vegetable kebabs later!" Simmons complained.
Jen came back, jogging towards the two with coins in her hands. "Here, I exchange my ten dollar bill to Egyptian Pound. You can call base now," She gave Simmons a few coins before putting the rest inside her pocket. After putting in the left over coins, she glance back up to see both Sam and Simmons were paralyzed. She clapped her hands together, snapping them both out of their thoughts. "Well? What are you waiting for? Call my dad already!" She said.
"I didn't know you speak Arabian…" Sam muttered.
"I don't. It's too hard for me." Jen gave a small smile as she saw Simmons dialing the base's number. "That guy can speak in four different languages, including English." She admitted with a shrug.
"Oh…" Sam mouthed an 'O'. He turned back to Simmons, who was still waiting for the call to be answered. "Any luck? Can you contact Will?" He asked.
"No—wait, did you say Will, as in William Lennox? Captain William Lennox?" Simmons suddenly turned to face Sam.
"Yeah, but he's Major now," Sam answered.
Simmons looked surprised, "Oh no! No! No! No! No! No way am I talking to that man!" he made an X with his arms as he threw the phone to Sam.
"What? Why?" Jen asked.
"Dude! Just talk to 'im!" Mudflap complaints.
Simmons turned to the Autobots, focusing on Bumblebee. "There's no way I'm talking to him! I have issues with that guy." He crossed his arms across his chest. He turned around and saw the confused look on Jen's face. "Listen kid… Let's just say we got pissed at each other because of some difficulties at Hoover Dam." He said with a frustrated look.
"I see…" Jen responded.
"Just great… You have problems with Will and I can't call him because I'm a wanted fugitive!" Sam shouted as he rubbed his temples, trying to calm down. "Can you contact your brother or anyone else?" Sam asked to the Autobots.
"I can," Sunstreaker nodded. "But, if I contacted Sides then our whereabouts will be found out by pain in the aft Galloway." He vented heavily.
Jen stared up at the golden mech. Sadness was seen in his optics. She felt the same thing when Emily was put in prison and she can't visit her for the pass year, and of course, she missed Emily's eighteenth birthday. Suddenly, there was someone talking on the other line of the phone. Jen panicked and tossed the phone to Sam who then tossed the phone to Simmons who tosses the phone back to Sam and lastly, Sam tossed it to Jen. They argued quietly about talking to the person. Finally Jen pressed the phone on her ear, still arguing, using only mouth movements.
"Sorry about this…" Sam steps on Jen's foot, making her held her breath in pain.
"Ahhhhh yes," Jen groaned in pain and at the same time she responded to the person at the other line. "I would like to speak with Major William Lennox, please. This is his… niece." She said.
"Alright, please wait for a moment." The woman responded.
"Thank you," Jen smiled at the phone and turned to glare at Sam and Simmons, mouthing 'you two owe me for this one.'
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Major William Lennox stood next to Sergeant Robert Epps as he watched the Autobots being strapped down and netted to some trucks. He just can't believe Director Galloway came with orders from the higher-ups to dispatch the N.E.S.T team along with taking away his badge of Major earlier. All they can do is: go back to Diego Garcia and wait for orders. Currently, they were loading the Autobots in the cargo plane as well as the N.E.S.T soldiers were marching inside.
"Can't believe that pain in the ass Galloway took your badge," Epps said as he shook his head, glancing over to where Director Galloway was yelling at some random soldier. "Pain in the ass…" He mumbled under his breath.
Will couldn't help but nodded in agreement. "Yeah… I just hope Jen and the others are okay." He ran his fingers through his hair.
"Hey, man… Don't worry, she's with Bee and Sunny. Last time I checked, those two are protective of her, right Sides?" Epps leaned forward as he saw a silver Stingray coming up.
"You bet cha," Sideswipe responded as quietly as he can. "See 'ya two later." The mech whispered as he was loaded inside the cargo plane.
"Ah… What a nice mech…" Epps smiled.
A soldier came up to Will and Epps, after he saluted, the soldier said: "Major Lennox, there's a phone call for you… It's from your niece." He said.
"Niece?" Will and Epps asked in unison and the soldier just shrugged.
Will took the phone anyway. He pressed the phone on his ear, curious on how his niece got the military's number. "Hello? Who's this?" Will quickly asked, still feeling wary.
"Uncle… It's me," Will immediately recognize the voice as his adoptive daughter. "No time to talk… Sorry… But you have to get big boss here and bring his friends too. The code is: Sands, Pyramids, and Mummies? Hey, Mummies don't exist…" She mumbled to someone. "Okay, okay… Geez… No need to yell at me… I've got to go uncle… See you soon?" And she hung up.
After a moment of silence, Epps raised his eyebrow at Will. "So…. Who's on the phone? Is she really your niece? What did she said?" He asked with a confused look.
Will smirked as he gave the phone back to the soldier. "It was my daughter. She's calling from overseas." He said and Epps gave a huge grin. "We're going to Egypt." He whispered and Epps nodded. "Alright everybody! Let's load up!" he shouted to his troops.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Jen placed the phone back as she gave a loud sigh of relief. "You two really owe me big time…" She sighed out.
Sam laughed nervously, "And we will pay you back somehow… Right now, we just need to get out of here and find shelter. It's getting dark soon. We can search for the Matrix tomorrow morning." He said as he saw his guardian nodded his helm.
As soon as the four Chevrolets finished transforming into their alt-mode, Leo came running towards the group as Mikaela calmly walk back.
"Guys! We've gotta get out of here! The cops are coming!" Leo exclaimed frantically as he took off his disguise.
"He's lying," Mikaela said calmly. "The cops are not really coming."
Sam gave Leo a look before entering Bumblebee's alt-mode with Simmons and Mikaela. "Hey… C'mon guys… I thought that will bring your spirits back up!" Leo defended. He watched as the others left the village. "Oh C'mon! Can you guys take a joke?" He sighed out.
"Leo!" Said boy turned around to see Jen waiting for him. She lazily waved to Leo as the Stingray revved his engine loudly. Leo instantly paled as he had to experience the Speed Demon's driving. "C'mon! Let's go! We're going to find shelter!" Jen yelled waving her hand to him.
"Oh gosh… please, please, help me survive." Leo muttered to himself.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Leo and Jen waited as they saw Leo talking to a soldier. At first, the soldier refused to let them pass through the gates without any passport, but as soon as Simmons said something to the soldier. Their expressions changed from serious to excitement. They let them through the gates without any problems. Jen smiled through the tinted windows as she saw the soldiers were waving their hands. She waved her hands back at the soldiers, thanking them for letting her and her friends through.
Eventually, they reached the point where there was an abandoned warehouse. Sam, Simmons, and Leo broke down the woods that were blocking the door while Mikaela and Jen keep watch for anyone. As for the Autobots, they drove away from the warehouse to find another way in because the small human door isn't big enough for them to fit in.
Jen was down stairs, setting up a small fire while both Simmons and Leo had somehow fallen asleep, hugging each other. The blonde decided to leave Sam and Mikaela to have some alone time. She heard the couple talking from the second floor, apologizing to each other. A smile curled up to the blonde's lips, things were going fine with the two now. She stood up after creating the small fire. She grabbed a couple of sheets to use as a blanket for Simmons and Leo. After the tucked in the two big boys, she went back to sit near the fire.
"Cold?" A sheet was placed on top of her head.
Jen looked up and smiled. "Good evening, Bumblebee." She said as she scooted away for Bumblebee to sit. The scout gave a chuckle before sitting near the clueless human femme. "Where are the others, Bumblebee? Are they slee—I mean in recharge?" she asked.
Bumblebee nodded, "Yup, I think so. Skids and Mudflap are in recharge. And as for Sunny, I think he's in one too." he smiled warmly. Jen gave a slight nod and turned away to gaze at the small fire. He shivered a little as a small hand was placed on top of his holoform's hands. "Jen? Are you okay?" he asked, concern.
"You're cold…" Jen started. She scooted closer to the scout and placed the sheet on him as well, sharing the sheet together. "You're cold and you're worrying about me?" She asked as she leaned against Bumblebee's shoulder.
"But I'm just a holoform," Bumblebee stated nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. "We don't even have a human heart or human bloods." He sighed out.
"But you have a Spark and Energon… that almost the same as our human hearts and bloods. As far as I know, we're both the same." Jen said as she kept on staring at the fire. "Well… apart from where you guys are really advance and strong." She continued.
Bumblebee chuckled, "You're right about that," He smiled as he reached his hand out to grab Jen's other shoulder, pulling her closer to him. "But you humans are also advance at some point. The way you feel, the way you think, the way you act towards each other…" The scout gulped as he felt his cheeks getting the color red. "The way you… express your feelings…" he trailed off, leaning forward as Jen stared up at the electric blue eyes curious on what he was talking about.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
From a distance, Sunstreaker wasn't really in recharge. The golden mech scowled when he saw Bumblebee, the scout, was making a lot of moves on his and Sides' femme. The Chevy twins were also bugging the front line warrior, with the rambling in sleep. It bothered the Stingray very much. He drove a little forward to avoid getting scratched by the glitch headed twins. The golden colored Stingray growled when he saw the Chevrolet Camaro shuddered. Something must've happen in that abandoned warehouse.
His holoform flickered on and quickly snuck inside the warehouse without anyone noticing. With his holoform's eyes, he saw an old mech and the annoying teenage mech, snuggling each other. His look turned into disgust when he saw the two were hugging each other. His gaze turned to the talking blondes, covered by a white sheet. His sensitive holoform's audio receptors turned on high, eavesdropping on the scout and Jen.
"The way you… express your feelings…" The scout was trailing off!
Quickly, Sunstreaker moved forward. He just had to take action before something happens!
Sunstreaker placed his arms around Jen from behind, the sheet was still covering her head. "I-I have something to tell you…" He said, his cheeks turning red. His cooling systems turned on in his alt-mode while his holoform was sweating. Disgusting. "I-I love you…" He finally admitted. "I hope you can return this feeling to Sides and me." He finished.
There, he finally committed his feelings.
"Uh…" Jen began.
"Yes?" Sunstreaker responded, hugging a little tighter.
"I didn't know you and Sideswipe have feelings for Bumblebee…" Jen gave a nervous smile as she scooted away from the new couple. She gave a fake smile soon after, feeling uncomfortable when Sunstreaker admitted his feelings for the scout. He should've admitted his feelings when she was asleep. Then she wouldn't have been bothered. "Well… Congratulations… I guess…" She offered a hand for the two.
"What?" Sunstreaker asked. He glanced down and saw Bumblebee twitching in annoyance. "What the frag? Pit spawn scout! You fragging ruined my move!" he pushed away the scout from his embrace.
"Me?! You're the one who ruined my move!" Bumblebee argued, pointing his index finger at the warrior.
"I think I'll check on Samuel and Mikaela…" Jen trailed off as she began to climb up the stairs.
"No! Wait Jen! It's not what it looks like!" Sunstreaker shouted, but Jen choose to ignore his calls. She thought they both needed, some alone time for Bumblebee to process everything into his helm. "Oh great… Now she thinks I like you, glitch." He face palmed.
"Now she thinks I like you, Sunshine." Bumblebee imitated as he crossed his arms.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
As Jen was walking up the stairs, she saw both Sam and Mikaela staring out into the open sky. She soon joined in the stare as the stars twinkled brightly to them. But Sam was observing the stars, not admiring the beauty of the night sky while Mikaela was. He looked back and saw Jen was right behind him and Mikaela. The brunette nodded his head and pointed his finger to a star, tracing them into one line.
"You guys see those three stars?" Sam pointed to the three stars in line. "The stars, see the last one touches the horizon? That's Orion's Belt. It's also called the three kings, the reason for that is because the three Egyptian kings who riled in Giza built them to mirror those stars." He finished as the two girls nodded. "It's like an arrow staring you in your face."
"They all point due east, towards Jordan." Jen said. "The Mountain of Petra… I always wanted to go there…"
"Well, looks like your wish has come true. We're going there." Sam smiled as he grabbed he ran down the stairs to wake Simmons and Leo up.
Mikaela nudges Jen on her upper arm, smiling brightly as Jen smiled back. "So… What happened down there? All I heard was Sunny admitting his love…" She winked.
"Huh… Oh yeah." Jen nodded.
"So? What happened next?" Mikaela questioned with a smile.
"I don't know… I haven't heard Bumblebee's answer yet." Jen tapped her chin and gave a nervous smile as Mikaela's smile turned into a disbelief frown. "Yeah… I know… It's hard that to believe Sunstreaker and Sideswipe likes Bumblebee. I didn't even know… err…you know… mech and mech together?" She ran her fingers through her hair.
"Me neither…" Mikaela trailed off, blinking a few times to accept the fact. She thought Sunstreaker was admitting his feelings to Jen, not Bumblebee. "We better get going… and never speak of that again okay? It feels… wrong. Just down straight wrong." She shook her head.
"Y-Yeah…" Jen nodded in agreement.
"Are you girls ready?" Sam shouted from down the stairs.
"We're coming," Mikaela replied grabbing her jacket. She and Jen jogged down the stairs to see the Autobots' holoforms, Sam, Simmons, and Leo all woken up and ready to go on the road trip. "Maybe you should ride with either Mudflap or Skids. To you know… avoid conflict from Sunny and Bee." Mikaela whispered the last part.
"Oh yeah! 'Ya 're riddin' with us!" Skids pumped his fist up.
"Only one of you," Jen remarked, adjusting the backpack on her back.
"Then 'ya 're riddin' with me." Mudflap said, his holoform smirking.
"No 'ya, Freakin' Stupid! She's riddin' with me!" Skids argued.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Enough! Let's just go already!" Sam yelled, breaking the twins from their fight.
Jen rolled her eyes and steps inside Mudflap.
"Oh yeah, she chose me!" Mudflap shouted.
"Shut up, Freakin' Stupid!" Skids yelled over the radio.
Jen rolled her eyes and placed her hands on the steering wheel.
A/N: Poor Sunny… Anyway, I've decided to pick the name Silverstreak from Galem
I was literally stuck between Nightshade (suggested by Nightshadow101) and Silverstreak… Both are very pretty names.
