Chapter 20

"Hey!" Sam yelled jumping out of the way of Skids as he slammed into the wall. He and Mudflap were fighting, again. Bee stepped in front of me from where I was laying on the ground. He picked one twin up and each hand and banged their heads together before he threw them out the door.

Bee knelt down in front of me, "You okay?" he asked offering me his hand.

"Yeah, I think so, thanks Bee," I said taking his hand to help me get to my feet. I then noticed Sam and Simmons removing part of the wall. "What is it Sam?" I asked.

"This is it! Bee, shoot it," Sam said as he, Simmons, Leo, and Mikaela moved to the door way. Bee picked me up and held me to his chest as he blasted a hole in the wall. After a few moments everyone came back. Bee set me down so I could follow the others into the hole in the wall and judging by the wind that was blowing out of it; this was a cave of some sort that had another opening. I looked around me in awe.

All six Primes were here. Leo was yelling, listening to his echo, I remained silent, trying to be respectful of where I was. Sam and I made our way to the middle of the Primes, and we found the Matrix. "The Matrix," I breathed. Sam went to pick it up and he got it just a few inches from the hand of one of the Primes and it turned to dust. "No! No," I said trying to get my head around this.

"No, it can't be," Sam said running his hands hand through the dust, the other being wrapped in some what was once white cloth.

"Thousands of years, turned to dust," Simmons said.

"This is not how it's supposed to end," Sam said disbelief in his voice.

"Hear that? C-17, the US air force," Simmons said running outside.

"What's a C-17?" Leo asked. Right now I couldn't care less what a C-17 was. We had just called the air force here, and now we had brought them all this way for nothing, unless we could still find a way to use the Matrix.

"You can't bring him back Sam. There's nothing left," Mikaela said. Thankfully Sam spoke up before I could.

"Look! Look around you! We did not go through everything we went through for it end like this. We did not come all this way for it to end like this. There is a reason that we are here! The voices and symbols in my head led us here for a purpose. Everyone's after Allison and I because of what we know and what I know is that this is going to work." Sam retrieved one of his socks from his feet and proceeded to put the dust of the Matrix into it.

"How do you know that it's going to work?" Mikaela asked holding a flash light.

"Because I believe," Sam replied. Sam finished putting the dust into his sock and tied it off, pocketing it.

"Sam! Allison!" Simmons called. We scrambled to our feet to get out the door. We had a long ways to go.
