Italic means thoughts and dream P.O.V.

We had been driving for hours now, Cassie and I were Skids thankfully he was not playing his Rap station.

"Rowan we're here." Cassie said I looked out of Skids windshield to see the Museum.

We climbed out to see Simmons using binoculars to see the Museum. "Smithsonian Air and Space museum land of dreams in there." He said. "All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut."

He suddenly ripped off his pants showing off his underwear, Cassie suddenly covered my eyes.

"Hold those." Simmons said.

"What is that?" Sam asked.

"What? I wear them when I'm in a funk." Simmons said. "So does Giambi, Jeter. It's a baseball thing. Okay. Watches synchronized sharp mind and empty bladder. You get caught, demand an attorney and don't ever say my name." He threw an orange pill bottle to Sam. "Okay, take one of these pills. Slip it under your tongue. It's the high- concentrate polymer they put in Oreo cookies tricks the polygraph every time. Okay. Now let's get this show on the road." He checked a taster

"No, listen, I can't do this." Leo said. "I'm not some alien bounty hunter, guys. I'm not gonna do this. Guards have guns. I don't want to die."

"Kid, kid, kid." Simmons said pushing at Leo against Skids. "You compromise this mission, you are dead to me. Now look into my eyes and tighten up that sphincter."

Time Lapse

Cassie and I were on the main floor as we heard the museum was closing, Cassie grabbed my hand and pulled into a hiding place. "I can hear Leo doing his part." She said quietly.

She stuck her head and gave me the thump up meaning its clear. We quickly ran to find the others.

"We just downed five guards." Simmons said. "Five guards. Get your stuff and get out of here."

"Give me a second here." Sam said pulling the piece of the All spark out.

"Be good." Mikaela said pointing at the now free con.

"I'm claustrophobic." He said.

We started to go through the hanger of different planes, I started to feel for Energon sparks.

"Look, look follow him follow he knows where he's going." Mikaela said pointing at the little con. We ran after him. "He knows something."

"What?" Sam asked.

"He knows something." Mikaela said.

We passed a blackbird, I could feel the Energon and came to a stop followed by Simmons holding his tracker. "You got what I got?"

"Yeah." Sam said.

"Blackbird." Simmons said.

The little con transformed. "There he is, this guy's a legend, like the chairman of the board! Yo, freshman, point the shard and watch the magic happen." He turn to face Sam who was climbed under the fence. The Shard when flying and hit the blackbird, the energy when crazy I could easily feel it.

Both Mikaela and Sam ran and Mikaela yelled. "Shit. It's a Decepticon!"

"Decepticon?" Simmons asked.

"Decepticon?" Leo asked.

Cassie grabbed me and ran. "Behind the Mig now!" Simmons yelled running after us.

I watch from under the plane to see the con transformer and I realized it was an old school con.

"What sort of hideous mausoleum is this?" He asked. "Answer me, Pawns and Knaves!" He yelled hitting a yellow plane sending it flying. "Show yourselves or suffer my infinite wrath!"

We slipped out and came over quickly, Cassie was keeping a grip on her dagger. "You little spinal cord based organisms! Bugger it!" as another thing hit him and it crashed rolling towards us. "Behold the eternal glory of Jetfire! Prepare for remote systems override!"

"I tell you, this guy did not age well," Little con said.

"I don't think he's gonna hurt us." Mikaela said.
"I command these doors to open." Jetfire said. "Fire! I said, fire!"

He when to fire his missile but it when the opposite way coming towards us, Cassie move quickly get me out-of-the-way. "Bollocks!" Jetfire hit the doors and there went down. "Damn these worthless parts."

"Wait a second!" Sam yelled going after him.

"Itchy, wretched rust in my arse!" Jetfire yelled as he walked out.

"Hey I need to ask you a question?" I yelled running after him and having the others run after us.

"We gotta catch that plane!" Simmons said.

"No kidding." Cassie said.

Bee came to a sudden stop

"Right, I'm on a mission." Jetfire said.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!" We all yelled.

"What do you want?" Jetfire asked.

"Look, we just want to talk!" Sam yelled back.

"I have no time to talk. I'm on a mission." Jetfire said back. "I'm a mercenary doom bringer, what planet am I on?"

"Earth." Sam said.

"Earth?" Jetfire said. "Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it dirt planet dirt. Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on?" He was leaning down looking at us. "Who' winning?"

"The Decepticons." Sam said.

"Well, I changed sides to the Autobots." Jetfire said

"What do you mean, changed sides?" Sam asked.

"It's a choice, it's an intensely personal decision." Jetfire said. '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?" The little con asked.

"If Deceptions had their way, they'd destroy the universe." Jetfire said.

"I'm changing sides, I'm changing sides, too, warrior goddess." The Little con said climbing on to Mikaela leg and started to hump her.

"Who's your little autobot?" He asked.

"You're cute." Mikaela said as Sam looked on.

"Jealous?" I asked/ whispered.

"Shut it." Sam growled back.

"Name's Wheelie yeah say my name, say my name" Wheelie said.

"What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked.

"At least he's faithful, Sam." Mikaela said.

"Yeah, well, he's faithful and he's nude and he's perverted." Sam said and kicked Wheelie off. "Can you just stop?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Wheelie asked.

"It's just something to think. I won't argue with what were you saying?"

"I told you name was Jetfire so stop judging me." Jetfire said coming down causing everyone except Cassie and myself to fall.

"Somebody shit the bed this morning." Wheelie said.

"I have issues of my own "Jetfire said. "And it started with my mother! My ancestors have been here for centuries. My father, he was a wheel, the first wheel, do you know what he transformed into?"

"No." Simmons said.

"Nothing!" Jetfire yelled back. "But he did so with honor, dignity, damn it!" He then passed gas out a parachutes and when down, we ran towards him. "My boosters are fired."

"I think we can help each other." Sam said. "You know things I don't know I know things you don't know, I do."

"I don't think he knows anything. Honestly, I don't." Leo said.

Sam took one of Cassie dagger and drew in the ground. "I could do this all day it comes in waves, these vivid symbols. They're symbols, but they're in my mind you see, all this is in my mind and Megatron wants what's in my mind." He said and stood up. "Him and someone called the Fallen."

"The Fallen? I know him." Jetfire said. "He left me here to rust. The original Decepticon. He's terrible to work for it's always apocalypse, chaos, and crisis. There transcriptions, they were part of my mission, The Fallen's search. I remember now, for the Dagger's tip, and the key."

"Slow down. The dagger's tip? The Key? What are you talking about?" Sam asked.

"No time to explain, Hold on everybody! Stay still or you'll die!" Jetfire said as electric current started to come, I could feel Energon as a bright white light took us over. I crashed into something hot, I blinked and open my eyes to see I was totally different place it, I put my hands down to feel sand.

"What the heck?" I asked.

"Sam?" I heard Mikaela yelled.

"Rowan!" I heard Cassie yelled.

"Over here!" I called back and started to run followed the others voices.

"I told you I was opening a space bridge, it's the fastest way to travel to Egypt." Jetfire said.

"Wait we are in Egypt?" Cassie asked. "This is not good."

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Later." Cassie said back.

"When did you when did you tell us?" Sam asked. "You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything why are we in Egypt?" as Mikaela was trying his hand up.

"Don't you get snippy with me, fleshling!" Jetfire yelled. "You were duly informed!"

"Just for the record we were not informed!" I yelled looking up at the old bot getting mad blue lightning cranking around my fingertip.

"Rowan peace." Cassie said.

"Can you stop for a second can you focus?" Sam asked. "Can you tell us why we're in Egypt so we can all have a little bit of semblance of peace of mind?"

"This planet was visited by our race once before," Jetfire said. "By our earliest ancestors, millennia 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!" Jetfire said as bits of him break away. "Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?"

"Let's not get episodic, okay old-timer?" Simmons asked. "Beginning middle end. Facts, details, condense plot, tell it."

"Somewhere buried in this desert our ancestors built a great machine." Jetfire said back. "It harvests Energon by destroying suns."

"Destroy suns?" Sam asked.

"You mean blow them up?" Leo asked.

"Yes. You see, in the beginning," Jetfire said. "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." Jetfire then lifted his hand and saw an image of the Fallen which was the giant ape thing that were on the t.v. screen in Times Square. I realized that was thing I was dealing with in my dreams. "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. 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."

"Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked.

"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." Jetfire said.

I gripped Cassie hand, knowing Optimus had gone to the all spark.

"Optimus Prime?" Sam asked.

Jetfire came to face with Sam.

"So, you've met a Prime?" He asked. "Why, you must have met a great descendant. Is he alive, here on this planet?"

"He sacrificed himself to save me." Sam said.

"So, he's dead." Jetfire said. "Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could stop The Fallen."

"So, the same energy that's gonna be used to reactivate the machine, could that energy somehow be used to reactivate Optimus and bring him back to life?"

"It was never designed for that purpose, but it's an energy like no other." Jetfire said.

"So, then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to me?" Sam asked.

"Follow your mind, your map, and your symbols." Jetfire said pointing at his head. "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! That was my mission it's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you."

Cassie pulled me along with the others, as we climbed down and headed away with the bots. Both Cassie and I were in Skids but we had con link on so we could easily talk to each other.

"Okay, here what my CIA contact says," We could hear Simmons talking. "Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the dagger's tip."

"That's the dagger's tip." We heard Sam said.

"It's part of the Red sea." Simmons said back. "It divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east. Here it is."

"First thing we've got to do is get Optimus to the dagger's tip." Sam said.

"How are you gonna get him halfway around the world?" I heard Leo asked.

"I'm gonna make a call." I heard Sam said.

"I can help with that." I said back.

I could heard the sirens of cop cars.

"We got cops." I heard Sam said.

"Head down." Cassie ordered.

I did so hiding my head.

"Sam, we have to get off this road and lay low." I heard Simmons said.

We managed to get off the road, Cassie kept me behind her as Mikaela was serving at the outlook. The twins were above us with Bee holding.

"Man, stupid cops!" Skids said.

"This is what's called blending in like a ninja." Mudflap said.

"Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face." Skids said back.

"They're gone." Mikaela whispered.

"Okay, we're running out of time." Sam said. "I gotta make the call to Lennox…"

"You're on the Worldwide Wanted list." Simmons said cutting him off. "Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds. CIA is all over this place!"

"You're gonna call." Sam said.

"You need the right code," I said quickly getting away from Cassie.

"Okay, that's a good idea." Simmons said.

"All right." Sam said.

"I mean, I just had my mind on other things," Simmons said moving his hands like crazy. "Like winding up in an Egyptian prison." We waited by phone as Simmons for calling. "Lennox, I'm with the kids. The kid you know the one with the attitude, right?"

"Give me the phone." I said.

"What why?" Simmons asked.

"Rowan let Simmons do what he needs to do." Sam said.

"We need the truck. The truck." Simmons said. "We got a possible resurrection going on over here. You're not gonna believe where we are. Code Tut, as in King Tutankhamen. Back of a one dollar bill. Coordinates for airdrop, 29.5 north, and 34.88 east write it down. Write it. Oh, my god. I got to go. Okay heat comes. Wait. Who are you?"

"Wait. It's me Leo Me Leo Leo Leo" He said pulling off the mask. "Cops are coming now we need to go!"

I could hear the cops sirens we started to run.

"Move, move, move, move." Simmons said.

Time lapse

I was down on the backseat of Skids while Cassie was sitting in the front, my head was started to hurt.

"Oh shit." I heard Cassie muttered.

"What?" I asked.

"We coming up to a checkpoint." Cassie said.

"For real?" I asked.

"Yes," Cassie said. "Get the bag by your feet and handed to me."

I quickly did so, Cassie dig through it and pulled out two passports.

"What the heck?" I asked.

"Hush," Cassie said going through them before handing me one. "Be quiet and handed it to them. Skids active the holograph."

"I don't have one." Skids said.

"For real?" Cassie asked, she quickly climbed into Skids diver seat. "Simmons is doing something. Hold your breath. There talking and Simmons just pointed at us their opening the gate and waving us through." Skids quickly drove following Bee.

Cassie let go of a breath.

"Were good?" I asked.

"We're good." Cassie said back.

Time lapse

We finally stop and climbed this giant hill and quickly move.

"Undercover, Yo. You got to blend in with your surroundings." Skids said turning to act cool. "You Know, you got to be part of the landscape." As we ran to closed building looking at a giant pyramid.

"Move." Cassie ordered to Sam before pulling out a lock pick tool and quickly got it to open.

"How did you?" I asked.

"Tell you later." She said.

"Awesome! I think alien built that." I heard Simmons said. "Come on. Move it! Move it!"

We quickly ran in.

"Guard us, Low profile don't make a scene, okay?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, some of us got work to do!" Wheelie said. "Dumb Autobots." Mikaela shut the door.

Cassie did a quick spread of the building and consider it safe. I quickly sat looking at a statue of animal head with a human body.

"Wheelie come here." I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Just come here." I ordered.

"Fine." He said and rolled towards me. "What?"

"Stay still." I said and gently raised my hand and allowed my all spark energy come out and warp it around him.

"What are you doing?" Wheelie asked.

The energy started to fix his eyes until it was back to normal. I gently pulled my hand away the energy disappeared.

"What did you do?" Wheelie asked gently touching his eye. "You fix it how?"

"My reason now go" I said.

"Thank you." He said and rolled off.

"You okay?" Cassie asked coming to my side.

"Yes just a little tired." I said.

"Get some sleep." Cassie said.

"Thanks." I said closing my eyes.

Okay that the end of chapter 9 more is coming please tell me what you think but please be kind about it okay.
