TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen Prime
Revised
Chapter 5

Unknown Place
2009

Bumblebee and the twins pulled into what looked like to be a old abandoned...castle. At least, that's what Matsuri would describe it. The three pulled to the stop and Leo, Mikaela, Sam and Matsuri stepped out of Bumblebee. Sam wrapped an arm around her shoulders and began to usher her to walk. He made her sit down in chair with a white table and found another and sat in it on the other side of the small table.

He held her hands, neither saying anything. How could they? Nothing anyone could say will fix what had happened to them and what they had witnessed hours before. The two could hear mumbles coming from Leo's phone as Leo watched from within the building next to them.

"Bro, you need to listen to this man, you gotta check this out." They heard Leo pause. "They have a picture of me, man. We're dead, bro. FBI, CIA, we are wanted fugitives now!"

The siblings got up and began walking, Leo trailing behind them.

"I just need you to focus for one minute, man." Leo piped up.

"Just stop." Sam tried to get him to shut up but didn't work.

"This thing has blown up to a whole other level, all right?"

"You know what? Give me this thing." Sam grabbed Leo's phone and handed it to Matsuri. "They can track us. Do you see this?"

"What?"

Sam nodded to Matsuri and she crushed the phone in her mechanical hand before dropping the pieces and the three began walking again.

"They can track us?" squeaked Leo. "Like satellite track us? Woah woah, okay, I'm not even with you guys! Technically. I'm like a hostage. This is kidnapping...enough is-"

"Yo, Leo!" greeted Skids as he walked into the courtyard, causing the human to jump.

"This thing's gonna give me a heart attack, I swear."

"That 'cause you is a wuss." stated Mudflap.

"You guys forced me into that car, right?"

"I think he's scared."

"Hey, Mudflap, what we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" questioned Skids.

"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?"

"Not in my trunk."

"Yo, bumper cars? I'm hearing you, Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell of a day!" snapped Leo before walking to Sam and Matsuri.

"Why don't you get a haircut with your bitch ass?" snorted Skids. "Go whine to your boyfriend."

"Listen, Sam, I know what I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like, I had nothing to do with this. So, I'm not an accomplice."

"Hey, you wanted this, right?" snapped Sam. "You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you! Stop complaining."

NEST Outpost
2009

Will stared as the body of Optimus Prime being dropped onto the air strip with the remaining autobots, rolled up. Will knew that the kids were safe when he noticed the three missing autobots, which allowed him a tiny bit of relief- which didn't last long.

A convoy of military hummers circled the remaining autobots after they had transformed, guns raised at them.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Sideswipe.

"You dare point a gun at me?!" Snarled Ironhide. "You want a piece of me, I will tear you apart!"

"Drop your weapons!" ordered Will. "Drop your weapons!"

Will turned to a soldier. "Tell them to lower their weapons!"

"Tell them first." the soldier stated.

"Tell them to lower their weapons."

"Major, there's nothing I can do. Talk to him."

Will looked over and saw Galloway getting out of the passenger's side.

"Your NEST team is deactivated, Major. You are to cease anti-decepticon operations and return to Diego Garcia Pending further orders."

"No, we take our orders directly from Chairman Morshower, sir."

Well, I'll see your Chairman of joint Chiefs of Staff and I will raise you a President of the United States. I have operational command now. An alien blood feud has been brought to our shores for which our soldiers are paying the price. The secret is OUT! This is our war now and we will win as we always have. With a coordinated military strategy."

"This fool is terribly misinformed." Ratchet grumbled.

"You're gonna need every asset that you've got." Will stated.

"What we need is to draw up battle plans while we explore every possible diplomatic solution." Galloway told WIll.

"Like what, handing over the kids?"

"All options are being considered for the boy."

"What about Matsuri?"

"She's US government property that's essentially a decepticon herself because of whose metal is in her. When we capture her, we will decide and if she gets to dangerous, we'll deactivated her."

Will's body tensed as he stared at Galloway. There was no way that the government would...

An enraged snarl came from Ironhide as he took a step forward but was stop by Ratchet wrapping his arms around the black mech from behind, purring to calm his enraged mate down.

Galloway glanced in their direction in what looked like to be disgust before walking towards the hummer.

"Whatever the decepticons are after, this is just the start." the soldier from before stated.

"There is no negotiating with them." Will tried to reason.

"I'm ordering you to stand down." Galloway ripped the patch from Will's uniform. "You won't be needing this anymore. Get your assets back to base! And take that pile of scrap metal back to Diego Garcia. Let's go!"

"I really don't like that dude. He's an asshole." Robert stated.

"You alright, Ironhide?" asked Will as he looked over to his guardian.

"If he dares lay a single finger on her..." Ironhide growled.

"Calm down." Ratchet ordered gently, still holding him. "Being rash and try to kill that human will not help us or Matsuri."

"She'll be fine." Sideswipe piped up. "She's tough."

Matsuri sat in an old abandoned car, looking out through the windshield and at the wall. She could hear the others talking but she wasn't paying attention. She fingered her autobot pendant on her necklace before looking at her mechanical arm. She swallowed, wondering if she could go and buy Sam some time to figure things out. Maybe...

"'Suri?"

She looked and saw Sam crouching outside of the driver's side opening. "Yeah?"

"We have a plan now. We must go and find someone. Apparently, we have to leave right now." Sam told her before gently grabbing her and tugging her out of the car before ushering her over to Bumblebee. "Sit in the back with Mikaela."

Matsuri did as she was told before Sam got in the driver's side. As Bumblebee began to drive, Matsuri stared at the back of the seat in front of her until she felt Mikaela's hand taking off her beanie and began to run her fingers through the other's hair soothingly.

Matsuri felt her eyes began to droop and before she knew it, she was leaning against Mikaela, slowly falling asleep.
