And were back! Sorry about the wait. It's been crazy with school and my self-esteem has taken a hit due to my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR ME, but I really have a problem concentrating on one thing at a time. I hope this helps quench your thirst for Transformers action!
The two girls came back into the room and Mikaela hefted a metal box on the table. "Let me out!" said a little voice inside the box and Nova looked at her funny. "What are you hiding?" she asked. "This might be a little sad" Mikaela said and she opened the box to see silver and blue bot jump out attached to a chain.
"I will have so many Decepticons on your butt" he said. Mikaela held up a small blow torch and pointed at him. "Hey, behave!" she said. "What, is that a freakin Decepticon! Mikaela you're crazy!" Nova said backing up. "And you're training him?" Sam asked. "I'm trying to" she said as the bot pulled at the chain. "All my adult life I was combing the planet for aliens and you carry one around in your purse like a Chihuahua" Simmons said and the bot turned around. "Wanna throw down you pubic fro head" the bot threatened while Nova laughed. "What are you laughing at?" he asked and Nova hid her smile with her hands. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry about your eye, ya know if you're a good boy then I won't torch your other eye, I won't torch it, just tell us what these symbols mean. Please?" she asked and he looked down. "I know that, that's the language of the primes" he said standing back up. "I don't read it, but these guys…where the frick did you find photos of these guys?" he asked as Sam held up pictures. "Is this them?" Sam asked. "Yeah, seekers pal, oldest of the old. Oh they've been here for thousands of years lookin for something…I don't know what, nobody tells me nothing. But they'll translate those symbols for you. and I know where to find them" he said and Nova looked over shocked. "Really?" she asked skeptical and the small bot nodded. He pointed several green laser lights at the map on the wall and she analyzed it. "The closest one is in Washington" she said and smiled. "Looks like we're going to a museum!" she said excited and Sam raised an eyebrow at her. "What? I like museums" she said and they climbed up the ladder.
Outside
"Let me talk to bee first. He's not going to take this well" she said and she saw Simmons walked ahead. "No time for that" he said and suddenly he was on his butt. "Simmons" Bee said with his sunglasses on. "Who is this?" he asked standing up holding his nose. "That would be my boyfriend. Bee, it's Simmons. Simmons, this is Bumblebee's Holoform" Nova said and Bee looked at her funny. "Boyfriend huh?" he asked with a smile and she blushed. "I'll talk about it later" she said and everyone climbed in Bee's altmode while Nova drove her own.
Bee's altmode
"So what's the deal with your sister?" Simmons asked and Sam groaned. "Is it really any of your business?" Sam asked and Leo looked at him funny. "So what is up with your sister?" Spitz asked. "She's the daughter of an important dignitary and she can kick your butt in a heartbeat. Don't mess with her, both of you" Bee said and looking at Leo and Simmons, mostly Simmons though. "Bee, leave them alone" Nova said through the radio and she revved her engine behind him. "Wheelie, get off the dashboard! I can't see anything!" she yelled and they all looked back to see Wheelie lounging on the dash board. "Someone is going to see you!" she exclaimed and pushed him down into the car.
Washington-Smithsonian Air and Space Museum
Bee, the twins and Nova drove up while the building came into view. Nova got out and leaned on her car door. "Wow, that is amazing" she said with her sunglasses on. "It's nothing compared to museums on Cybertron" Wheelie said and she smiled at him, "What was it like before the war?" she asked and he shrugged his shoulders. "I can't remember" he said and she nodded. Nova was invited over after Simmons had put his pants back on (shudders) Simmons hands her a taser. "Oh, there's really no need" she said and pulled up her shirt a little to reveal a small gun and a taser on her belt.
"Wow, your serious" Sam said and she nodded.
They headed into the museum and Leo went to the bathroom and made his distraction while they snuck through the air and space area and hid in the planes. After closing they came out and started hunting down the seeker. "Okay, so, what's the plan?" Nova asked walked around the planes holding a radiation scanner that Simmons gave her. "We need to find the seeker and ask for his help." Wheelie said and Nova rolled her eyes. "Well duh" she said and the little bot rolled through excited. "I found him" he said and Nova could feel this buzzing going off in her head and ran behind him. Everyone followed them and saw Sam with the shard. "He knows something! He knows something!" Mikaela said as they ran by a blackbird. "There he is, this guy's a legend, like chairman of the board. Yo freshman, point the shard and watch the magic happen" Wheelie said and Sam pointed it to the plane. It magnetized to it and sent a pulse of energy around it. Nova went under it and saw a Decepticon logo. "Guys, it's a Decepticon!" she shouted and they all ran behind something. Nova stood behind a lunar pod while watching in awe of what was happening. "Wow, he must be really old" Nova said to herself. Once he finished transforming and pushed a piece away from his eyes, he shouted. "What kind of hideous mausoleum is this?" the jet asked. "Answer me pawns and knaves! Show yourselves or suffer my infinite wrath! You little spinal cord based organisms." He said. "Technically I'm not one of them" Nova said raising her hand and Sam glared at her. "What, it's true" Nova said and looked up. One of the pods hanging from the ceiling hit him in the face and he swatted it away while it landed on the floor and rolled around. "Behold, the eternal glory of Jet fire!" he shouted. "Prepare for remote systems override."
"I tell ya, this guy did not age well" Wheelie said and Nova noticed his eye was messed up. "Wheelie, come here" she said and kneeled down in front of him. She put her hand on his eye and focused some of the left over alspark energy into healing his eye. The circuits formed back together and so did the optic glass. She removed her hand and Wheelie gasped. "Wow, I can see again" he said and hugged Nova's leg. "Thanks Wheelie." She said and he rolled off to catch up with the group.
They all went outside where all the C-17's and cargo planes were. "Itchy wretched rust in my arse" Jet fire said walking away. "Oh the museum is not going to like this" Nova said running to catch up after seeing the doors ripped off.
Suddenly she heard engines and the bots, along with her altmode, drove up. She disappeared from the group and the Lamborghini sped in front of bee.
They all circled the group as Sam and the others were trying to get Jet fire to settle down. She transformed and everyone looked up in shock. All the bots transformed beside her and Sam yelled.
"Look we just wanna talk!" "I have no time to talk, I'm a mercenary doom bringer, what planet am I on?" he asked. "Earth" Sam said. "Earth? Terrible name for a planet, might as well call it "Dirt" Planet "Dirt" Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on, who's winning?" Jet fire asked. "The Decepticons" Nova said crossing her arms. He spit and looked disgusted. "Well I changed sides to the Autobots." Jet fire said. "What do you mean changed sides?" Sam asked. "It's an intensely personal decision Sam. All bots pick what side. There are very few neutrals out there" Nova said and they all looked back at Jet fire. "Exactly, who wants to live a life full of hate?" Jet fire asked.
"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freakin Decepticons?" Wheelie asked. "If the Decepticons had their way, they'd destroy the whole universe." Jet fire said. Then wheelie started to climb on Mikaela's leg, Nova was trying not to laugh. "What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked. "At least he's faithful Sam" Mikaela said and Nova smiled. "Ya well he's faithful, he's nude and he's perverted."
Sam said and then he kicked him off of her leg. "What were you saying?" Sam asked Jet fire. "I told you my name was Jet fire, stop judging me!" he shouted and they all toppled over when he slammed his staff down. "I have issues of my own, and it started with my mother!" he said and Nova giggled while Bee shushed her. "My ancestors have been here for centuries. My father, he was a wheel, the first wheel. You know what he transformed into, nothing!" he shouted. "But he did so with Honor, dignity damn it" he said and his parachute activated. He fell backward and dropped his cane. Nova bent over, picked it up and walked over. "My boosters are fried" he said. "I think we can help each other. You know things I don't know, I know things you don't know" "I don't think he knows anything, honestly I don't" Leo said and Nova smiled.
With no time to spare, Sam started carving the symbols in the sand with a dagger that Nova gave him. "I could do this all day; it comes in waves, these vivid symbols. Their symbols but they are in my mind. You all this (turns in circles) this is in my mind, and Megatron wants what is on my mind. Him and someone called the fallen" Sam said. "The fallen, I know him! He left me here to rust; the original Decepticon. He's terrible to work for, always apocalypse, chaos, and crisis. These transcriptions, they were a part of my mission, the fallen's search. I remember now, the dagger's tip, and the key!"
"Slow down old timer, the dagger's tip, the key, I don't know what you're talking about" Nova said. "No time to explain, stay still or you'll die" he shouted and he huddled around the humans while everyone was surrounded by a blue light that felt like electricity going through her.
Egypt
Everyone appeared out of thin air in a mountain range with lots of sand. Simmons rolled down a sand dune, Jet fire landed in a rocky alcove. "Well that wasn't so bad" Jet fire said. "I just hope were still on the same planet" he said while Wheelie bounced off of him and landed in front of him. "Hey, that freaking hurt!" he yelled and Nova landed on bee after he landed.
With bee
Bee and Nova laid there a minute and Nova moved. "Man that hurt. You okay Bumblebee?" she asked and he was face down in the sand mumbling. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you" she said with a smirk.
-help me out of here. There's sand where it shouldn't be- he said over Comm and she lifted him out of the sand. They walked and joined the others while Simmons was complaining to Jet fire. "That really hurt, you're just lucky I didn't get hurt" he said and Nova picked him up. "Suck it up Simmons" she said and put him on the rock with the others. "I told you I was opening up a space bridge; it's the fastest way to get to Egypt." Jet fire said and Nova looked around. "Wow, cool" she said activating her GPS. "When did you…..when did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything, why are we in Egypt?" "Don't get snippy with me fleshling, you were duly informed!" Jet fire said while sitting down. "Can we stop just a second, can you focus? Can you tell us why were in Egypt so we can have a little bit of semblance of peace of mind?" Sam asked. "This planet was visited by our race before, by our earliest ancestor's 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. Do you know what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?" Jet fire asked. "No, but next time I see Ratchet I'll ask him" Nova said with a smile and the other bots snickered.
"Let's not get episodic, okay old timer? Beginning, middle, end, Facts, details, condense, plot, and tell it!" Simmons said punctuating each word with his hands. "Somewhere in this desert our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests energon, by destroying suns" Jet fire said pointing up. "Destroy suns? As in blow them up?" Sam asked and he nodded. "Yes, you see in the beginning there were seven primes, our original leaders, and they set out in the universe searching for suns to harvest. The primes set out with one rule, never destroy a planet with life" he said and Nova got an Eire feeling. "Until one of them tried to defy this rule. And his name forevermore was the fallen." Jet fire said and she groaned. "Not again" she said and Bee looked at her funny. Jet fire showed a hologram from his hand and it showed a picture of the fallen.
"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 it, 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 dessert, 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." Jet fire said. "Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked. "Only a prime can defeat the fallen" Jet fire said and Sam looked at Nova. "Like Optimus Prime?" Sam asked and he kneeled down. "So you've met a prime? You must have met a great descendent. Is he still alive, on this planet?" Jet fire asked. "He sacrificed himself to save me, and Nova" Sam said and the firebird looked at Nova. She had his colors and the prime symbols on her ears. "You are a prime?" he asked. "Optimus was my creator. My carrier is still out there somewhere. But no, I'm only one by relation." She said looking at her feet and Bee put a hand on her shoulder.
"No one but a prime can stop the fallen." Jet fire said. "So if the same energy that's going to be used to reactivate the machine; can that energy somehow be used to reactivate Optimus and bring him back to life?" Sam asked. "It was never designed for that purpose, but it's an energy like no other." Jet fire said. "So how do you get us to the matrix before the Decepticons get to me?" Sam asked. "Follow your mind, your map, your symbols. 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!" he said and Nova smiled. "Someone's pushy" she said. "That was my mission, it's your mission now, go before the Decepticons find me, and find you!" he said and they all ran off.
