Previously on Nova Prime and the fallen:
"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.
And now our story continues…...
As they drove across the sand, Nova sat in the driver's seat of her altmode with Mikaela next to her and the comm-link open. She heard Simmons start to talk and sighed. "So this is what my CIA contact says. Ancient Samarians used to call the gulf of agaba the "Dagger's Tip" its part of the red sea. It divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east, Here it is" he said and Nova opened a panel on the dashboard to show a GPS map of those coordinates. "Wow, that's so cool" Mikaela said and Nova smiled. "Yeah, Ratchet made some serious upgrades a couple months ago to my altmode and my GPS system." Nova said. "Okay, the first thing we need to do is get Optimus to the dagger's tip." Sam said. "How are you gonna get him halfway across the world?" Leo asks from Bee's altmode. "I think I can help with that" Nova said and the others murmured to themselves. She closed the GPS and opened another frequency on her commlink that was secure and had 3 levels of passcodes and an eyeball scanner.
"This is Alpha Prime requesting communication with Red leader." She said and the comm-link buzzed. "Red Leader here, what's up Alpha?" he asked. "We need the truck at the following coordinates. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east, Copy?" she asked. "Copy alpha, Red leader out" he said and the comm fizzed out. "Okay Sam, were all set." She said and heard sirens behind them. "Cops, oh how I hate them so" she said and Mikaela looked freaked out a bit. The bots were going to take one road but swerved onto another road. She could faintly hear the panicking voice of Leo saying, "I can't go to prison guys" and she laughed. "Sam, we got to get off this road and lay low." Simmons said and one of the cars crashed into a tomato stand. "Man, that's gonna stain" Nova said driving behind the yellow Camaro.
They found an alley and Mikaela found some clothes on a line to disguise herself in. Nova accessed the internet and downloaded an ordinary Arab outfit. The bots, in their bipedal forms, hung from the side of a building and Skids hit the building from where bee was holding onto his foot. "Stupid cops." He said. "This is what's called blendin in like a ninja" Mud flap said hanging off the building next to them. "Shut up or I'll blend my fist into your face." Skids said. "They're gone" Mikaela said and Sam jumped down. "I gotta make that call to Lennox" Sam said and Nova sighed. "I already took care of that" she said and he nodded. Suddenly a person comes running up and Nova steps in front of Sam. "It's me Leo, we got cops coming. We gotta go!" he said and everyone piled into the cars.
Base
A man walks off of a plane with soldiers running around. "Coordinates 29.5 North, 34.88 east, tip of the red sea, Gulf of Agaba" he said handing a paper to Epps. "Egypt, are you serious? Even if we could figure out a way to get big man over there, how's this little kid gonna bring him back to life?" Epps asked.
"Look, I don't know, but we gotta trust Nova and Sam. They know what they're doing. Besides, Nova would jump at the chance to bring him back" Lennox said and they started planning.
Egypt
"Okay, let's go over it again; When Dawn alight's the dagger's tip, three kings will reveal the doorway." Sam said. "That's what he said. Know what it means?" Simmons asked and Sam shrugged his shoulders. Nova decided to ride with them and brought Mikaela along. Right now Sam was "driving" Simmons was in the passenger seat, Mikaela, Leo and Nova were in the back. It was surprisingly roomy in the back of Bee's altmode and she spotted a check point. "Guys, checkpoint, checkpoint, I don't have my passport, I don't have my passport" Leo said freaking out and Nova rolled her eyes while shaking her head. "Passport!" the little man said from the watch tower and Sam looked up. "Guys, they have cameras. Nova, get down so they don't see you" Sam said looking straight out the windshield. "No way, I can talk to these people." She said and they looked at her. "What part of "I'm a walking computer" did you not understand?" she asked and took a minute to access the language app in her CPU. She found the Arab language and cleared her throat. (Imagine this in Arabic, my computer was freaking out.) "Hi, were going to the dagger's tip in Jordan. This is my family, were tourists from New York." Nova said and the group looked at her funny. "New York! Fifty kilometers" the guy said and Bee drove through with all the cars going behind them. She could faintly hear the guard yelling "Go Yankees" and she started laughing. She switched the language back to English and Sam snickered.
She could hear plane engines overhead and swore in Cybertronian under her breath. "Guys, I'll be right back" she said and the holoform flickered off. The people in the Camaro shouted in surprise and looked out the back window to see the Lamborghini swerving to the right and firing off a few rounds at the plane over head from the roof. "Wow, she's combat ready" Simmons said and Sam nodded. "She always is" he said and they kept driving.
They got to one of the pyramids and Nova joined them shortly after. Bee turned to her and sighed with relief. "Are you okay?" he asked in his British voice. "I'll be fine. I don't know about Star scream though. Blew out a big hole in his wing." She said and transformed down. Bee followed suit and they walked into the building together.
N.E.S.T C-17-6 HOURS OUT
That night
Nova sat on an abandoned bed. Bee walked over with water bottles and sat next to her. "Hey beautiful, what's on your mind?" he asked handing her a bottle. "Just all the innocent lives that could be lost because of us" Nova said looking at her bottle. "No one is going to die Nova. Ya know why?" he asked holding her chin and turning her head to face him. "Why?" she asked. "Because the Autobots will make sure of it." He said.
"Oh, like how we "made sure of it" in mission city, It took them a full year and a half to even clean up the mess WE made. I was there when they delivered all the death tolls to Dad. I could feel his spark aching for all those families who lost people they loved, people who lost their homes and their lively hoods. We need to figure out a way to prevent the loss of life. Autobot or Human" She said and walked up to the window overlooking the night sky of the Egyptian desert. Bee got up and wrapped his arms around her waist while kissing her head. "We'll figure something out. Don't worry about it Nova Star." He said and she sighed. "Thanks. I need to sleep so I can be battle ready for tomorrow." She said and he picked her up bridal style while she squealed. "Shh, don't wake everyone up" Bee said and she giggled. He dropped her on the bed and dust flew everywhere. "Ugh, moment killer" she said and he smiled. "I don't think so" he said and his lips crashed onto hers. They kissed for a little bit until they decided to get some sleep.
The sun was just rising over the pyramids when Sam bust into the room. "Nova, wake up" he shouted and she jolted awake while smacking Bee in the chest. "Ow, that's one way to wake up" he said sitting up and rubbing his chest. "Big baby, besides, you can blame Sam for scaring me" she said and got her shoes on.
They all walked outside while Nova rubbed her eyes and saw three stars in perfect alignment with the pyramids.
"Remember in astronomy class, page 47, remember that?" Sam asked. "No I was only in college for 2 days remember that?" Leo asked while Simmons looked at Nova and Bee holding hands with a raised eyebrow. "Do you see those three stars? Do you see how the last one touches the horizon? That's Orion's belt, also known as the three kings. The reason for that is that the three Egyptian kings who built the pyramids of Giza built them to mirror the stars. So it's like an arrow staring us straight in the face." Sam said. "They all point due east, towards Jordan, the mountains of Petra." Simmons said. "Okay, here's the plan, Sam and Mikaela you ride with Skids, Simmons and Leo, you're with Mud-flap. I'm with bee, any questions?" Nova asked and Sam shook his head. "No, that's my car…" "But it's my boyfriend" she said and Sam got this disgusted look on his face. "That is beyond weird" he said and got inside his assigned vehicle.
N.E.S.T C-17
Galloway was sitting on a bench reading a packet about something while looking nervous or air sick, no one can tell. All of a sudden the pilot says; "Were having an engine malfunction, were gonna have to divert to SOCCENT. Flight master, let's lighten the load and prepare for bailout." He said and Galloway looked around nervously. "Bailout? Bailout? Bailout? Bailout?" Galloway asked. "Alright team grab your chutes." Lennox said standing up. "Bailout, like bailout?" he asked "You familiar with the standard MC-4?" Lennox asked Galloway while helping him into a parachute. "Of course not, I've never ever jumped out of a perfectly good airplane before. Wait a minute is this really happening?" he asked while Lennox spun him around and strapped him in. "Wait a minute, wait a minute, your behind this aren't you?" Galloway asked. "What are you talking about, you heard the pilot these guys don't mess around. This is just standard procedure. I'm just following orders to the letter, isn't that what you said?" Lennox asked tightening a strap and Galloway cringed in pain. "You, just signed a death warrant on your career major." He said and the plane started to shake. "What was that? What was that?" he asked. "Oh, that's not good. Come on, right this way." Lennox said while Galloway complained about never jumping out of an airplane. The ramp lowered and Galloway looked at Lennox.
"Why aren't you wearing your chute?" he asked. "Because I have to secure all the VIP's first. Okay, I want you to listen very carefully and memorize everything I say. Each chute has a GPS tracker so you can be found by search and rescue. Right next to that is a fabric webbing called a bridle which holds the pin that keeps the main container closed. Are you listening?" he asked and Galloway couldn't hear a word. "Stop that" he said and smacked him for freaking out.
(A.N. You know you guys enjoyed that part)
"Alright, when the pilot chute inflates in to the air, it pulls the pin and opens the main. Red's your back up, blue's your primary. I want you to pull the blue; I want you to pull it really hard. (Galloway pulls the pin) not right now, were still on the plane you dumb-aft." He said and watched the director of N.E.S.T fly away. Lennox walked back to where Epps was standing and tucked his shirt back in. "He say goodbye?" Epps asked. "No, didn't even say goodbye. I just wish Nova was here to see this. She would have been recording the whole thing." Lennox said. "Who says no one did?" Epps asked and held up a camcorder. They highfived and closed the ramp.
Egypt
Bee and Nova trailed behind a little because of the rocky terrain but the twins had no problem traversing the rocky land. "Why is it so much easier for smaller bots to climb on rocks and so hard on us?" Nova asked as she swung her legs over a rock. "Because were using our holoforms that's why" Bee said catching her by the waist. She smiled and the form flickered out. Her bipedal form walked up and Bee did the same. They walked further and everyone was staring at the huge doorway. "There is no way Egyptians built that" Nova said and they went inside. Bee and Nova looked like dwarf bots in comparison to the massive structure. "Some bot Optimus' size or bigger must have built this" she said looking at the ceiling. "It's here somewhere guys" Sam said looking around. "Oh really? Cause were trusting grandpa black bird who doesn't even know what planet he's on?" Leo asked and Nova kneeled down to him. "I would watch how you talk. The elders are highly respected on Cybertron and it's like insulting our race when you talk like that." Nova said and Leo rolled his eyes. "don't roll your eyes at me Spitz, say yes mam or don't talk" she growled and Leo gulped. "Yes mam" he said and ran away
"In his defense, that is the largest doorway I've ever seen in my entire life." Simmons said and Bee looked at it. "Oh, okay, let me do a quick search alright, (Leo looks around the room) uh, nope, ever cross your minds guys that archeologists have been here before? There's nothing here" Leo said. "Real life is heart break, despair kid. Sometimes you get to the end of the rainbow and the leprechauns have gone and booby trapped it." Simmons said. "I'm listening to you and you live with your mother" Leo said and Nova looked up from her spot on the wall, "It's not over" she said and walked over to Sam. "Move" she said and he scrambled out of the way. She transformed her hand into a cannon and shot the spot he was just sitting in. when the dust settled, there laid the tomb of the primes. She transformed down and produced a small tube shaped container from her bag that just appeared. "Nova, what are you doing?" Sam asked. She walked in the tomb with her Holoform while recording the experience and saw a small silver object. "There it is" she said and carefully picked it up. She slid it into the case and closed it while pressurizing the container. "I had a feeling that it was back here so I made a small container that would pressurize the matrix enough to where it didn't fall apart." Nova said and held up the container for everyone to see. They walked outside to see the twins lying on the ground in pain.
"Bee, what did you do?" she asked. "I knocked their heads together and threw them out because they were gonna step on them." Bee said and she nodded. "Good idea. Autobots, let's roll out" she said and they all looked at something in the sky. "I thought I just gave you a command." She said. "You did, but we didn't listen." Skids said and she rolled her optics. "What are you looking at anyways?" Nova asked and they all went to a hill to see two C-17 cargo planes off in the distance and waved. One of them dropped a large figure with a bunch of little soldiers with it. "There he is." Nova said with an aching feeling in her spark. "Don't worry Nova. You and Sam can bring him back" Bee said and they set out.
Drop site
Optimus landed with the help of the parachutes while Lennox was giving orders to his team. Snipers and stingers were up high while the infantry was on the ground. "We just dropped off 10 tons of dead robot in the middle of nowhere. I hope this little kid and Nova knows what they're doing" Epps said looking through his scope. "Yeah me too" Lennox said. It was a few minutes before someone spotted them. "Got a visual. Yellow team, four clicks!" one soldier announced and Lennox looked. "Pop flare!" he yelled and someone popped a flare.
With Nova and Sam
"See the flare? There they are, let's go Bee" Nova said and they drove faster. They heard missiles behind them and Nova groaned. "Again, really?" she asked and disappeared. "Nova, stop doing that!" Leo said and they heard a laugh from the radio.
Leo stared freaking out and Simmons reached back and tased him. "Can't take that guy anymore" Simmons said while putting the taser back in its holster. Bee had to avoid missiles when Star scream landed with Nova perched on top like a surfer. She was hitting him and was about to rip his wing off when she was thrown off. She transformed and drove off after Bee and the others. They hid in the dust and everyone got out. "Everyone split up. Bee you be the decoy while Nova and I get to Optimus" Sam said. "I'll help draw their fire with Hewey and Dewey there. You get to those soldiers, I hope it works kid" Simmons said and Nova walked up with a canister in her hand. "Guys, the matrix fell apart" she said holding it up while seeing a large crack. "Don't worry. We're going to get It to Optimus." Sam said and they ran with Mikaela in tow.
What's gonna happen now? Well you fans out there should know. See you soon!
