Chapter 11: The Tomb of the Primes


In the C-17, Lennox, Epps, their NEST Team, John and the Justice League are waiting while Galloway reads a book. Then there was a rumbling on the plane. John looks at Lennox who smirks knowing they've planned to get rid of Galloway.

"We've had an engine malfunction." The NEST pilot informed the passengers, "We're gonna have to divert to SOCCENT. Flight master, let's lighten the load and prepare to bail out."

"Engine mal- Bailout? Bailout? Bailout? Bailout?" Galloway asked in confusion.

"All right, team, grab your chutes!" Lennox shouts to his men.

"Heroes, prepare to bailout!" John spoke to the League.

They grab their parachutes and await further orders. Galloway was worried about this.

"Bailout, like, like bailout?" He asked.

"You familiar with the standard MC-4?" Lennox asked the director.

"Of course not!" Galloway replied, "I've never jumped out a perfectly good airplane before! Wait a minute, is this really happening?"

"Yeah. All right, here we go." Lennox replied.

He puts a parachute on Galloway.

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're behind this, aren't you?" Galloway asked.

"What are you talking about? You heard the pilot. These guys don't mess around. This is a standard procedure. I'm just following orders to the letter." He tightens the bag which made Galloway winched from the tightness. "Isn't that what you said?"

" You just signed your death warrant on your career Major... Whoa!" Then there was a rumbling again and this time the plane turns right. "What was that? What was that?"

Lennox smiles along with John who winks back, "Oh, that's not good. Right this way!" He leads Galloway to the bay door as it opens. Wind blows into the plane and also from the loud noise from the engines.

"I-I- I can't jump out of an airplane! I have an ulcer! No, no, no-" He said with fear.

"Come on. It's okay." Lennox said to him.

"We're here for you." John said. He winks at Lennox and the major nods before the cargo bay doors opens.

"I really can't do this. What are you doing-[muffled out by the engine roaring]" Galloway said.
"Come here! Come here." Lennox said as he leads to the edge.

"Why aren't you wearing your chute?!" Galloway asked.

"Because I have to secure the VIPs first!" Lennox said, "Okay, I want to listen to me very carefully and memorize everything I say. Each chute has a GPS tracker so you can be found by search & rescue. Right next to that's a fabric webbing called a bridle, which holds the pin that keeps the main container closed. Okay, are you listening?"

"I- I can't hear what..."

Lennox slaps Galloway, "Stop that!"

"All right. All right."

"You're going to be fine, Galloway. Just listen carefully." John said.

"All right, when the pilot chute inflates into the air, it pulls the pin and opens the main. Red's your backup, blue's your primary. I want you to pull the blue. I want to pull it really hard!" Lennox shouts. Galloway pulls the pin and his chute is opened, "Not now, we're on the plane, you dumbass!"

"What?" Galloway screams as he gets pulled out of the plane. John laughs and he and Lennox high five. They go to Epps.

"He say goodbye?" Epps asked.

"No, he didn't even say goodbye." Lennox replied.

"Galloway has left the building!" Nate shouts.

"Hell yeah!" Mick high fives Nate.

"That's for dissolving us, bitch." John said before turning away.

At the Pentagon...

An officer approaches Morshower, "General, we're loaded and ready. You give us the go, and we'll be ready in five minutes."

"Sir, you need to see this now." The officer gives Morshower the file.

"Have we checked these coordinates?"

"Egypt, sir. They're airdropping in."

"You got to be kidding me. He knows something. We need to be ready to back him up if this thing goes hot."

"Copy that. CIA just got a hit on the boy, a hundred miles from the location on that little note there."

"It's getting hotter."

[Meanwhile...]

At the mountains of Petra, the heroes head for the structures that look like houses.

"Got to be around here somewhere. I-" Simmons said.

"There it is." Sara pointing at it.

"You see the size of this? You see this? Huh?" Simmons asked.

"Spec-tacular." Skids commented.

"Amazing. Look at that."

"If Iris was here, she would be amazed about this." Barry said.

"Why am I getting a Indiana Jones vibe here?" Cisco said

"It's here somewhere, guys." Sam said.

They look around to find the location of the tomb.

"Yeah, why? 'Cause, uh, we're trusting a grandpa blackbird who doesn't even know what planet he's on?" Leo asked.

"In his defense, this is the biggest doorway I've ever seen in my entire life." Simmons replied.

"Big enough for a Cybertronian." Oliver said.

"Oh. Okay. Well, that's great. Let me do a quick search, all right?" Leo looks around, "Uh... Nope. Ever cross your mind, guys, those archaeologists have been here before? There's nothing here."

"Real life is heartbreak, despair, kid. Sometimes you get to the end of the rainbow and the leprechauns went and booby-trapped it!" Simmons argued.

"Why am I listening to you? You live with your mother!" Leo argued back.

"It's not over." Sam said to Leo.

"There's still time, Leo!" Kara said to him.

"It is over. It's done." Leo said.

"Why are we listening to you, little punk-ass?" Mudflap asked Leo, "I mean, what you ever done for us except ding my rim?"

"Killed Megatron. How about that?" Skids answered.

"Well, he didn't get the job done, you know what I mean, 'cause he's back now, and he's-"

"Are you scared?"

"Scared? Scared of your ugly face!" Mudflap gets into his twin's face.

"I'm ugly? Well, we're twins, you stupid genius!" Skids shoves Mudflap.

"Bring it then-" The Red Autobot gets tackled to the ground by Skids, "Get off me! Now I'll change that face around!" Mudflap charges at Skids but he jumps over him.

"Whooooo!" Skids shouts.

"I'll get all up in that ass!"

"Bring it!"

They fought until Mudflap throws Skids at the wall.

"Guy! Whoa!" Sam shouts as he ducks.

"You like the way that feels?" Mudflap asked.

"Bumblebee, stop them!" Oliver said to Bumblebee.

"That didn't hurt." Skids said to Mudflap.

"Do you like that, don't you? I'm getting up-" Mudflap said.

Bumblebee grabs them and lifts them in the air.

"Oh, come on, Bumblebee." Skids said to him.

"Bumblebee, listen." Mudflap said.

Bee slams them into each other and throws them outside.

"Now that's rude." Skids said.

Sam sees a hole in the wall, "Oh my God." Kara grabs  the chunks from the wall and sees the symbols. "The symbols... Bee! Shoot it."

"Get back!" Oliver said to everyone.

They run for cover. Bumblebee charges his cannon and shoots the wall. The group reaches to the blown wall.

"Wow!" Simmons said in amazement.

"These are the bodies that Jetfire was talking about."

They enter inside the place. They use flashlights to see in the dark. They look around the tomb in awe.

"The tomb of the Primes." Simmons said.

"Yo! [Echoes] Yo![Echoes]" Leo shouts in the tomb.

Cisco looks down and sees the Matrix, "Sam, look!"

"The Matrix!" Sam said. He goes down to his knee and carefully picks it up, but sadly it dissolves into dust.

"No..." Kara said.

"No no no... Sam said in disbelief.

"Thousands of years turned into dust." Simmons said.

"This isn't how it's supposed to end." Sam said.

They then heard engines from outside.

Hear that? US Air Force! C-17!" Simmons shouts.

"John." Oliver said.

Simmons runs outside to see the planes.

"What's a C-17?" Leo follows Simmons.

You can bring them back, Sam. There's nothing left." Mikaela said.

"Look! Look around you." Sam said standing up, "We we didn't just go through everything we went through for no reason at all, and just have it end like this. There's a reason why we are here. The voices are the symbols in my head led us here for a purpose." He pulls out a sock and begins putting the dust inside, "Everyone is after me because of what I know, and what I know is that this is going to work."

"How do you know it's gonna to work?" Mikaela asked.

"Because I believe it." Sam replied.

"And I believe in it too, Mikaela." Kara said.

In the C-17, the Autobots are transformed into their alt mode. Ironhide is ready for action.

"You best let me out of this player." He said.

"Justice League, roll out!" John shouts to the League.

They begin to jump out of the plane. Optimus was tossed from the plane. He is helped by John and Ray.

"Dropping the big boy. Sam! You think you can bring him back to life with that pixie dust?" Simmons asked.

"Absolutely. Let's go." Sam said.

The group races to the extraction point where Optimus is dropped off, but they have to move quickly because the Decepticons are on their way.
