Chapter 8: unfinished mission

Here I am looking at Shelby who was putting my arm in bandages.

Shelby: There you go.

Ace: Ow...Thanks.

Shelby: If Optimus saw this he would have probably gone in full protective mode

Ace: Right...

You may be wonder how did I hurt my poor innocent arm.

Flashback

Jetfire teleported us who knows where and I was high up In the air and let out a scream.

Ace: AH! THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH!

Bumblebee grabbed me and pulled me towards him. Once we made it to the ground we both groaned in pain.

Ace: Oh fuck.

Bee: You okay, little lady?

Ace: Maybe in a few days I will be *Groans*

He gently put me down and I started to look around and saw Sam. I felt a burning sensation on my arm. When I looked it was pretty gross, there was a bit of steam coming out of it. My muscle tissue was showing, it was very disgusting.

End of Flashback

Now here we are looking at Jetfire all annoyed and angry.

Simmons: That really, really hurt. You're just lucky that I didn't get hurt!

Ace: You didn't! But I did!

Simmons: People could have gotten killed, okay And if I would have gotten hurt, you would have heard-

Jetfire got annoyed with him and got all over his face

Jetfire: Shut up. I told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt.

Sam:When did you... When did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything.

Ace: Yeah! You didn't tell us anything. Why are we in Egypt?

Shelby: And what the fuck is a Space bridge?!?

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

Shelby: Don't scream at me! Bitch...

Bumblebee gently grabbed her and took her with him so she wouldn't create more chaos.

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

Jetfire: This planet was visited by our race once before, 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! Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?

Ace: Okay, calm down dude.

Simmons:Let's not get episodic, okay, old-timer? Beginning, middle, end. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it.

I started to look through my bag and grabbed a book and pen to take notes. It may sound stupid but it can help us out.

Jetfire: Somewhere buried in this desert,our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns.

Sam: Destroy suns?

Leo: You mean blow them up?

Ace: HUH?!?

Jetfire: Yes. You see, in the beginning, 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.

Ace: So he was a Prime...

He started to show us a hologram of the Fallen and let me say that dude did not look good at all he had a big as head.

Jetfire: Yes, 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.

Ace: (Matrix of Leadership...)


Jetfire: 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.

Ace: (Of course no one can't find it...it wouldn't be a adventure without it.)

Jetfire: 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.

Sam: Okay, so how do we stop him?

Jetfire: Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen.

Ace: Optimus Prime?

Jetfire got all happy hearing his name.

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

Sam: He sacrificed himself to save me and to protect Ace...

I looked at the ground not wanting to cry once again.

Jetfire: So, he's dead. Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could stop the Fallen.

Sam: 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?

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

Ace: Are you saying we can actually get Optimus back! *Smiles*

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

Jetfire: Follow your mind, your map, your symbols. What you carved in the sand, it's your clue. When dawn lights the Dagger's Tip, Three Kings will reveal the doorway! Find the doorway! Go now! Go!

He started to wave us away and we started to club down the rocks.

Jetfire: That was my mission. It's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you.
————————
I was so happy and couldn't stop bouncing around. But my happiness stopped when cops started to follow us. We finally got rid of them and Simmons started to make a phone call.

Simmons: Okay girly what's the number.

I gave him my notebook and started to dial it. He started to read my notes and looked at me.

Simmons: You really want that truck back don't you.

Ace: More than you will ever know.

He then started to shush me and I rolled my eyes at him.

Simmons. Lennox, I'm with the kid. The kid. You know, the one with the attitude, right? Also your sister the one that looks depressed all the time.

Ace: (Bitch-)

Simmons: We need the truck. The truck. 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 $1 bill. Coordinates for airdrop, 29.5 north, 34.88 east. Write it down. Write it.

We saw a guy running towards us looking all scared.

Simmons: Oh, my God. I got to go. Okay. Heat comes.

The telephone booth ended up falling and I just started at it and hoped Will got the coordinates.

Shelby: Wait, who are you?

Leo: Wait. It's me. Leo. Me. Leo. Leo. Leo. Cops are coming right now. We need to go!

We started to run once again, it's like running is the only thing we do.

Simmons: Move, move, move, move.

———————————

After that awkward checkpoint conversation we started to climb this building. Well more like Bee started to climb. Shelby and I were grabbing on to him and he got up.

Skids: Undercover, yo. You got to blend in with your surroundings. You know, you got to be part of the landscape.

Skids ran straight into Bee's leg and I started to laugh a bit. I told Bee to put me down and he did so. I followed Sam

Sam: Come break this door down

Ace: Sam I'm a soldier not human with super strength.

Sam: So you can't break it down?

I looked at him and then kicked the door. It opened in a instant.

Sam: Okay...never getting on your bad side...

I went inside to check out the place, it was huge. Bee, Skids, Mudflap and Shelby stayed outside to guard us.

Ace: Okay let's see what we can do here.
