Soon, everyone was racing across the Egyptian desert roads; (YN) with Simmons, Mikaela, Leo, Wheelie in Bumblebee, while Jake and Vanessa were in Elita One. Cliffjumper and the Twins were just behind them as well, as they raced along.

Simmons: "Okay, here's what my CIA contact says." He spoke to (YN), after having been on the phone for the last ten minutes. "Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the 'Dagger's Tip'." He informed.

(YN): "That's the Dagger's Tip." He deduced, nodding.

Simmons: "It's part of the Red Sea." He stated. "Divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade." He held up some GPS-looking device. "29.5 degrees north, 35 east." He read the coordinates. "Here it is." He handed it to Mikaela - sitting behind him and she and Leo looked at it carefully, before Mikaela handed it back to him.

(YN): "First thing we've got to do is to get word to NEST so they can get Optimus and the other Autobots to the Dagger's Tip." He declared.

Leo: "How are we gonna do that and get him halfway around the world?" He asked (YN). (YN) looked at him in the rear-view mirror.

(YN): "I'm gonna make a call." He replied simply.

The Autobots drove on as fast as they can, but as they do, Elita admired the silhouette of the great pyramids on the horizon.

The peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of wailing sirens ringing loudly a few feet ahead of them, and everyone spotted two Peugeot 405 police cars that were driving rapidly towards them.

(YN): "We got cops!" He shouted, then let go of the wheel. "Take the wheel, Bee!"

Bumblebee accelerated his speed and led the group as they swerved away from the police, forcing them off the road, giving them the advantage of a few seconds, and towards a small village.

Leo: "I can't go to prison guys!" He pleaded in panic.

Bumblebee drove ahead, leading the others as he skidded around a corner on the cobblestone street, dodging people as they went. Bumblebee tried to find a route, or a hiding place that would allow the Autobots to lose the now three police cars.

Simmons: "(YN). We gotta get off this road and lay low." He told (YN).

After a few seconds of driving mindlessly through the village with no luck, (YN) and Bumblebee found a large open area of the village, large enough for five Autobots to hide. Deciding that this was the only possible hiding place, (YN) and Bumblebee drove through the streets, towards the sound of ringing sirens.

Now hidden from view, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper held onto the edge of the roof; Bumblebee was using his other unoccupied hand by wrapping it around Skids' ankle, holding him up and out of sight. Mudflap was doing the same thing as Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, he was using his one of his hands to hold on to the edge of the roof, but one of his feet was lodged on a small ledge in the wall, so he was holding his weight equally between his arm and leg. Elita had stretched her body over the gap, similar to how Optimus did two years ago under a bridge. Mikaela hand wrapped a black burqa around her head, allowing her to hide in plain sight, and act as a lookout, while (YN), Jake, Simmons, Leo, and Vanessa hide behind a wall.

Mudflap: "Man, stupid cops! Ah-ha-ha!" He laughed as the he heard the sirens pass the alley way entrance.

Skids: "This is what's called blending in like a ninja." He decided with a grin.

Mudflap: "Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face." He threatened Skids.

Cliffjumper: "Will you two shut up, or all send you both to the scrapheap!" He snapped quietly.

Mikaela: "They're gone." She whispered, ripping the burqa off her face.

(YN): "Okay, we're running out of time. I gotta make the call to Lennox-" He started to say.

Vanessa: "You're not calling anyone, (YN)!" She hissed at (YN).

Jake: "She's right. You can't do that." He agreed.

Simmons: "They're all right. You're on the Worldwide Wanted List." He stated with a incredulous look on his face. "Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds. CIA is all over this place!" He exclaimed, waving his arm around, motioning to the village they were in.

(YN): "I know. That's why YOU'RE gonna call them." He decided. Simmons turned to look at him and gave him a surprised look.

Mikaela: "That'll work." She noted.

Simmons: "Okay. That's a good idea." He agreed, even though it was obvious that he wasn't thrilled about the plan.

(YN): "Alright." He nodded, ignoring Simmons' obvious distaste for the plan.

Simmons: "I mean, I just had my mind on other things, like winding up in an Egyptian prison." He reasoned sarcastically.

They were off once again, the humans heading to a phone booth. (YN) gave the hand gesture to the Autobots to wait for them at the edge of the village.

Meanwhile in New Jersey, the Autobots were currently in their vehicle modes, all of them wrapped in nylon caging, and they were being loaded up into C-17 Globemasters to take them pack to Diego Garcia, while Stratosphere, Breakaway, Evac, and Springer are in their aircraft modes for tomorrow for flight, under the orders of Director Galloway.

Lennox: "So, we're shipping them back to base." He sighed in disbelief. "This is such a mistake."

Bishop: "A very BIG mistake." She added.

Lennox, Bishop, Reynolds, even Epps then sees the body of Optimus Prime being loaded up into Stratosphere.

Solider: "Major Lennox. Phone call." He called to Lennox, getting his attention, as well as Epps, Reynolds, and Bishop.

|—————————|—————————|

Simmons: "Lennox, I'm with the kid." He said quietly on the phone. "The kid. The one with the bright attitude. We need the truck. THE TRUCK. We've got a possible resurrection going on here. You're not going to believe where we are. Code Tut; as in King Tutankhamen. Back of a one dollar bill." He brought up his GPS device. "Coordinates for airdrop: 29.5 North; 34.88 East. Write it down. Write it." He instructed, then looked up and saw a figure with his face covered with a burqa running up to the group. "Oh my God. I gotta go. Okay. Heats coming." He spoke quickly.

Vanessa: "Wait, who are you?" She now demanded as the figure stopped in front of them, panting. The payphone behind Simmons fell of its hinges with a loud clang.

Leo: "It's me! Leo!" He took off the burqa of his face as the police sirens were heard in the distance. "Cops are coming right now! We need to go!" He put the cover back up and everyone headed off to meet with the Autobots.

(YN): "Okay. We need to move. Now." He announced.

Simmons: "Move, move, move, move!" He ushered the group towards an alleyway.

|—————————|—————————|

Soon, it was nightfall at the military base in New Jersey, as the Autobots were still being loaded up. Lennox, Bishop, Reynolds, and Epps were standing by a nearby parked C-17, as they awaited for where the coordinates point to.

Intelligence Officer: "Coordinates: 29.5 North; 34.88 East." Informed them, handing Lennox the map of where the coordinates locked onto. "Tip of the Red Sea, Gulf of Aqaba."

Bishop: "Egypt. Are you serious?" She asked incredulously.

Lennox, Bishop, Reynolds, and Epps then noticed Galloway standing nearby. They decided to stay quiet about this.

Epps: "Even if we could figure out a way to get the big man over there, how is this little kid's supposed to bring him back to life?" He asked.

Lennox: "I don't know." He replied. "But we gotta trust him."

Bishop: "Me and Reynolds will go tell the team about the plan." She whispered to them, and she and Reynolds headed off to inform the others.

Reynolds: "I don't get it. Why there of all places?" He wondered in confusion.

Bishop: "I don't know." Was all she could say. "Something must be there..."

|—————————|—————————|

Back in Egypt, the Autobots were once again driving down a long stretch of road, their human friends and allies sitting inside of Bumblebee and Elita, discussing the riddle.

(YN): "Okay, let's go over it again." He decided. "When the dawn alights the Dagger's Tip..." He started the riddle.

Simmons: "...The Three Kings will reveal the doorway." He finished the riddle. "That's what he said. Do you know what it means?" He asked (YN), and (YN) glanced at him, thinking that he knew the answer.

(YN): "I'm not sure. What DOSE it mean?" He asked.

Simmons: "I have no idea." He answered without hesitation.

Mikaela and the others tensed in agitation when her friends and they spotted the checkpoint a short ways ahead of them. The checkpoint that they absolutely need to get through, without causing a scene.

(YN): "Oh, crap. Checkpoint." He groaned.

Leo: "I don't have my passport." He whimpered.

The Autobots rolled up to the checkpoint; Bumblebee in the front, Elita, the Twins, and Cliffjumper behind him. They came to a halt at the checkpoint, and the guard seemingly in charge looked down at them with a stern face.

Egyptian Guard: "Passport!" He yelled out clearly, before screaming in his Egyptian tongue, and he made his way down the wooden stairs.

(YN): "They got cameras situated at the top." He whispered, before he retreated further back in his seat.

|—————————|—————————|

In a surveillance center not far away, the camera's feed matched up with the ID of the fugitive. An Egyptian Interpol Officer observing the computer was on the phone, his attention pulled away from the monitor. His co-worker pointed towards (YN)'s face, connecting the match.

Egyptian Interpol Officer: "Put a word to the CIA." He told his co-worker, grabbing his coat. His co-worker got the phone, and began to make the call.

|—————————|—————————|

Simmons: "Alright, chill." He spoke quietly. "This is espionage now. I can handle it. These are my people, I'm one-thirty-sixth Arab." He claimed.

Wheelie: "Oh, great. A frickin munchkin." He muttered. "Little people are mean. Tell him he's tall." He then retreated into the backseats.

Wheelie was correct; the Egyptian Guard was a dwarf, and he did not look happy as he ran his finger down Bumblebee's side and over his flawless yellow finish. The guard came to a halt front of the passenger window as Bumblebee rolled down the window, letting Simmons poke his head out. The guard said something quick and simple in Egyptian, but the group had no idea what it meant, they hoped Simmons did.

Simmons: "Ashu-fanah... The Dagger's ... Tip? Right? Egypt, Jordan. We want to go there. Me and my family. This is my family." He swung his arm over (YN's shoulder and showed his face to the guard. "This is my son," Then he pointed to Leo. "my other son," Then to Mikaela. "my daughter," And then gestured his thumb over to Elita behind them. "and my old friends. We're tourists, from New York." Simmons lied, but at the mention of 'New York', the guard's eyes light up with happiness, and a smile grew on his face.

Egyptian Guard: "New York!" He yelled happily.

Simmons: "Yes. Yes." He answered, grinning.

Egyptian Guard: "Fifty kilometers!" He stated, pointing up ahead of them, beyond the checkpoint.

Simmons: "You look like a guy that runs my falafel stand." He beamed. "Thank you very much." He thanked just as the barrier was pulled up.

Egyptian Guard: "New York!" He yelled back happily, as Bumblebee rolled towards the exit of the checkpoint.

Simmons: "I know. I know you from somewhere." He grinned, wagging his finger at the guard.

Egyptian Guard: "Go, Yankees!" He cheered out as the five Autobots drove away from the checkpoint, making their way to the pyramids of Jordan.

Mikaela: "That was impressive." She commented.

(YN): "Good job, Simmons." He praised.

Simmons: "That was way too close." He sighed in relief.

|—————————|—————————|

High above the Earth's atmosphere, Soundwave had learned that the CIA discovered (YN) was in Egypt when they identified him on camera at the checkpoint and contacted the Decepticons on Earth.

Soundwave: "Decepticons - boy's location detected." He informed.

Meanwhile, Starscream was soaring through the skies when he received the message, and jetted off to the Middle East.

-{Starscream in pursuit.}-

|—————————|—————————|

Thirty minutes later, (YN), Mikaela, Leo, Simmons, Jake, and Vanessa all ran up the sand dunes, towards an abandoned hut, close to the pyramids. The Autobots scaling up the sand dunes after them, kicking up dust along the way.

Skids: "Ssh. Undercover, yo. You got a blend in with your surroundings." He declared as he walked in a crouched position along the sand. "You know, you got to be part of the landscape." Bumblebee, however, had no concern for his 'undercover' technique, and ran right into his side, knocking him to the ground. "Ow!" He shouted, but Bumblebee paid him no mind, and just kept on running.

Elita One: "Just keep moving." She whispered.

Simmons: "Awesome! I think aliens built that!" He gawked, lookin over at the pyramids, staring at awe. "Yeah! Yeah, yeah." Then he noticed (YN) unlocking a locked door of a hut. "Come on. Move it! Move it!" He urged the group as they went inside the building. "Move out!"

(YN): "Guard us. Low profile." He ordered the Autobots. "Don't make a scene, okay?" With that, Autobots nodded and they transformed back into their vehicle modes.

Wheelie: "Yeah, some of us got work to do! Dumb Autobots." He mumbled, before he closed the door, and the Autobots drove away from the building.

Elita One: "Alright. Skids, Mudflap, cover the western perimeter." She ordered. "Don't let anything get past you. If you anything unusual, contact us."

Skids/Mudflap: "Got it!/You can count on us!" They replied and they drove off to the left.

Elita One: "Bee, Cliffjumper, you two are with me." She told them.

Cliffjumper: "Alright." He responded, and he and Bumblebee revved their engines together and they drove off with Elita.

|—————————|—————————|

The sun had gone down and nightfall had arrived. (YN) was up on the balcony of the building they're hiding in, Mikaela cuddling up next to him looking up onto the twinkling stars above. Jake had done some calculating, and took a guess the NEST Team and the Autobots will be arriving in 6 hours time at the coordinates they all provided to them. (YN) had Mikaela cuddled in his lap on a couch, getting warm.

(YN): "You know, I do wonder how I got someone as amazing as you?" He mused.

Mikaela: "Just by being yourself." She smiled pearly, looking up at him. (YN) gave her kiss on her forehead. "Name one other person who cares about you as much as I do that would fly 3,000 miles to help you and not get killed?"

(YN): "Bumblebee?" He smirked. Mikaela dropped her jaw and smacked him, playfully. "I'm kidding! Hey, I was just kidding!" He reassured her, jokingly, and then sighed. "You know I love you, right?" Mikaela then got off his lap and faced him, and kissed him.

Mikaela: "And you know I love you too, right?" She replied. "I mean, look at where we are. We're underneath the moon and the stars, and the three most beautiful pyramids on the planet. I mean, how much more romantic can it get?" She mused.

(YN) nodded and cupped the right side of her face. Then he and Mikaela leaned forward and kissed each other passionately on the lips. (YN) put his other hand on her back, gently pulling her into a hug as Mikaela wrapped her arms around him, hugging him back. He slowly pulled away, then began kissing her right side of her neck, making Mikaela sighed in bliss. (YN) didn't stopped as he kept kissing her neck, then to her collarbone, and to her shoulder. He pulled back from her shoulder and he and Mikaela immediately kissed again, this time deeply, their breathing becoming shallow.

Mikaela pushed (YN) down on the couch as they continued kissing, until she wrapped her arms around his neck, her weight pressed against him. (YN)'s hands caressed her back before he moved them to her waist. Soon, they stopped kissing and stared at each other for a moment to catch their breath, and they smiled. Mikaela then lied on top of him, leaning her head on the crook of his neck with her hands on his shoulders, closing her eyes. (YN) kissed the top of her head as he held her in a loving embrace, his right hand softly stroking through her hair as he gaze at the stars above him. Then, (YN) stopped stroking her hair, and his slowly eyes widened, a spark of revelation had struck his head, as he immediately pushed her off of him while he sat up.

Mikaela: "(YN), what's wrong?" She asked.

(YN) kept his gaze up upon the stars above his head. As he dose so, his gaze goes to the pyramids, and he noticed three of the stars in the sky were glowing brighter than the rest. They were in a row, all three up above the pyramids. Like they were pointing off to somewhere.

(YN): "When the dawn alights the Dagger's Tip... Three Kings will reveal the doorway." He muttered Jetfire's riddle once again. "Three Kings will reveal the..." He paused when looked at the stars once again. Then, his eyes widened in realization when he gaze at the last star, and used his finger to trail down to where it would land. "Doorway!" He finished. "Come with me!" With that, he pulled Mikaela up with him, and they sprinted off into the hut.

In the hut, Leo and Simmons were in a bedroom, snoring while leaning against each other on a wooden bench.

(YN): "SIMMONS! LEO! WAKE UP!" He yelled out. "EVERYONE, WAKE UP!" They immediately woke up to his call, then saw him and Mikaela at the door, Jake and Vanessa running in. "Leo, remember page 47, astronomy class?" He asked.

Leo: "No, I was only in college for two days, bro." He retorted. "Remember that?"

Jake: "What is it?" He asked.

Vanessa: "Did you find something?" She asked.

(YN): "I've found out the clue. I figured out Jetfire's riddle!" He revealed.

Mikaela: "You did?" She asked in surprise.

(YN): "Come on. Let's go, before the sun rises from the horizon." He ordered them.

The early morning chorus from the nearby town could be heard in the distance. Everyone now sprinted out of the hut, and as they run outside, the three stars shone out brightly over to a set of mountains behind the pyramids.

(YN): "Okay, see those three stars? You see the last one touches the horizon?" He asked, pointing to the three bright stars. "That's Orion's belt, but it's also know as 'The Three Kings'. The reason for why it's named that, is because the three Egyptian kings who built the pyramids of Giza built them to mirror those stars. It's like an arrow staring us straight in the face." He explained, pointing at the pyramids. Mikaela and the others all stare at Orion's Belt with wonder. "Don't you see? Just like what Jetfire told us... 'When the dawn alights at The Dagger's Tip, the Three Kings will reveal the doorway!' Well those stars are the Three Kings, it's dawn and we are in the Dagger's Tip!"

Vanessa: "So in other words, the Three Kings are lightning the way to the Tomb." She observed.

Jake: "And that's where the Matrix is." He added.

Simmons: "According to the directions of those stars, they all point due East, towards Jordan." He pointed. "The Mountains of Petra."

(YN): "Alright! Get Bumblebee and the others!" He ordered. "We're heading to Petra!"

To Be Continued...
