Chapter 9: The Riddle

Enjoy!
_______________

(Y/n's POV)

From being shot at by Decepticons in action, I would say that hot sand is not something I was recommended landing on. I was launched in the air with Bumblebee, and I landed on my front, getting sand up my nose and in my mouth. I spat out sand, and looked around at my surroundings. My face was already sweating from my jacket I was wearing and the heat.

"Bee? You okay?"

Bee gave me a thumbs up, making me nod, and I stood up, brushing the sand off of me. "Where the hell are we?" I asked more to myself than anything.

"Y/N!!" I heard Sam scream, which caused me to turn around.

"SAM! SIMMONS!" I yelled and ran towards them. Mikaela and Leo were together. Thank god they were safe.

"Hey! I think we're in Vegas!" Leo yelled as they ran towards us. I looked at Sam and saw that he had burns on his hand.

"Sam, your hand!" I said. Sam hissed at the pain and nodded. I looked around and saw Jetfire on some rock ledge.
Once we got there, I took off my jacket and quickly used that same knife from earlier to rip the end of my shirt off and started wrapping it around Sam's injury. Leo kinda stared at me as my abs and stomach were shown. I glared at him, and he quickly looked away.

Simmons started complaining to Jetfire

"That really, really hurt. You're just lucky that I didn't get hurt. People could have gotten killed, okay? And if I would have gotten hurt, you would have heard from my-"

"Oh, shut up." Jetfire interrupted. "I told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt."

"Bullshit! You didn't say anything!" I yelled at him as I finished wrapping Sam's hand.

"You didn't tell us anything! Why are we in Egypt?" Sam asked and stood up.

"Don't get snippy with me, fleshling!" Jetfire sat down in the rock ledge. "You were duly informed."

"Okay, look. We've already traveled thousands of miles to get here, I think we deserve an explanation as to why we're here halfway across the globe. So, can you at least give us some information so we can all get through the day?" Simmons nodded and pointed a finger at me, knowing I was making a point.

"This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, millennium 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?!" the old bot yelled as parts started to spring off of his body

"Oh god..." I sighed and rubbed my temples.

"Let's not get episodic, okay? Old-timer? Beginning. Middle. End. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it." Simmons said.

Jetfire continued.

"Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns." he looked up at the bright sun above him.

"Destroy suns?" Sam questioned.

"You mean, blow them up?" Leo added.

"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." Jetfire projected a hologram of the Decepticon from the news. "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 battle was shown between what seemed like the Primes. Setting the time from millions of years ago, like Jetfire said. At least we know he wasn't totally senile.

"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." it showed the Primes forming into the wall and flash of light. The wall was covered, hiding the key and the bodies of the Primes. "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."

"Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked.

"Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen." Jetfire replied.

I looked at Sam with a raised eyebrow. "Optimus Prime?" he asked. Jetfire seemed interested and leaned towards us.

"So, you two have met a Prime? Why, you must've met a great decedent." I looked down sadly. "Is he alive? Here? On this planet?" he asked.

I shook my head. "He sacrificed himself to save me and Sam." I said. Sam placed a hand on my shoulder.

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

"Wait so, the same energy is going to be used to reactivate the machine.." I looked at Sam. "Could that energy be used to bring Optimus back?" I asked.

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

"So then how do you get us to the Matrix before the Decepticons get to me?" Sam asked.

"Follow your mind, your map, your symbols." Jetfire tapped his head. "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 pushed us away. I stepped back as we all went to the Autobots. "That was my mission. It's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you."

It was going to be a long trip ahead of us, but the world is depending on us, I guess. We hopped into Bumblebee and started our journey towards Egypt.
