(Y/n's POV)

"Okay, so heres what we know what so far. "When dawn alights The Daggers Tip. Three Kings will reveal the doorway... Do you guys have any idea what that riddle means?" I asked from the backseat as Sam and Simmons sat in front with me, Leo and Mikaela in the back of Bumblebee. Simmons tapped his chin in thought.

"Hang on." he dialed a number on his phone. After a few minutes of questions, he seemed to get something. He hung up and looked at us.
"Okay, here's what my CIA contact says. Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the "Dagger's Tip." "

"That's the Dagger's Tip!" I said in realization, pointing at Simmons.
"It's part of the Red Sea. Divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east." he put those coordinates down in the GPS. "Here it is."

"First thing we've got to do is get Optimus to the Dagger's Tip." Sam said.
"How are you going to get him halfway around the world?" Leo asked.
"I'm gonna make a call."

Speeding down the road, I heard sirens ahead of us. "We got cops!" I said. Speeding past them, causing them to crash.
"I can't go to prison, guys!" Leo said, in worry.
"You won't!" I said over the loud engine.

"Sam, we got to get off this road and lay low." Simmons said.
"Take the lead, Bee!" I said and he sped up.

While hiding, we watched the cop cars drive past us with Mikaela keeping watch. The twins weren't doing so well at hiding. Bee had to hold Skids by his foot while he and Mudflap hung onto the building.

"Man, stupid cops!"
"This is what's called blending in like a ninja."
"Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face" they argued.

"Shh! You both are going to blow our cover if you keep talking!" I whisper-shouted.

"They're gone." Mikaela whispered.
Sam hopped down from the level he was on and walked up to Simmons.
"We're running out of time. I gotta make a call to Lennox-" he was cut off my Simmons.

"You're on the Worldwide Wanted List. Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds. CIA is all over this place! That includes you, too." he pointed at me, making me glare at him.

"You're gonna call." Sam said. He took a minute to process, but he reluctantly accepted and we went to a payphone. He was finally able to get a hold of him. " Lennox, I'm with the kid. The kid. You know, the one with the attitude, right? And I'm also with one of your teammates. You know, the one who held me at gunpoint? 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 one dollar bill. Coordinates for airdrop, 29.5 north, 34.88 east. Write it down. Write it." I looked over and saw someone running towards us.
"Simmons, we gotta move. Now. Someone's coming!"

Simmons quickly hung up, and the payphone broke and fell. "Wait! It's me! Leo! Me! Leo! Leo! Leo!" he uncovered his face. "Cops are coming right now. We need to go!"

"Come on." I whispered, and we quickly booked it to the 'Bots. While we were back on the road, we went over the riddle a few more times.
"Okay, let's go over it again." we said it together. "When the dawn alights-"
"-the Daggers Tip," Sam said.
"The Three Kings-" I continued
"-will reveal the doorway." Simmons finished.

"I"m lost, guys. I can't figure it out." I said, shaking my head with disappointment. Soon, we pulled up to the checkpoint, knowing we were probably screwed because they always have cameras here. Leo, of course, started to freak out.

An officer started talking in Egyptian, and walked down the post towards us.
"They got cameras at the top." Sam said. Shit...

"All right, chill. This is espionage now. I can handle it. These are my people." Wheelie peeked his head between Simmons and Sam. "I'm one thirty-sixth Arab."

"Yeah, sure like that's gonna help." I mumbled. The officer got closer to us, and we saw how short they were. "Oh great, a freakin' munchkin. Little people are mean, tell him he's tall." Wheelie said.
"Would you get back? You're not supposed to be seen!" I whispered and pulled him away from them. The officer came up to the passenger side window, and spoke something in Egyptian.

Simmons spoke something before continuing in English.
"The Dagger's... Tip? Right? Egypt, Jordan. We want to go there. Me and my family. This is my family. This is my son, my other son, my two daughters." Mikaela and I waved with froced smiles. "We're tourists, from New York."

"New York?" The officer seemed happy to know about that. Simmons nodded. "Yes. Yes."

He pointed down the road past the checkpoint. "Fifty kilometers." Simmons thanked him, and we were cleared to go. I smiled at Simmons. "That... honestly, it went better than I thought. You surprise me, Simmons. You really do." I said.

We needed to rest after a while, and we came up to an abandoned shelter where we could stay. We climbed up the cliff. I pulled myself up with a grunt and huffed.

"Undercover, yo. You gotta blend in with your surroundings. You know, you gotta be part of the landscape- Ow!" Skids ran into Bumblebee's leg. Sam ran up to the door to try and open it. Simmons looked over at the pyramid behind the building. "I think aliens built that." 

"Sure, Simmons. Whatever you say."

"Come on! Move it, move it!" we ran into the building. "Guard us. Low profile. Don't make a scene, okay?" Sam said.

"Yeah, some of us have work to do! Dumb Autobots..." Wheelie said as we closed the door.

"I guess we're staying here for the night." I said.

(Time Skip)

Night fell, and I stretched my sore limbs. Bumblebee sat next to me in his robot form, and I sighed as I looked up at the night sky.
"You know, Bee. This definitely wasn't how I imagined we'd be spending our time as a team together. Stuck in a foreign country, on the run, hiding, stopping some psycho Decepticon from destroying our sun. Did you ever think of that?" I looked at him. He thought about it before speaking.

"Not really- But since- we're together- it makes the journey- even better." he said between movie and radio clips.
I smiled at him and looked up at the stars again. "I wonder what Cybertron was like for you guys before you went to war. I bet It was beautiful." Bee smiled under his mask. Looking closely at the stars, I noticed the three bright ones leading down the horizon.

"Hang on a second.." I stood up and thought about it. "When dawn alights the Dagger's tip. Three Kings will reveal the doorway.." I paced. "Three kings... three stars... reveal the doorway! Bee! I figured it out!" I quickly ran and yelled for everyone.

"Sam! Guys! Wake up!" I yelled, running up the stairs.
"What? What is it?" Sam said. Everyone else piled in. "I figured it out. The riddle!"
"How?" Leo asked.
"Come on." I led them outside where the sun was about to rise, and the stars were still shining. "Okay, look. Look at the stars."

"That's Orion's Belt." Sam commented.
"Correct. Now the first part of the riddle, "dawn alights the Dagger's Tip", we already solved. Now, the three kings are right there in front of us. The three stars are also called the Three Kings." I said. Sam nodded and stepped up beside me.

"Right. The three Egyptian Kings built the Pyramids of Giza to mirror those stars, so it's like an arrow staring us right in the face."

"The Three Kings will reveal the doorway, and I think we just found the doorway." I said with a smile.
"They point due east, towards Jordan. The mountains of Petra." Simmons said.
