Then we got zapped and I got thrown in the air and landed on Sam "Sorry Sam" I said "That hurt" he said "Calling me heavy?" "A bit" and he smiled I noticed his hand was burned. I wrapped his hand with some cloth

I got up "Sam! Alexia" I heard Mikaela yell "Where are we? Simmons!" Sam yelled "Hey! Yeah!" Simmons yelled back. We ran to them "You guys okay?" I asked "Yeah" Mikaela said "Hey, I think we're in Vegas!" Leo yelled. 

We reunited "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 at-" Simmons said 

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

"When did you... when did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything. Why are we in Egypt?" Sam asked "Don't you get snippy with me, fleshling! You were duly informed!" Jetfire said 

"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?" I said 

"This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, a 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?"

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

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

"Destroy suns?" Sam asked "You mean blow them up?" Leo asked 

"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" and he showed us an image of him it was creepy and scary

"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" there was a war 

"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. 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" Jetfire said

"Okay, so how do we stop him?" Mikaela asked "Only a Prime can defeat the Fallen" "Optimus Prime?" me and Sam asked 

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

"He sacrificed himself to save us" I said "So, he's dead. Without a Prime, it's impossible. No one else could stop the Fallen" Jetfire said

I looked down all of our faith was lost "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?" Sam 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 us?" I asked

"Follow your mind, your map, your symbols. 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! That was my mission. It's your mission now. Go before the Decepticons find me and find you" Jetfire said

We got into Bee and drove "Okay, here's what my CIA contact says. Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the "Dagger's Tip"" Simmons said 

"That's the Dagger's Tip" Sam said "It's part of the Red Sea. Divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a blade. 29.5 degrees north, 35 east. Here it is" 

"First thing we've got to do is get Optimus to the Dagger's Tip" 

"How are you gonna get him halfway around the world?" Leo asked "I'm gonna make a call" I said "We got cops... Whoa!" Sam said "I know, I know..." Simmons said. 

Bee and the twins drove around town "I can't go to prison, guys" Leo said "Sam, we got to get off this road and lay low" I said

We got off and dressed up "Man, stupid cops! Ah-ha-ha!" Mudflap said "This is what's called blending in like a ninja" Skids said "Shut up or I'll blend my fist in your face" Mudflap said "They're gone" I said 

"Okay, we're running out of time. I gotta make the call to Lennox-I mean Will" Sam said "You're on the Worldwide Wanted List. Try calling one base, they'll track you here in seconds. CIA is all over this place!" Simmons said

"You're gonna call" I said "Oh. Okay. That's a good idea" "All right. But we're going with" I said "I mean, I just had my mind on other things like winding up in an Egyptian prison" Simmons said 

I shook my head "Can we stop talking about prison" "I mean it's we could all end up there" Simmons said "Let's go make the call" he stood there "Now!" I yelled 

He jumped up then nodded and we walked to the closest phone or more like the only phone that was there and he made the call "I need to speak with Major Lennox it's important" Simmons said
