Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

Part 3: Collage

Optimus's POV

Me: ''General, our alliance has countermanded six Decepticons incursions this year, each on a different continent. They're clearly searching around the world for something, but the last Decepticon came with a warning.''

I said and pressed the button on which I had recorded a message from the Decepticon we caught in Shanghai.

Decepticons Voice: ''The Fallen shall rise again.''

General: ''The Fallen? Meaning what?''

Me: ''Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained with the AllSpark and lost with its destruction.''

Voice: ''Excuse me!''

I looked down at the man with short brown hair and glasses.

Man: ''With this so-called AllSpark now destroyed, why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?''

He asked as he was going upstairs.

Lennox: ''Director Galloway, out National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison.''

Said Lennox to the General who was listening trule to the monitor.

General: ''Well, I guess I didn't get the memo.''

Galloway: ''Forgive the interruption, General. Excuse me. Coming true.''

I did not remove my optics away from the man. He came to the monitor and began to speak.

Galloway: ''After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is hard-pressed to say the job's getting done.''

He said and then he looked at me.

Galloway: ''Now, under the classified Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry.''

Me: ''We've witnessed your human capacity for war.''

I said pointing my finger to him.

Me: ''It would absolutely bring more harm than good.''

Galloway: ''But who are you to judge what's best for us?''

Lennox: ''With all due respect, we've been fighting side by side in the field for a year.''

Epps: ''We've shed blood, sweat and precious metal together.''

Galloway: ''Solider, you're paid for shooting, not talking.''

Epps: ''Don't tempt me.''

Said Epps but in a low and quieter voice so I still could hear him.

Me: ''Easy.''

I told him and he nodded his head walking away.

Galloway: ''And the newest members of your team. I understand they arrived here after you send a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House.''

General: ''Let me stop you right there, Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of both Major Lennox and his team has always been above reproach.''

Galloway: ''Well, be that as it my, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach. Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting in peace at the bottom of the Laurentian Abyssal, surrounded by SOSUS detection nets and a full-time submarine surveillance. We also know that the only remaining piece of your alien AllSpark is lock in an electronic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world. And since no one can seem to tell me what the enemy is now after, well, there's only one clear conclusion. You! The Autobots! They are here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth beside that? The Fallen shall rise again? It sounds to me like someone's coming. So, let me ask if we ultimately conclude that our national security is best served by denying you further asylum on our planet, will you leave peacefully?''

Me: ''Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it.''

The man nodded his head.

Me: ''But before your President decides, please ask this. What if we leave and you're wrong?''

Galloway turned around and left.

Lennox: ''That's a good question.''

I turned around and left the base. 'The Fallen shall rise again.' Those wards were constantly coming to my mind. I looked up at the night sky and saw her face. Her beautiful brown eyes and a big bright smile. Riley meant everything to me. I can't let anything happen to her.

Riley's POV

Mom: ''Oh, my gosh! Look at this place. I feel smarter already.''

I took the first box that was mine from the trunk and looked around.

Mom: ''Ron, can you smell it?''

Dad: ''Yah smells like 80,000 a year.''

Mom: ''Hey, cheapo.''

Dad: ''Riley, Sam you two go ahead. We'll get you stuff.''

Me: ''You sure dad?''

Dad: ''Yeah. Just go ahead and check out your rooms.''

As I was walking by my brother, I could feel his eyes on me.

Sam: ''What's wrong?''

Me: ''Why would anything be wrong?''

I said looking at him.

Sam: ''You have been quiet almost the whole ride and I can see that something is on your mind. So, what is it?''

Me: ''It's Optimus.''

Sam: ''What about him?''

Me: ''When we were saying goodbye, he looked worried. Like he was hiding something from me.''

Sam: ''What do you think it is?''

Me: ''I don't know. I really hope that it's not Decepticons.''

Sam: ''It's true that he and other Autobots have been hunting them all around the globe. But I don't think that it's them. Maybe he is just worried that you will find a better man than him here.''

Me: ''Sam!''

Sam: ''I'm kidding. I know that you are the only one for him and he is only one for you.''

When I found my room, I saw that my roommate was already in it. She had long black curly hair. Because she was wearing short pants, I could see that she had dark skin.

Me: ''Hi.''

The girl turned around and a big smile came on her face. She had brown eyes and red glasses on her nose. She was really pretty.

Girl: ''O hi. Nice to meet you. Riley, right?''

She offered her hand for me to shake. I took it with a smile.

Me: ''Yes and you are?''

Girl: ''Sabrina. But friends call me Rina.''

Me: ''Nice to meet you, Rina.''

Rina: ''I didn't choose a side jet so which side do you want?''

Me: ''I can have this side of the room.''

I said looking at the left side.

Rina: ''Okay I will have the right side.''

Me: ''Cool with me.''

I said placing my box on my new bed. The room was not that small, but it was not that big either. It had two beds and two desks on each side with two small closets in the middle.
