Sparkmate

The Tomb of Primes

After driving through the gates, Y/N glances out the window, just as you hear the officers yell trying to stop both Skids and Mudflap drive past in speed, just as the gates were about to close. Realizing that's how they would get through. You sigh and punch the bridge of your nose as Bee too takes off as if we were criminals caught by the border control. Driving over hills of sand, catching sand of dust in their wake.

Night came and everyone slowed to a stop near three large pyramids. Simmons was the first to speak up, pointing at a large pyramid in shock.

"That looks like an alien had built it."

You frowned and climbed out of the car. Glancing up at the pyramid, then at Simmons.

"You are an idiot." You said with a frown. "The Egyptians built the pyramids. Do you know anything about history?" You cross your arms over your chest making a scene. "Why are we even here? It's a waste of our time! We should be saving Optimus, not running from the police and relaxing on the hottest place on earth!"

Sam looks at you with sadness as you stormed off. Wanting to help you as much as he could. The night air was getting a little colder, as everyone relaxed and made camp. You watched as Simmons and Leo sat together in the sand, with their jackets and bags as pillows. With a fire burning lightly between them. You glanced at a broken building with no roof and saw Sam and Mikaela rush inside to star gaze. While Bee, Skids and Mudflap were in their vehicle forms, keeping watch and ready if they have to make a quick escape. You groan with anger, holding back yawns of tiredness. You stare up at the starry sky, you instantly remembered the time you and Optimus had that alone time underneath the stars back at your home... Just staring up at the stars in silence, that night before you had to leave for college. That intimate and romantic night alone...

Optimus... You sigh and start to cry softly. Falling into your knees onto the warm sand below. You imagine Optimus sitting with you on the sand, watching the night sky with you. Feeling his closeness despite his huge size.

"Y/N, look. Falling stars." You open your eyes and glanced up at the sky, watching many stars falling through the beautiful sky. "Make a wish, Y/N."

You stare up at the stars, watching them fall. You close your eyes and wished with all your heart and spark that you will bring the one that you love back. Sleep finally took hold of you... You slowly fell onto the sand with your hands underneath your head like a pillow. Sinking slightly in the sand, the warmth of the sand almost felt as if someone was holding you with a gentle hand. Above you, the stars begun to twinkle to your unspoken wish.

You was lost in a dream. You was stuck in a golden glow like before as many different beings stood before you, all circling you. They was saying something, something that you couldn't make out. They all looked tall and strong just like Optimus. Are they all Primes? They all look at you as the light glows brighter showing the Dagger's Tip within a tomb.

Wait... That's...

You gasp as the voices of the Primes spoke.

"...This... Is..." Started one.

"...the... Dagger's Tip..." Finished the other.

The Dagger's Tip!

"You... Must not... Let..."

You tried to hear more as they're voices get weaker and further away as if they was in a tunnel...

No... Wait...

You race after them but fall into the sand head first.

I need to know more... I must not let what? Come back... Please...

You groan in pain and annoyance as you hear Sam call out to you. You feel yourself shake awake. Your head lifts up, showing sand in your hair and eyelashes. You frown as you glare at Sam.

"Y/N."

"What?"

You hear Simmons groan from the lack of sleep as Sam turns to Leo.

"Listen, astronomy class, page 47. Remember the class?"

Leo rubs his eyes and rolls over to sleep some more. "No. No, I was only in college for two days. Remember that?"

"Here Get up. Up, up." Sam pulls Leo off the sandy bed with force making Leo stumble around half asleep like some walking dead.

"What are you talking about?"

Sam turns Leo around so he can see what he was seeing and explains what's going on. "Okay, you see those three stars? You see how the last one touches the horizon? That's Orion's belt, but it's also called the Three Kings. And the reason for that is the three Egyptian kings who built the pyramids of Giza built them to mirror those stars, so it's like an arrow staring us straight in the face." Sam points up at the stars where two of them was slowly moving to the middle. Simmons glanced up and stood up slowly in awe. You also follow their gaze with annoyance. Your eyes widen in shock at the name. Orion? Why does that name sound familiar? Wait... Why would I know that name? Was one of the Primes was called Orion? You remember what the Primes said to you in your dreams.

"You must not let..."

It was something they didn't wanted to happen... Whatever it was... It must be important.

"They all point due east, towards Jordan. The mountains of Petra." Simmons explained.

You stood up slowly and stare at the stars, that seemed to be showing the way. This is it, time to find the Dagger's Tip. Hang on Optimus, we are going to bring you back!"
