Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

What I believe

  My eyes shot open but I started squinting them shut, trying to avoid the bright light above me. I slowly begin to sit up opening my eyes again and looking at my surroundings. I was in a white room with an IV sticking out of my left arm. I was inside the medical bay in NEST headquarters. I raised my hand to touch my throbbing head but all I feel is bandages. I looked at my right arm when I noticed a blue glow emitting from my hand. I bring it closer to my face to get a closer look but I looked to the side when Epps and Lennox entered the room. "How you holding up kid?" Lennox asked. I begin to rub the back of my neck unsure of what to say. "I guess I'm doing okay." I look down at my lap as I try to remember what happened last night. "What happened to me last night. I can barely remember." I look up at them and waited for an answer. "You fainted after we took down the Decepticon." "Do you know what caused me to pass out?" They look at each other before Epps speaks up. "The doctors say that the cause was blood loss, but Ratchet thinks its something else." I quirk my eyebrows in confusion. I opened my mouth to say something when the doctor came walking in. "Hello miss. How are you feeling this morning." She walks up to me checking the chart at the foot of the bed before looking at me. "I'm feeling fine." I say in a stern voice which caught me off guard. She nods her head before putting the chart down and giving me a quick check up and removing the bandages of my head to see how I healed. "Your healing rate has increase since the last time you've been here. You're good to go." She says as she carefully takes out the IV marking some things on my chart and leaving with out saying a word. I look over at Epps and Lennox before standing up, using the bed for support. "Kat I have something to tell you." I look at Lennox as he helps me steady myself before moving away and walking away telling me to follow. I look at Epps waving a goodbye as he heads toward the main hanger.

"I got a call from your aunt while you were out." "Uh, oh. What happened this time?" He then stops and turns to face me. "Not much." I cross my arms not believing him. "Just that today Sam is going off to college." I blink a couple times before processing it and face palm. "My god is that really today?" I ask him. He smiles and nods his head. "Don't worry kid you have the rest of this week off." He continues to walk to the hanger with me not trailing to far behind. We then see helicopters flying over us and I give Lennox a questioning look. 'What the hell happened when I was out.' "Follow me." I don't even bother to ask questions and just follow my captains orders. We then stop walking when a couple of men in black suits come closer to us. "Director Galloway, what an honor. I'd love to show you around but you gotta be on the classified access list." This director Galloway slams a paper onto Lennox's chest walking away looking extremely pissed. "I am now. Presidential Order. I got a message for your classified space buddies!" He walks toward the hanger with his body guards while Lennox and I look at he paper reading what was on it, following the douche in the black suit. "You guys made a mess of Shanghai." We walk into one of the communication hangers where everything was set up for what I believe is a debrief of our last mission. I stand near Lennox as he explains the room, not wanting to be near Galloway. "All right, so this is where we communicate with the JCS and this area serves as the Autobots' hangar." He says pointing to a corner of the room. Lennox and I go up to the platform waiting for the communication comm's to go online. Once everything is online I stand off to the side, staying out of everyone's way. Lennox then starts to speak with our command about what happened during our last mission. "We have Intel that I believe warrants an immediate debrief. Now with your permission, I can't let you see him, but I would like you to hear from the leader of the Autobots." "Proceed." I look over the railing and watch as Optimus starts to transform, everyone getting out of the way when he adjust himself and looks at the monitors but not at the camera.

"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 last night's encounter came with a warning." The message was then played over the intercoms for everyone to hear. "The Fallen shall rise again." The General looks at the screen with confusion. " "The fallen." Meaning what?" Optimus looks down at me before looking back at the screen with the General. "Origin unknown. The only recorded history of our race was contained within the AllSpark, and lost with its destruction." "Excuse me!" I let out a heavy sigh as Optimus looks down at Galloway. "With this so-called AllSark now destroyed, Why hasn't the enemy left the planet like you thought they would?" He says while climbing up the latter onto the platform. "Director Galloway, our National Security Advisor. The President just appointed him liaison." Lennox says before rolling his eyes. "Forgive the interruption General. Excuse me. Coming through." 'Demanding son of a bitch.' I stand to the side watching him make his way lightly pushing people away to get to the camera. "After all the damage in Shanghai, the President is hard-pressed to say the job's getting done." He then turns around to face Optimus continuing to speak. "Now, under the classified Alien/Autobot Cooperation Act, you agreed to share your Intel with us, but not your advancements in weaponry." "We've witnessed you human capacity for war." He then points a giant finger at Galloway making him back off a little. "It would absolutely bring more harm than good." "But who are you to judge what's best for us?" Galloway says with an attitude. "Optimus is very observent. His judgment on us is important so we can find better and efficient ways of changing how we fight our wars." He looks at me and then down at Epps when he started to speak. "With all due respect we've been fighting side by side in the field for two years. We've shared blood sweat and precious metal together." "Soldier, you're paid to shoot, not talk. Like the little girl is supposed to look pretty instead of fighting." I ball my hands into fist but calm down when Lennox places his hand on my shoulder shaking his head. 'Sexist bastard.' "And the newest members of your team. I understand they arrived here after you sent a message into space, an open invitation to come to Earth, vetted by no one at the White House." "Let me stop you right there Mr. Galloway. It was vetted right here. And in my experience, the judgment of both Lennox and his team has always been above reproach." The Director walks closer to the screen and looks at the General. "Well, be that as it may, General, it is the position of the President that when our national security is at stake, no one is above reproach." He then starts to talk to Optimus again. "Now, what do we know so far? We know that the enemy leader, classified as NBE One, aka Megatron, is rusting at the bottom of the Laurentain 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 locked in an electromagnetic vault here on one of the most secure naval bases in the world." "It's only "most secure" with human enemy's, you can't underestimate the capability the Decepticons may have to break in and take it." Trying to prove a point that he over looked. He then looks at me and at Optimus. "And since no one can tell me what the enemy is now after," He looks at me before speaking again. "Well, there's only one clear conclusion! You! The Autobots! The mutant girl" He points at me then at Optimus, trying to prove something. I can already feel the anger starting to boil up inside of me. "They're here to hunt you! What's there to hunt for on Earth besides that?" "They could hunt for human heads for trophies. Have you thought of that!" I say letting my anger show. " "The Fallen shall rise again"? And " he'll use the girl to take what is rightful his"?" He says pointing at me. "It sounds to me like something'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 with the girl, peacefully?" My eyes widen in shock on how fast this bastard wants to get rid of them and me. Multiple questions go through my head as I see the results of every outcome of this situation but one. "Freedom is your right. If you make that request, we will honor it but the girl stays here for this is her home." He looks at me with a small quick smile as Galloway shakes his head. I get a little said thinking about a life without the Autobots, without Bee.
