TRANSFORMERS: Revenge of the Fallen Prime

Figuring Out

Unknown Place
2009

Bumblebee and the twins pulled into what looked like to be a old abandoned...castle. At least, that's what Matsuri would describe it. The three pulled to the stop and Leo, Mikaela, Sam and Matsuri stepped out of Bumblebee. Sam wrapped an arm around her shoulders and began to usher her to walk. He made her sit down in chair with a white table and found another and sat in it on the other side of the small table.

He held her hands, neither saying anything. How could they? Nothing anyone could say will fix what had happened to them and what they had witnessed hours before. The two could hear mumbles coming from Leo's phone as Leo watched from within the building next to them.

"Bro, you need to listen to this man, you gotta check this out." They heard Leo pause. "They have a picture of me, man. We're dead, bro. FBI, CIA, we are wanted fugitives now!"

The siblings got up and began walking, Leo trailing behind them.

"I just need you to focus for one minute, man." Leo piped up.

"Just stop." Sam tried to get him to shut up but didn't work.

"This thing has blown up to a whole other level, all right?"

"You know what? Give me this thing." Sam grabbed Leo's phone and handed it to Matsuri. "They can track us. Do you see this?"

"What?"

Sam nodded to Matsuri and she crushed the phone in her mechanical hand before dropping the pieces and the three began walking again.

"They can track us?" squeaked Leo. "Like satellite track us? Woah woah, okay, I'm not even with you guys! Technically. I'm like a hostage. This is kidnapping...enough is-"

"Yo, Leo!" greeted Skids as he walked into the courtyard, causing the human to jump.

"This thing's gonna give me a heart attack, I swear."

"That 'cause you is a wuss." stated Mudflap.

"You guys forced me into that car, right?"

"I think he's scared."

"Hey, Mudflap, what we gonna do with this shrimp taco?" questioned Skids.

"Let's pop a cap in his ass, throw him in the trunk and then nobody gonna know nothing, know what I mean?"

"Not in my trunk."

"Yo, bumper cars? I'm hearing you, Okay? I'm right here and I can hear you! No one's popping any caps in any asses, okay? I've had a hell of a day!" snapped Leo before walking to Sam and Matsuri.

"Why don't you get a haircut with your bitch ass?" snorted Skids. "Go whine to your boyfriend."

"Listen, Sam, I know what I'm gonna do, man. Look, I'm just going to go to the authorities and tell them the truth. Like, I had nothing to do with this. So, I'm not an accomplice."

"Hey, you wanted this, right?" snapped Sam. "You wanted the real deal? Well, that's what this is. Wake up! You're in the middle of it! You want to run? Go ahead! No one's stopping you! Stop complaining."

NEST Outpost

Will stared as the body of Optimus Prime being dropped onto the air strip with the remaining autobots rolled up. Will knew that the kids were safe when he noticed the three missing autobots, which allowed him a tiny bit of relief- which didn't last long.
