(Egypt)

Soon, everyone were racing across the Egyptian desert; Braedey with Simmons, Moka, Wheelie, and Kento in Bumblebee, whilst Kurumu, Jento, Yukari, and Mizore were all in Mudflap.

"Here's what my CIA contact says." Simmons said; having been on the phone for the past ten minutes. "Ancient Sumerians used to call the Gulf of Aqaba the 'Dagger's Tip.'"

Braedey nodded. "So that's the Dagger's Tip."

"It's part of the Red Sea, Braedey." Kento added. "It divides Egypt and Jordan like the tip of a sword's blade."

Simmons held up some GPS-looking device, and he read off the coordinates. "29.5 degrees North; 35 East. Here it is." He handed it to Moka - sitting behind Braedey and next to Kento looked at it carefully. She nodded, and she handed it back to Simmons.

"Right. Our first course of action; We've gotta get Optimus and the others to the Dagger's Tip." Braedey declared.

"How are we gonna do that, and get him halfway around the world?" Moka asked.

Braedey looked at her in the rear-view mirror. "I'm gonna make a phone call."

Bumblebee and the Twins, along with Alpha Trion, drove as fast as they can, but as they do, Moka admired the silhouette of the great pyramids on the horizon. The peaceful moment was interrupted by the sound of wailing sirens ringing loudly a few metres ahead of them, and everyone spotted two police officers that were driving rapidly towards them.

"We got cops!" Braedey shouted, then let's go of the wheel. "Bumblebee, you take the wheel!"

"We gotta lose them!" Kurumu yelled out from Mudflap.

After some trained manoeuvres, the Autobots had managed to force the police off of the road, giving them the advantage of a few seconds, allowing them to floor it down the road, and towards a small city. Bumblebee drove ahead, leading the others through the town, trying to find a route, or a hiding place that would allow the Autobots to loss the now three police officers. After a few seconds of driving mindlessly through the town with no luck, Braedey and Bee found a large open area of the city, large enough for five Autobots to hide. Deciding that this was the only possible hiding place, Braedey and Bee drove through the streets, towards the sound of ringing sirens.

Hidden from view, Bumblebee held onto the edge of the roof. Bee was using his other unoccupied hand, by wrapping it around Mudflap's ankle, holding him up and out of sight. His brother, Skids, was doing the same thing as Bee, he was using one of his hands to hold on to the edge of the roof, but one of his feet was lodged on a small ledge in the wall, so he was holding his weight equally between his arm and leg.

Moka had wrapped a black burqa around her head, allowing her to hide in plain sight, along with Kurumu, and act as the lookout, while Braedey, Kento and his sister, Simmons, Yukari, and Mizore hid behind a wall.

"Man, stupid cops! Ah-ha-ha!" Mudflap laughed, as he heard the sirens pass the alley way entrance.

"This is what's called blending in like a ninja." Skids decided with a grin.

"Shut up, or I'll blend my fist in your face." Mudflap threatened his twin, and the girls subconsciously rolled her eyes, they were like an old married couple

Moka and Kurumu ripped their burqas off of their faces, and turned to face their friends. "They're gone." The former whispered. If they were gone, why was she whispering?

"We're running out of time. I gotta make the call to Lennox-" Braedey started to say, but the second Moka and the others heard the words "call" and "Lennox", The Vampire jumped right into the discussion, ready to state that he would do no such thing.
