Hidden Spark

Chapter 16- An Old Mission

"Jetfire!" I called out to him, and he stopped.
"I'd know that voice anywhere. Lexie Prime. I'll be damned!" He shouted, turning with a smile. I walked over and hugged him.
"Long time no see, old friend." I relaxed, patting his back.
"Glad there's another bot I trust on Earth. Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on? Who's winning?" He asked.
"The Decepticons." I sighed.

"Well, I changed sides to the Autobots." He explained, turning to Sam after seeing all their fear.
"What do you mean, change sides?" He asked.
"It's a choice. It's an intensely personal decision. So much negativity. Who wants to live a life filled with hate? In fact I only stayed around for this little missy." Jetfire replied.
"You mean you don't have to work for those miserable freaking Decepticons?" Wheelie asked.
"If Decepticons had their way, they'd destroy the whole universe." Jetfire confirmed.
"I'm changing sides. I'm changing sides, too, warrior goddess. Who's your little Autobot?" Wheelie started to hump Mikaela's leg.
"Aw, you're cute." She grinned, looking down at him.
"Name's Wheelie. Yeah. Yeah. Say my name, say my name."
"What are you allowing to happen to your foot just now?" Sam asked.
"At least he's faithful, Sam." Mikalea responded.
"Yeah, well, he's faithful, and he's nude, and he's perverted. Can you just... can you stop?" Sam kicked wheelie off of Mikaela's leg.
"Ey, what are you doing?" Wheelie shouted at him.
"It's just something to think about. I won't argue with... what were you saying?" Sam asked, looking back at Jetfire.

"I told you my name was Jetfire! So stop judging me!" He loomed over them
"Somebody shit the bed this morning." Wheelie muttered.
"I have issues of my own, and it started with my mother! My ancestors have been here for centuries. My father, why, he was the wheel! The first wheel. Do you know what he transformed into?" He rambled on.
"No." Simmons replied.
"Nothing! But he did so with honor! Dignity, damn it! Oh, bollocks. My boosters are fried. Aww." Jetfire complained as his parachute deployed, and he was knocked over.
"Calm down, we need your help." I informed as I helped him up.
"I think we can help each other. You know things I don't know. I know things you don't know, I do." Sam added.
"I don't think he knows anything. Honestly, I don't." Leo said and I nudged him with my foot. Sam drew the symbols all over the floor in the sand.

"I could do this all day. It comes in waves, these vivid symbols. They're symbols, but they're in my mind. You see, all this is in my mind, and Megatron wants what's in my mind. Him and someone called The Fallen."
"The Fallen? I know him. He left me here to rust. The original Decepticon. He's terrible to work for. It's always apocalypse, chaos, crisis. These transcriptions, they were part of my mission, the Fallen's search. I remember now, for the Dagger's Tip, and- and the key."
"Yeah, wait, slow down. The Dagger's Tip? The key? What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"No time to explain." Jetfire formed a circle, reaching his hands out. I nodded and took them as Bee and the twins came into the circle. "Wait, wait-" Simmons shouted as a light surrounded us.
"Hold on, everybody! Stay still or you'll die!" Jetfire shouted as we teleported, soon nothing was left of the museum, and we were thrown out in Egypt.

I landed on top of Bee, the mech smirking up at me. I rolled my eyes, quickly getting up and running up the hill to Jetfire. "Unh... ah. Well, that wasn't so bad. At least we're still on the right planet." He smiled, feeling proud of himself. I know for a fact he ended up on Saturn once by doing that. "Hey, that freaking hurt!" Wheelie shouted.
"Oh my God. Where are we?" Sam questioned as he made his way to us. "Where are we? Simmons!" Sam called out, looking down the hill.
"Hey! Yeah!" He shouted back as he joined us, followed by the rest of the group.
"Oh my God. Oh my God. What is this? It's Vegas." Leo panted, also joining us.
"You guys okay?" I asked
"Yeah." Mikalea responded.
"Hey, I think we're in Vegas!" Leo said again, and I laughed at his stupidity.

"That really, really hurt. You're just lucky that I didn't get hurt. People could have gotten killed, okay? And if I would have gotten hurt, you would have heard from my at-" Simmons was cut off by Jetfire.
"Oh, shut up. I told you I was opening a space bridge. It's the fastest way to travel to Egypt."
"When did you... when did you tell us? You didn't tell us anything. You didn't tell us anything. Why are we in Egypt? Lexie?" Sam turned to me.
"I just completed the breach I didn't know where we were going, that wasn't up to me." I replied.
"Don't you get snippy with us, fleshling! You were duly informed!" Jetfire snapped at Sam.
