Congratulations! The Sun is about to become Non-Existent

Chapter 7

Sam was sitting in one of the middle rows in the lector class. He was flipping quite fast through his book unlike everyone else who was listening to the professor or how the girls in the front were fawning over instead of listening.

Professor Colan looked at the girls as he picked up an apple, "Space. Time.," he took a bite of his apple before tossing it at the girls who scrambled to grab it, "Gravity," he finished.

The Female Student who had grabbed the apple whispered a 'Thank you.'

Professor Colan smiled with a wink, "Finish that for me. We're going on a journey together, you and I, today. All you... eager, nubile, young minds on the very cusp of adulthood. And I shall be your consort, your guide, your... chaperone into the heart of darkness," Professor Colan laughed, over exaggerating everything. "Welcome to Astronomy 101. For what do we know about the stars? Virgo. The virgin. Orion, the great hunter. These are no mere twinkling diamonds for... lovely maidens to wish upon. No, they are dynamos filled with a throbbing, savage and pent-up energy!" He finished making the girls sigh and one in the back gag with disgust.

Leo looked at Sam with confusion, "Sam, Sam-"

"Behold the work of Albert Einstein, a professor once, like moi. Energy equals mass..." Professor Colan said as Sam shot his hand up with a thud from his book.

Leo panicked, "What you doing? Put your hand down. Put your hand down. Put your hand down."

"Young man, there are no questions until I've reached the climax of my lecture."

Sam stood up, "I just finished your book and there's only one problem. Einstein's wrong," he stated getting laughter from the students.

Sam ran over and flipped a blackboard on a clear side before starting to write, "Energy does equal mass times the velocity of light squared in this dimension, but what about the other seventeen? Nobody talks about the other seventeen. Clear example. Break down the elemental components of Energon, assume a constant decay rate and extrapolate for each of the fourteen galactic convergences it took the Sentinel Prime expedition to receive an e-echo on its signal, you wind up with a formula for inter-dimensional energy increase that mass and light alone can't possibly explain. Come on guys, I can't be the only one in the class who..." Sam looked at the students to find everyone looking at him like he was insane.

Professor Colan glared at Sam, "Young man, I will not be punk'd in front of the dean." Professor Colan gestured to the dean who gasped. "No, this is my universe here. Do you understand? I am the alpha and the omega. Get out of my class!"

Students laughed at Sam's shocked and defeated face, "Yes, sir," Sam sighed as he walked out of the classroom with his things.

Professor Colan sighed, "Anyone else care to have some sort of mental breakdown?"

Casey scribled cybertronian on a new piece of paper as she sat on a bed covered with pages full of symbols that were mostly the same. Ironhide walked into the room and looked at the situation in front of him.

His girlfriend was sitting on the bed with paper all around her that all had ancient Cybertronian on it, "Princess, what are you doing?" he asked her confused.

"I-I," She stuttered as she looked at the papers, "I don't know I just started writing this all of a sudden." Casey didn't understand it all, all of these symbols had randomly flashed across her eyes. It gave her a wicked headache when the images flashed across her eyes.

"Do you have any idea what these mean?" she asked Ironhide as she showed him the paper.

"No, I know what it is but not what it means. I can't read ancient Cybertronian," Ironhide told her. Casey only became more confused by the second. Her phone rang and the image of her brother popped up, she answered it quickly and looked up at Hide who was looking at the papers.

"What do you need, Sam?"  Casey answered.

Sam breathed out a sigh of relief, "Something just happened to me, okay?" Sam said frantically.

Casey rolled her eyes, "What? you finally hit puberty?" She asked laughing while Ironhide smirked.

"No, no, no. Stop laughing. This is serious, okay. Remember those old stories about are great-great-grandfather, Archibald Witwicky? Remember? Watch it, watch it, watch... No! Okay, remember how we were told how, okay, can you stop? Watch the foot! Watch your foot! Casey, okay, our great-great-grandfather went on the Arctic mission, right? And he saw Megatron. Megatron zapped him and he started seeing these crazy symbols. Okay. Well, now I'm seeing them, too. Excuse me. I just read a nine hundred and three page astronomy book in thirty two point six seconds. I had a meltdown in the middle of my class. I am seeing symbols ever since we..."

"Sam I've been seeing symbols too, they are litteral all over my bed in paper," Casey told him as she pointed for Ironhide to grab an empty binder as she scrambled to grab all the papers.

Sam's eyes widened as he froze, "We've been seeing the symbols ever since we touched the Cube splinter. Does Mikaela have it?"

"Yeah, she has it. It's safe. It's fine."

"Casey tell her not touch it, okay? Not to touch it."

"I'll tell her not to touch it. Sam, it's fine. She told me it's locked away. No one knows where it is. She didn't even tell me." Sam sighed in relief. "Sam I gotta go call them," Casey said before hanging up and calling Riley.

Riley pulled her phone off her hip and answered without looking, "This better be good whoever you are. I'm busy distracting my sister from her jerkish boyfriend!"

"I don't even want to know what he's done now," Casey responded, "Hey! You actually answered this time! And speaking of my brother, we've got a situation..."

"What do you mean "we've got a situation"? Like Decepticons situation or he's cheating situation?"

"None of the above. Cybertronian in general situation. Sam and I are seeing Cybertronian symbols. We need you and Micky in Philadelphia with us ASAP," Casey explained.

"So much for peaceful," Riley groaned, "Alright, I'll get Lennox to arrange a plane to take us back to the states then we're on the first flight to you guys. This better be as serious as it sounds or I'm chucking my phone in the ocean."

Casey chuckled as she handed Ironhide the binder of papers. "It is trust me. Also don't touch the shard, Sam will have my head if you do."

"No touchie, got it," Riley nodded, "See you soon, Case."

"Stay safe," with that Casey and Riley hung up.
