{NEST Base} [Lennox]

The team and I return to base after trying to get to the Autobots but we learned that Prime was killed, once back the Team and the Autobots waited for Prime's body to return to us.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ratchet asked

"You dare point a gun at me? You want a piece of me? I will tear you apart!" Ironhide shouted

"Drop your weapons! Drop your weapons! Tell them to lower their weapons!" Will demand

"Tell them first." Soldier replied

"Tell them to lower their weapons," Will said

"Major, there's nothing I can do. Talk to him." Soldier replied

"Your NEST team is deactivated, Major. You are to cease anti-Decepticon operations and return to Diego Garcia pending further orders." Galloway said

"No, we take our orders directly from Chairman Morshower, sir," Will replied

"Well, I'll see your Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and I will raise you a President of the United States. I have operational command now. An alien blood feud has been brought to our shores for which our soldiers are paying the price. The secret is out! This is our war now and we will win it as we always have, with a coordinated military strategy." Galloway said

"This fool is terribly misinformed," Ratchet said

"You're gonna need every asset that you've got," Will said

"What we need is to draw up battle plans while we explore every possible diplomatic solution," Galloway replied

"Like what, handing over the kid?" Will question

"All options are being considered," Galloway Answered

"Whatever the Decepticons are after, this is just the start." Soldier said

"There is no negotiating with them," Will said

"I'm ordering you to stand down. You won't be needing this anymore. Get your assets back to base! And take that pile of scrap metal back to Diego Garcia. Let's go!" Galloway replied

"I really don't like that dude. He's an asshole." Epps said

We watch everyone move to start packing up everything while Epps and I stood with the Autobots as Ratchet talked to Ironhide.

"Ironhide, we should leave this planet." Ratchet said

"That's not what Optimus would want," Ironhide replied

[Sam]

After spending some time thinking about what to do next, I went to see Mikaela and Bee as we talked about turning myself in but then asked the twins if they know their language as Leo come about and told us about someone named Robo-Warrior so we packed up went to sleep for that night before leaving to find this person.

"This guy, Robo-Warrior, everything about anything alien, he's supposed to know. One time we revenge-hacked his site and maybe I saw some of your alien drawings or whatever." Leo said

It turned out that Robo-warrior is Simmons so he cleared everyone out before he and I talked about the transformers and how he would help us find out what the symbols mean when we found out Mikaela has a Decepticon. With the help of the Deception we found a transformer who could read the symbols.

"The closest one's in Washington. Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Land of dreams in there. All I ever wanted to be was an astronaut." Simmons said

I pointed the shard towards the plane as the shard shocked the plane at the same time Mikaela when to check they logo.

"Shit. It's a Deception!" she shouted

"Deception?" I asked

"Decepticon? Behind the MiG now!" Simmons said

"What sort of hideous mausoleum is this? Answer me, pawns and knaves! Show yourselves or suffer my infinite wrath! You little spinal-cord-based organisms! Bugger it! Behold the eternal glory of Jetfire! Prepare for remote systems override!" the plane said

"I tell you, this guy did not age well." Transformer replied

"I don't think he's gonna hurt us." Leo said

"I command these doors to open. Fire! I said, fire! Bollocks!" plane said

the plane carried on chatting to himself until he turn to us and asked us what planet he is on as we looked at him funny.

"I have no time to talk. I'm on a mission. I'm a mercenary doom-bringer. What planet am I on?" Plane asked

"Earth." I answered

"Earth? Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it "Dirt." Planet "Dirt." Tell me, is that robot civil war still going on? Who's winning?" plane asked

"The Decepticons." I answered

We found out the transformers could change sides at any given point and that gave the small transformer an mad moment where he started to hump my girlfriend leg as she smiled at him so I tried to stop him then faced the big guy to carry on finding answers for what is happening to me, he shouted his name Jetfire and went on about family so we tried to him to help us about the symbols that i'm seeing in my head.

"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." I said

"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 the key." Jetfire replied

"Slow down. The Dagger's Tip? The key? What are you talking about?" I asked

"No time to explain. Hold on, everybody! Stay still or you'll die!" Jetfire replied

With that being said Jetfire stood over is all and transported us all somewhere and all I could see is sand and hills until I hear my name being called so I ran to meet up with Mikaela and Leo then the rest of the group as we talked and think as to where we are and that is when Jetfire told us everything.

"This planet was visited by our race once before, by our earliest ancestors, millennia ago. They were on an exploratory mission to harvest Energon, the lifeblood of our race. Without it, we'll all perish, oxidize and rust, like my wretched self! Do you have any idea what it's like to slowly fall apart and die?" Jetfire asked

"Let's not get episodic, okay, old-timer? Beginning, middle, end. Facts. Details. Condense. Plot. Tell it." Simmons asked

"Somewhere buried in this desert, our ancestors built a great machine. It harvests Energon by destroying suns." Jetfire answered"Destroy suns? You mean blow them up?" We asked

"Yes. You see, in the beginning, there were seven Primes, our original leaders. And they set out into the universe, seeking distant suns to harvest. The Primes set out with one rule, never destroy a planet with life, until one of them tried to defy this rule. And his name forevermore was the Fallen. He despised the human race and he wanted to kill you all by turning on that machine. The only way to activate it is with a legendary key called the Matrix of Leadership. A great battle took place over possession of the Matrix. The Fallen was stronger than his brothers, so they had no choice but to steal and hide it from him. In the ultimate sacrifice, they gave their lives to seal the Matrix away in a tomb made of their very own bodies, a tomb we cannot find. Somewhere, buried in this desert, that deadly machine remains. The Fallen knows where it is and if he finds the tomb of the Primes, your world will be no more." Jetfire explained
