Tears stream down my face as I watch them freeze Bee and haul him off. As we begin to drive away. I start to twist my hands to break free of the cuffs, glaring at the back of there heads hopping it will explode. Mikaela notices and leans over to me
"Don't break them, yet. They know where Bee is." I stop twisting and look at her. I wipe my tears off on my shoulders and let them drive us wherever.
Maybe 2 hours later, they end up loading us on a helicopter along with 2 other people. I begin to take deep breathes as they strap us in. 'DON"T CRASH! Huh? it's funny I'm thinking of this now and not when I was with the Autobots...funny.' A chubby African American man and a young blonde woman. To break the silence the blonde lady asks
"So... What'd they get you for?"
'She's Australian.'
"I bought a car.Turned out to be an alien robot." Sam answers with a fake smile. The African American man looks at us before turning to the lady mouthing 'Wow.' I fake a small smile lifting my arms and shrugging my shoulders
"Who knew!?" After that the rest of the ride was pretty silent. We end up landing in Nevada, before they placed us back in black SUV's. We made pit stops along the way for bathroom breaks and food. The men in suits payed for everything which was pretty nice. I was half tempted to give them my Christmas list. A few hours later, we ended up in Clark County, where the Hoover Dam is. They stop and let us get out. Sam, Mikaela and I get out and look at the sight before us. The heat was pretty nice. It felt like it's been ages since I've felt it. I smile as I admire the view of the dam. they lead us to a set of stairs and a bridge lower to the Hoover Dam. That's when we see that Sector Seven agent. He comes up to us and pats Sam on his shoulder starting by saying
"I think we got off to a bad start, huh?" 'YA DON"T THINK!?' I mentally scream to myself giving him my best bitch face.
"You must be hungry? You want a latte? HoHo?Double venti macchiato?" The agent continues desperately trying to not bring up the past. Sam shrugs his hand off of him
"Where's my car?" Sam fires off. The agent sighs, as another man in a suit comes up next to us
"Son, I need you to listen to mevery carefully. People can die here. We need to know everything you know.We need to know it now." Sam nods processing all the information before looking up at the man and saying
"Okay. But first, I'll take my car, my parents.Maybe you should write that down. Oh, and both of there juvie records.That's got to be gone. Like, forever." We both look at Sam in surprise.
"Sam." I mumble out tears welling in my eyes. The man looks at all 3 of us and starts
"Come with me.We'll talk about your car."
"Thank you." Mikaela says to Sam with a smile on her face. The 3 of us catch up to the rest of the group as they lead us along a bridge
"All right, here's the situation. You've all had direct contactwith the NBEs." I tilt my head in confusion, another man in the army asks
"NBEs?"
"Non-Biological Extraterrestrials.Try and keep up with the acronyms." The Sector Seven agent mutters annoyed. The lead us through a dark damp tunnel before we see light and scientists working. There was a Transformer, but he was different. 'A Decepticon.' Another man speaks up as we continue to come closer to the Decepticon
"What you're about to seeis totally classified." A man in a suit and tie steps forward eyes widen with curiosity
"Dear God. What is this?" The man goes on to continue to explain
"We think when he made his approachover the north pole, our gravitational field screwed uphis telemetry. He crashed in the ice,probably a few thousand years ago. We shipped him here to this facilityin 1934." Our eyes wander around the Decepticon in fear and amazement. I step next to another army man named Lennox. The Sector Seven agent finishes
"We call him NBE One." Sam and I look at each other with a smirk on our faces, I step forward a little more with my eyes glued to the Decepticon
"Well, sir, I don't mean to correct youon everything you think you know, but, I mean, that's Megatron."
"He's the leader of the Decepticons." Sam steps by me as we explain.
"He's been in cryostasis since 1935." The man with a mustache states before continuing looking at Sam
"Your great-great-grandfather madeone of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind." The Sector Seven agent turns to us with his arms behind his back
"Fact is, you're looking atthe source of the modern age, the microchip, lasers, spaceflight, cars,all reverse-engineered by studying him." His eyes land on Sam and I before he walks closer to Sam with a glare
"NBE-" before he turns to me and says
"One."
"That's what we call it." He says looking up at everyone in the group. The older White man in a suit and tie fires out
"And you didn't think the United Statesmilitary might need to know that you're keeping a hostile alien robotfrozen in the basement?" As he takes a step closer to Megatron
'He is pissed.'
"Until these events, we had nocredible threat to national security." The man with a mustache answers bluntly.
"Well, you got one now." The man sates walking towards the back of the group.
"So why Earth?" Lennox asks while looking up at Megatron.
"It's the All Spark." Sam starts.
"All Spark? What is that? The gentleman in the suit and tie asks squinting his eyes looking at Sam.
"Well, yeah, they came here lookingfor some sort of cube-looking thing."
"Anyway, Mr. NBE One here, AKAMegatron, that's what they call him," I state as I walk closer to the Sector Seven agent a smirk on my face.
"who's pretty much the harbingerof death, wants to use the Cube to transform human technologyto take over the universe." Sam finishes looking up at Megatron still with amazement.
"That's their plan." I finish looking up at Megatron. The suit and tie guys looks at us both and asks
"And you're sure about that?" I nod as Sam responds
"Yeah."
"You know where it is, don't you?" I ask looking at the Agents.
"Follow me."
"You're about to see our crown jewel. Carbon dating puts the Cube here around 10,000 BC. The first Seven didn't find it until 1913." The man with a moustache explains as he leads us to a room with windows to see a huge cube in the corner outside the room we were in.
"They knew it was alien because ofthe matching hieroglyphics on the Cube as well as NBE One. President Hoover had the dam builtaround it. Four football fields thick of concrete.A perfect way to hide its energyfrom being detected by anyone or any alien species on the outside."
"Wait, back up. You saidthe dam hides the Cube's energy. What kind of energy?" The Australian lady asks gazing off in thought.
"Good question." The man states. He ushers us to another room with a transparent box and 2 men guarding it.
"Please step inside.They have to lock us in."
"Oh, wow." The chubby African American sighs out looking at the wall with scratches on it. Another army man named Epps walked up to it, eying it up and down while saying
"What's that? Freddy Krueger donebeen up in here or something?" The chubby man responds
"Oh, no, man. Freddy Krueger have four blades, man.That's only three. That's Wolverine!" before laughing . The agent gives him a dirty look saying
"That's very funny." As he goes around giving us eye goggles he asks
Anybody have any mechanical devices?BlackBerry? Key alarm? Cell phone?" We all dig in our pockets, but stop when the chubby man tosses it to the agent. He catches it and walks over to the box placing the phone inside.
"Nokias are real nasty. You've got to respect the Japanese.They know the way of the samurai." We all put on our goggles and step closer to the box. The Australian women whispers to the man in the suit and tie
"Nokia's from Finland." The man responds
"Yes, but he's, you know, a little strange.He's a little strange." The machine gives it a jolt of electricity.
"We're able to take the Cube radiationand funnel it into that box." The phone, then transforms into a little robot or and evil scorpion in a way. It starts to shoot the box and bang on it. We all jump back in surprise.
"Mean little sucker, huh?" The agent states as he watches the machine with a tilted smile on his face.
"That thing is freaky!" The Australian women states loudly in surprise.
"Kind of like the itty-bittyEnergizer Bunny from hell, huh? He's breaking the box." The agent says as he shoots it with electricity killing it. We all take off our goggles and stare at the smoking corpse. The lights start to flicker and we all look up as we hear a loud groaning and screeching noise from above.
"Gentlemen, they know the Cube is here." The suit and tie man states looking at all of us. My heart beats so hard I can feel it in the back of my throat.
"Banachek. What's going on?" The mustache man asks as he slams his hand on a button with a microphone on it.
"Well, the NBE One hangarhas lost power...and the backup generator is just not gonna cut it." The man on the intercom explains.
Lennox asks "Do you have an arms room?" They glance at eachother before thye run out and the man in the mustache shouts
"Get everyone tothe NBE One chamber now!" I grab Sam and Mikaela by their wrists and take off towards the chamber, Lennox and Epps catch up to me as we run. We find an arms room and the men in the army grab weapons.
"Forty millimeter sabot roundson that table!" A man states as he lays out weapons. I walk over to an area with gun holsters and strap 2 onto my thighs and 1 on my hip and pick up 2 semiautomatic pistols. I check the magazine to make sure they're loaded. Once I do I rack the slide pressing it firmly and hold it in place while briskly pushing the frame forward with my firing hand. I push the safety off and slide them in the holster's on my thighs. 'I'm glad I learned how to use these.' I walk over to find a small backpack and I do and I start to load it with ammo for the semi automatic pistols. I look over to see Lennox and Epps staring at me as they load up. I grab a Baretta and do the same to it as the other guns and slide it on my hip. I walk around to find ammo.
"That's good. Get all the ammo you got.Everything you can carry. Bring it." Lennox shouts to his men and me. Sam and Mikaela watch me. The lights flicker off, before they turn back on. Sam walks his way to the Sector Seven man as he loads his weapon.
"You got to take me to my car.You have to take me to my car. He's gonna know what to dowith the Cube."
"Your car? It's confiscated." He says firmly loading his weapon.
"Then unconfiscate it." Sam states. Once I find the Baretta ammo I walk over to Sam to back him up. the man continues
"We do not know what will happenif we let it near this thing! You don't know. Maybe you know, but I don't know." I put my hands up to my face and say angrily as I slam my hand on the table
"You just wanna sit here and waitand see what happens?"
"I have people's lives at stake here!" The man shouts at me. Lennox grabs him by his collar and slams him on the table
"Take us to his car!" The agent men start pointing there weapons at us. Lennox points his gun at the agent close to us and gives him a glare, while his men disarm the other agents by hitting them or pointing they're weapons at them. the man in the moustache shouts
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Drop your weapon, soldier."
"There's an alien war going onand you're gonna shoot me?" The Sector Seven man asks cockily.
"You know, we didn't ask to be here." I state looking at the agent Lennox was holding down.
"I'm ordering you under S-Sevenexecutive jurisdiction." Sector Seven says looking up at Lennox.
"Seven don't exist." Lennox says pointing his weapon at the man held down. Epps spoke up
"Right. And we don't take ordersfrom people that don't exist."
"I'm gonna count to five. Okay." I facepalm myself and pull out my Baretta cocking it and pointing it at the man's throat
"Well, I'm gonna count to three." Lennox glances at me while he still has his weapon pointed. Sam and Mikaela watch frozen, afraid that if they move they might get shot.
"Simmons?" The man with a suit and tie asks.
"Yes, sir?" He asks as sweat pours from his face.
"I'd do what he says. Losing's reallynot an option for these guys."
"All right. Okay. Hey, you want to lay the fate of theworld on the kid's Camaro? That's cool." Lennox loosens his grip as him and I put away our weapons giving him room to stand up. He then leads us to the room they were keeping Bee. There were men spraying him with some cryogenic freezing stuff. He was making loud whirs, as to scream and pain.
"No, no!" I shout running to Bee and pushing the men's weapons down and make my way towards Bee.
"Stop! You got to stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! No, no, stop, stop, stop!Let him go! Let him go!" Sam and everyone orders the men.
"Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, right?" I ask taking his metal digits in my small hands. He looks at me and sits up a little before looking at Sam and Mikaela. My heart beats faster and faster as tears well up in my eyes, relieves to see that Bee is still a live. Bee looks at me and puts his battle mask on and shifts his other arm into a weapon. Sam and Mikaela come closer to us as Sam explains.
"Listen to me. The Cube is hereand the Decepticons are coming." Bee keeps pointing his weapon at the other men. I take his metal and bring it to my face, pressing little kisses on them saying
"No, no, don't worry about them.They're okay. Right? They're not gonna hurt you." He looks at me and gives me a happy whir. Sam turns to the people behind us
"Just back up a little bit.He's friendly. He's fine."
"Okay, come on. Put the guns down.They're not gonna hurt you." I say softly to Bee. He moves his mask and shifts his weapon back into an arm. I back up a little so he can stand up. He looks down at us as Sam says
"Here, come with me.I'm gonna take you to the All Spark." Bee nods and follows us as we head to the Allspark. Bee stays close to me, as if to protect me. Once we make it to the room, Bee walks right up to it and raises both of his arms to touch it. When he does a light blue spreads throughout the cube.
"Okay, here we go. He doing something.He doing something." Epps says as he backs up a little. We all watch in awe as it folds itself to get smaller and smaller.
"Oh, my God." Mikaela whispers in amazement bringing her hands to her face.
"Message from Starfleet, Captain." Bee tunes in holding the cub in his hands looking towards the men.
"Let's get to it." Simmons shouts.
"He's right. We stay here, we're screwedwith Megatron in the other hangar." Lennox says walking closer to us looking all around.
"Mission City is 22 miles away. We're gonna sneak that Cubeout of here and we're gonna hide it somewherein the city." Lennox says forming a plan.
"Good! Right." The suit and tie man says liking the plan.
"But we cannot make a standwithout the Air Force." Lennox finishes.
"This place must have some kindof radio link!" The man says looking at Simmons. Simmons stares at the man wide-eyed
"There's an old Army radio console."
"Will it work?" I ask. Simmons looks to me and says
"Anything's possible!"
"Find a way to contact them." I say as Sam, Mikaela, Bee, Lennox's troops and I walk out. Leaving the others to find a way to contact the Air force. Bee transforms into the Camaro.
"All right, Sam, get it in the car! Mr. Secretary! Get our birds in the air. When we get to the city,we're gonna find a radio, and I'll have Epps vector them in, okay?" Lennox shouts to us.
"Affirmative!" His men respond. Bee opens the door for Sam, Mikaela and I. Sam and Mikaela enter through the passenger as I sit in the driver's seat. Bee buckles me in and gives me a happy whir. Bee starts up and pulls out of the building we were in, along with Lennox and his men in army vehicles following us. Sam turns to Mikaela
"The Cube's okay?" Mikaela turns herself around and checks the cube.
"Yeah, it's fine." I keep my eyes on the road and say
"Put the seat belt on it." Afraid it might fly out or something. As we head down the road we see Optimus and the other Autobots driving opposite of us. I stick my head out the window and wave my hand
"Hey!!" They see us and immediately turn around to follow us.
'Here we go.'
