Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Page #4

Synopsis: A youth chooses manhood. The week Sam Witwicky starts college, the Decepticons make trouble in Shanghai. A presidential envoy believes it's because the Autobots are around; he wants them gone. He's wrong: the Decepticons need access to Sam's mind to see some glyphs imprinted there that will lead them to a fragile object that, when inserted in an alien machine hidden in Egypt for centuries, will give them the power to blow out the sun. Sam, his girlfriend Mikaela Banes, and Sam's parents are in danger. Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are Sam's principal protectors. If one of them goes down, what becomes of Sam?

Huh?

There's a car on the run.

[SONG:
Burn It To The Ground

BAND:
Nickleback]

What are you doing?

Houston,

we have a problem.

- What is it?

- Freshman!

- Yeah.

- Is that your car on our bushes?

No, there's a friend of mine

who just went to a...

who went to get you

a tighter shirt.

There isn't a tighter shirt.

We checked.

Now how about

I park my foot in your ass?

What size shoe

do you wear?

- Yeah, oh, you ain't--

- Hold on, hold-- Whoa!

Are you--Are you trying?

I'm gonna back it up

right now.

Get it out of here.

You have a ride?

Bro, why you holding

onto us?

I've only known you

This is gonna really

change our lives.

You have no idea.

I love Camaros.

- I can't do this right now, okay?

- Don't be a wimp.

Oh, God.

- My first car was my Dad's money 2Z-28.

- Yeah?

Fuel-injected.

The roar of the engine.

It just, tickles me.

We shouldn't, uh, stare...

I mean, share stories...

to each other

at all.

What're you becoming, Sam?

Just one ride...

[SONG:
Your Cheatin' Heart

[SONG:

COMPOSER:

Don't. Don't.

[SONG:
Super Freak

ARTIST:
Rick James]

Is your radio broke?

- No, my car's iteration is.

- We're not cheating.

Not yet.

Something wrong here?

Ow! Oh, God!

You okay?

I really don't know

what to tell you,

this car--

It just has a lot of problems.

A lot of prob--

Oh, God.

Oh, it's in my mouth. Oh...

Are you okay?

I got wetnaps.

I got wetnaps for your face.

Hold on.

I'm so sorry!

What are you doing?

You won't give me

a day, huh?

- You won't give me one day in college.

- I'm sorry, Sam.

But the last fragment

of the All-Spark was stolen.

Like what?

Like Decepticon-stolen?

We placed it under human protection

at your government's request.

But I'm here

for your help, Sam.

Because your leaders believed

we brought vengeance upon your planet.

Perhaps,

they are right.

That is why they must be

reminded by another human

of the trust we share.

- This isn't my war.

- Not yet.

But I fear

it soon will be.

Your world must not share

the same fate as Cybertron.

Whole generations lost.

I know and I-I want

to help you. I do.

But I'm not

some alien ambassador.

You know, I'm a normal kid

with normal problems.

I am where

I'm supposed to be.

I'm sorry, I--

I really am.

Sam, fate rarely calls upon us

at a moment of our choosing.

You're Optimus Prime.

You don't need me.

We do...

more than you know.

North Atlantic,

USS Topeka SSN-754

New contact, bearing 214

and possible hostile

confirmed for

Project Beat Six drop-point.

- What you got?

- Sue, pull five contacts.

There's something.

They dive that deep, that fast.

- Man battle stations.

- Sealer One, man battle stations.

Hell, not pull the rudder

or head two-thirds.

Dive, Cookie.

The NEST protecting NBE-1

are screening, sir.

That is 9,300 fathoms down.

- And no confirmed DSRVs on sight?

- None, sir.

Then, people,

we've got a problem.

Kill such little one.

Sea shard, make Energon.

Prime sonar now holds six contacts

and they're coming up fast.

Man collisional arm...

...are 500 feet.

Let's get out of here.

Angel Six,

we got six hostiles

coming down.

- Collision imminent. Portside--

- 100 feet.

Brace for impact.

Starscream, I'm home.

Behold, Megatron,

I was so relieved

to hear of your...

resurrection.

You left me to die,

you pathetic insect!

Only to help

spawn our new army,

the Fallen decreased it,

after all, in your absence,

someone had

to take command.

You...

are so disappointing.

Even in death,

there's no command but mine.

My master,

I failed you on Earth.

The All-Spark is destroyed,

and without it,

our race will perish.

You have much to learn,

my disciple.

The Cube

is merely a vessel.

It's power, it's knowledge

can never be destroyed.

It can only transform.

- How is that possible?

- It has been absorbed

by the human child.

The key to saving our race

now lies within his mind.

Well then, let me strip

the very flesh from his body.

And you will,

my apprentice.

In time. For millenia,

I have dreamed of my return

to that wretched planet,

where I too was once betrayed,

by the Primes

I call my brothers.

Only a Prime can defeat me,

and now only one remains.

Optimus.

He protects the boy.

Then the boy

will lead us to him

- and revenge will be ours.

- Yes.

The boy will not escape us.

We have him in our sights.

Without more Energon,

hatchlings will keep dying.

Space, time, gravity.

- Thank you.

- 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.

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 diamond,

filled with a throbbing,

savage and hemped-up energy.

Behold the work of

Albert Einstein,

a professor once,

like moi,

- energy, in its mass temp--

- What are you doing?

Put your hand down,

put your hand down.

Young man,

there are no questions

until I've reached

the climax of my lecture.

I've just finished your book.

There's only one problem.

Einstein's wrong.

Energy doesn't go

mass times velocity light square

in this dimension.

What about the other 17

while we're impossible

to give 17?

A clear example:

Come on, guys,

I can't be the only one in class--

Young man, I will not be punked

in front of the dean.

No, this is my universe here.

Do you understand?

I am the Alpha

and the Omega.

- Get out of my class.

- Yes, sir.

Any one else care to have

some sort of mental breakdown?

Hi, Bones.

Hi!

Hi! Oh yes,

that's a good boy.

Oh, what a good boy,

you are.

Hey, Bones.

You hungry?

Here you go.

- Yes, Samuel.

- Hello? Mikaela.

I can't believe you're gonna

stand me up on our first web chat date.

Something just happened

to me, okay?

- Wait, you finally hit puberty?

- No, no, no,

Stop laughing.

This is serious.

Okay, remember

I was telling you about

my great-great-grandfather,

Archibald Witwicky?

Do you remember?

Watch where you're

supposed to go!

Okay, remember

I was telling you about, okay...

Can you stop...

Watch the foot! Watch your foot!

Mikaela, okay, my great-great-grandfather

went to this 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 wrote a 903-page

Astronomy book at 32.6 seconds

and had a meltdown

in the middle of my class.

I am seeing symbols

ever since I--

- Since what?

- Ever since I touched the Cube sliver.

Do you have it?

No, how about it's in

the shop safe? It's fine.

Mi--Mikaela, do not touch it, okay?

Don't touch it.

I'm not gonna touch it,

Sam, it's fine. It's locked away,
