Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Page #8

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?

Bugger!

Behold the eternal glory

of Jetfire!

Prepare

for a systems' override.

I tell you, this guy

did not age well.

- He either heard it.

- Command these doors to open.

Fire!

Oh, I said, fire!

Bollocks.

Break that,

these worthless--

Wait a second.

Itching, wretching,

rust in my arse.

Oh, the museum's gonna be

very angry.

Very angry.

We gotta catch that plane!

I'm on a mission.

- W-wait, wait!

- Wait, wait, wait.

- Hey!

- What do you want?

Look,

we just want to talk!

I've no time to talk,

I'm on a mission!

I'm a mercenary goon-bringer.

- What planet am I on?

- Earth.

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?

- The Decepticons.

Well, I changed sides

to the Autobots.

What do you mean,

"changed sides"?

It's a choice.

It's intensely personal decision.

So much negativity.

Who wants to live a life

filled with hate?

Meaning you don't have

to work for those

miserable,

freaking Decepticons?

If they set on their way,

they destroy the whole Universe.

I'm changing sides,

I'm changing sides, Warrior Goddess!

- Who's your little Autobot?

- Oh you cutes.

Name's Wheelie.

Say my name,

say my name!

What are you allowing

to happen to your foot just now?

At least he's faithful, Sam.

Yeah, well, he's faithful,

and he's nude and he's perverted.

Can you just--

Can you stop?

- Hey, what are you doing?

- ...I don't wanna argue it.

What were you saying?

I told you

my name was Jetfire!

Wow, someone sh*t in the bed

this morning?

Pretty stout

with my mother.

My ancestors have been here

for centuries.

My father, one was a wheel!

The first wheel!

- Do you know what he transformed into?

- No.

Nothing!

But he did so with honor, dignity and--

My boosters are fried.

I thought

we could help each other.

You know things I don't know.

I know things you don't know.

- I do.

- I don't think he knows anything.

Honestly, I don't know.

These vivid symbols,

they're symbols

but they are 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.

He's always apocalypse, chaos...

His suspects,

they were a part of my mission

the Fall and Search,

I remember now.

Of a dagger's tip

and the key!

Slow down.

The dagger's tip, the key,

- what are you talking about?

- No time to explain.

Hold on, everybody!

Well, that wasn't so bad.

I was overseeing

the wrong planet.

Hey, that frickin' hurt!

Oh, my God!

Oh, God!

Oh, my God! You beautiful face,

this will be a perfect moment.

Except you landed

on my testicles.

Please get off!

My balls!

Sam!

- Where are we? Simmons!

- Hey! Yeah!

Oh, my God.

What is this?

It's Vegas!

- You guys okay?

- Yeah!

Hey! I think

we're in Vegas!

That really, really hurts.

You're just lucky

that I didn't get hurt.

People could've gotten killed, okay?

And if I would have gotten hurt,

- you would have heard from--

- Oh, shut up!

I told you

I was opening the space bridge.

It's the fastest way

to travel to Egypt.

What did you tell us?

You didn't tell us anything!

You didn't tell us anything.

Why are we in Egypt?

Don't you dare

slip in with me, fleshwing.

- You would do the informed.

- Can you just stop for a second?

Can you focus?

Can you tell us why we're in Egypt

so we can all have a little bit

assemblance and peace of mind?

This planet was visited

by our race once before

by our earliest ancestors

a millenium ago.

They were on an exploratory mission

to harvest Energon,

the life blood

of our race.

Without it, we'll all perish,

oxidize and rust,

let my wretched self.

Do you have any idea what is

like a slowly fall of parton die?

Let's not get episodic, okay?

Old-timer.

Beginning, middle, end.

Facts, details, condense, plot, tell it.

Somewhere buried in this desert,

our ancestors built a great machine.

It harvests Energon

by destroying suns.

- Destroy suns?

- You mean blow them up?

Yes. You see, in the beginning,

there were seven Primes,

our original leaders.

And they set out in 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, for ever more,

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 who was

stronger at his will did,

surrendered 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.

Okay so how do we stop it?

Only a Prime

can defeat the Fallen.

Optimus Prime?

So you met a Prime?

You must have met

a great descendant.

Is he alive?

Here?

On this planet?

He sacrificed himself

to save me.

So he's dead.

Without a Prime,

it's impossible.

No one else

could stop the Fallen.

So the same energy that's going

to be used to reactivate the machine...

Could that energy somehow be used

to reactivate Optimus

and bring him

back to life?

It was never designed

for that purpose,

but it's an energy,

like no other.

So then how do you get us to the Matrix

before the Decepticons get to me?

Follow your mind, your map,

your symbols,

what you got in the sand,

it's your bloom.

When dawn alights

the Dagger's tip,

three kings will reveal

the doorway.

Find the doorway!

Go now, go!

That was my mission.

It's your mission now.

Go before

the Decepticons find me

and find you.

That was

my CIA contact.

Says Ancient Sumerian used to call

the Gulf of Aqaba

- the Dagger's Tip.

- That's the dagger's tip.

- It's part of the Red Sea.

- Got it.

It divides Egypt and Jordan

like the tip of a blade.

There it is.

Okay, first thing we gotta do

is get Optimus to Dagger's Tip.

How are you gonna get him

halfway around the world?

We're gonna make a call.

We got the cops.

I can't go to prison, guys!

Sam, you gotta get off

this road and lay low.

Man, they'll pick up.

This is just called

blending in like a ninja.

How about I'll lay my piss

in your face?

They're gone.

Wait another time.

How are you gonna make

the call to Lennox?

You are in the worldwide. What,

they're gonna tranquil in one base?

They'll track you here

in seconds.

CIA is all over this place.

You're gonna call?

Okay,

that's--that's a good idea.

- Alright?

- I mean I just was...
