Jetstream: A Transformers Story

The Humans prepared a trailer in which Sentinel and the pillars would be loaded on. Mearing had already giving directives to the soldiers there to confiscate the pillars and lock it up in the safe at the N.E.S.T base upon arrival. The Xantium landed and the trailers was brought up, Jetstream and Optimus hooked up Sentinels body to the trailer while Ratchet carefully placed the pillars into crates brought by the humans. They departed Florida with no time to waste with Optimus eager to reunite with his master.

The three arrived Washington at night and with out a moment to spare, began to prepare for Sentinel's revival.

"How are you going to revive him?" Lennox asked.

"With the Matrix of Leadership" Optimus answered.

"The Matrix of Leadership huh" he said stroking his chin. "Isn't that the thing Sam used to revive you?"

"Indeed it is. It is the only thing in the universe capable of repowering a transformers spark" said Ratchet.

Lennox nodded. "You may proceed"

They got Sentinel placed in a private bay with soldiers on standby in case things got out of hand. Mearing was also present while the crates were secretly moved to the safe. The others Autobots waited in the parking bay until Optimus was done but as always in this universe, nothing goes according to plan. Over the speakers, the Autobots heard a boy yelling Bumblebee's name.

"Bee!!! Is Bee in there?!!!!!" Sam yelled before he was pinned down on the ground by the soldiers.

Bumblebee wasted no time as he recognized the voice immediately and sped off to his friends rescue.

"How's your car now" a soldier taunted.

In the twinkle of an eye, Bee arrived, transforming and flipping over the fence causing sparks to fly and the soldiers to move back while Sam remained unfazed. Bumblebee told them to back of with aggressive whirs and even him threatening to hit them.

"Now that's my car" Sam told the soldier.

"Come here" Sam said.

"Sam" Bee said trying to persuade him not to do this.

"Come here" he said not willing to change his stance.

"I know your black ops stuff is important to you, I'm not trying to diminish it or guilt trip you it's just that I don't see you anymore. You can't come to the garage just one night to hang out?" Sam asked. It had been too long since they had seen each other.

"Sam...that...makes me...feel bad..." he said alternating voices while covering his face.

"Well, yeah, I hope you feel bad. You should feel bad. Look at the jalopy I'm driving now. I feel bad every single day"

"Yo let's go both of ya. Lennox wants to see you" said a soldier.

Sam and Carly walked into the base were they met the arrogant Mearing and a very heated conversation before going to join the others in the revival of Sentinel Prime.

Lennox stood with Mearing behind protective glass as the resurrection was about to begin.

"Sentinel Prime. These things run on Energon, and he's out of it. He's in a... sort of sleep mode" Lennox said.

"Let us begin" Optimus said walking up to Sentinel Prime. He soon revealed the Matrix of leadership from within his chest as it opened up to allow it come forth.

"That's' the great Matrix of Leadership. He holds the only thing in the universe that can re-power a Transformer's spark" Lennox explained.

"This is incredible" Carly remarked seeing how Optimus handled the Matrix.

Optimus walked up to Sentinel with the Matrix ready to hit his spark. "Sentinel Prime, we bid you return" Prime moved his hand towards the center of his chest as the Matrix made contact with Sentinel's spark.

It sent power through his body as he began to jerk and move about as if he was convulsing before groans were heard and then he lunged at Optimus pinning him to the ground with his blade placed on Prime's head. The Autobots transformed and rushed to their leaders aid with Jetstream and Bumblebee readying their weapons for contact.

"Hold you fire!" Lennox yelled knowing that his men could engage in efforts to protect Optimus.

"Sentinel... ugh" Optimus said with a grown as he tried to break free. Sentinel replied in Cybertronian.

"Stop! Sentinel! It is I- Optimus- Prime!" he said and that seemed to snap something straight in his head. as he eased off him.

"It is all right. You are safe" he added as the rest of the rest of the Autobots arrived behind him with Jetstream and Bumblebee ready to attack with their weapons.

"There's nothing to fear" Ratchet said as they put down their weapons.

"We are here. You are home Sentinel" said Optimus.

"Isn't that Deathstrike?!" Sentinel said with hostility in his voice as he turned to look at them.

"Yes but he's on our side now" Optimus said quickly before things got out of hand as Jetstream and Bumblebee retracted their weapons.

"The war.... the war!" Sentinel said.

"The war was lost" Optimus said picking up the Matrix and standing to his feet. "Cybertron is now but a barren wasteland. We have taken refuge here, on planet Earth. It's human race is our ally" Optimus said giving him a quick update on all that has happened so far.

"My ship! We came under fire. The pillars. Where are the pillars?"

"You saved five of them, including the control pillar"

"Only five? We once had hundreds" said the older Prime.

"Excuse me gentlemen. May I ask... what is this technology you're looking for?" Mearing butted in.

"It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a Space Bridge, I designed, and I alone can control it. It defies your laws of physics to transport matter through time and space" Sentinel explained.

"You're talking about a teleportation device, aren't you"

"Yes, for resources, for refugees" Optimus answered.

"Refugees, or soldiers, or troops of soldiers, weapons, maybe bombs!"

"This woman really ticks me off" Jet said with an annoyed tone.

"A means of an instant strike! That's it's military function isn't it?"

"It is our technology and it must be returned" Sentinel said.

"Yes. If humans say so! You can't just bring weapons of mass destruction into our atmosphere! Kind of have to clear customs first. A little formality called paperwork, kind of separates us from the animals"

"Give me the word and I'll splatter her. How dare she talk in such a rude tone to a Prime" Jet said as his cannon appeared on his right arm.

Prime lifted his arm telling him to take it easy. "Easy Jet"

"I will overlook your condescending tone if you heed the gravity of mine. The Decepticons must never know the Space Bridge is here, For in their hands, it would mean the end of your world" Sentinel warned.

Sam was sent home with Bumblebee as protection against Decepticons and we all know how ticked off he was about that. He was spurred on to call in Agent Simmons as he was able to convince him into coming with the juice of the entire story.

Optimus and Sentinel were over in the country side viewing a mountain scape in the early hours as the sun rose.

"This planet, so peaceful, so majestic. Unlike Cybertron in it's final days" Sentinel said.

"I've wondered what might have been, if you had fought the final battle, instead of me" said Optimus.

"Never mourn the past, young warrior. Thanks to you... our race survives"

Optimus opened his chest bringing out the Matrix of Leadership and holding it out to Sentinel as he went down on one knee.

"You were our leader, Sentinel. It is your right to lead us again" Said Optimus.

"In a world I do not know. I am no longer your teacher, you are mine" Sentinel said as he held Optimus' palm and moved it back to him.

Optimus returned the Matrix back to his chest as the two caught up on lost time.
