Chapter 1
Vanished
Cybertron
Life on Cybertron could've been any better. After the fall of Devil Z, Optimus Prime and his team rid the planet of the Decepticons for good. Now Cybertron has become the planet Primus had dreamed it would be. The Golden Era had returned as peace dominated over the once war-stricken planet. With adventure on their mind, the cybertronians resumed their quest to map the universe and build a universal space bridge. On the northern hemisphere of the planet lies the city of Iacon. In the center of the city was the launch pad for the maiden voyage of Primus II, the second ship in the Paladin fleet. Unfortunately it's the only ship in the fleet as Primus I fell to its doom during the purge of the Decepticons.
Unlike his brother, Primus II is highly advance in terms of weaponry and navigation. The ship will plot the map of the universe automatically as the ship cruise through space. To handle the task of mapping the universe, Optimus Prime had employed a crew for the ship with Ultra Magnus as captain. Ultra Magnus was indeed happy took take on the task. Not only it's his job to map the universe but to colonize energon rich planet for living and mining purpose. The ship was load with waves of stasis pod and new sparks for the new habitants of future colonies. To guide the newborn, Optimus opened the opportunity to the public and gain positive results.
The ship's design is similar to the Ark in terms of shape but the size is indeed increased. Ground crew and engineers were wrapping the final touches on the ship as the civilians and crew board the vessel. Ultra Magnus looked at the ship with pride as he was the captain of the fine ship. "Ultra Magnus!" a woman called.
Ultra Magnus looked back and saw Moonracer running up to him. "What's up?" Magnus greeted.
"Tactical officer Moonracer reporting for duty sir," Moonracer saluted but she can't help but to smile.
"Like we need one," Magnus puffed.
"We so do," Moonracer said. "Or did you forget about the band of space pirate that board Fortress Maximus, captured you and had to be rescued by a human."
Ultra Magnus turned red in embarrassment. Elita One and her girls never stopped teasing Ultra Magnus of the incident. "Damn Sideburn can't keep his slagging mouth closed," Magnus snarled.
"But you do know why we need one?" Moonracer asked.
"I couldn't ask for a better person to man the weapons," Magnus said. "Remember to keep this secret mission a secret. I can't let the civilians panic if they know. It will throw Optimus' plan way off track."
"But it's been 3 solarcycles since the incident; do you think we can find her ship?" Moonracer wondered.
"Maybe but we have to," Magnus said. "Optimus is counting on us."
A holo screen appeared in front of Ultra Magnus. "Ultra Magnus, we've been given the green light to launch," X-Brawn reported.
"Time to board," Magnus said.
Control Room
Optimus stood in the middle of the room watching the monitors. He watched as the crew performed their final checks. "This is indeed a fine day on Cybertron," Optimus said with bliss.
"I know," Elita agreed. "I mean, we dreamed of this day to come but we really didn't think it came. Now that it's here, I don't know how to act."
"Sometimes not knowing is the best thing," Optimus said.
"Optimus, we're ready to launch," Magnus radioed.
"Clear the launch pad!" Optimus ordered.
Iacon
Alarm buzzed as the dome opened up. Primus II taxied to the launch lamp. Everyone marveled at the beauty of the ship. The ship made one final turn as it lined up with the ramp. The ramp jolted as it titled the ship to launch position. Arms grasped on to the wheels as the ship detached itself from them. Onboard, uneasiness lingered on the bridge as everyone was excited to launch. "Sideburn, how's the engines?" Magnus asked.
"Prime and ready," Sideburn reported.
"Let's fly," Magnus smiled.
With a push of the button, thrusters ignited as the engines carried the ship up the ramp and into the sky. The launch was televised planet wide. Everyone cheered as Primus II soared through the air. It didn't take long for the ship to reach orbit. On the bridge, Ultra Magnus closed his optics and let out a sigh. "Ultra Magnus, don't tell me that you're sleeping on the job?" Optimus teased.
Ultra Magnus opened his optics and looked at the view. He let out a soft chuckle and stood up. "Relax Prime, I got this," he said.
"Well, I want you to have a safe trip my brother," Optimus wished. "May Primus watch over your journey."
"As he will with yours," Magnus smiled. The screen switched to external camera as Ultra Magnus walked up to Sideburn. "Maximum warp," Magnus ordered.
"To where?" Sideburn wondered.
"Don't know and don't care," Magnus said.
Sideburn scanned the galaxy for any energon-rich planet but he found none. "Oh well," he shrugged. Sideburn entered a random coordinate and set it. Ultra Magnus took his chair and watched the screen. "Ladies and gentleman, this is your captain speaking," he announced. "We are about to embark on a journey through the cosmos. You were chosen because your talents are ideal for this trip. Who know what this trip have in store but to let you know, we are cybertronians from the planet Cybertron. We come in peace. Universe, open your door because we are coming in. We are about to enter warp so hold on to something for the first warp jump. Sideburn…"
"Warp core is steady," Sideburn reported. "Warp drives are online and the warp field is stable. Ready when you are."
"Engage!"
Sideburn activated the warp drive. The warp core hummed as power was supplied to the warp drive. The nacelles glowed with power. With a boom, Primus II entered warp.
Earth
It's a nice summer evening in Metro City as a high school girl ran her daily route before dinner. Sweat glistened on her peach skin as her ponytail bobbed back and forth from each step she made. She wore a track suit to deter any would-be pedophile. With her music blaring and her heart rate up, she was enjoying her run.
She came to a stop at a park to check her heart rate and to rest for a while. Then her phone started to ring. She looked at the caller and answered. "Hi mom," she said.
"Hi sweetie, I'm sorry but I have to work late tonight so don't worry about me."
"Right mom, I know what you're really doing," the daughter hinted.
"Just because I'm single doesn't mean I hop on every piece of meat I find."
"You so do that."
"Look, do you or do you not what to go Europe for next summer?"
"Yes."
"So I have to pull extra shift to help cover it."
"I guess."
"Love you Jen."
"Love you mom."
"And no boys!"
"Mom!" Jen whined.
"I'm worried about you, that's all."
"Okay, see ya tomorrow."
"Bye sweetie." The line closed as Jen put her phone away. She looked at the red sky as she was thinking about dinner. "I guess I can go bug Kim," she said to herself.
So Jen took out her phone and sent Kim a text. 10 seconds later, Jen got a reply. Basically it was Kim stating that she would cook dinner for her. Jen cheered with joy. "If I hurry, I can get the indigents to my favorite dish," Jen said as she salivated from the thought.
After wiping the drool off her mouth, Jen headed for home. As she was jogging, she looked up in the sky and saw a bright star. "Cool," she smiled.
Though it was the brightest thing in the sky, it was getting bigger by the second. "Sweet, it's a meteor," Jen said. Jen was ready to chase it down to claim it as her own. Then her face dropped as the object grew explosively. Jen braced for the pressure wave from the object. It soared over Jen and picked her up off her feet. Cars and trucks flipped, windows shattered and buildings crumbled as the object struck the ground. The impact sent a shockwave that flattened a field just outside the city. Jen rose to her feet wondering what the object was. "I have to get there before everyone does," Jen said.
Jen looked around for a form of transportation she could use and eyed on a hybrid jetcycle. She ran towards the bike and looked for any signs of the rider. "Yonk!" she said as she hopped on the bike. She hotwired the bike and start it up.
"HEY, THAT'S MY BIKE!" the rider shouted as he ran up to his bike.
"Sorry but I'm going to borrow this, thank you!" Jen smiled.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll get off," the rider warned. Jen noticed a handgun aimed at her head. So she willing got off the bike with her hands in the air. "How old are you?" the rider asked.
"22."
The rider had a devious grin on his face. "Since you like my bike, I'll let you ride for a small favor," he hinted.
Jen took the hint and dropped down to one knee. The rider grinned with excitement. "I'm not one for thrills but I'm willing to work with it."
Jen smiled in deceit. With her extended leg, she swept the rider off his feet and landed on his back. Jen entered a handstand and pushed herself in the air. Then she drove her knees into the rider's stomach. The rider coughed up blood from the impact. Jen got up, stole the gun and aimed it at his head. "Careful," Jen warned. "High school girls can be dangerous when backed into a corner. I'll disgrace you by letting you live."
Jen hopped on the bike and rode off. Jen reached triple digit speeds before activating the bikes second function. "TRANSFORM!" she shouted.
Two small jet boosters were deployed and fired. The boosters lifted the bike in the air as the edge of the panels glowed. The bike split open as it pivot around the handle bar then over Jen's shoulder onto her back. The bike rotated 90 degree and folded in half horizontally. The wheels of the bike disconnected from the bike and rolled over the shoulder as the rest of the bike formed a backpack with vents for jet exhaust. "Time to fly!" she said and the jetpack activated and whisked Jen towards the crash site. Jen was certain that she was the only one who saw the crash but to her disliking, she saw a fleet of vehicles underneath heading over to the crash site. "Damn," she hissed. "I have to get rid of them somehow."
So Jen started to think of a strategy. "Where the object crashed is nowhere near any major cities except for Metro City," Jen said to herself. "But there are smaller cities around that area and they have to notice that impact. Whether if it's a rock or not, I have to hide it but how can I when I have eyes coming my way?"
Jen started to think of a way to deter the unwanted eyes. "Got it," she said. She reached inside her pocket and pulled out a chip. "Weapon chip, activate!" Jen called.
The chip was inserted as the jetpack reconfigure for an attack. Jen turned around at the wave of vehicles approaching. The tires peeled back revealing missile heads. "Fire!" Jen shouted.
Missiles flew out of their barrel and destroyed the ground below. Once the smoke cleared, there was a large chasm in the middle of the road. The chasm was too wide for a car to jump. "That should slow them down a bit," Jen giggled and went on her way. "Hyper chip activate!" The vents glowed brighter as Jen amped up the speed.
It didn't take long for Jen to arrive at the crash site. "Good, I'm the first one," Jen said. "Now it's time for a little distraction to turn the public away."
The media arrived at the scene expecting a huge scoop of the century. With the reporters prepped and the camera's ready, they were ready to air their story but there was one tiny problem. There was nothing to report.
"EH!" the reporters gasped. "There's nothing here to report. I wasted my time for trees and animals! BULLSHIT! I'm going home."
As quickly they set up, they packed up and went home. Jen came out from hiding behind a tree with a smile of deception. "Fools," she smiled. "This site is mine."
Jen turned around and walked through a tree. Behind the tree was the object that crashed landed on Earth. Jen marveled at the sight and beamed with pride. "I can't wait to tell to tell Cass," Jen said.
Metro City
In the bedroom of a teenage girl, a cell phone rang to catch the attention of the owner. A door opened as mist bellowed from the bathroom. "Ah, that was refreshing," the girl sighed.
The girl was drying her hair as she emerged from her relaxing bath. She heard her phone rang and it drew her attention. She raised her towel high enough for her light brown eyes to see. "Who's calling me at this hour?" she complained.
She walked up to her nightstand and held her phone. She saw who it was and scoffed. She accepts the call as she flipped her thick black hair to the side. "What?" she answered.
"How rude?"
"I'm sorry Jen, let me try that again. What the hell do you want?"
"Talk about being a royal class bitch," Jen muttered.
"I heard that!"
"Anyways, I have something to tell you Cassie."
"Let me guess, you peeped in Greg's bedroom again and caught him undressing," Cassie said.
"Well that would be nice but that's not the point," Jen said. "Today, while I was jogging, I saw a U.F…"
*click*
"I don't have time for nonsense," Cassie hissed. Cassie threw her phone on the bed and sat in front of her mirror. She wrapped the towel around her neck as she turned on the vanity lights. Cassie examined skin and frowned. "Crap, I'm getting darker," she complained.
Cassie had light rich caramel skin. As it is, she didn't need to get lighter at all. She grabbed her brush and started brushing her hair. The phone rang again as Cassie looked over her shoulder. She grabbed the phone from her bed and answered it. "Hello," she greeted.
"Rude!" Jen fumed.
"That wasn't rude booboo, this is rude," Cassie smiled and hung up.
The phone rang again and Cassie rolled her eyes as she picked it up. "OH!" Jen shrieked.
"What do you want?" Cassie wondered.
"I had something important to tell you and you have the nerves to hang up on my face, I thought you taught you better than that," Jen said.
"You didn't teach me squat," Cassie said.
"Anyways, I saw a UFO."
"Bullshit."
"True shit," Jen said. "If you bring Tyler with you tomorrow, I'll show you."
"Not interested," Cassie sighed.
"We could be rich," Jen sang.
"How much are we talking about?" Cassie wondered.
"How about set for life?"
"I'm down."
"See you tomorrow?"
"I guess."
"Sweet, you won't be disappointed."
Cassie hung up the phone and looked in the mirror. "Something tells me that this is a BAD idea," she grumbled to herself.
Next morning…
Cassie sat the breakfast table have a bowl of cereal before leaving for school. She was enjoying her peaceful morning. So far, she wasn't late and she had no distractions to make her late….
"YOO-HOO!" a voice called.
"Oh no!" Cassie cringed.
The backdoor swung open as Jen walked into the kitchen. "Morning Cass," Jen greeted.
"Morning Jen," Cassie greeted.
"Ready to go?" Jen asked.
"What? No story to tell this morning?"
"Nope," Jen said as she picked up a banana and started peeling it.
"Who are you?" Cassie wondered.
"Your best friend."
Then a young boy walked into the kitchen and noticed Jen having a banana. "Don't you have food at home?" he asked.
"I do but I won't be able to see your face in the morning my sweet Tyler," Jen said.
"Don't call me that," Tyler said. Tyler is Cassie's little brother. He's pretty much the male version of Cassie with minor difference. "So sis, did Dad called yet?" Tyler wondered.
"He's coming in this afternoon," Cassie said.
"And Mom?"
"Haven't heard from her yet but I believe she's coming in next week. Do you miss them?"
"I do but Dad has his business trip and Mom is on her much needed vacation so it's for the best for them."
Jen walked up to Tyler and put his head on her chest. "That's it my child, cry out your tears," Jen said.
"I'm sorry and please don't take this wrong way but my sister have better boobs than you," Tyler said.
"OH!" Jen shrieked. "Just so you know, I'm a full B."
"She's a C," Tyler boasted.
"TJ, that's information is not need to be shared," Cassie scolded.
"Sorry sis but you're so comfortable to lean on."
"True," Cassie smiled.
"Fine, pick on me then," Jen fumed. "So did you tell your brother?"
"About what?" Tyler wondered.
"Jen found a UFO last night and she wants us to tag along," Cassie said.
"Finally," Tyler said. "There's something that makes this town more interesting. I'm getting sick and tired of hearing these rumors that robots from space visited the planet and landed here in Metro City. So when are we going?"
"After school," Jen said.
"Ooh, I have track."
"Skip it," Jen said. "We'll come and get you."
"Please don't," Tyler pleaded.
"Why not, I'm fun and cute."
"Sis, promise me that she won't come to my school," Tyler begged.
"She won't," Cassie promised.
"Oh by the way, though Cassie is older, TJ is taller," Jen pointed out.
"Only by five inches," Tyler said. "I'm still growing so it's only natural."
"Yeah but older siblings are suppose to be taller."
"How dumb can you really get?" Cassie said.
Jen smiled and stuck out her tongue.
After school…
"YOU PROMSIED!" Tyler yelled.
"I'm sorry but she was too fast," Cassie said.
"If it wasn't for Kim, things would've gone a lot worse," Tyler said.
"You're making it sound like I'm trouble," Jen said.
"You are trouble," Kim said. A close friend to Jen and family friend to Cassie and Tyler, Kim is the ideal image of a beautiful Japanese teenage girl but she's sort of a tomboy. Kim has short pixie cut hair with brunette streaks. She hardly wears any jewelry. She's not a full tomboy but she does enjoy wearing skirts and dressing up for the occasion. But other than that, she wears boy's uniform to school, plays with the guys in basketball and soccer, she has a smug but cold attitude to anyone she doesn't know or hates but warm and loving to ones close to her. And as of today, no one has ever seen her smile.
"So TJ, are you going to transfer to our school?" Kim wondered. "I'm getting bored with the boys we have. They're no fun."
"Because you keep embarrassing them," Cassie pointed out.
"It's not my fault they suck," Kim shrugged.
"How much farther?" Tyler wondered.
"Not far now," Jen said. "It's in the trees."
The group was passing through the field with Jen as the leader of the pack. "If I knew we had to walk all this way, I would've flown instead," Cassie complained
"Quit whining princess, we don't want to attract any attention," Jen explained.
"So you do have a brain," Kim insulted.
"Zip it!" Jen snipped. Jen came to a stop in front of a large tree. "We're here," she said.
"I don't see anything," Tyler said.
"That's the idea," Jen said and walked through the tree. The rest stood in question whether to follow or not. Kim shrugged her shoulder and followed Jen then it was Tyler. Cassie looked at the tree and felt a vibe that made her uncomfortable. "I have to be on my guard," Cassie said and walked through.
On the other side, she saw her friends were in complete awe. "What are we looking at?" Cassie wondered.
"That," Tyler pointed.
Cassie looked up and saw something that blew her mind. "Is that a ship?" Cassie wondered.
"It is," Jen said. "Guessing on the name, the ship is called Primus II."
"Who or what occupies this ship?" Tyler wondered.
"That's the thing, I'm too scared to go in," Jen admitted.
"I don't blame you," Kim agreed.
"But there's something that's bugging me?" Cassie said.
"What is it?" Jen wondered.
"How do you know the name of the ship if the ship has no hull to begin with?" Cassie pointed out.
The fact was apparent. The ship was skinned to the frame. There was no trace of the hull at all. "I had gone to the bridge," Jen explained. "I found the name but I quickly left because it was dark."
"And getting to the bridge is no easy feat," Kim said. The rest agreed.
"Don't worry, I supplied a line to climb to the bridge," Jen said.
"Ahem," Cassie said as she was turning red. "Unless you forgot, two of us are wearing skirts."
"Kim hardly wears skirts and TJ is not gay," Jen said.
Tyler got irked and stomped on Jen's foot. "OW!" she cried.
"She means you!" Tyler said.
"Not me," Jen said. "I have shorts underneath." Cassie shot the 'Oh really?' look.
"Do you have another rope?" Tyler asked.
"I do. Why?"
"I like to tie a rescue rope to Cassie so in case she slips, I can catch her," Tyler said.
"How sweet," Jen cooed.
"Just get the rope," the siblings said.
After tying a rescue line to Cassie, the group started climbing the rope that Jen had place to the bridge. Halfway up the rope, Cassie was peering inside the stripped ship. "Whoever owned this ship must be huge," Cassie said.
"SQUAWK!" a bird screeched.
Cassie let out a cry and lost her grip. She fell from the rope but immediately snagged by the rescue line. "Whew, good thing we did this huh TJ," Cassie said.
"Yeah, yeah, just hurry up and grab the rope," Tyler gritted.
"Why?"
"You're heavy."
"I'm not heavy!" Cassie pouted. "At my last weight-in, I was 44kg (equivalent to 105lb)."
"More like 60kg," Tyler strained.
"I will not sit here and let you insult my weight," Cassie pouted.
"Just grab the damn rope!" Kim yelled.
"The nerves of him telling me how much I weight," Cassie muttered. "I know I weight 42kg." Her actually weight is 45kg.
The group reached the bridge and they were floored to who occupied the ship. "So the rumors were true," Kim said. "Robots did visit this planet."
"Just because they are robots here doesn't mean the rumor is true," Tyler said.
"That's true," Kim admitted.
"Hey, check this guy out," Jen said.
Kim and Tyler met up with Jen and Cassie as they saw the tall blue and white robot. "Think he was the captain?" Cassie wondered.
"Could be," Jen said.
"But what happened to them," Tyler wondered.
"That's why you're here," Jen said. "If you could turn on the computer, we can figure out what happened."
"That's a good idea," Tyler agreed. So Tyler looked around for the main console and found it. He ran up to the blue robot with yellow trim and climbed him. Tyler looked at the console and frowned. "I don't understand their language," Tyler said.
"Push something," Jen suggested.
"That's a bad idea," Cassie said.
"I have to agree," Kim said.
"Why is everyone against me?" Jen whined.
Following Jen's suggestion, Tyler pushed a button. Everyone waited for something to occur but nothing. "Maybe the ship has no power," Jen assumed.
Then all of the sudden, all the lights on the bridge lit up. The computer whined with activation. "What did you do?" Cassie asked.
"I have no clue," Tyler said.
Then a being of light appeared in front of the kids. His appearance is robotic with a face plate covering his identity. "Who are you?" Tyler asked.
Then the light turned to dark. As a pillar of light reach into the sky and entered space. The destination of the light was the moon as it glow a green aura. "Oh crap, we in for it now," Cassie said.
Like Cassie said, they were in for it as two sets of eyes from different angles saw the light.
Over China
A small shuttle was scanning the land in search of something. The shuttle had a cloaking device to hide from the public view. The search was failing when they saw the light from a distance. Onboard the ship was robot occupants. "Report," the captain requested.
"We found it," the helmsman said.
"Set a course and step on it," the captain said. "That light is making me feel uncomfortable."
Over Pacific Ocean
A humanoid armored being was scanning the ocean floor in search of the object from the sky. The wearer, female, she was getting discourage with the fail results. "Out of all days for him to go on vacation, this happens," she complained. "Why me?"
Then she saw the dark light over in the distance. Just by looking at the light sent chills down her spine. "This feeling is too familiar," she said. "If what I suspect is correct, f my life."
Metro City
The dark light grew in intensity. Tyler was trying to shut the computer down but the wind was too strong to combat. Then he felt a gentle touch on his back as he saw his sister and her friends by his side. "We'll stop it together," Cassie smiled.
"Sis," Tyler said.
"On 3," Cassie said.
"1…" Kim counted.
"2…" Jen counted.
"3!" the siblings shouted. The group march through the strong wind and into the eye of the storm. They saw a metal shrapnel on the console and worked collective to pick it up. They aimed the shrapnel at the center of the light and jammed it in. The light stopped as the bridge powered down and the wind died down. "Whew," Tyler sighed. "That was close."
Was it? Before they knew it, a massive earthquake rocked the area and knocked the kids unconscious.
