It all started with two little word from two people. Now normally when two people speak at the same time it is not a big deal but, if that word is 'Uh-oh!' and it is Wheeljack and Que saying it at the same time. Well that is almost a bigger danger sign than one of the science crew running for the hills. Wheeljack and Que started to run. They were out the door and half way down the hall when Wheeljack saw Jazzy asleep on one of his shelfs near the door. Knowing nothing short of a cold bucket of water being dumped on her she would not be waking up, Wheeljack turned around and scooped her up and started running again. It was already too late. There was a loud cracking noise and then nothing. No bright flashes of light, no big explosions, no big flames shooting everywhere just the sound of someone breaking mock one, and no Wheeljack or Jazzy in sight. Venatrix came skating down the hall thirty seconds later took one look and the lab and throw back her head in exasperation.

"Great" she says in a dry sarcastic tone "here we go again. RATCHET Get the Boy's, Wheeljack's gone dimension hopping again and Jazzy went with him!" she yells.

A blue and yellow portal appears in the sky above a deserted alley in Mission City. Wheeljack landed tier first on the ground Jazzy came through two seconds later cracking his windshield form the impact. "Ow that hurt" she groaned as she rolled off of Wheeljack's hood. "What kind of color was that portal and what were you working on" she asked while rolling out the stiffness the fall had caused.

"It was supposed to be a dimensional viewer it was going to be the first step for commercial use of a trans-dimensional communication, but I carried a one I shouldn't have. This error would not have been a problem if caught before the mechanism reached a point three on the energon scale Que and I got it up to four causing a fulmination of the temporal Vortex walls creating an unstable portal in time and space."

Jazzy blinked thought what was said and grinned "So we could be in an alternate time line instead of a dimension this time all because you made the walls of reality go boom?"

Wheeljack sank onto his tires "yes" he mumbled.

Jazzy cackled and shakes her head in fond amusement "only you Jack my man. Well Cool cat, Doc, and the boys will find us soon enough. We have the locators and Venny girl gave me one of her phones, so they can call us if needed. Let's get are deerstalkers on and see when or maybe where we are."

Jazzy skipped out of the alley to the street looking around Wheeljack not wanting to lose her followed. She took one look at the street and made a happy trill as she recognized where she was. She looked at the digital bank clock down the street and got the date before doing a happy dance. "What?" Wheeljack asked in a wary tone.

"We are in Mission city a month before Big Boss man and his gang get here. Oh, Jackie my vassal of chaos, do you know what this means?" Jazzy was practically vibrating with excitement.

"We wait a month before contacting Prime and see if he can help us home?" he said in a hopeful voice.

Jazzy gives Wheeljack an unimpressed look "No" she drawls out "we can infiltrate Sector 7 save the sparkling and keep my Jazz man for dying in the first place. Once The cube is destroyed or safe depending how our being here chances the time line we can ask it to send us home. Oh, think or the lovely chaos we will bring all the sparklings and civvies saved I can get Agent SS to turn early and help us." Jazzy was now bouncing in place and grinning like a loon.

By now Wheeljack was starting to get worried someone would call the mental hospital again talking to no one noticeably there and her crazy dancing was not making her look very sane. It didn't bother him anymore but people who didn't know her was a different story. "How would you contact Simson? If I remember right at this point and time he is all for capturing me and any bot he'll come accost."

Jazzy's smile took on a dark psychotic quality to it "leave that to me." She said in a demented tone that caused him to shiver in fear the supervillain cackle that followed didn't help. Seeing the people videotaping the crazy woman on the street it was no surprise to him when he heard the sirens in the distance.

"Jazzy Time to go they called the mad house again."

"Aw, man why do the White coats always got to cramp my ways? Well Doc, where going back to the future!"

Wheeljack laughed having a DeLorean DMC-12 as an alt-mode and the technicality that they had traveled in time it was a good quote. "No Marty back to the past!"
