Good day, I had a Beast Wars fanfic I wanted to write and did publish it. Although, as I've improved as a writer, I had decided to delete that story due to my constant dislike of it. Years ago, I had promised a rewrite of that story so here it is finally a few years later.

Disclaimer: Beast Wars belongs to its respective owners and I only own my OCs.

The moonlight night stood in the sky. Thin clouds slowly moving in the sky. It had been dusk on the crisp, fall evening. The night could've been fitting the tall dark buildings quiet tone if it wasn't for someone running around the dark rooftop. A guy, dressed in all black, following a girl dress in a green hooded uniform. A crossbow, in hand before firing them off. The man, dodging them instantly, carrying a bag in his right hand before jumping over to the nearby rooftop. The woman, quickly following.

The man flipped his gun and fired it at the woman who had fired her crossbow once again at the same time, canceling out the attack instantly. The girl barely made it onto the roof while the man had already been nearly at the end of the other roof until…

An incoming flying chakram causes him to jump back, noticing someone standing on the taller rooftop, but the shadow didn't show any colors of her outfit only that she was in similar get up than the girl dressed in green. There was another red and silver chakram in her hand and it was glowing with fire around it, revealing the colors of red and yellow streaming on her outfit. A hood had been hiding her face and sunglasses, hiding her eyes as well.

"The Red Aura!" The man exclaimed. His hazel eyes, widening in surprise at her as the woman, Aura, jumped in front of him.

"Apologies for the late arrival, Lunar. I got caught up in some traffic." The chakram, in front of the man, quickly lifting from the ground to Aura's gloved hand that wasn't holding the other chakram that was still in her hands. She quickly lit it on fire, causing the man to back away.

"Why don't you answer yourself, asshole?" Aura snapped, rolling her eyes behind her sunglasses. It was getting late and she still needed to finish at least some of her History project before daylight hits. She rather not is chasing some random thug that thought he could smuggle stuff from someone.

Silence enveloped the room as if someone could drop a pen and anyone could hear it. These damn people were all the same and Aura's patience was wearing thin quite a bit before the guy immediately dropped the stuff he stole before jumping away from the nearby roof.

Just then, the two other fellow hooded figures jumped down. One in blue and silver; the other, in pink and white. Both had the same hoods and glasses hiding their facial looks.

"Well, looks like that job was a little easier than I expected." The pink and white hooded girl sighed, shrugging her shoulders, dismissing the white lances around her in the pouch on her back. She had been controlling them earlier with the wind.

"I wouldn't call it that, Wind Stormer. We still have the police and media on our tail." Aura sighs, rolling her eyes behind her sunglasses. That is what happens when people think they're robbing you of a chance of nabbing what they deserve. Anyone had the right to fight against anything they see fit so long as they weren't doing it for horrible reasons and these people they fought every night didn't have any right stealing, pillaging, hurting any of the other members of the city that weren't really a good thing to do to innocent people.

"Eh, we'll live." Lunar sighed, crossing her arms over her chest, shrugging her shoulders, "We've been doing this for almost a year now and all they've done is basically only complained."

"That's basic capitalism though, Archer." The blue one added, sighing, rolling her eyes, "At least, that's what Blake tells me it is the reason for every time he comes home hearing about us on the news or something." Her brother was in the military and had just left back yesterday after staying over for a couple of weeks.

Aura found herself nearly choking back a laugh before sighing, "Let's call it a night then."

Study hall. What an absolutely boring class period, but at least she was able to get that damn report done. Might've taken her until two in the morning but she did it. Brown, curly hair dangled on shoulders. A strand of caramel brown hair in her tan skin fingertips. The highlights of lighter brown hair on her head, sitting in the desk. Her spiral notebook, being doodled around. She was in the corner front, but it still didn't stop her from checking her cell phone to see if she had any messages.

There had been one from Rose.

Did you hear the rumors, Rachel? Apparently, a ship crashed out in the woods by our neighborhood and sighting of dinosaurs. Do you wanna check it out tonight?

Rachel sighed, wondering if anything could get any weirder than that and quickly typed out her response.

This is as good as a rumor, right? I could've sworn I heard a few people in study hall talking about it earlier. I guess it is, but dinosaurs, really? Sounds too far fetched to me.

"You think you saw some kind of cheetah out last night? Are you crazy, Jack?"

"Not crazy! Just um…" The black raven headed boy sitting a few desks behind from Rachel sighed, "Look, I know what I saw. It sounds crazy, but I could've sworn. Maybe one got loose from the zoo?"

Sierra had been sitting next to him. Odd that a lead cheerleader like her would be talking to a loner like Jack but hey, it gave her an opportunity to ask some questions without coming off as super suspicious. The last thing she wanted people to know that she was the Red Aura.

"Zoo? Doesn't the city not have those kinds of things in that zoo?" Rachel asked, turning to rest her elbow on the desk behind her.

"Look, I don't know Rachel, but I'm sure what I saw, but did you hear about the dinosaurs that were spotted last night?" Jack asked in curiosity as Rachel nodded.

"Yes, I heard from Rose about it." Knowing Rose's name was only gonna jump Sierra out of her seat. Those two had quite the falling out when Rose quit cheering to join her small group of friends on their after-school activities, "But there's nothing really confirming the rumor. It's probably a bunch of far-fetched rumors that people are making up just to use a scare tactic. I bet Vince did all of that. He's always picking fights with people." He'd been the very definition of a fuckboy. He'd been asking Sierra out for the last six months and wouldn't take no for an answer. Least Rachel didn't bask in that stupid sense of dances. Not that she wasn't really social just that she prefers to avoid any unnecessary drama.

"You couldn't be blaming him without any proof, Rachel." Sierra rolled her eyes as Rachel turned back to her desk. The look of seeing someone that quick to defend someone like Vince nearly made her gag.

"Yeah, well, he's done plenty of shady stuff to fly that rumor around." Rachel waved her hand before deciding to ignore Sierra for the time being and just talk to Jack about this whole ordeal, "So Jack, what did they say they found these sightings? Outside the zoo?"

"You can't be thinking about checking that area out, can you?" Jack blinked in surprise while Rachel rolled her eyes.

"I didn't think about it, but I'm curious, Jack." Rachel sighed. People these days think she's that crazy enough to go alone. Not that it would be her investigating it anyway.

"Yeah, it was outside Taios. Wonder if those so-called superheroes are gonna end up showing up? That's a big thing." Jack wondered and the bell rang causing Rachel to shrug, getting up from her seat. It had been last hour and definitely grateful for it. She, Rose, and the others can figure out just what the hell is going on. Well, if it wasn't a joke, that is.

"Who knows, maybe they'll do what they usually do and hide in the shadows." And with that said, Rachel walked out of the classroom immediately, into the halls of the school, heading over to where she had driven her mom's other car she gave her a while back when her mom got a new one, spotting her sister Lilly walking to the gym.

"Hey, Lilly, you got a ride back from Volleyball practice today? Is Delia taking you home?" Rachel asked as Lilly nodded.

"Oh yeah, sis don't worry about it. Don't you got some study date with Sophia, Scarlet, and Rose tonight?" Lilly asked as Rachel nodded, always using the study date as an excuse and mom wasn't due to be home for a couple more days since she was on a business trip. Nothing would go wrong. At least, that's what Rachel hoped. Not that her mom didn't know what she was doing but her sister didn't.

"Yeah, just be careful. There's been some crazy stuff going on in the city lately." Rachel sighed, smiling at her sister before walking away, "Give me a text when you're heading home, okay?"

Rachel waved to her sister before heading to the doors before she could hear Lilly shout.

"Hey, you know I can handle myself."

Shaking her head in disbelief, Rachel headed over to the black cobalt that she's usually driving, unlocking it before starting the car up, throwing her bags into the front seat before two others had gotten into her car as well.

"Hey, Rachel." The raven-haired girl from the passenger side declared with a wave, quickly yawning, "Rose told us to ride with you. She's gotta get some stuff from her house real quick and she'll be at your house."

"Wonderful, Scarlet." Sweatdropped on Rachel's forehead. Well, the sooner they find out this shit is a hoax, the sooner they could get on their lives.

"Heh, you don't seem to like your too excited." The blond pigtail girl laughed as Rachel started driving, stopping to turn right to head over to her house.

"Sophia, I hope this is all a joke like I think it is." She sighs, not wanting to deal with any more people like this. Some jokes she was just sick and tired of and frankly if there are real, what then? They really didn't have a plan or anything. They didn't know what to expect.

"You shouldn't of let yourself be seen by these humans, Cheetor."

Optimus Primal's voice broke the halls, stepping out of the shadows of the Axalon, in a gorilla form. It was a beast mode. It was made to protect themselves from the Energon fields and keep them safe from their circuits being fried. Where were they at? What time? What year? What area had they been in?

It was confusing for them. They didn't even know if they had crashed landed on the planet where Megatron had come here for. All things would happen in time for him to find out. He wasn't impatient, just curious.

The cheetah, Cheetor, sighed, "Ah-Ah, Big bot. I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

A rhinoceros emerged from the background.

"It's no worries, we're just can't come out openly yet." The mech, Rhinox, stated to Cheetor. There are so many things they didn't know about this planet. There was definitely humans, but what time exactly could they have been in? The transwarp system could've taken them into an entirely different dimension, anyplace, and anytime.

"I know what you mean, Optimus," replied Cheetor, "Especially since we crash-landed on this planet at night and got those beast modes from that 'zoo.' Oh man, did we cause a near-panic in the night last night when those two-legged things saw our ship!" Well, least they weren't harmful.

"Yes, and who knows the chaos that could've been caused if more had seen us." Optimus retorted with a small nod, "It's fortunate that the Axalon has a cloaking device as well as being able to go underwater if we have to get to that point."

"What about our comrades, Optimus? What happened to them?" Cheetor asked, actually worried about some of them and what could happen to them.

"The stasis pods were scattered across the planet after our battle with Megatron and his Predacons. They could be anywhere on the planet. We won't be able to find any of them until they give out some sort of distress signal." Optimus explained. It was unfortunate, and it meant Predacons had them outnumbered.

"Dat means the Preds have us outnumbered." A rat emerged from another room, chewing on something.

"Rattrap, what is that in your hands?" Optimus demanded, smelling something that made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh? Umm, this? Oh, I heard those two-legged creatures call it pizza or something." Rattrap continued to chew on it, despite it smelling disgusting to the other Maximals. It would've smelled bad to the humans as well. Rattrap took the silence as an insert that they had no interest in his new finding and ate the pizza down quickly.

"Unfortunately, they do, but that doesn't mean we're out of this battle. If Megatron finds out that weren't in the Cybertron space anymore then we will have a bit more of a problem if the creatures of this planet get involved." And whatever resources these two-legged creatures had.

"Well, he'll probably find out knowing our luck." Rattrap sighed, "We're all gonna die."

"You're a fool, Terrorsaur!" Megatron hollered, using his t-rex head to grab the head of the pterodactyl's head, slamming it into the wall of his ship. He wasn't too happy that he let those flesh creatures see him.

"M-My apologies, Megatron." The red pterodactyl cried out, not wanting to face Megatron's wrath today. He surely didn't want to die either. That much was for certain.

Megatron quickly flashed a piece of the newspaper he had found on his late hidden exploration of this planet, "You see, I could let you explore this planet more. If these vile humans plaguing not just the area, but this planet as well." He turned to look at pages that said 'Local Mysterious Powered Hooded Girls Continue to Do the Officials' job.' These so-called officials must not be good if the girls took out a whole group of thugs as the newspaper pointed out. Powered? It was pretty vague to Megatron's likes but it had been certainly interesting. Could these so-called fleshlings be using something else to help them take these so-called thugs? He read the article more. It peaked his interest.

Local Police say that the men were taken care of when they arrived. There was also a glimpse of fire at the scene signifying that these mysterious human girls that have been taking out these people that terrorize the city had been there. The Red Aura seems like the case of that. On top of that, witnesses saw that there had been several gunshots fired along with some arrows being stuck on top of the rooftop. Officials say that they will become much faster than these hooded kids in the future.

Kids? Doing this? These officials don't seem smart, no. Megatron thought to himself, crumbling the piece of paper. He was still curious. However, he had bigger matters to deal with.

Just then, there had been a velociraptor hissing at what Megatron had been reading previously, "Pathetic, you think we have been to the right planet. This isn't the earth that we were supposed to land on. You've failed Megatron!" He didn't even destroy their opponents before their crash landing.

What a terrible leader.

"Failed?" Megatron was quite irritated with the way his men addressed him. Dinobot's comment made his mech fluid boil as he looked at the velociraptor, "I think not! This is a new planet we have landed on, yes, but has that stalled my plans in the slightest, Dinobot? No." He stated with a firm stance, standing his ground. He would get his chance of eliminating those pesky Maximals in time. He just had to be patient.

"Dinobot, terrorize!" Dinobot immediately transformed into his robot mode, "What I understand is that you have made us get to the wrong planet. Therefore, you are an excuse for a leader. I shall be leading the Predacons from now on." He stated, pulling out his trusty sword.

"Ah, so you think." Megatron chuckled, "For one to become a leader, there are certain qualities you must have. There's giving out a proper strategy, charms, strength. All of which I accel you in, Dinobot, yes."

"Then you should accept my challenge to battle you for the leadership. Whoever wins, will be destroyed." Dinobot stated while Megatron laughed.

"Such anties I don't simply prefer to handle." Megatron started to walk away from Dinobot while a scorpion-like a robot emerged, aiming his missiles at Dinobot before firing it at him, flinging him out of range. Noticing this, Megatron tsked, "Oh how I would hate to blow cover, but this seems like I will have to let it slide this one time. Dinobot's treachery is certainly something that should be handled, yes. It is getting close tonight after all." He turned over to Terrorsaur, "Terrorsaur, you wanted some action, and you shall get it, yes. You and Waspinator will hunt down the traitor to make sure he's destroyed, yesss."

Terrorsaur grinned, "Heh, not a problem, Megatron. I could use some target practice."

"Waspinator will enjoy getting rid of Lizard-bot too." The wasp, Waspinator, now flew beside Terrorsaur.

"Excellent, oh and if you do see humans, feel free to destroy them. I'd prefer no witnesses on this battlefield." Megatron couldn't take any humans getting suspicious just yet. Not when he didn't know what these flesh creatures had. There could be humans like those mysterious human girls from the newspaper who took some heroine names.

Oh, the very mention of heroine made him gag.

"So, this is where the sightings have been?"

The four girls were all in the alter ego forms, looking around at the wooded forest, noticing some footprints that were definitely not human.

"Looks like this is totally not a hoax."

They were looking down as Aura shrugged her shoulders, rolling her eyes behind her glasses, crossing her arms over her chest, "Damn, you guys really think that this is real? Already convinced? Hardly, someone could've carved that for all you know." Dinosaurs have been nonexistent for the last like millions of years now according to science. How could this even be happening? Stormer had been way smarter than this.

"Well, it looks pretty real to me." Sprite sighed, shrugging her shoulders, having the same voice as her friend Sophia.

"Real? How could we even tell if someone's that good at planting evidence? Call me paranoid, but dinosaurs are supposed to be extinct. Not alive." Aura sighed, finding herself getting a headache over this. Stormer was supposed to be the brains of this group. Don't tell her she was believing this stuff to?

"You know, Aura's got a point." Stormer piped in, "We haven't seen any crazy activity since we've started investigating this area. This could just be some dumb joke." As much as crazy this was, it was probably some people their age trying to do something like this.

"Eh, but this does kind of look real, you know." Sprite sighed, shrugging her shoulders before something hit her. Paranoia, mostly, "Hey, what if the officials are trying to send a trap or something?"

"Doubt that this isn't their style." Stormer pointed out with a sigh, shrugging. The police and media might be corrupted these days but they weren't stupid, that's for sure.

"Guys," Archer said, holding her flashlight over at something she never expected. It was a blue robot and it looked like he had gotten shot in the chest, "I found something! This is really getting weird." She's never seen anything like this before. She slowly started walking towards the blue robot closer and she stopped, seeing just how big it was, "Whoa." Her heart was pounding. What if it just woke up and did some kind of weird function. She could tell it was armed. This could be some war robot or something. It could kill them. It could hurt them. It didn't look like it was conscious though. It looked like it had been here a while too.

The other three alter egos came running over to the scene, gasping. If anyone could see their eyes from their glasses, it would show they were shocked.

"Holy shit." Aura breathed. Her breath was caught in her throat, wanting to scream out, but couldn't. It shocked her, scar her. This was true?

"We should see if we could deactivate it." Sprite sighed, kneeling next to the robot's head. They all didn't know how to operate it, but they would have to find something about it.

Then, the robot moved. His eyes, opening to show that they were red, causing all four girls to jump back in case the robot tried to attack them in any way possible.

"What is this? Where am I?" The robot stood to his feet before feeling a sudden surge of energon coursing through him, and it wasn't pretty, "Gah, I've been in robot mode too long: Beast mode!" He transformed into a velclopier raptor, causing the girls' anxiety to surge even more.

"What the hell?" Sprite muttered, looking at the raptor, "It-It's a dinosaur." She couldn't believe it. Dinosaurs were supposed to be extinct, not existing.

It seemed it made sense now. Stormer realized that these dinosaurs had actually been something more than just some robot made by the government. It was something more…

They should get out of here while they can.

"Everyone stay back!" She exclaimed, getting ready to get out of here. Who knows what that thing could do, but what did it mean by going into robot mode too long? What was this guy?

This time, the robot noticed the humans, "Pah! Humans!" He exclaimed, looking at them. These are humans, huh? They looked like the humans from the newspaper Megatron was looking at earlier. Not that he really cared anyway. He found no interest in fighting these humans, but they looked on edge. They obviously have never seen a transformer before.

His eyes widened before suddenly hearing a buzzing noise. No, that was Waspinator. He didn't have a chance to do anything when his body was still trying to recover from the energon surge he just had.

It looks like these humans were about to get caught in the crossfire.

Aura blinked behind her sunglasses and froze up for a second before sighing, waving her hand, before turning into the other direction, "Come on, we don't have time to..." Buzzing appeared around the area, loud and whole. Oh, fuck her life. She still had some homework to do tonight.

"Okay, that's too loud for it to be a small bug." Sprite pulled out her blue triton, eyes, wary of the area. This was crazy.

"Okay, I'm not the only one who heard that." A sigh escaped Archer's lips, pulling out her crossbow. This was gonna get worse it seems and it seemed she and Sprite were right. Stormer and Aura really should've listened to them.

"This is really starting to freak me out," Sprite muttered, pulling out her triton. Where the fuck was it coming from?

"You'd be best to run if I were you." the robot finally spoke to the four humans, "The Predacons won't be sparing you if they see you around with me." He knew he technically betrayed the Predacon cause and he had been a fool to just challenge Megatron in front of his other Predacons. Not that he would ever admit such a thing. It would be lacking in honor. These fleshlings were stupid in trying to think they have a chance against them. They had no idea what they were getting into.

He decided to yell this time around, hoping to scare them away. Not that he liked them, it was just that he found it dishonorable to just kill these fleshlings, "If you fleshlings want to live, you'll run and forget any of this happen!"

"Lookey what we have here, Waspinator."

Slag, Terrorsaur too? Dinobot knew that he had been around too. He was stuck in Beast Mode for a bit. He didn't have the patience nor the power to deal with this. They had a flight advantage, and Dinobot was stuck in Beast Mode. That, however, didn't mean that he was about to give up.

"Oooo, not only just Lizard bot but fleshy bots too." Waspinator stated happily, wanting target practice very badly, "Waspitator needs target practice."

"Terrorsaur, TERRORIZE!"

"Waspinator, TERRORIZE!"

Both the dinosaur and the insect immediately shifted the bodies internally and transformed into two menacing robots.

"Fuck, now I've seen everything." Aura sighed before realizing there were bullets heading their way, "Move!"

She quickly put up her chakrams using her telekinesis, trying to stop their attack while Stormer tried using her lancers with her control of the wind. It wasn't going to work however as the raptor had deflected them with his tail, sending it back to the two robots.

"Whoa." The Red Aura breathed, getting herself behind a rock along with her other three friends. This was crazy. That guy was amazing. Well, at least they knew they weren't gonna die if he's around.

"He's taken heavy damage before, Aura. We should help him." Sprite stated, trying to point her triton at the two robots that were trying to kill them.

"Are you crazy? They would've blown up our weapons for certain if that guy hadn't taken out those attacks just now." Stormer stated before she noticed Spirte heading to fire her electric pulse in her triton, "Water Sprite are you dumb?! Did you hear a word I said?!"

She was irritated. She was going to get herself killed, "Damn it all, she is crazy." Stormer immediately decided she was going to have to help Sprite out before she took to the skies, flying it the air, using two of her five lancers to aim to stab the wasp-like robot.

Sprite's electric pulse was avoided by Terrorsaur while he laughed, aiming his blaster at the blue human before he suddenly saw an arrow being sent his way. He deflected it with ease. These fleshlings were nothing to him. He saw the green one had used his crossbow but he had also realized those other two had some weird powers who had tried to block his attack.

Dinobot thought that these humans were stupid. Did they not hear him earlier? He didn't have the strength to fight now, but he wasn't about to lose to the likes of Terrorsaur and Waspinator of all people.

Suddenly, a sudden blast knocked Terrorsaur off of his course and sent him to the ground. His head, implanting the ground as Waspinator dodged the lancers that were sent to him before looking over at the sudden newcomers that were the Maximals. One was a cheetah. The other, a rat.

"The Maximals!" Dinobot exclaimed before he found himself groaning, feeling a shot suddenly hit him from Terrorsaur, knocking him to the ground.

"Oh no!" Aura exclaimed before suddenly noticing a metallic blue and silver like robot stopping her. She glanced over at him and he spoke to her.

"No need to interfere further. We'll take care of this, I assure you." He stated to her, trying to send a small smile at her, trying to ease her anxiety a bit. That had been a Predacon if he remembered correctly and it seemed he was battling them seconds ago with the help of these humans.

He quickly fired at Waspinator and Terrorsaur along with Rhinox.

Aura was in awe of these robots. They were helping them out even though they didn't know them. And their power was incredible.

"Ah, let's retreat!" Terrorsaur exclaimed before he quickly flew away with Waspinator, trying to dodge all the bullets along with him.

When they had returned, Optimus looked over the four humans before he tended to the Predacon, looking over at him. He was unconscious once again.

"He took a bad hit before." Aura stated to the gorilla looking robot as he nodded, agreeing that he had noticed that as well.

"He helped the four of you out, didn't he?" He asked as the four girls nodded, "Ah, my apologies to you humans. I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Optimus Primal, leader of the Axalon crew. We're new to your planet and just know that you're not used to seeing being like us, but we Maximals don't mean no harm to you or this planet." He stated, hoping these humans would get comfortable with them fairly quickly.

"I don't think you would have a reason to harm us after what you just did." Sprite sighed, breathing relief into her chest. Thank goodness all these robots weren't all bad, "We appreciate your help, Optimus. To be honest, we came out here to investigate some weird events. We didn't think we'd find something more than meets the eye."

Something didn't add up to Stormer quite yet though…

"So, if you're aliens then why are you able to speak our own language?" Stormer asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Our sensors adapt whenever we encounter beings capable of basic sentence structures," Rhinox added. "Simplest way to put it."

"That's pretty clever." Stormer pointed out, nodding in understanding. Interesting.

"Think it's wise for both of us to explain our situations in another area." Aura advised, clearly not wanting to deal with some police brutality or much less, the press. People probably called the cops from all the racket they all had been making.

Sure enough, they had heard sirens.

"Yes, I agree." Optimus nodded, motioning the four of them to follow him and his crew. He hadn't wanted to leave the Predacon destroyed.

"You mean, we're gonna help that Predacon?" Rattrap asked before he sighed. They're all gonna die.
