Bellwood, Earth, 2045...

The Storyteller was doing his grocery shopping at Mister Baumann's store. Like always, his robotic assistant EDNA was with him.

"Excuse me." The Storyteller asked one of the store's employees, who was a minicon. "Are these ginko berries fresh?"

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, but ginko berries are toxic to most higher forms of life if they're fresh. Why do you ask?"

"Just checking. Can't have you poisoning your customers." The Storyteller placed five of the purple banana shaped fruits in the basket he was carrying.

EDNA whirred to ask the Storyteller something.

"I don't know why Bralla wanted to use Ginko berries. Honestly, I thought she'd use Amber Oggia for Miko and Jack's wedding cake." The Storyteller replied. "What's next on the list?"

EDNA whirred. But it didn't make sense to the Storyteller. "What? Children? Isn't that a crime in most civilized societies, in fact-" The Storyteller was interrupted when an arrow of bluish magenta mana energy pointed down. The Storyteller took a few steps back and saw one of the Tennyson kids.

"Hello Ariel." The Storyteller bent down to get at eye level with the child. "I see your Aunt Gwendolyn has been teaching you how to use your powers. So what're you doing here?"

"Well, I came to pick up some SOLU-cream for my mom."

The Storyteller instantly knew why Ariel had been sent grocery shopping. "Oh. It's the thirty first of march. Your parent have a sorta tradition where they cook something Kamen Rider themed around this time of year."

"It's kinda stupid."

"Don't let your parent hear you say that." A kineceleran human hybrid said. It wasn't Helen, it was her son Eiji, Eiji Tomari. "Your folks wouldnt've hooked up if they didn't have a common interest to start their relationship."

"Okay, this can't be a coincidence. Why're you two here?"

A human boy, who was actually half cybertronian, step out from behind his older sister. "Mister Storyteller, could you tell us the second part of that story about my dad?"

"Sure, why not? After I get done shopping, I'll meet you kids by the statue of Mashin Chaser in the park. You'll wait for me, yes?"

"We will." Ariel, the Gwen of her group of friends, nodded her head. "Can a few of our friend come listen?"

"Sure. Now run along children, I won't take long."

Later...

Ariel, Orion, and Eiji were waiting. Rachel Esquivel, the daughter of one of Jack's friends, Rook Sigma, the son of Blonko and Rayona, and Caitlin Levin, Gwen and Kevin's daugher were waiting by the collection of statues honoring Masked Rider Chase, who gave his life years ago to keep everyone safe from the Roidmudes.

"So, you think he's coming?" Caitlin asked. "He probably lied to us so that we'd leave him alone."

"He wouldn't do something like that." Ariel said, lifting the girl who could absorb energy up with her powers. "He's my dad's friend."

"Sorry I said that. Now please put me down."

Ariel lowered her cousin.

"But where is he?" Eiji asked. "This is the place."

"Yes, but The Storyteller never gave us a time for when he would be finished." Sigma interjected. "We could be here waiting for him for an hour or more."

"Or less than a minute." Rachel said, pointing at the storyteller who was walking towards the statue.

When The Storyteller got to the statue, he sat down on the bench that was in front of it.

"So children. You wanted me to continue the story about Jack Tennyson?"

"Yes sir." Ariel nodded.

"Excelent. Now, much like the beginning of the first part, we start this story with meeting the villains." The Storyteller turned to EDNA. "EDNA, new file. Title it, TF Power of Ten The Next."

Story begin...

Author's note: A few things to discuss in the prologue. First, the kids.

Orion and Ariel are obviously Jack and Arcee's kids. But the rest are new.

Eiji Tomari is Helen and Shinnosuke's son. He's ten, so this means the events of this chapter take place ten years before the events of Surprise Future(on Eiji's end). He's half Kineceleran and half human. He's going to be the second Masked Rider Drive. The Rook of the group, level head, serious, but can take a joke.

Caitlin Levin is Gwen and Kevin's Daughter. Unlike her mother, she doesn't have Anodite powers, but hers are closer to Kevin's but instead of absorbing matter, she absorbs energy. Despite her parents' roles in the team dynamic; she's the Jack of the group. Impulsive, rushes head first into battle, but has a kind heart and does the right thing.

Rook Sigma is Rook Blonko and Rayona's son, chose the name Sigma because Orion was already taken by Jack's son. He's the Shinnosuke of the group, the idiot(but no an unintelligent one) who over thinks everything.

Rachel Esquivel is Raf's Daughter. Whether she has some special traits is yet to be seen. It's obvious that she's the Raf/Kevin of the group.

There's also Rook Wheeljack, Miko and Rook Jack's son. He's basically just like his mom, likes to sneak off, gets into trouble, and gets his friend into trouble. But he doesn't do it maliciously, he just wants excitement. Named himself after Wheeljack, and is called Jackie Junior or JJ by Bulkhead and Wheeljack. It goes without saying that he's the Miko of the group. Currently too young to be on his own. Born out of wedlock, which resulted in a sorta shotgun wedding.

Ariel Tennyson is eleven. She inherited the Anodite abilities from her father's side of the family. She was born without a t-cog which isn't much of a hindrance since Cybertronians no longer need to hide. She looks like Arcee, but has pink optics and magenta armor with light green highlights. She's the Gwen of the group, the level headed one.

Orion Tennyson was born without any special powers. He's eight years old at the time. He's gonna get an Omnitrix, but a lot earlier than he expects. He looks human but has a spark instead of a heart. The Ben of the group, a show off who has something to prove..

Both of Jack's kids can eat either energon or organic matter. They're technorganics, but just on different levels.

Next, the world of the future. It's the year 2045, which is about thirty years after the end of Power of Ten, which if TFP's timescale is anything to go by took place in the year 2010. It's also twelve years after the sixteen year old version of Jack met his future self. Its years after the events of RID 2015, which based on the episode Bumblebee's Night Off, it most likely takes place in the not too distant future, given that a band called Rear Axel that the episode implied that Miko introduced him to it. And given the fact that they're still doing concerts, it hasn't been that long since Prime.

Also, normal humans know about the Autobots by the year 2040, infact, they're rather common on the Earth. In fact, there's a place called Autobot City on Earth. Also, public knowledge of Cybertronians isn't new. The public was made aware of their existence in late 2013.
