Chapter 2: The Mysterious Power


Hot Rod returns back to Autobot City to show the others the stone he found.

Kup: What on Earth is that thing?

Hot Rod: This doesn't look familiar to you Kup?

Kup: I've visited thousands of planets and I've never seen anything like this before.

Arcee: It's strange, yet beautiful at the same time.

Springer: Is it some kind of alien meteorite?

Blurr: Look at that. Look at that. It's so strange. So wierd. Is it safe? Is it dangerous? Is it alive? Is it dead? What is it? What is it?

Ultra Magnus: Hot Rod, where did you find this?

Hot Rod: At the bottom of the lake where we were fishing at?

Ultra Magnus: I see, we'll have Telatraan 2 examin it.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock want to touch glowing rock.

Hot Rod: Grimlock wait!

Grimlock takes the stone and starts shaking and hitting it. But as he did, the stone started glow brighter red.

Kup: Hit the dirt!

Everybody ducks as the stone shot a powerful beam of plasma lightning and blasted Teletraan 2.

Kup: What the heck was that?

Blurr: What, what, what just happened? It just destroyed Teletraan 2. I knew it. I knew it. That thing is a weapon! It's dangerous!

Hot Rod:( holds out his hand to help Arcee off the ground) Arcee are you alright?

Arcee: ( takes his hand) I'm fine don't worry.

Spike: Are you hurt son?

Daniel: No dad, I'm alright.

Springer: ( yells at Grimlock angrily) Watch it! You could've gotten someone killed!

Grimlock: Me Grimlock sorry. Me Grimlock didn't know that glowing rock would go crazy.

Ultra Magnus: It's alright Springer. Grimlock didn't know. But we now know that thing is some kind of weapon.

Hot Rod: So what do we do now?

Ultra Magnus: Well since we can't get anything out of Teletraan 2 for now, we'll have to take it to Cybertron, maybe Perceptor might help? Hot Rod, Grimlock, Spike and Kup will come with me. Springer, call in Jazz and Blaster and have them assist you on repairing Teletraan 2.

Springer: I'll go get them.

Ultra Magnus: Arcee, call Sky Lynx to pick us up.

Arcee: I'm on it.

Blurr: What about me Magnus? What can I do? Surely there is something I can do. What about me? What about me?

Ultra Magnus: Whoa, easy there Blurr. You can put the stone in a specafied container. But be careful, you saw what happened.

Blurr: Yes sir! I''m on it. I'm on it. I'll be careful. Super duper careful. I'll keep it safe as if it were the Matrix.

Hot Rod and the Gang start to prepare for the trip to learn about the stone. Sky Lynx appears to take them to Cybertron. But before they leave, Daniel meet's up with his father.

Daniel: Dad, do I have to stay here?

Spike: Yes, son. But I'll be back soon.

Carly: ( hugs and kisses Spike) You be careful out there.

Spike: ( he hugs and kisses her back)Don't worry Carly, this isn't the first time I've been out in space.(to Arcee and Wheelie) Arcee, Wheelie! You two keep an eye on them.

Wheelie: Don't worry Spike. Wheelie loves his friends. He would help them to the very end.

Arcee: Don't worry about us Spike. We'll be fine.

Hot Rod: Come on Spike. Sky Lynx is waiting for us.

Sky Lynx: All abourd, to Sky Lynx Airlines.

Ultra Magnus: Hot Rod, do you have the stone.

Hot Rod: I got it right here.

Ultra Magnus: Make sure that it's shut in the container tight. We don't want Sky Lynx to fly out of control.

Hot Rod: That's the last thing I want. Where's Grimlock?

Grimlock was behind them, but was too stubborn to get inside Skylynx. Kup and Spike are trying to get him in.

Grimlock: Me Grimlock no like flying.

Spike: Would you stop being a chicken and hurry up?

Grimlock: Me Grimlock not chicken. Me Grimlock king.

Kup: Then I guess you don't want to here about the time how me and a handful of Autobots narrowly escaped from a villaige of robot cannibals with no weapons.

Grim-lock: Me Grimlock want to hear story!

Grimlock rushes inside Sky Lynx. Kup looks at Spike with a smirk.

Kup: Works everytime.

And so, Hot Rod, Kup, Spike, Ultra Magnus and Grimlock enter inside Sky Lynx.

Sky Lynx: Fasten your seatbelts everyone. We're about to take off.

SKy Lynx begins to launch and flies off to Cybertron. Everyone waves them goodbye and Daniel looks a bit down.

Carly: What's the matter Daniel?

Daniel: It's not fair that dad and the others won't let me join them. I really wanted to know what that stone is.

Arcee: ( as she smiles to him) Don't worry. As soon as they find out what it is, they'll let us know. Say, do you think you can help me with my work? I could use some muscle from my best friend.

Daniel blushes a bit, but nods and goes with Arcee. Meanwhile, Springer, Jazz and Blaster were just about to repair Telatraan 2.

Springer: Alright guys, lets get started. Ultra Magnus expects this to be done before he gets back.

Jazz: No sweat. We used to repair Telatraan 1 a lot, so this shouldn't be any different.

Blaster: Besides, we can fix this with some sweet, up beat music.

Springer: Oh no, please don't.
