Here is chapter 3, making progress!
I do NOT own Transformers, only my Oc's and story idea.
Chapter 3: Arrival to Earth.
MILKEY WAY
ON EARTH'S MOON
"That's Earth? I thought it would be bigger?" A gruff voice asked as the light from the sun bathed the moon in a pleasant glow.
A deep chuckle responded to the questions asked. "It may be small, but it is full of life," The deep voice said.
"True, so, when do we head down?" The gruff voice asked.
"Soon, very soon," Was the reply as the two figures stood in the glow of the moon as the Earth went about its day and night cycles.
The two figures stood side by side on the moon's surface, a peaceful silence between them.
"It's a shame the ship was destroyed, I could have added a picture of this view to my wall," A young feminine voice said joining in the conversation.
A female figure walked over followed by two others.
"I'd say it was a good thing, otherwise we would be swarmed with Decepticons right now," An older male voice said.
"The less hassle they give us the easier the landing will be," A younger male voice said as the last figure chuckles.
"It sure will, though I always hate the landing part," A second slightly older female voice said as the group shared a chuckle.
"Is everyone ready?" The figure with the deep voice asked.
"Ready sir!" A chorus of yells rang out as the sound of gears whirling to life was heard.
"Let's roll!" The leader of the group yelled as the figures jumped up and changed shape into a more pod-like form.
Thrusters activated sending the five pods straight at Earth, each pod taking its own route as the rocked down to the planet below.
ON EARTH
JASPER, NEVADA
AUTOBOT BASE
Miko grins as she sat on the couch watching her two friends Jack and Raf play a racing game, Bumblebee was watching them as well and cheering the race on from his beeps and whirls.
Bulkhead was having a nice chat with Arcee while Ratchet was working away and fixing a bug on the computer terminal, while nearby reading a Datapad was Optimus Prime who was enjoying the downtime.
Only for a beep to fill the air as a call came in, everyone looks over as Ratchet activates the call.
"PRIME!" A loud yell rang out across the Autobot base disturbing the nice atmosphere that had been formed.
Agent Fowler was now on the screen and looked more than a bit stressed, he was in a meeting room of some kind with a laptop beside him.
"Special Agent Fowler, what seems to be the problem?" Optimus asked as he walked over to the computer.
"Problem? I'll tell you problem, care to explain how five cybertronian meteors landed without you knowing?!" Fowler asked before turning the laptop around to show a video.
On the video, it showed a warehouse in America filled with various bits of metals and metal worlds, most likely a metalwork supplier. The security camera's display showed it was around the early hours of the day around 1 o'clock, the camera flicked for a moment before something shot past it and into the side of one of the warehouses. The camera followed what had flow past it only to see a smoking and slightly burning hole in the warehouse side, zooming in the bots saw a metal pod-shaped object inside.
"It looks like a pod of some kind," Bulkhead said while Bumblebee nodded.
The pod after a few minutes shuddered slightly before it began to split and unfold until a strange bot stood in bare protoform, this made Bumblebee cover his optics with an embarrassed bee and chirp making Raf chuckle at what he said.
"Ah, it's okay Bee! The bot is only in protoform," Bulkhead said patting the scouts back as Arcee rolled her optics.
"It's not like he's naked or anything," Arcee said as they watched the bot in the video looked around at where he landed before carefully leaving the building and running off into the forest nearby as the sound of sirens was heard before the video cuts off.
"That was in Nebraska, the metal storage units there have been taken care of but four more of these guys landed all around America!" Agent Fowler said before closing the laptop.
"How did they get past us?" Jack asked leaning on the railing slightly.
"Hmm, I was upgrading the base's scanners last night it must have been when they were rebooting that they snuck by," Ratchet said as he typed something in.
"The problem is are they Autobots or Decepticons?" Arcee asked holding her hips.
"All I care about at this moment in time is that there are five unknown bots running around the United States of America! Find them before they end up doing something that puts them on the worldwide news!" Fowler said before the call cuts off as he ended it.
"Ratchet, can you pinpoint the bots signals?" Optimus asked turning to look at the medic who huffed.
"Should be easy if I boost the power of the scanners, though it might be difficult if the bots are hiding their signatures," Ratchet said as he typed away.
The map came online to show America, along with five dots blinking around random areas of the map.
"I've got a lock on their signatures, as faint as they are," Ratchet said as Optimus nods.
"Can we establish contact?" Optimus asked making Ratchet nod.
"If I just send out a coded signal, here we go," Ratchet muttered as a screen appeared next to the map.
Jack raised an eyebrow when the following conversation was heard.
"I'm telling ya! The pool water is gonna make me rust!" A male voice yelled annoyed while two others chuckled.
"At least it's not salt water," A young female voice said with a soft giggle.
"Frag you all!" The same male voice yelled.
"Calm down Dynames, they're only teasing my man," Another male voice said.
"Oh! I love the cars here," A female voice said with a slight Italian accent to it.
"I agree with ya Artemis, the music here is stunning as well," A male voice said.
Miko chose that moment to speak up. "I like the sound of these guys!" She yelled making Raf and Jack wince.
"Why thank you! Wait," The one called Artemis said before pausing and asking "Virtue was that you just now?"
"No, but I think we have guests on our comlinks," Virtue said as a deep chuckle was heard followed by a small huff from two other voices.
"About time you noticed," A gruff voice said.
"Shut up Ventus," The one called Dynames said making Bulkhead chuckle.
"Calm everyone, I believe our guests have questions for us," A really deep voice said making everyone calm down.
Only for many optics and eyes to widen as the bots on the comlink said "Sorry, Saberblade Prime,"
"Another Prime!" Bumblebee asked with wide optics.
"Greetings, to whom am I addressing?" Saberblade Prime asked as Optimus stepped forward.
"Greetings Saberblade, I am Optimus Prime we are contacting you from our base," Optimus said as a grumble was heard in the background.
"I see, why have you 'hacked' our comlinks?" Saberblade asked curiosity lacing his voice.
"We wished to confirm your intentions on Earth, to see if you were a threat or not to its inhabitance," Optimus explained.
"And to make sure you're not Decepticons," Arcee added only to jump as Artemis spoke up.
"I can assure you we are not Cons, we left Cybertron before the war began," Artemis said as the dots on the screen drew closer together.
"Why are you here?" Jack asked walking forward on the platform.
A low hum was heard before Saberblade said: "I'm afraid our mission cannot be discussed over the comlinks, will it be possible for us to meet face to face?"
Optimus held his hip saying "If you send us your coordinates we will be able to ground bridge you directly to our base,"
"I see, I will meet up with my team and send you the coordinates," Saberblade said before the comlink turned off.
The bots moved away from the computer as Bulkhead said "They sound like a nice bunch,"
"I can't believe there's another Prime, I thought Optimus was the only Prime around," Bumblebee said making Raf translate for Jack and Miko.
"A Prime could have been chosen before the war Bumblebee, there were rumors back on Cybertron of a Prime being chosen but I thought they were only that rumors," Ratchet said as the screen blinks.
"If so then why is this Prime and his team here on Earth?" Arcee asked crossing her arms.
"A secret mission?" Miko guessed sharing a look with Jack and Raf.
Optimus stayed quiet as Ratchet spoke up "Coordinates received,"
Optimus nods as he went over to the ground bridge and powered it up, he then pulled the lever making the ground bridge turn on.
Everyone looked over as after a few minutes the sound of engines reached everyone's ears/audios, Miko leaned on the railing in excitement as she watched five vehicles come through.
The first was a purple and white double racing-striped 2006 Camaro Concept( 1st Movie Bumblebee Alt mode), the next one was a silver Pontiac Solstice hardtop. The third car was a candy apple red Ferrari 458 Italia.
The next to come through was a black GMC Topkick c4500, closely followed by a Hummer H2 rescue vehicle. (Same colors as movie Ratchet, also both Ventus and Dynames have movie Ratchet and Ironhides voices)
The last vehicle got everyone's attention, it was a Peterbilt 379 semi truck. The same Alt-mode Optimus had only this truck was mainly black with Nova blue ghost flames on the front, Miko grins as the vehicles parked in front of the ground bridge as it turned off.
"So, this is the base? Nice and cozy," The silver car said as Miko ran down the steps with Jack and Raf behind her.
"Welcome to the base! I'm Miko!" She said stopping in front of the semi-truck.
The bots grew tense when none of the bots spoke until a low groan was heard in Cybertronian almost like a growl, then to the children's amazement the semi began to transform but unlike the bots, it was more complex more parts moved and shifted into place. The sound of metal clanking and parts shifting was heard everyone watched as the semi grew taller until it reached Optimus height as his arms and helm form. He lowered his arms as his battle mask retracts showing his face as he took a deep breath as parts settled into place on his chest, the wheels on his legs spun before stopping as the rest of the vehicles transformed in different ways.
"Whoa," Miko whispered as the biggest bot looked down at them with golden optics.
"By Primus," Ratchet whispered as he took in the bots before them, never had he seen a transformation like that before.
"Greetings Miko and thank you for the warm welcome, I'm Saberblade Prime leader of Squad Alpha," Saberblade said a small smile on his lips.
Optimus stepped forward saying "It is an honor to meet another Prime," This made Saberblade look at Optimus.
Unnoticed by everyone but the humans, Saberblade tensed slightly at the sight of Optimus and something flash through his optics before it quickly vanished.
"The honor is mine," Saberblade said his left audio base spun around as he looked to his left saying "I believe some introductions are in order,"
"Yes," Optimus nods before addressing his team.
"This is Ratchet, Arcee, Bumblebee, and Bulkhead," Optimus said as each Autobot nods or waves.
Saberblade looks at each of them before nodding saying "Quite a team you have, a nice strong one,"
"What's cracking guys?" The silver mech said making everyone turn to him letting Raf see that the mech had a visor over his optics.
"My second in command, Sonicblast," Saberblade said as the silver mech gave a joking salute.
The sound of something powering up made everyone turn to the black mech as Saberblade said "My weapons specialist, Dynames,"
Dynames powered up his twin arm cannons asking "You feeling lucky? Punk?" This made Bulkhead grin.
"Awesome!" Miko yelled as Jack and Raf backed up.
"Easy, Dynames," Saberblade said making Dynames huff.
"Just kidding, I just wanted to show them my cannons," Dynames said putting his weapons away making three Autobots guardians relax.
"My medical officer, Ventus," Saberblade said gesturing to the mech who became a search and rescue vehicle.
"Hmm, nice to meet you," Ventus said while doing a few scans of his team and out of curiosity the humans.
Miko then yelped as she was picked up by an unknown force, Bulkhead went to take a step forward when Saberblade said "Artemis, put her down,"
"Sorry, I wanted to surprise them," Artemis said as she became visible while placing Miko down.
"How did you do that?" Raf asked turning to Artemis who stood up to hold her hip.
"Electro-disrupter, it allows me to uh fade into the background or turn invisible for short periods of time," Artemis said with a smirk.
"Artemis is the team's spy and close combat expert," Saberblade said as Arcee eyed the femmes arm blades.
"I can see why," She said making Artemis chuckle.
Saberblade shook his head before gesturing to the last bot with them. "This is the scout of the team and my little sister, Virtue," Saberblade said.
"It's nice to meet you," Virtue said her little helm antenna popping up as she watched the three humans.
Jack stepped forward making the bots look at him, Saberblade focused on him for some reason Jack felt familiar somehow but he didn't know why.
"Why are you here on Earth?" Jack asked as the five bots tensed up.
Saberblade let a small sigh escape him as he said "We are on a mission to find and retrieve the Allspark to revive Cybertron,"
Done! And cliffhangers! I'm such an evil person. Hehehe.
Anyway, next chapter the bots explain their mission to Team Prime and get settled in.
Until then, SaberbladePrime signing out!
