Hello, bots and cons. Centurion here. Here is the second part of the first chapter of Dustformers. I hope you liked the first part of the first chapter or episode. Bumblebee has shown up and fought a Decepticon named Crossvolt. Also, the group of eight witnessed the fight and have inadvertently become involved in the war. This is only the beginning for them. And yes, the looks of the Autobots and Decepticons will be based off of Prime and from the Bumblebee movie. Now, transform and roll out!


*Remnant, Vale Mountains*

It was the middle of the day. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren had very recently witnessed a battle between two robots: Bumblebee and Crossvolt. Their minds were flooding with various questions. Currently, Bumblebee was driving back on the road with Yang close behind. When they got to a spot far enough, they stopped. After transforming into robot mode, Bumblebee sat down with the group to answer their questions.

"Now you guys can ask your questions." Bumblebee said.

"Okay. First off. What are you again?" Weiss asked.

"I'm an Autobot." Bumblebee answered.

"What was that robot you were fighting?" Jaune asked next.

"That was a Decepticon named Crossvolt." Bumblebee said with a slight edge.

"Why are you on our world?" Blake asked.

"As I said, it wasn't by choice." Bumblebee's voice was a little somber.

"Where are you leading us to exactly?" Pyrrha asked.

"To the ship where my comrades and I crash-landed." Bumblebee said. "I thought you guys could maybe help me."

"Why us though?" Yang asked. "Why not just go to someone older?"

"Couldn't take the risk. I may have been online for a couple days, but I've done research on your species. Some members of your would certainly want to harm me."

"Besides, you guys should know what governments do with all alien life forms!" Nora suddenly interjected.

"I need your help. I have to ask though, do any of you have skills with computers?' Bumblebee asked, resulting in Weiss, Ren, and surprisingly Ruby raised their hands. "We'll do our best to help if we can." Ruby said. Bumblebee nodded with a smile. "Then let's get going to the ship." Transforming back into vehicle mode, Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren hopped back in. The group then started driving again. Within a few minutes, they reached the base of a dormant volcano. Driving towards the entrance of a cave leading into the volcano, the group's eyes widened in awe at what they were seeing. They saw a ship seemingly lodged in the volcano, though part of it was showing.

"Welcome to the Ark!" Bumblebee announced as he transformed to robot mode.

"Holy crap..." Nora breathed.

"Incredible..." Jaune gasped.

"This place is huge..." Yang said quietly.

"Really contrasts to the size of you, Bumblebee." Ren said.

"Oh trust me, I'm not the biggest." Bumblebee smirked.

"Wait! There are other of your kind bigger than you?!" Nora asked excitedly.

"You know it." Bumblebee continues smirking.

"You know, some of us never asked our questions." Jaune reminded.

"True." Bumblebee realized. "What are your questions?"

"Who was that robot you were fighting?" Pyrrha asked.

Bumblebee's optics lowered a little. "That was Crossvolt. A Decepticon." He answered.

"Decepticon?" Ruby continued.

"The enemy faction. You see... The Autobots and Decepticons are at war." Bumblebee replied sadly.

"Bumblebee..." Blake said sadly and quietly.

"That's horrible..." Weiss could feel herself tearing up a little.

Nora became deathly quiet after hearing war. "H-How long has t-this w-war been going on?" She asked, shivering.

Sighing, Bumblebee decided to answer the ginger's question. "Our war has been going on for millions of years. The Autobots and Decepticons have of course, suffered losses." Suddenly, he looked down and saw Nora hugging his leg, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Ren hugged her friend from behind. Soon, they began walking around again. What they found were multiple other robots like Bumblebee lying motionless on the floor.

Ruby gulped seeing the bodies. "Bumblebee... Are they dead?" She shuddered.

Bumblebee looked at Ruby. "Don't worry, they're not dead." Hearing that, Ruby sighed in relief. "They're merely in stasis-lock, or what you natives would call a coma." He then walked up a computer. "This is the ship's computer, Teletraan 1. I've been trying to reactivate it to help me out for a long while, but no dice. Maybe your guys can help me with this."

"Look, we'd like to help you, but I don't think any of us have skills with computers." Pyrrha said.

"I do!" Ruby said suddenly, making everyone in the group look at her with surprise.

"You have computer skills, Ruby?" Yang asked her sister, surprised.

"Yep!" Ruby replied cheerfully. "I once hacked a computer when I was five. I guess that memory stuck with me ever since." I know it's strange, but he needs our help. Please, everyone."

It took a minute for everyone to agree. "Alright, Rubes." Yang relented. Ruby smiled and walked over to Teletraan 1. Spotting a hatch, she pointed at it." Can you please open this?"

"Yeah, no problem." Bumblebee said, opening the hatch with relative ease. Ruby crawled in while the others watched. "Found a slightly torn wire in here!" She pointed out. "Does anyone have anything like tape or something?"

"I've got tape and glue." Weiss said handing them to Ruby who was working her supposed magic. A couple minutes later, she crawled out of the hatch."Okay. Try it now."

"Alright. Let's see if that did it." Bumblebee said as he pushed a big button. Miraculously, Teletraan 1 reactivated after being offline for four million years. "By Primus, you did it, human!" He cheered.

"Actually, my name is Ruby. Ruby Rose." She corrected.

"Oh." Bumblebee realized. "Forgive me, I'm still getting used to the concept of names on your planet. Now, to see how long we've been offline and how I can revive my friends." He then typed a question into the computer. "How long have we been offline?"

The computer's response made Bumblebee shake. "4 million years." "We've been offline for that long?!" He shouted.

"Are you okay, Bumblebee?" Yang asked concerned. The yellow Autobot said nothing as he walked over to his comrade's bodies. "We have to revive my friends."

"How exactly do we do that?" Blake asked walking around until she stops at a puddle of neon blue liquid with more of the liquid dripping from a crack somewhere. "What is this stuff?"

The others walked over and Bumblebee's optics widened. "You've just found the answer!" He exclaimed. Blake was confused. "How so?"

"This is Energon." Bumblebee said.

"Energon..." Ruby was a little perplexed.

"Allow me to explain. Energon is the lifeblood of my race. Basically, we need it to function. We must be near a supply of it." Bumblebee pointed out.

"So, who should we revive first?" Ren asked.

"Our medic, Ratchet. Once we do that, he can help revive the others." Bumblebee said. He then took out a small vial. Taking a tiny bit of Energon from the puddle, he walked to Ratchet, poured the Energon into the medic's spark chamber. In seconds, Ratchet's optics sparked to life, glowing blue. The medic was back online and the first thing he did was rub his head. "B-Bumblebee..." He said slowly, trying to stand up, only to be caught by Bumblebee.

"Whoa. Take it easy, Ratchet..." Bumblebee said quietly.

Ratchet then noticed the eight kids standing there. "AAAHHH!" He shouted in shock actually jumping back. "What are they?!"

"Whoa, Ratchet! Tone down your oil pressure! These are the native of this planet! They helped me get Teletraan 1 back online." Bumblebee explained.

The doc's optics widened hearing that, then looked at the group. "Them?! B-But they're so small!" He stuttered.

"Hey!" Nora shouted. "I'm insulted!"

"The things these natives can do will definitely surprise you. I've been online for only a few days." Bumblebee said.

"Not only that, but Bee saved us from a Decepticon named Crossvolt." Yang reminded. "Right now though, we're trying to help get your friends up."

"Friends..?" Ratchet asked himself albeit groggily when his optics widened again. Suddenly, everything came flooding back to him. The entire war against the Decepticons, leaving Cybertron in the Ark, the sudden Decepticon assault, and finally crash-landing on Remnant. He immediately ran to the body of a large, red, blue, and gray Autobot with a face-plate and checking it's vitals. After a minute, he sighed in relief.

"Bumblebee? Who is that?" Jaune whispered.

"That is the leader of the Autobots: Optimus Prime." Bumblebee whispered back.

*Vale Forest*

Crossvolt was simply slowly walking around trying to figure out what to do next. Basically, he was speaking his thoughts. "I must revive my leader and my comrades, but since Bumblebee's also online, he'll no doubt be reviving his comrades even as I speak. How am I going to overcome this dilemma?" Suddenly, he stepped in something wet. He looked down and saw a neon blue glow. "Could this be..." He looked a little closer. "It is! Energon! This is exactly what I need! Now I just need to get back to the Ark."

*2 hours later, The Ark*

"So they're functional?" Bumblebee asked.

"Yes, but barely." Ratchet said. "They need Energon."

"They need appropriate vehicular forms." Bumblebee said.

"Use your head, Bumblebee!" Ratchet snapped. "If they're going to have vehicle modes, they need Energon first and foremost!"

"Hey! Calm down! He was just pointing something out!" Yang shouted at the medic.

Ratchet calmed down a little. "I'm sorry, Bumblebee. "I'm just still getting used to all of this."

"It's fine, doc. We just have to get our friends back online." Bumblebee said quietly.

"We also have to be careful not to revive the Decepticons by accident." The doc reminded.

"Funny as that is what I want." Crossvolt said driving straight at the two bots. Bumblebee immediately activated his stingers to shock the Decepticon, but Crossvolt dodged the blasts. Suddenly transforming into robot mode, Crossvolt threw several test tubes filled with Energon at the bodies, specifically the Decepticons. The group and two bots watched in horror as the optics of the Decepticons began glowing a bright, brilliant red. Within seconds, three Decepticons with wings sprung up, rushed past them, dragging the body of a gray Decpeticon and another blue Decepticon with a it's own faceplate as well as a small orange-yellow and purple Decepticon with flame decals slung over a shoulder. Crossvolt almost made it out with the other Decepticons if not for Bumblebee jumping and kicking him in the side sending him out of the Ark and into a tree. "So, ready for round 2?" Bumblebee taunted.

"You're the one who's going down, Autobot!" Crossvolt shouted angrily running towards the yellow bot. Bumblebee responded by grabbing a tree and swining it, actually hitting his opponent. Crossvolt got up from the hit and charged Bumblebee. The yellow bot had little time to do anything as the Decepticon smashed him through three trees onto the ground. Oh, but Crossvolt didn't give Bumblebee any time to recuperate as he kicked the Autobot into a large boulder. This time, Bumblebee was able to deliver a solid punch to Crossvolt's face which made him cover his faceplate and stumble backwards, giving Bumblebee the opportunity to grab another broken tree and swing it at him again, knocking him down.

Back inside the Ark, Ratchet and the group were freaking out a little, seeing as how Bumblebee was getting his tailpipe kicked. "We need to get at least Optimus Prime online, but we need the Energon!" Ratchet panicked.

"We can help you bring him back online." Ren said uncharacteristically quickly.

"How can you help? You're so small! You shouldn't be involved in our war!" Ratchet reminded.

"Look, doc. Like it or not, we're already involved! So, why don't you drop the tough act and accept our help? We want to help you and Bumblebee!" Yang shouted.

Ratchet looked at Yang until saying "All of you. Get out any containers you may have, acquire Energon, walk over to Optimus, and pour it in his spark chamber." He instructed. The eight did as instructed and collected the Energon and walked over to the Autobot.

Back with the fight, Bumblebee was struggling to get back up as he had a little Energon leaking from his mouth. The group saw this and were scared. "Bumblebee!" Ruby screamed.

"Get up! Please!" Nora shouted, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.

"As I said before, who knew you were so slow and weak." Crossvolt taunted as he ran at the yellow Autobot yet again. However, at the last second, Crossvolt was hit with a shot from a laser rifle. A weapon Bumblebee knew all too well. When Crossvolt looked to find the source, his red optics widened at the wielder of the laser rifle. "Optimus Prime!" He exclaimed.

"Very perceptive of you." Optimus said in a deep voice as he fired another shot at the Decepticon, not giving him time to recover. "I will be back, Prime! The Decepticons will rule!" Crossvolt shouted transforming and driving off. When he was far enough away, Optimus walked over to Bumblebee. "Are you alright, Bumblebee?" He asked in concern.

Bumblebee looked up at his leader with a smile. "I'm better now that you're back online."

"Come on, Bumblebee. Let's get the rest of our comrades back online and catch up." Optimus said walking back into the Ark with Bumblebee.

*Abandoned Steel Mill*

The revived Decepticons were awaiting the revival of their leader which Crossvolt was taking care of. He had just poured the last of the Energon from his last test tube into his spark chamber and waited for it to work it's magic. Within a minute, the gray Decepticon's optics sparked to life. He sat up and saw Crossvolt kneeling beside him. "Welcome back, Lord Megatron." Crossvolt bowed.

"Indeed, Crossvolt." Megatron said. "Things must've changed a lot while we were offline."

"Yes, Megatron. In fact, we are on a planet called Remnant which is filled with organic life. Surprisingly, this planet does have Energon on it." Crossvolt explained.

"There is more, isn't there." Megatron said.

"Unfortunately, the Autobots are back online as well, Lord Megatron." Crossvolt finished. Hearing that, Megatron growled but didn't overreact and instead kept calm. "Rest assured, Crossvolt. We will destroy the Autobots and win the war once and for all." Megatron said. "Are we the only Decepticons on this planet?"

"I'm not sure. But there are other Decepticons across the galaxy." Crossvolt said.

"Then we must start sucking this planet dry of all the Energon, and win the war once and for all!" Megatron announced walking into a main part of the mill where the other Decepticons were waiting for him. "ALL HAIL MEGATRON!" They bowed. However, one of them was chuckling something sinister.

*The Ark*

The rest of the Autobots aboard the Ark had been reactivated and scanned alternate modes, with help from the group of eight. Now, they were catching their memories up and get used to their situation while chatting with the group. By now, the group had learned the names of the bots and learned more of the gist of the Transformers war.

"So we're on your planet which is named Remnant?" A white, green and red Autobot named Wheeljack asked.

"Yes." Ren replied.

"And you guys the dominant species?" A white, blue and red striped Autobot called Jazz continued.

"Exactly." Pyrrha said simply.

"And the Decepticons are revived as well?" A military green Autobot named Hound finished.

"That last one is unfortunate." Weiss answered.

"We owe you eight thanks for helping Bumblebee and getting us back online." Optimus Prime thanked.

"Oh, it was nothing." Jaune said. "Bumblebee saved us, so it's the least we could do."

"Well, unfortunately you eight are now involved in our war." Optimus said somberly.

"Honestly, after witnessing all this today, we want to help you guys." Ruby announced with determination.

The Autobot's optics all widened. "Why would you want to help us?!" Ratchet was shocked. "This is a war. One wrong move and you go squish!"

"As I've said, doc. We're already involved, so we're gonna help you guys, whether you like it or not."

"I like that one, Wildfire." A red Autobot called Ironhide whispered to the red and purple Autobot.

"Agreed." Wildfire whispered back.

"Are you sure you wish to help us?" Optimus asked again.

"Totally! We'll help!" Ruby announced again.

"If you don't win this war, we all die." Blake reminded.

"You saved us today, so it's only fair that we help you." Weiss said with conviction.

"Yeah! Plus, you kind of need us."Pyrrha said. "Who's gonna help you maintain your cover?"

"We can show you around our planet also." Ren continued.

"We'll help you kick Decepticon ass!" Nora cheered enthusiastically. "We'll break their legs!"

"Besides, Bumblebee is already with me technically since he's my car." Jaune said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Very well." Optimus relented. "Bumblebee, you will remain with Jaune as his guardian."

"Actually, Optimus. I was hoping I could go with the blonde girl." Wildfire said quietly.

"If that is her choice." Optimus said.

"I'm cool with it, and my name's Yang." She said winking at the bot.

"Wildfire." The bot winked back.

The group of eight had gone through an extraordinary experience together. This was the start of a grand adventure regardless of being involved in a war. One thing's for sure: They would do their very best to help the Autobots win.


Hello, bots and cons. There's the second half and the end of the first chapter/episode. I hope you all like it. Yes, the Autobots and Decepticons have been reactivated and thus, the Transformers war has resumed on Remnant. Crossvolt is my OC I thought up for the story. I will also be using some Transformers few people have heard of. I have a couple plans for this story that I might or might not do. It depends on the readers. Wildfire is another Transformer OC of mine and it's a femme just for clarity and fembots such as Arcee are badass. If this feels a little rushed, I deeply apologize. Thanks for reading. As usual, please let me know what you think in the comments.

A/N: I'm watching out for readers to let me know if they have any character OCs they would like to see in the story. If you do, PM me and tell me their descriptions and any special abilities (If any) they might have.

A/N: Also, let me know what you would like to see in the next chapter/episode as I want to hear your suggestions for this fiction.
