AN: Hi guys, I managed to make this one quickly as usual. Just in case you haven't read my note, I informed there that even if RID is ending I'm gonna keep writing. That, after this, I'll rewrite "TFP&RID Return of Dark Energon". But well, let's continue with the story.

Let's Roll Out!

After visiting Griffin Rock, Elena took her Stars to visit Faixan, the newest city which knew the existence of Cybertronians and has taken a big step on technology for good use. Stars were excited like any tourist would in a new place. Taking pictures, trying different things. Well, it was much different since people knew who they were and sometimes asked questions about their race or planet or other things. Elena, however, was treated like a special guest, since she was the daughter of the Prime. Elena even got to see her friends in Rescue team who now worked there. Surprisingly, some had even asked her permission if they could make a TV series of the adventures of Autobots. Sure, they have already series and talk shows of Rescue bot, but they also liked to have other stories. Once she heard it will be just with human casting so it won't raise suspicion, she agreed as long she will know who has what role, so she can help to get well into their characters. While seeing new places, Stars even get excited to try dance and sing on the outdoor stage. In fact, they were so good that they were asked to perform once in a while. Yeah. if the mission ends soon they could always become superstars.

"Can we stay a bit longer?" Strength asked while they all were eating in a local restaurant.

"Yeah, there so many places to see and try." Gaia agreed.

"Normally I would say sure, but you know we have to help Bee team." Elena reminds while took another dumpling. "And it's up to us to protect this planet from any danger related to Cybertron."

"But there isn't much, but just stunticons." Flame said.

"Well, actually I checked the Alchemor's prisoner's manifest and compared it to the list we got from Toolbox." Peace said and showed the tablet. "It looks like they did got most of them back, but I spot few names that didn't come back." Peace said. hearing this, Young, Flame, Aqua, and Gaia spit their drinks out of their mouths hearing that. Well, Ash was shocked too to hear that, but she wasn't drinking that time and even if she was she already has shallow it. Elena just remained quiet

"You mean we still have some cons to find." Flame asked.

"Well, there isn't much really." Peace said. "Actually just a few."

"Is it someone familiar?" Strength joked.

"Let me see," Elena said quickly and picked the tablet and looked through the list.

"Sis..." Peace tried to say, but that look in her face told her that something was up. Actually, all Stars noticed it and got bit worried. What is she looking for there? After a while checking Elena just sighs and gives the tablet back.

"So..."

"Two familiars," Elena said. Young and other started to get worried.

"Oh my..."

"Who?"

"Please don't be..."

"Crazy frog and knowing-all ape," Elena said. Hearing this all five Stars sighs for relief, while Strength, Peace, and Sweet remained confused.

"Crazy frog?" Strength asked.

"He believes to be 'worthy' to find the lost city of Doradus. But obviously, he doesn't know to read and speaks to lifeless statues." Gaia explained.

"Yeah, he is crazy." Flame said.

"I agree with the 'worthy' part, but..." Peace said.

"Please, don't tell it is real," Elena said.

"Kinda. I'm not sure actually. LightStar knew something about it." Peace said.

"LightStar?"

"My former-self didn't ask much about it because it was handled by first Star of the earth element."

"Oh yeah. Earth rule." Strength said.

"By what I understood, on that time Doradus was a place where LightStar practiced to make synthetic energon, which why you could say it has fountain full of energon. The first Star of Earth companied her to look after her because even if she was chosen after AlphaStar, she was still young. However, one time some bots found the place and there came battle of it. It was too much that First Star of Earth secured that no one will find the place and cleared every memory of its location."

"That's why many say that it is a myth," Aqua said.

"Yes. Obviously, it meant to keep it that way. However, I think LightStar mention a map to Doradus."

"A map?"

"Oh, let's hope Springload doesn't find it." Gaia joked.

"The map was placed inside a sphere, which must be opened properly or it will explode."

"You mean as in small bum or..."Flame asked

"It could destroy a city."

"So, it is a big bum." Strength said.

"Where is that sphere?" Elena asked.

"I don't know. According to LightStar, it was thrown away." Peace said.

"Why?"

"I don't know."

After a while, they had finished their meals.

"Now for the cookie!" Sweet cheers.

"Cookie?"

"Sweet, you already had Supreme sundae as dessert." Elena remind.

"I mean fortune cookie. We are in China. We were supposed to have fortune cookies."

All other Stars looked at Elena confused while she pinched between her eyes. Right then, the waitress came with the bill and nine fortune cookies. Sweet quickly picked one to herself and cheers. Elena looks embarrassed at the waitress, who just smiles for understanding. Who could be mad at an adorable girl like SweetStar?

"So, what is with these fortune cookies?" Strength asked while picks one.

"Sometimes in Chinese food after the meal comes this fortune cookie, which has tiny paper inside," Elena explains. "In these papers is written an aphorism, or a vague prophecy, mostly aphorism."

"Okay..."Young said while picks one too.

"Has there really been a prophecy in these?" Flame asked while picks one too.

"They are usually simple ones that manage to pass quickly," Elena said.

"Do we have to eat it now?" Aqua asked while picks one too.

"Not if you don't want to, but these are still cookies. they actually taste good too." Elena said. Soon each Star has picked one fortune cookie, including Elena herself. After walking a while in the city, they decided it was time to return back to Scrapyard.

In the night time in the scrapyard, a ground bridge appears and Elena with all the Stars came through. They used the ground bridge which Rescue team uses when they need to go help others.

"Well, that was fun," Ash said.

"Can we eat the cookies?" Sweet asks.

Elena didn't have time to answer when Grimlock passes through in hurry.

"Grimlock, where are you...Ah!" Gaia tried to ask before bots came through in their vehicle mode in great speed.

"Guys! What's going on?!" Young asked. Elena could hear another engine behind them, but this time she went to get close and stop whoever is coming. It was Denny's pick up truck and to their luck, it stops.

"Oh thank the Primes you came back!" Russell said while shows up from the side window.

"What's going on?" Elena asked.

"Get in and we explain on the way before they turn each other into scrap," Denny shout from the car.

That sure made Elena and Stars to rushed into the car. Elena went with Russell and Denny, while all the Stars had to sit in the cargo area. It was uncomfortable to have all eight there, but right now it didn't matter if something was going on with bots.

"What you mean by 'before they turn each other into scrap'?" Elena asked.

"It's because of the sphere," Russell said.

"Sphere?"

"They went to capture skunkticon which was said to be one Alchemor's prisoner," Denny explained.

"Ah, yes. PeaceStar told that she noticed that few criminals weren't in the list when it came back."

"Well, they managed to capture him, but they also took the sphere he had. We didn't know what it was, so we called Optimus to see if he knows something about it." Russell continued.

"What father said?" Elena asked fearing the possible answer.

"He said, It could possibly be Sphere of Doradus, which hold the map to that lost city of energon and..."

"... could explode a whole city if it is not open properly." Elena finished.

"How did you?" Denny asked.

"According to my Star of wind's former life, the Sphere was thrown away!" Elena said before shout the two last word that other could hear it.

"I don't know how it was thrown away, it happened before I was forged." Peace shouts back.

"So, you the sphere is real?" Russell asked.

"I'm not sure. But if it is, It's not meant to be found ever again. It caused too much pain to the Stars that they were ready to wipe all the memories about its existence."

"Well, did you know it also makes every bot crazy to make ' bot battling against brother bot' kind of fights?" Denny said.

"It what?"

"They started to fight over it, including Fixit," Russell said. Elena knocks hard behind the vehicle to get Stars' attention.

"Peace, you never told that sphere will make everyone greedy about it!"

Now all other Stars looked at her.

"I didn't know that! But it would make sense why it was thrown away!"

"Great! We're dealing Cybertronian version of that movie." Elena said.

"You mean the one, where there's magical ring, which caused everyone to wanted so badly, only to lure them to darkness and the only way to destroy it was to throw it into the volcano where it was made?" Gaia asked.

Deep silence.

"Yes"

"Oh, we could that group, whose mission is to take it to the volcano," Sweet said.

"Sweet!"

"What?"

"There they are!" Russell pointed where all five Autobots and Dinobot stood. "Good.

You guys have stopped fighting."

"We don't know why we were fighting in the first place." Sideswipe wondered.

"Because the legend of the Sphere is real!" Russell said.

"I'm not willing to go that far. There's a logical answer to this, but we need to find it. Fast." Bumblebee said.

"But Elena told..." Denny tried to say before Elena covers his mouth.

"As much I agree with you, I say we don't rush in. Have you contacted Fixit?" Elena suggested, which made Stars, Denny, and Russell confused.

"Fixit! Fixit, are you there?" Bumblebee called.

"Thank goodness. I've been trying to contact you, but you shut off your comm link! I believe the Sphere's energy emissions, though slight, are affecting your minds." Fixit answered

"Energy emissions. Nothing mystical." Bumblebee said.

"I doubt it, sir. Are you still near the Sphere?"

"Springload just ran off with it," Sideswipe said.

"Scrap!" all Star shout at the same time.

"What Wait Springload? That's terrible! If he tries to activate the map, he could annihilate all of Crown City!"

"That's just another part of the legend, Fixit," Strongarm said.

"You wanna take the chance that part of the legend isn't true?" Fixit noted.

"All right, but only because we don't know everything about that Sphere's capabilities. Okay, team, let's rev up..."

"Wait! You can't get anywhere near that thing again! You'll tear each other limb from limb!" Denny reminded.

"Yeah! And you almost drive through us." Gaia said.

"How do we keep its energy from affecting us?" Strongarm asked

"Well, if it's an energy shielding problem, some sort of metallic reflector might work."

"What, like tinfoil hats?" Denny asked.

"Hm No. I have something different in mind." Bumblebee said.

While Autobots were tracking Springload, Elena, Denny, and Russell went pick tinfoil with Peace, Strength, and Sweet. Peace, Strength, and Sweet were supposed to help to hold connection just in the case goes somewhere where they can't make contact to Fixit.

"Why you didn't tell them about the connection of sphere and Stars," Russell asked from Elena.

"LightStar and First Star of Earth worked so hard to keep the Sphere away from Cybertronians."

"Obviously, since Sphere made everyone around it so greedy, they were ready to break into Star Tower." Strength reminded.

"If I would have told them about that. Bumblebee would have wanted to help to retrieve it, but then everyone will get affected by its energy emissions and started to fight again."

"How did it affect on Stars?" Denny asked.

"I'm not sure. If I could make a dimensional call to Star realm, I could ask LightStar herself." Elena said.

"Let me try that." Peace said. This Surprised everyone. "I hold some memories of former PeaceStar, maybe I could get the connection there through her."

"But Peace..."

"It is kinda also my fault. If I would have known sphere could create energy emission, which can make bots to want it, we would have managed to get rid of it."

"We don't blame you, sis." Strength said.

"Yeah. I don't either know all that I did in my former life." Sweet said.

"Maybe that's why you're too childish."

"Hey!"

"We got the tinfoil," Denny informed.

"Okay. Peace, Try if you can get to Star realm and ask about the Sphere and inform it to me." Elena said.

"Right." Peace said before Elena went with Denny and Russell to Autobots.

"Aww, Now they can through the ring to the volcano. Wouldn't that make us to those two tiny ones who didn't do much?"

"Sweet!"

Autobots had managed to track Springload to city's particle accelerator. Other Stars had had already in their element outfits.

"Why are you so sure Springload's here?" Blurr asked.

"It's the only place in Crown City where he can expose the Sphere to a neutronic beam." Bumblebee explained.

"And 'cause he used his acid coated skin to burn his way in!" Sideswipe added while they all entered the building. Inside bots transformed and girls get out.

"Weapons only, don't grab him with your bare hands." Bumblebee reminded."Were you able to find a large quantity of reflective metal?"

"Yeah, but I thought you said no tinfoil hats," Russell said.

"I believe, his plan involves something else to wrap up," Elena said.

"Okay, when we find Springload, ignore the Sphere, no matter how hard it is to do so. Focus on stopping the 'Con. Denny, Russell, you and Stars will help keep us on track."

"Right. If you start to lose it, remember the mantra: Ignore the Sphere." Denny reminded.

"And if that won't We girls don't fear using anyway to keep you down. Got it?" Elena asked from her Stars.

"Yes. um, one question? Which one of us the wizard?" Gaia asked.

Elena tried to hold down her anger. Why they had to have that movie marathon three weeks ago?

Soon, they spot Springload talking to the 'spirits' while he checked the control console.

"There it is That amazing Sphere," Sideswipe said before he soon started to have that greedy look in his optics.

"Ignore the Sphere!" Russell, Denny, and girls yelled. That sadly revealed them to Springload. He intended to escape with the sphere, but Strongarm managed shot sphere out of his hands and Jetstorm and Slipstream hurried there to cover it with tinfoil.

"I think it's working!" Blurr said. But right then, something was affecting them. It looked like something was affecting their heads.

"Or maybe not! Who cares when the Sphere is sitting right there waiting to be taken?" Sideswipe said before sphere's effects start to affect them again and they went for the sphere.

"Girls, get ready. Whatever happens, let's just try to knock them out and get rid off… the ball" Elena said.

"Okay, I could...Aah..."Young said before she started to feel pressure on her head.

"Young, Ignore the sphere. Ignore the sphere!" Gaia said.

"I am ignoring it. I just feel like my head is in pressure machine."

"Pressure?" Elena wondered. Soon it wasn't affecting only on Young if not also with Aqua, Flame, and Ash. you know, when you had a really bad headache that you had to lay down, they were having that. But to Elena's surprise, Gaia didn't have that.

"You'll make this much easier if you just surrender and let me take the Sphere." Bumblebee said.

"You?"

"Perhaps you do not realize the Sphere clearly belongs to me!" Slipstream said.

"No, me! It's mine! " Jetstorm said before both mini-cons start to fight.

"Mini-cons too?" Elena asked.

"Ignore the Sphere!" Russell and Denny kept trying again.

"Insolent youths! Deliver the Sphere to your teacher!" Drift said while also tried to take the sphere. It didn't before all bots jump on into huge dogpile, Grimlock on top.

"I think we should have stayed in China bit more," Gaia said to Elena, who simply nodded to agree.

"Guys! Springload is getting away!" Russell said. Soon they all heard something to start heat up.

"He's switched on the accelerator! It's warming up to be fired!" Denny said. Right then something was affecting on bots. It looked like they were hearing something very loud and painful. "The Sphere didn't have that effect before."

"What's happening to them?" Russell asked

"Must be something on a frequency only the bots can hear," Denny said.

"Well, I don't hear nothing," Gaia said.

"Me neither," Elena said.

"Guys, fight it! Springload could shatter the Sphere!"

"Argh! Who cares? My head's about to shatter! Ugh!" Sideswipe complained.

"The Sphere! We don't care about the Sphere anymore! Maybe it's the accelerator's power coils... When the energy from the Sphere passes through the charged coils, could it change the effect from stimulating greed to this horrible sound?" Bumblebee guessed.

Suddenly Elena's watch was blinking, indicating a message. Elena answers it It was Peace.

"Elena, I understand that you are where is particle accelerator. How are others?"

"Complaining about some loud noise which we can't hear."

"And girls?"

Elena looks for other Star.s It looks like they had passed out.

"They had pressure first when the sphere was wrapped in tinfoil, but now they passed out."

"all of them?"

"Except Gaia Why?"

"The only ones who can handle the sphere is either Star of Earth, nature and Star Supreme. LightStar was once Star of nature. It means only you or Gaia can hold the sphere without any side-effects."

"Is there a way to handle the sphere without that it explodes?" Elena asked.

"There is one way, but I believe you know what it is."

"I understand," Elena said while ending the call. Right then bots manage to calm down.

"Ugh! That's better." Strongarm said.

"Springload must have taken the Sphere out of range," Bumblebee said.

"Good!"

"No! Bad! Springload is about to hit the Sphere with the neutronic beam! If the Sphere breaks…"

"That's a myth, Russell, but just in case…" Bumblebee said and finds some tools humans had left. "Drift, you and Blurr look for a battery and lots of wire."

"We might neutralize the Sphere's effects when near it." Drift realized.

"I just spoke with Peace. According to what she has learned, only I can shut its effects." Elena said. Bumblebee nodded for understanding.

"Okay, team. We're going to be feeling the Sphere's energy full force. So, what are we gonna do?"

"Ignore the Sphere!" everyone said.

"Right! Rev up and roll out!" Bumblebee, Strongarm, Sideswipe, and Grimlock went to stop Springload with a blanket, so they won't touch his acid skin.

Springload was about to move the sphere to the neurotic beam intent to open it but is stopped when Bee and others come to hold him away. Grimlock was going to help, but Sphere's effect started to affect him until Bumblebee suggested something Grimlock would like to do. Punching. And that was enough to knockout Springload.

Meanwhile, Drift and Blurr came with mini-cons, Gaia and Elena to handle the sphere.

"Why it glows?" Gaia asked.

"I believe, it tries to increase its power to affect their minds." Elena guessed.

"Why?"

"Every bot has something that they desire, but will they be ready to give up for the greed or holding on what truly is important."

"You mean, Sphere is testing them?" Gaia asked confused while trying to cover her eyes.

"Jetstorm, Slipstream, quickly!" Drift told to his students.

Jetstorm and Slipstream moved slowly to the sphere while trying to ignore it until managed to put a wire cage around it and add the battery. But once doing it, there was loud painful sound again.

"I take sphere doesn't like to be ignored." Gaia guessed.

"Get it out of here!" Bumblebee told Russell and Denny who came with rubber gloves to collect the sphere.

"Mine!" Springload shout and whip by his tongue to get the sphere, which got out of the wire cage. In a matter of seconds Elena summoned her staff and right before sphere touched the ground, Elena hit it with her staff that sphere shattered into tiny pieces. everyone started to recover from any affects sphere had caused.

"You...broke it" Gaia stated the obvious.

"It's better this way," Elena said, while picked something among the shards.

"What is it?" Denny asked.

"The very first sample of synthetic energon LightStar made. It obviously was special to remember her time with her sisters, before they passed away." Elena said and showed the small tube of energon.

"It was a myth. Just like you said." Russell said.

"No. Doradus is real, and I will find it someday," Springload said before passed out. After getting beaten and to handle loud noise was too much to him.

"In your dreams, crazy frog," Gaia said.

In the morning team gets rid of the remains of the sphere, while Elena and other Stars were helping Young, Aqua, Flame, and Ash to recover.

"So you broke it?" Strength asked.

"I think you made a wise choice," Peace said.

"I believe so too," Elena said. "If the map really was in the sphere, it's long gone and Doradus remains as a myth. Just like LightStar wished so."

All the Stars smiled on that answer.

"So, does that makes you like the human who managed to fight against the ring and became the ruler of the land?" Sweet asked.

In this, all Stars groaned.

REVIEWS, PLSSS ^^

AN: There. I tell you it was fun write this one. However, don't forget that Stars still have those fortune cookies What they will tell them? You learn it in next chapter.
