The two femmes began a fierce battle with the two large mechs. They kicked and punched in a fast and almost chaotic manner. They fought nothing like the Sisters that they knew.
The two Autobot leaders threw heavy punches at the two femmes but they dodged them easily.
"C'mon c'mon! You can do better than that! It would be much more satisfying to know that you fought back when we bring you back to the Ark!" Chromia mocked.
"The Ark? That is your base?" Optimus asked. "How can that be?"
"Why? Didn't the Cons teach you anything?" Chromia asked.
"None of this makes sense!" Jack exclaimed. He and Raf were quickly backing away from the battling Titans but they were stopped by the giant pede of Cliffjumper.
"Hey. Maybe I can't kill you but we still have to take you back to base." Cliffjumper spoke casually.
Jack grabbed Raf's wrist and began to run.
"Aha ha ha! You can't catch me! You can't catch me!" Chromia laughed as she continued to dodge Optimus.
"Come now. You can do better than this can't you?" Arcee spoke as she slashed at Ultra Magnus once again.
The femmes were right. The two Autobot commanders were holding back immensely. After all, they were fighting their own comrades. Perhaps their colours and personalities were totally off, but they felt uncomfortable fighting full strength against those who wore the faces of their friends.
"Hey! Let us go!" Jack shouted from the servo of Cliffjumper.
"Captured like this twice in one day." Raf sighed.
The femmes stopped their attacks, and Elita One stepped forward.
"Now, you can either come with us peacefully. Or you can watch your pets slowly crushed by our comrade. It is your choice." Elita spoke.
Optimus sighed. "Very well."
Elita smiled then raised her servo to her comm. link. "Ratchet, send a groundbridge. And ready your lab. We are bringing you some new test subjects."
The swirling green portal came into being and Cliffjumper entered first, human children still in hand. He was followed by Optimus and Ultra Magnus.
They emerged inside of the Ark. However, it, like their comrades, were vastly different from the one they had built.
It was dark, and the prominent colour was purple, similar to the Nemesis. Only, this was the Ark.
There were several monitors glowing red with numbers, diagrams, and formulas. Two dark blue and black drones, who looked eerily similar to Decepticon Vehicons, with purple Autobot insignias were waiting on the other side of the groundbridge portal.
"Yes. Oh yes. What wonderful looking specimens you are." Someone cackled from behind them.
It was Ratchet. His chassis and wherever else there was usually orange was a deep red, and every where else was a light silver. His optics were scarlet and he was smiling like there was no tomorrow. That alone was odd.
"Now put them on the berths I prepped and strap them down tightly. I don't want them squirming too much when I begin my experiments." Ratchet ordered.
"Hey doc. What do I do with the humans?" Cliffjumper asked.
Ratchet looked up close to the two boys as Optimus and Ultra Magnus were strapped down to the med berths. Ratchet waved at Cliffjumper dismissively.
"Find a flask or tube you can put them in." Ratchet said. "Maybe an empty Energon cube."
Cliffjumper nodded and went off to find something along those lines.
"Now. As for you two." Ratchet began. "I have many questions. Some you can give me willingly. Others I will discover for myself."
"Ratchet." Elita spoke.
"Yes Lady Elita?" Ratchet replied not taking his optics off his test subjects.
"It is with your interests in mind that I suggest you wait until our Lord returns before you begin." Elita finished. She said it so calmly and quietly, but it was laced with the air of a threat. Optimus wondered what she would be like in a fight.
Ratchet sighed disappointedly. "Alright. I will wait. But I am more than sure that Lord Prime will approve of my experiments."
"Then you have nothing to fear." Elita replied.
Ratchet walked out of the lab, muttering to himself angrily.
"Hmf. Arrogant scientist." Arcee commented.
"Now now Arcee. Don't be rude. The doctor is a valued member of the Autobots. Plus, he gives us many lovely dolls to play with. Wouldn't you agree?" Chromia said in sing song voice.
"Yeah. I guess your right." Arcee agreed.
"Optimus. Do you have any ideas on where we are?" Ultra Magnus whispered.
"As a matter of fact I do. I believe that we may have crossed into another dimensional plane." Optimus replied.
"What? How is that possible? Is that possible?" Ultra Magnus wondered.
"Indeed it is. Long before you arrived on Earth the human children were thrown into a Shadowzone. A dimension that underlies the fabric of our own. They were stranded there as a result of two groundbridges opening at the same frequencies." Optimus explained.
"There were two groundbridges open before everything went to the Pit back in that cave. But this is an entirely parallel world. Could the two groundbridges have done this?" Ultra Magnus asked.
Optimus thought for a moment. "I believe that whatever the Decepticons were working on gave the groundbridges a boost of power."
Ultra Magnus nodded. "So how do we get out?"
Cliffjumper had returned with Jack and Raf trapped in a flask. He placed them on a table near the Sisters. Arcee smiled and tapped on the glass.
"One situation at a time commander. First we have to find a way out here." Optimus spoke.
"Agreed." Ultra Magnus replied. "Do you have any ideas?"
Optimus shook his helm frustratedly. Ultra Magnus sighed.
Just how were they going to get out of this without joining this world's Allspark?
SG Decepticons coming next chapter! And maybe some familiar ones too?
