Me: Hey bitches! Wassup?
Renamon: Show was your week, AK?
Me: Oh I can't complain. I knocked out this chapter, I spent some time with my baby nephew, all in all it wasn't bad.
Takamon: Did you do anything else?
Me: Oh yeah. I went to Gamestop and pre-ordered a reserved copy of the new game "Transformers: War For Cybertron".
Kazu: Oh yeah! I saw the trailer for that game on Youtube. It looks so badass!
Me: You're telling me. And if you pre-order it with GameStop you get an exclusive character. It's Shockwave.
Tai: That's awesome!
Violet: Shockwave? Didn't me and Trevor kill Shockwave back in the first story?
Trevor: Yeah. We killed him way back when the battle scenes were a lot shorter than usual.
Me: Regardless of that, Shockwave is still an awesome Decepticon. It was just a shame I had to kill him off so early.
Rika: Why DID you kill him off so early anyways?
Kari: Yeah. He's one of the most powerful Decepticons yet he got beat so easily by only two AutoKnights.
Trevor: Respect.
Gatomon: I agree with Kari. You couldn't have killed off Starscream instead?
Me: I killed off Blackout AND Swindle last chapter! Isn't that enough?
Trevor: Yeah that was cool and all, but we HATE Starscream.
Fry: Don't forget about his two twin brothers Skywarp and Thundercracker.
Steve: Oh yeah. I forgot all about those bastards.
Kenta: Are they really that annoying?
Me: They are but let's get rolling. I don't own the Incredibles, Transformers, American Dad, Digimon Adventure, Digimon Tamers or Futurama. Trevor Bauer and Takamon I DO own.
Trevor: As always…
Me: If they make a joke you'll kill them. We get it all right?
(Trevor and Takamon glare. Trevor Grabs AK's neck)
Trevor: Don't EVER interrupt our lines!
Takamon: Undertsand?!
Me: Ack! I got it! I got it. I fucking got it!
(Trevor releases AK)
Me: Sweet lord.
The AutoKnights V: When Many Worlds Collide
Chapter 6: Introductions
(Cybertron; Secret Decepticon Underground HQ; 11:45 AM Earth Time)
In the secret underground base of the Decepticons, the evil doers went about their own business. In the main chamber of the base, the faction leader, Megatron stood at 35 feet tall with grey alien tank armor and waited for a report on Blackout's mission. Then another Decepticon entered the room. This Decepticon had a very broad and wide body with wings coming out of his shoulders. On his right wing was the Decepticon insignia. It was colored in black along with the rest of his Cybertronian decals. He kneeled before his master.
"You summoned me, lord Megatron?" he said.
Megatron looked down.
"Ah, Starscream. Tell me. Were Blackout and Swindle successful in their mission?" Megatron asked.
"I am not sure yet master. Skywarp is said to be the one with the report." Starscream responded.
"Well find him and bring him to me. I want to know how it went, and I want to know now." Megatron said.
Starscream left the room and came back with Skywarp a few minutes later. Skywarp looked just like Starscream except he had a black and purple paint scheme and a differently shaped head.
"Skywarp, do you have the news?" Megatron said.
Starscream pushed Skywarp forward and Skywarp made a sound that sounded like a mechanical *GULP*.
"Y-yes my liege. But you aren't going to like it." Skywarp said.
"And what is it I won't like?" Megatron asked.
"I'm afraid Blackout and Swindle…were destroyed by the AutoKnights."
"WHAAAAAAAAATTTTT??!!??!!
Megatron screamed so loud the whole base shook. Megatron approached Skywarp and Skywarp started to cower.
"How could they BOTH have been destroyed?!" Megatron shouted.
"With seven AutoKnights and three of those digital life forms, they were able to my master." Skywarp said.
"Those data creatures again? But I thought only one of them had enough power to stand up to us." Megatron said.
"It seems that the other two somehow evolved into stronger forms." Skywarp said.
Megatron growled and stormed away. He walked to the giant screen on the wall and right next to him was his trusted ally, Soundwave. Soundwave was just as big as Megatron with alien satellite armor.
"Soundwave, playback the recording of the fight. Laserbeak was there witnessing it, was he not?" Megatron said.
"He was Megatron." Soundwave said in his usual monotone voice.
"Then play it back." Megatron said.
Soundwave ejected a cord out of his finger and it plugged into the screen. When it did, the screen fuzzed a bit and then it showed a clear image of Swindle being sliced in half by Sideswipe. As Megatron growled at the image, the screened transitioned to Blackout with Optimus and Jetfire on his head and shoulder. Then he saw Angemon and Angewomon shoot their own attacks right through him.
"Who were those two?" Megatron asked referring to the two angel Digimon.
"Those were the two other digital life forms that accompany the AutoKnights. This was their first time in battle with us." Soundwave said. "But it appears they can only achieve that power if those two AutoKnight spies are with them."
"Then capturing them would be useless." Megatron said. "But the other one I still have an interest in."
The screen flickered and then showed a paused image of Takamon holding his staff over his head.
"Yes. Him." Megatron said. "Although he is a small creature, he still has a sufficient amount of power. That kind of strength could be very useful to our cause. Wouldn't you agree, Starscream?" Megatron said.
"I do fully, master. But making him turn won't be easy. He is devoted to his AutoKnight companions and seems to greatly favor their side." Starscream said.
"If we DID make him turn, then it wouldn't be the first time someone defected from the human side." Megatron said.
"You're talking about HER again. Aren't you?" Starscream said.
"Yes. She has received my orders and will soon be watching over one of the AutoKnights new allies." Megatron said. "All the while we will make preparations for our return to Earth."
"What shall we do about the loss of Blackout?" Skywarp asked.
"We shall simply replace him, Skywarp. Find Grindor and get him ready." Megatron said.
"Yessir." Skywarp said as he got up and left.
Megatron looked back to the screen where the image of Takamon was still up on it.
"And we will figure out how to make you see the way of the Decepticons my little friend. You may have been able to resist us once, but as soon as soon as hear my offer, I think you won't be able to resist anymore."
Megatron then let out a bit of evil laughter.
(Tokyo Japan; Beach area; 11:55 AM)
It was nearing noon and the sun was giving off its brightest shine on the city below. Through the streets drove the AutoKnights undercover in their vehicle modes with the tamers inside. Some of the Digimon were inside of them while the other ones that were too big just followed in their own way. Even though they were undercover, they were still be stared at. Well, Ironhide was because she had Swindle's remains in her pickup bed. When they got close to the beach, Optimus took the lead and turned into an alley way. When the six grounded knights were all inside the alley, Optimus let out his passengers and transformed back into his human mode. The AutoKnight leader then walked over to the wall of the alley and opened up a secret hatch. Behind it was a small palm scanner with a red and green light on top. Optimus pressed his palm down in the lining on the scanner and the light turned green. When that happened, the entire ground started to slowly angle down. Optimus quickly transformed back into his 379 mode and opened up his doors, Takato, Guilmon, Henry and Terriermon all got back inside and Optimus drove down the ramp with the rest of his team following behind him. The Digimon outside followed them into the hatch, leaving Jetfire with Blackout's corpse flying outside.
"Teletraan, I need a way inside." Jetfire said through his radio.
"I'll open up a space bridge to my chamber, Jetfire. Just give me a second." Teletraan responded.
Jetfire complied and waited until in the sky, a huge space bridge opened up and Jetfire flew into it. When he did, the bridge closed behind him.
Meanwhile, the rest of the AutoKnights were driving down a see-through tunnel on the ocean floor. They passed through an invisible force field and the Tamers and the Digimon tailing them all saw that house of the knights. They were absolutely blown away.
"It's pretty, Jeri." Calumon said.
"Uh huh. It's very pretty." Jeri said.
"If you think the outside is pretty, just wait until you see the inside." Ironhide said.
Jeri jumped a little and Ironhide just chuckled.
"Don't be scared. It's still me you're talking to." Ironhide said.
"That's just creepy." Rika said.
"Hey I think it is too. But when it's my own voice, it's awesome." Ironhide said.
Rika shook her head and the knights kept on driving. When they neared the rock formation, a door opened up in the rock and they all went through. After driving up another dark tunnel, another door opened up and a bright light shone, when they reached the light, the Tamers saw that they were in a large room with a big computer screen that fitted the wall. They also saw that Jetfire was already there in his human mode standing in front of Blackout's body. The other six knights all came to a stop and let out their passengers. They then transformed into their human modes and turned to face the tamers and their Digimon.
"You guys are the real deal, aren't you?" Kenta said.
"We have given no evidence that we're fakes." Sideswipe said.
"I heard that." Kazu said.
Angemon and Angewomon de-digivolved back to Patamon and Gatomon and jumped into their partners arms.
"You guys did great." Bumblebee said.
"I'm just happy you and Arcee are okay." Patamon said.
"Wait a minute…" Takato said.
Takato took a good hard look at Bumblebee, Arcee, and Jetfire. After a minute of staring and concentrating, the light bulb in his head lit up. He looked at Jetfire.
"Are you Tai Kamiya by any chance?" Takato asked.
Everyone looked at him.
"Takato, how can that be Tai Kamiya?" Henry said. "I mean sure he looks a lot like him but…"
"How do you know my name?" Jetfire asked.
That's when all of the Tamers eyes went as wide as they possibly could.
"Wait. You mean your name is actually Tai Kamiya?" Ryo asked.
"Yeah. Well right now I go by Jetfire but Tai is my birth given name."
"Huh? What do you mean by your birth given name?" Jeri asked.
"This is going to be one long story. So how about we start with simple introductions?" Optimus said. "Like I said, we are the AutoKnights. We are humans with special powers that protect this world from destruction. We are not always AutoKnights 24-7 though. We are normal people when there is peace. When we become our AutoKnight forms, our names change. Right now my name is Optimus Prime. I'm the leader of this group."
"My name is Ironhide. I'm the weapons specialist."
"I'm Ratchet, the team's medic. You can call me 'doc-knight' too."
"You already know both of my names. I'm Jetfire. I'm the flying spy."
"I'm Bumblebee and this is my girlfriend Arcee. Us two are the main spy agents on this team."
"My name is Sideswipe. I'm this team's combat instructor."
Optimus then looked down at Takamon.
"I believe you already know Takamon here." Optimus said.
"S'up?" Takamon said.
"And this is Patamon and Gatomon. Our other two Digimon allies." Arcee said.
"And what are your names when you're not AutoKnights?" Rika asked.
"Well before we answer that, can we power down, Prime?" Sideswipe asked.
"Yeah alright. Power down." Optimus said.
Patamon and Gatomon jumped out of their partner's hands then all seven AutoKnights closed their eyes, clenched on of their fists, and held it up in front of their faces. Then their suits began to glow dimly and slowly disappear from sight. In about a minutes time, their suits were gone and their rings were back on their fingers. They had become their normal selves again.
"What just happened?" Impmon asked in amazement.
"They became their normal selves again." Takamon said.
"Normal selves?" Renamon asked.
"So does that mean you go by your real names now?" Henry asked.
"Precisely." Trevor said. "My name is Trevor. Trevor Jackson Bauer."
"I'm Violet Parr."
"Phillip Fry. But everyone just calls me Fry."
"My name is Steve Smith."
"You already know me. I'm Tai Kamiya."
"I'm Kari Kamiya. Tai's sister."
"I'm Takeru Takaishi. But I like TK better."
"Hold up!" Kazu nearly shouted.
Everyone looked at Kazu.
"Tai Kamiya, Kari Kamiya, and TK Takaishi. Could it be possible?" Kazu said as he slowly approached Tai.
"Uh kid, what are you doing?" Tai asked.
"Are you real?" Kazu asked.
"Oooohhhh I get it." Takamon said. "Yes kid, they are who you think they are. They're the same kids from that show you watched."
Kazu and everyone went wide eyed again.
"You mean you guys really are…" Kazu said.
TK, Kari, and Tai smirked as they reached down onto their waists and pulled out their digivices. They held them out and showed them to the Tamers.
"We are exactly who you think we are." TK said.
All of the Tamers couldn't believe it. Five characters from a show they watched were now standing right in front of them. Then Kazu and Kenta fell to their knees in front of them and bowed.
"We are your humble servants!" They both shouted.
The three digidestined and the two partner Digimon just looked at them confused.
"You mean to tell me that the Digimon TV series is 100 percent real?" Henry asked.
Trevor nodded. "It's as real as the rings on our fingers."
"But…how?" Rika asked.
"It's a long story but we'll try to explain as best as we can." Violet said.
"Yeah, and maybe we should do this on the upper level where it's more comfortable." Steve said. Then he looked at Takato. "Uuuummm…is he okay?"
Takato was just standing there staring at Tai with his jaw dropped and his eyes wide. He was not moving in any way.
"Takato?" Rika said as she waved her hand in front of his face.
"Takatomon?" Guilmon said to his partner.
Terriermon moved up one of his large ears and gently tapped Takato's forehead. Takato slowly started to lean back and then he just fell to the ground and fainted.
Everyone gathered around him and looked down.
"Is that normal?" Trevor asked Henry.
"Not really." Henry responded. "But I'm not surprised. He just met Tai Kamiya. He's his long time idol."
"Idol?" Tai asked. "Is that why he has goggles on?"
"Yep." Henry said.
"Well I wanna hear their story so let's get him up and go." Rika said.
Cyberdramon stepped in, picked up Takato, and flopped him over his giant shoulder. The Tamers then followed the AutoKnight team to a nearby elevator as Takamon went over to Teletraan's computer board and plugged in the portable device. He then caught up to the group where they had some difficulty fitting in to the elevator.
"Ok Ok! Let's try all backing out and going up in separate groups!" Steve shouted.
They all backed out and did exactly what Steve proposed. In a matter of a few minutes, they were all on the upper level which meant they were above the rock formation and in the actual house. They all walked into the front room and they all had a seat.
"I'm sorry. We gave out our names but we don't know any of yours." Kari said.
"Oh right! Uh, my name is Henry Wong and this is my partner, Terriermon. And this below me id my sister Suzie and her partner Lopmon."
"Hello." Suzie said with a smile.
"My name is Jeri Katou. And this here is Calumon."
"My name is Ryo Akiyama. And the big guy here is my partner, Cyberdramon."
Cyberdramon simply bowed.
"I'm Rika Nonaka. She's Renamon."
"I'm Impmon. I have partners too, but they're just not here right now. They're at home sick."
"My name is Kazu and he's Kenta! We are your absolute biggest fans!"
"I'm Guardromon, Kazu's partner. And this is Marineangemon, Kenta's partner."
"Hello hello." Marineangemon said.
"It's very nice to meet all of you. But you left out the guy who fainted and his partner." Kari said.
Right when she said that, Takato started to come to and Cyberdramon put him down. Takato opened up his eyes and saw that Tai, TK, Kari, Patamon, and Gatomon were still there. So he wasn't dreaming.
"Did I miss anything?" Takato asked.
"We were just introducing ourselves to them. You're the only one that's left, hon." Rika said.
"Oh okay." Takato said as he looked at the knights. "Well fist off, I'm a huge fan. My name is Takato Matsuki and this here is my partner, Guilmon."
"It's nice to meet you." Guilmon said.
"So when can we hear your stowy?" Suzie asked.
"Oh right." Trevor said. "Well…make yourselves comfortable and we'll start from the top."
As soon as everyone got a spot, the story began. Trevor started out by explaining Cybertron and the civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Then he explained how the rings they had became rings in the first place. Then Trevor and Violet said how they were originally from their own time in the sixties. Then they moved onto the first battle with Shockwave and how the two of them had to leave for the future. They all then explained how they all met and the battles they went through thus far. The whole story took as much as thirty minutes or more. Then they came to the part where they came to the world they're in now.
"So basically when we transported ourselves here, we somehow managed to pull our two worlds together." Tai said.
"Which means that our world is now your world and vice versa." TK said.
"So what you're basically saying is that you guys are an elite fighting force that protects this world from a group of evil giant robots from another planet who wants to kill all organics?" Henry asked.
"Pretty much." Fry said.
"And the rings on your fingers contain the power of similar robots with special powers." Renamon said.
"You got it." Gatomon said.
"And now we are within driving distance of the homes of the original digidestined that we used to watch on TV?" Kenta said.
"Pegged." Tai said.
"And that is the whole ridiculous story thus far." Trevor said.
The Tamers were all amazed by what these guys went through. They were even more amazed by the fact that two of them were from the past and another one of them came from the future.
"It seems like you guys are quite the warriors." Cyberdramon said.
"Isn't it stressing?" Lopmon asked.
"You have no idea." Takamon replied.
"Sure it's tiring but it's just something we were meant to do." Steve said.
"So these rings you're looking for here in Japan, have you managed to find any of them yet?" Ryo asked.
"Well there are currently four in Shinjuku and we managed to find one of them yesterday." TK said.
"And it's being kept down here in my chamber for safekeeping." Teletraan said from everywhere.
The tamers and their partners all looked around freaked out as to where that voice came from.
"Who the hell was that?!" Kazu asked.
The AutoKnight team chuckled.
"That's Teletraan 1. He's our Artificial Intelligence unit." Trevor said.
"And the best one there is at that." Teletraan said.
"He has a mind of his own?" Henry asked.
"Uh-huh. He can think just like we can and even feel emotions like we can." Violet said.
"Wow." Takato said.
"How advanced is he?" Ryo asked.
"More advanced than you can imagine, Ryo." Teletraan said.
"He knows my name?" Ryo said a little surprised.
"He knows all of your names. Right Teletraan?" Takamon said.
"Damn straight. I also happen to know that Guilmon is a Digimon that was created by his partner, Takato. He is one of a kind." Teletraan said.
The knight team looked at Guilmon in interest.
"Did he really create you from scratch?" Gatomon asked.
"Yep. He drew me on a piece of paper, then his digivices scanned it and BOOM! Here I am." Guilmon said.
"That is so cool." TK said.
"Hey! I'm right here you know!" Patamon shouted.
"Don't worry about that. I wouldn't have any other Digimon than you." TK said.
"Good to know." Patamon said.
There was silence for ten seconds before Jeri broke it with a question that was frequently asked to them.
"So how did you guys deal with leaving your families behind?" She asked.
Trevor went dead silent. Violet knew she had to answer for him, but she was getting tired of it.
"Leaving our families behind was a very hard thing we had to do. But they knew that we had to do this." Violet said.
"At first they opposed it because they were afraid for us, but eventually, they saw there was no other choice." Kari said.
"Hm." Was all Trevor muttered out.
Then Rika looked at Takamon.
"What about you, goldenrod? What did you leave behind in the digital world when you left it to go with them?" she asked.
Takamon sighed and reached into his chest armor. She pulled out the picture of Blaze.
"Well I left behind the newborn Digimon that just hatched like I told you." He said. "And I left behind a life that I'm trying to move on from."
Takamon tossed the picture to Rika and she caught it. She looked at it and Renamon did the same thing over her shoulder.
"Who is this?" Renamon asked.
"My wife." Takamon said.
The Tamers and Digimon looked at each other.
"Your wife?" Kazu asked.
"Yep. She died a long time ago and I still miss her so much." Takamon said.
"I'm so sorry." Jeri said.
"It's alright. You didn't kill her." Takamon asked.
Rika tossed the picture back to Takamon and he put it back in his armor.
"Okay well other than that depressing moment, this is turning out to be one of the greatest days of my life." Kazu said.
"Yeah. Just wait until the other kids at summer school hear that we got to meet the AutoKnights!" Kenta said.
"You can not and you WILL not tell ANYONE about us." Trevor said sternly.
"Aww. Why not?" Kazu complained.
"Because we're not common celebrities that give out autographs and stuff like that. We have a job to do." Violet said.
"She's right. And we wouldn't be able to do that job if everyone here knew who we were." Tai said.
"So we have to stay a secret for now." Trevor said.
"Uuuummm…I hate to break it to you Trevor but I think that ship has sailed." Teletraan said.
Trevor looked up to the ceiling.
"What do you mean, Teletraan?" He asked.
The TV automatically turned on and everyone their turned their heads to look at it. It was a news report of the Decepticon attack that just happened.
"Just a few minutes ago, the Shinjuku district was being terrorized by what appeared to be a giant rampaging robot. Some Sources say that the robot is the same thing that attacked the military base earlier today."
The screen then transitioned to another shot of Jetfire dropping Optimus over the city. They then saw him transform.
"As unbelievable as it sounds, the robot's rampaging was halted by a group of people that have been officially to be none other than the world famous AutoKnights. We don't know where they came from, but we are thankful to have them here watching over us again."
Teletraan turned off the TV.
"Well that's just great!" Fry shouted.
"Hold on now. It might not be as bad as it looks." Tai said.
"What do you mean?" Takamon asked.
"Well they didn't see our faces up close, so how can people even know who we are if we go outside?" Trevor said.
"That is very true." Takato said.
"Takato, I'm getting hungry." Guilmon said.
"It is almost lunch time." Henry said.
"We better get going." Ryo said.
"You guys need a ride?" Steve asked.
The Tamers looked at the knights.
"Well thank you, but we don't want to put you through the trouble." Jeri said.
"It's no trouble for us at all." Kari said.
"She's right. It's a long way from here to Shinjuku and if you walk there, it'll be dinner time by the time you get back." TK said.
The Tamers all looked at each other.
"He does have a point." Terriermon said.
"Come on! It's the freakin AutoKnights. And three of them are the guys we used to watch on TV I remind you!" Kazu said.
"Alright alright." Henry said as he looked at the knights. "We'll take the ride."
Trevor smirked.
"I thought you would." He said. "Tai, you and the Digimon stay here."
"Got it." Tai said.
"Follow us." Trevor said as he stood up and went down the hallway.
They all went back down into the Teletraan chamber again and Trevor, Violet, Steve, TK, Kari, and Fry all transformed into their AutoKnight forms for he second time that day. They opened up their door and the Tamers all loaded up into the same cars and trucks they were in before. Teletraan then opened up the tunnel for them and they all drove out and headed for Shinjuku. What none of them knew was that the story the AutoKnights just told would get even longer very soon.
Trevor: Not a bad way to introduce everyone into the thing.
Takato: I liked it.
Me: I know you did Takato. But I have to wrap this up right now. The AutoKnights now have a lot of new allies and what exactly is Megatron planning for Takamon? Find out in the next chapter. For now, I'm going to leave. And by the way, if you haven't ordered Transformers: War for Cybertron yet, do it ASAP. That game looks awesome! Until then, peace bitches.
