Back from where we left
Miko POV:
GRAWL~
GROWL~
Everyone heard the two dinosaurs roaring before as they ran against each other, hitting their heads and trying to bite each other and I couldn't be more excited, except for the fact that Arcee was dying and this time we weren't counting on Ratchet and thanks God no one can hear my thoughts, because I never thought I would want to say this but… 'I wished that it was Ratchet doing everything he could do to save Arcee; Cole is nice, he can make a weapon appear on his hand, he can modify machines with a weird silver liquid (which I think is more like a metallic color than any other), his friend can transform himself into a super dinosaur but… I can't help but feel worried about Arcee'
as I was losing myself in my thoughts I wasn't paying much attention to the battle and I didn't heard Jack calling me before I saw a huge shadow covering me
"Miko look out!" I snapped out of my thoughts just to see something spiky coming towards me
"MIKO!" I heard bulkhead yelling as he used his maul and hand to move the spiky thing away from me and hit something behind it "You stay away from Miko"
"Bulkhead…" I just said that and looked at what he hit; it was the Tyrannosaur girl and she was covered with a black goo and there were marks of bite all over her "…I… missed the battle?" ok now I'm getting a little more relaxed… 'Grr, I can't believe I missed the super dinosaur battle of my life'
"Grr… ok, if you finished with your little beauty sleep, shall we continue the fight?" Sasha? You said what? Wait again…
"You SPOKE?" I thought it was my imagination but he turned to me and…
"Yes I did" he really did SPOKE in that dino form "are you ok? Sorry that I almost felt at you and you green one, bulkhead isn't it? Thank you for saving her" with that he turned himself to the Tyrannosaur girl "you're finished, Caruoi" he roared again and ran toward her but suddenly he stopped and started going back to his human self
"why are you doing this? She can get up and kill you" I yelled to him 'how can you go back to normal if that's still alive and might kill you?' that was all I could think at the moment, then I saw something "hum?"
"What is it Miko?" Jack asked me as he went near me with Raf to see if I was fine
"When did she turned back human?"
"Hum?" was all they said to me before I pointed to Sasha, then they saw what I was talking about
"You right" Raf said while adjusting his glasses
Then we saw that double-bladed axe again he used before and now he was just there waiting for something, we were looking at that and not knowing what to do and we heard a voice
"Soul restoration in 89%"
"What?" I asked turning to Cole and he was still using that needle gun, shooting that black-red mist thing
"The machine is healing Arcee's soul while I eliminate the illness" 'wow that machine is healing Arcee's soul? I don't know what to say' "Great, now just two or three shots to go"
"What?" 'He said just two or three?' "But that is-"
"If it is just two or three shots why the machine said that her recover is at eighty percent?" Jack said what I was trying to say faster than I did… hum…? 'Jack are worried about Arcee because she your guardian or… is something else? *mentally giggling*'
"Well it's because I work faster than the machine does and healing a soul it's not like patching a hole in a garment, it takes time and need to be done slowly or the soul may never fully recovers" wow…
"That's… too much information" I said
"but- hold on you said it needed to be healed slowly but the machine said eighty percent so how you justify that" 'Jack? Really? *grinning mentally and giggling* she's really more than a guardian to you'
"Argh, that's because…" Cole started saying and shot another part of the mist and this time it was completely gone "her soul wasn't completely eaten AND before it really starts eating her soul we started curing her AND because we came fast AND COULD YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT UP!"
Jack was with his eyes wide open, Raf was with his eyes wide open, I was with my eyes wide open, after all Cole yelled after Jack kept asking that, 'well now I know I can't mess with Cole and I hope that Sasha is not like him'
"…*sigh*" Cole sighed and looked down for a moment and then back to us "Sorry, I just didn't want her to die and do this with people talking on your head don't help you dealing with the patient illness nor help you make any progress"
"No, I am the one who should be apologizing Cole, I panicked Arcee couldn't die this way, it's way too horrible" Jack apologized as well as Cole 'that's… quiet impressive'
"Soul illness eliminated" the machine annunciated
"Start protocol 0-5-4-5-3-8-5-6-1-0-0-1"
"Protocol what?" 'what's protocol 0545… erm what was the rest again?'
"It's a special protocol I created to help healing people who were suffering from a soul illness" Cole explained 'but I'm still lost here'
"What does that do?" Raf didn't understand either, 'now that's new'
"It will heal where her soul was eaten and will make a special protection to her, so she wouldn't be infected by other of these illnesses"
"So she will be ok?"
Before Cole could answer Bulkhead catch our attention "Hey, why didn't Sasha destroyed that thing already?"
Everyone turned to Sasha to see why he didn't just finished that slime girl already, I was about to ask when
"Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" that girl was crying of pain
"Oh great now that's ALL we need now" Sasha suddenly panicked with the girl's cry
"I'm not wanting to do this but rule Nº4: help everyone you can, even if you don't like the person" Cole said something about a rule, but what rule is this… 'AH'
"WAIT? YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HELP HER?" they nod "I DON'T GET IT, WHY?" 'Now that was weird, just a few minutes ago she was trying to kill everyone and now those two are going to help her, WHY?'
"Ever saw on the news about wars, where there's these suicide people that put a bomb on their bodies and… BLOW THEMSELVES WITH THEIR ENEMIES?" Cole yelled while running to Sasha and that girl
"… a-a-a-a-a" Jack was stammering trying to say something "ARE YOU TWO SAYING THAT SHE HAVE A BOMB WITH HER?!" Jack yelled the last part almost getting hoarse
"She don't have a bomb Jack, she IS a part of the bomb"
"WHAT?"
"ARE"
"YOU"
"SAYING?" me, Jack, Raf and Bulkhead we're all spoke the same thing that was passing through our heads
"Hello~, remember when I said that she was made in a laboratory, well she also was made with a bomb on her in case she try to betray, desert or in last case if she fails a mission she will detonate and blow everything in a radius of 12 km!"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"… that's quite a big explosion isn't it?"
"*sigh* yeah that's because their masters are always trying to kill us, after all…" Cole said and paused for a moment and started doing something to the girl, who was writhing in pain and… fear?
"Look I know what you're going to say and everything but this is a rule we follow, so knock it off ok? We're going to take the bomb out of you" Sasha said to the girl and she just nod… crying…? This is getting bizarre
"Why don't you guys just destroy her? Didn't you said that she's a-"
"We know, but that's our duty so shut up and let us do our work, ok?" they said in unison "and when the bomb is activated the only way to deactivate it is by removing it, if we kill her the bomb will blow the same way" that part Cole said as Sasha was trying to hold the girl
"Alright, listen to me we're going to get that thing out of you so stay still and don't move or else you will die" Sasha was sounding like he's a medic or something
"Well this gonna be like getting milk from stones but I'll make it possible" Cole said that weirdness and both his arms into some sorts of surgery instruments
"Of course you will, you even made a cybernetic girlf-" Sasha was saying something when Cole made a tail appear behind him and that tail had more cannons attached to it than anything I've seen
"Say. Another. Word. And. I'll. Kill ya. Right here. right now you fossilized bird BRAIN!" 'Alright never piss off Cole' I though as he threated his friend
"Hmm… are you paying attention on what you're doing?" the girl asked
"hum? Couse I am, now I just need to… ah…" why Cole stopped
"Cole? Why is your face all red?" Sasha asked, I thought for a moment then I saw why he was with his face all red: that girl was naked, literally naked
"… b-b-b-bo-bo-bo" Cole was trying to say something but Sasha slapped his face and he shake it violently "FOCUS! YOU'RE A KID REMEMBER LEAVE THIS KIND OF THING TO PERVES LIKE SASHA AND JACK" with those words Cole earned a punch from Sasha that sent him flying with something on his hands and Jack grabbed the handrail yelling
"WHY YOU CALLED ME A PERVERT? YOU LITTLE PERVERT"
"Why you threw him? What about the bomb?" Raf asked and I couldn't help but laugh of Jack's reaction and ask Sasha the same while covering Raf's eyes so he couldn't see the naked girl
"He managed to cut it off of her" then Sasha looked to the girl "alright can you please make some clothes, please? It's embarrassing"
"I can't…"
"WHY NOT?" Jack asked (still yelling)
"I can't… feel my body… I'm losing…" with those words she fainted
"Is she-" I started
"Dead? Have she turned into a sort of black goo? If not then she alive" Cole explained from the place he felt "and I think I know why Sasha spared her"
"hum?" everyone said that, well expect Optimus
"Grr… why can't things be simple like in that day?"
"What day Cole?"
"We're gonna wait Arcee recover then we'll tell you guys everything we can tell"
With those words we kept waiting for what looked like an eternity, I even asked if there was a way to accelerate the healing thing, but Cole said that we would have to wait and he took some sort of ring from Jack and explained what that thing was. When Arcee finally got up the machine shut down itself and re-transformed into the berth it was before, then we were all together in a circle waiting for them to start explaining everything
Third-person POV:
Cole, the caruoi and Sasha were in the middle of a circle everyone made to hear their story
"*deep breath*… well we should start explaining from what we are…" Cole started saying "we're not completely humans, we're of a different human race called scientifically as Homo Duae Animae Sapiens, or in another words humans with two soul instead of one, that's still a mystery even to us but we always have two souls, one is human and that's our birth soul, our body until our second soul starts awaking…"
"Awaking?" Ratchet asked raising an eye ridge
"It's like this: our second soul is birthed with us as well but it need our body to grow a little so it can start making part of us, until the six years for pure-bloods, sorry for saying this Cole, and eight for half-bloods we are exactly like the humans and for this thing of pure-blood and half-blood is that we're still humans, so for a Anima(some call as Duae) man and human woman or vice-versa is possible that their children are either Anima or normal humans"
"… So are you saying it is like there's a sort of division between those who have father and mother as like you two and-"
"Those like Sasha, I'm half human and I'm not like the others, but that's for later, the Anima are divided in three categories: Animalis or animal, fabulares or mythological and before a certain war there was a third which some considered and still consider one of the strongest of all: herba or plant and the Animalis and Herba were the two first divisions between Anima in the early days of our existence six hundred years before mankind was born, and for some reason we evolved faster than the humans, when they started making steel weapon like swords and shields ours was already using locomotives and was starting to create the first telephone of history"
Everyone in the command room was shocked from the information they just received and there were some that fainted/ glitch for the information until now
"That's" Jack started saying while relocating him jaw back "a lot of infor-"
"A lot? That was the basic of the basic" Sasha said holding his laugh
"WHAT?" everyone, except Optimus, where shocked again (some even instantly recovered from their previous faint/glitch and Optimus just wide his optics as much as he could)
"Well you heard the kid, now we're going to continue; the Animalis can transform themselves into their animal soul form just like me and there are those who are dinosaur, mammals, reptiles, birds, fishes, amphibians… you know all animals that exist today and that one day existed" Sasha explained making sure to see if there was at least one of them that haven't faint or glitch yet
"the Herba doesn't transform like Sasha and the other Animalis, but they can still make some sort of transformation that allow them to look more like they are part of the nature, they can also control the flora around them or make seeds grow in super faster way even in a soil infertile; just like they are connected to it they can also know where they are and can feel when one of them is wounded or is dying"
This time just Optimus was left with his optics wide open and processing all the information he just received from those two, while Ratchet was trying restabilize the rest of the team, while the girl (unbelievably) was trying to help the kids awake again, Optimus didn't let that pass unnoticed
"Sasha?" he called and Sasha looked to him waiting "before you battle the girl you called her a puppet, why?"
Sasha just smiled "because I saw something on her and I remembered something a friend of mine told me once"
"What did he told you that drastically changed you course of actions during the battle"
"Heh, he said 'the strongest and boldest of the warriors is not the one the carries a blade, but the one that carries it sheath and help his enemies getting back to their feet'" that made Optimus look a little puzzled "I didn't understand that before but he said that one day I would; and I think I understand that know, not because I spared her but because I spared her masters and I was wishing that I could kill them when I had that chance and he congratulated me since by sparing them I saved millions of people and learned why I shouldn't just kill my enemies when I get the chance"
Optimus didn't understand that fully but he knew he would understand it eventually, after a few moments everyone was feeling good again and was waiting to hear the rest of the story (and hoping that they wouldn't faint/glitch again)
"Well I would like to skip the Fabulares since they are going to do to you what they did to me" Cole said
"What their story did to you?" Arcee asked raising an eye ridge
"Normally almost nothing surprise me, but their story fried my brain and-"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~" everyone heard Sasha laughing and saw him crying from laughing too much "HAHAHAHAhahahaha…*breathing heavily* his brain literally was frying a-a-and you could SEE THE SMOKE COMING OUT OF HIS BRAIN AS HIS EYES WERE GLOWING AND HIS BODY WAS SAYING 'ERROR, ERROR, ERROR EXCESSIVE AND HEAVY INFORMATION BEING PROCESSED, BRAIN MELTDOWN CHANCE INCREASING'… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~" everyone was looking to Sasha like he had lost his mind but Cole punched him so hard that he when of his place spinning and hit his face in the rock wall
"Would you MIND if I finish explaining everything? Great, *clearing throat* the Fabulares were born in the human Greek era, when the Anima people first tried to make contact with mankind and revealed their powers to them." Cole said letting everyone slowly process that "the reaction of the people from that era was treating them as Gods and they even started creating their religion based on the magical powers the patriarchs and matriarchs tried to teach them-"
"Wait, Wait! You said magical powers?" Jack asked what he noticed from Cole speech
"puh~lease, there no such a thing as magic, probably they were trying to teach them how to make some advanced machine and-" Ratchet was saying then a fireball passed near his head and he looked to where it came from
"Magic IS REAL doc, you just need to believe in it with your heart, or whatever you call it, or else it will never work" Sasha said as he was playing with a fireball in his hand "the Animalis and Herba can't use magic but some can those who can't and want to use need to have training, perseverance, hope and belief, that way even you can use it, delete ignis" with those Latim words the fireball disappeared and Ratchet fell, sparks coming from his head
"wow" Miko and Raf said while Jack, Bulkhead and Arcee were with their jaws hitting the ground and Bumblebee was with his optics wide open looking at that Optimus was just looking to that and since they were surprising everyone with the story of their kind, be surprised was already normal to him
"Well, they tried to be part of the people, but the humans kept treating them like gods so the made a plan to make the humans believe they were people and not gods; they hid their powers and with that the people treated them in many different ways, good ways and bad ways" Cole said
"When the first human-Anima couple was made every Anima was expecting that their children was either human or one of the two existent divisions… how wrong they were, the first human-Anima child was born controlling the magic and instead of being either Animalis or Herba, the kid was a… how am I going to say this without you either laughing of my face or fainting?" Sasha spoke "the child was metamorphic, it could change it's appearance between any mythological creature that existed in the era"
Everyone was trying their best to imaging the child, but the image was only making them scared and Jack remembered something they said
"You said something about a patriarch and matriarch, are they like the actual leaders of your people?"
"No, they are the first Animalis and Herba of our story" Sasha said
"Hum?" Jack didn't understand
"They are the first man and woman of both types that appeared when our kind started existing, like they are pretty old, about the beginning of Animakind existence" Cole said, then he regretted saying those words

Everyone (this time no exception, only for the two boys and the caruoi) fainted/glitch after saying
"WHAT? THEY ARE THAT OLD AND THEY STILL ALIVE?" *sound of people falling and sparks flying*
"Oh boy" Cole complained face palming himself
"Well at least their brains didn't meltdown, I hope, I gonna check just in case" Sasha said hopefully
"What are you going to do?" the caruoi asked
"… I still gonna tell them and- AH, put some clothes would ya?" Cole said after noticing that the caruoi was naked again, so he took out his jacket and gave it to her "put it on" he said without looking to her
"… I don't need your pity" she said after looking to the jacket
"I'm not pitying ya, put it on" he said still not looking to her but noticed that she was looking younger about his age and there was something dropping from her body, something liquid
"… Why are you staring at me and why are you doing this?"
"I'M NOT STARING AT YA, SO CUT THAT OFF AND PUT THIS DAMN JACKET ON!" Cole panicked when the caruoi noticed that he was looking to her
"… I was talking about you treating me like a friend; I'm a caruoi and a loyal servant of The Master, you should hate me, but instead you treat me like I am one of-"
"Cut that off, I hate you alright but you were to be killed be your master and you heard us before, rule Nº4: help everyone you can, even if you don't like the person, so knock it off already and put the jacket on" this time Cole looked to her in the eyes as he placed the jacket on her
"… y-y-y-y…" the caruoi was trying to say something with her face becoming red "Y-y-you… PERVERT!" she slapped Cole's face and hugged her chest while sitting down
"Ouch… hum?" Cole said after recovering from the slap and noticed that she was hugging herself "why you called me a pervert? I didn't touched you in there" Cole said placing his hand on his cheek
"YOU DID WHEN PUT THIS JACKET ON ME" the caruoi yelled
"I DIDN'T… I put my hand on your sweat to see if it's really sweat" and Cole raised a small glass cylinder with a transparent liquid "why are you sweating on the first place?" Cole asked with a more serious tone
"… I'm not"
"What?"
"I said I'm not sweating…" she looked down "… I'm melting"
"What? You mean like if you were made of ice?" Cole asked a bit confused, then something hit his brain and he understood why "… oh~, I get it now, the bomb, since it was a part of your body you can't stay intact without it… hmm~" Cole said and went into a thoughtful pose and stayed like that for a few moments
"Well, we should probably thank you caruoi" Sasha said as he came back from checking the others "erm… do you have a name" he asked earning a confused look from the caruoi "a REAL name, Rapirier is a codename"
"… I don't have a name like you do" she said with sadness in her voice "… I received that name from my master when I destroyed all of the imperfect soldiers with that rapier my creator, Master Alex, gave me"
"That's horrible, well you're staying with us for some time so it's better we give you a real name, now what would be a good name for you? Hum…" Sasha said and went in a thoughtful mode, then he hit his hand together "I know, how about Tyra?"
"hum? Tyra?" the caruoi asked confused
"Yeah, since you can transform yourself in a Tyrannosaur and you fight with a rapier, well…" Sasha said happy and at the last part he placed his hand on the back of his head "names aren't my specialty, so I thought of the first thing that came in my head, what do you say? Like it?"
The caruoi went in a thoughtful mode and raised her head smiling as if she was just a happy normal teenager "Tyra, hum? I like it" she saw the happiness in Sasha eyes and felt something on her chest "hum?... erm… why did you said that you should thank me, I done nothing to receive that"
"Actually you did" and Sasha went closer to her ear "when you yelled that hour, you awake everyone in the room and by the looks they just needed something to help them forget what they heard a few moments ago, oh and by the way Cole don't grab a girl's… you know, he stare at her and later he give her something that she'll never forget and probably will fall in love with him" with those words Tyra's face went from a simple red blush to a tomato-red blush and she turned around quickly so Sasha wouldn't see it
"Alright now that everyone is back from the sleep world, I'll explain everything and make sure that you all don't just fall unconscious again" Cole said while holding something in his hand "here, you need to gulp it, and so it will make effect" without waiting to see if Tyra was going to do as she was told Cole looked back to everyone and was waiting to make sure that they were ready "alright, *clearing throat* the patriarch and the matriarch are the first of their Anima type and that for some reason is impossible to describe but I'll try my best, they are capable of: for the Animalis, they can transform into any animal they want and even control normal animals; as for the Herba, they can control every single plant of the whole world and make plants grow from their body, something that in normal cases it would kill the Herba that use it but not in their case also all the patriarchs and matriarchs are immortals but can stop being immortal whenever they want, when the first Fabulares was born they kept an eye on the kid to see how powerful it was and be sure to teach him how to use his powers for his sake and everyone else sake…"
"When he grew and was more less my age, they knew is second soul was to fully awake… oh sorry I forgot to tell that when our second soul starts awaking at our childhood, it normally allow us to use a few features that we will use when our soul fully awake, and when he started awaking he felt in love for a girl and when they married, everyone was expecting that they children were-"
"Let me guess, either human or like the father, is that right?" Ratchet interrupted Sasha, thinking he already knew what he was going to say
"Yeah, but then they discovered that the girl was a Fabulares too and that was a weird thing since they kept an eye on all the couple that came after the first and none of them had a Fabulares girl, but either way, the couple had their children and patriarchs and matriarchs were hoping that either they were going to lose their powers with the time or that they were to become another type that was peaceful and could create a bridge between mankind and Animakind, that didn't happened, they became more a part of the Animakind and with that they didn't made both coexist together, but made human society believe in our existence"
"Mankind believed our kind was the gods and monsters they believed and the Fabulares second soul form is actually a mythological creature such as giants, golems, fairies, half-human half-animal and so on" Cole added "with mankind insisting to treat them like gods and monsters, the Anima disappeared without any trace to mankind. When the human medieval era started there were a Fabulares with dragon power that believed they were a new type of Anima and to prove that…" Cole paused lowering his head "… they tried to exterminate mankind" everyone in the room was shocked "…but the Herba stood in their way, that made them change their target and they almost extinct the Herba and all their lifestyle, making it looks like there was never a Herba type and thanks to the war their patriarch and matriarch grew weaker to the point they could be killed. It happened, but some survived and the patriarch and matriarch had two last children that are hidden now and will be their successors as patriarch and matriarch" Cole said expecting everyone to be confused, yet they were just waiting "… the patriarch and matriarch are connected to their kind, so if their kind is dying they'll grow weaker and be capable of dying either by complete extinction of their type or by murdering, the Herba knew their people was dying so they passed their powers to their last children and hide them, letting the dragon type kill them so they would stop the war." the Autobots were feeling like they knew that war and they knew why, it was like their own war against the decepticons
"After that war the Fabulares dragon type self-declared themselves as an independent Anima type and ruthless one by the way, always treating the others like inferiors or like they weren't supposed to exist but not all of them are like that, just a few but that's a good number, they treat everyone as their equal, so that's good thing. When the human started the World War I, the patriarch and matriarch of the Fabulares and Animalis thought that mankind have become far too dangerous to continue existing in the planet-"
"WOW, WOW, are you saying that they thought it was better to exterminate mankind?" Jack asked already in panic
"No Jack, after what the dragon type did, they would never go that extreme, but they went into an extreme" Cole said "they casted a spell to send mankind into a pocket dimension that looks exactly like the real one, how do I know? I was born in there" That leaved everyone even more confused
"Look, I'll explain that detail, which it was what we were getting near anyway" Sasha catch everyone's attention "We are from another dimension, that's why our story is so confusing. Also even after mankind being isolated from ours and their real home planet, the Anima still try to make mankind see us as their related parents, so that way the patriarchs and matriarchs, will undo their spell and both will start coexisting again, but for that they first need to see if mankind can be trusted" Sasha explained and looked to everyone, they were all processing what they just learned, when they were ready the nod allowing them to continue
"As for why we are here…" Cole said glaring to Sasha, who tried to hid himself behind Tyra "… that happened because a friend of ours is trying to return to his own dimension"
"And this friend of your is not human nor of your kind?" Ratchet asked a little suspicious about Cole
"No he is neither human nor Anima, but he changed his appearance to looks more like a human, the only thing he didn't changed were his eyes, they are of a glowing, literally glowing green; he appeared in the Anima's Earth, which they now call Anima Terra, four years ago and ever since he's appearance in our world he's always fighting criminals and someone know what he is and wants to invade his dimension to conquer it he even build an army with mercenaries, the warriors like the caruoi-"
"Tyra" Sasha said interrupting Cole "her name is Tyra"
"Sorry, the warriors like Tyra and the most advanced military weaponry available in our dimension… he calls his army as 'Sol Paladins' and the only thing he wants is to see that world destroyed and he ruling it no matter what he will do to that world and he pretends to do the same with ours and it is his home as well but he doesn't care, he just want to do it"
That was enough to make the Autobots angry; this man was just like Megatron if he ever met him the consequences could be disastrous if they join their forces
"But" Sasha said taking everyone out of their thoughts "there's one or better seven between him and the complete annihilation of that dimension and of any other" he took a pendent out of he's pocket and Cole showed one he had around his neck, the pendants looked like they were black dragons (of an extremely black tone) with coiled tail and wings and in their chest there was a white gem "us, for we are Shadow Hunters, the lords of darkness and night" The Autobots looked to them with a bit of concern that they were fighting an army while being just seven "don't worry"
"We can take care of ourselves and in the back of our pendants there's a number; I'm the number 2: The Machine Master" Cole introduced his number
"I'm the number 4: The Wild Lord" Sasha did the same
Everyone was seeing why they carry weapons with them and why they were so ready for a fight, they somewhat reminded themselves since the Autobots are in a small number against the decepticons but they still can defeat the cons and protect Earth
"So you guys are like a super hero squad of the shadow? Like ninjas?" Miko asked already liking their true identity "awesome!"
"More like dark guardians and our number also resembles how powerful we are between us" Cole explained
"Like the higher the number the stronger you are?" Jack asked trying to get the point of the number idea
"No, the lower the number the stronger we are so I'm second strongest of the team" Cole answered happily about being the second strongest of his team and Jack was looking a bit more scared about Cole
"Wow, I remembered something, how did you knew that Sasha was in danger?" Jack asked something he remembered
"well, that wasn't anything related to our Anima abilities, it was a spell my master taught me called Animas Vinculum it means bond of souls. It's like a SOS signal the caster bond to someone that is with it; it warn both the caster and the one with the spell so they can locate each other when they are in danger" Cole explained
"Cole cast this spell in every one of our team so whenever we get separate we can locate each other when in danger, my danger was of losing my human consciousness, but that's for later" Sasha explained "Cole is the only with machine powers, before anyone ask and that is leaving us with a doubt: is he a new Anima type or is that a man made modification, since his father is a scientist and is one…" Sasha lowered his head "his one of our enemies"
"You're talking about Master Alex Walker, scientist headman and right arm aka second in command of The Master, is that right?" Tyra asked making everyone in the room, that wasn't Cole or Sasha, be shocked
"Yes, we're talking about him" Cole said angry with his head lowered and clenching his fists
The bots were shocked; how can a family be divide like that? And why does Cole lowered his head with so much rage in his voice? But those were questions for later
"It is better we stop this conversation now, it is already late and I believe everyone, human, Anima, Caruoi and Autobot should rest to regain their strength for tomorrow" Optimus spoke as he was getting up
"I'm a renverian" Tyra said "that's how The Master called those like me, Caruoi is how my master and creator, master Alex, call all the feminine warriors he create"
"Well, I'd say we should call the day and get some recharge" Bulkhead said a bit sleepy
"well you guys can go sleep, me and the have a sleepover to get with" Miko said grabbing Jack and Raf by their arms and pointing with her head to their guardians
"Wait" Arcee said suddenly "you told us everything about you but we haven't told you about us, that's unfair with-"
"Don't worry, we don't need actually we were kinda forced to tell you all" Sasha said with his hand on the back of his head "but that not important right now, you go sleep and we'll do the same, how about you Tyra?"
"… I~… I think I gonna stay awaken too" Tyra said and glared to Cole while getting near the others "specially away from you" she pointed to Cole "pervert kid"
"Wah? Ya still mad about that? Sorry I haven't done that on purpose and I just wanted to help ya… how ingrate she is" Cole whispered the last part
"And I am the pervert right? Pervert kid" Jack and Sasha mocked Cole
"I said I haven't done it on purpose" Cole protested, but they just kept mocking him "Grrrrrrrrrrr~" Cole went after them as fast as he could yelling "COME BACK HERE! YOU TWO ARE THE PERVERTS HERE! SASHA WHO HERE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS TO A GIRL BUTT WHISTLING? AND YOU JACK DON'T YOU THINK I HAVEN'T SAW THE WAY-" before Cole could say another word Sasha's axe went flying in his direction, making him change his way
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAID YOU SCRAP PILE BOY? NOW YOU ASK FOR IT" Sasha yelled while running after Cole
Cole kept running between the Autobots legs and went back to the other, always looking back to Sasha to see if he was any near him, until he stumbled and fell in something...
"Hum? What?" Cole felt something in his hands and just by the touch he knew want it was, that made his face go beyond any know tone of red "AH~, sorry I haven't done it on purpose I swear" Cole say in panic while getting up and protecting his face from any slap
Cole looked between his fingers to see why no one was trying to slap his face and he saw why: he hit Miko AND Tyra at the same time and they were still on the ground, Cole immediately freaked out
"I'M SORRY!" he said as he knelt near their feet and kept repeating his words
Miko and Tyra looked to each other and nodded, Tyra was looking like she was regretting "We accept you apologies" Tyra said still hugging herself
"You can stop this now" Miko said "and look if you really like a girl, don't do this, just ask her to go on a date-"
"I HAVEN'T DONE THIS ON PURPOSE I SWEAR!" Cole Yelled with his head lowered
"… ok, ok, you can get up now" Miko said helping Cole get up and she saw he crying but why? "Are you ok?"
"Miko right?" Sasha asked while getting near "how old you think Cole is?" he asked
"Erm…" Miko get a bit uncomforted, looking to Sasha at distance he seems to be big but near her (if weren't for the Autobots) he was huge "erm… twelve?" she said with a shy smile
"Exactly, so he's not that interested in a girl but… come here" Sasha gestured to she get near him and he whispered on her ear "his have made a cybernetic girlf-" Before Sasha could finish his sentence, something threw him against the wall behind him
"CAN. YOU. PLEASE. SHUT UP!" It was Cole, yelling and stomping with his hands raised
"… well… someone want to see a movie?" Jack asked trying to replace his jaw for the fifth or sixth time today
"I'm in" Raf said
"Same here" Miko joined them
"Count me in" Cole said getting near
"I'm with you" Sasha said with the whole body aching which made everyone look to him with a 'are you ok?' face
"… well I don't have anything better to do, so what's the movie?" Tyra asked joining the group and the guardians with her
Meanwhile at the MECH base
"Is everything ready?" Silas asked to one of his men
"Yes, we done what you ordered sir" the soldier said "but-"
"But what?" Silas asked in a very angry tone "say it soldier"
"Why you ordered that all the MECH stop their operations and return to base sir?" the soldier asked, Silas only looked to him before answering
"Because we will receive guests and it is better we prepare a welcome committee for them, a real welcome committee" Silas said wanting to be sure that his men heard him clearly "get back to work"
"Yes sir"
Silas kept looking to a strange hole that was on the wall, a silvered and yellowed vortex and in the other side of the vortex
"Well, looks like we found some allies and organized ones by the way" a Chinese man said
"It doesn't matter if they are organized or not, just that they don't stand in my way nor delay our progress" Said Alex
"Well, you can say that you help us IN a Way" Alexander said earning a glare from Alex
"What did you mean?"
"Sir!" someone yelled and Alex turned to see a soldier coming his way "It is Master Victor, he wishes to talk to you" the soldier said giving a cellphone to Alex
"What do you want this time?" Alex asked already annoyed
"I need a false identity, one with your son surname" Victor said
"What for?"
"I found the robots base as Python ordered, but approach them I will need to be inside the city-"
"Town, your in a town not a city, cities are large and towns are small, did you understand that?" Alex said completely mad with the length of the call and was already getting impatient with the teenager
"Yes I did and the false ID is to make get inside a high school of this ci-er town from what I could get from a spy that managed to enter their base there are three Children that are with them and they are from this school" Victor said all he knew to made the scientist do his part
"Grrr… fine it will be done by the morning" Alex said and ended the call
"well he's on his way to get those robots and the two Hunters that have showed up, when they are out of the way. This dimension is ours-" another man, with a voice that was a strange mixture of human and ape, spoke
"Ours?" The gelid voice of The Master came from behind him
"Sorry I meant yours" the man corrected himself
"Good, now come we have a business meeting and we don't want to be late, right?" The Master asked grinning evilly
"no sir, we don't want" they answered in an evil tone and they all passed through the portal
