The Next Battle Begins

"Alvin, calm down. You're alright. You're not alone. Okay? You're with me." said Brittany.

"Oh, right." said Alvin.

"It's okay. It's kinda good that we're in here, because now we have some time to look for the crate." said Brittany.

"Alright." said Alvin.

They both took out their phones and activated the flashlight on them and then began looking for the crate. They looked at one crate, then they pushed it aside and looked at the next. They kept doing that for a while until Alvin found one.

"Britt, come here!" said Alvin.

Brittany ran over to Alvin.

"What? What is it?" asked Brittany.

"Tell me you love me." Alvin said as he pointed to the crate they were looking for.

"I love you." said Brittany.

She kissed him and looked at the crate.

"Alvin, thank you. I honestly don't know what I would do without you." she said.

"I feel the same way." said Alvin.

Alvin and Brittany kissed a couple times then Brittany picked up the crate and moved it towards the door.

"So, Britt, now that we got what we need, how do we get out of here?" asked Alvin.

"This truck will eventually stop. Once it does, that's when we bust out of here." replied Brittany.

The truck drove on for awhile and soon Brittany and Alvin were getting a little impatient.

"Ugh, this truck has to stop sometime." Alvin groaned.

Ten minutes passed and Brittany had enough.

"That's it. The longer we wait, the farther away from home we are." said Brittany.

Brittany took out her Ion Blaster and shot the doors open.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Alvin.

The truck began to slow down.

"Quickly, Alvin! Grab that crate of energon and come with me!" said Brittany.

She then pressed the button on her jetpack and then the left wing of the jetpack turned into the left side of the motorcycle. The left thruster became the front wheel. While the right wing formed the right side of the motorcycle as the right thruster became the back wheel. And the center of the jetpack formed everything else including the seat, steering, and engine. Once Alvin grabbed the crate, and jumped onto the backseat of the motorcycle, Brittany quickly drove off the edge of the back of the truck just as it stopped on the side of the road. Brittany and Alvin were on their way home.

"Wow, Britt." said Alvin.

"What?" asked Brittany.

"I can't believe you just did that." said Alvin.

"Did what?" asked Brittany, even though she knew what Alvin was referring to.

"Blasted the doors open and drove off the truck." replied Alvin.

"I know it's pretty cool, right? I couldn't take being in the truck anymore, so I did what I could only do." said Brittany.

Brittany drove them both home and an hour later, they returned back home. Brittany's motorcycle reverted back to her jetpack mode and they both walked into the house.

"Oh, there you both are. I was worrying a little." said Dave.

"Don't worry, we're fine. And, we got the energon. Mission was a success." said Brittany.

"Well, I'm glad you got what you needed, Britt." said Dave.

"So am I." said Alvin.

"And I'm as relieved as you two are. Thank you. Both of you. I couldn't have done it without you." said Brittany.

Later that night, Brittany and Alvin were snuggled up in their bed.

"Britt, you were pretty awesome today." said Alvin.

"Really?" asked Brittany.

"Yeah. Not only are you beautiful, but you're cool as well. The coolest and most beautifulest girlfriend I ever had." said Alvin.

"The only coolest and most beautifulest girlfriend you've ever had, right?" asked Brittany.

"Right." replied Alvin.

They kissed and went to sleep. A few months passed and December came. Temperatures were dropping, snow's been falling, flights are being cancelled and the holidays are just around the corner.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe this! Christmas is almost here and I'm really excited for it this year!" said Brittany.

"Why?" asked Alvin.

"Why? Well because, this is going to be our first Christmas with the pups! This is going to be the pups' first Christmas. Alvin, it's going to be great!" replied Brittany.

"But, Britt, Christmas is still a little ways away." said Alvin.

"Alvin, it's less than four weeks, and those four weeks are going to go by real fast." said Brittany.

"Yeah, if you say so." said Alvin.

"I do. But come on, Alvin, aren't you excited?" asked Brittany.

"Yeah, I am." replied Alvin.

Later, the two were walking around a mall in the city.

"Oh, look at how they decorated the mall. It's so beautiful." said Brittany.

But little did they know, Gabi from JETT was spying on them. After a long while, JETT has returned. Using her cell phone's camera, Gabi live streamed Brittany and Alvin to JETT. James was watching the monitor.

"Gabi, follow them. See what they're up to. Because they're probably doing more than just holiday shopping." said James.

Gabi stopped the live streaming and put her phone away. She then continued to follow Brittany and Alvin. But she was also being very careful. Since Brittany and Alvin does not yet know of her existence, this was an excellent opportunity for the element of surprise. However, Brittany was having a strange feeling. Gabi hid behind a garbage can just as Brittany turned around and looked in Gabi's direction.

"What's wrong?" asked Alvin.

"I feel like we're being followed." replied Brittany.

"Are we?" asked Alvin.

"I'm not sure." replied Brittany.

With Brittany feeling a little uneasy, they both had no choice but to leave the mall. Jeanette groundbridged them both back home. And later the next day, the computer near the groundbridge beeped. Brittany, Simon, Jeanette, and Mira were in the same room.

"Exposed energon, and it's on the move." said Jeanette.

"And since we're not moving it, guess who must be." said Simon.

"JETT." said Brittany.

"Without their leader?" asked Jeanette.

"Unfortunately Ian's legacy will live on. As others rise to take his place. And since Alvin is not here at the moment, Jeanette, I may need aid." said Brittany.

"Well, Britt. I'd go, but I think I'm better off to remain behind with Simon. If that's okay." said Jeanette.

"It is, Jeanette." said Brittany.

Brittany then looked at Mira.

"Mira, let's go see about this energon in transit." said Brittany.

Mira nodded. Jeanette opened a groundbridge portal and Brittany and Mira walked through it. As they went through the other side of the groundbridge portal, they looked around and saw a road right in front of them surrounded by multiple evergreen trees. Mira squeaked worriedly.

"No, Mira, it does not. Hold back, and await my command." said Brittany.

Mira remained behind like she was told, but she hid behind a tree as she saw Brittany walk off. Meanwhile, not too far from them, was James, and some JETT agents. They found energon and were excavating it from the ground.

"Come on, move faster! It's going to be dark before we even finish!" shouted James.

"Well, it sure has been a while, James." said a female voice.

James, and the JETT agents turned around and saw Brittany walking up to them.

"Well, well, well, Brittany Miller. All alone I see." said James.

"For the moment." said Brittany.

"Attack her!" shouted James.

The JETT agents ran over to Brittany while James went off. Mira saw Brittany fighting the agents, however, Brittany was outnumbered by four. Brittany punched and kicked the agents, but then she herself was kicked. Brittany flew and hit a tree. Mira gasped and ran towards Brittany and the agents.

"Mira, no!" said Brittany.

But Mira didn't listen. She jumped up and kicked an agent in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. Mira jumped off the agent and jumped onto another one, she scratched his face and made him fall onto the ground, but then another agent grabbed her and threw her to the ground. While all of that was going on, James met up with Gabi at a different area. Gabi was watching the whole thing. Gabi also had a camera out recording the whole fight.

"Do not miss a single moment, Gabi! We shall need video documentation of Brittany Miller's defeat, for the historical record." said James.

Brittany punched an agent, but then the agent punched her back causing Brittany to take a few steps back to prevent herself from losing her balance. Mira walked up to her.

"These agents don't have a vehicle." Brittany whispered.

The agents that were down got up and ran towards Brittany and Mira.

"Fall back!" said Brittany.

Brittany and Mira got on their four paws and ran away. The JETT agents ran after them. James noticed that the agents or Brittany and Mira were nowhere to be found.

"We've lost sight of them. Gabi, why aren't you tracking them?" asked James.

Gabi's computer tablet beeped.

"What? What is it?" asked James.

Gabi showed James her tablet. On the screen showed a map of Monterey Bay in California. Then near it was a small icon.

"A single life signal? But there's only us two here and Brittany is definitely not alone." said James.

James looked closer to the screen.

"Wait a minute. The sight of our destroyed time bridge. Gabi. You're not telling me...that-that life signal at the power plant...belongs...to Ian?" asked James.

He was shocked to see that.

"But-but he was right next to the detonation point! Nothing could have survived that blast! Your sensors must be faulty. Ignore that! Delete the coordinates!" said James.

Gabi's tablet beep again. James turned around. But then he realized what he just said.

"Oh, what am I saying?" he asked while nervously laughing.

He looked back at Gabi.

"Of course this must be investigated. If Lord Ian is out there, I shall bring him home. Remain here and monitor the outcome. When the agents defeat Brittany and her little pup, I must bear witness." said James.

James ran over to his own personal jet and entered it. Gabi watched as James flew off.

"Must bear witness." Gabi whispered.

Gabi opened the backpack she was wearing and took out a small drone that had a camera mounted on it. She powered it on and programmed it to follow James' jet. A little later, James arrived in Monterey, California. He went to the power plant, which after all this time, was still mostly destroyed and it seemed no one had bother to repair it. James got out of his jet and looked around.

"No one could have survived this." said James.

He continued to walk around and sighed.

"As I suspected: faulty sensors. The last thing I need now are rumors that Ian is still-"

James was interrupted when a groan was heard. James gasped. He walked over to where he heard it and was surprised to see what he was seeing.

"Ian. You're still alive. But how?" James asked.

James looked down at Ian's right hand and saw something in it.

"Ah, dark energon." said James.

He went up to Ian's face.

"Everyone believes you are deceased. Who am I to disappoint them, master?" he asked.

James then grabbed the dark energon and pulled it right, out of Ian's hand. Apparently, holding it kept Ian alive, but after taking it out of his hand, almost killed him.

"And this time, stay dead!" said James.

James then heard a buzzing sound.

"Uh." he said nervously.

He looked around and saw Gabi's drone approaching him.

"Oh, uh, Gabi, if you are listening, I have found Lord Ian and he is...unwell. We must transport him back to the warship. Immediately." said James as he hid the shard of dark energon behind his back to prevent Gabi's drone from seeing it.

Meanwhile with Brittany, Mira and the JETT agents, they were still chasing the two, but Brittany diverted, leaving Mira being chased by the agents. Mira stopped running she she found herself in front of a large rock wall that the Earth had formed. Mira turned around and saw the agents blocking her only way out.

"It will be a shame to crush you, pup. But it is our duty." said an agent.

Then a horn blared. The agents turned around and saw an ATV drive right towards them. It was Brittany on one of JETT's ATVs. Brittany rammed all of the agents and soon she ran them all over, ultimately, killing them. Brittany stopped the ATV and got off. Once she did, she went over to Mira.

"If these humans had chosen to not side with JETT, we might not be burying them today." said Brittany.

Gabi was high up on a cliff over them. She looked down at Brittany and Mira, thinking that the next time she sees them, that will be her time to make herself known. Brittany and Mira gathered the energon, called for a groundbridge, and arrived safely home.

"Mira, putting you in harm's way was never my intention. But, you did performed well. I'm proud of you." said Brittany.

Mira squeaked happily and hugged Brittany. Brittany hugged her back and kissed Mira ontop of her head. Alvin then walked in.

"Hey, Britt." he said.

Brittany and Mira looked at him.

"Um, did I miss something?" asked Alvin.

"Well, nothing too important, except for the fact that we got ourselves more energon, and our littlest girl is turning out to be a pretty good fighter." said Brittany.

"Really?" asked Alvin.

"Yeah. You should've seen her. She was pretty good for a pup." replied Brittany.

Mira ran over to Alvin and hugged him. Alvin hugged her back and kissed her on the forehead. Jeanette looked at Brittany.

"You sure you both are alright?" she asked.

"Oh yeah. I took the most damage, but yeah, we're both okay." replied Brittany, smiling.
