Here is the next chapter of this story! So BEGIN!

After the battle with Grindor and Hailstorm, the group continued walking down the path again but once they took a right turn one thing they noticed that the sky was getting cloudy fast. Soon enough they came at a stop as there were two paths.

"Oh great so we have to go to one direction and go to another!" Crosshairs said complaining.

"There seems to be signs here. Maybe they can tell us what we are getting ourselves into." Drift said.

"Let me see" Ren said as he looked at the signs.

One sign was scratched off while the other had the actual name written over with "Bandits" but he can see some of the wording and it said, "Kuroy-"

Rens eyes widened and just stood still. That made Nora concerned

"Ren?"

Nora looked at Ren and then looked at the sign that Ren was looking at and realized.

"oh"

Drift also looked at the signs and saw the same thing with his eyes widening.

"I see" Drift said in understanding

Meanwhile Drift and Crosshairs looked at each other confused on what's going on.

"Drift you and the others take the right side while me and Nora left." Ren said.

"Very Well" Drift responded.

So with that Ren and Nora went to go to the right side and the three Autobots go to the left.

"I wonder what that was all about." Crosshairs said curious.

"Something was clearly bothering Ren. That's what I noticed." Dino said to Crosshairs

Drift meanwhile didn't say anything so he just kept walking. Soon enough the three Autobots soon enough arrived to destroyed village and considering what Drift saw at the sign this is Rens home that was destroyed by a Grimm.

"By the all spark." Drift said.

Seeing the destroyed village in person, Drift really felt sympathy for Ren.

"Another destroyed village? Seriously?" Crosshairs said curious and almost irritated.

"Why would Ren not want to go here if it's just another destroyed village?" Dino questioned, until his eyes widened a bit. "Unless...unless this is Rens home"

With that Drift finally spoke.

"This place here is Kuroyuri and it is indeed the home of Ren and Nora" Drift said while looking at Crosshairs and Dino

"Alright I understand now." Crosshairs said. "Let's just try and put the detectors here and get out before the mood gets more depressing."

So with that they began to put up the detectors, well Dino and Crosshairs since drift sat on the ground and began to meditate.

That made Crosshairs yell out.

"Really? Meditating now? *sigh*"

*With Ren and Nora*

Ren and Nora were walking on the path to find an area to put on the remaining energon detectors. The mood was tense due to the fact of what happened earlier with the signs. They kept walking until they stumbled upon an area and saw there was a path that lead up to a cave. They both agreed to check it out.

Nora not liking the quiet decided to start some conversation.

"I wonder if the Autobots will handle any Grimm on where they are."

"They most likely will." Ren responded. "They can handle Grimm easily for the most part"

"True" Nora said

Soon enough they both were now in front of the big entrance of a cave.

"Well this is definitely a huge entrance." Nora said.

"yes it is"

Soon enough something flew right onto Rens face which in turn made Nora laugh a bit. Ren removed the thing that got on his head.

"yes, yes laugh it off"

Then Ren looked at the flag and that flag he recognized .

"What is it?"

"This flag, is from shion village."

"Shion? Wait and Shion was just destroyed and didn't the dying gaurd sa-"

That was realization kicked in for the both of them and soon they ran inside the entrance and saw the cave was empty well in terms of inhabitants. There were objects a lot of different kinds of objects. The two looked around and Ren noticed something on the floor, so he kneeled down and picked it up and it was an Arrow but he recognized this kind of arrow.

It was his fathers

Nora noticed Rens behavior and she was hesitant to talk.

"Ren."

Ren then stood up and looked at Nora.

"We need to go to where the Autobots are." Ren said.

"Why?" Nora said confused.

"Because I have a bad feeling."

*With the Autobots*

"And theres the last of it." Crosshairs said as he put down the last Energon detector. "Welp lets get out of this village for good"

Drift opened his eyes.

"Something is coming" Drift said.

Dino and Crosshairs both looked at Drift.

"Is it Ren and Nora?" Dino spoke out.

"No. It isn't them its something else." Drift responded

"What can it be?" Crosshairs questioned.

"This has a Dark, Emotionless and menacing aura around it and its bad and its getting closer." Drift said

Soon enough all three Autobots heard footsteps and those footsteps were getting closer and closer. Soon enough Drift began to stand and get both of his swords out, which in turn made Crosshairs get his guns out and Dino bring out his arm blades.

"Its here" Drift said

Soon enough the three Autobots were confronted by a grimm. But this Grimm was different than the ones they are use too.

The grimm is a horse-like creature for te main body and a skinless humanoid creature on it. The humanoid body has long curved horns on its head, a mouth that looks almost sewn shut, and two long elastic arms each with two clawed fingers. On the back of the human torso are boney spikes along its spine and a variety of objects stuck on the back.

"My god." Drift said as he, Dino and Crosshairs were in position to fight the creature.

The neck on the humanoid portion of the Grimm snapped a but before coming straight and began to open its mouth an-

*ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAR*
