"Are we safe?" Nunnally asked looking out the back window
"I think so" Hot-rod said sensing her tense "Relax, the decepticons won't find us if I jam my frequency" Hot-rod said as she relaxed
"Great, we get into the play offs and I'm running around the colony from Evil Machines with a cadet Autobot" Nunnally said
"HEY!" Hot rod said upset
"No offence" she apologized.
"None taken; little one" Hot rod said
"So why are you here in Narita?" Nunnally asked
"Looking for something" Hot Rod stated
"What?" the princess asked
"any clues on the ancient guardian who came to earth to hide from the Fallen" Hot rod said
"The Fallen's destroyed, my brother defeated him four years ago" Nunnally said
"I know that is why I'm looking for this guardian to make sure he can be awakened due to the fact Megatron is still online and with that fact he will be hunting for a way to exterminate your race and bring The Autobots to their knees, and the only one to my knowledge the only one who can is the Ancient Guardian, but I don't know where to start" Hot rod said.
"How about Kamine Island" Nunnally asked,
"Kamine Island?" Hot rod asked
"The location of cybertronian ruins, where the Decepticons got the dark map who knows maybe it will lead to the location of the ancient guardian?" Nunnally asked.
"Alright lets go" Hot rod said speeding off.
Britannia: Pendragon City.
Lelouch was at his deck glaring at Mount Paperwork as he dubbed it
"Why don't you just get lost or do yourself?" he snarled "I'm supposed to be leading an empire yet here I am doing paperwork instead of treaties or negations" he complained
"Maybe I can ease that" his wife Kallen said walking in "And how can you do that my Lotus?" he asked
"Imagine" Kallen whispered
"Hate to bust up the party but Alpha base wants you, they also have called code red as well" Gino said bursting in
"Code Red, it must be serious" Kallen said looking nervous.
NEST Base Alpha
A holographic image of Lelouch stood around a table with Milly, Suzaku and Optimus joining them
"It must be serious if Optimus is using sub space comm." Lelouch said
"We have a situation here" Suzaku said
"What is it?" The emperor asked
"Megatron has attacked Narita" Milly said
"MEGATRON? I thought we saw the last of him years ago when he fled" Lelouch said
"He attacked Narita with a new force that no one knows, except Long Haul, Brawl and Starscream" Milly said
"There has also been minor activities throughout the outer rim where small bands of Decepticons are active" Optimus said
"Lelouch there is another reason why we called you here" Suzaku said
"What is it?" Lelouch asked
"Nunnally's missing" Milly said.
Flashback Narita
NEST forces were examining the area when Suzaku rolled up in his government car straightening his suit
"Sorry to bring you out here on your night off with Euphie, but I think you should see this" Milly said
"What?" Suzaku asked
"Fusion cannon debris" Milly said
"I'm guessing Megatron" Lennox said
"Good guess, KEEP THOSE PEOPLE BACK!" Milly shouted
"Nunnally!" a girl said running into a soldier "Excuse but my friend was in there, whenever she comes here she visits a memorial, only she didn't come back this time" the girl said
"Who are you?" Suzaku asked
"Lori Edmondson, Vice captain of the Ashford Academy Knights and Nunnally's best friend, please tell me she's okay" Lori cried as Milly comforted her.
"Find her!" Suzaku ordered.
"Nunnally's missing?" Lelouch asked
"I'm sorry but we've not picked up any trace of her in the area" Suzaku said.
"Also our newest autobot recruit Hot-rod is missing, he went exploring and hasn't checked in yet" Milly said
"You don't think?" Suzaku asked
"Don't even think of that, until we know Nunnally evaded Megatron" Lelouch said
"Okay so we need to expand the search grid" Milly said
"I'll send over a team of Autobots there to help with the search" Optimus said
"Thank you Optimus that is most appreciated" Milly said.
Narita
Nunnally fell asleep from the adrenaline rush that finished within her
"Poor girl; so was so scared that she burnt herself out" Hot-rod said using his rear view mirror. "So we're on our own with the cons chasing us and no way to get help, what am I to do?" Hot rod asked
"How about finding a motel or something?" Nunnally asked
"Do you have the credits for a room?" Hot-rod asked
"Yeah, I carry some money around with me just in case" Nunnally said
"I'm scanning for one with a cheap room fit for a senator" Hot-rod said
"You don't need to besides the Decepticons are thinking the same thing" Nunnally said
"very well, I have found one not far from here, shall I go there?" the autobot asked
"Yeah, I also need to change my appearance" Nunnally said
"Very well, I shall activate my avatar to get you what you need?" Hot Rod asked
"just get some hair dye, I'll do the rest" Nunnally said
"Yes ma'am" Hot rod said.
Some time later, Nunnally was loving the feeling of the warm water hitting her skin relaxing her, her once wavy coffee brown hair was straight and chocolate brown. In the parking lot of the motel Hot rod was looking over information about the ancient guardian in relation to earth
"Could he really be here?" he asked
"And what about Nunnally the poor girl she's scared even though she does not show it, I can't imagine what she might be going through I just hope one day we'll be rid of these slimy glitches that plague the universe called the Decepticons, but in the mean time do not worry or fret Nunnally for I will protect you like a friend" he said before entering recharge.
Cybertron Autobot High Command
Optimus looked at the team gathered in front of him consisting of Ironhide, Jetfire, Arcee and her sisters, Hound, Ratchet, Wheeljack, the twins, Bumblebee and Prowl.
"Go to Earth and locate Nunnally and Hot rod" Optimus ordered
"We will sir" Jetfire said
"I can't believe you sent him to earth" Ironhide said to Jetfire
"It was my decision" Optimus said
"I understand sir" Ironhide said as the rest of the group were leaving
"Did I make the right decision?" Optimus asked his old friend and comrade
"I'm not I'm the one to be asking, but if I were I must say that you did. He's a cadet and maybe his time on earth will give him experience that he couldn't get here on Cybertron" Ironhide said giving his council
"I thank you for your council, my old friend" Optimus said
"Remember; he was sparked of you and Elita, two of the toughest and strongest Autobots Cybertron has ever known" Ironhide said leaving for his mission.
The Next Morning
Nunnally paid for the room and got in Hot Rod
"Okay so we need to gain access to Kamine Island" Nunnally said pulling on a jacket over her white tank top.
"Any ideas?" Hot rod asked
"none so far" Nunnally said pushing her hair back out of her eyes.
"Don't worry, we'll get out of this" Hot Rod said.
"Will we?" Nunnally asked upset "What if this guardian of yours is just a fairy tale?"
"I've asked that myself thousands of time and each time I did something told me that he wasn't, that he was no fable" Hot rod said driving onto a highway
"So we head to this island seek out the clues and find the guardian" The Autobot said.
"Cool, sounds like a plan" Nunnally said kicking back and relaxing.
NEST Base Alpha
"Man it's good to be back" Skids said
"Why did we have to bring them along?" Hound asked
"I'm not sure" Ratchet said
"I'm sure they have skills, but what they are I'm not sure" Ironhide said
"Anyway we have a mission to complete, Autobots roll out" Jetfire said.
"Yes sir!" they cried.
"Do you think they're okay?" Milly asked
"I'm not sure Milly, but do not lose hope for I might know where Hot rod is" Jetfire said
"You do how?" Milly asked
"Simple, the reason he came here was to look for an ancient guardian of the Autobots and where is the only place in Japan with Cybertronian history?" Jetfire asked
"The ruins on Kamine Island!" Milly said
"exactly so after we check out Narita I'll head over there and check it out" Jetfire said.
Kamina Island Cyber Ruins
"So these are the ruins of Kamine Island are they?" Hot rod asked
"Yeah this is where my brother learnt about the fallen" Nunnally said looking at them for the first time "I've only heard about them before this though" she said
"So I have, only Jazz had scans of the place, it was here I discovered a small amount of text about the ancient guardian" Hot-rod said, spotting the area where he found out about the guardian in the first place "Here, we have to find the lake and mountain bunkers for the ancient's guardian twin alt form" Hot rod said
"But which lake?" Nunnally asked
"According to this the lake is called Lake" Hot Rod started
"Kawaguchi" Nunnally finished for him.
