The Autobots were researching the many mythology creatures of earth they looked at Pictures of Dragons,Griffins,Thunderbirds and many others.
"Man you guys sure have a lot of monsters to worry about."Smokescreen said in amazement Rafael looked at him "not all of them were evil monsters some were friendly."
"Yeah like Buckbeak."Miko chimed everyone looked at her in confusion "Big four legged bird thing..from the Harry Potter books."she explained. Optimus Prime looked at the pictures on the giant screen earth has always been a Mystery to him but after discovering that unicorn is it's core, the Predacon fossils various relics and energon located here earth and Cybertron are linked.
But as he was looking at the pictures he began thinking of the Predacons there's more of them and they're more vicious than Predaking himself optimus now begins to worry if these monsters he gazes at now would give Shockwave ideas for new Predacons. Then something caught the eye of him there was a small picture of a fiery bird "Rafael what is that?"
Rafael blew up the image and everyone saw it clearly "That's a Phoenix Optimus,It's a bird that can be reborn from it's own ashes it can never truly die."Rafael explained bumblebee made beeping sounds "indeed bumblebee, on our side a Phoenix would be beneficial...but on the side of the Decepticons it would be the end of us all."Optimus prime said with a hint of fear as he looked at the image again.
Meanwhile
Aboard the Nemesis Shockwave was walking among the halls with the new Addition to the Predacons: a Dragon who's as cold as the ice he breaths, his name is Coldsnap (His body is inspired by Skystalker's toy and his head is based on skystalker's construct bot toy head).
As Coldsnap walked ice slowly built up leaving a icy trail on the walk a little ice was starting to build up on Shockwave's arm but he didn't care. They arrived to the bridge where Megatron and the Predacons were waiting, Predaking was the first to lay eyes on the new Predacon.
Predaking walked up to Coldsnap "Welcome my Predacon brother,I am Predaking your leader." Then Megatron stepped forward "and i am Megatron your lord and master." Coldsnap looked between the two unimpressed although he wouldn't dare let it show into words so he decided to play along...for now.
Coldsnap kneeled down "how may i serve?" Coldsnap's voice was calm and whispery like a ghost it sent massive chills down everyone's spines including shockwave's knockout shivered in uncomfortable fear "Ugh did it just get cold in here?"
Starscream scoffed "you can serve by not Existing we have enough Predacons." He pointed to the rest of the Predacon team: Skylynx,Darksteel,Lazerback,Grimwing,Ripclaw and Cindersaur. Lazerback growled"Shut it Starmunch or I'll tear you to pieces!" Ripclaw walked over to Coldsnap and helped him up "yeah i say the more the scalier." Then she let out a wicked laugh Causing Darksteel to laugh too.
Megatron was about to say something when a vehicon spoke.
"my lord we found something."
Megatron along with Predacons and shockwave "what is it?"Megatron asked "We're detecting a very large energon reading in a volcano."He said and he pressed a few buttons and the screen showed the Ring of Fire a large collection of volcanoes but then focused on one particular one the Arenal volcano.
"Hmmm a Cybertronian relic?"Knockout asked in interest Megatron wondered that too but he knew there was one way to find out "Blow the volcano apart."Megatron ordered with a sadistic smile.
Meanwhile
The Autobots were continuing to study the mythology of earth when the proximity alarm sounded Agent Fowler appeared on the screen frantically "Prime we just got reports of a Decepticon sighting at the Arenal in Costa Rica it looks like they're gonna blow the volcano apart!"
Everyone looked at eachother confused "Why would they do that?!"Smokescreen asked even optimus prime was puzzled "I don't know but right know why doesn't now matter ratchet open the ground bridge."He ordered ratchet pulled a lever and a green swirling portal opened in a metal tube and the Autobots transformed and Drove through it.
Meanwhile
The Nemesis was about 100 feet away from the volcano "Volcano almost in range lord Megatron."Starscream said with a sadistic smile Megatron grinned also as the Nemesis creeped closer and closer. The Autobots arrived they were nearly close to the volcano and the saw the Nemesis getting ready to fire optimus looked on in terror.
"5 4 3 2.."Starscream counted down then suddenly the volcano erupted shocking everyone including Megatron. Smokescreen got on his knees in anguish "YOU MANIAC...YOU BLEW IT UP...DARN YOU...DARN YOU ALL TO THE PIT!."he roared in rage.
"Nice Firing Starscream."Megatron complimented Starscream looked at Megatron confused "Uhh..i didn't press anything." Megatron raised an eyebrow then there was another loud explosion from the volcano as a fireball shot straight out of it and into the air what came next stunned everyone.
The fireball spreaded what looks to be wings and the fire went away to reveal a large bird but it wasn't just a bird it was made of metal it's beak and talons were a gold color while the rest of its body was a Red and yellow color. It hovered in the air flapping its massive wings, optimus prime stared at the bird in awe then noticed it's tailfeathers were long "It's a Phoenix."
However shockwave noticed a different detail it had a Predacon symbol on its right wing. "Its a Predacon my leige."Shockwave said Predaking's eyes lit up "Another one of my brethren?!" Knockout noticed the Phoenix glaring angrily at the ship.
"Uhh lord Megatron...it's looking at us funny."
Megatron looked at the Phoenix just in time to see it breath fire at the Nemesis grazing the ship "Return fire!"Starscream exclaimed only to be choked at lifted high into the air by Lazerback "You will do no such thing."he growled "He's confused he needs to see we aren't his enemy but allies."Predaking said.
"Yeah but who's gonna go out there and cool down that flaming bird?"Darksteel asked there was silence around the ship then Coldsnap crossed his arms "I feel that was a dig at me..fine I'll do it." Then he walked away and to the launching bridge then transformed into his ice Dragon and flew off around the ship and towards the Phoenix.
The Phoenix was about to fire another shot until it saw Coldsnap flying towards it now this is where everything went down the toilet the Phoenix let out the loudest angriest screech every heard scaring the Autobots and the Decepticons. Then it rocket towards Coldsnap at an alarming speed leaving a brief flaming trail then it collided with Coldsnap Locking talons and claws with him.
Coldsnap was absolutely confused then he noticed the look on the Phoenix's face it was a look of Hatred like it had some personal vendetta against him. Coldsnap struggled against the Phoenix then his eyes widened in fear as the Phoenix's throat glowed bright orange then it breathed fire on him sending him plummeting to the ground.
Then it set its sights on the Nemesis and flew towards it only to be blasted out of the sky by a missile fired by Starscream. The Phoenix let out a squawk of pain as it hit the ground hard, the Autobots ran towards the crash sight of the Phoenix where they saw it.
The Phoenix was badly injured and energon was leaking fast "Ratchet open the ground bridge...we have an injured bot."Optimus said with concern.
