Note : this is happening at the same time as Flamewar's arrival
( autobots base)
For a time, nothing particular happened after Nemesis Prime has been recovered by the military and Silas died.
Until Ratchet's computer picked up something.
" Optimus, Durerus. You won't believe what I just picked up. " Ratchet called them
" What is it, old friend ? " Optimus asked
" An autobot ship just crashed on Earth. " Ratchet revealed
" Are you sure Ratchet ? " Jack asked
" Yes at 100%. " Ratchet answered
" Still, it wouldn't be too cautious of us to be on our guard : We've been duped in the past. " Jack said
" You are right, Jack. Ratchet, prepare your medikit, we may have injured autobots. " Optimus said
( crash site )
Optimus, Durerus, Arcee, Bulkhead and Ratchet arrived by the groundbridge, not far from the crashed ship. The ramp opened and five autobots got out of the ship.
The first was a grey and black bot with a visor covering his optics. He was a little taller than Bumblebee but seemed to have a serious attitude on him.
The second was a bulky red and white bot as tall as Optimus. If the wings on his back and jets on his feet were any indication, he was a flying autobot.
The third was a red and black fembot, as tall as Durerus. She had wings, a white face and what looked like a crown on her head.
The fourth was a blue-green and white fembot, as tall as Wheeljack and looking curiously around her.
And the last was a white and red autobot, as tall as Ratchet with a sort of cannon replacing his left arm.
" Prowl, Jetfire, Windblade, Moonracer, Red Alert. Welcome to Earth. " Optimus greeted them, while looking at each of them to show Jack who was who
" Optimus, seeing you here give us hope once again. " The grey autobot, Prowl, responded
The green fembot, Moonracer, went forward and hugged Arcee, picking her up from the ground.
" CeeCee ! I'm so glad to see you. " Moonracer excitedly said
" Yeah, I missed you too, little sis. " Arcee said, hugging back Moonracer
" Doctor Ratchet, I'm happy to see you again. " Red Alert said, shaking hands with Ratchet
" Likewise Red Alert. And please, call me just Ratchet, I'm not your teacher anymore. " Ratchet responded
Prowl then went towards Optimus, followed by Jetfire and Windblade.
" Optimus, our ship was attacked by Lockdown. We managed to distance him but he managed to shot us down while we were crossing a spacebridge, resulting in our crash here. " Prowl explained
" I understand. Are you sure Lockdown didn't follow you ? " Optimus asked
" Absolutely sure Optimus ! Our spacebridge closed way before he could enter it. " Jetfire intervened
Meanwhile Windblade was looking at Jack with curiosity.
" Not to change the subject, Optimus, but who is that ? " Windblade asked
" My name is Durerus Prime. " Jack answered, making every newcomer turn towards him
" Prime ? Is this your idea of a joke, newbie ? Because if it is, there is nothing hilarious about it. " Jetfire responded
Jack then opened his chestplate, revealing the Matrix and the Key to Vector Sigma, shocking the newcomers.
" Does this look like a joke to you ? " Jack asked
Jetfire sighed " Alright, I apologize Durerus. "
" Apology accepted. " Jack responded, closing his chestplate.
" Let us return to our base. " Optimus decided
( autobots base)
They arrived at the base and were greeted by Bumblebee and their human friends.
" Sweet ! New bots ! What's your story, guys? Where did you come from? How did you get here? How many blasters are you packing? " Miko excitedly asked
" That's the lifeforms we're supposed to protect? Are they all like this? " Jetfire asked
" Thankfully not. This is just specific to Miko. " Ratchet answered
" Optimus, I am curious : Where does Durerus come from ? There has never been any autobot wearing that name. Is he a neutral ? " Prowl asked
" That is a long story, old friend. " Optimus said
He and Team Prime began to tell the others how they met the humans, Unicron''s awakening, Optimus's amnesia, the journey to Vector Sigma and Jack's transformation.
" I must say, I have seen a lot in my life but I think this is the peak of all. " Jetfire said
Moonracer then hugged Jack.
" Thank you for making my big sister smile again, Jack. " She said
" You're welcome Moon. I can call you Moon or not ? " Jack responded
" You can call me whatever you want, you earned it. " Moonracer answered
" Can we go outside ? I would like to explore this corner of the planet. " Red Alert asked
" Not yet, Red Alert : You must first obtain vehicle modes to blend in. " Optimus answered
They all looked on the web and choose their vehicle modes.
Red Alert picked a Lamborghini Countach LP500S, Prowl choose a Nissan Fairlady Z 280ZX Turbo, Jetfire choose a f-22 Raptor, Windblade choose a VTOL jet and Moonracer choose a Honda S2000.
" Hey, I like this. Humans know how to make vehicles here. " Moonracer said
" You know what's better, Moon ? Testing it outside. " Miko said
" Sure, you wanna come, Miko ? " Moonracer asked
" You know it. " Miko answered
" Oh no. Now, we have not one but two Miko. " June said
Hearing this, Ratchet put his head in his hands and sighed.
" May the allspark help us all. " He muttered
" Oh no, Miko. You are not corrupting my sister. " Arcee said, frowning at her
" What corruption ? I'm simply showing her around. " Miko responded
Moonracer then rolled out of the base.
" I fear a lot of trouble coming soon. " Ratchet said
An : Just a little chapter to balance the forces.
Next time : Airachnid starts her attack against Megatron but Dreadwing starts his own as the autobots come to see what the frag is going on.
