Izuku sees a shooting star, Wait why is it getting.. OH NO!
EVERYONE HIT THE DECK!
Well isn't this just prime?
Chapter one
The beginning of the Beast wars
The sun was setting on the lonely town known as Kurasshurando resting in the countryside of Japan, with a cool summer breeze kicking in. The house had all kinds of gray walls with blue tiled roofs covering most of the homes. The Town was surrounded by heavy forest, tall mountains with rough trails topped off with giant rocky boulders that could hide houses and secret tunnels. The town of Kurasshurando had a low population of 1,600. Nothing ever happens in this town, with a crime rate of zero there are no heroes. It's where dreams go to die, but before you enter Kurasshurando, there's a big welcoming sign that says a weird quote, "There's more than meets the eye."
It was just a normal sunset day for residents, except for one young man looking out his window, in his room full of unopened packing boxes and a small bed. He has green messy hair, green eyes, and freckles across his cheeks. He was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts. He had a sad look on his face as he watched the sun go down.
This boy's name was Izuku Midoryia. He walked away from the window and started to unpack his things. His door opened to reveal a squat woman with green hair tied in a ponytail, she was wearing Brown cargo pants with a white sweater. This woman was Inko Midoryia, the mother of Izuku.
"Izuku are doing okay?" She asked in a concerned tone. He turned to her, putting on a smile for her.
"Yay Mom, I'm doing okay it's just a lot to take in, moving and stuff." He answered.
"I know it's hard, I mean you had to move away from your friends, but your father said we had to move to this place, it's cheaper rent and he said the schools are pretty good here, so you can start this year." She said to her son trying to cheer him up. Izuku understood where she was coming from, too bad for friends if she only knew never had any. Izuku also thought for a small moment of his father working overseas, he thought it was nice even from a far distance, his father was looking out for them, even though he never really met him or was here for him.
"It's alright mom, you don't have to worry about anything, I'm sure this is going to be fun." He assured her with a hug. Izuku noticed that night was here and wanted to rest.
"Well, it's dark. I'm going to go to bed."
"Right now? aren't you going to unbox your things, what about all your All Might Stuff?" Inko asked in wonder. Izuku froze when he heard the question, almost frowning, but still kept his smile.
"I'll just do it tomorrow, don't worry, I got all summer so I think it's alright." He then started to make his bed. Inko left the room and closed the door behind her. He lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling slowly closing his eyes as he fell to sleep. Izuku was left to dream of painful memories as he tossed and turned in anguish, but as he tried to sleep the more disconcerting thoughts came. Like being tortured by an eagle eating your liver every day.
'Forget the crappy quirks you're totally quirkless and you think you can rub shoulders with me'
'What can you even do?'
'I'm afraid there's no hope for him'
'I'm sorry Izuku I'm sorry"
'Without Power can one become a hero? No, I should think not
'Worthless Deku.'
'It's not wrong to dream, however you need to be a realistic kid.'
'He still can't face reality.'
'You wanna be a hero so bad? I've got a time-saving idea for you. If you think you'll have a quirk in your next life, go take a swan dive off the roof.'
Izuku's whole night was filled with mental dread with nothing but embers of his past broken dreams burning him up inside. A painful way to go, such as life for the quirkless, but extinguished fires can still carry embers and those embers carry a smoldering flame, dregs strong enough to keep you warm forever, potent enough to ignite into a blazing inferno.
Meanwhile in space
In the massive black empty vacuum of space two giant spaceships were locked in combat
The first silver ship with mighty thrusters on each side was an exploration vessel whose mission was to explore and survey uninhabited worlds. This vessel was called the Axalon.
While the other ship had a more nefarious look, with a dark silver color, It almost looked like some otherworldly metal insect. This ship was called the Darkside.
The two ships were firing at each other with lasers and bombs, as explosions echoed through the void. The ships went through a wormhole and were moving towards a big blue planet.
Currently on the Axalon.
The inside of the whole ship was covered in darkness, and while many figures of different shapes and sizes were present, the naked eye could not see them. A big thundering bang was heard throughout the ship.
"Hull breach in sector seven! and the Guidance system is failing!" Yelled a young hyper Robot. The whole ship started to shake.
"OH Man, This is ridiculous, we're an exploration ship, not a battlecruiser!" A squeaking robot yelled. Then one of the big figures on the ship responded to the questions, in a commanding voice.
"No choice. Our ship was the only one that could lock onto Megatron's Warp signature." Said a very big robot sitting in his commander chair, His robotic red eyes looked grimly determined.
"SHIELDS ARE DOING A MAJOR FADE." Yelled the hyper robot voice.
Meanwhile on the Darkside
The ship was covered by shadow obscuring everyone. You could still make out a pair of red malevolent eyes glowing in the dark. Two figures were outlined against their surroundings.
"Their shields are down! Destroy them." Dinobot said in a voice snarled from the darkness but was stopped by a smooth sinter voice.
"Oh now, where's the fun in that? A little torment I think first, Yesss?" Megatron's asked in joy.
"Now Activate the side guns!" He yelled. The laser on the ship made a direct hit. Making the Axalon shake.
Back on the Axalon
"RUPTURE! The stasis hold is failing." Yelled the Hyper voice. "We're going down!' Yelled one of the crewmates. The Figure of the commanding voice had a grim look in his eyes that softened as he thought about the tough decision he had to make.
"Launch all pods, Get them into a safe orbit." He yelled, Outside the ship shot glittering cylinders into space and began to sail away from the damaged Axalon.
"Now all plasma cannons open fire on the Predacon ship!" He commanded the Axlon to fire at the Darksyde in turn doing serious damage and making the other ship crash away towards the planet.
"Brace yourself for a crash landing!" He yelled to the crew. The crew of Axalon had one thing to say.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" As the steamed in terror.
Back in Izuku's room
Izuku woke up in a cold sweat from the dreams he was having, all of them reminded him he wasn't special. He knew the truth, but with all his stress and anxiety, how could he go back to sleep? He looked at his alarm and saw that it was 5:00 pm and Izuku was wide awake. He got up and put on a blue tracksuit before he left the room noticing one of the boxes was open. He went over to look into it. What he found only made him more stressed. It was all his All Might merchandise from clothes, toothbrushes, posters, and so many others.
With more pain stabbing in his heart he felt he needed to be far away from this room, and soon. He walked out of the room, grabbed a pen and paper and wrote a note that said he was going for a walk so that his mother didn't have to worry about him. Izuku left it on the kitchen counter, put on his red shoes and headed towards the door.
"It's alright today is a new day, no more hero rants or stuff like that, when I walk out this door It's a new life." He grabbed the handle and opened it. When Izuku said that it meant that his life would start anew, oh how true that would be, for his life would be far greater than any hero ever.
He strolled under a beautiful night sky, heading down the sidewalk that was lit by dim street lights. The Sidewalks were empty so he paid no attention to his surroundings. Izuku knew the paths in this town. Before they moved, he memorized all the maps online before arriving. Some nice paths lead to the forest and that's where he wanted to go hoping it would help clear his mind. Passing a few blocks looking at the house, while thinking of his future neighbors he would meet. His train of thought was interrupted when he passed by a mailbox that was shaking like it had someone in it.
He looked at a giant red cylinder mailbox. It was rusted and antique looking. The mailbox was shaking vigorously when the front panel opened up to reveal a young man sitting bunched up in the big mailbox. He looked the same age as Izuku but was wearing silver sunglasses, and short blue hair, with an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth and looking to be foreign. Izuku was dumbfounded as he looked at the strange teen, But the foreign guy just had a straight face.
"You the IRS, Mailman, or men in black?" he asked, breaking the awkward moment. Izuku answered.
"Uh no."
"Then close the door and forget this happened." the strange teen said in a warning tone.
Izuku closed the box and slowly walked away. Shaking off the weirdness, Izuku walked off to find the path that led to the front of the woods. It took him a couple of minutes to get there but now at the entrance of the forest Izuku looked a bit intimidated. The forest looked denser with towering trees than any other that Izuku had ever seen. The pine trees are taller than the buildings in his city. It was a hair-raising place.
But he remembered the trail so it would be a quick thirty-minute hike, nothing too crazy. He walked onto the path and slowly began to relax. The forest was thick with moss covering the large boulders that sat between the trees. If this place could talk, it would chit-chat endless stories.
Izuku walked to the end of the path, where the forest opened to a nice view of the surrounding land. The valley view was breathtaking with an overview of the sleeping town. With a deep breath, Izuku looked at the night sky lit by shining stars, taking it all in one last time. Izuku with all his hope of becoming a hero is crushed and burned not knowing what else to do. He gazed into the night sky, tears slowly leaking out of his eyes with all the hope he had left, which was only a little flicker, to begin with.
"Why am I being so desperate?" He looked at the night sky, with a weak look on his face and a spark of hope beginning to fill his empty heart.
"Maybe a shooting star might come by so I can make a wish." With a long exhale Izuku stared deep into the night. He waited patiently, calmly, and with determination for any sign of something with the truth.
He waited.
.
.
And waited.
.
.
God please something happens
.
.
I just want to help others and bring smiles to others.
.
.
Please anything
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Why am I here?" He whispered and then waited. There was no answer. He then realized he was wasting his time. When he started to walk away, he saw something, and when Izuku saw it. Izuku felt a little hope. What was giving him such little hope? It was a shooting star. He looked at the sparkling commit with a hopeful look in his eyes. He uttered a wish with passion.
"I wish I could be a hero." He said in a whisper. At that moment Izuku felt that his hope would never go away, it gave him a feeling of peace. Then the shooting star got a little brighter and bigger.
'Wait bigger?' as he thought that the star got way bigger, brighter, and oddly falling in his deaeration. Then he stood his ground to get a better look at the falling rock, but in a matter of few seconds, Izuku was staring in utter shock as a behemoth of a spaceship was flying over the town and then flew past him in a matter of seconds, without making any noise like a gentle giant. He saw the ship and how it was nothing he had ever seen, but the shockwave of the giant ship falling, forced Izuku to the ground, as the ship crashed miles away from him. The whole valley shook and Izuku could feel the ground beneath him quicken while he could hear the car alarms in the town go off.
Izuku was lying on the ground hyperventilating thinking "what the heck just happened?'' He was rattled in his thoughts over the events that took place.
'What happened? I've never seen a plane like that in my life. Is it a spaceship? What if someone on it got hurt?." Izuke froze at the last question and stood up to see black smoke miles away.
'If someone is hurt I can't just leave them to get help.' Without hesitation, he ran toward the smoke as fast as could. This was a sign for Izuku. The actions he takes next we're going to answer his questions and give him a new greater purpose. Izuku thought he was going there to help someone, but announced to Izuku that his very brave choice would change the universe.
At the Axalon
The Axalon saw plenty of better days, but this crash was the worst of the spaceship's life. The Axlon was wedged between two Mountain spires that covered it with giant boulders, But the ship was suspended over a grand and big waterfall that flows between them. This was the last day for the Axalon to fly though it looked grim, the out worldly explorers had a different reaction inside.
The command room was still in somewhat of a shape, with many wires and random sparks splattered from everywhere on the ship. A big round computer table glowed faint blue in the middle of the command center, but now the lights were back on, making all the passengers visible on the spaceship. They were robots, big robots, and small ones. All of them shared a worried look. The Biggest one with red eyes spoke up first.
"Damage report?" he groaned.
"Believe me. You don't wanna know." Said the hyper one. The big robot signed in defeat.
"That's what I thought." He grumbled in defeat but wondered what happened to the other ship they were chasing, what happened to Megatron.
The Darksyde
The Darksyde crashed into an active volcanic region. Their ship was pierced with huge spikes of obsidian. That strung the ship like an impaled insect. Inside the ship a giant purple robot, with glowing red eyes stared at his giant orb computer, sitting on a chair that was suspended off the ground, this is Megatron a brutal yet cunning criminal and leader of the rouge group of Cybertron Predacons. Right now he's the most dangerous being on the planet.
"Navigation! Is this the right planet?" He asked in a demanding tone. The screen lit up giving off a purple light through the command center. The computer scan lines show topographic readouts of the landscape outside.
"Unknown. Course settings were accurate but readings are inconsistent with those expected for the intended destination." The computer said. Megatron roared in anger, slamming his fist into the armrest.
"Well, we will burn that bridge when we cross it. Tell me at least this backwater planet has Energon here." Megatron asked. The computer gave a couple of scans.
"Confirmed." This gave Megatron a satisfied smile.
"Yesss! The planet has Energon!" The computer shows graphs of robot forms deteriorating.
"Warning! Too much Energon. Field readings are off the scale. Continued exposure to robotic forms will result in permanent damage." Megatron's robotic fist crashes down on a panel.
"Then we will create alternate forms based on the most powerful local creatures!" Megatron said in an annoyed tone. Then he looked at one of his robotic soldiers.
"Tarantulus!" he ordered. The multi-limbed robot obeyed and flicked a switch on the console computer.
"Scanner activated," Tarantulas yelled. Outside the ship, a metal device shot up into the air then a purple light shot out and scanned the surrounding hillside nearby that had some fossils in it. The machine found many things, T-rex fossils, pterodactyl bones, velociraptor remains, and many little insects. Though some were else the same thing was happening to the Axlon, but their scanning light was yellow, scanning any life or any past life forms nearby.
Axalon
The halls in the ship were lit up. Showing a marvel of a vessel it was, with silver floors, golden walls and, a blinking light around every corner, it was out worldly. With their scanning for their alternate forms, the crew of the Axalon came into the light to see what each one turned into.
"Scanning and replication of local life forms, complete every one, you can emerge now." The gruff voice said to the crew. One of the crewmates stepped towards the light showing it was a slim cheetah, with green eyes and deep dark black spots. The cheetah looked at itself in the mirror.
"Rrrowr! Look at me! I'm a cheetah- no I'm CHERTOR!." Cheetor yelled in excitement.
"Hmm, interesting." The commanding voice said while still in the transformation pod. Cheetor then proudly looked at himself.
"Interesting!? Mrow! Optimus, the word is.." The cat then struck a pose in the light.
"Spot-on Smoooth!" he looked at himself in the mirror again, while stroking one of his whiskers.
"I'm perfect, it's a crime." Cheetor's cockiness was meant with a snark crewmate's comment. A Giant rat walked out of one of the corners and slouched out behind him standing on its hind legs, with no problem, giving Cheetor a snide look.
"A bit tacky. Ya never had a taste. Did ya kid? Now, This is what class is about. Call me Rattrap." He said smugly, to the young crewmate. Cheetor took offense to that and extruded his claws.
"Oh yeah? How about I cut the meeces into Pieces?" Cheetor threatened. Then loud footsteps were heard coming towards the two. Out of the shadow, a big brown Rhino with a sharp white horn dawned on its nose.
"Ease back, Cheetor. Livin large is for forms like me. Rhinox." Rhinox said as if trying to tell rattrap to back off.
"Moderate Your Conflict Circuits, Maximal," Optimus commanded, to get his crew straightened out, from the chamber he was in. The doors to the chamber opened to reveal a great big silverback gorilla with a serious look on his face.
"Rember, these beast forms are to protect us from the long-term effects of the Energon fields out there. We may need Energon for power, but this is too much of a good thing." Optimus then started to walk to the hatch. The hatch opened to the top of the ship.
"Our robot forms will start to short out after a few minutes of exposure," Optimus said, then looked at the moon, trees, and landscape around him.
"This is one unusual planet?" he said then he took it to all his surroundings
"Whatever it is." Captain said
"Or Whenever," commented Rhinox. Optimus turned to the ship's chief engineer, with a confused look.
"The transwarp drive can go through space and time. We were locked onto Megatron's warp signature. We could be anywhere or anytime." This caused the leader to look up to the moon grimly.
"Yes, and our crew is orbiting the planet in those stasis pods we lost in battle. They're protected from the Energon fields, but it means Megatron has us outnumbered." He shocked his head in fruition.
"We're outgunned six to four, stuck on an unknown planet and we've got to worry about Eragon overdose," he said out loud. Rattrap then sighed.
"Where slagged," Rattrap grumbled all crew sported grim faces.
The Darksyde
The Darksyde main entry ramp was open. All the Predacons were admiring their new forms, One was a giant green wasp buzzing around in joy. A purple tarantula with yellow tribal stripes, on its thorax, The spider was crawling on the ground clicking its mandibles mischievously. Then there was a large gray scorpion and pterodactyl arguing about who was better.
A new Predacon walks out of the ship, this Predacon to the form of a brown Vasloraptor, drawing green eyes and dark brown stripes across its back. This dinosaur's name was Dinobot, a brutally yet honorable bot. Dinobot is holding a golden disk with strange symbols on it. Dinobot glares at the disk around the planet.
"NO! NO! IT IS ALL WRONG! This cannot be planet X!" Dinobot yelled. The mad warrior turned towards the entrance of the ship.
"Megatron, you FAILED! Not only did you fail to destroy the Maximals, when you had the chance! You failed to bring us to the right planet! We stole the golden disk for nothing, you IDIOT." Dinobot yelled. The warrior threw the disk at Megatron who was concealed in the shadows. When Dinobot yelled at Megatron all of the Predacons froze in fear.
There was a long uncomfortable silence. Loud stomps were bread coming closer to Dinobot, who remained unfazed. Megatron slowly and ominously emerges from the shadows of the command center, His beast form was a gigantic Purple Trex, with beating red eyes and a killer look of anger in his eyes. It opened its mouth and spoke.
"I beg your pardon. WHAT! Did you call?" Megatron asked in a smooth voice. Dinobot glared at their leader.
"You heard. You are an idiot and incompetent leader. And I am taking over!" He declared in triumph, The raptor took a stance and screamed his battle cry.
"Dinobot-TERRORISE! ROAARR!" Before All the Predacons' eyes, Dinobot Transforms into his fully armed robot mode. His appearance was a metal blue face with a sharp nose and red eyes, wearing a bronze battle helmet to go with the pieces of his raptor covering his whole body like armor. Dinobot, now in his true form, readying for combat holding his two weapons in his hands. Dawned in right was the raptor's tail split in the middle forming a spinning sharp shield of death, in his left was a silver sword that rotated making a deadly drill.
"I challenge you to battle, Megatron! The winner shall lead the Predacons and the loser shall be destroyed!" Demand Dinobot.
Megatron didn't even flinch at the challenge. Then Megatron just smiles and turns his back towards the fellow Predacon.
"Ahh, you're so impulsive, Dinobot. Brave, but misguided." The Trex said. Dinobot refuses to take no for any answer.
"Do you accept my challenge!" The Warrior demanded.
"There is more to being a leader than simple courage. There is cleverness and cunning." Megatron said giving a silent nod to the scorpion Predacon, who had slowly walked behind Dinobot.
"Isn't that right Scorponok!" Megatron smirks, Dinobot knew their leader was sending a signal to someone behind him. Dinobot turned around to see the open claw of the giant scorpion pointing at him.
A missile shot out of the claw hitting him. Dinobot was hit by the missile with great force and blasted over the hilltops. If raptors couldn't fly, they can now. Megatron watches him vanish from his sights with wicked joy.
"Loser." The Trex mutters.
There was tension in the air while all the remaining Predacons gathered around Megatron waiting for his command, all so eager to kill.
"What does it matter which planet we're on? We came looking for Energon and this planet is rich with the element! enough Energon to power the Predacons' entire galactic conquest!"
Megatron lowers his head thinking of any other past mistakes he may have forgotten.
"Only the Maximals could give us trouble now if they survived the crash, Find them." Megatron order. All of the Predacons strayed away in their own unique way. With all of them walking, Megatron gave his final order.
"And if you find them, destroy them!"
While the Predacons screeched, The maximals were in for one big surprise.
Meanwhile with Izuku
Izuku was running like there was no tomorrow, his blood would be filled with dread if someone was hurt on that spaceship. Izuku had to get to those who needed help no matter what, but due to this selfless act, he was roughed up by the surrounding area. During his heroine's sprint in the rash woods, he would sometimes trip, and the rocky terrain would stab into his shoes, followed by favored sharp tree branches cutting his face and cutting into the tracksuit. Izuku ran for miles with no breaks, he felt like collapsing
Izuku was running for so long he lost count of the time, though did notice the sun was rising. The young teen ran up a rocky hill.
"Oh my gosh," Izuku said in awe. It was at that moment the brave adventurer gazed upon two things, a very nice sunrise shining all over a clear yellow grassy plain valley and on the edge of the clear landscape a majestic waterfall. The waterfall is amazing, but that was not the eyecatcher, a real site to behold was the giant silvers spaceship wedged on top of the waterfall.
The mere sight was something else, Izuku had watched hundreds upon thousands of heroes fighting evil, stopping disasters, and saving other people with amazing powers. It was truly an out-worldly sight to behold. His thoughts were to find more answers to the mystery of a lifetime. Slowly taking out his phone from his pocket Izuku started to take pictures of the crash site from afar. Now with some evidence, Izuku started to walk towards the crashed ship, though the distance looked long he continued to keep walking.
"Whatever this thing is, I have to see if anyone was hurt, at least the smoke stopped." He said as he kept his eyes on the ship.
Curtly on the Axalon
The Maximals of the Axalon were all outside under the ship as it was supported by its giant landing gear. Rhinox was seated on his rump, carefully pushing a damaged defensive cannon back into its place. Their standing leader, Optimus, is looking at the horizon with wonder in his brown eyes at their new surroundings.
Rattrap dragged a broken piece of the ship into a pile of more scrap metal, with an annoyed look he threw the junk into the pile.
"Man, all this for a golden disk," Rattrap complained. Optimus responded to the subordinate in a serious tone.
"It was Cybertron's most carefully guarded relic, Rattrap. It gave the location of a major Energon source. That's why Megatron stole it." Rattrap still was unhappy about the answer, the rat was leaning on one of the landing gears of the ship.
"Yeah like I care! Ya know we were supposed to be doing deep space exploration. Playing Galactic Patrol wasn't nowhere in my job description, ya know what I'm saying." The wise-cracking rat said to the ape. Optimus then shakes his head in disapproval of his fellow Maximal attitude.
"You sure you're cut out for this commander gig?" Rattrap said insulting his leader, The ape gives him a look, though he replies calmly.
"Remember the great war Rattrap. If the Predacons get enough Energon, They'll start the war again. We can't let that happen." He told Rattrap how serious the situation was. The leader then looks back at the horizon admiring the early morning.
"Besides. You wanted exploration and here we are on an unknown planet. What more do you want?" He said trying to encourage his fellow Maximals. Rattrap starts muttering sarcastically.
"Well call me picky, but a workin' spacecraft would be nice." Rattrap walks over to the pile of scrap and starts to go through it.
"Just no pleasing some bots," Optimus says with a long sigh. Their youngest member of the crew emerges from a hatch at the bottom of the ship. Cheetor walks out of the ship and looks to the valley with eager eyes for adventure. Cheetor with his robotic eyes could see something in the far distance approaching them.
"Hey guys check this out, there's something coming towards us." He announced to the crew. Everyone used their robotic eyes to see a weird-looking life form approaching them.
Optimus was the first one to commit the creature. "This must be one of the local species of the plant, how peculiar." Their leader said in interest.
"It's kind of ugly, I mean why does it have green hair only on the top of its head?" Rattrap said.
"What about the bright green skin body, while its face is white." Rhinox pointed out. "Uh, maybe it's a female."
Optimus felt some joy, he was a scientist first and wanted to study the strange creature from afar. The ape was now making mental notes of the out worldly creature.
"This is great, we can learn more about this inhabited world," Optimus said to the crew, Rattrap rolled his eyes at their leader's comment. Cheetor thought of another idea.
"Hey if this thing knows stuff about the planet let's go check it out," Cheetor asked in excitement. Their leader shook his head in disapproval.
"Cheetor, we barely know anything about it, and what if you scare it away," Optimus warned, trying to give a good reason not to disturb it. Cheetor responded.
"Don't worry big bot, I'll check it out really fast," Cheetor said before running fast on all fours toward the creature.
"CHEETOR! NO!" Optimus yelled, but it was in vain, for Cheetor was already a great distance away. Cheetor was streaking down a slope towards a natural stone bridge that spans the crevasse surrounding the ship right.
"Well, at least he chose a fast form." He sighed.
Optimus touches his chest, Activating a communication device in his chest trying to call back his wild subordinate.
"Cheetor! Return to the base immediately, we don't have time for this." The sound that came from his chest was only static. Optimus had a puzzled look and turned to Rhinox for an answer. Their engineer looks at a gray box with a glass screen in the scrap pile.
"No good. The Energon fields messed up the comlinks. Anything over a hundred meters, ain't worth scrap." The Rhino explained.
"Well, that's just prime." Optimus sighed in defeat, The rat wanted to do some needling on their leader.
"So uh, this yer first day on the job or what?" he asked.
"Shut up, Rattrap," Optimus said distractedly at the rat, Rattrap gave a mocking salute.
"Oh yes SIR! Ya know I feel just heaps better knowing our lives are in yer capable hands." Rattrap said in a snarking tone.
"We're all gonna die." Rhinox groaned grimly. Optimus just ignored all these comments and tried finding the bright side of the situation, but sadly it didn't look so bright to Optimus. The leader remained calm and gazed at the running Cheetor from a long distance.
"Be careful Cheetor."
Meanwhile with Izuku
The teen was walking towards the giant ship, though he was still pretty far away, he was only halfway across the valley and the tall yellow grass made it hard to traverse the area, though this did not dissuade are young rescuer, sometimes when he was closer to the location he would take a picture to find any more detail about the ship.
'This doesn't look like an aircraft I've ever seen, it looks so advanced.' Izuku thought he was going to ponder more of what he was seeing, but stopped when he heard something running towards him. He looked ahead to see a figure bolting through the grassy field. He stopped in his tracks to see what was moving.
It looks yellow, wait, it must be the wildlife." he kept walking towards the ship before noticing the figure was getting closer, Izuku stopped again, and this time he was able to make out what was moving from afar. He could soon make out it was a big yellow feline that had black spots all over its lanky body.
"It looks like a Cheetah, uh cool," Izuku said out loud to himself. Then in a flash of realization, he slowly turned to the Cheetah which was bolting right at him.
"WAIT CH-CH-CH CHEETAH," Izuku yelled in panic, the young man began running in the opposite direction of the fierce cheetah. Izuku was trying to think of an escape plan, but every time a plan was built up, it was immediately brought down with the constant reminder, a Cheetah, the fastest animal on the planet, was chasing him. This isn't a very hard equation to figure out. Quirkless kid against giant death cat equals death.
Izuku turned his head around to see the Cheetah was way closer, close to see the green pupil in its eye, Making Izuku feel more scared than he ever was. Izuku tripped in the ditch hard and landed on his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
He flipped himself over onto his back trying to get away but with all the running he did today the poor kid was drained. Trying to stand up but failed as he landed on his knees. Then a branch snapped, gaining his attention to see the Cheetah slowly walking towards Izuku.
Izuku was shaking like a leaf in the wind, his breathing out of control and eyes wide as dinner plates.
'This is it, this is how I die.' Izuku thought grimly. Then the Cheetah slowly opened its mouth showing all its sharp white teeth. The young man expected his fate and lowered his head in defeat. 'I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry for everyone who had dealt with a stupid kid's dream, then let this be my fate.'
The Cheetah then was a foot away, waiting for death. Izuku looked up to see the Cheetah, this was a really big animal, even larger than a regular Cheetah it was probably the size of a moose, maybe bigger. He stared at the yellow cat with terror.
"Mrrow! The Names Cheetor what shakin' cats?" The Cheetah said in a cool smooth tone.
At that moment his heart slowed down for now he was begging to calm down. 'Oh thank god, he's a human, he must have a transformation quirk.' Izuku thought in relief he began to relax, taking deep breaths.
"Hey, are you okay?" Cheetor asked, The cat got scared and breathed in his paw, to take a couple of sniffs.
"Is it my breath?" The large cat worried, hoping he did not ruin the first contact between an alien and Cybertronian. Izuku got up from the ground and bowed apologetically.
"No, you're alright si-r-r it's just you spooked me is all," Izuku said in a nervous stutter, then when stopped his bow and stood straight, he saw the Cheetor looking at him with wide eyes, with a dropped jaw.
"Woah," he said in surprise, Izuku worried that he might offend the man, worriedly he froze.
"Did I-i-i offend you sir?" he asked. The Cat was snapped out of his amazed face.
"No you're fine, it's just I didn't think you can talk, oh man wait until the big bot hears about this." Cheetor then looked at the kid with more eager happiness.
'All right Cheetor this is the first contact with alien life and has no suspension of me being an alien, I choose good from what his reaction could tell, looks like the form I took was cable of speech in the first place.' Cheetor thought.
"Wait why didn't you think I couldn't talk?'' Izuku asked.
'Oh no, don't blow it, don't blow it, don't blow it.' That is what Cheetor said in his head, trying not to panic.
"Oh It's nothing don't worry about it, so why are you out here little dude, what brings you here-oh wait I'm sorry didn't get your name," Cheetor said, trying to steer the kid from any suspicious action he was doing. Izuku polity bowed to the cat.
"My name is Izuku midoriya." While bowing he remembered why he was here in the first place, stood straight up, and had worried eyes for whoever was on that ship, those were noticed by Cheetor, In fact, he started to notice how beat up this kid looked.
"Mr. Cheetor, there is a crashed plane or spaceship-I don't know what it is, but I need to go help whoever is there," Izuku said in a brave, but nervous, shaky voice. Cheetor was taking back from his action,
'For such a little guy, he got a big spark, hey Rattrap could learn a thing or two from this organic.' Cheetor thought. With all that Izuku could muster, tried to run to the ship, but all that running and pushing himself he did today caused him to fall in fatigue, also Cheetor was standing in his way.
"Slow down there Izuku," Cheetor told him. Izuku tried to hold himself up the best he could but fell due to how tired he was, it looks like all that running of miles caught up to the young man. but was caught by young Cheetah's teeth with the collar of his tracksuit hanging from the feline mouth. Trying his best to stand, Izuku found that he was exhausted, soon gaining his balance. Cheetor jested to sling an arm over his neck so he could help walk with the teen.
"T-t-t-thank you." He said in a weak tone, Cheetor gave a sly smile and gave a hopeful comment. "Don't worry about it and besides I'll tell the crew about you trying to lend a helping hand." Izuku paused and turned his head towards Cheetor.
"You were on that ship?" Izuku asked in a surprised voice.
"Yep, also just to let you know everyone on the ship is okay, except for Rat that is getting on my nerves, but other than that everything is spot on," Cheetor said in a happy tone, this caused Izuku to sigh in relief.
"How about I get you, home kid, you look like you ran a marathon and that's my job." He offered, Izuku then politely declined.
"I'll find my home, I don't want to bother you guys anymore, sorry Mr. Cheetor." Izuku sad with his head down in shame knowing he ran for nothing and probably the heroes were already on it, So remembering the haunting line that echoed though is mined.
"You're quirkless."
Cheetor saw that the Izuku was looking sad and felt bad for the kid. The cat soon had an idea to help this young man out of his funk.
"Hey, for an apology you can tell me more about yourself while I get you home, how does that sound hero," Cheetor said in a hopeful tone. The comment snapped Izuku out of his sad monument, especially calling him a hero.
"Thank you, sir, I'll gladly accept your kindness."
"Please sir was my father's name, it's just Cheetor." he corrected.
"Right sorry about that," Izuku responded in a polite tone
"Let's just turn around and it will be straight back home," Izuku said, guiding the two to Izuku's new home. The two walked while Izuku was supported by Cheetor.
"Are you a hero Cheetor?'' he asked, Cheetor then had a goofy smile on his face.
"Naw im just a smooth cat, what made you ask that?" he questioned.
"I just thought how heroic you are right now," Izuku told Cheetor.
"Heroic is hardly what I call walking someone home. Your thoughts are appreciated." The two started to make some headway in talking, Izuku was about to ask about Cheetor Quirk though he ceased in conversation when he heard some loud buzzing noise.
"Hey, do you hear that buzzing?" Izuku asked, Cheetor stopped also hearing the buzzing too. "Yeah what is that, it sounds like it's coming close."
The buzzing didn't stop, it was only getting closer, it was like helicopter blades chopping in the air. The two looked in the distance to see something flying towards them and it was coming fast.
Then it was soon in eye distance to reveal a giant green wasp, it was the size of a helicopter with thousands of light purple eyes watching them, with big black and yellow abdomen, but the worst part was the bug looking at the two of them with mad glare. Izuku gave a freaked-out expression.
"Hey the way you reacted to that, say that's no natural life-form," Cheetor said as if trying to figure out a piece to the puzzle.
"Y-y-yay Hornets don't get that big or green, you don't think he's a v-v-villain do you." He said in fear of the worst. Cheetor figured out what was going on, this wasn't an animal, it was a Predacon and it looks like he only had two options. One he could blow his cover or two he could grab the kid and make a break for it. Izuku held Cheetor close, his gut telling something was about to go down. The wasp was hovering near them with malicious intent, Cheetor slowly whispered to Izuku.
"Get on my back, we're getting out of here quick." He did as Cheetor said without hesitation. The Wasp could see the worried look in the Cheetah's eyes and knew this was not an animal but a Maximal, with some sort of local life on its back, only Maximal's care for others. This was all the evidence he needed to attack them.
"Waspintor found you." He said in the third person, his voice was buzzing with a high pitch tone, making him have a really funny voice. The two stood their ground waiting for something to break the ice.
"Waspinator-TERRORIZE!" The wasp that was hovering in the air was now transforming into a creature of metal and flesh. It still had green metal skin with a mandible mouth hiding its sharp teeth, and purple ommatidia on its chest, while also covering its face, it was a giant robot, with bits and pieces of the wasp covering him like armor. Two giant bug wings buzzed in the air, keeping it in the sky, in its right hand was a weird-looking gun pointing right at the two.
The two shared different reactions, while Cheetor growled in anger trying to think of an escape plan for him and Izuku now that he saw a Transformer. Izuku had wide eyes while his mouth was wide open in utter Woah. The very site he watched somehow was nothing else he's very seen. He cursed to himself why he didn't bring his notebook but was lucky to be recording what he just saw while his phone was in his right hand. Izuku had just seen a giant wasp turn into a robot. Then Waspinator fired big black stingers at the two of them.
"Hold on!" Cheetor yelled, before the stingers could hit the ground, Izuku was snapped out of his daze and held onto Cheetor's back while he ran from Waspinator's assault. The black stingers started to hit the ground to reveal they were explosive. The explosions were so big and loud that they echoed through the valley. Izuku had to cover his eyes to avoid a flashbang. Cheetor yelled at Izuku who opened his eyes.
"Quick get off and find cover, he is only after me." Izuku got off his back and fell to the ground. Izuku landed hard on his side, bruising his whole right arm. Cheetor felt there was no weight on his back and turned around to face the dreaded Waspinator.
"Wait where are you going?" Izuku yelled, Cheetor knew his cover was blown, so there was no use in trying to hide it anymore, Cheetor then yelled while standing his ground against the enemy.
"Izuku it's time for this cat to pounce!" Cheetor said.
Cheetor Maximize! He leaps into the air transforming into a sleek robot warrior with blue metal on his arms, cat-like face, and legs. Cheetah spots ran all over his back, there was also the yellow helmet dawned by a gun that looked like the combined child of flesh and metal. Cheetor started to blast wildly at Waspinator, the bug had to buzz around to avoid getting shot at. While the gunfight was going on Izuku couldn't take his eyes off the action, this was more than just watching hero fights, with heroes it's a game of evading and capture, but this was a battle for blood with each side not backing down. Izuku ran from the fight to see a large ditch leading across the valley and hid behind a large boulder in the large, wide, ditch, though he kept his head out so he could watch the fight while taking a few videos of the fight.
Axalon
The rest of the Maximals then noticed the billowing explosions from afar, all having looks of horror, worrying about their young friend.
"Un, oh," Rattrap said in shock.
"MOVE! MOVE!" Optimus yelled to the group.
Before Rattrap knew what was happening Optimus mounted on Rhinox. Riding into the fray and grabbed the rat by the scruff of his neck, pulling him onto Rhinox's hide. The Maximals were on the way, with mad Rhino at the lead, he was moving like a freight train, heading toward the loud noises. Then the group could see a large group of heavy rocks, on the trail toward their friend. Rattrap was the first to react.
"HEADS UP! ROADBLOCK!" He yelled to the team. Optimus reacts, making a quick command decision.
"Veer left there's a clearing about a hundred meters-" He was cut off when Rhinox rams through the blockade of rock at full speed and smashes them without even slowing down. They continue to thunder along. Optimus sighs in defeat.
"Ah yes silly me." Optimus then thought of Cheetor's safety. "Don't worry Cheetor helps on its way, I just hope you're okay."
With Cheetor and Izuku
Right now Cheetor, he was running towards the large ditch which had plenty of big rocks to take cover, he leaps towards the rocks just as Waspinator's missiles nearly impact him causing a massive explosion, Cheetor landed and dived behind some boulders, he tried to keep shooting his gun but the scout found the weapon was jammed. He looked to the right to see Izuku hiding behind a rock next to him, the poor kid was shaking in fear while covering the top of his head for protection. Cheetor growled a frustrated meow at how Izuku was scared and didn't want any innocent people getting hurt, especially Izuku, all the kid wanted to do was help us. Izuku was trying his best to stay calm, but he wished some hero would show up.
"What's happening? There are animals that turned into robots, why are they trying to do this? I'm scared, I just wanted to help." Izuku cried as tears of fear started to leak from his eyes.
"Of all the times for a quasar jam-" But before he could finch his swear he heard some yell his name.
"CHEETOR!" a commanding voice yelled, snapping Izuku out of his terror, also gaining Cheetaor attention, while also making the wasp stop his fire. On the other side of the ditch were Rhinox, Optimus, and rattrap lined up looking ready for a fight. The Cat saw his friends, though Izuku only saw a big ape, rhino, and rat but the way Cheetor looked at them with hope in his yellow eyes.
Izuku saw how the ape was staring at Cheetor with a worried look, but then he saw something that made Izuku gasp, for a moment Izuku saw the emotion in the gorilla's eyes as if he figured out the situation that took place here, there was only determination. The hero fanboy recognized that look, it was the look of a hero.
"Cheetor take him and get to cover! We'll swat that pesky Predacon." Optimus commanded in a brave voice that would put All might's heroic tone to shame. Izuku was about to make a run towards Cheetor but stopped when he heard loud thumps shake the ground. Izuku slowly turned his whole body towards the other side of the ridge.
The sight made him wide-eyed. Standing on the edge of the ridge were giant purple Trex with red eyes that gaze through your soul, A giant tarantula making clicking noises, A big scorpion clicking its claws and a giant red pterodactyl flapping its giant wings. Izuku was flabbergasted at what he was looking at, there never was a quirk that could turn people into dinosaurs, but then he remembered that these were giant robots in disguise. The whole moment went dead quite like somebody was waiting for anybody to make a move. Megatron spoke first
"Oh I would not count on that, Maximal's nooo," Megatron said in a smooth voice, which made poor Izuku shiver, then he looked at them with an angry snarl, that soon turned into twisted pleasure.
"For I believe that you are soon to have, how shall I put it, difficulties of your own Yesss" he stated with a wicked smile. Optimus stood on his legs, trying to stand tall, and spoke.
"We Don't have to do this, Megatron. There has been peace between the Maximals and Predacons For centuries. Why start this up again?" Though all the Predacons growled, Izuku thought this was going to be a gunfight, but this guy wanted to end this peacefully. It oddly inspired him,
"These robots have to be heroes. Centuries? Does that mean they were robots living among us in secret? Did I stumbled into a big conspiracy?" Izuku thought. Megatron then spoke.
"Peace perhaps on your side, Maximal scum. Yessss. But not on ours. Permit me to inform you that an enemy which appears to be peaceful may in fact be merely biding its time." He said in an evil tone, though his argument was a gut punch to peace, someone had something to say to his words.
"THEN MAYBE INSTEAD OF BIDING, YOU CAN TALK TO THEM!" Izuku yelled, surprising everyone, The Maximals looked towards where the voice came from and saw Izuku standing there shaking with fear but with a determined look in his eyes. The Preadions were all looking at Megatron in fear, as no one talked back to him and if you did, hope you liked a closed casket funeral Megatron looked very angry.
"WHO SAID THAT, SHOW YOURSELF!" Megatron demanded, then his red eyes saw something walking behind one of the boulders to see Izuku. He was still shaking like a leaf but his look was that of unwavering hope. Megatron then saw who dared speak against him, a little bug like that to talk to him in such a manner, made him chuckle. Even the Predacons laughed at the kid.
"Oh my look, you must be one of the local life forms of this planet." His red eyes never once left the boy almost trying to put him back in his place with his angry stare.
"T-t-that r-r-right-tt." He said in a nervous voice, but then realized Megatron's words, "Does this mean there really are aliens?" Izuku thought, today his mind was officially blown.
"Well boy what do you call this planet?" he asked with a venomous tone, for every word he said left like talking to the devil himself.
"Earth." He said quick and fast, Megatron himself could see them fear the boy's body, but the damn look in his eyes was so frustrating to look at. The look of not giving up or backing down Megatron hated that.
"Earth, this planet is called earth, what terrible name for the world, you might as well call it dirt. Yesss, That sounds way more of a better name than Earth, don't you think hmmm? Megatron asked in a smug tone.
"P-p-please, why not try and make peace, if there's conflict or problems, then you should tell them what's wrong and maybe they will help you," Izuku said in a kind voice, trying to help Optimus reason with the Predacons. "Then maybe you don't have to bid anymore."
The Maximals all were amazed, that much a stranger would try and help them, though many of the other Maximals knew that Megatron would never listen, they all looked at the young man with an impressed look, while others saw him walking towards his grave. Optimus agreed with the stranger's words and hoped that if they made it out of this, he could ask him a couple of questions about this world if all his species were this carrying.
"You know strangers should mind their own business, especially strange little aliens, who I could squash under my foot." Megatron threatened in a smooth tone. Izuku stepped back in fear.
"I just had to open my big mouth." Izuku mutters, As Megatron looks at Izuku with Malicious intent.
"You should listen to him Megatron," Optimus says breaking the T Rex's harmful glare at Izuku, though this also gained Izuku's attention as well.
"Yes Megatron he is a stranger, but sometimes a stranger can be a wise teacher and he's right. We can work to help you, we can have peace between us."
Optimus then looked toward the amazed boy and gave him a respectful nod. Izuku oddly wanted to know more about him, in his life whenever he tried to stand up, he was pushed back down by everyone, but for once he when stood today, someone supported him, though the two were encountering each other for the first time oddly, there was a strong connection, like two kindred flames.
While all of this happened Cheetor was finally able to unjam his gun and cocked it back, giving off a beep. "Finally," he whispered. Back with Megatron breaking the heart-filled moment by rolling his eyes.
"Oh give me a break, we Predacons have never abandoned our rightful goal of galactic conquest. Nooo. we have merely been waiting for the right moment to Strike!" Megatron said in a cold commanding tone. The leader of Predacons then looks at Izuku
"And let me tell you, something boy, I'm going to start my conquest by striking you down like the bug you are." Megatron threatened in wicked joy, Cheetor was set off by the comment and at that moment leaned out from behind the boulder with his gun aimed at Megatron.
"Ya Mean like this!" Cheetor yelled before shooting a ball of yellow energy, hitting Megatron under his scaly jaw, the blast impact rocked the massive T-rex backward. The blast did do a certain amount of surface damage, but the big Predacon leader recovered immediately.
Optimus then called out to his Friend, "Cheetor!"
Megatron then looked at the attacker, with an amused smirk
"Ah. A treacherous, underhanded sneak attack. I like you, pussycat. Noo. For now, the power gauntlet has been cast." Megatron announced the battle had started and Izuku took cover. The T-rex then yelled a battle cry to rally the troops.
"PREDACONS! TERRORIZE!"
Too bad Optimus had a response.
"MAXIMALS MAXIMISE." Yelled the Ape to the animals on his side. Izuku had a great view from the bottom of the ditch to see a spectacular series of animals transforming into giant robots.
"Tarantulas! Terrorize." he screeched, turning into a humanized purple robot with its eight legs, pointing outward on its shoulder. With many eyes on his forehead, sported by claws for hands.
"Rhinox Maximize!" He trumpeted, as he turned into a hulking green robot, with glowing red eyes, and dawned on his head a bronze mohawk, With Rhino skin kelt around his waist and a gun that looked like a buzzsaw and mace combined.
"Scorponok terrorize!" screech truing into a Gray robot with scorpion claws, while his tail was hanging from his back and had a yellow visor with a scorpion shell on his chest.
"Rattrap Maximize." Chittering into a bronze robot with the rat head on his chest and what looked like rat teeth in his mouth.
"Terrorsaur Terrorize!" he spun into a red robot, with sharp fins on its arms. While flying in the air with a white metal face.
"Megatron Terrorize" Bellowed, transformed into his giant robot mode but with Trex bit for armor around his body and a Trex head on the right hand, while the tail on the other arm. Megatron had purple eyes and a purple chrome body to go with it. If Megatron wasn't scary enough, this was the icing on the cake.
"Optimus Maximize!" He roared. Turning into a Robot with red eyes, a metal faceplate, gorilla hands, and fur covering him like clothes. There were guns that came out of his wrist and two big cannons on his shoulder.
Izuku was watching all the transformations, each one different than the last, it was amazing. Though his moment of baking in the robot's glory is cut short due to overhearing a Trex.
"Now Obliterate them, Oh! and make sure to kill that organic that mouthed off to me early." Megatron starts blasting lasers out of the head of the T-rex. The Predacons open fire with all their weapons. Missiles, lasers, and blast bolts streak through the air, smashing around the Maximals. Izuku was hunched in the fetal position trying to stay calm and think of a way to live but failed to fear for his own life. The disapproving voice haunting in the back of his mind, made him panic more, everything was going blurry, and his hands started shaking, oh god he felt like he was suffocating. Cheetor witnessed this and tried to rush to Izuku, he scrambles to run up towards him., but a blast strikes him causing him to stumble. His robotic food was wedged into a pile of boulders.
"Rrowl ! I'm- I'm stuck." Cheetor yelled to his team, The Maximal leader looked at the scout and pointed toward him in worry. Having taken cover behind some rocks outcropping as they return fire. Izuku was snapped out of his panic attack, seeing Cheetor helplessly pinned by the rocks. "No It's my fault he's here I can't let him die because of me." More voices started to ring through his head.
"A pro should always be ready to risk his life, without power can one be a hero, No." Izuku was having a panic attack and blamed himself for all of this.
"Rattrap! Help Cheetor! We'll cover you!" Optimus ordered. Rattrap is crouched behind a boulder, A blast from the Predacons takes out a massive chunk of stone over his head.
"Yeah Right!" he said back to his leader. Optimus was frustrated at the insubordination.
"That's an order Rattrap!" He yelled in anger, Rattrap looked annoyed, giving off an I don't why die tone of voice. Izuku was snapped out of his panic when he heard them argue.
"Cheetor is going to die, because of me," Iuzku whispered.
"Yeah? An' you can just kiss my skid plate, Fearless leader. Cause I ain't going out there an' Getting' My pelt punctured!" Optimus growled and was going to go himself to save Cheetor, But stopped when he saw a little human running towards Cheetor.
"No stop, it's too dangerous," Optimus yelled in worry, he couldn't even move from his cover due to all the shots being fired. The pined cat saw Izuku running at him at full speed with a big stick in his hand and a determined look to save Cheetor's life.
"Izuku get out here, save yourself." he cried, but Cheetor stopped when he saw tears in Izuku's eyes, he charged with a stick and jammed the large piece of wood into the big rocks, trying to use all his strength to unwedged Cheetor trapped leg.
"I'm sorry Cheetor my legs just started moving, why? I dunno." Izuku said trying as best he could and then gave Cheetor a Hopefully tear-eyed look.
"You, You looked like you needed saving." With all his might pushed off the makeshift wedge, Cheetor left his spark ache, because of how much this kid was helping him, even Optimus could hear what the brave teen said and it moved his spark. The feeling faded when Cheetor felt his foot loosen from the rocks.
"Izuku keep going little buddy, I'm almost free." he cheers, but it was noticed by one of the Predacons, Megatron had an evil smirk.
"Ah, two for one, not a bad deal." He pointed the Trex head at them to blast to pieces.
"And I'm sold." then Megatron got hit by a blast, knocking him back, and shot in the shoulder by Optimus.
"Over my cold dead spark Megatron." Then Cheetor could feel his foot freed and be greeted by an exhausted Izuku with a big smile. Optimus then waves over to them.
"Come on, will cover you," Optimus said as he used his wrist guns to give cover, Megatron got up with a pissed look. Izuku tried to stand but was too exhausted, but he found himself being cared for by a fast robot, Cheetor picked up Izuku and had a big smile on his metal face.
"Take it, easy hero, you saved my life and now it's time, I save yours," Cheetor said in joy, to Izuku crying tears of joy for saving his friend's life.
"Maybe I could be a hero." he thought in joy. Cheetor noticed his friend's waterworks. "Save those tears, because we're going to win this later."
Izuku nodded "Right." whipping his eyes.
"Do NOT let them escape." Megatron orders, The other Predacons redouble their fire on the two trying to escape, though the fast scout evades all the shots with fast speed and reflexes. Rhinox and Rattrap were ducking for cover, Rhinox then grabbed the smaller Maximal by the back of his armor, lifting him up to his face.
"Hey lemme down, ya big bulldozer!" Rattrap yelled, Rhinox then had a stern look on his face.
"Cover fire bro. They need it, we give it now." Rhinox told Rattrap in a deep growl voice, with Rattrap still in his steel hard grip lifting, held him out in front and laid down a blistering hail of cover fire towards the Predacons. The Predacons are forced to duck and dodge the oncoming fire.
Cheetor then sees his golden opportunity, The young scout, still holding Izuku, races up the grassy slope under fire towards their comrades, when they reach the top, Optimus then runs near them and sends some cover fire, giving all the Maximals enough time to escape.
"Back to the base! Let's go, let's go." Optimus yelled, every Maximal turned into their beast forms and ran as fast as they could from the warzone, Cheetor put Izuku on his back and ran. Megatron was furious at the unsuccessful assault, the Maximal was getting away and even the human was unharmed.
"After them! Go, you -AAARGH!" Megatron was cut off by sparking and crackling over his robot body. Then all the Predacons were doing the same, some falling out of the sky and thudding to the ground.
"Waspinator cannot move!" Megatron was angry in his helpless state and knew it was the Energon fields doing.
"Energon field build-up. Convert back to Beast mode." Megatron ordered all of his forces, and soon all of them turned into their beast form, slowly Megatron pulled himself off the ground and growled, but not before slowly sniffing the air, gaining a creepy smile.
With the Maximals
After a good couple of minutes of them running away, Izuku was now on Cheetor's back, next to Rhinox while Optimus and Rattrap are hitching a ride on top of the rhino's back, slowly regaining stamina and then trying to find the courage to ask some questions.
Optimus gorilla hand clamps down on Rattrap's neck and lifts him, the rat struggles In Optimus' Stern grip. Izuku was about to say something when Cheetor turned his head and gave him no look.
"Don't worry he'll be okay." Cheetor, the teen gave him a nod, as he watched what the leader did next.
"Awwwrk! what's got yer servos so bent?" Rattrap snickers and Optimus gives a Serious look to the rat.
"Let's get one thing straight, Rattrap. I am the commander of this group. And when I give an order, I expect it to be obeyed." Optimus scolded, but the rat had a comeback
"Oh yeah. So I get vaped because you're too chicken to go yourself?" The ape kept a calm look.
"I will not give an order I would not be willing to do myself. But I was capable of giving you better cover fire. You were not." The ape turned toward Izuku with a calm look. Izuku began to look nervous,
"Oh man, their argument was getting intense." Izuku thought. Optimus threw Rattrap back in disgust. Rattrap tries to coax Optimus out of his temper.
"Ah come on, what you shortin' about? We got outta there alive, didn't we, and the little alien guy saved Cheetor." Optimus is surveying their path ahead, He speaks coldly.
"But we were injured. It will take time for our beast forms to effect internal repairs and how would you feel if your ally got hurt." Rattrap mutters
"Yeah well, better you than me."Izuku then felt guilt well up inside, he blurts out an apology, gaining all the Maximal's attention
"I'm so sorry sir it's all my fault, I was the one who started this, if I hadn't been walking towards your ship to help, none of this would have happened." Izuku was now bowing his head towards the ape, Optimus gave a little chuckle, this creature was trying to help us and now is trying to take the blame honorably.
"No it's not your fault, you had good attention, but none of this is your fault. I should apologize for getting you stuck in the battle yo- I'm sorry, what was your name?" Optimus asked, Izuku bowed again.
"My name is Izuku Midoriya," he said with tears still in his eyes.
"My Name is Optimus Primal, Captain of the Axalon." He announced. "You've already met our scout Cheetor."
Then the Rhino introduced himself.
"My name is Rhinox, the chief engineer." Rattrap was not paying attention and didn't look like he cared.
"Um Hello," he said in an awkward tone to the rat.
"Yay name's Rattrap," Rattrap said lazily, earring a cold look from their leader.
"What!" Rattrap asked in confusion.
"Well Izuku Midoriya thank you for saving Cheetor and thank you for trying to make peace with Megatron, that was very brave of you." He complimented, Izuku was slowly starting to like Optimus, he was honest and right.
"Yay thanks for that little buddy," Cheetor said.
"You got guts kid, I like ya." Rhinox gives his two cents, Rattrap, then throws his compliment. In his way.
"Yay whatever, I mean not bad for a little guy." Rattrap then had an idea pop into his head.
"Hey, kid." Rattrap looked at Izuku. "This planet got any spaceship or something, 'cause I want to get off this rock as fast as I can."
"Uh we do, but we only made it to our moon so far, sorry." Rattrap had a deadpan look.
"You're kidding me right."Izuku looked down in worry. "Sorry." Rattrap was stuck or a better term trapped on a backwater planet.
"We're all going to die." He sighed. In Izuku's mind, he swore he was going to find a way to help them as much as he could.
"U-u-uhm e-e-excuse me sir." Optimus then turned his head towards Izuku, then saw how worried he looked, and gave a calm nod.
"What is it, Izuku?"
"I wanted to know what you are, robots or aliens, and who built you guys, and how your ship works-," Izuku said as he rambled his questions until he was cut off by Optimus.
"Maybe one Question at a time, I'll answer the questions I could understand, but Izuku you can't tell anyone about this okay, not your friends, family, anybody. For I don't want to start any more chaos and also I believe your planet might not be ready for first contact, Do you understand." Izuku gave a nod, taking the hint, Optimus was going to tell him everything.
"Izuku Midoriya, we are not built, but born, we are autonomous robotic organisms originating from the distant planet Cybertron." Izuku's jaw dropped, aliens are officially on earth and he was the first contact. "Are they like heroes on their planet, I mean they had to be Especially Optimus?" Izuku thought.
"Why are you guys here on earth and why animals?" Izuku asked, Cheetor spoke up.
"We kind of crashland here." Cheetor sighed, Rattrap then cried out.
"And it's all thanks to the fearless monkey."
"Actually he's not a monkey, he's a primate, monkeys have tails, primates don't." Izuku corrected, and Rattrap gave him a deadpan look.
"Did it look like I wanted an explanation for what he is?"
"Shut up Rattrap," Cheetor yelled, the rat shook his head. "It's okay Izuku, Rattrap is just a jerk."
"It's alright, I didn't mean to offend," Izuku said awkwardly. Optimus gave another cold glare to Rattrap.
"Izuku, we're an exploration crew, we study different planets in disguise, for science, But when we were on our mission to map new solar systems and study the life within them, we intercepted a signal from our home." Optimus then put on the strong look that Izuku saw at the battle.
"A criminal by the name Megatron stole an ancient map from our home world. It led to ancient powers, we were the only ship close to them so we decided to purist them and stop them." Izuku was awed by Optimus. He wasn't a hero or law enforcement, just a normal guy, who wanted to do the right thing. Izuku felt inspired by his heroic nature.
"Why do we transform? There are two reasons, it's natural for a race to be able to transform into other forms, and two, your planet is so full of energy we have had to pick these flesh forms to protect us."
"What's Energon?" Izuku asked.
"Energon is a powerful source of energy, that is in your planet and it is so unstable that the energy waves could kill us," Optimus answered Izuku now understood.
"Oh I get it, but why hasn't earth discovered it yet." Izuku question.
"Energon deposits are not easy to find, with just any digging equipment, it forms in places where one would not expect," Optimas explained. Izuku understood but felt like this Energon they speak of was so out of place to hear about this information.
"Woah." Izuku sighed in amazement.
"It's a lot to take in, I know." Cheetor then looked behind, seeing no one behind them. "I think we gave them the fade, Optimus."
Optimus still had his guard up for anything.
"Keep your sensors on full time. According to the Golden Disk theft reports, there were six Predacons. One of them was missing from the battle." This set Izuku on edge. There was one more out there, but why wasn't he with his group?
"Yah well uh, maybe he was destroyed in the crash," Rattrap said, Rhinox wished it was that easy.
"Nah. That kinda, of luck we ain't been getting much of, lately." Rhinox says, Rattrap then notices something ahead.
"Tell me about it. Look." Just as the group walked towards the rock bridge they saw a velociraptor standing on the bridge and glowing toward them. Izuku had to say that the dinosaur was scary and held Cheetor back firmly, Though why didn't he attack, is this some sort of trap, why is he just standing there? The group comes to a stop, and Optimus swings down from Rhinox's back.
"Should we blast him?" Rhinox asked.
"Keep that option open, but hang on," Optimus ordered. The raptor took a Challenging pose as if daring them to cross.
"Attention Maximals!" Dinobot yelled in his gruff voice "My name is Dinobot. I have left the Predacons to join your group." Everyone had a surprised expression. Izuku couldn't believe he saw how brutal the Predacons were but this guy wanted a second chance.
"But as your Leader." Dino bot growled.
Izuku went pale with surprise.
"What did I hear the word leader?" Cheetor asked dumbfounded.
"This guy's got a bearing of chrome steel," Rhinox said.
Dinobot Raises his claw Challengingly pointing at Optimus "I hereby challenge you, Optimus Primal, to a one-on-one battle. The winner shall lead the Maximals and the loser shall be destroyed!."
