Author's Note: Oh wow I got reviews for this sure only a few but wow... I wasn't expecting anything cause well yeah... when I started writing this fic I wasn't sure I would finish it actually I never did... but I thought that I wanted to show others out there that I just don't do DBZ fics, took a borrowed boxset of Transformers to get me back in to it, and I've started drawing some of the created autobots of mine too, you can check 'em out on Deviant Art… http:jdeedagotengurl. I don't own the transformers or the songs featured in this fic.
'It's all about me' – Mya ft. Sisqo, 'I am' – Killing Heidi, '1,2, step' – Ciara ft Missy Elliot, 'You gonna fall behind me' – The Donna's, 'It really don't matter to me' – Confidential. 'I don't wanna be' – Gavin DeGraw, 'Six cycle Carousal' – Lifehouse, 'Kryptonite' – 3 doors Down, 'Get Right' – Jennifer Lopez. I don't actually have the lyrics so forgive the crude translations….
Jazz looked round the trees were swaying in a slight breeze, Arcee looked round Daniel sitting on her shoulder and she then looked to Springer.
"What no welcoming party?" He asked.
Jazz pulled out the hand held radio device and he tapped the side of it. "A-yo check this out gang, we got no radio frequencies with the ship anymore…"
They all peered at the radio device there wasn't anything registering on it at all.
"So we've lost all radio contact?" Arcee looked at them. "Already."
"Well I say we go meet the locals and see if they're friendly. We're suppose to chart this place so lets chart it." Springer remarked.
The four autobots entered the forest heading towards the co-ordinates that had given them their landing destination.
"This place has such life." Blaster remarked looking at how green the leaves were. "And they have some good tunes."
"For you maybe." Springer grumbled. "But my audio sensors were shaking up when they left us their landing destination."
"Still no one came to greet us. I think that's rather strange." Arcee looked at the other three.
"Well they could be assessing us from a distance, to see if we're friend or foe." Blaster offered.
Springer looked to Jazz and Blaster. "One of you two should try and send out a message to them."
Jazz and Blaster both just shrugged. "Guess it couldn't hurt." Jazz remarked and he turned the radio dial before transforming in to his car form, his pointed sub woofers sliding out from inside his boot.
"Forget about you, you, you, you. Forget about you. So what you gunna do, do, do, do do? What you gunna do? Are you gunna get it up? Get it up? Get it up? Get it up bah-by. Forget about you, you, you, you, you, so what you gunna do, do, do, do, do?…"
Springer and Arcee covered their audio sensors with their hands as Jazz played out the tune.
"So what's he saying to them?" Springer called out to Blaster.
"He's asking them what they're gunna do." Blaster grinned as he clicked his fingers in tune with the beat.
Jazz's radio began to pick up a frequency and he transformed as he adjusted the radio to the frequency and more music began to pulse through it and a song started to play though the radio.
"I know I know I know what you'd say, hey, I know I know I know all the games you play, I am I am I am not afraid, yeah, I know I know I know what you'd say yeah!"
"Okay I think I'm beginning to follow this now." Daniel remarked. "Ask them where they are."
"I don't think my audio sensors can take much more of this." Springer complained his hands sill over his audio sensors.
"Alright now it's my turn!" Blaster grinned before transforming in to his stereo form.
"Let me see you, one two, step, I wanna see you, one two, step, everybody one, two, step, we've got to get it on."
Springer looked at Arcee as she watched the communication between the two frequencies. "I hope they speak normally when we finally meet these guys." She looked at Springer.
"Your not the only one." Springer agreed.
"Your gunna fall behind me, you're gunna cry and beg for mercy, cause you're not ready baby, cause you got nothing on me."
Jazz just grinned, "They have a point ya know, we will fall behind we don't know who we're dealing with." He transformed and his subwoofers swung out again.
"It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, (What you do,), It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, It really don't matter to me, (What you see,)."
"I don't wanna be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately, all I have to do is be at ease with a piece of mind, I'm tired of looking round wondering who I'm suppose to be, I don't wanna be anything other than me."
"Oh I never thought that I'd end up here, never thought I'd be standing where I am, I guess I kinda thought it'd be easier, than this, now I was wrong, now one more time… cause I tried to climb your steps, I tried to chase you down…"
"I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon, After all I knew it had to be something to do with you. I really don't mind what really happens now and then, As long as you'll be my friend at the end."
"Bingo Jazz baby you have contact!" Blaster jumped up and down excitedly.
"Maybe they'll turn that racket off now." Springer remarked.
"All I need baby is you right here by my side, take what ever you want baby lets ride, what ever you want, let me decide, just put your name on the dotted line, we can get right, before the night is out, we can get right, get riiiiiggght, tonight."
They all stopped suddenly as the music came from the bushes beside them and they heard the sound of metallic footsteps and looked to the side a dual purple colored female transformer stepped through the threes and she smiled at the group of them.
"I don't believe it…" Arcee looked at the female.
The female transformer smiled and Blaster looked at Jazz as he transformed back from his car form.
"You're an autobot…" He saw the ingigmia.
She looked down and tilted her head to the side and she smiled. "I guess I am."
"English finally!" Springer remarked earning a whack across the back of the head by Arcee.
She laughed. "I'm sorry about that, it's always a test for those that come to this planet, you learn to adjust and speak the language of the natives."
"So you're not a native?" Arcee asked.
"I was created here, so I guess I am, but my father built me and my brothers here as this planets defense system, back during the old days of the great war. This planet has a unique energy source that he didn't want the deceptions to get their hands on. But for the protective shield to function properly my father had to give up his life force in to the defensive computer,"
"And he picked the music of this planet as it's priority defense which is why all transformers minus Jazz and myself are effected by the music." Blaster remarked.
"So do you have a name?" Springer looked at the female autobot.
"Ninita." She replied, "We live here peacefully with the humans of this planet."
"There are humans here too…" Daniel asked excitedly.
Ninita smiled. "Of course, follow me." She transformer and they looked at her seeing her sleek dual purple and white emergency helicopter transformer mode.
"And I was hoping she'd be an awesome sound system." Blaster remarked.
The group of them transformed Springer following in his helicopter mode
The shuttle sat just out of range of the planet's radio range. The transformers sat there looking at the planet.
"Is the scan of the planet done?" Rodimus asked over the communicator.
"Just about." Kup replied. "They're down there on the planet but we can't risk communication this far away without being dragged in to the planets radio disruptive waves."
"Give them five hours then move in for communication." Rodimus ordered.
"Me Grimlock say we smash our way in there."
"Not yet, we don't know if they're actually in any danger." Rodimus remarked.
"Rodimus is right, we should wait til night." Wheelie added.
"Contact me if you can't get through, Rodimus out." His image flicked off the screen
Blur looked at the screen and he let out a sigh. "Greatjustgreatnowwhat? Wejustwaitandwaitandwait. IfIhadknownthismissionwasgoingtobethisboringIwouldhaveoptedtohavemybreakinsteadofcominghere."
"Just relax Blur we can spend this time to put our feet up and rest for a while." Kup remarked sitting back in his seat and putting his feet up.
Ninita transformed and took a step forward, Springer transformed and landed on the ground looking on ahead as Ninita motioned ahead and she smiled. "It's this way our base and head quarters, where others like myself exist."
"Others, are they as good looking as you are my dear?" Blaster asked from inside Jazz still in his stereo form.
"Oh brother." Springer sighed.
Daniel giggled. "I think Blaster likes her."
"Well considering most of our females were wiped out in the battle with the deceptions that took Optimus' life." Jazz watched as Ninita pushed to the side a large branch and she motioned to the jungle city in front of them. The rest of them all transformed and looked towards the city.
"I don't believe it look at this place, it's so… bright." Springer shielded his optics from the reflective light of the sun bouncing off the golden-based buildings.
"It's a golden age." Arcee looked on with awe.
"Wow… look at all their transformers." Daniel looked on excitedly from Arcee's shoulder.
The group walked towards the city and Ninita waved to a transformer in a field of crops in his plow transformation.
"Ninita welcome back sis, I see you found our visitors okay?" He chuckled.
She waved her hand about. "Piece of cake Ripper."
He moved towards the main road and transformed. They looked at the bottle green and white transformed his arms full of the crop he plowed and put it in to the back of a brown pick up truck.
"Hey Speed is expecting this load in five minutes Tray, think you can do it?" Ripper asked the pick up truck.
"Since when have I let you down!" Tray laughed as he drove off.
They looked at the humans also in the fields near by harvesting large cubes of energon from the fields putting them in to the back of a large white red and blue truck.
"That's Trucker, he carries the energon to the city, it's a powerful new form of energon we're harvesting, we can touch it or it short circuits us, but Trucker can have it in the back of his second component without harming him." Ripper remarked jerking his thumb over to where Trucker was parked while the humans loaded the energon in to his cargo hold.
Ninita smiled. "As you can see we're quite peaceful race, we're happy living this way safe from Quintesson and Decepticon alike."
"So there are no Decepticons here at all?" Blaster looked at her. "Not one?"
Ripper just smirked. "Well actually they're on the other side of the planet."
"So there are some here?" Springer grinned. "Alright and I thought this was going to be a boring mission." He slammed a fist in to his other hand happily. "So when we get to kick some decepticon butt?"
Ninita looked at Springer. "They can't enter our area like we can't enter theirs, their protective barrier is a general polar opposite of ours."
"So you guys don't fight at all?" Springer looked at her.
"Not unless you're like my sister and go out to annoy them and beat them up on purpose, if we leave tem alone they leave us alone, we're quite peaceful as I said, they have their own harvesting area as well. So we stay clear of that." Ninita explained.
"Your sister huh? So she likes to kick decepticon butt, sounds like my kind of girl." Blaster smiled.
Ninita just smiled. "Well I guess so, but get to close or she'll shoot the paint right off your body."
"I'm liking her already." Springer grinned.
Ripper huffed. "Try living with her." He grumbled.
"Well follow us we'll lead you in to the city. You can use our communication system to let your autobot friends know you're okay." Ninita offered.
"If they can get it past the barrier." Ripper added.
Jazz looked at Ripper. "Barrier?" He asked.
"The barrier is the defense system that our father fields created using his life force, of course the decepticons creator did the same thus it creates the barrier round this planet, we have had plenty of races crash in to our planet and perish because they got to close to the center of the barrier where the negative and positive bounce off each other." Ripper explained.
"Like a ying yang." Daniel piped up. "This girl in my class at school her mom is Chinese an she has a ying yang tattoo on her arm, one side has the ying and the other has the yang, it looks cool, she said she wanted her body to remain completely balanced in stead of lop sided instead of favoring one side of her body over the other." He explained.
Springer just blinked. "So we can't blame this whole transmission that blew our friends ship out on them?"
"No if you are to blame anyone, we are both equally responsible for your friend's ship." Ninita remarked.
"Damnit and I wanted an excuse to kick some decepticans." Blaster added.
Ninita looked at them. "You really hate the decepticons that much?"
"Well yeah." Daniel replied. "They're evil. Especially Galvitron."
Ripper blinked. "I've never heard of this Galvitron."
The autobots all stared at their peaceful counterparts like they were crazy.
"Okay this is a nice place to visit but remind me never to live here." Springer remarked.
"I don't know I kind of like it." Arcee smiled. "It's always good to know that there are some female bots out there I can talk to."
"Well we aren't many only seven of us are female out of twenty, The decpticons have more female bots at nine out of twenty decepticons." Ninita replied.
"There's only forty transformers on this planet?" Springer looked ay Ripper.
"You got it, we used to be in the hundreds, but our planets old war we lost a lot of our creators and comrades in the war, till Field our father created the barrier with his three brothers, they sacrificed their lives so we wouldn't die. We've been living in peace since, we were only young when it happened and we didn't understand the war or the fighting but Jez she blames the decepticons for our father and uncles deaths." Ripper replied.
"I take I the great war between autobots and decepticons are still going outside of our humble livings?" Ninita asked.
Arcee nodded. "I'm afraid so, but we've reclaimed cybertron from the decepticons."
Ripper smiled. "Cybertron huh? Our father talked about it so fondly. I'd like to see it some day, if we can ever get off this planet."
"Hey man you could come back with us, even if it's just for a visit, I'm sure Rodimus Prime would like to meet you guys." Blaster smiled.
"So long as you keep that racket on the down low." Springer added.
"Field and Drag were communication bots, so it's their frequency that this planet uses to talk to any body out there." Ninita replied.
"So that's why Jazz and Blaster's systems weren't as scrambled as the rest of us." Arcee remarked.
"More than likely." Ripper replied. "C'mon we'll show you where we live."
The transformers walked in to the large golden city looking round at the almost majestic golden Aztec like buildings that surrounded them.
A stereo system near by playing out some tunes as the humans worked.
"Nice work session you can take a break in five." Ripper remarked as he walked past the stereo system.
"Alright!" The stereo cheered.
"Now that my friend is a hard working transformer." Blaster grinned as he walked past.
Ninita smiled. "We'll take you to our leader Speed now, he's a great leader, he's helped us maintain this life in peace."
Springer looked at Arcee. "I wonder what this guy's like?"
Arcee smiled at him. "I have to admit my curiosity is spiked as well."
Ripper looked to Jazz. "You've been awful quiet don't you like our city?"
Jazz looked to Ripper for a moment and he just nodded. "Oh I just like it man, but personally I just like kicking some decepticon cans, it's hard for me to believe after all this that you can even bare living on the same planet as them."
"Well I guess you have a point there." Ripper remarked. "But if we can't attack them and they can't attack us, it's became a normal living atmosphere."
"So you're not worried that they can't be trying to break past your defenses any moment now?" Daniel asked.
Ninita smiled. "There is only once entrance to the city past the barrier, and it only lets humans in and those with autobot circuits. If you had been decepticons you'd been blasted back just by the impact."
"Now theoretically speaking if a decepticon wanted to switch sides, would it still let them through?" Blaster asked Ninita.
Ninita looked at Ripper and she just smiled. "Well we would have to let them through manually then proceed to change their circuits so they would be allowed in future, which means if they did try to go back to the decepticon side, the decepticon defenses wouldn't let them through."
She stopped outside a door and Ripper knocked on it. "Hey Speed you busy, we brought the guests here."
"Bring 'em in!" A voice called through the door.
Ripper opened the door and they looked at the bride of the autobot city a black and white transformer was standing there looking over the crops that were being placed in to a storage by a group of other transformers.
"Speed, these are our new friends." Ripper remarked.
The black an white race car transformer turned round and he smiled at them. "Hey welcome to our city." He greeted. "I'm Speed."
Jazz just nodded. "I'm Jazz, this is Blaster, Arcee, Springer and our human friend Daniel."
"Hi!" Daniel waved happily to see another friendly autobot face.
Speed smiled again. "Well then, you've met Ripper, Tray and Ninita I see. This is Shields, Boater, Circuit and Bush." He motioned to the four transformers helping in the storage removing the crops from the back of Tray while he sat there parked in his pick up truck form.
Blaster nodded. "It's a nice place you got here man, we're just here on a charting mission from Rodimus Prime."
"Rodimus is our new leader after Optimus." Jazz added.
"Optimus Prime, we've heard of him, Drag and Fields used to talk about him."
Springer looked at Jazz and Blaster. "Hey you two worked with Optimus while on Cybertron, you know of those two?"
Blaster thought for a moment. "I can't say I've met them, Jazz my main man, you were Optimus right hand man, you know 'em?"
Jazz saw the others all looking at him and he smiled. "Yeah I knew 'em back on Cybertron, they were suppose to come with us to find an alliance against the decepticons but the part of the arch that they were on got hit bad, we couldn't go back for them because the decepticons had boarded us and they were lost in outer space, I guess this is where they landed."
"Jazz…" Arcee looked at him. "No wonder you've been quite they were your friends."
Jazz just smiled. "I'm sorry to hear they died to save you from decepticons, I lost a few friends in the final battle Optimus fought in, he, Wheel Jack, Rachet, Brawn, Iron hide and so many others were lost in that battle."
Speed looked at Jazz. "I appreciate your straight up honesty Jazz." He smiled and offered the autobot his hand. "If there's anything we can do to help a friend of our fathers then all you have to do is ask."
Jazz shook Speed's hand and he smiled. "We just need to be able to contact home and let them know we're okay and that's we'll start the charting mission tomorrow."
Speed nodded. "Sure we can help you out and show you around our part of the neighborhood."
Jazz smiled. "That's good."
"Besides we need to let Spike and Carlee know that Daniel is okay." Arcee added. "I'll bet they're worried sick about him."
Daniel blushed. "I just wanted to come along."
Springer smiled. "It's alright kiddo I doubt you could get in to any trouble here."
Speed chuckled. "Well follow me I'll lead you to our communication center."
"Hey can we send this report in English?" Springer asked.
Blaster laughed. "Hey Springer don't be a jack, if it's their communication center I'm sure they have more than that."
"That's our defense communication center for those we don't know, if they can break through the code like you guys did then we can trust them enough to let them land on our planet."
"Speaking of which Speed, our ship's radio is damaged and it's probably damaged too, think you or one of the autobots here can fix it?" Springer asked.
"I'll get Graphics out to haul it in and I'm sure Medic can fix it from there." Speed replied.
He lead the transformers through a door to a communication center and a transformer sitting at the main controls swiveled round in a chair. She looked at them.
"Speed there's a ship just sitting outside our communication range just waiting, they've been there for an hour so far and we can't seem to reach them."
"Punch it up on screen Brooke." Speed ordered.
She nodded and hit a switch and the ship appeared on screen.
"Hey alright it's our guys, Rodimus musta got worried when the communication broke." Blaster grinned.
"Okay can we try to get a general message towards them? In English would be nice." Springer remarked.
"Hey that might actually reach them, why didn't I think of that?" Brooke clicked her fingers.
"That my dear is because normally it's not regulations." Speed smiled. "But for our new friends we can do that."
"Right changing frequencies!" Brooke announced and began flicking several switches.
Blur looked at Kup napping in his chair and Grimlock sleeping on the ground even Wheelie was sleeping. "Idon'tbelievethishowcantheysleepatatimelikethis? Impossibleit'simpossiblecompletelyandtotally…….. impossible!" Blur blurted out.
Only a few seconds later the communicator began beeping. "Amessageamessagewehaveamessage! Waitwaitwait Ithoughtthatplanetcouldn'tcontactusbutthemessageiscomeingfmthere. Yes! Itisititsfromthere! ButhowIthoughtwewereoutofrange, atleastIthoughtwewere…"
Blur flicked the switch and he looked at the image on the screen.
"Blaster!KUPKUPKUP!It'sBlasterthey'reokaythey'reokaythey'reokay, wakeupwakeupwakeup!"
Kup stirred and looked at the hyper speed demon transformer. "Slow down kid what?"
"Heya Kup nice to see you're awake, we're alive and fine have a nice break?" Blaster smiled.
Kup smiled. "Blaster nice to see you're doing fine."
"Yeaaaahooo we're doing fine, this planet rocks I tell you! You should come on down there a nice relaxing atmosphere and no decepticons." Blaster laughed.
"Well actually technically there are decepticons but they can't touch us and we can't touch them." Springer's voice spoke from off screen."
"I don't understand…" Wheelie remarked rubbing his optics. "Where will we be able to land? What about the communication sensors they might malfunction like last time on this band."
"Idont'wannacrashI'vecrashedtoomanytimesinthepasttwentyfourhours." Blur remarked.
"Me Grimlock don't get to smash?" Grimlock as looking at the screen.
"What the hell is that thing!" A female voice asked.
"Easy gurl that's Grimlock he's a good friend of ours a dinobot." Blaster smiled.
"Grimlock not thing, Grimlock is Grimlock!" Grimlock's tiny dinobot fists pounded at his chest in emphasis.
"Uuuuuh right." They looked at the female autobot that was onscreen with Blaster.
"Hey guys meet Brooke, she's a native here, and there are other gurls like her here too, c'mon down, have a break we're gonna chart locations on this planet tomorrow, after a nice night's recharge." Blaster smiled.
"We're gonna have to contact Rodimus first and let him know." Kup replied.
"Hey that's fine you do what you gotta man, but let him know Daniel is here too he stowed aboard and we didn't find him until we landed, but he's in good hands my friend, there's an anti decepticon barrier, so no attacks from them what so ever." Blaster smiled.
"Right we can get back in contact with you on this frequency though right?" Kup asked.
"Sure can Kup, we'll be waiting." Blaster smiled.
The transmission faded out.
The transformers in the shuttle looked at each other for a moment. "What do you say about having a break on that planet you guys?" Kup asked.
"No decepticons to smash, me Grimlock want to smash!"
"AskRodimusitswhatweshoulddo." Blur remarked.
"Wheelie agrees with Blur to ask Rodimus Prime that's for sure."
Kup flicked the frequencies. "This is Kup here, come in Rodimus we've had contact from Blaster…"
Rodimus' image flicked on the screen. "You have? How are they?"
"Seems the landed damaged their communications but they've found a planet of autobots and are going to chart the planet tomorrow after a recharge." Kup explained.
"Well that's good." Rodimus nodded.
"They want us to join them there for our break, we're consulting with you first though." Kup added.
"Any decepticon activity on that planet?"
"We haven't detected any, but their is apparently a decepticon barrier round where the autobots of the planet are, so it'll be peaceful." Kup replied.
Rodimus blinked for a moment. "A decepticon barrier, that's got my interest, go in and investigate, I think we might need that sort of technology, see if you can get a copy of that for us, it might help in Cybertron's defense system against future decepticon attack."
"No smashing? Me Grimlock wanted to smash."
"Not this time Grimlock use this time to have a break I don't know go fishing or something while you're down there." Rodimus remarked.
"Me Grimlock like fishing."
"Okay you have my permission."
"Don'tforgettotellhimsaboutDanielwhostowedawayandisdowntherewiththeamatthismoment!"
Rodimus looked at Kup. "Is that true Kup?"
"Fraid so, but the kid's in good hands with a decepticon barrier round this place I don't think we have anything to worry about." Kup replied.
"I hope you're right, I'll let Spike know, just make sure he's okay." Rodimus remarked.
"Wheelie says Daniel is in good hands with these autobots from distant lands."
Rodimus looked at them. "Have a good break you guys and don't forget to stay in contact."
"We will." Kup ended the transmission and then flicked it back to the other frequency. "Blaster you there?"
Blaster's image flicked on the screen and they saw the entire communication room in the background, Jazz was talking to a male autobot they didn't recognize.
"Hey so what's the deal Kup?" Blaster asked.
"We're allowed to have our break on the planet, can you give us some landing co-ordinates?" He asked.
"Ninita do you have a landing pad in this spiffy city?" Blaster asked.
"Sure do." The dual purple and white colored female transformer walked up to the screen and she smiled at the transformers. "I'll send the co-ordinates through to your system and sorry about damaging your ship before it's a defense system."
"Hey that's no problem lass." Kup smiled.
She smiled and they watched as the co-ordinates flashed on the screen. "Welcome to our planet Belta."
"Glad to be welcomed lass." Kup smiled as her image flicked off the screen. "Blur take her down following those co-ordinates."
"Idon'tbelieveI'msdoingthis,thisisgreatjustgreat,firstwecrashthenwe'reallowedtoland,onaplanetthatcrashedusinthefirstplace!" He took the controls and flew the ship in following the co-ordinates that they were provided.
