Chapter Three

The beginning of the Beast wars Part 3

A couple of hours passed on the way to the mountain of raw Energon, The afternoon had passed while night had settled in. The Maxails were following a dirt path that led towards the mountain, while Izuku had given them directions, while also helping them avoid camping spots.

The Maximals were on a wide ledge that was in a crevasse, while the right side of the crevasse was giving a great view of the valley from a great height. Rhinox walks by Optimus.

"How, are you Feeling?" Rhinox asked Optimus in a concerned tone.

"Improved, I believe my internal repairs have been completed." Optimus said in a calm tone. Rhinox gave a nod.

"I was wondering, your flying robot from here could make it to the crystal before any of u-" Optimus cut him off while keeping his calm look.

"No, we have to stay together. The Predacons could attack at any moment and there may be other surprises on this planet." Optimus said, Rhinox looked towards the open field below them.

"There are." Rhinox told Optimus. "Down there look."

Optimus stops to see a flat green sward field is there, with what looks like a strange structure of standing stones, while in the middle of the stones were many stacked stones. There is no telling how old it is or how it got there.

Optimus looked at the stones with interest. "Hm. Unusual. Any opinions."

Rhinox glances at him and gives his thoughts.

"Just two. It isn't natural and we didn't build it, and neither did the Predacons." Rhinox then glances at Izuku who was still on Cheetor's back.

"How about we ask our guide for an answer." Rhinox told Optimus.

Optimus raises an eyebrow, but before thinking further into the situation. There was a silent buzzing noise that was getting louder by the second, Cheetor cat ears picked up the Buzzing of Waspinator coming straight toward the group. Cheetor growled, alerting the others.

"Rrrowl! Head up!" Cheetor yelled to the group, Cheetor ran towards a large rock.

"Izuku take cover now." Optimus yelled to the teen. Izuku jumped off Cheetor's back and ran for cover behind some rocks on the path. Waspinator and Terrorsaur are barreling out of the sky.

"Waspinator! Terrorize!"

"Terrorsaur Terrorize!"

The two then transformed into their robot modes in the air, then flew towards them bristling with their weapons. The others transformed as well, readying their weapons.

"Everyone in defensive positions" Optimus yelled, Rattrap pointed his laser gun at Dinobot.

"What about him?!" Rattrap asked Optimus.

Optimus furrowed his brow and shook his head.

"He with us, now contrast fire on the flyers." Optimus command.

The two flying Predacons dove from the sky, blasting at the group below. While Lazer and orbs of energy hammer at our heroes. The Maximals returned fire. Optimus then noticed that the rocky cover above them, with many stalagmites hanging over the group, was shaking due to the gunfighting. Izuku also noticed while looking behind his cover.

"Everyone you have to hold your fire, you might cause the crease to cave in!" Izuku screamed.

"Hold your fire! Izuku right, we could start an avalanche!" Optimus yelled.

You crossed yer wires!? They're comin' back!" Rattrap argues. Sure enough, Waspinator and Terrorsaur are maneuvering around and banking for another pass. Optimus straightens himself out and looks towards the group.

"I'll handle this." Optimus calls to the group.

Two silver jets came from his back and with a mighty bang, he launched himself into the air. Izuku went wide-eyed and never knew Optimus could fly. The Maximals also could see that the two Predacons weren't looking so good, as sparks and short sporadic movements came from their bodies.

Izuku realized they must have been out for too long, suffering from an Energon exposure. Optimus sees this too and takes the moment to strike. He fires two forearm missiles at the two.

The missiles explode beside the Two Preadcons and both veer off, trailing sparks and Energon. Dinobot sees them fleeing away and takes this as an opportunity to attack.

"Now while they are weak!" Dinobot yells.

His eyes start to glow green and fire laser blasts from his eyes. But due to his targets moving, Dinobot's eye blast strikes the edge of the crevice. The Maximals felt the ground shake. A huge chunk of loose stone drops from the rock ceiling.

Izuku looked up to see the giant stone was going to land on him before anyone could think. Rattrap pulls Izuku out of the way of the giant stone before it could crush him. The two barely get out of the way as the giant husk of stone crashes where they were. Rattrap helps Izuku up as they both get off the ground. Izuku was still a little shaken but was fine.

"You okay kid?" Rattrap asks in a worried tone. Izuku took some deep breaths.

"I'm fine, thank you Rattrap." Izuku said, but Rattrap could still see he was shaken from almost being crushed by a rock.

Rattrap, now seeing Dinobot was near him, reacts furiously.

"I knew it, ya traitor!, Ya tried to scrap Izuku." Rattrap yells at Dinobot.

He sweeps Dinobot's feet from beneath him with the butt of his fusion rifle. While he steps on his chest pushing him down harder on the ground. Everyone had a surprised look but did nothing. As Dinobot Crashes to the stone floor, Rattrap Jacks his fusion rifle into Dinobots face. Rattrap then had a look of anger.

"Once a pred, always a pred." He growled in anger. Izuku ran towards the two and put himself between them.

"Rattrap it fine, it was just an accident, please don't shoot him." Izuku tried to plead.

"That accident almost killed you!" Rattrap retoured, still his gun to Dinobot. Optimus lands beside them.

"Ease off Rattrap! It was an accident!" Optimus said, trying to defuse the situation.

"Sez you!" Rattrap snorted, Izuku saw Optimus meeting Rattrap eye to eye. Optimus had an icy stare that would make anyone stop in their tracks.

"That's right. Sez me. You want to question my orders one more time?" Optimus says in a threatening tone, with an unflinching look on his face. They eye each other, and Rattrap subsides

"I aah…" Rattrap pointed his gun away from Dinobot.

"I don't trust Predacons." Rattrap sully walks away from the downed Dinobot. Rattrap steps off Dinobot's chest. Dinobot gets up very begrudgingly and stares down Rattrap as he towered over him. Optimus then looks at the group.

"We've got enough trouble with Megatron's crew without fighting among ourselves." Optimus says, looking at the group.

"Now Come On!" Optimus Yells to the group transforming, the rest do the same. Izuku jumped on Cheetor's back while the group rode towards the mountain.

Meanwhile Megatron.

Some of the Predacons were together in their breast forms on another path to find the mountain full of Energon. They almost reached their location but the group stopped when Waspinator and Terrorsaur flew overhead and landed at the front of the group.

The two mostly looked scared at their leader. But Terrosaur opened his mouth to say something.

"We fail-" Terrorsaur tried to say before Megatron cut him off.

"Let me guess you failed? Hmmm well, no matter." Megatron said as he turned his gaze to the mountain.

"So much Energon! Yesss. I can almost taste its power!" Megatron says gawking at the ultimate power source.

Tarantulas click his mandibles in worry. As he looked at the mountain full of Energon.

"The Energon fields would destroy us as robots in less than a minute. We will have to stay in Beast form." Tarantulas then point in the direction where the flyers came.

"And Optimus and the Maximals are coming and don't forget that little alien that's with them." Tarantulas stated. Megatron looked smug and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"They must stay in Beast form as well and I will handle Optimus Personally. As for that little alien, it's nothing to worry about, because he'll be joining Maximal's doomed fate as well." Megatron smiled with a devilish smirk.

Back with the Maximals.

The Group finally made it to the top of the mountain to find many strange and beautiful crystals, of various sizes around the rocky terrain. Izuku couldn't believe what he was looking at; it was so otherworldly. Izuku tapped Cheetor back getting his attention.

"Cheetor, how powerful is this Energon?" Izuku asked in a curious tone.

"Oh, it's kind of like super fuel in a way." Cheetor said in a light-hearted tone. Izuku felt the answer wasn't the best but was glad for something.

"That's putting it lightly," Dinobot said as he walked up to them. Izuku felt intimidated when Dinobot was in his presence, maybe it was the raptor form or his gruff voice, but he was scary. Dinobot looked toward Izuku while walking beside them.

"Energon yes is used for fuel but it can be used for ammunition, power spaceships, and destroy planets." Dinobot stated.

"DESTROY PLANETS!" Izuku panicked at the idea.

"But you would need a lot more than this to blow up a planet, Don't worry Izuku we won't let that happen." Cheetor quickly chimed in, but Izuku calmed down a bit from Cheetor's bashful hope.

"Yes and don't forget this stuff is explosive, so no weapons got it." Optimus yelled to the group.

Izuku's face changed from panic to thinking. After that Izuku's brain went into overdrive by thinking of the ways Energon could be used to help others, while also avoiding triggering the Energon from exploding, but as Izuku thought of helping the Maximals, painful thoughts of failure clouded his mind. Taking deep breaths to calm his fast-beating heart.

"Oh god keep calm, keep calm, keep calm, you almost died from a rock what a useful friend." Izuku thought in his mind, Izuku tried to hide his stress with a forced slime. His hair shades over his eyes while sweating in panic.

"Keep calm, you're useful, you're useful." Izuku repeated in his mind. "Don't fail them, Don't be a Deku, Don't be a Deku, Don't be a Deku, Don't be a du-."

"Okay, Maximals were here." Optimus announced to the Group. Everyone could see an open level area of rock before them where the rubble of blasted stone had fallen away, to see a massive field of Energon. There were crackling and snapping sounds through the air like a storm was brewing in the area.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." Izuku said as watched the glowing crystals. The more Izuku looked at the crystal it gave him an odd feeling of warmth. Izuku got off Cheetor and started to walk towards one of the giant crystals, he reached his hand to touch it. Cheetor then nudged his back with his head before he could touch it.

"We can sightsee later, be on guard okay buddy." Cheetor said in a calm voice. Optimus also noticed the strange trance Izuku showed when looking at the Energon, but had to put it aside for now. Since the maximals were here, Optimus knew he had to destroy these crystals before Megatron could get his hands on them.

Before anyone could take another step to explore, A mighty roar that sounded like a mix between a man and beast echoed through the mountain. Then more sounds of clicking, Buzzing, and loud thuds started to get louder.

The Predacons were on the other side of the open Energon with Megatron at the front of the pack. Izuku quickly moved behind the Maximals. There they were the Maximals on the right side and the Predacons on the left. While Optimus and Megatron have one of the most intense stares down in the history of this planet.

"Across the galaxy, it has come to this Optimus primal. Face-to-face tooth to claw. Yesss. Have you anything to say?" Megatron snarls at Optimus. With a grim look in his eye Optimus speaks in a tough tone.

"I'd say that's prime. Let's do this."

The two forces let out mighty Battle cries and charged at each other and crashed together.

Optimus grapples Megatron's head as Rhinox Tries to slam into Terrasaur, but Terrasur flies by above him. Dinobot tries to bite Scorponok but he slams his claw into Dinobot's head. Rattrap jumps onto Tarantulas and pulls on his mandibles making the spider scream in pain.

Waspinator flies over the fight to try and find an easy target and he does. The Waspinator sees Izuku hiding behind a large piece of rubble.

"If Waspinator kills you, Megatron is happy!" He says to himself, Waspinator charges at the teen full force, Izuku turns to see the green bot flying at him.

"Waspinator will kill you." Waspinator said in joy, but before he could Cheetor leaped from the ground and tackled the wasp to the ground.

"Not on my watch." Cheetor turned towards Izuku while holding down Waspinator.

"IZUKU RUN!" Cheetor yelled to his friend. Izuku bolted towards the opening of the mountain, to the right side before he could leave he stopped. Izuku turned around to see how his friends were holding up in the fight.

Optimus was struggling against Megatron's jaws trying to clamp down on him, But Optimus had his powerful gorilla hands clamped on top and bottom jaw.

"Admit Defeat, Maximal! The Energon shall be ours!" Megatron said through his teeth before roaring.

"Not if I can help it!" Optimus said in a straining yell.

With a massive heave, he hurls Megatron headlong on a pair of massive stones learning together to form a triangular space between them. Megatron's massive T-Rex head smashes into the space and wedges there where his neck is caught. He roars in fury. Optimus wobbles up slowly.

"Surrender, Megatron! You're trapped." Optimus yells hoping that was enough.

"No! You shall not defeat me!" Megatron yells from his rock trap.

With a powerful Heave, he smashes upward through the rocks and whirls around, launching himself at Optimus in a blink of an eye. Megatron crashes into Optimus with his massive T-rex jaws slavering. Optimus is smashed into a stone wall making a crater in the wall. Megatron bites down on Optimus' leg stabbing him with rows of razor-sharp teeth. Izuku froze at that site. Optimus yelled in pain. There was a pause from the other combatants as they paused their battle to watch Optimus and Megatron. The Trex bite was so strong Optimus could do nothing in the t rex's iron-tight clamps.

"Optimus No." Izuku mutters, Ran towards the two, as Megatron digs his teeth into Optimus' leg. while Izuku is trying to think of something.

"How do I stop an Egomaniac Trex- Wait a sec that's it!" Izuku ran toward the two and stopped a good couple of feet behind Megatron. Izuku had plans and he needed this to work to free Primal.

"HEY MEGADORK LEAVE HIM ALONE." Izuku screamed at Megatron, everyone stopped and looked at Izuku like he had a death wish. Megatron, still trying to bite off Optimus' leg, growled through his teeth.

"I'll get to you soon enough, wait your turn." Megatron snarled. Optimus tried to speak but Megatron's bite was too strong and the pain was the only thing that came from his mouth.

"OH YAY LIKE HOW YOU COULDN'T EVEN GET THE RIGHT PLANET, YOU IDIOT." Izuku screamed at Megatron. Though everyone was fighting they could hear Izuku's words and one everyone knew was a bad burn.

"Shut up you stupid alien." grumbled Megatron, still biting Optimus' leg, Then Optimus started to notice Megatron's grip loosened a tiny bit, and that's when he realized what Izuku was doing. He knew Megatron had a serious ego problem and Izuku was using it against Megatron. Optimus held a smirk.

"THAT'S RIGHT I'M A STUPID LITTLE ALIEN THAT YOU CAN'T KILL! YOU HAVE TO BE THE WORST PREDACON EVER!" Izuku was throwing everything he had, but he could see the anger in Megatron, though he wasn't looking at him he could see the Trex was shaking with rage and it looked like Izuku needed one more push to set him off. Izuku did feel a little bad for the insults but he needed Megatron's attention.

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MEGATRON! YOU ARE THE BIGGEST JOKE IN THE UNIVERSE! YOU PIECE OF SCRAP METAL! MEGATRON NOT EVEN YOUR REAL NAME I BET! WHY SHOULD ANYONE BE AFRAID OF YOU WHEN YOU SOUND SO STUPID? SO WHY DON'T YOU DO EVERYONE A FAVOR AND JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTH, BECAUSE ALL YOU SPEAK IS STUPID, YOU CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING RIGHT, YOU BIG, STUPID, SMALL MIND, COWARD!" He shouted as it echoed through the area. Everyone stops fighting again to look at Izuku with gaping mouths and wide eyes, as an uncomfortable silence settles in.

"He's gonna die." Rattrap stated.

Megatron was so angry he let go of Optimus ' leg and immediately turned around to face Izuku to find him having a forced smile on his face. This alone made him more furious. Megatron, leader of the Predacons getting talked down by a little insignificant ant while smiling at his expanse like he was a joke.

"I'LL DESTROY YOU!" Megatron Roared and charged at him at a blind fast speed, Megatron leaped at Izuku, but before he could reach him he was halted, by something holding his tail. Megatron turned around to see Optiums smiling, holding his tail. With all his tremendous ape strength, Optimus stops Megatron dead in his tracks.

Optimus was not giving up not by a long shot. He used all the strength in his body to rip Megatron from the ground and swings him around by the tail, Optimus spun Megatron in circles building up force. Izuku ran out of the way so he wouldn't get hit but never took his eyes off Optimus.

Despite his injured leg, Optimus swings Megatron by the tail and hurls him at the stone floor with great force, slamming Megatron into the ground making a huge crater nailing the Dinosaur in the ground. Izuku felt like he watched the first time All-might saved people, though instead of All-might it was Optimus. Izuku could only think one thing from that moment, Optimus primal is here.

"It's over Megatron." Optimus says as he falls holding his injured leg, gasping for breath. Izuku ran towards his side.

"Optimus." Izuku calls to check on his friend.

"I'll be fine Izuku." he nods to Izuku.

"IT IS NEVER OVER! NOO!"

The two turn towards Megatron who was transformed into his robot form, already he was short-circuiting, popping sparks and blue energy invading his body from how close he was to the Energon. Megatron had a look of bloody murder on his face, which was pointed right at Izuku.

"For if I must die I shall take you with me." Megatron Said in a grim voice. Megatron raises his Trex head and shoots a Missile at the two. Optimus pushes Izuku out of the way, but due to his injured leg isn't able to move out of the missile's path. Optimus could only react and then….

Dinobot leaps in the way, knocking the missile with his tail to one side completely avoiding Optimus.

The missile hits the base of the giant Energon crystal, the crystal begins to crack wildly as the Energon starts shaking. Then the whole mountain began to shake. Everyone's eyes shrank in horror.

"It's gonna blow!" Rhinox yells in panic.

"Time to fade heroes!" Cheetor Yelled.

The Maximals race towards the right side of the open area. Rattrap rides Rhinox back as he pulls the injured Optimus aboard Rhinox while Cheetor throws Izuku onto his back. Izuku yelped but held tight to Cheetor's back.

The Predacons left, even abounding their leader Megatron and raced off in the opposite direction of the Maximals. Megatron lying on the ground alone and injured. Then Megatron gets up like he was shocked back to life.

"NOOOOOO!" Megatron screams as he runs off the edge of the cliff and jumps off it.

Meanwhile with the Maximals.

The Maximals kept running from the shaking mountain down the large rocky path, Izuku realized how fast the Maximals were running, unlike their animal counterparts they were running five times faster, at alarming speeds.

But everything stopped. Izuku looked to see if the group had stopped. They were a great distance away from the Mountain. Izuku couldn't believe how fast they moved from the Mountain. Everyone started to catch their breath. Before anyone could say a word, The earth started to shake and rumble.

Everyone hid behind a tall outcropping of stone as they watched the spectacle in front of them.

All eyes were on the Mountain as everyone, The Energon erupts spectacularly from their distance, as they watched the destruction. Then a great big explosion happened. The explosion har sparked a rainbow of colors out. A beam of pure energy shout from the cracks of the mountain and a giant pulse wave shoots into the air destroying the mountain.

The last few fragments of loose stone rattle around them as they shield their heads. But Izuku didn't realize everyone was surrounding him and shielding him as well. Optimus felt the force of the explosions hit them but every Maximal stayed grounded and refused to not stop protecting Izuku.

The massive force of air lasted for minutes but none of them moved a single muscle or hesitated in their action. After what felt like hours, everyone felt the force dissipate. Optimus lowers his shielding arm as the dust could subsist, He looks at the mountain. With a deep sigh, he knew that this was a victory, and well fought one at that.

The battle is over and now it is time for rest. Izuku took a deep breath sitting on the hard ground. Optimus looks at his crew in joy and the new allies that joined the battle for their sake. Optimus walks over to Izuku and Dinobot seeing how they are sitting near each other.

"Thank you." Optimus says to both Izuku and Dinobot.

"My action did not imply loyalty, Optimus I owed you my life. Now we are merely even." Dinobot said respectfully. Izuku knew Dinobot was a good person even without the excuse.

"I'll accept that." Optimus nods to Dinobot.

"But if you want to look at one whose action does imply loyalty, look to him." Dinobot says with a smirk nodding toward Izuku. Optimus sits next to Izuku. The teen looks up to see Optimus smiling at him with a kind grin. Izuku is a little nervous because he broke Optimus' agreement about staying away from danger. Izuku looked sad holding his head down on the ground, Optimus wanted to know why.

"Izuku?." he asked.

"Sorry I didn't hide. " Izuku muttered in a sad tone of voice, Optimus was surprised that was the last thing on his mind after the fight.

"Thank you Izuku, you saved my life." Optimus says in a grateful tone of voice. Izuku turned towards Optimus and was confused as he had a happy look on his face.

"Most of all you helped us even though we were strangers. I don't know that many beings who would do that without hesitation, but thank you, you're a true hero." He said to Izuku.

"Yay I mean you looked so cool when you saved me, You're one heck of a hero!" Cheetor said.

"I don't mean this lightly but you are one tough guy." Rhionx told Izuku. Rattrap patted Izuku on the back with a happy rat grin.

"You sure know how to sling some insult kid, just be careful who ya sling 'em at. But the look on Megadrok's face was priceless, keep up the good work." Rattrap said, patting his back.

"If you ever need some tips on fighting dirty? I'm the guy to talk to." Rattrap told Izuku, only making the teen happier. Izuku didn't know what to say for once in his life these Robo- No these people, gave him gratitude, fellowship, friendship, and the most important feeling of hope. That hope made him feel warm and strong as a spark was lit in him. That spark is kindling a new flame in Izuku. Trying to hold back his tears as his eyes welled up.

"Your bravery is something that must not be wasted." Dinobot said in a strong voice. Dinobot looked towards Izuku

"Thank you, no matter what danger I will always be at your side to save you." Izuku said in a hopeful tone of voice. That comment gave the Maximals a feeling of peace though they are on this alien world stranded, but not alone. Rattrap sighed in relief.

"Yeah well, at least Megatron's gone and so's the Energon. It's over! Can we go home now? He asked in a tired tone.

Optimus looks towards the destroyed mountain.

"No Rattrap for now we're stranded here with the Predacons, on this planet. Megatron may be back and there is still more Energon. If they ever get enough Energon they could conquer the Galaxy." Optimus said, looking at the landscape ahead.

"So for now, let the battle be here. In this strange world and let it be called BEAST WARS!" Optimus roared.

Optimus faced the group and looked at Izuku then transformed into his robot form, even with his injured leg, he walked toward Izuku. The giant robot then stands straight and salutes Izuku.

"Izuku Midoriya after seeing your capacity for compassion, wisdom, courage, love, honor, and truth, I ask you one thing?" Optimus asked in a militaristic way.

Izuku was stricken by intimidation but stayed his ground not knowing what he was going to ask. What was Optimus planning?

"Will you aid us in these trying times, will you be our guide to this world?" Optimus asked Izuku.

"Yes of course." he said.

"Will you stand against the Predacons and all evil acts?" Optimus asked again.

"Yes." Izuku told Optimus.

Optimus Primal smiled with a happy grin, and all the Maximals started to transform into their robot modes. All of them stood tall and gave a salute.

"Izuku Midoriya, as captain of the Axlon and leader of this expedition with the command invested in me, I Optimus Primal declare Izuku Midoriya to be honorary Maximal."

Izuku was truly speechless and looked at Optimus with true awe in his eyes. Izuku couldn't believe what he was hearing, for so long he was rejected by others for what he lacked, looked down on him, mocked him, and crushed his dreams. He felt like no one on earth ever cared about one quirkless child, but at this exact moment he was accepted by others that truly respected him and they truly saw him for what he is: a hero with a dream. Optimus looked at Izuku as an equal.

"Do you accept this honor?" He asked.

"Yes." he said in a happy whisper.

Optimus stopped saluting, the other did the same. With one final gaze showing true general happiness the leader kneeled humbly and spoke in a soft tender voice.

"Then welcome to the Maximals." Optimus said.

"We could use someone like you in the Beast wars, I'll say this one more time in the name of prime." Izuku slowly heard the next set of words truly reach his heart more than anything he ever could have hoped to hear.

"You're a hero." Optimus told.

The leader of the Maximals looked towards Izuku only to see him slowly hold his chest, as tears poured from his eyes, he tried to hold back a whale of joy but failed as a gasp would come from his mouth. Izuku couldn't hold it in anymore as the emotions he was feeling were too much, for so many years he kept his feelings locked up. Every Maximal backpedal a bit from Izuku's reaction. Optimus went into panic mode and with his giant hands gently held Izuku up.

''Oh no, did I offend him, is there a strange alien custom i didn't know about?" Optimus thought in his mind.

All the Maximals saw Izuku looking up at them with a joyful look. Izuku saw the worried looks in their eyes and held himself up.

"I'm sorry it's just I've had a dream for so long. A dream to be a hero that always makes others smile." Izuku said in a happy voice.

The Maximals had understood why he had cried. They all learned that this was his dream, his calling. Optimus felt more respect for the young man and smiled. Izuku may have been small, but the Maximals felt like they were looking at their own kind.

"Then those were tears of joy." Dinobot pointed out. Izuku nodded his head, and Optimus looked towards the destroyed mountain again.

"Izuku we gotta get you home." Optimus said to the teen.

Izuku looked towards the mountain and realized a hero would show up soon or later. Cheetor happily transforms into cheetah form.

"I got this boss bot." Cheetor said, offering to take him home. Optimus held out his hand stopping Cheetor in his tracks.

"No Cheetor, you in the others go to the ship and turn on the stealth mode, we did enough damage to this planet." Optimus command.

"We can't just leave Izuku alone by himself." Cheetor said. "What if the Preds come back."

"He's not going alone, I'm coming with him." Optimus said in a calm tone. Izuku's ears perked up at Optimus' command.

"All right put guy stay safe Okay big bot." Cheetor said in defeat.

Optimus nodded and looked towards Izuku. Soon all the Maximals transformed into their beast mode and ran toward their ship. With them on their way Optimus nodded and looked towards Izuku, with him in his robot form Optimus kneeled and put his hand out towards Izuku.

Izuku looks towards Optimus with a confused look but still moves towards Optimus.

"Get on my back." Optimus said.

Izuku stood on his giant metal hand, as Optimus gently lifted him to his shoulder. Izuku got off and held tight to Optimus' neck so that he wouldn't fall off the giant shoulder.

"Optimus what are you-." Izuku tried to ask but was cut off as two compartments opened from the bottom of his back. Izuku then Realized what was happening Optimus was going to fly him home.

"Hold on tight." Optimus said in a happy tone.

Izuku held Optimus' neck tight and as the Robot felt his grip around his neck, Optimus blasted off into the sky like a shooting rocket, while Izuku closes his eyes so the force of the air wouldn't hurt his eyes.

As Izuku felt the force hitting him turn into a gentle breeze, as he slowly opened an eye, he could see the ground below him while Optimus was soaring high in the sky. Passing the Rocky Mountains and plain fields. Izuku took the site in. while not the first time being in the air, he sure could enjoy it this time. As he watched the sunset, the clouds looked so big and fluffy as the color of the sky made a beautifully warm-colored horizon.

Optimus looked at his surroundings with awe, everything to him was alien but in a beautiful way. While his home world was a technological marvel, it does lack a living touch. Optimus wanted to study and categorize such beauty. Optimus looked at everything with a determined shine in his eyes.

"So you are enjoying the ride." Optimus asked Izuku.

"This is amazing." Izuku said in a happy tone.

Optimus looked close seeing some structures ahead of them, with a guessing choice he asked if this was Izuku's home.

"Is this your home Izuku?" Optimus asked.

Izuku looked at the town of Kurasshurando with a big smile.

"Yes, that's my town, Optimus." Izuku answered in a joyful tone.

Optimus looked towards the forest near the town, llanding out of site, Optimus landed at the path Izuku took when he took his walk. With Izuku still on his neck Optimus reached towards Izuku with an open palm. Izuku let go of the giant's neck to stand on his open hand.

"This is how far I can take you, without being spotted." Optimus said.

"That's alright, we're pretty close to my house even from here." Izuku told Optimus to make sure the leader of the maximals did a good job. Optimus then gently put Izuku down on the ground. Izuku looked up to Optimus with a thankful look. He bowed to Optimus.

"Thank you, Optimus primal." Izuku said, Optimus then looked towards Izuku with a smile.

"Izuku I can't thank you enough for everything you've done today."

Optimus transformed into his ape form. Izuku looked at Optimus with a confused look. He pulled something from his back and gave it to Izuku. Izuku held out his hand to find a red metal Maximal symbol that was the size of his phone.

Izuku had a soft smile from the gift, he gave his attention to the prime with a happy bow.

"That is a communication device for a mini-con, it is perfect for your size." Optimus jest. Izuku looked so happy to finally be a part of something to help people and maybe even save the day, but most of all he could finally help others.

"I can tell this is very big for you, but I think there might be something else that you didn't tell us, Something personal." Optimus said in a sad voice. "But can you tell us when you're ready?"

Izuku's gaze was fixed on Optimus. Izuku had to tell the maximals about his world everything mattered, but that could wait right now the Maximals needed to hide for now.

Izuku nodded towards Optimus, giving him a deep thankful bow, with which Izuku ran towards his house. The once quirkless child was filled with so much determination that if one were to look at his eyes you could feel a bright glow of hope from them.

He Sprinted towards his house ignoring the people that walked by in the neighborhood, as he ran past blocks Izuku could see his small two-story house. When he got close to the door it was flung open by his mother. Izuku was so happy to see her after this crazy day. Inko had a very worried look on her but was washed away in an instant when she saw her son again.

"Izuku are you alright!" Inko cried in a worried tone as tears poured out of her eyes.

Inko then took notice in Izuku state he was covered in cuts, scarps, dirt, and what look like singed burnt marks on his clothes.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

Izuku realized his current state, cursing himself for not thinking of a cover story for himself.

"Umm, you see I-I was." Izuku tried to think of something but gosh he was a terrible liar. Then an idea came to his mind: maybe he could twist the truth.

"Izuku what happened?" Inko asked in a more soft tone of voice with a hint of seriousness.

"Well I went for a walk and I met some nice people and we walked around town." Izuku told his lie in a happy tone of voice. "And you see I made friends today, they're new to town so when the earthquake happened I couldn't leave them alone ."

Inko paused for a moment slowly taking some deep breaths. She had a long pause and a smile on her face.

"Of course, you couldn't." She said while taking a calm exhale, Inko gave Izuku a big hug which Izuku gladly hugged back.

"I'm just happy my baby is safe." Inko cired in Izuku's shoulder. As the two shared their family hug Izuku. With a big sigh of relief, Izuku let go of his mother.

"Don't worry mom, things are going to be alright, I think I'm starting to like it here." He said, looking at the town ahead.

"Well you better stay home there was an earthquake and a blackout today Izuku." Inko told her son. Izuku gladly walked into his home, after a couple more swift talks with his mom, night had finally set in and the power had come back on.

Izuku ran towards his room and collapsed on his bed with a deep long sigh. He reminisced on the time that he experienced today. It was crazy, dangerous, and stupid, but isn't a hero supposed to do things like that? Izuku had to help others and the Maximals were lost.

Izuku jolted up in post haste to look in one of his boxes, pulling out a blank notebook, Izuku began writing on the cover, he wrote down 'Cybertronian analyze: Book 1' Izuku started to remember every part of his day, zoning it down to the smallest detail.

"Optimus, I promise to be the best maximal." He muttered to himself. Izuku sighed and worked on the book throughout the night.
