Hello, bots and cons. Centurion here and at last, welcome back to Dustformers: Season 2. I took a long break from Dustformers in general and I deeply apologize, but I have returned to it. Anyway, in the last chapter, Ruby and Yang meet Helia in their dreams, General Faust tells General Ironwood that Project: Cyber Warrior isn't finished just because Dr. Lucas Clovis went AWOL, Winter, Dr. Clovis and the others have begun working on a new project and working to form a new organization, and Warpath has landed on Remnant. Who knows what will occur from this point forward.

These people give me ideas for chapters I work on and for future ideas and for that, I deeply thank them. I hope for their continued support. I have a new contributor: Nitro zeus. Thank you for the newest OC. I promise I will use it in the story.

Without further ado, let's jump back into the action!

*Vale. Arc Residence. Jaune's Room. 20:12 pm*

Jaune was actually feeling bad over what he said to Winter the other day. Suddenly, Weiss walked into his room. She was visiting him to check on him. She was the most concerned about him right now since he spoke to his sister, showing his slight distaste of her. "What are you thinking about?" Weiss asked.

"That I should apologize to Winter about what I said." Jaune answered with his head hung low. "I went a little far."

"Yes, you did. We're all still very worried about you, Jaune." Weiss reminded. "We all know you now have some animosity for my home's military and rightfully so, but my sister was just following orders at the time. Please don't take out your frustrations out on her or the soldiers that followed her anymore. Please."

Jaune saw the almost distraught look on Weiss's face and hugged her and she returned the gesture. "I'm sorry, Weiss. I'm so sorry. I just… I don't know what to do without Bumblebee." Jaune was openly crying at this point to the point of hiccuping a bit. "H-He was my very best friend from another world and he was killed just like that."

Weiss tightened her hug on Jaune. "I know. We all miss him. Take your frustrations out in battle against the Decepticons instead of us from now on."

"I-I can at least try that. I also have to get stronger so that doesn't happen ever again." Jaune gained a look of determination as he softly broke off the hug and walked back to his journal. Weiss sighed softly and walked out of his room.

*Vale. Vale Forest Outskirts. 21:21 pm*

A small plume of fire and smoke was just above the treeline. A robot about Bumblebee's size, but with a green and black color scheme crawled out of the newly formed crater. The robot then transformed into a 2000 Suzuki Ignis getting onto a road. "Finally, I've made it to Remnant. Now, to find Bumblebee."

*Vale. 5 Feet Outside Rose-Xiao Long-Branwen Residence. 21:30 pm*

Ruby and Hightrail were sitting in the backyard of the house, just staring at the clear night sky. "Which one of these stars do you think is Cybertron?" Ruby asked softly.

"I wouldn't know since I wasn't born on Cybertron, but I really want to see it for the first time." Hightrail admitted. "How are you doing, Ruby?"

"I'm doing okay, Hightrail. Thank you for asking." Ruby sported a small smile. "As always, I'm more worried about Jaune, especially since his last interaction with Winter and the others."

"Ah, I heard about those from Pursuit. He has to move on from Bumblebee's death. He can't let it consume him. If he does, he'll go down a very dark path. Thankfully, we're all there to help him return to who he truly is." Hightrail mused.

Ruby was once again floored by what Hightrail said. "Wow, Hightrail. Very nice and somewhat philosophical for you to say."

"W-Well, I-I try." Hightrail cutely stuttered.

"I wonder if there will be any new Autobots coming to Remnant. We need the advantage seeing as the Decepticons now have the Commandos." Ruby brought up.

"I agree with you there, Rubes." Yang said walking up to the two.

"Hey, Yang." Ruby and Hightrail waved.

"We need more Autobots. The only ones I can think of that are on Remnant right now are the Dinobots." Yang pondered.

"Are you kidding, Yang?!" Hightrail exclaimed. "Those six are out of control! Loose cannons!"

"Well, the ones called Swoop and Slash seem okay. I think it's mostly Grimlock." Ruby put her hand to her chin. "I may not be Cybertronian, but I can tell when one's angry. With Grimlock, anger seems to come off him in waves."

"You sure about that, Rubes?" Yang asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm actually pretty sure. No other Autobots are that angry. If they do get that angry, it's only either in battle or for a few minutes. Plus, Jaune's been getting angrier and angrier with specific things." Ruby explained.

"True that." Yang sighed. "Maybe the Dinobots can be contacted as a last resort, but they kind of scare me."

"We may not have a choice." Ruby retorted softly.

*Cybertron. Straxus's Fortress. Unknown Time*

"Tsunami, Deadfire, how is the project coming along?" Straxus asked walking into view.

"It is proceeding on schedule, Lord Straxus." Deadfire bowed.

"Excellent, you two." Straxus complimented. "On another note, have the Autobots that attacked this fortress been found?"

"They've unfortunately managed to continue eluding us, my lord." Tsunami admitted. "However, Novawing is about to return with his report."

Just after Tsunami said that, a red-orange and black Cybertronian Bomber showed up on the flight deck, transformed to robot mode, and teleported to where the trio was. "Tsunami informed me that you have a report to make." Straxus commented.

"I did manage to find a couple of those damn Autobots near the Sea of Rust." Novawing reported. "This means their base must be nearby."

"If that is the case, we shall send out a small, but powerful attack force to the Sea of Rust. We still need to defend Darkmount." Straxus reminded.

*Remnant. Vale. Vale City. 9:11 am*

Jaune was walking down a street when the green and black Autobot was watching him, waiting for him to be more secluded. "Come on, kid."

A little while later, Jaune was walking down an alleyway which was empty. That's when the Autobot made it's move. "Hey, kid. I can tell you've been with other Autobots. I'd rather have you not scream out loud."

"Who are you?" Jaune asked cautiously.

"I'm Wasp. Bumblebee's brother." Wasp introduced himself.

"Bumblebee never told me he had a brother." Jaune was a little wide-eyed after Wasp's introduction. "However, seeing as how you've taken the exact same alternate form, I guess it's true."

"Now, where is Bumblebee?" Wasp just got right to the point.

Jaune paused for a minute before tearing up yet again. This was still a very hard subject for him. "I am so fricking sorry, Wasp. Bumblebee was killed by Megatron months ago."

"What?" Wasp asked quietly. "Oh, Primus..."

"I'm so sorry. I-I tried to save him... It's all my fault..." Jaune suddenly started running back to his home.

"Wait! Kid!" Wasp shouted despite being in vehicle mode. He had to follow Jaune.

*Vale. Vale City. Arc Residence. 10:01 am*

By the time Jaune made it back, Wasp was already there waiting for him. "You don't know where I live! How did you get here before me?!"

"I followed you and then sped ahead of you." Wasp answered in a deadpan tone.

Jaune sighed. "Of course you did."

"Now, kid..." Wasp was interrupted by Jaune.

"Jaune. My name is Jaune Arc." Jaune cut off.

"Okay, Jaune. I was going to say that Bumblebee knew he would die someday. Every Autobot's integrated that into their cranial chamber since the war broke out millions of stellar cycles ago." Wasp explained. "Yes, it's a very saddening thing, but you can't let it consume you. Bumblebee would want you to move on and find your happiness, wherever that might be."

Jaune was listening to what Wasp was saying. He know the green and black Autobot was right in every sense, but why was he listening now when his friends were saying practically the same things? "Maybe because this was Bumblebee's brother saying it. "I know what you're saying, Wasp. My friends have been saying the exact same thing."

"Then why is it taking me to get through to you?" Wasp asked.

"Maybe because you're Bumblebee's brother talking to me." Jaune shrugged.

"Fair. Still, I hope you're actually listening to me right now." Wasp stated plainly. "I really hope you are. Now, can you show me where I can find any other Autobots?"

Suddenly, a portal opened up and Ironhide, Wheeljack, and Elita-1 stepped through it. "Look no farther, Wasp." Wheeljack smiled underneath his faceplate.

"Incredible!" Wasp cheered. "How many other Autobots are on this planet?!"

"Come with us and find out." Elita-1 smiled. Wasp transformed into robot mode and walked through the portal with the other three. Seeing the four Autobots happy made Jaune sport a small smile. His friends and Wasp were right. He had to begin moving on from Bumblebee's death and he had to make things right with specific people.

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Dustformers: Season 2. We take yet another visit to Cybertron and see a new member of Straxus's forces: Novawing, the Autobot Wasp has arrived on Remnant and has learned of Bumblebee's death at the hands of Megatron, Weiss and Jaune have a heartfelt moment, and Ruby, Hightrail, and Yang discuss needing more Autobots, contemplating the Dinobots.

Yang and Hightrail have every right to be a little skeptical to what Ruby's saying concerning the Dinobots, but do have to admit that her words carry some merit.

Jaune meets Wasp and the two have a heartfelt conversation regarding Bumblebee's death and what's it's doing to Jaune, like with Jaune and Weiss earlier in the chapter.

As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me. See you all next time when I begin the next multi-parter. Next chapter, it'll be time to Wreck 'n' Rule!

I know this chapter doesn't have any action, but some chapters are like that. Rest assured, the next chapter will definitely have some action in it.

PS: I'm actually thinking of doing a Beast Era story, complete with OCs partly due to the new IDW Beast Wars comic coming out next year in February which I am super excited for. I haven't written any bit of it yet, but if anyone has any ideas for it (Story plots, ideas, OCs, etc), please let me know in them comments/reviews, or personally PM me.

Another thing I am super excited for is the upcoming crossover of X-Men and Transformers. They've already come out with an X-Spanse toy that transforms into the Blackbird. This is a crossover that has soooo much potential.
