Author's Note: Hello, all. This is Ultra Rodimus, co-author of this fic with shadow dragon04. Yes, this fic is attached to my Ultra Rodimus series, taking place after my fic "Chase the Stars" ends.

Disclaimer: We do not own the Transformers. Ultra Rodimus and one version of Shadow are mine, while the other belongs to shadow dragon04. Everyone else belongs to someone else.

Now, on to the story….

Shadow stared up at the towering Autobot leader. "This is your world? Then I must have come through…"

"A dimensional breach," he confirmed. "The same way I ended up in your universe. The breach would have opened on your end, since we have done nothing to cause one of the blasted things to open."

"We were in the middle of a very heated battle," she agreed, picking herself up and looking around. "So, where in Primus's name am I?"

"Iacon, on Cybertron," was the response. "You're lucky you caught us in a relatively quiet moment and not in the middle of a battle."

"You've been having quite a few, I assume."

"Unfortunately, yes."

The red and black female looked past him at the cyber-wolf, who was watching her curiously, still puzzled. "Yours?"

"My pet, yes. His name is Lightfoot. Don't worry; he won't hurt you. You have managed to confuse him, though." Ultra Rodimus turned to the 'wolf. "Come here, boy."

Obediently, the 'wolf trotted over. Shadow cautiously reached out to scratch his ears. He looked up at her, his confusion clear in his optics.

"What's all the fuss about?" A large red, blue, and white Autobot walked out of the complex, glancing at the still staring crowd.

"We have a visitor," Ultra Rodimus replied, waving him over. "Another dimensional breach. This one dropped someone off here instead of sucking someone in."

"Oh, really?" The other bot walked over, looking down at her. His optics widened. "What…?"

"Shadow, this big hulk is Ultra Magnus, my second-in-command and drill instructor for the Autobot army. Magnus, this is the femme I told you about, the one I met when I was dragged into her universe."

The other bot thought for a moment. "Oh, yes. I remember now. I'd practically forgotten about that." He looked her over. "So, how do we get her home?"

"That we'll leave to Perceptor. If anyone can find a way, it's him. We just have to give him some time." Ultra Rodimus walked toward the complex, waving for them to follow. Before entering, he paused and looked back at the others, who still hadn't moved. "Don't all of you have things to do?"

They promptly returned to their interrupted business. He watched for a moment, then grunted and turned away. Magnus and Shadow followed.

As they walked through the city, other bots shot Shadow strange looks. She wondered why they were looking at her so oddly, but refrained from asking until they were somewhere more private.

Finally, they reached Ultra Rodimus's office. The young Autobot Prime sat in his chair, leaning back slightly. Magnus stood off to one side, where he could watch but not be in the way. Shadow stood in front of the massive desk, shifting her weight from foot to foot, waiting while Ultra Rodimus contacted Perceptor and told him to get to work figuring out how to get their newest visitor back home. While she waited, Shadow glanced around the office. Noticing a bundle of something red on the desk, she edged closer to get a better look.

It moved.

Shadow froze, staring at it. The bundle uncurled, and a pointy-eared head came up, turning yellow optics on her. It became a turbo-fox, a fair-sized one, painted like an Earth red fox. Sitting up, it matched her stare for stare.

"That's Red," the Prime told her. "Not the most original name, I know, but it works. Anyway, Perceptor has gotten to work trying to find a way to get you back where you belong."

"The sooner the better, I'm thinking," she muttered, looking away from the 'fox on the desk. "It's yours, too?"

"She," Ultra Rodimus corrected. "And yes, she is. Unlike Lightfoot, who I caught, she moved in on her own. The paint job is to make sure everyone else knows she's a pet."

Magnus tilted his head as he received a call on his internal comlink. "Prime, we've got incoming."

"Oh?"

"Incoming?" Shadow repeated.

The door hissed open, and another cyber-wolf trotted in. This one was slightly smaller than Lightfoot, and had the opposite coloring. Lightfoot was mostly black, while this one was mostly white. The 'wolf, clearly a female, had a black saddle marking on her back, like a human German shepherd, two black paws, one rear, one fore, and her eyes were the same yellow-green. Around her neck were a handmade silver collar and a bandana, colored red and black. The 'wolf saw Shadow and stopped.

"You've got two?" Shadow asked.

"No. Fang's not mine."

"Then whose is she?"

"Hers." Ultra Rodimus pointed to the femme who'd just entered his office. Two pairs of yellow optics met, and both femmes froze, staring. "Shadow, meet Shadow."

Optimus Prime gave a sigh. As soon as the Autobots had all gotten back to base he and Rodimus Prime had called an emergency meeting on his sister's disappearance.

"Ok, settle down," Rodimus Prime called out as everyone who was present for the meeting came in and sat down.

"Now, you all know why we called this meeting," he said, getting murmurs of agreement.

"An accidental breach was opened and sucked in Commander Shadow, Sir. How are we going to bring her back?" Ironhide said, voicing everyone in the room's question.

Optimus looked too him. "We don't know yet. First Aid, have you found a way to reopen the breach so a team can safely go through and rescue Shadow?" he asked, turning to the bot as he spoke

First Aid thought for a moment before nodding. "We might have a way. You remember not so long ago the bot who fell into our Dimension? We may just be able to use the same thing we used to send him back to open a breach in the dimensions to find Commander Shadow," he said, calculating it all down on a datapad he had in his hand

Optimus nodded. "Then get started on that. Alright The rescue team who will be going in to get Shadow out of there and back to our dimension will consist of myself, Rodimus, Kup, and Ironhide," he announced.

"Hey, what about me? I'm going as well," Kicker said, huffing slightly from where he stood on Ironhide's shoulder.

Optimus sighed. "Fine, but be careful, Kicker. We don't know what to expect"

Kicker rolled his eyes. "Give me a break. I'll be fine," he said

Optimus nodded. "Ok, dismissed," he said as everyone left the room.

Tbc…

And this is chapter 2. If you're wondering where the mech animals came from, Lightfoot makes his first appearance, in one of my fics, titled "Sick Days", and the other two, the turbo-fox and the white cyber-wolf, will be making their appearance at the end of "Chase the Stars". Now, please send us some reviews and we'll get to work on the next chapter.
