Episode 517: Pull A Stunticon
In the Ark, Sora explained to Sonic about the situation the Autobots are in against the Decepticons.
"And that's the story, Sonic. Optimus and the other Autobots crashed landed on Earth and went out for ten thousand years. The Decepticons did the same thing when they crashed landed," Sora said.
"No surprise that you would get pulled in the middle, Sora," Sonic said. "And this Megatron guy sounds like he could make Eggman look like a nice guy."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"I had the same thought. The same for Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Galactic, Team Plasma, and Team Shadow," Sora said.
"How would they know that the AllSpark is even here at all?" Sonic asked.
"That's what Optimus said. Megatron wants to use it so that he could rule over Cybertron, which can be bad for this world. And that can and will also be bad news for Mobius and Equestria if he hears about them," Sora said.
"Not if I have anything to say about it. There were bad guys that makes Eggman second-rate, and they got swept away, so those Decepticreeps won't be any different," Sonic said. Sora smiled.
"You're probably right. We took down the Brotherhood of Darkness because we worked together," Sora said.
Meanwhile, six green construction vehicles were building a tower. The construction vehicles transformed into their robot forms.
"Good work, Constructicons. We're making excellent progress in building our new fortress," the leading Constructicon said. They're unaware that Drift is spying on them from afar, along with Hauler, Grapple, and Hoist.
"I can't belive Scrapper and the others agreed to this," Hauler said.
"There are thing beyond our control, Hauler. After all, they all made their choices by siding against us," Drift said.
"Drift's right. Megatron probably spewed the same lies to them as he did to his forces," Hoist said.
"I'm surprised you weren't included in the mix since you were a Constructicon, Hauler," Grapple said.
"Because I knew wrong when I heard it," Hauler said.
"More cemet here Mixmaster. Scavenger, help Bonecrusher with the walls! Long Haul, Hook needs another pipe!" Scrapper said. He received a transmission from Megatron. "Lord Megatron. Something I can do, master?"
"I am checking on the progress of our new fortress," Megatron said.
"Everything's going smoothly, my lord. Thanks to the equipment provided to us, we'll have done in no time," Scrapper said.
"When can I expect completion?" Megatron asked.
"We could get it done within a few deca-cylces as long we have no interference from some Autobots," Scrapper said.
"Then I will not keep you, Scrapper," Megatron said. He breaks contact.
A Team Shadow squad is watching over the Constructicons building the fortress. One of the Team Shadow peons made contact.
"Master Mateus, those robots appears to be building some sort of building," the Team Shadow peon reported.
"How many of them do you see?" Mateus asked.
"Six," the Team Shadow peon answered. "Should we attack?"
"No. If you remember, we lost some people in the attack. Keep your distance and keep watch," Mateus ordered.
"As you wish, sir," the Team Shadow peon said.
Not too far, Hiroaki and his crew are taping the action.
"I think I'm going crazy, but those giant robots are building something," Charlie said.
"No duh, Sherlock," Yuki said.
"They have to be connected to the robot bugs that appeared recently. I just know it," Hiroaki said. They get in the van, and started to drive. They hear something coming their way. "Quiet. I hear something." A large black Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck drove by them. It was coming fast.
"It's just a truck," Charlie said. They felt something strike them from behind. "What the hell was that?!" A Porsche 928 was the car that rammed into them. "Hey, are you crazy?!"
"That depends on your definition of crazy!" A voice said in a psychotic tone. A black Ferrari 308 GTB with red windows rammed into them on the left. A yellow Tyrrell P34 also rammed on the right. The Kenworth truck from earlier along with a white Lamborghini Countach with a red hood comes at them at the front. They pushed their van over to the side. The vehicles all had Decepticon symbols on them.
"And stay off our road!" Another voice spoke.
Hiroaki and his crew were now unconscious. A few hours later, he woke up in the hospital with both his sons standing by his hospital bed. Hiroaki groaned in pain.
"Dad, you okay?" TK asked.
"Matt, TK. Where am I?" Hiroaki asked.
"You're in Fuchsia City. You were unconscious in the last three hours. You and your crew were found on the side of the road before someone found you and brought you here," Matt said.
"What happened?" TK asked.
"I don't even know where to begin. One minute were getting something on tape, the next, five crazy drivers drove us off the road; literally," Hiroaki explained.
"That makes you the third vehicle this week to be driven off," the a female doctor said. "Officer Jenny has been having her hands full, dealing with these incidents. She's been putting roadblocks all over the areas surrounding the city."
Aboard the Nemesis, Soundwave detected five Decepticon signals on the surface.
"Lord Megatron," Soundwave said.
"What is it, Soundwave?" Megatron asked.
"Five Decepticon signals have been detected," Soundwave reported.
"Decepticon signals?" Megatron asked. "I don't recall sending any of our forces down. Starscream must be up to his old tricks again." Starscream came into the command center.
"And what old trick are you referring to, my liege?" Starscream asked.
"Have you dispatched any Decepticons down to the surface without my permission?" Megatron asked.
"I haven't, Lord Megatron. It's possible that it could be an Autobot ruse to lure us out," Starscream said.
"For your sake, it better be. If it is not, then you will be in worst shape than Lugnut!" Megatron threatened.
"I'll be off!" Starscream said, taking off to find the source of the signals. He transformed to jet mode and took off.
The five vehicles from earlier transformed into robot mode. They all laughed.
"That was a good ram from behind, Dead End, but mine was way better!" the yellow Decepticon said.
"Of course, you would think of it as a contest, Drag Strip," Dead End said.
"Come on! Did you see the look on their faces when I pushed them off the road?" Drag Strip asked.
"We pushed them off," the black and red Decepticon said.
"Who asked you, Wildrider?" Drag Strip asked.
"No one asked you what the score is," Wildrider said.
"Um, aren't you worried about the Autobots showing up, guys?" The fourth Decepticon asked, getting paranoid.
"What are you worried about, Breakdown? We came here because things got boring with Cybertron being a dead planet, and came looking for adventure. And there isn't any other Cybertronian around here but us!" Drag Strip said.
"There is one thing you got right so far, Drag Strip," the large Decepticon said. "Before the war, we were the kings of the road. The most feared gang on Cybertron. There was no one who have never heard of us. When Megatron recruited us in his war, we had to drop everything we were doing, and fight along with them. And when Megatron left Cybertron to follow Optimus Prime and those other Autobots, and ended up being blown to bits."
"What about those little things? What if they try to take the roads back from us, Motormaster?" Breakdown asked.
"Oh, they'll try, and they'll die. And the planet's roads will soon belong to the Stunticons," Motormaster said as he and the other four other Stunticons laughed.
Over in Pallet Town, Sora, Kairi, Karen, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Blossom, and Sonic comes back to their houses with their families waiting for them.
"Trust it went well," Yuta said.
"Yeah, Dr. Eggman gave us a real hard time, but Sonic gave him what he deserved," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"And it wasn't your other friends who helped with that?" Mirei asked.
"The ponies and Digimon handled it just fine," Kairi said.
"Eevee," Angel said.
"We're not talking about them," Kairi's grandmother said.
"We meant the ones whom we've been noticing lately," Delia said. Sora, Kairi, and Karen's faces went pale for a moment before they regained their original coloring.
"Oh, of course it was," Karen said. "Isn't that right, Blossom?"
"Pika," Blossom said.
"They couldn't handle," Meowth said.
"Not that, kids. We meant the alien robots that you've been stepping out to see," Delia said. Sora's eyes went wide-eyed.
"How did you know about that?" Sora asked.
"And how long did you know?" Karen asked.
"We knew right away," Delia said.
"And we knew from the start," Kairi's grandmother added.
"We also heard your talk about those robot bugs to those cars," Yuta said.
"Besides, I couldn't fool her, and you can't fool me, Kairi," Mirei said.
"And if you're wondering about your aunt and uncle, then they know, too," Delia said. Sora sighed as he caved in.
"And confront us about it, why?" Sora asked.
"These things tends to follow up when we want them to or not," Yuta answered. Sora turned to Sonic with a cheeky grin.
"Sonic, did you know that they knew?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, I knew they knew," Sonic said. Sora grumbled as he ran his hand down his face, making Seth laugh, thinking he was making a face. "You should know better than to try to keep secrets from them."
"She bribed you with a chili dog, didn't she?" Sora asked.
"I did no such thing, young man," Delia said. "I gave him two chili dogs." Sora grumbled again as Kairi and Karen rubbed his back.
"Guys, if you're there, you might as well show yourselves. They know about you," Sora said. It was Hot Rod and Arcee when they just shown up. They transformed into robot mode. Delia, Yuta, Mirei, and Kairi's grandmother were awestruck by what they seeing. "Meet Hot Rod."
"And this is Arcee," Karen added.
"They're autonomous robotic organisms from the planet Cybertron. They're Autobots," Sora explained.
"They chose the forms of cars to avoid attention," Kairi added.
"I can understand the reason," Yuta said.
"And since you know, Optimus is going to chew me out again," Hot Rod said.
"I think we should explain the rest when Ven and his family get here," Sora said.
"You got that right, Sora," a familiar voice spoke. Sora cringed when he saw Ventus, Danny, Cattleya, Yuki, and Sparky with them, stepping out of Bulkhead. "Thanks for the lift, Bulkhead." Bulkhead transformed into robot mode and chuckled nervously.
"Hey guys," Bulkhead greeted as Skids and Smokescreen arrived.
"Things just a whole lot more complicated," Sora said.
Over in Alola, underneath Wela Volcano, a small Cybertronian ship has crashed as five Autobots are unconscious. An Alolan Golem accidentally jumpstarts the ship, activating the ship completely. The Autobots inside then regain consciousness. One of the Autobots stood up. He has a red chest, and his body is mostly white with yellow joints. He looked around and sees the other four. One is white and red, while another is white and red, but has a plane's nose above. Another is black with an orange face, and one is red and white, and has an orange face as well and looks like he's wearing shades.
"Silverbolt. Where are we?" The shade Autobot asked.
"Wish I knew, Slingshot," Silverbolt said. "Skydive, Air Raid, Fireflight, you okay?"
"I'm still good," Skydive said.
"I didn't burn, but we did crash," Fireflight said.
"And what a crash," Air Raid said. "Those Decepticons did a real number on us."
"Let's fire up the ship and get out of here," Slingshot said. Silverbolt tried to activate the ship to take off.
"Ugh, no good. Our flight capabilities are shot," Silverbolt said. "We could just try to get some help."
"You're calling for help? Big surprise!" Slingshot said with sarcasm.
"I don't see you coming up with any bright ideas, Slingshot. We can't take off in this ship, and we don't know where we are. So, the least we can do is try to contact someone so they could stage a rescue," Silverbolt said. "Besides, you wanna take a chance for the Decepticons to find us before any Autobots come looking for us?"
"Speaking of Decepticons, I'm more worried about them tracking us down tapping into our communications," Fireflight said.
"Not a chance. It's an Autobot only frequency. We put in a jammer before we took off," Silverbolt said.
"Right, we don't want them to listen in on us, Skydive said.
"I just hope the communication systems are still operational," Silverbolt said, pushing some buttons. "Mayday, mayday, this is Silverbolt of the Aerialbot unit, can anyone hear me?"
Back to the Ark, Blaster is tuning into some tunes in his radio mode, listening to some tunes.
"Oh yeah, this song is awesome!" Blaster said.
"Mayday, mayday! Can anyone hear me?" A voice asked. Blaster transformed into robot mode and tuned in the communications.
"I hear you loud and clear. Who's this?" Blaster asked.
"This is Silverbolt of the Aerialbot unit! We need immediate help!" Silverbolt responded.
"What's your current status? Anyone with you?" Blaster asked.
"Yes! My entire unit is here with me," Silverbolt said.
"What is your current location?" Blaster asked.
"We appear to be underground. Hard to describe where we are," Silverbolt responded.
"Okay, we will try to pinpoint your current location. Until then, just sit tight, and then a squad will be sent for you," Blaster said.
"Oh, so now we wait," Slingshot said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Shut up, Slingshot," Silverbolt said. "Okay, we'll wait for you. And thanks." Blaster Breaks contact with Silverbolt.
"Optimus has got to know about this," Blaster said.
Over to Pallet Town, Sora, Kairi, Karen, and Ventus explained to their families about the Autobots and Decepticons being in a war against each other and them looking for the AllSpark.
"Incredible," Yuta said. "All that over fuel."
"And over the AllSpark," Skids said.
"You said that it gave you life," Cattleya pointed out.
"That's right. If the Decepticons gets their hands on it, then we're doomed," Bulkhead said.
Back to the Ark, Perceptor went up to Optimus about a matter that has presented itself.
"Optimus! I'm picking up five Decepticon signals!" Perceptor reported.
"Where are they?" Optimus asked. Perceptor brings up a map.
"It's in this sector here," Perceptor said, pointing to an area around Fuchsia City. "And more." He displays a newscast on screen.
"These five renegade drivers have caused loads of troubles for our motorists. We do not know the motivations behind these heinous attacks, but we can assure you, we will do everything we can to put a stop to this, and the Fuchsia City police will bring these reckless motorists to justice," Officer Jenny said.
"Attacks?" Optimus asked.
"Yes. I suspect that Decepticons are connected to this," Perceptor said.
"Agreed. Only Decepticons have no regards to the humans on the roads," Optimus said.
"Who do we send?" Perceptor asked.
"No need, Perceptor," Elita One said, walking up to the male Autobots. "I have dispatched a unit to deal with the matter."
Speaking of which, a unit of seven Autobot troopers are driving in vehicle mode, searching for the source of the attacks. Suddenly, the Stunticons attacked in vehicle mode. The troopers transformed in robot mode as did the Stunticons.
"Autobots!" Breakdown exclaimed.
"Looks like you were wrong, Drag Strip," Wildrider said.
"It doesn't matter. We can take them," Motormaster said.
"There's seven of them and five of us," Breakdown said.
"We can still take them on," Dead End said.
"Attack!" Motormaster ordered as he drew out a gun and fired at one, killing him. The other troopers fired at the Stunticons, but they fired back. They struck the other Autobot troopers, taking them out. One more tried to fight back, but Motormaster bats him with his right arm and stomps on his head. "Stupid Autobots."
"So much for us being the only Cybertronians here," Wildrider said.
"Other Autobots are going to start showing up to get to us," Breakdown said.
"Let them come. We're going to roll over for those Autobots. And when they do, we'll give them such a warm welcome, plus a little something extra," Motormaster said. "Let's get ready."
Back at the Ark, Blaster ran up to Optimus.
"Boss bot! We got a situation, sir!" Blaster said.
"What is it, Blaster?" Optimus asked.
"I received an urgent message from a band of Autobots. I need help trying to figure out the source of the transmission," Blaster said.
"I can provide the help, Blaster," Perceptor said.
"How are you certain it is one of ours?" Elita One asked.
"It was from an Autobot frequency, but I'll need help locating it," Blaster said.
"If there are Autobots in need, then we cannot ignore them. You did the right thing to contact us," Optimus said.
Perceptor was able to pinpoint the exact location of the Aerialbots, showing that they're on Akala Island. Ratchet has his medical equipment ready.
"They appear to be under that burning mountain," Perceptor said.
"Activate the Ground Bridge," Optimus ordered. Perceptor turns it on as he, Elita One, Jazz, Ratchet, and Chromia enters through. The Aerialbots were surprised to see it was Optimus Prime of all bots.
"Optimus Prime?" Slingshot asked.
"You're alive!" Air Raid said.
"Yes, yes. Come, we should have you patched up," Ratchet said, taking the Aerialbots back to the Ark.
"How is it possible that you survived after all this time?" Silverbolt asked.
"We shall explain later. For now, we shall tend to your care," Optimus said. "Ratchet, see to it that they receive the best care."
"Of course," Ratchet said.
Hot Rod, Arcee, Bulkhead, Skids, and Smokescreen have arrived. Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Pikachu, Angel, Meowth, Blossom, and Sparky all arrived to the Ark along with Delia, Yuta, Mirei, Danny, and Cattleya. They were amazed to see more Autobots. Optimus looked at the group.
"Hot Rod, explain," Optimus said.
"They knew about us, sir," Hot Rod said. Sonic came running in.
"Parents has an act of picking up on these things," Sonic said.
"Everyone, meet Optimus Prime. He's the leader of the Autobots," Kairi introduced him.
"You really make interesting friends," Yuta said.
"We heard about the mess you have back home, Optimus. We're sorry to hear about your planet," Delia said.
"Did we come at a bad time?" Karen asked.
"We have some new arrivals," Optimus said. "Now, who are you, fellow Autobots?"
"I'm Silverbolt. I lead this unit. Meet Slingshot, Air Raid, Fireflight, and Skydive. We're a unit known as Aerialbots," Silverbolt said.
"Aerialbots? I never heard of you," Skids said.
"We assembled the team back on Cybertron after you left. We left Cybertron in search for Decepticons, and we managed to wipe them out. We got into a real fight with a Decepticon ship. We got shot down, but not before we got a good at the Cons, blasting them into space dust. We crashed landed in an area with a flaming mountain, but we went into stasis before the crash was complete. We had no idea where we were or how long we've been there," Silverbolt explained.
"You mean a volcano," Karen said.
"A what?" Slingshot asked.
"Volcano is the term for the flaming mountain you spoke of," Perceptor said. "Do you remember anything else before crashing?"
"No, we don't," Fireflight said.
"Not that it's any of your business anyway!" Slingshot said.
"Slingshot, calm down," Silverbolt said.
"Calm down? How can I be calm having to be brought here and seeing those things?" Slingshot asked, pointing at the humans and Pokémon.
"He's a real charmer," Yuta said with a hint of sarcasm.
"We owe it to Optimus and his unit. We would still be there if our communications weren't functioning," Silverbolt said.
"He has a point, Slingshot," Skydive said.
"Whose side are you on, Skydive?" Slingshot asked.
"I'm just saying," Skydive said.
"Who asked you to say anything?" Slingshot asked.
"Enough!" Optimus stated. "You are here, and you are alive. You should reserve your energy fighting the Decepticons, not each other."
"He's right, guys. We should work together with Optimus and the others. We're all Autobots here," Silverbolt said.
"So, let's go and skid some Cons out of the sky," Fireflight said.
"Wouldn't you need a disguise before you go stepping out?" Meowth asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Danny asked.
"He means they'll have to take on the form of a vehicle so no one could see what they really look like. They're robots in disguise," Ventus said.
"A demonstration is in order," Perceptor said, activating Teletran One. "Teletran One, search and scan for compatible vehicles for the Aerialbots."
"Searching," Teletran One complied. Teletran One ventured into an air museum and scanned the planes. One is a Concorde SST. Silverbolt took that as his disguise. Another is a McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. Air Raid made good use for that. Another is a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. And that has Fireflight's name on it. Another is a General Dynamics F-16A Fighting Falcon. Sky Dive is now wearing it as a new form. And the final aircraft is a British Aerospace Sea Harrier. Slingshot is making good use for this one. "Scanning complete."
"Let's try on our new forms," Air Raid suggested.
"I was thinking the same thing. Aerialbots, transform!" Silverbolt ordered. The Aerialbots transformed into their new forms.
"Hey, I like this one!" Slingshot said.
"Same here! It is so me," Sky Dive said.
"How would you like to take them out for a spin?" Hot Rod asked.
"That's a great idea," Silverbolt said.
"They could show you around," Optimus said, gesturing to the humans.
"I could go for a flight," Yuta said.
"Yuta," Mirei said.
"Just wanted to fly. Besides, it's going to be fun," Yuta said.
"I can join in," Danny said.
"Hop aboard," Silverbolt said, opening the cockpit. Sora and Kairi gets in Silverbolt as Yuta took a ride on Slingshot, while Danny got in Fireflight with Ventus. Karen and Blossom got in Skydive. Pikachu and Angel got in Silverbolt before closed his cockpit. The Aerialbots took flight. "The sky on this planet is amazing."
"It's no Cybertron, but you gotta admit, it's pretty sweet," Fireflight said.
"Eh, it's okay," Slingshot said.
"This makes me feel like a real pilot," Danny said. "I have always dreamed about this when I was a kid."
"It's pretty awesome. If only Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy could join us up here," Ventus said.
"Pikachu!" Sparky said.
"Who are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?" Slingshot asked.
"A couple of friends of ours," Ventus said.
Over to Starscream, he made it to the area to where the Stunticons were sighted.
"Okay, I made it to the coordinates. Now where could those Autobots be?" Starscream asked as he transformed to robot mode. He looked around for the Stunticons, but he is suddenly fired upon. "I knew it! Autobots!" He fired back at the shooters. "Show yourselves, cowards!" Just then, Dead End drives at Starscream in vehicle mode. Starscream shoots at him and misses. "You're quite agile, Autobot!" Wildrider drove at Starscream from behind and brings him down. They transformed into robot mode and aimed at Starscream.
"Who are you calling Autobot?" Dead End asked, aiming at Starscream. Wildrider took a look at the Decepticon symbol on his wings.
"Wait a cycle. He's no Autobot. He's a Decepticon like us," Wildrider said.
"You're Decepticons? Wait, that agility. You're not just any Decepticons; you're Stunticons," Starscream said.
"No scrap," Dead End said. Motormaster, Breakdown, and Drag Strip arrived to the scene.
"Dead End, Wildrider, why is this bot still functioning?" Motormaster asked. He looked Starscream. "Who sent you?"
"I am Starscream, second-in-command to Megatron supreme leader of Decepticons. Your master," Starscream said.
"Megatron? He was blown to bits!" Motormaster said.
"He lives, I assure you. I thought it was an Autobot ruse, but seeing you, this is truly an unexpected pleasure in seeing Decepticons other than myself out here," Starscream said.
"We stomped on those Autobots for showing up," Motormaster said, showing him a part of an Autobot trooper.
"I see. And I can understand why you attacked me. You thought I was an Autobot. Perhaps we can help each other out," Starscream said.
"Why should we help you out, Starscream?" Motormaster asked.
"Because we have a common enemy. The Autobots are the scourge of Cybertron, so if we work together, we can destroy our hated enemies," Starscream said.
"I say we blast him here and now," Wildrider said.
"Whoever hits his head, wins!" Drag Strip said.
"Wait, we will discuss this," Motormaster said.
"Of course," Starscream said. He grinned. "Those five are perfect. Once I gain total control over them, I can assure my place as leader of the Decepticon." Starscream chuckled. "But to play it safe, I'll have to stick to my red Energon plan, so no one gets suspicious."
"We're trusting that bot? You have got to be kidding!" Dead End exclaimed.
"Yeah, he might blast us to the AllSpark," Breakdown said.
"Breakdown might be right," Wildrider said.
"Shut up and listen, all of you. We'll just do what he says for right now. And if Starscream tries anything, we'll just clip his wings, and keep them as trophies," Motormaster said. "Or we could just blast him as well when some Autobots show up. And once we snuff out every Autobot Spark, not even Megatron will stop us." The rest of the Stunticons agreed with Motormaster's plan. They turned to face him. "Okay, Starscream, you've convinced us."
"You have made a wise choice, Motormaster," Starscream said. He picked up five signals from the sky. "And what perfect timing. Look!" He points up to the sky. The Stunticons turned to see the planes flying in the air.
"They're just planes," Breakdown said.
"Planes with Autobot signals. You cannot reach them from down here, but I can," Starscream said. He transformed into jet mode. "I'll bring them down, and you can do the rest." Starscream flew right at the planes.
Sora, Kairi, Karen, Ventus, Pikachu, Angel, Sparky, Blossom, Danny, Yuta, and the Aerialbots flew the sky.
"You change your mind about the planet, Slingshot?" Yuta asked.
"Okay, you managed to convince me," Slingshot said. Beeping is heard.
"What is that?" Yuta asked.
"Something's coming at us. Something fast," Slingshot said. Sora looked around and saw a jet coming at them. He saw an aura in the jet.
"More like someone," Sora said.
"Sora?" Kairi asked.
"That jet's a Con!" Sora said.
The jet fired at the Aerialbots. They managed to dodge the assault.
"We better land," Silverbolt said.
"You're kidding, right?" Slingshot asked.
"We can't protect them like this while we're in vehicle mode. They'll be caught in the crossfire while we're in the air. And it's easier for us to transform," Silverbolt said.
"This is where you get off," Fireflight said. The humans and Pokémon got off as the Aerialbots transformed into robot mode.
"And this is where we pick you off, Autobot!" Motormaster stated. He aimed his gun at the Aerialbots. The rest of the Stunticons did the same thing.
"More Decepticons," Sora said.
"Who are you?" Silverbolt asked.
"The name's Motormaster," Motormaster said. "And you bots are grounded; permanently."
"Not if we have anything to say about it," Fireflight said.
"Hey guys, let's make this fun. How about we pick off those little things first. Make it a contest," Drag Strip said.
"I want that one!" Breakdown said, pointing at Sora. Sora's hands began to emit his aura, hoping to block the laser fire.
"You do and you answer to me," Starscream said, transforming into robot mode.
"And you are?" Sora asked.
"The name's Starscream. And I see that you have made yourselves acquainted with the Stunticons; Drag Strip, Breakdown, Dead End, Wildrider, and of course Motormaster," Starscream said.
"Starscream? As in the Starscream?" Air Raid asked.
"Wanna fill us in, guys?" Sora asked.
"Starscream is one of the worse Cons that ever lived," Silverbolt said. "He's Megatron's second-in-command."
"And I thought those guys looked familiar; the Stunticons. They're Decepticon daredevils. They're always harassing other motorists and claims the roads as their own," Skydive said.
"Now that the formalities are out of the way, we have Autobots to scrap," Starscream said. "You may proceed, Motormaster."
"Like we need permission from you," Motormaster said. "Get ready to fire." He and the other Stunticons aimed at the Aerialbots. Just then, Sonic zoomed at the guns from the Stunticons.
"Hey! What happened?!" Wildrider exclaimed.
"Hey!" Sonic called out. They turned to see Sonic waving at the Stunticons. "Looking for these?"
"What is that thing?" Breakdown asked.
"Dead, that's what!" Dead End replied.
"Get it!" Motormaster ordered. The Stunticons dove to tackle Sonic, but the blue hedgehog was too fast for them.
"Too slow," Sonic said.
"Don't call me slow!" Motormaster hissed. He slammed his fist down, and Sonic dodged. "Anything faster than me is an insult!"
"Why? Can't handle the competition?" Sonic asked.
"He's even more obnoxious than Drag Strip!" Breakdown said.
"Not for long. Stunticons! To me!" Motormaster ordered. The Stunticons transformed into vehicle mode and drove into each other. Motormaster became the torso. Horns forms on the forehead. Dead End is the left arm as Drag Strip became the right arm. Breakdown became the right leg, and Wildrider became the left leg.
"A combiner," Starscream said. He grinned. "I got more than I could ever hope for."
"Prepare to meet your maker, you little blue parasite! Curiosity of Menasor!" The giant robot yelled.
"Did we just see five big robots become one bigger robot?" Danny asked.
"Looks like it," Yuta said, awestruck.
"First we see Dinobots become one big bot, now we see speed freak Cons going at it," Sora said.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"They're not the only ones who can do that," Silverbolt said. Sonic taunts Menasor as he tried to catch him.
"Hold still so I can crush you!" Menasor said.
"If you think I'm going to do that, than you've been taking stupid lessons from that other Con," Sonic said.
"Aerialbots, let's do this!" Silverbolt said. Starscream looked at the Aerialbots as they transformed into plane mode.
"What are they up to?" Starscream asked. They flew right towards one another. "No, it can't be!" They started to merge together just like the Dinobots and Stunticons. Silverbolt became the torso as Slingshot became left arm and Fireflight became the right arm. Air Raid became the left leg, and Skydive became the right leg. "Menasor! Don't get distracted!" Menasor turned as the Aerialbot combiner grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Pick on someone your own size," the Aerialbot combiner said.
"Says who?" Menasor asked.
"Says me, Superion," the Aerialbot combiner retorted.
"Be careful what you asked for, because you're only to end up regretting it later!" Menasor tackled him. Superion gave him a kick on the side.
"Tear him limb from limb!" Starscream ordered. Sonic stood on his shoulder.
"Hey," Sonic said. Starscream looked at the Decepticon and gave him a raspberry.
"Why you little-!" Starscream said smacking his own shoulder when Sonic ran off.
"Missed me!" Sonic taunted.
"Oh, I won't miss again," Starscream said, aiming his arm, readying a missle. "Not with this." He fired his missle at the blue hedgehog. Sonic started to run as the missle gave chase. He sets his attention to the humans and Pokémon. "Now that the blue nuisance is about to be a smoking pile of flesh, I can deal with you."
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Sora ordered.
"You too, Sparky!" Ventus ordered.
"Angel! Swift!" Kairi ordered.
The Pokémon unleashed their attacks on the Decepticon, making him wail in pain. He was sent backwards.
"Good work, hun!" Kairi said.
"Thanks, dad," Kairi said.
"You too, son. You and Sparky already make a good team," Danny said.
"You have Sora to thank, dad," Ventus said. Starscream groaned, getting up.
"You miserable little-" Starscream was cut off when Sonic ran underneath him, and he is struck by his own missle. "AAH! SCRAP THAT HURTS!"
"That was quick, Sonic. I should have brought a stopwatch with me," Sora said.
"Eggman's robots couldn't get me, and this flying scrap pile couldn't either," Sonic said.
"I don't know who this Eggman is, but I will succeed with you where he has failed," Starscream said. Pikachu and Angel ran on his back and gave him an Iron Tail in the face. "OOMPH!"
Menasor drew his sword and swung it, only to miss Superion. He jumped out of the way and gave the Decepticon combiner a kick in the gut.
"You're going to pay for that, Autobot!" Menasor said.
"Put it on my tab, Menasor!" Superion said, giving him an uppercut. Just then, an Onix and a Steelix appeared and rammed into Menasor. Steelix fired Hyper Beam right at Menasor. He skids on the ground. Steelix ceases Hyper Beam.
"I won't let you get away with this!" Menasor said as several Frost Rotom appeared and fired Blizzard on the Decepticon combiner. Icicles appears on the arms. Superion gave him one more punch, making Menasor seperate completely. Starscream transformed into jet mode.
"Retreat!" Starscream ordered. The Stunticons transformed to vehicle mode and drove off with Starscream. Superion separates back to the Aerialbots.
"Get back here, cowards!" Slingshot shouted.
"Let them go, Slingshot. They had enough," Silverbolt said. A Ground Bridge opens as several Autobot troopers came through with Jazz and Chromia leading.
"Where are the Cons?" Jazz asked.
"You're late for the party, guys," Sora said.
"They took off," Kairi said. "Thanks to the Aerialbots, and them." Jazz and Chromia looked to see nothing.
"Thanks to who?" Jazz asked. Everyone turned to see Onix, Steelix, and the Frost Rotom gone.
"Where did they go?" Ventus asked.
"Okay, I know this scene is familiar," Sora said.
Unaware, it was members of PHOP who helped them out, and disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared.
Over to Starscream and the Stunticons.
"How humiliating. It was bad enough to be beaten by Autobots, but those whatever those were," Motormaster said.
"Word doesn't have to spread all around; since I am willing to help you five out," Starscream said. The Stunticons all looked at him.
"What are you getting at?" Wildrider asked.
"What I'm getting at is I can spare you the humiliation of being bested by those creatures if you would rejoin the ranks of the Decepticons," Starscream said.
"And why should we rejoin?" Motormaster asked.
"Because word will spread around if a certain Decepticon let's it slip out," Starscream said. "And you can go ahead and tell the others of my involvement, but I will only deny it. What will it be?"
"We'll rejoin you," Motormaster said quickly as the rest of the Stunticons agreed.
"You made a wise choice, Motormaster. And you five will repay your debt to me. And the time will come when you choose sides," Starscream said.
"Between Autobots and Decepticons?" Breakdown asked.
"Between me or Megatron!" Starscream said.
"Megatron?" All of the Decepticons asked.
"Yes, Megatron. He thinks of you as fierce warriors, so if you want him to still think that you are, then he is to never to know of YOUR defeat by some puny humans and their pets. So, if you want to protect what's left of your reputations, you will do exactly what I say! Am I making myself clear?" Starscream asked in a threatening manner.
"Anything, anything," Motormaster said.
"Another wise choice, Stunticons," Starscream said.
Back at the Ark, they explained what happened.
"So, Starscream ran away again," Windblade said. "No surprise from that coward."
"What about those Pokémon? Where did they go?" Meowth asked.
"No idea, but I have a feeling someone is helping us out again," Sora said. "And I have a feeling whoever's helping knows about you guys by now, just like Team Shadow."
"Whatever the case, we are thankful that we have allies helping us from the shadows, as well as enemies," Optimus said. "This Team Shadow has made no threat against us yet, but if so, then reason can stand that this planet has its own Decepticons."
PHOP helps out again! It's Sinnoh all over again, but how soon will Team Shadow, the Brotherhood of Darkness or the Decepticons make their next move? More to come soon.
