Okay, this is the rewrite of the chapter 7 and I realize that there are others who do care about my life, I read one of my viewers comments, and realize that people who reads do care. I am sorry for the misuse of my words; I hope you all enjoy the changed chapter

Chapter 7: The Truth

"VAL AND ANTONY ARE WHAT?!" Quinn, Aggie, Damien, and Gem yelled out inside the base, luckily it was soundproof, so there won't be an avalanche. Val was staring at Angel with wide and shock eyes, she was an alien! She thought she has these powers because of her mother's serum, Project Alpha, but she was an alien. Does her daddy used to know about this? Carl maybe?! Val was trying to process all of this as well as everyone else, until Angel clears her throat, and everyone looks at her.

Angel looks at them and said, "I know all of you are processing this, but yes. Val and Antony are both royal Galatrias. Their great-great grandmother Aretha was the second born of the royal family." She looks at Antony. "Antony, you were taking when you were just five years old right? There's a reason for that." She said and Antony listens. "Your mother gave you a special serum called Project Beta, this serum gave you advance fighting skills and combat. Alder, the crazy scientist, was searching for a perfect specimen. You were the one that he wanted to experiment on." She walks over to the computer and looks at the screen. "Your mother was heartbroken, she feared that you were being tortured, she called a friend to save you."

"The mysterious alien," Antony whispers out the alien who saved his life.

Angel nodded. "Yes, he brought you back to your mother safely, but she feared that you will be targeted by alien bounty hunters. So, the best way to keep you safe, is for you to be raised by Solomon."

"Wait a minute." Lazro cuts her off. "Are you telling us that Antony's mother knows Captain Solomon?"

Angel looks at the Galaxy Knight and said. "Yes. Solomon and Alma were good friends and if she needed any help, she'll contact Solomon."

Antony shook his head in shock. So, Solomon knows his family? All these years of not knowing his pass, Solomon knew this all along, why didn't he tell him this? "Why didn't Captain Solomon tell me my past?" Antony mutters quietly.

Angel heard him and turns to him with an answer. "Your mother told him not to tell you about your past." Antony's eyes widen by the news and looks at her with shock eyes. "She wanted you safe, and the only way is that you were trained by Solomon, so you can be strong to defend yourself."

Antony lowered his head and process everything. His mother did this, so he can be safe? She did this out of love? "She did this out of love?"

Angel nodded, "Yes. It pains her that she can't see you." She said. "She wanted to visit you and help you remember her and you father. Heck, she wanted to bring Val to show you to her, but it wasn't safe, and she knows it." She looks at her cousin and added, "She loved you with all her heart and she wish that one day she will see you again."

Antony lowered his head, he could feel tears coming out from his eyes, but he did not shed a tear. Lazro placed a hand on his friend's shoulder before looking at Angel. "You said Aretha was their great-great grandmother, correct?" Angel nodded as Lazro continued. "But Aretha disappeared with her kin nine hundred years ago, how can she be their great-great grandmother? She could've been dead by now and have a child."

Angel couldn't help but make a small smile on her face as she looks at Lazro, "Because Galatria doesn't age like we do."

Everyone looks at her in confusion and disbelief, not understanding what she was saying. Angel turns towards Celestia and said. "C, come here little dragon." Angel spoke gently. Celestia chirps as she went over to and jumps into Angel's arms. Angel began her explanation. "Galatrias are like dragons, they barely age and stopped on the certain age for a while until it's their time to die." She puts Celestia down as she runs towards Val, who picks her up.

"Wait a minute, are you telling us the Galatrias are immortal?!" Gem almost exclaims.

Angel nodded. "Sort of, but they die when their time is up. Val and Antony's great-great grandmother barely age, stayed young and beautiful, until she fell in love with a human male and gave her a child, a daughter with red hair as rubies and eyes pure as sapphires. Her daughter grew up with her mother when the father was killed a by thug when he was coming home. Aretha's daughter grew up and became a beautiful maiden. And few years later-"

"Aretha died, correct?" Antony finished her sentence.

"Sadly, yes, but she lived a happy life and her daughter soon have a daughter of her own and named her Almalya or Alma for short aka Antony and Val's mom and she soon had you two."

Antony stood from his seat. "You're telling us that me and Val have grandmother? Where is she all these years?" he asked suddenly.

"Please tell us, Angel. Pretty please?" Val asked eagerly.

Angel smiled and gently shook her head. "Your grandmother is known to be an adventurer, she travels around the world, learning new things and meeting new people. The reason why you two haven't met her because she wanted you two to be safe."

Everyone looked at each other before looking at Angel. "What do you mean?" Antony asked. "If you know her and where she is, we can find her and maybe know why we are here."

"That might be a problem." Angel said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Antony asked.

"Your grandmother is traveling around the world, trying to hide herself from you two, and keep you safe."

"What?" Everyone asked unison.

"She is a danger to everyone, and a royal blood like her grandchildren, but she is the master of her powers, yet she is full of danger." Angel explains to them.

"I don't get." Damien blurted out. Gem elbows his arm and glares at him as he rubs it in pain.

"Lady Angel, with all due respect, but why can't their grandmother help Val or Antony?" Lazro spoke respectfully.

Angel looks at him and said. "She wishes she could be there, but she can't tell them until they are ready. Alma told Vanessa when Antony and Val come of age, she will tell them their bloodline. She couldn't tell them sooner because they were separated. She was waiting for the right moment to tell them when they are together." Angel explains. "But if she couldn't tell you, I will."

"Do you know their history?" Quinn asked Angel in shock.

Angel nodded. "Yes, because Vanessa told me their history long ago."

"Well, they're together now." Dark Twilight said, "Now's the time to tell them about their ancestors."

Angel looks at her and nodded. "I understand." She said before she begins her story. "Long ago, before there was even life, there were stars of the filled the dark space. There was one star that shines out."

"Are you talking about a supernova?" Damien butts in until Gem shushes him.

Angel shook her head with a smile. "No, the star was actually a living being, the star's light was like gold as it shines so bright until it forms to a goddess name Crystalia."

Val's eyes widen in shock, "I know her. She was there when I came back to life."

Dark grins. "Yeah, the part where I almost killed people." The gang gave her a disturbed look as they scooted away from her, except Val.

Angel nodded. "Yes, the Goddess Crystalia is known to be a forgiving and gentle goddess who would listen for those in needs and can tell who is lying or not." Angel winks at Damien who whistles innocently. "The Goddess Crystalia the Goddess of New Beginning, her powers can create worlds that are unknown to anyone, but there are some Gods and Goddesses that know her trues power. The Goddess Crystalia was the only one who can access this power if they can open the Gate of Beginning."

"What's that?" Gem asked curiously.

"The Gate of Beginning is known to house the power of Crystalia, and the one who can open it first will have full access to the power the goddess, but there is a catch. The Gate can be open if a second born of a royal family is born, she will be the one who can open it and the one who stands by her side will have the power, if they are the purest heart, but if there is no one by the Key's side then the only one who will access it is the key herself."

"I remember that." Lazro said. "Captain Solomon told us this story when we were kids, he said that there is a powerful gate that can change the whole universe in a mere second."

"That is correct and the only way to get to the gate is by the Terraformer."

"The Terraformer!" Antony, Damien, and Lazro almost yelled. The kids looked at them in confusion.

"What's a Terraformer?" Val asked innocently.

"The Terraformer is a powerful ship, legend has it that the Terraformer can purify dark matter into pure energy. It can create life, creating new animal life, even extinct ones." Antony explains. "The Terraformer was known to be use by Galatrias, they use it to rebuild the genetic structure and then transport them to the planet for repopulation and recolonize."

"That is correct, Antony, until the Monstrums came looking for the Aretha, they had no choice but to hide the ship from the Monstrums. To ensure its safety, it was sent to a nebula with an ice field that makes it a hostile and dicey environment."

"What's the nebula called?" Aggie asked.

"It is called the Gefroren Nebula, aliens from other galaxy tried to find it, but never came back."

Dark Twilight grins. "They never came back because they died trying to find it, right?"

Angel nodded solemnly. "Yes. They ended up being killed when they search for the Terraformer."

"Yeah, every alien thief, thug, and criminals tried to find, and the ones that did tried and died trying." Damien added.

"That's because it is 350,000,000 million light years away." Angel said. "And because of that, it is protected from evil, and no one shall use it for evil."

"Until now." Dark added, "These Monstrums are going after Val because she's the Key Wielder and she's an easy target."

"Yes. But if we defeat the Monstrum we can save the universe and make Val crown Queen." Angel stated.

"Wait." Damien stops her. "I thought the first born were supposed to be rulers. I mean, Antony was born first, and Val was born second, so basically Antony is gonna be the king, right?"

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Damien has a point." Gem agreed. "As weird that he said, but he's right. Antony is the first-born child of a royal family."

"That's where you two are both wrong." Angel said. "You see, Aretha had a big brother named King Andreous, Andreous was great king. He was kind, strong, brave, and loving to his people and little sister. But he was soon killed Monstrum's leader, Thanatos."

"He was killed?!" Aggie asked in shock.

"Yes, Thanatos had a powerful sword called Zahkrii Do Suleyk (Sword of Power), it was created by the souls of royal Galatria leaders that he somehow got and created the sword." Angel explains. "Thanatos's sword absorbed King Andreous's soul and body, he was gone, and the next heir was the second born, Aretha. And since she is the female heir, her next kin must be female to rule the planet."

"But Vanessa could be somewhere." Quinn added, "Doesn't make her the queen?"

"No, she does not have the mark of the kingdom. In ancient Galatria custom, if one of the royal family has the mark of the kingdom, then he or she is destined to rule."

"Did King Andreous have a mark?" Lazro asked.

"Yes, and if I remember correctly from Vanessa's stories, it was a tree on his right arm. But when he died, the mark was soon pass down to Aretha, but instead of a tree, it was a rose, a sapphire blue rose."

Val gasps as she looked at her mark, her rose birthmark was the sign of her being the next ruler of the Galatria empire. Wow.

"Wow, just wow." Damien said, "Who knew crazy runs in Val's family."

Angel chuckles a bit. "True, but I know you two want answers. And I will answer all that wish to know." She said with a smile.

Val walks over to her and looks at her innocently. "Can you tell me about my grandma's adventure, Angel?" She asked innocently.

Angel smiles and nodded. "I will tell you everything I know." She said with a smile.

On a cold night of the forest of Nevada, there was secret base that belong to M.E.C.H. M.E.C.H. was an organization working in opposition to the United States government. They sought to create a "new world order" through the application of the cutting-edge technology. the leader of this organization is known as Silas. Silas was a former Colonel named Leland Bishop; he was a member of Special Tactics with the US army with ambitious weapons idea which included Project: Damocles a space operated satellite. However, the project was mothballed, and Bishop was discharged as a result. Still bent on his weapons ideas, Bishop went rogue and funding the terrorist organization MECH recruiting other Special Tactics soldiers to assist him and adopted the name of Silas.

The first thing the M.E.C.H.'s priority was to capture three experiment that belong to Professor Anna Heart. Anna was a scientist that was making an environment friendly energy source but didn't finished it after M.E.C.H. destroyed her lab when they were trying to find her three experiments, but the three experiments escaped and were able to injure or killed some M.E.C.H. soldiers, including scarring the leader of M.E.C.H., Silas. But Silas still searches for them, wanting them to be war machines.

But now, he discovered something greater than them, Cybertronians. They have learned about the existence of both the Autobots and Decepticons ever since their encounter with them in Convoy. They planned to incorporate the technology of Cybertronians to pursue their agenda for the world, even if it means tearing them apart inside and out. They were able to get some info, but they made a new progress, they're creating their own Cybertronian in their control.

It starts when some scientists were working on something all night. It was lying on a big berth that looks like a robot girl, but it's not, it was a Protoform. A Protoform consist of an unspecified, free-flowing, metallic matter layered over basic robotic systems. It was found by MECH years ago, on a mysterious crash sight. It was the only thing in tack while the rest were destroyed. They keep in a safe storage unit they figure out what to do it.

The scientists were studying it. There were soldiers, wearing masks, watching from afar, making sure nothing goes wrong. The Protoform was in complete stasis lock, not knowing when it will be active. There were many wires attached it and it leads to close pod like bed. There was something inside of it but, it can't be seen. Walking over the edge of the platform, Silas looks at it with an evil smile a scientist went over to him.

"How's our test subject?" Silas asked.

"It's doing fine, Sir." The scientist answered. "We await your orders for the transfer."

"Good, we will have a fighting chance against the Autobots and the Decepticons." Silas smirks evilly. He walks over to the computer to see the systems were online. "Let's see how our project can do." He said.

Silas and the scientist left the platform as the other scientists work on the Protoform for the transfer. They were able to get a perfect specimen to be use on the Protoform. But there's a problem, they needed the specimen half alive to make a transplant, a transplant of mind and soul.

And inside the pod was a teenage Japanese girl, who was covered in bandages and an oxygen mask on, she was breathing, but slowly. She was taken from her home and was use as a test subject to power their new weapon, Silas saw potential on her and made sure that she survives the accident that he and his men made to get her. The accident was the reason why she was in the coma, she wouldn't wake up in her body anymore, but in a new one that Silas and his men would control.

But they didn't know that she has more potential hidden inside.

Okay, I fished with this chapter and now to the next one. The Protoform came from the Transformers Prime episode "Armada".
