Okay, here's the new changes of this chapter.

Chapter 8: Minicons Arrival

Inside the Nemesis, Breakdown was looking at the hideous creature that Tarn and he brought to the ship. It was lying on a berth and has a gaping hole on its chest. Knockout has been studying it for Megacycle (weeks) now and has no idea what the frag the creature is. Breakdown carefully looks at it, the creature was uglier than Starscream, yet it was capable in battle, like if it was hunting. Breakdown snaps out of his thoughts when the door slid open to reveal Megatron and Knockout. The two went over to the dead creature and Breakdown steps back a bit.

"Knockout, tell me what you learned about this creature?" He asked rather rudely.

Knockout looks at his datapad and said. "It appears that this creature has this strange energy signature." He explains, "I'm still trying to find out what species it is."

"Keep searching, I want to know why it is here and where did it came from." Megatron ordered as he glares down at Knockout, who flinch in fear. Meanwhile, Breakdown looks at the creature suspiciously and notices something about the hole on its chest. He could see a black like string attached itself on the other side of a hole before more came in mere seconds. Breakdown was startled by this.

"What in the-" he was cut off when the hole was soon became whole and the creature lets out a powerful roar. Megatron and Knockout turned to it in shock before it jumps out of the room while Megatron and Breakdown shoots at it, but they miss. The creature runs through halls like a tiger, roaring at any Vehicon that it passes by. It runs through the halls, trying to escape until it stumbles upon a room with stasis pods. Growling, the creature stalks over to the stasis pods and saw three beings inside three pods. He sniffs at them each, smelling life, yet a whiff of death, it lifts a claw and was ready to stab, but was shot in the back by Laserbeak. It snaps at Laserbeak and roars at her before charging at the little drone. It tried to slash her, but Laserbeak avoids its claws. Then Soundwave's tentacles came and hits the creature in the face and stomach. It slams into a wall and glares at Soundwave, Soundwave was standing on the door and shows now emotion on his mask like visor.

The creature glares at him before letting out a roar and charges at him. Soundwave dodges its attack on time. Growling in rage, the creature slashes at Soundwave, but the Communication Officer was fast and dodge all its attack. Then Megatron came with Tarn and Breakdown, they fired at the creature, it dodges it but got hit by Megatron and the creature crashes to a control that made the three stasis pods to be removed from it place and into earth's water. Soundwave saw this and his spark snaps. He charges the creature in a blinding fury as he punches it on its face then kicks its stomach before pinning it to the ground with one of his servos and punching it none stop. His mind was filled with rage, his minicons'/sparklings' body were there! The three of the pods have them, they were the only things he had left of them! Soundwave continues punching it till its face is deformed until Megatron pulls him out.

"Enough Soundwave!" Megatron ordered.

Soundwave stops and looks at the dead creature's face. Its tongue was out while its face was half destroyed, black slimes leeks out of its face and mouth. Knockout went over to the creature's body before analyzing it, it shows that the creature was healing slowly.

"Lord Megatron, the creature appears to be healing itself." Knockout said in shock.

Tarn went over to the dead body and fires at it on the chest, Knockout yelped because he was close to it, and the hole was back on its chest. "That will take time to heal." Tarn said as he picks up the creature.

"How is it possible?" Breakdown asked. "We saw it being killed in the forest, but how can it come back to life?"

"I am not certain, but maybe the creature might have healing factor hidden in its system, preventing from dying."

Megatron thinks about the creature, maybe its hidden codes can make a healing factor for his army, they will unstoppable. "Continue studying that creature, we can use its healing factors for my army." Megatron turns and leaves before glancing at Soundwave, the silent was looking at where the pods were. "Soundwave, return to your quarter when you are done." Megatron said.

Soundwave just nodded before Megatron, Knockout, Breakdown and Tarn, who was dragging the corpse, left the room, leaving a quiet Soundwave. Laserbeak flies back to her creator and returns to his chest. He turns and leaves, but not before looking over the room again. His Minicons, Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy, were inside those stasis pods, they were killed in battle on Cybertron…their deaths were the most painful thing inside his spark when he remembers their death. He did heal when he met someone at Japan, she was his light, but she's gone, like his minicons. Soundwave turns away and the door sealed close, leaving the room in total darkness.

But Soundwave didn't know that the three pods were drifting towards the location of the island where Predacons live.

At Antarctica, Angel was talking to her cousins about their mother, Alma, and their grandmother, Vanessa. Alma's real name was Almalya and she was like their grandmother, Vanessa, but as a child, she was like Val. She was a brilliant girl and was accepted in many colleges and universities. Alma made friends and some enemies in her past, but she was able to fight back and outsmarts them. Angels creator, Anna, was one of Alma's best friend and the two worked together to make environmental friendly energy. Antony and Val listens to their cousin very carefully while Damien looks at Angel dreamily.

Gem walks over to him and gave him a blank look. "Damien, stop flirting on my cousins' cousin."

Damien didn't take his eyes out from Angel. "I know, but she's so pretty." He said.

"Damien, she's a teenager and she's probably not interested in dating you." Gem added.

Damien's eyes widen in realization. "Oh yeah…dang it." Damien mutters out in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Val was talking to her Angel about Isola Della Vita. "And there's a lot of magical plants, and we brought Predacons from a planet called Cybertron." Val said to Vanessa happily.

Angel smiles at her. "Ah, I see that you and your friends have found the island that Aretha created."

"Wait." Aggie went over to Angel, "Are ye telling us that Val's great-great grandmother made the island?" She asked in shock.

"Yes, Aretha's magic is about life, she created the island as a haven for her from the danger of the outside world."

"Hmmm, smart woman." Dark Twilight commented. "By the way, how did Aretha die?"

Angel looks at Dark with an unfazed look. "Why do you want to know about the death of Val's and Antony's great-grandmother?"

"I'm just asking." Dark said as she checks her nails.

Angel pats her cousin's head. "Aretha died in the year eighteen hundred." She explains, "Vanessa just turned eighteen when her mother died, but she didn't die how humans do. No, Galatrias die differently."

"How do they die?" Damien asked.

Angel answered to them magically. "They become the stars above." She said. "The Galatrias became the stars and watch over their family above. Aretha watches over Vanessa and your mother watches over you two." She looks at her cousins.

Val smiles, "I wish I could see mommy again." She said a bit sadly.

Angel smiles at her gently and said. "She's always with you and Antony, in here." She placed her hand on her chest, where her heart is. Val and Antony smiled at her before Antony's communicator rings. He picks it up and reads the message, he nodded and turns towards Lazro.

"Lazro, we are needed in the base." Antony said, "Captain Solomon has assigned us on a mission to escort some prisoners to Klyn, the Nova Core needs assistance on this escort."

Lazro nodded in understanding before looking at Angel and bowed, "We will cut this short. We'll be back and visit you all in the island."

"I know, it is your job as Galaxy Knights to protect the galaxies." Angel said. "I will bring you two to your jets." She added, the two Galaxy Knights nodded as Angel snaps her fingers and teleports the two Galaxy Knights and the Kippy to their jets. Angel looks at the kids and said. "It's time for you kids to go home."

They nodded before Val looks at the Scrapltes. The Scraplets were looking at them curiously. "Can we bring them to Isola Della Vita? They can be pets for the Predacons."

"Or their lunch." Dark mutters out with an amused smirk.

Angel ignores Dark and smiles at her cousin, "Okay. But you should send them a message, you don't want them to be scared, do you?"

Val nodded happily, and Quinn took out her communication device that she can call Foxtrot with. She sends the message ad explanation to Foxtrot, in a few seconds later, a message replies back, Foxtrot agrees they can bring them in. Val walks over to her cousin and asked. "Are you coming with us?"

Angel shook her head, "I'm sorry, Val. But I have to stay here for a while." Val was saddened by news. "However, I can visit you when I have the time."

Val smiles happily as she hugs her cousin's legs. Angel smiles as she pats Val's head gently, as they let go, they walked towards the hanger and Val activates her portal powers and opens a portal to Isola Della Vita. They waved goodbye at Angel, Mystica, and Morphy before they went in with the Scraplets. They were inside of Mercury and Foxtrot was there with the wolf predacon beside her. Foxtrot looks at the Scraplets as they looked at her before blinking unison at the orange femme predacon.

"Took you long enough." Foxtrot said. "I hope you have an explanation about Val's cousin."

"It's a long story, Foxtrot, long story." Quinn said with a grin.

Meanwhile, Aquarius was swimming on the ocean with some predacons in their beast modes, they could swim outside of the island but stayed close, just in case. Aquarius swims elegantly on the water as she passes some reef bellow her, she saw something glint under the sand. Stopping for a second, Aquarius swims back to the reef and saw three objects under the sand. Curious, Aquarius swims down to get a closer look, she uses her fin-tail to swipe the sands away to reveal three stasis pods. Aquarius turns into her bot mode and looks at the three stasis pods, she saw three Cybertronians inside of each pod, mainly a black robotic panther and spark-twins, one red and black, and the other is purple and blue, they both have red visors and they seem to be offline. Looking at them again, Aquarius swims back up and lets out a whale like call, to get other Aquatic Predacons to come. Once they heard her, they swam towards her call and help her what she needs. She points her snout down at the reef, where the stasis pods are. The Aquatic Predacons nodded, and three shark predacons swam down and each of them retrieved each stasis pods on their jaws, but they must be careful not to damage them before they all swam back up towards the hidden passages on the island. They reach to the surface and the shark predacons put the stasis pods on the land before transforming to their bot forms along with the others. Aquarius gets out of the water as she inspects the three stasis pods curiously. Then Saphira came to them with Dimond Silk, and the kids.

"Aquarius, what did you and the others found?" Saphira asked.

"Carrier, I found these stasis pods near the reefs." Aquarius explains.

Then Diamond Silk went over to the pods and inspects them, she narrows her optics at the pods before wiping off some sands on one of the pods' side and gasps when she saw the Decepticon Insignia. She backs away and readies her arm blasters at the pods. "These are Deceptcion pods!"

The predacons became defensive as they were ready to attack. They know about the Decepticons because Diamond Silk and her crew told them what they did on their planet long ago. But Val was curious and went over to the pods and looks at them curiously.

"Valentina, get away from those pods!" She heard Diamond Silk voice, but Val went over to the pods and touch the one with a panther inside. She could feel a weak spark inside, and then her eyes turned into sclera, and saw the pod inside was a black robotic panther with red optics fighting what appears to be a stadium for gladiators. Val saw his family and then his death on the battle field of a war. Val lets go and looks at the two other pods. She knows that his brothers are in there, but where's their father and sister?

"Valentina? What did you see?" Saphira asked gently as she kneels-down at Val's height.

"They're family." Val said. "They were in a war and then they went out."

Diamond Silk lowers her arms and said, "They are offline."

"I think so, but I could feel them, I think they can't wake up." Val said innocently.

"Don't wake them up." They heard Foxtrot. They turn around and saw her with the wolf predacon beside her. "They are Minicons of the Decepticons."

"Foxtrot? How do you know this?" Saphira asked as Foxtrot walked over to the pods with the wolf predacon following her. Foxtrot was in front of the three pods as she looks at them blankly.

"I know these minicon, before we left Cybertron, I was on a mission to retrieve some files of my old lab when I saw these minicons killing Autobots for their entertainment. I temporally put them in stasis when I fought them to leave."

The predacons looked at the minicons suspiciously. They shouldn't allow them to leave after what Foxtrot told them on what these Minicons did. But then Val steps in. "You can't let them be dead."

"What do you mean?" Foxtrot asked suspiciously.

Val gestured the pods. "You said that the Decepticons were once citizen in Cybertron but were in the lower class. I saw their past, they didn't have a happy life. I know Decepticons are bad, but can we give them a chance to live? For them to have a new beginning."

The predacons began whispering to each other, thinking it was a good idea but some thinks it's a bad idea. Diamond Silk looked over to Foxtrot, who looks at her. The two looked over to Saphira as the wise predacon process everything what Val has said. With wisdom in her eyes, Saphira nodded at the two Cybertronian femmes and they nodded back. Saphira made a loud 'TAP!' on her spear to silent everyone, which it did. They all look at their leader and the two Cybertronian femmes, there was a brief silence before Foxtrot said. "You can heal them, but they are being watch until we can trust them."

Val nodded before looking at the pods. She could feel weird energy in her veins, but doesn't understand how to use it, I mean, she's still learning. That, until, she heard her mother's voice whispering into her mind. "Believe in yourself, my child."

Val closes her eyes and took a deep breathe, she felt a swirl of energy in her veins, golden dragon markings appeared on her arms, legs and face. She let out a stream of golden energy to the minicons. That energy alone healed them in mere seconds. Once she was finished, her markings disappeared and the stasis pods open, they watched as the minicons flinched a bit, knowing everyone that they are alive. Saphira looks towards some mech predacons and nodded at them, they nodded back as they picked up the minicons an took them to Mercury, followed by Diamond Silk, Foxtrot, the wolf predacon, and Saphira. They entered Mercury and brought them to the medbay before placing them on the berths. The mech predacons left and the femmes did their work as they watched the minicons recharging in peace. The wolf predacon was besides Foxtrot again. Foxtrot looks at the purple and blue minicon carefully before noticing the wolf predacon looking at her. She glanced at the predacon and looks at Saphira.

"Saphira? Dose this predacon has something against me?" Foxtrot asked annoyed as she tries to avoid the predacon looking at her.

Saphira looks at the wolf predacon and said. "That's Skyhowl, Foxtrot. She has nothing against you, she's curios about your work and wishes to learn from you."

Foxtrot looks at Skyhowl, the wolf predacon gave her the eyes, which was working a little since she looks like an overgrow Earth puppy. Sighing, Foxtrot looks at Skyhowl and said. "Fine, she can learn, but she has to keep an optic on that minicon." She points her thumb at the panther minicon.

Skyhowl smiles as she turns into her both form and went over to the panther minicon and checks on him. He was in his bot mode, but his head was like a panther. She was curious about the minicons and wanting to know more about them.

Then panther minicon shifted and flutters his red optics. His optics met Skyhowl's yellow optics. His eyes widen a bit when he met her optics, it felt like he was staring at the yellow sun. The panther tried to get up, but Skyhowl stops him.

"Don't move." She ordered gently, "Your body is not yet fully healed."

The panther just looks at her and asked quietly, "W…who are you?"

"I am Skyhowl and you?"

"R…Ravage,"

The commotion got the others attention and went towards Ravage, Ravage froze when he saw Foxtrot, that femme nearly offline him and his siblings when she was trying to escape. Saphira was the first to speak, "Hello there."

Ravage looks at the beautiful femme, "Who are you?"

"I am Saphira, leader of the surviving predacons." She said before looking at the two unconscious bots, "Who are the other two?"

"They're my brothers." Ravage said, sitting up with the help of Skyhowl, "They're names are Rumble and Frenzy." Ravage pointed at the smaller cybertronians.

Saphira nodded. "Do you remember what happen when you are in the pods with your brothers?"

Ravage rubs his head, "I…I remember being in the Pit of Kaon and was in a war. I felt pain in my T-cog, it was damage, and then…black."

"You don't remember anything else?" Diamond Silk asked Ravage.

Ravage shook his head before asking, "Was there a big mech wearing a mask like visor with us?"

Diamond Silk and Foxtrot looked at each other, they know he was talking about Soundwave, he's the second dangerous mech in Cybertron due to his great fighting technics and combat skills.

But they shook their heads and Diamond Silk said. "No, the shark predacons and Aquarius only found you and your brothers' pods. There was no one else."

Ravage looks down and nodded but then he realizes that his T-cog was feeling okay. He looks at the four females. "What happen to me?"

"Some had healed you." Saphira said with a smile.

Ravage blinks in surprise before asking, "Who?"

"That is classified information." Foxtrot said. "We do not trust you or your brothers yet." She looks at him seriously. "Until then, you and your brothers are staying here, being watched, and if you try to do anything wrong, you'll be offline in mere nanoclicks."

Ravage froze in fear, he read about predacons being the strongest and most dangerous beast of all Cybertron and he fear that he will be offline again, but more painful. Before Ravage could ask anything, his brothers shot up from their berths with loud yelps. Ravage looks at them with wide optics to see them alive! In a flash, he got off from his berth, ignoring the pain on his legs, and rushed over to his brothers. "Rumble, Frenzy, are you two alright?"

"We're fine, Rav." Rumble said. "Except the part that my helm hurts a lot and I'm starving!"

"Me too!" Frenzy agreed. The two then notice that they were in a strange place and then they look over the others before tehri eyes widen when they saw Foxtrot. There was a dead silence until the two hugged each other a screamed like little girls.

"It's the Shedemon!" They screamed unison.

"The she-what?" Saphira repeats in confusion before looking at stern face Foxtrot.

Foxtrot sighs in annoyance and rubs her visors, "It's the nickname they gave me when I put them in stasis for a while." She said before she turns and leave, "We're going to do our jobs now. Skyhowl, keep an optic on those three, understood?"

Skyhowl nodded, "Yes ma'am."

Foxtrot nodded as she, Saphira, and Diamond Silk were about to leave when Ravage suddenly asked. "Where are we?"

The three femmes stopped and looked at Ravage. The young mech wanted to know where he and his brothers are, Foxtrot was the first to answer to him, "This is Isola Della Vita, an island that is now your new home."

Ravage and twins stared at her in surprise and shock on their faceplates, before the three femmes could leave, Foxtrot said something that will make the three minicons remember.

"Welcome to Paradise."

I hope you like the changes, and thanks for the supports that everyone gave me.
