Here's the next chapter of this story, and thank you for the people that were patient, and to all who cared, and sorry for not realizing that there were others who cared about my problems. I changed chapter 7 and 8 since I had a feeling that the story wasn't right.

And Mariah, the predacons are base in the Transformers Prime series. thank u, Gabriel, for telling me the song for the Little Girl and Dinosaurs. And I don't know when I will do that artwork that you ask me to do. It looks hard.

And I saw the trailer of Jurassic World: The Lost Kingdom and Graboid 6, they were cool but Jurassic World was better.

Without my PM, I didn't have any distractions with my school or writing, I always receive messages like 'Is it don yet?' or 'Can you post the next chapter now.' And so on. It was giving me a hard time, but now, without it, I can finally write freely without distraction.

But if someone wants a request on my PM, I will tur it back on. But I out ground rules on my PM.

Rule 1: I will accept request. If they want me to draw only up to five for one person.

Rule 2: No one should force me when or what to post. I won't accept people forcing me to do, or asking me what story I'm going to do, I am not giving spoilers. Someone in my PM always tells me to put her OC to have all the attention and tell me what to do. That was the reason why I turn off my PM for the first place.

Rule 3: No arguing on the review or start a fight, my cousin had to break up a fight with Goji and Firelotusprime, and TFPfan had to stop Firelotusprime and Oragonking from starting a fight because Firelotusprime can't ignore a criticism.

And rule number 4: I will ignore the ones who broke rule number 2, I won't reply, and if three rules are broken, I will delete the OC request off my stories.

Are we clear? If so, that is final. I don't know when I will open my PM but soon. Remember these rules, especially the ones who started fights or has no patients.

Enjoy the chapter

Chapter 9: Long Lost Hope

Ravage and his brothers were being checked by Sage, the medic of the island, and she made sure that they were healthy enough to leave Mercury. Rumble and Frenzy were flirting at Sage as she checks their vitals and their sparks, she nods her head as she checks for any changes in their system. Skyhowl was watching them from the sidelines as Sage finished checking on them.

"Well, everything is in order." Sage said. "Now, you three can explore your new home. Skyhowl, make sure to keep an optic on them, especially these two." She points at the sparked twins. The two casually waved at Sage as she walked out. "Show them around the island, bring them back before dark." She said as she went out.

Skyhowl looks at the trio as they look at her, "So…do you want to look around?" she asked them.

They nodded as they got off from their berths and headed out. Mercury opens his doors for them as they step outside. The trio shielded their optics from the bright light before adjusting them and then they gawked in shock and amazement when they saw a beautiful and lush jungle. The island was filled with so much life, Ravage was curious about the predacons that lived here before he and his brothers followed Skyhowl to a dormant volcano that has a big opening. They went towards an entrance and saw many energon crystals on the walls. They were shocked and amazed but soon became more shocked and amazed when they entered the clearing to see many predacons!

Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy were shocked to see all of them and noticed that there were small fleshlings with Saphira, in her predacon mode, as they followed her to the cave. Saphira saw Skyhowl with Ravage and his brother before transforming into her bot mode.

"Ah, Skyhowl, how's our guests?" Saphira asked kindly.

Skyhowl bowed at her. "They are doing well, Saphira. They wanted to explore the island."

Saphira nodded before looking at the fleshlings by her side. "Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, these are Valentina, Damien, Quinn, Gem, and Aggie." She points at the fleshlings beside her. "And these are their friends Celestia, Pluto, Cuddles, Summer, Monica, and Rocco."

"Hi." Val greeted.

"How are ye?" Aggie joins in.

"Nice to meet you." Quinn added.

The kids greeted them, and Ravage was confused about these fleshlings, Rumble and Frenzy, on the other hand, were curious about them. The twin minicons came to them and were curious about the fleshlings.

"Hey, I'm Rumble, and this is Frenzy." Rumble introduced as he pointed at Frenzy. He then points at Ravage. "And this Ravage is my older brother."

Val looks at Ravage curiously and says. "You look like a cat."

Ravage blinks at her in surprise, she doesn't think he's scary? He then notices Damien snickering. "Oh, man, she called him a cat." He mutters to himself.

Ravage did some research about cats when Damien said that. Turns out, there are many cats in the animal kingdom, and the one that Val was talking about is a domesticated cat. So, Val and Damien think that he's a house cat? Not funny, at all.

"I am not one of those domesticated cats." Ravage said in annoyance.

Gem looked at him and said. "He's right, he's more of a panther than a domesticated cat."

Val blinks at Ravage and says. "Oh, sorry."

Ravage was surprised to hear an apology so quickly. Ravage clears his vents and turns away a bit. "Yeah, okay." He mutters out.

Skyhowl smiles at him with her eyes closed. "Awe, that's so sweet." She said.

Ravage blushed a little and tried to hide it. Rumble and Frenzy snickers at him in amusement. "Oh, man, if Laserbeak was here, she would probably laugh at you, Rav." Rumble said before he became sad, he remembers Laserbeak and Soundwave. He missed them so much.

Saphira notices the sadness of Rumble and has an idea. Saphira turns to the kids and says. "Why don't you show them around? You younglings know about this island more than us."

Val smiles happily and turns to the three. "Come on! We'll show you the best places!" Val said as she ran off with Celestia following her.

"Val, wait!" Gem calls to her cousin before chasing after her. The others followed them towards the exit, leaving a smiling Saphira. The kids show Ravage and his brothers the island's beauty. The kids show them the best places, the waterfall, the hot-springs, the beach, hidden caves, and the snowy areas. Rumble and Frenzy enjoyed the snow area as they played snowballs with the Ice Predacon Sparklings but ended up being buried in the snow and some adult predacons had to dig them out. Ravage would keep an optic on them, because his brothers get into a lot of trouble.

Once the tour was over, they headed back to Predacon Square, aka the big dormant volcano, and rested on the soft grass. Damien was teaching Rumble and Frenzy how to do cards. Ravage was sitting beside Skyhowl as they watched the kids play a bit. Val and her little creatures were napping on the soft grass while Aggie, Quinn, and Gem had a girl talk. Ravage notices Rocco looking at him, he always finds the ferret strange.

"What are you looking at?" Ravage mutters at Rocco.

"You, kitty boy." Rocco spoked sarcastically.

Ravage jumped in shock with a loud yell. That caught everyone's attention and Ravage looks at Rocco with wide and shocked eyes as he points a claw digit at him. "How can you talk! Creatures on Earth don't talk!"

"Ah, correction, I was once a powerful wizard named-" Before Rocco could finish his sentence when Gem beat him to it, but her explanation was in a dull tone.

"He was once called a wizard named Rocco Smitchetz, which is a ridiculous last name. He was the 'greatest' wizard of them all." Gem finger quoted the 'greatest' and continuous. "Then a Shaman named Zosia turned him into a ferret after she stopped his stupid plan by turning all humans into animal slaves. And she locked him up in a cage and gave him to a Witch Doctor named Devlin Skull, who is a friend of ours."

Ravage and his brothers looked at her in confusion as she added. "Long story."

"Wait, there's magic here?" Ravage asked.

"Ya got that right." Said a malicious voice. Ravage turned around and his optics widen to see a blue human femme, checking her sharp nails. She glanced at him and smirks at him smugly. "What's wrong? Cat got your glossa?"

Ravage blinks at her with a confused and shocked expression on his face. Gem looks at Ravage and says. "That's Dark Twilight, she's Val's evil clone that can use dark and evil magic. And she's kind of Val's bodyguard."

"A demonic kind of bodyguard." Dark added with a devious smile.

"If you're a clone, where did you even come from?" Rumble asked Dark curiously.

Dark looks at him with an evil wide grin on her face.

*Five minutes later*

"And that's how I came to the world, killing people and shits, and all." Dark said with a grin.

Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy had their mouths dropped and were shaking in fear and disgust, Rumble and Frenzy were clinging to Ravage in fear. Their optics sometimes twitched as they tried to delete what they process but couldn't. Quinn made a facepalm, Aggie was covering her mouth with both of her hands, Gem and Damien cringed when they heard the story again, while Val and her creature friends had their ears covered with their hands/paws. Dark Twilight enjoys tormenting her victims. Skyhowl shook her helm at Dark before looking at Ravage, who looked at Ravage.

"I am so sorry about Dark Twilight's behavior. She always causes trouble." Skyhowl explains to Ravage, who was calming down.

Dark laughed and said. "Oh, come now, everyone loves it when I'm around."

"They cowered in fear when they saw you." Skyhowl said.

Dark shrugs. "Not all of them, huntress, witch, kiddo, and kiddo's cousin doesn't fear me." Dark said.

"That's because they know how to deal with you." Skyhowl said with a sigh.

Dark snorts. "Pfft, at least Shetan understands my way." She said.

Gem, Quinn, Aggie, and Skyhowl groaned in annoyance. Ravage was confused on who this Shetan was. "Who is Shetan?"

"Shetan is a Babadook." Gem said, "And is my familiar."

"What?" Ravage and his brothers asked in unison.

Quinn looks at Gem and nodded. Gem nodded and took out her black dagger and said. "Shetan, unleash the nightmare!" Gem summons Shetan from the shadows. Shetan comes out and the three minicons stared at him in shock.

"Wow!" Rumble and Frenzy exclaims as they went over to Shetan and started poking him, which annoyed Shetan.

"Are there more magic?" Ravage asked the kids. The kids looked at each other and nodded as they called out their familiars.

"Come on Ouranós!"

"Amalthea, take the spotlight!"

"Araceli, stand by for battle!"

"It's pranking time Triple Ds!"

The kids called out their familiars

The magical Familiars came out as they looked at the new members of the island. Rumble and Frenzy awed at them while poking at Shetan, who was getting angry. Quinn notices this and says. "Stop poking Shetan, he's getting mad."

The two minicons stopped poking the angry Shetan as Rumble waves his servo at her. "Ah, relax, he doesn't seem to mind."

Then suddenly a shadow looms down at the two minicons. Ravage's optics widened in shock while the others made the looks, minus Val, her little creatures, and Dark. Dark was grinning like a maniac with her arms crossed. Rumble and Frenzy were confused before turning around, their optics widened in horror to see a black dragon with white eyes that bore a hole into their very spark. The dragon was actually Shetan, who got pissed by the two minicons and wanted payback. Shetan reared his head before letting out a loud roar on Rumble and Frenzy, who hugged each other and screamed like little girls. Once he stopped, the two ran towards Ravage and hid behind him in fear.

Dark Twilight laughs in amusement, "Oh man. You two should see your pathetic faces!" She exclaims happily. "Shetan should do this every day!"

Gem groans. "Dark, please don't encourage him!" She whines.

Dark waves at her. "You worry so much, Shetan is like a brother to me when we met."

*Flashback few weeks ago*

Val and Dark Twilight were at the Jurassic World's hidden beach, Val wanted Dark to meet her friends' Familiars. Dark was sitting on a rock, checking her nails with a bored expression on her face. Val was beside her as she looked at her bodyguard, wondering if she's okay.

"How much more do I have to wait for?" Dark asked boringly.

Val was about to speak when she saw her friends with Vida and Devlin coming out of the corner. "There here." She said with a smile.

Dark looks up and sees Vida before she glares at her and she glares back. "Hello, Huntress." Dark greeted sarcastically.

"Demon." Vida replied dangerously.

The two continue glaring at each other before turning away with their arms crossed. The kids blinked at them while Devlin shook her head at the two, they two hated each other when they fought at Mortem's island, even though Dark is now Val's protector, Vida and Dark hated each other's guts until the very end.

"Call your familiars, so Dark can meet them." Devlin said to the kids.

The kids nodded and called out tehri familiars. Dark watches plainly as she sees a Pegasus, a Unicorn, a Griffin, a Chimera, and…a Babadook? Dark looks at Shetan the babadook. She remembered correctly that Babadook loves to terrify its victims if they don't believe in him. The victims would slowly lose their minds and eventually kill themselves, and Dark like it. Grinning like an evil being, Dark went over to Shetan, who blinked at her, and said to him.

"You and I are going to be best of friends."

"So that's how you two met." Ravage mutters as Rumble and Frenzy shake in fear at Shetan's dragon form.

Dark laughs happily. "I know right? Best day ever!" She grins.

The kids, minus Val, sigh in annoyance. Then Aquarius came to them, they looked at her as she made her way towards them. Rumble and Frenzy looked at her dreamily, finding the predacon femme.

"Hi Aquarius!" Val waves at the predacon femme, who waved back.

Ravage turns to Skyhowl. "Who is she?"

"That's Aquarius, she's the adopted sparkling of our leader, Saphira. She is kind and brave, and she is a hybrid." Skyhowl said.

Ravage was confused. "Aquarius is a what?"

"A hybrid. Back at Cybertron, before the great cataclysm, hybrids were forbidden on the planet. If any predacons from different clans crossspark with one another, then they will be sentenced to be offline. Skyhowl said sadly. "It was never a safe place to live, we were glad that we stayed at Saphira's territory. Her territory allows hybrids to live while others wanted them dead."

Ravage looks at her with pity, he guessed that no one in Cybertron can have happy lives. Like him and his family, they suffered a lot. Ravage and his siblings were forced to be gladiator fights with their creator, Soundwave. They fought other gladiators for survival and they had little amount of energon to eat. When the war broke, they thought they were winning, but they soon ended up being killed by Autobots. They couldn't go to the Well of Allspark, they were in a blank world with no way out until they saw a golden light that brought them back to life. And because of that, they have a new beginning.

"We are not all different after all." Ravage said. Skyhowl looks at him with wide eyes. "We all have painful past, but it all can be changed in the future."

Skyhowl made a small smile on her faceplate at Ravage who slowly smiled back. He felt his spark beat irregularly when Skyhowl smiled at him. Dark Twilight leans at the background and looks at the two with a blank look on her face with her arms crossed. She finds it repulsive yet amusing to watch.

"Wow, I guess kitty-cat is in love." Dark said mockingly.

Ravage heard this and nearly blushed before turning to her and yelled. "I am not!" Ravage realizes what he said and tries to say it right. "I mean, well…uh, never mind!" He exclaims with his face blushing blue. Rumble and Frenzy, who were still hiding behind him, snickered, but stopped when he gave them a warning growl.

Aquarius was standing beside Val and her little creatures. She blinks at the scene before clearing her vents, causing them to look at her. "My carrier and Diamond Silk wish to speak with you all." She said.

"Why?" Aggie asked curiously.

"Did someone die?" Dark asked plainly.

Aquarius looked at Dark in shock before shaking her helm. "Uh, no." Dark shrugs and lets out a 'meh' as Aquarius continues. "They wish to speak to you about the other lands of Earth."

"Why do they need to know?" Quinn asked.

"Because, they want the predacons to learn more about their new home from the outside."

Done, I know it's not much, but I tried. Now, remember the rules that I left out. Someone my deviantart told me about one of my PM user, the one who always pushing me around, was getting lonely due to fact I turn off my PM. I told her no more questions or spoilers or even favors. I gave her chances yet blew it again. But this is my final warning to her, I can open my PM IF she promised not to nagging me or begging me to chat with her.

Our time periods are different. USA's morning is my country's night and our country's morning is the USA's night. I didn't get a good night sleep because of that and I get tired in my classes and nearly falling asleep.

Do I make myself clear?

D is signing off.
