Thank you, Gabriel, for the voice characters in my Moana and the Night Fury crossover story. And Mariah, I can't use that idea about the battle suit of Primus, I have other plans. Goji, I don't play Subnautica, I heard it, but never played it.
I wanted to thank again akana45 for the idea of the Dinobots and TheImmortalRevenant for her Oc Starfleet. You can find TheImmortalRevenant Oc, Starfleet, in her Deviantart. Thank you TheImmortalRevenant from Deviantart for letting me borrow her amazing character, Satrfleet.
And there will be Autobots from the Transformers movies because they look cool. And in this chapter Muraco the Laboan/Werewolf guardian in my Little Girl and Mythical Creatures story is going to be in here. And remember, I rewrite chapter 7 and 8, Val and Antony didn't meet their grandmother yet, I repeat. They didn't meet Vanessa yet.
Chapter 10: Long Lost Hope Part 2
Silas was standing at the edge of the platform as he looked down at the Protoform on the berth. Inside the pod was the Japanese girl, it was keeping her alive but temporarily in order to make the transfer. The transfer means that they will put her mind on the body of the Protoform and use a microchip to control her, like if she was his puppet, but to him. He sees her as a tool of destruction, a new war weapon. Silas walks away towards the computers, showing the girl's pulse and her vitals. The girl will live, but in a different body.
"How's our Sleeping Beauty?" Silas asked the scientist.
The scientist looked at Silas and said, "She's doing fine, sir. In just a few more minutes, she will be ready."
"She'd better be." Silas said as he looked at the monitors. "Prepare the transplant. Project Shinobi must start." He ordered before walking away.
The soldiers prepared the transplant, they attached wires on the Protoform, and attached the other parts or wire on the pod with the Japanese girl inside. One of the scientists types something on the keyboard, revealing the screen to show the two bodies of Protoform and the Japanese girl. The girl has blue energy on her body while the Protoform was blanked. This explains the energy signatures on test subjects, the girl has energy while the Protoform has none, but the transplant will change that. The soldiers move away as the scientist holds the lever and looks at two being below the platform.
"Do it." Silas ordered.
Nodding, the scientist pulled the lever and electric sparks came to the wires and computers. The electric pulse went towards the two beings and shook their bodies. The monitor was beeping loudly as the screen in the computer showed the bodies of the two females, the girl's energy drops and was soon passed to the Protoform. Smokes were coming from the machine as the transplant was nearly done.
"Sir! The machine is overloading. It's going to blow if we don't shut it down." A scientist said.
"No! We are not stopping until the transplant is complete!" Silas ordered loudly.
The monitors beeped loudly, and warning signs appeared on the computers as smokes came from the tech. The screen of the computer shows the Protoform's body was complete with the energy that was transferred by the girl. Soon, the Protoform started to change into a Cybertronian femme with armors that has sky-blue and yellow coloring.
With few more statics, the new Cybertronian femme's optics snapped open, to reveal glowing blue optics, before the computers and engine exploded. MECH soldiers and scientists took cover as smoke covered the whole base. After a while, the smoke slowly cleared, sparks were coming from the broken wires. MECH slowly got up from their hiding spot. The smoke slowly clears to reveal a figure standing in front of the berth. Silas coughs a bit from the smoke as he makes his way towards the figure. Two blue lights came from the figure and the smoke cleared to reveal the femme, standing tall with not emotions in her optics.
Silas walked over to her with no fear or terror in his eyes, as he made his way towards his creation. The soldiers pointed their guns at her, ready to fire if she tried to attack. But she didn't even move, she just stood there, looking at the wall blankly. Silas was in front of her as he looks up to the femme with serious eyes.
"Eyes on me, soldier." He ordered.
The femme looks down at him blankly, her dull optics stared at him with a void of emptiness. Silas smirked, the control chip in her neck was working perfectly. It will help Silas and his men to control her to find and attack any Cybertronian life forms on Earth. But first, she needs to be trained to be a ruthless killer and an obedient soldier.
"Good girl. You will be perfect as our new soldier." Silas smirks evilly before he glances at the pod with the lifeless body of the girl, it's useless to even be here. "Get rid of the body, we got what we need." Silas ordered before turning towards the femme. "You, follow me." Silas command before walking away.
The femme did as she was told and follows Silas like a puppet as a soldier opens the pod and picks up the girl's body bridal style and hides it away, leaving no evidence of her to be found.
"You want us to show the predacons about Earth?" Quinn asked as she and the other kids were in Mercury and are now in the control room with Diamond Silk, Sage, Foxtrot, and Saphira. They were called here so that the predacons can learn about their new home.
Saphira nodded. "Yes. It is for the best considering we barely know about Earth's resources; we need to know by you five."
Sage agrees. "She is right, they have to know your home planet, so they can have advantage against any Decepticons that might come by."
Then Dark Twilight comes out of the ring and stands beside Val, the demonic bodyguard snorts at the idea. "It should be the other way around, Sagie. The Predacons can just burn them to a crisp with their fire and tear them to pieces if they want to. Those Deceptidorks can't stand a chance against the predacons." She said with a grin, imagining the Decepticons being burned to their death.
Foxtrot, who was crossing her arms, shook her helm in annoyance at Dark. "They can do that, but the Decepticons may have upgraded their weapons that can destroy us and the predacons.
Dark shrugs with her arms cross. "Meh, suit yourself." She said dully.
Aggie looks over to Diamond Silk. "If ye all want to know about Earth, ye should look at the Internet to find out more."
"We did, but it's not enough for the predacons to be ready to see the outside world yet." Sage added up.
"So, basically we're giving the predacons around the world tour to see the Earth humans do and stuff?" Damien asked.
"In a way, yes." Diamond Silk said.
Damien grins and says, "So? Which country are we going first?"
"Jamaica!" Rocco said to the corner, wearing a Jamaican beanie hat with black dreadlocks and sunglasses.
Everyone, minus Val, Damien, and little creatures, stared at Rocco blankly, that ferret never learns to keep his mouth shut, which irritates Foxtrot a lot. "What? It's a great start."
"You just want to go there so you can flirt with the girls in their bikinis." Gem said as she rolled her eyes.
"Come on! Jamaica! Jamaica! Jamaica!" Rocco chanted as he sways his body left to right. "Jamaica! Jamaica! Jamai-"
"Mercury." Foxtrot suddenly said. A hidden door appeared on top of Mercury and a glass tube came before trapping Rocco in. Rocco was shocked that he was in the glass tube and started yelling but there was no sound coming from it, the others looked at a mute screaming Rocco in the glass happily.
Gem looked up and asked Mercury. "Soundproof glass?"
"Soundproof glass." Mercury repeated.
"Nice." Gem grins.
Foxtrot clears her vent, and everyone turns to her, "Right. As I was saying, we will need you five to give the predacons a tour of your home."
"Great plan." Dark said sarcastically. "Why don't you let them all be exposed to humanity."
"We are not going to expose them, Dark." Diamond Silk said. "We have gears that can help them blend in their surroundings and hide their signatures to prevent any Decepticons from finding them."
Dark stared at Diamond Silk blankly with her arms still crossed, she almost sounds like Vida, but as an adult robotic kind of way. "Whatever you say, Silkie."
"Please don't call me that." Diamond Silk said in annoyance.
"I do what I want." Dark said a bit rudely.
Diamond Silk sighs in annoyance, Dark almost acts like her sister, Airachnid, but worse and more irritating, "Just please don't make things hard for the predacons."
"I keep no promises." Dark added and Diamond Silk almost face palmed.
Quinn, being the responsible one, asked the adults politely. "So, when should we start the tour?"
"Well, considering that you five have school, we will start on Friday afternoon." Sage suggested.
"That sounds like a good plan, but what about our uncle?" Gem asked, "He'll probably be worried about us if we always go out."
"She's right, our dad will be wondering about us too." Quinn added.
"Jay will probably want some answers about me always going somewhere." Damien rubs the back of his neck.
"Then tell them." Diamond Silk said. The kids turn to her in confusion, weren't they supposed to keep them a secret. Diamond Silk looks at the kids gently, "Your family has the right to know about us, they will understand why we are here, but they must promise they will keep us a secret."
Val smiles happily. "They can keep your secret! They'll promise!"
"Yeah, we're only going to tell Owen, Barry, our dad, Claire, Carl, Wu, and Mr. Masrani." Quinn listed out.
Gem added, "But we're not telling Hoskins about this."
"Definitely not telling Hoskins." Aggie agreed along with the others.
Saphira smiles. "It is settled then, we will be going on a trip with you, young ones."
The kids cheered while Dark just shrugged before returning to the ring. They must make plans on which country they should go first and what they should tell their guardians. Saphira walks towards the outside to announce about their tour with the kids. Diamond Silk, Foxtrot, and Sage went back to work, and prepared themselves for the trip.
Optimus was walking towards Ratchet. The medic was working on a synthetic energon to replace their low supply of energon. They're only hope is that Ratchet can perfect the synthetic energon. Their humans were at school, they will be here a little late since Jack has work, Raf must be home to study for a test, and Miko has detention again. Optimus worries about his family; they need to be ready for any Decepticons from coming. Ever since they came to Earth, they've been fighting Decepticons and searching for any energon to restock their supplies. Then there was an alarm from the computer and Ratchet came to check, the others went to the computer they saw an Autobot identification beacon, the signal is coming from a restricted band near Earth's atmosphere.
"There's an autobot here?" Bulkhead asked in surprise yet happiness.
"It could be a false beacon from a 'con." Arcee said, narrowing her optics.
Optimus looks at the screen and thinks, they do not know if it's a trap or an Autobot that needs help. So, without hesitation, Optimus looked at his team and said. "We must check the area if it's a friend or foe. Ratchet, prepare the med-bay."
Ratchet nodded before he opened the groundbridge to the location where the signal came from. They went in and were in a forest area of Alberta, Canada. There were many trees and plant life, there was even some pack of wolves walking about. They activate their blasters, keeping caution
"Be on your guard." Optimus spoke quietly. They nodded as they searched for the autobot. They make sure that they are in high alert for any signs of Decepticons, Smokescreen was searching around when he saw something watching him, he turns around and saw an animal that the humans called a wolf, but it is not a regular wolf that he sees in the datapads or those nature documentaries the human sparklings watched. The wolf has grey/black fur and a bushy tail, it has three sharp claws on each hand. One of them serves as the thumb, while the others serve as the fingers. The jaw has four hinges and it looks like it can open outward, it almost resembles a human but bigger, and it has claw necklace with two feathers. The strange wolf's yellow eyes look at Smokescreen. The rookie has no idea why the wolf was looking at him, then he notices the wolf turns its head and points its snout on the path ahead before turning around and running off. Smokescreen was confused but decided to follow the direction where the strange wolf was pointing and headed towards it. The others notice this and follow him as they go to a rocky area. As they got close to the trees, they were soon attacked.
"It's an ambush!" Smokescreen yelled as he and the others took cover behind a big rock. They blast towards the direction where the shot came, followed by more shot by their attackers.
"TAKE THAT YOU CONS!" a light 'cockney voice shouted out.
"Cons?" Smokescreen thought when he heard that. He quickly stood and yelled, "WE'RE NOT CONS!"
"OH YEAH, THEN WHAT ARE YA!? MY CARRIER?!" Another voice mocked that sounded almost British.
"WE'RE AUTOBOTS!" Smokescreen yelled as he raised his arms up. The attacked stopped and there was a dead silence, everyone didn't know what's going to happen next until they saw figures coming out from the undergrowth to reveal Ironhide, Sunstrek, Sideswipe, Hound, Crosshair, Drift, Jazz, Prowl, Leadfoot Mudflap and Skids, Hot Rod, Bluestreak, Jolt, Mirage, Topspin, Roadbuster, and Leadfoot.
"No way." Sunstreak said in shock to see other Autobots. "Bee?!"
Bee runs towards Sunstreak and gives him a bear hug as he lets out happy beeps, saying. "Sunstreak! You're alive!"
"Hey, watch the paint!" Sunstreak yelled with a grin.
As Bee let go, the others came to them. Wheeljack and Bulkhead grinned when they saw Topspin, Roadbuster, and Leadfoot, those three are their fellow Wreckers along with Hound and Crosshair.
"How did you guys get here?" Smokescreen asked curiously.
"It wasn't easy." Prowl stated, "It took me vorns to find some refuge, I was lucky to find some, and located Earth where you guys are."
"And now the gang's back together." Ironhide said as he turns his arm to a blaster, "When do we kick some Decepticon afts?" Ironhide grins excitingly.
Optimus placed his servo on Ironhide's shoulder, "In due time, Ironhide, but I think it's best that you all need to be checked by Ratchet."
Sideswipe and Sunstreak groaned in annoyance. "Do we have too?" They both whined like sparklings.
"We have too, otherwise, Ratchet will start lecturing us again." Mirage said.
The Terror Twins grumbled as Optimus comlinks Ratchet, "Ratchet, we require a groundbridge. We have new allies in our base."
A groundbridge opens and they all enter with their comrades for the battle against the war. Smokescreen was about to enter but stopped and turned around to see the strange As the others entered the groundbridge, the strange wolf was standing near a hill, looking at Smokescreen. Smokescreen doesn't know what to say, but if it wasn't for that wolf, he and the others wouldn't meet their comrades. So, slowly lifting a servo, he waves at the wolf with a smile, it sounds strange for him to thank a wolf, but surprisingly, the wolf nodded and ran off somewhere. Smokescreen blinked but shrugs as he enters the groundbridge as it closes. The wolf was running towards the mountain, jumping from logs and bushes before it climbed a tree and jumped off a branch to branch. It then lands on the ground and heads towards a hut. There was an old Native American man, he wears like the clothes of a shaman. There was a staff with feathers and a deer skull was beside him. The wolf went towards the entrance and sat down and lowered its body. It began to shrink, the fur on its body disappeared, the claws and jaws began to shrink.
In a few seconds, the wolf was replaced with a human Native American boy, he's about thirteen years, wearing long tribal pants, shoes, a belt, and the necklace was still on. The old man looked at the boy as he stood up from the ground.
"Muraco, I see you show them their allies." The old man said calmly as he grabbed his staff and stood up.
Muraco nodded and turned to look at the forest from above. "Yes. One of them seems different from the rest." Muraco said before turning to the shaman who is now standing beside him. "Achak, are they going to be a threat to our home?"
Achak shook his head. "No, Muraco, they are here to help the ones in need." He said as he looked to the blue sky. "They have yet to learn about the truth of their home and how the war really happened."
"Why can't you tell them, Achak?" Muraco asked curiously.
Achak turned to him and said mysteriously. "A being of shadow and hate will help them learn the truth." Achak then points his staff at the forest. "Now, go. Patrol the borders to see any intruders try to disturb the balance of nature."
Muraco looked at the forest and nodded before running towards the path in full speed. Achak brought his staff back and looked at the trees, they've gone quiet, no birds chirping. "Darkness is coming to our home." He mutters before turning to the tree lines. "War is coming." Achak said to an unknown hooded figure near the trees.
Val and Celestia were sitting on Daisy's head with her Scraplet named Kirit, floating beside them as they watched Foxtrot and Skyhowl work, the two were checking a weird energy signature, it wasn't from here or anywhere on Earth. Foxtrot's sparkeater, Daisy, was sleeping nearby with Val on her head. Val's friends were planning what country they should go on their trip while making an explanation to their guardians. Foxtrot and Skyhowl were having a problem with the energy signature, Foxtrot thought it was a bug in the system.
"Mistress Foxtrot?" Skyhowl looks at her mentor and Foxtrot looks at her. "This energy signature is getting closer and for some reason it is coming here."
"I know, Skyhowl, but I am not certain if this energy signature is from Earth." Foxtrot said as she walked over to a round and big object connected to the wall of Mercury.
"What is that?" Skyhowl asked, walking towards her.
"A groundbridge," Foxtrot explained. "It was supposed to send bots to any places or planets, but it stopped working after the crash."
"Did you try to fix it?" Val asked as Daisy went over to them.
"Try to but it's still not working." The orange femme said with a sigh.
"Can I help?" Val slides off Daisy's head with Celestia and Kirit, "I can use my powers to fix it."
Foxtrot taps her chin, "That could work." She mutters. "But I don't know if there will be side effects."
"Unknown energy reaching 88%," Mercury's voice echoed in the ship. Foxtrot and Skyhowl went over to the computers to check on the energy signature. Val, on the other hand, went over to the transporter and looked at it. It was very big compared to her and the others, she wonders if the groundbridge can be better used in traveling for the predacons, so that Val wouldn't overuse her portal power. Val walks towards the groundbridge curiously with Celestia and Kirit following her. Val placed her hand on the side of the groundbridge and felt something connected with it. Her ring glowed a bit, meaning Dark Twilight could tell something was wrong.
"Kiddo, there's gonna be trouble." Dark sad through Val's mind. Before Val could think further, her golden dragon markings appeared, Val didn't know what was happening until the bridged started to flicker with electrical sparks. Val, Kirit, and Celestia saw this and backed away quickly as Val's markings started to glow brightly.
"Foxtrot!" Val called the orange femme in fear.
Foxtrot and Skyhowl stopped what they were doing and looked at Val, and then they noticed the bridge starting to open!
"Valentina, get out of there!" Foxtrot yelled out.
But it was too late, the bridge opened suddenly and started to suck anything into it. Foxtrot grabs hold on to the computer and Skyhowl uses her claws to grip on to the ground, preventing her from getting sucked in. Daisy was able to bite a post and hold on. But Val, Celestia, and Kirit weren't so lucky, they were near the portal and were sucked in!
"Valentina!" Foxtrot yelled while Skyhowl watched in horror as Val screamed with Celestia, and Kirit, the three got sucked in the portal and was sent to another area. The bridge shut down completely and the energy was gone. Once the commotion was over, Foxtrot quickly went to the computer and tried to find Val, Kirit, and Celestia, but their signatures couldn't be found.
"Skyhowl! Call the others, now!" Foxtrot orders.
Nodding, Skyhowl transforms into her beast mode and runs off to call for help. Foxtrot types on the controls as she tries to find the three signatures. She just hopes she could find them before something happens.
She just hopes.
Val, Celestia, and Kirit were screaming on top of their lungs as they continued to fall on the swirling vortex. Kirit was clinging on Celestia and Celestia was hugging Val with her life, they saw light from the end. They soon got out of the portal and they landed roughly on solid metal ground. When the portal closes behind them, Val sits up quickly and rubs her behind as she looks around.
She was in a wasteland full of destroyed metal buildings and streets, Val knows she's in Cybertron. Her eyes widen when she realizes that there is no oxygen on this planet, but for some reason, she could breathe easily. Val was confused before turning towards Celestia and her eyes widened in shock to see Celestia struggling to breathe the atmosphere.
"Celestia!" Val exclaims as she rushes towards her dragon and holds her close.
Kirit was worried about Celestia as the dragon hatchling was struggling to breathe. Val's eyes began to water as Celestia was struggling to breathe, then suddenly, Celestia's crystal flashed a light and Celestia gasped before she breathed normal, adjusting to the new air source. Celestia looks at Val, looking okay, and Val hugs her dragon close. Kirit joins in the hug, knowing that his friend is okay. Dark Twilight got out of the ring and looked around.
"This place looks like shit." She mutters, kicking some dirt. "Who knew they could cause this much damage?"
Val stood up with Celestia in her arms and Kirit still hugging Celestia. Val tries to open her portal power, but for some reason it wouldn't let her. "Dark, somethings wrong with my powers."
"No duh, and there's no way I can teleport us back." Dark pointed out.
"Why not?"
"Because it's too far on Earth. And I didn't get a chance to study the portal to let us go back home." Dark answered.
"What are we going to do?" Val asked Dark Twilight.
Dark looks around and notices a building that's half destroyed yet looks okay to live on. "We should go rest there, I'll try and contact the others." Dark said before she slowly turns into a big wolf with dark blue markings. "Get on, kiddo." Dark sends a telepathic message to Val.
Nodding, Val gets on Dark with Celestia and Kirit. Dark stands and runs towards the building, the three little ones hold on to Dark as she dodges many falling parts of buildings, she jumps over to pipes, climbing off rubbles, and runs towards a long bridge. The bridge was long and is connected to another city. Val recognizes the city from Sage's lectures, the city is called Kaon. Kaon was the industrial heart of Cybertron, where nameless members of the low castes toiled endlessly. Even back then, Kaon was a dark, smoking mess of a city that was impossible to navigate without the Communication Grid. Val remembers that Sage told her the High Council ignored the emerging gladiatorial combat in the areas surrounding Kaon, acknowledging it was the inhabitants' only escape in their lives. And then Megatron took control of the gladiators and formed the Decepticons, making Kaon their base of operation.
They entered the city and Val, Celestia, and Kirit saw a big mech statue, he had a big arm cannon on his right arm, showing off his power. Val and Celestia felt scared when she saw that statue, they know that mech is Megatron. He looks scary and he has a serious temper. Dark twilight entered the building, it was rundown, but it was still standing. Dark runs pass some scattered weapons, rubble, and some holes. She jumps over a hole and heads towards a room, she stops when she and the others see some pods destroyed or not. Dark walks towards them and Val could feel two presences on two pods at the corner, Dark went to it and let the little ones get off her. The group saw dinosaur robots in stasis. One was a grey Velociraptor with yellow/gold feathers and claws. And the other one was a red and black Spinosaurus. They can tell they were both females and were in stasis for a long time. Val was about to touch one and then suddenly her golden dragon markings appeared, causing a gold static to touch the pod. That static caused the pods to glow and opened.
Val gasps in shock as Dark, still in her wolf form, grabs the back of Val's hoodie and brings Celestia and Kirit on her back as she jumps over rubble to take cover. The room was covered in steam as two giants got out of their pods, the two shook their bodies and looked at each other.
"Who are you?" asked the female Velociraptor.
"Arma, you?" the Spinosaurus answered in a rude tone.
"Starfleet!" the Velociraptor said in an energetic voice.
"…Right." Arma rolled her red optics.
Val peeks a bit, Dark was still in her wolf form as Celestia and Kirit were trying to peek through the rubble. Kirit was about to fly when he accidentally bumped into some pieces of metal that fall, causing a loud 'CLANG!'. The two femmes sharply looked at the pod where the others were hiding.
"What was that?!" Starfleet asked in surprise.
"Don't know, but let's find out." Arma growled as she started stalking towards the spot and Starfleet followed Arma's advice and stalked over to the spot as well. Val, Celestia, and Kirit begin to be scared when Dark turns into her regular form and jumps out from the hiding spot.
"Yo!" Dark gave them a wink.
"Who the frag are you?!" Arma asked rudely.
Dark made a mocking bow. "Dark Twilight, demonic clone and bodyguard of Valentina." She introduces herself.
"Who?" Arma asked in confusion.
Dark smirks and lifts her index finger, Val was lifted from the ground and was floating in midair. "This is Valentina, but she can be called Val."
Amara looks at Val in shock as if she never saw a human before, which is true. Dark brings Val to her and carries her out. Starfleet was in front of them with a smile.
"Hello!" Starfleet greeted cheerfully.
Val didn't greet back instead she looked at her with wide and shocked eyes. She didn't know robot dinosaurs could talk, the predacons at the island never talked in their beast form just their bot form. Val looks at the two femmes peering down at her.
"Is that a human?" Arma looks at Val in shock.
"Yup." Dark said casually.
"She's sooooo cute!" Starfleet chirps happily.
"Humans can't live here." Arma informed. "There's no oxygen."
Dark smirks and chuckles. "Kiddo is no ordinary human, she's different."
"Different how?" Arma asked, narrowing her optics.
"Kiddo here, belongs to an ancient alien race that died many years ago but one of them escaped and started a family with a human to make the blood line continue." Dark explains as she sets Val down.
"Hmph… that would explain her breathing here." Arma snorts. "So, how did you get here?"
Dark explained everything to Arma and Starfleet everything how they got here by Foxtrot's bridge that went crazy. Arma and Starfleet listen to her as she finishes.
"Will your friends bring you back?" Arma asked.
"Don't know, but I'm sure Foxy has a plan for it." Dark said.
"Can't Val just make a portal with her powers?" Starfleet tilts her head.
"Tried to, but her powers are preventing her from doing it." Dark said.
"Why?" Arma asked.
"I don't know, maybe she has to do something like a dumb quest." Dark stated dully.
"So…what is her quest?" Starfleet lowered her snout.
Val thinks and explains. "Well, at first I thought it was freeing you two, but I can feel a few more presences here."
"Can we help?" Starfleet looks at her cheerfully while Arma looks at her as if she has grown a second head.
"Wow, wow, wow, who's said we?" Arma looks at Starfleet. "I never sign up for this…this…crazy team!"
"But she," Starfleet points at Val with her claw, "Freed us and we owe her, big time."
Dark lets out a chuckle. "Oh, ho, ho. Burn!"
Arma glares at Dark before staring at Starfleet for a while, dreading to believe she's right, before letting out a loud sigh. "Fine! I'll help out and once I'm done helping, I'm out of here."
"Deal!" Starfleet chirps.
"Great, just let me get C and Kirit." Dark said as she snapped her fingers, causing Celestia and Kirit to be on her shoulders. Arma and Starfleet were shocked to see them, especially a Scraplet, but seeing the Scraplet friendly, they're okay with that.
Arma looks at Val. "Alright V, lead us to the ones that need help." She said.
Nodding, Val points in the direction where they need to go, they go out of the room and towards the halls, Arma and Starfleet follow them from behind. They entered a strange area where a big pit filled with water or at least it was water. Arma sniffs at it before jerking her head away.
"Toxic." She snarls. "I don't think a survivor is there."
"There is a survivor," Val said. "He's in there and is in stasis."
Dark puts Val down as the little girl goes to the toxic water, she kneels-down and lets a single tear fall off her eye and landed on the toxic water. The water then became clear as glass, showing it was safe to be used. Val looked at Dark and nodded, Dark nodded back as she put Kirit and Celestia down before she and Val went towards the water. Arma notices this and has a pretty good idea on what they are going to do.
"Please tell me you two are not going to jump there?" Arma asked the two
With that said, Val and Dark jumped in water with a splash before swimming down, Arma stared blankly before looking at the energetic and excited Starfleet.
"You're not thinking of…"
Without any warning, Starfleet quickly runs back before charging towards the water as she jumps high and yells cheerfully. "Geronimo!" before making a big splash. That splash hit Arma, Celestia, and Kirit. The three were soaked and wet, Arma was annoyed at that Velociraptor femme.
"Great, just great." Arma mutters sarcastically as she shakes the water off her. Celestia and Kirit dry themselves too, and they waited for the three femmes to come up.
Meanwhile Val uses her water-powers to breathe underwater, Dark was helping Val swim properly and Starfleet was swimming next to them. They swam deeper to the water and found a huge mech with one arm and he was grafted to the wall by some sort of substance. He wasn't dead but in stasis.
Starfleet uses her sharp claw servos to cut the mech free from his trap. Val saw his floating arm and tugs at Dark's arm and points at the floating mechanical arm. Dark saw this and nodded as she swam over to the arm and grabbed it. Starfleet carries the unconscious mech to the surface where Arma waits for them.
"Have a nice swim?" Arma asked sarcastically as she helped Starfleet to bring up the injured mech. Dark brought the arm up and helped Val up.
"Kind of." Starfleet puts the mech down. "Val, do you think you can fix him?" She asked the little girl.
Nodding, Val went over to the mech's body and looked at him. His body was damaged badly and needs a lot of work. Val knew he needed a new form to survive. Thinking of a species she knew predacons were out since the mech might not be suited. So, she decided to make his new form a dinosaur! Closing her eyes and touching the Mech's body, Val's golden markings appeared and the mech's body started to heal. His arm was attached back to his body and he started to shift a bit. As Val finished, the Mech's optics flickered and he slowly sat up and rubbed his helm.
"Ugh…my head," he mutters before looking at Arma, Starfleet, Dark, Celestia, and Val. "Who are you four?"
"I'm Val." Val smiled before pointing at the femmes, Celestia, Kirit, and Dark, "And these are Dark, Celestia, Arma, Starfleet, and Kirit." Starfleet waves at him with a cheerful smile while Arma just snorts. Dark gave him a wink and Celestia chirped at him. But the mech was looking at Kirit with wide and horror optics as he stared at the scraplet in fear. "Don't worry, Kirit is tamed, right Kirit?"
Kirit chirps kindly at the mech who slowly calms down and then he looks at himself, knowing that he has changed. "What happened to me?"
"Your body was really banged up." Arma said looking at him. "Val had no choice but to…upgrade you."
The mech didn't know what she meant but he wanted to know what his upgrade was. Without thinking, the mech transforms into an Apatosaurus. He was shocked to see this, and he looked at Val, "How…why…you…"
"I had to save you." Val said as she was on the brink of tears. She didn't have a choice. she couldn't leave him and die.
The big mech's optics softens at the little girl. He transforms back and gently pats her head, "It is okay. I'll learn to like it." He said. Smiling, Val went over to him and hugged his massive leg. The big mech smiled as he petted her head gently with his servo. Starfleet awed at them with her hands holding together. Arma just rolled her optics under her red visor. Dark wanted to puke at this scene but chose not to.
"Okay, who's next to being rescued?" Arma suddenly asked, crossing her arms.
Val lets go of the mech's legs, "The others are somewhere in a distance." She said.
"Alright, let's not keep our guests waiting." Arma said before transforming to her Dino form followed by Starfleet. Dark turns herself to a wolf and the mech transforms into his beast mode and lowered his head.
"Hop on, Val." He said.
Nodding, Val gets on the mech's head with Celestia and Kirit, and they all head off towards another direction. Val hangs on to the mech's head as they went outside.
"By the way, what's your name?" Val asked the mech.
"The names Sludge." He said as they continued to run towards the Sea of Rust. It wasn't a pretty place to live, to Dark's standard, she loves it here. They walked around to find any survivors until they heard voices, they quickly hid behind some rubble as they listened to the voices.
"Grimlock?! Grimlock?!" shouted a loud yet irritating voice called.
Val could feel Sludge's eyes widen in shock. "Swoop?" He whispered.
"Who's Swoop?" Val asked quietly.
"Swoop is one of my teammates from Lightning Strike Coalition. I thought he and the others perished when we were attacked." Sludge explained quietly. "I didn't know they survived."
"Swoop, calling out Grimlock is not going to work." Strong and tough voice said.
"I agree with Slug." A tired voice agreed.
"Slug? Snarl?" Sludge peeks out with Val, Celestia, and Kirit still on his head. Dark, Arma, and Starfleet peeked out as well. They saw Swoop, Slug and an injured Snarl were looking for someone aka Grimlock. Swoop was searching frantically, looking under metal, buildings, and more metal.
"Swoop, he's not under there." Slug informed helping an injured Snarl.
"Hey, he could be stuck under the rubble and we might miss him."
"Not the brightest in the group, is he?" Arma whispered to Sludge.
"Yeah…" Sludge mutters out.
Swoop jumps up to the rubble where Val and her friends were hiding and says. "If we find him, we're gonna get out of here and kick some Decepticons' rear ends!"
Curious, Val pokes her head out next to Swoop and asks, "Why?"
That action scared Swoop, causing him to let out an 'AH!' in surprise as he fell off the rubble, he landed on his back as he let out a painful groan. Val looks down at Swoop's hurt state curiously with Kirit and Celestia. Arma and Dark watched in amusement while Starfleet held her laughter. Sludge smirks at that. He was still mad of them for leaving him in the cave. He was lucky that Val, Starfleet and Arma were there to save him.
Not long, Slug and Snarl came over to help their friend but stopped when they saw Val. They were shocked to see a human on their home planet and still breathing like she lived here!
"You're a human!" Snarl looks at her surprised.
"Part human." Val corrected.
"Wait what?" Snarl looks at Val as if she grew a second head.
"She's from an alien race that died out eons ago." Sludge came out from hiding with Val on her head.
"Sludge!" Swoop shot up from the ground. "You're alive!"
"No thanks to you guys." Sludge said a bit angrily. "You, guys left me."
"Hey! We were under attack!" Swoop defended, "We didn't know you were left behind!"
"Shut up!" Arma ordered as she, Dark, and Starfleet came out from the rubble in their beast mode. Swoop's mouth dropped when he saw two femmes, he fixed himself and went over to the femmes.
"Hello there!" He greeted with a grin. "You gals can call me Swoo-" Swoop got a punch on the faceplate by Arma causing him to fall on back, "Ow!"
Starfleet giggles while Val tilts her head curiously, and Dark and Sludge burst into laughter when Swoop attempts to win the femmes' sparks.
"Never flirt with us!" Arma snarls as Swoop makes a weak thumb up.
Val, Celestia, and Kirit slid down from Sludge's back and landed next to Starfleet. "So…is that everyone?" Starfleet asked.
"No," Val looks at a destroyed tower. "There's another one on that tower."
Slug looks at the tower and his optics grew wide, "That's where Grimlock was!"
"You mean…Grimlock is alive!" Swoop exclaims.
"Yes…who's Grimlock?" Val looks at the Lightning Strike Coalition.
"He's our leader and he was the one who destroyed that tower." Slug explained, "We thought he perished, but we knew he's still alive."
"Well, it looks like your leader is still alive." Arma said.
"What are we waiting for?!" Swoop transformed to a Pteranodon, "Let's go!" he yelled.
Before he could take off, Arma grabbed his leg and roughly pulled Swoop down. The Pteranodon let out a painful "OW!" as he sits up, "What was that for?!"
"Don't rush to conclusions." She said sternly, "We should go there on foot."
"What?!"
"I agree with Arma," Starfleet agreed. "I mean, who knows what creatures that were left behind here!"
"B-b-but!"
"No buts." Slug came over to Arma, "We should follow her advice."
Swoop sighs in annoyance and defeat. "Fine!"
Nodding, everyone transforms into their beast modes, but Snarl had trouble due to his injuries. Val saw his trouble and skips over to Snarl and touched his leg, her golden marking appeared, and she healed his injury in a second, that action shocked the rest of the Lightning Strike Coalition.
"How did she do…?" Swoop didn't finish when Arma cut him off.
"We'll explain it along the way, right now let's find you injured leader."
Nodding, Sludge lowered his head, so Val can get on. Val, Celestia, and Kirit got on Sludge as they all headed towards the tower. Val looks at the waste land as the Dinobots and Dark continue their journey, Swoop introduces himself and others and about them being called Dinobots, continuing their destination. Val took a nap for a while with Kirit and Celestia, Dark could sense strange presence on the planet, dark presence to be exact. They reach their destination and Sludge gently shakes his head to wake up Val, Celestia, and Kirit just in time. They slide off Sludge and they look at the half-destroyed tower.
"I don't think we'll survive." Arma said as she transforms back to her alt mode as well as the others.
"And why's that?" Swoop asked. To answer his question, Arma placed one of her peds on the platform, it made contact and the platform fell off to the bottomless pit. Swoop gulps in fear as he hides behind Slug, "I get your answer." He mutters fearfully.
"We need someone smaller than us." Slug said.
"Yeah, really small." Dark agreed with Slug.
All optics/eyes were on Val, Celestia, Kirit, the little ones looked at them innocently, "What?" Val asked until she realized what they meant, "Oh…"
Few seconds later, Val, Celestia, and Kirit carefully walked over to the nearest platform and climbed to it slowly, Kirit was helping them the best way he could, due to his small size, he can walk around easily. Swoop was supporting them by flying above while cheering, "You can do it!" or "Don't look down!" or "Watch your step!"
But he wasn't really helping at all, he only made things worse for them and Val nearly stumbled on a wobbly platform. They were lucky to make it to the other side as they saw something buried under the destroyed tower. Carefully and ever so gently, the three went under a small hole in the rubble, they were lucky to be so small, as they crawled towards the source. After a few minutes of crawling they saw something and went to it, they gasped when they saw a robotic T. Rex.
"That must be Grimlock." Val whispers to Celestia and Kirit who nodded.
Val crawls over to Grimlock and tries to reach him. Val struggles to touch him, her little hand tries to touch his metal. Celestia and Kirit looked at each other and nodded as they gave Val a gentle push and Val was able to touch Grimlock's metal head and then her golden dragon markings appeared. Grimlock's body glowed brightly and the next thing they knew, Grimlock's optics glowed as he slowly got up while making the rumble fall off him. Celestia and Kirit hug Val and she hugs them back as she curls herself to a ball to shield them from the rubble, Grimlock frees himself and them out of the rubble before Grimlock lets out a powerful roar that echoes through the wastelands. Once he stopped, Val, Celestia, and Kirit looked at him with wide eyes/optics. Grimlock notices them and looks down at the little ones.
"Who are you?" He asked in a deep voice.
"V-Val…and this is Celestia and K-Kirit." Val stutters as Grimlock looms down at them.
"You saved me…why?" He asked, trying not to be all threatening.
Before Val was about to speak, Swoop suddenly flew down and yelled, "Grimlock! You're alive!"
Grimlock looks up, "Swoop! Where are the others?" He ordered.
"They're alright! Sludge is alive! And we have two hot femmes in our team!" Swoop cheered the last part.
"I'M NO ONES TEAM!" Arma's voice roared in a distance as the word team echoed through the wastelands.
The three looked at the direction before looking at Val, "She doesn't like to be with others." She answered truthfully.
Grimlock looks at her before transforming in his alt mode, he lowered his massive servo. "Hop on." He ordered gently to Val. Val slowly climbs on Grimlock's servo with Celestia and Kirit, Grimlock ignores the scraplet on his servo as he focuses on getting out of here. Swoop flies down and picks up Grimlock from his back with the little ones on his servo.
"Going up!" Swoop exclaims loudly as he flies towards the others. Grimlock made sure that the little ones are safe on his servo. Swoop made it towards the others and put Grimlock down, Grimlock gently lowered his servo and the little ones could get off. They saw the rest of the Dinobots on their alt mode and Arma was holding what appears to be a six-barreled gatling gun.
"What's that?" Val asked Dark, who was looking at Arma's weapon.
"Arma found a six-barreled gatling gun on some rubble. She wanted to use it, but it looks broken." Dark looks at Val and says. "Can you fix it?"
Val nodded and went over to Arma. Arma sees her and lowers the weapon for Val could reach. Val touches it and it turns into black and red new version with unlimited bullet laser.
"Thanks V." Arma grins as she looks at the weapon with pride. "I like it."
Dark picks up Val while Celestia and Kirit perched themselves on Dark's shoulders. "Okay, now that's done, let's get the hell-" Dark was cut off when she felt a dark presence coming. "There's something coming." She said darkly, Dark quickly hides Val, Celestia, and Kirit under a rubble as she summons a sword. "Stay here." She ordered.
The little ones nodded as they hid under the rubble. Dark and Dinobots readied themselves for the intruders, they waited and listened. It was quiet, too quiet. Val hugs Celestia close as Kirit clings at Celestia for protection. There was nothing happening, everyone was about to lower their guard, when suddenly, shattering roars came, and everyone got to their battle stance. Strange black humanoid giants with wing arms came flying down, the creatures are about half the size as Starfleet, but they have one red eye, and they have wings attached to their arms and three claws like hands. They hissed at the Dinobots before charging at them.
The Dinobots and Dark attacked the creatures, Arma fired her laser bullets at the creatures, few dropped from the sky and crashed landed at the floor, Arma stopped firing and looked at the dead creatures, thinking that they are dead, but then their injuries started to heal in a few second before standing up and charging at Arma who started firing again.
Starfleet tackles one of them and rips it apart, but it heals itself and pushes her off. Grimlock and his team tried to kill them, but they ended up getting healed and started attacking the Dinobots again. Dark slashes them in half and decapitates them in a single slash, but no matter how many times she does it, the creature still ends up healing itself.
"Do these things ever die?!" Arma yelled angrily as she continued shooting one in the head, only got healed again and started attacking Arma. Starfleet breathes out a stream of fire at it and the creature crashes to rubble.
"What are they?!" Swoop screams as two flying creatures chased him to the sky. Starfleet transforms into her alt mode and punches a creature. It skidded to the floor and near the rubble. When it brought its head-up, he saw Val, Celestia, and Kirit. Its eye widens at the sight of the blue eyes of the child. Her eyes sparkle like sapphire jewels, and he could see purity in them. Grinning evilly, the creature stalked over to Val's hiding spot.
Val backs away in fear as she hugs Celestia and Kirit closely, fearing for her life. When the creature came closer to her, Starfleet saw it going towards the little ones and charged at it before it could get Val. Starfleet tackles it and stabs her claw on the back of the creature's neck as it lets out a roar of pain. It tries to escape but Starfleet forcefully pushes it down as she punches its head with her free claw.
Starfleet then felt something small in her claws. Forcefully, she pulled whatever that was stuck in the creature's neck out and saw it was a human! But this human was a male and appears to be a teenager with blond hair. Starfleet snaps out when the creature howls in pain before tossing Starfleet off its back, she crashes on some rubbles and accidentally drops the human on the floor. The creature roared and turned towards the rubble to see Val and her little friends gone. The creature saw her and her friends running away, it growled and chased after them in full speed like a cheetah, Dark saw this and was about to get it but she and others were surrounded by the creature's pack. Val, Kirit, and Celestia run as fast as they could to get away from the creature, but it was fast, and it was about to pounce at them when suddenly someone shot an arrow, the arrow zooms towards the creature chasing Val and pierces its head. The creature froze as its eye was wide as a ball before exploding into a dark mist. Val tripped by it, Celestia and Kirit stopped and helped Val up as they turned towards the one who shot the arrow. It was the strange male, holding a silver bow. His sky-blue eyes looked at the other creatures, who stopped fighting the Dinobots and Dark, he lowered his weapon and summoned a pair of sky-blue wings with a hint of yellow. Then a strong wind surrounded them all and the creatures roared through the wind before it disappeared along with him, the little ones, Dark, and the Dinobots, leaving the creatures to hiss angrily.
Inside a dark lab was a groundbridge, it wasn't completely broken, but it looks like it can still be used, if it has energy. Then the room started to shake a bit, lab equipment shook off from the desk to the floor when a strong wind came in to reveal the male, the little ones, Dark, and the Dinobots. The male stops the wind and looks at everyone who was looking at him as well.
"Are you all alright?" He asked kindly.
Dark taps her chin with her claw finger, "Hmm. Let's see, we were sucked in by a groundbridge and were sent to here, finding survivors on this dead planet, nearly got overrun by those creatures, and meeting you…so yeah. We're good." Dark said before looking the male up and down. "Now answer this, who the hell are you?" Dark asked a bit rudely.
The male placed his right fist on his left chest and bowed, "My name is Soren, elite member of the royal guards." He introduces himself.
"You? A guard?" Dark asked mockingly. "You look like a teenager to be an elite guard."
"That's because my kind age differently than the ones from other planets." Soren explains.
Dark started at him blankly with Arma until the demonic bodyguard realized something. "You're a Galatria, aren't you?" She said to Soren.
Soren's eyes widened a bit, how did she know about her kin? He thought that their legacy and name were forgotten years ago after the Monstrums took over them. "Yes, how did you know about my kin's name?" Soren asked.
"We have someone that knows your kin." Dark said before bringing Val forward. "Oh, because I'm protecting one." She added, holding Val's back.
Soren looks at Val curiously and notices the royal mark on her right arm. His eyes widened in shock and amazement as he quickly on his knees and bowed at Val respectfully.
"Your highness." He said with his eyes close.
Val blinks in surprise, he already knows that she's the heiress of her kind. The Dinobots have no idea what's going on, heck. They really don't get it at all.
"Why did he call her that?" Arma asked Dark.
Dark glanced at her and said. "Because Val is not just an alien called Galatria, but a Royal Galatria."
"Wait, you're telling us that V is a princess?!" Arma almost exclaims in shock.
Dark simply nodded. "Yup, and she will one day bring righteousness to her kingdom and yada, yada, and whatnot." Dark explains dully.
Soren got up on his feet and said. "She will not just bring righteousness; she will restore the kingdom and stop the never-ending war of the Monstrums."
"What I don't get is why were you in that creature's neck." Slug looks at Soren. "Why were you even there?"
"I was imprisoned by the evil tyrant, Thanatos." Soren explains grimly. "He destroyed our home and our king."
Dark yawns. "Yeah, we heard this story before, you can tell us more when we get the hell off this dumb planet and to Earth already." She said before looking at the groundbridge. "Hey kiddo, try to use your power at the bridge."
Dark turned towards Val and her face became blank when she saw Soren bowing at Celestia respectfully. Val and Kirit watched from the sidelines and said something that only Celestia, Val, and Dark could understand.
"Nii los aan zin wah grind hi, sahrot dovah." Soren said with a kind a gentle smile, causing Celestia's eyes to widen.
Dark let out a loud "Ahem!" causing them to look at her, Dark has her arms crossed while tapping her heel on the ground angrily. Dark points at the ground-bridge with her index finger. "I said: Kiddo, use your power." Dark ordered dangerously.
Val quickly went towards the groundbridge, not wanting Dark to get madder, so Val touched the machine gently and tried to focus her energy at the groundbridge. She thinks of Isola Della Vita and everyone at the island and her home. The ground-bridge started to flicker in a few seconds and suddenly Val's dragon markings appeared and the groundbridge suddenly opened. Val quickly turns towards the others. "It's ready!" She said with a smile.
The Dinobots quickly went to the groundbridge, Starfleet picks up Soren, Celestia, and Kirit, and runs towards the groundbridge with the others as Dark picks up Val and goes in with the others as the groundbridge closes behind them.
Meanwhile, at the other groundbridge of Mercury, it opens by itself and Dark, Val, and the others came out from it as it closes from behind. The Dinobots looked around the strange room and noticed Skyhowl was there with Daisy, the two were shocked to see them, but they were relieved to see Val alright.
"Valentina!" Skyhowl quickly went over to her, Dark put Val down and was soon picked up by Skyhowl gently. "Are you alright?"
Dark cuts her off, "Yes. She's fine and so are we." She gestured to the others behind them.
Skyhowl looks at them in confusion. "Who are they?" She asked.
"They are called Dinobots and that one over there is a Galatria named Soren." Dark explains before looking around. "Where are the others?"
Skyhowl looks at her worriedly and explains the best ways she could. "Val's cousins Angel and Mystica are here."
"Angel and Mystica are here?" Val asked excitingly.
"Why?" Dark asked rudely.
Skyhowl gives Val back to Dark who picks her up. "It's best if I show you all." She said as she gestured to them to follow. They followed the predacon wolf through the halls and entered a room with Diamond Silk, Sage, and Foxtrot with Saphira, Val's cousins, Aquarius, and Val's friends. They were looking at a huge wide one-way window. They turn when they see the door open to reveal their new guests and Val with Dark, Celestia and Kirit.
"Val!" Val's friends exclaim happily as they run over to Dark, carrying Val. Dark quickly puts Val down and she was consumed by a big hug by them. They were saying how relieved they were that she was okay. They looked at the Dinobots in shock and amazement while the Dinobots looked at the shock Diamond Silk, Sage, and Foxtrot.
"Grimlock?!" Diamond Silk spoke in shock.
"Diamond? Sage? Foxtrot?" Grimlock looks at the three femmes in shock.
Swoop was about to hug Foxtrot and exclaims happily. "Fo-"
Foxtrot grabs his faceplate with one of her servos and says. "Don't." She tosses him away from her and he crashes at some empty energon boxes.
Dark came to them and said. "Alright, what the hell is going on here and why was Skyhowl and Daisy? They were the only ones that greeted us at the groundbridge?!"
"We'll explain to you what you need to know, and you will explain the things that we need to know." Saphira spoke wisely. "But, right now, we need to help someone that is in serious condition."
"What do you mean?" Val asked as her friends let her go.
Angel walks over her cousin and picks her up. "When Mystica, Morphy, and I were exploring, Mystica was attacked, she was able to defeat her opponent, but turns out, she was forced to fight." She explains.
"Who's she?" Dark asked Angel.
Mystica was the one who can answer that as she points at the one-way window. "She was controlled by an evil cooperation to capture me or any cybertronian life forms, and now, she is fighting for her life." She explains.
Angel hands over Val to Mystica as she shows Val what she means and Dark teleports on Mystica's shoulder. Val gasps in shock to see a half beaten up cybertronian femme that has sky blue paint job with a hint of yellow was lying on a berth with wires attached to it and is trying to stay alive. And there was one question that was filled in their processors/minds.
Who is she?
To be continued…
Who is that femme? Was she Silas's robotic super soldier? How did Mystica beat her? Will Smokescreen meet Muraco again? Who is the hooded figure Achak spoke to? Stay tuned on the Little Girl and the Predacons.
I will update soon, you will see the explanation soon on the next chapter, they always make these cutscenes where they split each episode to reveal how it happened.
And what Soren said the 'Nii los aan zin wah grind hi, sahrot dovah.' Means 'It is an honor to finally meet you, mighty dragon' in Skyrim.
I hope you like it, D is out, peace!
