Merry Christmas everybody! Even though it's done.
Also, the reason why I made the School Madness because it was a request. And it was suppose to be a Halloween story, but I didn't have time.
So, here's the Christmas story even though I didn't make the Thanksgiving.
Chapter 21: Gift of Joy
After Ethereal Academy incident, the kids were back home, safe and sound. The school will have to be rebuild and the students that were victims were taken to the hospital to be treated, and checked for any problems in their systems. The Predacons are happy that their kids are back and glad they are okay. The kids can't wait to show the predacons their favorite holiday, which is Christmas. The Predacons have no idea what's Christmas is, but it's holiday of giving gifts and being together with family. They wanted to celebrate Christmas too, so they listen to the kids words about Christmas traditions. There's fun and cheers, decorations are on houses and streets. And many sweets and food to eat. The Predacons decided to try this Christmas. The first thing they need is a Christmas tree. The Predacons set off to a forest that has many pine trees. The Predacons that are there are Poisonhorn, Twoface, Hornfang, Savagespine, and Aquarius with Yunna, Rumble and Frenzy. They search for a tree that is suitable for the island.
"There's so many trees here, why can we just pick one and go?" Rumble asked.
"The trees here are too small for our taste." Twoface said, walking pass some undergrowth.
They continued walking before Twoface stops them. He was looking at one direction and grins before pointing on where he was looking. They followed his gaze and slowly looked up, and their optics widen and mouth slowly dropped, except for Poisonhorn since he has a mask on. They stared at the place where Twoface was looking with their mouth dropped before looking to the blue/red Predacon, who grinning at them.
Foxtrot was seen walking out of Mercury with datapad in hand. She was checking some files that she encrypted, searching for artifacts that were forgotten a long time ago. She walked towards the outside groundbridge that she and others built, the groundbridge was connected to a cliffside, where they attached their version of a control station. There was a roof like doom with a wide opening for them to enter. It was easy to built since they have the materials they need. Foxtrot went over to the groundbridge control and saw Skyhowl and Ravage there. They were waiting for the others to get the tree they need to decorate it. They made the decoration by using a 3D printer that Mercury has. Their 3D printer is more advance then the humans since Cybertron is a advance race of technology.
"So, where is our tree collectors?" Foxtrot asked as she made her way to the others.
"Still at the forest, searching for the tree that suits for a predacon." Skyhowl said with a smile. "I'm kind of excited on what tree they might bring."
"Let just hope that they bring a tree that has no forest animal living there." Foxtrot reminded, remembering small animals that live on trees.
Then they heard a beep from the monitors, saying that someone, better yet, Twoface, is calling them. Skyhowl presses a button to answer. "This is Skyhowl speaking, what's your progress Twoface."
"Hey Sky! Open up the groundbridge, we just hit the jackpot!"
"Alright, groundbridge ready." Skyhowl said as she activates the bridge. "What took you so long to get a tree?" She asked when she and the others looked at the groundbridge.
"Well, since there were many trees, the gang and I decided to bring the most, amazing, spectacular-"
Before Twoface could finished, they saw what came from the groundbridge. They watched as Poisonhorn and Twoface came out, carrying something in before slowly revealing the top part of a tree. They came in while the tree slowly revealed more of itself. The others optics slowly widen when they saw the enormous tree coming in, Savagespine and Hornfang were carrying the middle while Yunna and Aquarius were carrying the end. When they all came in with Rumble and Frenzy, the groundbridge closes behind them, everyone watched as they brought the tree up high, covering everyone by its shadow.
"-the biggest glitching tree on this planet!" Twoface finished with a grin, spitting some twigs that he got from the tree, as he looked at the others, who were staring at the tree in shock. "Eh? Eh? What'd ya think?" He asked the others, still grinning from his work.
"...I...I have no words to say to this." Foxtrot said, looking at the big tree.
Yunna gave Foxtrot an apologetic smile. "Gomenasai, Foxtrot-san, but Twoface-san wanted a tree that is suitable for the predacons." She said as she looks at the tree.
"Noted." Foxtrot sighs as she looks at the rest. "Well, it seems we have a lot of work to do. Bring the tree to the center of of the island, we will decorated it there."
"Yes ma'am." They said as the predacons carried the tree to the center of the island.
"Yunna, Skyhowl, you two gather the decoration inside Mercury. Ravage, you and your brothers will assist them."
"Yes/Hai!" They said before they did as they were told while Foxtrot checks the groundbridge systems.
Meanwhile, the kids were in the jungle of Isola Della Vita, searching for the predacons. They got a call from Sage that they should meet at the center of the island. They were curious about what the predacons will do, they heard they wanted to celebrate Christmas with them.
"I wonder how the predacons are doing?" Quinn asked as they went in the entrance.
"They said they wanted to try to celebrate Christmas, they send Poisonhorn, Twoface, Hornfang, Savagespine, and Aquarius with Yunna, Rumble and Frenzy to get a tree." Gem said.
"Why did they send a lot of muscle power?" Damien asked. "They could've send one to get a simple tree."
"I don't know, something tells me we're gonna have a big surprise." Quinn said as they made their way inside.
When they did, the first thing they, was a ginormous tree. It was tall like a tower, not much, but still tall. It was beautifully decorated with ornaments and on top of the tree is a beautiful golden star on top. The kids stared at the tree in shock before noticing Foxtrot coming out of the corner of the tree with Yunna. The kids went over to them while they stared at the tree in amazement.
"Wow, who knew you guys were so festive." Quinn commented in amazement.
Foxtrot shrugs and looks at the tree. "Well, it was Twoface's idea to bring this huge tree for the island, saying that this tree is more suitable for the predacons."
Twoface leans behind the tree and made a grin. "Ya got that right!" He exclaims happily before retreating back to the corner.
Foxtrot sighs and shook her helm. She turns back to the kids and notices that they and their little creatures were the only ones there. She became suspicious, a single question popped out from her mind. Where's Dark Twilight? She usually on this events, someone would make rude comments or compliments.
"Valentina? Where's Dark Twilight? She usually make rude comments about this by now." Foxtrot questioned the little girl.
"Dark's not here. She said she has to be somewhere and won't be back until Christmas." Val answered innocently.
"I see...do you know where she might run off?"
Val shrugs at Foxtrot. "I dunno, Dark said it's her business." She informs.
Foxtrot wanted to know why would Dark would run off like that. But if she did know, then she will regret it for the rest of her life, considering Dark has secrets that she could never understand. So, deciding not to question it, Foxtrot decided to ask the kids more about this holiday.
"So, what else you do to this Christmas holiday?" She asked.
"Have fun." Quinn said with a smile. "You can also make eggnog, gingerbread houses or cookies."
"And giving gifts to the ones you love." Gem added.
Foxtrot rubbed her chin. "Anything else?"
"Yeah, and if you stand under a mistletoe with someone that you like or not." Damien said with a grin.
"Yes, we've discovered about the mistletoe recently." Foxtrot said. "It didn't go so well."
"Why?" Aggie asked.
"Let's just say, Swoop had a little incident with a mistletoe."
Few hours ago, when getting the tree, Swoop wanted to get a smooch from Saphira since that if two people stand under a mistletoe, then they have to kiss. And Swoop wanted that, so he put a big mistletoe like bush on his head, making sure that Saphira won' escape, and was ready to get to get his smooch.
"Pucker up, my beautiful-AH"
Swoop didn't go any further, when a Predacon Thunderbird flies down with a shriek and grabs the mistletoe bush, with Swoop, and took off to the high mountain, where she could use the bush to make her nest, not knowing that a screaming Swoop was in her talons.
Foxtrot shook her head on that incident, it took them hours until they manage to get Swoop away from the angry Predacon, who thought Swoop was an intruder in her nest, but she was the one who accidentally took him. But she decided to forget it and listens to the kids about the Christmas traditions. They went to Mercury and towards a Cybertronian like kitchen where they saw Yunna helping Sage make energon treats and sweets. There were energon cookies, gingerbread like houses, and Cybertornian and Predacon shape cookies. They have their own traditional eggnog and it's called Oilnog. Turns out, Yunna knows how to bake and cook when she was a human. She learns how to do it by experience. And she is a natural on making Cybertronian cooking too.
"Hmm, it appears that you all have the foods prepared." Foxtrot said to Yunna and Sage.
Sage smiles at her. "Yes, and Yunna is a natural on this." She complimented.
Yunna blushed a bit and smiles at them. "A-Arigato." She whispers shyly.
"Well, since that is taken care of, now we have something to deal with." Foxtrot said.
"What is that?" Damien asked.
Then the doors opened to reveal Rosefang and Fangripper, the two sparklings were eyeing on the sweets on the counter and table. They jumped towards the sweets but soon were caught by the Mercury's tentacles, preventing them from getting the sweets. They wiggle about, trying to free themselves from Mercury's hold, and getting the sweets. Foxtrot shook her head and gestured the sparklings, dangling on Mercury's tentacles.
"Preventing these two sparklings from eating all the food." Foxtrot said as she gestured Mercury to take them to the playpen with the other spraklings. As Mercury brings the fussy sparklings to the playpen, the kids are telling them who's coming over tonight. Val was excited because her big brother was coming over after he finished his mission.
Speaking of her older brother, Antony was at the Galaxy Knight's headquarters and was walking through the halls with Lazro by his side as they follow Captain Solomon through the halls. The two Galaxy Knights just finished their mission and Antony was excited that he's going to celebrate Christmas with his family because he never celebrated it for years since he lost memories as a child, the only thing he remembers were the holidays and traditions. But he has to finished one more job before heading to Earth, and that is to watch over someone.
"Captain Solomon, who are we going to watch over?" Antony asked respectfully as he and Lazro follows the captain.
"Few weeks ago, some Galaxy Knights have discovered a meteor that has a living being inside. They took to the lab and discovered something amazing. The double doors opened automatically as they walked through the halls of the laboratory. They saw many Azurtex scientists working on new machinery, weaponry, and researching some new tech that they discover. They went over to a cell that has a strong window that can see what's on the other side. And they saw someone huddle on the corner, hugging its legs with its arms, and its head was down. The two Galaxy Knights looked closer and their eyes widen when that someone raised its head to look at them to reveal a girl with golden hair and eyes. She appears to be the same age as Val's friends, her short golden hair has some strands of her hair tied upwards. Her clothes were like native warriors, and she looks like a fighter with the look. The girl looks at them with no emotions but anger before bringing her head down.
"That is the one you're going to watch over." Captain Solomon said before turning to the shock Galaxy Knights. "She has incredible strength and durability, and a serious temper."
Lazro looks at Captain Solomon in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"When she woke up, she attack the scientists, luckily for them, there were Galaxy Knight solders there that were able to fight her off. The sedated her and gave her a language flash before she passed out." Captain Solomon explains as he looks at the girl.
Antony looks at the girl and then asked. "What is she?"
"She is a Karavīrs."
"A Karavīrs!" The two Galaxy Knights exclaims.
Karavīrs are one of the most dangerous alien species, they have super strength that crush their enemies and fighting skills that bring pain. They were number three, but they lost that title by Anodites, and also they were extinct like the dinosaurs. The reason why, their planet being blew up. The planet's core was over heated and it exploded the whole planet, killing the natives that lives there.
"B-But how?" Lazro stuttered. "The Karavīrs were extinct for thousands of years, how can one can still be alive?"
"We did our research and due to her strong metabolism, she survive and was trapped in hibernation on the meteor. She can understand us now and we tried to reason with her to wake up, but she would lash at us, thinking at the we are the enemies." Captain Solomon said before looking at the two. "I was hoping that you two can calm her down, and reason with her."
"With all do respect Sir, but how can we reason with her? She doesn't look like she would talk with anyone." Lazro said, looking at the girl worriedly. Antony looks at the girl with curious eyes. Her emotions reminded of himself when he was young. He was taken away from his family and was experimented on for years until the Galaxy Knights found and saved him. Antony turns to the others and said.
"I will talk to her." Antony said.
Lazro looked at his friend, as if he grew another head, and said. "Are you crazy? That girl can destroy you if you set foot in there." He informs.
"If I don't have weapons, then she'll know that I'm not a threat." Antony said as he gives Lazro his blaster and dagger before looking at Captain Solomon. "Let me in." He said softly.
Nodding, Captain Solomon gestured him to follow towards the entrance. Antony did and the big metal door opens for him. Antony went in as the doors closed behind him. Antony looks at the girl, who was glaring at him under her bangs, as if she was going attack him. But Antony sits on the ground while resting one arm on his right leg. The girl just looked at him, waiting if he's going to do something.
"What's your name?" Antony asked gently. The girl didn't answer, she just stared at him with a glares at him. Luckily Antony was patient, and calmly made a conversation with her. "My name is Astronomy Nebular and I'm Galaxy Knight. You don't need to be afraid."
"I am not afraid." Antony hear her muttered out.
"Oh good, you understand me." Antony said with a smile. "And I know you can take down people easily. But I just want to be your friend."
The girl didn't say anything then, she just looked away from him. Antony sighs, he can't get her to talk to him, and he knows why. She must witness the lost of her planet and her people. And she is fighting to live up her people's name. Antony knew that she won't give in, but he is going to show her that she can trust him. So, he decided to tell her his past.
"You know, I am just like you." He said softly. "I lost the people that I love too."
This caught the girl's interest as she lifts her head a bit and whispers. "What do you mean?"
"When I was young, I was taken away from my family and was experimented on by a mad scientist named Alder. He experimented me, trying to be his weapon."
"He tortured you." The girl mutters at Antony.
"He did, and because of him, I lost memories of my parents and my real name."
Antony began telling the girl about his life. He told her how he was saved by an unknown alien and was found by the Galaxy Knights. He told her how he trained himself to be the high ranking Galaxy Knight that he is and how he and friend, Lazro, worked together with their teammates to successfully finished their missions. The girl listens to his story with great interest. Lazro and Solomon were impressed on how Antony was talking to the girl without getting hurt. They were right to let Antony go in and talk to her. Antony told the girl his adventures and how he met Val, and how saved her, and how she was his long lost sister. The girl asked if that he was able to meet his parents, but sadly, Antony told her that his parents were in and accident. However, he did met his uncle and cousins. His memories slowly returned and soon, he found happiness.
"You can be happy too." He said as he stands up and walks towards her. The girl didn't move as Antony came to her and outstretches his hand. "You can live on Earth of you want, my sister would love to meet you."
The girl looks at him and his hand, not sure if she should trust him yet, but in her heart, she knew that he is trustworthy. So, the girl slowly accepted his hand and slowly was brought up to her feet.
"I trust you." She said.
Antony smiles as he brings her out of the cell room and to the others, where they look at him in amazement. Antony gestured the girl to the others. "This Captain Solomon and my best friend, Lazro."
The girl looks at them and bowed. "It is a pleasure, please forgive me for acttacking your members." She apologizes.
Captain Solomon sighs and made a small smile at her. "It is alright, you were just scared that you woke up in an unfamiliar place." He said.
"So...what's your name?" Lazro asked.
"In my planet, I have many names, but my birth name is Kendraca." She said her name.
Antony smiles. "Well, Kendraca, it looks like you will have a new life on Earth with my sister." He said before looking at Captain Solomon. "Captain?"
"Yes, you can take her to Earth, but you have to report us back when she adapts to her new home. Lazro, accompany him." He said. "Dismiss!"
The two Galaxy Knights made their salute before walking away with Kendraca following them. They walked through the halls and went to jets. There, Piper was waiting patiently on Antony's jet. When she saw her master, she immediately flies over to him, and flies around him, saying go to Earth so they can celebrate Christmas with Val and her friends. Antony chuckles as they got on the their jets. Kendraca was with Antony as they took off in hyper speed to Earth. They went to Isola Della Vita while Kendraca awed at the beauty of Earth. It was night, meaning they can reach to the party on time. They landed on the island's clearing and me their way to the entrance of the volcano. Once they entered, they saw the festivities of the Predacons. They were amazed by the decorations and the foods. There energon/oil foods on big tables while the human foods were on human size tables. Kendraca was amazed by this. And soon saw giant robotic animal beings walking about with some humans.
"ANTONY!" They heard a little girl squeal.
Antony was tackled to the ground by a happy Val, wearing a Christmas style dress and ribbon, and was laughing happily with her brother on the ground. Antony chuckled and holds his sister up. "Hey, Val, Merry Christmas." He said.
"Merry Christmas Antony!" Val giggles before looking at Lazro with a smile. "Merry Christmas Lazro!"
Lazro smiles. "Merry Christmas too." He said.
Val then saw Kendraca and looks at her brother. "Antony, who is she?"
"Val this is Kendraca, she's an alien that lost her home. She's going to stay here on Earth as her new home with you and your friends."
Val gasps and smiles and gets off Antony and went over to Kendraca with a big smile on her face. "Welcome to Isola Della Vita. Kendraca! I'm Val."
Kendraca looks at the sweet innocent girl and felt her lips twitch with a smile. She ruffles Val's hair and said. "Pleasure to meet you Val, and Merry Christmas." She remembered Val greeting Antony and Lazro with that.
Val smiles and said. "You'll have many fun here on Earth! But you should have a human name."
"Human name?" Kendraca asked in confusion.
"Yeah! So, people won't know you're an alien." Val informs.
"She's right." Antony said.
Kendraca looks at Val and said. "So...what name should I have?"
"Hmmm..." Val hums as she thinks of a name for her. After a few seconds, Val face lights up. "Kendall! You're name is Kendall."
"Kendall..." Kendraca whispers out that name. It does sound human and nice. Kendraca looks at Val and nodded. "Okay, Kendall it is then."
Val cheers as she hugs Kendraca or Kendall happily, knowing that she has a new friend. She then pulls her arm a bit, gesturing her to follow. "Come on, I want you to meet my friends and family."
Kendall follows the girl as she leads her to the others. The two Galaxy Knights followed and watched as Val introduces Kendall to her friends. They were shock to see her, until Antony and Lazro explains to them about her and why she was here, they soon accepted her to the family. Kendall was soon introduced to the Predacons and the Dinobots, and then the Cybertronian femmes. She then meets the humans, she was accepted by them and soon she meets the dinosaurs who were also there. Zosia came with her children along with the Corvus Twins. Antony got to meet his grandmother Susan, who promised to kept them and the others' a secret, and was happy to meet her. Angelo was there too with his mutant hawk, Steelwing. Angelo promise to keep the secrets of his friends. He gave Val a gift, a beautiful pearl that is half the size of his palm. It shows the emotions of others, it was a great gift for Val.
They all partied with them, until Arma, who was drunk with high-energon, started a crazy fights with other drunken Predacons. It was wild and it took a lot of Predacons to stop the drunken femme dinobot. Swoop tried to get a kiss from Saphira, but he was pushed to the lake by Ying and Yang. Rumble and Frenzy got kiss on the cheek from Yunna because they were mistletoe bowties, and since Yunna was nice, she kissed them on the cheek, causing them to faint. Celestia wanted to play along and uses her tail to hold a mistletoe and hang it above Val and Angelo, making Val kiss Angelo on the cheek, making him blush, much to Owen, Assassin, and Val's Raptor Squad's dismay.
Kendall enjoyed the party, mostly the food, since she ate a lot of food. When Zosia brought a huge fruit cake for the humans to eat, they had trouble cutting it. But Keizer had a better way of cutting, he used a freaking chainsaw! Xenthos facepalm at his brother's tricks while their 'nieces' and 'nephews' cheered at their Uncle Keizer. Val even gave Kendall a gift to her, a small golden star necklace, she made it for her when she had extra gifts to share. Kendall accepted it and soon party with the others. Dark came back from her trip somewhere, no one knows where she went, but didn't question her, they thought it was nothing. So, they continued to party
And it was fun Christmas party.
Okay, I used google translate and Karavīrs is Latvian for warrior. I don't know if it's correct since sometimes google translate can't be right. Also, the humans there are Owen, Barry, Claire, Gray, Zach, (they know the secret since Val told them), Simon, Lowery, Vivian, Alex, Sofia, Mike, Jay, Isabella, Marco, Carl, Wu, and grandma Susan (Owen's mom and Val's grandma.) Vida, Devlin, and Angel were there too.
I know it's a boring chapter but I had to make it. And Christmas was over few days ago, but I had to make it. And Happy New Years!
Up next: The Little Girl and the Xenomorphs crossover!
