Jack Darby or better yet Blackstone was riding his silver motorcycle ninja 1000 to Sunny High. With him was Rain, holding on to his back as he drives while Tempest follows them with her jeep. Jack and Rain have gotten used to their new school. Jack has been practicing with Tempest, he learned very well in playing the guitar and the piano. She even showed him and Rain around the school, so they won't get lost and know their way around. As well as knowing their teachers. June posing as Juliet Blackstone got accustomed to her new working area. Befriending staff and getting to know her new life here in Sunny City. As June was busy with her work, Jack decided to get a job of his own along with Rain. But instead of working at some burger joint, Jack helps workers at a pet shop since he has the ability to talk with animals. Jack made a suitable candidate there, understanding animals and helping the owners how to take care of them. Rain also got a job as swimming instructor at Sunny City's community swimming pool. Tempest also has a job, working at a music store, selling, and fixing instruments. When they have nothing else to do, they visit their friends at Isola Della Vita, hang out, get to know each other, and train. Yes, training. Jack has been training his combat skills with Leonidas and magic skills from Tempest. It was brutal and tough, but Jack was able to pull through to their training. Leonidas appears to be a master of combat as he teaches Jack many forms of fighting. Tempest, on the other hand, teaches him dark magic since he is part of an alien race that consists of dark magic, and he did learn some magical skills from Aggie and Zosia.
All in all, it was peaceful for them to live in such a great city.
Jack parks his motorcycle at the school's parking lot as he and Rain get off while removing their helmets. Tempest parks close by and gets off her jeep, as she and the others went to school. They headed to class before the bell rang. Their first class was an acting class, being taught by a hippy teacher named Eugene Erwin Insanius. He's quite an odd and strange man, often does weird things, such as drinking out of a coconut in class, thinking that coconut milk gives him "visions" and inspiration. And he even climbs into his classroom through the window or the vent. However, even if he's a strange teacher, all of the students appear to like him and enjoy his teaching. In his improv class, there were only seats, no desk, as they only pay attention to his tips.
"Okay, as you may know, there is going to the annual music festival next month. For your semester, I want you all to perform in a duet or solo with amazing talent and craftsmanship." Insanius said to them with dramatic hand gestures. Jack and Rain were sitting on the front seat with Tempest and Meygana from behind.
"What's the annual music festival about?" Jack asked the two girls from behind.
"It's a celebration of the discovery of Sunny City." Tempest explains to them blankly. "History shows that a group of musicians played music to attract settlers from far and wide as they all pitched in to make Sunny City."
"And rumor has it that these settlers are traveling magicians and gypsies." Meygana added quietly with a wink.
Both Jack and Rain chuckle at her before they turn back to their teacher. So far, they learn that in duets, they have to be in perfect sync by getting to know each other more. Jack and Rain continue studying at Sunny High with Tempest and Meygana. There were no problems around the school since everyone got to know each other very well. Or because the students wouldn't dare mess with them because they learn that Jack is Tempest's 'cousin' and no one dares mess with Tempest.
"So Jack? How are you and your mom holding up?" Meygana asked, walking towards their lockers.
"Well...mom's doing well in her new nursing job at Sunny City." Jack said, opening his locker and grabbing his notebook. "And I got used to helping out at the local pet shop."
"It's a good thing you can understand animals, Jack." Tempest said blankly as she opened her locker to grab her book in history.
"Yeah, all though, the manager called me saying that I could have a weekend off since someone's taking my shift. Which is good since the gang has invited me to come on a trip this weekend." Jack explains to them, referring to the kids at Isola Della Vita.
"And that is?" Tempest questions him, walking towards their next class.
"They said something about, cross dimension trip. I didn't believe them at first, but Rain told me that her people used to go to other dimensions." Jack answered, smiling at his girlfriend, who smiled back at him.
Meygana chuckles at him. "Well, it wouldn't be first, other beings can travel through dimensional rifts. Heck, even my ancestors even went to another dimension once." She explains to Jack and Rain.
"Wow, have you been to another dimension, Tempest?" Jack asked Tempest, walking through the hall.
Tempest made a small nod. "Yes, my uncles took me to Magic World." She answered softly, making sure that no other students heard her.
This caught Jack and Rain's attention as they looked at her. "Magic World? What's that?" Jack whispers to her.
"It's a dimension filled with all magical life and beings. It is the source of all magic." Tempest explains to them freely once they were in the clear. "It is where I learn all about magic and its cultures. The only ones who can enter it are magical beings and for those who are allowed to enter."
"Were your uncles allowed to enter the magic world?" Rain asked Tempest curiously.
Tempest nodded. "Yes, they were allowed to enter Magic World since they are the brothers to my Aunt Zosia, who happens to be a council member in Magic World." She replied, shocking the couple.
"Really? She never told us about that." Jack said in surprise.
"Well, it's understandable considering she can be secretive from time to time." Rain said to her boyfriend.
Meygana smiles at them. "Well, keeping secrets is part of being part of a magical community." She informs the two.
"Speaking of cross dimensions, are there any magical beings that can cross dimensions on their own?" Jack asked Tempest and Meygana, entering the classroom.
"Yup, they are called Jumpers." Meygana answered, sitting at the back with Tempest by her side. Jack and Rain sat in front of them, listening to their explanation.
"What's a Jumper? I am not familiar with them." Rain questions them.
"Truth be told, Jumpers are a rare species of magical beings. They are humans that have the power to jump through dimensions and possibly time. They have strange electrical abilities that can help them jump from one dimension to another, other lands, and control lightning itself. And as for their symbol it is the Thunderbird, for it controls lightning itself." Meygana explains to them.
"Woah, they sound amazing." Jack said in awe.
"You mentioned that they are rare. Are they endangered perhaps?" Rain suddenly asked of them.
"Yes, they are." Tempest was the one who answered. "Due to their dimensional jumping, they are very valuable to the Dark Markets. My uncles told me they scattered themselves throughout the dimensions, so they won't get captured by rogues."
"That's terrible." Jack said in sympathy as students entered the classroom.
"It is, that is why Jumpers never stay in one place." Tempest said blankly to them. "They fear being hunted by rogues that wish to sell them."
Jack and Rain felt sympathy towards the Jumpers. They didn't deserve to be hunted like that. They soon stopped their conversation when the students got to their seats and the teacher began her lecture of the history of presidents. For the rest of the day, they did their schoolwork and activities, playing some music during lunch. And then do their final class to do some after school activities. Jack and Rain had a good time before heading home with Tempest. Meygana left afterwards as she got a ride home by her family's limo. They don't have any work today since someone else has taken their shifts. Once they got home, they saw June parking her blue Lamborghini Aventador at the garage. Kuroi was perched on a nearby tree, preening his feathers but stopped when he saw Jack and the others coming home while June waves at them with a smile.
"Hey, how was school today?" June asked them as they parked their vehicles in the garage.
"It was great, mom." Jack said as he and Rain got off his motorcycle. "Though, there was this really strange student that got his head stuck in a vending machine."
"Oh, is he alright?" June asked in worry.
"Don't worry, Aunt J. Lynch always gets his head stuck on that vending machine multiple times." Tempest said blankly.
Kuroi flies down and lands on Jack's shoulder. The raven greeted Jack which earned a gentle scratch under the chin. "Hey, Kuroi."
As they entered the house, Tempest headed towards the kitchen. "What do you want for dinner? I'm cooking." She said to them dully.
"Oh, Temp, you don't have to do that." June assures Tempest.
"No need, I kinda enjoy cooking." Tempest said before they all entered the house. "Do you guys like steak, corn bread, and coleslaw for dinner? I can add some Vegetable Kabobs if you want."
"That sounds good." Jack said with a smile and the others agreed. "Do you need help?"
"Yeah, I need extra cooking oil. It's in the storage room near the garage." Tempest said as she went into the kitchen.
"You got it." Jack said as he went to the cooking oil with Kuroi perched on his shoulder.
Rain and June offered Tempest help, which the techno-organic appreciated. As they prepare dinner, Jack and Kuroi went to the storage room to get the cooking oil. The half breed opens the door and turns on the light. The storage room was organized and clean. He could see labels placed on them, allowing Jack to find the cooking oil with ease. But as he did, Kuroi notices something at the corner. Sitting there was a RC Ford F-Series Monster truck toy. Kuroi tilted his head curiously, recalling that Tempest never had remote control toys since her powers messed them up. The raven flew off Jack's shoulder as he went to get the cooking oil. Kuroi observes the toy curiously, tilting his head and then pecking the toy truck.
"Hey! Watch it birdbrain!" Yelled the toy truck, startling the raven as he began to caw.
"Kuroi? What's wro-what the?!" Jack cut himself off from getting the cooking oil when he saw a small Cybertronian, doing some fighting stance to try scare his raven. "Hey!"
The small Cybertronian saw Jack and panicked. "Uh-oh! I've been spotted! Time for my escape!"
The small Cybertronian quickly transforms into his altmode and drives out of the room. "Hey! Get back here!" Jack yelled out to the small Cybertronian before chasing after him with Kuroi. The toy monster truck zooms through the hall of the house and was about to make a breakthrough until he was suddenly lifted from the ground by a black force.
"What the heck!?" The small Cybertronian exclaims in shock before turning around to see Jack has one of his hands raised and was emitting a black energy. "How are you doing this?!"
"Who are you?!" Jack demands as he uses his magic that he learned from Xenthos and Keizer to stop his opponents from running away. "And what were you doing in the storage room?"
"Put me down!" Yelled the small bot.
"Not until you answer my question." Jack said to him seriously, feeling Wolf Blade's energy coursing through him.
That's when June and Rain came out of the kitchen. "Jack, what's going-what is that!?" June suddenly points at the small robot that was lifted from the ground.
"I think it's a Cybertronian, mom." Jack said to June, still keeping the small bot in the air as it struggles.
That's when Tempest came in with a mixing bowl in hand. "What's with all the-'' Tempest stopped her sentence when she saw the small bot and became annoyed. "Ugh, Wheelie. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, hey, Temp. How ya been?" The bot known as Wheelie asked her casually.
"Tempest, do you know him?" Rain asked curiously.
Tempest sighs in annoyance but nods. "Sadly, yes, I found him about a year ago. I let him stay in my house since he has nowhere to go because the Decepticons didn't accept him. And I told you not to bother my relatives and guests." She told Wheelie.
"Are you kidding me?! I was dying there." Wheelie exclaimed with arms crossed. "You just threw me in here and told me not to leave!"
"I did, so you won't try and harass them." Tempest said to him blankly before sighing. "Since you're discovered, I have to make this introduction short. Jack, June, Rain, this is Wheelie. A Decepticon deserter or whatever. Wheelie, meet my relatives and guests."
"Sup." Wheelie greeted them with a wave.
"Since that's done. Jack, please put him down and get the cooking oil." Tempest said to him before going back to the kitchen.
Jack puts Wheelie down as Kuroi perches on his shoulder. "You've been living with Tempest for a year?" Jack asked Wheelie.
"Well, duh! She just locked me in here and told me not to bother you folks! She's like Megatron but a girl that controls Dark Energon but better." Wheelie said to him.
"Wheelie, shut up and get your small aft to work in setting the table. No funny business." Tempest's voice said through the kitchen.
"I'm comin'! I'm comin'! Sheesh!" Wheelie exclaims as he turns to his alt mode and drives to the dining area.
"...That was...weird." Jack said to Kuroi, who was in agreement.
Soon, Jack went to get the cooking oil and gave it to Tempest. She, with the help of June and Rain, made dinner while Jack set the table with Kuroi and Wheelie. The four sit around the table and eat while Kuroi has his own eating perched and Wheelie has his own sitting area, eating energons. Jack told his mom that their friends from Isola Della Vita had found an invention that could take them to different dimensions and wanted to bring them along. At first, June didn't want this, however; she has a shift on the weekend, and they have adult supervision there. But they have to bring Tempest and Meygana since they know about dimension traveling because of their relatives. Tempest reluctantly agrees to go since she has nothing better to do and has to drag Wheelie out, so he won't mess up the house while they're gone. Much to the small robot's annoyance. With that, Tempest made a call to Meygana, telling her about the trip, which she agreed to come along with her younger sister and brother.
Jack learned from Tempest that Meygana has three siblings. An older brother and two younger siblings. Oldest one is name Zaros Scorpio, he is eldest son and the future heir of the Scorpio lineage. He's studying at a prestigious school in London with perfect scholarship and will one day run the family's mining business. He visits Sunny City during school breaks or holidays. He's good guy, a mellow type if you call, except he is known to be a warlock and master of variation of combats. Plus, he can be deranged if he is in battle or if someone foolish enough dare mess with his family. From what he heard from Meygana, Zaros looks like their mother who has black hair with silver highlights all over, pale white skin, and dull blue eyes. Next is Lusha Scorpio, she is the second daughter of the Scorpio family. She's about sixteen years old, has deep purple knee-length hair with midnight blue and hot pink highlights all over, tan skin, and emerald-green eyes. She's a Freshman in Sunny High and is doing theatrical art, plus singing. Like her older sister, Meygana, she can do witchcraft and spells, and she loves to scare and tease people from time to time. Although her personality is a bit...terrifying. She's peppy yet crazy at the same time. Earning the name, the Craze Jester of Sunny High. And lastly, Friday Scorpio, the youngest son of the Scorpio family. He is fourteen years old, has chin-length, dark red hair with platinum blonde highlight on left side, brown skin, and purple eyes. He is considered to be a genius in the family, loves to invent and study new things. He studies at another school in Sunny City called Sunny Academy of Technology and Science (S.A.T.S. for short). It's a boarding school that teaches advanced education for students who excel in the field of science and technology. Due to his high I.Q., Friday was accepted at SATS at the age of twelve and is known to be the youngest student in the school. Even at a young age, he is well respected. Although Jack did learn that SATS is funded by the Scorpio family and that is why no one dares mess with Friday. And because he's dangerous like his family. He may be a well-mannered boy on the outside, but he can be a psychopath if someone messes with his family or Tempest. Yes, he idolizes Tempest as a family member even though she doesn't show any emotions, she was like another sister to him. They decided to go there in the afternoon since June wants to meet up with the adults to talk about the safety of her son and friends. Mercury bridged them after they drove to a far distance. And were greeted by the teens and children.
"You guys made it!" Val said happily, making her way to them.
Jack smiles as the others come over. "Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss out on the adventure." He said with a smile before looking over to Meygana and her younger siblings.
"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Everyone, this is Meygana Scorpio and her siblings, Lusha and Friday."
"Hi!" Lusha said cheerfully while Friday just smiled at them, which they greeted back.
"So your Meygana Dark has been talking about." Quinn said to Meygana.
"Yeah, why is that? Did you cast a spell on her or something?" Damien asked Meygana, making her giggle. Gem, annoyed with Damien's rudeness, she elbowed him to correct him. "Ow!"
Meygana chuckles at this. "No, darling. No charms or spells, we just have something in common."
"Yup, we both hate people who think they are superior to us." Dark came into the room with a grin on her face. "Sup, Mey."
"Hey, Dark, how was your mission?" Meygana asked her.
"Great, also, I brought someone with us on the trip." Dark said by grabbing someone by the arm from the other side of the door, pulling that said person in to be revealed as Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man? What are you doing here?" Mike asked in surprise.
Spider-Man rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry for the surprise visit. Dark dragged me into this."
"Why?" Aggie asked him curiously.
"He went to alternative dimensions before." Dark grins, nudging Spider-Man's arm with her elbow.
"You did?" Val asked him curiously.
Spider-Man smiles at her under his mask. "Yeah, and boy. It was a pretty wild ride." He said to Val, remembering the time he went to alternative dimensions of different versions of Spider-Mans. But he couldn't tell Dark about the time he met a Spider-Pig. He will never hear the end of it. "So, what dimension are you guys going after you finish up making the transport?"
"We're still deciding." Saphira, leader of the Predacons, came into the room calmly with Aquarius and the others. "Soren was kind enough to show us the schematics of how it operates and that it has a map of the dimensions or better known as multiverse."
"Multi...verse?" Human Celestia asked curiously.
Spider-Man looks at Human Celestia with a surprise and curious look. "Oh, hello, there. Who are you?" He asked her, kneeling down at her height.
Val giggles at him. "Spider-Man, that's Celestia."
Spider-Man was surprised by this and looked at a smiling Human Celestia with wide eyes. "Woah, really?! How?!" He asked in shock and amazement.
"You know that big golden crystal on her collar?" Dark reminds him, earning a nod from him. "Apparently, it activated when they were on a mission with Yo-yo and got into a fight with two crazy Dracons."
"Dracons?" Spider-Man asked in confusion.
"She means them." Yunna's voice was heard from the background.
Spider-Man turns around and lets out a 'Woah!' as he saw the two Dracons, Hybrid and Livewire, stood at the entrance with Yunna, in her Cybertronian form, standing at the middle. She gently pats their sides. Both Dracons were able to recover their lust of hunger, but they are still aggressive. They can be mellow if Yunna is with them, and they have their own territory with enough energons to eat.
"This Hybrid-san and Livewire-san, both Dracons. They are Cybertronian species that have draconic features and can triple change into vehicles, four-legged mode, and bipedal mode." Yunna explains to Spider-Man as she looks at the Dracons, who were busy looking at the newcomers, and their sympathetic looks. "They are also victims of science...they were turned into uncontrollable killing machines."
"Huh, they sound just likeee..." Spider-Man cut himself off when he heard a low rumble. Slowly turning around, he saw Destiny, sitting nearby with a sugarcane in hand, watching him with narrowed eyes like he was daring him to finish that sentence. To prove her point, she broke the sugarcane in half with both her bare hands. Gulping in fear, Spider-Man turns back to the group with a sweat drop. "N-Never mind..."
"Anyways..." Foxtrot spoke, getting everyone's attention. "We learn that the multiverse are multiple universes that comprise everything that exists like the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them."
"And it appears that it is endless." Diamond Silk added with a smile. "Soren told us that Galatrias used to travel to different dimensions to study new cultures. It was very useful for them and now for us."
"That's amazing." Jack commented with a smile. "So, in this dimension traveling, how do you pilot it?"
"We'll show you." Diamond Silk said.
They lead them to a cavern-like structure. There, in the center, was a big orb that floated by itself. Jack, Rain, Tempest, June, Meygana, and her siblings were fascinated by this. Val came over to the orb with a wide smile on her face.
"Soren said that this orb will open up the dimensional portals." She said brightly.
"Woah, that's amazing." Jack said, looking at the orb. "Does it still work?"
"You asked her." Foxtrot replied, confusing them, before gesturing to the orb.
Soon enough, as they look at the orb, it makes a faint glow and a hologram of a teenage girl with long yellow pigtails, green futuristic shades, and her outfit looks futuristic as well. They watched as the girl bowed at them respectfully.
"Greetings, I am Tech, Galatria A.I. unit." Tech said to them before standing up.
"A.I. unit?" Jack asked curiously.
"Indeed, Tech here controls the ship, and possibly the entire island." Foxtrot explains to them. "She will be the one keeping us intact and driving the ship to a safe destination."
"Really? Like where?" Jack asked them.
"I can take you to dimension 455, a world filled with bounceable cushions. Dimension 339, a dimension covered in water and only sea life can live in. Dimension 9813, a dimension filled with ice cream. Or perhaps, dimension 7823, a world covered in gems." Tech listed out the world they should go to.
They were amazed how Tech knew so much about the dimensions. "Wow, I guess I don't have to worry." June said with a slight relief.
"No need to worry, Ms. Darby, I shall report to you in each dimension we travel." Tech assures June, making her smile.
"Thank you, Tech. That's very kind of you." June said with a smile.
"Since they are going to travel with us, we are making sure to put tracking devices on everyone. That way we'll know where they are." Sage said, making June feel more relief.
"That's good to hear." June said with a smile.
So, for the whole day, the Predacons assisted Foxtrot and Diamond Silk with the dimensional traveling by setting things up for their travel. As they did, Dark was taking June to a room for her to stay for the night since Jack didn't want her home alone. June appreciates them letting her stay for the night before she heads to work.
"The Predacons helped us find a good place to build a cabin for the kids to sleep over. That way, whenever the kids want to spend the night with the Predacons, they can sleep here." Dark explained, showing June her room.
"Thank you." June said softly, admiring the room and its décor.
Dark was about to leave the room until a thought came into her mind. She knew to...bother someone's personal life, but she was curious about June and her relationship with her Monstrum husband. "Hey...not to pry in your personal life, but...how did you meet your husband? Like did he show up out of nowhere or what?"
June made a small smile and sat on the bed with a sigh. "Honestly, he actually saved my life." She said truthfully.
Dark raises a brow. "How?"
"Well, it all started when I was in my junior year in high school, I was heading home from a part time job at a café." June began to tell her tale to Dark. "Until I was almost mugged by some thugs."
"Whatcha girls talking about?" Spider-Man asked, coming into the room with the others.
"June was talking about how she met her hubby." Dark said, grinning when she saw June blushing.
Jack's eyes widened in interest as he came over to his mother. "You were talking about dad?" He asked, sitting next to her as June nodded her head.
"Is it okay if we listen too?" Val asked her curiously.
"Yeah!" Moonracer agrees from the window. With her were Elita-One, Chromia, the Dinobots, Saphira, Aquarius, some Predacons, Lycos, Cliffjumper, Skyquake, the two Dracons, some predacons, Ravage, Rumble and Frenzy, Diamond Silk, and her team.
June smiles at her, "Of course." She said before she began her tale.
June told them she met Jack's father when she was still in high school, she was finishing up from her part time job at a local café, so she could pay her tuition fee since she lived with her grandmother after her parents were killed in a plane crash when she was only ten years old. June learned how to be responsible at a young age as she supports her grandmother. But when she was going home after a late-night shift, she was confronted by some thugs that wanted her money. Of course, June tried to escape, but the thugs surrounded her. She would've been robbed if it wasn't for Silver who showed up out of nowhere and beat the living hell out of those thugs. He saved her but soon left before June could properly thank him. June said to them that she couldn't stop thinking about Silver after he saved her. She tried to find him once at the same alley, but he wasn't there. June just went to school to finish her education. She soon found him when she went to the library to do some research. She saw him sitting at the corner, reading a book. June wanted to meet him, although it didn't go as planned as she accidentally bumped into him. At first, she thought he would be mad, but instead. He just helped her up and was about to leave until she called out to him, thanking him for saving her that night and asking about his name. At first, he didn't answer, he just faced away from her. But after a few seconds, he replied, saying his name was Silver, no last name, before leaving once more. The girls, hence Kendall, Tempest, Destiny, and Dark, eyes sparkle at the story, finding it romantic. Moonracer and Starfleet were also fascinated by the story, finding it cute for June to meet her true love.
"That's it?" Swoop suddenly asked, standing besides an awestruck and happy Moonracer. "He didn't just sweep you off your feet or take you out for dinner? That's a bad way to get the fe-" Swoop was suddenly cut off when Moonracer, who was still focused on the house, suddenly punched him hard on the face, which made him faceplant on the ground. "OW!"
"Shut up and let her continue!" Moonracer said, optics sparkling as she looked at June with eagerness, getting strange looks from the group, except for Destiny and Tempest, they just stared at her blankly. The males, minus Hybrid and Livewire, stared at the fallen Pteranodon dinobot with wide optics, shocked how strong Moonracer is.
"...Okay then..." June said, clearing her throat and continued her tale. She said that she goes to the library every day to find Silver. She did one day, as she saw him helping the old librarian in restocking the shelves. She was astonished how he was so calm and easily followed the librarian's instructions. June wanted to come to him, but instead, he came to her, after he spotted her spying at him from the corner. She was embarrassed at first, but instead of asking her why she's spying on him, he asked her what book she wanted. Even though she was embarrassed, she replied to him that she was looking for a book about human anatomy. Silver gave her the book she needs and left while June reads. However, she would look up from her book to watch Silver assist some people to search for the books they needed. June wanted to talk to him for hours, but she was so...so shy and nervous to even utter a word. Until Silver came to her suddenly, asking if she needed help. It startled June, but soon snapped out of it as she told him she has trouble remembering the human organs and blood types since she is studying to be a nurse. Silver assisted her for the whole day, teaching the knowledge she needs. As they stayed together, they slowly got to know each other, June didn't know that Silver was a Monstrum. He told her that he is a traveler, learning about the places he goes to and doing odd jobs here and there. Silver mentioned he has a brother, but they stopped talking for years. Silver wouldn't talk about it. Silver was there for June throughout the years, helping her with her studies and getting her home safely after work. Soon, they began starting a relationship, Silver was a compassionate man. He was there for June when her grandmother died when she graduated high school. He even came with her when she got a scholarship to a medical school in Washington DC. The two traveled together and rented an apartment room. There, Silver and June got part time jobs together to support themselves. Silver even decided to join the military as a career choice. They stayed together for a long time till graduation. And when June did, that's when Silver proposed to her to be his wife, to which she agreed, and got married.
They decided to move back to Jasper, Nevada, where June will work as a nurse in Jasper's hospital and Silver will deploy for the military. The two lived a happy life together as a married couple, and soon their lives grew even more happier when Jack was born. June said that when she told Silver about the baby, he was shocked and amazed by this information like it was new to him. And when Jack was born, Silver became even more happy to see little Jack in his arms, she said that he didn't put him down even when it was time for bed.
"Those were happy times with Silver before he was...taken from us. I didn't know that he was abducted by the Monstrums and was keeping us hidden." June said sadly as she looked at Jack. "No matter what he is, he loved us, more than anything in this world."
Jack made a small smile on his face. "I know, mom. Dad was always there when we needed him." He said softly. Alex, Sofia, and Aggie's eyes began to water, finding the story beautiful. Moonracer and Starfleet were also moved by this story.
"That is the most beautiful story I have even heard." Meygana said with a smile.
"Yeah! I didn't know you have a beautiful life with a monstrous being from space!" Lusha said with a grin.
"It still amazes me that you have won his affection." Soren said to June.
"What do you mean?" June asked in confusion.
"As we all know, Monstrums never show signs of love to any other. But June somehow made him feel love for the first time in millennia." Soren explains to her and the others. "And it is a miracle you survive childbirth."
"What do you mean?" Quinn asked in concern.
"Well, Monstrums are a dangerous race. Their power and energy are too great thus if a female of a lower race ever courted with a higher race, it would result into miscarriage or death from childbirth. But if a child was somehow born, it won't survive for a month." Soren explained to them.
"Woah, that's dark, even for me." Dark commented with her arms crossed.
"It is a miracle that June and Jack survive for seventeen years." Damien said with wide eyes.
"It is, I am still amazed how Jack survived his childhood without any life-threatening diseases or birth defects." Soren said to them.
"Now that I think about it, Silver would constantly check on Jack when he was baby, worried that he might have caught a fever or a cold." June said to them.
"I believe that Silver has devoted himself to become a good father to Jack and a loving husband to you, June." Rain said with a small smile. "A rare trait for a Monstrums since they don't feel love, but one now does."
"Guess love does conquer all." Dark commented with a smirk. "Welp, guess we know that there are some beings who could change."
"Indeed, a rare trait indeed." Soren added with a nod.
Suddenly, Foxtrot receives a message from Xenthos, saying that he and his brother found something that they should see. She informs everyone to meet at the clearing of the island. This confuses everyone but soon follows as they head to a huge clearing. There, a dark purple energy swirled around the air before something huge appeared, landing on the ground with a loud 'thud!' creating clouds of dust. Everyone, except for Tempest and Destiny, stared at the ship in shock as they realized that this was the Decepticon's warship, Nemesis.
"The hell is decepticon fucking warship here?!" Dark exclaimed, summoning her guns to fire.
"Hold your fire!" Xenthos's voice came from above. They all looked up to see Xenthos and Keizer in their Cybertronian forms. With there were Mystcia, Angel, and Morphy. The three were with the Corvus Twins for a reason. They got off from the Nemesis with Xenthos and Keizer. "We can explain about this." Xenthos said to group, especially to Foxtrot.
"Yes, explain to us HOW you manage to get a Decepticon warship?!" Foxtrot said to him sternly.
"And why does it look like it took a beat down or whatever?" Damien suddenly asked, looking at the beat up ship.
"We found it in the middle of nowhere in Nevada. It was broken down and abandoned, as if something attacked them and forced the Decepticons to retreat." Xenthos explains to them.
"What caused them to abandon ship?" Meyagana asked.
"Monstrums." Soren replied. They looked over to see Soren, who summoned his wings, was investigating the claw marks that were left on the ship from above. His voice was serious and focus. "They must've attacked them with no mercy and destroyed anything in their path."
"But why attack the Decepticons?" Skyquake asked.
"Many reasons, they were either in the way of their plans or they just wanted to enjoy the Decepticons being tortured." Soren listened, causing the former Decepticons to worry. "Either way, we must not let our guard down, we have to make sure Princess Valentina is safe and far from them."
"And that's why we're going to dimension traveling, considering Monstrums can't travel through it, right?" Dark questions Soren, earning a nod from him.
"Indeed, they have not yet mastered dimensional travel. And it will be a perfect way for us to search for a safe dimension to hide the princess from them." Soren said to them.
"Do you know when they will strike?" Diamond Silk asked Soren, while flying back to them.
"I do not know; they can be difficult to predict." Soren said to them.
"Anyway, why did you bring the ship here? What's the reason?" Gem asked them.
"Well, there could be hidden Decepticon archives in there." Dark stated out, causing everyone to look at her as she shrugs her shoulders. "Just saying."
"You know, Dark has a point. We should see what the Decepticon has left behind for us to use." Foxtrot said to them.
They agreed and went in the warship. They kids were being carried by Foxtrot's sparkeater, Daisy, while the teens followed them by foot. They saw how messed up the ship was from the inside like a hurricane came in. Skyquake checks if there was anything left behind from his brother while Ravage and his brothers search for their master's room. Hybrid and Livewire pry opened the doors that lead to the control room, allowing Yunna and the others to get in there. Yunna thanked the two Dracons, who bowed in return, before the group looked around the damaged control room. Dark lets out a long whistle as she looks at the control room.
"Damn, talk about a house wreck." She mutters out, jumping on top of a monitor. "Makes you wonder if the Decepticons got a fighting chance."
"I doubt it." Soren said, flying through the room with a serious expression on his face. "Monstrums do not have any honor as they attack them without warning nor mercy."
"They must've made a run for it before the ship was infested." Jack said, looking around the ship, feeling dread in his stomach.
Noticing Jack's distress, Rain went over to him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Jack? Are you alright?" She asked in concern.
Jack looked at her and nodded slightly. "Kind of, the ship brings back some bad memories of how it tried to kill me and my friends."
"What do you mean?" Val asked on top of Daisy after she and the others heard what he meant.
"Well, the first time on the ship was when I was dragged along with my friends to save an agent. Then we came back here to get archives of the Iacon database, but the ship was actually alive and was infused by Dark Energon."
"Come again?" Tempest suddenly asked her cousin in a serious tone. "Did you say that this warship was infused by Dark Energon?"
"Yeah, Ratchet thinks that Megatron was infused with dark energon so it could repair itself, but it didn't go too well." Jack explains to his cousin.
"Let me guess, it came to life, got a mind of its own, and tried to kill everyone." Tempest said to her cousin blankly.
Jack shrugs his arms a bit. "In a way, yes. We were lucky to dump the dark energon out of it before it could go to Manhattan."
"Why was it heading towards the big apple?" Damien asked Jack.
"Because that's where the first set of coordinates was located. Since the Iacon relics landed on Earth many years ago before the city was even built, it was buried beneath it." Jack explains to them.
"The ship would've destroyed anything in its path to get to it." Leonidas stated as he looked at the controls. "Why did Megatron not try to control the ship? Didn't you say he was infused with dark energon?"
"Because he can't." Xenthos said to them, walking in the room with his brother. "Did Megatron infuse himself with dark energon?"
Jack nodded his head. "Yeah, why?"
"That's the problem. Dark Energon can't be simply controlled if some infused themselves with it." Xenthos explains the usage of dark energon. "It has to flow naturally through someone born with it."
"Please explain to us about this, Xenthos." Diamond Silk said, curious about the answer.
"As you know, me, Keizer, and Tempest can control dark energon with ease since we are descendants of Unicron, we have no problem." Xenthos explains to everyone. "Or in other words, you have to be born with dark energon in order to control it. But infusing yourselves with dark energon, not only would risk your spark, but also cannot control any manifested objects that were infused with dark energon."
"And that is why only descendants of Unicron can control dark energon, for it is a part of us." Keizer added. "Don't know why Megatron thinks infusing the dark energon in him would allow him to control it."
"In my case, he wasn't thinking at all. If it were me, I would easily control this ship and collect all the hidden secrets in the machine." Tempest said blankly, looking around the room. Suddenly, she felt the room quiet and felt all eyes and optics on her. Turning towards the group, her face deepens in annoyance when she realizes what's on their minds. "Scrap."
They all were at the energon infuser room of the ship. There were Energons scattered everyone due to the crash. Tempest was being carried by Keizer as her arms were crossed as she glared at the energon infuser.
"You can't be serious." Tempest said blankly.
"Come on, Tempy, it's the best way for you to train your dark energon powers. And what better way to do so than using this bad boy!" Keizer encourages her.
"I thought you said that I have to train on smaller things before doing the big things." She reminded him in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey, you said you wanted a challenge, then this is your chance." Keizer encourages with a grin.
Tempest rolled her eyes before turning to her other uncle. "Uncle X, you can't seriously agree to this."
Xenthos shrugs his shoulders. "Wish I could, but this will be the next level in your training, and it is time for you to step up your game."
Sighing, Tempest decided to agree with her uncle's words, and then jumped off from Keizer's metallic hand before her whole body glowed with a dark purple light. There, she transforms into her Cybertronian form. She has the same height as Mystica. Her metal colorings are silver, white, dark purple, and black. Her eyes were the same with slit pupils and black background. Tempest made her way to the energon infuser. She lifts up her open servo and summons a ball of dark energon. Her optics emit a dark purple fiery glow. She brings the dark energon ball in the infuser, allowing it to be absorbed. Soon, the ship started to shake, causing everyone to hold on, minus Tempest as she looked up to the ceiling, her eyes narrowed as she felt the ship begin to repair itself and start to come alive.
"Nemesis, awake from your slumber." Tempest spoke, her voice mixed with a demonic one. "You are in my control; you shall not harm me nor anyone. But fret not, you are not a slave to me...but a friend. We shall work together to unlock the secrets of ancient Cybertronian and help each other as well. So, what do you say?"
There was a dead silence around the ship. Everyone was on edge, wondering if Nemesis will accept Tempest's offer. About two or three minutes later, the ship spoke in a deep and scary tone. "I...accept...my mistress." Nemesis replied, causing everyone to be relieved by this.
"Mistress, huh? Damn, girl, who knew you got it going on." Dark said with a grin while Meygana giggled at this.
Tempest ignores them as she looks up at the ceiling. "Nemesis, please assist Foxtrot and her crew with the research and data that the Decepticons have stored and encrypt them." She orders Nemesis.
"As you wish." Came Nemesis's reply.
Tempest nodded her head and told the group that they were good to go. Soon afterward, Nemesis was airborne and flew towards Mercury's location. There, he lands a few feet from Mercury, before opening his hanger, allowing everyone to get out. They met up with Strongarms, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, who were waiting for them outside at Mercury. Seeing them coming over, Strongarm stood up and saluted them with discipline.
"Strongarm, you don't have to salute us whenever we return." Diamond Silk told her.
"Yes, Ma'am! My apologies, Ma'am!" Strongarm said respectfully.
Diamond Silk shook her head at Strongarm, she can't blame her for being disciplined, she was trained all her life and learned to respect authorities. Skywarp soon walked past Strongarm and greeted them all casually. "Hey, welcome back, and you brought the decepticon ship."
"Yeah, but no decepticons." Dark answered him. "Apparently, they were attacked by Monstrums. We are not sure where the remaining survivors are, but we'll find out soon. Right now, we have to get ready for our dimensional travel!"
Everyone agrees before getting ready for their first dimensional travel. Val suggested bringing her Uncle Owen and her dino friends to. Like Ivy and Iris (the Indominus Rex Sisters), Assassin and Hunter (the Indominus Spino Brothers), Monica the Microraptor, Ingrid the Inostrancevia, Snow the Mortiferous Raptor, Steven the Stegoceratops, and the raptor squad. Aggie will also want to bring her Uncle Archie since he wanted to spend time with her on the weekends and he will be fascinated by dimensional traveling. And Quinn wants to bring her dad on this trip because she loves him. Gem's parents (who are alive and came from the Little Girl and the Xenomorph stories) will also accompany them because she wanted to spend more time with them. Wu and Carl will be also accompanying them since they are fellow scientists just like Foxtrot and her team, and because Carl is an alien. Afterwards, June left on the next day while the others were preparing for dimensional traveling. Val was sitting on top of a metal desk at the control room of Mercury's. With her were Celestia, in her human form, Monica, Redford the dog, Flora the mutant plant, and Pluto the Poro. They used to have a mutant ice borer named Cuddles but he was getting big, and they had to ship him to Monster Island, a military island that housed mutated animals.
Behind them were three wolves. Two were mutant dire wolves, both controlling different elements aka Ice and Fire. They are Yuki and Sombra. And the other wolf was actually a Joka Wolf named Jakal. A mythical creature with purple reptilian eyes, a body of a wolf with dragonish features, has red fur and scales, sharp claws, huge teeth like a Saber Tooth tiger and piranha like canine teeth, four wings with blue neon stripes and an earwig like pincer tail and has spikes on the back of his neck. It's about the size of an adult male lion. Jakal wasn't always a Joka Wolf, but rather a human. He was turned into this by a witch doctor falsely accused of betrayal and was turned into the immortal creature, the Joka Wolf. But Jakal doesn't mind, he got used to his form and forgot all about his human life and got used to his new life as Joka Wolf. He wasn't around since he was with H.E.A.T. (Humanitarian Environmental Analysis Team), helping out Zilla (a Mutated iguana) and Kaila (a mutated Komodo dragon) on various mutant fighting missions. So far, there weren't any signs of mutants, so Jakal decided to head back to Jurassic World to spend time with the children. Zilla and Kaila couldn't come since they have to stay with H.E.A.T. just in case a mutant monster suddenly comes out of nowhere.
"Everything is almost ready for departure, princess." Soren said, coming over to Val, followed by Irelia the Xenomorph/Human hybrid, Summer the Phoenix, and Kirit the Scraplet.
"You know, you don't have to keep calling me princess all the time." Val said to Soren. "I'm all right being called Val."
"My apologies, but you are the last of the royal lineage, and it is my sworn duty to protect you." Soren said to her respectfully.
Val just nodded her head as she watched Diamond Silk and her crew discussing with Tech about their travel. "Hey, Soren?" She asked, causing the wind Galatria to look at her. "Did Princess Aretha have any knights? Or bodyguards?"
Soren smiles at her gently as he sits beside her. "She did indeed. King Andreous worries for his sister, so he assigned his strongest and loyal knight, Xander."
Val tilts her head. "Xander? Who's Xander?" She asked Soren while Irelia plays with human Celestia and their little friends.
"Xander is the strongest and most powerful Galatria knight there was." He explains with a sad smile. "He was loyal to the king and had a great friendship with the princess."
"Woah, what element is he?" Val asked curiously.
"Well, truth be told, he isn't all Galatria." Soren answered, confusing her in the process. "Xander is actually half Galatria and Monstrum." Hearing this, Val was shocked to hear such information. She thought that Monstrums hated each other. "As you know, Monstrums resent Galatrias, by Thanatos, believe the only way to defeat the Galatrias was themselves. So, he kidnapped a Fire Galatria and forced a bond. It was too dangerous as it made her weak and causes her to die after she gave birth to Xander. He was trained to kill every Galatria in existence." Val gasped by this information. "But he was soon rescued by the king and was taken in to the Galatria community. There, he was trained properly, and King Andreous raised him like he was his son."
"Woah, he must be very loyal to my ancestor." Val said with a smile.
Soren smiles back. "Indeed, he was, and that is why King Andreous assigned him to be his sister's bodyguard." He said to her, "And he keeps his job very seriously."
Val giggles at him. "I wish I could meet him. He sounds nice."
Soren patted her head gently. "He would be thrilled to see you, princess. As he will protect you with his life." He said to him, "And if you encounter him, you will know by his arm. It is like armor made of scales."
"Okay." Val said.
"All right, people! Get ready! We're about to leave." Foxtrot announced as it was broadcast around the island.
"I believe it is time to depart." Soren said to Val kindly. "By the way, I've been meaning to ask, how did your friend Damien gather all your prehistoric friends?"
"Oh, that's easy, he places holograms for the hybrid and raptor paddocks, and leaves a note for Barry and Claire." Val said to Soren.
"How did he pull that off?" Soren asked curiously.
"He had help with Skywarp, Rumble, Frenzy, and Impossible Man." Val said to him.
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that Impossible Man came soon after Damien sent him a message, wanting Impossible Man to join in the dimensional travel. And of course, Impossible Man gladly came along. Plus, he was the one that helped bring the hybrids and raptors to the trip. Soren shook his head with a smile before getting up.
"Come now, princess, we should get ready." Soren said, offering a hand to her.
Smiling, Val accepted his hand before he helped her up. Later, they were at the dimensional control room, and saw Tech preparing to depart. The room was surrounded with holographic screens, filled with dimensional ties and rifts. They saw her choosing their destination. Everyone was all ready and prepared for departure. Hydrous the colossal Predacon laid on the beach as it was big enough for him. Soon, Tech activated the systems, and the ship began to shake.
"Ship's engines fully functional, all systems ready, departure at t-minus fifteen seconds." Tech announced. The island slowly rises from the water, beneath it was hidden magical circles with runes on them. As soon as the ship was airborne, a huge portal appeared out of thin air with runes surrounding it, and Tech did the countdown.
"In five, four, three, two, one...dimensional traveling access, complete." Tech said.
And in the blink of an eye, the ship enters the portal as it closes behind it, leaving no trace of it when it left.
At the unknown dimension, Xander was in his Monstrum form, helping to repair the ship that housed the sleeping girls inside. Since they crashed landed on this unknown dimension, they tried to fix the ship the best way they could. Nightscar was helping him with the repairs while the rest gather any useful items at the storage, anything to fix their transport's engine. They've been here about three days; surviving and trying not to get in each other's face. When they camped last night, they asked Xander how he pulled off the plan in rescuing them. It was a long shot, but able to pull it off thanks to Nightscar. As it turns out, the wolf Monstrum wanted to save his brother, Silvereyes, for years. Trying to find a way to get him out of prison without getting caught. He's been working as a spy for Natrix in order to find Thanatos's weakness. Then they form a plan in saving them and Silvereyes at the same time by bringing a prisoner aka Ratchet, who agreed to do it after Raf came to him last night at Hanger E with Crusoe, lead him to a canyon where he met the four Monstrum rouges. There, they set up a plan to save them, hiding their energy signatures and plan that daring escape. They brought along Raf and Crusoe since they need extra tech support. So far, their rescue was a somewhat a success until they were brought to this dimension with a broken engine. They barely could fix their only source of transportation, considering that it took heavy damage from the blast from the Monstrum's mothership. Nightscar believes that it will take them years to repair the engine. They were lucky to stay alive after Nightscar stored away energon in the storage unit but will only last for a month. So, they have to rationed it.
"Okay, try it now!" Nightscar called out to Natrix. The snake Monstrum was at the controls, fixing anything that seemed out of place, and checking the systems from time to time. Soon, Natrix typed something on the monitors, allowing the engines to activate itself. However, the engines stopped and created a spark, followed by dark smokes. Nightscar and Xander covered their noses, coughing at the smoke coming to their face. Xander called out to Natrix to stop, which he did, as he and Nightscar got down from the engine.
"Bah! The blast made the engine too severe to be repaired." Nightscar said in annoyance.
"So, it can't fly?" Sunstreak asked in shock and distress.
"It appears so, luckily. The powers are still running, keeping the girls sleep and frozen." Nightscar explains the situation.
"Why should you keep them frozen?" Bulkhead asked in concern. "It doesn't seem right to keep them frozen like that."
"Would you rather have crying little girls running away when they see us? Big and scary looking beings from space?" Nightscar started out with an annoyed tone. Hearing this, they knew that he was right. They can't handle crying little humans. They have little knowledge on caring for them.
"Good point." Bulkhead said agreement.
"Speaking of humans, how's your human?" Nightscar asked, referring towards Raf.
They look towards the young boy. They saw him sitting on the ground with Crusoe the Thunderbird by his side. Raf was still recovering from what he just did. Teleporting them here of this strange dimension of unknown. They have yet to know how he did or where they are or what they should do. They have no experience in dimensional traveling and they still contact others from their dimension.
"He's...he's still processing on what he just did." Arcee said, looking at Raf with concern and worry.
"I still can't believe that pipsqueak could pull off such a trick." Crosshair said, looking at Raf.
"Indeed, such a power is a mystery to all." Drift said. "Do your kind know about this power?"
"To be honest with you all, Monstrums have no knowledge in dimensional traveling." Nightscar said, getting all optics on him. "We have yet to figure out how dimensional traveling works. Only the Galatrias knew about dimensional traveling."
"Really? They were the first?" Mirage asked in shock.
"Indeed." Xander said, getting all looks from the Cybertronians. "Galatrias have a machine that helps them travel through dimensions. They were the only ones with that knowledge. But they are gone as well as their machine."
"Great, just great, we're in the middle of an unknown dimension, trapped with low supplies with greatest enemies, and who knows what kind of creatures that live here!?" Starscream yells on top of the voice box.
Suddenly, Trickster appeared behind him. "Yo!"
"AAAHHHH!" Starscream screams in fear, falling from his behind.
Skylynx and Darksteel laughed at his misfortune while Trickster ignored Starscream. "Check what the Dracons and I found." He said to them with a grin.
"What is it?" Xander questions him.
"Better check it yourself." Trickster said with a grin.
Unsure what he meant but decided to follow him. Natrix stayed behind with Ratchet, Shockwave, and Silvereyes to finish the engines. The rest followed Trickster to an area that was a fifteen-minute walk. When they arrive, they find an abandoned village, a human village to be exact. Everyone was surprised to see this. Trickster grins at the discovery.
"Amazing, right?"
"Yeah...it is..." Wheeljack said, eyeing the village, finding it strange to see a human village in another dimension.
"If there's a village, then there must be humans here." Megatron spoke, glaring around the village.
"But where are they humans?" Optimus questions, looking at the abandoned village.
Xander examines the village and notices that everything looks old. "By the looks of things, I believe that they were running from something." He explains, examining his surroundings.
"From what?" Sideswipe asked, looking at the village.
"I am not sure, but whatever it was, they had to leave everything behind." Xander said.
Nightscar observes the village. "Well, we should look around for anything useful. Try not to-" Nightscar was cut off when he and others heard a loud crash. Following the source, they saw Darksteel and Skylynx standing on a now broken hut that they just accidentally broke down. Nightscar made an annoyed look while the two Predacons gave a weak chuckle. Meanwhile, Raf was looking round the village, seemingly curious about this place. He saw huts of different shapes, a huge fireplace in the center, and strange looking weapons and clothing scattered about. Raf soon spotted a shield on the ground. Curious, he picked up and saw a thunderbird emblem on it. Raf was surprised as it reminded him of his great grandfather's blanket, he had the same emblem on it.
"Woah..." Raf said in amazement. Soon, his Thunderbird came to him, looking at the shield curiously. "Take a look, Crusoe, it's you." Raf said to the Thunderbird, who tilted his head. "My Papa Crusoe has a symbol like that on his blanket. I wonder why Papa Crusoe has the same symbol as this?" Crusoe lets out a gentle shriek, making Raf smile at him. "Yeah, it is strange."
"Raf, we're heading back." Xander called out to him.
"Coming!" Raf said, putting the shield down as he and Crusoe followed the others back to the ship.
As they returned, they set up camp for the night again. Raf was able to eat cook fish since Crusoe hunted for him at the ocean below the floating island. The Cybertonians and Predacons ate their energon rations. They were discussing a way to get back to their dimension. Xander told them that it is impossible for them to return considering that they don't have tech for it. Much to their annoyance.
"So, we're stuck here with no way out?" Ironhide asked in annoyance and anger.
"Indeed, so far, we are not sure how long we can survive here." Xander said to them, making everyone, minus serious ones, groan in annoyance.
"Aww! Just what we need, more bad news!" Sunstreak whines in annoyance. "We're trapped here for the rest of our lives! And what's worse is that we have three Predacons that might eat us in our sleep!"
"HEY!"Skylynx and Darksteel exclaimed in anger while Predaking glares at Sunstreak.
"Now that you mentioned the Predacons, how did you two survive?" Roadbuster suddenly asked for the two Predacons.
"Yeah, how did you guys survive that explosion?" Smokescreen asked curiously.
"That is something that I wish to know as well." Knightfang said in agreement.
Both cloned Predacons looked at each other and then to the group with confused looks. "We have...no idea actually." Skylynx said to them.
"What do you mean?" Raf suddenly asked.
"We don't know how we survived or how we got out of there." Darksteel confessed. "All we could remember is waking up in the middle of the forest and attacking Breakdown. No offense." He suddenly apologizes to Breakdown, who waves it off.
"Now that's a mystery." Jazz said. "There's no way you guys got out of there by yourselves."
"That is correct." Xander suddenly spoke, getting everyone's attention. "Do you ever wonder how you two survive?" He questions the two Predacons.
"...Not really." Was Darsteel's answer.
Xander ignores that and continues. "It's because someone has saved you, the both of you that is." This gave everyone confused and somewhat shocked looks. "But it was neither Autobots or Decepticons. Instead, someone that was outside your group, someone that saved not just Skylynx and Darksteel, but the entire Predacon clones."
"What?!" Everyone, minus Soundwave, exclaimed in shock. They didn't know that there was someone that saved the Predacons.
"Do you know who saved them? Or where are they?" Predaking asked desperately.
"That, I do not know, whoever saved them was quick and didn't want to be spotted." Xander explains to them.
"Then where are the other Predacons and why did he leave two to the Decepticons?" Bluestreak asked.
"He probably felt pity towards Predaking and left Darksteel and Skylynx behind, so he could have a pack." Xander answered.
"Yeah...this guy really has a soft heart." Trickster said, messing around with a communicator, trying to text Miko so he can call her short and to annoy her again.
There was silence within the group unsure what to make up for this information. However, Breakdown has some thoughts. He couldn't forget the fateful encounter with Darksteel and Skylynx. Something or someone was calling out to him, leading him to them.
"Wait a nanosecond...I just remembered something." Breakdown suddenly spoke, getting all optics and eyes on him. "When me and Dreadwing came to get Predaking, someone called out to me into the forest, leading me to Darksteel and Skylynx."
"Really?" Predaking asked in somewhat excitement.
Breakdown nodded his head. "And it wasn't a mech, it was actually a femme."
"A femme? Do you know if she was human?" Xander questions him.
"I...I don't know, I just heard her voice through my head." Breakdown explains, rubbing his helm.
"That's strange, are you sure you didn't hit your head or something?" Jolt asked the former wrecker.
"No, he didn't." Silvereyes said, catching everyone off guard. "Breakdown, the one that contacted you was using telepathy."
"Telepathy?" Raf suddenly asked. "Isn't that psychic people use for communicating with someone else through their heads?"
"That is correct." Nightscar was the one that answered. "Telepathy is kinda like Cybertronian's commlinks, but they used their minds and no one from the outside could hear them."
"In this case, this mysterious savior wanted only Breakdown to find Darksteel and Skylynx. But the question is...why?" Xander said, looking at Breakdown.
"Maybe it had to do with-*Beeeeep!* Augh, frag it!" Breakdown yells in annoyance as he couldn't explain the reason. The others, minus the Decepticons, stared at him in surprise and confusion, wondering what's wrong with Breakdown. Bumblebee made beeps and whirling sounds, asking what was wrong with him.
"Breakdown has been trying to tell us who saved him from Airachnid." Knockout said, getting Arcee's attention.
"What do you mean?" Arcee asked in a demanding tone.
That's when Dreadwing answer. "On our mission to assassinate her, Breakdown told me that someone got to her, saving his life in the process." He answered before looking at Xander. "Do you believe that it was the same person?"
"If so, then why did she prevent you from telling the truth?" Roadbuster asked in confusion.
"Or maybe there were two." Xander said, putting the pieces together. "Think about it, one used a spell to prevent you from explaining while the other was leading you to the Predacons. It all makes sense, there are more players in this game of survival."
"Another pack." Silvereyes replied, looking at the fire. "Whoever these groups are, they know what they are doing."
"Plus, they know how to hide well." Trickster added while shaking his communicator to get the signal.
Xander ignores Trickster as he looks at Nightscar. "Is there a possibility that there are rouge Monstrums out there? Helping the Predacons?"
Nightscar rubbed his chin. "I am not a certain, rouge Monstrums don't often show much heroism to others."
"Sounds just like Starscream." Trickster jokes, earning a few laughs from the group while Starscream glares at him. "Hey, I just realized something. Breakdown, you said that you can't speak out how you were saved right?" He asked the former wrecker, who nodded. "What if there is another way of explaining about it."
"How? We tried everything to get to know how he was saved." Knockout said to him. "We tried a psychic patch link, writing it, and drawing it out! But it was being messed up! The words and image jumbled up to nonsense!"
"He can't speak or write it out, but that doesn't mean he could act it out." Trickster said, getting confused looks. "There's a loophole on this, and the humans call it...charades!"
Later on, the whole group minus Soundwave, Megatron, Starscream, and Shockwave, were trying to figure out what Breakdown is trying to say or act. So, after a long hour of tutoring how to play, Breakdown was now ready to show them what saved him from Airachnid. Darksteel said random things that Breakdown didn't describe, much to everyone's annoyance.
"Is it an energon? No wait! Is it a ship! It's a ship." Darkstalker guessed, only to Breakdown to shake his head multiple times. Breakdown keeps making gestures of being small.
"Darksteel, that is not what he is trying to say." Xander said.
"Then what is he trying to say?" Skylynx asked him.
"Judging by how he was making gestures of being small, it is either small, tiny, or little." Came Xander's reply.
Breakdown made an approval gesture, like if he was saying that little was the first word. As they got the first clue, Breakdown moved onto the next clue by pointing at Raf. "Me?" Raf asked in confusion.
"He saved you?" Skylynx asked in confusion.
Breakdown shakes his helm and points at Raf again. Luckily, Nightscar understood what this meant. "I believe he is trying to point out the species. It is human, isn't it?"
Nodding his helm, Breakdown did a correct gesture. "And I have a gut feeling that this little human is a girl, correct?" Trickster asked, which earned a nod from Breakdown.
"A little human girl saved Breaky from Airachnid?" Wheeljack asked with a scoff. "That's no surprise."
"I don't think she didn't alone." Xander said with narrowed eyes. "Was there anyone with her?" Breakdown nodded his head. "So it's true then."
"What is?" Hot Rod asked him.
"That Breakdown was rescued by Princess Aretha's descendant. And she must've been with someone that was strong enough to take down the one known as Airachnid." Xander said to them.
"Well, whoever was with her, must've been one tough cookie." Jazz said.
"And is probably protecting the young princess and the predacons." Xander added with narrowed eyes. "We need to find a way out of here and get back to our dimension."
"How? You said you don't have the tech to do so." Bulkhead said.
"We don't but we can locate dimensional portals." Natrix said to them.
"Dimensional portals?" Shockwave asked curiously, interested about this new discovery.
"Think of it as a groundbridge, but instead of taking you to another area or planet, it will take you to another dimension." Natrix explains to them. "But finding one could be tricky as it tends to appear whenever it likes and would randomly open to another dimension."
"Is there an alternative?" Megatron asked, looking at Natrix with narrowed optics.
"Not really, if I don't pinpoint a dimensional portal, we're stuck here for the rest of our lives." Natrix said in a worried tone.
Hearing this, some of the group, mostly Starscream, panicked at the thought before Sunstreak got on his ped and yelled out. "Then what are you waiting for?! Hop to it!"
Natrix glares at him and makes a low hiss. "Know your place, boy. I happened to be very poisonous to all, especially to Cybertronians." He threatened, causing Sunstreak to shut up. "But I will do it, but not now, we need to rest."
"Natrix is correct, we have a lot of work to do." Xander said.
Everyone, but Raf, agrees to get some rest. Xander notices Raf being silent and questions him. "Are you alright, Rafael?" Xander asked him. "You're awfully quiet."
Raf sighs and shakes his head. "I'm just worried, my parents must be worried about me 'cause I was gone for three days straight and we kind of skipped school."
Trickster waves it off. "Don't worry, before we left, I made doppelgangers of us that will do our daily routines, and they don't suspect a thing." He said with a grin. "Plus, my doppelganger will make fun of Little Mimi 24/7."
"Must you insult Ms. Nakadai? She did nothing to you." Natrix informs him blankly.
Trickster scoffs. "Pffft...she's entertaining unlike most human girls, plus she's cute when she's mad." He snickered as he remembers how angry she was when Trickster called her short or tiny.
"So...they don't know that we're gone?" Raf asked.
"Well, yeah, although I didn't make a Ratchet doppelganger, 'cause...reason." Trickster said, earning a glare from Ratchet.
"Oh..." Raf said softly, still worried about his family and Miko.
Seeing this, Silvereyes comforted the young boy, since he was a father, he has more experience in coaxing the Raf. Using his massive hand, he gently pats the boy from behind, surprising him in the process, as Raf looks at Silvereyes with widened eyes.
"It is all right, youngling. We will find a way back." Silvereyes assured him.
Feeling a little bit better, Raf forms a small smile. "Thanks, Silvereyes." He whispers to the wolf Mosntrum with appreciation.
Everyone watched the whole scene, Trickster smirks at this, finding it amusing. "Huh, guess being a dad finally paid off." He said to Silvereyes.
"If you must know, being a father requires sacrifice to protect the ones that he loves, and I did so by protecting my mate and son from Thanatos." Silvereyes said, retracting his hand away from Raf.
"Why does he want your son?" Megatron asked, not looking him in the eye.
"Like any other tyrant, he would try and brainwash him." Was Silvereyes's answer while clenching his fists. "Without me to guide my son, his power will be unstable, and easily manipulated. A perfect way to make a living weapon."
Suddenly, Arcee realizes something, she didn't think of it sooner, but Silvereyes reminds her of Jack when he turned into a giant wolf. "Are you...are you Jack's sire?" She suddenly asked, causing Silvereyes to look at her in surprise.
"What did you just say?" He asked, barely a whisper.
"Is your son's name Jack, Jack Darby?" Arcee asked carefully.
"How...how did you know his name?" Silvereyes asked with hesitation.
Natrix made a worried look and placed a scaly hand on Silvereyes's shoulder. "My friend. There is something you should know." He said to Silvereyes.
Silvereyes dreaded what Natrix was going to say, and he did. The snake Monstrum told him that Jack's Monstrum side took control after he witnessed his mother being shot by Master Salvation. Arcee added that Jack turned into a giant wolf and disappeared after destroying the cavern while June was taken by the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They didn't know their location as they were separated, but they heard that both Jack and June were taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. They don't know if it was true or not since they were separated during the whole ordeal. This information shocked Silvereyes, both his son and mate were endangered, and he wasn't there to save them. And without his guidance, Jack would go on a rampage as he speaks.
"This is bad." Silvereyes whispers in shock, running his hand through his hair, his eyes widened in horror. "My son can't control his Monstrum side without my guidance. He will kill anyone around him."
"Hey, there was no news about sudden deaths yet." Nightscar assures him.
"Yeah, if there were, Thanatos would go off and catch him already." Trickster said, not helping at all.
Demon slapped his shoulder gently. "Hey, don't say that."
"What? I was stating the obvious." Trickster said, raising his hands up. "And besides, we still have to get out of here and find this Jack person."
"For once, I agree." Silvereyes said with seriousness in his tone.
Natrix looks at Silvereyes, knowing very well that he wishes to return home and search for his family, even if it means hurting himself. Releasing a sigh, Natrix got up from his spot and went to the ship. "I'd better start searching for a dimensional portal then." Natrix said as he slithers away. "You should all get some rest; this will take some time."
Breakdown scoffs a bit. "Easy for you to say, I'll probably get nightmares about the femme that put the spell on me."
Bulkhead looks at him. "Scared that she might find you?"
"Duh! You should've seen what she did to us when we used the cortical psychic patch!" Breakdown exclaimed. "I don't want to know what she will do to me if she finds out that we found a way to spill the information out of me."
Trickster scoffs and waved that off. "Come on, Breaky, she's in another dimension. She can't find out about it. And besides, what's the worst thing she could possibly do?"
However, Trickster has no idea that the one that placed the spell on Breakdown, aka Dark, could sense it. Even if he was in another dimension, Dark could sense him inside the magic ring that she was in. And boy it pisses her off. Dark was just napping in the ring when she sensed Breakdown was able to tell off the information. She snapped opened her eyes with great anger and stood up from her sleeping position. She glares through the ring as she releases a deep growl of annoyance, knowing that Breakdown found a loophole through her spell.
"Ugh, fucking hell no!" Dark screams on top of her lungs through the ring in pure anger.
The next chapter is where they will all meet. Stay safe.
