I am so sorry for the delay. I was busy with school projects and my finals are coming up soon. I'm almost done with this story so I can work on the Camp Cretaceous story. I promise.
Enjoy.
Mercury brought everyone inside, the giant ship that brought them in with the others. Mercury carries the Monstrum Vehicle that has the little girls inside. He uses his tractor beam to carry it as he flies to Isola Della Vita. The D-Squad and their friends were leading their new...'guests' through the hall and towards the Control Center.
"So..." Smokescreen began, eyeing on the group that rescued them with unsureness. "Thanks for...um...saving us..."
"Don't mention it." Tempest said blankly, walking through the hall with Mystica flying beside her.
"Where are you taking us?" Optimus asked Saphira, knowing that she is the leader of the group.
"We are taking you to the Control Center." Saphira answered them. "We have something to show you."
"Is it a welcoming party?" Sunstreak asked with a grin, giving Mystica, Tempest, and Yunna a flirting look. "If so, then I'll gladly introduce myself to you gals." He made clicking sounds.
Tempest glares at him dangerously. "Then I'll be glad to throw you off this ship and let you be devoured by this dimension's underwater creatures." She threatens him with Hybrid and Livewire growling dangerously, shutting up Sunstreak in the process.
Saphira shook her helm. "Not likely, it's more of a...reunion." She corrected, confusing the rescued group, "Ah, here we are. Mercury, would you please?"
"Right away, your highness." Mercury spoke, surprising everyone, minus the serious ones. They didn't know that Saphira was royalty.
Before they could process what's happening, Mercury opens his doors, revealing the control room. There, they saw familiar faces that shocked the group, especially Arcee, Dreadwing, and Soundwave (even though he doesn't show it due to his visor). Inside the control room are their commands that were lost and fallen, but somehow come back. Cliffjumper, Skyquake, Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Arcee's sisters were in there with Leonidas, Andrew, Cornelia, Mike, Alex, Sofia, and Jay. They stared at each other with wide optics. Starscream looks like he was going to faint after seeing Cliffjumper and Skyquake are both alive.
"No way..." Bulkhead whispers in shock.
"Thundercracker?! Skywarp?" Starscream exclaimed in shock.
"Hey, Screamer!" Skywarp greeted casually, not bothered by their shock expressions.
Soon, Arcee was the first one to step forward, looking at Cliffjumper with wide and shock optics. The last time he saw him was when he was turned into an undead Terracon. Cliffjumper watches her coming to him, feeling worried, happy, relieved, and sad for what his partner has been through when he was offline. Arcee slowly walked over to Cliff and laid a servo on his shoulder as if making sure he was really, and not a figment of her imagination. After a while, she finally spoke, her voice filled with emotions of relief, joy, and sadness.
"Cliff...it's really you..."
Cliff soon made a small, yet playful smirk come on his face. Seeing this, the children, minus Raf, knew a wisecrack was coming. And it did. "Come on 'Cee. You know I'm too stubborn to let death hold me down?"
"Or maybe death kicked you out due to your wisecrack and puns." Tempest said blankly, causing Yunna to hold her laugh along with some Autobots.
Cliff frowns at her. "Aww, come on? Why did you have to ruin the moment, Temp?"
Tempest glares at him. "First off, I'm just stating the obvious, and second: Don't call me Temp." She said seriously and dangerously, shutting Cliff up.
Optimus, Ratchet and Ironhide went over to Elita-One, Moonracer, and Chromia.
"Elita?" Optimus whispers his sparkmate's name.
Elita-One smiles at Optimus before giving him a warm embrace. "I miss you too, Orion." She said his name softly, earning a small smile from the Autobot leader as he hugs her back.
Moonracer smiles at Ratchet and gives him a big hug. "It's good to see you alright, Ratchy!" She said to the medic happily.
"Racthy?" Aggie asked in confusion, earning an embarrassing frown from Ratchet and giggle from Moonracer.
"A nickname for my favorite medic!" Moonracer said happily, hugging Ratchet.
Damien snickers at this. "Ratchy..." He mutters out between snickers.
Gem glares at him. "Show some respect." She said quietly and harshly.
The two gave each other annoyed glare before returning back to the scene where they saw Ironhide and Chromia looking at each other with blank expressions on their faces. Chromia's arms are crossed while Ironhide stares at her. There was a brief silence from the two cybertronians. No one spoke until Chromia raised a servo and slapped Ironhide across his face. Val and Celestia were both startled by this while Dark snickered at the tough femme's attitude.
"What the frag was that for?!" Ironhide demanded.
"That's for making me worried you big lumbering oaf!" Chromia exclaimed in anger. Before Ironhide could yell at her, she gave him a hug, catching him off guard. "But it is good to see you again." Earning a small smirk from the weaponist.
"Is...this normal?" Aggie asked quietly to Elita-One, who smiled at her.
"To them, yes." The femme Autobot answered kindly before noticing Dreadwig going over to his brother.
"Skyquake, you're alive!" Dreadwing said in relief and joy.
Skyquake smiled and nodded. "Indeed, I was rescued and then healed by them. I am forever in their debt." He answered to his brother.
Dreadwing's optics widened by this. "They did?"
"Yes, my brother, they did." Skyquake assures him before looking towards Megatron, surprised to see Megatron here. "Lord Megatron?"
Megatron gave a brief nod. "Skyquake." Was all he said before noticing Soundwave going over to Ravage, Rumble, and Frenzy.
The three mini cons stared at the master with wide optics while Soundwave's face remained neutral...sort of. No one could see what's under his visor like a mask. Suddenly, Soundwave placed a servo on Ravage's shoulder, surprising the panther mini con in the process.
"Mast-" Ravage was cut off before he was pulled into a hug from Soundwave, surprising the robotic panther in the process. This surprised everyone, especially Megatron. He knows Soundwave keeps emotions in check. But seeing his mini-cons are alive and well, he couldn't be happier. As Soundwave withdraws from the hug, Laserbeak withdraws herself from his chest and flies around her 'brothers' feeling happy that they are back from their coma like stasis.
"LB, you're alive!" Both Rumble and Frenzy cheered, earning happy chirps from Lazerbeak.
"LB?" Val asked curiously, wondering what it stands for.
"LB is short for Laserbeak." Ravage answered to Val. "But how did you end up here? I thought we were the only ones that can go through dimensions?"
"They had help." Meygana's voice came in.
They look up to the control room where Foxtrot, Diamond Silk, and Sage came out from another entrance with Poisonhorn and Twoface. Meygana was sitting on Diamond Silk shoulder. Everyone, minus the Monstrums, was shocked to see three femmes, they were the brightest minds on Cybertron before they disappeared after saving all sparklings from their dying planet. Predaking and his pack were shocked to see two more Predacons with them. And began wondering how many are out there. However, they snapped out of it as when both Shockwave and Foxtrot were looking at each other with expressionless looks.
"...Shockwave." Foxtrot spoke in a cold tone.
"Foxtrot." Shockwave replied with the same kind of tone. "You're looking well."
"I can't say about you." Foxtrot said, crossing her arms, before she noticed her Fox sparkeater was next to Shockwave. "And why are you with him?" She questions her sparkeater. Daisy went over to her master's side, nuzzling her leg gently. Foxtrot sighs, knowing very well that Daisy cared a lot for Shockwave. There was a heavy tension within the room, clearly stating that these two have some sort of history. And it's not the good kind.
"Anyways...can we know your friends' names?" Smokescreen asked, curious about the Predacons and their companions.
"Well-" Sage was cut off by Foxtrot.
"Absolutely not." Foxtrot said sternly.
Elita-One gave Foxtrot a look. "Foxtrot, they've been through a lot. At least let them know the kids." She said to the scientist.
Foxtrot was annoyed, not wanting them to know the children. She still doesn't trust them, especially Shockwave. But she grudgingly agrees and allows the guardians to introduce their assigned humans and aliens that they are protecting. Elita-One introduced Val, Celestia, and Damien. Moonracer happily introduces Gem, Cornelia as well as mentions Sofia and Destiny's names. Skyquake introduced Kendall and Leonidas as he mentioned about another human name Jay. Chromia introduced her human Quinn as well as her other humans that are not, Alex, Stefano, and Giovanna. And Cliffjumper introduced his humans Aggie and Andrew. He added Mike in as he was not here. Meygana introduced herself along with Dark Twilight and Spider-Man. Then they introduce the Predacons. Saphira, leader of the surviving Predacons, Nightcore, Nightdeath, Poisonhorn, Aquarius, and Twoface. The femmes with them are Mystical, Tempest, and Yunna. As Yunna greeted them with a respectful bow, both Tempest and Mystica stared at them blankly, clearly showing that they don't trust them.
"Huh, never picture you as a guardian, Cliff." Bulkhead said, impressed by Cliff's responsibility.
Cliff made a proud smile. "Well, what can I say? I am one awesome guardian."
"Rrriiiiggghhhttt..." Both Poisonhorn and Twoface said unison in a sarcastic tone.
"What? I am!" Cliff said in a defense.
"Mm-hmm, don't you remember what happened last time when you were supposed to guard the children?" Poisonhorn reminded Cliffjumper.
Flashback
In a thick jungle, Cliff's vehicle was seen zooming through the jungle's path, followed by a war cry that was coming from natives that were chasing them with arrows and spears. Inside Cliff's vehicle mode, the kids were screaming on top of their lungs. Damien was hugging Gem in fear at the back with Aggie, who was being hugged by Val and Celestia in her dragon form, all screaming as they were being chased by territorial tribesmen. Quinn was riding on the front seat, holding on the hand bar as she strapped herself with her dear life. Fearing what's going to happen. And sitting on the driver seat was Kendall. The alien warrior wasn't fazed by this as she had her arms crossed while staring at the rear-view mirror, seeing the tribesman chasing after them.
"For the record, this was your idea." Kendall reminds Cliff blankly, who was speeding through the jungle.
"Don't you lecture me while I'm driving!" Cliff screamed as he made a tight turn, avoiding the arrows that were fired, causing the sharp projectiles to hit a tree instead.
Flashback Ended
The Autobots stared at Cliffjumper with disbelief. Arcee and Ratchet gave him their own scolding look, clearly stating that he did a terrible job as a guardian. Dark and Meygana were snickering a bit while Cliffjumper frowned at both Poisonhorn and Twoface.
"Oh, come on, that was one time, and you know it!" Cliff exclaims to them.
"Yeah, and you were supposed to show the children a beautiful waterfall at a safe distance, not a dangerous one!" Twoface scolded.
"How was I supposed to know that path leads to a village filled with cannibalistic, bloodthirsty humans?!"
"Dark gave you a map that shows the right way, why didn't you use it!?" Twoface reminds him.
"Oh, he did, but decided not to use it." Damien tattletale.
"Shh ta ta ta shh!" Cliff hushed Damien quickly, seeing Arcee's frown was getting annoyed.
Seeing that Cliff was getting in trouble, Aggie decided to step in, "Anyways, maybe we should introduce ourselves since we know you guys already."
"Hey, that's sounds-" Moonracer was cut off by Foxtrot.
"Absolutely not." The scientist said sternly.
Elita-One gave Foxtrot a look. "Foxtrot, they've been through a lot. At least let them know the kids." She said to the scientist.
"I am not letting them know the children or else they'll hurt them." Foxtrot stated, glaring at Shockwave.
"Hey! That's not true!" Sideswipe said, earning a glare from Foxtrot. "Ne-never mind."
"If you are really that worried for them, I may be of assistance." Meygana said with a devious smirk.
"And how are you going to do that?" Foxtrot asked her.
Meygana smiles and faces the group. "All I need to do is...this." She lifted her hand as it emits a yellow aura. Soon enough, magical black chains appeared, wrapped around the rescued group, minus Raf and his Thunderbird, which surprised and shocked them in the process. "These chains will kill you if you try anything to betray us, backstab us, or harm anyone. They will suffocate you until your head snaps off your necks."
"Y-You're bluffing!" Starscream exclaimed hesitantly.
Meygana began to glow as a sick grin spread through her face. "Am I?"
Suddenly, the chains around Starscream's neck tighten, choking the Seeker, before lifting him up in the air. He was choking as the pipe within him tightened by the chains. Everyone, except for the serious ones, were shocked by Meygana's ability.
"I'll say it again, mess with us, you will die. Capiche?" Meygana reminds them. Starscream only lets out a choke, as if he was trying to say that he agrees, and with that. Meygana's magical chains dropped him, disappearing along with the others. "There we go. Now we can safely introduce ourselves."
Everyone, minus the serious ones, stared at Meygana fearfully, knowing what she is capable of and didn't want to mess with her. Foxtrot, on the other hand, was annoyed, not wanting them to know the children. She still doesn't trust them, especially Shockwave since he might use them as science experiments. But she grudgingly agrees and allows the guardians to introduce their assigned humans and aliens that they are protecting.
"Okay, seems that everything is in order." Diamond Silk began before introducing their friends. "These're our friends Val, Celestia, Damien, Quinn, Aggie, Gem, Kendall, Damien, Leonidas, Andrew, Cornelia, Mike, Alex, Sofia, and Jay. And our new friends, Saphira, the leader of the surviving Predacons, Nightcore, Nightdeath, Poisonhorn, Aquarius, Twoface, Mystical, Tempest, and Yunna. And you already know Dark Twilight, Spider-Man, and Meygana."
"Hey!" The kids, minus Kendall, greeted warmly while the teens greeted them causally. Leonidas, Kendall, Yunna bowed at them while Dark simply flips her middle finger at them, showing no respect at all, while Spider-Man facepalmed at Dark's rude behavior. Tempest and Mystica stared at them blankly, clearly showing that they don't trust them
Bee greeted them kindly with kind beeps and whirls, causing Val to tilt her head curiously. "What's wrong with his voice?" She asked the Autobots curiously. "He doesn't speak like you."
The Autobots looked at Bumblebee with concern and then to the little girl. "Well...it's a long story." Smokescreen said awkwardly.
"Like Mr. Claw-hand over there?" Dark gestures to Ultra Magnus's clam appendage in a rude tone.
"Dark-san, please don't be rude." Yunna said in a somewhat begging tone, not wanting to start a fight.
Shockwave's antennae lifted up, recognizing Yunna's voice, it was the same voice that saved him from death back on Cybertron. There is no mistake. He steps forwards to Yunna. "It's you." He said as he was about to go over to her, but soon stopped dead in his tracks when both Hybrid and Livewire came in front of Yunna, releasing dangerous and savage growls, glaring at Shockwave to back off.
"Woah! What's their problem?!" Mudflap exclaimed as he and his brother hid behind Bulkhead.
"Apologies, both Hybrid and Livewire are protective towards Yunna." Saphira said to them. "She saved them from their pain, and they are forever in their debts."
"So, that's why..." Demon said, eyeing towards the two experimented Dracons. "Out of curiosity, how did you all manage to fight the creatures?" He questions the humans that he was fighting.
"That's because they're superpowered, aliens, and experienced humans!" Lusha said, appearing in midair with Kirit the Scraplet resting on her head. Her appearance startled those who are easy to scare.
"AAAHHH! Scraplet!" Bulkhead, the Terror Twins, Mudflap, Skids, Starscream, and Knockout screamed at the sight of the Scraplet and quickly hid behind Demon, who wasn't fazed by this.
"Scraplet!" They screamed, pointing at Kirit, who blinked at them innocently.
"Calm down, you scrap brains." Tempest said in a rude tone. "The scraplets here are domesticated and reprogrammed to be pets."
This confused the group, but the others didn't believe her, thinking that she's jinxing them. To prove her point, Kirit flies off Lusha's head, tensing the group, before landing on Yunna's shoulder, nuzzling her metallic cheek happily, emitting adorable purrs. Yunna giggled as she gently pats his head. Everyone stared at her in disbelief, especially Bulkhead. They always believe that Scraplets are mindless metal eating parasites, but they can actually be tamed?!
"I don't believe it!" Ratchet said in shock.
"I know!" Sunstreak exclaimed, glaring at the Scraplet. "It's mocking us!"
Xander gave him a look of an annoyance. "Oh, brother." He mutters out before he notices Cornelia looking at Sunstreak, observing him. "Is there something you want to say?"
"This one, known as Sunsrteak...his thoughts are...strange." Cornelia said to them. "They are filled with emotions of desire and wonder."
"Whaaa?" Sunstreak asked in confusion, feeling a bit uncomfortable by this.
Silvereyes observes her carefully, studying her body movements, as he realizes what she is. "She's a psychic."
"A what?" Jolt asked in confusion, wondering what he meant.
"Psychics are known to be S class beings that have telepathic powers that could move objects with their mind and could hear what you are thinking." Silvereyes explains.
"He's not wrong, Cory here is a natural with her powers." Moonracer said proudly. "And she's currently reading Sunstreak's mind as we speak."
"Wait, WHAT?!" Sunstreak exclaims in fear as he looks over to Cornelia, still looking at him. "Okay, you better stop right n-"
But Cornelia continues. "Your mind is now filled with unbearable desire for someone that you wish to have. You think of her the moment you saw her saving you from the giant centipede."
"Okay, nobody wants to hear that!" Sunstreak said to her, trying to stop Cornelia from embarrassing him.
"Actually, I am curious about what she has to say." Nightscar said.
"Indeed." Demon also agrees.
"Aw, come on! You guys are not-" Sunstreak was cut off when Cornelia reveals who Sunstreak was talking about.
"He desires for...her." Cornelia points towards Mystica, standing next to Tempest. Mystica gave a look that is a mix of surprise, disgust, and annoyance.
"No! That is not…" Sunstreak tries to explain himself, but the Wreckers, Predaking's packmates, Damien, Skywarp, Rumble, and Frenzy Drax suddenly start laughing uproariously. "Okay. That's…" They continued laughing and while Hound points at Sunstreak, who groans in annoyance.
"She just told everyone your deepest, darkest secret! HAHAHAHAHA!" Hound laughs loudly.
"Come on, guys! Knock it off!" Sunstreak whines at them as they continue laughing at him.
"You must be so embarrassed! AHAHAHAHAHAH!" Ironhide howled in laughter.
As they continued cackling, Mystica gave an unamused look towards Sunstreak, clearly not interested in him at all. Dark and Meygana were snickering at Sunstreak's misfortune while others and the rest of Cybertronians were holding their laughter.
"Do me! Do me, do me!" Hound said excitingly, laughing as he pats his chest, wanting to know more about Cornelia's powers.
"...No." Cornelia declines Hound's request.
"I really...you know...didn't mean to-" Sunstreak tried to explain himself to Mystica but she cut him off.
"Save it, I am not interested in you ever." Mystica said in a serious tone, clearly not wanting to go out with him, much to his disappointment.
Lusha laughs hysterically. "That was hilarious! Right, Dest!?" She asked Destiny, who appeared beside her, hovering as well. This shocked everyone, surprised to see another human with them. "Oh, I forgot to mention! This Destiny! She's a special friend, she has great power that can totally mess you guys up! Say hi, Dest!" Instead of greeting them, Destiny releases a savage growl, indicating that she is not too happy to see them. "She likes ya!" Lusha said happily not fazed by Destiny's hostility.
"Be warned, Destiny may seem like a human, but she can be dangerous when provoked." Posionhorn whispers to the group, informing the danger around Destiny.
"Noted." Predaking answers back respectfully to his kin.
"Who knew you were being a guardian of these humans?" Arcee commented to Cliff but received no wisecrack remarks. She turned to her side and was surprised to see her partner was gone. "Cliff?" Arcee looked around for her partner and spotted him, hiding behind Yunna, like she was some kind of living shield. Much to the annoyance of Hybrid and Livewire.
"Why is Cliff hiding?" Bulkhead asked in confusion.
"Cliffjumper has a great fear towards Destiny." Nightcore answered.
"Ha! He's afraid of this little human?" Sunstreak mocked as he came over to Destiny, who glared at him dangerously. "She doesn't look that ba-"
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKK!
Destiny lets out a powerful roar, her eyes turning red, scaring Sunstreak and the rest of the group, except for the serious ones. Her roar echoed through the ship and outside, scaring off local animals. They, except for the serious ones, stared at her with wide optics and eyes, shocked at how powerful her roar was. Once she's done, she growls at Sunstreak savagely, daring him to try and do anything stupid. Knowing that this human was dangerous, Sunsrteak quickly moves away and hides behind Chromia.
"I can see why he's scared of her." Sunstreak said fearfully.
"I told you so!" Cliff exclaimed before hiding behind Yunna again. "She's terrifying!"
"Yeah! Like that Tempy! I mean, she knows dark magic AND can use dark energons!"
After what she said, Megatron snaps at her. "WHAT?!" He yelled at her.
"Yup! Tempy control Dark Energon!" Lusha repeated, not caring about the consequences.
"How can you be certain that she can control dark energons?" Ratchet questions, clearly not believing Lusha.
"Tee-hee, sure she can, I mean, she did bring back Nemesis with Dark Energon and he's fully functional!"
"Wait, the ship is functioning?!" Knockout asked in shock.
"Yup! Who else bridges me here?" Lusha said happily. "After all, he and Merc are technically besties, am I right or am I right? Right?" Lusha said in a crazed tone.
"Actually, we are more acquaintances." Mercury corrected.
"...Nah, you two are besties!" Lusha said with a wide grin.
"...She's weird." Leadfoot mutters out.
"You have no idea." Twoface said in agreement.
"Do you really control dark energon?" Optimus questions her.
"Believe me or not, I don't care." Tempest said rudely. "I have more important things to do than being in this conversation. I just fixed Nemesis and now follow my every command. End of story."
The Decepticons were shocked, especially Megatron and Starscream, realizing that if the warship is now serving that Tempest, she has full access and control over their systems. "Does that mean she's in charge?" Knockout dared to ask.
"Pretty much." Skywarp answered.
Tempest scoffs at this. "Whatever, let's just get going."
"By the way, Meygana, you mentioned Raf being a jumper." Quinn asked, looking at Meygana. "What is it?"
Natrix looked at Meygana and asked curiously. "Is that how Rafael was able to teleport us here?"
Meygana nodded. "Indeed." She began explaining to them about the Jumpers. They are species of humans with the ability to jump through dimensions and places. Jumpers were once a magical race like wizards, mages, warlocks, witches, sorcerers, sorceresses, and fortune tellers. Raf happens to be the only one in his family to inherit the jumper's blood. They question why and Meygana explains to them that Raf is the only one that inherited the gift because the magic within him was dormant and activated in late age making him a late bloomer. The rest of his family members did not have the ability because they are all skipped generation. It was confusing for the ones that didn't understand, until Jack joined in. He was tutored by Tempest and Angel about the history of magic, making sure to understand its ways and cultures. Jack explains that since Raf's relatives and siblings didn't receive the ability like Raf did. They're considered Skippies, much to the amusement of Darksteel and Skylynx as they laughed at the ridiculous name. Jack pointed out it is the short version of the full name of the skip generation. The full name was Liberi quorum magicae in generatione altera exsultaverunt which means Children whose magic has been skipped to the next generation. Jack's friends and his dad were surprised how well Jack could speak Latin since he only knows English. Tempest was the next to explain the reason why Raf's relatives didn't inherit the magic because it will be passed down to their next of kin. However, Raf was lucky and got his, making him the only one of his family to inherit the Jumper's blood, making him the last of his kin.
"Wait, last?" Raf asked in shock. "What do you mean last?"
"Well, truth be told, Rafael. Jumpers were almost hunted to extinction by the rogues." Meygana said, getting confused looks from the rescued group. "Rogues are magical beings that break the law of magic, causing trouble in the human world, and selling illegal items to the Dark Markets, in which case, Jumpers."
"Jumpers are considered the rarest of all species." Tempest suddenly added, getting all eyes and optics to her. "Their ability to jump to different worlds is a very rare ability. And because of this, they were hunted for it. The Jumpers had no choice but to leave their homelands and live on other dimensions, hiding their powers and their bloodline."
"And because they hid their powers for all these years, their bloodline became thin, the ability of the Jumpers was almost long and forgotten, but one. He made sure that his bloodline lives one as he made sure that one remains left before his passing." Meygana explained, shocking everyone.
"Wait, passing?" Trickster asked in surprise. "Are you saying that the last Jumper that might teach Raf here about his origin just died?"
Meygana nodded her head. "Yes, and that Jumper was his great grandfather."
Raf's eyes widened in realization of what she meant. "Papa Crusoe?" He whispers in shock.
"Your great-grandfather was the last of the Jumpers. He made sure that you are kept safe for he knows that you are the last of the jumpers now. He wanted to teach you everything about your heritage, your Jumper Heritage that is." Meygana explained to him.
Raf became devastated, no wonder Papa Crusoe was always there for him, he knew that he was going to be the last of their kind when he passed away. His relatives probably don't know their true origin. "Wait, why didn't Papa Crusoe tell my relatives? They should know about their origin too." Raf said to Meygana and the others.
"It's not allowed." Tempest answered. "Skippies are considered to be humans and thus they will never understand magic like Raf did. After all, he was the only one that Crusoe would tell the stories of the Thunderbird."
Raf's eyes widened by this. "Wait, how did you know about this?"
"Silly, boy, we know about the Jumpers. And their symbol is the Thunderbird, for it gives them the power they need to jump through other dimensions." Meygana said with a simple smile. "That is why your Thunderbird friend here likes you so much."
Crusoe the Thunderbird nudges Raf's back gently, making gentle shrieks. Saying that is true Raf smiles and pats Crusoe gently. Thanking him for being there for him. Cornelia came over to them as she sensed Crusoe's emotions to Raf.
"He cares about you." Cornelia said to Raf. "He wants you to be happy."
"You...you can understand him?" Raf asked in surprise, watching as Crusoe nuzzled Cornelia happily.
"Cornelia can feel people or animals through their minds." Andrew answers for Raf. "That is why she understands you Thunderbird."
"His name is Crusoe and yeah...that's amazing and...I think Crusoe likes her." Raf said with a smile, seeing his Thunderbird nuzzling Cornelia.
"Well, she is carrying a thunderbird entity in her." Aggie said, getting the others' attention.
"What?" Hound asked in confusion.
"We'll tell you later." Mike said to him.
Suddenly, Val turned toward the blank screen of the monitor and felt something close, already knowing their destination. "We're here." She said out loud.
This caught everyone's attention as they looked at the screen as it turned on, revealing a huge island that was in the water and not floating above the ocean like the rest of the islands. The rescued group were astounded at the sight before them.
"Mechs and femme." Dark began, looking at the screen blankly. "Welcome to paradise."
When Mercury landed on the Isola Della Vita, everyone got out and was greeted at the sight of many, I mean, many Predacons, and the Nemesis was a few feet from Mercury. Starscream was muttering words in fear, seeing many Predacons glaring down at them, mostly at him. Since he was the one responsible for giving M.E.C.H. information of Cybertronian anatomy and forced it upon Yunna. Turning a sweet, innocent, yet strong wielded human to become a Cybertronian against her will was barbaric enough to make the Predacons rip Starscream to pieces. Even though the Predacons were glaring, the rescued group were still shocked at what they were seeing. Predaking was thrilled to see his kin thrived and alive again.
"How long have you been here?" Prowl suddenly asked, following Saphira and the others through the crowd of Predacons.
"We've been here for a year now, thanks to our little friends." Saphira gestures to the children. "They brought us here and made it our home."
"Wait, how did you do that?" Trickster asked the children, who were walking close by.
"It's a long and complicated story." Quinn said to them before noticing the Dinobots in the crowd. "Hey look, it's Grimlock and the others."
Surprised, the group looked up and saw the Dinobots within the crowd. They too were surprised to see the Autobots, Decepticons, Dracons, and Predacons with them. Although they did recognize Shockwave, the scientist that turned them into Dinobots.
"It's Shockwave!" Swoop yelled before transforming into his Pteranodon mode. "Let's hurt 'im!" He lets out a battle cry and is about to attack Shockwave, but Arma grabs him from behind, stopping him from doing something reckless, again.
"You do realize he has a cannon, right?" She pointed out to him in annoyance before glaring at Bulkhead and Wheeljack. "Well, well, well...if it isn't my former 'brothers in arms'." Arma said to them in a very sarcastic tone.
"Arma?" Bulkhead and Wheeljack spoke unison, shocked to see Arma was alive. "You're...alive." Bulkhead said.
"Yeah, no thanks to you scrap brains! I told you not to throw your grenade when we were in the building! But did you listen? OF COURSE NOT!" Arma yelled in anger, tossing Swoop backward, who screamed as he crashed into the trees. "You had to throw it anyway, and it collapsed the building on us!"
"Is that the reason why was captured?" Cornelia asked her, hovering beside Moonracer.
"Duh! No thanks to these scrap heap, mindless, over egoistic, self centered, emptyheaded-" Before Arma continued her rant, Leonidas appeared behind Val before covering her ears. Cornelia follows as she flies behind Celestia's human form and covers her ears as well. Preventing the little girls from hearing as Arma swears up a storm. Val and Celestia couldn't hear anything, but they could tell that Arma was yelling at Bulkhead and Wheeljack. The others, minus the serious ones, stared at the swearing Arma with wide and shocked eyes. Aggie covers her mouth at Arma's swears while Dark and Meygana are grinning or smirking at Arma. Darksteel and Skylynx snickered at how Arma was trashing the two Wreckers. Saphira shook her head slightly, indicating that Arma has a lot of angry words she needs to vent out towards the two Wreckers. After Arma cools down, Leonidas and Cornelia remove their hands off Val and Celestia's ears, allowing them to hear again.
"Well...since that is taking care of...why don't we leave this dimension and take you all back to your original home." Saphira suggested.
"Yes, please, I have to catch up on teasing Miko. I bet she misses me." Trickster said with a grin.
Xander sighs in annoyance. "Oh, please." He mutters out, knowing too well that Miko doesn't know that they were gone due to the illusion that Trickster cast.
"By the way, out of curiosity." Optimus began, looking over to Meygana. "Why did Rafael bring us into this world instead of another world?"
Meygana glanced at him. "Well, it's simple really, this world is special. For it is the birthplace of Rafael's people." She answered, shocking the rescued group. "That's right, Rafael's instincts took him to the first place that was supposed to be a safe haven. But the rogues were able to access a dimensional portal and attacked their home, driving them off and were forced into hiding. Leaving their birth home."
"No wonder I felt a connection here." Raf said, holding his chest where his heart is. "It was my ancestral home."
"It was. Your instincts brought you to your home, but I am sorry that you have to see its ruins." Meygana apologizes. "You should've seen it in its glory days where all your people could teach you."
Raf lowered his head. "I wish I could know too."
Lusha appeared beside him. "Cheer up, Raf! I'm sure you can even though you've been gone for thirty-four years."
The rescued group looked at her with different expressions of shock and confusion. "Wait, what?!" They all asked in unison.
"Thirty-four years?!" Raf yelled in shock.
Xander realizes what she meant. "Of course, how could I have forgotten? Each world has different time movements. When we're staying for a week, we were actually gone for years."
"But-but we were gone for a week." Raf corrected them.
"True, but time moves differently within worlds." Foxtrot said, coming over to them. "We were informed that each world has different times. As you feel that you all stayed here for a week, you were all actually gone for thirty years in our world."
"We were gone for that long?" Raf asked in shock.
"Indeed, but not to worry. We know how to get back." Dark said, reloading her gun.
"How exactly?" Ratchet asked suspiciously.
"By going counterclockwise." Carl said, walking in with the others.
Smiling, Val and Celestia got off from Elita-One, who helped them, and rushed over to Owen. The ex-navy smiles and picks them up. "How are my favorite girls doing?"
"Great, Uncle Owen!" Both Val and Celestia said happily.
"Uncle?" Xander questions Owen in surprise. "You are the princess's caretaker?"
Owen looks at Xander in confusion. "Yes...and you are?"
"His name is Xander and apparently he was the former bodyguard of Kiddo's ancestor." Dark replied blankly. "He wants to protect her with his life until they can stop the crazy Monstrums that are after her."
Owen raises a brow and looks at Xander. "So...you want to protect my niece?"
Xander nodded his head. "With my life."
As Owen thinks about it, Dark steps in and says rudely, "You can discuss this shit later. Right now...Tech!"
The AI appeared from thin air, standing beside the adults. This surprised everyone, especially Shockwave. Tech bowed to them. "What do you need?"
"Take us back home, we have guests to take home." Dark points at the group.
"Understood, I will begin traveling counterclockwise." Tech informs them.
"Why counterclockwise?" Topspin asked them.
"Going counterclockwise through a variety of dimensions with their different timelines will allow us to go back to our original time." Xander explains to them. "It is the only way to do so."
The group looked at each other with unsureness. But they needed to get back home, so with no choice, they agreed, allowing Tech to use dimensional traveling. Tech said that she will prepare for the departure. Soon, Soren and Rain came to view along with Destiny following them from behind.
"Xander!" Both Rain and Soren said unison. Happy to see their comrade is alive.
"Rain, Soren. You're both here." Xander says in relief, transforms into his Galatria form, surprising everyone. "How did you free yourselves?"
"I was rescued by the Dinobots and the princess while Rain was rescued by Jack." Soren explains to them.
Silvereyes looked at his son curiously and surprised. "You freed and rescued her from the Monstrum where she was imprisoned?"
Jack shrugs. "Pretty much." He said casually before a raven came flying by and perched on Jack's shoulder. "Hey, Kuroi, how are you doing?" His response was a happy caw from the raven.
"Since when did you get a pet?" Silvereyes questions Jack, surprised to see Jack with a raven.
"It's a long story, dad." Jack answered with a smile.
"You should've seen how his mom reacted when he saw Kuroi." Dark said, checking her gun.
Hearing about June, Silvereyes, Raf, and the Autobots turned to her with wide eyes/optics. Realizing that June was taken by her and her team.
"June! Is she alright?" Silvereyes asked in concern, worried about his mate.
"How is she?" Arcee was the next to ask.
"Calm down, she's alive and fine. She was rescued by Z, you know, the lady that was with us along with those two toughing looking ones. Anyways, she's in a safe place that is far from Jasper with Jack and Rain." Dark explains to them.
"Where is she then? I have to know." Silvereyes said to her seriously.
Spider-Man leans over to Dark. "Are we allowed?" He whispers to her ear.
"Hey, he hasn't seen his wife and kid for like, what? Nine years. He has to know, otherwise. He'll go on a rampage." Dark quietly answers back before looking at Silvereyes and the others. "She's at Sunny City, working as a nurse at Astra Hospital and goes by the name of Juliet Blackstone and Jack goes by the name Jack Blackstone, who goes to Sunny High with his cousin, Tempest Blackstone."
"Wait, Tempest goes to school?" Raf asked in surprise.
"Yeah, so?" Tempest asked him blankly.
"Sorry, it's just that...well...do Cybertronians really go to school? A human school?" Raf dared to ask.
Tempest scoffs a bit. "Of course not, unless you are techno-organic." Tempest answered blankly, earning strange looks from the Cybertronians and Predacons.
"Techno-Organic? Aren't those myths." Smokescreen stated to her.
"Myths, legends, stories, they're all real. Heck, magic is literally right in front of you!" Dark gestures herself and the other magical beings.
"...She has a point." Roadbuster agreed with Dark, for once.
"What's not to believe?" Damien blurted out, "Yunna's a techno-organic too."
Optimus looked at Yunna curiously, being shielded by two dangerous Dracons. "She's a techno-organic?"
"Well, technically, she's not at first, she was a human until M.E.C.H. came and ruined her life by causing a fatal accident. She survived but was forced to become a Cybertronian against her will and was mind controlled by them. Plus, she had to fight Mysti over here-" Dark points at Mystica, "And nearly died by Mystica if it weren't for Z to save her soul! And it's all because Dorkscream over here to show M.E.C.H. Cybertronian secrets!"
Predaking's packmates, the Wreckers, Breakdown, Knockout, and members of the DJD, snickered to the nickname that Dark gave to Starscream. The Seeker wasn't too pleased by this and was about to insult her back when suddenly a giant rock came out of nowhere and hit Starscream straight to the face, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Oooo! That's gotta hurt!" Damien winced at the sight.
"Yeah, but who threw the rock?" Bulkhead asked.
They all looked towards the direction where the rock was thrown, and to their surprise. Destiny was standing close by at said giant rocks, one spot looks empty, clearly showing that she threw it. Everyone was surprised how strong that human was. Bee made some beeping sounds, like he was saying: How did she do that?
"Bee is asking how Destiny did that." Raf translated.
That's when Angel answered with Morphy on her shoulders. "Destiny is an experiment that has the DNAs of billions of creatures. And of course, she has inhuman strength."
"Hello, Angel, how was your observation on the dimension with the others?" Mystica asked.
"It was great, Dr. Wu and Dr. Creature. We just finished studying the village. Although one of the huts there seems to have been recently destroyed. We have to know what could've caused it." Angel explains it out, referring to the village where Raf's people used to live.
Darksteel and Skylynx turned away, trying to not lead any suspicion. Predaking shook his head at them, knowing that they are the reason what happened to the hut. Meanwhile, Xander looks at Angel curiously. Seeing this, Angel gave him a friendly smile.
"Is there something that you need?"
Xander shook his head. "No, but I am curious who you are."
Angel made a friendly smile. "I am Angel, Angel Heart."
"She's my cousin and Mystica's sister." Val answers happily, going over to Angel.
"Cousin? Sisters? How's that possible?" Raf asked in confusion.
"I'll explain it later. Right now, we should head back to our dimension." Angel said with a smile. "Tech, would you mind?"
Tech appeared right in front of them, scaring Raf and the easily scared ones. "Of course, Ms. Heart. Proceeding counterclockwise."
"Everyone, get ready, we are about to leave." Foxtrot announced through the commlinks.
As the Predacons and the Dinobots were about to get ready, Breakdown came over to Mystica, watching Angel and Morphy interacting with Val. "Hey, um...Mystica, right?"
Mystica turns to him. "Is there something you need, Mr. Breakdown?"
"Well...just one question and it's kinda well...were you...were you the one that brought me to the forest to find Darksteel and Skylynx?" He asked Mystica, waiting for her answer. And to his surprise, she nodded her head at him.
"Indeed, I am." She answers to him calmly, getting Predaking to look at her in shock when heard it. "I have my reason to bring you to them."
"Why?" Breakdown asked.
"Yeah, why Breakdown and not me!" Sunstreak whined, listening to their conversation, earning a facepalm from Bee.
Mystica gave a blank look to Sunstreak. "Because I don't know you and do not wish to." She said dully before turning back to Breakdown. "And the reason why is because it's a little bluebird."
Breakdown was confused at first before his optics landed on Val, she was smiling at him innocently, as realization hit him like a truck. "She told you about me!?"
Mystica nodded. "Yes, Valentina told me about you and how you promised to keep her a secret. Even when Dark puts a curse on you when she realizes that you will one day say it."
"Well...I almost did..." Breakdown said sheepishly. "Speaking of which, can it be...you know..."
"The curse is already broken, asshole." Dark said rudely, putting her gun away. "After you and that sneaky bastard found a loophole in my curse, you already broke it. But mark my words, I WILL get you both!"
Breakdown gulps in fear while Trickster was sneaking away, trying to avoid the whole thing. Twoface went over to Breakdown and quickly reminded him of this. "Yeah, you should probably recharge with one optic open from now on."
"Noted." Breakdown whispers back.
Then Skywarp appeared between Optimus and Megatron, a goofy grin plastered on his face as an idea popped in his mind. "So...since you guys are here. Why won't we show you around? You wouldn't believe what this island has! It has hidden caves, labyrinths, awesome places to explore, and life supply of energon!" His words shocked the Cybertronians, Dracons, and the three Predacons.
"That reminds me, we should replenish your energon before you all run out." Saphira informs them.
"And get a tour around the island?" Sunstreak asked excitedly, flirting towards Mystica.
"Don't push it." Mystica said in annoyance.
"Hey, Hydrous is here!" Val called out happily, pointing at the ocean.
The Autobots, Decepticons, Darcons, and the three Predacons were confused before they felt the ground beneath them shake, startling them in the process. They followed the others' gaze to the ocean and saw something massive emerging out of the water. They saw a massive black draconic head coming out, rising from the water, scaring the heck out of the easily scared ones. But what's more shocking is that four more heads appeared in variations of colors as the Kaiju size Predacon shows his full form.
"That's Hydrous!?" Smokescreen exclaimed in fear.
"Yup! Pretty cool, right?" Damien said casually.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Starscream screamed on top of his lungs at the sight of the massive Predacon. But soon was cut off when another rock was thrown at his face, causing him to fall unconscious. They all turned around and saw it was Twoface who threw the rock. He was happily tossing one up and down with one servo while the other was carrying Destiny.
"Sorry, couldn't resist." Twoface said with a grin.
"You did what was best, Twoface." Poisonhorn said with a chuckle.
"Okay, it's official, I like it here." Trickster said with a grin.
"For once, I agree with you." Predaking said, smirking at his kin.
Hydrous lowers himself, to get a good look at the children. Val was smiling at him happily as he lifted a giant fist towards her. At first, they thought he was going to attack her, but instead, he, Val, and her friends did a fist bump, showing their friendship to one another.
"Well, would you look at that?" Wheeljack said with impress. "The big guy is nothing more than a big softy."
"Yeah, so don't piss him off or harm the kiddos, and he WILL hurt you in more ways than one." Dark warns him, shutting him and the others up.
"Preparing for departure." Tech suddenly announced, getting everyone to their position.
"Buckle up." Tempest said blankly.
They didn't get what she meant until the island beneath them began to shake and then it began lifting itself from the water and to the sky. Everyone was shocked by this while their rescuers were casual about this. Soon, the island opens up a dimensional portal, allowing it to enter, where they could see how they travel through the dimensional rift. Raf was above all amazed by this. He never expected to see a dimensional rift so beautiful.
"Wow...it's beautiful." Raf commented in amazement.
"I know, wait till you see what world we're going to." Quinn said with a smile, causing Raf to blush a bit.
"You know, I'm kind of curious about what world we're going to." Smokescreen said with a hint of excitement. "I bet it's gonna be-WOAH!" The cadet was startled when Jester the capuchin monkey came by swinging through trees' vines before landing on Destiny's shoulder. "What is that?"
"That would be Jester, Destiny's capuchin monkey pet." Saphira answered calmly. "She found him on one of our trips and grew a bond with him."
"And she's very protective of him. Trust me on this because when I scared that little guy, Dest tried to rip my arm off, twice!" Skywarp informs them, shivering at the thought of how Destiny almost got her.
"Noted..." Natrix said before spotting Armstrong coming over. "Who is that?"
Spotting Armstrong, Sideswipe's face frowned in annoyance. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"
Armstrong salutes over to Foxtrot. "Ma'am, me and the Predacons scouted the island for any stowaways. So far, there weren't any." She informs her respectfully.
Foxtrot nodded. "Good. Rest now, we will continue this later."
When Armstrong nodded her head, she spotted Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, and quickly saluted them respectfully. "Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, SIR!"
Armstrong was taught to always respect her superiors. Plus, she idolizes both Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus. The Leader of the Wreckers nodded at her. "At ease, soldier." He ordered, which Armstrong did. "I see you're doing well here, cadet."
"Yes, Sir. I have assisted them during the observation of other dimensions." Armstrong said.
Sideswipe scoffs. "Yawn! Can you believe her? She's all boring and respectful. Am I right?" He joked towards Tempest and Yunna, who stared at him.
"That's very rude of you, Sideswipe-san." Yunna scolded, causing Sideswipe to look at her in shock. "She is a soldier and of course she has to show great respect to her superiors."
"I'm with Yunna in this." Tempest said in agreement as she glared at Sideswipe. "She's better than you or your obnoxious brother."
"I agree." Mystica said in agreement. "Which reminds me, we agree to patrol with Armstrong when we reach the new world."
"Yeah, you idiots better not follow us, because if you do, I'll place a curse on you that is much worse than Dark's." Tempest threatened,
Sideswipe was silent as he and Sunstreak went over to Armstrong, followed by Hybrid and Livewire along with Rumble and Frenzy, who happily joined them while making faces to the Terror Twins that said: Oooooo...you guys got burned! Much to their annoyance.
"Oh, come on! I didn't mean it that way!" Sideswipe called out, trying to convince them, but they didn't listen as they ignored him.
"Wow..." Damien said, watching the whole ordeal, "You guys are terrible with women."
"HEY!" Sunstreak and Sideswipe yelled at him.
"What? You know it's true." Damien said.
"Here, here!" Skywarp agrees with a grin, both doing fist bumps. Sunstreak and Sideswipe was annoyed, ignoring the snickers coming from the Predacons and the Wrecker crew. Then one of the clones of Giovanna who is named Gardenia came towards Damien, carrying a cage that was covered with a blanket. She hands it over to him as he thanks her, which she nodded. She walks away, ignoring the looks that were given by their guests.
"What's in the cage?" Raf asked curiously.
"Well..." Damien lifts the cage, revealing Rocco the ferret and Wheelie the mini-Cybertronian. The two were playing cards, not noticing the crowd looking at them.
"Got any threes?" Rocco asked.
"Nu-Uh." Wheelie answered, checking his cards.
Then they both spotted the new groups with their friends and simply stared at them. "Sup." The two small creatures greeted each other.
"Uh..." Smokescreen tries to find the right words to say but was cut off by Kendall.
"Don't ask."
Suddenly, Tech appeared, looking at everyone calmly. "We arrive at Dimension 10101, the Star Dimension."
As soon as she said that they appeared to a dimension that was filled with stars in a dark sky. The children were amazed by the beauty of the stars. Val brought out an instax camera that her Uncle Owen got for her and took a picture. Finding it very beautiful. The others were amazed by this, their eyes drawn towards the beauty of the night sky filled with stars.
"Dimension 10101 is known to have living stars that move through the endless night sky." Tech explains to them.
"Living stars?" Ratchet asked in confusion.
Before Tech could explain, the stars started to move on their own and headed towards them, much to their surprise. The stars started to observe the newcomers, finding them interesting. When Val tried to touch one, they scattered, creating beautiful sparkles on their way. Val giggles as she takes some pictures.
"The stars are curious beings that find you all interesting." Tech explains to them.
"Interesting how?" Megatron questions her.
"Woah!" They heard Damien yelping. They turned around and saw the stars were lifting him from the ground, spinning him gently as he laughed at this. Soon, other stars began playing with the children, lifting them up from the ground and playing with them.
"Princess!" Xander was about to help her when Angel stopped him.
"It's all right, they mean no harm." Angel assures him.
"But-"
"They're just curious, wanting to play with them. They have no sick intention to harm the children." Angel said with a smile, watching as the stars played with the children. Xander was hesitant, worried about the princess. But to his relief, the stars gently put Val down next to Xander before soaring off. "See? All is well."
Xander looked at her calmly. "You have a talent for knowing things." He complimented Angel.
Angel smiles at him calmly. "Indeed. But I try my best to not act like a total...what Dark would say...ah...a smartass." She said before giving Xander a wink.
"...Wise words." Xander said, earning a playful smile from Angel.
Watching from afar, Trickster was smirking at the sight of Angel and Xander. Finding it amusing to see the most dangerous warrior being swooned over by a human. Oh, he's going to use this as blackmail.
"I knew one day that Xanny would find someone." Trickster said with a grin.
Silvereyes, with Jack on his shoulder, gave Trickster an annoyed look. "Can you not try to get yourself killed for once?"
Trickster shrugged. "Hey, it's not my fault Xanny isn't a lover boy like me." Trickster said with a grin.
"You did nothing but annoy Ms. Nakadai by calling her short." Natrix informs him.
"Hey, I call her Little Mimi or Cutie Pie." Trickster said with a grin.
"...You're a sick minded person, you know that right?" Jack said to him.
"Meh, not the first thing I was called." Trickster said, taking it as a compliment.
Suddenly, they heard the bushes rustling about. Starscream panicked and quickly jumped on the closest arms there was. And much to everyone's annoyance, including the Predacons, it was Yunna. The Techno-Organic was able to keep her balance as she caught Starscream in her arms as he started to panic at the moving bush.
"What is that?! What abomination is hidden in this island!?" He screamed in Yunna's arms, not aware that both Hybrid and Livewire were glaring at him dangerously. Coming out of the bushes, a small Predacon Sparkling aka Fangripper jumped out, releasing adorable barks. The Predacons in Isola Della Vita watched in amusement how Starscream was easily scared by a small sparkling.
"Stay calm and don't move, he can smell fear." Twoface jokes, earning a few snickers from his fellow Predacon companions as well as the Wreckers.
"You have Predacon Sparklings?" Predaking asked curiously, kneeling down to get a good look at Fangripper. The curious Predacon Sparkling tilted his head towards Predaking and cautiously went over to him, sniffing about if he's friendly or not. But seeing he is no threat, Fangripper fearlessly jumps on his shoulders and crawls around him, much to Predaking's amusement.
"Huh, fearless one, aren't you?" Predaking scratched underneath Fangripper's chin, earning happy purrs.
Soon, more sparklings both Predacons and Cybertronians, came out from the undergrowth, wanting to see newcomers and greeted them warmly. Although they were hesitant to see the Decepticons, their Predacon guardians are close by and keeping an eye on them.
"Sacrebleu! Look at them all!" Hot Rod said in amazement.
"Dang! Who knew you all were keeping all the sparkling here?" Smokescreen bent down and allowed some Predacon Sparklings to sniff at him. "Hey there little guys or...girls?" Suddenly, a Predacon Griffon Sparkling tackles him, giving happy licks. "Gah! Help! Adorable Sparkling Attack! HAHA! C-Cut it out!" As the sparkling continues liking him, Tempest comes over and picks up the Sparkling, allowing Smokescreen to sit up. "Thanks." He said with a smile.
"Don't mention it." Tempest said blankly, putting the Sparkling down, without saying a rude comment to Smokescreen. Getting Lusha's attention.
Optimus looked over to Diamond Silk. "I would like to ask some questions about the island and the Predacons you are accompanied with?"
Diamond Silk nodded her head. "Of course."
Then Foxtrot said. "But first, tell that Seeker to get his filthy hands off my apprentice." Glaring towards Starscream, still clutching at a very confused Yunna.
Hearing this, Hybrid and Livewire gladly do so. Hybrid yank Starscream off Yunna, without hurting the femme of course, while Livewire brings her away to a safe distance. This way, Hybrid has enough space to throw Starscream, which he did, and send the screaming Seeker, hurtling to the lake. And he crashed into it with a huge splash. Damien, Skywarp, Rocco, and Wheelie clapped their hands with Rumble and Frenzy before taking out boards with the number 10.
"I wasn't aware that you have taken in an apprentice before." Shockwave said towards Foxtrot.
"I have two actually, and I clearly don't want you to meet them." Foxtrot said in a threatening tone. "Yunna, I need you to assist Dr. Wu and Dr. Creature with their research."
"Hai." Yunna transforms into her human form, shocking the group in the process.
Seeing her human form, Soundwave couldn't believe his optics. Standing right in front of him was the human femme that he met so long ago and lost contact a year ago after she left her country to go to America to study abroad. But before Soundwave could get to her, Raf recognizes her immediately.
"Wait a minute...you're Shina Ayaka! Miko's cousin!" Raf exclaimed in shock.
"Wait, Miko's cousin?!" Trickster asked in realization. "You're Miko's cousin!?"
Yunna, startled by this, backs away slightly. Hybrid and Livewire shielded her from the Cybertronians and the others, making sure that they don't do any funny business. "H-Hai...I am Miko-chan's cousin."
"I don't believe it! So that's what Dark Twilight meant, you being a victim of M.E.C.H., you were transformed into a Cybertronian!" Smokescreen exclaimed in shock.
Yunna nodded her head sadly. "Hai...M.E.C.H staged a terrible accident that got my body badly wounded. They transferred my soul into a Protoform and turned me into a weapon. I was soon saved by Mystica before I could cause any more harm and was healed by Lady Zosia. Then I was taken in by the Predacons as one of their own."
"They welcome you to their pack." Arcee said, looking at Yunna. "No wonder they seem attached to you."
"Hai, they aren't as bad as you think." Yunna assured.
Suddenly, two metal balls came zooming in, surprising their guests and tripping the Terror Twins in the process. The two balls transformed, revealing the two mini con Cyclones, Backtrack and Ransack, who were laughing towards the fallen Terror Twins.
"You have Cyclones?" Optimus asked in surprise.
"Indeed, we believe that they have imprinted on Yunna. Taking a liking towards her." Diamond Silk explains about the connection with the Cyclones and Yunna.
"I see..." Optimus said with interest.
"Gotta admit, you guys must've been through a lot to build a hidden sanctuary for the Predacons." Smokescreen compliment.
"You have no idea." Arma said with a sigh.
"Pardon my intrusion, but we must be off now." Tech informs them.
"Understood, Tech. Take us to the next dimension." Foxtrot said to the A.I. "Time to say your farewells, children."
"Okay, bye-bye stars!" Val giggles as she waves at the stars when they leave.
"Commencing dimensional traveling." Tech said, making the ship go to another dimension.
The next dimension was covered in black and white. Everyone found it strange and somewhat interesting. Although the Predacons almost stepped on their human companions due to the black and white colors, Tech quickly moved on to the next dimension. And this dimension was dark and stormy, almost resembling a horror movie. But it also reminds the Monstrums about their home while Meygana, Dark, Lusha, Tempest liked it as well.
"Love it." The females and the Monstrums, minus Xander, complemented. Suddenly a huge flash of lightning almost struck them. Starscream screamed and jumped in the arms of Breakdown.
"Moving on!" Owen yelled out.
Tech transported them to another dimension, a tropical dimension with a beautiful clear blue ocean. And of course, they stay for a while and relax a bit. Wu, Archie, and Carl were studying the flora and fauna of the dimension with Yunna and Sage. Hybrid and Livewire were guarding them, keeping an eye for any predators or pesky Decepticons or other Dracons. Meanwhile, the children, wearing their swimsuits, were at the beach of the tropical island, watching two Predacon sharks racing about. Crusoe, Kuroi and Summer along with the other magical familiars that belong to the children. Crusoe is especially close to Quinn's Griffin, Araceli. Predaking was getting to know his kin, after finding out that the rest of the clone Predacons survive thanks to Mystica. He is forever grateful for her and the children for letting them live here on this island paradise. He became close to Saphira and her family, finding them very interesting. They came over to check on their children with the others, seeing them looking at the ocean with the other Predacons.
"What are you all looking at?" Owen asked them.
That's where Damien answered. "Wheeljack asked two of the Predacon sharks a favor about having a race with Bulkhead to see who is faster."
"And they are doing this, why?" Foxtrot dared to ask.
"Yee-haw!" They heard Wheeljack cheering. They looked up to see Wheeljack and Bulkhead riding on top of the shark Predacons, racing through the water. They made a sharp turned that caused a huge splash that drenched everyone. Except for the Mythical Creatures with wings and Kuroi flew away just before the water could splash on them. Amalthea the unicorn formed a shield to protect her, Val and Celestia. While the rest of the group got wet.
"Those sonsabitches." Dark mutters out angrily.
When Bulkhead and Wheeljack were near the shorelines, laughing about the sudden adrenaline, were about to high-five, until they spotted the group. Everyone got wet from the huge splash except for mythical creatures and the two little girls, giving the Wreckers the look.
"Hehehe...sorry about that." Bulkhead apologies.
Wheeljack just chuckled. "Well, that's one way to cool down." He joked to the group.
Suddenly, a coconut was thrown right on his forehead, causing the Wrecker to fall off the shark predacon and into the water with a big splash. The one who threw it was Destiny, growling at Wheeljack for wetting her and her friends. Skywarp, Darksteel, and Skylynx snickered at his misfortune while Tempest summons some towels for everyone.
"Thanks, Tempest." Quinn thanked the Techno-Organic femme.
"No problem."
"You know, you should show off some of your skills, Tempy. To see what you can do." Sideswipe said in a flirty tone, only to get a towel thrown on his face.
"Frag off." Tempest said with a growl before walking away.
Next dimension was a dimension filled with active volcanoes. They quickly avoided that dimension and went to another dimension which was a dimension filled with giant wasps which they avoided. So far, they traveled through three dangerous dimensions before finally reaching their dimension. The island landed back to its spot. Everyone was relieved that they got back home, finally safe and sound from danger.
"We have arrived back to our destination." Tech said to them.
"And it's still Saturday afternoon." Marco answered with a sigh. "Now, we need to figure out how to return to the little girls' home and make a cover up story."
"Oh, that's easy!" Lusha said happily as she took out a document. "We can blame it on M.E.C.H.!"
"Blame M.E.C.H.? That's impossible." Ratchet informs her. "No one would believe you."
"Don't worry, M.E.C.H. is gone." Lusha assures, getting odd looks from the group. "When I say gone, I mean demolish, destroy, erase from this very existence."
"Are you saying that M.E.C.H...is gone? For good?" Smokescreen said in shock.
Lusha giggled. "Yup! All thanks to Leonidas, his clans, and Yo-yo's clan! And Destiny too! I mean, she really, I mean really wanted to destroy M.E.C.H. after she learned that their leader, Silas, was the one that ruined her life by killing her family and kidnapping her to become a craze experiment that kills anyone that gets in her way. And now they got what they deserve after she massacres them all."
"You guys...killed them?" Bluestreak asked in shock.
"We didn't give them much of a choice." Leonidas said with a glare. "They were the ones that made a deal with a madman that took away the lives of innocent people, taking them from their homes and families. They have to be stopped at any cost."
"Even if it means destroying them." Dreadwing said seriously.
"Indeed." Archie was the one who answered. "Silas and his men did illegal experiments of transferring living minds to cybernetics. And Yunna was their first test." They weren't aware that Soundwave clutches his fists to a ball at the mention of Silas for what he did to Yunna. "They would've made another attempt, but we had to stop them and steal all their data and equipment."
"And now since they're gone, you guys are going to use it as a cover up for the girls' kidnapping." Raf filled in the blanks.
"Precisely." Carl said with a nod. "That way, they will not know about the Monstrums or your existence. It will keep you all safe for now."
"But still...we need to inform Agent Fowler about this." Optimus said to them.
"And Miko, she needs to know what's happening." Raf said to them.
"Oh, please. I doubt he could help." Dark said rudely. "And besides, we already got it covered."
The group looked at each other in confusion. "And how is that?" Arcee asked.
"Trust me on this." Spider-Man began. "If Dark has a plan, it always works."
In a news forecast, Audrey Timmonds (from Godzilla 1998) was seen, behind her were a crowd of policemen with paramedics running about.
"This Audrey Timmonds, reporting live in Nevada's forest. Our top story today, the missing girls have been found. As it turns out, they were kidnapped by a terrorist group called M.E.C.H. and were almost used as test subjects for creating next generation super soldiers. Lucky, no one was harmed by this as they were rescued by none other than Spider-Man and his mysterious partner, Dark Twilight. They located and stopped M.E.C.H. from harming the girls. The whereabouts of the members remained unknown, but from what I heard, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are on the case. Back to you Ted."
The screen of Mercury's monitor closed, revealing the shock faces of the group, except for the serious ones. They had no idea that Dark was prepared for this. I mean, they just got back and Dark already planned this in one day. And every human believes it. Foxtrot and her team are in with them along with Arcee's sisters, Mystica, Angel, Saphira, Dark Twilight, Spider-Man, Meygana, Lusha, and the adults. The kids are outside playing with the Predacons.
"How did you..." Smokescreen dared to ask.
"What could I say, I'm good at making a cover up." Dark said with a smirk. "Plus, Meygana and Lusha helped me out a lot."
Lusha giggled happily. "Yeah! We Scorpios are known to make good cover up stories. Now, let's get back to business." She said to the group happily.
"And that is?" Predaking asked curiously.
Lusha giggled and looked at the ones in charge. "Well? Aren't ya gonna tell them?"
"Tell us what?" Smokescreen asked them curiously.
Foxtrot sighs in annoyance. "We had a discussion..."
Moonracer cuts her off. "That you guys can stay here!"
"Which I did not agree to this." Foxtrot stated the fact.
Diamond Silk smiles at her. "Foxtrot, it was a majority vote, we all know what really happened to the war. And we need all the help we could get." Earning an eye roll from the scientist.
"So you're letting us stay?!" Sunstreak asked excitedly but shut up when Foxtrot glared at him.
Elita-One was the one who answered. "Yes, since we need all the help we could get. Right, everyone?" She asks towards the door, which automatically opens to reveal the others with Skywarp, Damien, and Cliff trying to listen through the door, which results in them falling face first onto the group with loud yelps.
"So..." Foxtrot began, causing the three males to lift their heads up. "How long have you all been listening?"
"Uhh..." Was all Skywarp and Damien could say before they quickly pointed at Cliffjumper. "He did it!"
Cliff gave them an annoyed look. "HEY!"
Kendall rolls her eyes. "We heard that they're staying with us." She answered while the three males got up.
"So...does this mean we're staying?" Sunstreak asked happily.
"As long as you don't mess with the Predacons, Destiny, touching our stuff, or do anything stupid, and maybe we can consider this." Foxtrot said with a serious tone. "But considering of Meygana's curse, you are welcome to stay...for now."
The group, except for the serious ones, cheered in delight. Lusha joined in the cheering and said something that stopped them. "YAY! Now let's go kidnap your friends!"
"What?" The Autobots and Raf asked in confusion and somewhat shock.
"Yeah! We're gonna kidnap your friends and bring them here." Lusha said proudly.
"Woah, woah! We're not kidnapping Miko and Fowler!" Smokescreen cuts her off.
"Really? No kidnapping?" Lusha asked innocently.
"We'll just contact them and explain the reason." Bulkhead said to her.
"...Oh, so you won't like the welcoming gift I got for you guys." Lusha said.
This confused everyone. "What welcoming gift?" Arcee dared to ask.
Lusha takes out a big purple cloth and tosses it before quickly pulling it away, revealing three frozen figures, trapped inside a huge ice block. The Autobots and Raf were shocked to see Agent Fowler, Miko, and another human which Bee and Arcee recognize as Vogel, who helped them find the Phase Shifter at the New York's subway station.
"SURPRISE!" Lusha cheered happily, doing jazz hands in the process. This earned a facepalm from Foxtrot and Gem while her sister and Dark chuckled in amusement. Knowing that the group had to figure out how to explain this to them.
I'm gonna stop here for a while and work on the other stories. Review or Favorite.
