Miko's POV

It all started when I came home from the little talk about Isaiah. That was when I heard some sounds coming from his room. Curious, I decided to investigate. I opened the door and was shocked by what I saw: Raf kissing Alyssa! I was so shocked, I dropped what was I holding in my hand (which was my phone)! The noise it made startled the living daylights out of both of them. They turned and saw me. I was pissed off.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell Isaiah about this…." I growled. How dare they do this behind the man who gave us a home and a bed!

"Miko!" Raf begged, "don't tell Isaiah," he tried running after me, "You don't understand! Alyssa was asking me for advice on some homework and before we knew it-"

"We had a connection…." Alyssa finished. I looked at them in shock. Was that why? I turned away from them, deep in thought. That was when I heard my phone ring. I picked it up and saw that it was Jack calling. What could be so important right now?! I thought as answered it.

"Miko, it's really bad.." Jack said.

"What could be so important right now?!" I growled, " I just found out that 4-Eyes here has been kissing Alyssa!"

Jack wasn't listening, however, "That's not important right now, Miko!" He continued, "I just got a call from Lacus, and -"

"And what?!" I screamed, "Isaiah kissed her?!"

"No…" Jack replied.

"Did he propose to her?!" I growled.

"No…" He repeated, "Miko what's gotten into you? Never mind, just listen to me for once in your life!"

"WHAT HAPPENED THEN?!" I screamed.

Jack was quiet for a moment, "...When Lacus, Bethany, and Isaiah were getting out of the theatre, they were attacked and ...Bethany was kidnapped…"

"Good for her!" I replied

"Isaiah was taken as well….." He finished. I dropped my phone in shock. "Miko?" I heard Jack say. I held on to the nearest object to support myself. "Miko, all you right?" Jack asked again.

"No…" I thought as I processed this. I fell to my knees. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't. It was just like when Bulkhead almost died. "No… " I whispered, remembering when I first met him… I picked up the phone again and answered back. "Jack,"

"Yeah, Miko?" He asked.

"Contact the other Primes," I remarked, "We're getting Isaiah back."

Kicker's POV

"Can anyone tell me why we're all here?" I inquired, pissed off. I was looking at some anti-robot rally and was about to join them when I got the call.

"We're all in the dark as much as you are," Neo replied. "Trust me, I'm not happy about this either," I growled at him. As if he was doing anything else other than hanging with those emo kids.

"Miko said it was something about Isaiah," Russell commented. "Speaking of which, where is Isaiah anyways?" We all turned to see where he was and didn't see any trace of him whatsoever. Miko walked in which caused us to shut up immediately. Miko sat down and was silent for a moment.

"I apologize for interrupting your day everyone," she began, "but there's been a matter of the most urgent matter," She stopped for a moment as if she was hesitant about what she was going to say.

"Just tell us already!" I growled, losing my patience.

"Isaiah and Bethany were kidnapped earlier today and haven't been heard from since then." Everyone was silent all of a sudden. "In order to find him," Miko continued, "I have enlisted the help of someone whom everyone except Kicker and Russell is familiar with." She turned to Gundam, who gave a nod at a figure in the doorway. When he showed himself, Russell nearly jumped out of his seat.

He looked exactly like Isaiah save for the x-shaped scar on his left cheek. "Seems like everywhere I go, I see this face," I muttered.

"This is Isaiah's biological father, Gilbert Preciado Lopez." She announced. I looked at him closely. That was when I noticed the similarities and differences between him and Isaiah. The scowl he would make as if he knew what you did in secret was the same. However, the one thing that got me was how in the world did a guy like him get a weak son like Isaiah. Isaiah being weak was probably a result of being raised by his mother. I thought. "That's not all," Miko continued, "There's something else." We all paid close attention. "Another Prime has appeared." We all got up in shock from this. Why didn't we feel this?! I looked at Neo, who didn't seem to be surprised at all by the news.

"You don't look surprised, Clone," I remarked.

"In case you forgot," Neo spat, "I was created solely for the task of being aware whenever a new Prime appeared." He got up. "That was one of many things that Unicron implanted in me." He clenched his fist. "I think our priority should be to find this new Prime before the Decepticons do."

"You're in no position to be ordering people around, clone," I snapped as I got up in his face, "Especially after that little stunt you pulled with us." Everyone was silent for a moment. No one dared move a muscle until Raf broke it up.

"Let's go," Miko remarked. "Neo, Russell, and I will go and search for the new Prime while, you, Gundam, Gilbert, and the others look for Isaiah and Bethany." With that said, we all split up.

I was going to go to my room when I walked in on Gilbert looking at his son's pictures. He turned and saw me. "I wanted to have a word with you," he said in a voice that sounded like a deeper version of Isaiah's.

"What I would like to know is how a tough guy like you ended up having a son like that pushover Isaiah?" I commented as I put my arms above my head and sat down on the couch. "Do you think it's from the influence of his mother?"

"It's not because he's weak…" Gilbert replied. "It's because he doesn't want to hurt anyone…"

"What do you mean by that?" I inquired. "He's weak. He's not meant to be our leader and that's that!"

"Have you ever wondered why Isaiah seems to hold back during a fight?" He inquired. That got my attention. Come to think of it, he was holding back when we fought each other.

"Yeah, so what?" I replied.

He was about to tell me when Gundam appeared and said, "We scanned the entire city and couldn't find anyone who matches the description that Lacus gave!"

"What did she say that they look like?" Gilbert asked.

"She said they had masks that were designed to look like Black Smoke Shenron," Gundam replied. Gilbert froze. He clenched his fists.

"Those bastards…" he growled. "They knew….."

"Who are they?" I asked.

He looked at us with a look that scared the living crap out of us. "Shadow Dragons."

Miko's POV

"According to these readings," Russell remarked as he looked at a scanner. "The new prime should be around here somewhere….." So far, we've had no luck with finding the new Prime at all.

"Now this is interesting," we all heard a feminine voice say. Something about that voice seemed familiar… "The Primes looking for something, or should I say, someone?" Russell threw some of his feathers at where the voice was only for a figure to appear. Upon seeing who it was, he stopped.

"Who are you?" He asked. I, however, already knew who it was.

"Anime," I remarked, "What are you doing here?" Anime's design was drastically different from the last time I encountered her: her outfit looked like a combination of Sailor Venus and the main character of Kill la Kill.

"My sister was taken," she replied. "So I decided to look for information as to her whereabouts and ended up running into you."

"What a coincidence," Neo remarked, "our leader was also taken." That seemed to get Anime's attention.

"Well, then," she said, "I do believe that an alliance is in order."

"Should we trust her?" Russell whispered, "She could be working with the enemy."

I was about to say something but was instead caught off guard when we all were attacked by an energy blast. I looked and saw a Decepticon holding up a gun. "It looks like it's my lucky day," he remarked, "I not only find the latest Prime to appear but I just so happened to run into the other Primes as well!"

"All except for two," Neo remarked. Barricade looked at him and smiled. It seemed to unnerve Neo a bit. "I see you're still doing grunt work, Barricade."

"I was hoping I'd run into you," He replied. "Galvatron's still pissed off over the fact that you betrayed the Decepticons." His gun turned into an ax and began swinging it around. "Word has it that Swindle's put a price on your head."

"Tell me," Neo commented, "Is that your faceplate, or did you get mixed up this morning and switch it with your aft?" I snickered when he said that.

Barricade growled as he opened his chest compartment and pulled out something that was human-shaped. I gasped: it was a boy who looked no older than Alana did and he was covered in blood. "I swear," Barricade remarked, "you Primes always seem to get carried away when it comes to self-defense. This little bastard almost cost me my left eye." We were about to fight Barricade when Neo put his hand in front of us.

"Stay back," he remarked. "I'll handle him."

"He could kill you," Anime remarked. "Or take you to that Unicorn guy or whatever his name is."

He smiled, "There are so many things you guys don't know about me and Optimus." He pulled out a sword and pressed a button on it. It began to turn into some kind of war club. When he was done he put himself into a stance and said, "Aztec Style: Jaguar's Roar!" I was confused by what he said at first but then was shocked when he moved so fast, making him a blur. When I saw him again, he was behind Barricade and sliced him with the serrated edges of the war club. Barricade grabbed his arm and roared. He roared and swung the ax at Neo, who blocked it with the war club. "Don't worry about me!" he said, "You just go get the kid!" Thinking fast, Anime and I ran toward the kid while Neo and Russell fought off Barricade.

"You okay, kid?" I asked as I looked at him to see if he was alive.

"Y-yeah?" he replied, shivering. "I'm scared." I didn't blame him. I was like that too when I first came here. I was about to say something when Russell and Neo were thrown next to us. We turned around and saw Barricade with a girl with a mask next to him.

"Took you long enough…" Barricade scowled. His partner said nothing as she looked at us. She was about Anime's height, had long brown hair, wearing a green and yellow shirt, and the mask had a green dot on the forehead, 2 red circles where the eyes would be, a black infinity symbol surrounding the red circles, and finally, 2 smaller red circles where the cheeks would be, giving off a marionette appearance. "Why don't you teach them a lesson?" The girl said nothing but instead took 2 knives out of her pockets and tried to throw them at us. I tried to dodge them but instead was hit by one of those knives.

"Are you okay, Solus?" Anime inquired. I was about to speak when I saw another knife being thrown toward the boy. That was when Russell threw himself in the way of the knife and had it go through his shoulder. He roared from the pain. "Worry about yourself!" the boy remarked, "Why'd you save me?!"

"That's what heroes do," He replied, "They save people." That was when the masked girl came at us with a knife when Anime blocked it with her sword.

"Leave her alone!" I screamed, kicking the girl in the face. She looked at me as if I did something wrong. Oddly, the mask didn't come off. I know I hit her! I thought as I dodged her knives. Why didn't it break off?! I tripped and fell over. That was when I saw Neo and Russell's skin starting to peel off.

"We'll have to take this fight to the next level!" Neo exclaimed. "Solus! Blow her away! We'll take on Barricade while you take on the Chara girl!"

Reluctant, I did the same thing. My skin began to peel off, two tails coming out of me. "Anime," I said, "Take the kid and get out here, now..."

"What are you?" Anime whispered. I turned to her.

"I'm a Prime." And with that, I lost all self-awareness.

Daniel's POV

What was going on? All I remembered before I got here was running from some evil robots and the next thing I knew, I was trying to defend myself against another robot. And then, I was being protected by some girl that for some reason reminded me of Sari. "What's your name, kid?"

I tried to look at her but was too scared to do so. "D-daniel Witwicky…." I replied, scared out of my wits. "W-where am I?"

"You're in Fresno, California," was the girl's reply. "And we need to get out of here before it's too late!" She pointed at 3 blood-covered people who were attacking a person with a mask on and a robot. They were getting pummeled by both of them.

"We need to help them!" I screamed, pointing at where the bloody people were getting hurt.

"Sorry kid," the girl replied, picking me up, "That ain't my department." She continued. That was when Barricade rammed into us and tried to grab me. That was when he was grabbed by six blood-covered tails.

"What the-?!" he screamed as he looked behind him. We saw one of the people who was acting crazy holding him back with those tails. I looked and saw that the tails were starting to corrode at his armor. "You bastards!" he screamed, grabbing one of the tails and threw the boy at the girl. Thinking fast, I pushed the girl out of the way and took it in full force.

Neo's POV

I entered out of Cybertron mode to see the boy having a white glow around him. I looked at him in shock as his brown hair began to shift from a brown to a yellow color. I could hear X-Ray Dog's song, Intrigue, play in my head as he began to transform. "What's going on?" Anime inquired, "That kid one of you or something?!"

"It looks like it…." I replied in shock. We all looked on in silence as we saw the kid transform. DBS-like Bardock armor started to form around him. Two long yellow cannons emerged from behind him as he sported Ingenium helmet appendages on his head, tank treads where my "backpack" would have been. Tank treads formed around his legs as he grew a red mouthplate, covering his mouth. Barricade broke free and tried to punch the boy but missed as the boy dodged him. The boy's eyes were closed as he landed a direct hit on Barricade. The impact caused Barricade to spew out energon from the impact point. "I know who that is…" I whispered, "That's-"

"I am Sentinel Prime," The kid finished, putting himself in a stance, "And you are about to be destroyed." He pulled out a giant scythe and swung it around. Barricade transformed and tried to run but seeing this as my chance, I got up and tried to run after him but got a surprise as the kid jumped in front of Barricade and sliced him in half, killing the Decepticon instantly. The girl in the mask just looked at us before escaping. The other primes had exited out of Cybertron mode and saw what had happened. We were all quiet for a moment until our communicators beeped.

"What is it?" I asked. "We just found the next Prime and-"

"Can it, clone!" Kicker replied, "We found out who took Optimus and Bethany." That got everyone's except for Sentinel's attention.

"Who did it?" Miko inquired. "Was it that creepy girl?"

"No," Kicker replied, "It was…. Shadow Dragons."

"Come again?" Russell asked. "Shadow Dragons?"

Anime grabbed Russell's comlink and spoke into it. "You're saying that a girl and a guy were kidnapped by the most deadly gang in all of the United States of America?!"

"Who is this?" I heard Kicker say.

"As of now," I replied, "An ally." I turned toward the others and said, "We're taking her back to our headquarters." Everyone looked at me in shock.

"We can't take her to our base!" I heard Kicker say, "We'd be exposing ourselves to her and- You know what? Forget it. You've had enough time in the sun, Clone, from this point on, I'm the leader, and I say that we don't take her to our headquarters!" At this point, I turned off my comlink and nodded toward Miko and Russell. Realizing what I meant, they both transformed, (Anime climbing on Russell's back.) and followed me to where I was taking them all.

"Out of curiosity," Miko said where Anime could not overhear us, "Just where are we going anyways? We certainly can't go to the house, because if we do that, we'll expose Isaiah."

"Don't worry," I replied, "I know just the place where we can set up a place of operations without risking it."

We pulled up into a lot where there was an abandoned warehouse. We transformed and walked in as Anime asked us questions.

"Is this your base or something?" she asked. I just smiled at her as we entered it. Everyone else was all shocked by what they saw, which was a hi-tech lab and command center.

"When did you-?" Russell asked.

"Before the fight between the Gundam and Optimus," was my reply. Miko looked at the monitor in awe.

"Shoot!" Miko exclaimed, "with all this tech, we could make android replicas of our secret identities and never go to school ever again!" I glared at her. "Sorry…." she apologized.

"This is rather interesting," Sentinel remarked as he looked at the hi-tech equipment.

"So," I said as I spoke into the comlinks, "You said that the Shadow Dragons took them?"

"That's not all," I heard Gundam say, "Turns out that they've kidnapped 4 other kids as well: 3 boys and 1 girl."

"But why though?" I heard Anime ask. "Why would they do that?"

"It's because their leader has a personal vendetta against me" Gilbert replied.

"What does this have to do with you?" Miko inquired. Gilbert was silent as if he didn't want to say something.

"I'll tell you when the rest of us get there." He replied.

Russell's POV

When the rest got to the warehouse, I was leaning against a wall when Anime came by. She looked at me for a minute before her attention was diverted to the man who was with the others: he had a mask that looked exactly like Time Breaker Bardock's. He also wore a green T-shirt along with a red bandana. His pants were a rich blue and carried a sword.

"OMG!" Anime screamed, "I can't believe that you guys never told me that you knew the legendary vigilante known as Bardock!" She looked around to see if there was anyone else.

"We didn't." was Kicker's reply. He noticed Sentinel Prime looking at him. "This is the new Prime?" he inquired, "Doesn't look like much."

"I could kick more butt than you ever could, Choir boy." was Sentinel's reply. I could tell that Kicker was about ready to pummel the kid's face when Bardock broke up the fight.

"Enough!" he said with a tone of command, "This is exactly what the enemy wants us to do!"

"So you said that the leader of the Shadow Dragons has a personal grudge against you," Miko remarked, "What does this have to do with Optimus?"

Bardock sighed as he put a hand on his mask. "Because," he said. He looked at Kicker and Gundam, who both nodded. He took off his mask, revealing his face to Anime. "He's my son."

Anime looked at him for a second before saying, "I'm not really in the mood for humor, so can you be a little truthful?" Gilbert looked at her before Anime realized what was going on. "OMG!" she screamed, "You really are Optimus Prime's father! I can see it now! You both have the same eye shape, hairstyle, and voice…." Her face changed to something like that of utmost shock, "Y-Y-YOU'RE OPTIMUS PRIME'S DAD?!" She screamed, pointing at him like he was some kind of rat. "Y-Y-YOU CAN'T BE HIS DAD! FOR YOU TO BE OPTIMUS' DAD WOULD MEAN THAT HE'S….." Anime stopped in shock as the truth began to dawn on her, "Isaiah Valenzuela…." She turned towards the rest of us and walked up to each of us. "You're that exchange student Miko.," she told Miko. Miko just nodded in response. She got in front of me, "You're that kid I tried to kiss when I thought you were Isaiah…." I nodded, realizing that Anime was that Brielle girl.

When she was done identifying us, she sat down on a chair and was silent for a really long time. That was when Sentinel talked to me. "She's really freaking out," he remarked.

"I'd be too if I found out that people I know were really superheroes." I replied, "It's like that one episode of Power Rangers: Mystic Force."

"Tell me about it," was Sentinel's response. He put his hand in a form of greeting, "My name's Daniel by the way." he said.

"I'm Russell Clay," I replied, shaking his hand. He nodded as he looked at everyone.

"Who's the leader here?" he asked.

"No one right now," I replied as the both of us looked at the others. "Normally it'd be the person we all live with, but he's gone, so… yeah….." That was when Neo came up to us.

"Thanks to Gilbert," he began, "We know where the Shadow Dragons would be located."

"Should we head out then?" I asked.

"Not yet," he replied, "We need to formulate a plan first. Rushing in without thinking would just be a suicide mission."

"Screw that." I replied, "We're just sitting on our butts with our thumbs up in our noses." I scanned the map of where the hideout would be, then I ran out and transformed with Anime grabbing one of my tailfeathers.

"What are you doing?" I asked, "Let go of me!"

"If I do that, I'll die!" She screamed. Thinking about this quickly, I let her on my back as we flew in the air. "So why did you fill in for Isaiah when we first met?"

"You were disguised as your older sister, so Miko thought it would be best if I went in his place instead. Instead, I got you and your yandere obsession with Isaiah and almost ended up going through life looking like Nick Fury." I turned my head toward her, "Why did you even think of doing that in the first place?" I inquired. "You could have gotten arrested for assault."

Brielle sighed, "I didn't try to kiss Isaiah because I liked him. The truth is, I don't have a crush on Isaiah." This shocked me.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, "Why would you try to kiss Isaiah if you didn't like him?"

She sighed, "Do you promise not to tell the others if I tell you this?" I was confused by what she meant by that but agreed anyway. "It's Bethany who has a crush on Isaiah, and I figured that if I did it while pretending to be her, it would make Isaiah like her a little bit."

"Why not tell him herself?" I asked.

"You don't get it, do you?" she replied. She sighed as we were getting nearer to the hideout, "It's because she has those feelings for him that she struggles to express them. As a result, whenever she wants to show her feelings, Bethany gets these insecurities about herself, she gets questions like, what if he doesn't like me? Or what if he has feelings for someone else?" She stopped for a moment, "That's when it all goes to hell, and then she ends up hurting him."

I thought about all of this when she finished, "If you really want Isaiah to like Bethany," I said as we began to land about 2 miles away from the Shadow Dragon hideout, "Then let Bethany do it herself instead of you doing it for her."

"Actually," she remarked as we got closer to the building, "I've been doing it without her knowing it."

"Wait, what?" I said as we got nearer to the warehouse. "Why would you do that?"

"I'm tired of her not making her move on Isaiah," She replied. "Plus it's also fun watching Isaiah blush as he tries to get away from me!" she giggled. We turned around a corner and received a shock: The hideout of the Shadow Dragons was a pizzeria called Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. On it was 3 people: a boy wearing a tuxedo that looked like Isaiah, except he had brown hair, a little top hat, no glasses, and some bear ears on his head. Next to him was a blonde girl wearing a cooking apron and a bib that said: "let's eat!". She held a cupcake that seemed to have pink frosting. She seemed to look a lot like that Lacus girl. Finally, there was a boy who had purple bunny ears and was wearing a suit of some kind. He had short purple hair and for some reason looked like me. He was holding a guitar that was a rock star in appearance.

"That's somewhat creepy…" I remarked as we entered the place and saw things that related to birthday parties.

"We hope you have a great birthday experience!" I heard a feminine voice say. I turned and looked at the stage: on it were the same people on the sign outside.

"My God!" she exclaimed, "Freddy!" She pointed toward the Isaiah one, "Bonnie!" she screamed as pointed to bunny me. "Chica!" she pointed to Blonde Lacus. She looked around to see if they had any more and sighed, "I stopped going here after I found out that they got rid of Foxy."

"What did he look like?" I inquired.

"He looked like Kicker, except he had a pirate outfit, a hook for one hand, red hair, and red fox ears on top of his head." she sighed, "He was always my favorite." She perked up, "You hear that?" I listened for any interesting noises and picked up some odd noises coming from the back room. Curious to know, I activated my infrared scanner and checked. I saw someone talking to another person about something. I listened to what they were saying.

"-Not sure if he can take the pressure of doing so," I heard a woman say.

"What do you mean by that?" a man asked, "The tests show that he and the others are more than capable of handling the stress."

"What concerns me is the amount of stress that Subject: Kakkarot can take while performing these missions." The woman replied.

"That one hero we kidnapped - Frisk - right? She's been able to handle the assignments well despite her split personality, so why should we concern ourselves about that Autistic boy?" The man scoffed, "If there was someone more qualified to handle Bardock himself, it would have to be none other than his biological son." I heard him spit on the floor. "Subject: Chi Chi, on the other hand, is a problem in herself. The only reason why we took her was that we found out that Gine had no children. She was the closest match we could find."

"What is it?" Brielle asked.

"They have Isaiah and Bethany here, along with that girl who attacked us earlier." I replied, "I have an idea how to get in."

"Really," Brielle replied, "What is it?"

Miko's POV

"Have you managed to get in contact with Russell or Brielle?" I inquired, looking at the monitors to see where they went.

"No such luck," Kicker replied as he typed on the keyboard, "Russell disabled his comlink when he left and Anime didn't have one, to begin with."

"Dammit!" I growled as I slammed my fist, "It would be so much easier if Isaiah was here!"

"I got something!" I heard Gundam exclaim, "8 energy signatures coming this way!"

"8?" Sentinel Prime inquired, "I thought only Russell and that Brielle girl left."

"Can you see who it is?" Gilbert asked.

"Yes," Neo replied, "we're getting video feedback now and…..oh crap….."

"Oh, crap," was right, because we saw something really unpleasant: Russell and Anime flying toward our direction with 6 more people. They all had masks hat all had the same design as the girl we encountered earlier.

"Get out of there!" Russell screamed as our comlinks tuned in.

"Why?" I asked. "What happened?"

"Long story short: Russell decided to make us look like we're dating but instead ended up with having us being chased by these guys!" Anime replied.

"Hey!" Russell exclaimed, "It would've worked if someone had played their roles properly,"

"Save the couple's argument for later," Kicker replied, "You're going to have to change direction because you got 6 bogeys on your tail."

"Copy," Russell replied, "I don't think that we'll be heading there after all because we're falling out of the sky as we speak!" I looked at the screen and saw that he was telling the truth: both him and Brielle were falling out of the sky because of one of the masked assailants hitting one of his wings. "I'm sending you my coordinates right now!" he said as he faded out.

"There's no time to waste!" Gilbert exclaimed, "Autobots!" he said as he put his mask on. "Transform and Roll Out!" We all looked at him and then realized how much he really was like his own son. Even Kicker admitted it grudgingly.

"I guess leadership runs in the family…." Kicker grumbled as we transformed into our vehicle modes. As I turned into a motorcycle, Gilbert jumped onto me and drove us off in the direction of the coordinates.

But as we were going to our destination, we were attacked by someone who looked like- Isaiah? He was in his Prime form and had a mask just like the girl wore except without the red cheeks. "Isaiah?" I whispered, hoping that nothing happened to him.

I wish I hadn't….

To be continued….

Sorry for the long wait! I've had a lot going on in my life ever since I graduated from High school. I'm still expecting myself to wake up and still find myself in high school.

Next chapter: Gilbert and the other primes will encounter the Shadow Dragons and try to fight them. However, dark secrets from both Isaiah, Gilbert, and the entire Mexican race's past will come to light. It will also go into how Gilbert met Isaiah's mother, Rosa.

BTW: On Wattpad I just posted a RWBY story called "a Mammal-like-Reptile on Remnant". You can find it on my Goji_Pax profile.
