Isaiah's POV
I braced for impact when the knights stopped just inches above my face. What? I thought as I looked at it. Why did it stop? I was snapped out of my thinking when I heard my sisters say "Come on!" I grabbed my sisters and carried them toward the already closing door.
"We're not gonna make it!" Alyssa exclaimed as I ran.
"Don't say that yet!" I yelled as I slid underneath the door in just the nick of time.
We all lied on the floor for a little while as we tried to recover from our near-death experience. "Are we dead?" Alana asked as we lied on the stone floor.
"Don't know," I whispered, "Do dead people feel pain?" I felt a sharp kick to the shin. "Ow." I groaned as I slowly got up and looked around. Judging from what I could see, we were in a corridor that led down to some kind of chamber.
"What happened out there?" Alyssa asked as she and Alana got up. "Why couldn't we transform?"
I turned to them in confusion. Alyssa couldn't transform into Lightning Sapphire either? What was going on here? "I don't really know," I replied, "This place seems to be dampening our ability to become our hero selves."
"But why?" Alyssa asked. I turned toward the corridor and looked deep into it.
"Do you see that?" I inquired. Alyssa and Alana turned to me.
"What is it, Older Brother?" Alana inquired before looking at what I was pointing at. It was a soft dim light in the distance.
"I don't know…" I whispered, "I think we should follow it." As soon as I took a step though, I was knocked back by an invisible opponent. "What the?!" I exclaimed as the hall expanded into a room. A forcefield appeared above me and Alana before pulling us up into the air, leaving Alyssa standing there.
Neo's POV
I knew something was off right away as soon as I entered the warehouse. The dimmed lights, the screens being taken down, and opened up. Hell, even Isaiah's toolbox was- wait. Why was Isaiah's toolbox here? The last time I saw Isaiah's toolbox was in his lab. What's going on here? I wondered. I heard something clatter on the ground behind me. Without thinking, I pulled out my Ion Blaster and fired in that direction.
"What was that?!" Miko exclaimed as she and the other Primes (Amalgamous was still in stasis cuffs) ran in.
"Don't know." I replied, "Heard a clatter."
"Guys," Russell commented, "What's that?" We all looked at the area where I had fired only to see a shadow of something…. Or rather someone….
"Whoever you are, come out from where you're hiding," I said. Slowly the person began to come out only to be revealed as- a little Funtime Freddy Android?
"Be careful where you point that thing!" The android went as it ran toward me. "You could take out more than someone's eye with a weapon like that!" He then stopped and looked at my blaster. "Hmm. An Ion blaster with custom made cartridges and ammo." He looked at us and said, "Where my manners? My designation is HP-01, but you can call me Helpy!"
"What the-?" Kicker commented before being interrupted by Lacus, who had just come back from wherever she went.
"I see you've all met Helpy," She remarked, "This little guy was an Android designed by Isaiah in order to fill out a contract by Fazbear Entertainment."
"Is Helpy supposed to be sentient?" Russell inquired as Helpy pulled out a wrench and started to fill up the hole that I made with my Ion Blaster, "Because from what I remember the Fazbear Entertainment androids all had some sort limited motorization and AI."
"I can easily explain that," Helpy exclaimed as he opened his tuxedo and tapped a few buttons hidden under his hyper-realistic artificial skin, which caused his chest to open up to reveal-
"A Spark?!" Miko exclaimed as we all looked at Helpy's interior. "He has a Spark?!"
"Not just any Spark," Lacus commented, "from what Isaiah told me about Cybertronian biology, Helpy is a Point One Percenter, or a Super Robot."
"How did Helpy get a Spark in the first place?" Miko inquired.
"I'll explain later," Helpy said as he went near my trailer, "I'm guessing the new Prime is in that trailer correct?"
"How do you know about the Primes?" Daniel inquired.
"My processor is hooked to the Internet," Helpy replied as he tapped on the trailer, "Which means I have access to every database on Earth." He grabbed a crowbar and began to pry open the trailer. "From Alya Césaire's Lady blog," He groaned. "To Isaiah's cousin Marco Diaz's secret online stash." I raised an eyebrow as he said this.
"That explains a lot," Miko commented.
"Hm," Helpy commented. "Well, that's weird." He started to walk into the trailer.
"What is it?" I asked as I walked into the tailor with him. I looked and saw that instead of Amalgamous Prime, there was an unconscious young boy who had brown hair crazier than Kicker's. He was a young Japanese boy who was wearing a blue and yellow short-sleeved jacket over a red t-shirt.
"I thought you had Amalgamous Prime in your trailer, not some random kid." Kicker commented as he and everyone else looked in the trailer.
"He must have reverted to his true form when he passed out." I theorized. "From what I know, Amalgamous Prime is a shapeshifter."
"So does he have an armored form like us?" Miko asked as she looked at Amalgamous Prime with curiosity.
"Most likely," I replied, "But he can change his armor in an instant, so that means he doesn't exactly have a base armored form." That was when I noticed something in his hand. He was holding on what appeared to be some kind of data disk. Or rather, a hard drive "What do we have here?" I whispered as I walked toward and removed the hard drive from his hand.
"What is it?" Lacus asked as I scanned it for any malware it contained.
"It's a hard drive," I replied, "If I'm right, then it should have something on it." I walked up to the console and inserted the hard drive into a port. At first, nothing happened. Then I heard something beep rapidly. Then the screen blinked to life. We all looked at the screen and saw that words were being typed.
"Can you hear me?" The letters typed out.
"Yes," I replied.
"Where am I?" The screen typed.
"You're in a warehouse in Fresno, California," I said. It didn't respond for a little bit. "Judging from your lack of a response, you and your unconscious friend are from another universe." I narrowed my gaze at the screen. "A universe where Fresno probably doesn't exist."
"Another Universe?" the screen asked. "Who are you?"
"We're Primes," Miko replied, "or reincarnated ones." She walked up to the screen, "Who, or what, are you?"
"TAI" The AI replied, "My designation is TAI."
Alyssa's POV
I looked up as Isaiah and Alan were pulled up into the air in their containers. "I'll get you guys down!" I exclaimed as I looked for a way to get them down.
"Alana!" Isaiah exclaimed, "Look!" I turned around to see a huge door open up. Out came a bunch of spider-like robots and reptilian humanoid robots. "What are they?!" I said as a Spider robot fired at me.
"Rakshi are the reptilian robots!" Isaiah shouted from his prison. "Vahki are the spider robots!"
"What else?!" I said as I dodged an energy projectile from them.
"Other than that, I only that they were imported from New Zealand to here a year before Mexico's death," Isaiah commented before his mouth was covered.
"Beat them up, Chola!" Alana screamed before she was silenced as well.
"Isaiah! Alana!" I screamed before getting hit in the back by a light purple Rahkshi's staff. "That does it!" I exclaimed, putting myself in a fighting pose. "By the time I'm through with you, you're gonna wish that you were never built!" I tried to transform into Lightning Sapphire only for nothing to happen. Why can't I transform?! I thought as I grabbed a Vahki by the head and started to ride it. Now that I think about it, that Omega Supreme guy did say that these trials would require us as Mexicans... But what did that mean?
"You deceive your siblings and yourself!" a light purple Rahkshi said in Spanish.
"What?" I exclaimed as I was thrown off of the Vahki I was on. "What are you talking about?" I grabbed a Rahkshi and tore its head off. "I don't what you're talking about!"
"Lies!" a Vahki exclaimed, "Deceit!" I dodged a blast from the Vahki and grabbed a yellow Rahkshi's staff.
"I'm getting sick of you guys!" I said, stabbing a Red Vahki in the mouth as it fired, causing its head to explode. "I'm not hiding anything!"
"Liar!" A Red Rahkshi exclaimed, throwing it staff at me.
"ENOUGH!" I screamed, unintentionally transforming into a Super Chicana. The Vahki and Rahkshi stopped and took some steps back. "What do you want me to say?! That I'm dating Rafael Esquival behind Isaiah and Alana's back?! That I hide my true self behind an antisocial front because I'm afraid of how people will judge me?!" I collapsed on my knees, tears coming out of my eyes, "That I'm afraid of losing my sister and brother because, besides my grandparents, they're the only family I have left?!" The Vahki and Rahkshi all shut down the exact moment that I said that.
"Alyssa!" Isaiah screamed, "You did it!" I looked up to see that Isaiah and Alana were being released from their prisons.
I didn't say anything as Isaiah and Alana looked at me. Sensing what was going on, Isaiah and Alana didn't say anything but hugged me.
"Guys," Alana said, "Look." Isaiah and I turned to see that a door was opening.
"Let's go," I said as we walked toward the doorway. When we entered, Isaiah looked at me.
"How long?" He inquired as we walked. I knew what he was talking about right away.
"During the Shadow Dragons encounter," I replied. "He was giving me some advice on homework and before either of us knew it, we kissed." Isaiah raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" He asked, unsure as to what I said.
"I know this is typical of any girl to say but, Rafael is a really nice guy," I remarked as we bumped into Alana. "Alana," I said, "What's-?" Isaiah and I looked at the reason Alana stopped. Our jaws dropped.
It was a giant metal sphere with cables and pipes coming out of it. It was probably 5 times bigger than the Times Square Ball. It pulsed as we walked up to it as if it were alive. "What is that?" Alana inquired, her hand reaching out to touch it.
"That's a brain module…." Isaiah replied, "Every sentient robotic being has one…."
"It's… beautiful…" I whispered as walked around it. It pulsed for a minute.
"Indeed," A voice said behind us. "Too bad it'll be the last thing you'll ever see after this." We turned in alarm to see Dullindel with a gun. Judging by the way he looked, he looked like he's seen better days.
"How did you-?!" Isaiah began before being cut off.
"I found a short cut to here," he replied. "We're done here," he continued, "I've found Behemoth's control center." He gestured to the room we were in. "All I need is the key to activate it, then I'll have complete control over it." He pointed to us. "Or should I say 'keys'?"
"You can't just simply turn Behemoth on and off," Isaiah remarked, "What we're dealing with isn't a mindless weapon of destruction but-," Bang! The gun went off and hit Isaiah in the thigh.
"Isaiah!" Alana and I screamed as we ran to him. Isaiah winced in pain as I touched his leg.
"Next one will be in a more vital spot," Dullindel remarked, pointing the gun toward Alana. "Activate Behemoth," He whispered, "Or your baby sister joins the rest of your kind."
"STOP!" Isaiah said, "We'll activate Behemoth!" Dullindel smiled.
All three of us went up to the brain module only to see that we couldn't find a way to actually activate Behemoth. That was when I saw a button that was a red color. I looked at Isaiah.
"Green on my side," he said in Spanish.
"Mine's white the eagle and cactus on it," Alana commented. All of a sudden we realized that these were in the colors of the Mexican Flag. We all knew what to do immediately. I took a deep breath and pushed on the red button when Isaiah and Alana did at the same time.
Miko's POV
"That was a lot," I commented as I sat down on the couch. "So basically, now we have a tactical artificial intelligence on our side that is more than willing to help us just because she knew her universe's Optimus Prime and fight the Decepticons as long as the new Prime is okay?"
"I guess," Russel replied as he grabbed 2 bottles of water, giving one to me and having one for himself.
"It would seem that way," Neo commented.
"You know," Lacus remarked as she pulled up a chair and sat down, "I've always wondered something about you guys."
"What's that?" Kicker asked as he drank from his water bottle.
"What were the Optimus Primes of your universes like?" Lacus proposed. We all stopped what we were doing when she asked this.
"I'll go first then," I began, "The Optimus Prime of mine, Jack and Raf's universe was like a fatherly figure." This piqued everyone's interest. "He would often give us words of wisdom that would help us later on whenever we faced certain problems." I took a sip of water. "Hell," I continued, "He thought everyone had a chance of redemption. I remember one time when the Breakdown from my universe was captured by this terrorist organization called MECH who wanted to dissect him. Almost everyone wanted to just leave Breakdown for scrap, but Optimus wanted to rescue Breakdown."
"So he could get more firepower?" Russel inquired.
"I guess," I replied. "So Breakdown ended up being saved by Bulkhead, and Breakdown got humiliated because he was rescued by an Autobot." Everyone nodded as they listened to my story.
Lacus turned to Kicker, "What about you?" she asked, "What was your Optimus Prime like?"
Kicker's POV
"It's hard for me to explain," I replied, "I never really liked my Optimus growing up and always tried to get away from him whenever I had the chance."
"Why?" Lacus asked.
"I guess it was because I've never really been a big follower of authority and I saw Optimus as some kind of authoritarian figure," I replied. I was about to ask Russell what his Optimus was like when I felt a small vibration from the ground.
"Did anyone-" I began.
"Yeah," Daniel replied, "I felt it too."
"What is it?" Miko inquired.
"Guys," Lacus commented as she looked at her phone. "You need to this….." I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to see a very unusual sight:
Paris, France.
"-The army is still unaware as to what exactly is it that is currently coming out of what was once Mexico City," The woman that was on the TV said. "Hold on, it appears to be a ship of some kind and- wait. it's….transforming?!"
"What is that?" Adrien Agreste asked as he looked at the TV. He looked at Plagg, who was staring at it intensely, something he never did unless it was cheese.
"What is it, Plagg?" The fashion model inquired.
"I don't know…" the Kwami replied, "but something about it seems… familiar.."
Vale, Brazil
"It's transforming into a large dinosaur!" the reporter exclaimed, "I repeat, the ship is transforming into a dinosaur!" She was right. The ship had transformed into a dinosaur that resembled a Brachiosaurus.
"What the heck?!" Roman Torchwick exclaimed as he looked at the television in shock, "that's the biggest robot I've ever seen! And I thought Predaking was big!"
Imagine what riches might be in there Neopolitan motioned as she too watched.
"And how crazy the defense system might be," Roman replied. "Still, I like your thinking Neo."
Tokyo, Japan
"Holy shit!" Ryuji remarked as he and the rest of the Phantom Thieves watched history being written. "Look at the size of that thing!"
"It is rather large," Yusuke commented.
Ren said nothing as he looked on in silence.
New Zealand
"Wow," Gresh whispered as he looked at the viewing screen, "that is one huge fossil."
"Indeed," Mata Nui remarked, "But what intrigues me more is where it comes from."
"What do you mean?" Straak asked, "A giant, transforming, mechanical lizard comes out of the ground and all you can wonder is where it came from?"
Egypt, Africa
What is going on over there? Chara thought as she watched events unfold. First, these alien robots come here to Earth, giving me a run for my money. Then I get kidnapped by these weird guys in masks, now this. She only sighed as her personality shifted back to Frisk.
Isaiah's POV
No sooner did my sisters and me press the buttons, the lights around us brightened up. "Excellent." Dullindel said, "Now all of you die." He fired at us only for a burst of energy to erupt around me and my sisters.
I looked around to see where the burst of energy came from only to see that Alyssa was in her Lightning Sapphire form. Surprised, I looked down to see that I changed back into Optimus Prime and that Alana was in her Super Chicana form.
All around us the room began to change. Panels began to move and shift all around us. Coincidentally, a panel moved in front of us, separating us from Dullindel. All of a sudden, a voice that reminded me of a voice that I heard someone speak in once. "Behemoth heeds the call of the Prime and Children of Mexico."
"Who is that talking?" Alyssa inquired as the platform that we were on began to lift up.
"I think that's Behemoth speaking to us," I replied, looking down as to see what Dullindel's fate was. He was jumping from platform to platform in order to get closer to us.
"Should we be worried?" Alana inquired as we looked at him almost get crushed by a moving gear.
"There's no way he could get up here," Alyssa remarked as we all saw Dullindel press a button on his now tattered suit. "That's not good is it?" She inquired as she looked at me. Dullindel laughed as metal plating formed around his body, forming some kind of Prime like form that reminded me of Zeta Prime…
"Do you like it?" he yelled maniacally, "I made it in case I had to fight a Super Chicano or Prime!"
"Oh shit…" I cursed.
"Get ready for the fight of your lives!" He exclaimed as he charged his weapon….
To be concluded…...
Hooray! I'm not dead yet! I'm sorry for letting you guys wait for so long but I've been really busy with summer school and my little brother just got Persona 5 Royal and it is awesome! I'm also really excited about the new War for Cybertron cartoon that's coming to Netflix!
Next Chapter: Isaiah and his sisters will have to fight for their lives as Behemoth continues to awaken from his long slumber. The remaining Primes will learn that they're not the only ones besides the Decepticons that are searching for the other Primes. We'll also see the appearance of very special characters from the G1 series. See if you can guess who they are.
Till all are one!
