Time: 1245

Inside the building, the female human in armored equipped with a lab coat and no helmet who is named Shaine-D212 or just Shaine Xian was fixing the spacebridge in the back of a warehouse for Autobots in another outpost. It was a difficult task for the small human but it was a little bit challenging for her since she asked either Shockwave or Perceptor for the Spacebridge blueprint.

"Shaine, should've we contact Perceptor for the machine?" A feminine voice spoke to her on the computer.

"He is gonna be busy at the time so he might be got his servo's full, Kira." Shaine takes out the tools to refined the technical skills. "Besides we have this under control and then test our spacebridge to see it worked," she said as she loses her cables to go down and land her feet on the floor gently.

The image of a woman in an Ancient Greek robe appeared in the holographic panel and she uses her hands to control the drones to scan the Spacebridge. And it would seem normal for the maintenance status.

"Well it looks good for the first time you build up this Cybertronian technology and it took approximately..." Kira paused for a moment. "Almost a months and half weeks ago. It was a nightmare to find any useful parts."

"Eh, it was not so bad. We improvise with each other that we look around for the parts," Shaine replied as she typed the codes in the computer to begin the process to activate the spacebridge. Seeing the vortex portal in front of her is doing good in progress... but then there's a spark in the wiring panel that begins to cause the damage. And the computer system is having the malfunctioning in the maintenance status on the screen.

"Uh oh! The spacebridge had error texts on the screen! I-I can't get it to power down!" Kira exclaimed.

"Kira! Transfer yourself into my helmet!" With that, the feminine AI immediately transferred herself into Shaine's neural system of her helmet. The angelic SPARTAN hurried to go take cover under the deck of the flooring compartment before the energy vortex is about to explode throughout the stations and railing platform.

Outside of the building, the heavy noise of the explosion caused the smoke and burning inside the warehouse. The emergency system is active as the sprinklers are clearing up the burning area and even the alarm system.

Back inside the warehouse, Shaine started to cough out the smoke and swinging her hand to clear away from her head. She finally got her throat cleared up some air.

"This is gonna leave the mark," Kira stated.

"I thought I read everything to follow up in the instructions of the Spacebridge," Shaine replied as she got confused with the instruction.

"Huh... I detected the three anomalies in front of the Spacebridge... the broken Spacebridge," Kira responded as the angelic SPARTAN notices the three shadow figures appeared behind the smoke when it finally clears up... it is unexpected to see Knock Out, Megatron, and Starscream has arrived in the warehouse since she thought those two were doing their own business in other areas.

Megatron groaned as he getting up on his pede and he said, "Never in my life have I experienced this sort of issues with Spacebridge," he grumbled.

"Argh! When did the Spacebridge ever burn up on other's frame!" Knock Out looked at himself and he got black stuff all over his frame. "Uh! And I got all those burnt marks all over!"

"Forget about that... where are we?" Starscream inquired as he looks around the area.

"Knock Out? Starscream? And Megatron? When did you bots get here from the Spacebridge? Aren't you three busy with other things?" Shaine asked as the three bots turned and... stare at Shaine strangely with their weird face as it like they never met her before.

"Okay, you three are freaking me out when I notice that look," She says to them as she is about to contact her guardian Nightblade who has an off-duty when she going to visit her sire Megatron who she thought's here. "Nightblade does your father went to the Spacebridge on accident because I found him over here," she responded in the commlink.

Nightblade responded, "What are you talking about? I'm with my sire in Halo Installation 06." Shaine becomes confused so she contacts Autobot Outpost to asked Ratchet about Starscream.

"What? He's just right outside to train the aerial bots," Ratchet responded in commlink as he told her about Starscream.

"... maybe I'll contact-" With Shaine is about to contact her son and Legion. But she hears the vehicle came rush in and drifted around the corner, Legion and Dion came out of the red futuristic Aston Martin before it transformed revealed that... Knock Out?!

"Mom! You okay?" Dion worried about her.

"Were you attacked?!" Legion asked.

"Or... accidents," Knock Out says to them as he sees Starscream, Megatron, and... himself.

Causing Shaine to become shocked by the doppelgänger of Knock Out when she pointed at him and the other Knock Out who stood with the other two mechs.

"Mother of Forerunner! Do my eyes deceive me, Shaine?!" Kira exclaimed that she seeing two Knock Out. One is covered in burnt and the other is... well, read as usual.

"No... I'm seeing double bot in front of me but there's no way that I recreated other sorts of thing," Shaine replied with her AI.

"Um, Knock Out, you didn't tell me about you had a twin brother, right?" Dion asked his guardian friend.

"I don't recall having a split-spark in my lifetime," Knock Out answered in awe with him as he keeps staring at the other self and the other two.

"I don't recall having one either, but by Primus do I look better in that new armor plating with my paint job," Other Knock Out amazed with Knock Out's armor plating.

The child seems to agree with him, "I know, right?! That's what Wolf and my best friend say that when he and auntie Raine had a street race in circuit race track from other days!" Dion said as he agreed with the other Knock Out.

"Wait... Wait! Hold on!" Shaine shouted as everyone pause and stare at her who is walking up to them. "What year is it to you and who did you remember for any bots and people?" she asked the three bots.

"That's easy for your human years, 2017. And who was Nightblade you contact and why do you know about us, human," Alt Starscream inquired as he was curious about Nightblade character... that shocked much more from Shaine.

"Oh my god... you three are not from this world," Shaine said to them.

"Shaine... Can you explain to us besides saying it short explanation?" Knock Out told her.

"And why does the other me getting... melodramatic much and less worrying about my paint job?" Alt Knock Out asked as he doesn't know about himself.

"Technically... you three may have traveled to an alternate reality that we don't exist in your timeline," Shaine described to other bots from other alt-reality. "Because it would seem that I may have recreated the alternate dimensional bridge between our reality and theirs. Like Multiverse."

"That explains why spacebridge was a malfunction in our world since we're on the mission to find our enemy," Alt Megatron grumbled.

"Wow! I wanna know what their timeline is like!" Dion said excitedly. "Oh! Can we explain to them about our reality!"

"Um, Shaine, should we contact Perceptor or Shockwave about this alt dimensional bridge situation?" Kira asked as she appeared on Shaine's shoulder.

"Shockwave?!" Alt Starscream and Alt Knock Out snarled at the small AI who gotten squeak and disappeared.

"Woah there! Let's not get hasty about Shockwave, I don't know what he has done to your world but he's different in ours!" Legion says to those alternative bots.

"Okay, let's not contact Shockwave and Perceptor about this." Knock Out turned to Shaine, "Shaine, can you try to repair the bridge?"

"You do know that's a bad idea to keep this a secret, Red. And I'm not good at keeping my mouth shut," Shaine told him as she notices his stare very silent that he needed to know from her. "But yes, I just need more time to rescan the bridge before I start repairing it."

"Is that means Knock Out and I can give these guys a tour of our reality, right?" Dion asked.

"I... guess it won't hurt since they don't know about the Forerunner and other alien species out of the galaxy are existence in their reality," Shaine replied to him. "Anything happens to our new outworlder, just keep in..." She turned up to alternate bots until the three alternate bots have disappeared who is the only mech remain in the warehouse. "Oh, you gotta be kidding me!" she bawled.


Location: Autobot Desert Outpost - Shield World: Entity

Honeybee and OrionSaber were doing the spar in the training arena to practice with Soundwave while their sire Bumblebee and two minicons had to watch them. To see the results of the fight in the training session.

Seeing the two younglings are working together as a team as they were exhausted and airing up their vent in pipes after they manage to make a way to win against their mentor. "Maybe... I could've listened to you since I try to hit him harder after you go to his back and then try the kick him out," OrionSaber panted.

"Well... the plan worked, right?" Honeybee stated.

"Impressive." Both young bots got jumped and turned around to see the large mech who appeared behind them, even the others include Soundwave are surprised that Alt Megatron came over to see the training session. But Bumblebee, Soundwave, and Ravage notice the difference in the armor.

"Hey, it's grandpa Megatron!" OrionSaber says with his excited tone.

"I beg your pardon?" Alt Megatron inquired with confused looks.

Honeybee seems to notices something different from him as she sees the armor plating and his optics that he didn't know about her and her brother. "I don't think it's Megatron. He looks like he never... met us," she said as Soundwave knew that as well and Bumblebee walked over to them.

"Of course, he met you two. But I didn't expect him to come over so earlier, but anyways would you like to train them when Nightblade is here?" Bumblebee offered him.

"We're here, everyone!" When other bots turned around and suddenly they saw Nightblade has arrived with Megatron who still had his hooded cloak in half of his frame. "So you youngsters finished the session with... Soundwave...?" Nightblade said that she sees Alt Megatron who is standing by her younglings.

Now both bots turned to Megatron and his other self in awe, they were shocked to see two of them!

"By the Rings! There are two Megatrons!" Honeybee remarked.

"Nightblade, what in the Pit of Kaon is going on?" Megatron inquired with Nightblade.

"In all honesty, I am very shocked as you," Nightblade responded.

Suddenly, the warthog just arrived at the outpost and Legion hops off from it. "Hey! You don't happen to find-" Legion said as he stopped himself and sees they already aware of two Megatron. "So want me to call Shaine or coming over to the Tech Lab's warehouse?" The cyborg SPARTAN asked.


(Location: Car Wash Building - Triton City)

The few people in the vehicle are honking at someone in the garage, Raine and Locus arrived at the scene to check out the issues. When Agent Minnesota finally arrived in the streets with his warthog and went over to them since the three didn't wear the armor when there's trouble.

"Reports said that there's a random black vehicle that takes longer for a half-hour. I assume it's Knock Out?" Locus stated.

Raine spoke, "It would be possible, Sam. My sister got the teleporter fixed for the underground bunker for the vehicles and Cybertronian. But it did happen sometimes when other Cybertronian got burnt black stuff on their frame."

"Project Freelancer had that issues with the teleporter for what Lavernius Tucker said," Sota explained. "Aside from the topic, Fowler will be very pissed if civilian sees something strange from the compartment."

"Hey?! Is that a new modified droid from UNSC?!" Both three soldiers in armored overheard one of the people notice something strange. How could Knock Out forgotten about the holomatter avatar equipped until exiled SPARTAN female sighs loudly?

"I'm getting too old for this," Raine muttered as she walked over to go meet him. "Try to distract the people while I'll go meet him."

"I'll see if I can talk with the local workers in their office," Locus said as he walked over to the front door of the car wash building.

"Guess I'll notify the locals that the building is closed for the lunch break," Agent Sota replied that he headed over to go tell the civilians.

Inside the garage, Raine walked in the garage door and sees Alt Knock Out is washing that burnt stuff in his armor plating.

"Those disgusting burnt stuff ruined my paint job!" Raine notices something strange about him as she didn't remember to Knock Out was complaining much about the paint job and she didn't know that Knock Out is back into old armor plating.

"There's no way I remember Knock Out was complaining that much and why's his frame so different?" Raine said in her thoughts.

When the red mech got his frame cleaned up and he turned to see Raine who he thought she was, "Shaine, is it? Maybe you should find the proper scientist from Cybertron," he grumbled.

"Excuse me?" Raine annoyed that her red mech might've forgotten about her and Shaine are twins.

"Your technology skills to build the spacebridge are almost lack. But it's practice for you," Alt Knock Out complimented as Raine notices the first things she discovered.

"You're not Knock Out I know, am I correct?" She asked.

"Yes, and-wait, if you're not her. Then why are you looked like her in that warehouse!"

"That's because I'm her twin sister..." Alt Knock Out would be embarrassed by his mistake that Raine does look resemblance to her sister. "But I'll keep this as a secret from Shaine because I had no argument to agree with you."

"May I asked you about this reality?" Alt Knock Out requested.

"Go right ahead," Raine accepted his request.

"What is wrong with other me, he seems changed since I notice that something disturbed him?" When Raine lowered her head down with sighs and looked up at him.

"Knock Out's past is... complicated for you, but it is difficult for me that I know about him," she responded.

"How difficult for him, I know it might be our late best friend?" Alt Knock Out stated.

"That too... but he lost someone who dearly loves to him since last few centuries ago," she replied. "Even other members of Team Prime and other teams have lost one of best operative, who was named Arcee if I remember correctly when my friend Knock Out told me."

Alt Knock Out becomes devastated when he hears her story about his other self's past. It was a tragedy and feel more sorry for him. "I... I felt sorry for him," he said sadly.

"Listen, this reality isn't your fault. Besides this ain't yours where you belong, Knock Out," Raine reassured him. "He does found the peace of his mind since two years ago he made a new friend who almost resembles Breakdown. Which I'm talking about my nephew Dion."

"I also made a friend as well but she's in another reality. I do wish if you and others would meet her," Alt Knock Out smiled.

Suddenly, Raine got a radio channel from the other outpost as it was from Dion's contract. "Dion?" She responded as she set her fingers into her commlink earpiece.

"Hey, Auntie! We found Starscream from another reality at the Autobot City!" Dion said in the commlink as Raine hears the music in the background.

"Was that music I hear?" Raine asked.

"Yeah! And you may want to bring other me with you because..." Knock Out says in the commlink.

-Meanwhile in Autobot City-

Knock Out is keeping an eye on two Starscreams who are drunk they had High-Grade Energon when dancing on the dance floor. He snickers that he finally got to see two Starscream is dancing.

"Because there are some interesting things you gotta see when we get back," Knock Out couldn't help to make a smile.

"They sure know how to dance! Go, Starscreams!" Dion shouted excitedly.


(Location: Tech Lab's Warehouse)

Shaine had no other choice to contact Shockwave for help with the bridge she sort of created the Alt Reality Spacebridge and what he discovered the issues is the Light Energon Crystal inside the power amplifier. As soon as others came by with three alternate bots who needed the talk with her. For Shaine... she is got much trouble explaining to them. But they moved on and let two scientists repairing the bridge as it took a few minutes to get them finished. They introduced themselves to three outworlders before they leave and they talked about their timeline and other's timeline.

The machine finally activates it to open the Alt Reality Spacebridge when Shaine pulled the lever in the computer panel. "Alright, it should be ready when the coordinates are set to your alternate reality," she said.

"Logically: I manage to fixate the technical issues in the system that disrupts Light Energon's power source," Shockwave explained.

"Which it causes the overload to make a power malfunction," Shaine replied. "It's very highly dangerous for that energy. This is why Forerunner Crystal is important for the travel time and space."

"Is it safe to entered through the bridge?" Nightblade inquired.

"It should be, and hopefully there are no burnt black stuff issues for the bridge," Shaine uncertain about it.

"Well not sure if we see each other in the future... so this will be goodbye or see you again," Raine said.

"Same to you, Raine. If you and your friend want to a street race in our reality, I'll be sure to invite you over," Alt Knock Out smiled.

"Sweet! I can get to watch the race, right?!" Dion smiled loudly as his guardian smile with him.

"I maybe took time off from racing in each year... I should get back on track," Knock Out responded.

Nightblade walked up to Alt Megatron who was helping to escort drunken Alt Starscream. "Can I say to you before you go? Whatever the reason you left Cybertron, I know you can't fix the past for what you have done, but I know there's a chance for you to redeem yourself if you move forward," she says to him. "It takes time to pick the pieces up and put it together for yourself. As I would say 'Honor the fallen warriors who fought, protect your friends and people who are matter to you and keep moving forward to your future.' I made a good inspiration to the people with who I share. So now, I share this with you."

"... I will keep it in my mind, Nightblade. I thank you," Alt Megatron bowed his helm to her, and then he turned to Megatron. "You have a strong youngling, I am sure that your sparkmate would be proud of her."

"She is my sparkling after all," Megatron nodded at him.

"Uh, I don't wanna leave *sic* this reality... The other me and I had a great time at the club..." Alt Starscream muffled drunkenly.

"How'd both Starscreams got drunk in the first place?" Shaine asked.

"I tried to stop them from the human custom contest... the drinking contest, but seeing them two are dancing each other in the tango music before the old 19s music," Knock Out snickering.

"Wait, they dance each other?" Shaine chuckled a bit.

(Like this one scene is from this link: /WTqUAbx9L-g. But ignore the subtitle and them talking, just the dance for what two Starscream did. :p)

Dion put up the video screen of two Starscreams dancing when the tango music playing. This causes everyone to laugh and snickering but gotten impressed by their tango dance.

"I gotta say, they really got some moves," Raine chuckled.

As finally, the three alternate bots returning to their home reality and make their way through the bridge. And Shaine will have to keep the project into the private warehouse and rebuild the Spacebridge... again in next time.

-End-
