Jackie was riding Mach along the beach while the twins were checking the docks.
"Why are we doing this again?" First Aid asked.
"Everyone's looking for a ghost ship," Jackie said. "But I don't think we'll see anything other than an optical illusion."
"Wow, you don't believe in it?" T.J. asked.
"I'm skeptic until no other explanation can be found."
"I'm going to ask Cody about this legend," First Aid said.
Xxx
Meanwhile in the firehouse…
"I don't see any trouble spots," Cody said to his dad. "Everyone's just… looking."
"Not much need for crowd control, then," Chief Burns said. "Let's head home, everyone."
Xxx
The team arrived back at the firehouse.
The bots let their humans out before transforming back to their bipedal forms.
"Is Dani here, yet? She's taking me back out with her," Cody said.
"She'll be here in a minute or two," Jackie said as she filled up a rubber bucked with water for Mach to drink.
"Someone wanna tell me why looking for a ship off our coast has this whole town mesmerized?" Heatwave asked.
"Yeah, I'm curious, too," First Aid said.
"Nobody's told you the legend yet?" Cody asked.
"I tuned them out," Jackie said.
"Oh, we figured Dani was the best one to fill them in," Chief said. "Right, boys?"
"Oh, yeah. She's the 'shipper' in the family," Kade joked.
"'Shipper'?" Boulder asked.
"I'll show you a video explaining it later," Jackie said. "It's kinda about—wait, are you talking about something else?"
"Well, what they're talking about is probably the subculture of ghost hunters who look for ghost ships and get excited when they see one or think they see one," First Aid guessed.
Everyone looked at him.
"What? I did a lot of supernatural/paranormal research when I was off duty."
"A bit romantic. Emotional," Jackie said.
"Are we talking about the same Dani who took first place in recent burping tournament?" Chase asked.
"Girl didn't even train," Kade grumbled.
"By the way, Kade, you still owe me $50 for coming in second," Jackie said.
The guys started to enter the elevator.
"Hold the elevator!" Dani said as she and Blades got home. "Forgot my camera! Coming guys?"
"Yeah," Cody said, "but the bots want to ask you about—"
"Later. Up, up, up!" Dani pressed a button as the doors closed behind her.
"Someone please talk some sense into Dani. She's acting very—very…" Blades struggled to find the word.
"Level 100 fangirl?" Jackie suggested.
"Yes! She wants to hover over the ocean for hours hoping to spot the ship everyone's looking for."
"It'll be fun, Blades. And we can meet up with Doc and Frankie. They're out there, too," Cody said.
"And we might see some whale or dolphins," Jackie said.
"Okay, whales and dolphins sound fun," Blades said.
"Are you coming down or not?" Chroma asked. "'Once Upon a Time' isn't going to binge watch itself."
"Blades gasped. "You're watching it WITH OUT me?!"
"Chroma couldn't wait, and with her mood switching every half hour, she scares me," Chase said.
"And you should be," Heatwave teased.
Dani slid down the firepole with her camera. "Okay, let's get going."
"Um, looks like Blades is on strike," Cody said.
"At least until someone explains why seeing this ship is worth frosting up my windows," Blades said.
"Everybody seems to know but us," Boulder said.
"We're told you are the authority on the matter," Chase said.
"I personally don't care," First Aid said.
"Yeah, no ship is worth all this fuss," Heatwave said.
Dani scoffed. "It's only the most tragically romantic story of the century. Okay, real quick." Dani turned on a screen to help illustrate the story. "It's the S.S. Phantom Voyager. An ocean liner that was left adrift in 1915 after a lightning strike disabled the engines. Everyone got off except the captain, Ansel Ambrose. He remained on board until help could arrive, but then without warning, the ship mysteriously vanished. And on this night every 10 years, the Phantom reappears somewhere off the west side of the island."
"I could've told you that from Wikipedia," Jackie said.
"The only thing worse than waiting in the cold to see that ship would be seeing that ship," Blades said.
"Blades, most people who see the supernatural see it because they want to see it. It's just their imagination," First Aid said.
"Tell them about the Griffin Rock connection," Cody said.
The emergency alarm went off.
"You'll have to finish story time later. Vehicle modes!" Heatwave ordered.
The bots transformed as the humans ran out of the elevator.
"Doc and Frankie think they spotted the Phantom," Chief said.
"And they've received and S.O.S.," Kade said.
Dani was so excited that she began to make monkey noises.
"Just get your camera and let's roll out," Jackie said as she covered her ears.
Xxx
"Cody, somebody is on board. Where are you guys?" Frankie asked.
"Almost there, Frankie," Cody said as the team boated in the Darby Ava.
"Are you sure you saw something? It wasn't your imagination?" Jackie asked.
"I still don't see it," Dani whined.
"Relax, Dani. It's probably just dome freighter," Kade said.
"Yeah, I mean, look at all this fog!" Jackie threw her arms up.
"It's probably ALWAYS just some freighter," Graham said.
"One can only hope," Blades whimpered.
"Hey, Brains, can you see if there are any cargo ships in the area?" First Aid commed.
"Sure thing, 'Aid," Brains said.
"Who knows? Plenty of witnesses claim they've seen the Phantom, but sometimes people see what they want to see," Chief said.
"Kinda like when I was little and thought the lights on airplanes were UFO's," Jackie said.
"Well, in the case of Blades, you weren't wrong," First Aid joked.
"Real funny," Blades deadpanned.
"So what's this connection to our island you were talking about?" Heatwave asked.
"Captain Ambrose was supposed to get married to a girl from Griffin Rock," Cody said.
Dani sighed. "Lillian waited for him. Every 10 years, she would see the ship appear. Just for a few moments."
"What a horrible story," Chase said.
"Still better than Twilight," Jackie said. "Oh! The ship's fricking REAL?!"
The fog disappeared enough to see the ship.
"Hurry! It could disappear any minute!" Frankie said.
"That's no freighter," Graham said.
"Nope," Kade said.
"I knew it," Dani whispered.
"Noble. Nice work Frankie," Cody said.
"Uh, T.J.? Are you okay?" Raychel asked.
"If you're gonna spew, do it over the side of the boat," Jackie said.
"I-I'm good. Just need a sea-sickness pill," T.J. took the medicine.
First aid scanned the ship. "Guys, my scanners can't get through the hull. I can't verify any signs of life."
"I've waited my whole life to see this!" Frankie said.
"And you've never been good at waiting," Cody said.
"Chief, there's still an S.O.S.," Doc said.
"Blades, Dani, do a flyover," Chief ordered.
"Okay, seriously, can we just get another flying Rescue Bot?" Blades asked.
"You know that won't be easy, right?" First Aid said.
"And, Dani is giving you the 'I will murder you' face," Jackie said.
Blades whimpered when he saw the murderous fire in his partner's eyes.
"I can be another set of eyes," Cody said to his dad.
"Well, alright. But stay in the air, Dani," Chief said. "Don't take any chances."
Blades let the humans into his cabin.
"Anyone else got a weird gut feeling?" Jackie asked.
"Please don't say stuff like that," Blades said as he transformed and took off.
"Han Solo or tummy ache?" Kade asked.
"Both?" Jackie said.
"We're hovering over the deck, but no sign of anyone," Dani said.
"This ship still looks brand new," Cody said.
"Wait. There's movement."
"Someone threw a rope at us!"
"I'm snagged! I can't—" Blades got cut off by something.
"Okay, so my gut feeling was Han Solo," Jackie said. She went a bit dragon. "Let's get ready to rescue."
Chief drove the Darby Ava to the side of the Phantom. "Get up there, fast!"
"Come on, move it!" Kade said.
"Let's go!" Graham said.
"T.J., you stay here!" Raychel said as she climbed into Chase.
"Alright, Jackie, dragon up and climb on!" First Aid said.
Jackie went to a dragon half the size of the bot and climbed onto his back.
The four bots used their grappling hooks to board the ship.
"Dani, do you read?" Chief asked. "Cody!"
Xxx
The bots were on some sort of recreation area portion of the deck.
Jackie went to her mostly human state and ran to the bow of the ship. "They're over here!"
They ran over to find a life buoy around one of Blades' landing struts.
Jackie started to use her new hunting knife to cut the rope.
"Get off the ship, now!" Chief ordered.
"We have to get out of here," Blades pleaded.
"Almost done," Dani said as she removed the buoy.
"Where's your attacker?" Heatwave asked.
"We don't know. We couldn't really see," Cody said.
"It has to be captain Ambrose," Dani said.
"Except that would be impossible," Kade said.
"So is standing on the Phantom, but here we are."
"Less talking, more escaping!" Raychel said.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PURPLUE GLOW?!" Jackie screamed.
"Every bot for himself!" First Aid ran to the side of the ship.
Xxx
T.J.'s, Chief's, Doc's, and Frankie's jaws all dropped when the Phantom Voyager disappeared with a purple glow.
"Oh, no," Chief said.
"SIS!" T.J. screamed.
Xxx
Chroma's hands flew to her mouth. "Ch-Chase?"
"They. Did. Not," K-9 said with wide eyes. "We gotta tell Ratchet!"
Chroma sat down. "I-I can't believe it… I-I failed again."
Xxx
"Somebody pull us up!" Red Alert screamed as he hung over the side of the ship.
Heatwave ran over and pulled the medic back on deck.
"What happened to the fog?" Boulder asked.
"And the ocean?! And everything else?!" Blades exclaimed.
"Where'd everything go?" Cody asked.
"Where did we go?" Graham asked.
"First Aid saw this on an episode of The Twilight Zone! We're in another dimension!" Red Alert screamed.
"Red Alert, calm down! This isn't The Twilight Zone. This is reality," Heatwave said. "It's true we don't know where we are, but you freaking out isn't helping. Can you let First Aid help us?"
Red Alert squeezed his optics. "I'll try. Though, it probably won't be easy."
"That isn't how D.I.D. works, guys. At least, I don't think so," Jackie said.
"If the pattern remains unchanged, I believe I know when we'll return," Chase said.
"You mean…" Kade trailed.
"In 10 years?" Cody asked.
"We can fix this, right?" Boulder asked.
"There's gotta be a logical explanation for this, right?" Jackie asked.
"I was just thinking the same thing, Jackie," Graham said.
"Maybe whoever snagged us knows the answer," Cody said.
"Then we search this tub, top to bottom," Heatwave said.
"Then we'll take the top," Kade said.
"You guys will only fit in the service floors below. Take the freight elevator, it's portside," Dani said.
Heatwave nodded and the bots went portside, although, Red Alert went the wrong way before following the others.
"Who knows their phantom trivia?" Dani singsonged before squealing.
"God, that's annoying," Jackie said as she rolled her eyes.
Blades thought he saw something. "Did anyone else see that?"
"I thought I heard something!" Jackie called to him. "Animal instincts."
"Come on, wimpy!" Red Alert snapped.
"Ugh! Just what we need: a violent, psychotic alter that is you," Heatwave said to Red Alert as Blades caught up to them.
Xxx
Four out of five of the bots exited the freighter elevator.
Heatwave turned around. "Blades?"
"You coming or not?" Red Alert asked.
"When you four are running for your lives, you'll need someone holding the elevator," Blades said.
"And if we happen to be chasing the ghost of Captain Ambrose?" Chase asked as the bots continued down the hall.
"Right. Safety in numbers," Blades ran after them.
"Wait, is this an axe?" Red Alert said as he took the object off the wall.
"Give me that, American Psycho," Heatwave took the axe from him and put it in his subspace.
(A/N: am I the only one who noticed it?)
Xxx
"The dining hall should be right…," Dani said as the humans turned the corner. "Here. Oh, amazing, isn't it? Just like the old pictures!"
"There's still food in here," Kade said.
"Captain Ambrose were preparing for dinner when the lightning struck."
Jackie grabbed a serving bowl of scalloped potatoes. "This stuff is still warm!"
"And it smells good, too," Graham said.
"Oh-ho-ho, it sure does," Kade said as he ate some of the food.
Jackie grabbed a spoon and ate some of the potatoes. "Mm! I love how it just melts in your mouth!"
"You two are disgusting!" Raychel exclaimed.
"What?" Kade asked.
"That food is over a hundred years old," Cody said.
"Still tastes better than Dani's cooking."
Dani glared at him.
"He probably isn't wrong," Raychel said.
Jackie suddenly turned her head at a strange noise. "Ulp! You guys hear that?"
The humans walked to the other dining hall entrance.
"Captain Ambrose? Is that you?" Dani asked.
The boys immediately backed up.
"Let me guess, protecting the rear?" Dani joked to her brothers.
"Yes," Kade said.
"It's the least we could do," Cody said.
"We're here for you, Dani," Graham said.
Grow some gonads," Jackie said as she rolled her eyes.
"Come with us, our knights in shining armor," Raychel teased.
Xxx
Heatwave opened the doors to the ship's storage compartment.
"This search may take a while," Chase said.
"Spilt up. We hit every aisle," Heatwave said as he turned on his lights. "Red Alert, I want you to stay by me. I don't want you hurting anyone. Mostly Blades."
"Mostly me?!" Blades exclaimed. "And also, have you learned nothing from scary movies?"
"Yeah, that's why Red's with me."
Red Alert played the Psycho theme on his stereo.
"Okay! Point taken!" Blades said as hey split up.
The bots investigated the spooky setting.
Xxx
"Nothing here! Can't see anything!" Blades said.
"You can calm down? Right?" Red Alert asked.
Xxx
Boulder looked at what was causing a purple glow from inside a crate. "Fasinating."
Xxx
"Done! What's taking you so—" Blades then screamed like a little girl when he saw a human standing when there shouldn't be any down there. "G-g-g-ghost!"
"Is it Ambrose?" Boulder asked.
"Please provide a full description," Chase said.
"Did you just scream like a little girl?" Red Alert asked.
"I don't see anything," Heatwave said.
"It—I—there- not. AHH!" Blades screamed and pointed down the hall.
"Are you going to pass out?" Red Alert asked.
"Guys, this way! Red, help Blades if he faints," Heatwave said.
They ran in the direction Blades pointed and entered a room.
"Dead end!" Boulder said.
"Looks like the front of—" Red Alert was cut off when the door closed behind them.
"Apparently because it is a trap," Chase said.
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"Language!"
Xxx
As the humans continued their investigation, they heard waltz music.
"Is that music from beyond?" Graham asked.
"If we find ghosts waltzing, I'm jumping overboard," Kade said.
"Or, it could just be a phonograph. And I think we should be more worried about what caused the boat to rock," Jackie said.
"Well, only one way to find out," Raychel said as they ran into the main hall.
They did find a phonograph.
"Told you," Jackie stood up a bit straighter. "You guys think we should turn it off?"
"Well, duh!" Kade said.
They walked down the stairs when someone walked by the phonograph: Captain Ambrose.
"It's him," Kade cowered behind his sister.
"Um, hi," Raychel waved 'hello'mbrose lifted the needle off the record.
"I've waylaid your iron men in the hold. Therefore, your attempt to take over my ship as failed," Ambrose said.
"What?" Graham asked.
"We don't want your stinkin' ghostship," Kade said.
"Some 'thank you'," Jackie rolled her eyes.
"Captain Ambrose, we're rescuers," Dani said. "W-we heard a distress call, and—"
"What country sent you? Who builds machines that talk like people and aircraft that fly without wings?" Ambrose asked with authority.
"Um, sir? Think you can calm down a little bit? You're scaring our friend," Raychel said as Jackie struggled not to go dragon.
"We're from Griffin Rock" Cody said.
"Impossible. My beloved lives there. Nothing like that exists there," Ambrose said.
"A lot has changed. You and this ship have been lost at sea for a century," Dani said.
"Evacuations were a day ago. I await the towing barges," Ambrose crossed his arms.
"The barges came. The S.S. Phantom was nowhere to be found," Cody said.
"No. no, I've seen Griffin Rock in the distance yonder. It appears through the fog, every hour."
"The sketchy purple fog?" Jackie asked. "Because I'm pretty sure we were transported to another realm."
"Each time we see the Phantom from the island, 10 whole years have gone by," Graham said.
The purple glow returned.
"The glow is back!" Jackie yelled.
"I hear the ocean. We're back!" Cody said after the glow disappeared.
Xxx
"Red! Red! Red! Red!" Blades chanted as Red Alert opened the door with his EMPs.
"You can do it!" Boulder said.
The door exploded open and the bots ran out.
"Finally!" Red Alert said.
Xxx
The humans ran to the deck.
"There," Ambrose pointed. "Griffin Rock."
"Something feels off," Raychel said.
The bots soon joined them.
Heatwave growled and Red Alert activated his EMPs
"Let us at 'im!" Red Alert said.
"No, wait!" Cody said.
"This guy locked us up in the cargo hold," Heatwave said.
"It's Captain Ambrose. He's just confused."
"Ambrose?"
"He doesn't look like a ghost," Boulder said.
"He isn't," Dani said.
"Then, shouldn't he be, like, really old?" Blades asked.
"Whatever. Can I kill him?" Red Alert asked.
"No!" Heatwave said.
"Somehow 10 years out there is only an hour on this ship," Graham said.
"Hey, Jackie, I think this our first time-travel experience," Raychel said.
"Oh, great," Jackie groaned and rolled her eyes.
"But, we have been here an hour," Chase said.
"That would mean…" Boulder trailed.
"No way. It can't be," Heatwave said.
The ship then crashed into the ferry and the passengers began calling out for help.
An emergency helicopter appeared and shone a light on the humans and bots.
"Is that who I think it is?" Red Aler asked when he saw the helicopter's occupants.
"Oh, my…" Doc said.
"I don't believe it," Chief said.
"Dad?" Cody asked.
"Kids, it's really you."
"Astonishing," Doc said.
"They haven't aged a day," a grown-up Frankie said.
"We're gonna have to save the family reunion for later. That ferry's going down," Chief said.
"You heard the chief. Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue," Heatwave said.
The bots let their respected humans in their cabs while Red Alert put Jackie on his shoulder.
"Captain Ambrose, are you okay?" Jackie asked.
"This really is the future?" Ambrose asked.
"Yes. And this is what we do. Hop in," Dani offered as she walked to Blades.
Ambrose got into Blades' cabin with Dani.
Heatwave dove into the water and transformed into his boat mode to transport overboard ferry passengers back to the ferry, which Blades stabilized while Red Alert used his EMP's to plug the hole.
Chase and Boulder assisted Heatwave by picking up humans and hopping from crate to crate to the ferry.
Jackie used her transmutate abilities to assure no sea creatures interfered.
Kade threw a foam disk on the ferry to help Red Alert plug the hole.
Chief got people out of the ocean.
Jackie then heard loud footsteps and turned her head. "Um, guys? GIANT ROBOT!" she squealed.
"Right in my—DEFENSOR?!" Red Alert went away, and First Aid returned when he saw his former combiner team wading through the water with a new left arm component.
Defensor moved to the debris and picked it up and took it to shore before towing the ferry and all it's passengers to the island.
Ambrose looked sadly at Griffin Rock and the picture of his fiancé.
"If it helps at all, Lillian never forgot you," Dani said.
Once they were done, the adult Frankie landed the helicopter on the deck of the Phantom.
Chief got out and hugged Cody. "It's been a long 10 years."
Dani hugged Chief. "Oh, Dad."
"D-Defensor! Wh-who's the new component?" First Aid asked.
Defensor's left arm detatched from their body and Defensor held the member.
"Long time, no see!" Chroma waved.
Cody walked over to Frankie, who took off her helmet.
"Frankie. You got… big," he said.
"It just… happened. You were right, Cody. I've never been good at waiting," Frankie said. "I missed you. I had to grow up without my best friend." They hugged.
Raychel tried to text her brother.
"Sis! Over here!" T.J. called from the Darby Ava as he drove the small boat alongside the big ocean liner.
The two began to catch up.
Jackie just stood silently in shock as her brain finally processed that they time traveled for real.
"Sorry we weren't there for you, Chief," Heatwave said.
"Feels like we've abandoned our post," Boulder said.
"I trust you found… suitable replacement vehicles," Chase said.
"Like hell that would happen!" T.J. said as First Aid used his EMPs to bring him aboard the ship. "Sure, the Protectobots immediately came back to help, but everyone missed you."
"There's NO replacing you guys," Chief said.
"Although we could've gone without Ratchet and Inferno's weekly arguments."
"Dad?" Dani walked up to Chief with Ambrose. "This is Captain Ambrose."
"And good news, he's not a ghost," Blades said.
"Obviously!" First Aid said.
"Mr. Burns," Ambrose shook Chief's hand. "I wish I had some answers."
"Fortunately, we do, from the dada Doc collected 10 years ago," Chief said.
"The energy pattern emitted by this ship is the same found in the old time machine that used to be under my lab," Doc said.
"Time machine," Kade groaned.
"That could be what I saw down in the hold," Boulder said.
"Somebody must've been transporting one on the Phantom," Graham said.
Doc's timer beeped. "One minute left. We need to go."
"Come home. It'll be an adjustment, but at least we'll all be together," Chief said.
"Dad, if a time machine did this, the we can reverse it," Cody said.
"And return to where we started," Dani said. "Where we all started."
"Let us try Dad. Please?"
Chief put his hand on his son's shoulder. "All right."
"I'll be back," Cody said to Frankie as she and their parents got in the helicopter and First Aid put T.J. back on the Ava.
Both vehicles got away from the ocean liner as it went back into the weird dimension.
Xxx
Boulder opened the mystery crate.
"That's a time machine, all right," Graham said.
"It belonged to a passenger named Dr. Thaddeus Morocco," Ambrose read from the passenger manifest.
Now this makes sense," Kade said.
"You know of him?"
"Too well," Dani said as First Aid shuttered. "For one, he built a time machine on Griffin Rock."
"Kade, you owe me $100!" Jackie said.
"Okay, but what made this one malfunction?" Heatwave asked.
"Duh, weather messes with tech all the time."
"Perhaps it was the lightning strike that hit the Phantom," Chase said.
"I think you're both right. And the jolt froze up the controls, too," Graham said as he examined the machine.
"So, the machine is stuck on a setting that makes it skip ahead 10 years at a time," Dani said.
"But why does it feel like only an hour to us?" Blades asked.
"Because of the damage to the machine. On this ship we're zipping through time, stopping briefly every 10 years…" Boulder said.
"But outside, time is passing normally," Graham said.
"Uh, yeah, has there been a solution mentioned anywhere? Or should I go back to not listing?" Kade asked.
"And are we in a different dimension? I think we are," Jackie said.
"I think we might be," Raychel told her. "We can talk about it later."
"A power boost. That's how we got the old time machine in the lab to work," Cody said.
"I think my EM's can work," First Aid said as he activated them.
"We used energon originally," Heatwave said.
"Still have an emergency supply?' Boulder asked Blades.
"Not very much. I knew I should have restocked," Blades said as he got out the energon.
"I think I can add to that," First Aid got out a container filled with green fluid from his subspace. "It works best on non-sentient machines and has a longer life."
"I'll mix these two together," Boulder took both containers and began to put their contents in one with a larger volume.
"Chase, vehicle mode please. I'm gonna get some jumper cables," Raychel said.
Chase transformed and she got the cables from the trunk, and the attached one end from each to First Aid's EM's and the others to the machine.
Boulder inserted the energon. "Give it some juice."
First Aid let out a jolt, powering the machine.
"More purple," Jackie said.
"That's good, right?" Kade asked.
"That means the power's stabilized," Boulder said.
Graham turned a knob. "And the controls are working. Now we turn the dial back to the previous 10-year mark. Ready everyone?"
"Um, fuck yeah!" Jackie put her hands on her hips, her language causing Ambrose to gasp.
"Yeah, she gets like that, sometimes," Kade said.
"Here we go," Graham pulled the lever.
Xxx
Everyone ran up to the deck.
"The ocean! We're back," Cody said as Jackie went dragon and flew off.
"LORD, HAVE MERCY!" Ambrose exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah, she does that, too," Raychel said.
"Kids, are you there?" Chief commed.
"Sis!" T.J. shouted.
Everyone was happy to be back in the right time.
"Captain, turn the dial 10 more notches back. I can't promise anything, but that should take you back home," Graham said.
"My Lillian is waiting for me. And that's worth any risk," Ambrose said.
"Uh, Captain? Might not want to tell anyone what really happened. Not sure they'd believe you, anyway," Cody said.
"Agreed, young man. But it is nice to know that the future is in such good hands. Now go, and thank you."
"Blades, I'll take the second trip back on the Ava," First Aid said.
"Good idea," Blades said after they got their humans in their cabs. He took his team to the Ava.
"Hey, Ambrose."
Ambrose turned around. "What is it?"
First Aid handed him a small cube from his subspace. "An external subspace. It'll hide the time machine. And it has a hologram creator in it. Humans love a good mystery." He gave him a wink before grabbing Blades' winch and joining his team.
The ship disappeared again.
"Hey, Frankie," Cody said.
"'Hey, Frankie'? What happened?" Frankie asked.
"What did you find?" T.J. asked as he hugged his sister.
"Why don't we explain over dinner," Raychel said.
"Yeah, I'm starving," Kade said.
"You're always hungry," First Aid said.
Xxx
First Aid and Heatwave were walking to the Best Left Forgotten shelves.
"What is it you want to show me?" Heatwave asked.
"Well, other than escape from the belching contest, something from Ambrose," First Aid said.
"What do you mean?"
"Over here," First Aid led him to the external subspace and opened it.
"The time machine?!"
"And energon. My dad would kill me if I lost the SynthEn he gave me."
"Why?!"
"Did we suddenly forget about the 'ghost ship'? No. I gave him a hologram to keep the story going."
"Ugh!" Heatwave facepalmed. "We're gonna gave to talk to Optimus."
