In the sky above Monument Valley, all seemed peaceful and quiet - until the sound of a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II with a Desert storm colors of green and black camouflage appeared going at high speed around the tall, pointed rocks that landscaped the valley.
"Yahoo! I'm loving this planet already!" The Jet yelled out as he transformed and his hands grabbed one of the rock points and swag around it before he then transformed back and flew towards a group in the distance. As he flew over them, he received a call from of the cars, "Hey Breakaway! Watch where you going! You could've got us killed!"
"Relax your concern, bro, his moves are awesome!" A voice came over the line as the person in question was a Blue car with red and yellow flames.
"See? Even Hotshot think's my moves are great!" Breakaway added as he flew to the sky and then came back down.
"Well that's because he's the hotheaded show-off sometimes." A female voice came over the line.
"Ah! You wound me Ridy!" Hotshot said pretending to be upset, as he pulled up next to the pink and white race car.
"Don't make me come after ya Blue shot!" The female voice warned as she speed in front of him.
"Why? Afraid that one of these days I may beat you?" Hotshot asked as he tried to get next to her but to no avail.
"Who knew your little bro can still be annoying?" A Green and Yellow Military car, Springer, said as he was next to a red and yellow car with flames, Hot Rod along with a blue car Arcee.
"I get the feeling Springer. Roddy, aren't you supposed to be the old one here?" Arcee asked as they stopped near a cave.
"Well Arcee, it's not easy when you got two immature bots here." Hot rod answered as he transformed in to his robot form, as did the others, with Breakaway joining them.
"It's not that simple to calm them down, but would someone please answer me why are we here?" Springer asked as he crossed his arms.
"This is the cave where the Television show Airwolf was film at!" Hotshot answered as he head in side, "Come on guys!"
"Is he still going on about that Copter I scanned online off what the humans call the internet? How in the Allspark is he getting these things?" Springer asked as the gang headed in side. It annoyed him that every time Hotshot came near him and call him "Airwolf's buddy." Kup and Ultra Magnus, with help from Hot Rod, once had to stop him from chasing that little bot version of what a human would called a toddler down.
"Don't ask me. Knowing earth culture, some people get to showing off big surprises." Hot Rod answered as they headed to the spot where Hot Shot was sitting at.
"Now all we need is for Springer to transform into his third mode right at this spot so I can take a picture of him and we show the others back at HQ!" Hot shot said excitedly as Springer put a hand to his face.
"There's no way I'm going to do that!" he protest while Hot Shot just continued, cause it didn't stop him like it did Hot Rod back when they were young.
"Please? I wanna show Bumblebee what we did here!" Hot Shot explained.
"Alright! I'll do it but only once." Springer said as he move to where Hot shot was was he transformed into the Helicopter and waited there as Hot Shot took the picture and gave a thumbs up as Springer transformed.
"There are we done?" Override asked as she stood near Hot shot.
"NO! There's more places of movies that were filmed here!" Breakaway answered as the rest except for Hot Shot just groaned as they went out.
Let's hope Optimus excuses us when we tell him what we were doing; Hot Rod thought as he suddenly thought about something he was going to ask Optimus about which made him stop - his dad, Fire Winger. It was something he always wondered about - what had happened to him. He wanted to ask Optimus before he left cybertron in the ark with the other Autobots following shortly after.
"Hot Rod, you OK?" a voice asked.
Hot Rod looked at Arcee who was waiting for him outside the cave as the others headed off. The look she had of worry made him feel bad.
"Yeah it's just..." Hot rod tried to explain as Arcee went to close to him so they could both engage in a bond link - something all spark mates share when they were together. Optimus and Elita shared this experience when together as did Ironhide with Chromia.
"It's okay Rod, were both here alone for now." Arcee said in their link as Hot Rod sighed then went to sit down at the wall with Arcee following him.
"It's just that when we came here I wanted to ask Optimus about my... father, and what happened to him, but since the Decepticons are here on Earth, I hardly had time to ask him about it;" Hot Rod explained as Arcee put a hand to his shoulder, and gently squeezed it.
"Don't worry; maybe when the Decepticons are defeated or when we have time, you could asked him." Arcee offered and Hot rod gave a sad smile. They both moved to hug each other as a voice yelled out "Hey you love bots! You coming or not?"
Hot Rod groaned as he putted a hand to his face while Arcee just smirked, they both went outside to meet up with the others.
"OK now that you two are here, we can begin to look for where once were the scenes of movies." Override said.
"She wore the yellow ribbon is at!" Hot Shot answered with excitement as Springer just gave a confused look then asked "Why are we doing this anyway?"
"Because if one of these days we ever want to become movie stars like Hoist almost did, then we need to know our locations!" Breakaway answered as he and Hot Shot both gave a high five. Suddenly a light appeared as the six bots turned around to find the source.
"Anyone seeing where that light is coming from?!" Hot rod yelled as he shield his eyes.
"Looks like it's coming from that hill!" Hot shot answered as he pointed towards the light on the hill.
"Breakaway, fly up and observe. Springer, you back him up. The rest, let's get to that light!" Hot Rod ordered as every bot nodded and transformed.
At the hill the light was still there as five figures fell out of it on the ground. They groaned before the light vanished. Hot Shot noticed them and he pointed towards them when the blinding light stopped. "Hey who are those guy's?"
Arcee shrugged as she began to answer but was cut of by Breakaway "Out-of-this-universe invaders dressed up as humans!"
The others gave really skeptical looks as a sound made from one of the figures got their attention.
"Uh Hot Rod, what are we supposed to do if someone flies from the light and moans a moment later?" Springer asked which made Hot Rod give him look before turning his eyes towards the five people. They heard a groan again as one of the figures partly moved, a female judging by the look with green skin and long red hair.
Miss martian groaned as she put a hand to her head and opened her eyes. "Where am I? Are Connor, and the other's alright?!" Megan thought in panic before she looked around to see her friends. Relief flooded her until she saw the giant robots.
"Wh.. Wh.. Who are you?" Miss Martian stammeringly asked as the six bots stared back at her. One of them said, "See; I told you. People from other dimensions!"
"Not helping, Breakaway;" Hot Rod said as he knelt down and Miss Martian readied herself, only for Hot Rod to say "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong."
This confused Miss martian while Springer just put a hand to his head as Arcee said, "Hot Rod, she doesn't know what you said."
"Thought it could work since it did on others like how Kup did it." Hot rod said before saying to Miss Martian. "Sorry; I'm Hot rod as you heard and she's Arcee. The green and yellow bot is Springer, the other femme is Override, and the two goofs are Breakaway and Hot shot."
"Hey!" Both Hot shot and Breakaway exclaimed as more groans were heard from the YJ team as they woke up to see the giant bots. They got up, ready to attack until Miss Martian said "Stop! They don't want to fight us!"
"You sure about that Miss Martian?" Artemis asked as she aimed one of her bows at Override who had no idea what to do as the others were doing the same thing.
"Trust me they don't. " Miss Martian confirmed which Superboy then pointed to the sky "Then explain that."
Everyone looked up as the Autobots took out their weapons "Decepticons! Dirge, Ramjet, and Thrust by the looks of them!" Springer exclaimed as he took aim with his rifle and fired.
As the shot fired through the air Thrust said "Those autobots know were here! Let's get them!"
"What?! Against six of those bots?" Ramjet asked as the cons dodge the blaster fire.
"They just young bots, perfect for scrap. Lets wing them down!" Dirge countered as the began to fire back at the ground as the superheroes and the autobots dodge.
"Is there anything we can do?" Miss Martian asked as they all toke cover.
"Yeah! Hide or try to find help!" Breakaway answered as he took aim with a sniper rifle and fired a shot but was met by a stare from Kid flash and a pout as always for the team.
"Wait a minute, hide or find help?! Excuse me, we're superheroes from another verse, and just not 5 minutes ago, we were fighting over this orb from Lex Luthor and his group of super bad guys! What danger could these guys give?!" Kid flashed asked.
Hot Shot responded, "You don't know how dangerous these cons are!" as he fired a shot towards Dirge who took the hit at the shoulder.
"Cheap shot, Autobot! Take this!" Dirge yelled as he fired a shot onto the rocks where the Autobots had taken cover. Arcee notice what was happening and exclaimed "Guys watch out!" As she began to shot the rocks. Artemis saw this and began to fire at the rocks with her arrows, blowing them so they can become smaller.
"These con's want to play rough? I can play rougher!" Artemis commented as she took aim towards Ramjet and fired an arrow towards the con's left leg. The trick arrow gave a small shock and as Ramjet felt the shock, he stopped firing and grabbed his leg, "Why, that female! I'm going to turn her into a fired corpse!"
"Not if I got anything to say about it!" Override yelled out as she toke a shot towards Dirge, knocking the con down. Thrust looked around and as he saw both of his fellow cons defeated, he began to panic, "It's no use! Let's get out of here!"
The other two cons agreed and they both transformed and flew off into the sky. The six Autobots stopped and the five heroes relaxed. Hot Shot looked at Artemis and gave a grin. "That was some nice shooting."
"Thanks. Took a lot of practice and looks like those cons are not immune after all." Artemis responded as she flipped her hair, "Now if you excuse us, we've got to go find the others."
"Wait, what others?" Springer asked and Miss Martian began to explain everything - from who the others were to how they got there.
"Sounds like we need to speak to Optimus about this;" Hot Rod said as the others agreed.
This got the heroes confuse "Who's Optimus?" Connor asked.
"He's our leader, a hero to most of us young bots;" Breakaway answered as he and the others transformed and the heroes got in Hot Rod as the Autobots explained everything about themselves in turn.
Meanwhile, at the Decepticon's underwater base, a voice can be heard, "YOU ARE A FOOL, STARSCREAM!"
In the main center of the base, Starscream was down on the ground trying and to back away from the wrathful Megatron. For the full week after the Orb disappeared in Antarctica, Starscream had been facing the Wrath of Megatron for his supposed betrayal when he tried to grab the orb.
"I should offline you or throw you down the deepest lava pit - or maybe turn you into a oversize computer and leave you as a example for those who would try to betray me!" Megatron Yelled out at Starscream, who'd turn his head to look at the other cons for support. Of course, he couldn't find any due to them not wanting to be the focus of Megatron's rage.
"P..P.. Please Lord Megatron! I didn't mean to betray you! I was going to keep the orb save until you defeated Optimus Prime!" Starscream explained trying to defend himself, but judging by the look of Megatron's face, he wasn't buying it.
"Then explain to me of why Soundwave and the others found you not fighting the Autobots?!" Megatron yelled out.
As Starscream tried to stutter, Soundwave came in, "Alert. Alert. An unknown energy source was detected not far from mainland."
This seemed to calm Megatron down as he turned around to face Soundwave, much to the relief of Starscream, who he got up.
"An unknown energy source? Maybe a source to turn the tide against the Autobots!" Megatron said as he turned to the Decepticons and barked out orders. "Decepticons, prepare to move out!"
"Alert. Alert. Unknown beings detected near the source was well;" Soundwave added and Megatron raised a hand as he and the others went to the entrance. "No matter we will deal with those pesky humans, and find the source, and Starscream - don't think you are lucky to be saved by this incursion."
The con in question gave a gulp as the Tower came out of the water and Megatron and the other Decepticons began to fly towards the energy source.
Lex Luthor opened his eyes as he looked around at his surroundings and he spotted the orb. He began to get up to see Joker, Circe, Gorilla Grodd, Slade, and several other villains getting up around him.
"Wow, talk about some headache I got from that bright light show!" Joker said as he looked around "Are we dead?"
"No my clown friend. We are not." Lex Luthor answered as he grinned. How foolish it was to think for the superheroes that they could stopped them with the orb.
"Hmm. Well we might be cause of those robots in the sky." Grodd said as he pointed to the sky.
The other's followed his look and they saw giant robots with some sort of purple symbol on them descending.
As the Decepticons landed, they pointed their guns at the villains, causing several of them to aim their own weapons back, but Luthor shot a look towards Megatron who said, "You creatures are in my way towards an unknown energy source. Back down if you wish to live."
Luthor raised an eyebrow as he put his arms behind his back and said, "Oh, I'm sorry Mr... um... What's your name?"
"The name is Lord Megatron - Leader of the Decepticons, Conquer of Planet's and right now a threat to any humans or creatures who will stop me from achieving my goal for power which lays within an orb that somehow come back here!" Megatron answered as he pointed to the orb where Circe was. Luthor thought up an idea.
"Why, Lord Megatron, the reason the orb came back was because it wants us both together to use its power to conquer both my Earth and your Earth;" Luthor answered smoothly, which caused the villains to look at him like he had lost his mind. The cons looked at each other.
"Some sort of trick, my liege." Barricade said, who had just arrived to earth about 3 days ago and had taken the form of a police car mustang.
He looked at Luthor distrustfully.
"Yeah he looks like he can lie!" Rumble added and he aimed his blaster at Luthor. Luthor shook his head as he walked towards Megatron.
"On the contrary, my dear Decepticon friends. I Have the same goals as you leader here. Total Earth domination, which I would have if not for that oversize boy scout and his friends - The Justice League." Luthor answered with hints of venom in his voice as Megatron gave thought to him.
"You refer to the Justice League as if their like the autobots!" Megatron pointed out and Grodd nodded.
"That is correct, oh mighty one. Those super heroes interrupt a lot of our plans all the time! But with your help and the orb! We may be able to defeat those Heroes and those Autobots you mentioned." Grodd added.
Megatron gave a thought to it all a moment longer and he then agreed. "Very well then we have a deal. Consider this an alliance to rid us of our mortal enemies."
Luthor grinned as he put out a hand as Megatron put out his index finger to shake hands on the deal. "Superman better wish he wasn't born." Luthor thought evilly as they both went towards the orb.
