Zen's POV
It has been a few days since the Meltdown incident. My shoulder has been healing up slowly but, there will be a scar left there for sure. Lately I have been hanging with the bots a lot more often then normal. My parents trust them so they don't mind at all. Today was a day where Mr. Sumdac was showing us the new creation he made for the new opening of 'Dino-Drive'.
Sari and I were waiting for the bots at the entance. I had seen them drive up to us and waved in greeting to them. "Hey guys, I hope you're ready for the dino tour." I told them with a smile, then Sari welcomed the bots as well.
"Welcome to Dino-Drive guys. You wanna learn about Earths History this is the place." She said with a smile and held her hand up towards the entrance. Then Bulkhead came barreling into the parking lot, running over a lot and I mean A LOT of cars. I flinched seeing this. Ooo, dang I hate to be the person who owns those cars. I thought to myself as I watched him near us.
"Oops sorry, my bad. You can buff that out." I had heard the big guy say as he continued to hit all the cars. "Sorry I'm late guys." I just shook my head at him, while all I heard was the car alarms of all the broken cars. "Did I miss anything?" he had asked us. I looked to him with a wtf face.
"Dude I don't think there was anything you DIDN'T MISS!" I said pointing to the cars then facepalming trying to calm down. Bumblebee agreed with me.
"No, I think you hit just about every car in the lot." He had his doors open for Sari and I to get in which we did. Sari had taken the drivers seat while I took the passenger. The gate had opened which was a giant T-Rex head that lifted up half of its face which was the top teeth and up part of the head. We drove into the Dino-Drive and stopped at the Brachiosaurus. Sari and I had gotten out of Bee so he could transform with the others. I took my sketchpad out and started to sketch the different dino's around us as Sari's tutor bot was talking about the Dino's.
"As you see, many of the animals replicated here are from the Jurassic Era which means, they are over 200 million years old. " The Tutor bot said, I heard Ratchet comment on the bots words.
"We've been around over 10 billion years." I had looked over at Ratchet wanting to say something about that but thought not to.I don't need an angry medic on my hands right now. I thought to myself as I continued to sketch. Not paying attention to the tutor bot any the others anymore. This happens a lot when I am drawing and trying to get every detail I see into the picture.
The one thing to catch my attention was when the Brachiosaurus had lifted its head infront of me. I looked up amazed and smiled big. "So coool!" I said and the others looked at me but then had their attention back to the dinosaur. "Your dinosaur's were pretty big, for an organic life-form." Optimus had said with surprise in his tone. "True but they were not known for their intellect, a dinosuar would be no mental match for a XL-4 processor like mine." The Tutor-bot said making me laugh to myself. "Yeah but its natural instinct verses your tiny metal body." The others looked at me, until we heard Bulkhead run and the pterodactyl screeching.
"Oo, can this one fly?" Bulkhead asked as he shook the tree the fly dino was perched on. I yelled to Bulkhead. "NO BULKHEAD STOP OR YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT-!" I was to late as the dino came falling off the branch and beheaded a triceratops, and making its head hit the t-red in the stomach having it fall over in the process. The t-rex was moving backwards towards us, the bots had moved while Bee grabbed me and Sari out of the way. The t-rex fell on the tutor-bot and had exploded on the top half of its body. The tutor-bots head went flying and landed infront of Bulkhead who looked at it in shock. "Oops." He said as we all looked at him. I was standing next to be now and had facepalmed again.
Next Day
It was the next day after the Dino-Drive. I had just entered the HQ where I saw Prowl and Bulkhead in the main room doing something. Bulkhead was moving around crashing into things and just broke a window. I had parked my bike far away so it wouldn't get smashed by the big teddy bear. I walked over to them hearing Prowl talk to Bulkhead, while Bulk's servo was infront of Prowls face. "No, you must move like a gentle wind, observe." Prowl said moving swiftly doing some moves I guess Bulk was attempting to do. Bulkhead pointed to himself and Prowl nodded his head at him. Bulkhead tried doing the same moves as I walked up to them.
"What in the name of All-Spark are you guys doing?" I asked Prowl looking up at him.
"I am trying to teach Bulkhead how to be graceful and move swiftly." He said in return, I looked to him then to Bulkhead crossing my arms. Isn't that kinda hard for someone like him.. Not cause of his size..Okay maybe alittle but I mean he is a wrecker not a ninja. I thought to myself as Bee came up to us.
"Like the wind, you would be lucky to get him down to an omega class solar storm." I looked at Bee confused but knowing that wasn't nice I shook my head at him. Bulkhead kept moving around and said like the wind, and he ran into an oil barrel tripping over it starting to fall. My eyes widen and I yelled, "SCRAP, RUN!" Bumblebee and I ran as Prowl stood there getting toppled upon by Bulkhead. I looked over and flinched, then I ran over to Prowl and Bulkhead. I shook Prowl seeing he was unconscious. "Prowl, hey Ninja-Bot wake up!" Ratchet and Prime heard me when I yelled to run and came in seeing what the problem was. They saw Bumblebee, Bulkhead and I near the unconscious ninja and came over looming over him. Then Prowl started to come back online, seeing all of us staring down at him. "You okay there Prowl?" I asked him worried.
"Nice Prowl, maybe next you can teach an engine block to float." Ratchet said to Prowl as they all backed up a bit. I looked to Ratchet with a stern look. "Thats not nice Ratchet, he was just trying to help Bulkhead. That's what friends do, ya grumpy old tin-can." I told him and he glared back.
"What did you say?!" He got mad at me and I just had a stare down with him until Prime told us to stop.
Later that day
It had become near sunset and I had gone with Prowl and Bulkhead to an Island away from the city to help Bulkhead with his training. Even though I don't know anything about ninja stuff, I could help fix them up a bit if they get hurt.. Mainly Prowl getting squished again by Bulkhead. I was looking around as they talked, I had my camera in my hand's taking pictures of the nature around us. You never really get to see just plain all nature while living in the city so I tried getting pictures while I could.
"This island will be the ideal place to train you. Quiet, peaceful and nothing around for you to damage." Prowl had said while looking out at lake Erie towards the city of Detroit. He had turned towards Bulkhead and I.
I looked at Prowl with a look, "What about me huh?" I said to him.
"You asked to come here, and you're smart enough to move and there is enough room where you can be far away from when he does training." He told me back. I nodded at him closing my eyes and shrugging.
"Yeah you're right." I said in return while turning back continuing taking pictures of the scenery. Prowl walked up to Bulkhead but was at least a good 50 feet away from him.
"Watch and learn. Assess the situation, choose your move and execute with graceful precision. Now you try." Prowl had cut come falling leaves in half in one move and told Bulkhead to try doing the same thing. I looked over to watch Bulkhead try and do the same thing. Bulkhead had repeated Prowl's words and tried to cut the leaves, but instead just moved them around in the air, and fell down making the ground shake and had me on my butt as well. This is what I get for coming along with, the ninja and the big teddy bear… I thought blowing hair out of my face. I looked over in front of Bulkhead and tried not to laugh he knocked down some tree's. Welp if this doesn't work out he can become a part time lumberjack. I had gotten up and walked over to them. I looked around confused.
"Where is Prowl? Wasn't he just here?" I had asked and then his head popped out of where the tree's were. I started to laugh toppling over holding my stomach. "Oh my Primus, a-are you
*laughs*okay Prowl?" Prowl looked at he mad and Bulkhead not impressed.
"Oops..' Bulkhead said, in a sorry tone. I had just patted the big guys leg.
"It was an accident bud, its okay." I had taken a picture of Prowl in the tree to show Bee when I got back.
We stayed for another couple of hours and then headed back to the base. When we returned Prime said we were going to Dino-Drive, since Professor Sumdac, had an announcement to make and wanted us there.
Time Skip
When we had gotten to our destination, it had already become night fall. I had gotten out of Bumblebee's passenger side and they transformed. We stood there in a crowed of people, while listening to Mr. Sumdac speak.
"Utilizing state of the art robotics, I now bring Dino-Drive into the 22nd century. I give you the Dino-bots!" He said pressing a button on his remote. I had looked up hearing a noise and saw the pterodactyl fly over head, while the T-Rex and triceratops walked out from where they were. My eyes had widen with excitement as I saw them.
"OMG SO COOL!" I said as the bots looked at me smiling. Everyone in the crowed was surprised as well. I could hear them say it was amazing and really convincing. They are right this is amazing, and these bots look so real. I thought as I watched them move. The T-REX had roared and the paparazzi started to take pictures of Mr. Sumdac and the Dino-bots.
As I watched the bots, I saw something happen with their eyes. Why are their eyes red all of a sudden? Why do I have a bad feeling about this? I thought as I watched the Dino-Bots start to move forward towards us. "Guyysss!" I said to the others as the crowed started to back up from the approaching T-Rex.
"Um no need to panic, just a little glitch. Nothing I can't fix." Mr. Sumdac said turning around towards the bots hitting buttons on his remote. He was just about to get eaten if it wasn't for Prime getting him out of the way in time. I looked up and the bots, and yelled, "WHY DIDN'T WE LEARN ANYTHING FROM JURASSIC PARK?!" The others just looked at me with a weird look. "What it was a good movie." I told them, as the crowed went running and screaming. Bumblebee picked me up while Sari was on his shoulder, and ran as the Dino's came near us. The triceratops went and distroyed a car then went running towards Ratchet. Ratchet had taken out his magnets and pointed towards the triceratops, sending a pulse at it. That didn't really stop it, while Bee started to shoot his stingers at it as the flying pterodactyl. I took Sari and made her stay with her dad while I took my bat out to try and help the bots.
Narrator POV
As the battle went on Bulkhead was standing around while the others fought the malfunctioning dinosaurs. Prowl had just landed in front of Bulkhead and turned to him. "Bulkhead, uh a little help!" He said to the big green bot, as he dodged from being t-rex food. Bulkhead had started to repeat his lessons from earlier that day from when he was on the island with Prowl and Zen. Zen was hitting the T-rex by its snout to try and keep it away from her friends, and she looked over and yelled at Bulkhead.
"Yo Bulkhead, forget about the damn training and so what you do best, wreck these fuckers!" Prowl had grabbed Zen out of the way from being crushed by the triceratops while she was distracted. Meanwhile Prime yelled to Bulkhead as well while he was in front of him holding his ax up.
"Bulkhead lets get it in gear!" He said while running off to aid his comrades in battle.
Prime had swung his ax at the T-Rex but the dino, had caught it in his mouth. He had pulled Prime with him making Optimus go flying and yelling. The T-rex had thrown Optimus through the air, and Bulkhead came running over waving his wrecking balls around in the air, repeating his lessons still while his eyes were closed. While running Bulkhead had tripped over a car in his path and fell to the ground, and tumbling into Prowl making him fall over as well. Zenstria had looked over after hearing the crash and yelled to her big friends.
"Bulkhead, Prowl you okay?!" She yelled while running over to her friends to check on them. While Zen checked on Prowl and Bulkhead, Ratchet had come up with a plan with Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, how about a little electricity to go along with my magnitizem?" Ratchet suggested to Bee.
"Gotcha' we create an electromagnetic pulse, and shut them down." He said in return, turning his servo's into stingers. Bumblebee and Ratchet shot their electric shocks, and magnetic pulse at the same time, causing a reaction to accur when they collided with one another. The Dino's were still moving but only behind the big shield like pulse around them.
"Whoa this is new!" Sari said as her key started to glow and pull her towards Bumblebee and Ratchet. She had jumped up and climbed onto Bumblebee's back.
Zen POV
As I was staying next to Prowl and Bulkhead, I saw Sari climb onto Bumblebee. What is she doing? I thought to myself as I watched her pull her key out and stick it into Bee, causing his elector-pulse get stronger. As the pulse got stronger I noticed the synthetic skin on the bots disappear and you could see their robotic bodies that were underneath. As I watched I was amazed once again by how they looked. They look even cooler now then before. I thought then when the pulse was over I heard Mr. Sumdac talk.
"I don't know what went wrong, I'm absolutely certain that Meg- my assistant and I thought of everything. I need to check what went wrong." He said as he opened up the Dino's chest to check inside it.
"What do you mean assistant I was with the bot's all day and you never asked me to help you." I said to him as he checked them out, but I was ignored by him.
"Take them apart and redo the circuitry." Mr. Sumdac said to himself as he climbed into the t-rex chest. Prowl had walked up to us asking the professor a question.
"Isn't that a bit extreme?" While the professor was in the t-rex he told Prowl that they were just machines. I looked at the professor with a 'what the hell face'. Dude so not cool. I thought as I looked at the professor then back to Prowl.
Time Skip
Its been a couple of hours since the whole Jurassic park incident. The bots and I were hanging out helping with the clean up from earlier. We had just finished when we heard about the Dino attack all over again. We had rushed to the scene seeing the bots moving on their own and attacking the cops, and Captain Fanzone.
"Don't these things ever learn?" Ratchet said while in his vehicle mode. While the T-rex crushed a car in his mouth we heard it talk.
"Cars and trucks baaad!" He said with a roar in his voice.
"Apparently they learned to talk." Prowl said, replying to Ratchet's words. Then the pterodactyl came flying down towards the ground and started to shoot flames from its beak at a cop car. It had made the cop-car swerve and make a head on collision with a few other cop cars.
"They can shoot fire too?! What are they dragon's now?!" I said from inside Bee. Optimus had agreed with me saying they had learned a few other tricks as well.
"So what are we waiting for? Lets send them back to the stone age." I looked at his diving wheel.
"Bee that's not the right analogy.." I told him but he didn't really pay attention to what I was saying.
Narrator POV
"Wait I-I was thinking, maybe we should lore them someplace safer fist." Bulkhead had said driving in front of the others.
"Good thinking Bulkhead." Prime had praised him.
"He said good thinking." Bulkhead mumbled to himself at Primes praise.
"And Bulkhead." Bee said continuing Bulkhead's sentence, being just as surprised as the big green bot. They continued to drive along the road until they got to the Dino-Bots. Bulkhead had ran into the T-Rex causing it to fall over. The Autobots started to drive away making the Dino's follow them. Zen was looking behind them watching the Dino's following them. How did they become like this? She thought to herself, as she then turned around to watch where the Autobots where going to take them.
After a little while the bots came to a stop outside the city. They all transformed while Zen was on the ground after Bee, put her there. The Dino-bots had stopped and the t-rex looked at the bots in confusion.
"Hmm.. Me Grimlock forget, Cars and trucks bad..Car robots..WORSE! DINO-BOTS DESTROY CAR ROBOTS!" The t-rex now known as Grimlock said, then roared at the bots and shot flames from his mouth at them. The bots had dodge while Zen was picked up by Prowl and set down at a safe place.
"Okay so now you guys have Dino's as your enemies, how did you..." Zen was saying then stopped face palming remembering earlier in the day. "Never mind.." She said to them and got into a fighting stance taking her bat out.
"Kid you're not fighting you're still recovering go and take cover right now!" Ratchet had told her as the Dino bots were attacking. Zen being the stubborn girl she was tried to argue but couldn't as flames got between her and Ratchet. She then went and hit somewhere knowing she didn't want to be a distraction to the bots.
Zen POV
As I watched the bots, I saw Prowl use his ninja speed to dodge the flames, from the Dino-bots. Ratchet and Bumblebee were using their stingers and magnets against the Grimlock which seemed to not do anything to the poor bot. How did these bots come to be.. Was it because of the EMP blast and Sari's key from earlier or is something more behind this? I thought to myself trying to figure out where Grimlock and his friends had fully come from. Getting taken out of my thoughts Bumblebee was attacked by the pterodactyl's flame and then by the triceratops, but he was able to move in until he got caught in a ring of fire. Prowl tried to assist Bee by throwing his ninja stars at the Triceratops causing it to stop its flames.
I looked over to Prime to see if he was doing alright. He had just taken out his foam dispenser to get rid of the flames around Bumblebee. I saw the pterodactyl about to shoot its flames at Prime so I yelled to him. "Prime behind you!" He had turned in time and used his extinguisher on the flames and had hit the pterodactyl back.
As the battle when on, Grimlock was shooting fire at Ratchet who used his magnets to bring up a peace of land to cover him from the attack. Prowl was distracting the triceratops, and when I looked over to Bulkhead he was just standing there again.
"Bulkhead what in the name of the All-Spark are you just standing around for?!" I yelled at him.
"Bulkhead what are you doing?" Prowl had asked him the same thing as he kept his distance away from the Dino. Bulkhead had looked to Prowl and replied,
"I'm doing what you do!" I had finally realized why Bulkhead was acting like this the whole time. I face palmed and looked to him, Prowl seem to come to the same realization as me and we told Bulkhead together.
"Better idea do what you do!" Bulkhead had gasped then started to attack the Dino's. He ran into the triceratops like a linebacker in football. I cheered for Bulkhead as he fought.
"Go Bulkhead you can do it!" I smiled and laughed a bit seeing him back to his old self.
"'Cuse me." He told the triceratops as he stood up. I had then turned my attention to Optimus who was still fighting the pterodactyl. Bulkhead had ran over and jumped up grabbing it by the leg dragging it down with him, then slamming it down onto the ground. I cringed a little seeing that. Ouch I actually feel bad for that one.. I thought to myself as Bulkhead continued to kick some butt.
"Sorry my bad!" Bulkhead said not really meaning it and then Prime came up giving Bulkhead his thanks, and welcoming the old Bulkhead back. I had walked over to the three and smiled seeing the old destructive teddy bear back.
"I was just doing what ever I do." He said and hit the back of Prowl's back making him fall over and me laugh. "Today is just not your day Prowl." I said to him and he gave me an irritated look. I then heard Bee talking to us,
"Uh hey to break up the love fest, but we're getting the tar kicked out of us!" He had yelled as he stood next to Ratchet who was still holding up the metal plating protecting them.
"Oh scrap!" I said as I noticed the tar behind the two, if we didn't act quick they were in bigger trouble then they are now. I saw the two other dino's go and help Grimlock to take down Bee and Ratchet.
"Tar.. That's it!" Prime said getting an idea. I looked at him then it hit me. That's right, we could use the tar to trap the dino-bots! I thought as Bulkhead seemed to realize it too and started to run at the bots.
"I'm on it!" He said as he went and hit the triceratops with his fist, then the pterodactyl with his wrecking ball, and finally throwing Grimlock into the tar pit. Ratchet had stopped using his magnets and watched alongside Bee as Grimlock was sent into the tar, the two barley moving in time to not get sent in along with them.
"Hm.. Dino-bots destroy car bots!" Grimlock said as he and the others tried to get out of the tar. He noticed they couldn't move and told them, "Destroy black sticky stuff!" As they shot their fire breath at the tar it started to heat up and melt making them sink into it. "Why black sticky stuff not destroy?" Grimlock asked as we all watched them sink farther down into the tar.
After a while authorities came and took the Dino-bots into custody. They cut them out of the tar and put them into a big force field box to keep them in.
"I can't thank you enough, and again my apologies for the um glitch in the programming." Mr. Sumdac said to us as he walked over.
"You call breathing fire a glitch!" Ratchet said irritated at Mr. Sumdac, and for once I can really agree with Ratchet.
"I suppose I was overly inspired by you Autobots and your powers, I should be more careful try to reverse engenier alien technology." He replied to Ratchet, I looked at him and shook my head.
"You shouldn't be doing it in the first thing Mr. Sumdac, that's why I call you the crazy scientist." I said in response to him then Prowl asked him a question, which I was wondering as well.
"So what will you do them?" Prowl pointed to the Dino-bots indicating he was talking about them.
"Keep them in the energy cage for now, then melt them down first thing in the morning." I looked at him shocked. No he can't do that! I know they tried destroying everything but they are still living beings too.
"Melt them?" Prowl asked in disbelief as I was.
"After all they are still just mindless machines." The professor said to Prowl, but knowing Prowl he knew better then that like I did.
"But I sense something, a life force, a spark. What if they are more then just mindless machines?" He said while staring at Grimlock and the others.
"Yeah what if they are, shouldn't we like protect them and help them?" I said agreeing with the ninja, as Prime came up next to us.
"That's a big what if Prowl, Zen. But I think Professor Sumdac is right, these things are far to dangerous. Come on Autobots lets role." Prime said to us, and then went and transformed leaving us behind. I watched him leave along with Prowl. Prowl had just stared then transformed letting me get onto him and I waved by to Sari as we road off following the others. As we road off I looked down at Prowl.
"We are going to do something aren't we Prowl?" I asked him hoping he may have a plan to help the dino-bots. Without letting the others hear us he said to me,
"Yes I have a plan but we can never tell Prime or the others understood." I nodded knowing they would never go with the plan. So he told me what we were going to to and we waiting for the right time to make our move.
Next Day
It was the next day, it had taken us all night but it was worth it. We had taken the dino-bots out of the energy cage and taken them to the Island Prowl had trained Bulkhead on a few days ago. Along the time we had been doing this plan we got Bulkhead to join us, so we could get the bots out easier. He was against it at first but then we convinced him to help. We all looked down upon the Dino-bots and they seemed really happy.
"I'm glad we did this, we did the right thing." I said with a smile on my face to the two Mech's next to me.
"They do look kinda happy." Bulkhead said in return as he stared down at the Dino's.
"Thanks again for your help getting them here, both of you, and thanks for keeping it a secret away from the others. The dino-bots won't cause any harm here, and with a little holographic trickory no one will even know they are here" Prowl thanked Bulkhead and I making us look to him. He then took out his Autobot symbol; which got replaced by another one; and set it on the ground creating a holographic image to appear to make it seam like the huge hole on the island was grown over with many trees.
"Do you really think its the right thing to do?" Bulkhead had asked him. I had looked up to Bulkhead saying to him,
"It was the right thing to do, we saved lives and thats what hero's and good guys do." I said to him smiling at the mech.
"Just because something is big and lumbery and distructive doesn't mean you give up on it." Prowl said in return to Bulkhead with a smile on his faceplate. Bulkhead had smiled back at us and we started to leave the island to have the dino's live in peace.
With the Dino-bots Narrator POV
After Zen, Prowl and Bulkhead left the dino-bots were enjoying themselves. Some birds had just landed on a tree near Grimlock who looked up at them. "Cars and trucks bad, nature good." Grimlock had said while staring at the birds, until they pooped on his snot. "Gah, Stupid nature, come back and fight like dino-bot!" He said to the birds then shot fire at them making them fly off. The triceratops and the pterodactyl stared at Grimlock as he roared. Out of nowhere Grimlock started to transform into a giant robot, like the others. He had transformed and had taken out a sword from his back. The pterodactyl and the Triceratops looked on in surprise and confusion at their leader, they had stepped back in slight fear when Grimlock set fire to his sword.
"Me Grimlock, Like!" Grimlock said standing in a pose, as the others stared at him.
