Thank you for that info PIZZ4 GUY! My transformers knowledge all come from either the shows or the Internet.
On to chapter 7!
The Autobots emerged from the groundbridge, femmes included. The three kids stared at the two new arrivals with curiosity and interest. Ratchet looked on with disbelief.
"Chromia? Elita One?" Ratchet asked.
"Ratchet! You're here as well!" Chromia replied happily.
"Yes! But, how did you get here?" He continued.
"Who're you two?" Miko demanded. The two new Autobot femmes stared at the three small alien children.
"And what are these then?" Elita asked.
"They are a part of the dominant native species of this planet. They are called humans." Optimus explained.
"Oh." Chromia replied. "Well, my name is Chromia."
"And I am Elita One." She answered.
"Seriously?" Jack asked.
"No freaking way!" Miko shouted. "We were just talking about you guys!"
"Really?" Chromia asked.
"Yeah! We were talking about the Sisters. And the members! And how Opt-mmph!" Miko was stopped by Jack's hand being forcefully put over her mouth.
"Yeah. That was it." Jack continued quickly. Miko trying to pry his hand off of her mouth.
"Oh...okay then." Chromia said.
"Alright! Can we please have explanations now?" Smokescreen demanded.
"Yes, of course." Elita spoke. "Now, we should probably begin with why we first showed up as Decepticons."
"Yeah, that's probably a good place to start." Bulkhead agreed.
"Well, Arcee, you know that we left the Sister Unit because of a mission, right?" Elita began.
"Yes I remember. You said that you couldn't tell us because it was top secret." Arcee answered.
"It was also so you all would remain safe and oblivious if any of you were to meet Arcane or Nightfury." Chromia continued. "For your safety and for the integrity of the mission."
"We still don't know what this mission was." Arcee said.
"Elita One and Chromia were given the task of directly infiltrating the Decepticon ranks. While there they were to gather vital information about the enemy's plans and movements. And to also attempt to destroy them from within." Optimus explained.
"How'd you guys do it?" Wheeljack asked. "Infiltrating the Decepticons doesn't sound like an easy thing to do."
Elita put her hand over the Autobot symbol on her hand. With a flash of purple light the Decepticon commander Arcane stood among the Autobots once more.
"Say what?" Miko said as Jack's hand eased off of her mouth in surprise.
"Yes." Arcane spoke as she put her hand on her Decepticon symbol, turning back into Elita One.
Elita seemed to pick something off of her Autobot insignia. She revealed a thin transparent disk with a Cybertronian micro chip in its center. "Hologram disguise technology of my own personal design and creation." Elita answered.
"Hmm. I never knew of this mission." Ultra Magnus spoke.
"We know. The mission was confidential among the mere three of us. For maximum security." Optimus explained.
"You guys said that Nightfury and Arcane were your 'alter egos'. What does that mean exactly?" Bulkhead asked.
"Well, we figured that we couldn't take on the appearances of actual, established Decepticons. To do that we would've had to get rid of them, and make sure that they didn't compromise our mission. Not to mention that we'd have to act exactly like them otherwise the entire mission would fall apart. Nope, it was easier to just create our own personas and start from scratch. Working our way up through the Decepticon ranks pretty quick all things considered." Chromia explained.
"How'd you manage to stay in touch with Optimus?" Bumblebee asked.
"We had a special code system in place." Elita explained. "Whenever we left a battlefield or anywhere that we knew Autobots would come across, we'd leave a heavily coded data log disguised as something only Optimus would recognize as being from us. Unless of course we saw him in person."
"But as we moved up in the Decepticon ranks, we had less and less chances to do this. The Decepticons began to watch us with a much more judgemental and nosy eye. If we did anything remotely suspicious, chances were that they knew about it." Chromia continued. "It got to the point where we couldn't do anything to contact him at all."
"Yes. Those were quite unfortunate circumstances." Elita said with sadness. "But at least I had my big sister to keep me company."
Chromia smiled.
"Why do you guys do that?" Smokescreen asked. "Call each other sister when you're obviously not."
"Well, we are. At least in a symbolic sense." Elita answered. "All of the femmes who were a part of the Sisters Unit—be it temporarily or not—we went through thick and thin together. We all ended up becoming as close as real sisters. So we treat each other accordingly."
"Hmm. You called Arcee 'little sister'." Bulkhead said. Elita and Chromia nodded.
"But Elita called Chromia her 'big' sister." Bulkhead continued.
"Well of course I did. She's older than I am." Elita answered.
"Really?" Bulkhead asked, looking at the two femmes who were standing side by side.
Arcee was the smallest Autobot present. Chromia was taller than her, standing shoulder to shoulder with Bulkhead. Elita One however, was by far the tallest femme. Her helm reached just beside Ultra Magnus' shoulders. She also just looked older.
"Yes. I'm older. Now enough about us. How about you all?" Chromia continued.
"Well sure. I'm Smokescreen."
"Bumblebee."
"Bulkhead."
"The name's Wheeljack." Chromia lifted an optic ridge.
"Wheeljack and Bulkhead? Aren't you two Wreckers?" She asked.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" Bulkhead wondered.
"Ironhide spoke very highly and very often of your team." Chromia answered.
"Really? Cool! Say, where is he now?" Bulkhead replied. Chromia's smile disappeared.
"What's wrong?" Wheeljack asked.
Elita placed her servo on her sister's shoulder. "Ironhide has been missing ever since the raiding of Vos."
"Seriously?" Wheeljack replied.
"Yes. I...I haven't seen hide nor iron of him for several stellar cycles." Chromia answered. "But he is most definitely not offline! I am his spark bonded mate! I would know if he was dead as though I saw it happen right in front of me!"
"Yeah. Of course." Bulkhead said quietly. "So...uh, you should probably meet our human friends."
Taking it as her queue to break the tension, Miko unleashed her questions.
"Areyoureallygoodatfighting?Wereyouguystheoriginalsisters?Howdidyoumeettheothersisters?Whatareyourweapons?HowlonghaveyouknownOptimus?HowlonghaveyouguysknownArcee?ispinkyourfavouritecolourElita?" Miko asked in a single breath.
The Autobots and the other humans stared at Miko in confusion. None of them understood any of the questions that she had just asked, but Elita smiled and took a breath of her own.
"Yes. Yes. We met them during battles. Chromia has tonfa weapons, and I have fans. A very long time. Long enough to be sisters. And most definitely yes. Pink all the way." Elita answered.
Now the Autobots and human children stared at her in confusion.
"You got all that?" Smokescreen asked in disbelief.
"Well, yes. Didn't you?" Elita replied.
Everyone shook their heads. "Oh." Elita said. "Who are you then little one?"
"I'm Miko! I'm a Wrecker too!" She exclaimed.
"Really?" Chromia asked.
"Don't be fooled by the small appearance. Give her the tools and a chance, she can carry a massive punch." Wheeljack assured. Chromia smiled.
"Reminds me of a young femme I knew." She said.
"Uh, hey. I'm Raf." Raf spoke with a wave.
"Hello." Elita replied.
"And uh, I'm Jack." Jack said.
"My partner on this planet." Arcee said.
"Is he now? You keeping her out of trouble?" Chromia asked.
Jack shrugged. "I dunno. I guess I try my best."
"I suppose that is all we can ask for." Elita replied.
"I must ask. Are you two planning on staying here on Earth?" Optimus asked.
"Well, since we completely blew our cover and now that I think about it Knockout got away...yes We'll stay." Elita replied happily.
"Not to mention Megatron's on this rock. That alone is enough incentive for me to stay." Chromia continued.
"In that case, Elita One. Chromia. I personally welcome you both to Team Prime."
