Transformers: Full circle

Chapter 5: Teeth and metal

Darkens, drifting though the abyss and feeling nothing but total oblivion all around. A chilling numbness of an out of body experience, no up, no down, just an immersive vertigo.

Then in the distance a line of red light began to merger into symbols but before they came into focus they shifted down quickly followed by other blurry red lines streaming downwards.

The last top line is very much in focus and reads out 'STATUS LOCK'. It stayed still for a moment and then another line appeared stating 'Self diagnostic repair.' Next to this is a percentage which is slowly rising, 2%... 5%... 8%... time did not seem relevant but at the same time the glowing red figures took an eternity to clime to the next number

Sounds began to filter in, a calm ocean slowly caressing a shore line, an orange hue began to take the place where only darkness has resided before.

A silver metal hand connected to a robotic orange arm rose vision, a yellow lined box targeted around the hand and then the arm where it gave an exo-skeleton view of them and a display read out informed that 'Right limb extremities status: 100%'.

The vision up righted itself from looking at the eerily clear orange sky to be greeted with a large green ocean that is lifeless and calm but as the line of sight moved inland it realised that the tide was moving in across a metallic land, the shore bed is completely comprised of square metal plates.

The subject arose to take all this in and then the read out displayed 'Unit designation: Wheelie'.

"This planet not like the one from before, I'm lost for sure." Wheelie worried but before he could do anything else he noticed some small spikes in a row in the ocean moving towards him, as it got closer a large bumpy rectangle slightly appeared out of the ocean that the spikes are connected to. As it got closer a snout appeared from the front which leads to eyes at the side which lead to what looked like the robotic formation of a crocodile.

Wheelie had no idea what this thing slowly moving towards him is and just looked at it with dull surprise.

The water became quite shallow to reveal the beings whole form with it hunched-over bi-pedal crocodile like appearance and a pair of small arms either side and hoofed legs. Letting out a robotic growl it showed a row of sharp teeth that loos like knifes that can bite though anything and then pounced at Wheelie. Wheelie froze in terror before his basic programming cut in and he dived out of the way, because of the slight delay his foot trailed behind him just long enough for the Crocacon to bite into and tare though what would be Wheelie's toe.

Wheelie transformed and sped off into the distance, with the front bumper on his alt mode spitting electrical sparks from the wound the Crocacon gave him as a nice welcome to the world he has landed on.

The Crocacon let out a predatory rawr and gave chase but Wheelie is long gone.

Speeding along various silvery metallic road and ramps Wheelie has no idea where he is heading. He has activated his main beam to see where he is going, for what was once clear terrain has become a jungle like path. Everywhere he looked is over grown with large tree like spires. They, like the rest of the landscape, are silvery metallic objects that are sharp and twisted ending in spikes and many had other little spheres coming out of the braches.

Wheelie's vehicles mode began to slow down from the prolonged use of its max speed and forced him to convert back into mech mode. He walked further going along the twisting paths, in the distance he could hear a struggle. The path is leading that way so he hurried to the location to see what the situation is.

Once there he sees the terrifying site that his neural cortex could not process.. to the side of the path a being that looks like it is made out of a collection the tree like spires forming a large oak-like tree, has many spire like tentacles whipping out from it. One of the tentacles has wrapped itself around a creature similar to what stalked Wheelie before. This one has a much rounder grey body, again with little blue arms and hoofed legs but its face is directly on the body with huge round yellow eyes and a mouth stretched out so wide its displaying rows of sharp jagged teeth. Spikes protruded down its back to its short tail which ends it a blue spiked mace, this is the form of a Sharkticon.

The Sharkticon writhed around in terror as the Technotree drew it on closer with its tentacles that are wrapped around the Sharkticon. The sc kept trying to whip its tail on the tactical to free itself as the tree parted down the middle to reveal what looks like a vertical opening mouth with razor sharp teeth circling around the opening of the mouth slowly. The closer the Sharkticon got the faster the teeth wired around, Wheelie couldn't stand to see another being be torn apart in such a hideous way and reached for his only means of attack, his trusty Energo-slingshot. He took aim and fired directly into the belly of the beast, or in this case the mouth of the tree.

The Technotree let out a high pitch screeching noise as its tentacles frailed around dropping the sc to the ground where it quickly recovered and pounced towards the tree's opening. Its jaw gripped onto the side of the trees mouth, digging in deep with its razor sharp teeth, the mech began to bite its way around the tree, tearing around its outside like a can opener. All Wheelie could hear is the sound of metal being torn apart and ripped open as the Sharkticon made its way around the tree, a heavy grinding noise filled the air and top half landed in the ground. As the tentacles still had life and frailed back and fourth it began to crystallise, diamonds forming over the once metallic object until it becomes completely covered and then shined, sparkling in the light, emanating radiance and then shattered. Throwing dust up into the air and the crystalline form had vaporised leaving a cloud of diamond dust that slowly dissipated into the winds.

Wheelie looked on in awe of the remaining dust falling like glittery snow until he sees the Sharkticon slowly approaching him, growling and bearing its teeth. Wheelie stepped back and pleaded;

"Don't eat me, I saved you from that tree"

Wheelie ducked as the Sharkticon lunged towards him and past straight over. Rising up confused and disorientated to why this happened he saw the Crocacon he evaded earlier, now battling with the Sharkticon.

The battle is fast paced, the Sharkticon whipped around sticking with his mace tail in the Crocacon's snout who recovered quickly by opening its jaw wide and letting outer robotic rawr as he darted forward encompassing the front body of the Sharkticon inside its fearsome grip slowly crushing down into the Sharkticon's plating. The Sharkticon thrashed around for a few seconds as sparks flew out where the teeth have ruptured its hull panting. He transformed with his tail separating into legs, shark mode legs shrunk back into arms and the top half of its circular body flipped back opening the jaw right back to reveal a round mech face with glowing red eyes wearing a helmet with a fin like Mohawk, as he went though the process the teeth digging into the Sharkticon ripped over its body but it was worth it to be in its mech mode.

Still in the grip on its opponents jaw it used its newly formed arms to prise apart the spiky trap but when there was enough room to escape he stayed and carried on pushing. There is an enormous sound of strain coming from the jaws joints as smoke spewed fourth from them until it split in half and the Sharkticon is left holding the top half of the jaw and raises above his head and slams in down onto the Crocacon's frame crushing it, leaving it in a twisted mutilated state. For a few second its legs tried pushing the body up but the servos to support the weight are too badly damaged and gave in after a dew moments of the Sharkticon looking at the fattened Crocacon with its top half ripped off and a tail and legs connecting to the smashed body displaying broken circutes and sparking wires, beneath these is its exposed spark core. A unit that contains the very essence of the mech, a life sum of its experience and personality contained in a cylindrical box shaped device contained in the upper body similar to a human heart.

The Sharkticon stomped on it cracking it open, all life functions in the Crocacon ceased. He turned round to Wheelie, transformed into a shark and jumped up and down with a look of delight on its razor teeth filled face. Wheelie took this as a sign of comradeship;

"You tare though things like a saw, from now on I call you Gnaw." Wheelie laughed.

A silver metallic tongue extended from Graw's mouth and licked Wheelie then he turned to the Crocacon and make short work of consuming the wreckage. Wheelie looked disturbed but Gnaw gestured by nudging his head in a direction for Wheelie to follow him, Wheelie moved after him and transformed as Gnaw picked up speed.

They ended up in a clearing where the landscape formed up into a cave entrance hidden by the warped tree spires' of the planet, it lead down into the ground into a den where Gnaw lived.

Wheelie spent the next few cycles here with Gnaw going on scouting missions, looking for Energon and Gnaw feeding on local wildlife until one day their den was discovered by a swarm of Sharkticons. They battled them but were over powered, Wheelie managed to escape but Gnaw couldn't follow him and was cannibalised by the attackers.

Wheelie mourned for Gnaw but knew what he must do next. On recon missions he had found a structure, a central complex that looked like it will be the only way to get off the planet but Wheelie also knew it would be a suicide mission if he went alone.

Travelling towards his destination in his alt mode his sensors detected an air bourn creature circling in the air as it squawked and headed towards the ground.

Fearful the creature Wheelie transformed and hid behind some cyber-trees, a visor came down across his optics allowing them to zoom in to observe the creature to asses its actions.

The readout on Wheelie's display showed that its birdlike in design but a metical in origin. With its giant wings which it flapped as its glides across the air, each one carrying an explosive device underneath. The body is short and stout, coloured red with a head that has a long fin coming out of the back of it a long golden beak. Wheelie also noticed that for an areal creature it had no tail,

It landed on a path just after it transformed in front of a group of oddly shaped mechanical creatures. The main one that the aerial one looks like it is reporting to has a long body and tail with a pair of large legs it stood upright on and also had tiny arms but its most prolific feature is its massive jaw line filled with teeth. A much bulker four legged creature walked next to it that had a tail, a spiky armoured colour and 3 hones coming from its dog like face. One spike came from the end of its snout and the others either side of its brow pointing forward, it also seems to be arguing with the larger creature. Two other are trailing behind the first two, one is similar in design to the four legged one but this ones tail and back has two rows of spiny plates running across its tail and back but stopped before its tiny lizard head. The other is much larger in comparison to the others, four legged aswell he has a much longer tail and long neck ending in a small head. The general colour of the group is silver with any protruding feature coloured gold as with segments of their necks and tails.

Wheelie got closer to them, their behaviour seemed normal compared to everything else he has come across and partly though loneliness and innocence he decided to make contact.

On closer inspection these beings seemed dumb and squabbled between themselves, the front one with three horns is stupid enough to set off a trap that opened a pit of spikes, the four legged mech is inches away from falling into it but is saved at the second by the one who stands upright mighty tail swiping him out of the way. Instead of thanks for this brutal rescue they have growled and traded insults more.

Deciding that he wanted to make contact with the metallic goliaths while they are all still in one peace he shouted a friendly,

"Einstein, look behind'

The standing leader of the pack looked around in confusion, scanning the area for threats in the most intelligent way, he grounded,

"Who says that?"

Wheelie disclosed his location in the shadows by jumping down from his raised structure and quickly making his way over to the group. He playfully made his way up the tail and along the body of the longer four legged creature and hoped across its long neck before making nest on top of its head. The brute is to slow and dumb to even react to the squatter now taking up residence on his face.

Wheelie replied to what by saying,

"You fool I say, you go wrong way."

The leader took a step back in amazement that such a small 'bot would not be terrified of his massive jaw and puzzled at him,

"Me Grimlock fool?"

Deciding it is best not to make the beast antagonised he tired to sooth him,

"Pity you not, now fool you not." He chuckled briefly.

The beast is not impressed by the little orange 'bots wittery, he pointed and said,

"Me no like you!" With that he swiped him down from his perch with his stubby arms like a cow swatting at a pesky fly. As Wheelie hit the hard metallic ground he automatically reached for his Energo-slingshot and loaded it with an Energon pellet that he let loose into the beast's snout.

Grimlock recoiled in pain letting out a grown, while rubbing the sore point and looking very sad and wounded he asked,

"Why boy hurt my nose?"

We got up and laughed off the situation by saying,

"Wheelie say, find friends today." He started walking in a better direction for the central direction for the central base.

The beast did his close approximation to a shrug with his little arms and bulky neck, he then said,

"Me Grimlock say, we are on our way." Imitating his new found friend his trope followed to their new destination.

Walking along the strange metallic path still thick with either side full of jagged of cyberfoliage and tree like metal structures, Grimlock became curious about the odd talking small mech'

"Why boy Wheelie on weird planet?"

"I once had a friend in space but he exploded and left me in this place. From where I come I do not know, all I know is that im alone."

"Story makes Grimlock sad but Wheelie but you have friend with the Dinobots." Grimlock said proudly.

"Slag like boy, made good shot on Grimlock's head." Laughed the three horned Triceratops which Grimlock growled at, the long necked Brontosaurus slowly added,

"Ahhhh….. Slag make sludge laugh, but boy is goooooood."

"When boy prove self in battle he one of us and make me Snarle happy. The lizard headed gold plated Stegosaurus confirmed.

At this point the only other Dinobot walking in his mech form is the one with wings, he turned and to Wheelie and smiled,

"Leave some Energon for us and your fine with me."

With that he transformed into his pterodactyl mode and rose up to survey the land around them.

"You guys are great, meeting you feels like fate." Wheelie happily said and Grimlock laughed,

"Wheelie you honorary Autobot."

Up ahead the road disappeared into water, as Wheelie and the Dinobots arrived at its edge it expanded into a massive lake that stretched for as far as the optic could scan in all directions with only some twisted structures on the distance horizon as hope.

"Me Grimlock not built for water."

"Do not despair, we must make it to the lair." Wheelie tried encouraging Grimlock.

Grimlock's ribcage plate swings open and the entire torso planting wrapped behind sticking out like small wings, the tyrannosaurus head and neck snapped back revealing a head, the golden lower part of this body rose up forming a new torso and lowering behind the lower torso and waist making a normal mech's body.

His powerful T-rex legs bolted him up and as his body slightly left the ground his lower half of his legs retracked slightly revealing hands so what were once dino legs are now mech arms and his tail parted down the middle, the lower end retracted and the upper part twisted around into bulky legs.

Grimlock stood there in his majestic mech mode, his golden torso glinting in the light, his head had little features on it, the lower part of his face is protected by a mouth guard also running up his nose plate and what remained of his upper face and eyes are concealed in a blue visor. Total protection for the ultimate warrior.

"Me Grimlock no swimmer, I will hunt what's in water."

He turned around silently and walked into the lake. Snarl and slag followed their leader without question into the water, still in their alt modes as they had not been instructed otherwise and it is still possible for them to traverse water in this way.

Sludge moved his graceful long neck towards Wheelie and picked him up on top of his head and also began to venture into the water.

The Dinobots waded their way though in silence as if they were on a black ops mission. It is a bit of a struggle even though the waters are calm, it also felt like they are going against the current.

It is slightly easier for Sludge, Slag and Snarl in their four legged Dino modes then for Grimlock in his mech mode as he pushed with his mighty legs under the surface but kept his arms still, looking like he is in stealth mode and forgoing the chance to cling onto the biggest dino, Sludge, for his pride as a Dinobot leader demanded no less.

Wheelie took in the view of a peaceful lake sitting aloft of Sludge's head, watching as Slag and Snarl bobbed up and down ion the water, not looking quite as fearsome doing so even with all their spikes and armour.

He noticed to the port side of them that there is a slight bubbling in the water but as soon as it appears it dissipated so he disregarded it from his sensors. Just as Wheelie is about to make a comment about the journey he noticed Grimlock suddenly disappeared under the surface with this hands being the last thing to go, trying to grab on to thin air.

All the Dinos froze, their tiny intellect unsure of what action to take as their commander is not there to instruct but they did not have to wait long for as soon their shock subsided and they began to process the next course of action Grimlock appeared again with a roar still in his mech mode but holding the top and bottom half of a Sharkticon in separate hands and simply shouted;

"Dinobots, prepare yourselves!"

Before they knew it the Dinobots are surrounded by fins which suddenly rose to be the top half's of Sharkticon's racing towards then teeth first.

The first one to attack is Slag living up to his function of flamethrower by opening his mouth in Triceratops form and letting fourth a tidal wave of fire. It tore though the waves with its incredible heat turning them to steam until it reached its destination of the Sharkticons. Once there, it engulfed its victim in 3000 degrees Celsius of pain, scorching across the Sharkticon's armour plating and melding all its components together making it unable to move and it suck to the bottom of the lake as unusable scrap.

The next move is made by the Sharkticons who attacked on mass. The closest one managed to sink in its teeth into Snarls tail nit it would live to regret this action as the large armour panels spikes running down the course of its Stegosaurus back are actually solar panels, when they are fully charged it can relase the energy as a bean weapon that electrocutes its victim at 2000 mg/hz, and its at max power.

This is normally enough to fry any target but it is increased with the Sharkticons biting directly into the source with its teeth acting as a super conductor. Unable to let go the Sharkticon felt every circuit being fried making it impossible to move until the final part of the shock blew it far away, leaving smouldering wreck flying though the air until it suck into the abysses of the lake.

Grimlock has been separated off from the group and surrounded by three of the aggressors but he knows no dear and readied his blazing Energo-sword. The first one dove straight at him but for an experienced warrior such as Grimlock this is an oblivious mindless attack easily countered and he swiped his sword horizontally though the Sharkticon causing it to explode in midair, this allowed another Sharkticon to attach itself to Grimlock's shoulder with its teeth causing Grimlock to yell out in pain.

He wrestled with the creature to no avail until it suddenly exploded due to Sludge cursing it with his head with Wheelie mounted on top launching volleys of Energo-pellets at the surrounding attackers causing minimal damage.

Leaving Grimlock to deal with the last one Sludge raised his head only to have a Sharkticon jump out at him from the other side gripping onto his neck with its teeth, the searing pain makes Sludge whip his neck around throwing Wheelie into the water. Slag comes to Sludge's rescue by unleashing his flame which incinerated the target so it released its grip and the charred remains fell away.

Recovering from being hurled into the water Wheelie looked around to see what his next reaction should be only to see a solitary fin racing towards him, he had no time to react before je was the water rise up and spewed into the air a Sharkticon that seemed to fly for a second before it turned and momentum pushed it back down.

Wheelie looked in the big yellow bulging eyes of the circular beings heading towards him and his spark chamber sank as he knew what would happen next. The airborne demon's mouth flipped open to show rows and rows of shiny, pointy daggers that it calls teeth looking like it could turn Wheelie into confetti in seconds.

Wheelie deactivated his optics, not wanting to see the mechanical horror that is about to devour him but the moment passes and then another moment comes into existence and goes again. Wheelie is unsure what's happening and reactivated his optics half expecting the teeth to just wrap around him but instead he witnessed a very strange event, time seemed to reverse as he sees the up close and personal view of a row of teeth getting further away from him. Confused for a second he watched the body of his would be killer moving away from him and as Wheelie focused his optics he realised a pair of wings are protruding from the Sharkticon, is this another of the monsters abilities he wondered at the horror of a Sharkticon and then he herd a squawk and the familiar cry made Wheelie realise his saviour is Swoop in his Pterodactyl mode who is carrying the now helpless beast off to another location before dropping him into the lake and allowed two of his wing mounted bombs to follow. The exploding bombs made the water fountain upwards and when it came back down neither it nor the Sharkticon are to be seen again.

With a horizontal slashing motion of his Energo-sword Grimlock finished of the last Sharkticon letting its body slide in two and float away with the rest of the mechanised scrap until it all sank to the lake bed.

"Me Grimlock say that best planet can do?" No one can take down the Dinobots." Grimlock gloated as he and the other Dinobots celebrated and once gain Wheelie took his position on Sludge's head.

The Dinobots went to carry on their journey across the lake again but the now calm waters began violent again.

They all looked around to see a massive object rising out of the water. Large orange tentacles arose from the water around them as the main body of a giant robotic squid, which the tentacles are attached to, finished rising and easily five time their size.

Looking battle damaged already as one large sphere of an optic is already shattered revealing the inner circuitry of it as the beast attacks, its tentacles frailing everywhere.

"me think leader Grimlock talk too soon." Sludge said.

The first tactical to attack arrived at sludge and swiped Wheelie off his head, its metallic limb quickly coiled around the little mech and holds him tight in the air, the Dinobot began their assault.

The intense heat from Slag's flame scorched the tactical, trying to force it back as they attacked. It didn't cause much damage but allowed the other Dinobots to get their attacks though.

Grimlock is the closest to the squids body but is under the heavyset attack, although he expertly fending off the tentacles with his Energo-sword he cant get any attacks into the main body.

"Snarl. Transform. Jump from Sludge to attack." The grizzly commanding voice of Grimlock barked the order and Snarl know just what to do.

Floating in the water his little lizard head parted down the middle and each part snapped back to the body. The front half flipped forward and separated to become two bulky legs. He used these to propel himself into the air and as he did this let his tail divide centrally becoming horizontal along his shoulders and the golden spine along his back supporting his golden plates revealing his head and changing the rear half of his body into the main torso of his mech mode. The back legs of his dino mode shifted into mech arms just in time for him to grab onto the side of Sludge and flip onto his comrades back and hop from there onto the head. Sludge's dino cranial component is too small for Snarl to perch on but he only needed one foot to land on it to boost his towards the massive squids upper body.

As he flew through the air he took a hilt out of a secret compartment from his leg and it suddenly spewed forth glowing flames of Energon as it became an Energo-sword.

He landed feet first on the mech-squid, one each side of its functional eye but being a vertical surface he dropped straight away. As gravity took its effect, pushing Snarl towards the water he took his sword and buried it deep into the mech-squids optic and with gravity doing its job pushing him and his sword down slicing down the squid leaving a massive gash of a scar which bolts of yellow electricity sparked from.

As Snarl his the water's surface he smiled at his good job and is rewarded in a shower of optical glass shards but he also saw Wheelie being released from the tentacles gripping his as the Mech-squid writhed around in a world of pain.

Falling to the waters, although it would cause him no harm, Wheelie is snatched up by Swoop's talons who let a few bombs drop from his wings onto the squid in retribution wishing that he still had his old name of Divebomb which was taken form him by a Deception but that is another story.

This is the final blow for the now opticles squid and decided to escape with its battle torn body while it still functioned.

It quickly submerged into the water as the Dinobot's rested in the water. Swoop circled around and rested Wheelie on Sludge's head, this broke the battle tension. The 'bots in Dino mode rawred in celebration and the mechs wheedled their Energo-swords in the air.

"The squid went away, the Dinobot's save the day." Wheelie said triumphantly.

"Now we go land?" Sludge said almost pleading in his slow deep voice.

"Nothings gonna get in our way." Grimlock gloated and began to swim again and the others followed hi9m on their uninterrupted journey to the main land.

"We can't hold out forever Kup but we can give them one hell of a repair bill!" Shouted a youthful mech. He is of average size and has a red colour scheme with orange hands and dark grey boots. A car bonnet covered his torso that has a same emblem on it covering it in a vee shape with the Autobot logo in the middle. Arching from his back is large yellow spoiler that spans out in two parts behind him to a point above each shoulder, along both arms runs a set of triple exhaust pipes that he hoots photon bursts from against aggressors.

"True, Hot Rob lad. But there's a lot more of those diode crunching, piston munching monstrosities then we have photon charges." Warned the worn looking old mech whos next to him. His average sized frame is covered in a green/blue colour and his torso is square like sloping down for the front of his vehicle mode. His face looks a lot more details then the other mechs as he is one of the oldest and his face plate is more scuffed and dented because of it due to the amount of battles he has been in and can tell a lot more stories then the other Autobot's care to think about.

He is fighting with a spiked frail tail he has ripped from one of his opponents. The opponents being a familiar looking spherical looking mech with more teeth then body, the Sharkticons.

They are attacking the valiantly fighting bots on mass in much higher numbers then been seen before but their sheer numbers is not making for the Autobot's combat skills. With ease the battling two are evading the clumsy attacks and returning in kind with a devastating effect.

More Sharkticons are pouring out of the large metallic central water pool that the bots escaped their grizzly Sharkticon fate just moments ago, being watched by their cruel capturers the strange mulitfaced spherical beings that have a five faces in a row going horizontally around the rim of the body. They levitate on shafts of light, flipping their bio-tentacles in delight of the show. These Quintasons want nothing but revenge on the Cybertronian inhabitants for their betrayal so many eons ago.

Being backed into a corner by countless rows of tooth filled wrecking balls intent on eating them alive the two warriors are sure that their wrecking rampage has come to an end.

Suddenly every mech in the rooms optic's are directed towards the large metal door to the entre room as the pounding noise against it drowned out all the chaos that is going on inside the room.

The tall door eventually gave way and collapsed down onto a single faced Quintason guard who's bio-tentacles frail around everywhere in pain. Hot Rod and Kup looked on in jubilation as they see their old friends the Dinobots lumbering into the room in their signature alt mode dino forms.

Slag is the first one into the room walking along the collapsed door, looking at the crushed guard simply saying,

"Excuse me."

Then the Dinobots brought their own brand of chaos to the battle with the legion of theitr old foes the Sharkticons.

To instigate the slaughter Slag heated up the crowd with his mouth flame thrower, melting them on the spot and then had fun charging at them with his three horns in triceratops mode.

Following very close behind walking across the door the rest of the Dinobots joining in causing maximum devastation in their reptilian modes. snarl is battering them up like a baseball player with his spiked tail, Sludge uses his mightily Brontosaurus bulk to crush whoever is in his path, Swoop is trying his bowling skills by picking up unsuppecting Sharkticons and throwing it into the others, Grimlock terrified one of the Sharkticons with his guttural growling in his T-rex mode and then picked up another one in his mightily jaw and bit down with his razor sharp teeth turning his victim into shreaded scrap that fell to the floor in bits.

With heaps of twisted burnt metal everywhere that was once the Sharkticon army, Hot Rod and Kup recovered themselves pulling themselves to their feet and Hot Rod laughed,

"I never though I'd be happy those big bozos"

"Me Grimlock no bozo, me Grimlock king!" Grimlock said proudly after he just showed what the Dinobots can really do.

Then from high above they all herd a furious voice scream,

"Sharkticons! execute them!" it was the voice of the Sharkticon master and its five sided head has swapped around to the face that looked like it commanded death with it metallic skull that has giant sharp teeth and green head piece making it look like a pharaoh.

The Sharkticon obey their master either out of stupidly of fearfulness but either way, they obey.

A large portion of the army still functioned and they all converted into their mech modes to follow the order.

Grimlock did not like to be shown up after his impressive display and thought as they are as primitive as his Dinobots he would make a suggestion that might appeal to their more rational side. He stamped down with his mighty leg that shook the very ground that they all stood upon in a similar way an angry child would. With his ting T-rex arms he pointed towards the Quintasons and said,

"Me Grimlock say execute them."

For a second the Sharkticon's look confused not understanding the concept of rebelling against their masters. That moment past, the Sharkticons faces lit up like someone had revealed the mysteries of the universe to them and they all charged at the wall their masters viewing platform is high on top of. Wave after wave climbed on top of each other's back slowly building a pathway upwards.

The Quintasons seeing their mighty arm of a Sharkticon army coming for them, scaling the wall, decided it might be best to evacuate and flee with their more intelligent henchmen that also didn't want to suffer a gruesome fate.

Calmly watching everything that's happening Kup said,

"I think the problems on this planet will be solved very shortly."

"Yeah, but what about our problems? We need a ship." An annoyed Hot Rod enquired.

"You get ship if I get trip."

Hot Rod look confused and then looked down to see a mech half his size, the same orange one that rode in on Grimlock so Hot Rod asked who he is. Grimlock put his Dino snout Wheelie and nudged him up on his head, holding him there like a proud parent.

"Him Wheelie, him friend." Hot Rod perked up, if the little 'bot earned the respect of the savage Dinobots leader there must be something impressive about him.

"He'll be mine too if he can find a ship." Hot Rod smiled.

Wheelie pointed behind the mechs and rimed,

"Gift stare, over there." With that they all looked around and Kup said what is on everyone's mind,

"That's a ship?"

Kup referred to the structure just outside of the open top room that towered above everything else, looking more like a warped tower as it slopped to one side with its spiralled hull.

Hot Rod with his cavalier attitude and never wanting to be beaten by anything just laughed and then said,

"Who cares, as long as it flys."

The group found their way on to the ship and managed to activate its strange alien controls, the ship blasted off and as it did the outside hull rotated around with a spiralling effect.

Inside they are all having a well deserved rest. Swoop perched on top of a command console as the rest of the Dinobots stood in their Dino modes except Snarl who is sparing with Hot Rod with Energo-swords. Kup and Wheelie are discussing what happened to Wheelie so far, how he got onto Quintessa and the mysteries to his origin.

"…and you don't have any idea where you come form?" Kup asked.

"My past is a haze, my life is a maze."

"You managed to avoid the Deceptions lad, that's one thing." Kup laughed.

"The Deceptions iv herd of before, are you at war?"

"You don't even know about that, huh lad? Well it all started about 65 billion years ago…" Kup began one of his famous war stories but its interrupter by the Dinobot cheering as they love Kup's war stories. Snarl stopped sparing and said,

"Oooo me wanna get comfy fir this one."

Hot Rod then delivered a hard kick to Snarl throwing him into a console.

"Learnt that move from a master." Hot Rod joked, now feeling abit better from where the sparing droid got the jump on him earlier.

"Meee rest Hearrrr." Snarl said slowly to lazy to get up.

"Everyone finished now? Good. It all started the night of the celebration of the spark, where we give thanks to the ancient Cybertronians and the creator of the Matrix once every one million years.
