Alright, second chapter for this story, I'll be working on another Metal Scales and WoF chapter this week as well, I hope to get this chapter out by Saturday at the latest. Also, over only one night, this story has gotten about 8 views, by now that number has most likely increased. I have great visions for this story, thank you all. Let's all get into this.
Chapter two: Dark Energon? That can't be good.
"It's an auto bot life signal, Cliffjumper's, must be a bug, the system's shock full of them" Ratchet said as he was looking at the screens.
"Who's Cliffjumper?" I asked, getting ignored.
"If there's any chance that Cliff's still alive" Arcee started.
"Ratchet, bridge us there, and prepare sickbay" Optimus ordered, right after the green vortex appeared.
"Darkrai, follow them" I told my teammate. Darkrai followed the bots through the portal. "And use any moves you feel necessary to use!" I added.
"Can he actually do anything against the cons?" Miko asked, skeptical.
"While I normally would ask the same question, I already did, last night. It seems that Darkrai could go on par with Megatron himself if he so wished, but only with the help of Zeke, am I correct?" Ratchet asked.
"In theory, any pokemon and trainer could accomplish anything, as long as their bond if strong enough. It's the same with mega evolution" I explained.
"Evolution?" Jack asked.
"Think of it, like, pokevolution" I said. "A pokemon can evolve, and once it has, it can't go back to its previous form. Like charmander, he has three evolution stages, charmander, charmeleon, and then charizard. It's kind of like leveling up in a video game" I explained further.
"So, what's mega evolution?"
"Mega evolution is accomplished with one main thing and one minor thing. A key stone and mega stone, for instance, either a mega charizardite y or x for charizard. The key stone is for the trainer, while the mega stone is for the pokemon. This is the minor thing, the major thing is a strong bond. There have been instances of pokemon mega evolving without mega stones and key stones, for instance, greninja can mega evolve without a mega stone, because it doesn't even have one" I said.
"That is, very interesting" Raf said, lifting up his glasses.
Meanwhile, at a decepticon energon mine.
"What is he doing here?" Arcee asked, noticing Darkrai behind her.
"I was told by my trainer to come here, so I did" Darkrai simply answered in his ghostly voice, sending chills down most of the bots.
"So be it" Optimus said, moving forward into the mine. Dakrai then sunk into the shadows and followed them at the same speed as they started driving. Once the decepticons started firing, some noticed that others were suddenly falling to the ground, without even being shot at. It didn't take them long to be struck with fear as they noticed the shadow moving around. Darkrai moved into the main part of the room where he saw a red bot cut in half dripping a purple liquid.
"I have visual on a red bot" Darkrai said, appearing behind Arcee. "He is leaking purple liquid similar to energon"
"Cliff!" Arcee exclaimed.
"Go, we will cover you" Optimus ordered. Arcee sped up as the bots started shooting. Darkrai heard something above in a tunnel approaching. He went into the shadows and started moving up towards the tunnel. After Arcee was forced to drop the bot, a different looking con strode to the spot Darkrai was looking at.
"Optimus Prime, I'd stay, but, I have other business to attend to" A gray decpticon with a red spike and wings was hold a cylinder object.
"Hello" Darkrai said, appearing right in front of the con, and the con screamed like a little kid.
"Eeekkk!" He squealed. He dropped the object and flew out of the mine.
"Grenade!" Bulkhead exclaimed.
"Maximum Overdrive!" Optimus yelled turning around. Darkrai shot down the tunnel after the bots. "Ratchet! Use the coordinates from our arrival, now!" Optimus said over the com. Darkrai shot through the bridge as the blue explosion followed him.
"Cutting it a little close, don't you think?" Ratchet asked. I noticed that Arcee was wavering.
"Hey, you've got a dangerous, purple looking energon thing on you" I pointed out. Ratchet walked over and scooped up a sample with a glass looking plate.
"Go take a decontamination bath" Ratchet ordered. Arcee walked over to the machine.
"So, what happened?" I asked.
"It seemed that the bot was butchered…like the experiments from the war in Kalos, team Plasma, or…team Rocket" Darkrai responded.
"That's…pretty bad" I responded, getting gruesome images out of my head.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"We are going to be out of communications range for quite some time" Optimus responded, at this time Ekans started to say some things.
"Ekans says that they're going to be fighting cybertronian zombies" Darkrai informed me.
"Alright, don't die" I said as the two walked into the ground bridge.
Note: Darkness Rising 3
"So, what's on the activities list?" Jack asked.
"I'm going on patrol" Arcee responded.
"But Optimus told us to stay here" Bulkhead told her.
"When you're in charge, you can call the shots" Arcee and Bumblebee then rolled out.
"So, what's on the activity list?" Bulkhead asked, however, the proximity censor went off. I quickly returned my pokemon, jumped behind the couch, and stayed low.
"Prime!" I heard a voice yell.
"Agent Fowler, uh, nobody's here, except me, of course"
"Don't tell me, Prime plans on squashing a mega mall?" The voice yelled. I started to zone out, more focused on staying quiet.
"You brought civilians into this?!" The voice exclaimed. I looked from under the couch the couch and saw that the three teens were in sight of the man. I saw the four look at the couch a few times.
"Why do you keep looking at that couch?" He asked. My eyes went wide as he started to walk over to the couch. I made my move and rolled behind the T.V. right before he peered over the couch.
"Someone take a nap over here?"
"Uh, yes, Miko here gets very…tired" Jack said.
"Alright, well, you three are coming with me, it's for your own protection" Before Bulkhead even tried something, I let Darkrai out and ordered a move.
"Quick, Darkrai, use nightmare!" Before the man could react, he was hit with a black and red ball. He immediately fell down to the ground, asleep.
"What happened to him?" Miko asked.
"He's asleep, the only problem, is, he's experiencing nightmares" I responded. "I think I'm going to go out and get something to eat" I said, walking through a ground bridge that Raf made, taking me to a place called, K.O. Burger. I walked in, pokeballs in my pack, and ordered my food. I ate my food and walked outside of the restaurant. I didn't like what I saw in the sky above me, a flying con. I ran across the road and into the open desert. I looked to the sky and noticed the con was following me. I ran faster but couldn't avoid the ground bridge that opened in front of me, I could've avoided it, if an explosion didn't happen behind me, launching me into the ground bridge. I landed on a metal surface and immediately jumped to the right, effectively dodging a clawed hand. I pulled out all six pokeballs and put them on my belt. I jumped forward and dodged the hand again. I noticed a different con that was trying to grab me. He looked like he was wearing heals.
"Wait a second, are you wearing heals?" I asked, confused. That's when I noticed the con beside him, one with no face. He obviously was confused, and the one with no face pulled up a few images. "Those" I said, taking off down the hall.
"Alright, alright, which of my team would be most helpful here?" I asked myself. "Tell yourself, if you were a cybertronian, what would you be afraid of?" I asked. I could hear the two easily catching up with me.
"Not a snake, not a ghost, not an alligator, not a lizard, not a bird, maybe…maybe, a bee?"
Alright, I'm not going to go further from here, I'll do the rest of darkness rising 3 in the next chapter, however, I need to get two chapters done for my other stories, I don't want to leave a story for longer than 2 weeks. That is, until I finish the story.
