Carline was walking the halls of Ashford Academy when she heard Nunnally crying; it had been a week since Rolo's death at the hands of Underminer.

"No one is to face the Decepticons or Dark beast without Neo Knightmare frames." Lelouch coldly decreed. "And that goes for the knights of the round" he added. "Yes your highness" Sabrina said walking out. "Lelouch, what happened with Rolo, for once I'm at a strange lost of words" Cornelia said. "Why did he do that?" Lelouch asked "To give the others time" Cornelia said. "But IT got away!" "I know the others will get an eye out for it. But for now get some rest" Cornelia said. "But!" "Go relax, Kallen's in Japan safe and sound and Euphie is there looking after her" she continued. Lelouch made he's way out of the throne room.

"I can't believe he's gone" Jake said "I know, it seems only yesterday he was warning us" Rad said "The girls are with Nunnally, so they won't be here" Kicker said. "What should we do?" jake asked. "They didn't find his body so I don't know" Coby said. "Wait, that's it!" Jake said. "No its not, they checker for the use of Geass and was present there" Rad said. "Okay so he didn't use Geass to escape," Jake said. "So now we've lost a good friend and have no way of getting him back" Kicker said sadly. "I'm going to check on the girls." Rad said
"I'm telling you Rodimus, Rolo cannot be alive" Springer said looking at the charred spot. "I know but it was like the matrix of leadership was telling me that he survived." Rodimus said. "The Matrix of Leadership, told you?" Springer asked. "Yes, I don't know how" Rodimus said. "Okay so, we've got physical reports saying that Rolo's dead, but the matrix says otherwise" Springer said. "Affirmative" Rodimus said. "This is intriguing" Blur said. "Very interesting" Wrench said. "What?" Rodimus asked. "An Autobot cruiser was seen exiting sub space a couple of hours ago" Wrench said. "Let's get to NEST and find out who's on that cruiser" Rodimus said.

"Sir we've arrived" Ratchet said. "Thank you Ratchet, Ironhide set the course" Optimus said. "Yes sir" Ironhide said. "Jetfire; how are we looking?" Optimus asked. "We've been detected by the Ashford Academy team. No Cons on scope" Jetfire said. "Good, tell Elita's team to disembark first" Optimus said.
"Alright, Hound, Inferno, Trailbreaker, Jolt and Wheeljack; you're up, followed by Sideswipe the triplets, Skids and Mudflap, Hotshot and Silverbolt; the last team Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, Jetfire and Ironhide will depart with Optimus" Ultra Magnus said. "Finally we get back to Earth" Skids said "But the atmosphere here, it's wrong not cheery as it should be" Bumblebee said. "The Dark beasts have no doubt changed this atmosphere of joy into one of fear" Ironhide said. "No; that's not all" Elita said. "Then what is it?" Ironhide asked. "It is sorrow and morning. Someone has died" Elita said. "What?" Wheeljack asked. "That's why Optimus wanted us here, to insure no more deaths," Jetfire said. "But who died?" Bumblebee asked. "That is what we're going to find out" Ironhide said.

Kallen was sleeping when she felt a pain. She winced before opening her eyes to feel a second wave. "Not now! She's early" Kallen panicked as Shirley and Milly entered "Kallen, what's wrong!" Milly asked. "She's coming" Kallen groaned. "But, it's only been seven months, she's not ready!" Shirley squealed. "Get a medical transport and take her to the hospital!" Milly ordered. "Hold on Kallen" Shirley said. "Someone tell the Emperor!" Milly shouted out in the corridor. Suzaku hold it and raced to the medi-center "what's wrong?" he asked. "Kallen's gone into Labour" Milly said. Suzaku's eyes now widened.

"Optimus; it appears Empress Kallen Vi Britannia has gone into labour!" Ratchet said. "Ratchet get to NEST and make sure she gets to the hospital on time!" Optimus said. "Yes sir!" Ratchet said quickly disembarking from the ship. "I hope he makes it in time" Jetfire said. "So do I jetfire, but now I have been picking up an energy signature that is familiar to us" Optimus said showing Jetfire the reading "Cybertron Cloak Energy" Jetfire said. "Yes that is why I want you to investigate this and report back to me" Optimus ordered. "Yes sir!" Jetfire said leaving.

"Where's that transport?" Milly asked. "They are none available; they're all in for servicing" Shirley said. "Are you kidding?" Kallen roared. "I'm afraid not" Shirley said. Milly looked terrified, Kallen's early labour could kill the baby. "Come on Kallen, a medical transport arrived." Suzaku said, "But; they're in service" "Not this one" Suzaku said earning him a look from the girls "Huh?"
In the hangar with the back doors opened stood "Ratchet!" the girls cheered. "Are we glad to see you" Milly said. "Yes it is good to see you, now hurry we don't have much time" Ratchet said as Kallen was placed in the back. "I'll take the Lancelot Champion and patrol the skies on the way there" Suzaku said.

"Well Optimus was right something's generating Cloaking energy; but what?" Jetfire asked. "switching to infer-red" he said to see nothing, "UV" same again "Thermal imagining" Jetfire said as a knightmare frame stood present "What in the name of Primus, how could a knightmare be producing this type of energy?" he asked. "Jetfire to Optimus I found the source, it appears to be a knightmare" Jetfire said "Interesting, look into it and keep me updated" Optimus said. "Yes sir!" Jetfire said.
"Where am I?" Rolo asked "This isn't the Vincent's cockpit; Computer analyse" Rolo said as he felt his ribs. "Vincent Paladin series Neo-Knight Knightmare frame" the computer said "Vincent Paladin?" Rolo asked. "Hey, whoever's in there you better open up and explain where you could this kind of tech" Jetfire said "Jetfire?" "Rolo?" the two asked. "So where did you get the tech?" Jetfire asked. "I'm unsure" Rolo said. "So, this is difficult" Jetfire said, suddenly Jetfire looked alert. "What is it?" Rolo asked. "A pterodon and a Chameleon were seen heading towards a hospital" Jetfire said "Why is that bad?" Rolo asked. "Empress Kallen's in labour" Jetfire said. "What!" Rolo asked. "According to Ratchet she went into labour two hours ago" Jetfire explained.
"Remind me again why we're here?" the Pterodon Terrorsaur asked. "Because they're injured or sick humans and the empress is producing her organic sparkling" Underminer said. "So?" Terrorsaur said. "It's early by a couple of months" Underminer said. "Disrupt the power of this medical building and you wipe out lives" Terrorsaur said finally getting it. "Yes now that we got it, let's go" Underminer said.
"We've got to that medical facility and stop those dark beasts!" Gazer said to his falcon companion. "I agree however we must keep calm, for all you know that boy is fine" Airrazor said "Yes that I am sure of, however it is not his life I'm concerned with now" Gazer said. "Yes I agree those people in that hospital need our help" Airrazor said. "So what is our plan?" Gazer asked. "I have not got one at the moment" Airrazor replied.
"Rolo what new systems does this thing have beside a cloaking generator?" Jetfire asked. "Let me see, upgraded needle blazer, MVS, Improved Slash Harkens and RC VARIS" Rolo said "Okay, not much I take it" Jetfire said. "Maybe not on its own but in unison with the cloaking generator, it will be effective" Rolo said. "Okay let's try it" Jetfire said.
Suzaku and Gino were already at the hospital guarding it, "Nothing on scope" Gino said scanning the area "Remember we're dealing with Underminer, a chameleon who can become invisible to anything visual" Suzaku said. "Understood" Gino said. Menawhile in the bushes "Terrorsaur transform" he said as his body underwent its transformation to beast to robot. The underside remained in place, his wings were situated on his shoulders, his beast head was on his back looking down. "From the terror I come: Terrorsaur" he said. "I've got contact" Gino said. "Understood, Milly I need an update!" Suzaku ordered.
"Terrorsaur is here!" Airrazor said, "Airrazor transform" she said as her beast body folded up and her golden arms and legs extended out with her wings on her back. "From the swiftness I come: Airrazor" Airrazor said firing off her missiles at Terrorsaur. "What, Airrazor" Terrorsaur said. "Deal with it bird boy; Gazer find Underminer" Airrazor said. "I'm on it"
"Alright Jetfire, I'm all set up here" Rolo said setting up his rifle in turret mode. "Good, now we need to cover them as long we can" Jetfire said loading his cannon "Follow my lead, and hold on" Jetfire said looking at the explosion. "I'm guessing the assault already started" Rolo said. "Come on!" Jetfire shouted.
In the maternity ward Milly was trying to calm Kallen while she was delivering and keep an ear on the battle outside. "Keep pushing, you're alright" Milly said. "What's going on out there?" Kallen asked. "None of your business, what is your business is bringing this little bundle into this world unharmed" Milly said "But" "NO BUTS!" Milly shouted, "Sorry I take after dad" Milly said looking to her aging father. "Only in personality dear" Richard said. An explosion rattle the room "We may have to hurry" Milly said.
"Terrorsaur's getting more accurate!" Suzaku said. "We need the others!" Gino said "Understand, C.C Anya Nunnally the Dark Beasts are attack the hospital that Kallen is in, we'll need your help after all" Suzaku said. "We'll be there soon" C.C. said. "Nunnally and I are on route" Anya said. "Good I hope they get here soon" Suzaku said.
Terrorsaur was aiming at the maternity ward of the hospital when he was shot in the back "Whaa?" he squawked "Over here bird brain" a voice said. "Underminer do you see anything?" Terrorsaur asked. "Negative" The reptile replied "Then where did that shot come from?" the dinosaur asked."Over here needle beak" Rolo said from the turrets location "The boy, I thought you killed him?" Terrorsaur asked "I thought I did, there was nothing left of his machine" Underminer said as Rolo punched him "That's because you transformed my frame" Rolo said deactivating the stealth unit of the Vincent Paladin "Oh, no!" the dark beasts said as Airrazor and Gazer joined them. "Rolo it is good to see you alive" Gazer said as the others joined. "Let's send them back" Rolo said
"Champion's sabre" Suzaku cried out charging his champion's MVS "Sky Storm" Gino said charging the electro-storm gun on the Tristan Electro "Sakura Shock" Anya said as a barrage of energy petals were let loose "PHOENIX CLAW: MAXIMUM IMPACT" Nunnally shouted as her Guren's claw burst into scarlet flames, "NEEDLE TURBINE BLAZE!" Rolo shouted as his needle blazer shot out hundreds of red hot energy needles in a whirlwind like fashion "Gaze cannon" "Falcon Darts" "Rocket Shot" the transformers said forcing the dark beasts through a portal. "We did it, This is Phoenix to mother hen, all clear" Nunnally said.
"Phoenix this is mother hen, thanks for the update" Milly said relived. "Er, Milly help please!" Shirley said "Coming, how's she doing?" Milly asked. "She's nearly there come on push, push!" the doctor said as Kallen groaned. Finally after an five hours the loud cries of a newborn filled the room. "It's a girl" Richard said "Marianne" Kallen mumbled the name falling asleep. "Very well, I think that's a fitting name, meanwhile lets finds a incubator, this little one is still fairly un-matured" Richard said taking Marianne to an incubator.
"YOU I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" a voice roared as Rolo raced around the corner. Grimlock lifted his head to see Rad, Kicker and Jake racing after the first boy. "Grimlock think organics crazy" he said falling asleep, snoring as he did so.
