Hello again! It's time to put 'em all together now! R&R please
This episode will of course unite the Autobots with our heroes.
And also regarding on a review by a guest, I decided to resize my capped TRANSFORMERS words.
Chapter 6: More Than Meets the Eye
As the ship was hit by an invisible torpedo, the Ark's computer systems began to function again. Teletraan-1, the ship's main computer hub, was reactivated from the shock of the blast.
"WARNING! WARNING! Unidentified attack confirmed! Rewiring Ark systems to full power!"
The ship began recalibrating its functions and circuitry as wires automatically relocated themselves to other parts of the ship. As more lights and computers were reactivated, there was a room with three pods in it. These three pods contained what remained of the crew of the mighty vessel. When the Ark came back to life, the pods' glass doors were opened, releasing a smoggy effect upon being opened.
Then, a pair of glowing eyes, blue in colour suddenly flashed in two of them, while the last one had a rectangular-shaped flash. As the gas cleared, three gigantic robotic figures emerged from their millions of years of slumber. They walked out of the pods. The Transformers have come back to life!
Star Saber was the first to walk out of the room.
"*groans* W-what happened?" The valiant Autobot looked around the room to find that only two pods were remaining. Out of them came Bumblebee, the feisty little warrior, and Jazz, the groovy and sleek one.
"*groans* Wow! I just felt like I took the fast track to the old Maccadams Oil House!" complained Jazz.
"Whoa. Tell me about it." said Bumblebee. The two were still dizzy in their processors (brains) trying to maintain their sight. "And where on Cybertron are we this time?"
Star Saber looked out a viewing port, to find that the Ark had been sunk deep many leagues under the sea. Jazz looked out at it and fell back on the metallic floor when a shark sped pass by.
"Well, *groans* wherever we are, it ain't like home anymore." said Jazz, rubbing his back from the fall. For the Autobots, this was something they had never experienced. Not a single Cybertronian at the time had ever encountered a world teeming with organic life. However, they were more puzzled by the fact that the remaining Autobots were missing.
"I don't see Ratchet, Ironhide, Sonic Bomber, Victory Leo and Dai Atlas anywhere." said Star Saber.
"And Hound and the Brainmasters." added Jazz.
"Let's not forget Cliffjumper and…" Bumblebee paused momentarily. "…Prime." He dropped his head down. No one would've thought that their great leader, Optimus Prime, disappeared into space.
"Yeah. Boss-bot vanished, just like that." said Jazz. "How are we going to deal with those Decepti-Punks?"
"Maybe we don't have to." Star Saber began to feel calm at the thought of the ruthless Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, who was also sucked into the vacuum-filled void of space. "Megatron also vanished, which comes to make me believe that the Decepticons had also become weaker from the disappearences. But in the meantime, we'll need to hope for the best."
"Right." agreed both Autobots.
"So… what now?" asked Jazz. It's a fresh beginning in a new world where the Transformers have first touched down on.
"I guess we should start by checking on the Ark's systems." suggested Star Saber. "Something must've triggered it to come back online and revived us somehow. We'll check the security monitors."
As the Autobots settled in to their ship, they gathered at the very hub of Teletraan-1, in the center of the ship. They checked where that something hit the Ark.
"Sensors indicated that the blast came from here at Sector 7." explained Jazz. "This might have hit Teletraan's nerve center."
"The only problem is; what hit it?" Bumblebee noticed that he saw nothing coming for the Ark when it was hit by the mysterious object. "I see nothing as far as I'm concerned."
"Either my optics could use a little tune-up, or that object might've been in stealth." Jazz's theory raised suspicion.
"Well, whatever it was, it better not happen again." said Star Saber. "One more hit, and we could be goners."
The Autobots took time to see to that the ship began its automatic repairs. They began to realize that they might just be stranded under the ocean for a long, long time.
~The next day~
-At Ken's house-
Back on dry, city land, Ken woke up quite early. It was seven in the morning and Minimon was still sleeping soundly. The blue-haired boy got up from bed and walked out of his room, leaving his partner to remain in his dreams. He went to check at the guest room where Cilan, the Pokemon Connoisseur was spending the night in. He wasn't there. Puzzled, Ken went to the kitchen to find that Cilan was already up and dressed in his usual waiter outfit. He was cooking up breakfast in Ken's kitchen. Oh, how Ken was glad to have someone around to make breakfast while his parents were away for one week.
"Ah, top of the morning, Ken." greeted Cilan.
"Morning, Cilan." responded Ken. "What's that you're making?" asked Ken.
"Oh, this?" Cilan was about done with it. "It's a little something I added into the pancakes that really makes the best out of everything!"
He placed the dish on the table and Ken took a bite out of it.
"Mmmm… Wow! This is great, Cilan. Thanks." complimented Ken.
"My pleasure." Cilan took a plate of the pancake for himself and sat at the table with Ken. "I added a berry very rare and only available from where I come from."
"It's delicious, Cilan." Ken smiled as he ate up his breakfast, leaving another pancake for Minimon once he arrived from his sleep.
-At Davis' house-
Meanwhile, Davis and Ash were still snoozing after a hard day's work. And, obviously, so were Pikachu and DemiVeemon. A few minutes later, the sound of loud and rapid ringing caused the raven-haired Pokemon Trainer to jump up awake and almost with a heart attack. His hair was probably messier than it was before he got to bed, twisting and turning as he slept in complete peaceful silence until the alarm clock scared the Gastly out of him. He checked the clock after waking up and realized it was ten in the morning.
"Oh no!" he yelled. "Davis! Wake up." He pushed the still-sleeping boy continuously, but to no avail. As the hassle continued, Pikachu woke up with the noise of Ash's mumbling. The Pokemon let out a sigh as he let loose an electric charge of Thunderbolt at everyone in the room, hitting not only Davis, but DemiVeemon and Ash! Everyone was dancing out of control as the shocks and jolts surge through their bodies and screams filled the room, much to Davis' parents' discomfort.
"DAVIS! Keep it DOWN over there!"
Meanwhile, Iris and Yolei were leaving Yolei's mother's sundry shop after obtaining some food and drinks to supplement the team on their next scouting mission.
"Bye, Mum! Put it all on my tab!" exclaimed Yolei as she and Iris ran to catch the train to Tamachi Station, where Ken lived nearby.
-Ken's house-
After half an hour, Yolei and Iris had finally arrived at Ken's house. The boy genius let the two in and they prepared the snacks for the Pokemon and Digimon. They dug in on the scrumptious food and refreshing drinks. The human teams gathered around as they strategized for their missions. This time around, Ash, Davis, T.K, Kari and Cody were in one group heading for Kyoto, while the rest of the group headed out to Odaiba. With their partners, they DigiPorted to Kyoto in a matter of seconds from Ken's house. The team looked around the area for any signs of weird activity, such as rampaging huge Digimon, or even small, feisty ones. However, so far, not a single sign appeared. All was normal at Kyoto. Cars and trucks driving along the busy road and pedestrians walking here and there, chit-chatting about all sorts of things worth gossiping about. Nevertheless, they continued to look into every nook and cranny of the city area.
~After one hour~
"*yawns* I'm bored." complained Davis.
"Stop being so negative, Davis." scolded Kari. "Just hold on for another half an hour and only then we can conclude our search."
"Fine, fine."
As they approached an intersection, Ash was wondering of a little problem he had been worried about just recently. He didn't really think about because of all the action that had been going on. T.K seemed to have noticed.
"Ash, is there something bothering you?" asked T.K.
"Hmm?" He snapped out of his trance. "Nah. Nothing. I'm just… worried."
"About home?" asked Patamon. Both Ash and Pikachu nodded in unison.
"It'll be okay. Just stick with us and you'll be home before you know it." T.K was always the one who brings the smiles and laughs to everyone in his team. This positive behavior gave Ash confidence and cheered up.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Ash, excited and with a fist up high." We'll be back home to continue my quest to become the number 1 Pokemon Master in the whole world!"
"Pika Pika!" agreed Pikachu, jumping with his partner.
"Wow. That's some ambition you got there." T.K chuckled. Just then, a huge explosion occurred right in front of them, crippling the road and forming a large crater. As they took cover behind some pipes in a construction site, they shot a glimpse at the sky where the blast came from.
"Pika Pika!" exclaimed Pikachu, as the gang looked up to where he pointed. Two silhouettes approached from the sky and got bigger and bigger as they landed on the crater from the explosion. As the smoke settled, the silhouettes began to reveal their forms. The first figure was a large, spider-like Digimon named Dokugumon, who unleashed its Poison Cobweb attacks, spinning poison-filled webs on the city, spreading panic among the passing crowds. The other figure, Gorillamon, an ape-like Digimon, fired his forearm Energy Cannon on the buildings around them. Pedestrians cleared the streets and cars rolled out of the action. The team didn't want to stick around to watch as the city was being torn apart. Both of them had Dark Spore flowers grown on top of their heads.
"Come on, guys! Let's kick some monkey butt and the Dark Spores!" yelled Davis, with high confidence.
Everyone nodded and made ready their partners for action.
"Veemon! Digivolve to... ExVeemon!"
"Armadillomon! Digivolve to… Ankylomon!"
"Digi-Armour ENERGIZE!"
"Patamon! Armour-Digivolve to… Pegasusmon, Flying Hope!"
"Gatomon! Armour-Digivolve to… Nefertimon, the Angel of Light!"
"Charizard! I choose YOU!" After his exit from his Poke-Ball, Charizard roared with a fire as huge as his body-size.
The battle began as Dokugumon made the first move.
"Poison Cobweb!" shouted Dokugumon. With the web coming right at Charizard, only for the flying Fire-type Pokemon to dodge the attack.
"Flamethrower!" Ash gave the order for it to unleash its searing-hot attack at the spider. Gorillamon pointed his forearm cannon at the flying duo of Pegasusmon and Nefertimon and began to take the shot.
"Kari!" T.K made sure his friend was ready to give Gorillamon a double treat. The two of their Digimon dodged the fired Energy Cannon and flew past each other, but not before their feet began to light up. After the maneuver, a bright golden energy string formed and grew longer as they flew further from each other. They moved in as the string grew to its extent.
"Golden Noose!" They swooped down and flew around Gorillamon, tying the Digimon's legs together tightly. This caused him to fall heavily on to the ground, letting out a loud grunt of pain and annoyance.
"Okay! Let's get them! V-Laser!" ExVeemon fired his signature X-shaped laser at Dokugumon. However, the spider Digimon just jumped and dodged the attack. Then, she countered back.
"Poison Cobweb!" The web barely missed him. Ankylomon moved in.
"Tail Hammer!" The spider again dodged the move and shot another web at him.
"Try it again, Ankylomon!" Cody encouraged him to go at it one more time.
"Tail Hammer!" This time he jumped with a short leap and crashed his flail tail down on the road. Dokugumon again leapt for safety. Suddenly, the ground began shaking as the whole city began to shake violently as well. The team on the ground was trying hard as they struggled to maintain their balance. The tremors, however, ended in just a minute. Ankyolomon caused an aftershock! The battle resumed as Gorillamon broke loose of the Golden Noose around his legs, returning fire at the fliers.
-Under the sea-
Meanwhile, the tremors Ankylomon caused began to move in a ripple. One of the many places hit by the movement was none other than the Autobot ship, the Ark. As the ship's motion sensors outside, somehow still functional, felt the blast, Teletraan-1 began to go haywire again.
"ALERT! ALERT! GEOLOGICAL TREMORS DETECTED!" The Autobots, who were repairing the Ark's main hub, quickly responded to the emergency alert. They all rushed up to the control bridge to figure out what has happened.
"This better be good!" said Bumblebee. Star Saber checked the computer monitor in the pilot section, having still damaged from the space battle that ensued four million years ago, but Star Saber was able to use the area of the control panel still intact from the attack. The monitor above them displayed a map of what appeared to be Japan. It zoomed in closer to reveal a city, which was obviously Tokyo, and again, closer until it viewed Kyoto. However, after attempting to zoom in closer, the screen went blank.
"Sir, the radar's still jammed from the crash." explained Jazz. Star Saber crossed him arms as he turned to Bumblebee.
"Bumblebee, activate Teletraan-1's probe satellite. We can use it to survey the area better."
"Roger that!" Bumblebee saluted to Star Saber before running to another computer at the other end of the room. Fortunately, this one was still completely safe. As Bumblebee tapped a few buttons, out came a small round satellite drone from the terminal. It floated past Bumblebee and made its way to a vertical tube at the ceiling. It then exited a small door outside the Ark and out to the surface of the ocean. As it splashed out of the water and into open air, it zoomed to the source of the tremors, where it was the site of none other than the battle between the Digimon-Pokemon team and the two corrupted Digimon.
-Kyoto-
Back at Kyoto, the satellite drone flew overhead to where the battle was taking place. There, ExVeemon was knocked down by Gorillamon and Ankylomon was being pinned down by Dokugumon. Charizard, Pegasusmon and T.K were already downed from their attacks, as Ash, Davis and Cody could only watch helplessly. Nefertimon and Karu were the only ones still airborne.
"Nefertimon, let's go help them and withdraw. We'll need to rethink our strategy back at Ken's." said Kari. Her Digimon swooped down to assist the team. Ash recalled Charizard into his Poke-Ball.
"Charizard, RETURN!"
Pegasusmon de-Digivolved back to Patamon, while T.K. hurt from the fall, limped slowly towards his partner and carried him in his arms.
:Patamon, you okay?" He was worried to the bone. Patamon shivered in pain as he looked up at T.K.
"I think I need someone to fluff my pillow." said Patamon, weakly.
As Nefertimon neared the team, Dokugumon shot her Poison Cobweb at her. She quickly dodged the attack, while Gorillamon joined the frenzy. The situation was getting from bad to worse as Nefertimon dodged and dodged the incoming fire. All of this ruckus was being watched by the small little satellite, hardly being noticed.
-The Ark-
As the battle ensued, the Autobots were experiencing mixed feelings about the event.
"Now I've seen everything!" said Jazz. "Some nasty creatures just come out of nowhere and start attacking those little organics and their pets, right?"
"But those little pets are sure powerful to me." added Bumblebee. "We should go help them, sir." Star Saber placed his chin on his fingers as he thought about Bumblebee's suggestion.
"Alright. We'll go help them." He finally made his decision. "However, we need to maintain some disguises. Not only will it shield our identities from those organics, but also to provide a low profile should our enemies lurk within." Losing no time, the drone quickly left the battlefield in search of some vehicles on Earth. It hovered over a military base and scanned an experimental fighter jet. Then, it passed by a nearby car showhouse and scanned a snazzy-looking car. Finally, it made one last pass to find a small, outdated but reliable little car. As it returned to base, it reached towards a chamber, which opened up from the floor upon its arrival. The door of the chamber opened to reveal a compact room. Jazz entered the chamber and the door closed. After five minutes, the door opened, revealing Jazz in a new look. Bumblebee soon went in and came out in another five minutes, also looking different. Lastly, Star Saber walked in and emerged out afterwards. Everyone looked at their new body armour.
"Cool…" admired Jazz.
"*sigh* It's not that much…" sighed Bumblebee. "…but as long as I can speed things up on the field!" He changed his expression into somewhat a hopeful one. Star Saber stood proudly. Now, with Optimus Prime absent for who knows when, he is now in charge of the Autobots.
~Prime…~ he thought. ~I'll do my best to fulfill my duty, until we can find you, I promise.~
He turned to his fellow Autobots.
"Autobots! TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!"
Jazz began the transformation into a sleek new sports car with numbers '4' and some racing stripes. Bumblebee transformed into a small yellow Volkswagen Bug with a black stripe lining up from hood to trunk. Lastly, Star Saber transformed into a large and powerful jet fighter, red and blue with a hint of yellow.
"Nice." complimented Jazz.
"It'll do I guess." said Bumblebee.
The door of a large chamber of the Ark opened, and seawater started flushing into the room. As the room was about to be filled to the brim, the Autobots lost no time before their ship was to be flooded. They quickly dived in from a ledge at where the water was not at reach yet. They then made their way to the opened exit. As they left the Ark, the door behind them closed. The water was drained out of the room by special drainage systems. The Autobots were speeding towards the battle zone. The Transformers are out in the open world that is the Earth.
-Kyoto-
Gorillamon fired a laser blast at Nefertimon and Kari, missing by a long shot. Dokugumon quickly joined in and spun her Poison Cobweb at the downed ExVeemon, only for him to quickly move out of the way, although he was hurt quite bad. Ankylomon also stood his ground and swung his Tail Hammer at Dokugumon and Gorillamon. This time it hit them both. The two were sent flying towards the highway.
"Alright! Nice shot!" cheered Davis. However, the two Digimon quickly unleashed their attacks on ExVeemon and Ankylomon, knocking both of them out and causing them to de-Digivolve back to their Rookie forms. Their partners quickly rushed in to help them. Nefertimon was the only one from her side who could still fight.
"We'll have to take them back to Ken's house, Kari. The situation is getting hectic here." warned Nefertimon.
"Right." agreed Kari, as Nefertimon flew to pick them up. Then, suddenly, Gorillamon launched an Energy Cannon at Nefertimon and hitting her with great force, dropping Kari. The girl soon found herself caught in Gorillamon's hands. She could feel the tight squeeze of Gorillamon's grip.
"KARI! NO!" Davis ran towards Gorillamon. "You leave her alone, you big ugly!" However, he was attacked by Dokugumon and fell to the ground.
"Uh uh! Nice try, human pest!"
"Let her GO!" yelled T.K, who was obviously as worried as Davis was.
"Yeah! Pikachu, use Iron Tail!" ordered Ash.
"PiKAAA-!"
"Wait! No!" T.K held them back and Pikachu quickly halted his attack.
"What's up?!" Ash was confused.
"If you do that, you could hit Kari! I won't allow that!"
~T.P's right.~ thought Davis. ~No way I'm letting Kari get hurt like this.~ Kari was desperately trying to struggle her way out of the grip but it kept getting tighter and tighter, as she moaned in pain.
"If you give us what we want, we'll spare your little girlfriend here." threatened Gorillamon, backed by Dokugumon's evil chuckle. T.K clenched his fists in complete anger. Cody looked at T.K and frowned.
~T.K's about to lose it again.~ He remembered T.K undergoing these fits of rage whenever evil threatened to make his day. He knew the two sides of T.K. One was the happy, cheerful boy who always smiled at the face of others he knew and loved. Another was the complete dark side of him, whenever darkness came to haunt him and his friends.
~What shall I do?~ wondered T.K. ~ I might just have to surrender.~
"T.K! Don't worry about me!" yelled Kari. "Just fight them!" She screamed as Gorillamon tightened his grip.
"Oh! I'm sorry." He laughed hysterically. "Well young man, if you want to save her, you have to give us what we want!" T.K couldn't take it anymore. He stepped up to the two Digimon. His teammates could only watch angrily as the battle seemed to be ending for the worse.
"T…. K…" Kari fainted as she couldn't take any more from Gorillamon.
"Okay…" T.K began. "What do you want?" The two Dark Digimon grinned at T.K's attention. However, no one was aware that there were spectators on the field of battle. A white and colourful sports car, a yellow Volkswagen Bug and an experimental jet were at the scene. The Autobots were watching the drama unfold.
"Oh no. That poor thing went offline." worried Jazz.
"I don't think so Jazz." said Bumblebee. "Looks to me that she's functional, but her lifeforce still seems to be faint." He noticed her weak breathing (although they probably never understood the word if they were told by it).
"Sir, I think we have to jump in!" suggested Jazz, with a voice of dedication.
"He's right, sir! There's no other way. We can just sit here and do nothing. All of life is essential to this planet." said Bumblebee. Star Saber thought to himself.
~I guess I have no choice. As much as I would hate myself for putting us in jeopardy for being seen by the locals and our enemies, I can't sacrifice one sentient being so that we can preserve our dignity! I can't one life be torn apart because of this senseless fight."
He zoomed in for the Digimon, followed by Jazz and Bumblebee. As they began to come to terms with the DigiDestined, Dokugumon was about to begin the negotiations, when she turned her head to hear the noises of jet engines and vrooming her way. Soon, everyone turned and looked at the same direction. They spotted two cars and a jet fighter speeding right for them.
"W-What's that?!" she screamed. Gorillamon and the team were just as surprised and curious.
~This is what Optimus would want~ wondered Star Saber.
"AUTOBOTS! TRANSFORM!" The three vehicles began to shape-shift into three towering robots, each with a different body structure and pose after transformation. They landed on the ground just meters away. Everyone was having the greatest shock of their lives! Three tall and strong robots appeared right in front of them. This was even weirder than Ash's arrival in this world. He was also as stunned to see these mysterious robots in disguise.
"A-A-Are these… Digimon?"
"Pika Pika?"
"I'm afraid not, Ash!" said Armadillomon.
"Then… what are THEY?!" yelled Davis.
"WHO OR WHAT ARE YOU?!" asked the two Dark Digimon loudly and distressed. However, they didn't answer. Star Saber drew his sword out from behind his back and prepared himself in an attack position. Bumblebee and Jazz also pulled out their weapons, ready for battle. Star Saber leapt forward. The Transformers are ready to fight!
"AUTOBOTS, ATTACK!"
The Autobots have finally awakened and showed themselves to our heroes, but will this be the start of a new alliance? Find out on the next episode!
Fin! Was it good? Hope so. Do R&R and tell me what you think! Thanks for your support!
