Chapter 2
A/N: unfortunately I own nothing but my OCs.
A black limo drove through the barrier surrounding the island, a few enforcer cars surrounding it. It drove up to Terraclaw's palace first; it was smaller than most, but just as intimidating.
A man with chocolate colored skin, black hair tied back in dreadlocks, a blue visor over his eyes, and he wore a silver jacket, with a white t-shirt, jeans, and silver tennis shoes.
"You alright Jazz?" the commander, Prowl asked.
"Why was I chosen for this?" Jazz asked.
"Cause of your great communication skills," Prowl said patting him on the back. "Good luck."
Jazz sighed and walked up to the front door and knocked. A moment later Terraclaw opened it, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you want?" she said flatly.
"Um…well, a new decree was sent out by Princess Moonrose to give the children of the Isle of the Lost a chance to live amongst us in regular society. Four lucky kids have been chosen to see if this works, and Miss Terraclaw, your daughter Skyfall is one of those lucky kids!" Jazz said with a wacky grin.
"You're joking with me right?" she said knowing the advisor's infamous joking personality.
"For once no," he said.
"SKYFALL!" Terraclaw shouted. "PACK YOUR CLOTHES!"
"WHY?"
"BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO SOLUS ACADEMY!" she announced.
"I'M WHAT?!" Skyfall screamed appearing around the corner of the stairs. "I'M NOT GOING! THERE ARE DOGS THERE!"
"Yes, you are, now get your things!" Terraclaw said.
Skyfall groaned, and went to her room.
"Alright," Jazz said. "Thank you for your time, Skyfall will meet us at the gate off the island in about four and a half hours; that should be enough time for everything to be ready. If you'll excuse me I have to tell the other three."
"Who's all going?" Terraclaw asked.
"Barricade son of Starscream. Midnight daughter of Arachnid. And…Bumblebee son of Megatron," Jazz shuttered.
"Oh, I know all of them, they're Skyfall's best friends!" Terraclaw laughed. "Arachnid, and Starscream should be on board with it, but Megatron…he'll be hard to convince. I recommend you do him last, this way you have us if you need help convincing him."
"T-thanks," Jazz said surprised as he walked to the limo.
Terraclaw smiled, before going to her phone. "Hey Soundwave, can you tell Megatron something for me, I think he'd like to hear this…"
-.-
Jazz walked down the steps of Starscream's palace going to the limo. ~Man, Terraclaw was right about Starscream being on board with this!~ he thought.
"Where to next sir?" a guard asked.
"Arachnid's palace," Jazz said.
After a minute or two, the arrived at another palace. Walking up to the door, a servant opened it.
"We've been expecting you Master Jazz," he said as he let him in. the servant led him to a grand throne room, where Arachnid stood with her daughter.
"You must be Jazz," the evil queen said with a smile.
Jazz had to admit, to him she was attractive. Arachnid, had long black hair, half pulled up, the other half fell to her waist, her violet eyes gleamed, and her skin was flawless. "Yes, I assume by the way her bags are already packed, you already know," Jazz said looking at the massive pile of bags.
"Yes, Terraclaw called me and Starscream not long after you left her place," Arachind said.
"Ah…so I assume you know about the issue with Megatron?" he asked.
"Yes, in fact we all argeed to go with you to help you persuade him," Arachnid said as she walked to the front door. "We just need to pick up the others, and we can go." They walked out, and another limo sat near Jazz's.
"Get this stuff in the limo," Midnight said fallowing her mother.
The royal guards stared at the pile, looked at each other, and then began putting in in the escort cars knowing the limo wouldn't be big enough.
-.-
The two limos pulled up to the large black palace. All the guards seemed apprehensive, being startled by even the slightest movement of a running leaf.
Arachnid led the way to the front doors that opened on their own, no servants, no owners, just a dark grand hall with dim lights on the walls, giving the place an eerie feeling. They all stepped inside and the doors slammed shut behind them, and the few guards they brought with.
"Well…this place gets bonus points for the creepy factor," one said.
"Yea," another agreed.
The sound of approaching footsteps got their attention, and out of the shadows, Soundwave stepped forwards. The silent man looked at the group from behind his visor, and turned walking back the way he came. Midnight fallowed, as did the other Decepticons and their children. Jazz and the guards fallowed after a moment's hesitation.
Bright light greeted them as they stepped into the courtyard. Blinking a few time to adjust their eyes, they see Megatron standing in the courtyard his gladiator sword in hand. On the other side of the courtyard Bumblebee stood holding dual blades, sweat trickling down his face, and some blood going down the corner of his mouth.
The two looked at each other a moment longer before charging each other again, the sound of clanging metal was the only thing in the yard. The two sparred for what seemed like hours, but was actually only two minutes, when 'Bee managed to block his father's blade with one sword, the using the other to knock it out of his hand, he placed the swords at Megatron's throat.
"Good, you've gotten better," Megatron said after a moment.
Bumblebee lowered the blades and put them back in their sheath, looking at their audience. Megatron fallowed his son's gaze, narrowing his eyes at Jazz.
"What do you want?" he growled.
"Megatron," Arachnid said in a silky voice. "Our children have been given the opportunity to go try and live in the outside world with everyone else."
Megatron looked thoughtful, and Bumblebee looked skeptical. "When are you leaving?" the dark lord asked Jazz.
"In an hour sir," Jazz reluctantly answered.
Megatron nodded. "I will give you my answer then," he said, and waved Jazz and the royal guards away.
Soundwave was in front of them again and showed them to the door.
