Chapter 81

Rumble One was not an average Rumble. As the only surviving member of his nest, he no longer bore the burden of the collective mind, allowing him to think for himself. He found two others who, like him, were the last. They were his comrades, his brother and sister, Rumble Two and Rumble Three. They were later found by Coby, who saw them for what they had become. Ever since then, they were a special team in the Cybertron Army.

Of course, being Rumbles, they were genderless, but that didn't stop Rumble Three from having a rather feminine personality. It was probably because the violet Rumble hung out with Lori for two weeks.

"(Penny for thoughts, brother)" Rumble Two said.

"(Just question)" Rumble One answered. "(We sentient?)"

"(Brother, believe, it better not to ask questions like. Enjoy what have, intelligence; free will)" Rumble Three said.

"(Intelligence only ability choose, not ability understand right from wrong)" Rumble One insisted. "(We no talk intelligent also)"

"Are you three just going to sit there and talk in a language we can't understand, or are you going to help us?" Autovolt yelled. The three of them simultaneously sighed and headed towards the group that consisted of Autovolt, Live Convoy, Coby, Lori, and Hop.

"(Lori in pain?)" Rumble Three asked.

"(Don't ask)" Hop stated.

Coby and Lori told them everything that happened when Skywarp attacked. Rumble One quickly filed away the information, making connections in an attempt to solve the mystery about the attacker.

"Skywarp," Live Convoy muttered. "Skywarp. Where have I heard that name before?"

"(Shopping channel?)" Rumble Three joked. Rumble Two and Hop chuckled.

"(Quiet!)" Rumble One hissed.

"Of course!" Live Convoy exclaimed, hitting himself on the side of his head. "He's mentioned in my mother's diary as one of the crew members of the Flying Dutchman!"

"The Flying Dutchman?!" Coby and Lori both exclaimed.

Rumble One found the file and projected a holoscreen to show the others. It had a picture of the ship and an explanation:

Flying Dutchman: Cyber-Class Frigate

Constructed: 351135623.P. (aprox. 200 B.C.)

Most of the Cyber-Class Frigates were decommissioned and no longer existed by 4565645.A (aprox. 10 B.C.). The Flying Dutchman and its sister ship, the Black Pearl, were the only acceptations. Somewhere between 4565645.A and 125346.Z (aprox. 70 A.D.), the two ships escorted the Atlantis to Earth. The Black Pearl vanished from records soon after, followed by the Atlantis. The Flying Dutchman served as a pirate ship until Live Convoy's mother and predecessor, Flora Convoy, perused the ship into space. Flora Convoy returned and died soon after. No records exist as to what happened to the ship or its crew.

"I guess it's about time to start updating files," Autovolt shrugged. "Few records were kept by our ancestors, as they were trying to keep hidden from Humans. After all, until we met Galaxy Convoy and you guys," he nodded to Coby, Lori, and Hop, "Live Convoy and I thought Planet Seibertron was just a legend."

"If Skywarp is a member of the crew, that means that the ship may have survived, as well as the rest of the crew," Coby mused.

"You said Skywarp mentioned he was gunning for Flora Convoy's successor," Lori said. "Would that mean he's after you, Live Convoy?"

"Most likely," Live Convoy replied. "Rumble One-tachi, Autovolt and I are going to go look for this Skywarp fellow. You stay here in case he comes back."

Autovolt smirked, "Don't I get a say in this, you buzzard?" It wasn't that he didn't want to go; it was just playful banter between childhood friends.

Live Convoy grinned at the jibe, "No you don't, snail. TRANSFORM!"

"I'll show you who's slow! TRANSFORM!" Autovolt roared, racing after his friend.

Lori chuckled for a little bit before grabbing her abdomen. "Shit," she muttered, before running off.

"(So, what wrong with Lori?)" Rumble Three asked.

Coby and Hop now had the privilege to explain to three curious Rumbles the purpose of a woman's monthly cycle.
