Hello, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Their War, Our World. Quite a bit happened in the last chapter, but the most glaring one was Red Tornado just taking off, shocking everyone that witnessed it. They don't know why he did it or where he's even going.

Now, back to the action!

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 9:12 am*

It had been a couple of days since Red Tornado just took off to who knows where. The League members had gone to the Watchtower to investigate while the Team remained in their base. "I still can't believe he just took off like that." Conner muttered.

"Morrow's words must've affected him more than we thought." M'gann brought up.

"Who knows what will happen now." Artemis said.

"Probably get a new babysitter." Wally joined in. "I'm feeling an itch to do something, though."

"We can't really do anything without information, and right now, we have none." Dick reminded.

"Then we have to gather information." Neola said with determination. "Why don't we ask around?"

"That's not a bad idea." Dick agreed.

"Where would we start, though?" Conner asked.

"There has to be at least one witness." Kaldur voiced.

*Isla Santa Prisca. 11:29 am*

Lucas Boomer and Hellcrest were a little bored, needless to say. They weren't needed on any missions so far. Shimmer had decided to drop by for a visit. "Hey, Lucas!" She called out.

She startled Lucas for a moment before he recomposed himself. "Oh! Hey, Shimmer." He replied.

"Bored out of your mind, huh?" Shimmer asked knowingly.

"Yeah. Hellcrest and I haven't been needed so far." Lucas explained. "Right now, we're waiting for anything to come up."

"I got an idea. Why don't we go and have some fun today?" Shimmer grinned.

"Really? I don't know…" Lucas was hesitant with Shimmer's suggestion.

"Come on! This will kill your boredom." Shimmer kept her grin.

After a couple minutes, Lucas made a choice. "Alright, let's do it." Shimmer's grin grew from his answer. "Hellcrest, you remain here. I'll contact you in case we need some backup."

"Will do." Hellcrest acknowledged. After Lucas got ready, the two left the island for some fun. The two knew they shouldn't really be doing this, but maybe something good for them and the Machination will happen.

*Salt Lake City, Utah. Tommy and Tuppence Terror. 12:34 pm*

Tommy and Tuppence were on a mission of their own. Trying to recruit more people for the Machination. However, it wasn't going as planned. So far, they hadn't found anyone yet. "Ahh… This is going nowhere." Tommy complained.

"Look at it this way, bro. We're at least in an urban area." Tuppence commented.

Tommy sighed, but shrugged. "Eh, fair enough there, but our little recruitment drive is turning out to be a bust."

All of a sudden, an explosion went off. The twins couldn't really believe what they saw: A pair of twins like themselves. One was male that had yellow eyes, black hair reaching to the start of his back wearing a simple gray sweatshirt, and simple denim jeans, a little piercing in his left ear. The other was female with black hair in pigtails, yellow eyes like the other one, wearing another gray sweatshirt and also had denim jeans. "Okay, that wasn't bad." The female twin commented.

"Really? That's the best you can come up with?" The male twin asked with a roll of his eyes.

"Excuse me!" Tommy called out as he and Tuppence walked over to them. "Did you two cause this?"

"What if we did? What's it to you?" The female twin raised an eyebrow.

"Perhaps we can start over with introductions." Tuppence said, attempting to mediate any potential outbursts. "I'm Tuppence Terror. This is my brother Tommy." Before Tuppence could say any more however, the female twin jumped up and rapidly shook the blonde's hand.

"Oh my gosh! THE Terror Twins?! Randall! We're actually meeting the Terror Twins!" The female twin screamed happily.

"Sorry for her enthusiasm, but we're huge fans of your work. I'm Randall Bassett. That's my sister, Paula." Randall introduced. "We'd heard you'd escaped from Belle Reve of all places!"

Tuppence chuckled a tiny bit sheepishly. "To be honest, we didn't really escape on our own as much as get some help."

"Help?" Paula tilted her head.

"We've joined something bigger than just the two of us." Tuppence continued. "If you'd like, we could show you two." Paula and Randall looked at each other and made their choice.

*30 kilometers outside Keystone City. Kendall Pines & T.O Morrow. 14:53 pm*

Kendall, T.O Morrow, and Blackalert were taking a small drive from Keystone City. "Thanks for coming with me, Mr. Morrow." Kendall said.

"Of course, Mr. Pines." T.O Morrow replied. "We don't check up on you and Blackalert that often."

A few minutes later, the trio saw a bunch of people standing on the side of the road, guns in hand and seemingly talking to someone via hologram. Suddenly, more of these people had their guns pointed at Kendall and Morrow. "Get out!" One of them shouted.

The two slowly exited Blackalert's cab with their hands in the air. "Ah, it's just a kid and a geezer." A second person scoffed.

"Are you kidding?" A third soldier groaned.

However, one of them looked at Morrow a little closer. "He looks a little familiar." She thought.

"What is the holdup?!" An unknown voice shouted. Stepping into view, the source was revealed to be a tall man with short white hair with sunglasses, a visible scar going down from his right eye to his neck wearing a long black coat, black combat boots, and black gloves.

"Sir!" The soldiers saluted altogether.

"At ease." The man ordered. "Who are you two?"

"This is Kendall Pines. Surely, I look familiar to at least one of you." T.O Morrow grinned.

The soldiers murmured among themselves until one of them stepped out with wide eyes. "You're T.O Morrow! Someone took a picture of you during the attack on Happy Harbor!"

"The one and only." T.O Morrow bowed. "So, you've heard about us, Mr…?"

"Verlaine. Michael Verlaine." Verlaine grinned back. "What are you doing all the way out here?"

"Now that we've met, I propose you join us." T.O Morrow held out his hand.

"Join you?" Verlaine asked, raising an eyebrow.

*Happy Harbor. Shimmer & Lucas Boomer. 18:32 pm*

Lucas and Shimmer were laughing joyously as they sped away from a heist they did involving a few diamonds. "Oh, that was fun!" She laughed.

"I'm actually liking my choice to do this tonight." Lucas stated with a small smile.

"You should like it." Shimmer grinned. "No cops have caught us." Along the way, the two saw someone being pinned down by Happy Harbor Police. This was a girl that looked to be about 16 with short lime green hair, aqua blue eyes, a nose ring wearing torn black pants, indigo sneakers, and a black leather jacket shooting back. "Look at that girl pinned down."

"What say we help her out?" Lucas suggested bringing out his gun as well as putting on his mask.

"Let's." Shimmer they got close enough, Shimmer began punching and kicking down police officers while Lucas was bringing them down with well-placed shots. "Need a lift?" Soon, the trio were driving away from the police, the latter being unable to catch them.

When they were far enough away, they stopped and got to talking. "Thanks for the save, you two." The girl smiled.

"No problem. What were you doing there?" Lucas asked, crossing his arms.

"Oh, I was just passing my time

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. Bishop. 22:43 pm*

Bishop was just sitting around when his Autobot symbol began beeping. Reacting immediately, he answered the beeping and a hologram appeared. It was the Autobot Leader himself. "Optimus Prime!"

"Bishop. It is good to see you." Optimus Prime smiled under his faceplate.

"It's good to see you, too, sir." Bishop saluted for a moment. "Any news on other Autobots out there?"

"Not currently, but I want you and any other Autobots to remain safe, soldier. I am coming." Optimus said.

Bishop's optics widened. "You're coming here? To Earth?"

"Yes. Bumblebee has told me that you and other Autobots have made allies with superpowered human protectors known as the Justice League." Optimus continued.

"Yes, sir, as well as other people: Younger heroes simply called the Team." Bishop informed.

"Good work, Bishop. I'm impressed you are coming out of your shell, so to speak." Optimus added.

"It wasn't easy, sir." Bishop admitted. "It's still not, but I am getting there."

"That's all I ask, Bishop." With that, Optimus ended the communication. Speaking with Optimus Prime again put a smile on Bishop's faceplate.

Hello, everyone. I hope everyone liked this chapter of Young Justice: Their War, Our World. So, we get some personal time with Lucas and Shimmer together in this chapter. They may not have gotten permission to have some fun on the town, and they've wound up recruiting Jodi Baines. Also, some time together with Lucas and you like that.

Meanwhile, in Salt Lake City, the Terror Twins were on a recruitment drive and have met Paula and Randall Bassett.

On another front just outside Keystone City, Kendall Pines and Professor Ivo unexpectedly make contact with a Michael Verlaine who's boosted the Machination's forces by already having a small army.

In the end, Bishop gets in contact with Optimus Prime himself who tells him that he along with other Autobots are coming.

As usual, if anyone has any ideas for this story, please let me know in the comments/reviews, or personally PM me.
