"Kiss my chrome" Bumblebee taunted
"Okay, nice choice" Dead End laughed as he aimed at the Yellow Autobot
"I'm sorry Optimus" Bumblebee said as he closed his optics. Suddenly the sounds of blaster fire were heard, only his optics Bumblebee suddenly saw that Downshift and Beachcomber had joined the fight "About glitching time!" he shouted snapping his battle helmet down and transformed his arm into a blaster, taking pot shots at Drag Strip, running up to him and kicking the con in the head while Beachcomber leap frogged over Bumblebee and kneeing Dead End in the face while Downshift tripped Drag Strip
"No way you are B-127!" Beachcomber laugh as he fired at Dead End, who took cover and fired back
"we heard you were offlined!" Downshift shouted out
"Well, looks like my demise was overhyped" Bumblebee shouted "So what unit you with?"
"We were a part of the Sea of Rust exploration team" Beachcomber said
"No way" Bumblebee said
"Indeed, but it is so cool to be working alongside the scout who damaged the Nemesis!" Downshift shouted.
"What is going on?" Kushina asked
"Later baby" Minato said as they were hiding behind some rocks
"So robots, giant shapeshifting robots, and in the middle of the Storm Valley Rally" Shigure whimpered
"Transforming would be a better term" Nerumi said
"Yeah that" Masane agreed
"You certainly seem calm" Kushina stated
"We knew" Minato said
"Yep" Masane nodded
"WHAT!" the other shouted before an explosion was heard making wind and dust kick up forcing them to close their eyes while Bumblebee slugged Wildrider to the ground, Dead End kicked Downshift away and took shots at Bumblebee who fired back,
"Downshift, you good there buddy?" Bumblebee asked
"Never better B!" Downshift shouted back
"Good" Bumblebee said as he fired a stinger blast at Dead End before flip kicking Wildride, upon leading he checked on the humans who were racing in him "You guys okay?"
"Yeah, BEHIND YOU!" Masane shouted as Wildride punched Bumblebee in the face
"Beachcomber, where's out backup?" Dowshift asked using his repeater.
"It's coming" Beachcomber snapped as he bashed Drag Strip over the head with a tire.
The sounds of engines and thunder echoed through the valley making the kids scared and hide.
"What was that?" Nerumi asked as a red and white bike and a Red van appeared, quickly shifting again and firing at the three cons
"Shit! It's Ironhide" Wildride shouted as he tried to transform and run
"uh uh uh, where do you think you're going" Ironhide taunted as he started to fire one of the massive cannons he was equipped with, Arcee shooting at Dead End.
"Arcee?" Bumblebee asked as she slid over next to him.
"Bee?" Arcee asked "Is that you?"
"Yeah it is, man you look good, nice alt form" he said as he blasted Wildride with an electric stinger
"yeah you too" Arcee complimented her friend while shooting Dead End in the aft.
"FALL BACK!" Drag Strip shouted as he transformed and took off, the other two doing the same
"Alright" Ironhide said
"Now, that those exhaust ports are gone" Bumblebee said transforming "I have a race to win" he said as he gathered the humans and took off. Downshift and Beachcomber doing the same
"Did we miss something?" Arcee asked as Ironhide shrugged.
"Okay, okay once we finish this race I'll explain everything" Masane urged her team as they caught up to the rest of the racers.
"That was too close" Minato said
"I know" Masane said softly as her brother was now riding shotgun, she passed two more cars with the Autobots behind her
"We're in third" Kushina cheered
"And sadly there's the finish line" Masane frowned as lightning struck near them
"WHOA!" they all exclaimed
"That was too close" Minato muttered
"No kidding" Masane said as she continued to drive over the finish line. Once they stopped the group got out and looked at the leaderboard.
"Third's place nothing to sneeze at" Shigure said
"Yeah" Minato agreed.
"So, what now?" Nerumi asked
Ironhide and Arcee called in Bulkhead to head over, while they were waiting Ironhide looked up at the starry sky
"So, which one do you think is his?" he asked
"Who?" Arcee asked
"Optimus, we haven't heard from him in awhile" Ironhide sighed
"We'll find out what happened to him" Arcee said "As well as the others, including Chromia"
"My spark aches whenever I hear her name' Ironhide said looking skyward
"It's only natural" Arcee nodded
"yeah" Ironhide nodded as Bulkhead pulled up and transformed
"What's up?" Bulkhead said.
It was quiet, very quiet compared to the excitement of the race as the five teenagers sat in the garage, as Bumblebee spoke and told them what he told Masane and Minato.
"So alien's exist only they're living breathing machines?" Nerumi asked
"Fascinating" Shigure mused
"So you see why we kept it from you guys" Masane asked
"Heck; I only found out by accident" Minato told them
"What do you mean?" Kushina asked
"I walked in on them as Bee was in robot form" he said
"NO way!" the other three teens said
"Yeah not my best moment" Bee admitted
"So those other robots were friends of yours?" Kushina asked
"Yeah; Ironhide, Arcee, Beachcomber and Downshift" Bumblebee told them
"And you have a little something, something for Arcee?" Nerumi smirked
"Huh?" Bumblebee asked looking at Masane
"You like her." Masane explained
"Of course she's a friend" Bumblebee said
"In a more romantic sense is what we believe he is saying" Shigure elaborated
"What no way" Bumblebee denied.
"Anyway where are we going to hide the others, because I don't think out in the open is a good place." Minato said
"I can think of one place" Masane said.
"Oh great, so this is what the humans refer to as a junkyard" Ironhide said, the teenagers looked at Masane confused
"What are we doing in Glidart's junkyard?" Minato asked
"It's the only place I could think of to hide them on such short notice" Masane growled
"What about Gildarts?" Nerumi whispered
"Don't worry he's got military duty remember?" Masane asked
"Oh yeah, he got called up for his reserve duty" Nerumi nodded
"Poor Gildarts" Kushina sighed.
"he enjoys it since he's mostly in the engineering department" Minato told the,
"This is a nice place, maybe we can hook our gear up here and use it as a base area" Arcee suggested
"Good idea" Beachcomber said
"I hate to be that guy, but how are we going to set up a base when we didn't bring a stasis pod?" Bulkhead asked
"I got that cover" Bumblebee smirked as he pointed to a large metallic item behind him
"Is that your fighter?" Bulkhead asked
"How did it get here?" Arcee asked
"I don't know" Bumblebee shrugged.
"You had the Autobots at your mercy! And you let them get away?" Shatter snarled as Dropkick just smirked
"Originally there were three of them; Downshift, Beachcomber and B-127" Dead End told them
"B-127 is here?" Dropkick remarked looking excited
"Intriguing" Shatter frowned "So what stopped you?"
"Ironhide" Wildride told them
"He's here too?" Dropkick excitedly asked
"You're ruthlessness is showing" Shatter commented "I wonder, if Prime is nearby"
"Prime?" Drag Strip asked
"You think Optimus is on this dirtball?" Dead End asked shocked
"He has to be" Shatter said
"Oh well we will recycle him as well" Dropkick said
"Yes we will" Shatter smirked.
"And we're all set up here" Bulkhead cheered
"Good" Masane said as she and Minato walked over to them, "Let's fire this up"
"You going to do it?" Shigure joked
"Why not?" Masane laughed
"Time to power it up" Bumblebee said as everyone stepped away from the scout
"Anytime now" Ironhide said
"okay okay" Bumblebee said as he pressed a button and watched as they saw the new systems booted up "Alright"
"Good, everything seems fine" Downshift said
"So what's next?" Nerumi asked
"We find Optimus and the others" Ironhide said
"When did you become Unit leader?" Beachcomber asked
"I'm the highest ranking member" Ironhide said
"Good point" the Autobots said
"What is that?" Minato asked pointing at the screen
"It can't be, there's a ship in orbit; one giving out an Autobot signature!" Bumblebee said
"NO WAY!" they others shouted
"That means Optimus is probably on Earth" Arcee looked at the team
"Who's that?" Masane asked
"Only our leader" Bulkhead cheered
"No way" the humans gasped
"Can we locate him?" Arcee asked
"we will try" Ironhide gruffly said.
In the Okinawan countryside a red truck drove along, seemingly looking for something.
"This is not good, I have to find them before the Decepticons do" Optimus thought as he scanned the area. It was his current mission to look for his missing Autobots and one of the clues he got was a country in the sea, he thought that the smaller the location was the easier they would "Calling any Autobots, calling any Autobots in the area, This is Optimus Prime, regroup immediatley" he called over radio as a white and red van pulled up behind him
"Good to see you Prime, and I was worried that we were the only ones online" the van said
"Where are the others?" Optimus asked
"Mainland Japan!" the van said "And I think they have B-127 with them"
"He's alive, Ratchet let's roll out and rejoin them" Optimus said
"Yes sir" Ratchet said as the two Autobots picked up speed.
G'day Guys Grizz finally back here after being delayed in the city, so shall we get onto the chapter which has Ironhide's unit meeting back up with Bumblebee and the guys sadly come in third, and they all know about the Autobots and two more have joined the fic in Optimus and Ratchet; only they'll be back for the finally since they're in Okinawa. Alos you know the Cons won't just be sitting on their afts waiting I can assure you, hang on something is coming through
Masane was wandering around the junkyard, waiting for the Autobots to set things up.
"Man this place is a mess!" Masane said "Good thing they're already metal" she muttered before she saw a bright yellow light "what the?" she asked running off in the direction of it. When she got there she saw a girl with long black hair around her age laying on the ground "Hey you okay?" she asked as the girl got up
"Where am I? she asked before looking shocked "The Junkyard, but it looks...Mum?" she asked spotting Masane
"Pardon me" Masane blinked
"Are you Masane Amaha?" the girl asked panicked
"Yes I am" Masane said, before the girl hugged her
"MUM!" she cried out shocking Masane "I'm sorry; but my name is Setsuna Amaha, I'm your adopted daughter from the future, and right now me and several of my siblings have been scattered throughout time" Setsuna said before removing a pendant "and this is the only way to get us home, to you"
"Okay" Masane said as Setsuna closed her hand
"Please, don't forget that I gave this to you" Setsuna started to tear up, making Masane's maternal instincts flare up
"Never" she gently said pulling her into a hug and rubbing her back "I will never forget a daughter of mine, and we will meet again. Even if I forget this very moment" she smiled tucking some hair behind Setsuna's ears "Because you are important to me"
"Oh mum" she said before she looked behind her "I have to go mum, I'll see you later" she tearfully smiled as she vanished in yellow light, Masane closed her hand around the pendant "I'll save you"
"Save who?" Minato asked confused
"Someone important" Masane said shoving her hand into her pocket "Have they finished?"
"Yeah they have, come on" Minato said.
Just a little something that links this to the time travel aspect of Legacy of the Lost Roar of the Beast, which I'm working on the second chapter now as I'm updating this, and don't worry it will not contain any majorly spoilery from Rise of the Beasts since I haven't seen it; heck most of my readers would see it before me, but Unicron is not going to be in the Legacyverse for quite awhile. Maybe as the final boss for the entire shared universe but I still have a ton to get though including the GI Joe Fic.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
