"Come on, Optimus where are you?" Bumblebee asked as he scanned the area
"Still nothing?" Kushina asked as she walked up
"Nope, so how are you taking all of this?" Bumblebee asked as he noticed she seemed a little nervous
"Not bad, I mean it's not a big thing or that your kind has been here for centuries or something like that" she joked making the scout smile at the joke
"I'm sorry, to get more of you guys involved in our war" Bumblebee sighed as he looked at the scanner
"It's okay, it seems one way or the other we would have been drawn into war, especially Masane" Kushina smiled
"Why?" Bumblebee asked confused about what Kushina had said
"She wants to be an Air Force pilot" Kushina said
"A noble goal, our air force helped in the battle of The Tagon Heights" Bumblebee smiled before he laughed
"What's up?" Kushina asked
"There was only one location that no one would be allowed to fight in: Maccadam's Old Oil House" Bumblebee said "We could walk in there ready to frag and slag the other guys, but we didn't. House Rules no fighting allowed!"
"Sounds nice"
"It was, and they had some of the best oil" Ironhide gruffly said as walked over. "Sadly, we don't know the fate of it"
"I'm sorry" Kushina said saddened.
"You're serious huh?" Minato said as he saw his sister studying the JDAF handbook and test
"Yeah I am, and so is Nerumi," Masane said
"You realise it could be dangerous" Minato frowned
"No kidding, so could getting involved with alien robots" Masane laughed
"So, think this alliance could past our group?" Minato frowned
"Why not?" Masane said "Maybe once I'm in the air force I could do something about" she said tapping her feet together while leaning back, making Minato sigh. IT was no secret to him or his father that Masane was wanting to be a pilot for the armed forces alongside her best friend Nerumi
"Just...try not to get shot down, I would hate to hear about it especially from dad." Minato joked, earning a punch in the arm from his sister
"Jerk" Masane laughed.
"They seem close" Arcee mused observing the two
"Those two, yeah they're siblings. Not blood related one, but still siblings" Nerumi said
"Meaning?" Arcee asked
"Minato and his dad took her in, there's a term called Adopted, meaning a child becomes a member of another family. We're still not sure how she lost hers; but she got a new one instead" Nerumi explained
"Oh, well he concept of families, being born, blood relations and all that are forgein to us"
"How are you born then?" Kushina asked
"It's complicated" Arcee smiled
"Okay then" Nerumi nodded "So, you were in a war?"
"Kid, there weren't many of us that wasn't" Arcee frowned "Let's just say this was supposed to be a way to end the energon-shed" Arcee said "Find a new world filled with Energon, then head back and end the fight" she said
"oh" Nerumi said.
"Signal detected" Dead End said
"Where?" Shatter asked
"A small island off the coast of this place, the locals call it Okinawa" Dead End read out
"And what is it?" Drag Strip asked
"Prime" Dead End smirked
"Yes, finally we will return to Cybertron as heroes for fragging the leader of the Autobots" Shatter said as a new car drove up to them, seeing this car Shatter smiled "Ah Deadlock, how nice you could join us" she said
"It is my honour" Deadlock said as he bowed and walked over to the screen "Optimus Prime, his energon shall coat my blade" he said smirking
"It's been awhile" Dead End said frowning
"So, what of it?" Deadlock asked glaring
"Last we heard, Ultra Magnus did you in during the Siege on Praxus" Dead End said
"So how are you here?" Wildride asked
"Simple, I used the hidden lab in the sea of Rust to transport here and I have been in stasis ever since"
"Oh" the stunticons said.
"Moroids" Deadlock rolled his eyes.
"WE GOT PRIME!" Bulkhead shouted making the other autobots race over
"Where?" Ironhide asked
"Okinawa" Bulkhead said "And he may be heading here"
"Awesome" Arcee said
"But if we found him, that means" Ironhide started
"So did the cons, great" Bumblebee groaned
"So how do we get to him?" Arcee asked
"I don't know, maybe we'll hijack whatever the cons will use to get to him" Bulkhead suggested
"And how do we find that out?" Beachcomber asked.
What they didn't know was that Optimus and Ratchet were now touching down on Japanese soil
"Any luck?" Optimus asked
"Not yet" Ratchet replied.
'The Decepticons must be jamming us somehow" Optimus stated as he continued to drive along, his medic besides him
"I hope they have secured B-127" Ratchet said "What he did for us when we exited the space bridge is something that no one will be able to top" he mentioned
"It was a brave thing to do" Optimus commented.
"Indeed" Ratchet agreed as they sped off, unaware that Dead End had found them
"Targets secured" Dead End laughed as he raced off "And they're heading for Deadlock" he chuckled.
"LET"S ROLL AUTROBOTS!" Bumblebee said as he and Masane raced along the road
"Slow down Bee" Arcee shouted
"I'm detecting something up ahead" Bulkhead said before three military vehicles blocked the road, making the Autobots stop
"What the?" Masane asked as soldiers got out and aimed rifles at them "This doesn't look good"
"Miss Amaha, please step it of the alien" a familiar voice shouted, making Masane get out shocked
"GILDARTS!" Masane shouted shocked
'He knows about us?" Ironhide asked
"Hey kiddo" Gildarts said
"How?" Masane asked as two soldiers came up to her and got her into a humvee
"I'll explain at base, that includes you as well. I'm sorry that this is how we meet" Gildarts said
"It's okay" Ironhide said
"Follow us" Gildarts said as he got into his vehicle.
"WHO ARE YOU GUYS!" Masane shouted once she was let out of the base
"This is Nocturne base, a special base designated to help out with detection of aliens" Gildarts explained he said as the Autobots arrived "And recently, we picked up your friend in yellow" he continued. Masane looked shocked
"You knew about the Autobots?" Masane asked
"Autobots, is that what you call yourselves"
"Indeed" Ironhide said "I am Ironhide, the Autobot weapon specialist"
"I'm Major Glidarts Clive" Gildarts nodded
"What do you mean you detected him?" Arcee asked
"We have some of most advanced systems on the planet" Gildart said
"Sir, Mr Emerald is here" the soldier said
"Understood" Gildarts said as he headed off, "Take her to get something to eat, and you guys...what do you eat"
"Energon" Bulkhead frowned.
Up in his office Gildarts was surprise to see the headmaster of Masane's school
"So they have returned" Ozpin said
"They have coffee?" Gildarts asked
"Hot Chocolate if you please" Ozpin nodded
"So this is somehow linked to that damn order of yours?" Gildarts asked
"I don't think so. Since they have nothing to do with the ancient legend, however you are going to help them aren't you?" Ozpin replied
"As much as we can, but Nocturne Unit is mostly for dealing with Alines, if you want help with the Order why not head for the BRPD" Gildart said
"They handle different things" Ozpin told them.
"Um sir" a soldier entered
"What is it soldier" Gildarts frowned
"The aliens sir, they're gone" the soldier whimpered
"What?" the two men asked seeing the area empty "Shit!"
"We broke out of their rather fast" Masane said
"They expected us to stay there when Optimus is on his way?" Arcee asked
"Good point" Masane shrugged "Hey Minato, any changes?" she asked ove rthe radio
"Yeah, two cons, one heading away from Optimus" Minato told her
"And the other one?" Masane asked
"Its parked ahead of him" Nerumi said
"Shit" Masane growled
"And we have company" Bumblebee said as a helicopter flew over here
"Gildarts, no doubt" Masnae growled as she watched the helicopter circle them
"Should I blow them up?" Ironhide asked
"Nope, keep going. With any luck they'll help us against the Depcticon" Masane smiled.
Optimus and Ratchet were heading to where the second decepticon was, making them slow
"Well, well, well Optyimus prime in the steel" Deadlock snorted
"Deadlock!" Ratchet said "You were offlined during Praxus"
"So everyone thankfully thinks" Deadlock chuckled "Now transform and draw your weapons" he said as he did so
"I don't want to fight you Deadlock" Optimus urged him
"Too bad for I do" Deadlock said drawing a massive blade
"So be it" Optimus said as he drew his axe
"Optimus this is madness" Ratchet said before he was thrown to the ground
"Don't get up Doctor" Dropkick threatened, I would hate to spill yoru energon so easily
"Dropkick" Ratchet grunted before he saw Shatter and the Stunticons show up
"Face it Optimus you've been surrounded" Shatter taunted the Autobot leader
"Optimus" Ratchet said afraid for his old friend
"Do not worry Ratchet, for I believe that when the time is right we will be victorious here" Optimus wisely said
"Brave words from a dead prime" Wildride said as he pointed his blaster at him
"You're final words?" Shatter asked
"Till all are One" Optimus said brandishing his blade, while the Decepticons armed themselves with their own weapons.
G'day Guys Grizz here, and man oh man this chapter was interesting to write because not only does it set up Nocturne Base and Glidarts as a Major, but also is a call back for the Age of Kings' plotline of the Order of Camelot who was looking for King Arthur, brought in a sword wield Con who many may know who it is and surrounded Optimus Prime. Yeah not good, and while I'm at it I know in age of kings I called him Uncle Minnie but decided to explain the relationship they have as well as setting up Masane wants to be in the air force, which will lead to the event where a 10% of the global population is killed by the Decepticons.
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
