As Cor and Gladius were patiently and impatiently waiting for an answer from Optimus and Predaking, the bots' tanks rumbled loudly. Optimus was embarrassed while Predaking was starting to become crabby. "Forgive us, apparently the energon we consumed before crossing into your dimension has not been as filling as usual. We are in need of some form of sustenance" Optimus explained.
Cor sighed. "Fine, we will get you some food, but after that, you owe us an explanation" Cor replied. Seeing that there was no way out of this, Optimus nodded and he and Predaking followed Cor and the others to their favorite local diner. Optimus felt a bit out of sorts but said nothing, as he still knew it was dangerous to underestimate a potential enemy.
Upon reaching and entering said diner, Takka, the diner's owner, came out and greeted Cor and Gladiolus. Then Takka saw the new bots. "Who are they?" Takka asked.
"My name is Optimus Prime, and I am leader of the Autobots" Optimus answered in his usual manner, confusing the others.
"I am Predaking" the other bot answered. Takka nodded.
"Will you please make two hot humongo-steaks for these two bots?" Cor asked. Takka nodded and did as asked.
Soon, Takka returned with the food and set it down in front of the bots. Optimus and Predaking were slightly confused as while it looked and smelled good, they weren't sure if their systems could process it. But being the more hungry bot of the two, Predaking dove in first. "Wow, this is good!" Predaking exclaimed and continued scarfing his food. Seeing that Predaking could hack it, Optimus tried it and was pleased and stunned as he tasted the delicious food that his systems required in this realm.
Once the food was consumed, Takka thanked, and food was paid for, the real discussion began. "Now that you are fed, it is time to answer some questions" Cor stated, his intentions clear.
"Ask away, we will answer honestly and to the best of our ability. What would you like to know" Prime answered.
"First off, how do you two know Lancex? We've never met before" Gladiolus queried.
"We come from another dimension, a dimension where group I lead, the Autobots, are in a war with a group of evil bots called the Decepiticons whose leader wants to destroy everything and everyone that won't bow to him or swerve his purpose. Our battle is eons old and now is even more dangerous thanks to artifacts left by our ancestors on other planets in our universe" Optimsu started with and Predaking added his bit. "…and one day, during a battle, Lancex just showed up out of nowhere and began to help us."
Cor nodded, but Gladiolus wasn't satisfied. "So why are you hear then and not back in your world fighting your war? Do you intend to bring your war here?"
"Well, a friend of ours thinks we hurt Lancex and we came to see if Lancex was okay, and if he was willing, if he would return with us to help save our world" Predaking added, not wanting to tell of more private matters. Cor and Gladilos nodded, as while it was a good explanation and true, they could sense there was more to these bots' mission than to seek Lancex's help.
"Lancex is gone for now. He is out on a hunt and will not return for several hours" Gladiolus added. Optimus and Predaking didn't like hearing that, but seemed to understand.
As they were talking, Takka came to Cor and Gladiolus, asking them for some hunt requests. Cor and Gladiolus nod and then asked the bots if they cared to join in. Seeing that Lancex was busy and that they might understand more about Lancex, Optimus and Predaking agreed to go on the hunt. Seeing that the bots were without proper weaponry, they headed to Cid's garage. Optimus and Predaking followed, unaware that on the hunt they would be heavily interrogated regarding the real reason that they were hear.
