Hello, bots and cons, heroes and villains. Centurion Maximo here and welcome back to Young Justice: Frontiers. In the last chapter, Miss Martian, Superboy, Superman, and Blue Lantern comforted and questioned a Krolotean. We also see the Autobot ship: The Xanthium and some of its crew.

Meanwhile, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, two Green Lanterns, Martian Manhunter, Captain Atom, Black Canary, and Nightwing discuss seeing Bludgeon and rescuing Cheshire as well as what the Machination is doing to the remaining members of the Light still out there.

Here is the OC/Story Contributor list so far:

I hope this list expands in the future.

Now, back to the action!

*Isla Santa Prisca. 04:00 am*

Admiral Hook had parked the cloaked Stormtide near the island's edge as usual. He was just here for a resupply. Since Hammerstrike had joined up with his old comrade Blackfang, he'd had to go out and get new members. Luckily, he still had Storm Surge and Ragebyte. "Alright, Brinespike, welcome to one of our bases." Hook grinned.

A black Mini-Con with red eyes. purple stripes, and many needle-sharp spines walked up beside Admiral Hook. "Isla Santa Prisca. You sure this is one of your Machination bases?"

"Yes, Brinespike." Admiral Hook assured. "This is where the Stormtide was constructed as well as the mass-production facility of the Kobra Venom formula."

More footsteps were heard. The two turned around to see a red-orange Mini-Con with green optics and five large arms on the back. "You've never told us what we're doing here."

"Simple, Spikestar. Just picking up some supplies to get back out in the open sea right away." Admiral Hook answered. "Right, Bright Ink?"

"Oh, I heartily agree, sir." A red feminine Mini-Con with a yellow stripe on each side and bright blue spots answered.

"Glad you do, Bright Ink." Hook smirked.

"Captain, we're ready to head underway when you are!" A new voice called out. An orange cybertronic Atlantic Lobster was sticking its head out.

"Of course, Bisk." Hook smiled. "Let's get to work."

*Machu Picchu, Peru. 07:12 am*

Blue Beetle, Bumblebee, Wonder Girl, and Voltshift were investigating a potential Machination lead in Peru. "I hope we find something here." Voltshift commented.

"We're bound to find a lead to the Machination." Wonder Girl remained optimistic.

"It would be prudent to search every inch." Blue Beetle commented.

"A logical conclusion, Jaime Reyes." The scarab complimented. "Though, I recommend an aerial search." Blue Beetle took to the sky to begin a scan.

"Huh?" Blue Beetle asked out loud when his sensors detected a red and black robotic Condor soaring above them higher in the sky. "A robotic Condor?"

Bumblebee got a better look at the robotic Condor and saw the Autobot symbol on the right wing. "It's an Autobot!" He said happily.

The Condor, seeing Bumblebee and Voltshift, made its way down to the group and transformed to robot mode. "More Autobots? Thank Primus!"

"Who are you?" Voltshift asked, curious.

"I'm Featherstorm." Featherstorm introduced. "I've been here for about 15 Earth years now." He noticed Blue Beetle and Wonder Girl standing beside Bumblebee, he gained a curious expression. "Are these humans?"

"Yes. However, there aren't ordinary humans. These are superheroes." Bumblebee smiled.

"I see. However, I've heard rumors about superpowered humans joining up with the Decepticons, forming this Machination about five years ago." Featherstorm brought up.

"Maybe you know a lead on them here." Blue Beetle hoped.

"Actually, I've heard that there's been Machination activity near an Incan temple a few miles from here." Featherstorm revealed.

The group were happy to hear this. "Can you lead us there?" Wonder Girl asked. Featherstorm nodded. The group followed the new Autobot to where he spotted the Machination activity.

An hour later, the group had made it to an Incan temple that the Machination was converting into a new forward operating base. "They're making it into a base." Wonder Girl whispered, disgusted with what they were doing to the ancestral temple.

"Jamie Reyes, I recommend calling for backup for this upcoming battle." The Scarab suggested.

However, blaster fire erupted just behind them. "You shouldn't have come here!" A voice shouted loudly. The group turned around to see a black and purple modified Sukhoi Su-47 which quickly transformed into robot mode. "I am Shadow Raker. Your end is at hand." He brought out an Energy Katana and got into a combat stance.

"Shadow Raker?" Bumblebee growled as he recognized that name. "You're one of Bludgeon's Acolytes!"

"Bludgeon's Acolytes?" Voltshift asked, a little confused.

"I'll explain later." Bumblebee answered, not taking his eyes off Shadow Raker.

"Please, Shadow Raker, you're not the only one here." Another new voice reminded. This time, it was a brown cybertronic Grizzly bear that transformed to robot mode.

"I was just about to get to you, Razorpaw." Shadow Raker groaned. Seconds later, about forty Vehicon troopers appeared, weapons ready to kill.

"Okay, we need to get out of here." Featherstorm insisted.

"Need a ground bridge now!" Wonder Girl shouted over her commlink. A ground bridge opened and the hero group went through instantly.

"Cowards. They fear us." Razorpaw gloated with a smirk.

"As they should." Shadow Raker added. "Ironically, thanks to our organic allies, we've made great advances on Earth."

*Outer Space. Europa. Moon of Jupiter. Decepticon Base. Unknown Time*

Four Decepticon Cruisers managed to make a base on Europa where they were close enough to the gas giant as well as the asteroid belt and the latter provided excellent cover for them. They could also harvest small amounts of gas from Jupiter.

One of the Cruisers had a much different design. It was a lot more spiky than the normal Cruiser look. It was also deep blue adding to the usual Decepticon purple. This was the Leviathan. Inside the bridge, a savage looking Decepticon with a blue and yellow color scheme with clawed hands, blood red optics, wings on both shoulders, and a very mean looking demeanor was standing on said bridge, hands behind the back. "Astraea, report." He spoke.

"Switchblade, we've received orders from Lord Megatron to wait for the go ahead." Astraea reported in a female voice. "However, we've been making strides while stationed on this icy world."

"I see. Shellshock, have you made any new weapons yet while being on Europa?" Switchblade asked.

"Unfortunately, no. It's hard converting the raw ice into energy for weapons." Shellshock lamented.

"Unfortunate, indeed." Switchblade growled. "Regardless, Lord Megatron has informed me that things have been proceeding splendidly on Earth despite the loss of the Andromedome five years ago. More and more continue to join the Machination's ranks. We have the allegiance of the Reach and Apokolips at this point."

"We can gather more allies and build a galactic Machination network!" A large black and golden yellow Decepticon exclaimed while walking onto the bridge.

"Let us cross that bridge when we come to it, Derail." Switchblade said calmly. "For now, we continue waiting. If there's one thing Megatron values from me, it's that I can bide my time and I expect the same from my ship's crew."

"Of course, Switchblade, but you know I get antsy." Derail waved off.

"I know, but I wish for you to temper that for now." Switchblade turned to face Derail, his optics glowing brighter as if to emphasize his words. "We will join Lord Megatron on Earth and the fight. I promise you."

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this new chapter of Young Justice: Frontiers. Admiral Hook has more crew members for the Stormtide. This includes three Mini-Cons: Bright Ink, Brinespike, and Spikestar, and the Decepticon Bisk who pay a small visit to Isla Santa Prisca.

Meanwhile, Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl, Bumblebee, and Voltshift are investigating a potential Machination lead in Peru. However, they do find a Transformer named Featherstorm who turns out to be an Autobot named who transforms into a Cybertronic Condor. Later on, we meet a couple Decepticons I'm reinventing from Robots In Disguise 2015: Shadow Raker who will be a student of Bludgeon that transforms into a modified Sukhoi Su-47 and Razorpaw who transforms into a cybertronic Grizzly Bear. His Mini-Cons Swelter and Glacius are no doubt on Earth as well.

Third of all, the Decepticons have a base on Europa with the Leviathan, led by Switchblade, of course. They're still waiting for orders from Megatron. We see the Leviathan's captain: Switchblade as well as some of the crew: Astraea, Shellshock, and Derail.
