In the last chapter, Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Voltshift, and Bumblebee investigate a Machination lead in Argentina, running into the Autobot Featherstorm who takes them to the Incan Temple the Machination are converting into a forward base, only to be spotted by two new arrivals: Shadow Raker and Razorpaw. Not only that, but the Decepticon ship: The Leviathan has set up a base on Jupiter's moon Europa with a small fleet.

Now, back to the action!

*River City. 12:00 pm*

A red and yellow Dodge Ram Rumble Bee with flame and lightning decals as well as the Autobot symbol on the right front door was driving through the city as if speeding from something. Said something turned out to be a squad of Vehicon troopers. He was actually transporting three humans. The first was a young 20-year old with short black hair, brown eyes, wearing a Machination medical outfit who was struggling to keep his cool. This was Michael Morgan.

The second was a young woman about the same age as the young man with blue eyes, long light blue hair, light blue lips wearing the same outfit as the other two. Unlike the young man, she was trying to keep warm by cuddling with the young man. She was Mary Michaels.

The third was the other young man, but this one was about four years older with short gray hair, a little scar on the left ear, brown eyes, and in a 2-dimensional state of being. He was named Stuart Lowe. "Do you think you can keep ahead, Thunderscorch?" He asked.

"I know I can, and I can dish out some payback for you three, Stuart." Thunderscorch reassured. "I'm glad I found you three after you escaped from that Machination facility near this city. I've also been calling for help. Stuart, how are Michael and Mary doing?"

"Not so good. Both of them are struggling to keep their new powers from going off inside you." Stuart informed, his voice filled with concern for his two friends.

"Then help better come soon." Thudnerscorch said as he activated a Thermo Rocket Launcher in his trunk compartment and fired at the Vehicons. Most dodged out of the way, but two managed to get caught in the blast of the explosion, destroying them quickly. "Alright! Got two of those damn Vehicons!"

"There's still eight more, Thunderschorch!" Stuart yelled in panic.

"I know, and I'm trying to lose them!" Thunderscorch retorted. "We have to get out of the city and find somewhere to hole up until help comes for us!"

"E-Easier said than done…" Michael groaned, heating up fast.

"Ask and you shall receive, buddy!" A voice suddenly called out on his comms.

Stuart looked out the window and saw Ironhide and Monsoon in their vehicular modes coming up behind the Vehicon group. Monsoon launched a grenade popped out of the top of Monsoon and launched towards the Vehicon group, hitting the rest of them, destroying them. "Whoo! Direct hit!" Monsoon whooped.

"Nice one, Monsoon!" Ironhide complimented before directing his attention back to Thunderscorch. "Didn't know you were on Earth, Thunderscorch. Good to see you still online!"

"Likewise! I didn't know you were on this planet!" Thunderscorch was more than happy to see an old friend here. "I've got three new Metahumans with me. Two need help badly."

"Come with us, but make sure you're not bugged!" Ironhide instructed. Thunderscorch did just that and once he made sure there were no bugs or other tracking devices, a ground bridge opened up and the three Pickup Trucks drove through.

*Happy Harbor. Mount Justice. 12:30 pm*

Ironhide, Monsoon, and Thunderscorch had made it to the mountain. Michael and Mary fell to the ground as soon as they exited Thunderscorch. Stuart exited immediately after them, allowing Thunderscorch to transform to robot mode. Michael was gritting his teeth together as he was finally engulfed in flames and seconds later, he looked like he was made of molten rock in a bulky form that looked like a more solidified version of Clayface, complete with orange eyes.

Meanwhile, Mary actually became gaseous as her new form had her hair become gaseous as well and constantly flowing. "What in the hell…" She whispered to herself, looking at her hands. "Michael, are you okay?!" She screamed, getting a good look at Michael.

"I'm not okay, Mary." Michael said, his voice deeper. "Why did they do this to us?"

"Because the Machination doesn't care about people. They don't care about human decency." Ironhide growled.

"Luckily, you're with people who can help you control your new powers and use them for good." Kaldur said as he walked over with Garth and Tula. "Now, you three are brilliant scientists from Bay Ridge, that much I do know."

"Yes, but I highly doubt we'll be able to get our lives back like this." Stuart lamented, looking at his 2-dimensional body.

"We will help you." Kaldur reassured.

"Then you can help us fight this war against the Machination, if you want." Garth offered with a friendly smile.

"Well, we'd like some time to think about that, mainly after we've gotten control of our powers." Mary reminded.

"Of course." J'onn said as he floated outside of the mountain.

"You know what? These three could be the start of a new base for us!" Thunderscorch suddenly called out. "Plus, I saved them, so I could try to help them!"

"That is possible." Kaldur put a hand to his chin. "By the way, Thunderscorch, how do you know Ironhide?"

"Ironhide here did a joint mission with the Wreckers back on Cybertron and we became best buds over our love for weapons." Thunderscorch explained with a smile. "We offered Ironhide a chance to join the Wreckers, but he declined."

"I see." Kaldur nodded, accepting the explanation. "Well, it is good to have a new Autobot on our side."

"Good to finally be back among friends, that's for sure." Thunderscorch kept his smile.

*Machination Laboratory. 40 Kilometers outside River City. 13:12 pm*

Venomsting, Dr. Desmond, and the Reach Scientist had made it to the facility and needless to say, they were not happy about the events leading to the trio escaping. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST THE THREE SUBJECTS?!" All three of them screamed loudly at the thugs guarding the laboratory, both human and Vehicon.

"W-W-Well, w-we didn't e-expect an A-Autobot to f-find this place…" The human thugs were pissing themselves in front of the three very angry scientists while the Vehicons were dreading becoming test subjects for one of Venomsting's less savory experiments.

"This is a great loss for us." The Reach Scientist growled. "Not to mention an Autobot found one of our facilities."

"Now, we must move all remaining materials to another facility. Fortunately, we have one in the Louisiana Bayou." Dr. Demsond remembered, still having a very annoyed expression on his face, even growling a little. "Still, there will be great reprimands for this failure."

"Wait, wait, wait!" A thug with long blonde hair, orange eyes, and rose red lips waved her hands up. "I did find this on one of my patrols!" She showed the three a strange red rectangular object with what looked to be the symbol of a Lion in the center.

"Hmm…" Dr. Desmond took it from her and scanned it. "This is similar to the one Lucas found five years ago. "What is your name?"

"G-Giselle S-Skye, sir." She stuttered, still scared out of her mind.

"Come with me." Dr. Desmond gestured in a much calmer tone. "I will take you to Lucas Boomer as he has a device very similar to yours."

Giselle sighed in massive relief as she felt she was being spared a terrible fate. "Thank you, sir." She went and stood beside the doctor.

"As for the rest of you…" Venomsting said menacingly, making the others sweat in fear as she turned to face the Reach Scientist. "Didn't you say you wanted subjects for a new experiment of yours?"

"Why, yes, I did. Glad you remembered, Venomsting." The Reach Scientist gained an uncharacteristic grin. "I've been wanting to see if I can take pieces of a Scarab and grow them into new lesser Scarabs and infuse them to subjects to create a new type of soldier that doesn't have to take a Beetle moniker."

"Now, that is interesting. I have a similar idea with these Vehicons here." Venomsting made the Vehicons shudder in utter fear.

*Outer Space. Oa. The Guardians' Chamber. Unknown Time.*

Hal, John, Guy, and Kyle had been reporting all of the activity on Earth to the Guardians who were expressing great shock at all the news. "I can't believe it. This Machination has only been growing stronger and gaining allies across space." Sayd said in shock.

"This is most concerning." Appa Aliapsa agreed before shaking his head. "You would think that four Green Lanterns would help keep them at bay, but we were wrong."

"You all seem to be wrong quite a bit lately." Ganthet said as he floated into the chamber.

"Ganthet! I thought I said you were banished!" Appa shouted angrily, pointing at the Guardian of the Blue Lantern Corps.

"I doubt that matters right now, Appa." Ganthet calmly retorted. "Where has your non-interference gotten you? Need I remind you that a Blue Lantern helped your Green Lanterns stop the Red Lantern invasion those years ago?"

"Ganthet, it is good to see you again." Sayd smiled.

"Regardless, why are you here, Ganthet?" Valorex asked calmly.

"As you all no doubt know, there is great evil on Earth. Luckily, not only are four Green Lanterns there, but a Blue Lantern as well. This will help them greatly. However, I have sensed a Red Lantern ring heading towards Earth." Ganthet revealed.

"What?!" Appa shouted. "Are you sure?!"

"I would not be here back on Oa if I wasn't." Ganthet calmly replied.

"Do you suggest anything, Ganthet?" Sayd asked.

"Not at the moment, but I'll think of something." Ganthet smiled slightly at Sayd. "Now, we all know about the Cybertronian race and the war within itself. I feel more Lanterns may need to be on Earth in the future."

"That's not for you to decide!" Appa retorted.

"You are right. Seems that banishing me was the best decision you made in recent years." Ganthet commented. "One last thing before I take my leave: All will be well." With that, the Guardian of the Blue Lantern Corps floated out of the chamber, leaving the other Guardians in their thoughts.

Hello, everyone. I hope you all liked this chapter of Young Justice: Frontiers. We meet a new Autobot named Thunderscorch who is a Wrecker transporting three new metahumans: Michael Morgan, Mary Michaels, and Stuart Lowe, aka: Magma, Freon, and 2-D Man. The four get helped out thanks to Ironhide and Monsoon. Thankfully, they made it back to Mount Justice where they are offered to join the heroes and fight the good fight.

As you could expect, Venomsting, Dr. Desmond, and the Reach Scientist were not happy about the news. Though, one named Giselle Skye is spared when she shows that she has an Advent Deck while the others won't be the same again. So, this is a rare loss for the Machination.

We also finally visit Oa and the Guardians, including Ganthet who is back despite his banishment to inform his people about events on Earth. Now, in this story, events of Green Lantern: The Animated Series already took place, so Sayd hasn't joined Ganthet, yet. Now, I know the Guardians are about non-emotion with the exception of Ganthet, but Appa Aliapsa clearly expresses vanity more than anything.

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

Ps: These three are from the one off episode of season 1 of Batman Beyond: Heroes. I've made them a lot younger for the purposes of this story. Also, Michael and Mary are struggling to keep their new powers in check while Stuart is having a much easier time than them.
