"So you're saying that those who were caught up in that bright beam were actually scattered throughout time and space?" Gray asked
"Yeah" Inori said
"Where did you go?" Masane asked
"New York City, five years ago" Inori told them
"And you guys find anyone else?" Gray asked
"Setsuna was possibly in South America 200 years ago" Nagisa said
"What?" Masane asked
"yeah, but the problem we don't know where everyone else is, past or future" Shiro said
"What about the Maximals, could they help us?" Rin asked
"I hope so" Edward asked
"Who cares" Yang snapped "We have a chance to get them back"
"And we will" Weiss softly told her "And that includes Ruby"
"I know" Yang said softly. Inori smiled as she remembered what happened to her.
INORI-Manhattan 5 years ago
Inori slowly woke up, groaning before gently standing up, using a wall as support since her head was still spinning. Looking around she frowned as she was now in a city rather than the dormant volcano she was at. She also felt the wind, looking down she blushes as half of the blue and white dress she was wear was now gone revealing her soft pink bra to the world. She acted quickly and covered her chest before walking out of the alley she was in. Upon see where she was she gasped
"I'm in New York?" she asked shocked before she heard some footstep behind her, looking behind her she saw some thugs
"Hey girly" one of them smirked looking her up and down "Need a hand?" he asked
"no thank you" Inori softly said scared
"We insist" the thug smirked before pulling out a switchblade and stalked forward, Inori was about to run when a rubber puck hit one of the thugs
"Purple Dragons, come out to play" a voice said as a young man holding a hockey stick was behind Inori
"Oh shit, not you" the thugs panicked.
"Hey language!" the man said as a girl with pink hair raced over
"Marcus everything okay?" she asked
"Its fine, Meems just playing with some purple lizards, though that girl may need a new dress" Marcus said
"Okay" Mimi said as she walked over to Inori "I'm Mimi Takenouchi and that Marcus Damon
"Yo!" Marcus said walking over with a hockey stikc on his shoulder
"Come on let's get you out of here" Mimi said as she lead Inori off, but while doing so Inori swore she saw a flash of red and green
"What was?" Inori asked
"Nothing" Mimi said.
Soon Inori was at Mimi's apartment enjoying a nice hot bath, her body immediately relaxing.
"You okay in there?" Mimi asked
"I am thank you" Inori smiled as she soaked. But now she needed to ask "Can I ask you what the year is?"
"It's 2028" Mimi said
"I've been sent back five years?" Inori asked "But I wonder what Autobots are active since Optimus is still being repaired by Blake and Shiro" she whispered to herself. "I wonder what happened to the others" she frowned. She knew that she was currently with hrer family in the junkyard. She was unsure how she was going to avoid the paradox of meeting her younger self.
"Why do you ask?" Mimi asked cutting through her thoughts
"Oh, I must have lost track of time" Inori called out
"Okay" Mimi said.
Inori was suddenly brought to the present by Henry
"You okay sis?" Henry asked
"Yeah, just remembering the past" she smiled "So what did we figure out?"
"Still thinking of a way to track them" Henry said
"Too bad we can't track the energy particles" Shiro sighed
"Maybe we can, but we need to know where which of our siblings are" Inori said
"Well, you were in New York, Setsuna is somewhere in South America. But we only know those because you guys were in the past" Shiro said
"That's it!" Nagisa exclaimed "What if there was a way to find out, but simply looking for people like our siblings in historical areas?"
"That might work!" Inori said
"But question is where would we even look?" Shiro asked making them all ponder before they looked at one another
"KNIGHT'S HOLLOW!" they all declared before the siren went off
"We're not expecting anyone right?" Rin asked
"No" Shiro said as they all rushed to the main area.
Jetfire and Jazz stood at the ready for a fight as the main alarm sounded, the other Autobots and NEST officers doing so
"Who is this?" Maes asked as he was nervous
"what's going on?" Masane asked
"Not sure" Ratchet told her "The space bridge activated by itself"
"Not good" Masane said
"HERE IT COMES!" Mirage shouted as the Autobots were ready to fire, when out it walked a figure they were shocked and elated to see.
"By the Matrix!" Jetfire exclaimed "EVERYONE STAND DOWN!" he shouted making the NEST soldiers look confused before they stood down
"Who is that?" Edward asked as they walked in
"Ultra Magnus sir!" Jazz saluted
"Jazz, Jetfire" Ultra Magnus said, "where is Optimus prime?"
"In here" Bumblebee said as he lead the Autobot's second in command to an area where Optimus' frame was
"Oh, old friend I'm sorry" Ultra Magnus said
"No offence sir, but why are you here?" Mirage asked
"We detected two transwarp energy signatures on Earth" Ultra Magus told them
"That was probably when the others were scattered" Rin said
"Scattered?" Ultra Magnus asked
"10 of our siblings have been scattered through space and time, but still on Earth, the other nine are here" Weiss explained
"And the 20th?" Ultra Magnus asked making everyone look depressed "You have my condolences, I hope they are in the human version of the All-Spark" he sadly said
"Thank you" Masane said
"So you can pinpoint where they landed?" Gray asked
"We can, but the reason behind the Transwarp energy is concerning" Ultra Magnus said "Because they are only used on ship, if there are being activated like this that can only mean one thing, something is wrong"
"Didn't Airazor say that Time is Twisted?" henry asked
"What was that, did you say Time is twisted?" Ultra Magnus gasped
"Yeah why?" Rin asked
"Oh no" Ultra Magnus frowned.
Mami was not in a good mood, she and her new husband were walking along the sunny beaches, with her in a new brown, yellow and tan bikini before a flash of light over took her and she landed up somewhere else, and right now she was being fired at
"I hope I didn't make them mad" she said as she hid among the ruins. Peeking out she saw who was following her "MECH, what do they want with me?" she asked
"She's around her somewhere" the leading MECH Soldier said "Spread out and search for her, if we get her we can get the other searchers"
"The Searchers, what or who are they trying to find?" Mami asked herself, feeling the sun start to burn her skin.
"OVER THERE!" one of them shouted as they opened fire making Mami scramble away, her body finding it hard to move in the heat. She was about to pass out when a bullet pinged of the rock she was behind
"VASH! YOU NEARLY HIT HER!" a voice said as a blonde woman jumped down next to her
"SORRY, I CAN'T SEE WELL!" a male voice shouted out
"Stop bickering you two" a voice said before a woman with light blue hair ran over to Mami. "Kuromu, I need a hand here" she said covering Mami with her giant over coat
"Roger that" a guy in red armour and a Large Riot shield as a blonde in a orange tank top and blue skirt raced over, she was also carrying military gear
"I'm Sergeant Mia Cyrus an officer of the Non-biological extraterrestrial Support Treaty" she shouted "The guy in the red who nearly shout you earlier is Vash" Mia said
"Hey there, WHOA!" he shouted with a friendly wave before firing back
"The blunette is Iz and the guy with the shield is Kuromu" Mia said
"Hey there, wow you're kind of pretty' Kuromu said
"And taken" Iz said "So how long have you been married?"
"10 days" Mami answered
"Oh just a newlywed, congrats" Iz said "hold on" she smiled before pulling out a large ball and throwing
"Like that will do anyt" a MECH goon shouted before it exploded
"My own recipe" Iz said
"Ah guys, where's Chisato?" Kuromu asked
"SHIT!" Mia snapped and pulled out a radio "Chisato where are you?"
"Coming in hot" Chisato said
"What does that mean?" Mia asked as Kuromu tapped her shoulder getting her attention.
"That" Kuromu said as he said an old airplane was flying towards them
"DAMN IT!" Mia shouted "ANUBIS TEAM HEAD BACK TO TEH TRANSPORT!" she ordered while opening fire
"Yes ma'am" he team shouted, Iz getting Mami up
"what transport?" Mami asked before Iz pointed to a carrier truck
"INCOMING!" Vast shouted as several grenade came at them
"Oh crap" Mia shouted as she tried to blast them out of the sky.
The team was quickly running as sand and flames flew up, Mami was stumbling on the loose desert sands since she was only in high heels
"Here" Kuromu said kneeling down "Get on" he said, Mami nodded and hopped on his back, standing up Kuromu was able to run
"KUROMU!" Iz shouted as the sand rippled upwards
"No way!" Mia exclaimed.
"What is it?" Mami asked concerned
"Scorpinok!" Mia said "He's a Predacon who has been hunting us" she told Mami; once they were close to the truck, Mia reloaded her gun and fired "STEP ON IT!"
"Copy that" Vast shouted as he stomped on the pedal, making the truck fly across the sand as Scorpinok chased them "Where is she?" he asked before the plane that they saw flew overhead
"There she is" Iz said as the back of the plane opened up and a girl dressed in what appeared to be a red schoolgirl uniform
"Hey guys, you got the source of the weird energy?"
"CHISATO MOVE!" Mia shouted over the radio making Chisato flinch
"Okay" Chisato moved aside as the truck drove in. Once they were in the team jumped out. Kuromu closed the door as Vast secured the door. Mia ran to the cockpit and got into a sit before grabbing the yolk and pulled up, making the plane go into a steep climb.
"MIA!" Kuromu shouted as they tried to secure the truck "TOO STEEP!" he shouted
"Sorry, but we need to climb higher to be out of the range of their guns" Mia shouted before she jerked the stick to the right making everyone crash into the wall
"WE HAVE A CIVILIAN!" Iz shouted
"Shit" Mia grunted levelling the plane out "Give me options Stratosphere!"
"Don't worry, we're high enough that they wouldn't hit us, but we have a new problem. She wants to talk to you" Stratosphere said in his broad Scottish sounding vocal accent
"Great" Mia said putting on a headset "This is Cyrus, what's wrong Sakamoto, ma'am?"
Back at Takara Base things were more confusing as Ultra Magnus had looked shocked at the mentioning of time being twisted. Inori had a vague sense of why; mostly because of what happened in New York five years ago. She closed her eyes and when she opened them; she was back in New York with the setting sun shining on her waiting for a taxi to take her some place, but she couldn't remember where she was going but she was having trouble getting one, when a whistle got the attention of one
"There you are kid" the woman who let out the whistle told her
"Thank you" Inori bowed
"Hey don't bow to me, after all we're not where we're supposed after all" she said walking off, Inori looked at her as she was about to get in, something about the woman looked familiar, and she found out why when she lowered her sunglasses revealing her sparkling silver eyes. Inori's eye snapped open. Shiro and Edward looked at her
"what's wrong?" Edward asked
"Ruby" Inori said "I think I know where she was sent" Inori said as she marked down on the timeline they had set up 'Ruby -10'
"And you know this how?" Yang asked
"Because I saw her in New York" Inori revealed, "and she looked older."
G'day Guys Grizz here, so yeah a lot of revelations in this chapter, such as what happened to Inori when she first arrived in New York, where Mami was sent and of course what happened to Ruby, which will be revealed more next chapter. Now if you read Ninjitsu in New York then you'll know who Marcus and Mimi are, and yes they are the digimon characters, and yes that flash was Raph from TMNT linking them to the bigger Legacyverse outside of interacting with the BPRD, which may have had some interaction but still limited.
Now the next characters: we have Ultra Magnus one of Optimus' old friends and commanders of the Autobots, Anubis Team who is comprised of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, Mia Cyrus from Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, Iz and Kuromu from Bofuri (go watch that one, its great!) Chisato from Lyrcois Recoil, Stratosphere from Rise of the Beasts and to cap it off the return of Scorpinok only this one is the Predacon version instead of the Decepticon version and he wil be in more chapters
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside.
