(Start Earth Upper Orbit)

Earth... the birthplace of the human race. A planet known for being a backwater mud ball yet oddly enough it had become the sight of many galactic conflicts between two warring factions. Humans the people whom call Earth their home have been known for many things first and foremost being violent to the point that they perfected the art of war in their world. Humankind was bread and born to violence in order to survive hostile environments that would otherwise kill them. Violence became their means of survival even after their world had been made a battle ground more times than not for a war between two alien factions.

Despite this humans ability and gift for violence though at times diluted was a valuable resource for those whom know how to nurture it. It was here that Earth was strongest and here where human's destructive tendencies will come to light. For in the space above the planet's surface explosions were heard as just then what, appeared to be blood spewed out only to freeze upon contact with the cold vacuums of space.

From that attack a humanoid figure with pure white armor and red highlights around the torso area to contrast it flew forth with a roar of challenge for his foes. Boosters went off as he flew about and landed on an Old Russian satellite where he was surrounded by large alien insectoid monsters glaring at him. Seeing them all one charged at the warrior only for said Warrior to do the same. Once he got close he jammed his lancer weapon into its mouth where it chomped on it and for a moment the two struggled. That was until the warrior flipped his foe over and proceeded to stab it with his weapon once it was freed of its maw. He didn't end it there as he then swung his dead foe about using it as a weapon and hit the other ones with ease.

Once they gathered up he threw his weapon at them like a spear thrower of the Olympics and managed to stab through a few of them at once. He wasn't done just yet as he then unleashed a wire of sorts which latched onto the handle of his weapon where he then swung it around and killed even more of his foes with ease. One by one he slaughtered his foes with a rage in his heart that would not quell until they were all dead. He charged at one of them as they charged back skittering on the ground intent to kill him before he proceeded to cut the foe clean in half. Once that was done he swung his weapon again allowing to boomerang like blades to fly out and spin before they cut the creature again making the two halves into four quarters of it. Once that was done the blades returned to his weapon and reattached before he saw more foes coming for him.

He then threw his weapon at his foes taking out multiple at once before charging over to where it landed with his boosters. Using the wire once more he pulled his weapon back into his hands and took a battle stance as he glared seeing more of these creatures were still coming for him. "I won't let you get away you monsters!" The warrior snarled as he was clearly enraged right now. "I'll kill you all down to the last egg if I have to!" He roared out showing that he was not going to let these monsters get anywhere close to the Earth if he can help it.

He then continued his assault on these alien monsters swinging left and right fully intent of slaughtering his foes as they stood. He was angry and he was vengeful and by the looks of it his nature had justified reasons behind it. As he continued to attack his foes it was clear he was not going to let these monsters get away with whatever it was that they did showing he was not going to surrender so easily.

As he continued to fight for a bit longer he suddenly stopped when energy arrows hit his shoulder and went off in an explosion. The warrior cried out in pain as he looked to the source and was wide eyed over what he saw. "No... Not you." He gasped as he saw the foe before him. "Tekkaman Dagger." He said to the now identified Dagger who stood up after he fired off his arrows at the white and red warrior.

In response the warrior began to fly off as Dagger in response gave chase. The chase went off as Dagger fired off energy arrows at Blade who in response dodged and avoided as best he could. But alas as the warrior soon found himself cornered and thus saw the foe coming at him where he then tackled him through the wall that made up this satellite creating a hole inside it. When this happened Dagger flew back and thus was force to dodge a sneak attack from his enemy who threw his lancer at Dagger. When Dagger deflected it the warrior grabbed the weapon with the wire and swung it at Dagger who stood atop what may be a fuel line for the satellite. Once the explosion went off the warrior pulled his weapon back and then threw it to where Dagger landed next causing another explosion.

The warrior saw Dagger was down and chased after him once more but in doing so Dagger made a smirking sound before from jumping out of the way. Then from below the metal an alien monster came out and stabbed the warrior space knight in the back and held him in place from that. The warrior cried out in pain from the attack as his blood began to spill with the metal of his armor bending out of shape. The pain forced the warrior to drop his weapon as he was struggling to get free.

"Dammit." The warrior cursed as he realized he was in a tight spot.

Dagger who landed saw this and smirked at what he saw. "I guess your history, traitor." Dagger said and thus charged at the warrior intent on killing him. He then stabbed through his own unit to kill the one he deemed as a traitor and pushed him so far the satellite was no doubt toast. Once it was done the warrior began to fall from above and into Earth's orbit being dragged into Earths gravitational pull. "Goodbye, Blade." Dagger said as he looked down upon the now identified Blade as he fell into Earth.

As Blade began to enter earth's atmosphere it was clear he could not stop or slow down. Thus his only option was to grit his teeth and ride it through. As Blade continued to free fall to Earth it was clear he was not going to have a safe landing. As he looked he could see the ground rapidly coming up on him despite the heat he was forced to endure from the re-entry.

"No... I can't die." Blade said as he was clearly not one to give up. "I refuse... I refuse to die until they've been defeated!" He yelled out as he continued to fall down to the Earth.

(Scene Break Jasper Nevada)

Upon a desert road, as three vehicles drive down an empty highway, as they were a yellow Camaro, a green SUV with a tow cable up front, and the last one was a blue-ish Buell Firebolt XB12R with a guy riding on it, but these vehicles are now what they seem to be as inside the yellow Camaro the only person that was in that car was a 12 year old nerdy looking kid named Rafael Esquivel as he was doing some homework on his laptop while the car was driving by itself.

Some strange beeping sound came from the radio of the car itself, like a voice that was trying to speak but the sound that came out were more buzzing beeping sounds as that caught Rafael's attention as he said, "Thank for the heads up bumblebee, I'll finish this later."

He close up the laptop as he soon said, "You guys must had it rough with the last mission from what I heard happen with Mech."

The car beep out again like it was saying "It wasn't a big deal". With Rafael give a small laugh and said, "I'm sure it wasn't."

(Green SUV)

Within the Green SUV as Japanese girl with long hair and pink highlights named Miko was jamming out to the song that was playing on the radio before she burst out in excitement as she said, "I can't believe you really did it! You saved your arch rival and kick his tin butt, Bulkhead!"

"Yeah I know, and I still can't believe it either, and if he ever comes around again I'm sure to give him something he'll never forget!" a voice that came from the SUV itself as it was a living thing with another voice coming through the radio being a female voice as she said, "Save the excitement for later, Optimus want to see us right away when we get back to base."

"Right, sorry Arcee," bulkhead said as the Miko girl keep on smiling regardless as she soon went back to air jamming to the music.

(Firebolt motorcycle)

On the motorcycle as the guy who was riding it named Jack Darby, as he asked the motorcycle, "So what do you think is happening that Optimus need to tell you guys?"

"Who knows, other than the scanner picked up disturbance in the earth atmosphere with some satellite went offline, there no telling what it could be," the motorcycle spoken no doubt it was Arcee who spoken before as Jack give a nod to this as he said, "I guess the Decepticons are up to something then."

"Probably," Arcee said nonchalantly as they headed towards a mountain area ahead, unaware of what was coming down from earth atmosphere, as a ball of fire that was coming closer and closer to the earth surface.

Soon enough the ball of fire soon impacted against the surface creating a massive explosion impact with lots of dust kicking up in the air while a shockwave of the impact itself came across the 3 vehicles, making them lose control of their steering, with jack nearly fallen off the motorcycle if it wasn't for Arcee quick thinking in spinning around to get jack back on the seat steady before stopping completely.

Miko was still air jamming while she was surprise to feel the large shaking that was happening as she make some noise before slipping down to the floor of the SUV.

And lastly, Rafael as holding onto the door and his seatbelt as he felt bumble bee lose control of his steering for a moment and everything was shaking up greatly, he hang tightly waiting for the out of control moment to pass as he ask, "What is going on?"

Soon enough the shaking stops as all 3 vehicles had stop and put their parking breaks on, with all three kids getting out or off the Vehicles and look out where the impact happen, to their shock to see what just happen as Jack asked, "Is it an attack?"

"If it was, it's quite off of where the attack hit," bulkhead said as suddenly he and the other two vehicles were moving on their own, shifting, and changing, transforming into a humanoid robot form as they look to the area where said, "attack," had just happened as Rafael said, "Why not check it out to see what it is, as it could be a satellite that fallen down to earth."

The yellow robot make some noises as if he was saying, "We can only hope so."

(A little later)

Soon enough all three human and transformers soon came upon the impact zone, as it as a large creator, with no telling what had made it as there was no sign of a satellite remains area the area if one did came down from above.

"Whoa!" Miko said as she saw the site of the creator, as she pulls out her phone and snap a few pics as Rafael said, "Doesn't seem to be a satellite crash, could it have been a meteor or something?"

"Maybe, there's no energon signal coming around here," Arcee said as she use her scanner to scan the area as Jack look closely to the center of the creator where it was still smoking a bit as he said, "Wait a moment, does anyone see that?"

"See what?" Rafael said as he, Miko, and the bots look closely as bulkhead said, "I don't see anything."

"Hey, I just saw movement for a second," Miko said as everyone look closely and to their shock there was movement in the center area as a shadow was seem coming out from the smoke, with the transformers prepare their weapons for anything that could be dangerous, as the shadow came closer and closer out from the smoke, and revile to be… a person?

"A human?" Arcee said as Bumble Bee buzz and beep out like he was saying, "What's a human doing here?"

The kids were wide eye to this as they saw a male teen, roughly around Jack and Miko's age with some blood spot over his left eye,… with them soon looking away as they realize the guy as naked with Miko blush big time as she never saw a guy naked before while the two boys were shock by this and look away as they didn't want to look directly at the guy.

AS he walk closer and closer to the group from the creator before stopping part way and collapse down showing the wounds on his back that were bleeding as well as that freak out the group with Miko said, "We need to help that guy!"

She soon jump down into the crater itself, sliding down with her feet as bulkhead call out saying, "Miko, wait don't." But alas Miko did so without hesitation. "Oh never mind!" Bulkhead said as he admitted defeat to his partner this one time.

"She's right, that human needs help, let's get down there and help him, Bumble Bee call the base and ask for a ground bridge," Arcee said as she look to the boys and said, you two may have to come with us and help out, and load him onto one of us."

"Alright," Jack said as he was still surprise by all this, with the same thought that was running through both his and Raf's head of how a guy was in the creator, and how did he survive the explosion impact?

As the two transformers came down into the creator with the boys with Bumble Bee contact the base he and the others were going to and try to tell them of the situation.

(Later)

Within a underground base area with many super computers around, large medical area with both small and large bed for both human and robot, along with a T.V with a DVD and game system on it, as well as a music instruments in the corner of the base no doubt where any human would hand out at while.

As in the medical area as the transformers with two extra robots sanding with the other three, the group of kids were at with an adult human with them, looking at the person who was in the small medical bed with bandages and sheet covering him, and a T.V in his arm, no doubt the teen wounds were treated by someone.

"So anyone want to tell me what happened?" The dark skinned man asked and thus Jack was the one who spoke.

"I don't know all I know is that we were driving to base when something crashed from space." Jack said knowing it was the only way that kind of damage could occur. We all checked out the crater and there he was alive, hurt, buck nude, and walking out." Jack recounted as the man to which Arcee spoke up.

"As crazy as it sounds Agent Fowler that's what we all saw as well." Arcee said as the man Agent William Fowler was trying to make sense of this.

With a sigh Fowler was glad to have a medical staff on standby in case any humans accidentally get caught in the crossfire between the Autobots and the Decepticons. "This doesn't make sense." Fowler said that explosion alone from what the crews investigated should have vaporized anything caught in the blast.

"I'll say." The old looking white armored robot that looked to have emergency vehicle parts scoffed. "Even Cybertronians couldn't survive a fall from that altitude." He said but the larger one was also suspicious of this.

"Still doesn't explain how he did though, Ratchet." Bulkhead said to which they still had a mystery on their hands.

"Be that as it may." the largest robot said as he stepped up to the others. "You all made the correct decision brining him here." HE said to which Fowler had other ideas. "Agent Fowler were you able to learn anything of his identity?" Optimus asked as he looked to Fowler.

"One of the first things I did, Prime." Fowler said as he took out a folder with the young man's face on it minus the injuries. "His name is Nick Carter, still waiting for blood tests to prove it but apparently he was part of a space crew to make the first step to colonizing Mars. The Crew comprised of himself and his family as well as a few close friends of the family." Fowler said much to everyone's surprise on this.

"Wait so he's an astronaut and a colonist?" Jack asked as he never heard of that particular event. "What's he doing back on Earth?" Jack asked as he looked to Government Agent.

"No clue, according to the NASA reports the ship vanished before it got to Mars." Fowler said relaying the information from what he could find. "Lot of red tape so it will take me a while but hopefully he can shed some light on what happened." Fowler said as he gestured to Nick.

"Thank you Agent Fowler." Optimus said as he looked to the Government Liaison.

"Still we can't run the risk of him seeing you Prime. I've already talked to my boys on moving him to a hospital under heavy guard of course." Fowler said until Miko noticed something about their sleeping guest.

"He's not wrong Optimus Fowler already is running risks with the children." Arcee added as she looked to her Commanding Officer.

"Um that might be a problem." Miko said getting everyone's attention. "He's waking up." Miko said and thus they saw Nick's only visible eye beginning to open causing Jack to look.

"Oh boy here comes the freak out." Jack said as they were lucky they got him a pair of medical pants. Yeah they did not need to see his tool swinging around like that. When Nick managed to open his eyes he saw a blinding light shining down on him.

The young man was clearly out of it at least until he saw the Autobots. When he saw them the shock of seeing them jumped started his mind and thus he went into panic mode. Acting fast he threw the blanket off and covered Miko in it before tearing the IV from his arm much to everyone's shock. Following it up the young man grabbed Miko in a choke hold and held her as a human shield.

"Miko!" Bulkhead called out when he saw Miko was currently in danger.

"Let go you psycho!" Miko called out as she struggled to get free.

"Shut up!" the young man snapped as he glared at the group. "I want answers what are you humans, Radan, or whatever those robots are!" He yelled clearly in a state of panic.

"Radan?" Raf asked as he never heard of that phrase before.

"Now easy there son no one is going to hurt you!" Fowler said trying to calm the young man down.

"Answer me!" Nick demanded as he was clearly on edge.

"Look whatever these Radan are we're not them, I mean look at us we're humans like you." Jack said as he looked to Nick who noted Jack.

"Ok... your humans but what about those things and while I'm on the subject where the heck am I?" Nick asked as glared at the group.

In turn being the best with Diplomacy Optimus spoke up. "We are a race of Autonomous Robotic Organism from the Planet Cybertron also known as Autobots." Optimus began as he looked to the young man who had undergone quiet the ordeal recently. "Tell me how do you know of Radan?" Optimus asked as he looked to the young man as the humans were surprised.

"How do you know of them?" Nick asked in response clearly back on the defensive as Miko was worried Nick might actually snap her neck.

"Every Cybertronian know of Radan, they are a race of insect like creatures who travel from world to world conquering it and assimilating its native life forms into their forces to further expand their rule." Ratchet said summarizing what Radan was. "They once tried to attack Cybertron eons ago before the war and when it was clear they could not assimilate us they had cut their losses and fled." Ratchet added as it was clear Radan's methods only work on Organics.

"But information of the conflict is scarce save for their method of recruitment." Optimus said as the way he said recruitment suggested that what Radan did was more sinister then it sounded.

"No kidding." Nick quietly said as he almost sounded like he had first had experience with it.

"What?" Miko asked since she was currently his hostage.

"Look Nick was it?" Jack began as he looked to Nick. "Just let Miko go and we can talk." Jack said hoping to get Nick to let Miko go free.

"Yeah you jerk!" Miko called out before the girl then proceeded to elbow her captor in the gut. Nick cried out in pain from that as Miko managed to get free from his grip. Once she was free she put some distance between herself and Nick who didn't even bother to give chase.

"Look I don't have time for this, I need a rocket and a damn fast one." Nick said showing he had a mission by the way he acted.

But just as Fowler was about to push the subject his phone went off. Knowing it had to be important the liaison went to answer it. "Fowler here." Fowler greeted until he went wide eyed. "Wait what where?" Fowler asked as the tone he spoke showed it was not pretty. "Alright." Fowler said and thus proceeded to hang up. "We have a problem an attack on a small town just outside a city in the Carolina's a populated town in fact." Fowler said as Arcee grew concerned.

"Cons?" Arcee asked and thus Fowler surprised them.

"No but it's not from Earth and it's not friendly." Fowler said and thus Nick was shocked.

"They've already started." Nick gasped and thus Fowler looked to Nick when he had said that. "Radan has begun their initial attacks." Nick confessed and thus it was clear Earth had become Radan's next target for conquest.

That made everyone worry about this, with the kids seem they didn't know what is truly happening and that scare them a bit, with Agent Fowler was figuring out to send in the army or not, and with the Autobots looks at each other giving a small nod as they know what they must do as Optimus prime said, "We will handle the situation, if the Radan really are attacking, then it best we go now and stop them, given the fact they cannot affect us like they can with other life forms."

"Wouldn't be any different from fighting deceptions I suppose," Bulkhead said as Ratchet said to him, "Don't be too sure on that Bulkhead, the Radan may not able to assimilate us, but they were still a formidable foe back then, and there no telling how much that change sense then."

Ratchet knew the Radan wouldn't stop in their plan to take over worlds, gaining more for their forces and knowledge from said worlds as they mostly had giant insect forces but they also had technology and able to use it as well that wasn't Cybertronian, with Arcee said, "Then a good reason to head out now before things gets worse out there than they already are."

"Ratchet set the coordinates to the location of the Radan attack to the ground bridge. We'll leave immediately," Optimus said as Nick suddenly rush up to them and said, "Wait! If you're going to fight the Radan, let me fight with you!"

Everyone was surprise by Nick request as he was willingly to go out there and fight off giant bugs, but the big question was going through the 3 kids head were "How would he?" Before anyone could say or do anything, Agent fowler came up to him and said, "Hold on kid. You were pull out from a crater not even an a few hours ago with wounds that could put a normal man in a coma. You're staying here and going to be answering some question I have like what happen to the ship you were on along with the crew?"

That was a good question as Nick was quite for a moment, like he was thinking about it for a moment before he answer saying, "I don't know. I can't remember anything when were closely approaching mars, anything else was just pain and sickness."

The human group along with a few Autobots that were listening on the conversation was surprise by this. With Jack wonder what had happen with Raf thought the alien might have mess with his memory with Miko was just 'Whoa' and not in the fun way.

Before Fowler could say or ask anything else, Ratchet had already gotten the ground bridge open to the location on earth where the Radan were attacking as he said, "The Bridge is open and it should take us near the area where the attack is happening."

"Good then. Autobots, transform and roll out," Optimus said as Miko came up saying "Hey wait, I want to come along and see these alien bug things!"

"Sorry Miko, but this is too dangerous for people like you," Bulkhead said as he was the one who usually let Miko join along while she sit in his vehicle mode as Bumble Bee buzz out agreeing with him with Arcee said to the kids, "I'm sorry you guys, but you three will have to sit this one out."

"Ah man!" Miko said as soon enough the Autobots transform into their Vehicle mode and head down through the ground bridge tunnel one at a time, with Nick not wanting to sit by and ask question when he knew he can fight the Radan and defeat them with ease, as he waiting for the last Autobot to head out being Bulkhead, Nick took off into a fast sprint as he try to get head before Bulkhead headed out with everyone were surprise by this, even agent Fowler as he saw Nick run across the platform and leap off of it to the area down below while landing on top of Bulkhead as he drive off into the ground bridge.

"What the?" Bulkhead said as he felt someone was on him, but could not stop or transform as it would risk hurting someone on accident, as they all went through the ground bridge close behind them as the kids and Fowler were surprise by Nick action as Miko said, "Wow."

"Did he just pull a Miko?" Jack asked shocked to see that their new arrival had just pull a Miko.

"Oh boy." Raf said as the boy realizing how bad this will turn out for them.

"Hey!" Miko called out a bit offended that her name was being used like that. "Still that is one Dangerous boy... or maybe D-Boy." Miko said as she came up with a nickname to call their new arrival.

(Later at the location)

As the Autobots drove through Bulkhead came to a stop as this caused Nick to slip and roll off the hood of the car. Once this was done Nick began to get back up as the Autobots transformed to robot mode. "I thought we said to stay at the base." Arcee said as she had expected something like this from Miko.

"Sorry but you don't know them like I do." Nick said if not mumbling to himself.

"Be that as it may." Optimus said as he stepped up no doubt having his fair share of disobedient teens on Cybertron. "Coming here and putting yourself in harm's way was reckless as it was foolish, Nick." Optimus said to which Nick huffed a bit.

"I'm not in any danger..." He said as he walked to where Radan was located. And how did he know one might ask well he can sense them when they are close by. "Well not yet." He said until he suddenly stopped as he felt it. "Dammit." Nick growled and in turn the Autobots head movement. "I don't think the glowing wormhole went unnoticed." Nick said and soon after from the trees Radan monsters rained down roared and snarling at seeing Cybertronians here.

"Nickolas move to cover!" Optimus ordered as his hands turned into guns as did the rest of Team Prime.

"Good just keep them off me!" Nick called back as he moved to cover heading deeper into enemy lines.

"Wait kid that's the wrong way where are you going?" Bulkhead called out as Nick smirked as he ran.

"To fight!" He called back but before he could move any closer he was soon surrounded by more Radan.

"Nick move!" Arcee called out as Optimus charged to assist the reckless boy.

But just then Nick had a crystal in his hand that he didn't have before as he closed his eyes for what came next. The Radan were almost upon him as the boys eyes then snapped open. "TEK-SETTER!" Nick invoked and thus the emerald crystal shined to life and allowed Nick to shoot up.

"By the Allspark." Optimus said surprised over what he saw being caught off guard.

In the energy shaped like his crystal Nick's clothing and bandages were vaporized as his once bandaged eye sported a scar across it. Not long after from his rib area what looked like crystal fins shot out before red energy went across his body like veins originating from a ball of red energy on his forehead. What came after was a suit of armor that began to appear and form up while giving him a few feet to boost. His eyes had an emerald glow which was part of his new helm that had a topaz gem of sorts on the forehead. To finish it off his armor gained two large shoulder pads.

The transformation was complete as the energy vanished leaving not Nick behind but the warrior whom betrayed his masters the protector of Planet Earth Tekkaman Blade. Activating his boosters Blade shot forth and drew his lancer weapon to do battle against Radan. To start off Blade's body transformed as his armor began to close up before he blasted off with enough speed that he managed to blast through the Radan that got in his way. Once he made it through he saw the town nearby and knew he was getting close to his target. If they can take Radan down before they can set up a base of operations they might just have a chance. Once he stopped his attack he took a moment to catch his breath no doubt his prior injuries may still have some effect on him.

Once he did so he threw his weapon and saw how it spun like a buzz saw cutting through everything in its path. As it did so the Radan who got in its way were rendered dead as the weapon tore through them. But Blade didn't end it there as he then sent out a cable wire to grab his weapon by its handle. But before he could do anything else a Radan drone attacked by spitting out some sort of substance from its maw. Blade dodged the attack and then reeled his weapon back and grabbed it.

To finish it off Blade then slashed through many more Radan with his weapon killing them instantly and thus clearing a path to the town for the himself and the Autobots. Speaking of Team Prime they saw what had happened and needless to say they were surprised if not suspicious of him. "Wait isn't that one of their upper soldiers?" Arcee asked as she saw Blade fighting his way through Radan using the powers they had given him against them.

"I seems that there is more to our mysterious young friend then meets the eye." Optimus said as he knew that if Nick did in fact have the same powers that Radan's slave soldiers had been forced with then he must have omitted parts of the truth.

"Well whatever it is they're still coming!" Bulkhead called out as he saw Radan coming torts them.

"Autobots eliminate the enemy!" Optimus ordered and thus the battle began as now Team Prime has joined the fight to take on Radan. As the Autobots made their way through Arcee and Optimus switched to their melee weapons when the Radan got too close. Bulkhead of course went for his wrecking ball as the Autobots fought their way through the Radan advance forces. Bumblebee followed it up with his own blasters as they made their way through the foes as they came. Thankfully it seems that Blade had so far proven to help tip the tide of battle in their favor as he fought his way through the Radan forces.

A few Radan had gotten a bit too close for comfort opting Arcee to jump on its back and slash into it with her arm blades. The battle continued as the Autobots took out the Radan leaving them as smears on the ground. But despite this they were coming out on top... until Radan began to use its acidic shots of venom to attack. Optimus was hit in the shoulder causing him to cry out in pain and hold his wound.

"Optimus!" Arcee cried out when she saw Optimus get hurt.

"Autobots watch out for those attacks, it seems Radan had learned to adapt after their initial attempt for Cybertron." Optimus said as he would need to get that injury treated.

Radan was moving in on them but thankfully it was not as bad as it was with the Decepticons. No doubt it was thanks to Blade that the path was cleared for them. "Hey where's the kid?" Bulkhead asked and thus they remembered that Blade had gone on ahead of them.

(Meanwhile with Blade)

Blade arrived at the main town area and thankfully saw that Radan was trying to set their nests up first. It was a process they attacked an area far out that no one would notice it going quiet, assimilate its native inhabitance, and finally spread out to other areas. As Blade made his way through his yellow gem flashed to life signally trouble was afoot. Looking for the source of it he soon saw Dagger atop a building glaring down upon the Ivory White hero.

"Blade?" Dagger asked as he saw Blade before. "I thought you got snuffed when you re-entered Earth's atmosphere." Dagger said as Blade took a battle stance showing he was ready to fight.

"You should already know I'm far too stubborn to die." Blade retorted as he glared at Dagger.

"Be that as it may." Dagger began as he then took a battle stance. "I will kill you here and this time I'll make sure the job is finished." Dagger said and just then the two Tekkaman activated their thrusters and flew straight at each other. Thus the areal battle began between the two as they flew at each other intended on besting the other. Lancer met lancer as the collision and friction created sparks between them. Dagger then parted from Blade and began firing off energy arrows at his foe intent on besting him here and now. Blade used a shield to block the arrows before Dagger charged and continued their sword fight. Using his free hand Dagger began making jabs at Blade only for Blade to maneuver and avoid them before slamming his knee into Dagger separating the two fighters.

Once they parted Blade split his weapon in two and began to duel wield it showing he was a bit more creative with his powers. Dagger roared in fury and swung his weapon down on Blade only for Blade to block it by crossing his swords together. They in turn began to fly around each other as they were clearly trying to off the other in this regard as they clashed and continued fighting every so often. Blade then took note to the primary Radan plant and thus devices a plan.

"Come on!" Blade taunted and thus Dagger roared and swung his weapon upon Blade. Blade managed to block the attack and use the other half of his weapon to slash into Dagger hitting his right eye and causing him a great deal of pain. Dagger flew back trying to escape and lick his wounds only for Blade to grab Dagger from behind and spin around before tossing him to the main plant that had yet to lay root into the ground. "Forgive me." Blade said and thus began to use his strongest of weapons.

"Damn you." Dagger snarled holding his wound and while getting back up. "I'll send you straight to Hell, Blade." Dagger added and thus looked and saw Blade hovering in the sky above.

"VOLTEKKER!" Blade invoked and thus his shoulder pads opened to reveal laser lenses and large ones at that. They flashed to life as energy gathered in them before the beam fired from it and thus Dagger was left wide eyed to this.

"No!" Dagger cried out and quickly acted to put some form of defense between him and the beam.

When the attack came to an end Blade was catching his breath showing he pushed himself today. He hoped Dagger was gone but knowing that he survived re-entry despite being injured he doubt that was the last he'd see of Dagger. Blade began to hover down to the ground no doubt to revert or preserve his strength at least until he came upon the Autobots. Arcee was the one who caught Blade and helped him land safely.

"Easy I got you kid." Arcee said as she looked to Blade.

Optimus looked upon Blade as this was the first time he had ever seen a Radan soldier able to rebel against his would be masters. Either he was in possession of an extremely strong will or he may be something of defective allowing him free will. For now it would be best to keep a close eye on him until they can learn more.

"Ratchet we require a ground bridge." Optimus ordered and thus the Autobots got ready to return to base after another successful mission.

(Scene Break Autobot Base)

The Ground Bridge was active as the Autobots came through with Blade in tow. "That was totally bad ass, it was like something straight out of an anime!" Miko called out as she ran across the platform to the stairs to welcome back Nick/Blade. Blade was still transformed as he stumbled a bit no doubt still a bit winded after his fight. "So what they call you like this D-Boy?" Miko asked ready to go to Nick but was of course stopped by Jack.

"Miko wait." Jack said as he knew Nick had been through the ringer but if what Optimus said is true Tekkaman were Radan's forced slave soldiers.

Just then the image of Nicks emerald crystal came forth and in turn formed around Tekkaman Blade. Not long after the form of Blade vanished and in turn shrunk down till Nick was standing there. Problem was it seems that Nick's transformation vaporized his hospital gown as his body was releasing steam to boot. "Ok did not need to see that again." Miko said as she looked away... until she looked from the corner of her eyes and tried to get a good look. "Damn he's packing." Miko muttered but they had to get back on subject.

Just then Nick fell over as he landed on his hands and knees exhausted and tired after his ordeal. "Hey you ok?" Jack asked as he looked over to Nick who then raised his head to glare.

"I need food." Nick said showing he was just hungry right now. And after all that he had been through the boy deserved a bite to eat. But unaware to any of them save for a select few the war was about to escalate beyond simply being Autobot and Decepticon.

(Scene Break Dark Side of the Moon)

On the Dark Side of the Moon an ancient derelict ship laid frozen and grounded for time untold. Inside the ship movement was seen as with it a pulsing sound was heard. From deep within the command bridge a pair of eyes belonging to a Tekkaman came to life. As it stood there cords were seen feeding energy into the ship and the same vice versa. "Soon..." A voice whispered as this being worked to raise this ship from its long buried grave. "Soon Earth shall become one with Radan." The being said and thus the room went dark once more. Whomever this being was it was clear that dark forces were at work. But hope will survive in the form of Tekkaman Blade and with it the survival of all of humankind itself.
