Chapter 23
The Trigger part 1
00000000
Atlas
Atlas was known for many things. Such as being one of the most advance kingdoms, for having the largest military and above all else for being a cold kingdom. Something team CFVY was learning the hard way.
When they signed up for the Hunter exchange program, they weren't sure where they were going, but going to Atlas has turned out to be a terrible experience for them.
Everyone knew that the military and huntsman program were joined in Atlas, but they never realized they favored the military side more. They were woken up early in the morning, they had to act like they were in the military and had to learn their slogans to boot.
And the thing they hated the most right now was they were on patrol in the middle of nowhere. As they tracked through the snow in standard issue military winter clothing Coco, Fox and the other two members of CFVY Velvet and Yatsuhashi weren't happy.
Velvet is a rabbit Faunus with brown rabbit ears as her Faunus trait. She had long brown hair that went to her lower back and brown eyes. One her back was box called Anesidora and was Velvet's weapon.
Yatsuhashi is a tall man with shaved-short black hair. He had tan skin and was athletic looking. On his back he carried a large blade called Fulcrum. The blade was a tall as Yatsuhashi and twice the length of his torso. The blade had a grip space for two hands and it dual-edged and two-toned. The flat part being a shiny copper while the edges appear to have a golden sheen. The blade is slightly curved with the end being a reversed, bard-like hook.
"Tell me again why we did this?" Asked an annoyed Coco as she hated this.
"To see the world?" Answered Velvet as her bunny ears felt like ice blocks.
"Aw." Said Coco. "Next time someone says something like that I'm shooting them."
"What is going on back there?" Asked Winter as she stood before them.
Winter was their team leader for this outing. Their mission was to patrol the area, due to weird seismic readings they've been getting here. The really weird thing was it wasn't a seismic area, so the only other possible reason is some sort of grimm.
But what team CFVY didn't know was Winter was here to keep them from finding Tigatron. When she first heard out the quakes, she asked him to investigate for her. So far, he had found nothing and if she remembered correctly, he was do to check in today.
"I guess being high strung runs in the family." Said Coco lightly so only her team could hear her, as she compared the two Schnee sisters together.
Then all the sudden the ground shocked as the five of them tried to stay on their feet. It only lasted for a few seconds, but to them it felt longer.
"Velvet!" Said Winter suddenly gaining her attention. "Do you hear anything?"
Velvet closed her eyes as she focused on her hearing. At first she heard nothing, but she then heard a faint voice.
"I do." She told Winter. "It's faint, but it's someone saying this isn't a seismic area, something about being close to the lands, and that they had to do a report."
"Do you have any other teams out here?" Asked Coco as what Velvet said made no sense.
"No." Said Winter as she knew who it was and was trying to think of a way to get them away from him.
"Maybe it's a scientist living out here?" Suggested Yatsuhashi as the others thought about it.
"Maybe they know something about what's happening out here." Added Fox.
"Then let's do it then." Said Coco as she realized she wasn't in charge her. "With your permission of course."
Winter acted like she was thinking about it, but she knew without making people wonder why they didn't follow through on this it would be hard to explain. Her only hope was to make sure they didn't find Tigatron, but with Velvet ears it would be hard.
"Very well." Said Winter as she turned to Velvet. "Lead the way."
And with that the group followed Velvet as they searched for Tigatron.
Meanwhile with said Maximal he was on a ledge with a large rock in front of him.
"Tigatron Maximize!" Said Tigatron as he transformed. He then went to the rock and pressed a spot on it. The rock then transformed into tower with a dish at the top and a console at Tigatron's height. The reason for the security was in case someone from Atlas came across it, they would only see a rock and not think twice about it.
He then pressed serval buttons as the dish on the top powered up and fired a beam south.
"Maximal base, please respond." Said Tigatron, unaware of the guests he had coming.

Vale, Patch, Axalon, Few minutes before
At the Axalon Rhinox was doing some work as he studied Remnant's moon.
"How's your research going?" Asked Optimus as he walked over.
"It's weird." Said Rhinox as he studied the screen before him. "The more I scan the moon and try to figure out why it's broken the more I get confused."
"How so?" Asked Optimus as he was interested in what he found.
"It's almost like something flew right through it." Rhinox told him confusing Optimus.
"How is something like that possible? Could it be instrument error?" Optimus asked him as that would be impossible otherwise.
"Maybe." Admitted Rhinox hoping that was the case.
Outside the base Tigatron's communication beam hit a reflector set up above the base sending it towards the Axalon.
Inside the base Speedclaw was manning the comms.
"This is Tigatron calling Maximal base." Said Tigatron over the comm system. "Maximal base come in."
"We hear you loud and clear Tigatron." Said Speedclaw. "How is it up there, in the land of frozen gears?"
"Theses land might freeze your gears, but at least they're peaceful." Said Tigatron with a laugh.
Speedclaw was about to say something when a new voice came over the comm.
"Hands in the air!" Ordered the voice.
"Tigatron what's wrong?!" Asked Speedclaw in worry as Optimus and Rhinox looked over at him in fear.
00000000
Atlas, Tigatron's location
Tigatron stood there with a gun barrel to his head. Shifting his optics, he saw what looked like a machine gun. Seeing his options Tigatron raised his hands.
"Why are you doing this?" Tigatron asked her as he then saw the other members of team CFVY and Winter.
"We'll ask the questions here." Said Coco with authority in her voice.
"Tigatron are you ok?" Asked Speedclaw over the radio as Coco looked at it.
"Who is that and where is he?" Asked Coco as Speedclaw heard her.
"If you do anything to harm him, I promise you that there will be nowhere to hide from me on this mudball of a planet." Threatened Speedclaw as Velvet took a step back in fear. Even Winter had never heard him speak like that before.
Coco was taken back for a second before she spoke. "Listen we just need to know who you are, and why you are here."
Hearing that Tigatron shook his head. "I'm affair we can't." He told her confusing everyone, but Winter.
"And why not?" Asked Yatsuhashi as he voiced team CFVY question.
"For it will forever changed your world." Tigatron told him confusing them even more.
That's when one of the screens on Tigatron's Communication tower started to beep. Hearing that Tigatron quickly looked at the screen and then to the air.
And to his horror both Terrorsaur and Wazzpinator came flying in as the both transformed into robot mode and started to fire at them.
"Look out!" Cried Tigatron as he pushed Coco down and out of the line of fire.
"What's going on!?" Asked a confused Fox as he couldn't see anything.
"We are under attack by two flyers." Said Winter as she brought out her gun and opened fire on the Preds. Seeing this Coco followed suit since she wasn't sure what was going on.
Terrorsaur then fired at the communication tower causing it to move about in a chaotic way. Tigatron then saw it was leaning towards Velvet, who was looking through pictures on her camera.
"Watch out!" He cried as he jumped and pushed Velvet out of the way. Unfortunately for Tigatron the tower landed on him.
"TIGATRON!" Yelled Winter as she saw the communication beam was cut off. Seeing this she hoped help was on the way.
"Wait!" Said Coco as she paused in firing at the Predacons to look at Winter. "You know him?"
"I'll explain later." Said Winter as she quietly added. "If there is a later."
Then to her relief she saw the tower move. Yatsuhashi saw this as well as he rushed over and helped push the tower over. Once it moved over everyone saw Tigatron sprawled out on the ground as he was pushed down enough to make an outline of him in the snow.
"Ow." Was Tigatron could say as he got up.
Velvet ears then twitched. "They're coming back!" She warned everyone as they could see the two flyers coming their way once more.
Acting fast everyone with a gun started to shoot at them, but the flyers dodged their shots. Then Terrorsaur dived down at the group as he activated a special rocket launcher on his shoulder revealing a missile with a paint job of a grinning face. He then fired the missile as everyone on the ground saw it except Fox. Acting fast the all jumped out of the way as Coco body checked Fox out of the way as they all landed near the edge of a cliff.
But when it hit the ground, they heard nothing nor felt anything. Curious they looked over and saw it was a dud. As everyone looked at the dud, they forgot about the flyers. Something Wazzpinator reminded them of as he rapid fired at them. They were able to dodge, but one of the shots hit the dud, causing it the exploded.
The explosion pushed them all to the edge of the cliff as Velvet almost went over if not for Tigatron grabbing her, then to both their horror Tigatron started to fall over as well. Luckily for them Yatsuhashi grabbed Tigatron by his waist and pulled them to safety.
That's when their bad luck continued as a cloud passed under them, one of the quakes they were sent out to study happened. And due to the ground being weak from all the fighting the ground under them broke apart as they all fell through the sky screaming and into the cloud.
"Maximal and his allies destroyed." Cheered Wazzpinator as he was quite proud of himself.
"Let's gather some fragments and body parts. Megatron will want proof." Said Terrorsaur as he wanted a reward for this.
"Wazzpinator calls Tigatron's head!" Cried Wazzpinator as he flew down pass Terrorsaur.
"It's mine bug face! You know how wet organic parts are when they're taken apart!" Yelled Terrorsaur as he flew down wanting the head for himself.
The two then transformed back into beast mode and flew down. But when they reach the bottom, they found nothing at all.
"Huh? Where Maximal and Maximal allies?" Asked Wazzpinator as this made no sense as Terrorsaur was the same.
"We saw them fall into that cloud." Terrorsaur said to himself as he got an idea, but it was crazy. But with half the stuff he's seen on their crazy world it wasn't too far fetched.
Terrorsaur then flew upwards as Wazzpinator followed him. Soon the two flew into the cloud as everything was quite for a bit. Then gun fire was heard as flashes of light came out of the cloud. Then there was the sound of something charging followed by a large light and the flyers screaming.
Sometime later Optimus, Speedclaw and Boomer stood at Tigatron's communication tower as they put it back up and fixed it.
"Optimus to command centre. This is Optimus Primal can anyone hear?" Asked Optimus hoping the tower was fixed right.
At the Axalon everyone, but Skyshooter and Airazor was there waiting for their report.
"We hear you big bot. What the stich? Where's my fellow cat bot?" Asked Cheetor as he pushed his way pass Rhinox for the comm.
"This place has seen some heavy action and it doesn't look good." Optimus told them as Speedclaw picked up some bullet shells near the tower.
"Whoever ambushed Tigatron while he was on the comm, seemed to join him in fighting off the Preds." Said Speedclaw from the angle the shells were on the ground.
"That's good to know, but what happened to them then?" Asked Blake as she was worried about Tigatron as much as Cheetor.
"Tigatron's footprints and the footprints of the others lead to a broken cliff." Optimus told them as he continued with a grim face. "We have to face a grim possibility team, Tigatron may have been destroyed."
Hearing that no one said anything as they were shocked to hear that.
"I wouldn't count that cat out just yet mate." Said Boomer as he was looking down the cliff with some special binoculars that had the ability to detect Cybertron metals. "I don't see any parts down there."
Hearing that did make Optimus and the others feel better, but it raised more questions. Like where is he and why hasn't he tried to reach them.
"What about the people who ambushed him? Any leads on who they are." Asked Ruby curious to their fate.
"I think I might know who they are." Said Weiss, but her tone was heavy. "Winter was leading a team in that area to figure out why there was earthquakes in the area."
Hearing that Optimus hung his head low hoping that wasn't the case. "Do you know anything else?" He asked Weiss trying to get the whole picture.
"She was with a beacon team on an exchange program. Something that sounded like coffee." Weiss told them as Ruby's eyes fell.
"CFVY." Said Ruby as everyone in the Axalon looked at her. "It's team CFVY."
"You know them?" Asked Optimus as that was part of the mystery solved.
"Yes." Said Ruby. "Coco introduced me to Fox for some training tips."
Optimus looked at Boomer who was still looking around. "I haven't found anything mate."
Speedclaw then spoke up hearing that. "Then I guess that means…" He then trailed off as everyone knew what it meant; they were captured.
"Ok people." Said Optimus gaining everyone attention. "Until we know for sure what happened here, keep an open mind. But for now we're tearing down this comm tower. This location is too unstable for it and more humans will come here soon. When we get back, we'll plan our next move."
Hearing that everyone agreed as Optimus hoped for the best.
00000000
Vacuo, Darksyde
At the Darksyde both Skyshooter and Airazor sat on a tree in beast mode a fair distance away from the base to avoid detection.
"See anything?" Asked Skyshooter as he saw some White Fang playing cards.
"Just a second." Said Airazor as she saw something. Zooming in she saw Terrorsaur and Wazzpinator but looked like they were nearly dead.
"Either the grunge look is coming back or those two ran into something hot." Said Airazor as Skyshooter looked her way.
"Whatever it was I'll go and report it. You say here and keep an eye on things." Ordered Skyshooter as he took off and flew back to base as Airazor kept her eyes on the Darksyde.
A little bit later inside the Darksyde command room Megatron (In his chair), Adam, Roman and several others looked at the state Terrorsaur and Wazzpinator were in. Some in shock, some in awe and some wondering what hit them.
"Wazzpinator what have we told you about flying into the bug zapper?" Mocked Roman gaining chuckles from some of the people in the room.
"Up…" But whatever Wazzpinator was going to say was cut off as he collapsed to the ground and went into stasis lock.
"Get him to the CR tank!" Ordered Megatron as several men grabbed Wazzpinator and took him away. Megatron then turned to Terrorsaur who looked like he wouldn't last much longer.
"Tigatron did this to you?" Asked Megatron as their profile on that Maximal stated he wouldn't do something like this to them.
"It wasn't just Tigatron, he had some humans with him and the older Schnee girl." Terrorsaur told them as Adam snarled.
"So the Schnee did this to you?" He asked them.
"No." Said Terrorsaur as everyone was confused as he continued. "It was a monument!"
Know this got Megatron's attention. "Explain yourself!" He ordered as he wanted to know more.
"We thought Tigatron and his allies were finished. We followed them as they fell into… a cloud. But inside it was just not a cloud…" Trailed off Terrorsaur as he remembered what happened.
00000000
Flashback, inside the cloud
When the two Preds flew into the cloud they saw a floating island with tall rocks surrounding it. On the inside was a lush valley with a large monument right in the middle with a pyramid top with some weird eye symbol on each side. And on each side of the base of the pyramid were ledges.
As the two flew closer to the island Tigatron's party fired at them from a small opening to the island. The two flyers then transformed and returned fire.
But what either side didn't see was the monument charged up some sort of energy as a beam fired from the top of the pyramid right at the flyers. The last thing either one saw was the beam hitting them and nearly killing them.
With their last bits of strength, they then called for a ground bridge.
00000000
Present
As Terrorsaur finished his story everyone was quite as Terrorsaur then fell to the ground and went into stasis lock.
Megatron then turned his chair away from Terrorsaur as he liked what he heard.
"A flying island. Concealed from view, which contains a powerful weapon. This could be useful. Yeeess. Such a tactful advantage could end the Beast Wars once and for all!" Megatron said to himself as he then turned and faced Adam.
"Adam send Terrorsaur to the CR tank and then gather your men. We must take control of that island at once!" Ordered Megatron, as some men took Terrorsaur away.
"Whoa there Megatron." Said Roman as he held his hands up. "We know nothing of this place, and you want to take everyone there?"
Hearing that Megatron glared at him as Adam spoke up. "He's right Megatron this place must have been built by those aliens. We can't rush into this."
Megatron scowled at the comment, but he knew they were right. "Very well then. Adam take a squad with you and make an advance base. Take Scorponok and Blackarachnia with you. Find out everything you can about that island. And when you find Tigatron and his allies terminate them."
Hearing that Adam nodded as he went to get everyone.
"Wait!" Said Megatron as he smirked at Roman. "Take Roman with you."
Hearing that shocked both men. "Wait what good will I be there?" Asked Roman as he was more of a business man then anything.
"Your idea, your mission." Said Megatron with a smirk as Neo then appeared before them.
Neo then pointed at herself and then at Roman as she crossed her arms.
"Are you saying you'll go in Roman's place?" Asked Megatron as he was surprised by this.
Neo nodded yes as Megatron grinned. "Very well then, you may go in his place." Megatron told her as Neo left with Adam.
"You have a loyal ally there Roman." Said Megatron with a hint of envy in his tone.
"I know." Said Roman as he never wanted to lose Neo.
But what nobody knew was Cinder was there as she held out a new scroll she recently got from her boss, as she had just sent the entire conversation to her. She then made herself scarce as she didn't want to be caught.

Vale, Patch, Axalon
Meanwhile at the Axalon Skyshooter was giving his report on what he and Airazor saw to Optimus and Ruby.
"You're sure of this?" Asked a surprised and relieved Optimus.
"Yes, Airazor saw it first, but I can confirm it. Both Terrorsaur and Wazzpinator barely online." Answered Skyshooter as both Optimus and Ruby looked at each other in surprise.
"That couldn't have been Tigatron. He'll defend himself, but total destruction goes against everything he believes in." Said Optimus as it didn't make sense.
"Maybe Winter would do that, but Tigatron would never let her go that far." Added Ruby as this made no sense.
"Did you see anything else, like prisoners?" Asked Ruby curious to what the answer was.
"No, everything looked normal over there." Skyshooter told her.
"Maximal base come in." They heard Airazor over the comms.
Optimus then went over to the comm and answered it. "Maximal base here, Airazor. What's going on?" He asked her as Ruby and Skyshooter flanked him.
"I've got two jump ships leaving the Darksyde. From what I can tell they're heading north." Said Airazor as everyone looked at each other in wondering what was going on.
"Follow them." Ordered Optimus as he wanted to know what they were doing. "But try to keep out of sight and report as soon as you find anything out."
"Roger that." Said Airazor as the line went dead.
"What is going on?" Asked Ruby as things weren't making sense. First, they lose Tigatron and co. Then they find out Terrorsaur and Wazzpinator were nearly killed. And now Megatron knows something they don't know.
00000000
Tigatron's location
After what felt like forever Tigatron, Winter, and team CFVY had finally made it out of the rocky exterior of the island and made their way inside. Feeling the sudden temperature difference team CFVY took off their winter clothing revealing their normal combat outfits underneath.
Yatsuhashi was wearing long short-sleeved robe that he wore on his right shoulder with a black muscle shirt under it. The robe is fastened at his waist by a leather armored belt that has two pouches on the left side. He wore brown pants and black and green boot. On his wrist he had on green wrist guard and wore black gloves. And finally on his left arm he has on a 5-layer sode that extends up past his shoulder.
As for Velvet she wore short, long-sleeved jacket with a golden zipper and brown shorts with golden details and black leggings. She also has on a black, semi-translucent undershirt beneath her jacket. And on both arms she wore golden spualders and vambraces and a similar belt on her waist. And finally she wore shoes that were like wise protected.
"Wait let me see if I got this right." Said Coco as Winter and Tigatron explained everything to them. "You're an alien robot and there are two fractions for your race. You crashed landed here and now are having a secret war. And both sides have recruited people from here."
"Yes, that is correct." Said Tigatron in beast mode as he looked around at the beauty of the island.
Coco rubbed her temples. "Next your going to tell me Ruby is apart of this."
"You know Ruby as well?" Asked Tigatron as Coco was speechless.
Seeing that Coco was done for now Winter took charge. "Tigatron have you've been able to contact anyone?"
"No." Said Tigatron as something was blocking his comms.
"Then how will we get off this island?" Asked Velvet as she too was taking in the beauty of the island and was taking some photos.
"I don't know." Admitted Winter as she looked at the monument in the centre of the island. "But our best course of action is to head to that monument."
"Agreed." Said Coco as they started to walk towards it.
As they walked Yatsuhashi spoke up. "It's hard to believe that such a place exists."
"I know, if I didn't know better, I would have never guessed we were in Atlas." Added Fox as it was weird.
"And there's no grimm anywhere." Said Velvet as looked around on her camera and her ears didn't pick up anything.
"Truly this place is a paradise." Said Tigatron as he felt at peace here.
"True, but what I want to know is who built this place." Said Winter as she was worried it was those aliens the Maximals told her about.
But was they walked they passed a boulder as on the other side facing away from them was a weird marking. It almost looked like a man holding an anchor sideways. The marking then glowed as the ground then started to shake under them.
"What's happening?" Asked a worried Velvet.
Tigatron looked down as he realized what was happening. "Jump!" He ordered as everyone jumped forward as the ground under them broke apart as they could see under the island from the hole.
Then the ground shook again. "What now?" Asked Coco as she was ready to use Gianduja.
Then to their horror the ground broke apart revealing catapults with a boulder at the end of each one. With all of them facing the group.
"Run." Ordered Winter as she didn't want to see if they threw the rocks or slammed them down.
Hearing that Tigatron transformed as they all ran forward to avoid the boulders as they came down behind them. As they ran, they got luckily as the boulders landed away from them or just before them enough so they could move out of the way. And then once they thought they were home free, three more catapults emerged from the ground in front of them. Seeing this Tigatron then brought out his gun and fired at each one destroying the boulders on the ends.
That's when they heard a familiar humming noise and to they're shock and horror the monument was glowing as it fired it's beam in their direction. They got lucky as the beam hit the ground away from them allowing them to jump to safety.
Everyone waited a few second for whatever else to happen to start. But seeing that nothing was happening they relaxed a bit.
"What was that?" Asked a shaken Velvet.
"Some sort of defence system?" Guessed Fox as he collected himself.
"But then what set it off?" Asked Yatsuhashi as he cleared some dirt off himself.
"Who knows. But what I want to know is why that monument fire at us?" Asked Coco as she dusted herself off.
"I think it was my energy weapon." Said Tigatron as he looked at his gun.
Winter thought about it and it made sense. "Then it will most likely fire again if we use dust. So unless we have no choice we mustn't fire our weapons." Winter told everyone as they agreed.
"I prefer it that way anyway." Said Tigatron as he transformed back into beast mode.
"Should we still head for the monument?" Asked Fox as he was unsure.
"I must be powered by something and whatever it is we could use it to get help." Said Winter as she shared his concerns, but they needed to get off the island.
Soon they all started to the monument again though a little shaken. Velvet then walked over to Tigatron.
"I'd never did properly thank you for saving me earlier." She told Tigatron as she wasn't sure where she would be without him.
"I did what anyone else would have." Tigatron told her as Velvet shock her head.
"Maybe on my team, but in the real-world Faunas aren't treat the same." Velvet told him.
Hearing that Tigatron growled. "Why is it that people must hate that they do not understand nor willing to understand." He told Velvet who was surprised by his words.
"I wish I knew." Velvet told him as she really did.

Atlas, White Fang location
At the same time Adam's group neared the cloud as they started to slow down and go into a hover near it. The doors on one ship opened revealing Adam, Neo, Blackarachnia, and Scorponok (both in robot mode).
"There it is." Said Blackarachnia as she looked at the cloud.
Neo looked at it before writing something on her scroll and showing it to Blackarachnia. Blackarachnia looked at it and saw 'You sure. All these clouds look the same.'.
"Yes. While Wazzpinator and Terrorsaur aren't the brightest witness, the description fits. The flying island must be inside." Said Blackarachnia as Neo nodded.
"Scorponok send a cyber bee inside and check it out." Ordered Adam as he didn't want to fly into a cloud and risk crashing into something.
Hearing that Scorponok grumbled as he opened up his right pincher revealing a cyber bee. "Cyber bee launch."
The bee then took off as it flew into the cloud. At the same time Scorponok linked his optics with the bee's so he could see what it was seeing.
Once the bee got through the cloud cover it saw the island. It flew past the rocks and started to examine the inside. It the saw the monument and circled it as it took in everything it could. The bee then went to the other side of the island. But as it passed some rocks Tigatron suddenly jumped out and attacked the bee.
Seeing this Scorponok took a step back in shock.
"Well is it in there?" Asked Adam as he wanted to get out of this weather.
"Yeah, so is Tigatron." Answered Scorponok as Neo looked out of the ship and saw something.
"Good, that means his allies are there too." Said Adam with a grin as Neo grabbed Blackarachnia and pointed towards a nearby mountain.
"What is it?" Asked Blackarachnia annoyed as Neo pointed. Seeing this zoomed in with her optics and raised an eyebrow.
Climbing the mountain was a large pack of grimm that looked like sabre-toothed cats called Sabyrs. But what caught Blackarachnia's attention was they kept looking at the cloud, like they wanted to get to it.
"Adam. Look at the mountain ahead of us near the base." Said Blackarachnia as Adam was curious to what she was talking about, so he grabbed some binoculars. He then saw the Sabyrs and how they kept looking at the cloud.
"What the?" Was all he could say as he never seen grimm act that way before.
"Do we proceed, or do we kill the grimm?" Blackarachnia asked him as Adam though about it.
"We continue the mission." He told her as he closed the door. "Even if they get onto the island what can they do?"
Hearing that Blackarachnia nodded but a part of her couldn't shake the feeling something bad was going to happen because of those grimm.
The two ships then flew into the cloud as Airazor watched them confused.
"Why would they risk flying into a cloud?" She asked herself as she followed them in, but unfortunately for her she was too close and one of the ships caught her on their radar, as it then readied their missiles.
Meanwhile Tigatron held the cyber bee he caught down with his paw as Winter tried to reprogram it.
"What is that thing?" Asked Coco as she looked at the bee.
"A Predacon cyber bee." Answered Tigatron with some worry in his voice. "If it is here, then Scorponok and who know who else is not far behind."
"Then what do we do?" Asked Fox as he was starting to feel useless in their situation, since he was blind.
"I'm reprogramming this thing to carry a message for the Maximals. Once they get it, we can get a rescue party here." Winter told him as she unplugged some wires causing the bee to stop moving.
They then heard a bird cry as Airazor broke the cloud cover, but unfortunately for her a dropship was behind her as it then fired a missile at her. The missile hit her dead on as Airazor fell from the sky as her feathers slowly followed her.
Tigatron's group watched as Airazor fell close to them as they heard the monument charge up again. It then fired at the ship hitting its right wing, as the ship then lost control and crashed on the opposite side of the island.
Adam saw this as his eyes widen behind his mask. "Get us down there!" He yelled to the pilot as the ship flew over to the downed ship.
Adm then turned to Blackarachnia. "What happened there?!" He demanded as he wanted answers.
"I can't say for certain, but I think as sort of defense system. If we use anything dust or energon related it will cause the monument to fire." Said Blackarachnia as Adam clenched his fist. That greatly weakens their abilities to fight, but at the same time it also affects their enemies.
Soon the ship landed, and Adam jumped out as he saw some of his men moving. But they weren't in good shape. Some were bleeding badly while some laid on the ground moaning.
"Gather the injured onto the ship and get them back to the Darksyde." Ordered Adam as those on his ship quickly unloaded their supplies as they then went to help.
"What are you doing?" Asked Scorponok as this made no sense to him.
"I'm not sacrificing these men." Said Adam as Scorponok was about to retort, but Adam cut him off. "And when they come back, they can bring us close range weapons, since our regular gear will be more harmful to us."
Hearing that Scorponok glared at him as he went to the crash to see what he could saved.
A little bit later with Tigatron's group everyone was gathered around Airazor as she was starting to come to.
"Airazor, Airazor." Said Tigatron trying to get her to focus on his voice.
Airazor then opened her eyes as she saw Tigatron still in beast mode and Winter. She then tries to get up only for Tigatron to stop her.
"Lay still." He told her as she could only groan. "You've been hit badly. Your beast form will make repairs, but it will take time."
"But… But the Predacons and White Fang…" Said Airazor weakly as she barely had any strength.
"We know." Said Winter. "We capture one of Scorponok's cyber bees. We reprogrammed it to convey a message to the others. If were luckily they should have it soon."

Vale, Patch, Axalon
In the Axalon Optimus stood in the command centre holding a cyber bee as Ruby, Yang, Blake, Cheetor, Rattrap and Skyshooter stood in the room as well.
"Good thing you didn't just blast this." Said Optimus as he set the bee on the table.
"Well I would have but it was carrying one of Airazor's feathers." Said Cheetor as he held the feather in his hand.
"Yeah so it must have been important." Added Yang as the two looked at each other and nodded.
"Sides they missed." Added Rattrap as the two glared at him.
"It wasn't pretty to watch." Said Blake as the two tried to outdo the other. They got lucky that they couldn't hit anything because of it.
Hearing that Ruby giggled as Cheetor and Yang looked away embarrassed.
"Prime." Was all Optimus could say as Skyshooter looked at the two shaking his head.
"Let's see what we got." Said Ruby changing topics as she activated the bee. The bee the projected an image in front of them as they all saw Tigatron and Winter.
"Hey it's Tigatron." Cheetor said in joy as he side-hugged Blake, as Blake smiled at seeing him.
"Attention Maximals! This is a code one emergency message!" Said Tigatron as this gained everyone's attention at the serious tone he used.
Winter then took over. "The two of us and a team from beacon are trapped on a floating island protected by a cloud cover with a self-contained ecosystem in Atlas. Airazor has been damaged upon entry into the island. The White Fang and Predacons are here as well. This island has an energy weapon the likes I have never seen before. One blast could destroy an Atlas battle cruiser. If the White Fang or the Predacon gain control of this weapon and the island it will be the end of the Beast Wars and the enslavement of Remnant!"
Hearing that everyone gasped as the screen went static as this could literally change everything. The only thing they did know was they had to get there fast and hope they have time to stop the Predacons and White Fang before they won the Beast Wars.
This aren't looking good for the Maximals right now. The Predacons and White Fang have a lead on them. But what is up with the grimm? I know and let's just say no one will guess what I have planed for the next chapter.
And we have my favorite team in RWBY team CVFY in the mix. And I won't lie we're going to see more of them.
Until next time.
