Author's note: I just started rewatching Victorious the other day and, while the show isn't perfect, I think it's fine and I, kinda, like it, mostly to my nostalgia for the show when I was growing up (Although, it's sad how it was created by Dan Schneider, who is pretty much a creep). Anyways, hopefully, I won't delete this story since I am scared if it turns out to be bad. Hope you guys enjoy this fanfic! By the way, I just want to point out that I don't own Transformers and Victorious, nor any of its characters.
Los Angeles, California…
It was just a sunny evening in the Angeles National Forest, where some birds were flying above a dirt roadway of the forest, chirping while a red muscle car, having two bull-like horns on its front, was driving down the dirt road. However, if there was one thing that was strange about the car, it would have to be the fact it has no driver at all and is driving all by itself.
That is when the car started talking to someone over its radio. "So there I was on the lookout when these high beams lit up my rear end. That's when it hit me, I'm illegally parked!"
"Another parking ticket?" A female voice asked, coming from a communication function on the car's radio.
"Better, the boot." The car replied.
In another part of California, a pink motorcycle was driving down the road, with a female driver, all dressed up in black, riding on it, as it turns out it was the same female voice that the car was talking to.
"New York's finest soil themselves" The motorcycle said, sounding amused. "Although, I'm not sure how that complies with Autobot Rule #1 on Earth. Keep a low profile. Remember?"
"You know what they say Cee, when you miss with Cliffjumper, you get the horns!" The car quipped, from the communicator of the motorcycle. "Not going to lie, patrolling for Energon on this planet makes it boring if you ask me. Makes me, kinda, miss the Cons."
"Like Los Angeles a party?" The motorcycle retorted. "We're all alone wherever we go on this rock Cliff."
Back with Cliffjumper, who is the car, his radio started beeping, revealing a small dot on his radio, which also functions as a radar.
"Looks like I'm picking up a signal." Cliffjumper reported.
"Need any help?" The motorcycle asked, responding from Cliffjumper's communicator.
"Do I ever need backup?" Cliffjumper inquired , deciding to end the conversation.
Soon, Cliffjumper continued to drive past the trees, looking for the signal, before he soon came to a halt in front of a huge crater, which had a lot of blue crystals, which came in different sizes, revealing it to be Energon.
"Well, I just hit the jackpot!." Cliffjumper remarked to himself.
Just then, a huge shadow began to loom over Cliffjumper as he transformed into a red robot with horns on his head, looking up at what was looming over him. It was a giant purple space warship that had a few spikes at the front and had red menacing eyes on its front as well.
"Deceptions." Cliffjumper realized, looking up at the giant purple space warship, which is called the Nemesis.
One of the ship's turrets aimed itself at Cliffjumper and shot at him, only for Cliffjumper to quickly react fast enough and jump out of the way and land into the huge crater. Then, a large hatch underneath the Nemesis opened up, revealing them to be a group of purple robots with red visors jumped out of the hatch and onto the ground, staring at Cliffjumper. These were the regular Decepticon soldiers that are called Vehicons.
"Um, Cee? About that backup, I need it now!" Cliffjumper said, speaking to his communicator before hanging up before glaring at the Vehicons. "Alright boys, just to let you all know, I don't play nice."
Cliffjumper wasted no time in transforming into his vehicle mode and drove up the crater before he soon jumped up and transformed back into his robot mode before landing a solid punch on a Vehicon, before the fight between him and the Vehicons broke out.
Meanwhile, in another far away area of California, a red and blue semi-truck was driving down the road, without no one being at the wheel, until it soon got a call and picked it up from its radio.
"Optimus! The Cons are back, and Cliff might be in some deep scarp!" Arcee informed, sounding worried.
"Understood. Red Alert, do you have Cliffjumper's coordinates?" Optimus replied before asking someone over his communicator.
Meanwhile, in a snowy area of Canada, a red, blue, and white ambulance was driving down the roads of that area, while also receiving communication from Optimus.
"Yes. I'm locked onto his coordinates, Optimus. But, since our team is scattered across different time zones, it will take a couple of minutes for us to get to his location." Red Alert, the red and blue and white ambulance, said.
Upon hearing this, Optimus Prime, the Leader of the Autobots, proceeded to do a roll-call of his Autobot team.
First was Arcee, the pink motorcycle.
"Arcee."
A dark-green SUV.
"Bulkhead."
A yellow sports car.
"Bumblebee."
A red and yellow lamborghini.
"Rodimus."
Lastly, a black and dark blue sports car.
"Crosswise. All of you return to base and prepare to groundbridge to Cliffjumper's location."
Meanwhile, back at the crater, Cliffjumper was doing pretty well against the Vehicons, holding his own, until their numbers started to overwhelm him. After he punched a Vehicon in the face, another one was able to punch in the face, breaking off one of his horns, before another one was able to kick him in the chest, sending him flying off the ground and down into the crater, with him groaning in pain as the Vehicons jumped down and intended to finish him off.
"Fine, you want the horns?" Cliffjumper asked, glaring at them, before converting his hands into blasters. "You got them!"
Soon, Cliffjumper started to fire at them, with the Vehicons returning their own firepower back at Cliffjumper, who dodged. One Vehicon tried to fire at Cliffjumper, only for him to miss, before the shot ended up hitting one of the Energon crystals, causing Cliffjumper and the Vehicons to look at it in horror as it was about to explode.
"Oh scarp." All that Cliffjumper could say, before a huge explosion happened, causing most of the Vehicons to be caught in it, including Clifjumper, who was sent flying off into an area of the forest.
Soon, the Vehicons were able to recover and started looking for Cliffjumperr in the crater, not knowing he was sent flying into the forest, before soon deciding to walk back to the Nemesis, assuming that the red Autobot died from the explosion.
The Nemesis…
In the command center of the Nemesis, a tall silver Decepticon, with 2 wings on his back and red eyes, watched the entire fight down below and groaned in frustration upon seeing the Energon be destroyed. This was Starscream, the 2nd in command of the Decepticon Army.
"All of that Energon…. It's all useless now!" Starscream growled.
Just then, the doors behind him opened up and 2 Vehicons walked into the command center, causing Starscream to turn his head to them.
"At least tell me you have terminated that Autobot at least." Starscream asked.
"Yeah, we think so since we didn't find his body." One of the Vehicons repiled.
Starscream hummed in satisfaction, before the Nemesis proceeded to leave the crater.
The Surface…
Down on the ground, the Nemesis had vanished by view, just as a green and white portal opened and, soon, in order, the vehicles that Optimus rounded up, came out of it. Starting, was the motorcycle, who transformed into Arcee, next was the ambulance, who transformed into Red Alert, next was the SUV, who transformed into Bulkhead, next was the yellow sports car, who transformed into Bumblebee, next was the yellow sports car, who transformed into Bumblebee, next was the black and light green sports car, who transformed into Crosswise, and lastly was the semi-truck, who transformed into Optimus Prime.
All of them had their weapons drawn, ready for battle, only to see that there was no one but themselves, causing them all to retract their weapons, looking at the crater.
"An untapped Energon deposit." Red Alert observed.
"What's left of it." Rodimus added.
"Isn't this the first Decepticon activity in 3 Earth years?" Bulkhead asked, turning to his comrades in worry.
"That we know of." Optimus replied, sounding grim. "If they are scouting for Energon, then they must be preparing for his return."
"Well isn't that just great." Crosswise said, sarcastically.
The group approached the crater and started to spread out, to see if they could look for Cliffjumper. Just then, while looking for their comrade, Arcee soon spotted Cliffjumpers horn that the Vehicons broke off during the fight before gasping in horror and rushing over to it and, gently, grabbing it. The Autobots saw Cliffjumper's horn in Arcee's hands and all looked at each other in worry and concern, fearing their comrade may have perished, before they soon hear a groan coming from above them before looking up to see Cliffjumper standing above them and having a couple of burn marks from the explosion.
"Did anyone miss me?" Cliffjumper quipped, having a small grin on his face.
The Autobots all just looked at Cliffjumper with relief, glad he is alive and only having a couple of burn marks.
"Glad to see you're still in one piece Cliff." Bumblebee said, speaking in buzzes and beeps. "I had a bad feeling that you might have died today."
"Yeah, I was just glad that the explosion sent me into the forest." Cliffjumper repiled, before the Autobots exited the crater to meet up with their comrade.
"Looks like you are missing something." Crosswise said, noticing that Cliffjumpers horn was gone before looking at the horn, which is in Arcees hands.
Cliffjumper saw the horn in Arcees hands before he gasped and touched part of his head where the horn originally was. "Seriously?! They hit off my horn! Not cool!"
"Just be glad that they only hit off your horn Cliffjumper. We may have lost you today." Red Alert said, rolling his eyes, even though he had no eyes and only wore a visor to see.
Soon, after seeing that Cliffjumper is a bit banged up from the explosion and the fact he was only missing a single horn, they returned home, feeling glad that Cliffjumper survived, but, at the same time, felt worried since the Decepticons were now back.
The Nemesis…
Starscream was at the terminal, still pondering over how they could have captured that Autobot, at the crater, and interrogated him. He did recognize the Autobot as Cliffjumper, a Autobot that he once captured after the fall of Cybertron and tried to interrogate him and a Autobot known as Arcee, only for the two to escape and end up on this planet, which took 3 Earth years to find this planet. However, before he could think further, a robotic voice suddenly called out to him from behind.
"Starscream." The robotic voice announced, causing Starscream to let out a yelp before he soon turned around to see a light blue Decepticon walk up behind him, with his body looking pretty thin and his face was just a screen.
"What is it, Soundwave?" Starscream asked, annoyed by Soundwave sneaking up on him like that.
"It would appear like Cliffjumper wasn't the only Autobot on this planet." Soundwave said, before replaying the conversation between Arcee and Cliffjumper.
"Arcee…. How interesting." Starscream mumbled, now sounding interested, before letting out a predatory grin. "Why not just slay one Autobot when we still have the element of surprise on our side? Send out Road Rage with a couple of Vehicons with him."
Autobot Base…
The Autobots were all inside of their base, which was given to them by the human government after the Autobots revealed themselves to them. While Red Alert was tending to Cliffjumper and reattaching his horn, Optimus saw how worried his Autobots were over the fact that the Decepticons were on Earth with them before he gave out a speech.
"We can't let our fear and insecurity about losing each other get to us. As of today, us eight Autobots remain on this planet. We own it to ourselves. The memory of Cybertron. To any Autobot who is out there in the galaxy seeking any safe harbor. To mankind. And to the memories of our fallen comrades to survive." Optimus said, causing the Autobots to all feel less worried.
"Man, leave it to the boss to make us feel more safe." Crosswise commented, causing Optimus to let out a small chuckle.
"Well, I did give a speech to the Council during the Golden Age." Optimus said.
"If you all don't mind, I'll just be taking a little drive in Los Angeles." Arcee said, leaving the base, as she transformed into her alt mode and drove off.
"Optimus, with all due respect, helping humans will only result in more tragedy." Red Alert told the Autobot leader, seeing Arcee drive off.
"Your opinion is noted." Optimus replied.
Los Angeles…
In the city of Los Angeles, a half latina and half Irish 17-year-old girl was walking through the streets, talking to someone over her phone, looking and talking like she was annoyed. This was just Tori Vega, your average and normal high school girl who went to Hollywood Arts, which was a creative arts school which she was enrolled in ever since she was 16-years-old, and it was definitely the weirdest school she's been in if you ask her.
"Trina! For the last time, I didn't leave your phone in the laundry room! What makes you think I would?" Tori asked, speaking to her older sister over the phone, sounding like she is done with her.
"Well, I saw you enter the laundry room and I assumed that you had my phone when you were going inside of it." Trina explained, causing Tori to facepalm.
"But what makes you think I would have your phone?" Tori asked.
"Simple, I don't know." Trina said, causing Tori to facepalm again, in sheer disbelief upon hearing what her sister had to say. "But, when I find my phone, I am so gotta gloat over how right I was!"
Just then, Trina hung up on Tori, causing Tori to just groan. "Man, even on the home phone, she is still annoying! Why did I have to end up with a sister like her again?"
Tori was brought out of her thoughts when she saw that her mom was calling her and picked it up. "Hey mom."
"Tori! How have you been doing my little girl? Do you now know what you are going to do after you graduate from Hollywood Arts?" Holly Vega, Tori and Trina's mom, asked, causing Tori to sign.
"Mom, you do realize that I am just 17-years-old? I'm not ready for this type of stuff yet!" Tori said, causing her mom to sign.
"Alright. But just tell me if you are ready and, if you are in some big situation, I am the person that you can talk to, alright?" Holly said, before the call ends, leaving Tori to ponder in her thoughts alone.
Meanwhile, Arcee was driving down the road, with her hologram being visible so no one could suspect she was a giant transforming alien robot. When she passed by a gas station, two purple cars drove out and followed her, including a black and yellow sports car. Arcee noticed this on her side mirrors before she recognized them as Decepticons. She quickly wasted no time in increasing her speed and made a quick turn, entering a parking lot, before making sure that her pursuers weren't following her and saw they just continued down the street. However, she knew they would come back to find her before checking if they were no humans before doing what she was planning if this ever happened.
"Alright, take five Anna." She said, deactivating her hologram and her systems, making sure to look like a normal motorcycle that was just parked.
However, it was at that moment that Tori walked into the parking lot and soon took a look at Arcee, in her motorcycle mode, before she let out a whistle upon seeing it. Soon, Tori went over to the pink motorcycle and started to admire it quite a bit.
"Man, if I ever had a ride like you, I would get Trina and Jade to stop picking on me." Tori commented, while running her hands on the driver seat before getting on, gripping the handles. "It might take me a while, but I will get a ride like you one day. I promise."
Without the teenage girl noticing, Arcee adjusted her side view mirror and saw, much to her dismay, that the black and yellow sports car was coming back and entering this parking lot, causing her to silently curse. "Scarp."
The black and yellow sports car revved up its engine before driving straight at the Autobot, before Arcee quickly got out of the way and managed to avoid being rammed by the black and yellow sports car and quickly drove onto the streets, with Tori still on Arcee.
Speaking of Tori, she was caught off guard when the pink motorcycle began to drive on its own and drove off onto the streets, causing the poor girl to become so confused and scared as she started screaming for her dear life as the pink motorcycle was driving past other cars and avoiding crashing into them.
"Whatever you do, don't let go!" Arcee said to Tori, who looked around for the female voice.
"Who said that?!" Tori asked, freaking out more by the second.
"Well, let's just say, I am the motorcycle you are on." Arcee said, causing Tori to look at her in disbelief at the fact that a motorcycle can talk all a sudden.
At that moment, the black and yellow sports car was able to catch up to Arcee, right behind her as it was also avoiding any cars it drove past.
"Looks like you were right, Starscream. They are Autobots on this dirtball of a planet and I am right now going after one. Looks like she has a teenage human girl with her." The black and yellow sports car, named Road Rage, reported to Starscream from his communicator.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Destroy them!" Starscream shouted through their com-link, with the two Vehicons catching up to Road Rage and driving alongside them as they continued going after Arcee.
Arcee was able to get to a nearby alley and quickly came to a skidding stop, allowing Tori to get off, as the girl was still looking at the motorcycle in disbelief.
"What are you supposed to be?" Tori asked.
"Look, just pretend I don't exist and do not tell anyone about this, alright?" Arcee asked, sounding a bit frustrated, although she was just faking it to make sure Tori would be convinced not to tell anyone about her.
Tori, seeing how Arcee was frustrated, decided to listen to her and run down the alley, leaving Arcee to rev up her engine and take off, just as Road Rage continued chasing her. However, Arcee noticed the two Vehicons made a turn right into the same alley that Tori was running down.
"You've got to be kidding me." Arcee said in disbelief, before she quickly drove towards Road Rage and used his front as a ramp, launching herself high into the air and landed down.
Meanwhile, Tori was running for her dear life down the alley when she noticed the two purple cars following her, with one of them behind the front one.
"I don't even know her!" Tori said, trying to reason with the purple cars that were following her.
At that same moment, Arcee quickly used the purple cars as ramps, launching herself into the air and right in front of Tori, who came to a stop, panting.
"Hop on!" Arcee shouted, causing Tori to waste no time on getting on.
With Tori on, Arcee immediately increased her speed and drove out of the alley. Granted, she didn't come up with a plan if a human got involved, but this human's safety was her number 1 priority. She continued down the street, heading for the freeway, with the three cars still chasing her. The Vehicons soon got out their weapons that were hidden underneath their hoods and started to fire at Arcee, with the Autobot doing her best to dodge them while Tori had to duck a few times to avoid being hit by them.
"Are they really shooting at us?!" Tori yelped, as Arcee drove onto the highway.
"Yeah. Hang on kid. This just got more dangerous!" Arcee said, while driving past the cars and to avoid being hit by them.
Tori looked back and saw that their pursuers were behind and were closing in on them. However, on the other side of the highway, Rodimus and Bumblebee, in their alt modes, drove right up to the purple cars and slammed themselves against them, causing the Vehicons to stop in order to not topple over in their alt modes. Road Rage noticed this and decided to briefly change his target and focus on the two Autobots.
"Um, are those guys your friends?" Tori asked, seeing how the red and yellow lamborghini and yellow sports car were able to briefly stop the purple cars.
"Yeah." Arcee answered, feeling glad that Rodimus and Bumblebee were able to come to her aid.
Meanwhile, back behind them, Road Rage, Rodimus, and Bumblebee played a game of who could stay in front, rapidly changing lanes, with Rodimus right now in the front.
"Never thought we would never see you here, Road Rage." Rodimus commented, while staying in the front while Road Rage was trying to get past him.
"Well, guess what? We're here to pretty much get rid of you guys. Satisfied to get my answer?" Road Rage responded. "Now, if you want to see what a real sports car can do, here it is!"
Road Rage quickly changed lanes for the last time before he allowed Rodimus to try to slam into him, only for him to pull back as Rodimus slammed into Bumblebee instead, causing the two Autobots to crash into the guard rail.
"Scarp! You good Bee.!" Rodimus asked, pulling up so he could allow Bumblebee to get some room.
"Yeah. But we need to go help Arcee right now!" Bumblebee said, as he saw Road Rage and the two Vehicons were already past them, before the two Autobots quickly drove after them.
Road Rage noticed them coming, from one of his side-view mirrors, before going back to deal with them, leaving the two Vehicons to go after Arcee.
Beneath the bridge…
Meanwhile, Cat Valentine was just walking down the sidewalk, just pondering to herself, feeling pretty bored to herself, oblivious to the events that were going on top of the bridge. Her phone went off and she picked it up, seeing it was her brother.
"Hey bro, I'm just walking. Can I keep on walking for 10 more minutes? It's what I like to do. Thanks." She said, hanging up on him, before continuing to walk, humming to herself.
The Highway…
Arcee continued to drive down the highway, speeding as fast as she could, right towards roadwork. Tori noticed this and her eyes widened in complete horror as she let out a scream of fear.
"What are you doing?!" Tori shouted, as they were about to jump off the highway.
"Hang on like you never did before!" Arcee said, before she drove off a ramp, launching herself off into the air yet again, as Tori screamed in fear and horror, before Arcee landed on the ground, allowing Tori to get off.
Tori looked like she was just traumatized from the entire thing and just fell on all 4's, just panting so hard, before she heard Cat's voice call out to her. "Tori?"
Tori looked up and saw Cat standing right there, looking in awe, before she got up and walked over to her, looking like she was about to throw up.
"How did you do that?" Cat asked.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." Tori replied.
Suddenly, both Tori and Cat looked up and saw the two purple cars, driving down the hill and jumping off it, causing Cat to be confused while Tori just groaned upon seeing them.
"What are they going to do now? Try to kill us?" Tori, sarcastically, asked, unknown what was about to happen.
Just then, the two cars transformed into their robot forms, with the purple ones looking exactly like each other as they landed on the ground.
"Why did I have to ask that?" Tori asked in shock and fear, with Cat looking in awe upon seeing the cars transform into robots.
Just then, Arcee transformed from her motorcycle form into her robot form, causing Tori and Cat to look at her in surprise.
"You want a fight Cons, fine by me!" Arcee declared, before charging at her enemies.
The two Vehicons opened fire on her, causing her to easily dodge with ease before she leaped up into the air and dived right into one of them, kicking him in the chest, sending him flying to the ground, before the another one tried to hit Arcee, only for Arcee to quickly dodge before uppercutting him, before the one that got kicked down got back up and soon tried to help its comrade attack Arcee, only for Arcee to dodge his attack.
Tori and Cat watched the fight, with them looking amazed and scared to see the female robot fight the two purple robots by herself.
"What do you think they are?" Cat asked.
"Talking cars that can transform into robots." Tori answered, although not sounding too sure of herself. "Or the other way around."
Arcee kicked a Vehicon in the chest before delivering a fierce punch to the Vehicon's face. So far, she was dominating the fight, but all of that would change when the black and yellow sports car showed up and transformed into Road Rage, landing on the ground, where the fight was happening, before grabbing Arcee from behind and uppercutting her so hard that she was sent flying up into the air and crashing onto the ground, painfully.
"What's the matter Bot? Too weak?" Road Rage taunted, before hearing some tire screeching and seeing Rodimus and Bumblebee jump off the bridge, in their alt modes, before transforming into their robot forms and landing on the ground.
Rodimus landed on the ground, right in front of Road Rage, before giving him a solid punch right to his jaw, while Bumblebee dodged a punch from a Vehicon before throwing a jab to the Vehicon's gut before doing a kick on him, sending the Vehicon back.
"That was so cool!" Cat called out to them, causing Bumblebee to look at her and Tori, who looked nervous.
"Thanks! Are you guys okay?" Bumblebee asked, causing Tori to be confused at what he just said since he was speaking in buzzes and beeps.
"Yeah!" Cat responded, causing Tori to look at Cat in amazement about how she could understand Bumblebee.
"You can understand what he is saying?" Tori asked, causing Cat to nod.
"Yeah. Can't you?" Cat asked, causing Tori to stay silent.
However, a laser soon hit Bumblebee and sent him flying back and crashing onto his face. Before Bumblebee could get up, the Vehicon that shot him pinned him down by slamming his foot down on Bumblebee's back while the other Vehicon aimed his weapon at Bumblebee, ready to blast at him.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Cat yelled out, causing the Vehicons to look at her and Tori, causing the two of them to be nervous.
"Um, please?" Cat, nervously, asked, before one of the Vehicons walked over to her and Tori, causing Tori to grab Cat's hand and quickly run, with Cat running as well.
"Why did you have to say that Cat!" Tori asked, before the two got inside of a tunnel before the Vehicon tried to grab them before it was yanked back, causing the two girls to see it was Bumblebee who saved them.
"Just keep on going down the tunnel and don't stop!" Bumblebee instructed.
"I don't know what you just said, but if it means to run, okay!" Tori said, before she and Cat went further down the tunnel.
"Who do you think those robots were? Cat asked.
"Don't know and don't want to find out." Tori repiled.
Meanwhile, with the fight between Road Rage and Rodimus, Rodimus was able to dodge a punch from Road Rage before trying to hit him with a kick, only for Road Rage to grab it and pick him up before slamming him down onto the ground before kicking him right to Bumblebee and Arcee, who had just recovered from that uppercut that Road Rage gave her. Arcee and Bumblebee helped Rodimus get back up while the two Vehicons regrouped with Road Rage, before the three Autobots got into fighting stances.
Just then, the three Autobots heard two different engines coming behind them before they turned around and saw a familiar black and dark blue sports car and a dark green SUV driving up to them, causing them to feel relief at who they were. Crosswise and Bulkhead transformed into their robot forms and stood behind their three comrades, ready to fight.
"Alright Cons." Crosswise said, getting out his blasters. "Your move."
Seeing how outnumbered they were, Road Rage frowned before telling the Vehicons to retreat, before the three Decepticons transformed and fled for their lives, allowing the five Autobots to relax and Crosswise to put his blasters away, seeing that the Decepticons were gone.
"What took you two so long?" Rodimus asked.
"Traffic." Bulkhead responded.
Autobot Base…
Once the five Autobots got back to base, Arcee, Rodimus, and Bumblebee started to explain to Optimus about what happened to them.
"And the Cons would've finished off Bee if the humans didn't get their attention." Arcee said, after explaining the chase to Optimus.
"Wait, humans?" Optimus asked, sounding concerned and interested.
"Two girls." Bumblebee said, holding up two fingers.
"I guess the second one caught us in action. Don't know since I was busy with Rage at the moment." Rodimus said.
"So, you guys are already starting to make new partners without me?" Cliffjumper asked, as his horn just got reattached to his head, thanks to Red Alert.
"It's not like we wanted to get involved in this. One of the girls was on me when the entire chase happened." Arcee responded.
After hearing all of this, Optimus soon signed. "I was fearing this would happen. If the Decepticons are targeting us, then they might assume the fact that those two human girls are with us and will go after them. Arcee and Bumblebee, bring the girls here so they can know what is really going on between us Autobots and Decepticons, since they are now a part of this."
Hollywood Arts…
The next day, Tori and Cat walked out of the high school they attended, with the day over, before they started talking about what happened yesterday, still getting used to the fact that giant transforming robots actually exist.
"Cat, let's just keep this to ourselves. Got it?" Tori asked, just wanting to forget the whole thing.
"Okay, but, what if someone asks us about it?" Cat asked, causing Tori to sign.
Before she could reply, their friends, consisting of Andre Harris, Beck Oliver, Jade West, and Robbie Shapiro, came over to them and started to talk with them.
"So, what are you two talking about to yourselves?" Andre asked, causing Tori and Cat to look at themselves, not sure on how to hide the fact that they had a run in giant transforming robots yesterday.
"Well, you see, me and Tori were just talking about-" Before Cat could finish her sentence, Tori stopped her from saying anything else, due to her thinking that Cat might bring up what happened yesterday.
"What she meant to say is that we were just hanging out with each other. That's all." Tori said, nervously.
"Really?" Jade asked, sounding suspicious.
Before Tori could reply, Cat tagged on Tori's t-shirt, causing her to look at Cat before Cat pointed at a familiar yellow sports car drive up to them, causing Tori to look at it in fear while the rest of the gang looked at the car in confusion.
"When did you two know a guy who owns a ride like this?" Beck asked, looking at the yellow sports car.
"Well… I think you guys should go away." Tori said, pushing her friends away, causing them to be caught off guard and be confused and a bit annoyed at Tori's behavior towards them, before they decided to just walk away, leaving their two friends with the yellow sports car.
"Okay, what do you want?" Tori asked, to the yellow sports car, sounding cautious and annoyed.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you girls. We just need to take you to our base so we can explain what is really going on." Bumblebee assured.
"He just said that he's not gonna hurt us and just wants to take us to where he lives." Cat said, translating it for Tori. "Also, look over there. It's that same motorcycle from yesterday."
Tori looked to where Cat was pointing at before she saw the pink motorcycle, causing her to look at the motorcycle in suspicion and uncertainty. "I don't know if this is a good idea."
However, Cat got inside of Bumblebee when he opened his passenger door for her while Tori was looking at Arcee, in her alt mode, before she noticed that Cat was inside of Bumblebee before her eyes widened.
"Cat? What are you doing?" Tori asked.
"So, my name is Cat Valentine. What's your name?" Cat asked, introducing herself to Bumblebee as the yellow sports car drove off, leaving Tori behind with Arcee.
Tori just signed in annoyance before looking at Arcee and deciding to walk away from her, not wanting to do anything with this type of stuff. The pink motorcycle saw Tori walking away before she signed in frustration before driving after her.
Meanwhile, with Jade, Andre, Beck, and Robbie, the four humans were walking down the sidewalk, discussing what was going on with Tori and Cat just now.
"Is it just me or are those two hiding something from us?" Robbie asked.
"Yeah, from the looks of it, they seemed pretty scared when that yellow sports car showed up." Andre said.
"What's even weirder is that the yellow sports car didn't have some sort of driver in it, or from what I saw inside of it." Beck said.
"You think that it might be some kind of car that is alive?" Andre asked. "I know that sounds like a stupid question, but it might be kinda true."
Just then, Beck noticed his girlfriend, Jade, walk away from them. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?"
Jade rolled her eyes before answering Beck's question. "Isn't it obvious? To find what is up with Vega and Cat."
"You know that they looked like they didn't want to talk about it." Beck called out to the goth girl, who just turned around and glared at him, causing him to flinch under his girlfriend's glare.
"I am going to find out what is going on with those two and you three are coming with me. Whether you like it or not." Jade said.
"Are you sure this is a good-" Before Robbie could finish his question, Jade cut him off with a glare, causing him to stay silent.
Meanwhile, Tori was walking down an alley before Arcee soon drove up to her and stopped in front of her, making sure that they could talk. "Easy there, I'm not gonna do anything to you."
Tori just narrowed her eyes at Arcee, ready to walk the other way before remembering that Arcee did save her yesterday from being killed by those purple robots, before signing and deciding to talk to her.
"Fine. What do you want with me?" She asked.
"Nothing. I just need you to come with you, that's all." Arcee replied.
"To where exactly? Wait, Cat did tell me that your yellow friend was taking her to where he lived. So, does it mean you are taking me to your base?" Tori asked.
"Yep. Optimus wants to see you and make sure you are not going to be targeted by the Cons anytime soon." Arcee answered.
"Who's Optimus?" Tori asked, wondering what kind of a name Optimus is.
Unknown to them, Jade, Beck, Robbie, and Andre sneaked up on them and listened to everything what they were saying, before they saw that Tori was talking to some pink motorcycle, causing the four humans be confused at what is going until Robbie started to realize that the motorcycle was talking by itself, causing him to suddenly scream in shock.
"It's a talking motorcycle! It's a talking motor-" Before Robbie could finish what he had to say, Andre put his hand over his mouth, causing him to be in silence as he was trying to yell.
Unfortunately for them, Tori and Arcee heard them before they saw that they were peeking from the corner, causing Arcee to sign in annoyance at allowing herself to be caught again while Tori was surprised to see them.
"So, are you going to explain why you are talking to a motorcycle, Vega?" Jade asked, looking at the motorcycle.
"Well, where do I begin? I-" Before Tori had the choice to finish what she was going to say, Arcee signed and cut her off.
"Kid, it's fine. I'll just reveal myself." Arcee said.
Arcee then transforms into her robot form, and looks at Jade, Beck, Andre, and Robbie, who are all stunned to see her be a giant transforming robot.
"What the? Is that a robot that can turn into… a… a.. motorcycle?" Andre asked in deep shock.
"Bee, you might wanna come back over here. We've got another situation." Arcee said, speaking to her communicator.
Mojave Desert…
Later on, Cat, Beck, Robbie, and Jade were inside of Bumblebee while Tori and Andre were riding on Arcee, with Robbie trying his best to not freak out as much as he could since he and his friends were right on riding with giant transforming robots that could transform into vehicles.
"Remind me why we are supposed to go with you?" Jade asked, getting annoyed by Robbie freaking out.
"Rules." Arcee answered.
The two vehicles continued to ride towards the desert, before a huge rock structure came into view, causing the teens to suddenly panic and think that they were going to crash into the rock structure.
"Um, don't you realize that we are heading straight into a huge rock?! Stop!" Tori cried out.
Thankfully, that didn't happen and the rocks split apart, revealing a large secret metal door instead, causing the teens to look at it in amazement, while they were going inside of the structure.
"Okay, this is something out of a spy movie." Andre commented, looking around the facility as the two Autobots were going deeper into it.
Soon, the forms of Red Alert, Rodimus, Cliffjumper, Crosswise, and Bulkhead came into view in front of the teens, before the two Autobots came to a stop and allowed the teens to get off or out of them, before they transformed into their robot forms.
"I thought they were only two human girls that were spotted by you two." Red Alert said, seeing that they were three human boys and one more human girl with the two Autobots.
"Well, I did hear that humans multiply." Arcee answered, obviously in a joking tone.
"Nice to meet you guys. Name's Andre." Andre introduced himself to the other Autobots.
"So… who are you?" Robbie asked Bulkhead, walking up to him.
"Bulkhead." The Autobot responded, having a grin on his face. "You look like you're nervous and a nerd. Don't worry, I'm a nice guy."
"Thanks." Robbie said. "By the way, if you guys are robots, then who made you?"
That question caused Crosswise to be offended by it and look at Robbie with an annoyed look. "We ain't some robots built by humans you know!"
"Whoa! Easy! We're not racist to robots!" Beck said, seeing how scared Robbie was from what Crosswise just said.
"I don't know why, but I'm starting to like this guy." Jade commented, looking at Crosswise.
The six teens then heard heavy footsteps coming from behind them, before they turned around to see the towering form of Optimus Prime, who they were caught off guard to see, not expecting him to be this tall and big when compared to the other Autobots they met.
Optimus saw their surprised looks and decided to explain things. "We are autonomous robotic organisms that come from Cybertron, which is a planet that is many solar systems away from this one. But, you can call us Cybertronians for short or, to be more specific, Autobots."
"Wait, so you guys are aliens?" Andre asked, with him and his friends being a bit caught off guard by how noble and wise Optimus sounded.
"Yes." Optimus responded, causing Cat to look concerned.
"Wait, are you guys going to try to make us into your offspring or something like that?" She asked, causing her friends to facepalm at Cat's question, while the Autobots looked weirded out by what she just said.
"Um… no." Cliffjumper responded, sounding creeped out.
"Just ignore her. She just watched Aliens a week ago and is pretty much traumatized by it." Jade explained to the Autobots.
"You mean that one horror movie from the year 1986?" Rodimus asked, causing the teens to be caught off guard by Rodimus's question. "While we were hiding in this base, we ended up watching human movies so we could entertain ourselves."
"Really?" Beck asked.
"Yeah, most of the movies we watched so far were pretty fun." Bumblebee said, causing Andre, Beck, Robbie, and Jade to be confused at what Bumblebee just said, before Cat soon translated what the Autobot had tried to say.
"Wait, you can understand what he is saying?" Beck asked Cat, who nodded.
"Yeah." Cat replied. "I think the reason why I understand him is because I'm on the Internet a lot, hearing all of the buzzes and beeps he has been saying. But why can't he talk?"
Red Alert signed before deciding to tell the truth to the teens. "His voice box was heavily damaged during the war on Cybertron. I tried my best to repair it… but I couldn't fully fix it."
"That's awful!" Tori exclaimed, looking at Bumblebee, who shrugged the concern off with a wave, gesturing he was alright if he couldn't speak normally.
"Anyways, back on topic, the reason why we are on this planet is because we are here to defend your planet from the Decepticons." Optimus said, deciding to get back to talking about what he was saying.
"The jokers who tried to bump us yesterday." Arcee clarified for Tori and Cat.
"Okay, so why are they here?" Tori asked, causing Optimus to knelt down before them.
"A fair question, Tori. They are here because our homeworld is dead, devastated by eons of civil war." Optimus explained.
"Wait, why are you guys fighting a war?" Andre asked, feeling a bit horrified at the fact that an entire planet died all because of a single war.
"Mostly over control of our world's supply of Energon, the lifeblood of all Cybertronians, Autobots and Decepticons alike." Optimus then explained. "The warfare was fierce and it endured for centuries. The one who was responsible for starting the war was Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons."
"Megatron, huh? Let me guess, he's the main bad guy, right?" Jade asked.
"You are mostly correct." Optimus answered, before his tone started to sound grim. "Megatron has not been seen or heard in quite some time. But, if his return is imminent, as I suspect, it could be catastrophic."
The Nemesis…
Within the command brig of the Decepticon Warship, Soundwave walked towards Starscream, with his face visor showing frequency wavelengths, originating from the deep ends of outer space, which could only mean their leader would be returning soon.
"Those transmissions are emanating from deep space." Soundwave said. "Lord Megatron is coming back."
"Soundwave… are you sure it is him?" Starscream asked, turning to the Decepticon's Communication Officer.
"You sound like you don't want him back so soon." Road Rage said, walking into the command brig, with another Decepticon that was around the same size as Bulkhead and also had a green and red paint job, as well as looking like he could transform into a tank, who called himself Demolisher.
"I would hate to waste the Energon." Starscream replied, looking offended by Road Rage's comment.
"Woah! Let's not get into a fight now!" Demolisher said, trying to stop a fight from happening. "Just be glad that Lord Megatron might be coming back, right Starscream?"
Starscream signed to himself. "Very well. Lock onto the transmission coordinates and activate the space bridge."
"At once." Soundwave repiled, already starting up the space bridge the Decepticons had.
High in Earth's orbit, a massive, jagged, circular object, which was the Decepticons space bridge, activated and out came from it was a Cybertronian jet, that transformed into an menacing Decepticon who was covered in gladiator-like armor, had blood-red eyes and a fusion cannon on his left arm. This was Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons and archnemesis to Optimus Prime.
"Decepticons! Your leader has returned!" Megatron declared, already having a sinister plan in the works.
Closing Notes: If you are wondering, Road Rage's appearance and personality is based on Wheeljack from Transformers: Armada. Also, this takes place after season 4 of Victorious. Anyways, leave a review on what you guys think so far.
